ghost

Fang Xia returned to his room slowly, and pushed open the door. Sure enough, Fu Jin was still in his room, still standing by the window opposite the end of the bed, looking out the window quietly.The house was brightly lit, but it was dark outside. I don't know what beautiful scenery this old ghost is admiring.

The sound of Fang Xia pushing open the door startled Fu Jin, who turned his head to look at the entrance.When Fang Xia met Fu Jin's gaze, she felt chills in the back of her head.It's really not that he is cowardly, although as the saying goes, if you don't do bad things during the day and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, then you haven't really seen a ghost.Seeing it, normal people would definitely be afraid, but he is definitely a coward for not being scared to pee on the spot!

"Then what..." Fang Xia swallowed, and spontaneously explained to Fu Jin the whereabouts just now, "I just went to see the old lady Geng...that is Geng Wenqiu, you know, right? She explained everything about you to me gone."

Fu Jin nodded slightly, expressing that he knew.

"It's getting late, you go to bed early, good night." Fang Xia said as he retreated, he decided to sleep in Wang Ke's room opposite the door.

"Where are you going?" Fu Jin's eyes turned, and his eyes fell on Fang Xia's foot that had just exited the room.

"...I'm going to sleep with Wang Ke. I snore, grind my teeth, and talk in my sleep at night. I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

"I have to get used to it." Fu Jin paused for a while, then said, "You have to get used to it too."

Fang Xia: "..." What should I get used to, me?Are you used to living in a room with ghosts?

Fang Xia was silent.

Fu Jin looked at him quietly.

The eyes of the two sides crossed in the air, and they fought silently. In the end, Fang Xia was defeated, and silently moved the foot that had exited the door back into the house.

Yes, you have to get used to it.He has become the heir of the Shengun family, and his yin and yang eyes have been opened. It is already foreseeable that there will never be fewer opportunities to bump into ghosts in the future, so let's get used to this ancestral ghost of the Geng family, at least this one looks very pleasing to the eye .

Fang Xia lay down under the bed with a nervous mood.In the case of knowing that there is a ghost in the house, anyone will feel scared and uneasy, even if the ghost has no intention of hurting anyone.He thought he would suffer from insomnia, but he had a sound sleep. If he hadn't opened his eyes in the morning, he would have seen Fu Jin sitting on the chair by the bed, and he had almost forgotten that there was a ghost in his room. It's over.

During the day, Fu Jin's figure looked a little transparent, not as solid as at night, but it would definitely not be mistaken for a living person.

"Good morning..." Fang Xia pulled out a smile with a stiff expression, and after greeting Fu Jin, she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom barefoot, like sleepwalking.

"I'm probably a fool..." Isn't a fool able to fall asleep so heartlessly?Fang Xia washed his face with cold water, looked at himself in the mirror blankly for a while, then wiped his face vigorously, and retorted, "I fell asleep because I didn't sleep well two days ago. ! It must be so!"

After taking a bath in the bathroom to adjust his mood, under Fu Jin's quiet gaze, he reluctantly hung the jade ring back around his neck again, and Fang Xia went downstairs to have breakfast.

Uncle Tong and Aunt Chen got up early and had already eaten.Fang Xia ate with Wang Ke and Cheng Dong.Cheng Dong helped bring out Aunt Chen's warm dishes, while Fang Xia and Wang Ke held bowls of white porridge.

"I said Master Fang Xia, what are you thinking? There is an extra bowl of porridge." Cheng Dong just sat down, glanced at the dining table, and turned to look at Fang Xia who was beside him.

"Huh? Where's the excess?" Fang Xia put a bowl of porridge in front of Fu Jin, and returned Cheng Dong's puzzled look.

"That's not much? The three of us, what are you doing with four bowls of porridge?" Cheng Dong said, pointing to the four bowls of porridge on the dining table, "Aren't you awake?"

"The extra bowl... is for Mr. Fu?" Wang Ke was slightly taken aback, then asked out loud.

Isn't this obvious?Although the other party is a ghost, it would be uncomfortable for people to watch from the sidelines.Fang Xia glanced over the faces of Wang Ke and Cheng Dong, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed the point. Their question was not that he served Fu Jin with porridge, but that they didn't see the Fu Jin here at all. Sumire.

"You...can't see him?" Isn't the main business of Geng's old house a magic stick?As an employee of the old house, he should not be an ordinary person.

Cheng Dong picked up his bowl silently, left the seat next to Fang Xia, and sat down next to Wang Ke opposite.Wang Ke organized his words and explained to Fang Xia, "I think you have misunderstood people in the mystical arts circle, but not all people who understand mystical arts have the ability to see ghosts..."

"Master Fang Xia..."

In the middle of Wang Ke's words, Uncle Tong came in and interrupted him.He came to inform Fang Xia that the person who had been arranged by Geng Wenqiu to teach him how to control ghosts had arrived at the Geng family's old house and told him to go to class after breakfast.Now that the teacher arranged by Mrs. Geng for An Xia has come, Wang Ke will not continue to explain to Fang Xia. After all, compared to the person arranged by Mrs. Geng, he doesn't think that he, who is half a bucket of water, will explain better than the other party. comprehensive.

