No one is born old, and no one is young and frivolous. The past events are vivid in his mind, and the Yan Luo in front of him is not his real body, but his eyes are still moist.
"This painting was painted when I was working with my husband. It is one of my most proud paintings. My husband, Mr. Ya Zhengshi, also said it was good. I asked him to write an inscription on the painting, and he ended up painting this spirit-sealing gourd on the painting.
When I left my husband, I took away everything that belonged to me, including this painting. For a while, I held a grudge against my husband and vented my dissatisfaction to his back in the painting every day. Until one time
A powerful enemy came to my door. I was no match for that person. When I was about to die, that person saw the painting and recognized my husband, so he spared my life."
"Haha, you shouldn't die." Tan Xuan sneered, and then asked his doubts, "Since the old man's portrait saved you, why did you burn the painting?"
"I didn't expect that I would save my life because of a painting. At the same time, I also realized my husband's status in the eyes of others. I felt shameless to face my husband, so I wanted to burn the painting, but when it was halfway burned,
I regretted it again, I had no face to face my husband, but if there was no husband, there would be no me, so I hung the painting up again."
Tan Xuan shook his head, "What you painted is the back. Maybe there is a secret figure. There is no question of whether you have the face to face the old man. Besides, what you are hanging now is no longer the portrait of the old man, but your peace of mind."
.”
"Uh..." Yan Luo muttered without making any rebuttal, "Maybe you are right. So I invited you to the study, just to identify myself with you and shamelessly hope that you can look at Mr.
If you are kind enough to transfer Ghost King Li Hui's Soul Mountain to me, I can swear to you in front of your portrait that I will only use the Soul Mountain to survive in this world and will not use it to harm anyone..."
[In other words, it is currently the best app for reading and listening to books.
?"
"I'll fight now."
Yan Luo was very flexible in dodging, but unfortunately he met the unreasonable Tan Xuan. After being caught by Tan Xuan, he did not regain his freedom until his face had obviously gained weight.
After the beating, Tan Xuan felt refreshed and in much better spirits. He said with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's talk about business now. I can give you the Soul Mountain. What do you want to exchange for it?"
"I'm ready for this. I just don't know if you like it."
As he spoke, Yan Luo took out a jade box the size of a cigarette case from under the desk and placed it on top of the desk.
Tan Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "What's in this? It's actually stored in spiritual jade."
Yan Luo smiled slightly, "This is a good thing that I worked hard to find. See if I can exchange it for the soul mountain of that guy Li Hui."
Yan Luo put away his smile, waved his hand, and a blue flame appeared from his fingertips, igniting the talisman paper on the jade box. After the talisman paper turned to ashes, he carefully opened the jade box, revealing a little finger-sized piece inside.
A flawless white bamboo shoot-like thing.
When Tan Xuan saw the contents in the box, he immediately narrowed his eyes, but there was no increase in sight in his eyes, and there was also a sense of fire in them.
"Is this the Sun Bamboo Shoot?"
"good eyesight."
Yan Luo smiled and closed the box again.
"How do you feel if I exchange this with you?"
"Although it's of no use to me, it's undeniable that it's a good thing. Forget it, I'll suffer a little loss because you brought out the old man's relationship."
As if he had suffered a great loss, Tan Xuan slowly took off the gourd from his waist and pressed it on the desk, "Okay, how can I hand over the Soul Mountain to you? You should have known that the Soul Mountain is useless after you have been with the old man for so long.
The Lord's things will completely dissipate within three breaths after leaving the gourd. Don't you think it's possible to exchange souls for souls?"
"No, no, how can I handle it with my current body?" Yan Luo shook his head quickly, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Tan, can you help me put the soul mountain into my body?"
"No problem, where is your physical body?" Tan Xuan agreed happily, and at the same time, he quickly put the jade box on the table into his pocket.
"Wait a moment." Yan Luo took off the portrait of Old Master Guan on the wall, knocked on the wall a few times and then pressed in. A palm-sized area was dented in the wall. Then Yan Luo came to the desk again.
Press down the inner corner of the desk, and with a "click", the corner of the desk droops down.
"Ka...ka..."
A gap opened in the ground under the desk. The gap opened wider and wider, and finally turned into a hole more than one meter square. There were steps below the hole. Although it was dark inside, it was not dark.
"Please follow me." Yan Luo took the lead and turned into the cave entrance, followed by Tan Xuan.
