After inheriting the antique shop

Yin Qian and Xu Chengyin went to a private restaurant and asked for a private room.

Xu Chengyin touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "Let Director Yin spend money, I will invite you next time."

This means that there is another appointment.

Yin Gan was quite happy, nodded with a smile, and said thoughtfully: "Let's talk about it after you receive Luo Dingjun's order."

After receiving Luo Dingjun's order, he should have spare money.

The first impression Yin Qian gave to other people was that he was a rich and elegant handsome guy, exuding a different kind of charm in every gesture, really like what Nianhua said—like a peacock.

Xu Chengyin admitted that, apart from other things, Yin Qian's appearance really attracted him.

Not that kind of attraction, but the kind of attraction that wants to make friends with him.

Xu Chengyin was embarrassed to order expensive ones, but just ordered a few random items for a symbolic purpose, and then sat dryly, trying to find something to talk about so that it would not be so embarrassing.

It was Yin Gan who spoke first: "I haven't been scared these few days."

"It's okay." Xu Chengyin said the truth, "At first I really felt that... But maybe I'm too brave. It's not up to me to decide if I can see ghosts. It's like spying into another world. In fact, I think those Ghosts are not that scary, just like Xiao Yu, after all, they were also human beings in life."

Yin Gan smiled: "There is a Buddha in your heart, everything you see is Buddha, and everywhere is Bodhi. No wonder you have such a Buddha-nature. But you do not have the roots of Buddhist wisdom, and it is really rare that you can have such a strong Buddha-nature. "

"To be honest, I can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing." Xu Chengyin said helplessly, "My life was normal before, but ever since I was able to see this, I always feel that my life is going on a different track. "

"Well, I originally wanted to invite you to join the Ghost Bureau, but now you probably won't immediately agree."

If Huo Chan is here, I am afraid that he will have a new understanding of the double standard of his boss just like Nianhua.

It was so straightforward to refuse him to recruit new people before, but now he took the initiative to invite someone, and it was Xu Chengyin who invited him.

Xu Chengyin was obviously surprised: "Me?"

Yin Qian: "Don't underestimate yourself, have you forgotten that you just subdued the ghost?"

"It's really not good, I still have a store." Xu Chengyin never thought about such a thing, so he refused without thinking.

"Of course, joining is voluntary, and I won't force you." Yin Gan said so, but his expression didn't mean to give up at all, "Our Spirit Bureau is special, we are civil servants, we have to perform public duties according to law, Incorporated into the national administrative establishment, wages and benefits are the financial burden of the state, but no examination is required."

"Of course I know that your major is information and communication engineering. With your professional ability, you must have a bright future. However, although our monthly salary is mediocre, there will be bonuses for every task we handle, and there will be extra large sums of money allocated every year. There are not many people in the Spirit and Monster Bureau, and everyone can get this number when divided equally."

Yin Qian compared a number with his hands, and Xu Chengyin tried to say a high price.

Yin Gan withdrew his hand: "Add another zero."

Xu Chengyin: "..."

Yin Qian: "It's just an extra appropriation, it can be considered as the daily expenses of the Ghost Bureau, not including salary bonuses and year-end."

Yin Qian had a look of regret at this time: "The treatment of the ghost bureau is good. In the past, most of them had nothing to do on weekdays. Recently, they are busy because of things happening together. Now that society is developing rapidly, monsters also have to eat, and the wages are high. It's a leisurely thing, and a lot of monsters want to come in."

Xu Chengyin looked at Shang Yingan with deep meaning in his eyes, and said sincerely, "I will think about it."

If you don't feel moved, are you still human? !

No matter what, as long as you give money, you can say anything.

Yin Qian seemed to have expected his reaction a long time ago, and his expression remained unchanged: "Then I will wait for the result of your consideration. If you have made up your mind, please feel free to contact me."

Yin Qian said and pushed the ice cream dessert that was just served to Xu Chengyin's direction: "Actually, I have another matter with you this time, which is related to the previous case."

Xu Chengyin was not polite either. He dug a spoonful and said while eating, "Have you caught the murderer?"

Yin Gan shook his head: "The murderer hasn't been caught yet, but other things have been found out."

Xu Chengyin listened attentively, and Yin Gan slowly said: "20 years ago, Xu Kang and I had a relationship in Huiyin Temple. At that time, I came to Huiyin Temple to hunt down the viper that escaped after making trouble in the world. He was here to practice Zen. He also worked hard to catch Viper, so the Monster Bureau registered him in the Ghost Book of Yuncheng, and was under the jurisdiction and protection of the Monster Bureau. After all, Xiping people are in a special situation. Their appearance is the same as ordinary people, but they have more or less differences. As for ordinary people's abilities, Xu Kang's information shows that he is a descendant of Dream Demon and Alien Demon."

"The strange monsters are the most human-like monsters, and they are also considered to be the most inherited monsters. They don't know how to cultivate, don't know how to spell, and their life span is the same as that of ordinary people, but their memories can be passed down from generation to generation, and some inherit the memories of a lifetime. Sometimes it is the memory of one or two days of one generation... that is to say, the most pure blooded alien monsters should more or less have some memories of their lineage of alien monsters from ancient times to the present."

