I open a bookstore in the human world

The place where the two met was in the house rented by Xie Dao Nian. After all, the matter to be discussed is relatively private, and it is not convenient to talk about it outside. After thinking about it, Song Lan thinks it is better to find a secret place to sit down and talk slowly. .

Xie Daonian's originally planned business trip would not come back until tomorrow, but after receiving a call from Song Lan, he set off immediately.Fortunately, the city where he was located was near Modu, and he returned to his apartment two hours later.

Song Lan sat on the sofa, full of emotions in his heart: when he left here the night before yesterday, he even thought that he would never come to this place again, but he came back after only one day.

There was a set of tea sets on the coffee table, only a small teacup was missing, looking at the vacancy, Song Lan's chest couldn't help but stagnate.

That teacup was the one he accidentally broke that night.

A complete set of tea sets loses its original value without such a cup.

Maybe the missing teacup can be made up, but what if there is a cracked relationship?Even if it is added again, can it still be the same as before?

Song Lan stared blankly at the vacancy, and there was a flash of someone in front of her eyes, it was Xie Daonian who had returned.

Xie Daonian's appearance looked dusty, he was not breathing well, obviously he came back in a hurry.

Song Lan couldn't help but said: "You don't need to be so anxious, I can wait a little longer, but what should I do if something happens on the way?"

Xie Daonian's eyes lit up, he stared at Song Lan's eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly bent: "Can I understand that you are caring about me?"

"Ahem," Song Lan choked on the saliva, and gave Xie Daonian a hard look, "I'm worried, if you accidentally die, wouldn't my mission fail?"

Xie Daonian still looked at Song Lan with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to take care of myself until your mission is successfully completed."

"Speaking of which," Song Lan's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, "I heard from Xiao'e that you've been working very hard recently, do you still need your health? Let me tell you, how can you bear it in the long run?"

Xie Daonian smiled, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, quietly listening to Song Lan's accusation, without speaking.

Song Lan suddenly realized something was wrong: Wait, it seems that he didn't ask Xie Daonian to meet to talk about this matter, did he?

His face turned red, and he reached for the water glass on the table, trying to hide his embarrassment by drinking water.

Xie Daonian was one step ahead of him, picked up the water glass and walked towards the kitchen, saying as he walked, "The water is cold, wait a minute, I'll go get you another glass."

"Hey..." It was too late for Song Lan to stop, Xie Daonian took the water glass to the kitchen, poured out the cold water, and poured another glass of lukewarm water at just the right temperature.

"...Thank you." Song Lan took the water glass, and inadvertently rubbed Xie Daonian's fingertips with his fingers, feeling that it was burning, and his heart trembled.

Xie Daonian sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite Song Lan, with his long legs stacked, his hands casually placed on his lap, paired with his dark gray formal suit, his gestures showed a bit of elegance inadvertently.

A natural model, Song Lan thought to herself.

"You probably know the reason why I came here today." Putting down the water glass, Song Lan's face became serious, "I want to tell you about the night before yesterday...cough cough, your confession."

Xie Daonian nodded and looked at Song Lan with good eyes.

Song Lan was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, she turned her head away, not looking at Xie Daonian, but only at a well-bloomed orchid next to her. "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I still need to tell you one thing clearly. If people and ghosts fall in love, it will not end well."

Xie Daonian did not speak.

"Humans and ghosts have different paths. I don't think you don't know this." Song Lan said awkwardly, "Everything is born with its own laws. Even gods can't violate this law. This is what mortals say. The 'Way of Heaven'."

"But if I die, won't I be able to become a ghost?" Xie Daonian said calmly.

Song Lan was startled, knowing what Xie Daonian was thinking, and hurriedly said: "I tell you, don't think about messy things, things are not as simple as you think!"

Xie Daonian frowned slightly, expressing his incomprehension.

Song Lan explained: "Not everyone will become a ghost after death, most people will go to reincarnation, unless there are some people who have strong obsessions during life, their souls will not be peaceful after death, and even Meng Po soup can't erase it. His memory will stay in the underworld and become a ghost. So don’t think that becoming a ghost is an easy and comfortable thing. Because of being disturbed by obsessions in life, most ghosts actually live unhappy lives. , unless the obsession is satisfied, ghost births in the future will have to carry the obsession to live. Even if you are tired, you will not be able to reincarnate."

