Although many people think that the lively and trendy requiem ceremony is more festive, but when they encounter a death that makes them extremely uncomfortable, they prefer to pursue a quieter ceremony.That is to say, the Shi family and schools similar to the Shi family cannot be said to be popular with the public, but they are often more profound and awe-inspiring.

Then people will be more willing to pay more.

Therefore, although the Shi family often takes jobs that only get half the price of a meal for one night, they often have jobs that will allow the entire family to eat and drink for decades to come.And sometimes even though it was a job of a poor man at the time, decades later, the former poor man ascended to wealth, and then revealed a little bit to the outside: "After the Shijia ceremony, I felt that the whole person was sober, and I was sober. With today's achievements."

Then there will be many rich people looking for the Shi family's requiem, even if they themselves don't like the style of the Shi family's requiem.However, this choice of chasing the footsteps of successful people will naturally disappear when the fame of the successful people fades or becomes buried, so the Shi family's business is only occasionally better, and most of the time it is just so-so—anyway, the worst is not to be hungry. die.

The Shi family is a relatively pure mortal family, and occasionally cooperates with monks—after all, dealing with the dead for a long time, it is inevitable to run into ghosts—most of the time they use rituals and props that can only be found among mortals.After all, the Shi family has been passed down for so many generations, and they have basically ensured that there is no need to worry about food and clothing for generations, so the total population of the family is not bad. When it is more, it can be thousands, and at least it is dozens of times. This population base goes up. They have been walking between Yin and Yang for a long time, and often come into contact with places with a certain concentration of spiritual energy, so they will give birth to children with spiritual roots from time to time.

Shi Bolin, the three-spiritual root who entered Yunxia Sect, is probably the most promising one in the history of the Shi family in terms of cultivation. Other Shi families have spiritual roots, most of which are five-spiritual roots, and the four-spiritual roots have appeared in total. Three or five.For the Shi family's main business, the three spirit roots and the four spirit roots are basically equivalent to sending the children to the cultivation sect, and they cannot be expected to inherit the family business. Only when the Shi family really hits a ghost, these children who go to become monks will be sent. It must be used—of course, this use is also very important. If a family with an elegant temperament screams and panics when encountering a ghost, it will obviously damage the trust of the employer. The monks are the confidence of the Shi family.

Confidence may not show practical effects for a long time, but it must exist. Only when this confidence exists stably can you do other things more calmly.

08017-Happy and sad

As far as the Shi family's main business is concerned, the five spirit roots are more practical than the three and four spirit roots.Even if Wulinggen is average in comprehension, he will not be able to enter the sect, or he will not enter the sect at all, and he will practice with the introductory textbooks on comprehension that can be bought anywhere. Spiritual power can make the atmosphere more ethereal, calm and suitable for analyzing the heart in the requiem ceremony.

The qi training period of the less popular sects and the qi training period of casual cultivators with five spiritual roots are mostly in the mortal world, so it is just suitable for the Shi family's ceremony scene.When encountering a real ghost, at least some effective attacks can be made on the ghost during the Qi training period of using the upper half of the spiritual power. The weak little ghost feels that this place is not easy to make trouble, so he leaves. Unavailable monk family support is fast and reliable.

Of course, there are rituals during the qi training period, and the fees are more expensive than those without the qi training period.

The Shi family generally will not actively recommend to guests to participate in the ceremony during the Qi training period unless the guest mentions it.On the one hand, the Shi family has very few qi training periods, and only one can be produced in two or three generations, so it can't make people rush around; More than the former's total income in a year.

There is only one situation where the Shi family would suggest that the client hire his family for a Qi training period, and that is the situation of 'probably going to hell'.After working in this business for a long time, he will form an intuition about whether the deceased will turn into a ghost or whether he will be haunted by ghosts. As long as the Shi family thinks that there may be problems in any ritual, he will let his family prepare for it during the Qi training period. Contact the monk family to pre-apply for support.If something goes wrong, it can be dealt with in a timely manner, and the price can be raised to the customer by the way; if there is no problem, it can also be used as a Qi training period to solve the problem with the monk's family invisibly, and the price can still be raised to the customer.

Soon after Shi Bolin was born, he was found to have three spiritual roots, which made the Shi family happy and sad.

The good news is that before Shi Bolin was born, the last serious monk of the Shi family—that is, entered the foundation building period—had just told the Shi family a few years ago that she felt that her life was coming to an end, and Shi Bolin was just able to take over. This support, confidence position.

The sad thing is that the unscrupulous monks working in the Shi family's own house - that is, the Qi training period - are almost dead.The division of the main family leaves only one 180-year-old ancestor who is in the Qi training period. Although he is mentally strong, he is also the master who needs to use a cane to walk. He dare not let him go to the battle scene.In fact, it almost meant that the Shi family had no qi training period to follow the ceremony, and Shi Bolin could not take this position, but the Shi family's need for the qi training period was more urgent and realistic.

Shi Bolin's father comforted his family: "It is easier and cheaper to hire a Qi training period than to hire a foundation building period. The big deal is that we can find a Qi training period and sign a long-term contract. Ask a few lesser martial arts, and you will definitely find a suitable one. My son may To be able to enter the golden elixir stage in the future, oh golden elixir, our family has never been released before, this is a major event that will create history."

