Chapter 2907: Bank Boss, Ghost Play Incident

The fifteenth day of July was called the "Hungry Ghost Festival" in ancient times and the "Ghost Festival" among the people. The "Hungry Ghost Festival" originated from the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, a few days before July 15th, the imperial court ordered all streets in the capital to offer sacrifices to the fallen soldiers. Money mountains were burned on the roads. Taoist priests were invited to build monasteries and clear away ghosts to clean the streets. People Because of this, it has become a folk custom to follow the example of worshiping ancestors.

A few days before the Ghost Festival, Ming Kui shop began to sell boots, skirts, and robes with jade belts, all made of paper. On the night of the 14th, people bought a few pieces of silk leaf paper and spread them on the altar table, with grains and cereals placed on the table, in the hope that the ancestors would have a good harvest. At dawn on the 15th, they carried burdens and went from house to house selling "fake rice", hoping that there would be a good harvest.

The Ghost Festival has been passed down to now and has become a festival for ghosts. It is a day for ghosts to gather and dance happily. It is not suitable for civil affairs. In ancient times, officials did not disturb the people on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and bandits did not rob people. Moreover, these days were the seasons of no harvest and no planting. , people seldom go out to avoid collision with ghosts.

On July 15th, the underworld will open the gates of hell, and ghost messengers will escort the lonely ghosts to the human world to receive alms. Moreover, this day is also the day to burn ghost papers. These ghost papers cannot be printed by just anyone. The underworld hired people from the underworld to serve as bank executives and print underworld paper, which could only become common currency in the underworld.

Lin Fengjiao was one of the top managers of the Underworld Bank. For July 15th, she spent almost all her savings on printing a large number of ghost papers.

Qiu Sheng brushed the ink on the template, laid it on white paper, and pressed it lightly, and the five thousand taels of paper were printed. Qiu Sheng cut the printed paper, picked it up, looked at it for a while, and looked at it. Lin Fengjiao asked from the side.

"Master, last year we printed 4,000 taels of ghost paper, why did it become 5,000 taels a piece this year?!"

"Five thousand taels, if you give it to me, I'll be rich!"

"Then take it, you're welcome!"

Lin Fengjiao glanced at her disciple angrily and said impatiently.

"Now that prices are rising, everything you buy in the world has to cost extra, and it will naturally be the same down there. Of course, it will have to be printed with a larger face value!"

"Senior brother, these words are quite ghostly, and you also know about inflation!"

Zhang Yunqing sat aside and looked at Lin Fengjiao, who was writing a notice, looking very dashing and elegant.

"This is certified by the signature of the authorized sealer. Use this to identify the forgery. If there is any forgery, you will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell and will never be reincarnated. Take this as a warning and as a warning to others. Lin Fengjiao is the seal bearer in the mortal world!"

These printed underworld papers need Lin Fengjiao's signature to become the currency of the underworld, otherwise they are useless waste paper and cannot be circulated.

Lin Fengjiao also relied on the blessing of Maoshan Patriarch to become a bank manager in the underworld. Don't look at the fact that Lin Fengjiao would go bankrupt every year just to print ghost paper. However, this is a good job that many Taoist priests can't grab. It can accumulate virtuous virtue and help her die in the future. , or you can become a shady agent in the underworld and seek a good position.

"Qiu Sheng, take the 7749 Guild paper as a sample and burn it with this notice for the following!"

Lin Fengjiao put down the brush, looked up at Qiu Sheng who was printing the paper, and gave him instructions.

"I understand, Master!"

Qiu Sheng counted forty-nine pieces of paper, walked up to Lin Fengjiao, looked at the names on the notice, and immediately laughed out loud, joking to his master.

"So Master, your name is not Lin Jiu, your real name is Lin Fengjiao!"

"This name is quite nice, Gillian, Gillian!"

Qiu Sheng obviously didn't notice that Lin Fengjiao's face turned extremely gloomy, and he still teased the master recklessly.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fengjiao couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Qiu Sheng on the head, saying angrily.

"I'm warning you not to leak my name. If anyone finds out, I'll just ask!"

"Oh, Master, I know!"

Qiu Sheng grinned, covered his head, reluctantly responded, picked up the notice and the paper, walked out, and burned them.

Lin Fengjiao looked around and saw no other disciple, so she asked Qiu Sheng curiously.

