After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

At this moment, if Chu Banyang was really a peacock, then Lu Yingjiu would see that his hair was blown up and messed up.

But humans are good at hiding emotions after all.

Chu Banyang had a rigid face, his whole body was extremely stiff, flustered, nervous, and uneasy were mixed together, and there was also a bit of shame after his secret thoughts were punctured.

After a long time, he squeezed out a cold sound from his throat: "What are you talking about in your sleep? How could I like you?"

"Oh," Lu Yingjiu nodded with no expression on his face, "I just asked, just in case. If it's a misunderstanding, then I apologize."

He jumped off the railing and said, "Let's go back to the classroom."

Then, there was silence between the two.

Lu Yingjiu walked in front, and Chu Banyang followed behind with a serious face. Several times because of being too nervous, they were on the same hands and feet.

The heavens can learn from it, Young Master Chu has never been so embarrassed since he became an adult. There is no one around, but he feels that the whole world is watching him.In just half a minute, his back was sweating.

He inexplicably thought of Chu Qianju's words.

Chu Qianju said: "If one day you meet someone you like, you must express it directly. If you keep hiding it, how will others know? I'm afraid you will miss someone."

There was a strong uneasiness pervading Chu Banyang's heart.

When he was almost in the classroom, Chu Banyang choked out another sentence: "Why do you ask me this question? Where am I? Have I ever given you such an illusion?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yingjiu thought for a while, "It's just a sudden feeling."

He doesn't know much about emotional matters.

After getting to know Jing Xian, he realized for the first time what it is like to like someone's eyes.Then he looked at Chu Banyang again, and for some reason, such thoughts came to his mind.

Lu Yingjiu said: "I was just thinking, even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility that this is the case, then I have to explain it clearly to you."

"...What are you talking about?" Chu Banyang asked.

Lu Yingjiu let out a soft "huh" and said, "Make it clear that I already have someone I like."

Chu Banyang stood still in place.

There was almost astonishment on his face, and he stood there for a long time, unable to move anymore.

Lu Yingjiu didn't notice his abnormality and entered the classroom.

In the classroom, Wu Runzhi was still in his seat, dragging Fang Yu to talk, as if he wanted to finish talking over the past ten years.

Fang Yu has become a ghost, and automatically filters out all the unreasonable things in his words. He nodded and listened, and burst out into a hearty laugh when he heard something funny.He patted Wu Runzhi on the shoulder, almost crying with laughter: "Old Wu! Where do you come from so many funny stories!"

"And there is more," Wu Runzhi said, "I was on a business trip before, and I went to another place. I didn't know it was made of insects until I finished eating a dish! It scared me to death... That game console you always wanted to buy, It’s also the latest two generations, when will we play together?”

After speaking, he began to cry again.

For a moment, Fang Yu was laughing beside him, he was crying there, and another classmate outside fell off the window sill and died...

The scene was very chaotic at one time.

When Jing Xian saw him enter the classroom, he immediately raised his head and said, "Yao Gou wants me to tell you that just now two girls said that they would go to the dormitory to play pen fairy."

As soon as Lu Yingjiu heard it, she knew that the two of them must be in danger.

The methods used by this group of people to kill are full of tricks, and it is impossible to guard against.

He supported his forehead and said, "Let's go and see the situation, maybe we can save them..."

He and Jing Xian walked towards the dormitory building.

The dormitory building is quite empty, not many people, not to mention most of them are black fuzzy figures, standing in place blankly.

Lu Yingjiu walked and said, "Did Yao Gou tell you the dormitory number?"

Jing Xian said, "It's on the fourth floor."

They went up to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was dead quiet, empty. Looking into the dormitory, there were empty beds. It didn't look like someone lived there, but it was quite suitable for secretly playing supernatural games.

Lu Yingjiu asked again: "What's the specific room number?"

This time, Jing Xian did not answer him.

Lu Yingjiu waited for a long time without waiting for an answer.

Then with a heavy hand, Jing Xian directly pushed an empty dormitory and dragged him in.

Lu Yingjiu:?

Before he could react, Jing Xian had already cornered him and started kissing wildly.

Lu Yingjiu:? ?

He was completely at a loss, and put his hand lightly on Jing Xian's arm, but he was powerless to resist, he could only let Jing Xian attack the city, forcing out a few muffled groans from him.

Jing Xian was extraordinarily strong this time, and insisted on pressing him down and kissing him for a long time.

In the end, Lu Yingjiu snorted softly, pushed him away forcibly, Jingxian stopped reluctantly, but still refused to let him go.

