omnipotent office

Duan Huichuan's face darkened, and he couldn't help touching the ring hanging around his neck through his clothes. This script is wrong, will this wealth-gathering stone also turn its elbows outward?

The overnight wealth that I finally waited for was someone else's!

When Duan returned to Sichuan, the north wind howled in his heart.

The cat owner was eager to count the inheritance, and Duan Huichuan said his farewell tactfully.

He took the lead downstairs with painful steps, and started serious self-criticism and self-doubt as he walked. Is this wealth-gathering stone a counterfeit and shoddy product?If yes, where should he complain?If not, is all this a distortion of the nature or a loss of morality?

He was so absorbed in his thinking that the cat owner shouted his name and chased him for hundreds of meters before he realized it.

The cat owner took his hand out of breath, grateful: "Mr. Duan, you are such a kind person! If it weren't for you, I would not have known that my grandfather buried the relics in the wall of the attic. You don't even want a reward, in my heart How can you feel sorry for it? Hey, these days, there are not many kind-hearted people like you who are not greedy for money and have patience!"

Duan Huichuan was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know what expression to put on for a while: "You are being polite, but I am not..."

"I know!" The cat owner became even more excited, his face flushed, "You are not the kind of person who just sit around and ask for benefits!"

"..." This is a big misunderstanding.

"However, to be a human being, you have to be kind and repay it." The cat owner changed the subject, and mysteriously handed over a big bulging envelope, and said with a smile, "Small kindness is not a respect, please accept it! That, just now Please don't spread the matter about it, lest..."

Looking at the thick pile of banknotes, Duan Huichuan's heart frozen by the arctic glaciers suddenly burst into joy, and his mood was like a roller coaster. He tried his best to restrain the crazily rising of the corners of his mouth, and smiled reservedly:

"How embarrassing is this, even if it didn't come out today, it should be yours and you can't escape."

"Haha, no, no, Mr. Duan is a noble man."

Saying goodbye to the cat owner, Duan Huichuan sauntered to attract money and walked home unhurriedly. His sad and melancholy expression was swept away, and even the arrogant and fiery sun in the sky became cute, and he hummed the song again Famous ditty: "How to solve worries ~ only get rich ~ and beautiful daughter-in-law ~"

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said as he walked, "I said Xiaobai, don't you still have a commission to exorcise ghosts? Hurry up and arrange it for me! What? Why is the salary low? You little comrade, You can’t always get into the eyes of money. Helping others is the foundation of happiness, you know? Okay, I’ll go back right away. By the way, I’ll eat crabs tonight! Where did it come from? I picked it up on the side of the road!

It was rare for the boss to change his lazy attitude, and he was so impatient that he wanted to finish another commission right away. Bai Jian didn't know how to go out today, so he changed his mind. Although he was puzzled, he arranged the itinerary quickly after all.

The client's villa is located in the middle of the mountain in the seaside of the neighboring city. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the climate is pleasant and very livable. The air on the mountain is even more fresh. It also brings bursts of coolness without hesitation.

Unfortunately, in time for the holiday, Duan Huichuan drove Bai Jian on the congested expressway for four hours before barely reaching the destination before dark.

Zhang Pan didn't come with him this time - after all, as a disciple of Longhushan, such a meager entrustment would be detrimental to his status.

At the foot of the mountain is an antique town with wooden attic-style buildings dotted all over the trails, criss-crossing among small bridges and flowing water.

Except for the locals who opened the door to do business and yelled hard, the tourists who come and go are basically independent tourists.

There was a drizzle on the way here, and the green hills in the distance were washed green and bright.

Viewed from the foot of the mountain, misty and misty, like a giant painting paved all the way from the top of the mountain to the bluestone path in the town, whether it is the quiet green hills or the lively streets, are all covered by misty rain. into the painting.

I called the client, and the other party said that they would come to pick them up the mountain as soon as possible.

