I Am a Corpse Collector In the World of Cultivating Immortals

  Chapter 87 The Breath Master

   On the morning of the second day, the newcomer Zhang Qiang had been looking forward to hadn't come yet, but instead came a business first.

   "Trouble the three little masters, this is the deposit." The patriarch of the small family said respectfully, and took out a storage bag.

  Chen Shen glanced at two thousand high-grade spirit stones.

   "Bring it up!" The patriarch yelled towards the door, and several servants brought in the corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

   "Brother Chen, you should come." Zhang Qiang ordered.

  Chen Shen nodded slightly, and after the guests had left, he began to embalm the corpses.

  It is different from the past in Cangwu, just put it in the coffin and bury it at will.

  The customers who come to their coffin shop spend thousands or even tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

   It is necessary to tidy up the corpse from head to toe, sew the corpse, bury the corpse, select the coffin, set up the formation, and select the geomantic treasure site, all of which must satisfy the guests.

   What Chen Shen has to do is the steps before setting up the formation, and Mo Lao needs to do it himself.

  …

  The business of the coffin shop is not very good, with five or six orders a month.

  So most of the time, I am idle.

  This time, Zhang Qiang and Wang Lan didn't go out to sneak out, they have been waiting for the newcomers.

   Finally, in the afternoon.

  Mr. Mo led three hopeful apprentices to the coffin shop.

  They all looked like young people, but after Chen Shen found out about the cultivation bases of these people's golden cores, he knew that they had the ability to retain beauty, and they might be dozens or hundreds of years older.

  However, Chen Shen felt that these three people were extraordinary in their dress and behavior.

   "Zhang Qiang, Wang Lan, these three people will work with you in the future, please tell them more about the rules here." Mo Lao ordered and left.

  Disappointment flashed in the corner of Wang Lan's eyes. It wasn't just a man who came, but also a woman, who was prettier than her.

   "Let me introduce myself first." Zhang Qiang said with a big brother's pomp and chest.

  The three of them had been looking at the decorations in the coffin shop. When they heard Zhang Qiang speak at this moment, they all gave him a cold look and ignored him.

   However, the latter's complexion sank slightly. Obviously, the reaction of the other party made him, a big brother who claimed to be a coffin shop, lose face.

   But it’s not easy to get angry, after all, it’s just a coffin shop for corpses, and there aren’t many rules.

  If the discipline is strict, he and Wang Lan will not go to watch the formation of the luck master during work.

   The scene was a little awkward for a while, but it was very quiet.

  Of course, Zhang Qiang was alone in the embarrassment. The three obviously knew each other and whispered to each other.

  Chen Shen was serious about mending the newcomer's corpse.

   This corpse smells a bit stinky, thanks to the rouge and gouache in the store for the purpose of embalming the corpse.

  He sprinkled some fragrant powder, making the surroundings fragrant.

   "Don't you feel sick?"

  The voice sounded, Chen Shen raised his head suddenly, it was the new woman.

   "No." He shook his head slightly.

  Back then in Cangwu, no matter how stinky or **** corpses were, they would run away with them.

That's it?

   "I wouldn't do this if I was killed." The other two men frowned and covered their noses, as if they were afraid of smelling something.

   "It's okay." Chen Shen didn't wash his hands that touched the corpse. He buttoned his nose, then smelled it lightly, and wiped it with his clothes.

   "Huh~" The woman who chatted with Chen Shen instantly showed disgust and walked away from him.

   "We just need to learn the qi-watching technique and formation well. The most important thing is to be promoted to the qi-watching master as soon as possible." The three said.

  The luck masters in the Purple Garden don’t know how to do these things. It’s all caused by the peripheral coffin shops competing with each other for business.

  Over there, Zhang Qiang was not able to give the three newcomers the same as he did to Chen Shen at the beginning, and felt a little unhappy.

  He really wanted to find an opportunity to tell these three people, who is the big brother in this coffin shop!

  Finally, there was a good opportunity on the second day.

  On weekdays, there was only one order for business, but three orders came in this day.

  Mr. Mo greeted the guests in person, took the deposit, and before going out with the guests, he ordered: "Old rules, put the corpse in the coffin today, and I will come back to set up the formation in the evening."

   "Good Master Mo." Zhang Qiang secretly pleased.

  After Mr. Mo left, he looked at the newcomer.

