After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Things that come from the underworld must never be left behind.

They carry a strong yin energy. If the ghost who placed the light bulb is malicious, it may attract many ghosts.

To be honest, Lu Yingjiu rarely sees things from the underworld.

The last time I saw it was that little flower in the underworld.

He gently threw out a piece of talisman paper.The talisman wrapped around the light bulb flexibly, and with a sudden force——

Click!

The lightbulb exploded, scattering debris all over the floor, and the corridor was plunged into darkness except for the faint green light of the fire exit sign in the distance.

The yin on the bulb also disappeared.

Lu Yingjiu checked again and again that there was no Yin Qi remaining, and then pasted two pieces of talisman paper on the door of the house, and entered the house.

The cow cat came up to him and rubbed against his leg.Lu Yingjiu fed it cat food and scratched its chin.

Before going to bed, he warmed up a glass of milk and drank it slowly while reading.

The trees outside the window were rattling by the wind, and there was no other sound in the house except his flipping through the books.It's not like when Jing Xian was still there, there was some movement after all:

Jing Xian might be stroking cats.

Jing Xian may be watering the flowers.

Jing Xian might be drawing ghost-exorcism talisman paper - the runes he drew are still horrible, so bad that Lu Yingjiu can't bear to take a second look.

Mingming Lu Yingjiu has lived alone for a long time, and Jingxian has only been here for a few days, but the sudden silence somehow made him a little uncomfortable.

When the book is almost finished, it is too late.

Lu Ying turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes.

Somehow, half asleep and half awake, he thought of that underworld light bulb again.

...he had a bad feeling.

The next day, Lu Yingjiu was woken up by the phone.

I was still very sleepy, and my phone was buzzing like hell.He groped around the bed with his hands, and answered the phone with his eyes closed: "Hello?"

Ye Feng's voice came: "Do you have time today?"

"You have commissioned again?" Lu Yingjiu yawned, "Or did you mean yesterday's matter was not resolved?"

"Well, I still have to go there, just want to ask if you are free."

Usually, Ye Feng is not so diligent in contacting him.Ye Feng is also an official ghost exorcist, so he won't be uncertain about the commission.

Lu Yingjiu could imagine what happened from Ye Feng's perspective: the only intern in his firm ran away because the salary was too low, and Lu Yingjiu, the polished commander, was left.

Now Ye Feng suddenly wanted to pull him, probably because Jing Xian had just left, and was afraid that he would feel deserted all of a sudden.

Lu Yingjiu got up, went downstairs, and bought bread at the convenience store for breakfast before getting into the car.

When he reached the downstairs of the resident, he met Ye Feng.

Ye Feng went upstairs and said: "The old grandma contacted me again, saying that in the middle of the night last night, someone seemed to be crying in the corridor. I suspect that we didn't get rid of the ghosts. To be honest, if I was alone yesterday, I would be really scared." I think so. But you are also there, that ghost must be dead."

"The hanged ghost must have disappeared. Maybe there are new ghosts attracted by the Yin Qi." Lu Yingjiu said, "This kind of thing is not uncommon. Yesterday my house was haunted."

"At the door of your house?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't that ghost disappear in minutes?"

"I didn't see a ghost, but it left a hell lightbulb."

"What the hell would keep the light bulb?" Ye Feng was amused, "It's impossible for an electrician to turn into a ghost. This is too dedicated, and I just replaced the bad light bulb."

When they arrived at the old grandma's house, they listened to her add details and describe the grand occasion of last night.

"Didn't you hear the crying, you're panicking—" the old woman kept shaking her head as she shook her fan, "Wow, wow, wow, like a child."

Lu Yingjiu asked, "Did the crying you heard come from upstairs or downstairs?"

The old grandma thought for a long time, and the wrinkles on her face were all wrinkled together: "I didn't hear it clearly, it feels like the whole corridor is there. If I insist on saying it, it might be from above."

So Lu Yingjiu and Ye Feng started from this floor and slowly went up.

It was the morning, and the bright sunlight was cut into six pieces by the iron fence and fell on the soles of their feet.There are festive couplets pasted on the door, one side is "Flowers Bloom Prosperity" and the other side is "Five Blessings Come to the Door". The leaves outside are rustling, which is quite a taste of the quiet years.

They walked in tandem.

On the 7th floor, the white walls in the stairwell are covered in graffiti.

