Chapter 1 There is no future in catching ghosts (this chapter is free)

"boring……"

The big black cat that was sleeping next to the table leg raised its head and stared hard at the owner of the sound, and barked "meow, meow" twice to express its dissatisfaction with having a good dream disturbed.

This is a small room of less than 40 square meters, but it looks a bit empty because there are no furnishings. On the wall opposite the door hangs an ink painting of cedar trees, with the title of the painting: When Ji Chou Xiaochun grew white cedar trees, it was painted by Baoxuezhai.

The brush and ink throughout the painting are free and flowing, showing the artist's extraordinary skills.

Apart from this, the only furnishings in the whole room are a table and a chair under the window.

The table is a small square table commonly used by students in schools. It is covered with an elegant cloth curtain embroidered with light chrysanthemum patterns, and placed with ancient pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It has the atmosphere of a scholar.

The culprit who disturbed the black cat's sweet dream was a young man in his mid-twenties. Although he could not be called a handsome guy, he had handsome features and wore a pair of glasses, making him look elegant. But at this moment, he was looking at his two eyes in an inelegant way.

He put his feet on the clean and elegant square table, leaned back on the chair, rested his hands on his head, raised his eyes and stared at the ceiling, and sighed again for a long time, "It's boring..."

The big black cat echoed, "Meow, meow..."

"boring……"

"Meow, meow..."

"none……"

"Bang!"

The door suddenly burst open violently, and the violent noise frightened the man and the cat who were singing in harmony. The young man on the chair and the black cat on the ground jumped up at the same time, and got under the table. Their movements were clean and neat.

In line with the old saying that is as quiet as a virgin but as active as a stripped rabbit, you have the demeanor of a master.

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground sounded from the door, then he walked into the house and gradually approached the desk.

The person and cat under the table looked at each other with six eyes, and they were all so nervous that their hearts were pounding.

Suddenly, the tablecloth was lifted, and a slender hand came in and grabbed the young man's ear with perfect accuracy, "Yong Bowen, get out of here."

"Hey, Sister Xiaoyun, please be gentler." The bespectacled young man Yong Bowen begged while protecting his ears, "For the sake of our childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts..."

What came in was a woman about the same age as Yong Bowen. She was wearing plain clothes and light makeup. She turned over the water to reveal the natural beauty of hibiscus. However, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were blazing with anger at the moment. If glances could kill, I guess the guy in front of her at this moment should be.

He had been killed ten thousand times, cut into thousands of pieces, fried in soup, fileted and ashes.

"Bah, who is your childhood sweetheart? I never knew what was going on in your mind!" Aliyun spat at Yong Bowen, but seeing his pitiful look, she felt sad in her heart.

He hesitated, let go of his hand, and said angrily, "Tell me, what job is this?"

"Probably the ninth portion." Yong Bowen felt a little guilty, lowering his head and not daring to look into Aliyun's eyes.

"You know it too!" Aliyun was furious and shouted suddenly. The penetrating and sharp soprano echoed in the small room. The black cat was so frightened that the black cat didn't say a word and slipped out with its tail between its legs. Yong Bowen

It felt as if her eardrums had been burst, but she was afraid of irritating her so she didn't cover her ears, so she had to endure it.

"The employment situation is not good now, and you know it, is it easy for me to find a job for you? It's better for you, there is no job that can last more than half a month." Aliyun grabbed Yong Bowen's collar, "

You are neither dull nor stupid. You have graduated from a prestigious university with a double bachelor's degree. If you are willing to work hard, any company will be eager to recruit you..."

At this point, she glanced at the neatly arranged table, her anger welled up, she threw Yong Bowen away, kicked the table upside down, and threw all the Four Treasures of the Study on the table for a long time.

"No..." Yong Bowen screamed, but his movements were unambiguous. He suddenly rushed behind the flying table, caught the table, held the table with one hand, jumped up and down, and moved the pen and ink in the air.

He caught the paper and inkstones one by one and put them back on the table, then gently put them on the ground. Then he said in shock, "Sister Xiaoyun, these things are all things passed down from our ancestors."

"I knew it was passed down from generation to generation in your family, so I smashed it!" Aliyun said as she went over to grab the table.

Yong Bowen quickly grabbed the table, dodged and begged: "Sister Xiaoyun, please calm down. That job is really not suitable for me."

"Besides that weird thing about drawing talismans, what kind of job do you think you are suitable for?" Aliyun became more and more angry as she talked.

Yong Bowen said solemnly and solemnly: "What is a ghost painting talisman? It is an authentic Taoist talisman. As the 236th generation descendant of the Northern Sect of Heavenly Masters, it is my duty to cast down ghosts and eliminate evil spirits. How can I do it because of those little talismans?"

A small profit and a waste of time?”

Ai Liyun sneered and said: "Little profit? Can you survive by drinking the northwest wind? Well, don't borrow money from me in the future, and don't come to my house to eat for a living. Just be your god."

"

Hearing this, Yong Bowen immediately became short of breath and said, "Sister Xiaoyun, aren't you so heartless?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Aliyun said with a straight face, "You can't always rely on me, right? I want to get married..."

"What? You want to get married?" When Yong Bowen heard this, he was shocked, his body froze, and he was immediately caught.

It turned out that while the two were talking, their movements never stopped. Aliyun couldn't catch Yong Bowen, but Yong Bowen couldn't get rid of Aliyun. The two of them were dodging and jumping around in the small room.

, the speed is getting faster and faster, but there is no pause or shortness of breath when speaking, showing the style of a master. If an expert who knows the goods sees it, they will inevitably cheer and admire. It is a pity that there is only one in the audience for this rare master's move.

The black cat poked its head at the door and didn't dare to come in.

