To Raise a Soul

Yu Zhen soaked in the bathroom for more than 40 minutes, washed himself from top to bottom three times, and didn't stop until his skin turned red. Take it out.

It was this thing that made his brain run hot. After hearing Xin Xiaoxiao's words, he rushed to the company to relatives without hesitation.

The brocade pouch is only the size of a palm, with gold patterns embroidered on a white background, and the mouth of the pendant is made of pearls.

Holding his breath, he carefully opened the opening of the kit and took out the contents.

It was a cassock, the same as the brocade pouch, with gold patterns on a white background, but it was a modern shirt style.The collar of the shirt is an unofficial semi-stand-up collar, and the neckline is embroidered with some dark patterns of auspicious clouds with gold thread, which are faintly visible under the light, low-key and gorgeous.

The fabric of the clothes feels like silk, very slippery, but it looks like an ordinary shirt, not too high-profile.

The shirt buttons are also very unique, all white flat oval pearls, carefully pulled open, you can also see the small array patterns painted on the reverse side of the pearls with golden brush strokes.

Yu Zhen couldn't help feeling excited again, and carefully turned the hem of the clothes to the wrong side, and sure enough, she saw the gossip pattern and the small word "Zhen" in the corner that she saw when she had a glimpse this morning.

It was his name, embroidered by Yin Yan himself, and he would never mistake the other party's handwriting.

He couldn't help but bury his head in it, and rubbed the place where the words were embroidered. His heart was full and swollen, and he wanted to shout happily, but he was afraid that he would be too excited and scare away his current happiness.

The style worn next to the body has the meaning of protection, and there is a unique word "Zhen" on it.

I just casually made up Yin Yan's serious refinement of this dress, and guessed the other party's mood when he embroidered the word "Zhen". He wanted to rush to the other party again, kiss him, hug him, and tell him, I Like you, it doesn't matter if you don't like me, I will always like you.

He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, rubbed his face and looked at himself in the mirror, shook his hands, and put on the clothes on his body.

The clothes fit well, and after the upper body, a cool aura immediately appeared, circled around him, and then flew to the shirt pocket, turning into a faint golden seed pattern.

He froze, glanced at the chest that was obviously empty when he observed it before, and touched the seed. He couldn't restrain his excitement, so he turned his head sideways to the bathroom door and banged it twice.

There is still such a little surprise, how can Yin Yan... how can he be so good!

"What's the matter?" Yin Yan's voice came through the door immediately, asking: "Have you finished washing? We're out for dinner."

Yu Zhen raised her head in a flash, took two steps back away from the bathroom door, was stunned for two seconds, glanced at the cassock that seemed to be tailor-made for her body, and said loudly, "Stay at the door and don't move! I'll come out right away! "

Yin Yan, who had no intention of leaving at all, looked at the bathroom door and knocked lightly as a response.

Yu Zhen was afraid that he would wait for a long time, so he acted immediately.

The downstairs bathroom was not used much, and the underwear was not clean, so Yu Zhen simply didn't wear it. He took out a pair of pajama pants from the pagoda and put them on. Uncomfortably, he smoothed the hem of his clothes, and went forward to unscrew the door of the bathroom.

The lights inside and outside the door merged together, the water vapor inside the door and the scent of shower gel wafted out together, and the smell of food outside the door also diffused.

Yu Zhen stepped out, tugged at the sleeves of the clothes, looked left and right but did not dare to look at Yin Yan, and asked, "Okay, does it look good? The clothes fit well, I like them very much, thank you."

To be honest, the look of a shirt with pajama pants and sandals is neither fish nor fowl in anyone's eyes.But Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, and Yu Zhen's fair and ruddy skin is too suitable for the white shirt and pearls, and he also has half-wet hair... Ignoring the lower body, Yu Zhen at this time is simply With a sense of holy abstinence, it is very tempting to commit crimes.

However, he was still unaware of this, his head was turned sideways and his face was blushing, showing a shy look, which made people itch.

Yin Yan couldn't help reaching out to touch him.

Yu Zhen's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't hide, and took the initiative to take a step forward.

The slender fingertips lightly touched the seed pattern on the breast pocket of the shirt, and then quickly retracted as if electrocuted.

