    Chapter 5 Diamond Rings

    Back in the office, the other ghost exorcist from the Green Lantern Festival was no longer there.

    Tang Baishan couldn't wait to ask: "How is it!"

    "No traces were found." Lu Yingjiu said.

    Tang Baishan froze immediately: "Then, what do you want to do now..."

    Lu Yingjiu changed the conversation: "However, I have a way to solve the nightmare."

    That kid is still lying on Tang Baishan's back. After solving the ghost haunting, the nightmare will of course be gone.

    He looked at the kid.

    The little ghost trembled, and his sharp claws stretched out again, grabbing the little flower in the underworld. It grabbed Tang Baishan's back and tried hard to pass the flower to Lu Yingjiu.

    Lu Yingjiu did not answer.

    So, on its unfriendly face, there was a clear disappointment.

    Tang Baishan hurriedly asked, "What can I do?"

    Lu Yingjiu sat on the sofa, fingers crossed. The minaret gesture is a sign of extreme confidence in psychology. He does not appear to be flamboyant when he makes it, but the aura that has been fought for many years comes out all at once.

    He said: "Let's talk about the conditions. After all, it is a commission."

    "Okay, okay, money matters are easy to discuss." Tang Baishan promised.

    "It's not about the money," Lu Yingjiu said, "I want to talk about the live broadcast."

    "Live broadcast..." Tang Baishan froze for half a second, "This, this, I still have to follow the regulations after all..."

    What he said was pure nonsense.

    If he really followed the regulations, Lu Yingjiu's live broadcast application would not have been rejected: he had rich experience, complete materials, and every item fully met the standards.

    Tang Baishan smiled again and said, "Mr. Lu, you shouldn't be the kind of person who can be hard on others..."

    Lu Yingjiu said: "The so-called entrustment is to be recognized by both parties. This is my condition."

    Tang Baishan's complexion changed several times, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He glanced at Chu Banyang next to him several times, wanting to see his reaction.

    Chu Banyang was unmoved.

    ——This, Rang Lu Yingjiu was also surprised.

    With Chu Banyang's strength, he wouldn't be able to detect the kid.

    Lu Yingjiu thought that Chu Banyang would solve the problem impatiently and save face for the Qing Denghui.

    Now he doesn't say a word, what does that mean? Simply defending.

    He glanced at Chu Banyang.

    Chu Banyang turned his face away, as if deliberately not looking at him.

    Lu Yingjiu secretly laughed, thinking it was quite interesting.

    Ye Feng next to him interjected: "Hey, didn't you say that there is still an appointment in the afternoon?"

    Lu Yingjiu glanced at his watch: "I almost forgot, why don't we talk tomorrow? Just one day, you won't be in any danger."

    He stood up and was silent for a few seconds in his heart.

    One second, two seconds, three seconds...

    "Wait a minute! Mr. Lu stay, I will do this, as long as I can drive the ghost away." Tang Baishan wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, his face shaking, "I can sign it for you directly. The live broadcast is just, you have to call and ask for instructions. The two of you have some tea first."

    When Tang Baishan was on the phone, Lu Yingjiu sat on the sofa and drank the good chrysanthemum Pu'er.

    The kid on Tang Baishan's back looked at him and held up the little flower persistently.

    Lu Yingjiu found it interesting.

    It was the first time he had seen this kind of situation - he was obviously a weak kid, but he got into the barrier. Now, it's going to send flowers to an exorcist. The first thought that popped into his mind was that the chicken was greeting the weasel... This kind of kid could be wiped out with a snap of his fingers.

    While Tang Baishan was on the phone with his back to them, Lu Yingjiu tentatively ticked the kid.

    The kid was stunned.

    Lu Yingjiu said with his mouth: "Come down."

    The kid was obedient and jumped down with the flower in hand.

    Tang Baishan suddenly felt as light as a swallow, stunned, and continued talking on the phone.

    There is not too much resentment on the kid, he is completely an ordinary wandering ghost, and he may have a few wishes unfulfilled. Lu Yingjiu didn't care, as long as it didn't hurt anyone, just let them go.

    The kid jumped to his side.

    The flower swayed and swayed in front of Lu Yingjiu.

    Lu Yingjiu paused and took it. The moment his hand touched the flower, the Yin Qi fluctuated.

    It manifested itself.

    The red is gorgeous, the petals unfold silently, layered and brilliant.

    Ye Feng next to him was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly have a flower on your hand?"

    "It was given by that nightmare ghost." Lu Yingjiu also replied in a low voice.

    Ye Feng was startled: "It's here? Why didn't I see it, don't pick up its stuff."

    "It's okay." Lu Yingjiu showed him the palm of his hand.

