Your ghost-catching pose is perfect

Jiang Xunli picked up his mobile phone and anxiously searched for the latest news about "extreme joy begets sorrow".

Soon, several eye-catching headlines appeared on the screen.

"Extreme joy begets sorrow! My son was admitted to a famous university, and my father had a heart attack. The father was too happy and died of the disease."

"Drinking wildly at the celebration banquet, the founder of a certain company died of alcohol poisoning - how many more tragedies will our wine table culture create?"

"What is causing the tragedy? The demolition of the home will bring huge sums of money, but the old man in his eighties died of a heart attack caused by the good news."

"Wife gave birth to twins, and husband speeded to celebrate going home, causing tragedy!"

Jiang Xunli looked at the date displayed on the phone. These incidents all happened between July and August. Although the frequency is not high compared with those cases caused by ghosts, they should have been so concentrated. Enough to arouse his vigilance.

However, he has not paid attention to this side, which is his mistake.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xunli immediately sent a message to Zhang Chuan, asking him to pay attention to the follow-up of these incidents and check whether the bodies of the deceased are still there.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Chuan called back quickly.

"Why do you suddenly want to check these things? What did you find?" Zhang Chuan asked very keenly.

Jiang Xunli said: "I did find something, I'm leaving the hospital now to make sure something, and I'll go to the detachment to explain to you in detail in the afternoon."

"Okay. It just so happens that our investigation has made some progress. You came this afternoon and we have a meeting."

After Zhang Chuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Peng asked, "Are you leaving the hospital?"

"Well, in fact, there is nothing wrong with my body. I just need to rest. It is better to rest at home."

As Jiang Xunli said, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Except that his feet were still a little soft, there was no hindrance to his movements.Jiang Peng stepped forward to help him, and helped him change the clothes he brought from home, and the two went to go through the discharge procedures together.

After getting into the car, Jiang Xunli remembered one thing.

He checked the car glass and found no signs of damage, so he looked at Jiang Peng suspiciously and asked, "Speaking of which, how did you get out of the car last night? Did you climb into the trunk?"

Jiang Peng glanced at Jiang Xunli, stopped at the red light at the intersection, and pressed a button on the control panel near the shift handle.

The roof of the car slowly opened and folded back amidst a slight hum of electronic machinery.A few seconds later, the tight-fitting car turned into a very cool red convertible, which attracted a group of people on the bus next to it to look here in amazement.

Jiang Xunli: ...

Why did he forget that Jiang Peng's car is an imported model, and Volvo's rare convertible model!He only sealed the door at that time, what's the point? !

Jiang Xunli held his forehead speechlessly, and after a while, he asked again: "The wound on your wrist is to break the talisman on that mahogany sword?"

"En." Jiang Peng nodded.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Xunli said, "In the end it's still my fault. If I can drive myself, I don't need to trouble you to drive me..."

"Xiao Li," Jiang Peng said, "don't be mad at me."

Jiang Xunli pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Jiang Peng thought for a while, and then said: "Even if you learn to drive, it's not so easy to get a license plate in Yan City now. If you drive a license plate from other places, you can't enter the Fifth Ring Road during the peak period, and you can't get it if you apply for a license once a week. Can't go on the road. I might as well see you off."

Jiang Xunli was speechless: "According to this, your car is still limited one day a week!"

Jiang Peng didn't speak anymore.

The two had an inexplicable exchange, but they had forgotten all about it when they got home.Jiang Xunli went back to the room to look through the formation book that he brought back from Maoca. Jiang Peng went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, looked at the stock inside, and began to think about what to make for Jiang Xunli for lunch.

Jiang Xunli opened the book, followed the location in memory, and finally found the formation that he judged to be "secondary two nonsense".

"Seven Emotions Returning to the World Formation—Using the Seven Emotions as a guide, suppressing ghosts, leading lives into corpses, nourishing souls with corpses, and finally making the souls harmonious, and being able to... seize the body and be reborn!"

After he finished reading the first sentence, he couldn't help cursing: "Damn, take the house and be reborn?!"

After cursing, read the instructions below carefully.

It turns out that it is not easy to complete the return of the seven emotions.

First of all, the ghosts used in the formation must be made of the seven emotions—that is, they must die from one of the seven emotions and be artificially made into ghosts.

Then, these ghosts must also create murders with the same emotions, and introduce the emotions and souls extracted from those murders into the corpses left when manufacturing ghosts-so these ghosts cannot obtain energy from the murders, they are just pawns. Those who are used to collect emotions and souls cannot strengthen themselves.

Finally, those who set up the formation need to use the corpses of these ghosts to activate the formation on the night of the full moon, in order to complete the "return to the world".

If any link is missing, the formation cannot succeed.

Jiang Xun closed the book, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

Isn't there one day in the coming early September on the night of the full moon?

In the seventh month and a half of the lunar calendar, all ghosts travel at night.

No wonder he felt that the person who had been hiding his head and showing his tail had become a little impatient in the past few days - only ten days until July and a half this year!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xunli immediately took out his mobile phone and called home.