After dinner, Fang Xia followed Uncle Tong into the courtyard where he lived, and went to a study on the first floor, which was specially arranged for Fang Xia to study.

The decoration of this study room is quite different from the one I talked with Geng Wenqiu last night. Geng Wenqiu's room has a Chinese style, but leans toward modern design, while this study room is decorated in a completely retro Chinese style.There is a living room on the outside, and a study on the inside, with a partition in the middle made of bogus shelves.Enter through the round door left in the middle of the shelf, and on the left is a solid wood bookshelf that almost fills one wall. In front of the bookshelf is a carved pear wood desk. Wisps of blue smoke drifted out from the hollowed-out copper cover and disappeared in the air, leaving the unique smell of sandalwood quietly permeating the air.

Opposite the desk, there is a set of tables and chairs near the window, also made of pear blossom wood.There was a cup of tea on the table, and a man was sitting by the table, who had obviously been waiting for a long time.This person is the teacher Geng Wenqiu arranged for Fang Xia.

The visitor's name was Geng Shudan, in his early forties, with a pair of half-rim glasses on the bridge of his nose, his facial features were very ordinary, but he was full of books, and he looked like a teacher of the people.He is a member of the offshoot of the Geng family. According to seniority, Fang Xia should call him second uncle.This second uncle's ability in mystic arts cannot be regarded as the top among the Geng family, but his knowledge of mystical arts is quite extensive, and it is not limited to the ghost control skills learned by the Geng family.Therefore, he is now also one of the main teachers of the Geng family's juniors in the introduction to metaphysics.After the juniors of the Geng family are confirmed to be talented, the first thing they will be arranged for is this kind of introductory study. The entry age is generally under eight years old. Those at Fang Xia's age are obviously overage students.

Geng Shudan had never taught Fang Xia's younger generation, and the other party was the heir of the Geng family.After Uncle Tong left, Geng Shudan looked at Fang Xia who had already sat down opposite him and was drinking tea from a teacup, and said, "Let's chat casually today, if you want to know anything, just ask."

Geng Shudan decided to find out about Fang Xia's situation first, and formulate future teaching plans based on his situation.As a result, after the person sitting opposite listened, Fang Xia's celadon teacup rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "You can ask anything?"

Geng Shudan paused while stroking the teacup, and raised his eyes: "For example?"

"For example... how to terminate the contract?" Fang Xia Yujue pulled out from the collar, pinched Yujue and looked at Geng Shudan expectantly.

Geng Wenqiu said that unless Fu Jin finds the next guardian, the contract cannot be terminated.But Fang Xia didn't give up, since Geng Shudan asked him to ask casually, then he just asked.

"When a more suitable guardian than you appears, this contract can be terminated." Geng Shudan replied.

"except this."

"You go to seek Mr. Fu's permission."

"..."

Fang Xia stuffed the jade back into his collar in disappointment, "Geng Wenqiu didn't want you to tell me?"

Geng Shudan shook his head, "There is nothing to forbid. This contract-making technique is a retrograde ghost-controlling technique. The normal ghost-controlling technique is for the operator to control ghosts. But this retrograde ghost-controlling technique actively But the power is in the ghost's side, that is, in the hands of Mr. Fu."

Fang Xia looked sideways at Fu Jin who was standing in front of the desk, met the other's faint gaze, could not see any emotion, but made people dare not look directly at him.Fang Xia quickly turned his eyes away with his eyes wandering.

Fang Xia didn't continue the topic of terminating the contract, but instead asked questions that Wang Ke hadn't finished answering before.

"Not all people who know mystical arts have the ability to see ghosts." Geng Shudan explained, "The people who have the ability to see ghosts can be roughly divided into two categories, innate and acquired. Innate refers to being born with yin and yang. People with short-sighted eyes can still see ghosts with their naked eyes after they are out of their infancy, such as you; those who are acquired are those whose soul is too low and their souls are unstable, because they are also wandering between life and death, so they can see ghosts naturally. They are not visitors from the mortal world, such people generally have a very short lifespan.”

"Can you see Fu Jin?" Fang Xia asked.

"Unfortunately, I don't have this talent." Geng Shudan said, "I belong to the category of being unable to see. We rely on feelings and some means that allow people to temporarily see ghosts."

Fang Xia: "For example, Niu Tear?"

"This is an economical method." Geng Shudan nodded, "However, our Geng family's family education is the art of controlling ghosts. Even if we don't have the ability to see ghosts, as casters, we can see the ghosts who have successfully formed a bond. , they will follow your instructions and give you appropriate hints."

Fang Xia: "This one sounds more economical."

Geng Shudan: "No, this is more expensive than Ox's Tears. You need to prepare props to form a pact with ghosts."

Fang Xia: "..."