The ballpoint pen drew villains, houses, chimneys, and ships on it...it looks like it was done by children.

Ye Feng muttered: "Which family's brat is this, so unqualified."

Lu Yingjiu remained silent, looking at the graffiti.

After a few seconds, he said, "Stand farther away, do these lines look like a human face?"

Ye Feng took a few steps back, tried to ignore those obvious patterns, and looked at them with a blank gaze——

Sure enough, it could be barely seen that it was a crying face.

Feeling hairy on his back, he took out the talisman paper he had prepared and pasted it on the four corners of the white wall.

The talisman burns.

All I heard was an extremely sharp cry, echoing in the corridor!

Sure enough, I told the grandmother that it was the cry of a child.

"Blah blah blah!"

"Blah blah blah!"

What sound came from downstairs, it sounded like a child crawling on the ground with hands and feet.

Ye Feng was about to ask God to rush down, when he saw Lu Yingjiu beside him supporting the railing with one hand, flipping down lightly, all the way down.

The stairs skittered under his feet, and he quickly saw spots of blood on the stairs, which looked like the handprints of a baby crawling.

He came to the floor just now.

The door of the grandmother's house was wide open, and a baby with bloody hands was crawling towards her house!

The baby's face was blue, and it looked like a dead person. Sharp teeth could be seen in the mouth. If he bit it lightly, the artery might be bitten through.

The old grandma heard the sound and came to the door.

I saw the dead baby jumping at the old woman——

The talisman paper in Lu Yingjiu's hand was about to fly out, but the old grandma hugged it tightly, hugged it tightly, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, baby, don't cry, grandma is here!" Turning around, he stopped the dead baby behind him, and looked at Lu and Ye vigilantly, "Didn't I invite you to exorcise ghosts? Why did you make my grandson cry? You hurry up! If you don't leave, I will sue you!"

Ye Feng also rushed down, seeing this scene, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he understood everything, and couldn't help feeling sad.

This grandma, who doesn't accept that her grandson is dead, is still lying to herself.

Seeing that they were not moving, the old lady yelled sternly, "Aren't you leaving?! Call the police! I'm going to call the police!" After speaking, she went to take out her small mobile phone.

She failed and screamed instead.

A small paper man the size of a thumb got into her pocket at some point, ran away with the mobile phone fluttering lightly, returned to Lu Yingjiu's feet, bouncing around.

Lu Yingjiu took the phone and walked towards the old woman slowly.The other party was so frightened that he hugged the child tightly and shrank in the corner.

Lu Yingjiu's tone was unhurried: "Look at its face carefully."

It was covered in corpse spots.

The old woman pursed her lips tightly and refused to move.

The dead baby was in her arms, grinning at Lu Yingjiu, the sharp nails scratched the old grandma's arm, and blood flowed down - but she didn't seem to feel the pain at all.

Lu Yingjiu sighed silently.

The talisman flew out of his hand, and with the scream of the old woman, it accurately stuck to the dead baby's forehead.

In an instant, the baby's body disintegrated and turned into fly ash, floating in the air.The old grandma wanted to reach out to grab it, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch even a speck of dust.

She stood there blankly, and after a long time, she sat down as if she had lost all strength.

—she remembered it all.

Lu Yingjiu helped her up, and Ye Feng pulled a chair over in time for her to sit on.

Under Ye Feng's comfort, the old grandma slowly stabilized her emotions, she seemed to be ten years older, and kept wiping her tears.

Lu Yingjiu said: "Accepting death is indeed difficult, and I have experienced this feeling too. My condolences change."

He took out a peace talisman from the talisman paper that he carried with him, put it in a kit bag, and hung it at the gate of the grandmother's house.

The kit is fragrant, swaying gently in the wind.

Ye Feng came over and whispered to Lu Yingjiu, "I told the people in the meeting."

There are positions similar to psychological counselors in the Blue Lantern Club, who are responsible for calming the emotions of the parties involved.

Lu Yingjiu nodded.

When people come, there is nothing to do with them.

Before the two left, they heard mournful cries.

Although they have been exorcising ghosts for many years, they have seen many tragedies, and their emotions have become numb, but their hearts are still touched every time this happens.

Ye Feng rubbed his face vigorously in the co-pilot, and said, "Oh, I don't want to do this anymore, let's go eat."

