Chapter 14 Feng Shui Bureau
Chapter 14 Feng Shui Bureau
Ye Tang didn't go directly to the hotel with Li Xuan and wait for the phone call, but drove home first to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
Before dinner, Ye Tang went to a Cantonese restaurant to pack a few light meals and mentioned Li Xuan's hotel room. The moment he knocked on the door, he felt as if he was secretly taking care of his girlfriend. He quickly shook his head and forgot about this terrible thought.
At this moment, the door was opened, and it happened that Li Xuan had just finished taking a shower. He was standing in the doorway wearing a white undershirt with his wet hair hanging loose. The water droplets on the ends of his hair fell on his shoulders, and the outline of his body could be vaguely seen from the wet white clothes. .
In the past, Ye Tang always thought that a man with long hair was a girlish expression, but seeing Li Xuan's loose hair was very pleasing to the eye, the soft black hair matched with his indifferent eyebrows did not look very feminine, on the contrary, it added a bit of haze feel.
Ye Tang thought that maybe a cultivator like Li Xuan would make people feel very harmonious and comfortable in whatever he dressed up, just like the yin and yang poles of Tai Chi, different yet similar.
"I bought dinner, so you don't have to go out to eat." Ye Tang went straight in and put the food on the coffee table in the hotel.
"I don't need to eat." Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Ye Tang seemed particularly obsessed with playing against Li Xuan, even though Li Xuan had already emphasized in the morning that he didn't need to eat bigu, Ye Tang still bought dinner.Li Xuan didn't bother to explain to him because he knew he wouldn't listen.
"You always have to dry your hair if you don't eat, right?" Ye Tang saw that his hair was not dry at all and was still dripping, so he went to the bathroom and took a dry towel and handed it to Li Xuan, saying, "I didn't leave it too long. But my mother would blow dry her hair every time she washed it, and she said that sleeping with wet hair would cause migraines and palace cold.”
"I don't get headaches and men don't... Alas..." Li Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Ye Tang helplessly. He found that it was difficult for him to concentrate on cultivation under Ye Tang's mindless harassment. He willingly took the towel and dried his hair.
Ye Tang sat on the sofa and tasted every dish on the coffee table with chopsticks, then opened a can of beer and held it up and said, "Daozhang Li, come over and have dinner together! I'm so bored drinking alone."
After drinking and eating, Ye Tang turned off the light and fell asleep on the sofa.
After an unknown period of time, the phone on the coffee table vibrated suddenly, and Ye Tang jumped up from the sofa to pick up the phone, and as soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard Boss Gao's voice coming from the phone: "Help, come and save me! I am in the office!"
Li Xuan quickly tidied up his hair and clothes, carried a long sword on his back and opened the door behind him, saying, "Let's go, let's meet that big rat."
Ye Tang nodded and hurriedly followed. The two hurried to Jin Huibang's company in the dark. In the corridor, they heard Boss Gao's screams coming from the general manager's office.
Li Xuan lifted his foot and kicked open the office door, and saw Boss Gao lying on the ground with his hands clasped tightly, half of his body hidden under the desk.
"Help, help, Daoist...something is pulling me into the table...help me quickly...I'll add money to you, and I'll give you whatever you want!" He pulled into the table, while speaking, his body was still slowly sinking into the dark space under the table, and only his shoulders were exposed outside the table.
Li Xuan took out a talisman and pasted it on the desk, crossed his hands and chanted a mantra, the talisman suddenly shook violently, and even the entire desk began to shake.
"It seems that one can't be suppressed." Li Xuan said lightly, so he took out two more talisman papers from his sleeve and pasted them on other places of the desk respectively. The table that was shaking violently then gradually calmed down.
"Huh? It seems that there is nothing pulling me anymore."
Boss Gao moved his legs and hurriedly got up from under the desk, grabbed Li Xuan's hand and said, "I beg you, Daoist Li, please, I will double the price for you, and you help me deal with these messy things." If this continues, my life will be gone, I just stayed in the office alone and worked overtime, and this kind of thing happened, I dare not stay in this office in the future."
