41, Chapter 41(1/2)
Wei Xi suddenly stopped and looked back.
He noticed that the second disciple also stopped and looked back, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The wind gently rolled the incense ash and whirled around her feet. Outside the lush greenery of the Wei family, the towering sect stone tablets and the quaint incense burner stood quietly in their original place.
Wei Xi looked at it for a while, and finally frowned and shook his head: "Nothing."
***
Liandu Temple is located in a small scenic spot in the suburbs of Beijing. It is located in a relatively remote location. Because it is old, it has been divided into cultural relics protection buildings. You can see the introduction information hanging on the walls from a distance.
The incense is also very popular. On the daily days of the New Year and the Festival, you can see ordinary believers carrying tributes to burn incense on the road. Wei Xi was envious when he heard the sound on the phone. Now he has observed the scale of his peers on the spot. He feels more and more that his own sect's business mode needs to be improved. When will the Taicang Sect attract so many people to come to burn incense and worship?
Tuanjieyi comforted him: "Master, we are just starting out now. How can we compare with a family business like Lianduguan? Didn't you read this? Lianduguan was established two hundred years ago? You don't even look at it. People have houses in scenic spots, but they are still such a big house. Different, rich second generation, with a father, the starting point is higher than our company."
Wei Xi looked at the second disciple who was more reliable: "Is that true?"
Shuozong met his black and white eyes and was silent for a while: "...well."
Unity and Robbery: "Yes, my junior brother agrees with me too!"
Wei Xixin said that this is the case. In this way, the foundation of the Kuang Zhiming family is indeed much deeper than that of the bragging Wei Dedao. No wonder he can master Wei Dedao in his hand and never teaches his dual cultivation skills.
When Kuang Zhiming came out to pick up people, he found that Wei Xi was looking at him with an envious look. He couldn't help but sweat. He saw that Taicang Sect could catch ghosts and become the recruitment site, so he was speechless. He could not figure out what he had to be envied by the other party.
However, although he was acting strangely, the strength of Taicang Sect was there, so he was still polite: "Fellow Daoist Wei, please come here."
Wei Xi agreed and walked inward after him. Suddenly he remembered something, and reached out to take out a volume of the book from his backpack of Unity and Yi: "Fellow Daoist, this is the sign-in book mentioned to you on the phone of our sect's human resources manager. Although you are willing to believe us, it is better to explain it to your believer after all. If he still has doubts, he can directly call our human resources manager here to confront you."
Kuang Zhiming: "????"
Kuang Zhiming glanced at the book with a stern and sensual energy in Weixi's hand. Although the cover was seriously printed with the words "Taicang Zong Co., Ltd.'s first employee training conference", he knew it was definitely not something that humans could use.
Thinking of the content mentioned by the human affairs manager on the phone that the Taoist temple crawled from the phone, his sweat in his temples was getting faster, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Heavenly Lord who was worshipping beside him. The Heavenly Lord looked fierce after the curling smoke, and no matter how he looked, it seemed that he was glaring at himself.
"No need, no need, no need, no need." He quickly refused, and said in a harsh tone: "Please put away the sign-in book, please. After all, I am a Taoist temple, and the ancestors are watching..."
Although it never appears.
As soon as the thought arose, I heard a scream from beside me: "Oh, why did this fragrance break in the waist!"
Kuang Zhiming: "..."
Wei Xi saw his face turned blue and put away the sign-in book and sighed: "You are really bad-tempered, and they are much more irritable than the Heavenly Lords in our sect."
As he finished speaking, he heard another scream: "Oh! The candle is extinguished!"
"..." Kuang Zhiming dared not respond. The believers who hurriedly solved the commotion were soaked in sweat. Fortunately, the believers were relatively simple and just found an excuse for the poor quality of incense and candles and fooled them.
***
The believers who came to the door to ask for rituals were waiting in the quiet room. Seeing that Kuang Zhiming looked blue, he brought a group of strangers in, and immediately stood up to greet him: "Master Kuang, are they..."
"This is the Taoist Master of the Taicang Sect. These two are the Taoist Master of the Taoist Master's disciples. They are both my fellow Taoists from the local area. After hearing about you, they came to investigate together." Kuang Zhiming thought that he had just apologized to the ancestor just now and finally had a stable and stable incense. He waved his hand exhausted, "The things they asked you to do are quite a bit of a relationship."
The believer was still a little unbelievable when he saw the appearance of Wei Xi and the others. How could he become a monk and become a Taoist priest now have such high requirements for appearance? As a result, he heard Kuang Zhiming say that they had a connection with him, and he couldn't help but ask curiously. What was strange was that Kuang Zhiming refused to explain where the origin of both sides was. He simply turned to look at the person coming, but a big and smiling man came out of the other party's team to shake hands with him, and didn't say anything else, and kept talking about asking for more care in the future.
