As New Year's Day was approaching, Gui Qiutang had a lot of affairs these days, so Chu Chen had to get up early to go to work.

When Chu Chen woke up, Han Rui had already gone out to buy breakfast. He dressed sleepily and came to the living room, only to see Chu Yang sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette with a sad face.

Chu Chen frowned, walked over and asked, "What's the matter, you've been sitting here in a daze this morning." He looked at the cigarette in the other party's hand, and continued, "I remember you didn't smoke before, when did you learn to smoke?" .”

Hearing this, Chu Yang scratched his short hair irritably, and his voice was hoarse with a hint of hangover: "I haven't smoked a few times, you know that my lighter can't be used, and I often can't find a fire with cigarettes..."

Knowing that Chu Yang wanted to say more than this, Chu Chen didn't interrupt him, but stood quietly by the side with his hands folded, waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't intend to ask or even answer the conversation, Chu Yang sighed, and confessed helplessly, "He sent me a text message this morning, saying that he would arrive in the afternoon...Chu Chen, I really don't want to see him now."

"Then what are you going to do." Chu Chen sat down while talking, looked at his only cousin who could be called a relative, and asked, "Why are you avoiding him? If you don't explain why I didn't can't help you."

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Chu Yang's face changed slightly, and then he called out the long-haired beauty that Chu Chen had seen before, and said, "It's because of her, your sister-in-law is worried about me, and insists on forcing me to find a way to remove the vertical ghost seal." ..."

It turned out that Chu Yang, as the current head of the Chu family, made a contract with this long-haired and elegant woman by chance a few years ago. The requirements of this contract are very strict, and the beauty is not It looks so simple on the surface, but it is an evil ghost that has been wandering in the ancient tomb for hundreds of years.

Forcibly imprisoning a vicious evil ghost by his side to do things for him is the most advanced technique in the Chu family's ghost sealing technique. The person who makes this contract is called the ghost master, just like his own ghost slave. A strange black pattern will appear, and that black pattern is the vertical ghost seal.

That's why when Chu Chen first met Chu Yang, he saw a strange pattern on the forehead of the woman behind him.

With the help of such a powerful evil ghost, Chu Yang naturally no longer has to worry about those unimaginable problems in the ancient tomb, but after getting these benefits, the price he has to pay is also extraordinary.If he wanted to forcibly keep an evil spirit in the world, Chu Yang had to exchange his own lifespan. To put it simply, he was using his life to extend the time that the evil spirit stayed by his side.

But if the ghost seal is not removed for a day, Chu Yang's lifespan will continue to decrease until he dies.

It's not that Chu Yang doesn't want to lift the vertical ghost seal, but he has too many concerns. He is afraid that once the vertical ghost seal is lifted, his strength will drop sharply, and then going to the ground to rob the tomb may become a burden.

But the person Chu Yang liked didn't think so. He insisted that Chu Yang release the vertical ghost mark, because he didn't want to see Chu Yang die early.

"That's why I used the auction as an excuse to hide here." Chu Yang said in a weak voice, "I'm afraid of seeing him now, and I don't know how to tell him... We have experienced so many things together , and almost died together in the desert, I was never so afraid at that time as I am now."

Probably able to understand Chu Yang's mood, Chu Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "It's useless to hide this kind of thing, you'd better explain it clearly to him, and discuss a solution, but... I advise you to put It’s good to get rid of that thing, you can only choose one, the evil spirit and the lover.”

Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded thoughtfully and did not speak any more.

After breakfast, Han Rui drove Chu Chen and Chu Yang to Guiqiu Hall.

On the way, Chu Chen officially introduced to Han Rui his cousin who worked in the underworld. Han Rui briefly recalled the list of VIPs in the information, and then realized that Chu Yang was the one who should focus on "serving" one.

But looking at Chu Yang's playful smile, Han Rui couldn't associate him with the vicious tomb robber.

As soon as he entered the Guiqiu hall, Han Rui, the acting boss, was called by the duty manager to the office to review the documents and materials. Chu Chen checked the time and decided to take Chu Yang around the hall while he was free.

The decoration in Guiqiu Hall is simple and beautiful, classical and quiet, and expensive antiques and curios are placed everywhere, ordinary people always stop and watch for a long time when they enter here.

Although Chu Yang was not very good at antiques, he could tell that the things here were all good, so he couldn't help but admired secretly while walking behind Chu Chen.

When the two walked into the inner hall, they saw a young man in fashionable clothes standing in front of a picture of peonies. The young man turned his back to the two of them, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding a mobile phone, as if he was texting .

When Chu Yang saw the young man, he immediately grinned, walked over a few steps and said, "Hey, I met my brother again."

The young man turned his head, and when he saw Chu Yang, surprise immediately appeared on his expressionless face, he closed his phone and said, "Oh, brother Chu, I said that I should be able to meet you here, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon. "

Chu Yang remembered the kindness of the train ticket in his heart, and knew that if he said that he would pay back the money here, it would hurt his feelings, so he pointed to Chu Chen beside him and said, "This is my cousin Chu Chen. How about the three of us go out for a drink, just to chat about what will happen in a few days."