"It's beautiful." Yin Yan withdrew his hand restrainedly, his tone was still calm, but his voice was a little tense, "It's beautiful, Tiancansi and Nanhaizhu are very suitable for you."

Celestial silk and South Sea pearls?

Yu Zhen finally looked up at him, and took the initiative to take his hand.

If you want to embrace a beauty, you must take the initiative, take the initiative, he cheered himself up in his heart.

Yin Yan immediately held his hand back, then stuffed him with a ball without hesitation, and ate one for himself by the way.

"..."

Take the initiative!

Yu Zhen let go of her hand, her face numb.

"The cassock is originally a set, and the trousers haven't been made yet. I'll give it to you in a few days." Yin Yan took his hand again, turned around and led him towards the dining room, and said with his back: "If you like , I will practice a few more sets for you."

Yu Zhen wanted to bite him, but also wanted to follow him in everything, followed his topic and said, "Why do you practice a few more sets? Will the cassock be dirty too?"

"No, the cassock is not stained by mortal dust and filth." Yin Yan replied, leading him to sit down at the dining table, then picked up a bowl to serve him food, and replied: "But we should not be too special in terms of walking in the secular world, food, clothing, housing and transportation. "

Yu Zhen frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at the cassock on her body, liking and feeling distressed.

Then the sky silk and South Sea pearls are very valuable at first sight. It is a waste to use these precious materials to make many sets of unnecessary cassocks for daily wear just to cover up.

What's more, what Yin Yan is using now should be the old stock, and most of them have no channels to replenish. If they use a little less, they are all used by him. What should Yin Yan do?

"No, a set of cassocks is enough. The world is safe now. The cassocks are only used to deal with ghost cultivators and evil cultivators. I usually wear ordinary clothes." Yu Zhen quickly refused.

Yin Yan looked at him, put the rice in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch his head, with a touch of love from an adult when he sees a sensible child.

Yu Zhen froze and looked up at him.

"There are celestial silkworm nests and South Sea mussels in the mustard space. These are only primary refining materials and are not precious. When you become stronger in the future, I will replace them with better ones. Now your body can only bear this level of aura. vestment."

As he spoke, he took out a small jade altar and pushed it in front of him, saying: "Nanhaizhu has the effect of calming spiritual energy, it is suitable for practicing hands, these are for you."

Don't look at the jar, it's another small space magic weapon, the space inside is definitely not as big as it looks.

Yu Zhen shut up, and finally realized what kind of local tyrant was standing in front of him. He leaned over and carefully lifted the lid of the altar, and then quickly closed it after seeing the luster of pearls everywhere. Looking at Yin Yan, he couldn't tell. Come on.

"Have a meal."

Yin Yan helped him put the small jar into the pagoda, and pushed the rabbit meat in front of him.

Yu Zhen moved his eyes, looked at the steaming and fragrant Babao rabbit in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, and glanced at the fish in front of Yin Yan, who seemed not to have much temperature, pursed his lips, and put the two rabbit legs together. Put it in Yin Yan's bowl, and then put your head down to chop the rice vigorously.

Yin Yan looked at him: "You..."

"Don't eat, sleep, don't talk, don't talk! I'm very hungry, I have to concentrate on eating!"

Yu Zhen spoke vaguely without raising her head, her cheeks were bulging, and she suddenly wanted to take the initiative to eat a ball.

Obviously what he is doing is a rabbit, but every time he deliberately makes his legs whole and leaves them all to him... How can he be so good, this person, why can he be so good.

And who has nothing, how should I repay this kindness.

Yin Yan looked at the rabbit legs in the bowl, his eyes melted little by little, he stretched out his hand, touched his buried head, and helped him dry his half-wet hair.

That night, Yu Zhen squeezed into Yin Yan's room, but did nothing. He obediently lay down on his own half, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Yin Yan stood by the bed and watched him for a while, ate a ball first, then turned off the light and lifted the quilt on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Yu Zhen secretly opened his eyes and found that Yin Yan was lying with his back facing him. After waiting quietly for a while, after confirming that he should have fallen asleep, he moved over carefully, reached out and hugged his waist from behind, and put his face on the bed. buried on his back.

