Chapter 97 Father and Son

The phone number was there, but Lu Yingjiu didn't order it.

"What," Jing Xian glanced at him, "you don't want to find him?"

He knew Lu Yingjiu's interpersonal relationships very well, and knew that there were not many Ye family members he knew well.

As long as you invite ghosts and gods at the designated place, the formation can be completed, and it can be done by anyone from a noble family.

Simply put, there is no difficulty.

"It's not that I don't want to look for it." Lu Yingjiu said, "This is a very dangerous thing."

Outside the car window, a few red-tailed birds were jumping on the branches and chirping.

He continued: "It's not as simple as 'please God'... According to past experience, once they try to set up a formation, they will be blocked by their attendants. Zhang Haokong and many other people are not that dead?"

What's more, Zhang Haokong and the others are by no means idle.

"It's too dangerous." Lu Yingjiu whispered, "Even if you go with a group of elites, the risk is very high."

"Besides, I don't actually want to find that many people..."

"If I don't tell them the truth, they have no reason to believe me. But tell them the whole thing, and they will be cursed by Heavenly Dao again. In case, I mean in case, we fail to solve the Heavenly Dao completely, these people's Won't it be ruined for the rest of your life?"

If you know something you shouldn't know, you will be punished.

That's why, only a small number of people will always know Lu Yingjiu; this is why, when ZHANG Shuwang -shaped single shadow only does not know who to ask for help.

dilemma.

Whoever you turn to for help will be dragged into the sea of ​​flames.

Jingxian was silent for a while and said, "No matter what, I still think you need to tell Ye Feng."

"Why?" Lu Yingjiu looked up at him.

"You pushed me away before, and it took me a long time to find you." Jingxian looked at him, "Maybe there are five hours in between, or six hours. Then a little time, I think it is the same as hundreds of thousands of years. long."

Lu Yingjiu was silent. In fact, he always felt guilty about it.

"You always think about not dragging others down." Jingxian said, "but in fact, it's the saddest thing that you don't tell the truth. If you switch identities with him, do you want him to hide it from you? "

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a few seconds.

If he is Ye Feng, who has been kept in the dark by his old friends, and does not know the truth until the most critical moment, I am afraid he will feel angry and disappointed, right?

Will they feel that their friendship for many years is like a waste of water?

Lu Yingjiu closed his eyes and said softly, "...Well, I see. But before that, I will still ask his opinion."

...

The two flew back to Lujiang City.

When arrived, it was afternoon, and went to Lu Yingjiu.

I haven't come back for several months, and the bar has completely changed. It is obviously too popular. Even during the daytime on weekdays, can see several customers.

It was decorated more delicately by Amei, which attracted several little girls to stop and take pictures,

Yao Gou was in charge of the publicity, and out of nowhere he got a bunch of novel copywriting, dish names and designs and hung them outside the bar. He also brought in a new waiter and bartender. Both of those people used to be insiders, but now they don't do much, and they go out to work.

Lu Yingjiu told them in advance that they would come back.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Feng, who was bartending, raised his head: "Oh, rare customer - come, come, come, have a cocktail that I just learned to mix."

Lu Yingjiu sat at the bar and drank the blue coral reef he handed over.

The two chatted for a while.

After Ye Feng finished mixing wine for the last guest, he picked up the towel to wipe his hands, and said, "Why do you look so preoccupied?"

"I have something to tell you." Lu Yingjiu drank his last drink.

Ye Feng was taken aback by his serious expression and entered the back room full of doubts.

He said, "What's the matter, why are you looking like this?" He thought about it for a while, "Although Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is about to come, everyone is making preparations, it's definitely fine, don't worry too much."

"Hundred ghosts walking at night is a problem," Lu Yingjiu sat down, "but there is another."

"What?" Ye Feng sat down opposite him and asked cautiously, "Could it be that you are bankrupt and the bar can't be opened?"

Lu Yingjiu: "...No."

"Your hair balls starved to death?"

Lu Yingjiu: "...In your heart, am I someone who would abuse animals?"

"Ah!" Ye Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that you are divorced?!!"

Lu Yingjiu: "...that's even more impossible."

Ye Feng scratched his head vigorously: "That's what, it can make you look like a concubine."

Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath: "Ye Feng, if there is one thing related to this Hundred Ghosts Night Walk and my life, but you know that there will be great danger in the future, and even... maybe death, do you still want to know? ?"

