Chapter 15
The next day, Xie was woken up by the alarm clock. He dragged himself to the bathroom to wash up, but he was still in the state of "awake but soul still in bed".
He got up at the exact time and didn't have time to eat breakfast. He just grabbed a piece of bread and went out.
The weather has been very good these days, but Xie put on a thin coat and scooted a shared bike to go to the company.
The evil spirit was dealt with, but Xie could clearly feel that the people in the company were in better condition, not as lifeless as he saw yesterday.
The company had just moved in a month ago and there was still a lot of things to do, but Xie was called to a meeting as soon as he sat down, and he was busy until noon.
He opened his phone and wanted to order takeout.
After ordering the takeout and looking at his balance, Xie felt a pang of pain in his heart. He didn't know when he would be able to pay back the money he owed Jing Xiebai.
Just as Xie Que was about to turn off his phone, Jing Xiebai sent him a message.
Fubao: Send it to me via Alipay. I haven’t sent you the money for the last ghost exorcism.
Xie Que: “?”
There is still money to be made? Didn’t he go there to study?
Fubao: You can get money if you participate in exorcism.
Fubao: I will deduct the money you paid last time from here, and give me the remaining 100,000 yuan after you deal with the Taoist priest.
Jing Xiebai never charges in advance. He always makes sure that the problem is resolved before charging.
Thinking of his own financial situation, Xie quickly sent his Alipay account number.
[Alipay received 1,000,000 yuan]
Either way:?
One million, is that so much?
Fubao: You’re right, this is the price.
Under normal circumstances, Jing Xiebai's commission fee would be as high as tens of millions. Last time, he quoted such a low price because he saw that Xie didn't have much money.
The poor are charged less, the rich are charged more, and there is no choice but to charge. This is the tacit rule.
However, Xie suddenly felt that the takeaway he had just ordered was no longer tasty. He should go out and find a restaurant to have a good meal to reward himself for his hard work last night.
His mind was still a little dazed. He hadn't expected that in just five minutes he had transformed from an unemployed vagrant who had to live in a haunted house into a promising young man with assets exceeding one million.
Xie opened Taobao, entered the shopping cart, checked all the boxes, confirmed that the address was correct, and paid without even checking the postage.
As if it was not enough, Xie deleted Pinduoduo neatly. Looking at the empty space on the desktop, he finally felt that he had become a rich man.
Fubao: How’s your cultivation been lately?
Xie Que's spiritual power is not yet enough to open the Yin-Yang Eyes, so he has to hurry up and practice, otherwise he will have to rely on the jade pendant next time he encounters a ghost.
It’s OK: It’s OK. I practice for a while after get off work every day.
Since he started practicing, Xie could clearly feel that his body had improved a lot and he had become much more energetic.
Fubao: Once you open your Yin-Yang eyes, you can take on some Class C commissions and accumulate some experience in exorcising ghosts.
Class C commissions are basically wandering ghosts who can be liberated and reborn with just a piece of talisman paper, and their aggressiveness is almost zero.
Xie did not refuse. He also wanted to try to exorcise ghosts himself. The last time he followed Jing Xiebai to exorcise ghosts, he only defeated a few puppets at most and did not even touch the shadow of a ghost.
After exiting the chat box with Jing Xiebai, Xie went out to get takeout, and quickly got back to work after eating.
After all, one million will eventually be spent, so it is safer to work honestly.
Thinking about practicing, Xie did not plan to work overtime. He forced himself to finish his work before getting off work, had a quick dinner near the company, and then rushed home to practice.
Xie Que was a person who could concentrate very well, and he was even more carefree when it came to cultivation. It was already 1:30 in the morning when he finished meditating.
"Oh no, it's so late."
Xie got up in a hurry. He had to go to work the next morning, so he planned to go to bed as soon as he washed up.
As he walked out of the room, Xie keenly felt something was wrong.
Xie, however, felt like he was being spied on, a feeling that reached its peak when he walked into the living room.
What's going on? Is there a ghost in the house?
