Cao Xuanhe didn't drive directly to the Town God's Temple in the southern outskirts of the city, but went back to the shop first, and then went to a nearby hotel to order a sumptuous banquet to take there.

On weekdays, most living people respect ghosts and gods, but there are not many people who go to the Town God's Temple to worship the Lord of the City God if they have nothing to do.

Just like today, early in the morning, there was only one administrator cleaning the yard in the entire temple, and there were a few birdsong and cicadas singing from time to time in the trees.

It doesn't feel noisy, and even makes the temple a little quiet and comfortable all day long.

Ming Yi who was hiding in the bottle was drowsy, when he suddenly heard a voice with a warm smile: "Mr. Cao, please come inside."

Mr. Cao?

Could it be that his wife is here?

Thinking of this, Ming Yi couldn't help poking out half of his head from the vase, just in line with Cao Xuanhe's gaze.

"Woooooh, daughter-in-law~"

Cao Xuanhe showed him a faint smile, followed the management staff who led the way to the front of the hall, and offered incense to the City God.

Behind him, there were two men in suits carrying incubators.

Cao Xuanhe stood in front of the incense altar, offering incense and worshiping with a serious expression.

The management staff and the two men placed food on the altar table,

Plates of delicious and hot meals were laid out, making people salivate, and so did ghosts.

If the sun outside had not shone into the main hall, it would have been there in the morning.

The ghosts in the statue hadn't fallen asleep yet, and they suddenly smelled the aroma of food wafting from the air, so they couldn't help poking their heads out of curiosity to check.

Ming Weihai saw the man who was bowing to him in front of the hall, and couldn't help being surprised: "Hey, why is he here?"

The Ming couple also poked their heads out from the statue of Master Liu next to them, and asked, "Who is it?"

Ming Weihai said: "Your youngest son's boyfriend."

Ming Guangliang was stunned for half a second, and exclaimed: "Cao Xuanhe!"

Sensing the gaze from the other side of the vase, Ming's mother elbowed the ghost next to her: "Tsk, keep your voice down."

Ming Guangliang pursed his lips, lowered his voice, and said, "What is he here for?"

Ming's mother said angrily: "You don't have eyes? Isn't he worshiping?"

Ming Guangliang was very unhappy at being bullied by his wife, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he simply snorted and retracted into the statue.

Ming Weihai didn't have much prejudice against Cao Xuanhe, not to mention that he had dealt with this person several times when he was alive. Although the other person had a withdrawn and mysterious personality, his three views were quite correct.

Now he has become Ming Yi's boyfriend again, and he has taken good care of the little ghost during this period of time, and his good impression has improved a lot.

Ming's mother's feelings for Cao Xuanhe were a bit complicated. When she first found out that he was her youngest son's boyfriend, she felt very angry and felt that he must have seduced her son.

But when he called that night, Ming Yi made it very clear that he was actively pursuing the other party. Looking at the other party's appearance now, it doesn't feel like Ming Yi is lying.

Although the other party told them something that must be made clear, they did a lot of things in silence.

Ming's mother heard from Grandpa Ming Yi that on the night Ming Yi took the little ghost to Xihong Town God's Temple to make a big fuss, Cao Xuanhe was also there. Little loss.

In addition, yesterday, people went to the cemetery to burn so many gold ingots for them, and today they brought so many delicious food to the Chenghuang Temple to worship.

Ming's mother suddenly felt that having an extra little son-in-law seemed... quite good.

It may be that I accepted this idea from the bottom of my heart, and when I looked at Cao Xuanhe again, I liked his calm and calm demeanor a little more.

Ming Yi didn't know that his daughter-in-law had been gradually recognized by his mother, and he was so hungry for the delicious food on the altar table, but the vase stood at the entrance of the hall, a little distance from the altar table, so he couldn't 'eat' to his heart's content.

The little ghost lay his hands on the mouth of the vase, revealing a pair of round eyes, looked at Cao Xuanhe's back pitifully, and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, I can't eat it."

The man didn't know if he didn't hear him, so he ignored him, put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, turned around and said to the manager, "Can I stay here alone for a while?"

The management staff was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized: "Um, yes."

"Thank you." As he spoke, he took a small box from one of the men, and watched the management staff and the man carrying the incubator leave.

The three walked out of the main hall, Cao Xuanhe opened the wooden box, took out a koi lake tour ornament from it, walked to the vase at the entrance of the hall, knocked on the mouth of the bottle with his index finger, and said, "Go in."

Ming Yi glanced at the thing in his hand, it seemed to be one of the pair of koi swimming lake decorations on the shelf in the shop.

Seeing that there was no blood on it, he went in with confidence.

