After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The coffin trembled, was lifted up, and swayed forward.

The talisman paper was unusable for some reason, Lu Yingjiu vigorously knocked on the coffin wall, and there was a dull thumping sound.

Useless.

It didn't help at all.

There was a lot of yin around him, and he quickly judged that he couldn't open the coffin with his current state.

Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath, calmed down and conserved his energy, and quietly listened to the movement outside.

It was still the noisy beating of gongs and drums, other than that, there was no human voice.The coffin swayed forward, as if it had flowed through a small river, went up the mountain and down again, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped.

The coffin was placed on the ground, and there was a sound of ping-pong-pong outside.

Lu Yingjiu tensed her body, waiting for the moment when the coffin lid opened——

After a few seconds, the cover on the top of the head came loose and was opened silently.

The light hit his face, Lu Yingjiu just wanted to get angry, but found that his whole body was frozen and unable to move.

He squinted in the light.

In front of him was a masked imp, wearing a pure black gown, holding a ghost mask in his hand.Before Lu Yingjiu could see clearly, he was put on that mask.

What happened next was like a dream.

Surrounded by flowing colors, like mountains and rivers, only the black mansion directly in front is clear, with red lanterns hanging on the eaves.He couldn't control his body at all. He stood up and got out of the coffin. Amidst the sound of the gong, he was wearing the gold-red No. [-] Scholar suit and walked forward surrounded by many little ghosts.

The mansion looked very familiar.

Entering the house, there are lanterns, red candles, heaven and earth tables, and guests wearing ghost masks.

It is completely modeled on the scene of the ghost marriage before.

And in the middle of the room, a man stood silently.

—Even the groom is a fake.

He is also dressed in the gold and red number one scholar suit, and the flowing clouds and dragons are lifelike.With a ghost mask covering his face, he lowered his head slightly, unable to see his face or emotion.

Lu Yingjiu came to him, stood still, and took a quick look.

The opponent is about the same size as him, as long as he can move, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, he can fight.

It didn't work out as expected, amidst the applause and cheers, the ghost emcee beside him shouted at a high-pitched voice: "Bow to heaven and earth—"

A huge cold force pressed against him.

Lu Yingjiu almost used all his strength to resist, but still slowly bent his waist towards the table of heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall-"

They bowed deeply to the paper figurine.

Lu Yingjiu had a very bad feeling in his heart.Next time, next time, you must never continue to worship!

But all the way, he has no room to resist!

"Husband and wife greet each other—"

Lu Yingjiu faced the other party, and suddenly felt a slight heat in his chest, and his strength suddenly returned.

still have a chance!

An invisible force pressed against his back, trying to force him to bend over.Lu Yingjiu clenched her teeth and held on.

The strength increased minute by minute, and time moved forward second by second. He was covered in sweat and his eyes were black.He could feel the soreness of the spine, the tightness of the muscles, the body was like a taut bow, and the sweat slowly rolled down the side of his face.

I don't know how long it took, the huge force almost crushed Lu Yingjiu's bones, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He is still holding on.

After a certain moment, the longevity locks on his chest were so hot that it was almost burning through his chest!The little ghosts surrounding them exploded into blood mist in an instant, leaving no scum left.But the blood didn't splash on Lu Yingjiu's body at all, he was pulled back by a huge force, everything around him went away, the candles, the wedding hall, and the mansion all shrank rapidly in his eyes.

Then he was hugged from behind.

The man whispered in his ear, "I'm back."

"Give me a little more time."

……

Lu Yingjiu sat up abruptly, gasping for breath.

Looking around, he was still at home, with the bookcase, wall clock and bedside calendar.Everything is as usual, the morning sun is shining outside the curtains.

His head was dizzy, as if he had been beaten by [-] monkeys.

Lu Yingjiu got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face.

The cold water flows down, refreshing.

He looked up and saw that the young man in the mirror had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were long and slightly raised, but did not make his face too neutral. Together with the straight nose and clean jaw line, It's just the right amount of sophistication.

Lu Yingjiu carefully confirmed that there was no yin energy left on her body.

It looked like it was just a horrible nightmare.

He subconsciously touched the longevity lock on his chest—it was still cold.

Could it be that the heat last night was just his illusion?

He simply tidied up and went downstairs.

Downstairs was a beige Honda. He opened the door and sat in as the co-pilot.