Yong Bowen was caught by Aliyun but ignored him. He just kept asking: "Sister Xiaoyun, are you getting married? Why didn't I know? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me? Could it be, could it be...

"

Ai Liyun gently let go of Yong Bowen and said with an expressionless face: "It's time for male students to get married, and it's time for female students to get married. I'm twenty-six this year, and it's not surprising even if I get married. If you can be more upbeat,

, do some business, my parents... Sigh, Xiaowen, when will you make people worry-free."

Yong Bowen said angrily: "What's wrong with me now? I know that Uncle Ai looks down on me and thinks that our whole family is a bastard who doesn't do his job properly! But as long as there are people in this world, there will be ghosts, and the Taoism of the Heavenly Master must not be lost.

…”

"Have you seen ghosts? Have your father and grandfather seen ghosts?" Aliyun suddenly interrupted him.

Yong Bowen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, but..."

"Isn't it okay if you haven't seen it?" Aliyun shook her head and said, "Even if you have learned the skill of catching ghosts, but you can't see ghosts, what is the difference between this skill and dragon slaying?"

"But there are still ghosts in this world!" Yong Bowen said firmly, "As long as I have patience, confidence and determination, I will be able to catch the ghosts!"

Ai Liyun was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she also knew that this kind of thinking had been instilled in him since he was a child. It couldn't be reversed in a few words, so he had to change his method, "Okay, even if you want to catch ghosts, then you can't do it without him."

There’s nothing much to do in my regular job of catching ghosts... Do you want to find a part-time job during the break?”

"Um..." Yong Bowen looked at Aliyun hesitantly and suddenly asked, "Sister Xiaoyun, are you really going to get married? Why didn't I hear any news?"

"Who are you? Why should I notify you in advance when I get married?" Aliyun said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't forget to treat you to a wedding banquet when the wedding is held. But I doubt you have money.

Seal the red envelope, I have to say this first, you can’t borrow this money from me again..."

"But, we..." Yong Bowen was so anxious that his face turned red and he scratched his head, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing Yong Bowen in such a hurry, Aliyun, who was so angry, finally showed a faint smile on her face that had been stern for a long time. The two of them knew each other very well since they were young, and when they saw her showing such a little

Smiling, Yong Bowen immediately felt relieved, "Are you kidding me? You scared me to death..."

"Who are you kidding?" Aliyun frowned and said, "My parents have given me an official consent, asking me to find a partner to get married as soon as possible! They know about our affairs, and my parents were also very supportive.

I like you, but you are like this, how can they agree? My dad has already said, unless you can find a serious job, otherwise... Humph, the street king aunt took the initiative to come to my house two days ago,

She said she has a nephew who just returned from studying in Europe and wants to introduce him to me."

"Those Turtles are all about playing with foreign girls, how many good people are there?" Yong Bowen murmured in a low voice, and then he felt that the matter was serious. He considered it carefully for a moment, raised his head resolutely, and said with a fearless attitude of willing to die, "Okay then

Well, Sister Xiaoyun, for your sake, I will find a part-time job this afternoon..."

"That's so good." Ai Liyun achieved her goal and felt proud. She couldn't help but smile sweetly and reached out to pinch Yong Bowen's cheek according to her old habit.

"I'm sorry, please..." A voice suddenly sounded at the door, but stopped mid-sentence.

The two subconsciously turned around and saw an old man in his sixties standing at the door with a stunned face, staring at them blankly.

The situation in the room at this time is like this: a man and a woman are alone in the same room. The man is disheveled, barefoot, holding a table in his hands, with a look of determination that he would rather die than surrender; the woman is smiling like a flower, squinting at each other,

At the same time, he reached out a hand and touched the man's flushed cheek ambiguously.

The expression of sadness and lamentation about the declining world appeared unmistakably on the old man's face.

Aliyun's face turned red, and she quickly retracted her hand. At the same time, she said with a guilty conscience: "Look at the gray on your face." This was meant for the sudden intruder, but the other party obviously did not understand this, and still

He stared at them dumbfounded and continued to maintain a distressed expression.

Although Yong Bowen was also very embarrassed, as a man at this time, he had to step forward to break the deadlock. He had no choice but to cough dryly and ask: "Old sir, what can I do for you?" After saying this, he felt something was wrong and quickly held his hand.

Put down the table above.

The old man came back to his senses, smiled apologetically and said, "May I know how to get to Master Liu's Feng Shui Studio."

It should be noted that this is a comprehensive office building with a height of 22 floors. There are hundreds of large and small company studios in it. Except for a few large companies on the top floor that occupy the entire floor, all other floors are occupied.

It is divided into dozens of small rooms ranging from more than 40 square meters to about 100 square meters. The corridors twist and turn like a maze. Unless you are someone who works here and is very familiar with the environment, it is difficult for outsiders to enter this place.

Don't get lost.

And Yong Bowen, the smallest room in the whole building, is located in the innermost and most remote corner of the eleventh floor. In addition to flies and mosquitoes that often visit, the most visitors are people who are lost and go the wrong way. Of course, the only advantage of the bad location is that

The rent is cheap, only more than a hundred yuan per month. There is another important reason why it is so ridiculously cheap. This room once killed a worker during construction. After the renovation of the building was completed, it was said that there was a

Ghosts were haunted, and the night security guard swore that he had seen ghosts and heard ghost cries, so except for Yong Bowen, a guy who wanted to catch ghosts, no one else was willing to rent this room. But Jean chose a big room.

Cheap Yong Bowen is disappointed that he has rented this place for more than a month, but he has not seen even a ghost.

Another thing that needs to be explained is that the rent for this room for two years was also paid by Ailiyun, so when negotiating the price, she slashed the price, and surprisingly the rent was reduced from 150 to 150 per month.

I only pay 1,000 yuan for two years.
