there is someone behind me

One month is not long or short, during which Zhou Ling dressed herself up as a beautiful young lady from time to time, and everyone in the Liu family completed a transition from being shocked at the beginning to sneaking glances from time to time.Liu Zihong's five-year-old nephew said it very bluntly: "It looks good!" But Liu Zihong himself still felt that he couldn't express it in words.

Because Zhou Ling was his assistant, the two of them often practiced tacit understanding together in the past month.Of course, so far nothing has worked.But that's not the point. For Liu Zihong, the extreme yin body is more important for distinguishing qi and summoning souls. This does not require any tacit cooperation, as long as Zhou Ling's physique is there, it is completely sufficient.

Although the Lingshan Liu family is good at manipulating Liu Linglang, the magic summit is not purely magic-fighting, and sometimes includes things like finding things, navigating mazes, or solving crimes.This is the weakness of the Liu family, so they need a medium that can attract ghosts.

Zhou Ling realized that he might become a "magnet" in the second week after he stopped learning to cut wood. He was a little anxious, but it was not because he was afraid of ghosts—he had seen these things a lot when he was a child. Take care of yourself, these things rushed towards him one after another - but there were not many talismans in his hand.

Originally, he planned to return to Zixiao Mountain after graduation, and the talisman he brought out would still be left after returning to the mountain, but the appearance of the Liu family disrupted his planned plan.Coupled with the fact that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is coming soon, which is commonly known as the ghost month in the folk, Zhou Ling began to worry that his stock would not be enough.

Except for the two Thunder Talismans at the bottom of the pressing box, other soul-suppressing Talismans, concealment Talismans, peace blessings, Yin-dispelling Talismans, and evil-dispelling Talismans may not be able to last until the end of the Ghost Moon. He had the idea of ​​mailing a pack of talismans.But the question is, is there really a signal in the "corner corner" of Zixiao Mountain?And the big brother also said "don't call unless you have to." Zhou Ling stared at the phone and thought about it for two days, and finally gave up the plan to dial.

Liu Zihong probably sensed that Zhou Ling was not in the right state recently, so he suddenly said to Zhou Ling this day: "If you are really scared, just tell me, I don't need an assistant whose legs will go limp."

Zhou Ling let out an "ah" and woke up from the distracted state: "What did you say?"

Liu Zihong said with a straight face: "I said if you can't do it, you can change."

"..." Zhou Ling: "Is this your unilateral idea or the idea agreed by the Liu family?"

Liu Zihong didn't speak.

Zhou Ling understood: "Okay, for my mother's relics, I will participate in this summit. I'm not very afraid of ghosts, of course, if they treat me better. It's just that July is coming soon. Do you understand what I mean?"

In July, Liu Zihong quickly realized that Zhou Ling was referring to the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and he curled his lips: "Isn't it the ghost month? Are you looking down on me or my guardian fairy boy?"

Zhou Ling reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "That's up to you, big brother." Then he stood up: "Is it almost here today? I have to go back to feed the cat."

Liu Zihong waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go, let's go." Regarding Zhou Ling's excellent qualifications, but his careless attitude, Liu Zihong didn't want to say anything anymore, anyway, he wouldn't stay in Liu's house in the end, and he didn't bother Tube.

Liu Ruyi was quite satisfied with the fact that Zhou Ling and Liu Zihong got along peacefully.The patriarch was satisfied, and the rest of the Liu family couldn't intervene.But Liu Meng, who was substituted for the opportunity to play, was very unconvinced. She was approaching her age, and it was hard to say whether she would be able to take part in the competition in two years. The Extreme Yin Physique was snatched away by airborne, and the most annoying thing is that she reported this Extreme Yin Physique to the clan.

Liu Meng wondered more than once, if she hadn't reported Zhou Ling's matter, would there not have been these follow-ups? She is still the representative player of the Liu family in this year's Magic Summit, and she can stand in front of the entire metaphysics interface with Liu Zihong to perform Himself... Liu Meng at this time had already forgotten that when she reported the extreme Yin body, she was also thinking of inviting a wave of merit.

The opening ceremony of the Magic Summit is scheduled for the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and contestants need to check in to designated hotels in advance.The Liu family has already started preparations for the departure, and they directly chartered a small plane to fly directly to Hangzhou, the destination of the opening ceremony.This time also went with Liu Ruyi, the team leader, and some other young people from the Liu family. Most of them were candidates for the next summit, and Liu Meng was among them.

It was the same airport that the capable woman who picked them up last time sent them to. Zhou Ling pulled a suitcase, carried a small cloth bag on his back, and held the cat in his hand.When Liu Zihong saw the nanny he was holding, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "You must bring it?"

Zhou Ling nodded seriously: "I'm afraid it will be killed as soon as I leave."

