    Chapter 99 Jingxian's Button (two more)

    After getting into Jingxian's car, Lu Yingjiu pulled on his seat belt: "Let's go."

    "How's it going?" Jing Xian stepped on the accelerator.

    "No problem." Lu Yingjiu said, "The rest is just the Chen family..."

    The Chen family is the most difficult.

    Ye family and Chu family, he knows more people anyway. The Chen family is completely unfamiliar. The last time they met was when they were tracking down human skin masks.

    If he had to say it, the people he knew best in the Chen family were Chen Xiaoling and Chen Zheng.

    He had a life-saving grace for Chen Xiaoling's mother. If he opened his mouth, Chen Xiaoling would definitely be willing.

    She will ask God, but she is not an exorcist in essence. It would be tantamount to suicide if she really let her fight with the servants.

    So he didn't consider Chen Xiaoling.

    As for Chen Zheng...

    They have worked together for many years and have been drinking tea together.Lu Yingjiu left the blue festival, Chen Zheng was the most pressured, and the two were really unhappy.

    After that, in the case of Mrs. Chen, Chen Zheng was stabbed a few times by Chen Qi and was admitted to the ICU, and Lu Yingjiu went to see him with the fruit - this was the last time they met. When Lu Yingjiu came back from the ghost world, Chen Zheng also sent a few messages to condolence to him.

    Other than that, there is no other intersection.

    But anyway, still have to try it.

    Lu Yingjiu sent a message to Chen Zheng, saying that he was near the Green Lantern Festival and asked him where he was, so that it would be inconvenient to meet him.

    After a few seconds, Chen Zheng replied to him: [I'm at the teahouse at the intersection of the street, the one you've been to]

    So Jingxian turned the car around and drove over there.

    When he reached the downstairs of the teahouse, he asked Lu Yingjiu, "Am I still waiting for you in the car?"

    "Well, thank you for your hard work." Lu Yingjiu kissed him.

    Suddenly, my heart was full of heart: "I don't work hard, I didn't wait in the car, and I just took Hair Balls to go shopping."

    Hair Balls in the rear seat: "Oh!" Lick the corner of his mouth.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    I definitely eat ghosts for hair balls again.

    He got out of the car and went up the stairs to the second floor.

    This teahouse is hidden in the busy city, and it is very elegantly furnished. The entrance is the rockery and fountain, and all kinds of potted plants are green. It was a weekday afternoon, and there were not many people.

    Following the guide, Lu Yingjiu came to the innermost room.

    Pushing the door and entering, the fragrance of tea bursts, and a pot of scented tea is bubbling slightly. The middle-aged man with a beer belly was pouring tea, he pushed a bamboo silk tea cup towards him, and said with a smile: "Come on, drink some, the jasmine tea someone just gave me."

    Lu Yingjiu sat down and said, "Why are you drinking tea alone?"

    "Isn't this a sudden tea addiction?" Chen Zheng turned the cup in his hand, "I just came back from a meeting and passed by here, so I just came to the teahouse and sat down."

    Lu Yingjiu nodded and took a sip of the scented tea.

    Chen Zheng's tea making skills are still so good, with top-quality tea leaves, the fragrance of jasmine is brought out.

    Lu Yingjiu likes scented tea, and Chen Zheng also knows this, and used to make it for him.

    After drinking half a cup, Chen Zheng said, "Xiaolu, what's the matter with you coming here so suddenly?"

    Lu Yingjiu repeated the same opening remarks, saying that there was something about Baigui Yexing and himself.

    Sure enough, unlike Ye and Chu, there was obvious hesitation on Chen Zheng's face.

    He put down the teacup and sat up straight: "Can't you let me hear what's going on before making a decision?"

    Lu Yingjiu said, "No, just knowing this will bring bad luck."

    There was a long silence in the tea room.

    The teacup is empty, and the boiling water is bubbling.

    Chen Zheng brewed and added tea again, and said after a long time, "But we have been preparing for this ghost night walk for a long time."

    He took a deep breath: "I haven't been home a few times for more than half a month because of this, running around and urging progress. Now that the defense line has been deployed, all kinds of talismans have been laid out, and there are differences in the city. Patrol. The biggest ghost night walk in history is dangerous, but I think we can handle it."

    The implication is that there is no need to take risks, and there is no need to stop Baigui through Lu Yingjiu's method.

    "Besides," he looked at Lu Yingjiu, "don't you also say that you're not guaranteed to succeed."

    "Yes." Lu Yingjiu nodded, "No guarantee of success."

    Chen Zheng slowly rubbed the teacup again and raised his head to drink tea.

    After a few sips, he said: "It's the most important moment. Morale is very important."