Duan Huichuan and Bai Jian bought two bowls of local specialty snacks on the side of the street while waiting for others. The round lotus root-colored meatballs were soaked in marinade, and they were crispy, delicious and not greasy. Almost swallowed his tongue.

"Boss, are there any scenic spots on the nearby mountains?" Bai Jian didn't want to eat it all at once, and slowly swallowed a ball with enjoyment, then raised her head and chatted with a fruit vendor by the roadside.

"A scenic spot on the mountain? Are you talking about the Fox Immortal Temple?" The boss was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Are you here for sightseeing? Don't go up the mountain!"

"Why?" Bai Jian's curiosity was aroused, and even Duan Huichuan took a small wooden stick and slipped a ball into his bowl quietly, and ate it himself, without knowing it.

The boss frowned, and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being overheard:

"Let me tell you, it is said that there are fox demons haunting that mountain at night, and they are specially seducing young lads. You can't go there! Many young people who don't believe in evil ran up the mountain, and came down the mountain as if nothing had happened, bragging about the fox fairy temple everywhere. Inviting people to play, in fact, I have already been fascinated by the fox demon and sucked up the yang energy! I still don’t know it!”

"Oh? There are such rumors. It's interesting."

Duan Huichuan took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth, a circle of light smoke puffed out of his mouth, and slowly dissipated into the air. He watched Bai Jian bury her head in the last meatball, feeling very regretful in his heart. Put out the cigarette butt and throw it in the trash can.

At this time, a string of meatballs dipped in sauce was handed to him, and the rich aroma rushed straight into his nose. Duan Huichuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he raised his head, he met Yan Yijun's smiling eyes. His dark glass-like eyes filled his figure vividly and brightly.

"Doctor Yan, why are you here?" Duan Huichuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You said you went to the beach for vacation, could it be..."

"Yeah, I came out to relax and didn't want to go too far, so I chose this place." Yan Yijun nodded with a smile, "This is a famous snack nearby, and it tastes good, do you want to try it?"

"Then... I'll try something new." Duan Huichuan wanted to be polite, but the other party moved the meatball skewers closer to him, so Duan Huichuan took advantage of his hand and bit off one, half of it. Cheeks puffed up, and he accepted the food without any psychological burden.

"how?"

"It's not bad." Duan Huichuan pretended to be authentic, "It's okay to taste, but if you eat too much, you will get bored."

Bai Jian leaned over and said strangely: "Boss, didn't you just eat a bowl?"

"...You, shut up the mic!" Duan Huichuan gave him a hard look, almost poking his nose with his finger.

Bai Jian shrank back aggrievedly: "Oh."

Yan Yijun glanced back and forth with a half-smile, but didn't tear it apart, just handed over the remaining meat skewers, saying: "I accidentally bought too much, if I can't eat it, it will be a waste."

Before Duan Huichuan could speak, Bai Jian volunteered to take the lead: "The boss is tired of eating, let me help you!"

"...I thank you." Duan Huichuan looked at him speechlessly.

Yan Yijun seemed to have expected this to happen a long time ago, and gave them each a bunch like a magic trick, so the two, like little ghosts after being comforted by a kindergarten teacher, gnawed on their share contentedly.

Bai Jian's cheeks bulged like a hamster, a layer of sweat leaked from her nose, and she blew hot air, frowning and muttering: "Why do you think this string is so spicy..."

"Shut up, you!"

Padding the belly, the client also hurriedly arrived.

The other party was a slender middle-aged man, with white hair vaguely intermingled on both sides of his flat head. His facial features could vaguely reveal the heroic spirit of his youth, but the black and sagging skin under his eyes were traces of years, making him look older than his actual age. a bit.

He glanced at the faces of the three young people one by one, but these three faces were too young for this industry. He couldn't help but feel disappointed, and he forced himself to introduce himself: "Everyone has come a long way and you have worked hard. My surname is Ling, who is Mr. Duan?"

