Chapter 13 Chapter 13
The spacious and grand company reception desk presents a three-legged tripod situation.
There is a hint of confrontation between two of the parties, while the other party is just watching and feeling worried.
The ghost group that Xiao Jing belonged to was the one that was just watching the show. The evil ghost Liu whispered in his ear, "That's our boss. Do you think Boss Yuan can convince him? What if the two of them start fighting? Although your Boss Yuan is very powerful, he is still young and a living person. Our boss has beaten all of us ghosts! Hey, if our boss gets angry, he might even beat us up again..."
Xiao Jing ignored him, his eyes fixed on the evil spirit standing opposite his boss in front of him.
The black, elegant robes were filled with a murderous aura that frightened him. The eyes on his angular face were dark and deep, with a hint of blood, like the black of blood. His eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked at the two living people in front of him, as if the ghosts and people in front of him were just insignificant beings that could be crushed to death at any time.
The ghost was not very tall, but the evil aura around him seemed to have raised his image by two points. At least when Xiao Jing looked at him, he felt full of oppression.
Xiao Jing knew that it was the crushing of the evil spirit and strength of the same kind. It was different from the little ghost like him who didn't know how he died and relied on his soul to survive for a long time inexplicably and barely had some skills; it was also different from the dozen evil ghosts in front of him who had never directly harmed people and at most only indirectly scared and harmed people.
The black-clothed evil ghost in front of him was a real evil ghost. He was very powerful and must have killed many people or ghosts, otherwise he would not have such eyes and murderous aura.
Xiao Jing felt a chill in his heart, and then he looked at Yuan Tian and Tang Yang who were standing opposite the evil ghost, and his heart began to beat. One was weak and even had a sickly look on his face, while the other looked strong but was just an ordinary person, a typical example of a strong exterior but weak interior. To anyone's eyes, the two of them combined were probably not as powerful as the evil ghost.
Unfortunately, his elder family member had no idea of his worries. He looked at the evil spirit opposite him and said with admiration the first sentence since the confrontation between the two sides: "You are definitely the most handsome evil spirit I have ever seen!"
The evil spirit was slightly startled, and finally there was some fluctuation in his eyes. He looked at Yuan Tian strangely for a long time, his face vaguely a little tangled. Wouldn't it be very rude if he didn't say "thank you" at this time?
Tang Yang curled his lips and muttered quietly: "I'm not more handsome than him..."
"That's different," Yuan Tian comforted him, "You are a human and he is a ghost, you can't compare."
Tang Yang felt relieved and was obviously comforted.
Veins popped up on the ghost's forehead.
The bystander Liu Evil Ghost felt sympathy and secretly happy. Finally, a ghost experienced the pain of being ignored like him before? !
Taoist Master Yunzhi, who was standing between the two people and the ghost, quietly moved towards Yuan Tian while making the sign of a cross for the evil ghost in his heart.
The evil spirit took a deep breath, looked at the unknown formation formed by spiritual power in the open space not far away, and finally said: "Are you also a Taoist priest? Can you Taoists draw formations without the help of props now?"
Hearing this, Taoist Master Yunzhi paused, looked around for a moment, and finally found the formation that the evil spirit had mentioned. Then, he looked at the formation that was drawn purely with spiritual power, with a look of shock on his face.
——What is this painting?
Yuan Tian subconsciously glanced at the Taoist priest on the ground, then smiled friendly and said, "That's not important. Comrade Li Gui, I think you are a reasonable person and you didn't start shouting for war. I don't want to fight with you either, so how about we just sit down and have a good chat?"
The evil ghost hesitated for a moment. In fact, he had actually planned to tie up or even kill the two humans before he came down. It was not because they had entered his territory, but because they had used some unknown method to incite the group of ghosts who had followed him for many years.
But when he saw the formation on the ground, he decided to hold back for the time being. There are very few Taoist magicians who can draw formations with bare hands, and this ability requires extremely high spiritual power and control ability. Anyone who can do this is not so easy to mess with.
The evil ghost is not afraid of fighting with capable people, but he is an evil ghost, not a stupid ghost. There will be a lot of trouble after such a fight. Often, beating the younger ones will attract the older ones. This is why he did not kill the Taoist priest on the ground at first. Those who have a master are the most troublesome. Rather than facing waves of trouble in the future, it is better to see what this person wants to do first.
Glancing at the group of ghosts queuing up, he said coldly: "Tell me first, what are they doing?"
