Chapter 57
With previous experience, the two absorbed the energy of the beads much faster.This time, it only took two days for the two of them to absorb a bead.It's just that before the two of them absorbed the second bead, the person Shang Changqi ordered to go down had news.
It turned out that Shang Changqi was skeptical about the purpose of Uncle Shang's purchase of Jade Guanyin, so he sent someone to investigate, and finally found that Uncle Shang bought Jade Guanyin as a birthday present for Mr. Guan.
The housekeeper and the businessman are considered to be two great families with the same reputation, but the fields they attack are not quite the same.Merchants are commercial, while housekeepers are famous in Feng Shui.For example, Guan Sheng even ran into the Supernatural Bureau and became the captain of the second team. There are also some young juniors in various sects or departments of the Supernatural Bureau.
And Mr. Guan is even more famous in Fengshui, but he just washed his hands more than ten years ago.Even so, there were quite a few people who invited him out of the mountain.
"That guy Guan Sheng knows Feng Shui?" Qingyi was a little curious about Guan Sheng's background.After all, the other party's sloppy look doesn't seem like he knows Feng Shui.
"He doesn't know feng shui, but he is born with yin and yang eyes, and can see things that other people can't see, so he finally went to Maoshan to learn ghost hunting, and after he came back, he went to the ghost bureau." Shang Changqi still knows something about the housekeeper. Yes, "The butler has been getting worse every year. The old man Guan is best at Fengshui, but none of his grandchildren are talented in Fengshui. But although they are not talented in Fengshui, they are talented in other aspects No less. It's just..."
Speaking of this, Shang Changqi was also a little emotional.After all, there is no descendant to inherit the mantle, which is really a sad thing.
"It's just the younger generation, right? Guan Sheng is the son of Mr. Guan? Could it be the only child? No, where does the only child have grandchildren?" Qingyi frowned.
"Guan Sheng is ranked third, and there are two older brothers and one older sister." Shang Changqi saw that Qing Yi was curious, so he gave a detailed introduction.
Mr. Guan has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Guan Qiusheng, is the most talented in Feng Shui.However, due to fate, he died in an accidental car accident when he was in his twenties.
As for the other children, they have no talent for Feng Shui at all.The second son, Guan Wenmao, inherited her grandmother's medical talent and went to become a doctor.The third son, Guan Sheng, has a talent for catching ghosts, and went to work as a policeman in the Supernatural Bureau. As for the fourth son, Guan Jingling, just like his elder brother, he inherited his grandmother's medical talent, and then went to become a medical expert.
Except for the dead boss and Guan Sheng who is not yet married, Guan Wenmao and Guan Jingling have already married and had children, and they are the kind that have both children.
"It's Grandpa Guan's [-]th birthday in three days, so my second uncle wanted to find a good gift to give away, and then seek the help of Grandpa Guan." Shang Changqi's expression turned cold when he talked about his second uncle, " I photographed the person who watched him before and said that he found a double to cover up so he didn't find out. Now he escaped, probably because he was worried that I would attack him, so he was in a hurry to seek asylum."
Thinking of the picture she saw in the company, Qingyi sighed, hugged Shang Changqi, "You still have me."
Shang Changqi hugged Qingyi and hummed lightly.
Regardless of the old man's [-]th birthday, Shang Changqi was naturally also invited, after all, she is now the person in charge of the business.And Qingyi, out of the desire to join in the fun, also attended with Shang Changqi.
In addition to Taoist priests and nuns wearing Taoist robes, there were also some business people in suits and leather shoes.Although it looked a little weird, everyone seemed to be used to it, and didn't feel the slightest abnormality.
"Every ten years' birthday, Mr. Guan will hold a banquet, so everyone is not surprised." Seeing Qing Yi's scrutinizing gaze, Shang Changqi knew what Qing Yi was thinking, and explained it to Qing Yi. "I'm going to give gifts to Mr. Guan, will you go with me or find a place to wait for me?"
Qingyi looked at the crowd surrounded by three circles not far away, quickly shook her head, and pointed to the balcony: "I won't join in the fun, I'll wait for you on the balcony."
Shang Changqi also knew that he would be polite for a while, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to take care of Qingyi, so he kissed Qingyi on the forehead, sent someone to the balcony, and then turned away with the gift.
