Mr. Lu is against superstition during the day and learns fortune-telling from his wife at night
Chapter 167: The Anti-Bow Demon Village
Upon hearing that they were looking for Lu Jingchuan, Zhong Caiyun invited him in.
Lu Jingchuan looked at the unfamiliar man and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about who I am," the man walked straight to the sofa and sat down. "I came here today to bring you good news."
"What good news?" Lu Jingchuan couldn't wait.
"As long as you agree to one condition, I can help you reach the pinnacle of your career. Then the Lu family will beg you to come back."
This is undoubtedly what Lu Jingchuan wants most now: "What are the conditions? I agree."
The man raised his lips in a smug arc, whispered a few words in Lu Jingchuan's ear and left.
Leaving Lu Jingchuan standing there in a daze.
"What did he say to you?" Shen Yining couldn't help but ask when she saw Lu Jingchuan's condition.
Lu Jingchuan only told half of the story: "He said he could help me reach the pinnacle of my career, and then the Lu family would ask us to come back."
Shen Yinning tried hard to suppress her inner joy and touched her belly: "The baby is happy for daddy."
Lu Jingchuan glanced at Shen Yinning's belly meaningfully: "This child came at the perfect time."
After Shen Xia Xia became pregnant, she no longer took on exorcism work, fearing that these evil things would affect the fetus in her belly.
Now is the off-season for ferrymen, the death toll is not high, and even fewer are those who die in vain. If Shen Xia Xia can let Fei Fei do it, she will let Fei Fei do it.
Staying in the metaphysics studio, he either concentrates on practicing metaphysics or eats, sleeps, and entertains himself.
Shen Xia Xia used the thing in her hand to tease Gao Xing who was resting on the shelf.
Every time Gao Xing stretched out his mouth, Shen Xia Xia took the pastries away. Gao Xing was so anxious that he almost fell off the shelf. Shen Xia Xia laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.
This went on and on until Gao Xing lost his patience.
"Dog Xia Xia! Dog Xia Xia..."
"If you say that again, I'll slap you, believe it or not." Shen Xia Xia pretended to be happy.
"Xia Xia, you seem to be too idle and your work is not enough."
A wisp of green smoke floated by, and Cui Jue appeared in a well-tailored suit with his hands behind his back.
It sounds like they're going to cause trouble for Shen Xia Xia.
Shen Xiaxia explained repeatedly: "Saturated, very saturated, Feifei is so busy that she is almost flying."
Cui Jue glanced at the various snacks on the tea table: "They taste delicious."
"It's just so-so, just so-so. It's not as good as Meng Po's soup." Shen Xia Xia said modestly, "If Judge Cui has nothing to do, you should go to the underworld early. Meng Po is waiting for you to celebrate Valentine's Day."
Cui Jue snorted: "You wish. I came here today to give you a new task."
"I protest!"
"The protest is invalid." Cui Jue completely ignored Shen Xia Xia's resistance.
"I'm pregnant and need to rest." Shen Xia Xia decided to play the sympathy card.
Cui Jue was the judge. He had a clear record of all births every year, so he must have known that Shen Xia Xia was pregnant.
"I can't rest for a bit. The ferryman from the next district quit, and I can't find a more suitable person to take over. You are currently taking care of it as well."
"How can you bear to let a pregnant woman like me work so hard here? What if something happens?" Shen Xia Xia protested.
"Don't worry, your child will definitely come into this world safely." Cui Jue said impatiently: "Just do your work well."
Cui Jue handed the life and death list of the next district to Shen Xia Xia.
Shen Xia Xia was just trying to provoke Cui Jue. Cui Jue must know the situation of her child.
Hearing him say that her baby would definitely come into this world safely, Shen Xia Xia finally felt relieved and took the book of life and death from Cui Jue's hand.
"What will happen if I refuse to do it?" Shen Xia Xia was still making a last-ditch effort.
Cui Jue looked very confident: "You used the ferry gate to handle private affairs without permission, used your identity as a ferryman to show off your power, and used your authority as a ferryman to take private jobs, catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits to make money. Any one of these is enough to make you suffer. Now you are pregnant again. Have you ever heard the saying that the son pays the father's debt and karma repeats itself? What do you think will happen if these punishments fall on your child's fate?"
Children are Shen Xia Xia’s lifeblood.
"You!" Shen Xia Xia pointed at Cui Jue angrily, "There is only more dog, there is no worst dog."
With an additional area, Shen Xia Xia can no longer be lazy.
She opened the supplementary volume of the Book of Life and Death in the next area.
Oh my god.
Did the people in this area poke the death god's nest? The death off-season is even higher than the peak season of their area.
No wonder the ferryman gave up. Who can withstand this?
I just took a look at today's figures, and the death toll was 2,000, and the number of unnecessary deaths was 100.
They account for half of Wancheng’s KPI.
Shen Xia Xia couldn't handle it all by herself.
"You should at least send me some helpers," Shen Xia Xia looked at Cui Jue with despair, "With so many people dying in vain, I can't handle it even if I can create a clone."
Cui Jue shook his head: "I can't send you any more. The underworld is short of manpower recently. The Black and White Impermanence are busy as dogs. I really can't send you more manpower."
"However," Cui Jue paused, "I will give you a year-end bonus when the time comes."
The year-end bonus in the underworld is very generous, something not available in the human world. Ordinary ghost messengers don’t even have it, let alone the ferrymen.
Shen Xiaxia suddenly became interested: "What is it?"
Cui Jue kept it a secret and patted Shen Xia Xia on the shoulder: "You'll know when the time comes. Keep working hard. Don't you have two nephews who are very interested in this? Arrange everything for them."