"I am." Duan Huichuan stretched out his hand and shook him, "What kind of trouble did Boss Ling encounter? It's getting late, let's talk as we walk, and solve it early to avoid driving at night."

Boss Ling frowned secretly when he heard his understatement and inconsiderate tone, and his mouth was bitter. He was afraid that he would meet another wandering warlock who only sticks talismans and blows his mind.

These days, it's not good to do something down-to-earth at a young age, but to do some deceitful activities. It's okay to deceive those ignorant old women. Do you think he is so easy to deceive?

Alas, I hurriedly dismissed the matter in a while... I just don't know what happened to the young guests on the mountain.

"Boss Ling, Boss Ling?"

Duan Huichuan called a few times, and finally pulled him back from his distraction. Boss Ling smiled awkwardly, and began to introduce a problem he encountered recently.

It turned out that Boss Ling bought a mountain villa many years ago, and later transformed it into a bed and breakfast inn. At first, everything was fine, but gradually, many strange things happened one after another.

Most of the tourists who come here are for the beach and the ancient town. There are not many scenic spots on the mountain, and there are even fewer inns. A few years ago, they began to move away one after another. Coupled with the prosperity of the Fox Immortal Temple, the number of customers gradually increased, and the business became better and better.

"Isn't that good?" Bai Jian asked strangely.

"This is a good thing, but it's also the fault here." Boss Ling shook his head with a wry smile, "Almost all the guests staying in the hotel are young men, and they seldom go to the mountains to play after staying here. Fox Immortal Temple, and then stayed in the inn all day, and ignored the introduction of nearby attractions. That’s all, it’s quite peaceful during the day, but at night, I can always hear strange sounds, that kind of... um It's a very sweet voice...you understand...but I searched the entire inn and couldn't find where it came from, and the guests didn't respond either."

Bai Jian stared blankly at their strange expressions, and almost wrote something unknown on her forehead: "What is Xiangyan's voice?"

Duan Huichuan patted the top of his head: "Don't interrupt."

Boss Ling continued: "What's even more weird is that the next morning after such a sound occurs, some guests will be found lying naked outside and lethargic. I went, and said that I was just sleeping in the room. Tell me, is there a ghost or a monster? Maybe it is the fox demon in the fox fairy temple!"

Bai Jian hesitated to speak, looked at the boss's face, and swallowed the words again.

"Fox demon?" Duan Huichuan looked at Boss Ling with ambiguous eyes, and asked meaningfully: "Boss, have you..."

"No, no, absolutely not!" Boss Ling blushed and waved his hands in embarrassment, "I'm already old, so how can I be more masculine than those young people! Besides, I'm a man with a wife!"

Yan Yijun followed them all the way, just smiled quietly at the side without saying a word, Duan Huichuan bumped his arm, and joked with great interest: "Didn't Doctor Yan come to the beach for vacation? Go up the mountain with us, and you won't be afraid of being caught." That fox demon catches her in the bridal chamber?"

"I've never seen such a rare thing as a fox demon in my life, and I'm quite curious. What's more..." Yan Yijun paused slightly, gently smoothed the folds of the hem of his clothes, and narrowed his eyes with two shallow smile lines, " What's more, with Master Duan by my side, even if I was captured by that goblin and sent to the bridal chamber, wouldn't you come to snatch the marriage?"

Duan Huichuan: "..."

Boss Ling looked at the two of them with a complex look like someone who had just come by, and couldn't help but move away.

Duan Huichuan felt as if his heart was being gently scratched by a certain paw. He coughed lightly, and subtly turned his eyes away, and the topic that was about to go off track was brought back on track again:

"Boss Ling, since similar weird things have happened many times, aren't those guests afraid? Why are there still people going up the mountain?"

Boss Ling said helplessly: "I'm also wondering, except for the embarrassment of being naked in the morning, those guests didn't seem to be injured or abnormal. For several days, when I finally went down the mountain, I was still reluctant to part. Therefore, although strange things kept happening, there was an endless stream of guests, and some even came here because of the name, wanting to experience the feeling of spending the spring evening with the fox demon!"