"Arrange a place for them to go," Yuan Tian said with a harmless look on his face, "You know, it's not good for ordinary ghosts to float on the ground for too long. Although they have some cultivation, their souls will probably become unstable after a long time. It's better for them to go to the underworld, either to be reincarnated or to make a living. It's better than floating around and losing their souls one day, right!"
The evil ghost sneered: "Since you know all this, then you must know that the underworld is short of ghosts and will not accept these lonely ghosts to reincarnate for the time being."
Generally, ghosts will be led to the underworld by the underworld officials within seven days after death, but there are some special cases. That is, the ghosts have too much resentment and escape early. The underworld officials are very busy and have no time to capture them one by one, so those ghosts either take the opportunity to become fierce ghosts or become lonely ghosts.
These ghosts do not enter the underworld, do not enjoy worship, and can only float in this world. Evil ghosts are fine, and some ghosts with weaker cultivation will lose their resentment over time, and maybe one day their souls will also disperse while floating. Therefore, some old ghosts want to reincarnate and become human again before their souls fly away.
Unfortunately, the lonely ghosts did not register with the underworld in time when they were new souls. The underworld said that the time limit for the Book of Life and Death had expired and did not make any arrangements for the lonely ghosts who had been in the underworld for a long time.
When the evil ghost said this, all the eliminated ghosts became agitated.
"What do you mean? Does it mean we still can't be reborn?"
"No way, is the elder Yuan lying to me?"
"Even ghosts can lie?! Hiss, is this still a human being?"
…
Yuan Tian was exposed on the spot, but he was calm on the surface, but he was frantically trying to make up for it in his heart. This evil ghost is not easy to fool, and he knows a lot about the underworld. I'm in trouble.
Tang Yang spoke up at this time: "In the past, our country had family planning, and couples were only allowed to have one child, which severely limited the number of reincarnations. But now it has been opened to three children, and the number of reincarnations has greatly increased. It is not surprising that the underworld keeps up with the times and begins to accept reincarnation applications from old ghosts, isn't it?"
The evil spirit was stunned. Is that so? If that was the case, it would make sense...
Yuan Tian was stunned when she heard this and turned to look at him. Tang Yang looked cold and confident, even taking it for granted, as if what he said was the truth.
The child couldn't help but touch his chin, lowering his eyebrows, and after thinking carefully, he felt that it made sense. He thought, I have to find a way to ask later whether the underworld has opened up the number of reincarnations.
As soon as Tang Yang said this, the agitated ghosts immediately calmed down.
"Yeah, I think I heard someone from the company talking about it, and it is true that the policy of having three children has been implemented."
"Phew, I was so scared. I thought I was cheated."
"What are you afraid of? I told you that at worst, there are people under the lord..."
Yuan Tian also stepped forward at the right time, cleared his throat and said calmly: "Please rest assured, you are right. At worst, I have people underground who can always make arrangements for you."
Is there someone underground? The ghost's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, and asked: "If you really have someone underground, can you help me with something? Don't worry, I just want to inquire about someone."
Yuan Tian didn't even think twice: "Sure, but before that you have to answer a few questions for me honestly."
The evil spirit pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said coldly: "You say."
Yuan Tian then asked: "Are you guys gathered here for some conspiracy?"
The evil spirit was honest: "...No."
"Then what are we gathering here for?" Yuan Tian was puzzled.
The evil ghost seemed to find it difficult to speak, and finally couldn't help but glance at the group of ghosts, signaling his men to come out and speak.
With a glance from him, Willow Evil Ghost stepped forward naturally, acting as a spokesperson and saying, "We used to stay in the forest of the cemetery in the west of the city. When our boss passed by here a while ago, he said that this building is less popular and has air conditioning, which is suitable for us to live in, so he moved us here."
Low popularity? And air conditioning? This reason... Yuan Tian looked at Tang Yang sympathetically, thought for a moment, and whispered to him: "You can ask the rest."
"..." After a moment of silence, Tang Yang finally looked at the evil spirit and asked, "A criminal accidentally entered the building a while ago and died here. Was it you who did it?"
"No," the evil ghost answered straightforwardly, "The ghost did die in an accident. After his death, he became a new ghost and bumped into me while trying to avoid the evil spirits. He is still upstairs now, using the computer to help me look up information. It was because of him that I discovered this building..."
At that time, the new ghost was very afraid of him and didn't want to go to the underworld. But he was just a new ghost with little cultivation and was eager to ask for his protection. So he led him into the building, took him to feel the comfort of the air conditioner, and demonstrated some computers to him.
