ghost

Fang Xia and Fu Jin finished dinner in the hotel restaurant, and it was already dark outside.The street lamps on the sidewalk, the neon lights of various stores, and the decorative lights of the green belts are lit up one after another, outlining the unique bustling scene of a big city at night.

And in this interlacing of light and shadow, the ghosts and monsters that ordinary people can't see also start to wander around.

Fang Xia took Fu Jin to look for wandering souls outside the hotel.He didn't go very far, walked around the hotel Fu Jin, and finally found a wandering spirit near the back door of a 24-hour convenience store on a small road not far behind the hotel.

It was an elderly lady, wandering on the path with a cane.It's a very ordinary wandering soul, with a transparent body and almost invisible. If it weren't for Fang Xia's good eyesight, maybe the other party would not notice it if he floated past.

[You called me? ] The old lady stopped and turned her head to look at Fang Xia.

"Grandma, I want to ask you something." Fang Xia folded two ingots with a yellow talisman and burned them to the old lady.

The old lady turned to look at Fu Jin beside Fang Xia, showing hesitation.

Fu Jin took a step back and stood behind Fang Xia.The wandering old lady just floated towards Fang Xia, raised her hand and grabbed two handfuls in the air, and took the ingot that Fang Xia burned to her.

[Young man, what do you want to ask? ]

"Grandma, have you heard of the Xuanyong School?" Fang Xia asked.

The wandering old lady shook her head.

He thought so too, the Xuanyong Sect is a sect that raises ghosts, and if he really had contact with the Xuanyong Sect, he might never meet this old lady.Fang Xia scratched her face, feeling a little stupid for asking this question.

"Cough! Then you've heard of something special, terrible, or strange happening in City F?" Fang Xia thought for a while, then asked.

[No, never heard of it. ] The old lady shook her head.

Fang Xia was a little disappointed, but this situation was within his expectation.If it was possible to pull a few wandering souls along the road and find out what was wrong with the Xuanyong Sect, then the relationship between the Xuanyong Sect and the Ghost Sect would have been clearly investigated long ago.After all, many people in the mystical arts circle stared at this sect, and asking ghosts is not a difficult spell.

Fang Xia knew that this would be the result, but she still did it, it was just a fluke mentality of seeing a blind cat and a dead mouse.However, it turns out that dead rats are not so easy to come across.

With that in mind, Fang Xia folded another ingot out of yellow paper, intending to send away the wandering old lady in front of her.

[However, something happened recently that made me very angry! ] The wandering old lady said suddenly.

Fang Xia just lit the lighter, intending to light ingots for a while, let go of the hand holding the lighter, looked at the old lady and asked: "What's the matter?"

[Did you see that hotel? ] The wandering old lady raised her finger and pointed in the direction behind Fang Xia.

Fang Xia turned his head, looked in the direction the old lady was pointing, and found that the old lady was pointing to the hotel where he was staying.

"See, what's wrong with that hotel?" Fang Xia regained consciousness.

[The owner of that hotel is not a nice person! ]

"How to say?"

[Just at the end of last month, the owner of the hotel worshiped his ancestors and asked the master to exorcise the evil spirits from the hotel!Drive out all the lonely ghosts hiding inside! ] The old lady stomped her crutches, [then took the souls of their ancestors in, and now the hotel has become their ancestors' territory, and we wandering souls can't go in at will! ]

There is a saying that the soul of the dead has a yin house in the yang world.

With descendants as sacrifices, the souls of the ancestors can have a mansion to live in in the yang world.For example, cemeteries, without the permission of the owner of the tomb, lonely ghosts are not allowed to enter without permission; another example is the house where the ancestors are enshrined, as long as the ancestors have not been reincarnated, other ghosts are also not allowed to enter without permission.Of course, these rules have no effect on powerful ghosts and ghosts.The enshrined ancestral souls are stronger than ordinary wandering souls, but they are still ordinary ghosts, and their power cannot be compared with that of ghosts and ghosts.

Fang Xia looked at the old lady wandering soul and twitched the corners of her mouth.

"...Maybe he wants to invite his ancestors to come over and see the achievements of his descendants." And that hotel is not the place for you wandering souls in the first place!

Although most people just say a few words when worshiping their ancestors at home, telling them that they will not invite their dead souls into their own establishments, but this does not stop there are always some people with strange ideas in this world.

[I don't know when the ancestor of the boss's family will leave. My granddaughter works there, and it is not convenient to go to see her. ]

Fang Xia: "..." After talking for a long time, it turns out that the main point is this!

The old lady wandering soul complained to Fang Xia, repeatedly, the Su family hired a master to exorcise evil spirits in the hotel under the Su family, and cleared the place for their ancestors of the Su family, so that these wandering souls lost their sense of purity. land.Fang Xia heard his head buzzing, added two ingots, and sent the nagging old lady away.

Seeing the wandering old lady drifting away, Fang Xia heaved a sigh of relief, turned her head and said to Fu Jin, "So, the ghost we saw when we came out of the elevator was actually the dead soul of the ancestor of the Su family?"

[should be. ] Thinking of the ghost wearing the Chinese tunic suit of the Republic of China, Fu Jin couldn't help frowning slightly. The ghost didn't feel very good to him.

After a person dies, not to mention those lonely ghosts who have no place to return, but the dead souls who accept the offerings of the descendants can stay in the yang world for different periods of time. They suffer from the erosion of yang energy in the yang world. For the souls of the dead, this is the limit, almost none can last more than ten years.And the ghost in the Chinese tunic suit is obviously not like an ordinary dead soul.He should have been in the mortal world for nearly a hundred years, but he showed no signs of dissipating at all, and the degree of solidification of his soul was far higher than that of ordinary dead souls.