   "You three newcomers, come here, and I will teach you how to sew a corpse. This is what newcomers must do, and Master Mo will pay attention to it in the future."

   Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice with a straight face.

   Obviously, he was immersed in the awkward world yesterday, but he didn't hear what the three of them said.

  Chen Shen walked away silently, picked up a corpse, and began to bury it, ignoring them.

   "Didn't you hear what Brother Zhang said?" Wang Lan also helped.

   There are mainly three corpses, and she doesn't want to sew up the corpses, so she usually asks Chen Shen to do it.

   "What? Let us enshrine the corpse like him?" The three pointed to Chen Shen and said in surprise.

   "Master Mo also said, let me explain the rules for you. The rules here are that you need to learn all the work. You newcomers, of course, have to bury the corpse." Zhang Qiang continued.

  The three newcomers frowned, with a look of evil spirit, one of them came to Zhang Qiang's side in an instant, and grabbed each other's neck.

  The latter has a terrified and unbelievable expression on his face.

Snapped!

   Zhang Qiang was blown to the ground, the man spat and sneered:

   "Really think that we are like you, burying corpses for the rest of our lives and earning some scraps of silver?"

   "You..." Zhang Qiang's face was red, and there was a five-finger mark on his face.

   "A mere coffin shop guy, dare to ride on our heads?"

  The man ignored Zhang Qiang, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and stared coldly at Wang Lan, whose face was trembling.

   "On the contrary, it's you, that young brother who works hard. You are trying to bully the newcomers by putting on airs?"

  Song Yucheng said indifferently.

   "..." Chen Shen, who was silent beside him, was speechless, and all of this could be cueed.

   Noisy is noisy, noisy is noisy, don't make fun of me, an honest person.

   "Dare to treat us as rookies, and don't look at how much we are?" Xu Wenjing, the woman among the three, also smiled lightly, showing a hint of disdain.

   "This is the rule of the coffin shop. You are newcomers, so of course you have to learn how to embroider and sew corpses. I just follow Master Mo's instructions!"

  Zhang Qiang's face was a little ugly, he got up, and said in a deep voice.

   "Don't use this to scare us. If you have to do this, you can invite Master Mo. If he tells us what you said, why not do it?"

  Song Yucheng shook her head and scoffed at Zhang Qiang's words.

   "What is there to say to the little guy who has collected and mended corpses all his life, we are just going through the motions, let's go, let's drink tea."

  The third of the three spoke.

   "After afternoon tea, if I don't see you two burying these two corpses, I'll beat you to death." Song Yucheng walked forward and threatened.

  He was not helping Chen Shen, but he was upset with the person who found fault with him and punished him slightly.

   Zhang Qiang and the two trembled, and dared not speak out.

   It was agreed to give the newcomer a blow, but the newcomer was blown away.

   "Wait, I will definitely talk to Master Mo about this matter." After the three big-name newcomers left, Zhang Qiang clenched his fists tightly, with resentment in his eyes.

"This matter must not be settled like this. Everyone is Jindan, and they are also apprentices of Wangqi master. How can they bully people like this? It's just because of the large number of people. The three of us should also unite. Brother Chen Shen said yes no."

   He spoke again.

  Hearing this, Chen Shen was slightly taken aback.

   Unity? When he does all the dirty work on weekdays, why don't you talk about unity and friendship, now that you are being bullied, you want to drag him into a gang to fight against the three newcomers?

   Besides, is this person brainless? Didn't he listen to what those people said? The other party was just going through the motions!

   "It may be related to the apprentice of the Luck Master." Chen Shen had a flash of inspiration.

  The three newcomers have some backgrounds, but they are willing to come to the coffin shop to be apprentices.

  For a luck master who can enter the Purple Garden, even if he is just an apprentice, the oil and water in it may be very huge.

  In the coffin shop, Zhang Qiang uttered a lot of harsh words, but after he was full of breath, he seriously buried the corpse.

  The ruthless words of newcomers are still very effective.

  …

   As the sunset approached, the three newcomers did not come back, but Mo Lao came back instead.

  When Zhang Qiang saw the shopkeeper, he immediately cried out aggrieved as if he saw his own mother.

   "Master Mo, you have to give us three decisions."

   After a lot of embellishment, Chen Shen was even brought in.

   However, although Mo Lao listened, the expression on his face did not change.