Chu Chen understood that Chu Yang wanted to take the opportunity to repay the previous favor, so he nodded without thinking, "Then let's go, I'll treat you, and I invite you to try the breakfast at Shouyang Pavilion."

The young man is also a smart person, so naturally he would not make more excuses, the three of them walked out of Guiqiu Hall, took a taxi, and drove directly to Shouyang Pavilion.

Sitting in the private room, Chu Chen and the young man handed business cards to each other, only then did they realize that the boy's name was Liu Zhuoyan, and this trip was also for the auction on New Year's Day.

After listening to Liu Zhuoyan's simple self-introduction, Chu Chen nodded with a smile and asked, "There is still some time before the New Year's Day auction. Do you have other things to do when you come so early?"

Liu Zhuoyan's face changed, and he replied with a depressed expression: "To tell you the truth, I was kicked out by the boss. We originally prepared two treasures in our hall for this auction, but just a few days ago, One of the Jade Gems was stolen by someone. The Jade Gems have a great background and are very valuable. It is said that it was one of a set of ceremonial weapons specially ordered by Shang Wang Wuding after he pacified Guifang. Later, our people checked When I realized that the person who stole the jade gem was a woman, and that woman came to City B, I hurried over without stopping, hoping to retrieve that treasure before the auction started."

Hearing that the person who stole the jade Ge was a woman, Chu Chen's heart sank, and immediately thought of the copper inner jade Ge that Song Min gave to him before, and he couldn't help thinking to himself, could it be such a coincidence that his mother actually stole something from someone else? and hand it over for your own preservation.But what's the use of this Yu Ge for her?How did a weak woman steal jade Ge from a group of tomb robbers?

Sensing Chu Chen's expression was different, although Chu Yang didn't understand, he changed the subject with a smile and said: "Then you are not the only one who came this time, other people are also looking for news about this woman, if there is anything that needs help Just tell me, I will try my best to help you.”

"Brother Chu's words are enough." Liu Zhuoyan squinted his eyes, looked at Chu Yang and said with a smile: "If you have a chance, go to our place to play, brother, please, you will be provided with food and shelter."

The three of them chatted about other things after that, but Chu Chen's mind was completely entangled in that Yu Ge, and he didn't pay attention to what the two of them were talking about.

After coming out of Shouyang Pavilion, Chu Yang and Liu Zhuoyan went to the Antique Street together, while Chu Chen was called back to Guiqiu Hall to deal with matters.

At noon, Han Rui found Chu Chen, and the two went out to eat together.

Finding that Chu Chen seemed a little absent-minded, Han Rui frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Chu Chen looked at Han Rui, thought for a while, and told him about meeting Liu Zhuoyan in the morning, and then said, "I never thought she would steal other people's things, now I can only hope that she has left City B Otherwise, once those people find it, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Understanding the difficulty of this matter, Han Rui said, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Shaking his head, Chu Chen sighed, and said: "I can only wait and see what happens. I don't know what she is thinking at all. Her current situation is very wrong. If there is really no other way, I will return the jade Ge to them."

Nodding, Han Rui didn't say anything else, just looked at Chu Chen quietly, and then raised his hand to pick up food for him.

After eating, the two walked side by side in the direction of Gui Qiutang. Han Rui bowed his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Chu Chen, "Are you free on Christmas day?"

Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, guessing what Han Rui was thinking, he smiled and said, "Why, do you want to spend Christmas with me?"

Hearing the banter in Chu Chen's words, Han Rui turned his head and gave a low "hmm".

Seeing Han Rui's embarrassment, Chu Chen smiled even more complacently. Taking advantage of no one around, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "As long as you come, I'll be free."

Han Rui looked at Chu Chen when he heard the words, his deep black eyes flickered, but he still didn't say anything about the gift after all.

After playing all afternoon, Chu Yang returned to Guiqiu Hall in high spirits. He was now penniless and didn't know the way, so he had to go home with Chu Chen. Han Rui said hello in advance to go back to Han's villa. The three said goodbye at the gate of Guiqiu Hall.

The two brothers were chatting while walking, when Chu Chen was asking how Chu Yang was doing at the Antique Street in the afternoon, he felt the people beside him suddenly stop, and he couldn't help turning his head and asking in doubt, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He just stared ahead with a complicated expression.

Chu Chen followed his gaze and found a strange man standing there with his hands in his pockets not far ahead.

The man was tall and strong, with a very handsome appearance. His pure black hair was slightly disheveled by the breeze. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked mature and stable, exuding a kind of calm indifference.In addition, those deep black eyes were also looking at the people around him.

There was a sliver of understanding in his heart, Chu Chen symbolically nodded to the man, and after receiving the gift from the other party, he quietly turned and left.

Before walking around the corner, Chu Chen vaguely heard Chu Yang whisper: "... Dao Feng."