Ye Feng was stunned for half a second: "Think, say it."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu: "You should stop thinking about it, don't be so hasty."

"Isn't it about you," Ye Feng said, "I'm not rash, I've been thinking carefully for half a second."

Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm not trying to scare you, it's really dangerous, it's really possible that you will die."

Ye Feng: "Mmmm, I know, I know, just tell me."

Lu Yingjiu: "...No, think about it again. How can you figure it out so quickly?"

Ye Feng said: "I may have always acted very cowardly, but I am also a ghost exorcist. There are people who can do this, how can I be really timid. I will hesitate to stay because of the pursuit of stability. I didn't come to your office at the Blue Lantern Festival. But that doesn't mean I'll hesitate when it comes to life and death."

"And about life and death, I have long thought about it."

Lu Yingjiu was taken aback for a moment: "Have you thought about it for a long time?"

"Yes." Ye Feng said, "I only met you when I was in high school. Not long after we met, you told me that you are surrounded by ghosts, big and small, of all kinds, and it's like having a party at night. ."

"It seems that there is such a thing." Lu Yingjiu thought back.

Ye Feng sighed: "At that time, you also looked serious and said that I might be killed by ghosts. At that time, my ghost exorcism was so bad that I didn't see many ghosts in my life, so I believed it."

"Don't you know, I struggled all night, and finally it was dawn, and I made up my mind to find you again. Because I thought, since I made up my mind to do this business, how could it be because of this? Back off when you have a problem?"

Lu Yingjiu's expression moved slightly.

Ye Feng smiled again: "Second grandpa always told me that I was going to help others."

"Second Master used the first half of his life as an example for me, but in the end, he betrayed the principle and resurrected me. But I have never forgotten what he told me."

"Some time ago, I always had nightmares, dreaming about the village, dreaming about the nursing home, and dreaming about those spiders. I even quit my job at the Blue Lantern Festival and came to the bar for a while. I didn't confess the truth to anyone, I feel like I'm going to live in guilt for the rest of my life."

"But now that you think about it, it takes action to get rid of guilt," he said. "I've rested long enough and it's time to start over. So, tell me everything."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He laughed.

For the next two hours, he went through the whole thing.

From the living sacrifice five hundred years ago, to the efforts of the family, to the protectors of all kinds.

From the huge formation, to the ghost world, to the mirror world.

Ye Feng was greatly shocked, and even said that this is really unimaginable.

When he straightened out his thoughts, he asked again: "You said that you can find a way to find the contaminated heaven, so what should I do?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "According to the arrangement of the formation, you are going to summon Li Snake near the Yueshan Sanatorium."

This location is undoubtedly extremely special to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I know, wrap it on me."

"Don't go alone." Lu Yingjiu said, "I have calculated that as long as there are no more than 5 people on the scene when you summon Lishe, the stability of the formation will not be affected." He hesitated, "but it may be difficult to find someone. very difficult."

"I'll find someone at Ye's house to go with me." Ye Feng said, "If this can stop the ghosts from walking at night, some people will be willing. Don't worry, I won't tell them the whole thing, so as not to invite the 'bad luck' you said, But beyond that, I'll find a way to convince them."

He stood up as he spoke: "I can find someone tonight."

"Don't be in such a hurry." Lu Yingjiu said, "The Chu family and the Chen family are still here."

Ye Feng said strangely: "I can understand the Chen family, why don't you go to the Chu family to find that guy Chu Banyang?"

"He is indeed the best candidate," Lu Yingjiu said, "but I can't make a decision so hastily."

Ye Feng sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You just think too much. People like me who don't know Chu Banyang know that once he knows about this, he will definitely express himself with great interest and look for it. I've found you every chance... so go boldly. I just left too, and I'm going home."

They both got up.

As night fell, there were more customers in the bar.

The new bartender was working hard. Amei was serving drinks to a table of guests, while Jing was sitting in the corner reading a book. He raised his head when he heard Lu Yingjiu's footsteps, and his eyes lit up visibly.

The three of them went out, and Ye Feng said, "Go back, I'll go to Ye's house to find someone. By the way... deal with the past."

"What happened in the past?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

Ye Feng smiled: "You will know later."

Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian left.

Ye Feng got into his little broken car, blocked all the way in the evening rush hour, and finally came to the detached villa after 50 minutes.