"I haven't seen the talented person all night, where did he go?"

"Wencai knows that he is short, so he went to grab a seat to watch the show first!"

Qiu Sheng walked in and answered the master casually.

"What's your position? Tonight's play is for ghosts. He will really cause trouble for me!"

Lin Fengjiao was shocked when she heard this, then showed a worried expression and walked out quickly.

Zhang Yunqing also stood up after hearing this, shook his head, and felt helpless towards Wencai, a troublemaker.

Not far away, on the stage, the big play started. It was very lively with people coming and going, but the audience was empty. Wen Cai was holding a sugar cane in his hand. He was eating deliciously. He spit out the residue in his mouth and looked around. , said speechlessly.

"The show is about to begin, but no one is here. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken up my seat!"

Wen Cai was completely unaware that the air around him was extremely cold and the cold wind was blowing. He was really a foolish and bold person. Such a person was suitable for guarding Yizhuang.

Behind the stage, Zhang Yunqing, Lin Fengjiao, and Qiu Sheng secretly looked toward the front of the stage. Qiu Sheng glanced at Wencai and said.

"Master, how happy you are to see Wen Cai alone there! You also said that this play was for ghosts, and you lied to ghosts! There is not even a ghost!"

Lin Fengjiao rolled her eyes with great disgust, stretched out her hand and touched Qiu Sheng's eyes and said.

"If you don't open your eyes, you can't see ghosts!"

"You will see clearly now if you look at the audience!"

Qiu Sheng half believed and half doubted, and looked up again, only to see that the stage was full of lonely ghosts, with pale faces and black lips, all of whom were obsessed with the show on the stage.

Behind these ghosts stood four ghost messengers, two black and two white, holding soul-catching instruments in their hands, waiting for these lonely ghosts to finish watching the show, and then escorting them to the underworld.

"Oh no, a female ghost has taken a fancy to Wencai!"

Lin Fengjiao looked at an ugly female ghost with an obsessed look, drooling from the corners of her mouth, constantly caressing Wencai, and a worried look on her face.

"Qiu Sheng, give me your hand!"

Lin Fengjiao took out a red rope from her bosom, tied it around Qiu Sheng's wrist, and told him.

"Go in and bring Wencai out. If the show ends soon, and he goes to hell, even I can't save him!"

"Master, you are so advanced, why don't you go in? Let me go. Can I not go?!"

Qiu Sheng showed a bit of fear on his face. There were so many ghosts there. He was worried that he would be eaten by these lonely ghosts and didn't want to go in.

"Of course not!"

"It's because your junior uncle and I are too advanced, so we can't go in. Otherwise, once we go in, we will scare all these lonely ghosts away, and then it will be troublesome!"

"Don't talk too much, go in quickly!"

Qiu Sheng suddenly realized and walked to the stage reluctantly.

At this moment, a female ghost fell from the sky and landed beside Wencai. She glared at the ugly female ghost who was touching him. The ugly female ghost immediately showed a scared expression and retreated obediently.

The female ghost then walked to Wencai's side and blew gently at him to help him open his eyes.

Wencai was stunned for a moment, looking at the ghosts around him, and said in a strange way.

"Hey, when did so many people come?"

"I was so engrossed in watching the show that it's normal that you didn't know someone was coming!"

The ghost girl's face was full of bright smiles, and she made up an excuse to fool Wencai.

Lin Fengjiao tied the red rope and reminded Qiu Sheng of the taboos.

"Qiu Sheng, you must remember that ghosts will not offend people unless people offend ghosts. You must pretend that you can't see or hear them, and they will ignore you. I will use the red rope to lead you out. Don't break the red rope!"

Qiu Sheng walked to Wencai's side with courage, pretending that he couldn't see the ghosts around him, and said to Wencai.

"Wencai, Master is looking for you, come out with me!"

Wencai was chatting happily with the ghost girl, and he looked at Qiu Sheng and said quickly.

"Brother, this is Xiaoli, isn't she hot?"

Qiu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the ghost girl Xiaoli, and then pretended not to see it and said.

"Why can't I see it?"

Xiao Li smiled a little. She saw through Qiu Sheng's pretense and threw a wink at him, which immediately fascinated Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng's eyes were straight, staring at Xiao Li, and he kept complimenting the ghost girl.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you!"

