Nine thousand years old

Linlang jade bloomed outside the temple, carved into the shapes of various vines, and a wisp of faint blue smoke rose from the incense burner in front, as if it was about to go out.

And under the incense burner, fruits, grains and cooked meat are neatly placed.

There was a sticky coldness in the air, Li Siyuan felt short of breath, Ming Li covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and the stickiness disappeared suddenly.

Li Siyuan looked towards the temple, but saw that it was empty.

"Is this an offering?" He stepped forward and asked puzzledly, "But why is there nothing inside?"

Ming Li looked down at the small temple: "Family Immortal."

"Jiaxian...what is it?" Li Siyuan asked with his head tilted.

No one in the Li family had any contact with these things, except for the second aunt who invited a Buddha statue at home, there were no other offerings, and Li Siyuan had no way of knowing what to do.

"Family immortals are spirits that many people enshrined in ancient times. There are usually five types, foxes, weasels, snakes, hedgehogs and mice."

The palm of his hand could clearly feel the person's breathing, Ming Li suddenly felt his left hand was hot, and when the surrounding air returned to normal, he immediately released his hand.

Li Siyuan knows the first three, after all, most of the ghost novels have mentioned it, but the latter two are not very familiar: "Is the mouse also a house fairy?"

Mingli nodded: "Well, if spirits are enshrined by others, they will be recognized as cultivating immortals. Correspondingly, they will protect and enshrine their families."

Li Siyuan turned his head to the temple: "Then which one is this?"

Ming Li stared intently for a while before saying, "I don't know, I ran away."

In fact, Mingli can't be blamed for this, this kind of lowly family immortal is too inconspicuous in the eyes of the Dragon Clan.

Just like an insect that flashes past a person, you only know that a small insect has flown by, but you cannot immediately tell which insect it is.

Li Siyuan frowned: "Family immortals protect human beings, so why is there something wrong with the Cheng family?"

Ming Li pulled him to go out: "Go back first."

In the silence of the night, the two of them returned to Cheng Li's villa the same way. Ming Li was about to take him to the balcony, but saw the man climb up nimbly after a few twitches.

It is clear that Lord Yan Jun can only climb the wall to the height that can be reached with a light jump.

After tossing around a lot, Li Siyuan quickly changed his clothes, jumped onto the soft bed and rolled around, wrapping himself up like a silkworm baby, with only his head exposed.

"So what the hell is going on here?"

Ming Li lay down on the bed, staring at the few quilts he had left, struggling to snatch back the part that belonged to him.

Li Siyuan was just fussing for a while, when he touched his cold fingers, he immediately covered most of the quilt on Mingli's body.

After completing a series of actions, Li Siyuan became a little distracted again.

The two slept together before, but they were both covered by two quilts. They were suddenly so close, and they always felt a secret tension.

"Two possibilities."

Mingli, however, enjoyed this feeling of closeness, and only when his body sank to the level of Li Siyuan did he speak slowly: "One is that the Cheng family is being targeted by something more powerful than the Immortal."

The distance between the two was very close, and Li Siyuan's cheeks became hot: "What about the second type?"

Ming Li's voice came out softly: "The second type is the things offered by his family, and they want to become demons."

Li Siyuan was a little stunned: "Enchanted?"

"If spirits want to enter the Tao, they have to become immortals, or become great demons. They either ascend to the immortal world or return to the demon world." Ming Li said: "A family immortal asks for offerings and incense, that is, he enters the immortal world."

Li Siyuan guessed: "If you become a demon, you will go to the demon world?"

Ming Li smiled: "There is no demon world, it was invented by humans."

"The devil has no boundaries, but it has a way. All things have a way, and the ultimate is heaven. And the devil is a kind of lower than the ghost way."

Li Siyuan digested it before continuing to ask.

"Then what do you think, is the family immortal or something else that hurt people?"

Mingli thought for a while: "It's likely to be a family fairy. If it's something more powerful, now the Cheng family won't be the only one who died."

Still an outsider.

This move is more like a demonstration, or a threat.

Li Siyuan suddenly thought of Mr. Cheng's rule that the whole family must live together...

At this moment, Mingli turned off the light, and darkness enveloped the room, Li Siyuan's train of thought was suddenly interrupted.

He could feel the breathing of the people around him, and the restless thoughts in his mind were instantly washed away.

He slowly closed his eyes, feeling drowsy.

Ming Li was also drowsy, he turned his head to look at the sleeping person, casually pulled him into his arms, and hugged him hard.

Just one moment, let go immediately.

Lord Yan Jun thought in a daze, but probably the snow outside was too cold, and the person in his arms was too warm, until he fell asleep completely, he did not let go of the person in his arms.

I don't know when, the snow outside fell silently again, the world wrapped in silver, but every small house was warm.

When Li Siyuan opened his eyes, he was sleeping in Mingli's place, and Mingli was squeezed to the side, looking a little pitiful.

And the poor Master Yan Jun was leaning against the bedside and playing with his mobile phone.

Seeing him wake up, Ming Li rubbed his head with one hand: "Morning."

Li Siyuan was still dazed, squinting his eyes and said, "Did I squeeze you last night?"

Mingli smiled with a good temper: "No, let's get up and eat."

The advantage of the holiday is that you can wake up slowly, go to bed slowly, and do things slowly.

