under one roof

thirteen

Dark clouds in the east are overwhelming the city.

The funeral parlor was originally located on the outskirts of the city, and a few miles to the east is a wasteland. In the early years, factories were built, but they were relocated with the municipal reform, leaving only a few dilapidated factories, lonely, like the end of the world shadow.

Yang Jian wanted to take Yu Chen with him, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly asked, "What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock." Yu Chen said, "What's wrong?"

"Go back and stop them, don't cremate Li Zhaodi's body."

"Crazy?" Yu Chen exclaimed in surprise, "I must not be regarded as a psychopath? I, I have never done such a thing!"

"It depends on your ability." Yang Jian smiled at him, "Anyway, you can do it, but I can't."

"You hold a grudge too much!" Yu Chen sighed.Yang Jian snapped his fingers next to Yu Chen's ear, and then pressed the two fingers together behind his ear.

"Can you hear me?"

Yu Chen was shocked, he didn't see Yang Jian opening his mouth, but he did hear Yang Jian's voice.Yang Jian smiled faintly, as if he was happy that he had tricked Yu Chen with such a trick.He said again: "Wait for me to come back." Before Yu Chen agreed, he shook his figure and disappeared.

Yu Chen puffed up his cheeks and was choked up by Yang Jian, but he had no choice but to run back in a hurry.The memorial ceremony was over, and the staff were entrusted by Li Zhaodi's family to cremate the body before noon.

"Don't move!" Yu Chen shouted, "Don't burn it!"

The staff was surprised, and his younger brother Li Lingyuan who was standing aside pushed Yu Chen and said, "Who are you!"

"I'm your sister's colleague." Yu Chen really couldn't find any good reason, so he could only make up words, and what he said didn't sound logical at all, "You really can't burn it now, I... I'll find that Da Xian'er did the calculation for your sister, it's a bad time, it's better to burn in the afternoon."

Li Lingyuan frowned: "Where did you come from crazy! My sister is going to be cremated and you still refuse to let me go? Do you think my family is not enough?"

Yu Chen didn't have the heart to talk to him, and kept saying: "Don't burn it, or you will regret it!"

They were arguing too loudly, Mother Li, who had been crying for a long time, saw this, and thought someone was going to bully her youngest son, so she came up to stop her, but Yu Chen didn't see it, and slammed his arm on Mother Li.Li Lingyuan can bear this?Without saying a word, he punched Yu Chen, but Yu Chen didn't have time to take precautions, and threw his whole body on the coffin.There was only a sound of "bang dang", and I don't know what happened, the coffin tilted and fell to the ground, and the corpses that had been packed by the staff also rolled out.

Everyone present was shocked. The old man was superstitious, so he fell to his knees and cried, "My son! What a crime you have done! You can't live without it... Parents are useless!"

Yu Chen has never even seen a dead person, let alone such a scene.He knew that this was very disrespectful to the dead, but he had no other choice.Facing such absurd and horrifying things, Yu Chen murmured "Amitabha" a few times in his heart, and shouted: "I'll just say it! You don't even want to burn Zhaodi! How do you become parents? When she was alive, she I never thought about her, I just want to squeeze a fortune from her when I die..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Lingyuan was extremely angry, and slapped Yu Chen's face. He exerted all his strength under his anger, and Yu Chen's face instantly swelled up, with several fingerprints clearly visible.

And he seemed to be stunned by the beating, standing still in place.

The security guards came to end the farce, the mourning hall was in chaos, Li's father beat his chest and stamped his feet, Li's mother was crying unconsciously, Li Lingyuan's eyes were about to burst, looking at Yu Chen as if he wanted to peel him alive.The few of them quarreled for a long time, but the others didn't intervene, they just pointed at the side, as if watching a joke.

On this side, Yang Jian went to the meeting alone.

He rushed all the way to the eastern suburbs, standing in a wilderness, the rain soaked his clothes, and the black clouds above his head pressed down, gradually forming a vortex. Yang Jian raised his head, with one hand behind his back, his whole body seemed to be stretched. Tight bowstring, ready to go.

