I have a role in the heavens

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, they followed the example of worshiping ancestors and it has become a folk custom to this day.

A few days before the Ghost Festival, Mingkui shop began to sell boots, skirts, and robes with jade belts, all made of paper. On the night of the 14th, people bought several pieces of silk leaf paper and spread them on the offering table, with grains and other grains placed on the table, hoping 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. In ancient times, officials did not disturb the people on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and bandits did not rob the people. Moreover, these days were the season of no harvesting 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 hires people from the underworld to serve as bank executives and print underworld paper, which can 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 paper, why did it become 5,000 taels 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 this world has to cost extra, and it will naturally be the same down there. Of course, it should 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 will be 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 together 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 name on the notice, immediately laughed, and joked to the 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 understand!"

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

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 man. 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, 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 was dubious, and looked up again. He saw that the audience was full of people, all of them were lonely ghosts. Their faces were pale and their lips were black. All the ghosts were obsessed with watching the drama on the stage.

Behind these ghosts stood four ghosts, two black and two white, holding soul-enchanting weapons in their hands. They would escort these ghosts into the underworld after they finished watching the show.

"Oops, there's a female ghost who likes literary talent!"

Lin Fengjiao looked at an ugly female ghost with an obsessed look on her face, drooling from the corner of her mouth, and kept touching Wencai, with a somewhat worried look on her face.

"Qiusheng, give me your hand!"

Lin Fengjiao took out a red rope from her arms, tied it on Qiu Sheng's wrist, and warned him.

"You go in and bring Wen Cai out. If the show ends after a while, if he goes to the eighteenth level of hell, even I won't be able to save him!"

"Master, your Taoism is so high, why don't you go in and let me go? Is it okay if you don't go?!"

There was a look of fear on Qiu Sheng's face. There were so many ghosts there. He was worried that he would be eaten by these 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, all these lonely ghosts will be scared away, and we will be in trouble!"

"Stop being so nagging, let's go in quickly!"

Qiu Sheng suddenly realized and reluctantly walked towards the audience.

At this moment, a female ghost fell from the sky and landed next to Wencai. She glared at the ugly female ghost who was holding her hand. The ugly female ghost immediately showed a scared expression and retreated obediently.

The female ghost then walked up to Wencai, blew gently at him, and helped him open his eyes.

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

"Hey, when did so many people come?"

"You're so absorbed in watching the show that you don't even know when someone is coming. It's normal!"

With a bright smile on her face, the female ghost made an excuse and fooled Wencai.

Lin Fengjiao tied the red rope and told Qiu Sheng about the taboos involved.

"Qiusheng, you must remember that people do not offend ghosts, and ghosts do not offend people. You must pretend that you can't see or hear, and they will ignore you. I will use the red rope to lead you out. Don't drag the red rope out. The rope is broken!”

Qiu Sheng boldly walked to Wencai's side, pretending not to see the ghosts around him the whole time, and said to Wencai.

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

Wen Cai was chatting happily with the female ghost. Hearing this, he looked at Qiu Sheng and said quickly.

"Brother, this is Xiaoli, right?"

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

"Why can't I see it?"

A smile appeared on Xiaoli's face. She saw through Qiu Sheng's pretense and gave him a wink, which immediately fascinated Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng's eyes widened, he stared at Xiaoli, and praised the female ghost in his mouth.

"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 female ghost. Just when he was about to pull the red rope to pull Qiu Sheng back, he saw Qiu Sheng on the female ghost's side. Confused, she took the initiative to untie the red rope on her wrist, completely forgetting Lin Fengjiao's instructions.

"Brother, get ready, there's going to be trouble!"

Zhang Yunqing shook his head and sighed. Who are Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai? They are troublemakers who can't walk when they see women. Now that they are confused by the female ghost Xiaoli, they will definitely cause trouble.

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

"No, I came here to seek refuge. A bad guy wanted to force me to be his little wife. If I didn't agree, he sent someone to arrest me!"

The female ghost Xiaoli looked pitiful and confused Wencai and Qiu Sheng. They looked angry and took the initiative to help.

"Who is it? We will stand up for you!"

"Those four at the back are good at sorcery. You are no match for them!"

"It doesn't matter, we also know Maoshan Taoism, which is perfect for dealing with evil arts!"

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

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai walked up to the Yin Chai behind the ghost group. Seeing that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were disciples of Maoshan, the four Yin Chai were not prepared. Qiu Sheng used the Soul Calming Talisman to immobilize them and immediately fell to the ground.

"The evil spirits have been subdued, everyone, run away!"

In an instant, these lonely ghosts became a mess and fled in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yunqing and Lin Fengjiao jumped out quickly and used Taoist magic to intercept them, but it was too late and they only captured half of the ghosts. The other ghosts took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

In Yizhuang, the four ghost servants looked at Lin Fengjiao with anger and said.

"Lin Fengjiao, your disciple caused great trouble and let go of the ghosts, making it impossible for us to go back and do our work. You must give us an explanation!"

Lin Fengjiao's face was extremely gloomy. The trouble caused by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai this time was really too big. If these lonely ghosts could not be captured, all the yin and virtue he had accumulated would be wiped out, and he might not be able to enter the underworld in the future. He is about to fall into the eighteenth level of hell.

"Masters of ghost missions, don't worry. I will give you an explanation on this matter. I will catch all the lonely ghosts as soon as possible. I will not let the world be haunted!"

"As soon as possible, we can't wait. If the higher-ups ask, we won't be able to eat and walk around!"

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. The relationship between master and disciple was deep, 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 couldn't 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. Got it!"

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.

"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. When he heard 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 not good at teaching. Can we shirk responsibility just because we were careless?"

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

Shi Jian had a look of dissatisfaction 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 Wen Cai. It was obvious that he wanted to let these two people do this dangerous thing.

"One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. If they cause trouble, they are the ones doing it!"

Lin Fengjiao did not shirk her responsibility and was ready to let Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai complete this dangerous matter.

At three o'clock in the night, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai carried their burdens, looked left and right, walked in the town, and shouted.

"Stinky tofu!"

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

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai did not mess up the matter, and successfully led the lonely ghosts into the innate Bagua array.

Everyone showed up immediately and showed off their magical powers to capture all the ghosts. Only Shi Jian was extremely violent and used the Lightning Thunder Fist to beat the spirits of many ghosts to pieces. His attack was so vicious that Zhang Yunqing was stunned. His brows furrowed.

"Elder brother, these are all lonely ghosts. Your use of Lightning Thunder Fist is a bit too much!"