"En." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

The sun was shining brightly all the way, and after being warmed by the sun, the atmosphere finally improved a lot.

Ye Feng drove slowly, and Lu Yingjiu also leaned on the seat to catch up on sleep.

Ye Feng said while driving: "By the way, I may go to Yueshan Village once in a few days."

"What are you going to do there?"

"Didn't my second master manage the nursing home there before? Yesterday the village chief called me and said that the second master left some belongings in the warehouse. They found them and told me to go back and get them."

"Your second grandpa..." Lu Yingjiu frowned.

He wasn't very impressed.

The light turned red and the car just stopped.

"His name is Ye Deyong. I showed you the photos! I'll look for them." Ye Feng fumbled around in every pocket, finally found his wallet, opened it, "I always carry photos with me... ..."

He paused.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Yingjiu glanced at him.

In the old photo, Ye Feng was still a kid, and a man with half-white hair and a white coat was holding his hand.The background is the endless mountains and the white exterior wall of the nursing home.

After seeing it, he had an impression: Ye Feng did show him this group photo.

It's just that Ye Feng's pupils are shrinking now, as if he saw something incredible in the photo.

He said, "Lu Yingjiu, look here." He pointed at Ye Deyong's neck, "Why do I feel like something is strangling him?"

Lu Yingjiu took a closer look.

Sure enough, on Ye Deyong's neck, he saw a very light and very light black.The black color is too inconspicuous, if Ye Feng is not too familiar with this photo, it is impossible to see it.

The black almost wrapped around Ye Deyong's neck, like a terrifying rope.

In Lu Yingjiu's impression, in the group photo, the two looked very relaxed.But now, Ye Deyong's facial muscles were tense and his face was blue, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.

The light turns green, and traffic behind me starts honking.

Lu Yingjiu parked the car on the side of the road.

Ye Feng was still staring at the photo.

He murmured, "Looks like I have to go..."

……

Lu Yingjiu returned home.

He is going to go to Yueshan Village with Ye Feng tomorrow afternoon, and he will start packing his luggage tonight.

"Ding-" The elevator arrived.

He walked towards the door of the house and stood still.

It was still very bright in front of his house, a brand new light bulb was amazingly bright.

After careful inspection, the talisman paper pasted on the door was also intact.

At this moment, Lu Yingjiu actually doubted his ability to exorcise ghosts.

——How did you meet such a powerful ghost again?

And this ghost's style...

Lu Yingjiu frowned, and threw out another talisman paper, crushing the light bulb.

The corridor returns to darkness.

This time, he densely covered the walls with talisman papers, creating a net that was enough for ghosts to have nowhere to hide.

Early the next morning, the first thing he did after waking up was to open the door——

The light bulb was replaced again, but the talisman paper on the wall was not damaged.

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

He stood under this light bulb, really dazed.

The talisman paper was thrown out, and the fragments of the light bulb were scattered all over the place.

He kicked the pieces to the side of the corridor and pressed the elevator: his courier has arrived downstairs, and it is full of newly bought paper, which can be used to draw symbols on it after cutting.

When he went downstairs to take out the courier, he felt faint fluctuations in the talisman paper on the courier box.

Turn the package over, and sure enough there is a small rune at the bottom: Flowing clouds and mountains are symbols of peace.

This rune is printed and is of little use.But the seller should know a little about exorcising ghosts, which is printed on every package.

Lu Yingjiu stared at the peace talisman for a few seconds.

He remembered the peace talisman he gave the old grandma yesterday.

He said at the time: "It is really difficult to accept death, and I have experienced this feeling too."

This statement is not purely comforting.

Looking at the white-haired elder in front of him, he really remembered the past.

When Zhuang Xue passed away, he couldn't believe it either.

A person who is still arranging flowers in the morning, at night, there is only a cold body left.

Lu Yingjiu has been in a downturn for quite a long time, and always feels that if he learns the technique of exorcising ghosts well, he can get Zhuang Xue's soul back.And the harder he tried, the more he knew that it was impossible, and all the hard work brought him was despair.

At that time, Lu Yingjiu had already known Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was one year older than him. He didn't go to high school, so he followed the Ye family to learn exorcism. He usually idled around the block and slept until noon.

