Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Taoist Master Yunzhi knew that these ghosts did not want to kill him for the time being, or rather, the leader of the ghosts here, the evil ghost who was currently staying alone in the largest office far away, did not want to kill him.
After trapping him, the evil spirit instructed the ghosts guarding him not to kill him, but to keep him alive until the living people of the company came to work in two days, so as to make an example of him.
But the situation is a bit complicated now, and the group of ghosts seem to be rebelling against the evil ghost.
Taoist Master Yunzhi sat cross-legged opposite the evil ghost that floated up a few minutes ago, looking a little dazed.
"I untied you for the sake of the boss downstairs, so you must not be ungrateful!" The evil ghost whispered, "Don't even think about running away. If you alarm our boss and let him find out about this, it will ruin the boss downstairs's plans!"
The elder brother...
The Taoist priest's eyes twitched, and after a while he said quietly, "Are you talking about the young man named Yuan?"
"Yes, that's him." The evil ghost said proudly, "The boss promised me that after the matter is accomplished, he will use his connections to let me jump the queue and let me reincarnate as the son of the richest man!"
Taoist Priest: "...Aren't you afraid that he is lying?"
"Hey, as a ghost, I always have to take a gamble, just in case!" The evil ghost was unexpectedly free and easy.
Taoist Priest: “…” What he said made a lot of sense, and he was speechless.
One of the ghosts guarding the Taoist priest who had just been persuaded to do so grabbed the evil ghost and said, "Brother Liu, I also want to be reborn into the richest man's family."
The other one also said eagerly: "Brother Liu, I want it too."
The evil spirit Liu, who was called Brother Liu, patted them on the shoulders and said with great loyalty: "We three have such a good relationship, how could I abandon you! Don't worry, I have already talked to the elder brother and asked him to arrange for the three of us to be reincarnated as brothers."
"Is this... feasible?"
"Of course!" Liu Egui was very confident. "The elder said that the country now supports having three children. What a coincidence!"
It's a coincidence, Taoist Yunzhi thought with his eyes wide open. He even wanted to ask them if they were afraid of being short of one person. The child of the richest man... whoever heard this would be excited! If this was true, he would have to consider whether he should die now and compete for the job.
But he could not, and he did not believe it.
As a decent Taoist priest among the 22nd generation of Kongmen Temple disciples, Yunzhi's ability was not enough to allow him to deal with the underworld. But he often watched his master and uncles perform rituals to help the dead, and occasionally saw one or two ghost messengers.
In his impression, those ghost messengers were all serious and calm, and they didn't gossip with others. He heard from his master that the position of the underworld god was vacant, and most of the ghost messengers were doing their own thing and were very busy. Normally, if you invite them three or four times, they may not show up.
There are still people underground. That boy named Yuan is really boastful and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! I just don't know how he plans to end it later...
Soon, the scenes happening before his eyes made Taoist Yunzhi no longer have the mind to think about Yuan Tian.
Liu Egui, who had reached the same idea as him, brought his two future brothers and began to develop "downlines" stealthily and mysteriously throughout the entire floor.
"Hey, Brother Ghost, have you heard? A living person came downstairs. He is a relative of the higher-ups in the underworld..."
"Miss Chen, come here and tell you a secret. A big shot has come downstairs. I heard that the King of Hell is his father..."
"What? There's a new King of Hell in the underworld? The King of Hell's son is coming here in person to arrange our reincarnation? Oh, what about our boss? He said he won't reincarnate even if his soul is scattered!"
"What are you afraid of? Brother Liu said that he had made an agreement with the boss. If he doesn't reincarnate, his father, the King of Hell, will arrange a job for him..."
"Oh, I see. It's what the kids in the company call a civil servant, right? It seems pretty good..."
Taoist Master Yunzhi, who had been listening with his ears perked up the entire time, was completely numb.
This is probably the same as the saying "When a chicken dies at the head of the village, a cow dies at the tail end of the village"? I just don't know if it was the Willow Evil Ghost of the A Yuan Cult who spread the rumor like this.
Taoist Master Yunzhi glanced at the farthest office with fear, feeling fortunate that the evil spirit inside was quite far away from here and would not be able to detect the movement outside for a while.
In the office he was watching at the moment, a little ghost was clicking the mouse. The little ghost's clothes were somewhat out of tune with the other ghosts. He wore jeans and a T-shirt, and had a buzz cut. He looked pretty, but he looked shrewd. At this moment, he seemed to remember something and asked carefully, "Boss, aren't you going to kill that Taoist priest? I think it's better to cut the grass at its roots."
A ghost in a black robe, with a handsome appearance but a somewhat aggressive look, glanced at him coldly, and a faint black mist was emitted from his body.
Upon seeing this, the kid stopped talking and turned around to continue clicking the mouse.
Upstairs, the persuasion campaign was in full swing. Downstairs, Yuan Tian and Tang Yang were also busy.
"Here." As he spoke, Tang Yang handed a blank yellow talisman paper filled with words to Yuan Tian.
"Have you finished writing? Thank you for your hard work." The child took it with a smile.
Tang Yang looked at the talisman paper on which he had only written a few lines, then looked at the huge pattern vaguely visible on the floor, which was drawn out of thin air by Yuan Tian, and said dryly, "You are still working harder."
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "But why did you draw the turtle?"
Yuan Tian: "...This is a formation."
Tang Yang: “…………” His painting skills are really amazing.
Xiao Jing clapped on the side: "What a great painting! Boss, no wonder you asked Brother Tang to write."
If one can draw a formation that looks like a turtle, then wouldn’t words be written like earthworms?