A young man with an inch-length was sitting in the driver's seat. He was very energetic. When he saw him, he was taken aback: "Ah, why do you have such an expression? Didn't sleep well last night?"

"En." Lu Yingjiu said.

This person's name is Ye Feng, and he is an old friend of his.

Ye Feng said: "I didn't say that since I knew you, your sleep quality has been worrying. You are not afraid of sudden death every day? Let me say that you have to see a psychiatrist. If there is a shadow, we will relieve it. If there is a need Let's release it. Oh, what about your female ghost, hurry up and reconnect with her!"

"It's nothing to be relieved and released, it can't be cured." Lu Yingjiu rubbed his eyebrows, "It's just an old problem. It's not like you don't know, it's already much better than when I was a child."

"Okay, okay, then hurry up and catch up on sleep." Ye Feng stepped on the accelerator and muttered, "I really envy your physique, you don't have dark circles under your eyes if you don't sleep well. If I don't sleep well, I can go to the zoo the next day. Pandas, it’s true that the illness of a national treasure has killed the national treasure.”

Today's weather is fine, the sky is so blue that it seems to have been washed with water.As soon as Ye Feng got his driver's license, he drove slowly all the way. There were few cars and no one urged him, so Lu Yingjiu leaned against the car window to catch up on sleep.

In the city center, there are several parking spaces on the side of the road.Ye Feng wanted to stop in, and moved back and forth three or four times.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Parking on your side is too bad, how did you get your driver's license?"

"Don't talk while eating my buns." Ye Feng clicked his tongue and moved again.

"You bought your driver's license."

"To shut up!"

Lu Yingjiu bent her eyes and smiled.

After finally waiting for Ye Feng to park the car, he almost fell asleep again.

The two got out of the car, walked into a small alley, and turned around.

Ordinary people will only see a dead end when they enter this alley.At the end, the thick walls disappeared out of thin air, replaced by tall office buildings, the glass reflecting the sunlight and shining.

The members of the "Green Lantern Club" are all ghost exorcists, and they are well-known in the Tao. It can be said that it is the top ghost exorcist organization, not one of them.No matter how crazy people come across the Blue Lantern Festival, they will be given a little bit of face.

The structure of the building is the same as that of an ordinary office building.

It was very quiet, even though today was a working day, there was no one in the huge hall, it was terribly deserted.But as soon as they walked in, it was as if countless lines of sight fell on them.

Lu Yingjiu walked to the front desk and said, "I'm looking for Chairman Chen."

The little girl at the front desk looked up at him: "Do you have an appointment..."

Then she recognized Lu Yingjiu, was a little surprised, and said, "You can just go up, he's on the top floor."

When taking the elevator, Lu Yingjiu slowly put on a collar button with the Qingyun logo.

He was wearing a white shirt today, and the collar button was green like a cat's eyes.

This is the token of the chief of the Blue Lantern Festival.

With the collar button up, he represents the Blue Lantern Festival.

He is the youngest chief ever.

Bad luck is a curse, and "stunning talent" is like fate's apology.

After exiting the elevator, there was only one office on the top floor.

Chen Zheng was sitting on the sofa, making tea with hot water.

He was nearly fifty years old, with gray hair and a chubby figure. He must have gained weight for many years.The tea leaves swirled in the cup, and he said with a smile, "Come and see if my tea-making skills have improved."

The two sat down and took a cup of tea each.

The pot is a purple sand pot, and the tea is Darjeeling black tea. After brewing in 90-degree water, cover the tea, put it into a warm teacup, and take a sip. The soft tea slides over the tip of the tongue with a delicate fragrance.

Lu Yingjiu had drunk Chen Zheng's tea many times.

When he first joined the club, Chen Zheng valued him very much. He took him to talk with him every now and then, and made him tea, especially his favorite scented tea.There were a lot of people who wanted to please Chen Zheng, and the tea they gave was of course the best, Xinyang Maojian, Tieguanyin, Dahongpao... black tea, green tea, black tea and white tea, I tried everything once.The craftsmanship is not good, but the tea leaves are good, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

After they finished drinking a cup, Chen Zheng refilled the tea.

He said, "Xiaolu, let's talk about your transfer."

Ye Feng's expression changed.

Lu Yingjiu said, "You tell me."

Chen Zheng said: "The Green Lantern Society has decided to temporarily remove you from the position of chief until the investigation of you is completed."

"Ah."

"You also know that the Central South branch has just been established, and most of the people there have no experience."

"Ah."