As soon as he entered, he felt that he was surrounded by a cool and comfortable Yin Qi, and he couldn't help but marvel: "It's so comfortable inside!"

Cao Xuanhe pursed his lips, hummed lightly, placed the ornaments on the altar table, and let the little ghosts eat like they were having fun.

Not only him, but the two in the idol had also silently gathered at the altar table to enjoy the food.

While smoking, Ming's mother glanced at Cao Xuanhe, wondering if the other party could see her in broad daylight?

However, Cao Xuanhe's attention was not on them at all, the man's eyes were all on the koi swimming lake ornament, the corners of his lips were raised, and he kept smiling, completely gone from the coldness and alienation he had when offering incense and offering sacrifices just now.

Ming's mother nudged Ming Weihai, who was sucking positively, with her elbow, and whispered: "Hey, Dad, can this person see little ghosts during the day?"

Ming Weihai said: "Probably not."

Even if he is a warlock, it is impossible to see the imp without opening his yin and yang eyes.

Ming's mother glanced at the koi swimming ornament in doubt, and Ming Yi poked out half of his small head from between the two koi and sniffed vigorously: "I think it can, otherwise why is he just staring at a koi ornament and laughing?" ?”

Ming Weihai waved his hand casually, not knowing whether he was saying he didn't know, or that he didn't care.

Ming's mother watched for a while, and saw that the man didn't look at them at all, so she stopped paying attention and continued to eat.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she 'ate' such a sumptuous meal after her death, so the impression of the little son-in-law in front of her was even more favorable.

Ming Yi ate happily, and felt full after a while. He burped in satisfaction, patted his non-existent belly and said, "I'm full."

Before the words finished, the manager walked in and said, "Mr. Cao."

Cao Xuanhe turned to look at him.

The manager smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, an old lady also wants to come in to worship the City God, look..."

Cao Xuanhe understood what he meant, nodded in response, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted the koi lake ornament, and said in a low voice, "I'll go first."

Ming Yi was dissatisfied: "Ah, you are leaving so soon, you have not been here for a long time..."

The manager interrupted the little ghost's words, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Cao, this ornament is..."

Cao Xuanhe explained: "I store things here temporarily, and I will take them away after a while."

"Oh, alright."

This is not the first time Cao Xuanhe has come here. The temple administrators all know that he is a warlock, and they only think that this ornament is the same as the Yin Juying bottles sent in the past. It contains dirty things that are invisible to the living, and they need to be taken away by the City God .

They have been working in this temple for a long time. Although they have never met the City God, they have also encountered some evil things. In addition, those Taoist priests and magicians in Qinglin City like to come here to worship, and they are also very worried. There is a bit of guesswork.

Ming Yi pursed his lips and watched Cao Xuanhe leave. When he was out of sight, he greeted his grandfather and mother, and got into the koi decoration to rest comfortably.

After a while, Ming Weihai and Ming's mother were also full, and went back to rest in the statue.

Accompanied by the old lady at the back offering sacrifices and offering incense, muttering and asking the City God to give someone a message and go to bed.

Ming Guangliang was angry and jealous seeing his daughter-in-law eating with satisfaction, and the smell of food from the palace kept wafting in, making him drool non-stop.

Seeing his hopeless appearance, Ming's mother couldn't help laughing and said: "It's almost done, yesterday's gold ingots are all collected, and today's meal is still missing?"

Ming Guangliang's dead duck mouthed stiffly: "I'm not hungry."

Ming's mother said: "It's fine if you're not hungry. Tsk, although Cao Xuanhe doesn't talk much, he really has no choice in what he does. I don't know where to find a famous hotel. The taste of the food is really delicious."

Hearing what she said, Ming Guangliang couldn't help but secretly licked his lips.

Ming's mother kicked him with a snickering smile, and said: "Okay, don't pretend, go and eat, when it gets cold, you really don't have anything to eat."

Ming Guangliang didn't hold his tongue this time, hesitated for half a second, got up and got out of the statue.

There were not many pilgrims in the Temple of the City God, and everyone entered the hall very respectfully and politely, and kept their voices down when they spoke, for fear of disturbing the City God in the temple, so Ming Yi slept soundly this time.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day... until the tenth day.

The Zhang family didn't move at all, but their family stayed in the Chenghuang Temple all day, which was very boring.

Later, Ming's mother simply asked the ghost messenger to move a mahjong table, and took Ming's father, Ming Yi, and the leisurely ghost servant to play mahjong in the yard at night.

On the other hand, Ming Yi did not have the irritability of the first day, and even became a little addicted to playing mahjong.

It's not that he has no conscience, but that in the past ten days, Cao Xuanhe would come to see him every day with delicious food. When he was busy, he would take a few glances and leave, and when he was free, he would stay for half a day.