    He didn't directly touch the flower, but a small talisman paper was attached to his palm. The talisman paper did not spontaneously ignite, proving that the flower was not cursed.

    He looked at the kid again and asked, "Who sent you here?"

    The kid shook his head desperately, and ran away in a flash, his face full of relief, as if he had finally completed the task.

    Tang Baishan finished the phone call and asked someone to bring all the materials.Lu Yingjiu submitted an application on the spot, and he approved it on the spot.

    After the contract was signed, Tang Baishan said cautiously, "Mr. Lu, it's a ghost thing..."

    "It's resolved." Lu Yingjiu said, standing up, "but there are still doubts, don't go back to the 19th floor, and come to me at any time if there is any new situation."

    Several ghost exorcists looked at each other.

    Now that Lu Yingjiu said the matter was resolved, they all got up and prepared to leave.

    Outside, the sky is blue, the sun is bright but not hot. Today's weather is really good, you don't have to do anything, just staring into the distance and blowing the wind will make you feel good. Lu Yingjiu held the small flower in his hand, and the red petals trembled in the wind.

    Before leaving, Chu Banyang looked at him without speaking.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "What do you want to say?"

    Looking at this posture, want to mention the little devil.

    Sure enough, Chu Banyang said, "Is there nothing you want to ask me?" His face was full of writing, "Ask me why I didn't expose you!!"

    "No." Lu Yingjiu waved, "Goodbye."

    Chu Banyang: "..."

    ...

    Although he said "goodbye", in fact, Lu Yingjiu saw Chu Banyang again that evening.

    In the afternoon before that, Lu Yingjiu was tossing the vase.

    To raise that... a little flower in the underworld.

    One is because this flower is a clue, and the other is that it is really beautiful. The petals are spread out layer by layer. At a glance, you can tell that it was carefully selected. Only this one is already more gorgeous than a large bouquet of roses. It would be a pity if it wilted so soon.

    The flower is put into the bottle, and a few drops of water droplets are delicate.

    It looks like the color of blood, but it is not scary.

    He stretched out his hand and took away the little black beast who wanted to pull the petals.

    Little Black Beast: "Ow!"

    It rubbed back and forth in Lu Yingjiu's arms, jumped to the ground with the last struggle, and ran over to grab cat food with the cow and cat. Perhaps because it was born in a trash can, it has an unparalleled passion for eating, and it has to taste everything. The cow cat dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and madly patted its head with its claws. A set of meow punches had no effect, and the little black beast had HP-0.

    After Lu Yingjiu finished tidying up, he went to bed and took a nap according to his habit.

    The flowers on the windowsill became more and more red.

    He dreamed of the day of his ghost wedding.

    Different from the fake wedding dreamed of last time, this time it was the real thing-the master of ceremonies and the goddess in the mansion were babbling and kowtowing, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

    After many years, before the red candle in the dream, Lu Yingjiu listened to the majestic rain and bowed down again to the empty place.

    Get up.

    But it was different from what remembered.

    He was slightly stunned—

    The man in the black champion uniform stood in front of him, his face unclear, as if it was covered by fog.

    Lu Yingjiu raised his head to look at him, and for a moment he only felt the gloomy wind around him, thousands of ghosts wailing, and the chill was bone-chilling. He saw the ghost soldiers lined up, hunting with flags and flags, escorting countless souls, and the little ghosts, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths.

    Even the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was not as powerful as this. It was as if the entire underworld had been miniatured on the person in front of him, looking straight at it was like staring into the abyss.

    Lu Yingjiu's first reaction was—

    That master is really unreliable.

    Why is there a man on the other side? !

    When he came to his senses again, his hand was taken.

    The man's hands were cold, and he put a longevity lock into his palm.

    Today's Lu Yingjiu has been exorcising ghosts for many years. Feeling threatened by him, he instinctively threw the longevity lock out. He flipped the right hand and took out a piece of paper, biting his fingers and thinking about drawing a spell!

    ——Before that, his movements were stopped.

    The man gripped his wrist again, with little strength, but he couldn't break free. Blood trickled down his fingertips and dripped onto the ground.

    What followed was a stalemate for a few seconds.

    Lu Yingjiu was tense all over.

    The man stroked his bleeding fingertips, and after a while, the bleeding stopped. With that blood, he took advantage of the situation and wrote two words on Lu Yingjiu's blank spell paper:

    "Respect"

    The font is flamboyant, and the suffixes and transitions are like sharp knives, which are a bit chilling.

    Lu Yingjiu said hesitantly, "This is... your name?"

    The control of his body came back, and he suddenly withdrew his hand and took a half step back.