"Although a lot of veterans have been transferred, the branch is still under a lot of pressure in a short period of time. It's good to have someone to take care of it."

"Ah."

Chen Zheng took a deep breath: "Xiao Lu, there will always be nothing wrong recently. You can go and guide people, and teach them more things."

Ye Feng frowned tightly.

Before he knew it, he had already clenched his fists.

He knew that there were several new wounds under Lu Yingjiu's clothes.

The scars were not deep, but they were extremely glaring - two years ago, during the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, it was Lu Yingjiu who tried his best to disperse the rioting ghosts.One of the most ferocious ones was on the shoulder blades, full of yin energy, and his skin was ripped apart. It took almost half a year for him to heal. During that time, Ye Feng helped him change the medicine every day.

Apart from these, there are also many old injuries.People's eyes are discerning. They can see what Lu Yingjiu has done and how much he has paid. Naturally, they have great admiration for him.It is also for this reason that no one dares to disobey him as the chief.

Now Ye Feng only felt that there was a raging fire burning in his chest.

How could Chen Zheng have the face to say this? !

How does he have a face? ! !

His nails were almost scratching his palms, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Yingjiu slightly raised his hand to stop him.

Lu Yingjiu's tone was still normal, and he asked, "How long will I be going?"

Chen Zheng was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to agree so readily, and said, "It depends on the situation, let's start with half a year."

Lu Yingjiu raised his eyebrows - when he did so, there was a cold sarcasm on his brows.

Good looking, yet sharp.

He said: "They said they were investigating me, but in fact they already knew the result. I didn't violate discipline. I was dismissed because I offended too many people above me, and my background didn't suit them. I still needed to expel me." Ghost, the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts has just ended, and there will be no comeback for decades, so there is no need to keep me. If I say, I don't want to go to the Central South branch, what should you do?"

Chen Zheng's face changed: "The investigation on you has not yet..."

"I know." Lu Yingjiu drank the tea in one gulp, "So I'll just step down and accept the investigation."

He stood up: "President Chen, your tea art has indeed improved."

Chen Zheng watched Lu Yingjiu walk towards the door with his back straight.

At the door, Lu Yingjiu turned around.

Chen Zheng has known him for so many years, watching the young man's face grow up little by little, from a little green to now, his eyebrows have always been very beautiful, like a bright moonlight.

For some reason, a sense of guilt suddenly surged into Chen Zheng's heart at this moment.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Thanks for taking care of me for so many years—although I really want to say this, but Chen Zheng, you are an idiot."

Chen Zheng: "???"

Lu Yingjiu frowned, pulled off the Qingyun collar button, and threw it away: "Go and pick it up yourself."

The collar button rolled a few times on the ground.

He left without looking back.

……

ten days later.

The afternoon sun was fierce, shining golden through the swaying leaves.

As the moving truck moved forward, Ye Feng sat in the back seat and looked at Lu Yingjiu beside him.

He just went to the Blue Lantern Festival again to sign the contract of resignation. When he signed, the handwriting was beautiful, his fingers were slender, and there was a light scar on the back of his hand.

This scar was left by Chen Zheng, Lu Yingjiu saved him before.

Chen Zheng didn't dare to come to see Lu Yingjiu, an assistant asked him to sign, and there was a pot of scented tea on the table.

The assistant murmured, "Well...Chairman Chen said, let you drink this cup of tea before leaving. This is the best tea this year."

"No need." Lu Yingjiu replied.

If he drank more tea with the idiot, he was afraid that his IQ would be infected.

When we got there, the truck stopped.

Ye Feng and the workers unloaded a few boxes of things from the truck, and said, "You, your move is too sudden."

"The place where I bought it is on the second floor." Lu Yingjiu pointed, "It's just above this foot spa."

"Why did you buy a house here? It's so remote." Ye Feng wiped his sweat with the back of his hand, "Move quickly, it's getting dark soon."

"it is good."

Along the way, Lu Yingjiu's behavior was unusual.

But Ye Feng felt that Lu Yingjiu was a little depressed.

——Who is not like this?What's more, Lu Yingjiu was already arrogant.

It's a good thing if you move to another place.The news on this channel spread quickly, and it didn't take long for other people to know about it, and gossip was inevitable.He was afraid that Lu Yingjiu would be in a bad mood, so he persuaded him for a long time, openly and secretly, telling him not to pay attention to those people.

Lu Yingjiu's tone was indifferent, and he didn't know if he heard it or not.