Besides her, Qi Qi and Bai Jian also came to congratulate each other on behalf of their respective families. When they bumped into each other, the three of them passed together.
Seeing the three of them passing by and the crowd giving way to let them in, Qingyi looked away, after all, the backs of those men were nothing to look at.
"Master Qingyi."
Qingyi, who was leaning on the guardrail watching the scenery, heard someone calling herself, and looked down following the voice, and saw Xiao Liu and the others sitting in the back garden on the first floor.
Qingyi felt that yelling was too eye-catching, so she could only raise her hand and wave to a few people as a greeting.After seeing her say hello, Xiao Liu stopped chatting with others, Qiqi got up and went upstairs to find her.
It's boring to be alone, so Qing Yi didn't dislike it, and waited for the two of them to reach the balcony together before saying hello, "Good evening."
"Good evening." Xiao Liu patted the back of his head, "Master Qingyi, are you really not coming to our Ghost Bureau? I feel that without your help, it would be inconvenient for us to catch ghosts."
"My salary is very high." Qingyi didn't answer directly.
Thinking of the reward for asking Qing Yi to help, Xiao Liu quickly shut up.A case is tens of millions, wouldn't it be hundreds of millions in a month?He couldn't be the master, so he could only change the subject with a smirk, asking Qing Yi if he had caught any ghosts or monsters recently.
Seeing the faces of the two as if they were waiting to hear the story, Qingyi couldn't help laughing: "Is this going to be a story?" Before they could reply, she picked up the third elementary school and Zhonggu The matter of the shop was revealed, but as for that Taoist priest Li Mingxuan, she never mentioned it, and even the traces of selling beads in the middle-aged shop were wiped out by her.
But even so, Xiao Liu and Xiao Hua were yearning for each other.
Xiao Liu suddenly remembered something, and asked a little embarrassedly: "By the way, Master Qingyi, can you give me some advice? My mental power seems to have encountered a bottleneck recently, and I haven't moved for several months. I haven't been able to break through for a long time. to the next stage."
Xiao Hua on the side also hurriedly proposed the matter of guidance.
Qingyi got to know the two of them for a while, knowing their hearts and minds, it's still okay.After thinking about it, she said, "I can't say it's a guide, I can only give you a reference."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Hua nodded quickly, and quickly took out their mobile phones to record.
Although Qingyi is not a person with spiritual power, but drawing amulets and chanting spells will use spiritual power, so she still has some understanding.Most importantly, she saw the irritability in Xiao Liu's heart. After explaining her understanding of mental power to the other party, she added, "Haste makes waste. Spiritual power is no small matter. If something unexpected happens, When we meet again, maybe we will be in a mental hospital."
Xiao Liu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed a little, and lowered his head guiltily: "I was too anxious."
Qingyi shook her head: "If you can calm down and stabilize your mental power, it may take as little as one month or as long as three months, and your mental power will be able to break through."
Xiaoliu knew that Qingyi could be said to be a fortune teller. Hearing what she said, she immediately felt at ease, and promised that she would calm down and practice cultivation in the future, and would not be impetuous on the surface.
Qingyi nodded, and gave Xiao Hua some guidance.As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shang Changqi and the others coming back, and walked up with a smile: "Have you finished delivering the presents?"
"Yeah." Shang Changqi glanced at Xiao Liu and the two on the balcony, then turned his gaze away and nodded, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to have some snacks first."
Mr. Guan's birthday party was turned into a banquet mode, where everyone can talk and chat, and at the same time, there are various snacks and drinks, so that the guests can fill their stomachs when they are hungry.
Qingyi really didn't eat much when she went out, so she readily accepted Shang Changqi's suggestion.
"Do you want to go together?" Shang Changqi put his arms around Qingyi's waist, and looked back at Xiaoliu and the others.
Xiao Liu wanted to go, but there were two unfamiliar girls, Qi Qi and Bai Jian, who suddenly hesitated.But in the next second, Xiao Hua who was next to him followed Qing Yi.With the lead, he quickly nodded and followed.
Shang Changqi knew a lot of people. During the walk from the balcony to the cake table, there were at least a dozen people who came forward to say hello, but they were all confused by Bai Jian and exchanged A business card is an acquaintance.