Xie Daonian was thoughtful: "So your obsession is starting a business?"

"Forget it," Song Lan didn't want to talk about it, "Anyway, you have to know that being a ghost has more troubles than being a human. This is not just for fun."

Xie Daonian lowered his head slightly, he couldn't see the light in his eyes clearly, and he didn't know how much he had listened to.

"If I'm with you, it will definitely have an irreversible impact on your body. Yin Qi entering the body is not a joke. If the impact is deep, it will not only damage your health in the eyes, but even reduce your health. Yangshou." Song Lan said seriously.

After taking a breath, Song Lan sighed softly: "I don't want you to die early."

Xie Dao's long eyelashes trembled, his drooping eyelids suddenly lifted, and he fixedly looked at Song Lan.

Song Lan looked away unnaturally, and said: "In short, people and ghosts will not end well together. I hope you can remember this."

After a long time, Xie Daonian said, "Then how do you feel about me?"

"Huh?" Song Lan couldn't understand this nonsensical sentence.

Xie Daonian stared into Song Lan's eyes, and said word by word: "What you just said is the danger of love between humans and ghosts, but I want to know, how do you feel about me?"

"Aside from all other external factors, can you tell me sincerely, do you like me too, even just a little bit?"

Song Lan was very uncomfortable being looked at by Xie Daonian's scorching eyes, his eyes wandered randomly, and he dared not look at him. "Ask, why do you ask this?" Song Lan sneered.

"This issue is very important to me, please tell me." Xie Daonian's tone was serious, mixed with a little heaviness.

After a long while, Song Lan sighed softly, and said: "Well, anyway, we have already talked about this, so let's talk about it completely. Xie Daonian, I admit that, for you, I do have a good impression of you, but It’s a little bit of a loss, but we—”

"That's enough." Xie Daonian's brows warmed up, and he interrupted Song Lan with a smile on his brow, "So, you like me too, right?"

"Uh..." Song Lan was stunned.

Wait, is that the point?

Xie Daonian looked into Song Lan's eyes steadily, and there was a dark tide surging in his eyes.In an instant, he said, "In other words, we are in love now, right?"

"No, you confuse me." Song Lan explained with a complicated expression and exasperated, "The point now is not that you like me, let alone that I like you, but that it is wrong for people to be in love with ghosts. Do you understand what I mean? ?As I said just now, people and ghosts have always loved each other, and nine times out of ten it will not end well. The best result is that people die and become ghosts, and the two live together in the underworld. I don't know...Hey, hey, what are you doing so close? Hey, don't come here...Woo!"

At this moment, Song Lan only felt a warmth on his lips, and his mind went blank.

He he he... what is he doing!Song Lan's eyes widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was so shocked that he couldn't describe it in words.

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, King of Hades in the ten halls, he, Song Lan, a high-level ghost envoy of the underworld, kissed someone for the first time in his life, but was actually forced to kiss by a man!

There are so many slots, I just don't know where to start.

"Are you crazy?!" Three seconds later, Song Lan pushed Xie Daonian away forcefully, jumped a few meters away, leaned his back against the wall, looked at Xie Daonian nervously, and couldn't help but touch his lips with his hands.

It seemed that the warm touch was still imprinted on his lips and never disappeared.

Nonsence!What are you thinking?Song Lan tried hard to get the absurd scene out of his mind just now, and glared at Xie Daonian angrily: "You, how can you, can... Then what about me?" Forgive him for not being able to practice well, I really can't tell which one" Kiss" word.

"I'm sorry." Xie Daonian lowered his head slightly, apologizing sincerely.After hearing the news just now, he was so happy that he lost his mind for a moment and did such an impulsive thing.

"You..." Song Lan's chest rose and fell, "You really..."

Xie Daonian's eyes were clouded with mist, which made people feel soft-hearted, unable to say a single serious word.