  After listening to Zhang Qiang's bitter complaint, he said lightly:

   "I just asked you to say some rules, but didn't I ask you to show them off?"

  What experience Mo Lao has, how can he not see that the old man from home is adding oil and vinegar, he said again:

   "What rules do I have when laying this coffin?"

  Mr. Mo stared at Zhang Qiang, who was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. There seems to be no rules in the coffin shop...

   "Isn't the rule like the two of you stealing and cheating, do whatever you have to do, and leave someone to watch the shop if you have nothing to do, and you go out to play?"

   "That's right, didn't I come to do business today? Didn't I want to teach those three newcomers how to do things, but they just started doing it?"

   Zhang Qiang said with a miserable face, crying.

   "..." Mo Lao shook his head slightly, and said:

   "You and Wang Lan followed me almost at the same time, and it has been almost ten years.

  In these years, have you ever seen me take any more apprentices? I accepted Chen Shen just over half a month ago, but there must be ten years between me and you.

   This time I charged three more at once. Is it because the store is busy? I still think you guys are not lazy enough, and if you invite a few more people to come over for free, you can still receive your salary? "

   "This..." Zhang Qiang didn't know how to answer.

   "Although you haven't seen a big man, you must have some insight and think about why I have to add three people in for no reason. I don't think they are really here to eat and not work."

  Mr. Mo said, seeing Zhang Qiang's puzzled eyes, shook his head slightly, and said:

"In a few years, Ziyuan will have a group of Jindan Stage Luck masters who will be dissolved and need to recruit apprentices, and apprentices will only be found from our major coffin shops. The three newcomers are here for these places. Come to me This is just a formality.

  You don’t want to show off like a big brother, learn more from Chen Shen, do more things, and spend less time out.

  These people have some backgrounds, you can't provoke them, and they have all learned the art of watching qi. In this respect, you are inferior to them. "

   After finishing speaking, Mr. Mo pondered for a moment, and took out a book: "Air-watching technique is not a treasure, it has many influences, but it cannot be passed on.

  This is the complete Qi Wang technique, the three of you should each extract a copy, study hard when you go back, and don’t let the three of you underestimate you. "

  Zhang Qiang and the three of them each have surprises.

  The first two have followed for ten years, and only learned two articles. Now they can learn everything, very happy.

  As for Chen Shen, he is naturally the happiest one.

   This is the beginning of his career as a luck master.

  Watching the three of them leave happily holding the copy, Mr. Mo said softly: "This is an opportunity that has never been seen in a hundred years. I hope that among the three of you, one of you can enter the Purple Garden and become an apprentice of a luck master..."

  …

   Time flies, went to March.

   Zhang Qiang was blessed by misfortune, and learned the complete technique of qi-watching, and did not care about the three newcomers.

  In fact, he was trembling every time he saw these three people. Knowing the background of these people, he didn't dare to fight again.

  The three newcomers ignored each other, went to work every day to fish, and then left.

   Here comes the business, if you are interested, let Mo Lao help you and try to set up the formation yourself.

  Arranging formations is good for Qi watchers, and they can be tempered and refined in the formation.

  But most of the time, it was Chen Shen who asked for formation.

  His attainments in formations are far superior to those of others, even if he first comes into contact with the luck formation, he can understand by analogy.

   After only three months of studying in formation, his level has surpassed all others, and he can arrange a large array of luck for the coffin alone.

   "I asked why the white oriole formation is always incomplete. It turns out that it complements the Qi-watching technique. Only by mastering the complete Qi-watching technique can one arrange a complete formation."

  Chen Shen also finally understood why he, a baby-level formation master, couldn't even arrange the most basic luck formation.

   "However, my level is still a bit lower than that of Mo Lao. His other formations are far inferior to mine, but in terms of luck formations, they are ridiculously strong. The Baili formation can be inscribed with one hand without any mistakes.

  I can't do this, and I need to work harder. If I can do it, then I will be a qi master, not an apprentice. "

  He has a lot of thoughts.

  At this time, Zhang Qiang came from the door, carrying a coffin with one hand.

   "Chen Shen, come here, Master Mo asked you to help this coffin inscribe the Great Luck Formation." He greeted.

  Chen Shen raised his head, frowning slightly: "Master Mo?"

   "Yeah, he has something to do today, so he can't set up the formation. You are the only one who can engrave the formation alone here."

   Zhang Qiang said.

