ghost

Early the next morning after Geng Chongzhi returned to City A, he went to the old house to visit Geng Wenqiu.

Uncle Tong, the old housekeeper of the old house, led him into the tea room on the first floor of the second courtyard. Geng Wenqiu was already waiting for him in the tea room.

Uncle Tong exited the tea room, and Geng Zhongzhi called her respectfully.

Geng Wenqiu looked up at Geng Chongzhi, pointed to the place on the other side of the tea table, and said, "Sit down."

Geng Zhongzhi sat down, Geng Wenqiu turned over a teacup and poured tea for him.

Geng Zhongzhi thanked him, took a sip of the tea in the teacup, and briefly told Geng Wenqiu what happened in City F.

Wang Ke who came back yesterday basically told her these words of Geng Zhongzhi, and now he has added some details.

"That is to say, there is someone behind the scenes stirring up the situation in the Xuanshu circle. At present, it can be confirmed that there is a ghost sect and a master of puppet art who are all accomplices of the person behind the scenes." Geng Wenqiu turned the teacup in his hand, "Do you know what the intention of the person behind the scenes is?"

"I can't see it." Geng Zhongzhi shook his head.

"Sects and aristocratic families fight each other, and the forces behind the scenes must have benefited..."

"Could it be the Bureau of Special Criminal Cases?" When it comes to the third-party forces that desperately want to intervene in the circle of profound arts, the Bureau of Special Criminal Cases is a blatant existence.

"It can't be them. What the Special Criminal Bureau wants is to maintain stability. What's the point of tossing the Xuanshu circle to fill the city with wind and rain and smog?" Geng Wenqiu glanced at Geng Zhongzhi and continued, "If you want to wait for sects and aristocratic families? Losing to both sides, recovering in one fell swoop, they are still not capable enough."

The dragon and the tiger are fighting, and both sides will suffer. What can the rabbit do?

Geng Zhongzhi coughed, and knew that his guess was impossible.

"Is it possible that the ghost sect is coming back for revenge?" The Geng family took care of the remnants of the ghost sect back then, and if they wanted revenge, they would definitely target the Geng family.In fact, the fact that the Xuanyong faction of F city and the Geng family had an enmity showed signs of targeting the Geng family. Otherwise, why would it be the Geng family who died instead of people from other families? Anyway, the effect would be the same.

"It's already confirmed that Guizongmen will participate in the forces behind the scenes, but I don't think the mastermind of that force is from Guizongmen." Geng Wenqiu pressed his eyebrows, showing a trace of fatigue on his face. She has not been in good health recently. , "If it is a member of the Guizong sect, if they want to take revenge, our Geng family may not be as simple as just killing one person."

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell? Shall I send you back to your room to rest?" Geng Zhongzhi looked at Geng Wenqiu's unhappy expression and said.

"It's okay." Geng Wenqiu waved his hand, frowned and organized his thoughts, and then said, "The forces behind the scenes have muddied the water in the Xuanshu circle, and they must want to use it to do something. It’s a start. Remember to make arrangements for the family that has no one in the side line. I’m getting old, and I don’t have the energy to take care of it too much. It’s up to you to make decisions about the Geng family’s affairs in the future.”

"Auntie, don't worry."

Geng Wenqiu took a sip of tea and changed the subject, "I heard that Fang Xia was asked to marry a ghost in F City?"

"It's the Su family in F City, who arranged a yin marriage for Su Mingsheng's grandfather, Su Wen." Geng Zhongzhi replied, "That Su Wen was a Feng Shui master before his death, and his soul has never been reincarnated after his death, so he has been borrowing luck for the Su family. Mr. Jin broke the cemetery to borrow Feng Shui, and now the Su family has suffered a backlash. I heard from Zhong Min that the two big projects that the Su family was going to sign two days ago were all ruined. The Su family is now desperately looking for a master to help them rebuild. Su Wen's grave."

"The backlash came so fast, it seems that the Su family has done a lot of immoral things." Geng Wenqiu sneered, "The fortune of the Su family has fallen so much, what about Su Wen?"

"It is said that he left with Min Xiao from the Ghost Sect."

"Su Wen... Feng Shui master..." Geng Wenqiu paused, and said to Geng Chongzhi, "Wenshi is also a Feng Shui master, so it just so happens that this Feng Shui master named Su Wen also mixed with that force, you find a way to follow Check this line. Aragonite... Our Geng family owes him an explanation."