Alas, who calls others good?Song Lan thought sullenly.

"Song Lan, I..." Xie Daonian took a step forward, wanting to say something, but Song Lan stopped him——

"Stop, stop, stop, don't come over, just stand there, don't move!" A panic flashed across Song Lan's face, and the scene of the four eyes meeting just now appeared in his mind, and his face couldn't help but get hot.

Sure enough, Xie Daonian stopped walking forward and looked over pitifully, like a big dog ordered by the owner not to go out to play at home.

"God, don't look at me with that look." Song Lan covered her face and muttered in a low voice, "You're cute again..."

Seeing that Xie Daonian bowed his head and said nothing, Song Lan couldn't help but soften his heart. In other words, he hadn't really been hard-hearted when facing Xie Daonian.He cleared his throat, and said to Xie Daonian earnestly: "You are a smart man, and you must have listened to what I said just now. All in all, what we did was wrong and against the way of heaven. When it reaches the point of no return, it is better to get out early and stop the loss in time, lest it will be too late to regret."

Xie Daonian raised his eyes, stared at Song Lan's face, and shook his head lightly: "I won't regret it."

"Nonsense, where in this world is there anything more important than life? Wait until the last moment before you die, and you will know, love, career, money, nothing is more important than being able to live healthy and healthy." For Song Lan, who has already died once, has a personal experience of this point.

Xie Daonian shook his head seriously, and repeated: "I don't regret it."

"Why are you so stubborn!" Song Lan was anxious, feeling that the other party was really unreasonable.

Obviously such a smart person is also very measured in doing things, but he doesn't know how to adapt or compromise in this kind of thing, and he refuses to listen to what he says, which is really annoying.

"Even if I really die because of it at that time, I don't regret the choice I made today." Xie Daonian looked firm, "But if I don't do this, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"But have you ever thought about what should I do if you really died and reincarnated?" Song Lan's voice trembled.

Theoretically speaking, the lifespan of ghosts is infinite, even if they want to commit suicide, it is impossible.But people are different. People can be reincarnated after death. Whether they become pigs, dogs or humans in the next life, their souls are immortal.After reincarnation, it means forgetting all the past, no matter what epic love happened in the previous life, once you cross the bridge of Naihe and drink Mengpo soup, everything will start from scratch.

Song Lan was right, even if he agreed to be with Xie Daonian now, what about after Xie Daonian died?He went to reincarnate and forgot all the things between them, so how would he deal with himself?Want him to carry the memories of the two of them forever in pain?

Therefore, Song Lan would rather choose not to start than to end in pain.

Xie Daonian was taken aback for a long time before he said, "Sorry, I was too selfish."

The atmosphere became a little dull.

"You don't know the inside story, so I don't blame you." Song Lan slowly closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see Xie Daonian's expression, and he didn't want the other party to see the reluctance in his eyes, "So you should calm down and think about it carefully .This matter will do more harm than good to you and me, you know, I am a businessman, and I never do business at a loss. "

After finishing speaking, Song Lan raised his legs to leave, but stopped because of Xie Daonian's words: "Then what if I also become a ghost after I die? We are all ghosts, so isn't everything we worry about now solved?"

Taking a deep breath, Song Lan showed a bitter smile: "The chance of success is too low, and it's too risky."

He is a steady person, he will not do a certain thing if he is not sure of success, let alone such a thing, if one is not careful, then Xie Daonian will fall into a place of eternal doom, not to mention being a ghost, just Even if you want to reincarnate, it may be difficult.

"What do you mean?" Xie Daonian asked puzzled.

"Didn't I just say that love between humans and ghosts has never had a happy ending? Do you think those couples in the past never thought of this method? But nine out of ten couples who implemented this method failed." Song Lan sighed Shaking his head angrily, "There are two ways for a person to become a ghost. One is to have an obsession before death, and this obsession must be so strong that one cannot be reincarnated. This is the most primitive method, and it is also the hardest artificial method. The method of imitation, because it is a very complicated process, if there is a deviation anywhere, it cannot become a ghost."

Xie Daonian was thoughtful: "What about another method?" Obviously, those lovers would not choose this method.