"Uncle Wang! Let my grandfather answer the phone, there is something urgent!" Jiang Xunli shouted hastily just after the phone was answered.

There was silence for a second, and then, Mr. Jiang's roar sounded: "Stinky boy! Just say something!"

"Uh, ah...Grandpa." Jiang Xunli immediately hesitated: "Well, I found that the problem here in Yanshi is quite difficult... Hehehehe... Can you send me some people?"

Mr. Jiang snorted coldly: "Why, isn't it enough for Xiaofu and the Zhang family to help you?"

Jiang Xunli paused, and said: "Grandpa, have you heard of the 'Seven Emotions Returning to the World Formation'?"

"What array?"

"Seven emotions return to the world formation." Jiang Xun said away.

Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "What messed up cartoons are you watching again?! Since I was a child, I like to mess around. I just use plasticine to make talismans and break off other people's tree branches to set up formations. Where did this come out? What an unrealistic idea? Huh? Let me tell you, even if you are a genius, if you continue to degenerate like this..."

Jiang Xunli got a headache from being babbled, but he couldn't just interrupt, otherwise he would just be chanted more and more.

At this moment, Jiang Peng knocked on the door, came in and asked, "Xiao Li, can I have some lunch for you?"

On the phone, Mr. Jiang suddenly got stuck.

Jiang Xunli: ...

"Uh... OK."

"Bone Broth Vegetable Noodles, okay?"

"……casual."

"it is good."

After Jiang Peng finished speaking, he left the room and helped Jiang Xunli close the door.

Jiang Xunli held up the receiver, and there was a strange silence on the phone.

"……grandfather?"

"Your grandfather has been pissed off!"

Mr. Jiang's roar came out through the mobile phone, almost shaking half of Yan City: "Who is that man? How dare you live with a man—?! Where's Xiaofu?"

Jiang Xunli could only bite the bullet and said: "Fu, Fu Jinxia, ​​she was abducted by a policeman, uh... by Zhang Chuan..."

Mr. Jiang: "..."

"Look at how promising you are! I knew Xiaofu was so good, so he definitely didn't like you! Hmph!" Mr. Jiang said in a calmer tone, "Is it because you are short of money that you ran to meet with me?" Are you living with someone else? Are you stupid? You don’t care about your brother or sister if you don’t have money? Do you have to carry it by yourself?”

Jiang Xunli keenly noticed Grandpa's softened tone, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, his eyes felt hot for no reason.

"grandfather……"

"Hmph! I'll move out tomorrow, do you hear that?" Mr. Jiang said indifferently on the phone, "By the way, what kind of formation did you just mention? I'll go and look up the ancient books."

Jiang Xunli calmed down his emotions, cleared his throat, and said, "Seven emotions return to the world. I will take a few photos and send them to you."

"Okay, I see." Mr. Jiang pretended to be impatient.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xunli lay down on the bed, thinking about what his grandfather said just now.

Grandpa seems to have begun to accept his sexuality. I don't know if someone in the family persuaded him, or Grandpa figured it out by himself.

Jiang Xunli knew that his father eloped with a man back then, and his mother remarried in anger, and she never cared about him because of her anger. This incident caused a big blow to grandpa.Before, he quarreled with his grandfather because of the big trouble with Wang Ze, and stabbed the old man in the heart again.Thinking about it now, it really shouldn't be.

Fortunately, fortunately, nothing irreversible happened.

Grandpa seems to be gradually accepting this fact, which is much, much better than the endings he had ever imagined.

The mobile phone suddenly rang a text message notification tone, Jiang Xunli picked it up and took a look, and saw that 2 yuan had been credited to his bank card.

This was followed by a message from my cousin: "Grandpa asked me to transfer some money to you. You are stationed in Yan City alone. Don't feel too wronged yourself if you have food and shelter. You can also choose the magic weapon and buy it. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it." , safety first, you know?"

Jiang Xunli's bank card was opened after he came to Yanshi, and the card number has never been disclosed to his family.But obviously, Grandpa has been paying attention to him, and he has known about it for a long time.

After a while, the second message from my cousin came in again.

"Also, if you're really lonely, talk to a boyfriend. I've persuaded my grandfather, give him more time, he can accept it. But you can't find someone who is as virtuous as the last one, you have to find one Find someone who is good to you! If you let me know that you are being bullied like this outside, I will ask Grandpa to arrest you and lock you up!"

Looking at the news from his cousin, and thinking of his grandfather's inquiry on the phone just now, Jiang Xunli took a deep breath and got up from the bed.

When he came to the kitchen, he saw Jiang Peng was busy cooking big bone soup, so he walked over and hugged him from behind.

Jiang Peng paused: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xunli shook his head, rubbed the moisture in his eyes on Jiang Peng's clothes, and sniffed.

"...Are you crying?" Jiang Peng was a little panicked, put down the lid of the casserole, turned around and hugged Jiang Xunli, "Why are you crying suddenly? The wound hurts?"

Jiang Xunli hugged Jiang Peng tightly, his voice choked up: "It's good to have relatives who care... Really."

Jiang Peng was puzzled, but still put his arms around Jiang Xunli and patted him on the back lightly.
