Master Gu shook the ashes from his cigarette and spoke calmly.
At the end, he added in an understatement:
"Of course, there are dangers in the test.
It may make you die faster and more miserably.
Even dead bodies are left intact.
Even if you pass, you may not be able to learn my skills.
Moreover, you have to sign a salary advance deduction contract with me.
You have to work in my shop for at least five years, 24/7, with a monthly salary of 3,000, but I only pay 500.
The remaining 2,500 will be used as a deduction for the cost of rescuing you.
Exactly 150,000 yuan in five years, with a principal of 100,000 yuan and an interest of 50,000 yuan.
Liquidated damages, three hundred thousand.
You may disagree, but I am sure.
If you leave this door, you won't survive tomorrow morning.
Even if you recite the entire Diamond Sutra, you still won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.”
Master Gu said slowly, without even looking at me.
After shaking off the ashes, he filled it with tobacco again, lit it and took another puff.
I stood there, looking very helpless.
Master Gu is not as bad as he thought, but he is not as good as he thought.
Let’s not talk about whether I can pass Master Gu’s test.
Even if I passed, I was saved.
The next five years may not be easy either.
The five-year contract has no holidays throughout the year and a penalty of 500,000 and 300,000 yuan per month.
To put it bluntly, I was asked to sign a five-year contract of sale.
I will sell myself to Master Gu for the next five years so that he can save me.
Now, there are only two ways before me.
Either go out and wait to die, or be killed by that female ghost tonight and take her life instead.
Or agree to Master Gu and give it a try.
Complete his test, get his help, and work for him for the next five years.
For me now, this multiple choice question is not difficult to choose.
So I didn’t hesitate too much and immediately said to Master Gu:
"Master Gu, as long as I can survive, I choose to accept the test."
Master Gu raised his head after hearing my promise.
He glanced at me and said with a smile on his face:
"Okay! Tonight you go to the Chenghuang Temple in Longgangzi, Chengkou, and help me sell some rice and eggs."
After listening to it, I felt a little baffled.
Selling rice and eggs, what kind of test is this?
Are you trying to trick me on purpose, or is there another mystery?
With doubts:
"Master Gu, selling rice and eggs?
How to go to Chengkou Longgangzi?
That place seems to have been demolished and there is no one left there.”
As soon as I finished speaking, my heart suddenly tightened.
Suddenly, I came back to my senses.
If you want to sell something in a place without people, who should you sell it to?
Master Gu looked at my shocked expression and laughed "hehehe" a few times:
"Yes, we only sell rice and eggs.
As long as you go, there will definitely be customers.
But for rice and eggs, you have to go to the Rose Supermarket in Nanshan Cemetery."
I felt a little uncomfortable.
Who is so full that he opens a supermarket in the cemetery?
Basically, I have already guessed who Master Gu asked me to sell things to.
Most likely, it must be something dirty.
Master Gu probably wanted to test my courage and courage through this matter.
After all, Master Gu feeds on the dead, does business with dead people, and does weird things.
If I want to stay here and do odd jobs, I must be brave.
I am still more or less nervous, but in order to survive.
Now I can only bite the bullet.
I took a deep breath and then said:
"Master Gu, apart from these, is there anything else we need to pay attention to?
How should I sell the things? How much will they cost?”
After all, you have to deal with dirty things, so it wouldn't be wrong to ask for more details.
Master Gu took out a puff of smoke and said in a low voice:
"It's simple. You just need to be there before ten o'clock at night.
Place the rice and eggs, light some incense, and lie down under the offering table.
No matter what happens, don't come out.
But if someone asks you what you do.
Just say that you are selling goods, stay for one night and then leave.
If asked how to sell your goods, just say that rice is exchanged for money and eggs are exchanged for medicine.
Money only needs old money, and medicine only needs old medicine.
You can leave the temple and come back at six o'clock the next morning.
Remember, rice needs to be sold for ten dollars, and eggs need to be exchanged for ten medicines."
I listened to Master Gu's words very carefully and remembered every word he said.
In my heart, I kept repeating it silently.
Master Gu saw me mumbling for a while and asked:
"Do you remember everything?"
"Remember Master Gu."
I nodded in confirmation.
Then, Master Gu took out two black paper bowls from the drawer behind the counter.
He took out three more short incense sticks and handed them to me:
"Take this, you can light the incense when you enter the temple.
Just put the rice and eggs in the paper bowl."
I took the short incense stick and the paper bowl with a little trepidation.
Master Gu continued calmly:
"Rose Supermarket only opens after dark, and you must be at the temple before ten o'clock.
Otherwise, you won't be able to enter the temple, and the thing that is pestering you may even kill you.
It’s not too early now, go and prepare yourself!”
After saying that, Master Gu ignored me, turned around and entered the back room with his pipe in his mouth.
I looked at Master Gu leaving and said:
"Master Gu, I will definitely be able to complete this matter."
I no longer hesitated, turned around and left Wanfu Hall.
After going out, I used the map to search for the location of Nanshan Cemetery.
I found it was still a little far away.
Moreover, the Nanshan Cemetery and the Longgang Mountain City God Temple are located in the south and the other in the north, and are dozens of miles apart.
In terms of time, it may be a bit rushed.
But in order to survive, I can only do what the care master said.
First go to Nanshan Cemetery and look for the Rose Supermarket that only opens at night...