Fu Jin told Fang Xia about this.

Fang Xia moved closer to Fu Jin's side, allowing himself to stand side by side with Fu Jin, "I have you here! You have broken into his territory, and he didn't dare to do anything to you, obviously because he was afraid of you." of."

[I just remind you. ]

"If I don't provoke him, I will provoke you." Fang Xia tilted her head to look at Fu Jin.

[Well, you were very successful at provoking. ]

Fang Xia's face was reddish, she turned her gaze away, and saw Fu Jin seriously responding to his teasing, which always gave him an urge to push the other party.

"To investigate the Xuanyong faction, we may really have to catch a few ghosts raised by the Xuanyong faction according to the suggestion of the heir of the Gu family." Fang Xia walked out of the path and walked towards the hotel, "However, in the abandoned factory Similarly, I clearly caught those two evil spirits with the ghost-controlling technique, but the two evil spirits were scattered by Zou Wumang's prior technique. At the same time as seeing the ghost, I am not sure about disabling the spell on the ghost, the heir of the Gu family overestimated me."

[He didn't overestimate you, you just need some time. ]

"But there is no time for me to continue practicing now." Fang Xia thought for a while, and finally decided, "Forget it, I brought the magic weapon and the ghost together. Without the medium of the magic weapon, the magic of the ghost is natural. It can't be triggered."

Fu Jin: […]

Fang Xia returned to the hotel and continued to look through the rune templates that he hadn't finished reading before.

The rune template that Geng Shudan gave him didn't have many runes on it, but the runes themselves were complicated, and it took a lot of time just to memorize them.If you memorize it well, you have to learn to draw. It needs to be proficient in one go, and it takes a lot of time.Although Fang Xia learned quickly with his talent, it still took a long time.

At eight o'clock, the hotel attendant came and rang the doorbell.

Fang Xia opened the door, and the waiter standing at the door smiled and handed him a square gift box, "Hello, this is the anniversary of our hotel, a small gift for guests staying in the hotel, please accept it."

Fang Xia took the gift box, and then glanced at the small trolley next to the waiter. It was full of small gift boxes like the one in his hand, and it was obviously going to be given to other hotel guests next.

"When did your event start? I didn't see that there would be gifts when I booked the room." Fang Xia asked.

"It just started today and will last for three days."

"What's in it?" Fang Xia gently shook the gift box in his hand.

"It's a new pastry from Su's pastry shop."

"Thanks, I happen to be a little hungry."

Seeing off the waiter, Fang Xia closed the door and walked into the room with a gift box containing snacks.

"Fu Jin, come and have some snacks."

The pastries sent by the hotel come in a box of nine, and they taste surprisingly good.Fang Xia decided to ask the hotel waiter tomorrow where the shop that sells this kind of dim sum is, and he planned to buy two more boxes.

After 11 o'clock, Fang Xia took a shower and went to bed.As usual, Fu Jin sat by the bed and guarded Fang Xia.

Tonight Fang Xia's sleeping appearance was very honest, and she lay down peacefully on her back after she fell asleep, without the usual tricks of rolling around.Fu Jin looked at Fang Xia who was sleeping soundly, and frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

After midnight, at exactly 1 o'clock, in the corridor of the hotel outside the room, there was the sound of a band beating gongs and drums, playing wedding music, but there was also a sad tone of suona in the middle.

It's the welcoming team for Yin marriages!

Fu Jin looked towards the door of the room.

Marriage of the dead is a yin marriage, also known as a dark marriage.

In a yin marriage, both parties are married by the deceased, and the yin marriage welcoming team goes back and forth between the tombs of both parties.But the yin marriage welcome team came to a place like a hotel, apparently to marry a living person.

The wedding band rang outside the door for a while, and then a thin and shrill female voice shouted loudly: [Welcome——]

Fu Jin stared at Fang Xia closely.

[Welcome relatives——]

The female ghost outside shouted again.

Fu Jin's pupils tightened suddenly, and he saw Fang Xia's living soul floating out of his body, and he sat up slowly, staring blankly at the front.

[Welcome relatives——]

Fang Xia's soul floated up from the bed and walked towards the hotel door.

[Fang Xia! ] Fu Jin stood up suddenly, he wanted to reach out to hold Fang Xia, but he was afraid that the yin energy in his body would hurt Fang Xia's soul.A living soul that has been injured will never return to its body.

Fang Xia's living soul paused, then continued to walk out unsteadily.

When the dead marry a living person, they will send marriage stickers and tablets to the living person in advance.If a living person takes over, the yin marriage wedding team will come to the door to marry, bring the soul of the living person, and go to the cemetery of the dead to get married.

But Fang Xia Mingming never received the marriage stickers and tablets——

Thinking of this, Fu Jin's gaze suddenly turned and landed on the dim sum gift box on the desk.

Fu Jin quickly walked towards the desk, and his figure quickly turned into a real body.

Fu Jin walked to the desk, took out the five cakes that Fang Xia had left for him in the box, and poured out what was on the bottom of the box.

A marriage sticker with white paper and red letters on it, with a photo of Fang Xia and the man in the tunic suit, a set of paper-cut wedding dresses, and a palm-sized jade tablet with the words "Su Wen's position" engraved on it.

The ghost didn't dare to approach Fang Xia himself, but borrowed the hand of a living person to send a marriage sticker and tablet.

"Su Wen..." The jade tablet turned into dust, Fu Jin's eyes were gloomy and cold, his brows and eyes were frosty, and evil spirit loomed on his body.

Fu Jin walked to the bed, put clothes on Fang Xia on the bed, picked her up gently, and took another coat to cover Fang Xia.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring you back soon." Fu Jin planted a kiss on Fang Xia's forehead, and carried him out of the room.