The person being hugged did not move, and his body was very relaxed.

"It's not past twelve o'clock...Happy birthday."

The room was very quiet, and Yin Yan's breathing rate did not change at all.

Yu Zhen snickered, rubbed his back affectionately, and continued: "Next year I will remember to prepare for your birthday earlier." At least order a cake, or make one yourself.

The room became quiet again, and the night was soft and floating.

After a long time, Yu Zhen's voice sounded again, with a hint of shyness and joy.

"I like you."

"I will work hard to practice."

"I hope I can know your name after your soul is fully recovered and you no longer fear the way of heaven."

real name.

Yu Zhen fell asleep, full of joy.

Yin Yan kept his back facing him, as if he had already fallen asleep.

As the moon set and the sun rose, Yu Zhen turned over and rolled away from Yin Yan.

Yin Yan turned over, his eyes were clear, he was not half sleepy, he looked at Yu Zhen's blissful face in the dim morning light, stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms, closed his eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead .

"it is good."

I only hope that you will still be willing to stay by my side when the soul is completed.

Numerous precedents tell us that love makes people mentally retarded.

Yu Zhen, who was not very smart at all, became mentally handicapped even more after falling in love.

"Will I disturb you too much if I follow you to the meeting?"

In the passenger seat, Yu Zhen was wearing a vestment of love, unable to rest for a moment.

Yin Yan turned the steering wheel, and after a smooth turn, he replied: "You are also a member of the project team, and you also need to participate in today's meeting." So there is no question of interruption or non-interruption.

"Oh yes, look at my memory." Yu Zhen blushed and calmed down.

5 minute later.

"Xiao Le is about to take the college entrance examination, should we go home and stay with him more recently?" Yu Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to Yin Yan's.

Yin Yan turned on the traffic light and replied, "He lives on campus and only goes home on weekends."

"Oh yes, he's already living in school. It's good to live in school, so he can concentrate on his studies."

The car was quiet again.

Yu Zhen turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window, but her eyes unconsciously glanced in Yin Yan's direction.

Sensing the excitement coming from him, Yin Yan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, turned the car into the company parking lot, parked it steadily, unbuckled his seat belt, and suddenly leaned forward in front of Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen stared wide-eyed, hesitated for a moment, and shyly approached him.

"Pay attention to the mind."

Feed a ball, instant love is floating clouds, becoming a fairy is serious.

Yu Zhen watched Yin Yan get out of the car with a numb face, was silent for a few seconds, then unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, and followed him listlessly.

As the elevator went up one floor at a time, Yu Zhen felt sour when he saw that there was at least one step between the two of them.

It's clear that the relationship has just been confirmed, but the usual holding hands are gone... Maybe he misunderstood, although Yin Yan kissed him yesterday, he didn't say whether he wanted to be with him or not. In today's society, a kiss doesn't mean What……

Ding, the elevator door opened, and he was about to go out, but his arm was suddenly pulled, and then a familiar breath enveloped him, and his lips felt warm.

Score at the touch of a button.

Yin Yan touched his face, glanced at Cao Xingdong who had a stiff expression outside the elevator, nodded to him, then took Yu Zhen's hand, tapped his forehead with the other hand, and said while leading him out: "Return to God!" , I will take you to eat delicious food after opening."

Yu Zhen rubbed his forehead, his frustration was swept away, he looked at Yin Yan with bright eyes, he couldn't care about anything else, he nodded, and said: "Okay, let's go eat something delicious, how about some fish?" , don’t you like to eat fish?”

eat fish...

Cao Xingdong watched the two walk away holding hands, tightened the hand holding the document, turned around and walked into the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the sixteenth floor.

Yu Zhen must have liked Yin Yan very much, so much that he was the only one he could see in his eyes, and he didn't notice himself standing in front of him at all.

The cell phone rang suddenly, he came back to his senses, quickly took out the cell phone, but stopped answering the phone when he saw the name of the caller, hesitated, hung up cruelly, and walked away from the elevator door that just opened go out.

The meeting went smoothly. After the meeting, Yin Yan kept his promise and prepared to take Yu Zhen to eat delicious food, but he didn't want the plan to change. Yin Hexiang suddenly called and asked them to have lunch together.