Xu Chengyin was stunned when he heard this: "You mean my grandfather has the memories of his ancestors?"

Yin Qian shook his head: "Xu Kang's bloodline is not particularly pure, he only inherited the memory of one generation before he was about 20 years old, the strange demon of that generation lived at the end of the Great Yin Dynasty thousands of years ago, and was also from Xiping County... The rumored real Xiping County."

Yin Gan said "Oh" as if he remembered something: "At that time, your grandfather thought he was reborn to modern times after death, and he was only thinking about restoring Xiping. I think it's quite interesting."

Xu Chengyin: "..."

No wonder the store is named Yixiping.

"Of course, this is the blood of the alien demon. Your grandfather still has the ability of the dream demon, which he discovered later." Yin Qian changed the subject, "Create dreams."

Xu Chengyin: "Huh?"

what?

This is completely invisible. From Xu Chengyin's point of view, Xu Kang is just an ordinary little old man. He didn't expect that he was not only from Xiping, but also a mixed race.

"They are different from nightmare beasts. Nightmare beasts feed on dreams and are based on energy. In comparison, dream monsters are just small monsters. However, some dream monsters can simply make people dream, and some dream monsters can create monsters that make people dream. People can't tell the difference between real and fake dreams..."

Yin Gan's voice paused, and then slowly said to Xu Chengyin: "This will affect people's memory."

The smile on Xu Chengyin's face gradually disappeared: "What do you mean?"

"Do you feel that there is something wrong?"

Yin Qian still doesn't know what Xu Kang's ability can do. If he can really affect the memory, has he really not tampered with the memory of this grandson who gets along day and night?

Xu Chengyin was silent.

Of course there are.

He felt that something was very wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Once he learned that Xu Kang possessed this ability, Xu Chengyin felt inclined that his memory had been altered, but then he thought: Maybe he had a preconceived idea?

Maybe his grandfather is really just an ordinary dream monster who at most makes you have good dreams at night?

Yin Qian: "The ancient knife stolen by the Cultural Relics Administration was identified as from the Great Yin Dynasty, and this cultural relic was excavated in a small town in Kong County."

Every time Yin Qian said a word, Xu Chengyin's premonition became stronger.

Yin Gan continued: "We found someone to hack into Xue Xunlong's computer and found an unfinished thesis of him. During the Great Yin Dynasty, this area was undeveloped, and it was considered a barbaric land. There are not many records, but the unofficial history It was mentioned that there used to be Xiping Town, and there was a tribe in Xiping Town that formed its own country. Although I didn’t elaborate, this tribe should refer to the people of Xiping. So Xue Xunlong began to study Xiping culture.”

Yin Qian: "And then he died. The other party took away all the achievements of Xue Xunlong's research on Xiping, and even wanted to destroy it. It seems that they don't want too many people to know the existence of Xiping."

Yin Gan continued: "It's actually not difficult to understand. That place is remote, and most of the people in Xiping are of mixed blood. The officials sent by the local court couldn't do anything to them. They were unwilling to submit to others, so they seemed to be their own country at that time. It's not without reason."

Xu Chengyin quickly figured out a lot of things, and slowly said, "So you want me to join the Ghost Bureau to keep me under your nose. Because you think my memory is affected by grandpa, and grandpa has the memory of a real Xiping person However, the murderer didn't want Xiping to be exposed to others, so they may have a relationship, and I may also have a relationship with the murderer, so he will be lenient to me, right?"

Yin Qian wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and acquiesced.

Xu Chengyin smiled, not as angry as Yin Gan imagined, but instead said: "It's okay, I understand, after all, you are also trying to maintain the order of Yuncheng, and now I can't answer many of your questions, because I am not sure whether what I said is true or not. real."

"Meng Yao's dream is not incomprehensible, as long as you clearly realize that the previous memories are all false. Again, before the matter is concluded, please contact me and provide help at any time. I don't know him yet. What does it matter to you, I will send someone to protect you secretly."

It sounds nice, but anyone who understands it understands that this protection is more or less in the nature of surveillance.

In fact, Yin Qian can basically confirm that Xu Chengyin's memory is problematic, because it stands to reason that such a strong Buddha nature should not appear in ordinary people. Since he has such a strong Buddha nature, he will definitely meet ghosts and gods.

But it can only be seen after Xu Kang's soul returns to the west, which in itself is very doubtful.

But it depends on Xu Chengyin himself, only Xu Chengyin firmly believes that there is something wrong with his memory.

Xu Chengyin knew that he had become an important clue right now, and no matter what the other party said, he would not let him go, so he readily responded: "Okay."

"Of course, this matter is still doubtful." Yin Gan slapped another sweet date, and slowed down his tone, "There are only a handful of dream monsters who can make dreams affect memories with false ones, let alone people of mixed blood like Xiping people. "

Xu Chengyin didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yin Qian had been observing Xu Chengyin calmly, now he changed the subject and asked, "Have we never met before?"

"Maybe." Xu Chengyin replied sincerely, "I always feel like old friends at first sight."