Li Xuan didn't directly answer whether he would help or not. He knocked on Boss Gao's desk with his hand, then bent down to look carefully at the bottom of the desk.
Ye Tang leaned over curiously and also got under the table: "Daozhang Li, did you find anything?"
Both of them had their upper bodies buried in the desk and had to get very close. Ye Tang's warm breath fell on the base of his ears. Li Xuan quickly leaned to the side and pointed to the wooden board on the inner wall of the desk and said, "It is engraved on it. It's a curse, and if I'm not mistaken, this desk should be made of coffin boards."
Hearing this, Ye Tang quickly left the table and hid by the door like Boss Gao.
"Quickly tell me, what kind of immoral thing are you doing, someone is so deliberately plotting to harm you." Ye Tang asked Boss Gao with his hands on his hips.
"I really don't, I swear to God, I just go out occasionally to find a lady or find an opportunity to deduct some employees' wages..." Boss Gao said more and more quietly: "It's just that this mistake won't hurt me."
"Use a coffin board as a table and engrave a curse on it. At night, this table will become the gate to the underworld."
Li Xuan came over and said to Boss Gao: "It seems that the person you offended has some background and is also a knowledgeable person. Ordinary people can't make this kind of thing."
"Think about it again, have you offended any Taoist?" Ye Tang asked.
Li Xuan added: "Taoist priests are not the only ones who know how to pass through ghosts. Monks, horse celestial beings, witches, feng shui masters, and wizards are all possible. Have you never met them?"
Boss Gao pulled his hair and thought for a while before he said with certainty: "Really not!" After a while, he suddenly exclaimed: "Didn't that ghost eat my desk a few days ago, so I only gave the money Ask Yongzi to help me rebuild a mahogany table. It must be Yongzi's mess!"
"You mean the big brother with the flower arm?" Ye Tang rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "But why did he want to harm you?"
"That's right, there is no reason. I treat him kindly, train him as a right-hand man, and usually give him Chinese cigarettes."
Boss Gao couldn't figure it out himself, so he took out his mobile phone and called Yongzi, but there was no answer on the other end of the phone.
Ye Tang said: "Maybe he knew he was exposed, so he hid himself and refused to answer your calls."
"The bastard dares to hurt me, and he still doesn't answer my phone... He won't even think about taking a penny of this month's salary." Boss Gao cursed for a long time, and didn't shut up until Li Xuan turned his head and gave him a look.
"Don't jump to conclusions too early, you still have to find someone to ask. Maybe he just fell asleep, and we'll talk about it when he comes to work tomorrow morning." After speaking, Li Xuan walked out of the office and planned to go back to the hotel.
Boss Gao quickly stopped him: "Then what about this desk?"
"There's nothing wrong with my talisman, you go home early, and ask someone to drag the table to the cemetery and burn it tomorrow." Li Xuan didn't turn his head back into the elevator.
Boss Gao smiled, rubbed his hands and said to Ye Tang, "Did Daoist Li agree to take my business?"
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't say hello and left alone, Ye Tang felt inexplicably angry that he was being ignored: "You ask me how I know, I don't know him very well."
"Aren't you Daochang Li's assistant?" Boss Gao asked.
"He didn't take me seriously." Ye Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking how could he be so crazy that he insisted on following Li Xuan to join in the fun, maybe Li Daochang thought he was in the way and troublesome, but he was just embarrassed to say it .
Ye Tang walked out of the office building and looked at the hotel across the road.
"What the hell am I doing..." Ye Tang hammered his head and said to himself, "It must be that the disbandment of the group was too much of a blow, and even my brain started to go wrong." Talking boredly, he crossed the road Wander downstairs to the hotel and drive the car directly home.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Tang, who was in a drowsy sleep, was woken up by his mobile phone. He curled up under the quilt and reached out to the bedside table to find the mobile phone.
Boss Gao's urgent urging came from the mobile phone: "Little handsome guy, why didn't Daochang Li come to our company?"