The villa is large and luxuriously furnished, and it looks like a rich family at first glance. In the air, there are faint fluctuations of rune paper.

Ye Feng has not come back for many years. He parked the car and wandered around the door for a while.

The key was in his pocket.

He pinched it, listening to the lively conversation in the house, it took a long time before he took it out and opened the door.

There are many pairs of shoes at the door, and there are guests today.

Ye Feng walked to the living room, and sure enough, he saw many elders of the Ye family, as well as other famous ghost exorcists. Seeing him coming, countless eyes cast over him.

"Hey Ye Feng is here!" an uncle greeted, "Your father and your third uncle are above, in the study."

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded.

"Come and sit down!" Another aunt said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Every time I ask, your dad says you're busy with work. Come and see if you've gotten a little tan?"

"Do you want Xiaofeng to eat some fruit? Grapes and peaches."

"How is your job? Did you find a girlfriend? You thought about it at your age."

Most of the people know him, and they haven't seen him for a long time, and there is kindness and enthusiasm between the lines.

Ye Feng was stuffed with snacks and fruits by the elders, and briefly exchanged a few words with them.

Seeing those familiar smiles, he was a little dazed.

It was as if he had seen these smiling faces in countless nightmares.

[You were resurrected by a ghost, you don't even know if you are a human or a ghost]

【What will your family think when you find out? 】

[The Ye family's house rules are so strict, they will sweep you out of the house]

【You are a liar, you lied to them all together with Ye Deyong】

After so long, Ye Feng no longer has sleepless nights.

But he still remembers these dreams clearly.

He said goodbye to the elders and went up the stairs step by step.

Compared to the living room, the second floor is much quieter.

The carpet is soft, and the delicate flowers are set in precious vases. He slowly came to the end, turned around, and the reddish-brown study door appeared in front of him.

Ye Feng knocked on the door lightly.

After a few seconds, a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Ye Feng pushed the door and went in.

His father Ye Shou and Uncle San were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. Seeing him come in, both of them looked a little surprised.

Ye Shou raised his eyebrows, but there was no joy on his face: "Why are you here?"

Soft tone.

Not at all like a father who hadn't seen his son in months.

He put down the teacup and leaned forward. Even if he is old, the muscles on his arms are still as tight as tigers and leopards.

Ye Feng lowered his head and stood in front of him.

Ye Shou has five children, and Ye Feng is the middle one.

It is said that the eldest and the youngest are favored, he is the one who is standard and ignored.

Ordinary talent, ordinary appearance, ordinary character, ordinary everything.

Ye Shou's attitude towards him is always like this, neither cold nor hot, neither salty nor bland, and because of the strict discipline as a child, Ye Feng is a little terrified of him - he can still remember from time to time: he can't learn to run paper, he can't make it When he knew the formation technique, Ye Shou never hit him.

Ye Shou just stood aside indifferently, glanced at Ye Feng, and left.

That look was more uncomfortable than beating and scolding, and it made Ye Feng's heart hurt.

Later, even under the same roof, he and Ye Shou would never speak more than five sentences a week.

In countless nightmares, the protagonist is Ye Shou.

Ye Feng dreamed that after he confessed, his father looked at him with disappointed and angry eyes and told him to get out of the house... In fact, this was the person he was most afraid to face.

but……

Ye Feng raised his head and looked directly at Ye Shou.

He remembered the story Lu Yingjiu told him.

——Lu Yingjiu actually remembered the names and experiences of those people clearly, and told him about it again.

In order to protect everyone equally, in order to overthrow this cruel and inhumane way of heaven, he saw the perseverance of generations of ghost exorcists, and the sacrifices of one unsung hero after another.

The endings are not happy, those stories are full of regret, unwillingness, love and courage.

So Ye Feng recalled that a long time ago, when he was very young, Ye Shou once held him and asked, "Ye Feng, do you want to learn to exorcise ghosts later?"

"Want to—" he replied, "of course—"

Ye Shou rarely showed a smile and said, "Then you will definitely be a brave person."

So Ye Feng recalled his original intention of becoming a ghost exorcist.

Twenty years later, he and his father looked at each other, and his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

Ye Shou tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly impatient.

Ye Feng took a deep breath: "I have two things I want to tell you."

He felt his voice shaking.

"First, I died nineteen years ago and was resurrected by a ghost;"

"Second, I hope you can go back to Yueshan Sanatorium with me once to complete the final formation."