Suddenly, a huge scream came from the black cloud, and a flash of light slashed towards Yang Jian's face. Yang Jian jumped back, and a crack was split in the place where he stayed before, and the blue fire ignited, even the rain could not catch kill it.

Yang Jian frowned, and became 12 cautious.

There is a small hill behind the factory, which is covered by ruins. It is already late autumn, and the leaves on it have fallen long ago, revealing the criss-crossing and climbing meridians.Yang Jian pinched a curse in his hand and slowly approached, the silver bracelet exposed on his wrist lit up a faint light.

As the distance approached, Yang Jian felt a few strange energies entangled there, and faintly discerned the timid cry from the sound of rain.

Yang Jian took a closer look, and there was only one meter between the hillock and the wall of the factory building. Some of the scorched earth on the ground was not mixed into mud by the rain, and the lines of new soil could be vaguely seen on it, which turned out to be a magic circle!The small hill shades the sun and diverts water, and the wall faces east. The ravine at ten minutes before sunrise is just in the shade, which is a good place to raise ghosts.

He wanted to get closer, but suddenly his feet trembled, and a huge circle expanded outwards with him as the center, bursting out several golden rays at a time, and the rays gradually connected into a pattern, and Yang Jian saw that it was a compass.He didn't move, only to see that the 24th mountain in the inner circle began to turn slowly. After turning for about a few weeks, the square marked "A" stopped in the direction Yang Jian was facing.In Yang Jian's mind, A and Ren are lonely, and B, Gui, E, and B are all bad numbers. The compass outside started to rotate, and then stopped at "Dingmao".

The Ding of the Heavenly Stem belongs to Yin Fire, and the Mao of the Earthly Branches belongs to Yin Wood, which is a sign of great misfortune.

"Pretending to be a ghost." Yang Jian sneered, pulled his palms together, and caused the thunder to flatten the hill. The golden thread on the ground disappeared, and the light on the bracelet flickered twice, becoming much dimmer.A gap was blown out on the ground, revealing a penetrating blue light. The blue light was intertwined into a net, as if pressing something.

Ordinary people naturally can't see anything, but wherever Yang Jian can see, several ferocious dead souls bite each other and try to devour each other!And who is not Li Zhaodi?

Her transparent face had been torn to pieces long ago, and her yin energy was protruding out. Seeing Yang Jian, the ghost almost struggled to get out of the cage, but just as soon as it touched the net, it was scalded and screamed.Yang Jian couldn't bear it, and wanted to call Black and White Wuchang to take care of the funeral, and just about to cast a spell, Yu Chen's cry sounded in his mind.

"Yang Jian, help me!" he yelled, "They want to arrest me! Come back soon!"

Yang Jianxin said why are you such a waste, when he saw the dead souls in front of him suddenly burning like flames, the screams of mourning resounded through the sky.Li Zhaodi resented: "Why didn't you save me?" Black air overflowed from her mouth, and her soul body suddenly grew bigger, filling the cage to the brim.The blue line cut the soul apart, Li Zhaodi yelled in pain, other little souls collided in it, and Li Zhaodi ate them one by one.In the end, the seal of the cage was broken by her, and she scratched Yang Jian's heart with her paws. Yang Jian was distracted by Yu Chen and had no time to dodge, his chest was scorched black from being grabbed.

He had never been so embarrassed, he couldn't help being angry, he just wanted to kill this ghost, but his mana was limited, and he was injured by that ghost just now, and his hands and feet were really bound.

A series of explosions occurred in a factory in the suburbs, which alarmed the people living in the surrounding area. Someone called the police, and the police car and fire truck arrived soon. Yang Jian heard the sound from a distance, and the ghost seemed to have heard it too. Fighting, swinging his body and going into the air.

Knowing that chasing the past may not end well, Yang Jian told Black and White Impermanence about the matter and handed it over to them, then turned around and disappeared into the rain.

"Name."

"Yu...Yu Chen."