"Hehe." Duan Huichuan laughed a few times, and joked, "Boss Ling's business is booming, no one complains, and the customers are fine, why don't you turn a blind eye and close your eyes, and make a fortune in silence?"

"How can I do that!" Boss Ling said angrily, "Humans and monsters have different ways! Nothing happened now, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. I'm just an inn owner, and I don't want to mix with goblins on the same boat! One day the fox demon will show his animalistic behavior, what will he do if he attacks me!"

Besides, he is a middle-aged man who spends the whole night listening to someone in a corner, and his wife is not by his side, how uncomfortable it is.It is inconvenient to say this.

"Pfft..." Bai Jian couldn't help laughing, "I don't think so, you look quite safe."

"How do you talk, kid!"

Yan Yijun smiled and asked: "Since you are worried about this, why not move out like other inns?"

Boss Ling scratched his hair embarrassingly: "It's not impossible, the whole family depends on this inn for support. No, I have to invite everyone to help drive away ghosts and demons. I am a small business, and I can't save a few dollars a year. Money, so the remuneration is a bit low, but since you are here, you are giving me some face, if you change your mind and want to go back home, I will not blame you."

Duan Huichuan solemnly assured: "Boss Ling, don't worry, being entrusted with loyalty is the consistent principle of our firm. Since I accept your entrustment, I will definitely complete it."

Boss Ling nodded his head appreciatively, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that he heard the rumors about the fox demon and was eager to try it?These young people are really unreliable!

Duan Huichuan's small broken car was parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and a group of people followed Boss Ling up the mountain in the car.The mountain road is winding and bumpy. I don’t know how many birds are hiding in the gaps between the lush vegetation beside the road. The flying mountain wind sends a few crisp calls.

"In the inn, are there any passengers now?"

Boss Ling sighed and said, "Why not? Yesterday, several guests came to stay at the store. I saw that they were all dressed up in fashion, drove expensive cars, and spent a lot of money. I don't know where they come from. Don't go." Staying in a five-star hotel, and coming to my humble B&B, it’s probably because of rumors about fox demons. Alas, these young people don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth, so I persuade them to go down the mountain early, and they don’t believe in evil. I’m here today In order to wait for you, I left the inn last night. I don’t know if there was any problem last night. In this mountain, the mobile phone signal is not very good..."

"You weren't at the inn last night?" Duan Huichuan frowned and interrupted the other person's rambling, a hint of ominous premonition popped up. In many cases, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it will happen , "Are you often not at the inn?"

"No, I just occasionally choose to go down the mountain to buy when there are no customers. Isn't today's situation special?"

Yan Yijun looked at Duan Huichuan and tapped his forehead with his fingers, and said calmly: "It seems that we need to speed up."

The car was parked in front of a lawn with only single-digit parking spaces. Due to neglect, weeds spread sparsely into the fence, and two luxury sports cars, one red and one white, squeezed out of place.

The path made of bluestone slabs meanders to a courtyard surrounded by low walls. The low walls are full of hibiscus trees. There is a blue-tiled cornice with red paper lanterns hanging on one corner.

Several people walked all the way to the courtyard, and a two-story quaint inn appeared in front of everyone.

The plaque on the door is written with several big characters of Xianyuan Inn. The courtyard draws a clear spring from the mountain, and the pond and rockery are built with jagged bluestones. In the meantime, a few circles of ripples are dotted on the calm pool surface.

"This is indeed a good place for vacation, clean and elegant." Yan Yijun looked at the layout of the inn carefully, and praised with a smile, "It seems that Boss Ling is also a person full of life style."

"Oh, these are all arranged by my wife." Boss Ling responded modestly, looking very helpful, "Come in and have a cup of tea."