"There may not be someone to take care of it for you during the competition." Liu Zihong glanced around at the young people of Liu's family. None of them are people who can take care of cats and dogs, let alone sit quietly while watching the competition. In addition to the team leaders of each family and faction, everyone else needs to go to the venue to grab a seat. Who would like to bring a cat by their side.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned and said, "I can take the cat on the plane and into the hotel through a special channel, so it's not impossible for me to take it to the competition. Don't you know that the cat is psychic?"

Liu Zihong: "Are you sure?"

Zhou Ling: "Is it not allowed to bring pet props in the competition?"

Liu Zihong shook his head: "In the last session, someone took the spirit turtle."

Zhou Ling: "Then it's over, I'll bring a civet."

Liu Zihong's gaze flicked over the little orange cat, showing disgust without any concealment.

Zhou Ling scratched the cat's chin and said, "Anyway, I'm just a magnet, and I don't have to do anything else. Can't I bring a favorite prop?"

Perhaps considering the mood of the "magnet", Liu Zihong turned around and boarded the plane, leaving Zhou Ling with a silent back.Zhou Ling and the milk cat named Xiao Huang meowed meaninglessly for a while and followed them up.

Liu Meng, who had already sat on the plane, watched Zhou Ling come up with the cat in his arms, showing unfriendly eyes.I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the little milk cat just blew twice at this time, Zhou Ling looked down and saw the flashing expression on Liu Meng's face.Although the other party received it quickly, Zhou Ling still saw the unwillingness and resentment.

Looks like he needs to pay attention to this man, he thought.

After boarding the plane, Liu Ruyi kept his eyes closed the whole time, and the other young members of the Liu family did not dare to speak loudly. Except for the occasional flight attendant who came to ask if they needed anything, the whole cabin was very quiet.

Zhou Ling didn't last long before he fell asleep, pushed the cat to his chest, and fell asleep in minutes.He seemed to have had a dream, dreaming that he was in the darkness, and he couldn't see anything, but he knew that there were other living creatures nearby, farther away, and farther away.

The dream seemed to last for a long time, but it didn't seem long.When he woke up, the dream was still dark.Zhou Ling picked up the cat lying on his chest, and followed the crowd off the plane not soberly.But he didn't take this dream to heart, he often had similar dreams, dark, boundless world, invisible self and others, couldn't tell what it meant, even dream interpretation couldn't explain why.

Only one thing is certain, as long as the little uncle is around, his dreams will not have that suppressed sense of urgency.Zhou Ling self-understands that he is insecure, and the little uncle is someone who can give him tons of security.But speaking of it, he hasn't dreamed so clearly for a long time. Could it be that he is subconsciously thinking about the little uncle?

Zhou Ling lifted Xiao Huang up: "Do you think my uncle will forget me?"

"Meow?"

"It's only been four years, probably not. But four years is not short. Will he alienate me? Then I will make trouble."

Seeing Zhou Lingluo talking to the cat, Liu Zihong shouted, "Zhou Ling, don't fall behind."

"Got it." Zhou Ling held the cat in his arms, pulled up the box and ran.

What he didn't see was that on the other side of the luggage carousel, two young men were sneakily looking at him under cover.

"Is it? Is it?"

"Yes, yes, it must be true. Didn't you hear someone call him Zhou Ling?"

"Wow, great discovery, I'm going to report to Master." As he spoke, one of the teenagers in a hoodie stopped saluting, turned around and ran away, another young man in a peaked cap yelled twice behind him but failed , I could only drag the salute for three people and walked out bitterly, while walking, I thought: "What's the use of running so fast, and you can't rush to meet someone thousands of miles away immediately."

On the other side, Zhou Ling followed the Liu family out of the terminal.Liu Xuan came to Hangzhou in advance to arrange the hotel and vehicles, and now he took everyone from the Liu family to the hotel to put their luggage, and then went to eat.The place to eat is a well-known restaurant in Hangzhou called Louwailou, which is just beside the West Lake.The first impression of the whole restaurant is elegance, like a gentle maid leaning against the lake.The moment he stepped into the building outside the building, Zhou Ling felt the special aura mixed with the spirit of water in the lake and the vitality of people.

This is a lively store, full of fireworks but also has a quiet charm.

Liu Xuan reserved a private room, and everyone was walking in, when another group of people walked towards them.This group of people were uniformly dressed in layman's clothes, and they looked like they were going out to practice Tai Chi.

But apparently not.

Because Liu Ruyi stopped to greet them.I saw Liu Ruyi calling out to the middle-aged man who was leading the way: "Mr. Gu."

The other party replied: "Mr. Liu, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." Liu Ruyi said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Gu's eldest grandson will also participate in this summit?"

Mr. Gu waved his hand: "Little boy, let him increase his knowledge." He said that, but the expression on his face was mixed with pride and joy.He paused and said: "It is said that the Lingshan Liu family took back an extremely Yin body this time, which is rare. Will you participate this time?"

Zhou Ling: "...!?"

Liu Ruyi is also quite modest: "I've just started learning, come and learn."

Zhou Ling: Then stop studying, how about going home?