"I didn't expect Mr. Feng to take the initiative to call me, saying that we are running a leisure center project that benefits students, and I want to send some calligraphy, painting and ancient books over on behalf of some old friends, so that current students can also know the beauty of Chinese studies."

In the car, Yin Hexiang said with a smile on his face, and sighed a little: "I think Mr. Feng's words are right. It's a pity that traditional culture has declined now. We can set up a traditional cultural area in the leisure hall, so that the current students can get in touch with it more. Get in touch with the good things left by our ancestors."

"I'll let Minister Liu arrange this part." Yin Yan nodded in response.

So Yin Hexiang's mood improved, and he simply started talking about Chinese studies.

It was rare for Yu Zhen to see Yin Hexiang talkative and excited like this. It seemed that this old Feng's appointment made him feel very happy, and he became curious about that old Feng in his heart.

The place for lunch was chosen by Mr. Feng. It was in a quaint and time-honored small restaurant. The location was a bit remote, but the clean environment was good.

Following the guidance of the waiter, he came to the box on the second floor. Before entering the door, Yin Yan suddenly tapped Yu Zhen's body and swept him with spiritual energy.

Yu Zhen looked at him suspiciously.

[The people inside are monks. 】

monk?

Yu Zhen's heart immediately rose, and she unconsciously leaned against him, her expression stiffened.

Since he entered Taoism, he has seen basically only two kinds of monks - ghost cultivators and evil cultivators, all of which he needs to eliminate.Now that Yin Yan reminded him in advance, and specially covered him with a layer of aura, could it be that there is something wrong with the monks inside?

"Old Feng, long time no see!"

As soon as Yin Hexiang entered, he greeted them warmly. Seeing that there were three people beside Mr. Feng, he was a little surprised, so he greeted all of them regardless of whether he knew him or not.

"Boss Yin is still so energetic, sit down quickly."

The grey-haired and hale and hearty old man also greeted with a smile, and politely and enthusiastically invited Yin Hexiang to take a seat.

Yu Zhen felt relieved when he saw the old man, and his face was full of surprise: "An old man with a bad heart?"

All the people in the room looked towards him, and Elder Feng also looked over, looked at him carefully, made a look of surprise, and greeted: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here."

Yin Hexiang was puzzled and asked, "Xiaozhen, do you know Mr. Feng?"

Yu Zhen nodded, and simply replied: "My car was accidentally scratched by someone before. This old man, this Grandpa Feng helped me." He also secretly fiddled with his palm print fortune-telling board, and wanted to take him in as an apprentice .

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Feng, for taking care of my children. I have caused you trouble." Yin Hexiang answered immediately.

Yu Zhen hurriedly followed and thanked him again, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

He has a good impression of this old man, and Yin Yan said that this old man has merits and virtues, and he is a good person like grandpa.It's not a cultivator or a bad person. Today's meal can be eaten with peace of mind.

"It's not troublesome, it's fate to meet you." Feng Lao waved his hand and once again called everyone to sit down.

After sitting down, everyone exchanged some pleasantries and introduced each other.

Elder Feng brought three people with him. On the left was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance. According to reports, his name was Boxiu, and he was in the antique business.The first person on the right is a handsome young man. His facial features are somewhat similar to Feng Lao's. His eyes are full of bones, and his temperament seems to be more lively. He is Feng Lao's grandson, named Feng Lin.

And the second from the right...

With a handsome appearance, Shi Qingyuan, who was wearing a light gray shirt this time, took the initiative to nod to Yin Yan, smiled warmly, and greeted: "Hello, we meet again."

"Happy to meet."

Yin Yan responded politely, but his attitude was not warm.

Shi Qingyuan didn't care, and turned his attention to Yu Zhen, nodded with a smile, and said, "Hello, I'm Shi Qingyuan, you can call me Qingyuan."

Qing Yuan?

Is this address too intimate for someone who meets for the first time?

Yu Zhen glanced at Yin Yan, and politely replied: "Mr. Shi, hello, I'm Yu Zhen, Yin Yan's...partner."

Yin Yan's eyes moved, and he looked sideways at him.

Yu Zhen acted nonchalantly.

