Chapter 7 Pick Up a Job

"So, the total price is 86,000 yuan. I will erase the fraction of it. Just give you 86,000 yuan. I will pay half the deposit in advance, and I will give the rest until the delivery."

Looking at the price list listed by Wang Mingcheng, Su Chen's face remained unchanged, but he was cursing in his heart. Not to mention 86,000 yuan, his total net worth is not 6,000 yuan now, so where can he pay the deposit in advance?

"Boss Wang, your price..."

"Brother, I don't make much money for you at this price. You are also an insider. You should know how difficult it is to build such a pair of shade-gathering coffin. First of all, the requirements for wood are very high. It must be a locust tree that has been more than fifty years old, and the workmanship must be exquisite. Especially for these textures, ordinary carving masters may not be able to carve it out, let alone carpenters, which is the craftsmanship that our family has passed down from generation to generation."

Wang Mingcheng thought Su Chen was going to negotiate the price, so he quickly explained. Su Chen felt helpless. Of course, he knew that the price was not expensive. The carpenter who could build a yin-gathering coffin had more than this craft fee, and the other party did not pay a high price randomly.

"The price is very fair, but can Boss Wang build it first and then give it to you when the money is delivered."

For Su Chen, the sooner the Yin-gathering coffin was created, the more helpful it would be for him to treat his condition. What he thought was to build it here first, and he was going to find a way to raise money. When the money was raised, the coffin was also created.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Mingcheng frowned and said, "Little brother, there is no such rule. He has to pay a deposit first. Anyway, the money is also paid by the employer."

"The employer with a hammer."

Su Chen complained in his heart and was about to explain, but at this moment, footsteps came from the door, and a figure stepped into the threshold and walked in.

"Mingcheng, do you want to do something?"

The same middle-aged man came in. When he saw Su Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You have someone, so you have something to talk about."

"This little brother is not an outsider. If you have any living Ma Liu, just say it directly." After saying this, Wang Mingcheng introduced to Su Chen: "Little brother, this is my neighbor, with a surname Ma, and the sixth place in the family. We all call him Ma Liu."

"Hello, Brother Ma."

"Hello, hello."

Ma Liu and Su Chen politely approached for a while and then spoke, "That's right. Didn't my aunt have several houses for rent? A tenant of a house hanged himself in the room. Then the neighbors of this house told my aunt that they often hear the noise in the room at night. I guess there might be something dirty, and I think of you."

"What are you doing to me? I don't know how to catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits. I am just a carpenter. You have to find a Taoist priest for this matter." Wang Mingcheng asked in confusion.

"Isn't it just a way to open a cauldron to find a Taoist priest? Then everyone will know that this house is dead. My aunt means trying to make things too big. Don't you have two treasures here? Take them here and put them in the house for a few days, and you will definitely lose any dirty things."

While saying this, Ma Liu glanced at the axe and wooden ruler on the incense table in front of him, but Wang Mingcheng's expression changed instantly after hearing this, and became ugly. He said seriously: "Ma Liu, how many times have I told you that this is my ancestor's belonging to my family. It is impossible to leave the incense table until it is impossible. Don't even think about it. Please ask Gao Ming for another job. I can't do this job."

"It's the age, and it's still so old-fashioned. My aunt said that if this matter can be solved, you can get 30,000 yuan in rewards. This is not more than making money than you worked hard to build a few coffins."

Ma Liuyi looked confused and didn't understand what Wang Mingcheng was thinking. Outsiders didn't know that the Wang family had two treasures, but he knew it and was fortunate to see it.

It was about ten years ago, when he and Wang Mingcheng went to the field to catch eels at night. Later, for some reason, Wang Mingcheng suddenly fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth, and grabbed the wet mud in the field and stuffed it into his mouth, scaring him to death, and had to force Wang Mingcheng back to the Wang family with another friend.

At that time, Mr. Wang was still there. Seeing this, he rushed into the lobby of the house, lit three incense sticks to pay homage to the incense table above the lobby, and then took down the wooden ruler on the incense table with a devout look on his face, and whipped Wang Mingcheng's body a few times. As a result, Wang Mingcheng did not twitch or foam.

But this is not enough. Although the body does not twitch or move, the whole person is still in a state of confusion. Seeing this, Mr. Wang put down the ruler, picked up the axe from the incense table, and roared: "How dare you make trouble for the disciples of the Lu family? If you don't retreat quickly, I will teach you how to try the Axe for Creating the World!"

Just when this sentence was yelled out, Wang Mingcheng woke up within a few seconds. At that time, Ma Liu realized that these two heirlooms of the Wang family were real treasures.

Later, Ma Liu asked the old man of the Wang family why such treasures were placed in the hall like this, so why wouldn't they be stolen? As a result, the old man of the Wang family replied that this was passed down from their ancestors of the Wang family, and it was already a spiritual person. It was just an ordinary axe to be taken away by others, and only Luban disciples among their Wang family could use it.