The furnishings in the living room are plain and simple, with almost no luxurious decorations. There are several sets of rough wooden tables and chairs in the center, the back door is connected to the kitchen, and there is a mahogany Eight Immortals table in the tea room.Perhaps it is cold in the mountains, and there is no air conditioner, only a ceiling fan on the roof.

"The proprietress doesn't live with you?" Duan Huichuan looked around, gently stroking the red-painted nanmu pillars with his fingers, not intending to sit down and drink tea, "Where are the guests in the shop?"

"My daughter-in-law is in the country. I come here once a month. She is so beautiful. I can't bear to let her show my face outside." Speaking of his wife, Boss Ling smiled shyly, poured tea for them, and went upstairs. Let's go, "The guests should rest in the house at this time. It's almost time for dinner, I'll call them."

It was the first time for Bai Jian to experience such an ancient inn, and she found it quite novel. She fumbled here and there, and then went to the pond to watch the koi after a while.

Yan Yijun and Duan Huichuan looked at each other, and they both read suspicion and vigilance from their respective eyes.

"Do you feel—"

"It's as quiet as an abandoned house."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The tacit understanding in such details was both surprising and not so surprising.

A burst of hurried footsteps stepped on the old wooden stairs, making a series of heavy creaking sounds, accompanied by the innkeeper's panic-stricken shout: "It's bad! Those guests are gone!"

Duan Huichuan frowned slightly, and asked calmly, "How do you know they didn't go to the mountains to play?"

"No! Their cars are still parked outside, and their mobile phones and wallets are not in the room!"

Duan Huichuan nodded, and asked again: "Is the Fox Immortal Temple far from here?"

"If you walk, half an hour!"

This is a restaurant that only appears in film and television dramas, ancient books and men's dreams.

Glazed blue tiles, flying eaves like wings, carved beams and painted buildings in the building, eighteen pillars painted with red paint, and luxurious gold foil cut patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish, coiled on the pillars like branches and tendrils.

A luminous pearl is inlaid on the wall ten steps, which illuminates the room as bright as day, and complements the flickering candlelight.

The dim light illuminated the cross-necked mandarin ducks embroidered on the light gauze curtain, and the mandarin ducks rubbed against the ears and temples of the red gauze curtain as the breeze rose and fell.

The charming scent of rouge and the intoxicating smell of wine came out from the curtain, entangled in one place and indistinguishable from each other.

One side is covered with colorful embroidered small tables, filled with vintage wines and delicacies, and the beautiful maidservant serving on the side is eagerly adding wine to the cups, her thin clothes and shoulders are half exposed, and she is about to pour the wine glasses into the mouths of the guests. Side delivery.

Even if Fang Jun covered his ears, he couldn't resist the ambiguous gasps and coquettish smiles from all directions.

If he had known earlier that he would fall into such a gentle village where he couldn't get out, he wouldn't have listened to the foolishness of a few cronies, and after he had run into a wall with Tang Jinjin and lost all his patience, he would come here on a whim. "One night spring festival" in this fox fairy temple!

A gold-plated incense burner with four dragons holding pearls emitted incense from the dragon's mouth. The smell was so sweet that Fang Jun coughed from choking, and slapped his nose in disgust.

The buddies who were traveling with him each embraced one or two fair-skinned and beautiful young women, and they didn't know where they went to be happy.

"Congratulations, Master Hu Immortal is here! Please come along with this little maid."

Fang Jun raised his head while thinking, squinted his eyes at the beautiful and enchanting woman, and saw two pointed and long ears poking out from between his temples. His heart trembled, and he said coldly, "If I don't want to Where are you going?"

The woman giggled, "That's up to you~"

Fang Jun's heart froze, but it was just a dream, what else could be done to him?

He subconsciously held the abnormally warm Guanyin jade, and in the phantoms around him, it seemed that it was the only thing that made him feel real and safe.

Fang Jun closed his eyes and muttered in his mouth: "Prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, free and equal..."

The author has something to say:

Fox: What spell is this?I actually felt that my soul was being purified!