   "Where's the guest, how can you bring the coffin over?" Chen Shen asked, looking outside the door.

   "This was negotiated at the guest's house. That family is friends with Mo Shi, so I asked you to take it back and hand it over to you."

   "What about the contract, take it out."

  Chen Shen stretched out his hand and asked.

   There is also an agreement, not a verbal promise, for the coffin shop to bury people.

   "At Master Mo's place, maybe I'll take it for you, hurry up, the guest wants to be buried tonight." Zhang Qiang urged.

   "There is no contract, and the guests are not here. I can't arrange this formation." Chen Shen shook his head slightly.

   "You..." Zhang Qiang's face was a little ugly.

   "Really don't do it?"

  Chen Shen still shook his head, indifferent.

   "Okay, just wait, I'll ask you when Master Mo comes back." He carried the coffin out of the coffin shop again.

  Chen Shen didn't take it seriously, he didn't see the procedures and the guests, and he couldn't bear the responsibility for what happened.

  In the evening, Chen Shen discovered that Zhang Qiang and Wang Lan hadn't returned all night.

  Early the next morning, Mr. Mo returned to the store in a hurry. His first sentence was:

   "An accident happened to Zhang Qiang, and it almost got you involved."

   "What? Involved me?" Chen Shen was surprised.

  It's none of his business what happened to the other party, but what does it mean that he almost got himself involved?

   "This person is so bold that he dared to do private work outside. As a result, the array he arranged was incomplete. When he walked to the cemetery, he was spotted by a luck master."

   "No wonder yesterday..."

   "You also participated?"

   "No." Chen Shen shook his head hastily, and explained what happened yesterday in detail.

   "So that's how it should be. I asked you to take a risk if you couldn't make a move, so you took the risk and acted yourself, relying on the fact that those small families are laymen and couldn't tell, but they were unlucky and were exposed by a luck master."

  Mo Lao nodded.

   "But what does this have to do with me?" Chen Shen was puzzled.

  Mo Lao glanced at him, and said calmly: "Zhang Qiang pleaded guilty on the spot, and even confessed to you, saying that you are the mastermind."

   "???" Chen Shen.

   "Fortunately, my friend was there at the time and notified me, otherwise he wasn't the only one who had the accident, and you might have been arrested too."

   "Master Mo, I don't know about this matter at all, and I haven't taken any private work."

   "I know you have never done it. If you are the mastermind, it is impossible for this matter to go wrong, but it will be a huge profit."

   "..." Chen Shen was silent for a moment, and said, "Master Mo knows that I am not a greedy person."

   "Of course, that's why I'm going to protect you. Ziyuan Luck Master will come over to study you later." Mo Lao nodded.

  Chen Shen solemnly saluted the old shopkeeper.

   "There's no need to do this, just wait until it's safe and do your best for my shop."

   The two of them didn't chat for long before a middle-aged man with a good temperament walked in, followed by a group of people.

   "Huh~" Chen Shen discovered that there were three familiar faces behind the middle-aged man, and they were newcomers to his shop.

   "Are you Chen Shen?" The middle-aged man asked condescendingly.

  Chen Shen had a very respectful attitude, and quickly nodded in agreement.

  The next step is to study and test Chen Shen's level.

  If he never misses, he can prove the level of formation, which has nothing to do with Zhang Qiang.

   Hum!

  Chen Shen made seals with both hands, and perfectly and quickly arranged a large white oriole luck formation.

   "The speed is very fast, Qi watcher?" The noble luck master was surprised.

   "Okay, there is no need to test again. If you are related to that Xiaoxiao, how could you show your flaws in front of me? You have no doubts. I hope that you will be seen in the recruitment ceremony of luck apprentices in a few years."

  The Luck Master waved his hand and looked at Chen Shen with admiration.

   Then, a group of people simply left again.

   "Be careful of those three newcomers." Mo Lao personally accompanied the luck master out of the door, but his voice rang in Chen Shen's ear.

  The latter has been suspicious since seeing the three newcomers, but now Mo Lao is convinced.

   "Seeing that I am too strong, I want to get rid of it and hurry up." Chen Shen looked at the backs of the three walking away, and a killing intent surged in his heart.

   Thanks to book friends: book friends 20211001132249756, book friends 20210910133211177, Brother Bushuai, dreamx00, Ding Yousan, One Man's Sky, book friends 20190518185749003 for their monthly support, thank you all.