There are many types of dim sum, and they are very delicate.As soon as a few people approached, they could smell the greasy cream fragrance in an instant.Qing Yi is not a dessert lover, and she has no pursuit of cream, so she went directly to some desserts with less cream.
Qingyi took a few glances, and after seeing a matcha-flavored dessert, she reached out her hand.
"Drink some warm water first, and then eat the cake." Shang Changqi stopped Qingyi from reaching out to the cake plate, poured a cup of warm water from the water dispenser on the side, and handed it to Qingyi.
Qingyi took the water glass, a little helpless: "But the water is too hot."
"Then I'll blow it for you." Shang Changqi took the water glass back very naturally, put it on his lips and gently blowed it.
The few people on the side were eating dog food, and they always felt a little full before they had any snacks.
Qi Qi protested: "Do you want to be so nasty? Is it really good to show your affection in public? At least restrain yourself?"
"If you are not convinced, you can bring someone to show your affection." Shang Changqi didn't raise his head, feeling that it was almost done, touched the wall of the cup with his hand before handing it to Qingyi.
"Thank you." Qing Yi took it with a smile, drank half a glass of water slowly, and then put the glass down.In the next second, she saw a cake sticking out of her mouth, and when she heard an "ah", she subconsciously opened her mouth, and the spoon with the cake stuck into her mouth.
It was the matcha flavor she was looking for.Qingyi raised her head, and seeing Shang Changqi's "I'll feed you" attitude, she didn't refuse, just like that, you fed me and wiped out a piece of snack.
Qi Qi on one side: ...I'm so angry, I'm so full.
Fortunately, the birthday party started, and Mr. Guan started to speak, which interrupted the feeding plan of the two of them.
"First of all, thank you for coming to my [-]th birthday in spite of your busy schedule..." Mr. Guan's powerful voice reached the ears of everyone present.
Qingyi was on the inside of the crowd, looking up.Although Mr. Guan is 80 years old, he looks old and strong, he is still in good spirits, and he does not look old at all.
After Mr. Guan finished his explanation, it was time to unwrap the presents.Gifts don't matter how expensive they are, after all, gifts are more important than gifts.For example, the gifts from the younger generations of the housekeeper are mostly things like ginseng and ancient books that can prolong life. The youngest granddaughter, who is only five years old, sends portraits of the family.Although he was young and his paintings were not good-looking, he was the one who had to keep the old man happy.
After the family gives the gift, it is the guest's gift.They were disassembled according to the order in which they came to give gifts. If they came across interesting ones, Mr. Guan would just say a few more words, and the ordinary ones were fine. Just report the name and it's over.
The first applause was the Jade Guanyin presented by Uncle Shang.The Jade Guanyin is completely white, with a compassionate expression, and the carving is so detailed that the eyelashes are clearly defined.The most important thing is that as soon as the Jade Guanyin took off the wrapped cloth, it instantly gave off a chill.Everyone present could feel a chill in their bodies, and then their heads seemed to become much clearer.
As the so-called "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha", Second Uncle Shang gave this jade Guanyin to Mr. Guan, which seems to be a good gift.
Except for those who were surprised, Qingyi noticed that the old man Guan didn't show any joy, but just asked the servants to put away the gift, treating it like an ordinary gift.
Qingyi smiled, it seems that the old man Guan also felt it, although this Jade Guanyin was polished and carved again, but after all, it was the burial object of the zombie king in 2000, the yin energy was too heavy, too much contact would not be good for the human body, it would also harm the body. There are disadvantages.
Second Uncle Shang spent all his savings in order to buy this Jade Guanyin, how could he let Old Man Guan just put it away so plainly?If Mr. Guan thinks this gift is nothing, wouldn't he have no way to hug his thigh?
"Wait a minute." Second Uncle Shang came out of the crowd, just in time to see Shang Changqi in the first row opposite, his back froze immediately, but he still bite the bullet and said, "Master Guan, I wish you good luck like Donghai Shoubi Nanshan .”
"Thank you." Mr. Guan recognized Second Uncle Shang, "It's rare to come here, remember to eat more delicious food tonight." Although he doesn't care about things, he still knows what he should know.For example, Uncle Shang was punished by a 20-year-old girl, and he knew it clearly.
Second Uncle Shang secretly scolded the old fox. After all, if the other party didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything directly. He could only say a few words of congratulations, and then stepped aside.
