Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 154 Under the Rewards, There Will Be Brave Men
"Take it," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "I will have some cooperation with Wu's Chamber of Commerce soon, and to a certain extent, we can be regarded as our own people."

"Oh, then congratulations girl! I wish you a prosperous business!" The guy hurriedly collected the money, and then looked at the other guys, "Thank you boss soon!"

"Thank you boss!" Several guys said in unison.

"Go back and use grapefruit leaves to boil the pot of bath water. After washing, you can drive away evil spirits!" Ye Qiongdan urged.

"Definitely, definitely." Several guys said quickly.

After they took the money, they all beamed with joy.

The guy who checked the house deed before, looked at Qian's face, and reminded him kindly: "Girl, this Bazhen Building is really evil! If you have the conditions, you might as well go to Yiling County and invite some masters to come and exorcise evil spirits."

"It's okay, don't do bad things for people, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!" Ye Qiongdan said with a smile.

"But a lot of people didn't do anything wrong, and they were scared in the Bazhen Building anyway, girl, don't take it lightly, this money is too much to save!" the man said solemnly.

"That's right," the shopkeeper of a nearby silk shop also came over and said, "Human life is at stake, so don't be careless!"

"To put it bluntly, save money for a while, and go to the cemetery tomorrow! Money is something that you don't bring with you when you are born, and you don't take it with you when you die. You can only enjoy it when you are alive, and you can earn more and more only when you are alive. How about a little money? Isn’t this betting your own life?”

……

The shopkeepers of several shops around came forward to persuade Ye Qiongdan, Ye Qiongdan cupped his hands towards them, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I believe that with my upright spirit, I will never stay in this restaurant." Hurt! I wish you all a prosperous business!"

After all, she sighed and walked firmly into the Bazhen Building and went to the backyard of the Bazhen Building.

The people outside the restaurant poked their heads in with some fear, and were forced out again by the cold yin inside the building.

"Oh, I'm afraid this girl is in danger!"

"Yeah, how can you go to the backyard and the kitchen as soon as you come here? That's the most haunted place!"

"Young and energetic, don't take other people's advice seriously! She will regret it immediately, but I don't know if she needs to pay the price with her life!"

……

Ye Qiongdan passed through layers of evil spirits that gradually became thicker like a shallow gray mist, and came to the place where he had set up the four elephants gathering Yin formation at that time, and dispelled the formation under the watchful eyes of the innocent souls.

Then, she recited scriptures to transcend them.

Those animals who were tortured to death were very docile in front of Ye Qiongdan, and obediently accepted her salvation.

After saving the souls of all the animals, she bit her finger again, and drew a talisman with blood in the most yin-qi place in the building.

After the talisman was completed, the golden light flourished, instantly dispelling the evil spirit that shrouded the entire building.

Looking up, the mirror of the sky is like a crystal clear lake, and the long white clouds are floating in the sky like white jellyfish.

Under the golden sunshine, the entire Bazhen Tower gradually lost the cold, and became warm and dry.

Half an hour later, Ye Qiongdan walked out of Bazhen Building under the burning eyes of everyone.

Everyone looked at her anxiously, wondering if she was crazy.

"Girl, girl, are you okay?" one person asked.

"It's okay." Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly.

"Then why did it take you so long to come out?"

"I have been able to see some ghosts dimly since I was a child," Ye Qiongdan nonsense said. "After I went to the backyard, I found that they were all goats, cats, and donkeys who were slaughtered... They died very painfully, and I felt resentment in my heart." Ah. I chatted with them and advised them not to be attached to the pain before death, but to reincarnate quickly.”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether what she said was true or not.

Or is she also crazy and started talking nonsense?
"Then they are all gone now?" Another person asked.

"That's natural," Ye Qiongdan said firmly, "Come closer now, don't you think this restaurant is not as chilling as it used to be?"

Everyone carefully lay down on the folding door of the restaurant, poked their heads inward to feel it, and really felt that the restaurant was not as cold as before.

Could it be that it is a psychological effect?
People will be suspicious.

"You still don't believe me?" Ye Qiongdan moved out a table and a stool from the restaurant, sat outside the restaurant, then untied the money bag from his waist, and yelled loudly, "Come on! Take a look, take a look." Look! Now, all the animal souls that died unjustly in Bazhen Building have been reincarnated!"