    "The last time the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, the owner of the Ye family passed away, and the news was kept under pressure until the night walk was over. "

    "Xiaolu... After all, I'm the president of the Blue Lantern Festival and one of the backbones of the Chen family. If something really happens, it will have a big impact on the Blue Lantern Festival and the Chen family. I believe they won't become one. However, we should avoid this risk as much as possible.”

    Lu Yingjiu nodded: "I see."

    He didn't feel disappointed. From the beginning, he didn't expect Chen Zheng to agree.

    Chen Zheng rubbed his brow bone.

    Before he knew it, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be restless. He said, "Come on, Xiaolu, drink tea slowly, we haven't sat and chatted for a long time."

    "I'll leave after drinking this cup." Lu Yingjiu said, "Someone is waiting for me."

    "Oh, that's good, that's good." Chen Zheng squinted and nodded, pulling out a smile, "Don't waste your time."

    Lu Yingjiu finished drinking the scented tea, stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

    Chen Zheng said, "Xiaolu, I want to ask another question."

    "What?" Lu Yingjiu stood still, thinking that you and Chu Banyang really look alike. They always ask questions when they catch someone and want to leave.

    The steam made the lid rattle.

    Chen Zheng asked: "Is this matter related to Chen Minlan?"

    Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment, remembering that Chen Zheng was under Chen Minlan, and replied, "Yes, it has something to do with her. Did she mention it to you?"

    "No." Chen Zheng said, "I vaguely noticed a little bit and knew what plan she and others arranged together. But I don't know the specific content."

    He showed an inexplicable smile: "Now that I think about it, she must have wanted to tell me a few times, but she didn't say it, but she didn't say it. I don't know if she was worried that I would suffer the so-called 'bad luck'. "

    "It should be." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

    "She actually told me another thing." Chen Zheng said, "On the night of the murder case, she called me."

    Lu Yingjiu knew about this.

    He heard the conversation in the listening mirror.

    The old lady Chen finally said that she hoped that Chen Zheng could become a brave and kind person.

    Chen Zheng said: "She told me to be careful about Chen Qi, saying that he was suspicious. After her death, I was in a state of depression for a long time. Do you know who came to comfort me every day?"

    "It's Chen Qi."

    He squeezed the cup in his hand tightly, and his fingernails were slightly white: "He ran up and down for me every day, and also arranged for the funeral of the old lady, settled her other relatives, and made everything leak-proof. If it weren't for him, the Chen family would have made a mess of porridge long ago."

    "Then what?" Lu Yingjiu said lightly, "Just because of this, you gave up the pursuit of him?"

    "Not all." Chen Zheng sighed, "When I recover, I will start investigating him."

    "But I have to say that those illusions have deceived me. I always think late at night that he is my only relative. No matter how close the rest of the Chen family are to me, they are not my brother after all."

    "So, after I tracked it down and got no evidence, I was completely at ease with him."

    Lu Yingjiu said, "If you don't relax your vigilance completely, it will not be my turn to catch him."

    "Yes." Chen Zheng nodded, "Yes, you are right. I should have caught him long ago."

    At this moment, a sullen look appeared on his face.

    Lu Yingjiu had never seen him look like this before.

    The bamboo silk teacup turned a few times in his hand, and Chen Zheng said slowly: "Xiaolu, although you can't tell it, you actually look down on me in your heart."

    "No." Lu Yingjiu said.

    Chen Zheng was a little surprised, his hands stopped, and he didn't even care about drinking tea.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Why can't I tell you? I just look down on you."

    Chen Zheng: "..."

    He was holding the cup, and he did not lift it up nor put it down.

    "I'm leaving." Lu Yingjiu said.

    He closed the door of the tea room, leaving behind Chen Zheng who was embarrassed to the point of being on pins and needles.

    Back to Jingxian's car.

    Jingxian asked, "He didn't agree?"

    "Well, it's expected." Lu Yingjiu put down the seat and lay down comfortably, "I'll think about other candidates."

    "go home?"

    "go home."

    ...

    As soon as went home, Hair Balls fought with cows and cats for cat food, and the hair fluttered during the fighting process.

    Jing Xian made dinner.

    Lu Yingjiu rarely cooks, pulls up loose home clothes, and folds vegetables, slices meat, and brushes crabs with him. During this period, there are many love words and ear-buds.

    By the time the hot food was served, the night had already fallen. They turned on the lights in the dining room, set the dishes, and began to eat dinner.

    Eating and eating, Lu Yingjiu suddenly said, "When the hundred ghosts walk at night, do you want to go back to the ghost world?"

    He asked for a reason.

    It is not only the exorcists who contribute to the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk.

    The priests will also stop the ghosts from walking at night, which is one of their duties.

    One night before, before going to bed, Lu Yingjiu didn't know how to chat with Jing Xian about this topic.

    Jing Xian put his arms around him and said, "The essence of Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is the explosion of Yin Qi in the ghost world."