"It seems that Mr. Guan also knows that it's not good to intervene." Shang Changqi lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Qingyi knew the consequences of Second Uncle Shang without even thinking about it, so she didn't pay too much attention, instead she focused her attention on the old man in charge.
This is her grandfather, and there are also her family members around.
She looked at the group blankly.Although she knew that blood dissolves in water, she didn't have the desire to go up to her relatives. Maybe she was used to being alone.
"What's wrong?" Shang Changqi noticed Qingyi's abnormality, and touched Qingyi's forehead with the back of his hand, "Is there something uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." Qingyi shook her head, just in time to see Shang Changqi's turn to receive a gift, and motioned for him to look over.
Shang Changqi's gift was the beads that the two had harvested before.Out of selfishness, Qingyi cleared away the evil spirit of the biggest bead, and then gave it to Shang Changqi as a gift to Mr. Guan.
This is also her wish.Although the old man has no inherited descendants and is getting old, it is not a matter of a day or two to re-train a descendant.But if you absorb the energy in this bead, although you can't say that you can regain your radiance, it will stimulate your body's functions and make you ten years younger is not a dream.
"What is this? Isn't it the marbles played by children?" Some people were unable to see the energy in the beads, and there was a lot of discussion.After all, what does it mean to send a bead for the old man's birthday?
But there are also experts who can see the mystery at a glance, and suddenly gasped.Mr. Guan obviously knew the goods, and when he saw the bead, he couldn't help asking his servants to bring it over and put it in his hand to look at it.
The energy of the bead spread along his arm automatically without actively absorbing it, which cheered him up and made his complexion much rosier.This remarkable effect made Mr. Guan very happy, and asked who gave this bead?
It was her second daughter-in-law who registered the gift.After listening to the old man Guan's question, the second daughter-in-law Guan quickly browsed, and finally found the gift giver.
"Dad, it's the boss of the business." The boss of the business naturally refers to Shang Changqi.
"It seems that talented people are born from generation to generation." Mr. Guan said with emotion.Sending this bead shows that Shang Changqi knows that there is energy in it.But knowing the function of this bead and being willing to give this bead out, it means that the other party does not lack or does not like this bead.No matter what kind of answer it is, to old man Guan, it is worth his friendship.
Although the old man noticed that some people's eyes became salivating, he didn't take it seriously. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Those people who want to snatch things from him have to weigh whether they have the ability.
"Where's Chang Qi?" Mr. Guan put the beads in his hand, obviously very satisfied with the gift, and looked at it, "Chang Qi has a heart for this gift."
When Shang Changqi saw her name being called, she could only pat Qingyi on the back, and walked out from the crowd: "Just don't care if the old man likes this gift." After a pause, she continued, "Actually, this This gift is not mine, it can only be regarded as an offering to Buddha with flowers."
"Oh? I don't know who prepared it? I would like to say thank you, is she here?"
"It's my sweetheart." Shang Changqi was about to introduce Qingyi, and by the way, revealed their identities in front of everyone to show off their affection, when the window of the mansion was suddenly shattered by something.
Qing Yi, who was still thinking about whether to hide in the crowd, was the first to sense something was wrong, and quickly stepped forward to block the wind blade that was hitting Mr. Guan.
"Pa—" Qingyi turned the wind blade to the other side with a serious expression.Shang Changqi also reacted, and hurried to Qingyi's side, asking what's going on.
"I still smelled a bad smell just now, so it was you, the annoying guy, who came here again." Qingyi pulled Shang Changqi behind her, looked at the wall of the broken window with a sneer, and quickly took out the bag in her hand. Throw a Thunder Talisman over.
"Snapped--"
A tall figure stepped out of the shadows.The Millennium Zombie King has recovered, still wearing the tattered armor, blue-faced fangs, and the big ax in his hand rustling.
After seeing his appearance clearly, the people present panicked instantly, and some timid ones started to scream.There are even people who want to run around.It's just that the group of people backed away in fright before they even left the door, because at the door, there were zombies with their mouths open showing their fangs.
They have been surrounded by zombies.This idea quickly emerged in the minds of those present.
"Why are you guys again?" The Millennium Zombie King frowned.The main reason is that he has come to his senses, and has already suffered several times from Qingyi's hands.In the beginning, it was just a coincidence that he was able to hurt him, but now, the opponent's strength is really getting stronger and stronger.
