Chapter 33 The Unlucky Ghost

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense. You don't look very old, how can you be so accurate?" Xia Qiu looked at Mu Li with suspicion.

Mother Su stepped forward quickly: "Old Xia, don't talk nonsense. Didn't I tell you some time ago that our hotel might need to be renovated? It's because someone plotted against us..."

Mother Su briefly explained what happened in the restaurant, and Xia Qiu's face was full of confusion.

He remembered that Mother Su mentioned the renovation some time ago, and at the same time he was muttering in his heart, what's going on?

But I didn't expect that there was such a secret. Mu Li was only 17 or 18 years old. She looked like a cute little girl, not like the legendary master.

"But why doesn't she have white hair and beard? Generally speaking, people who are very capable are very old. Is this little girl really that capable?"

When Xia Qiu said this, Su's mother's face changed, and she looked at Mu Li's expression carefully.

She found that her expression didn't change at all, and she was relieved in her heart.

Mu Li smiled helplessly. Since coming to this world, business has not been good. At least when Lao Tong went out to set up a stall before, there were still some people who believed in him, so he could make a living.

A big reason is that he looks too young, and doesn't have the appearance of a Taoist master in many people's minds.

Xia Qiu still had a skeptical look on his face. If Mu Li didn't show some ability, Xia Qiu would definitely not believe it.

Mu Li rummaged through his small bag and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper that had been wrapped.

"If you carry this with you, it can guarantee that you won't encounter any bad things within three hours. If you don't believe it, we can go back."

Xia Qiu took the talisman paper in Mu Li's hand doubtfully. The talisman paper was folded into a triangle and placed in the palm of his hand. It

looked no different from what he had prayed for in the Taoist temple when he went on a trip before. I wonder if it really works?

Mother Su and Mu Li, who were about to leave, were just beside him, watching Xia Qiu go back with their eyes wide open.

The distance is more than 300 meters. When he came out, there were many problems, but when he came back, nothing happened.

Xia Qiu arrived at the door of the studio. The flower pots at the door had been cleaned.

Seeing that he was fine except for some injuries on his body, he was almost in tears.

You have to know how he has been living these days. He goes to the hospital once a day on average.

He will encounter all kinds of strange things in the hospital, such as the bed collapsing when he sits on it, and the door that was originally hung firmly at the door of the corridor smashes directly towards him.

While waiting for examination in the corridor, a man who happened to be in trouble with the doctor came with a big knife, and the big knife slipped out of his hand and chopped straight at him.

If it weren't for his good luck, his life might not be saved.

Because things have been so weird lately, Xia Qiu chose to stay in the studio.

Strangely enough, when he was in the studio, there weren't so many bad things happening. He hadn't been home for several days.

Mother Su looked fascinated: "Old Xia, I told you that our little god is really good. Now you believe what the little god said is true, right?"

Xia Qiu tightly grasped the triangular talisman paper in his hand, and his hand was slightly hot.

He looked at Mu Li with excited eyes: "Little god, save me, I don't know what's going on recently, I'm almost tortured to death."

Now he finally believed that someone really replaced his fate.

If it was replaced, could he still survive?

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. Especially the horror novels he had read in college, the fear in his heart became more and more severe.

Mu Li looked at the increasingly terrified expression on Xia Qiu's face, as well as the workers in the studio who had seen ghosts one after another. Xia Qiu was completely different from when he first met him.

Xia Qiu held Mu Li's hands with both hands and begged devoutly.

Mu Li pulled his hands back with force and said to Xia Qiu: "Let's go into the room and talk first. Your employees are watching us."

Xia Qiu then realized that there were still many of his employees outside and coughed awkwardly several times.

Then he took them upstairs. I didn't pay much attention when I first came here, but when I went upstairs, I found that next to the interesting products they placed, there was a statue of Guandi.

And it looked like it had been worshipped for a long time, and the incense on it was very strong.

Guandi, also known as "Xie Tian Dadi", has another more well-known name, that is Guan Yu.

In addition to curing diseases and eliminating disasters, exorcising evil spirits, punishing rebellion, and inspecting the underworld, Guan Yu's functions also include "Si Ming Lu", protecting merchants and attracting wealth.

The reason why Xia Qiu was not affected in the studio was largely because of this statue.

Seeing Mu Li staring at the statue, Xia Qiu felt a little strange.

"What are you looking at, little god?"

Seeing that it was the God of Wealth Guan Yu that they had been worshipping, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"For those of us who do business, we naturally hope to make a lot of money, so we basically worship the God of Wealth."

As for whether to believe it or not, that's another matter. But after bringing the statue into the house, Xia Qiu basically worships it every day, and even if he doesn't have time, he will ask his employees to burn incense .

The main point is that no matter whether you believe it or not, the sense of ritual must be there.

It has been worshipping here for many years, and it has become a daily habit. As long as you are in the company, you have to worship it every day.

Xia Qiu didn't know that it was this sense of ritual and habit that indirectly saved his life.

"If you are really here, I won't be so unlucky, just because of this statue."

Xia Qiu widened his eyes and looked at Mu Li.

"Really?"

Mu Li nodded. "In addition to being the God of Wealth, Guan Yu is also in charge of warding off evil spirits. You have the Yin energy that replaces your luck. When you see the statue, you dare not act rashly."

However, this little bit of incense smell will not last for long, at most half a month. Even if Xia Qiu stays in the studio, it will be useless.

Mu Li did not say this.

After hearing this, Xia Qiu hurried over to light some incense and worshipped the statue devoutly.

He looked too devout.

But it was normal to think about it, as the deity had saved his life.

Soon they arrived at the teahouse, and Xia Qiu sat there. He was in no mood to make tea.

"Now tell me when you started to be like this, and what strange things happened before that."

Xia Qiu recalled quickly, and then said, "I suddenly became so unlucky five or six days ago. Normally, I have good luck, but it was just these five or six days when nothing went well for me."