"As long as someone can stay in the restaurant for a cup of tea, I will give him ten pennies; as long as someone can stay in the restaurant for a stick of incense, I will give him a penny; as long as there is someone, If someone can stay in the restaurant for an hour, I will give him one tael of silver; as long as someone can stay in the restaurant for a day, I will give him ten taels of silver," Ye Qiongdan continued, "If someone can stay in the restaurant for a day One night, then I will give him 30 taels of silver!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and immediately a passerby shouted: "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm sitting outside the restaurant, do you think it's true?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, it's time for me to go in and have a cup of tea!" The man licked his lips and said nervously.

Other passers-by persuaded.

"Don't go in! You don't want your life if you want money!"

"Even if you don't lose your life, what if you go crazy?"

"Yes, no matter how short of money you are, you can't take such a risk!"

……

The man hesitated a little.

Some people think that if they just go in and sit for a cup of tea, they will probably be fine. The evil spirits in this building are not too much for outsiders.

Ye Qiongdan said: "Don't worry! Nothing will happen!"

As a result, passers-by pointed their finger at Ye Qiongdan again, and condemned her out of righteous indignation.

Some rational passers-by remained silent. After all, this kind of thing is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. What is there to condemn?

The man entered the restaurant anxiously, sat in the lobby of the restaurant, looked at the passers-by outside as if sitting on pins and needles, sweating profusely from nervousness.

Tick, tick, tick... The sound of the copper hourglass rang out unhurriedly.

The man felt that every moment he spent was on the verge of life and death, and every sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window made him tremble with fear.

His hands rested on his lap uneasily, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, his eyes widened, and his breathing was rapid.

Like a year has passed, the time for a cup of tea has finally passed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with relief, and walked out of Bazhen Building. Ye Qiongdan kept his word and gave him ten copper coins.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and walked away with a smile.

The people around looked at his back and talked one after another.

"It doesn't look that scary."

"It's just the time for a cup of tea, do you want to try the time for a stick of incense?"

"What's the matter with the time of the stick of incense? There are so many of us surrounded outside, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me!"

"Hehe, when something happened in Bazhen Building before, there was no one inside or outside the building? Do you think they scare you?"

……

Everyone gradually quieted down.

Many people want that penny. After all, working in a shop in the county, working hard for a month, is only a few pennies.

But is money important?
"Anyone want to challenge the time for a stick of incense?" Ye Qiongdan asked loudly, "I told you, all the animal souls in the building have been reincarnated, why don't you believe me once?"

"What if it's hurt or crazy?" asked a young man.

"I'll pay the doctor's fee!" Ye Qiongdan said firmly.

"Is it true?"

"Everyone in the audience can testify!"

"Okay, then I'll come!" The young man mustered up his courage, stepped forward, walked into the Bazhen Building, and sat in the seat that the previous man had sat on.

Tick, tick, tick... The sound of the copper hourglass rang out regularly again.

During the period, Ye Qiongdan saw someone selling iced sour plum soup, so he bought two buckets of sour plum soup from the salesman, and invited the onlookers to drink it.

The sun was getting brighter and brighter. While hiding from the sun under the eaves of Bazhen Building, while drinking the heart-warming sour plum soup, they sighed that Ye Qiongdan could do things!
Ye Qiongdan brought the last bowl of sour plum soup into the Bazhen Building, gave it to the young man, and comforted him with a smile: "It's been half an hour for the incense sticks, just hold on, look, it's not that scary, is it?"

The young man nodded apprehensively, drank the sour plum soup nervously with a stiff neck, and forgot to even say "thank you".

The sun rose higher and higher, and finally, at three quarters past, the young man came out of the restaurant.

"A penny, take it." Ye Qiongdan took out the silver from the purse and pushed it over.

"Thank you." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Next, does anyone want to challenge for an hour?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

……

After two or three days, since none of the people who went in to challenge had any accidents, everyone in Qinghe County began to believe that this restaurant was no longer haunted.

The common people were amazed, and there were people talking about it everywhere in the teahouse and restaurant.

Some people say that the reason why she has been doing business smoothly in this life, and even ghosts shy away from her, is because she has done a lot of good things in her previous life. With her momentum, she will definitely do a lot in the future.

There are also people who sourly think that her smooth sailing is only temporary. How many people who seemed to have a bright future when they were young suddenly disappeared?
They felt that Ye Qiongdan was going to stumble next time, because they heard that she was going to open an ice building dedicated to selling ice, and she would definitely lose money!

Who is Ye Qiongdan?

She used to be a country girl, and her family was still very poor. Did she have the manpower and material resources to mine a large amount of solid ice in the cold winter and store them in a deep cellar?

Since she didn't store ice, she could only get ice from big merchants with strong financial resources, and the ice in the hands of those big merchants was not cheap!
After all, they hired people to collect the ice, and building a well-insulated ice cellar also required more expenses.