Although it took more than ten years, Ma Liu still remembers what happened at the beginning. However, both the old man of the Wang family and Wang Mingcheng told him that he would never use these two treasures unless he had no choice.

Su Chen listened aside, and he understood in his heart why Wang Mingcheng did not allow the axe and wooden ruler to leave the incense table.

This axe and wooden ruler have a history of at least hundreds of years. You have already enjoyed the incense worship of the Wang family every day, and you have a little spiritual energy, but because you are only made of ordinary materials, you can absorb so much spiritual energy that you cannot go further to the level of a magic weapon.

Su Chen guessed that the axe and wooden ruler were probably the tools left by the Wang family's first carpenter's ancestor. Later, people left them as relics and finally slowly worshipped them.

Being bound by innate conditions, it is difficult for these two things to reach the level of a magic weapon. If it is not a magic weapon, the spiritual energy contained in it is used less at a time. The Wang family should know this, so there are such rules.

"I don't know if I can take me to the house to see it, maybe I have a solution."

Su Chen spoke. At this time, he could not hide his weakness. He had 30,000 yuan. If he made this money, the deposit for the coffin would be enough.

"you?"

Ma Liu looked at Su Chen with suspicious eyes, while Wang Mingcheng on the side explained: "Ma Liu, Brother Su's family is well-known and is from the Earth Master family. I think you can take Brother Su to see it."

"Di Zhen Master, such a young Di Zhen Master?"

After hearing Wang Mingcheng's words, the questioning expression on Ma Liu's face did not disappear, but thinking that he could not find anyone now, then just take it as a living person.

"Brother Su, I don't mean to look down on you. Let's go and take a look. The house is not far from here, or are you going home to get something?"

"No, let's go and see the situation first."

Su Chen smiled and replied, "What a joke, he is an ordinary person now. If things are difficult, he will definitely not take on this job."

"Okay, then let's go now."

"Well, let's go." Su Chen followed Ma Liu, but when he reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around and shouted to Wang Mingcheng: "Boss Wang, you can start working that coffin now. I'll come to you later."

Wang Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Oh, okay."

...

Ma Liu spoke very honestly, and he was not far away. He reached his goal after walking for more than ten minutes. This is a community that has just been built not long ago. It can be seen from the bare trees planted in the community.

Walking into the community and following through several unit buildings, Su Chen and Ma Liu finally walked into a unit building and took the elevator to the 16th floor. This is the layout of two houses on the first floor. When you walk out of the elevator, you will find a corridor, and the doors of the two houses are just opposite each other.

Ma Liu took out the key and opened the door of the house on the left. Su Chen looked around the corridor and said nothing, and followed Ma Liu into the room.

After opening the door, Ma Liu stood in the entrance hall and did not go in again. He pointed to a door beside the inside and said to Su Chen: "Brother Su, this is my aunt's house. That girl hangs her in the bedroom. I won't go there, you can go and take a look."

Hearing Ma Liu's words, Su Chen smiled, nodded, and walked towards the bedroom. The bedroom door was closed. When he put his hand on the door handle to twist, he frowned because he felt a wave of resistance, but the wave was so small that it was almost negligible if he was not careful.

Turning the door open, Su Chen glanced at the entire bedroom. It was obvious that the bedroom had been cleaned and cleaned, and there was nothing except a wardrobe, bed board and a dressing table.

After walking around the room, Su Chen finally stopped in front of the dressing table for a while before walking out of the room.

"Brother Su, how about it?" Ma Liu asked immediately when he saw Su Chen coming out.

"It's a problem, let's go out and talk."

Su Chen led Ma Liu out of the room and went to the corridor, and then continued to speak: "This house is a bit unclean. The girl who committed suicide still has her soul inside, so the neighbor next door will hear an abnormal noise at night."

"Really, no wonder I felt cold when I entered that bedroom. Brother Su, what should I do now? Can you solve this problem?"

If it were someone else, he might have doubted the authenticity of Su Chen's words, but Ma Liu had seen the magical scene of Mr. Wang at the time, and he believed in some existences.

"It can be solved. Give me the keys and I will sleep here tonight. If there is no accident, I will be able to return to normal tomorrow."

"Brother Su, are you going to sleep here at night?"

Ma Liu showed admiration on his face. He didn't dare to go in the bedroom in broad daylight, let alone at night. It seemed that Brother Su was a real person, otherwise who would dare to do this?

"Well, the girl's soul will not appear during the day. She can only communicate with her at night to persuade her to leave." Su Chen explained. Of course, there was something he didn't say, that is, he is just an ordinary person now and doesn't have the ability in broad daylight.

"I understand, Brother Su, don't worry. As long as this matter is resolved, 30,000 yuan will definitely be indispensable. Then I will give you the key and I will leave first."

Even outside the corridor, Ma Liu didn't dare to stay there for a moment when he knew there was dirt in the house. After throwing the key to Su Chen, he hurriedly left.