Lu Yingjiu was forced to huddle between his embrace and the wall, with his warmth on her lips, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Jing Xian didn't speak, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice: "...I don't know. But I was sitting in the classroom just now, and suddenly I felt very upset, and the jealousy was gushing out like a fountain - just like when you got married The unhappiness that woke me up that day."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

It seems that the vinegar radar is working again.

Jing Xian said: "I'm so sore, what did you and that Chu person talk about on the rooftop?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yingjiu said, "I just asked about him and Chu Qianju, and then asked him if he likes me... Mmm."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kissed by Jing Xian again and hummed softly.

Finally he pushed Jing Xian away again, Jing Xian said: "I haven't been with you for a few minutes, and you actually found someone else..."

"What?" Lu Yingjiu couldn't laugh or cry, "I told him well, I have someone I like."

"You really said that?" Jing Xian frowned.

"What are you doing to lie to you?" Lu Yingjiu reached out and touched his head, "Stop being jealous."

Jing Xian hugged him for a while longer before he was satisfied, and said: "I was thinking, if you didn't talk to him clearly..."

"How about you?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

Jing Xian didn't answer, his eyes drifted vigorously to the bed next to him.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Suddenly I felt that I was in danger just now.

He patted Jingxian, and hurriedly comforted him: "Have a little trust in me, why am I such a scumbag."

"I trust you very much." Jing Xian stroked his side face, "But trust is one thing, jealousy is another."

"Okay, as expected of jealousy." Lu Yingjiu said with a smile.

After making such a fuss for a while, the two went to the student dormitory.

Sure enough, as Jing Xian said, there was a piece of paper on the dormitory table, with numbers from 1 to 10 and "yes" and "no" written on it, and a pen master's handwriting had already been written on it.

A black pen fell to the ground, and the two girls nestled on the same bed, shivering.

Lu Yingjiu picked up the pen: "Have you hired a pen fairy?"

Girl A nodded: "Mm, yes..."

Lu Yingjiu asked: "What questions did you all ask it?"

Girl B said: "We asked how it died."

Inviting Bixian, the most taboo thing is to ask how he died. These two people must have stepped on a thunderbolt.

Judging by the flustered appearance of the two of them, they must have not sent Bixian away properly, and they were probably going to be cold.The point is that they are already ghosts, and Lu Yingjiu can't do anything to change the illusion.

Sure enough, just as he was thinking this way, girl A suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! My head hurts!"

After speaking, his head tilted and he lost his breath.

Girl B also covered her head, showing pain on her face, and said after a while, "Oh, I'm dead."

And then died.

The bodies of the two turned into black mist and dispersed.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

For nothing, he calmly called Wu Runzhi and told him that two of his classmates had died again.

Wu Runzhi cried again, hung up the phone, hugged his good brother Fang Yu and continued to cry.

Fortunately, the time flow is fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is already night on campus.The teaching buildings were lit up, and the roads illuminated the path between schools.

One more day will be the 24th, the day of parting.

……

Taking advantage of the students' evening self-study, Lu Yingjiu took Jing Xian to Chu Qianju's office.

There was no one else in the whole office, his desk was clean, except for paper, pens and documents, there was nothing extra, just as indifferent as himself.

Lu Yingjiu opened every drawer, carefully looking through the contents.He also used his lockpicking skills to open the locked cabinet with a paper clip.

Anyway, in the illusion, there is no privacy and no human rights, and everything happened in the past, so no one will feel guilty.

Jing Xian helped him rummage through it, but it wasn't enough to cover the entire table with the documents, so they put them on the floor.

After looking for him, he became dishonest and approached Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at Chu Qianju's notes on the ground, when suddenly a warm person came up behind him.

Jing Xian was behind him, almost embracing him, putting his chin on his shoulder.

"I'm doing my business, I'm doing my business." Lu Ying stopped him, but didn't reach out to pick him up.

"I'm just doing business." Jing Xian said, "Sorting out files is not doing business."

Lu Yingjiu could not refute.

After all, he came from an idol drama, so Jingxian really takes dating as a serious matter.

He just let Jingxian hold him and read the same document with him.

After a while, Lu Yingjiu let out a "huh".

He got a completely blank small notebook from a file bag.

The paper is white and delicate, with nothing on it.

But when his fingers passed by, his keen intuition made him realize that there was something wrong with this document.

It has the fluctuating feeling of talisman paper, and it should be hidden by some kind of rune.

He said, "Jingxian, bring me a pen and paper for me."

Jing Xian reluctantly let go of him, and brought a pen and paper from the table.

Lu Yingjiu took it over and drew smooth and complex lines on the paper, gradually forming a dog-shaped beast.

He gently placed the paper on the blank paper, and after a few seconds, the lines on the talisman paper flowed and changed constantly, like dogs and beasts walking and sniffing for clues.