    "For example, there will be various natural disasters in the world, such as earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, etc. The natural disasters in the ghost world are the eruption of yin qi. Every once in a while, the abyss on the eighteenth floor of the ghost world will start to shake."

    "There is no end to the abyss, all the ghosts that fall down starve to death and die of old age. It is also the place where the yin qi is generated. Once it is restless, the yin qi will start from the eighteenth floor and sweep up layer by layer, eroding all the ghosts."

    "The ghosts in Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are all lonely and wild ghosts eroded by Yin Qi."

    Lu Yingjiu let out an "oh", tugged at Jingxian's button, and asked, "How many ghosts have been dealt with in the ghost world? We've asked many priests before, but we couldn't tell."

    "It's about 60%, 70%." Jing Xian thought for a while, "The rest can't be stopped, and they will come to the world."

    Lu Yingjiu tugged at the button while listening carefully.

    Pulling, pulling, pulling, the hand was held.

    Lu Yingjiu: ?

    Then all their buttons were opened.

    Now that the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is approaching, Lu Yingjiu thinks of this again.

    Jingxian was noncommittal to his question: "Maybe."

    "Let's go back." Lu Yingjiu said, "This time is extraordinary. You are a priest, and only in the ghost world can you exert all your strength."

    Jingxian wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.

    Lu Yingjiu knew what he was thinking.

    If he had a choice, he would never want to separate from Jingxian.

    The two were silent, and Lu Yingjiu put a chopstick in Jingxian's bowl.

    They lie together at night when they go to bed.

    Lu Yingjiu was still pulling on the button - with his perseverance, the button finally showed a faint sign that it was about to fall.

    Jingxian said, "Is this button so fun?"

    "Anyway, it's boring, so just pick it up." Lu Yingjiu said.

    Jingxian: "You are really boring, we can play something else."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Lu Yingjiu: "Didn't I 'play' with you every day? If you don't sleep, I will."

    Jingxian was speechless in regret.

    The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of the second hand.

    Lu Yingjiu was a little sleepy, and after a while, he said to Jingxian, "If it's really necessary, you can go to the ghost realm. I don’t know what will happen to this side of the sun.”

    Jingxian said: "At that time, you have already activated the formation. If you really found the way of heaven, do you want to go there alone?"

    He added: "As long as I stop the first wave of frenzy, there will be a gap in between, and then I can come back temporarily."

    "Probably not," Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "As long as the formation is activated, Tiandao will surely detect us and will not give us another chance to breathe. Once the formation is activated, I must act immediately."

    Jingxian: "..."

    He gently grabbed Lu Yingjiu's hand.

    Lu Yingjiu smiled lightly: "However, I promised not to leave you again. No matter what happens, I will insist until you come."

    In the darkness, Jingxian looked at him intently: "You promise?"

    "Well." Lu Yingjiu kissed his hand, "I promise."

    Jing Xian's face became a little better.

    After appeasing the ghost king, Lu Yingjiu yawned and continued to pull the button.

    Suddenly a light hand

    He looked down, and the black button finally didn't hold up, and he pulled it off. The white line collapsed, and the pajamas opened, revealing large areas of skin and looming muscle lines.

    Lu Yingjiu raised her head subconsciously, just in time to meet Jingxian's eyes.

    There was a dim and excited light in Jing Xian's eyes.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Big things are bad.

    That night, he "played" with Jingxian for another round before he could sleep well, thinking that in the future, only Jingxian will be allowed to wear a pullover.

    When he woke up the next morning, Lu Yingjiu finished breakfast in a daze.

    After finishing the dishes, he took out his mobile phone.

    Ye Feng still didn't reply.

    At noon yesterday, he wanted to call Ye Feng, but Ye Feng said that he had something to do and it was inconvenient to speak, and he had to ask for leave from the bar.

    In the evening, Lu Yingjiu also sent him a message, which has not been written down until now.

    He frowned.

    "What's wrong?" Jing Xian mentioned Hair Balls to the sofa, and he also poured it on the sofa. He just held Lu Yingjiu, "He didn't reply?"

    "Yeah." Lu Yingjiu nodded, "I'm a little worried, go take a look at his house."

    Jingxian: "...There is someone at the door."

    "Um?"

    Jingxian said, "There is someone at the door."

    After five or six seconds, the doorbell rang.

    Lu Yingjiu went over and opened the door.

    The middle-aged man stood outside, dressed in sportswear, with slightly white temples, but the muscular lines of his arms were still obvious.He is not tall, but his whole body reveals a beast-like temperament, lean and strong.

    Ye Shou.

    Ye Feng's father.

    When he was the chief, Lu Yingjiu had met Ye Shou several times, and the two had no personal contact at all.

    He naturally knew that the father-son relationship between the two was tense, and he hadn't spoken properly for several years.This visit was really unexpected.

    Lu Yingjiu: "...do you have anything to do?"

    He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is Ye Feng with you?"