The weather has been hot recently, the sun is scorching, and the forest has limited shelter, so the ghosts under the evil ghost have a hard time during the day. He originally came out to find a new place for these little ghosts, and seeing that the two floors of the building have air conditioning and computers, he simply used this place as a base. Ghosts like cool environments, and the lowest temperature of the air conditioner gives them a good sense of comfort.
As for the living people in the company? Just scare them away.
After listening to the ghost's concise words, Tang Yang's face gradually darkened: "So, the printer is running automatically without anyone noticing, the lights are often flickering, and the computer is often infected... Are all these caused by you?!"
Facing the gloomy and angry human, the evil ghost looked at the ghosts decisively: "They did it."
A group of ghosts: “…………” How could their boss pass the blame to them without any expression!
So, the reason why the thousand-year-old evil spirit took over the human's territory was because he wanted the cool air conditioner in his house and the computer in his house? !
Tang Yang's face gradually darkened, his eyes fixed on the evil spirit, his voice full of murderous intent: "Do you know how much money I lost! Air conditioning fees, computer repair fees, employee holiday fees..."
"Calm down." Yuan Tian held his hand and patted the back of his hand with her other hand, comforting him softly: "Brother Tang, don't worry. I will get all of this back for you, including compensation for your mental damages, yeah!"
The temperature from the palms and backs of his hands was quite cold. Tang Yang immediately shifted his attention and held Yuan Tian's hand with his backhand, frowning: "Why is it so cold? Are you feeling unwell?"
This sudden concern made Yuan Tian stunned for a moment before he reacted. He pulled his hand away and said, "It's okay, just a little cold."
After saying that, he looked at the evil spirit that was looking at him and Tang Yang inquiringly, and said seriously: "By the way, you don't want to reincarnate, right? Then I will help you apply to the underworld to arrange a stable job for you, so that all your subordinates won't be reincarnated and you will be alone..."
The ghost frowned: "What about the things you promised to do for me?"
"No hurry." Yuan Tian pointed at the ghosts who were watching and said, "Everyone is still waiting. I have to settle you down first."
After a pause, he sighed again and said, "Actually, Brother Ghost, with your knowledge, you should know that evil ghosts like you are not willing to be contacted. It took me a lot of effort to send you down..."
"You owe me a favor!" Yuan Tian shook his head and sighed, "plus what you asked me to do for you, that's two favors now."
The evil ghost was somewhat tempted. He didn't care much whether he was in the underworld or in the human world, but the environment in the underworld was always more suitable for ghosts to live in. Moreover, if these stupid ghosts under his command could all be reincarnated, that would be a good thing...
After thinking it over, the evil spirit finally asked a question: "Why are you helping us so much?"
This is also what the ghosts wanted to know, and they all craned their necks to wait for his answer.
"Do you still need to ask?" Yuan Tian pointed at Tang Yang beside him and smiled, "The building belongs to my friend. If I help you, it's the same as helping my friend."
Tang Yang looked at him blankly. So the child went through so much trouble just for him?
friend?
He smiled unconsciously, and seemed to be doing pretty well.
After hearing Yuan Tian's words, the evil spirits and other ghosts felt relieved.
"In that case, I do owe you a favor." The evil spirit thought for a moment, and then said, "When I ask you to do something for me, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will do anything I can for you."
This is what he was waiting for! Yuan Tian smiled brightly: "Okay! A man's words are as good as his words!"
Seeing him smiling happily, Li Gui suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. It seemed that he had accidentally agreed to something incredible...
Before he could think about it, the formation created by Yuan Tian with spiritual power not far away suddenly gushed out black mist, and the yin energy was even more intense than when the evil spirits came out. The ghosts began to stir restlessly, and Xiao Jing couldn't help but float behind Yuan Tian in fear.
The evil ghost also looked at the formation with caution. He knew intuitively that the ghost that was about to come out was one that he could not deal with.
In a short while, the black fog in the formation gradually dissipated, and a male ghost dressed in white and wearing a tall hat with the words "First sight brings wealth" written on the hat slowly emerged from it.
As soon as he appeared, the ghost in white accurately aimed his sight at Yuan Tian, his eyes sparkling, his delicate face showing three parts of anxiety and seven parts of expectation: "Little ghost, it was you who sent the letter, right! Where is the labor you mentioned? Where is the free labor?"
Free...labor???
The ghost's neck tightened as he turned his head and looked at Yuan Tian, his eyes full of disbelief. He was almost moved just now, and even tried to do a favor for her, but he turned around and found that he was sold out? ? ?
Is this something a human can do? ! ! !
Yuan Tian: “…………” This car really flipped over very quickly.
He looked at the sky, the earth, and Tang Yang, but he didn't dare to look at the evil ghost.