Lin Fengjiao looked at this scene and felt bad. Qiu Sheng had a criminal record. He couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful ghost girl. Just when she was about to pull the red rope to pull Qiu Sheng back, she saw Qiu Sheng took the initiative to untie the red rope on his wrist under the confusion of the ghost girl, and completely forgot Lin Fengjiao's instructions.

"Brother, get ready, there will be trouble!"

Zhang Yunqing shook his head and sighed. What kind of people are Qiu Sheng and Wencai? They are troublemakers. They can't walk when they see women. Now they are confused by the ghost girl Xiao Li, and there will be trouble.

"Xiao Li, are you here to watch the show too?"

"No, I came here to seek refuge. A bad guy wanted to force me to be his concubine. I didn't agree, so he sent someone to catch me!"

The female ghost Xiao Li looked so pitiful that she bewitched Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng. The two of them were angry and took the initiative to help.

"Who is it? We are here to help you!"

"It's the four behind. They know evil magic. You are no match for them!"

"It doesn't matter. We also know Maoshan Taoism, which is just right for dealing with evil magic!"

"Xiao Li, wait a moment, we will help you subdue those four people!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai walked to the ghost messenger behind the ghost group. The four ghost messengers saw that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were Maoshan disciples and were not prepared. They were fixed by Qiu Sheng with the soul-suppressing talisman and fell to the ground immediately.

"The ghost messenger has been subdued. Everyone run!"

In an instant, these lonely ghosts were in chaos and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunqing and Lin Fengjiao jumped out and used Taoist magic to intercept them, but it was too late. They only caught half of the ghosts, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Inside the charity cemetery, four ghost officers looked at Lin Fengjiao with anger and said.

"Lin Fengjiao, your disciple has caused a big disaster and let the ghosts go, so we can't go back to report. You must give us an explanation!"

Lin Fengjiao's face was extremely gloomy. Qiu Sheng and Wencai had caused such a big mess this time. If he couldn't catch these ghosts, the little bit of Yin De he had accumulated would be tossed away. He would probably fall into the eighteen levels of hell when he entered the underworld in the future.

"Several ghost officers, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter. I will catch all the ghosts as soon as possible and won't let the world be haunted!"

"As soon as possible is when? We can't wait. If the higher-ups ask about it, we will be in trouble!"

When Lin Fengjiao heard this, she immediately understood the meaning of Yin Chai. She took out a stack of ghost papers from her arms and said with a smile on her face.

"It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful. I asked some of the ghost masters to give me three days to delay it!"

Money can make the world go round. The underworld agents accepted Lin Fengjiao's filial piety and said with serious expressions.

"Three days at most. If you can't catch all these ghosts by then, don't blame us for being unkind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four underworld servants got into the ground, returned to the underworld, and disappeared.

"Hey, senior brother, you should also discipline Wencai and Qiu Sheng, otherwise all the virtue you accumulated by slaying demons and slaying demons will be used up by them!"

"I know, I will discipline them strictly in the future! Let's find a way to clean up this mess now!"

Lin Fengjiao sighed. He had watched Wencai and Qiu Sheng grow up since childhood. They had a deep love between master and disciple, so he couldn't say much.

"I'm going to cast a spell to summon my fellow disciples to come to Renjia Town and help me catch all the ghosts!"

"For today's plan, this is the only way!"

Zhang Yunqing shook his head gently. When such a big thing happened, he really needed to summon his fellow disciples. If these lonely ghosts could not be captured, their whole lineage would be implicated. He didn't care. He had already cultivated into Yang Shen and achieved success. Although he holds the position of Heavenly Master, other brothers will still enter the underworld in the future.

Lin Fengjiao set up the altar and performed Taoist magic. Tai Chi and Bagua diagrams flew into the air, and the sound was transmitted thousands of miles away, and she spoke.

"As urgent as the law is, I ask all my fellow disciples to come and help!"

Streams of light cut through the void and flew towards the positions of the Taoist priests in Maoshan.

In the afternoon of the next day, all the brothers from Maoshan had arrived. Only Aunt Zhue had something to do and could not come. As a senior brother, Shi Jian naturally had to be the last to appear.

"That's what happened. Wencai and Qiu Sheng caused a big disaster and let go of the ghosts in the underworld. If they can't catch them all within three days, I can't explain it to the underworld, so I can only call on all the brothers to help. "

Taoist priest Qianhe had an upright character, frowned and said displeasedly.