"That means he doesn't want to do it anymore. Boss Gao, please don't call me in the future. I'm really not his assistant, just a spectator."
Ye Tang hung up the phone impatiently and threw it on the pillow to continue sleeping.
A few minutes before I fell asleep, the phone rang again. Ye Tang got up from the bed and scratched his hair irritably: "If you have anything to do, you can go directly to the hotel to find him."
"I was standing at the door of his room, but no one agreed. Do you think Li Daochang has left?" Boss Gao continued to pester Ye Tang softly: "I still have to trouble you to come and help me take a look, and it's just you I can say a few words to Li Daochang."
Ye Tang came to the hotel reluctantly, and saw Boss Gao standing at the door frowning and smoking from a distance.
"Here comes the handsome guy." Seeing Ye Tang, Boss Gao handed over a cigarette very graciously.
"Thank you, I don't smoke." Ye Tang went straight to the door of Li Xuan's room and knocked on the door: "Daozhang Li, are you in there?"
"Yes." The door opened in response, and Li Xuan walked out of the room.
Ye Tang looked puzzled: "I thought you had already left, why are you ignoring Boss Gao since you're in the house?"
Li Xuan looked at him and said nothing, walking ahead with his sword on his back.Boss Gao quickly followed up and said, "Daozhang Li, you can figure it out. Let me tell you that Yongzi really didn't come to work today. He has something to do with it in all likelihood."
Ye Tang watched the figures of Li Xuan and Boss Gao enter the office building one after the other. Just as he was wondering whether he should follow in, he caught a glimpse of a hunched back in the guard room not far away.
Ye Tang sneaked over and saw Mrs. Sun talking to the doorman. After the two had a quick chat, Mrs. Sun came out in a panic and gave Ye Tang a glare as she passed by.
Ye Tang stood there puzzled, always feeling that the old lady didn't want to see him.Looking at Mrs. Sun's back, Ye Tang fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that..." A terrifying idea gradually emerged in Ye Tang's mind.
Mrs. Sun has a severe hunchback, and her back is like a pot. If she lay on the ground and covered her body with a blanket, her figure would be similar to the "big mouse" recorded by the camera. As for the flashing light spot, I'm afraid it's Mrs. Sun's golden tooth.
Maybe she broke the table and smiled at the camera!
Ye Tang hurriedly ran into the office building and pressed the elevator to go in. He wanted to tell Li Xuan about this matter quickly. If Mrs. Sun was suspected, then Yongzi might be in danger now.
When the elevator slowly ascended to the fourth floor, it stopped suddenly, and the overhead lights flickered a few times, but did not turn on again, and the confined space became much darker in an instant.
"Could it be that the elevator is broken?" Ye Tang stretched out his hand and pressed the distress button, but there was no response. Then he pressed the floor button and the door open button one by one, but the elevator still remained motionless.
"It's over, it's over...I'm trapped in the elevator." Ye Tang took out his phone, but sure enough, he couldn't even receive a signal.
The wooden boards around exuded a heavy sense of oppression. He subconsciously reached out and touched the protective board in the elevator. The lifeless wood... felt very similar to Boss Gao's desk.
He quickly raised the flash of his mobile phone and looked carefully along the surrounding wooden boards. Sure enough, he saw a few lines of incantations engraved on the wooden boards diagonally above.
"Why am I so stupid, I didn't think of this step." Ye Tang patted his forehead angrily. Since Mrs. Sun is not a good person, the doorman who talked to her must have participated in it. Isn't the elevator protective plate just the doorman? It was pretended, but he was so stupid that he threw himself into the trap.
At this time, the door of the elevator opened slowly, and outside the door was a dark road with no end in sight.
"Why is the fourth floor so dark?" Ye Tang poked his head to look, but he didn't dare to take a step out of the elevator. He remembered what Li Xuan said yesterday. The inscription on the coffin is the gate to the underworld. The place is not the fourth floor of the office building at all, but... the underworld.
Ye Tang leaned back in the elevator, with only the sound of his own heavy breathing in his ears, he told himself that he must never go out.
