not scary story

Back at Fang's house, Fang Tianqing was about to go out to do errands, Yan Jiu greeted him and wanted to go back to the room, but was stopped: "You come with me."

The assistant beside him reminded: "Master Qing, he hasn't attended class yet."

Fang Tianqing gave him a squinting look: "I don't know what the Fang family's process is? How can the other apprentices be as old as him? They are all 19 years old, so don't hurry up. Are we going to teach them step by step until they are 30?"

"..." It was the first time for someone to say that she was old, but thinking of those seven or eight-year-old children she saw in the yard, Yan Jiu felt that she was really old and hopelessly old.

Being taken into another black off-road vehicle that was obviously much more luxurious, Yan Jiu was a little nervous: "Where are we going?"

As soon as she got in the car, Fang Tianqing closed her eyes and meditated. Fang Tianqing didn't speak, and the assistant sitting in the passenger seat replied formulaically: "To complete a minister's commission. His mother just passed away, and he needs to do a religious ceremony."

Yan Jiu didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of disturbing Fang Tianqing's rest.

The car quickly arrived at a quaint auditorium, where a mourning service was being held. Hundreds of wreaths filled the outside of the auditorium, and people dressed in black also crowded all the open space. If you didn't know the inside story, you would think that What a great person died.

When Fang Tianqing's car appeared outside the door, the secretary in charge of welcoming the guests recognized them immediately, and said respectfully to the driver: "Mr. Fang just go in the other way, and the minister is waiting inside." Yan Jiu couldn't help but have such a good attitude. He looked at Fang Tianqing a few more times.

When they entered the lounge of the auditorium, the minister with a tired face stood up to greet them: "It's sunny, you're finally here."

"Minister Chen," Fang Tianqing, who was expressionless all the way, finally showed a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing, "Can the venue be cleared after six o'clock?"

Minister Chen nodded: "Yes, yes, do you need our help to prepare anything?"

"You are already a regular customer, do you still need to ask?" Fang Tianqing asked back with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you are too tired. Go and have a rest first. You have to stay up with us from nine o'clock in the evening."

"No, no, I have to go to the front hall to greet the guests." Minister Chen waved his hand and arranged a few small attendants to help him before leaving.

After everyone else walked away, Yan Jiu couldn't help asking: "Why is he an old customer? Does he always run into ghosts?"

"At this level, how many nights do you think you can sleep with peace of mind?" Fang Tianqing's smile became slightly sarcastic, "But of course I should help this kind of person. It's much easier for Qiao Xia and his group of policemen."

"You recognize Qiao Xia?" Yan Jiu became excited.

"The Special Investigation Department can't control us, but it is a state machine after all, so we have to give them some face." Fang Tianqing said, throwing a talisman to Yan Jiu, "You, go with my assistant to learn how to put talismans There are painting arrays, if you don’t understand, ask him, I’ll go to sleep.”

"Okay, okay." Yan Jiu took it obediently, and carefully weighed the stack of charms drawn by a famous celestial master in his hand after he left.Oh, it really is an excellent celestial master, the quality of the pen and the paper, Taobao five yuan a piece is simply incomparable!No wonder Qiao Yuan recognized him at a glance.

There was still half an hour before the end of condolences, the assistant took Yan Jiu to the front hall to prepare, but as soon as he came out, he saw Qiao Yuan following behind Qiao Xia, also entering the auditorium in black.

"Brother!" Yan Jiu immediately opened his eyes, and ran towards Qiao Yuan who had just delivered flowers.

Qiao Yuan, who was about to leave immediately, was grabbed by his sleeve from behind, turned his head impatiently, and saw a pair of big watery eyes: "Brother, why are you here?"

Qiao Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I wonder why you came here. I am the representative of Qiao's family. This kind of minister has to come here to show his intentions, no matter whether he is a dead father or a dead mother or the whole family. What about you? What's the matter with you?"