He came here to ask for help to exorcise evil spirits. What can he take care of these masters? He was confused when the monk heard it, so he had to put this question aside and describe the trouble he encountered.
The man's name is Bai Hao, and he is the developer of the Hong Kong Yue Building, a shopping mall under construction.
Speaking of the development process of the Hong Kong Yue Building, it is also a very long story. This project has been built for nearly ten years since the land was approved. The project progress has been so slow that it is terrifying. In recent years, it has simply been abandoned. You must know that this is a city center with every inch of land. Such unfinished real estate buildings with astonishing costs are quite rare in the country, so it has always attracted much attention from the outside world. The pressure on developers can be imagined.
"Such a good location has been unbuilt for so many years, and every day it has been a brand new loss. We were also anxious. In June, the project department put the plan to resume work of the mall on the agenda. The company also decided to re-allocate funds, hoping to continue to build the Gangyue Building as soon as possible according to the initial plan, and then create a brand new shopping destination. For this matter, I specially brought a new design project team to Beijing for inspection last month and went to Beijing for study experience. The inspection was almost over, and we had almost planned the shopping mall area planning and investment promotion. As a result, after a few days of the day, we had a celebration meal with the project team, and just passed by that area. I suddenly thought that the night lights of the new mall should also be designed in the building's exterior building, so I decided to take people in to take a look at it at night. Who knew something happened to me?"
Bai Hao was still shocked when he said this, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.
It was almost midnight at that time. It was quite late and the weather was cold. There were not many people shopping in the city center. To be honest, in this situation, the black and unfinished building looked really cunning. There was an architectural designer named Xiao Ke in the project team who was very scared and refused to go in no matter what he said.
However, except for him, everyone present was eager to try it out. Bai Hao received the new era education since childhood and was a young man with a strong spirit. He also didn't believe that. Seeing Xiao Ke was afraid of being like this, he laughed at him with a few words, why are you a great man still afraid of the dark?
The minority obeyed the majority, and everyone insisted so much that Xiao Ke had no choice but to follow them tremblingly.
The temperature was low at night, and everyone measured the walls outside and decided to go to the top of the building to see if they could do some more articles on the sign lights on the top floor.
The elevators of the unfinished property have long been discontinued. If you want to go up the top floor, you can only walk from the stairs. Fortunately, the building is not high and it is not difficult to get up. However, it is too late. As Xiao Ke is afraid of the darkness, everyone does not leave separately and always gathers in groups. Unexpectedly, when he is going up the stairs, Xiao Ke suddenly said in surprise that he heard the sound.
Everyone stopped immediately, of course they didn't hear anything. Recently, the capital has been in winter and the temperature has dropped sharply. Under such severe cold, there is no roaring insects outside.
Seeing this, everyone immediately started to laugh at Xiao Ke, saying that he was afraid of the darkness and was so scared that he had auditory hallucinations.
Xiao Ke said with certainty that he heard it correctly. A voice kept floating around him, but of course no one believed him. Everyone insisted on going up to the top floor and taking photos of the night scene of the surrounding business district.
Bai Hao was busy filming the scene at that time, but as he was filming, he suddenly heard someone beside him ask himself: "Where have people been?"
He subconsciously answered, "Isn't it here?" Then he realized that the question was a very old strange voice that he had never heard before.
He was shocked at the time and immediately turned to search, but found that the people on the top floor had already evacuated and there were no other figures around him. He was shocked and scared, and thought he had also had auditory hallucinations. However, after scanning the crowd, he found that Xiao Ke was missing!
He immediately shouted and gathered everyone, but the others didn't realize when Xiao Ke disappeared. It was not fun to make such a thing in the middle of the night. Several team members thought that Xiao Ke was afraid of being hiding where he secretly hid, so someone called Xiao Ke unhappily. Unexpectedly, the phone ringing rang, but the source of the sound was not on the top floor, but faintly, like a desolate ghost crying, and no one answered it.
Everyone was inexplicably moved downstairs to check, but unexpectedly they found that Xiao Ke had fallen into a pool of blood.
When everyone rushed forward, Xiao Ke was a little conscious. He lay on the messy wooden boards at the bottom of the building, with red eyes spreading brightly under him. He stared at his eyes tightly, and accompanied by the blood gushing out, a gurgling sound in his throat.
"Ghost... there is a ghost... I saw it..."
After saying this, he tilted his face with a terrifying look and felt dizzy.