Xie took out the talisman paper left over from the last exorcism, took off the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand.
The jade pendant was getting hot, but it was very faint and could not be detected without careful feeling.
"Could it be that a wild ghost came to my house?" Xie walked around the house but couldn't find the ghost. In fact, the farther away from the living room, the lower the temperature of the jade pendant.
That's in the living room.
There was nothing in the living room, but Xie turned the jade pendant around and it didn't change. He could only look at the floor-to-ceiling window.
When Xie first moved in, he had drawn the curtains. He has been busy these past few days and has not opened them.
Thinking that the ghost was most likely behind the curtains, Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm just afraid of not knowing where the ghosts are. However, Xie doesn't want to wake up in the middle of the night and see a ghost right in front of him.
Recalling his last close encounter with Ghost Face, Xie felt a chill run down his spine. From that day on, he had to sleep with a small light on, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
Xie slowed down his pace and approached the window cautiously. Thinking that the ghost was behind him, he was actually a little nervous.
Taking a deep breath, Xie didn't hesitate and pulled open the curtains.
There was no ghost behind the curtains, but Xie could even see the figures of high school students studying hard under the lights in the building opposite. However, the temperature of the jade pendant in his hand increased instead of decreasing, but Xie did not let down his guard. He looked up as if he sensed something.
A bloody face was pressed against the window. Noticing Xie Que's gaze, the ghost grinned at Xie Que.
The ghost seemed to have died from falling from a building. His entire body was upside down and stuck to the window. His skull was shattered, and his brains were stuck to his face and still flowing out. His malicious eyes stared at Xie Que, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
Xie's breathing stagnated, and he subconsciously stuck the talisman paper on the ghost's face and injected spiritual power into it.
The ghost's face was burned and his eyeballs popped out. He stretched out his hands and slammed the window hard, unwilling to leave.
Ghost exorcists have a fatal attraction to ghosts, and killing a ghost exorcist brings much more benefits than killing an ordinary person.
The ghost looked at Xie Que, opened his mouth continuously, scarlet blood flowed out of his mouth, and his ghost hands kept changing positions, trying to break the window.
Xie Que's eyes were cold, and the talisman paper in his hand kept burning, and finally disappeared like a ghost.
Wild ghosts are easy to deal with. Xie Que can scare them away with just a piece of talisman paper.
......
After dealing with the ghost, Xie realized belatedly that he could see ghosts.
Did he open his Yin-Yang eyes?
Xie kept looking up.
After the ghost disappeared, the liquid that had been left on the window also disappeared. The high school student opposite turned off the lights, but Xie did not draw the curtains again.
He was really tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.
I'll tell Jing Xiebai about opening my Yin-Yang eyes tomorrow.
As a result, he waited until noon the next day. However, when Xie was going out to eat and saw the chat box between himself and Jing Xiebai, he remembered that he had opened the Yin-Yang Eyes. He quickly clicked on the dialog box to tell Jing Xiebai about it.
All is fine: I have opened the Yin-Yang eyes.
The opponent responded immediately.
Fubao: Sure, it’ll be quick.
Xie felt a little embarrassed. After all, the book given by Jing Xiebai was more useful. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to open his Yin-Yang eyes.
Fubao: By the way, the previous matter has been dealt with. Do you want to hear the result?
All right: listen.
Xie Que Ting wanted to know what happened in the end. He would occasionally think of the children in the jars, their bodies folded randomly and stuffed into a small jar.
The final destination of any life should not be a glass jar filled with formaldehyde.
Xie wondered if they had finally escaped from the glass jar.
Fubao: Wang Qiang had a lot of romantic debts in the past few years. When his wife was found by the mistress, she gave him a drug to kill him, but he was discovered and lost his life.
Fubao: The evil god was indeed given to Wang Qiang by the Taoist priest, and the formation was also set up by the Taoist priest.
Fubao: I asked Wang Qiang, and he said the Taoist priest’s name was Chen Shan, and he was about 175 cm tall.
