Chapter 248 Seal Failure
Ling Chu's mouth twitched. He thought that if he came to the capital, he would not be followed by the puppet soul?
Doesn't this person know that people in the capital will die, and they will become puppet souls after death?
The young man lowered his head in shame. It's not that he had never thought that there would be puppet souls in the capital, but he was really entangled by them, so he thought of coming to the capital to try.
Always thinking that what if it works.
"You have been followed by them since you were a child, and you have nothing to do?"
"Well, I have nothing to do, but there are always puppet souls talking to me, and my ears can't be quiet. Also, all the food is enjoyed by them, and I can't taste anything, which gives me a headache."
Ling Chu was really surprised. Generally, living people who are followed by puppet souls will be infected with their yin energy. At the least, they will have bad luck, and for a long time, they will even lose their lives.
This person was actually fine, which made her envious.
Although she can drive away puppet souls, her body is too weak, and she dare not let them get close.
So she always carries protective talismans and magic tools with her.
The young man smiled bitterly, "What's there to envy? Others say I'm lucky."
"Others... you mean, are there other people who know you can see puppet souls?"
"When I was young, I was ignorant and didn't know how to hide it. Others knew I could see puppet souls, and they always disliked me and were even more reluctant to associate with me."
The young man may have been holding back for too long, and suddenly met someone who could see puppet souls like him and didn't despise him.
Regardless of whether it was the first time he met Ling Chu, he couldn't help but pour out everything in his heart.
"Even my parents thought I was unlucky. Later, I realized that being able to see puppet souls was not a good thing, so I never mentioned it to anyone again.
But the news got out, and no one in the surrounding area liked me.
After my parents passed away, everyone said that I had a hard life and killed them. They thought I was unlucky, and no one wanted to associate with me."
"Actually, I don't want to, and I don't want to see those puppet souls, but this is not something I can control. I was born to see them, and I don't know how to be like others."
"I also looked for many temples and Taoist temples, hoping that they would help me. But those monks and Taoists said that my yin and yang eyes were born, and they couldn't do anything."
He was very disappointed when he couldn't find a way. But he had no choice but to accept it.
However, he still didn't give up.
On the way to Beijing, he went into Taoist temples and temples to try.
But unfortunately, he returned disappointed every time.
Ling Chu sympathized with the young man's experience.
She had a similar experience when she was a child. Because she was born with yin and yang eyes, those puppet souls always liked to pester her.
Some puppet souls always like to talk to her when they see that she can see them.
Some puppet souls are bad-tempered and always appear suddenly to scare her.
She is weak to begin with, and when she is followed by those puppet souls and frightened by them, she gets sick every few days.
However, she is luckier than him because she has a powerful master.
At the beginning, Master Xuanyi saw that she was still young and in poor health, so he used magic to seal her yin and yang eyes.
Later, when she grew up, learned the mysterious arts from him, and developed courage, the master passed the sealing spell to her and let her learn to control it herself.
If there was no Master Xuanyi, she would probably be the same as the young man in front of her.
Perhaps, she would live a worse life than him, and it would not be surprising if she even lost her life.
After all, those people in Ling Mansion would not tolerate her staying by their side.
"If you are willing, I can try to see if I can seal your Yin-Yang eyes."
The young man originally looked disappointed, but he was overjoyed when he heard it, "Girl, do you know how to seal Yin-Yang eyes?"
Ling Chu looked at the joy on his face. Although he didn't have the heart to discourage him, he still confessed, "I can seal my own Yin-Yang eyes, but to be honest, I have never helped others to seal them.
As for whether it can succeed, I am not sure. If you are willing, I will try my best."
Although Ling Chu did not guarantee it, the young man still said without hesitation, "I am willing to believe you, please help me try."
He had no other choice, and it would be okay to try. The worst thing would be disappointment again.
Seeing that he agreed, Ling Chu nodded and said, "Okay, come in with me."
Ling Chu turned around and walked back to the shop, and the young man followed him in.
The two guards and the maids also followed him back to the shop silently. They could not help with this kind of thing, so they could only wait quietly by the side.
After entering the shop, Ling Chu started to work.
However, I don’t know if the young man’s Yin-Yang eyes are too special, or if she hasn’t mastered the art.
The seal failed.
Seeing Ling Chu’s disappointed face.
On the contrary, the young man, perhaps because he has been disappointed too many times, is calm now.
He even comforted her in return.
“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work, it’s just that you can’t taste the food, it’s not a big deal.”
Ling Chu sighed, “Maybe I didn’t learn enough and couldn’t help you.
However, maybe my master has a way, but... he is not in Kyoto now.”
Thinking of this person’s fate, Ling Chu’s heart moved.
“Aren’t you planning to come to Kyoto to find a job? It just so happens that my store is short of people. Why don’t you stay and be the shopkeeper for me? When my master comes to Beijing in the future, I will let him help you seal the Yin-Yang eyes.”
The young man was moved. He really wanted to work in the capital, but he had been in the capital for more than ten days and had not found any good job. He could only do some temporary work for others.
Unexpectedly, pie fell from the sky now.
After being happy for a while, the young man hesitated again, "Miss, I am really grateful that you are willing to hire me to work.
But... To be honest with you, I have never been a shopkeeper, I am afraid I can't do it.
If you don't mind, I will be your assistant.
I can do all the work of moving, lifting, cleaning, etc."
It seems that he is still an honest person.
He has yin and yang eyes, can see puppet souls, is brave, and has a strong life.
This is exactly the candidate for the shopkeeper she wants to find.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't been a shopkeeper before, you can learn to do it slowly.
My shop is a shop for the dead, and the things it sells are not ordinary. There are not many customers at the beginning, so you can slowly adapt to it.
Besides, you can see the puppet soul, so you can help me.
If you are willing to stay, in addition to the monthly salary, you will also have clothes, shoes and socks for all four seasons, and even food and accommodation can be solved in this small building..."
Before Ling Chu finished speaking, the young man nodded in joy.
Since he was a child, because he could see the puppet soul, everyone thought he was unlucky.
I never thought that one day, he would become a shopkeeper because he had the yin and yang eyes and a strong life.
It seems that he came to Beijing from a long distance, and it was right.
The young man was happy, and Ling Chu was satisfied.
With a shopkeeper, her shop can open.