Ye Feng persuaded again, Lu Yingjiu said: "It's okay, I really don't care, anyway, they can't catch up to my level after eight lifetimes of hard work." He patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, it's not against you."

Ye Feng grunted, punched Lu Yingjiu in the chest, and then smiled unconsciously.

When they arrived at the place, Ye Feng and a few workers moved things, and Lu Yingjiu took the key and opened the door on the second floor.

The first batch of things shipped was relatively small, with only one table and chair, most of them were Lu Yingjiu's notes and various tools for exorcising ghosts.Ye Feng saw several notebooks already on the ground.There are also several small decorative paintings on the wall, depicting the sunset, autumn leaves and the deep sea.

Ye Feng said, "When did you buy this place?"

"three years ago."

"Three years ago?" Ye Feng looked around, "It has been empty like this?"

"Come here sometimes."

It does seem to be cleaned frequently, the lighting is good, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are very bright. Just looking at it gives people a refreshing and open feeling.After moving things, they did a little cleaning. Ye Feng mopped the floor, Lu Yingjiu leaned out to clean the window, and the wind blew up his clothes.

By the time everything was done, it was dusk.Ye Feng sat on the chair, and Lu Yingjiu sat by the bay window.

Ye Feng said again: "The layout of this house is quite unique. What about the kitchen? What about the master bedroom? Can't they all be mixed together?"

Lu Yingjiu drank iced lemon tea: "I don't seem to have said that this is my new home."

"Ah?" Ye Feng was dumbfounded, "It's not your new home, why are you moving things?"

"Do business."

"Business? Do you want to learn from the pedicure shop downstairs? Are you a beauty technician?"

"It's not impossible if the gender is not so rigid." Lu Yingjiu said, "But this is an exorcism office."

"..." Ye Feng's eyes widened, "This, how do you open this? The Green Lantern Society is the only one, and they don't like you. If you deliberately suppress it, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to develop. And how do you do it alone? Get up? Can you find other ghost exorcists, and other employees? How do you solve the salary?"

"I know how strong the foundation of the Blue Lantern Festival is. But everyone builds it up step by step," Lu Yingjiu said. "They do have abundant resources, and the ghost exorcist is also very good, but without me, they I won’t be where I am today. I don’t lack contacts, there are many people who want to find me.”

"Or find another office to stay?"

"Not interested in."

Ye Feng hesitated and said: "You really...haven't you been hit? I don't think it's necessary to start from scratch... After all, you have a lot of other choices, why choose the most difficult one. Even if you go back to the Green Lantern Festival after the investigation is over , isn't it good?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was also taken aback.

——He knows that the current Blue Lantern Festival is different from before.

Chen Zheng was not the Chen Zheng who was righteous and unrepentant in the past, and his friends were not friends who had lived and died together before. This time Lu Yingjiu was investigated and withdrawn from the club, but no one spoke out to persuade him.It's as if those years together never existed.

Sure enough, Lu Yingjiu shook the lemon tea in his hand and lowered his eyes slightly.

This is the first time Ye Feng has seen him feel depressed in the past few days.

His heart moved, and he said, "Hey, just pretend that I didn't say..."

Before the words were finished, the wind blew up the curtains, brightening the room.

It was so empty a few hours ago, but now that there are so many things, it immediately becomes lively.

Lu Yingjiu looked up at him and smiled: "I just want to start over."

Sure enough, Lu Yingjiu is still Lu Yingjiu.Ye Feng thought to himself, there is no need to worry about it.

The phone rang, Ye Feng looked down for a few times, and suddenly laughed: "Hey! Coincidentally! Do you know what happened?"

"What?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

"The people in the meeting said that the tea cabinet of that bastard Chen Zheng was on fire." Ye Feng laughed out loud, "The 10,000+ tea leaves that he had hidden for a long time were all gone. I fell and broke a bone. Hey, hey, I’m forwarding this video to you, it made me laugh so hard. It’s really a day for the wicked!"

Lu Yingjiu clicked on the video, and it was the same as what Ye Feng said, and I don't know who was brave enough to shoot it. In the end, President Chen was so painful that his face was covered with sweat, and he even shouted: "Where are people! Where did everyone die? !”.

"Do you think it's a coincidence!" Ye Feng was still happy.

"...Hmm." Lu Yingjiu didn't know why, and subconsciously touched the longevity lock on her chest, "It's a coincidence."