This reminded Shen Xia Xia.
Cheng Ze and Lu Yaohui, those two guys, always keep asking her to lead them in slaying demons and monsters, and they have been following her for a while.
It's time to test their current achievements.
This is not an opportunity.
While Shen Xia Xia was calling to notify them to come over, she opened the Book of Life and Death in her hand to check today's ferry procedures.
One of the most difficult ones was that several exploration anchor teams went to an abandoned village to broadcast a live broadcast in order to attract attention.
Shen Xia Xia knew this village. In metaphysics, this was treated as a special case.
The feng shui is extremely bad, located in a reverse bow position, which belongs to the "empty" feng shui pattern.
The magnetic field inside is extremely strange and weird. People who live there for a long time will easily get sick, the crops they plant will die, and the poultry and livestock will not live long.
In broad daylight, you can see wandering ghosts on the road, and some even occupy people's homes openly, causing people to be attacked by negative energy, feeling dazed and dazed all day long, with more yin than yang.
Over time, the villagers here moved away one after another, leaving an empty village.
This is a village where very few people, ghosts and gods live together, and it is very evil.
Even ordinary mystics would be blinded by ghosts if they entered there.
In the mildest case, one cannot get out and is trapped inside for the rest of his life; in the worst case, one becomes obsessed and dies unexpectedly.
These young men were really courting death, daring to go to this village alone without the protection of any mystic.
After a while, Lu Yaohui and Cheng Ze came over breathlessly: "Sister-in-law, do you have any instructions?"
No wonder companies like to employ young people. They are so energetic and passionate that if you don’t know them, you would think they are one of the Fortune 500 companies.
Shen Xiaxia picked out a few easy tasks for them: "It's time to show your real skills. You have been with me for so long. Today you two will go on a mission alone."
"Really? Really?" Cheng Ze and Lu Yaohui's eyes were full of stars. They had always wanted to see what level their mystical arts had reached, and they were a little excited.
Shen Xia Xia assigned them a hundred tasks: "Today you have to lead a total of fifty ghosts to the ferry gate."
Cheng Ze's eyes were as big as copper bells: "Sister-in-law, don't you think too highly of us?"
Shen Xia Xia: "I believe in your strength."
Shen Xia Xia has looked at the list of wrongful deaths today. Except for a few anchors who were seeking death, the others are not a big deal. These two guys should be able to handle it.
Shen Xia Xia gave each of them a bag, which contained commonly used tools and talismans for catching ghosts and resurrecting the dead. They had already become quite proficient in using these following Shen Xia Xia's instructions.
When Shen Xia Xia handed the Sanqing Bell to them, she reminded them, "If there is an unexpected incident that you cannot solve, just ring the Sanqing Bell three times: right three times, up three times, and down three times, and I will be notified."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will complete the task!" The two of them rushed to the first soul ferry point with great ambition.
......
Shen Xia Xia also quickly packed up her baggage. Not only did she have to ferry these anchors, but there were also forty-five dead ghosts waiting for her to take care of.
She had long wanted to explore this village, as she had heard that it was not only filled with evil spirits, but also contained rare treasures.
Many mystics went looking for this thing, but ended up in failure.
Shen Xia Xia put on the golden brocade robe. She had to say that this thing invented by Zhang Yin was really useful. The last time she wore it out, there was no ghostly aura at all.
This also made her re-examine the power of technology.
She used to think that metaphysics and science were completely opposites, but she didn't expect that science could even explore the rules of metaphysics and invent a series of high-tech methods to deal with ghosts.
Shen Xia Xia used the ferry gate to come to this abandoned village.
As soon as she arrived at the village gate, a chill that penetrated into her bones hit her in the face, and Shen Xia Xia couldn't help but shiver.
There was a miasma filling the air above the village, and the air was sticky and humid. This was a miasma caused by a mixture of extremely bad feng shui and evil spirits.
The miasma was so thick that one couldn't see the way inside clearly, so Shen Xia Xia took out the Taixu Huanlan from her Wuyin bag and lit it.
It has to be the Taixu Huandeng, which can illuminate the human, ghost and immortal paths clearly.
The road name suddenly became bright, and Shen Xia Xia continued walking towards the Guangwang Village under the Taixu Huandeng.
The houses inside are old, and the walls are covered with various vines.
But the armchair at the door of the main room was still shaking by itself.
A female ghost in blue was sitting on it with her long hair covering her face, and giggling sounds could be heard from time to time.
After walking a few more steps, Shen Xia Xia saw a coffin placed on the side of the road. Inside was a male corpse, with his head nailed with a soul-piercing nail.
The further in you go, the thicker the miasma becomes, and the area illuminated by the Taixu Magic Lantern is obviously not that large.
It can only be seen ten meters away, and can cover the light of the Taixu Huandeng. This "empty" piece of land with bad feng shui is really a treasure land for raising ghosts.
Eerie is not enough to describe this place.
"Depend on!"
Suddenly, a ghost face appeared in front of Shen Xia Xia at lightning speed, with a strange smile on its mouth, which scared Shen Xia Xia.
Shen Xia Xia threw out a ghost-exorcising talisman, and the ghost screamed and squeaked as it was burned.
After a while, he was scared to death.
"How dare this little devil come out to scare people." Shen Xia Xia continued walking forward with the lamp in her hand.
At the same time, more and more ghosts began to notice her as a stranger.
Shen Xia Xia took out the Earth Spirit Black Turtle Shell, and the tortoise shell formed a protective shield to block these ghosts.
Shen Xia Xia saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the maze.
The woman looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, with long, thick black hair, wearing a goose yellow floral dress, and had a slender figure.
