Lie Huo Jiao Chou

Director Xiao is a quick-tempered person. Not long after he returned, he called and made an appointment to meet the old director.

It just so happened that Xuan Ji had been "seconded" by the field, and it was almost time to return to the aftermath department to work.

"The old director is a 'strength department'. The past sect race system has been collapsed by you. As the blood relationship becomes thinner and thinner, the special ability awakening becomes more and more casual. Now it is divided according to the dominant ability attribute. "

While talking, Xuan Ji touched the outside of the hot oil pan and felt that the temperature was about the same, so she directly beat the eggs.

Raw eggs fell into the boiling oil, and the egg whites swelled rapidly. The water stirred the hot oil like flowers, splashing around, and the oil splashed on his hands. None left.The left side quickly adjusted the sauce, and the right side took out the quick-oiled eggs. On the way, he also poured the ham and diced vegetables into the porridge pot where the rice oil was tumbling.

The two hands do their own thing, the left and right do not delay each other, and they are very leisurely.

"Generally, the grip strength is two orders of magnitude higher than that of ordinary people...that is, more than a hundred times, and at the same time, they have no other obvious special abilities, and they will all be classified as 'strength'," Xuan poked the small snacks in the steamer with the tip of his chopsticks, and continued. , "But it's actually quite tasteless. Now there are machines, and charlatans are not fashionable to perform boulders on their chests. In the past 30 years, except for the old director, the strength department has rarely been able to get ahead in the bureau. He is too hard - ordinary A person who retires at 90... means old age, special ability is not guaranteed, it depends on physical function - when he was in his [-]s, when he was in his [-]s, he had a major accident in the field, and he personally presided over it.

Sheng Lingyuan watched his performance through the smoky kitchen, and wanted to laugh a little, but the smile didn't rise, and he sighed secretly again——Xuan Ji seemed to have made up his mind, wanting to be ashamed, and to be able to do it by himself every day The kitchen tosses out an acrobatic.

And it wasn't just the kitchen that he tossed about.

On the first day, Xuan Ji wiped the floor to clean up the house which was not messy at first, and cleared out two large boxes of old things, including books, CDs, tapes, and game consoles.

Before Sheng Lingyuan figured out what these things were for, the next day, he tossed out a bunch of outdated digital products, saying that they were going to be maintained and repaired one by one, and resold second-hand, and intentionally or unintentionally "complained", talking about the past A treasure bought at a big price is a treasure, and it can be handed down to the world. Let alone the things bought at a big price now, they will be out of date during the Chinese New Year, and updates are faster than gasping... After complaining, I showed it to Sheng Lingyuan. He collected it at the Chiyuan Altar "Baby".

On the third day, the family received a courier——Xuanji felt that the white walls in the living room were too monotonous, so he bought a world map board as big as a wall online, and marked all the places he had been with colored thumbtacks. took a photo.

Sheng Lingyuan didn't fully understand how the "photo" was taken, but he understood what Xuan Ji meant.

Xuan Ji knew that he would pay attention to everything around him, so she wanted to show him "quietly", that she was unrestrained, able to eat and play, and lived a good life, not "resurrected more than 30 times, and it is not easy to set foot in the world." I have to rent a house".

It's a pity that once the exhibition started, the bird's nature couldn't be restrained, and the show showed too much force, which seemed deliberate instead.

"Boundless power," Sheng Lingyuan answered absently, "The ancestors should be beasts."

"How can you tell other people's lineage at a glance?" Xuan Ji asked strangely. He used to have amnesia, but now that the seal is broken and the memory is recovered, he still has not possessed this skill. Although he has carefully studied the Thousand Monsters Illustrated Book, After 3000 years of mixed blood, the characteristics of the ancestors should have been blurred long ago, and the records on the ancient scrolls are completely irrelevant.

"so I……"

Turning around, Xuan Ji realized that Sheng Lingyuan was standing behind him at some point, and she almost ran into his arms.

Xuan Ji quickly raised the sauce bowl: "What are you doing in the kitchen? It's a mess here."

"Taste." Sheng Lingyuan took the small bowl of sauce from him.

"What...that's hot, put it down, I'll do it."

"The taste of blood is different. I can feel that the magic is connected to the six desires." Sheng Lingyuan avoided him, and picked up the plate of fried eggs that made a "squeaky" sound. His eyes slipped out of the corners of his eyes, and he glanced at Xuan Ji lightly. , "The taste of desire is also different."