Qingyi also felt that the zombie king was lingering, "I should be the one asking you this question."
"Forget it, I just cleaned you up together." The Millennium Zombie King waved his hand, and many zombie generals jumped in from the window, and then rushed towards the guests present.
A small number of guests present were half-understood about these things, and they had no power to protect themselves.Although the old man hurriedly sent people to gather those guests who had no self-protection power together for protection, while the guests of those sects quickly resorted to their own methods, either killing those zombies or immobilizing them or taking them away. up.
Qingyi asked Shang Changqi to protect Mr. Guan, while she rushed up to deal with the Millennium Zombie King.She was very glad that she didn't come in a skirt today, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to move around.She rushed up and started throwing talisman papers, completely out of control.And because she came to attend the banquet, it is not easy for her to bring too many talisman papers, so the talisman papers will soon bottom out.
"Without talisman paper, I'll see how you can deal with me." The Millennium Zombie King laughed and rushed over with a big axe.
"Do you think I'm really afraid of you?" Qingyi usually uses talisman paper mainly to be lazy, after all, she always needs to move her mouth when chanting a mantra, and there are coordinating gestures, which is not as convenient as throwing talisman paper.Seeing that the Zombie King misunderstood that she could only rely on talisman paper, she didn't explain, and quickly rushed forward with a spell.
Her mental strength is strong, and it takes almost a second or two to recite a spell, and she can almost launch an attack after reciting silently in her heart.
The Millennium Zombie King didn't have a long memory, and he underestimated the enemy from the very beginning, so that he was shocked by Qing Yi's "Thunder Curse", and he still used an ax to drive the lightning out before he regained his freedom.It was this miss that made him have to re-examine Qingyi's combat effectiveness.
The most powerful Millennium Zombie King was held back by Qing Yi, which made the rest of the people heave a sigh of relief.Especially Shang Changqi, knowing that the Millennium Zombie King had lost to Qingyi before, and now that Qingyi had become stronger, he was probably no match for him, so he safely escorted Mr. Guan to join the other sects.
However, she noticed that Mr. Guan's expression remained unchanged, he pointed in Qingyi's direction with a look of astonishment, and asked with some trepidation, "Then little friend—"
Shang Changqi looked in the direction of his finger and saw Qingyi who was fighting, and didn't understand what old man Guan wanted to say.
"This is my lover." Shang Changqi said, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Guan's originally surprised expression instantly turned into a black face, which made Shang Changqi on the side a little confused.But Shang Changqi always remembered Qingyi's request, and quickly said to let old man Guan stay behind.Just make sure that Mr. Guan is okay, so she can go back to help.
"Go back and help her." After saying that, Mr. Guan made a gesture to stop the rushing zombie. At the age of 80, his skills are not much different from those young guys.
Shang Changqi was a little hesitant, after all what Qingyi said was to take good care of Mr. Guan.
"Don't be mother-in-law, if you don't want to go, let me go." Mr. Guan became angry when he saw Shang Changqi like this, and his original appreciation disappeared because of the other party's explanation just now, "If she gets hurt, I will find your merchant to go desperately .” As he spoke, he hurriedly asked Guan Sheng to come over.
Guan Sheng hurriedly killed the nearby zombies and asked Xiao Liu and Xiao Hua to protect their family before coming over to ask what was the matter.
"Go help that girl." Mr. Guan pointed to Qingyi who was forcing the thousand-year-old Zombie King to beat her up, "If anything happens to her, you will die."
Guan Sheng didn't understand, so he said, "What are you doing? I'm your son." And anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Qing Yi has the upper hand, okay?He might have been a disservice in the past.
"That's your niece!" Old Man Guan stared at his beard angrily, kicked Guan Sheng, and kicked him to the fighting side.
Guan Sheng, who hadn't recovered from his father's words, quickly hit the Millennium Zombie King's palm, and directly hit the sofa beside him.
The author has something to say: Qi Qi: mmp, I wanted to eat some snacks, but I was full of dog food.
Bai Jian: Plus one.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Hua silently put down the snacks: We too...
Suddenly found that it may be over soon, if it is fast, it will be in the middle of the month, if it is slow, it will be at the end of the month. (Bless the poisonous milk.)