"Senior brother, you are too indulging in your disciples. If you cause such a mess, if one of them is not handled properly, our lineage will be implicated!"

"I understand that the responsibility for this matter lies with me, but there are so many ghosts. I can't catch them all by myself. I still need the help of all my junior brothers. I want to set up the innate Bagua array to catch all the ghosts."

Lin Fengjiao looked apologetic and said quickly with an extremely sincere attitude.

"Senior Brother Shi hasn't come yet, let's wait until Senior Brother Shi arrives!"

Taoist Qianhe couldn't say anything more. Shi Jian was the real person in charge, and he still needed to handle this matter.

"Wow, there are so many people waiting for him, who is he?"

Qiu Sheng still didn't realize his mistake and asked Priest Qianhe arrogantly.

"Yes, who is he?"

Wen Cai echoed from the side, not knowing how to respect teachers and not having any rules.

"Shut up, senior brother Shi Jian is our senior brother, your senior uncle, how can you be disrespectful!"

Lin Fengjiao's face darkened and she yelled at the two disciples.

"Master uncle!"

At this moment, Shi Jian arrived, and the Maoshan disciples greeted him respectfully. Shi Jian walked in with a serious expression, followed by Shi Shaojian.

Everyone stood up one after another and saluted him. Shi Jian was not polite. He was very arrogant. He just nodded slightly and sat directly on the main seat. He looked at Lin Fengjiao standing in the middle and asked.

"Who did this?!"

"It's my two useless disciples!"

Lin Fengjiao looked ashamed and stepped forward to explain.

"Humph, what does it mean to be unqualified!"

Shi Jian interrupted Lin Fengjiao's words with an arrogant attitude, looked at him with sharp eyes, and spoke again.

Shi Shaojian stood next to Shi Jian. Hearing this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face and he said sarcastically.

"Master, being unqualified means that they are either stupid or stupid, or else they are idiots!"

"you!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were furious after hearing this. They took a step forward to cause trouble for Shi Shaojian. Lin Fengjiao quickly reached out to stop them and said to Shi Jian.

"Senior brother, it was their carelessness that caused such trouble!"

"The disciples are incompetent, so can they shirk responsibility just because they were careless?"

"You invited me here today, do you want me to help you clean up this mess?"

Shi Jian had a dissatisfied look on his face, and there was a faint electric light shining in his eyes. He stared at Lin Fengjiao and accused him.

"Brother, we have already discussed it and are preparing to use the innate Bagua card to subdue these ghosts!"

Lin Fengjiao shook her head quickly and spoke out the plan she had just discussed with her fellow juniors.

When Shi Jian heard this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, he glanced left and right, and said dissatisfiedly with a gloomy face.

"Since you have already discussed everything, why do you still invite me?"

"This matter still needs to be presided over by senior brother!"

Why couldn't Lin Fengjiao hear Shi Jian's dissatisfaction? She quickly bowed and saluted, took the initiative to show weakness, and asked Shi Jian.

Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said.

"The Innate Bagua Array, let's just say the Innate Bagua Array, but someone needs to introduce these ghosts into the array. Who should do this?"

Shi Jian looked at Lin Fengjiao with a half-smile, and glanced at Qiu Sheng and Wencai. His meaning was very clear. He wanted these two people to do this dangerous thing.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. The trouble they caused should be done by them!"

Lin Fengjiao did not shirk her responsibility and prepared to let Qiu Sheng and Wencai complete this dangerous task.

At midnight, Qiu Sheng and Wencai carried their burdens, looked around, walked in the town, and shouted.

"Stinky tofu!"

Ghosts like smelly things, and have a special liking for stinky tofu. Moreover, these stinky tofu are added with red beans. There are beans in beans. Ghosts will tremble all over after eating them, making it easier to be caught.

Qiu Sheng and Wencai did not mess things up, and successfully led the lonely ghosts into the Xiantian Bagua formation.

Everyone immediately showed up, showing their magical powers, and captured all the ghosts. Only Shi Jian was extremely violent, and used the Lightning Thunder Fist to beat many ghosts to death. His move was extremely vicious, which made Zhang Yunqing frown.

"Big Brother, these are all ghosts, you are going too far by using the Lightning Thunder Fist!"