Chu Qianju's strength is so great that even with the technique of exorcising ghosts more than ten years ago, it is not so easy to solve it.

Lu Yingjiu waited patiently.

It took more than ten, twenty, ten minutes before a dog barked in the office.

The dog and beast on the talisman paper stayed in one direction, making a sniffing gesture.Lu Yingjiu put his left hand on that place, and made a formula with his right——

On the blank paper, something like water ripples passed by and disappeared without a trace.

But at least, he found the most vulnerable place.

Lu Yingjiu estimated that with the strength of this talisman paper, he might be able to untie it in half an hour.

He just wanted to continue trying, when his hand warmed up, Jing Xian gently covered the back of his left hand, and whispered: "Let me help you, I have seen this kind of rune before."

Lu Yingjiu didn't know how ghosts should cooperate with exorcists.

One side is bursting with Yin Qi, while the other is dedicated to removing Yin Qi, no matter how you think about it, they are in conflict.

But Jing Xian somehow restrained his sharpness and yin energy on purpose.Lu Yingjiu could only feel the warmth on the back of his hand, and the invisible force condensed in the air. When he squeezed again, the ripples on the paper immediately fluctuated violently, like a tsunami, and the waves surged up one after another.

"Fuck-"

Accompanied by this slight sound, another round of waves surged, and handwritten characters slowly emerged on the blank page.

【I have been in contact with the Zhang family many times and wanted to inquire about the sacrifice, but when I asked about it, everyone was at a loss.My memory is incomplete, I can only look through ancient books based on my impressions, but I can't find any clues]

Then on the next page, there was another line of words, which should have been written after a while.

[The Zhang family and the Chu family often worship the way of heaven. Headed by the Zhang family, the two families have held many ceremonies, among which sacrifices are often used in large-scale ceremonies. The list is attached below:]

[In Zenglin Mountain, Yuanhe City, in 1991, the Zhang family presided over a prostration to the Dao of Heaven, and presented 59 ordinary talisman papers and 59 gold-plated talisman papers. There were 118 livestock to be slaughtered, including 59 lambs and 59 piglets...]

[In Lintian Village in 1988, the Zhang family presided over a prostration to heaven, and presented 59 ordinary talisman papers, 59 strings of exorcism copper coins, 59 livestock to be slaughtered, and 59 sticks of incense]

[In Xianglian Town in 1985, the Zhang family and the Chu family presided over a kowtow to the Tao of Heaven and offered...]

Lu Yingjiu quickly scanned through the records.

Sure enough, as Chu Banyang said, the Zhang family believes that the number "59" represents the way of heaven, and their obsession with it is simply engraved in their bones, and everything should be exactly 59.

They firmly believe that once this number is exceeded or lowered, Heaven will wrath.

And it turns out they were right.

As for the 59 offerings, the Dao of Heaven accepted all of them, and blessed the two aristocratic families with a hundred years of well-being and prosperity.

In the early years, the Zhang family was rich and powerful, and when the economy was still in recession, the prostration ceremonies were held so frequently, each time on a large scale.Thinking of their downfall today and their neglect, it is embarrassing.

Lu Yingjiu looked at the lines of text, and then thought that after Zhang Nianyun took his photo, [1/59] was also written.

A very bad feeling came to my heart.

Jing Xian next to him was also silent, looking at the notes.

Chu Qianju has no memory, but knows that she is cursed by the heavens, so she pursues the Zhang family persistently.

Looking through the notes, it was densely packed with him trying to contact the Zhang family.

However, the Zhang family was very xenophobic, and it was difficult for outsiders to pry their mouths open. After the changes in the world, the family gradually declined. In the past ten years, even the worship ceremony was no longer held, and Chu Qianju couldn't find out why.

After nearly ten years like this, Chu Qianju tried to recall the past while investigating, and ran all over the country.He put the train tickets and bus tickets in his notes, and turned them over densely.

Finally, in 2009—the year he died, he went to a small museum in South China Sea, where he browsed through ancient books and found the most crucial clue.

Lu Yingjiu turned to the next page and saw Chu Qianju wrote:

[Every 200 years, there will be a particularly grand ceremony to enshrine the way of heaven.The ceremony is different from the usual prostration, and there is no room for any mistakes. Each time, the Zhang and Chu families go all out and spend decades to hold this ceremony]

【The Way of Heaven is dissatisfied with live animals as sacrifices. After the Zhang family and the Chu family made a plan, they made arrangements. First, they colluded with bandits and bandits, and robbed 32 babies from the people, and then bribed merchants and officials, and bought 27 more babies.】

[Two high-ranking families worked together, and it took nearly three years before and after, 59 babies were used as sacrifices and enshrined in heaven in 1500. Among them, the youngest child was under half a year old, and the oldest was under five years old]

[After the ceremony, the child either bleeds to death from seven orifices, or turns into a ghost with a blue face and fangs.The sound of the wind at the altar is like ghosts crying and wolves howling. For three whole years, people passing by here can hear children crying at night, known as the child crying hill]

The notes record the shocking and cruel facts.