The place where Xie Que works has good feng shui, suitable for both raising people and corpses, but there are too many people and the yang energy is too strong, so Chen Shan has to set up a formation to borrow energy to raise the corpses.
If Jing Xiebai hadn't taken over this matter, Chen Shan would probably have invited the evil god back and led the evil ghost away.
Fubao: The human trafficker has been found, and he will be in jail with Wang Qiang soon.
Fubao: I've found someone to help those children's souls pass away, so they can be reborn into good families in their next lives. That evil spirit can't be helped, so I wrote a record of her grievances, which will make it easier for her to appeal to the judge.
The evil ghost's grudge was too strong to enter the cycle of reincarnation and was directly sent to the underworld. Jing Xiebai's record of her grievances would make her life in the underworld easier. Moreover, the body was still there, which could give her family an explanation.
Xie, however, sincerely admired Jing Xiebai. His ability to handle things in a comprehensive manner showed that he was very capable.
All right: What about the evil god? Is he sealed there forever?
Fubao: Please go back and continue sealing.
Evil gods are extremely yin beings. A strong enough evil god can even affect the earth's energy. The most troublesome thing is that evil gods can only be sealed but not destroyed. This is why the government has always emphasized breaking down feudal superstitions.
Feudal superstitions can kill people, let alone evil gods, which are a collection of erroneous beliefs.
Xie frowned slightly. Who on earth was that Chen Shan? He could actually invite the evil spirit to suppress the ghost.
Xie's heart sank, and he felt a little tricky. He was not strong enough now, and it was a fantasy for him to avenge his parents alone. The only thing he was thankful for was that he had Jing Xie Bai's help, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
All is OK: When can I draw talisman paper?
Unable to place his hopes on others, Xie desperately wanted to become stronger.
Fubao: If you want, you can draw now, but don't draw too much. Take your time. You can come to me after work to get the materials.
It is true that Xie Que is extremely talented, but even a genius must proceed step by step. If he skips a step, his cultivation will be lost at best, and he may even go astray at worst.
Could Chen Shan be possessed?
Jing Xiebai was not sure. Chen Shan had a very deep level of cultivation. A hundred years ago when cultivation was popular, he had a great hope of achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven. Could he have gone astray because of this?
They couldn't figure out what was going on, and all they could do now was wait for Lu Jueqiu's investigation results to come out.
Jing Xiebai is not a person who wants to achieve success quickly. He has no commissions these days, so he feels relaxed watching old idol dramas at home alone.
On the other hand, Xie was not so lucky.
Drawing talisman paper is a delicate job, but Xie Quemanghe could only draw one or two usable talisman papers in one night. The house was littered with used talisman papers, and even several talisman pens were broken.
A talisman pen costs tens of thousands of yuan, but Xie felt a pang of pain when he looked at the used talisman pen.
Working like a slave in the company during the day and being busy practicing and drawing talismans when returning home at night is unbearable for anyone. However, Xie looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he had aged several years in an instant.
After finally making it to the weekend and preparing to rest, Jing Xiebai dragged Xie Que to the outskirts of the city to exorcise ghosts.
They were all wandering ghosts waiting to be liberated, but Xie dealt with them easily.
"You're making pretty fast progress. Do you have time this afternoon? I have something to take care of."
Jing Xiebai was holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, leaning against the tree trunk with his hands crossed, raising his eyebrows at Xie Que, looking like a playboy.
Xie Que's mouth twitched. What good could Jing Xiebai expect from looking for him? Other than forcing him to work, what else could it be?
There are many wild ghosts in the suburbs, and generally no one would specifically post a commission to hire someone to exorcise ghosts. However, Xie worked hard for a whole morning and didn't make a penny.
"Lu Jueqiu has found out about Chen Shan." It had been a long time, and even Lu Jueqiu had to spend several days to find out.
Hearing the news about Chen Shan, Xie's eyes lit up. He picked up his bag and urged Jing Xiebai to act quickly.
"There's time now, let's go."
Jing Xiebai's words filled Xie Que's health. He changed from his previous haggard look to a radiant one.
