Different pupils

Lin Haoren thought of something, and said again: "Then you said earlier that five ancient relics were missing..."

"In that batch of ancient relics, only five things disappeared, and they are likely to be similar to the Soul Melting Cauldron, and they are all magic weapons left by the sect." Xing Tianlu said, "There is a wild ghost in the Soul Melting Cauldron, which has been killed. Three lives were lost, if other things are also problematic..."

Xing Yu said solemnly: "The consequences are unpredictable."

Lin Haoren frowned: "Is there any whereabouts of those things now? Since the Soul Melting Cauldron disappeared, why did it appear in the principal's hands again?"

"We have already asked the principal about this matter." Xing Yu said, "The things were given to him by others. We followed the clues he provided to investigate a guy who specializes in piracy business. He gave a list of gifts, which did not include Soul Cauldron."

Lin Haoren was startled: "What does this mean? He didn't send it?"

"No." Xing Tianlu said word by word, "So, the Soul Melting Cauldron appeared in the principal's hands, and the principal mistakenly thought it was given by someone else."

Missing artifacts, automatically appearing in someone's hand - is this random?still……

"Dead objects have no thoughts." Xing Yu seemed to know what Lin Haoren was thinking, and explained, "Unless there is sexual control, or... this object has some kind of connection with someone. It's hard to say."

"What about the other things?" Lin Haoren asked.

"I don't know what it is, so I can't find it." Xing Tianlu said, "I asked those tomb robbers. At that time, they hadn't counted them, and they didn't have time to take pictures. I just know that the number is not right. I can remember the Soul Melting Cauldron because Only it's broken."

Lin Haoren raised his heart, it would be such a trouble if only one thousand-year-old ghost came out, if there were a few more...

"Fortunately, even if there are other thousand-year-old lonely souls, after such a long time, they will either be out of their wits when they come out, or they will be too weak to do much for the time being." Xing Yu comforted him, "After all, not every ghost Such good luck, to meet a principal who happened to be raising a demigod, and made this kind of oolong."

This is true.

Lin Haoren heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: After all, humans and ghosts travel different ways. Ordinary ghosts can't touch anything and can't possess people at will. It should be fine for the time being.

"Although there is no serious problem for the time being, it will be hard to tell after a long time." Xing Yu looked at Lin Haoren seriously, and said, "The only ones who can communicate with yin and yang are the two of us, and we can find those things faster than others Much faster. Do you have the heart to ignore this talent and be an ordinary person?"

Lin Haoren: "..."

He knew that it must be a trap to insist on letting him come to the Xing family.

Lin Haoren was expressionless: "I don't know anything, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"It's okay, you learn quickly, I can teach you."

"...Why don't you ask the underworld for help?"

"They're also very busy, they don't even care about the guys in the cauldron, so what can we expect from them?"

"..."

Lin Haoren fell into silence, hesitating to speak, he couldn't make up his mind.

Xing Tianlu said: "As for your other two questions, the ghost guard doesn't care about the wild ghost... It's inconvenient to call it like this, so I named it Old A."

Lin Haoren: "..." I see, if you encounter such lonely ghosts in the future, they will be called old B, old C, old D, right?

It's really a simple, rude and efficient naming method.

"There is a problem with the book of life and death in the underworld. It is in chaos now, and even the souls of the living have gone wrong. Naturally, these thousand-year-old ghosts have no time to deal with." Xing Tianlu said, "According to the previous procedures, this thousand-year-old ghost is There are special ghost messengers to escort it. The world calls it the 'Night Tour God', and it is one of the ten handsome ghosts."

When Lin Haoren wrote supernatural stories, he naturally knew the top ten handsome men, but he thought it was a legend made up by the world.

"There are really ten handsome men?"

"Of course." Xing Yu laughed, "Legends always have a source, but some of them are passed on and changed beyond recognition."

There is not only one Night Tour God, it has sixteen brothers and sisters, who only patrol at night, alternately with the "Day Tour Patrol" to supervise the world during the day and night, inspect the good and evil in the world, and record all the things in the world, That booklet is also called "Yesi Book". If it is on the list, it will bring bad luck on weekdays, and even implicate family members, and it will not be easy after death.

Xing Tianlu nodded slightly, and said, "Your third question is what I want to ask. Where is the kid who knew old A now?"

"I don't know." Lin Haoren shook his head, "Since I let him go, he hasn't appeared again."

Xing Tianlu frowned: "When did it follow you?"

"Maybe... half a year ago." Lin Haoren recalled, "One day I went out to pick up a courier and ran into it at the gate of the community. It was very hungry at the time, and I couldn't bear to see it, so I burned something for it. "

After that, the kid seemed to recognize him, begging for food in front of him every day.

"It's not a starving ghost, but it's very gluttonous?" Xing Yu thought for a while, "Ordinary lonely and wild ghosts have forgotten their past events and have no obsession with anything. Ghosts don't feel hungry, so they shouldn't be angry. Food has too many demands."

Xing Yu and Xing Tianlu looked at each other, and murmured: "Unless it is because it really needs..."

Lin Haoren was puzzled: "What do you need?"

"Just like old A using the yin-gathering array to enhance the power of the soul, it needs food to replenish some kind of strength." Xing Yu said.

Lin Haoren was taken aback for a moment, he never felt any malice in the little ghost, nor did he feel that it was hiding any conspiracy.