****
"Xiao Ke is still in the city hospital. The doctor said that fortunately he found out early. He probably won't be able to save him after another half an hour later. Although he has survived the dangerous period, he is still in a coma and I don't know when he will wake up. The hospital said that he had multiple comminuted fractures on his body and internal organs were damaged, which should have been caused by falling down from the roof." Bai Hao said this and wiped his face heavily again, with obvious fear and regret on his face. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked to go into the property to observe in the middle of the night, and that sound... that sound..."
The old and strange voice has been lingering in my mind since the day of the accident. He has confirmed with everyone who is with him. At that time, everyone was busy with their own affairs and no one has said anything like that.
This time, Bai Hao was really scared. While he felt that this was an illusion, he felt that Xiao Ke fell from the building was really weird, not to mention that the sentence he said before fainting was so directed that he could no longer deceive himself.
But Xiao Ke has not yet woken up, and he cannot ask exactly what the other party had experienced before falling from the building. He could only be frightened all day long, so frightened that he couldn't even sleep. So after thinking about it, he decided to ask for help from the unnatural powers, searched online, and selected the local Liandu Temple, which is well-known locally.
After hearing this, Kuang Zhiming's expression became very serious. The living person almost died after falling from the building. This is not a trivial matter. He immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Bai, I'll call Neizi. Let's accompany you to the real estate project to see what happened."
"Can, can it work?" Bai Hao was already scared at this time and changed from firm materialism to another extreme. He asked pale, "I... I went to inquire later. When the shopping mall was under construction, the company reported that the land in the Gangyue Building was a mass grave hundreds of years ago, and later it was outsourced to the construction company. The project also had accidents one after another. The company also specially hired people to drive away evil and change Feng Shui, but the problem had never been solved. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have let it stop working for so many years. You said that if it were really a mass grave, there wouldn't be thousands of dead people buried under it? Xiao Ke was forced to jump off the building. If these dead people appeared together, wouldn't it be a big army? How could we solve so many of them?"
Kuang Zhiming was silent for a while when he heard this. Under Bai Hao's fearful gaze, his eyes slowly turned to the Taicang Sect and his group beside him.
Bai Hao: "?"
The great disciple of Taicang Sect immediately smiled at the future landlord with knowledge: "Mr. Bai, don't worry, my master is the best. If not, we can also attract foreign players. There are hundreds of employees in our sect, and we will not suffer any losses when we go together."
How many hundred employees are there? This is the standard of a medium-sized enterprise. Bai Hao looked at Wei Xi and imagined the scene of hundreds of Taoist priests sending troops to fight against ghosts. He felt relieved and surprised, "Master Wei is really... he is so young and promising. At such a young age, he actually operates such a large-scale Taoist temple."
But he hadn't understood it. Do Taoist Temples also recruit so many people now? When he came to Liandu Temple just now, he didn't seem to see so many Taoist priests. When he thought about it, Bai Hao couldn't help but ask Kuang Zhiming curiously: "Master Kuang, do you have so many Taoist priests here?"
Kuang Zhiming stared at him, his eyes were complicated, but he didn't know how to explain it. After a long time, he could only answer with difficulty: "Lianduguan currently has 17 people, nine monks have become monks, and there are many other people, without adding shortage of ordinary people, a total of forty-five people."
This number of people is really impressive among the Taoist temples in various cities, and it is one of the best in the local area. Bai Hao, a non-believer, had no idea. He was disappointed when he heard it. There were only 45 people, and there were hundreds of people in Taicang Sect.
Having said that, this direct comparison is still too embarrassing. Bai Hao did not show his thoughts, and quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Ahhh, that's it, it's okay, there are so many forty-five people. I think Master Kuang, your incense is good, the location is good, and it is a scenic spot, and it will definitely develop in the future."
But if he had known this, he would have directly looked for this larger Taicang Sect. The netizens on the local forum were really unreliable. They said that they were the best in the Lotus, which made him a foreigner take it as a real person.
Kuang Zhiming was not happy at all when he heard his sincere comfort. He bit his lips and stepped out of the threshold, feeling extremely humiliated. Why was his Lianduguan so inexplicably defeated?
Before he could finish his grievance, he heard Bai Hao's voice coming from inside: "Oh, Master Wei, where is the specific address of your Taicang Sect? I haven't found it online before. I have time recently, so I can go to your incense burning at that time."
When he finished speaking, the confessors' exclaim came from the front of the quiet room: "Oh, Taoist priest, come and see, why is the newly launched incense broken again? Is the quality of this brand not good?"
Kuang Zhiming: "..."