    The man didn't say a word, looked at his hand, and looked at the longevity lock on the ground, as if he was thinking seriously about something.

    It seemed that the other party was provoked by his actions.

    Lu Yingjiu's thoughts were surging, thinking about thousands of strategies.

    After a few breaths, the man really moved.

    He slowly took out a... diamond ring box!

    Or the velvet kind!

    Lu Yingjiu was shocked.

    When he opened it, it was really a huge diamond ring, shiny, and he slammed it into his hand.

    This scene is even more outrageous than the little flower in the underworld. Lu Yingjiu couldn't hold back: "Fuck! Don't change the nature of the wedding casually!"

    "..."

    The dream seemed to be interrupted by something, and Lu Yingjiu woke up suddenly.

    He sat up, his head a little confused.

    He felt like he had another weird dream.

    As before, he remembered nothing. But he was pretty sure...he had really dreamed something very strange this time.

    So that the thoughts are not clear, but the mind is full of confusion. He looked back and saw that only a solitary pole was flying in the air of the little underworld flower on the windowsill, and the flower was gone.

    His eyes fell to the side.

    The little black beast: "Ow!" He opened his mouth and gasped, smiled at him, and seemed to be in a good mood, with a remaining petal beside his mouth.

    Lu Yingjiu rested her forehead, her eyes fell back to the bed, and she suddenly found that there seemed to be a black thing protruding under the pillow.

    He was stunned when he picked up the pillow - there was a black box underneath. He picked up the box and opened it to see that it was a huge diamond ring, the kind that sparkled enough to blind a dog.

    Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

    He was bewildered.

    "Om-" the phone rang.

    He answered the phone and heard Ye Feng say, "I just finished a commission, and I'm right next to your house. I'm out for dinner? Let's celebrate that you solved the Tang Baishan matter hahahaha."

    Lu Yingjiu rubbed his browbones and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart: "Where do you want to go? The ramen shop you introduced last time overturned. Can you do it?"

    "Okay - of course I can, how can a man say no. Let me tell you, the Japanese food store has a very high score this time, and I even grabbed a 10% discount coupon, no need for nothing. It's not far from your home anyway. , come quickly."

    Ye Feng sent the location.

    Lu Yingjiu checked, and the subway line 3 can go directly there. He changed his clothes, thought about it, put the diamond ring box in his arms, went downstairs, and walked all the way to the subway station. It was off-duty time, and the subway station was crowded with people, and it took two stops to arrive. When got to the ground, suddenly felt very open.

    The Japanese food store is called "Kumano Izakaya", which is not big or small, and is nestled on the corner of the street. The interior is very delicately furnished, with warm lighting, wooden tables and chairs, and bottles of sake on the bar, with a clear light on the back of the bottle. Several people sat in front of the bar, drinking a little wine and eating sashimi, I don't know how comfortable it is.

    There are a lot of people, but there is no need to wait for a table.

    The two of them were in the corner booth. As soon as Lu Yingjiu opened the menu, Ye Feng patted him violently.

    Lu Yingjiu raised her eyes and just happened to meet Chu Banyang.

    Chu Banyang just walked in, followed by Little Li.

    Chu Banyang was also stunned.

    But Lu Yingjiu said with a smile: "What a coincidence—waiter, give us a big table."

    The shop was busy, and there were no more booths for four people.

    Five minutes later, they were sitting at the bar.

    The atmosphere is a little subtle.

    Mainly because of Lu Yingjiu and Chu Banyang.

    Again, Chu Banyang was born at an untimely time. Since joining the club, Lu Yingjiu has always been crushed by Lu Yingjiu every time, and is always the second place.

    Young Master Chu is pretentious again, and thinks that he and Lu Yingjiu are just born Yu, He Shengliang? All made up.

    It seemed to outsiders that their relationship was extremely rigid, but Lu Yingjiu was too lazy to care, it didn't matter whether Chu Banyang hated him or not.

    Lu Yingjiu added the matcha powder into the cup, and then added boiling water, and the greenness swirled away.

    He said, "Why do you have time to come here?"

    Little Li was frightened by Lu Yingjiu for a round in the morning. Now talking to him, his voice is still empty: "I recommended this restaurant to Master after seeing that this restaurant has a high rating and the sashimi is delicious."

    Chu Banyang stared at the menu without saying a word.

    He frowned slightly.

    Lu Yingjiu thought he was in such a bad mood, but heard Chu Banyang look up and ask the waiter, "You don't have king crabs here?"

    "No." The waiter replied.

    Chu Banyang nodded and pointed to the side of the piercing body: "Let's get one of each."

    Little Li hurriedly said, "Master, don't give me so much."

    "It's alright, try it all." Chu Banyang glanced at Lu Yingjiu and Ye Feng, "I can finish it."