During that time, Ye Feng was really afraid that Lu Yingjiu would be overwhelmed, so he set an alarm clock every day, and went downstairs to his house early in the morning to tell him to go to school.After school, I came here specifically to look for him, to hang out, to eat, to chat, in short, not to let Lu Yingjiu be alone, and to find something for him to do.

After a long time, Lu Yingjiu calmly accepted the fact:

Death cannot be resurrected, everything is predestined.

He has no other relatives in this world.

Zhuang Xue died in a car accident. On the handlebar of her bicycle, there was still a peace talisman painted by Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu is a very rational person and would not attribute Zhuang Xue's death to "my talisman paper drawing is not good enough".The world is impermanent, even if a piece of peace talisman is drawn by the heavenly king Laozi, it cannot stop death.

But after that, he paid countless days and nights, and then, the peace talisman he drew was the best on the road.

Thinking back on this now, it seems like a lifetime away.

Lu Yingjiu smiled silently, took the package and went upstairs again, waiting for Ye Feng to come to pick him up.

At the door of the house, he stood still again.

In front of him was another good light bulb.

Lu Yingjiu thinks that there have been many weird things since childhood.

But he has never seen it before. There is a light bulb in the underworld at the door, and every time it breaks, it will be repaired by him immediately!

Lu Yingjiu was extremely confused.

But in this bewilderment, intuition is clamoring.It's as if when an anime character thinks about something clearly, there will be a white line flashing behind his head——

Now, there is such a white line behind his head!

This, this is definitely Jing Xian's doing!

It's impossible for other ghosts to do it!

People cannot be resurrected after death, time cannot be turned back, and water that is spilled cannot come back.

But Jing Xian, who was driven away, can fly back by himself like a boomerang, which is fast and convenient, and has a strong initiative.

Maybe he brought him some snacks on the way back from the flight.

Lu Yingjiu rubbed her brow bone vigorously, her head hurt like hell.

He realized that he would not be able to catch Jing Xian with the paper talisman.

He was still guessing which famous priest Jing Xian was before, but now it seems that with Jing Xian's strength, all famous priests must listen to him.

What is this, priest's boss?

Lu Yingjiu gave up posting runes, broke the light bulb and opened the door directly, moved a chair and sat under the rotten light bulb.

The talisman paper can't catch Jing Xian.

But the light bulb can catch it!

A bad light bulb is the most effective idle trap in existence.

Lu Yingjiu sat in the corridor.

Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later, there was a gust of wind in the corridor, which was freezing cold.

The wind blew all the way under the light bulb, blowing Lu Yingjiu's hair.

Lu Yingjiu yelled, "Jing Xian."

The wind stopped for a moment.

At this moment, Lu Yingjiu threw out the talisman——

Facts have proved that his timing was very good. When the opponent was caught off guard, the talisman took effect!

I saw Jing Xian standing under that light bulb, holding a new light bulb in one hand and still changing it.

The two looked at each other.

There was a dead silence all around.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yingjiu leaned back on the chair comfortably and crossed her fingers: "Come on, explain to me."

Jing Xian: "..."

Jing Xian said: "I want to change a light bulb for you. Every time I just change it, I just leave, and someone breaks it again. Now the quality of people in Yangjian is too bad."

Lu Yingjiu: "..." He felt scolded.

Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath: "Why are you back again? Didn't I tell you all about it? Priests shouldn't come to Yangjian, go back quickly."

"That won't work." Jing Xian looked at the light bulb, "If this light bulb isn't replaced properly, it's so dark and dangerous."

Lu Yingjiu only felt her eyebrows twitch: "Why do you help me change the light bulb? Or I change the question, why do you stay by my side? Didn't you tell me that you have no unfinished obsessions?"

He really felt that there might be something wrong with Jing Xian's brain circuit.What's so good about him, worthy of respect, that he insists on staying in Yangjian?

This is simply the treatment only for wives, right?How can he!

Jing Xian looked at him.

I don't know if it was Lu Yingjiu's illusion, but he felt that Jingxian's ears were a little red.

Lu Yingjiu said: "You are talking."

Jing Xian: "..."

Lu Yingjiu took another deep breath: "Jingxian, go back, go back now."

"I won't go back." Jingxian seemed to have finally made up his mind, looked at him with piercing eyes, took his hand, and said courageously, "Because, because we are husband and wife! How could I lose Leave you alone!!"

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

Lu Yingjiu: "???"

The author has something to say: Light bulb: trap for the ghost king!