Li Siyuan changed his clothes and went downstairs, what he saw was the small mirror doing homework in the living room.

"Good morning, mirror." Li Siyuan smiled and went up to say hello.

Little Mirror put his index finger in front of his mouth: "Shhh—little uncle is on the phone."

Li Siyuan locked his mouth obediently, and Xiao Jing took the two of them to the restaurant obediently.

"Have you eaten yet?" Li Siyuan filled a bowl of porridge and asked while looking into the small mirror.

Little Mirror nodded: "Uncle cooked me small wontons."

After the little mirror finished speaking, Cheng Li followed into the restaurant.

"Morning, Brother Yuan, I just answered a call."

Cheng Li sat opposite, Li Siyuan smiled and said, "Mirror, let's do homework first, it's hard work to bring uncle to the restaurant."

The little mirror shyly said that you are not welcome, and ran back to the living room with a pen.

Cheng Li looked at Li Siyuan: "Brother Yuan, what should we do next?"

Ming Li swallowed what was in his mouth, and said calmly: "Do you know that there is a family fairy in your family?"

"Family fairy?" Cheng Li frowned: "I don't know."

Li Siyuan said: "Your grandfather is offering family immortals in the main house. Brother Ming and I went to see it last night. He felt something was wrong."

He explained to Cheng Li what Xia Jiaxian was, and Cheng Li reacted for a while before he scratched his hair agitatedly.

"I knew there was nothing good about him being mysterious." Cheng Li lit a cigarette: "I thought of something, it might be related to this."

Li Siyuan looked up at him: "Say it."

Cheng Li shook his head, and quickly smoked a whole cigarette: "Eat quickly, the old man will leave in a while."

Li Siyuan and Ming Li looked at each other, quickly settled their breakfast and followed Cheng Li out.

Cheng Li drove out, went to a car dealership and changed his car to the suburbs.

"The old man will go out for two days every New Year's Eve, and he won't let anyone follow him, only bringing Butler Kong with him." Cheng Li followed the car in front of him: "This time it's earlier."

Li Siyuan straightened his sleeves and said, "No one in your family has ever suspected it?"

Cheng Li sneered: "The older he gets, the more cautious he is. All the company's affairs are in his hands. He doesn't want to delegate power. No one dares to make mistakes. What's more, after so many years, everyone has gotten used to it."

Li Siyuan was surprised: "Why didn't he talk about the past?"

"It is said to be an ancestor worship, but every year he is the only one who goes there by himself."

Li Siyuan stopped talking.

The Cheng family's situation was complicated, and it was useless for him to ask, besides, no normal person would think of this kind of aspect.

On the way, Cheng Li contacted again and wanted to change cars. There were bodyguards in Cheng Jialin's car, and if he was not careful, he would definitely attract his attention.

Ming Li glanced at Cheng Li lightly, and said, "No need to change, just follow along."

Cheng Li didn't understand, Ming Li glanced at him: "With me here, I won't find out."

Cheng Li was startled, but Li Siyuan had already become used to it, and had an impression of Ming Li's actions, so he raised his head to Cheng Li and said, "Let's go, if it wasn't for Brother Ming, your skills would have been dumped for a few blocks. gone."

Cheng Li was in a complicated mood.

After driving for five or six hours, it wasn't until the afternoon that Cheng Jialin's car stopped in front of a hotel in the town.

This town is remote, and Li Siyuan has never been here before. Several people booked the same hotel. Cheng Li wore a big hat bought for 19 yuan from a nearby store, making Li Siyuan laugh non-stop.

Even Mingli had a smile on his face.

The three of them booked a family suite, the facilities in the town were not very good, Li Siyuan didn't take a shower, he jumped on the bed without even changing his clothes.

Cheng Li hugged the pillow and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to suggest sleeping with Brother Yuan, and finally went to the single bed with the pillow in his arms.

Mingli opened the window for a while, and the smell of barbecue from downstairs came faintly. Li Siyuan shook Mingli's arm twice. Mingli was watching the news, and looked back at him suspiciously.

Li Siyuan blinked and smiled: "I want to eat barbecue."

Ming Li pursed his lips and said, "But you only ate ice cream yesterday, and you ate hot pot two days ago."

In fact, Li Siyuan's gastritis is not very serious, but Master Yan Jun insists on keeping in good health, and usually won't let him eat indiscriminately.

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year? During the Chinese New Year, you have to eat whatever you want, otherwise it's not a Chinese New Year." Li Siyuan leaned over and continued to shake Mingli's sleeves.

Ming Li was hesitating when Cheng Li suddenly opened the door and came in and shouted, "Brother Yuan, do you two want to eat barbecue..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice, seeing the tall, mighty and domineering brother Yuan in his heart, kneeling on the bed with bare feet, grabbing Mingli's sleeves with both hands and shaking them twice.And Mingli sat neatly on the bed, his expression was not as cold as usual, but instead had an inexplicable warmth.

No matter how you look at this picture, it's gay.

Cheng Li struggled for a moment, then closed the door obediently again.

He saw nothing.

Li Siyuan didn't realize what was going on with this man, he turned his head and struggled to get out of bed: "Eat! Let's go downstairs to eat bamboo!"

With nothing around him, Mingli stared blankly at the bed that was slowly returning to its original position, and began to seriously think about which one was more attractive, himself or the barbecue.