The way it looks at the food is like a little starving ghost. If you ignore its black mouth, big white-less eyes and pale face when eating, it looks cute.

"It shouldn't be malicious," Xing Yu comforted Lin Haoren, "otherwise it can choose the same method as old A. Since you can see it, it can take advantage of you. But it only needs to eat... Food is relatively soul-friendly. The power that can be replenished is very limited. At best, it can be maintained so that it will not be dissipated."

"Maybe it knows something we don't." Xing Tianlu said, "If we meet it again, can we keep it?"

"I asked it, but it didn't say anything." Lin Haoren said, "And it's hard to communicate with them..."

"Of course we have a special way to ask spirits." Xing Tianlu laughed, "I can let Xing Yu teach you."

Lin Haoren felt that the amount of information this day was overwhelming, his mind was ignorant, and he didn't want to take care of it for a while, so he was led by Xing Yu to sit in the garden and bask in the sun for a while.

The cold air woke him up a bit. Looking down from the mountain, the shade of the trees was lush and green, and there were large withered yellow leaves in the distance, and there were some red maples. The colors were progressive, like ink paintings from light to dark, very beautiful.

The housekeeper brought refreshments, and Xing Yu poured black tea for him, saying: "Eat less, I won't be able to eat dinner later."

Lin Haoren stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said absent-mindedly: "We don't even know what things look like, so what if we can see them? How can we find them?"

Xing Yu helped him choose a piece of strawberry mousse, and said gently: "Don't think about it now, you can think about it slowly, I will give you time." He stretched out three fingers, "I'll give you three days to think about it."

Lin Haoren looked at him warily: "What about three days later?"

"If you don't agree, I will tie you back."

"..."

"Just kidding." Xing Yu leaned back in the chair, a white Persian cat walked over with its fluffy tail upright, jumped onto his lap and sat down.

Xing Yu hooked his fingers, scratched the cat's ears and then scratched along the cheeks to the chin. The cat narrowed its eyes comfortably, raised its head slightly, moved its nose slightly, and purred from its throat, looking very comfortable.

Lin Haoren couldn't help looking at his fingers, always feeling that his ears and chin were itchy.

"Let me introduce you, Yuan Bao." Xing Yu said, "One year and three months old, he is a little brother."

The little brother looks like a little sister, with round and big eyes that look like eyeliner has been drawn on the edges. His coat is long and soft, and his body is snow-white. His glass ball-like eyeballs are slightly green, and his pupils become slender and sharp under the sun.

It wasn't very afraid of people, it meowed and licked its paws, then turned around and licked its tail hair, its ears quivered, and looked at Lin Haoren.

"Do you want to touch it? It has a good temper."

Lin Haoren had never raised small animals before, so Xing Yu held Yuanbao and put it into Lin Haoren's arms. The two got very close for a moment, so close that they could hear each other's breathing. Xing Yu turned his head slightly, and his lips almost brushed against Lin Haoren's face.

Lin Haoren hugged the cat and backed away calmly: "You raised it?"

"My mother raised it." Xing Yu said, "At first I wanted to name it Yiyi, but they said it was too vulgar, so I decided on Yuanbao."

Lin Haoren: "..."

Yuan Bao was really well-behaved, with his front paws resting on Lin Haoren's chest, he raised his head and sniffed, probably because of the warmth in his arms, he lay down quickly and steadily, curled up in a ball, with his tail resting on his paws, snoring in his throat He squinted his eyes and prepared to rest.

Lin Haoren didn't dare to move, seeing Xing Yu took out his phone to take pictures, he said in embarrassment, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Take a picture." Xing Yu couldn't help laughing, "Smile, I feel like you're going to throw the cat away in a second."

Lin Haoren: "..."

Lin Haoren couldn't smile, his expression was stiff, his eyes were hanging down, he had a cat in his arms, and there was black tea and strawberry mousse in front of him, which looked very strange.

Xing Yu was so happy that he stared at the photo for a long time, and set it as a wallpaper.

At dinner, Lin Haoren met the head of the Xing family and his wife - Xing Tianhu and Li Shuangyue.

"My mother originally had twin sisters." Xing Yu sat on the seat and said in a low voice, "In the end, she died at birth. Originally, the names of Li Shuang and Li Yue were decided, so they were simply put together."

Lin Haoren was very moved by the feeling that he was carrying two people's lives on his back.

Xing Tianhu was tall and strong, although his appearance was very similar to Xing Yu's, but he was even bolder and bolder.He had a beard and was wearing a Tang suit. He helped his wife open the chair before calling everyone to sit down.

Standing next to him, Li Shuangyue looked much petite and exquisite. She was wearing a peacock green cheongsam, her long black hair was coiled up, light makeup, and a set of pearl jewelry, very elegant and gentle.

She looked at Lin Haoren and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Lin, right? He is said to be two years older than our Yu'er? I don't think it looks the same? She looks younger than Yu'er."

Lin Haoren was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Mr. Xing, Mrs. Xing."

"Hey, good." Li Shuangyue looks very well maintained, with beautiful facial features and fair skin, she raised her finger, "Let's eat. If you have a guest today, treat it as if you are at home, be casual."

Only then did the uncles and cousins ​​present move their chopsticks, and there was no sound during the banquet, and no one spoke casually.