Turn to the next page——

【However, no matter how cautious the two families were, the ceremony still went awry: Among the 59 babies, a child surnamed Lu survived and disappeared afterwards】

[The "59 tributes" were not satisfied, the ceremony was not completed, and the way of heaven was angry with Zhang and Chu, which led to bad luck for more than a hundred years, and almost caused the decline of the two families from now on]

[But everything that Heavenly Dao has not obtained must be repaid.The two families have been searching for the child's whereabouts for a long time, and they want to return him to Heaven]

【Returning him to the way of heaven is the end of everything】

Flipping back through the notes, there are still a few fragmented sentences.

[During 2000, the Zhang family divination, learned that the largest night of ghosts in the millennium will appear in the world]

[On the one hand, they are worried about the casualties of Baigui Yexing, and on the other hand, they are eager to revive the family. For them, there is no time]

【So, I want to find Lu Yingjiu as soon as possible...】

I finished reading the notes.

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a long time.

It was so long that the minute hand on the wall turned round and round. He grabbed the note in his hand, his back was straightened, and his fingertips were wrinkled.

Jing Xian wanted to take the note away, but he didn't want to, and still held on tightly.It wasn't until Jing Xian hugged him and stroked his hair soothingly that Lu Yingjiu's body slowly relaxed.

He whispered, "I'm that kid, right?"

Jing Xian gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a while, and then said: "Over the past few decades, there has been a saying in the ghost exorcism world that the balance between yin and yang is getting more and more chaotic."

"I have talked with many ghost exorcists, and I have come to the conclusion that the more and more frequent occurrences of evil spirits, and the increasingly similar night walks of ghosts all come from the instability of the avenue and the collapse of the law."

"We spent a long time discussing whether there is a way to stabilize yin and yang."

He glanced at the notes again, and said, "We have also discussed how to stop the one hundred ghosts' night parade predicted by the Zhang family in the past thousand years. But now I understand what the best way is..."

"If the Zhang family finds me and continues the unfinished ceremony of the year, although the surging avenue cannot be appeased forever, at least for tens or hundreds of years, the whole world will be much more peaceful. Moreover, the declining Zhang family can even get rid of bad luck ,restart."

"It turns out to be like this," he murmured, "It turns out to be like this. No wonder even the Chen family and the Ye family know about it. They have been looking for me and monitoring me, and they want to exchange me for the prosperity of the family and the peace of the world. .”

In exchange for a person who deserves to die, he will return to prosperity and peace, and everything will be safe and healthy.

With him alone, in exchange for everything.

It sounds like a bargain.

But is it really fair?

From 500 years ago to the present, from the baby who couldn't even speak and was used as a sacrifice to the exorcist Lu Yingjiu who is now plagued by bad luck, has anyone asked him for his opinion?Does anyone really care what he thinks?

Lu Yingjiu was in confusion.

A feeling of nausea and nausea surged up, with a sense of unreality, as if he had lived in a phantom for so many years.

Now the phantom is shattered mercilessly.

He felt that his fight against bad luck and fate was like a planned joke.

What kind of mentality did those people in the family watch him step by step become a top ghost exorcist?

Is it disgust, fear, or ridicule and irony?

In the chaos, the setting sun completely fell to the ground, and there was no more brilliance between the sky and the earth, and it fell into the eternal night.The shadows quickly engulfed the curtains, the tables, chairs and flowers on the wall, and the dense notes spread out in front of him.The evening wind blew in, chilling to the bone, dragging him into the black tide, choking his breath.

However, in this bone-piercing cold, Jing Xian still hugged him tightly.

He said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

"No matter who your enemies are, I will crush them all. The evil spirits will eat them, let their souls be tortured in the fire for hundreds of years, and goug out their eyes as playthings. Crush their bones for ornaments, let their blood drink for wine, and feast for ten years."

"I want to leave them in the wilderness, let the vultures devour their internal organs, and throw them into the abyss. In mid-air, their skin and flesh will be cut into pieces by the strong wind. Then I will make their skulls into lamps to illuminate the road to the underworld."

He touched Lu Yingjiu's soft black hair, his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

After bowing his head and kissing him lightly, he said with a smile, "I'm a ghost, I will do anything for you."

"So don't worry, nothing can separate us, neither time nor death."