Xuan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then his hair exploded——wait, that means...

Is there any privacy here?

Sheng Lingyuan let out a low laugh, and floated away with the bowl in his hand

Xuan Ji first boiled the porridge with the pot for a long time, and silently recited "emptiness is form, form is emptiness" ten times, and then recalled: "I believe in your evil!"

How many years has this old ghost lost his taste, the taste is big!

It was clearly teasing him again.

Sheng Lingyuan put down the plate, and felt a fire-like heat source approaching behind him. As soon as he turned his head, Xuan Ji stretched out his hand to support the side of the table, trapping him in it: "Then, Your Majesty, what do I smell like?"

The presence of fragrance in all kinds of contemporary detergents is too high, and it has long covered the breath of the body. He suddenly approached, and the smell of the same shampoo and laundry detergent on the two people was immediately entwined, and Xuan Ji pointed out with a word. Come out, more and more inseparable.

The blood on Xuan Ji's face hadn't faded yet, her eyes followed the smell of shampoo and landed on Sheng Lingyuan's hair, staring at breakfast like a person who has been hungry all night: "Since you are so discerning, let me serve you When I wash my hair, is it to test my concentration?"

Sheng Lingyuan: "..."

"Be careful." Xuan Ji put a bowl of porridge next to him, took a step back politely, and said "modestly", "I overslept today, just cook a little, it's not as good as the dining room in Duling Palace, I have wronged Your Majesty gone."

After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a few coins were placed firmly on the table in the small steamers stacked high on the stove. Each steamer was only the size of a palm, and inside were a pair of small snacks, sweet and delicious. Xian, after setting up a table, Xuan Ji took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his life with a filter, and posted it on Moments proudly, waiting for others to ask him why he made breakfast for the two of them.

It's a pity that I didn't get my wish.

Colleagues all know that his family has a sword spirit, and ordinary friends outside the circle either ask him if he has become rich, or if he has gone to a culinary school for further training. But the advantage is that he is stable and leisurely, and still has time to cook his own breakfast, which is really enviable.

Running around for a living every day, everyone is very practical, and the show is too vague, and no one understands the spirit.

At this time, the chief dispatching office called, and Xiao Zheng said: "There is an emergency, and Fengshenyi has already set off. You can take a few people from the aftermath department to deal with it. It is related to the missing Granny Yu. The route is being applied for. You Go there first, and then go back to the bureau to see the old director.”

"Our destination is called 'Qingping Town', with a permanent population of about 1," Ping Qianru said on the special plane of the aftermath department, "It's where Granny Yu's old house is located, and she also changed the name—live long— ——The local people think she is a family, and every generation looks exactly the same, and they worship her as a living god, and she has her own ancestral hall, which is a local attraction, and it is said to be very effective.”

Sheng Lingyuan, who was casually explaining ancient times to graduate students, looked up after hearing this sentence.

During his reign, in addition to the old customs such as the God of Wealth and the Door God, it was strictly forbidden for the people to worship gods, especially ancestral temples. Once discovered, they will be punished as treason.

"What's the origin of this jade mother-in-law?"

"It is said that I stayed in the last Qingping Division," Xuan Ji recalled for a moment, "If I remember correctly, the abolition of the Qingping Division was about 700 years ago. At that time, the birth rate of 'Teneng' was already very low. Catch up with Chiyuan and it has been quiet for a long time, and there are very few abnormal energy incidents...or even if it happened, the central government didn't know about it, because the information was not developed back then. Later, the Qingping Division of the imperial capital became a errand, and raised a group of nobles with corpses and vegetarian meals My son, a real monster... There are very few real special talents. Those special talents usually put macaroni on duty in the Yamen, go out by themselves, and have not seen anyone for several years. So there was a political struggle that led to the reform of the bureaucracy, and the abolition of this department that did not work...Xiao Yang, don’t forget, this is not a postgraduate entrance examination center, and points will be deducted for blind writing.”

Yang Chao smirked at him: "Director, although the review is quite tiring, my heart is suddenly full of optimism, and I have a premonition that I will definitely pass the exam this time."

Yang Chao doesn't know what kind of physique it is, and he is particularly susceptible to external emotions. Xuan Ji remembers that sheep in ancient times didn't have this problem. I don't know what kind of blood his ancestors mixed with, but...