    Like this, it's clear that it's going to be a treat.

    The Chu family's art of exorcising ghosts has been passed down from generation to generation. After the blessing of the peacock god, they began to do business, choose good days and auspicious days, observe feng shui, and detect dragon veins, all the way without hindrance. Now in this Lujiang City, the Chu family group is well known. Chu Banyang was the eldest young master who was born with a golden key. The local tyrant was outrageous—and the young master Chu seemed to have tacitly agreed that if he was there, he would be responsible for paying the bill. Today is no exception.

    After a while, the dishes came, and a table was full.

    Ye Feng and Little Li chatted about a recent corpse dismemberment case.The two were discussing where the head of the corpse went.

    Ye Feng shoved a piece of tuna sashimi, held it up in front of Little Li, and said loudly, "The minced meat on her arm was this color at the time! This is the most beautiful meat I've ever seen!"

    The guest next to you: ? ? ?

    Ye Feng ate the sashimi in one bite and said, "So, where do you think your head is..."

    "I don't know." Little Li said, "It was also chopped up."

    The guest next to him suddenly raised his hand: "Waiter, pay the bill!!"

    Ye Feng and Little Li were still chatting hotly and didn't notice anything unusual.

    The topic of chat at the dinner table of the ghost exorcist is always wild.

    Lu Yingjiu had long been used to it and opened a can of beer to drink.

    Chu Banyang also asked for a jar, and finally asked, "What happened to that kid today?"

    "I don't know." Lu Yingjiu said, "There is nothing wrong with the flower it gave me. I checked the entire 19th floor, and the enchantment was not destroyed. The only possibility I can think of is, Which priest did it?"

    But priests, generally do not interfere in the world.

    Next, the Green Lantern Society will investigate, but it has nothing to do with Lu Yingjiu.

    Lu Yingjiu took a sip of beer.

    Chu Banyang also took a sip.

    He ate a few sushi and took another sip, and Chu Banyang also took a sip.

    After a few times like this, Lu Yingjiu: ?

    He turned his head and glanced at Chu Banyang, Chu Banyang looked straight ahead, expressionless.

    The two of you just drank it one by one, and finally, Chu Banyang finished drinking before Lu Yingjiu.

    The moment he put down the empty jar, his eyes widened, obviously he was physically and mentally happy.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "It's over, this kid has been driven crazy by him, and he has to fight for the first place. Fortunately, what he ordered was not soup. Otherwise, Young Master Chu stubbornly slammed his neck and drank it, and his mouth should not be scalded. He might be complacent after being scalded, feeling that there are more bubbles than others.

    He took another sip of beer and said euphemistically, "Are you... a little perfectionist?"

    Chu Banyang said, "No."

    Lu Yingjiu saw that his face was a little red, and said, "Are you still allergic to alcohol?"

    Chu Banyang: "No, I can drink very well, and I always come first."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    He helped his forehead, Chu Banyang was really helpless.

    Chu Banyang drank too hot, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and had a few scars on his hands—the two of them were the same, and experienced ghost exorcists would always have different kinds of medals.

    With just this small can of beer, he was drunk.

    The amount of alcohol is really bad.

    Lu Yingjiu touched it and thought again that he actually wanted to bring out the diamond ring to Ye Feng to see, and wanted to ask him if he could see any clues. Now that Chu Banyang has just arrived, it seems better to ask him.

    He put the diamond ring box on the table, opened it, and asked, "You..."

    Unexpectedly, Chu Banyang's eyes landed on the top.

    It seems that the problem is seen.

    Lu Yingjiu stopped talking, watching Chu Banyang staring at the diamond ring, his face and ears didn't know if it was because of the smell of alcohol, it became more and more red, almost like dripping blood.

    Then he looked up at Lu Yingjiu, with drunkenness in his eyes, he hesitated: "I..."

    Lu Yingjiu: "Well, you say."

    "you……"

    "Say it."

    Chu Banyang's eyes wandered for a long time, until Ye Feng was about to finish a large plate of sashimi before falling back on the diamond ring: "This, this is not good. Although you have resigned, this is also an office romance... ...If it is exposed, I am the heir of the Chu family, and I will be gossiped. Although I can spend money to withdraw from the hot search, I can also buy a water army... Where do you think the house is better? How about the imported milk powder? The Chu family has their own milk powder factory abroad, so they can be assured of their own production."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Although he didn't understand it all at once, Chu Banyang seemed to be saying something terrifying.

    This is really drunk.

    "Buzzing—"

    Chu Banyang's cell phone vibrated violently on the table.

    He muttered: "It's better to import." Then he answered the phone: "Hey, what's the matter?"