At this time, the elevator door slowly closed and opened again, repeating itself non-stop, as if urging the people inside to get out quickly.
In the darkness ahead, there was the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground. From far to near, he slowly approached the elevator. Ye Tang saw a gray-faced woman in a white-collar uniform skirt step by step into the elevator.
The woman had no pupils and no breathing. She stood quietly beside Ye Tang, waiting for the elevator doors to close.
At this time, Ye Tang was already in a cold sweat, but he found that the female ghost didn't seem to want to harm him, she seemed to just want to take the elevator.
Ye Tang refrained from showing a frightened expression, and secretly glanced sideways at the work badge hanging on the female ghost's chest, with "Jin Huibang Small Loan Company" impressively printed on it.
Ye Tang instantly understood that she was the missing female employee from the business department.
After the elevator door closed again, it began to rise slowly and finally stopped on the sixth floor. He quickly reached out and pressed the door open button, and bright sunlight came through the crack of the door.
The elevator door opened slowly, Ye Tang saw Li Xuan was pointing at the elevator with a sword, he rushed out excitedly and accidentally staggered into Li Xuan's arms.
"I'm sorry, Daoist Li, I didn't mean it!" Ye Tang quickly stood up straight and said to Li Xuan, "Mrs. Sun has a problem with the doorman!"
"I know." Li Xuan threw a talisman and pasted it on the head of the female ghost in the elevator and put her into a cloth bag.
Ye Tang turned his head and looked behind him. There were spells pasted on both sides of the elevator. He must have been able to reach the sixth floor safely because Li Xuan was casting spells.
"I just asked someone to check whether the employees in the company who were involved in the accident had contact with a common customer, and it turned out to be a man."
Li Xuan led Ye Tang to the business department and showed him the borrower information retrieved. On the computer page was a man named Xiao Feng.
After seeing the ID photo, Ye Tang was taken aback: "Isn't this the man you summoned?"
Li Xuan nodded: "We were misled from the beginning, thinking that the soul we recruited was Li Guoqiang who jumped to his death from a building, but it was actually Xiao Feng. So he dodged me and accused Boss Gao of harming him, just to make us stop earlier."
Li Xuan moved the mouse to scroll down the computer page: "General loan companies will ask the lender to leave the information and contact numbers of his parents and wives for debt collection."
Ye Tang followed the pointer of the mouse to look over, Xiao Feng's mother's information column read "Sun Rulan".
"Mrs. Sun is Xiao Feng's mother..." Ye Tang suddenly realized: "Then the doorman might be Xiao Feng's father."
"Even if it's not the father, it's other close relatives." Li Xuan explained: "I'm afraid Xiao Feng owed Jin Bang a huge sum of money and couldn't repay it and then committed suicide. His relatives lurked into this small loan company for revenge. Mrs. Sun must be a Veteran feng shui master, she brought her son's bones here under the guise of cleaning work. In order to set the elevator and office as a feng shui bureau leading to the underworld, she first scratched the elevator wall and forced Boss Gao to install a protective plate, and then made Broke his desk so he had to change desks."
"Ms. Sun really took great pains to destroy the desk. She knew that she could easily be recognized with a hunchback, so she just lay down on the ground and entered the office. With her high back, she became a big mouse in the video. I also looked at her back. Think of these."
Ye Tang analyzed his thoughts to Li Xuan: "The most urgent thing now is to find Yongzi. He has been out of contact since he got off work last night. I heard that he didn't come to work today."
"Boss Gao has already investigated the matter of finding someone. What we need to do now is to break the Feng Shui bureau of this company."
Ye Tang asked suspiciously: "Haven't you suppressed the situation between the desk and the elevator?"
"There is still one place that is not broken, and the feng shui bureau that directly caused Li Guoqiang to jump off the building has not been found. Mrs. Sun knows that she has been exposed, and she may fight with my back." Speaking of raising the sword, Ye Tang hurried out of the office, followed by Ye Tang His sleeve said: "I guess a place, follow me."