Yuan Tian looked hopeless. Was this what he wanted? If he had other tools at hand, he wouldn't have drawn the formation out of thin air and exposed his poor painting skills.
She was apparently quite skillful when coloring the paper figures, but when it came to drawing the formation and other things, everything became a mess!
Ignoring the man and the ghost beside him, Yuan Tian first drew something on the talisman paper, and then stood in the middle of the formation. He held the talisman paper between his right index and middle fingers, closed his eyes, and muttered something, but no sound came out.
He has such a good appearance that when he gets serious, he becomes aloof and elegant, and indeed has a bit of the cold-hearted look of a Taoist monk. Tang Yang thought to himself, it's strange that he looks good, and it's strange that he can bluff people.
After a while, the talisman paper in Yuan Tian's hand spontaneously ignited without fire, and soon turned into ash, which fell on the formation. The child also opened his eyes at this time and clapped his hands: "Done, now we just have to wait for the ghost brother surnamed Liu to bring his ghost friends over."
Tang Yang looked at the dust on the ground hesitantly: "It's not a good idea for us to do this, right?"
Xiao Jing couldn't bear it any more: "Boss, aren't we being too harsh?"
"A little bit." Yuan Tian touched his chin and sighed, "If you think about it carefully, they didn't do anything. They just caused your company to have three days off, paid a Taoist priest to come to your house, and the air conditioner and lights were running non-stop for several days..."
Tang Yang: "...well, I suddenly feel that maybe we can go a little further?"
…
At this time, except for the evil ghost in the office, all other ghosts upstairs have been persuaded. At this moment, the evil ghost Liu was floating outside the office, hesitating.
A kid next to him whispered, "Forget it, Brother Liu. We really don't have the courage to persuade the boss..."
"Yeah, you know the boss' temper. When he gets angry..."
Liu Evil gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Forget it, let's not worry about the boss, let's go find the boss ourselves."
The task Yuan Tian gave him was to persuade all the ghosts, including his boss, as much as possible. However, Liu Evil looked at the office timidly. He usually didn't dare to talk to his boss!
Forget it, forget it. The eldest brother doesn’t want to be reincarnated anyway, so they just need to take care of themselves first.
Thinking of this, Liu Egui waved his hand and led a group of ghost friends to float silently towards the escape passage and went downstairs.
What he didn't know was that just as they were going down the stairs, the black-robed ghost in the office's eyes turned cold, his figure shook, and the next second he floated directly into the lobby outside.
The lobby, which usually looked like a nursing home, was now empty except for the Taoist priest he had captured. The evil spirit curled his lips and smiled coldly, with the black mist around him stirring.
Downstairs, Yuan Tian suddenly said, "I'm here."
As he was speaking, more than a dozen ghosts floated in from the escape passage, led by none other than the evil ghost Liu.
He floated in front of Yuan Tian with an excited look on his face, grinning widely: "Boss Yuan, I have completed the mission successfully!"
Facing so many evil spirits with decent cultivation at the same time, Yuan Tian felt a little nervous. But when he turned his head and saw Tang Yang's calm face, he felt that he couldn't be a coward.
So he said in a cold and businesslike tone, "Xiao Jing, arrange for them to line up and record their demands one by one."
"Okay, boss!" Xiao Jing said, and a pen and a manual appeared in his hand. He called out to the dozen ghosts: "Everyone, line up here. Tell us whether you want to reincarnate or stay in the underworld..."
The behavior of the man and the ghost instantly made some evil ghosts who were skeptical about the matter completely believe it. For a moment, the evil ghosts rushed to line up, fearing that they would miss a good fetus if they were one minute late.
"I want to be a government official. I don't want to be reborn. It's so hard to be a human being..."
"Excuse me, is there any quota left in the richest man's family? I also want to apply to the richest man's family..."
"Well, I want to be reborn as a precious cat. Is that okay with you?"
…
The enthusiasm of the ghosts almost buried Xiao Jing. Fortunately, Liu Evil, who had reserved a place for reincarnation early in the morning, brought his two younger brothers to help maintain order, allowing Xiao Jing to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuan Tian was so pleased watching from the side: "The boy is teachable. Our little Jing is very capable."
Tang Yang looked at the line of evil spirits that looked like they were queuing to enter an examination room, and then looked at Xiao Jing who was writing furiously without stopping, and he felt mixed emotions.
After enduring for a long time, he finally couldn't help but leaned close to Yuan Tian's ear and whispered, "Is there really someone underground with you?"
The hot breath sprinkled on the ear, and it itched straight into the heart. Yuan Tian couldn't help but take a step back. Just as he was about to answer, he saw a cloud of black fog coming from the door of the escape passage.
With a "pop" sound, the black mist hit Yuan Tian in front of him, and then dissipated, revealing the dusty Taoist Master Yunzhi inside.
Taoist Master Yunzhi's hands and feet were tied tightly by the black fog, and he couldn't move. Fortunately, he was still alive and in good spirits.
At this moment, he opened his dead fish eyes to look at Yuan Tian and Tang Yang who were unharmed, then looked at the group of evil ghosts in line and Xiao Jing who was being held up by the ghosts and writing something with his head down, and asked in a lifeless tone: "What are you doing?"
Yuan Tian blinked and said nonsense: "If I say they are asking for autographs, would you believe it?"
Tang Yang, who was standing by, highly agreed with this: "It really is like a fan meeting. By the way, do ghosts in the underworld chase after celebrities? How about we make Xiao Jing a celebrity ghost in the future?"
Taoist Master Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and he wanted to curse impulsively on the spot. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a gloomy air pressure rushed over him, covering the entire floor in an instant.
The evil spirits in the queue suddenly became silent and dared not move.