Of course, he didn't stay in the main hall all the time, Cao Xuanhe would silently take the koi decorations to the stone table under the tree in the yard, or in the car outside the City God's Temple after paying homage to the City God.

Ming Yi will hide in the koi decoration and share with him the results of his mahjong game at night. Although the matter is monotonous and boring, the man still listens seriously, and will add a sentence from time to time.

Although life is dull, it is also comfortable.

However, for Cao Xuanhe, it was not very comfortable.

He used to eat meat every day, but he hasn't eaten meat for half a month. The hot weather made him feel even more depressed.

But at the beginning, he promised to let the little ghost go back to Chenghuang Temple to stay, but now he can't go back on his word halfway, he can only make chrysanthemum tea every day to clear away the heat.

On this day, Yin Youran called and asked where Cao Xuanhe was.

The man threw him three words: Wanbaozhai.

Yin Youran drove over, and as soon as he entered the lounge, he saw a man sitting by the window playing with a bracelet, and when he saw the corners of his mouth foaming, he couldn't help exclaiming: "I'm going, Cao Xuanhe, you're all mad!"

Cao Xuanhe gave him a look and ignored his teasing.

Yin Youran didn't care, she sat opposite him, resting her forehead with one hand, with a sneer on her face.

"Tsk tsk, Brother He, I suddenly feel sorry for you."

In the past three days, I have run out of food at both ends, which is a bit pitiful.

Cao Xuanhe pretended not to hear it, and changed the subject: "Have you found it?"

Yin Youran coughed lightly and returned to seriousness: "Only found some clues."

"We speculate that after Zhang's grandfather and grandson escaped from the underworld, they should have been hidden by some Taoist priests."

"These Taoist priests are all from Xihong Province. During Zhang Yixiong's tenure, the two sides often dealt with each other. I heard that two of them had died, and it was Zhang Yixiong who extended their lives."

Cao Xuanhe asked: "Can you find out where they are hiding?"

Yin Youran looked embarrassed: "This is a bit difficult. As long as they don't show up, we won't be able to track it down unless we let them do it."

Cao Xuanhe: "Then force them to take action."

Yin Youran sighed: "There is no bait for fishing, and you won't let your kid..."

Cao Xuanhe interrupted him: "Don't think about it."

"..." Yin Youran clicked his tongue twice, patiently persuading: "I can't bear the child, I can't hold the wolf!"

"Besides, what the Zhang family hates the most now is your kid. Putting other 'baits' may not necessarily catch fish."

Cao Xuanhe was silent and silently refused.

Yin Youran had no choice but to say: "Of course, if you really don't want to part with the brats, then we can only sit on the sidelines and wait patiently. There will always be a day when they can't help themselves."

Cao Xuanhe: "Yes."

Seeing that he refused to let go at all, Yin Youran sighed secretly, and threw a thick stack of documents on the table: "These are the list of suspects we have screened out, you can take a look if you have time, I have other things to do Son, go first."

Cao Xuanhe murmured, put down the bracelet, picked up the stack of documents and read them.

When Yin Youran walked to the screen, he glanced sideways at him, sighed helplessly, and walked out of the shop.

He came out of the antique street and got into the co-pilot of a black off-road vehicle parked not far from the alley.

Zhang Dongchen in the driver's seat saw him getting into the car, straightened his seat immediately, and said hello, "Boss."

While fastening his seat belt, Yin Youran said, "Go to the Chenghuang Temple in the southern suburbs of the city."

Zhang Dongchen paused his hand to start the car, his face showed surprise: "Boss Cao agrees?"

Yin Youran sneered: "Oh, do you think it's possible, you haven't seen what kind of baby that little devil is?"

Zhang Dongchen was puzzled, "Then what are we going to do in the Town God's Temple?"

Yin Youran: "We can't talk to him, we can only go to 'bait' to discuss, we can't really spend all the time with the Zhang family, when they cause trouble in Yangjian, we have to trouble us to clean it up."

Zhang Dongchen wrinkled his face, showing a troubled expression: "But if Boss Cao finds out about this, then we will be in great trouble!"

Yin Youran waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, I'll take care of it if something happens."

Zhang Dongchen still hesitated, and persuaded: "Boss, if we wait a little longer, I think the Zhang family will soon be bored."

Yin Youran sneered: "Wait, wait any longer, our Boss Cao will explode on the spot."

"You didn't see it, he's holding back so much that the corners of his mouth are blistering."

Zhang Dongchen: "..."

Well, he has never met him before. He has known Boss Cao for decades, and the other party has always had a calm and calm personality, and he has an alienated and indifferent attitude towards everyone.

Zhang Dongchen thought that the other party had already become an 'immortal', without those worldly desires.