"I've already had people watching the Su family. As soon as Su Wen comes back, we'll get the news as soon as possible." Geng Zhongzhi replied.

Geng Wenqiu nodded, "Also - let the word out, whoever dares to change the fate of the Su family will make trouble with our Geng family. It was you who asked Fang Xia to return to the Geng family. Now that he has encountered such a thing, this point You can't do it as an uncle, can you?"

"I've already let the word out. Why is Fang Xia a member of our Geng family? What the Su family did was slap our Geng family in the face. Naturally, I won't just sit idly by."

Geng Wenqiu glanced at him.

"You insist on letting Fang Xia go back to Geng's house, I can't stop it. I have no other requirements, I just hope you can look at him." Geng Wenqiu said, the corners of his lips trembled unconsciously, and he said in a hoarse voice , "Re-declaration...he is just such a child."

"I know." Geng Zhongzhi put down the tea cup he just got up from.

There are quite a few people in the Geng family fighting for power and profit, but it is absolutely forbidden for one's own family to harm one's own family. Doing so will result in being removed from the family tree.In fact, many aristocratic families have such rules, and this is also a means to ensure that the family will continue to decline from generation to generation.

Geng Chongzhi was jealous of Fang Xia's talent in mystical arts, worried that he would seize power one day, but never thought of killing him.Except for Fu Jin who needs to be suppressed—in terms of rules, Fang Xia belongs to the Geng family and cannot be moved; in terms of favors, Fang Xia is the previous head of the family—his deceased cousin Geng Zhongxuan is the only blood left in this world.

However, regardless of what Fang Xia will do one day, there is one thing that Geng Zhongzhi must pay attention to right now.

"Mr. Fu Jin has something that can be transformed into a physical body, what do you think, auntie?" Geng Zhongzhi looked at Geng Wenqiu and asked.

"What do you mean?" Geng Wenqiu asked back.

"I don't think the Geng family can lose Mr. Fu Jin."

"That's very dangerous." Geng Wenqiu glanced at Geng Zhongzhi. He, who has spent half his life in the Xuanshu circle, should know how dangerous a ghost can be.

"But Mr. Fu Jin never harmed our Geng family."

"Are you expecting the kindness of Li Gui?"

Geng Zhongzhi couldn't answer, he was silent for a while, and still insisted: "But losing Mr. Fu Jin, for our Geng family, it means losing a big support."

Geng Wenqiu sighed and compromised, "I'll talk to Fu Jin another day."

Geng Zhongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, this was his main purpose of coming to the old house today.

He could see Fu Jin, as the Patriarch of the Geng family, he was also a suitable person to talk to Fu Jin.But he failed to become Fu Jin's guardian, and he didn't get along with Fu Jin much, so he couldn't figure out what Fu Jin was thinking, so Geng Wenqiu, who had suppressed Fu Jin for decades, had more experience in dealing with it.

Around the time when Geng Zhongzhi left the Geng family's old house, Fang Xia and Fu Jin finished breakfast near the rented house and planned to go to the supermarket to buy something.

Not far from where Fang Xia lived, there was a large supermarket. Fang Xia was walking towards the supermarket while being led by Fu Jin, while talking on the phone with Geng Shudan.

Geng Shudan accepted a commission, but he is not in City A now.

"So, I think ghost questioning is not as powerful as fortune-telling and deduction. Then Gu Yin could roughly know where Min Xiao was at that time by calculation. I asked Youhun for a long time, and I was lucky enough to meet someone who just knew." Fang Xia said to Geng Shudan on the other end of the phone, "I want to learn gossip deduction, do you have any books on this?"

"Yes, but I don't know how, so I can't teach you." Geng Shudan on the other end of the phone said unhappily, "Besides, the deduction technique is different from ordinary mystical techniques, and it requires too much basic knowledge. Save it, you can't chew as much as you want!"

"But wouldn't Gu Yin know it?"

"That guy is a geek in the Xuanshu circle. He knows so many things. You can't finish it in two lifetimes." After Geng Shudan finished speaking, he asked Fang Xia, "What are you going to do next?"

"When Geng Zhongzhi sends me the greeting card, I'll go to Wang's house to have a look."