"Another method is artificial means, but although this method can be achieved artificially, the success rate is very low." Song Lan seemed reluctant to say this method.

"What is it?" Xie Daonian asked.

Song Lan frowned slightly: "This method is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be out of your wits. You have to think about it, do you really want to listen?"

Xie Daonian nodded firmly.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Song Lan sighed softly, "There is another way for a person to become a ghost, and that is to have a ghost to assist him, and continuously give him the pure yin energy, gradually Change their physique, and after ninety-nine and eighty-one days, when this person's body is completely occupied by Yin Qi, he may turn into a ghost."

Xie Daonian's eyes lit up: "Then we—"

"Listen to me first," Song Lan interrupted him with a solemn face: "It sounds simple, but this method is extremely dangerous. Ordinary people, especially males who belong to Yang, are incompatible with pure Yin Qi. When the qi enters the body, it will be very painful, that kind of pain, it is said that the heart-piercing pain penetrates into the bone marrow, which is not something ordinary people can bear. Therefore, all the successful cases in history are all women who belong to Yin, and no men."

"I'm not afraid." Xie Daonian said eagerly.

"If it's just pain, patience will pass," Song Lan obviously guessed what Xie Daonian would say, and shook his head with a wry smile, "In addition to enduring the boundless pain, this person's health will also be greatly damaged. A bad person may die before that. And because his soul has been invaded by Yin Qi, he cannot be reincarnated, as long as he is illuminated by the sun, his soul will fly away immediately."

"This..." Xie Daonian was stunned.

"So you know why I said this method is very dangerous?" Song Lan forced a smile, "After all, a mortal is a body of flesh and blood, no matter how determined his will is, his body can hardly withstand that kind of torture."

"My physique is not bad." Xie Daonian hastily added.It's strange to say that Xie Daonian's health was not very good when he was a child, he often lingered on the sick bed, and took medicine as frequently as eating.But after growing up, it seems that his immunity has improved a lot. Not to mention serious illnesses, he hardly even has minor colds. He can't remember the last time he got sick was a few years ago.

"But I can't let you take this risk." Song Lan shook her head, "Taking a step back, even if you are in good health, but you are a man with a positive physique, which naturally conflicts with Yin Qi, so it is harder to succeed than a woman."

Xie Daonian wanted to say something, but Song Lan took the first step: "Anyway, no matter what you say, I will not agree. Xie Daonian, let me tell you, unless you find other ghosts to help you, I will never help you implement it." This way!"

"Any other ghosts..." Xie Daonian muttered to himself.

"Hey, I said you only listened to this sentence after listening for a long time?" Song Lan was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes, and immediately declared, "You just give up, don't think I don't know that you want to ask Tang Chi and the others for help. You just Give up, none of them will help you!"

Song Lan was about to die of anger at Xie Daonian. He thought that he could dispel this unrealistic idea by saying such a lot of words.The result was good, but it deepened his faith.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

No, you have to inform those ghosts immediately, and you must not help their Brother Xie do such a thing.

Song Lan still wanted to teach Xie Daonian a few words, but the phone rang suddenly.It was Zhang Fan who called, and he wouldn't call if there was nothing urgent.

There was no other way, Song Lan had no choice but to pick up the phone first, and asked directly, "Zhang Fan, what's the matter?"

Zhang Fan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a bit helpless: "Boss Song, it's Miss Gan's business."

"Gantian?" Song Lan's head grew dizzy when she heard this name, and her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, "Didn't you tell her to comfort her and let her do whatever she wanted?"

Song Lan's strategy against Gan Tian is: everything goes according to the eldest lady's wishes, but she just doesn't show up.He felt that as long as it goes on like this, Gan Tian will feel bored after a long time, and let it go.

This is also one of the reasons why no one dared to drive Gan Tian out of the Shadow Bookstore.

Song Lan didn't quite understand, he was already like this, what kind of moth could Gan Tian make?

Zhang Fan sighed lightly: "Boss, Miss Gan said that she wants to work in the bookstore."

"What?!" For a moment Song Lan thought he had heard wrong.