"...Hush, keep your voice down, your words offend people!" Yan Jiu looked around quickly, afraid of being heard by others.

Seeing him like a frightened hamster, Qiao Yuan saw Fang Tianqing's assistant not far away, sneered and said, "This kind of corrupt official, the whole family eats other people's hard-earned money, and don't even think about spending any money after death." It's a pity that there were thigh-hugging guys like the Fang family to help, and the retribution could drag on for a few years before falling on them."

Yan Jiu was so frightened by the huge amount of information in his words that his hairs stood on end, and he quickly made a quiet gesture: "Shhhhhhhh, don't say any more, here are their people, if you are heard, how much do you care?" Trouble."

Qiao Yuan smiled indifferently, and Yan Jiu quickly changed the subject: "Brother, do you want to stay and take a look?"

"Don't stay," Qiao Yuan interrupted his idea of ​​trying to find himself as a backer, "Since you have decided to learn, overcome all your own fears."

Yan Jiu's face fell down: "I have overcome it for more than ten years, and I can overcome it a long time ago..."

After greeting other officials in the distance, Qiao Xia came over and found Yan Jiu beside him: "Why are you here?"

"He has entered the Fang family now." Qiao Yuan explained his current situation in a few words, and Qiao Xia couldn't hide his surprise: "Are you a descendant of the Fang family?"

"My grandmother's surname is Fang." For Officer Qiao, he always answered every question.

"No wonder..." Qiao Xia was thoughtful, and in this way, Yan Jiu's 2.0 yin and yang eyes could be explained.

Just... the guide of the Fang family?

Hehe, Fang Tianqing might have a lot of headaches for a guide who is no more courageous than a hamster.

At six o'clock, the auditorium began to be cleared. Although Yan Jiu wanted to keep Qiao Yuan, the other party had no interest in this kind of ritual ritual, not to mention he wished that the whole family of these corrupt officials would go to hell. The Fang family's misalignment is definitely not that easy to resolve.

In the end, there were only four or five people left at the scene, and the auditorium was so empty that it was scary.

After the winter, the sky darkened very quickly. At 06:30, it was already pitch black outside. At this moment, only the white fluorescent lights were lit in the auditorium. Center voila.

"You are the guide." The assistant reminded unhappily.As someone who has always been by Fang Tianqing's side, he has no affection for this cowardly young man who is the complete opposite of Fang Tianqing.Even though he may be the only guide of the Fang family's generation, his performance is not worthy of Shang Tianqing.

Yan Jiu pursed his lips, he felt the assistant's prejudice against him very early on, but he would rather be looked down upon than be scared to death.

It was already 08:30 in the evening when the charm was posted.At this time, Fang Tianqing and the minister appeared in the auditorium at the same time, and they muttered for a while, Yan Jiu, who was standing beside him, vaguely heard the words "wealth and honor" and "good deeds", and then thought of what Qiao Yuan said, and lowered his eyes.

The entire ceremony lasted for three hours, during which Yan Jiu never once set his eyes on the center of the auditorium.He knew he could see it, but he just didn't want to.

Once again he doubted whether he could be a guide.He obviously hates to take the initiative to contact those things, but this identity makes him have to face all fears.

In the end, the minister sent them to the intersection gratefully. When they got into the car, Fang Tianqing, who was looking sideways out of the car window, suddenly said, "If you don't want to continue, you can leave tomorrow."

"..." Yan Jiu blushed.He thought he had disguised himself well, but he was still seen through.

"I know you hate that person, but this is my mission. Without these people, the Fang family could not have lasted for so many years, even if we all know what these guys have done. But the truth is, we only have mana , have no right." Fang Tianqing said.

Yan Jiu lowered her head, scratched her knees, and answered after a while: "I...let's try again."

He thought of Qiao Yuan's lecture, but he finally stopped his timidity at the last step.

Everyone has things they can't do anything about, but they can't refuse all the possibilities of progress because of disgust.