The Wang family is an aristocratic family in today's mystical circle that uses puppet art as their family tradition.

Speaking of invitations, Fang Xia couldn't help complaining again, "The aristocratic families in the Xuanshu circle are really troublesome. They even ask for invitations when they come to visit. What era is this?"

"When you become a big shot in the Xuanshu circle, your name will be in the newspaper." Geng Shudan smiled, "Anyway, be careful and don't mess around. In a few days, it will be the Ghost Festival in July and a half. Don't wander around in strange places. That's it, I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first. "

Fang Xia finished talking with Geng Shudan, put the phone back in his pocket, and they just arrived at the entrance of the supermarket.

It's past eight o'clock, the summer sun has risen, and the wave of customers who came to the supermarket to buy vegetables early has already left, so there are not many people in the supermarket.

Pushing the cart, Fang Xia walked around the supermarket with Fu Jin, while chatting about Gu Yin who had just mentioned to Geng Shudan.

"I really can't finish learning Gu Yinhui's things in two lifetimes? Is it that exaggerated?" Fang Xiaban lay on the handle of the cart, Fu Jin walked beside the cart, stretched out his hand to poke his lower back, and muttered asked.

Fu Jin grabbed Fang Xia's mischievous hand and held it, "You don't need to compare with Gu Yin, he has memories of several lifetimes, so naturally he knows more."

"Did he forget to drink Mengpo soup before reincarnation?" Fang Xia showed a surprised expression.

"There is no such thing as Mengpo soup." Fu Jin said, "The soul reincarnates, and after crossing the Yin River, it will naturally forget the previous life. Gu Yin must have used something to retain the memory of the previous life."

"I'll ask him later what he used, and I'll find a way to find one too." Fang Xia shook the hand held by Fu Jin, "I don't want to forget you."

Fu Jin grasped Fang Xia's hand slightly, and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Fang Xia and Fu Jin walked around the supermarket, bought vegetables for lunch and dinner, and some daily necessities, and then went to the cashier to queue up to pay.

There were three people in line in front of them. After Fang Xia stretched his neck and counted the people in line, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the colorful boxes in front of the cashier.

Fang Xia took a few glances, then turned to look at Fu Jin.

Should he buy a few boxes to keep on hand?He felt that he and Fu Jin could use it anytime.Why don't you buy some first, so that you can use it when you raid Fu Jin?I just don't know what flavor Fu Jin likes...

"What's wrong?" Fu Jin looked at the two cartons of milk with the production date and put them back into the cart, then turned to ask Fang Xia.

"It's okay, just take a look." Fang Xia said, his eyes drifted to the side.

From this look, it can be seen that something is wrong.

Fang Xia didn't want to say it, and Fu Jin didn't force it either. Anyway, with Fang Xia's personality, he would soon know what he was trying to hide.

The person in front paid the bill, and the queue became two people.

"Cough!" Fang Xia cleared his throat, and pushed Fu Jin, "You go outside and wait for me first, I will come out after paying the money."

Fu Jin obeyed Fang Xia's intention and walked out from the no-shopping aisle first.

Fang Xia watched as Fu Jin walked a certain distance, and reached out to take two boxes of condoms and lubricating oil from the shelf next to the cash register.Thinking that Fu Jin didn't know what flavor he liked, he hesitated for a while, then reached out to grab a few more boxes.

It was Fang Xia's turn to pay the bill.

After paying the bill, Fang Xia just divided the things into two bags, and Fu Jin just walked over.

Fu Jin reached out to help Fang Xia carry the bag, Fang Xia stuffed the bag with vegetables to Fu Jin, and hid the bag with the condom behind her back.

Fu Jin glanced at the plastic bag behind Fang Xia, and felt that the outlines of those things were a little strange, not like any of the things they had picked out before.

"What did you buy again?" Fu Jin asked as she followed Fang Xia out.

"It's nothing." Fang Xia looked at Fu Jin very sincerely, "I just bought a few boxes of chewing gum."

The author has something to say:

-

Fang Xia: Look at my sincere eyes, I really just bought a few boxes of chewing gum!

Fu Jin: What flavor?

Fang Xia: What, what flavor?I didn't buy anything weird!

Fu Jin: I was asking about the flavor of the chewing gum, what are you talking about?

Fang Xia: I'm also talking about chewing gum!