Shi's family: "But our family's business doesn't need Jindanqi. Jindanqi's attention to our family's work is a waste of the time of Jindan Patriarch, and it will make us feel embarrassed."

Shi Bolin's father: "Don't care about the specific strength of the Golden Core Stage, you just need to look at the lifespan of the Golden Core Stage, which is 800 years old on average. That is, as long as my son enters the Golden Core Stage, we will not need it for at least the next [-] years." I am worried that there is no hole card. The next few generations will have a strong confidence, so why are you dissatisfied?"

The Shi family: "I'm not dissatisfied at all, but I can't use it. I think it's a waste. It's a waste. The higher the cultivation level, the more wasteful it is."

——When Shi Bolin was admitted to Yunxia Sect, especially after entering the inner sect, the Shi family thought, "This child is recognized by Yunxia Sect, there is a chance that he will enter the transformation god stage, and the Nascent Soul stage is relatively stable when counted conservatively", Then he sighed even more for the waste: "Wouldn't it be good to dismantle Shi Bolin into hundreds of Qi training sessions for the family to use?"

But sigh, sigh, the Shi family has always treated Shi Bolin very well.Before joining Yunxia Sect, Shi Bolin had always been a pampered young master.Regardless of whether the Shi family was trying to establish a good relationship with the future cultivator at that time, or because they thought that the Shi family would not stay with the child for long and were prone to reluctance, anyway, the favor really fell on Shi Bolin, at that time Only Shi Bolin's parents were the only ones in the entire Shi family who could speak harshly and reject Shi Bolin.

The entire Shi family played bad faces in front of Shi Bolin, forcing Shi Bolin's parents to play the bad faces in their son's childhood education, and they still didn't play the role thoroughly.

Especially when Shi Bolin showed his incomparable good luck, Shi Bolin's parents were often immersed in shock, ignoring the black face appearance.

If there is any pressure on Shi Bolin before becoming a disciple of Yunxia Sect, it may be that the Shi family has taken a fancy to his good luck, and felt that Shi Bolin would not stay in the Shi family for too long, so they let Shi Bolin Joined Shi's work.Specific tasks include but are not limited to: choosing a suitable location for the corpse, arranging the distribution of relatives and friends of the deceased, finding relatively safe coordinates in an environment with too much yin, choosing a suitable cemetery, and so on.

It can be said that Shi Bolin has done all the non-manual work in the Shi family, and the amount of work done is quite large.Although the Shi family also paid Shi Bolin generously, the Shi family cannot justify the employment of child labor.Not only hired, but also high-intensity squeezed.

08019-win-win

Shi Bolin: "For a period of time, I was working almost all the time except sleeping, and I didn't stop when I was eating. Even when I squatted in the toilet, there were people asking questions outside the door. However, I didn't feel tired at that time, because I It’s basically just talking, plus raising your arms and pointing your fingers a little bit, except that it’s annoying to have someone talking all the time around you, I’m not dissatisfied with anything else.”

At that time, the Shi family was still a little guilty of squeezing a minor labor force like this, and because the work at home took up a lot of Shi Bolin's time, Shi Bolin could not concentrate on learning the basic knowledge of cultivation, which might delay his future cultivation. , The Shi family also felt that it was inappropriate, so the Shi family thought of a compromise.

"Compromise" means that those who can participate in the family business, Shi Bolin, still have to continue to participate, and they must participate before Shi Bolin is admitted to the cultivation school, but at the same time, they should also train Shi Bolin's ability to start cultivation.

The 'solution' is, since Shi Bolin has no time to study the theory of cultivation due to too much work, then treat family work as practice of cultivation.Don't monks also emphasize entering the world and doing tasks in the process of cultivation?Shi Bolin can definitely accumulate the experience of entering the world first, as long as this experience is solid enough, then although Shi Bolin officially started to cultivate late, he should be able to improve faster than his peers after starting.

When the Shi family made this plan, they should have no idea in their minds. After all, the highest cultivation level of the monks the Shi family is familiar with is only at the foundation stage. But the Shi family really couldn't bear Shi Bolin's easy use, so they still took this excuse and implemented it in a cruel way.

Shi Bolin: "Some people feel that the Shi family is too selfish and short-sighted after knowing what happened, and they don't think about my future development at all. Will my three spiritual roots be killed because of this? When I came to take the Yunxia Sect, my cultivation was only at the early stage of Qi training. With the three spiritual roots, I was in my teens and I was in the early stage of Qi training. It seems that the Shi family's education method really delayed me."

Me: "And soon you entered Foundation Establishment, and your cultivation level has never been lower than the average cultivation level of Yunxiazong's disciples who are similar to your age."

Shi Bolin: "So judging from the results, the Shi family's plan has come true. The family business and my future have been taken into account. I didn't wrong the other members of the Shi family for me, and I didn't hurt me for the sake of the other members of the Shi family. .Under the condition that the information I know is not comprehensive enough, I achieved both by relying on my feelings and obeying my heart. That was my initial cognition of win-win situation. This cognition is so firm that I don’t think it will be possible to overthrow it in my life. "