He glanced at Sheng Lingyuan, wondering whether the sentence "reviewing is tiring" was Yang Chao's own feeling, or he was also affected by it.

"In that case, she is over 700 years old." At this time, Sheng Lingyuan changed the subject intentionally or unintentionally, "I heard that other than her, all her peers have passed away, so besides knowing and breaking the law, this person is enshrined Besides her birth shrine, where is it in particular?"

Xuan Ji shook her head.

After Chiyuan was extinguished, both spiritual energy and demonic energy were very thin. If it was a big monster, he should have felt it for 700 years.

"Didn't that puppet suggest Granny Yu to go back to her old house? Colleagues from the nearby sub-bureau raided Qingping Town where her old house was located. No one was blocked, but they found that the statue of the goddess in the ancestral hall was gone." Ping Qianru turned her laptop screen Turn around, "This is a photo sent back by Feng Shenyi's colleague."

The ancestral hall is well maintained, and it can be seen that it should be repaired regularly. It is more glamorous than many nationally protected historic sites... It is too glamorous, with a vaguely eerie atmosphere.There were still incense candles that hadn't been cleaned in time before the case. It seemed that the incense was quite strong, but there was only an empty stone support left for the statue enshrined on it.

Luo Cuicui asked, "Boss, is this the legendary power of faith that can make people live longer?"

"No!" Before Xuanji could reply, a loud voice came from the computer—Ping Qianru's computer was connected to an online voice call, and Wang Ze, who arrived first, said, "Then the emoticons you are spreading everywhere now Can't live with the heavens? Let me see, this old woman may have used some kind of forbidden technique."

"Wait," Xuan Ji felt that Wang Ze's background sound was very noisy. The koi seemed to be in a place full of people, and there were all kinds of chatter beside him, "Why is it so noisy? I said, old Wang, you will not forget it again." In order to evacuate the crowd, let us go there to wipe our butts?"

"Did you hear it? You can hear it, too!" Wang Ze shouted excitedly, and shouted at the little brother next to him, "What did I say!"

Xuan Ji: "Huh?"

"I want to get rid of it too!" Wang Ze wanted to cry, "but this group of 'crowds' please don't move! I said Director Xuan, can you fly quickly, our water system has insufficient yang energy, I am really afraid of this Such a scene, we urgently need someone who can ward off evil spirits."

Xuan Ji: "What's the situation?"

"Damn it!"

As soon as Wang Ze finished speaking, a voice almost brushed past his ears, like a mosquito suddenly burrowing into a person's ear. He couldn't hear the content clearly, and there was only a "buzz", and he jumped three feet high with goosebumps all over his body: "Where? Where?"

"The energy detector didn't respond," Zhang Zhao said in confusion, "Boss, it must be a mosquito."

"Nonsense!" Qingping Town is further north than Yong'an, and the temperature has already dropped below freezing point, and people can stand on the ice in the river. Wang Ze is wrapped in a down jacket that looks like a turtle shell, "I'm about to freeze to death." Now, how can a mosquito look like a bomber!"

The entire area of ​​the ancestral hall was isolated, and Fengshen Yi led a group of local field workers to search the vicinity with energy reactors like a landmine.

The people who built the ancestral hall didn't know what they thought, so they erected it next to a cemetery.It is relatively remote here, and cremation has only become stricter in recent years. In the past ten years, it was still a package of coffins and burials in ancestral graves.

Just in time for the first day of October, it is popular among the people to burn "cold clothes" for the dead - usually colored paper, and some pasted into clothes, which are burned together with ghost coins.

The villagers who came to the town to burn paper felt that the atmosphere was not right in the morning, and the children accompanying them kept crying, saying "too many people, so scared".

Then, something even weirder happened.In recent years, those who have some conditions will erect a tombstone for the deceased family members. There are usually black and white photos of the deceased on the monument.After burning the paper, the portraits in the posthumous photos suddenly changed color—the black and white clothes turned red and willow green, and there was another photo of an old man with a big flower on his chest, which was pasted on the paper clothes burned by his family!

The dead old man and the bridegroom looked around from the stone tablet like an official, with a festive smile on his black and white face.

The villagers frightened a few of them on the spot, and ran to the ancestral hall in a frenzy, only to find that the statue was gone.

"Qianru," Gu Yuexi's voice came from the video call, "You guys take a look online first, it doesn't matter if you post any photos or videos... Sigh, having said that, boss, I feel that this place The signal is very good."