"gender."

Yu Chen glanced at the police inexplicably, and whispered, "Male."

"age."

"24."

He was held in the police station for a long time to make a record, and he was almost detained for disrupting social order by making a fuss in the funeral parlor.Fortunately, Yang Jian came to pick him up.Li Zhaodi's mother was sent to the hospital because of excessive grief, her father went to accompany her, and her younger brother cooperated with the investigation at the police station.Yu Chen sat on a chair in the corridor and waited for Yang Jian to go through the formalities. There were a lot of people talking in the bureau. He cast a glance at Li Lingyuan who was in the distance, and heard a few people next to him pointing.

"I heard that that person is the younger brother of the family whose [-] generations of ancestors were scolded on the Internet some time ago. It's the one whose sister died."

"Ah? What's going on here again?"

"Fighting. Today's cremation, I don't know why there was a fight. I'll ask later. Oh, this family is not fuel-efficient. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes."

"Anyway, it's a superb family."

Yu Chen heard it, and Li Lingyuan heard it too, and he saw Li Lingyuan clenched his fists with a fierce look on his face.

"Let's go." Yang Jian interrupted Yu Chen.Since his expression was not good, Yu Chen didn't dare to speak, and obediently followed behind Yang Jian's ass.It wasn't until he got into the car that the noise outside was cut off that Yang Jian said, "Cremation?"

"Hmm..." Yu Chen lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you." Seeing that Yu Chen's cheeks were flushed and swollen, Yang Jian looked very pitiful, he pinched Yu Chen's chin and lifted it up, making his injured side face towards him, "Who hit you?"

"Call her brother." Yu Chen said, "I don't know what to eat to grow up, my hands are really strong."

"Does it hurt?"

Yu Chen nodded.

"Oh." Yang Jian let go and started the car, "Stay with the pain."

Yu Chen was furious, but he did not complete the task assigned to him by Yang Jian, and he could only admit defeat when Yang Jian squeezed him out, and sat on the passenger seat with his head sullen.

After a long time, Yang Jian said, "I found her."

Yu Chen asked, "Where is it?"

Yang Jian said: "There is a ruin in the eastern suburbs. She was sealed together with other dead souls. When I found her, it should be when her body was cremated. I don't know why, but she was very angry. At that time, she had turned into a ghost and escaped." .”

"Then... how about that?"

"I have already informed Black and White Impermanence." Yang Jian said, "We can only wait for her to appear again."

"Will she hurt someone?"

"What do you think?" Yang Jian asked back.

"I don't think so." Yu Chen didn't have much confidence in saying this, "She was a good person when she was alive, and it shouldn't be so difficult to turn into a ghost after she dies..." He couldn't continue the next words, and Yang Jian said it was a "ghost" , Naturally, it will harm the world.

Yang Jian didn't directly kill his thoughts, but only said: "I hope." It left him with a glimmer of hope.

After returning home, Yu Chen was so tired that he was dying. After a day of tossing around, he suddenly relaxed as if he was discouraged.Yang Jian took off his coat, and unbuttoned his shirt to expose his chest. There were a few burn marks under the white cloth.

Yu Chen wanted to take a peek at the burst of spring in his eyes, but he saw the scars on Yang Jian's body and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Let her scratch it." Yang Jian said lightly, "It's okay."

Yu Chen asked: "Is the god also hurt?"

"Not only will you be injured." Yang Jian said with a smile, "You will also die."

Yu Chen asked again: "Isn't the underworld your department? Why, go through a cutscene before returning to the sky?"

"No, people have reincarnation. When a god dies, he dies, and his soul flies away."

Hearing this, Yu Chen felt chills down his spine, the amount of information was too much, his brain was almost overwhelmed, he was just about to change the subject when he heard the sound of "didi" in the bedroom.Yang Jian asked, "What's the sound?"

"Ah!" Yu Chen clapped his hands, "I forgot, I have been running the computer to calculate and analyze the data for the past few days, I guess there is a result now! Let's go and have a look."