"You two are a good match." Shi Qingyuan still smiled gently and kindly, his eyes swept over the small red rope towers on their wrists, and finally fell on the golden pattern and pearl buttons on Yu Zhen's sleeves, expressing something. Means: "The clothes are nice."

Yu Zhen's heart skipped a beat, not sure if he saw what he said on purpose, or if he just mentioned it casually and didn't answer.

Shi Qingyuan smiled and continued: "Pearls are also good."

This hint is so obvious that it is difficult for people to understand it. It seems that this person has seen something wrong with the clothes.

Yu Zhen finally took a closer look at him and found that although he didn't have the friendly aura that was different from ordinary people like Fengyuan and Boxiu, but the aura around him was very harmonious, and he seemed to be a monk as well.

But so young?

Yu Zhen was a little surprised. It's no wonder he was so surprised. Since he became a Taoist, all the monks he saw looked old, so he unconsciously had the stereotyped impression that all monks were elders.

Shi Qingyuan flicked the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and continued: "I was in a catastrophe when I was young. Thanks to the help of Qing Xuzi who was passing by Yunyou, I was able to escape safely. The kindness of saving my life is unforgettable."

Who is Qingxuzi?It's about the same as grandpa's dao name, only one character difference.

But grandpa has never been out of H province, so it should not be grandpa.

Yu Zhen was puzzled in his heart, but nodded on his face, showing that he was listening to him carefully.

Shi Qingyuan saw that the doubts on his face were not fake, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, he was stunned, and looked sideways at Fengyuan.

Although Feng Yuan was talking to Yin Hexiang, he diverted his attention here. Seeing him looking over, he shook his head at him, and then went on to talk about the leisure hall with Yin Hexiang.

"The soup here is good." Yin Yan said suddenly, and filled a bowl of soup for Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen's attention was drawn back, she nodded, and obediently lowered her head to drink the soup.

After that, Shi Qingyuan didn't speak any more, and his sense of presence weakened infinitely. For a while, only the voices of Feng Yuan and the other three elders remained on the table.

The matter of donating calligraphy and painting was quickly negotiated, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

Before parting, Shi Qingyuan finally spoke again, and took the initiative to ask for the contact information of Yin Yan and Yu Zhen, and left his own.

Elder Feng also asked for Yu Zhen's contact information, and his attitude was very cordial.

Yu Zhen was infected by their enthusiasm, and felt a little happy.

It was the first time he met friendly monks, and there were quite a few of them, which finally gave him some confidence in the current cultivation world, and he also knew that he was not walking a difficult road alone.

Yin Hexiang was going to attend an event in the afternoon, so he didn't go back to the company with Yin Yan and the others.

In the car, seeing that there was no one else around at last, Yu Zhen couldn't help but said, "Yin Yan, that Shi Qingyuan's aura is a bit strange, can you see his cultivation?"

"He is a Buddhist cultivator, his cultivation base is higher than that of Bo Xiu, and slightly weaker than Feng Yuan, but he shows signs of advancement." Yin Yan replied, looked at him sideways, and suddenly instructed: "Keep a distance from him."

Yu Zhen was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

"He was born with a Buddha body and can see things that ordinary monks can't see. You and I are remnant souls. The way of cultivation is completely different from that of monks in this world. It's hard to guarantee that he will see something strange." Yin Yan explained, seeing him frowned. Frowning, showing a worried look, he added: "But don't worry too much, they can't do anything to you and me."

Yu Zhen, who was confused by love and encountering friendly monks, finally calmed down, frowning all the time, and said: "Then can they see that you are resurrecting the dead? Will they be against you?"

Yin Yan was stunned for a rare moment, and then the aura on his body visibly softened.

"That's all you're worried about?"

Yu Zhen became even more nervous: "Could it be that we have other little secrets that he will find out? Is it nothingness? Or your space?"

...still so stupid.

"No, with their cultivation base, they can't see my reality." Yin Yan replied, reaching out to touch his head, "Don't be afraid."

Yu Zhen raised his hand to touch his chest, and looked at the corners of his mouth slightly raised, puzzled.

Yin Yan seems very happy, but why?Because of that Shi Qingyuan?