"Your underground building is a duplex, so it's okay. Haha! The floors here are made of reinforced concrete, and they're so thick. It seems like you're careful enough. Haha...
Tan Xuan commented as he walked.
The lower floor is not big, it is the study room and there is a basement, but separated by one floor, the upstairs and downstairs are completely two worlds. The upstairs is quaint, but the downstairs are completely modern products. The writing desk, the boss
Chair, computer, microphone, a wall of monitors, and a bathroom next to it..
Looking at the room with more complete electronic equipment than his own, Tan Xuan sneered, "No wonder you know the situation outside so well. It turns out that you rely not on ability but on technology. With the equipment you have here, the daily electricity bill is not
I don't know where you stole the electricity."
Yan Luo Zhen laughed twice and said: "It's funny, although we often deal with ghosts, we can't deviate from society. Technology is advancing, and we should also keep pace with the times."
Tan Xuan glanced at Yan Luo disdainfully, "I guess I have too many enemies and can't sleep well. Why do I have to talk so high-sounding? Stop talking nonsense, where is your body? I will give you the Soul Mountain, and our business is over.
I don’t care what you have here. Even if you build an atomic bomb here, what does it have to do with me?”
"Don't worry, wait a moment."
Yan Luo pulled out the drawer of his desk and entered a series of numbers on the input device inside. A secret door appeared under the stairs behind him. He opened the lock and pushed the secret door open, revealing another dark space.
"Come in, my physical body is inside." Yan Luo walked into the darkness first.
Tan Xuan followed behind and couldn't help complaining: "Cunning Rabbit Sanku, you are better than Rabbit, you should be called Lao Rabbit from now on, and your style here has to change so suddenly? There are still bright lights outside the door, why is there so much inside?
I can’t even see my fingers.”
Before Tan Xuan finished speaking, the door behind him closed automatically, and there was finally light in front of him, but it was not a dazzling electric light, but a candle. Next to the candle stood Yan Luo, and in front of the candle was
A black coffin.
"Is that you inside?"
"It's me inside."
The brief conversation sounded like pure lunacy to outsiders, but after receiving the answer, Tan Xuan stepped forward and patted the coffin lid, then pushed forward and pushed the coffin lid to the ground.
"Is this you?" Looking at the person lying in the coffin, Tan Xuan frowned instantly. Although the person in the coffin was dressed the same as the person in front of him, the difference in appearance was too big. The person in front of him looked just six months old.
He is more than ten years old, but the one inside is at least ninety years old, and the folds on his face are denser than the pine bark outside.
"It's me," Yan Luo's soul admitted with a smile.
"How dare I ask you, Lao Guigeng?" Tan Xuan asked with a strange expression.
"Sixty-six." Yan Luo's soul stretched out his hand and made a sign of six, flipping it back and forth.
"Then what have you been through and how did you become like this?"
Yan Luo's living soul smiled bitterly and said: "Controlling ghosts consumes vitality, not to mention that I have been seriously injured. It is already good to be able to maintain this state. You see that my living soul is young now. That is because I just swallowed the ghost energy yesterday. I need it."
It takes three days of absorbing my body to turn me back into my current appearance. I didn’t expect you to come today, which is why I said it’s not convenient to see guests.”
Tan Xuan snorted dissatisfied, "You've come here, why have you been sneaking around all this time? If you had told the truth earlier, would the situation today have happened?"
Without waiting for Yan Luo to answer, Tan Xuan asked again: "I will give you Soul Mountain now, are you sure it will be useful?"
"It's more effective now than when I woke up. But if my soul returns to my body now, I'll have to sleep for an hour. I hope that for the sake of my husband, brother, you can help me to endure it."
"Haha..." Tan Xuan looked at the other person and sneered, "Ask me to protect you, you are really good at scheming."
Yan Luo bowed deeply to Tan Xuan and begged, "Please, Yan will be very grateful once the thing is done."
Tan Xuan curled his lips and said, "We won't be able to express our gratitude until the work is done. What if it doesn't work? My hard work will be in vain?"
"No, no, thank you very much as well." Yan Luo quickly explained.
Tan Xuan shook his head, "What happens afterwards will be discussed later, but should we do what needs to be done first?"
"What's the matter?" Yan Luo looked at Tan Xuan with a puzzled look and asked. The business was settled and everything that was due was given. He didn't know what else to do.
Tan Xuan suddenly became unhappy, his face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "What did you promise me yesterday? Have you forgotten?"
