The Real Miss is a Genius Taoist Master - Chapter 157
The location chosen by Cheng Huaying is a time-honored private restaurant, located in a small road, it is really not easy to find if there is no location.
The facade is small, but the decoration is very delicate, white and simple European style, each table is covered with mint green tablecloths, a small vase on the table, a white rose in full bloom, everywhere is a kind of elegance and low-key The petty bourgeoisie.
“The box reserved by Mr. Cheng is on the second floor.” The waiter greeted him, looked at the cat in Tang Xi’s arms and stopped talking.
“Well, are pets allowed in your store?” Tang Xi asked.
“No in the lobby, for the box… as long as the lady can guarantee that it won’t run around.” The waiter hesitated.
“Okay, I’ll be optimistic about it.” Tang Xi nodded without saying anything.
It depends on the attitude of the waiter. The answer is no. The agreement should be based on Cheng Huaying’s. It seems that Cheng Huaying is not just looking for a restaurant.
The waiter took them to the second floor and knocked twice on the door of the most extreme box.
Tang Xi noticed that the only difference between this box and the box passing by in front was that there was no brand name affixed.
“Come on.” Cheng Huaying opened the door in person.
“Oh, good Uncle Cheng.” Tang Xi grabbed the white cat’s paw and waved it.
“Excuse me,” Pei Qing said.
Cheng Huaying glanced at the combination of the two of them and the cat, with a weird expression. After a pause, he let the guest: “Come in, Xiaofang, you let the kitchen be ready for food.”
“Okay.” The waiter nodded and went down.
“How to bring the cat?” Cheng Huaying asked casually.
“Be good anyway.” Tang Xi took a cushion and placed it on an empty chair, then put the white cat on it, and exhorted: “Be good, don’t make trouble, or throw you into the hot pot.”
“…” Cheng Huaying had a black line on her face, and slapped her cat’s head smoothly, “How do you say this, I…”
However, at that moment, his movements froze completely.
“Meow~” The white cat stood up on the mat, hunched its back, and whispered, the snow-white hair standing upright as if it were exploded, and a faint aura emerged all over the body.
At the same time, Cheng Huaying also had the same aura.
“This…” Tang Xi was dumbfounded.
“Huh?” There was a flash of black shadow beside him, Xie Changan was already standing next to Cheng Huaying, looking at the place where his hand touched the white cat in surprise.
“Xie Changan, what’s going on?” Tang Xi asked subconsciously.
“Um…no?” Xie Changan looked at Cheng Huaying and the white cat with an incredible expression.
“Hey, don’t sell it! What’s the situation?” Tang Xi glared at him.
“In this case, it can only be of the same origin.” Xie Changan frowned, “Human and cat…same as the same origin? What a joke. Moreover, this spiritual power fluctuation is very familiar, very familiar…”
“Have you seen this spiritual power fluctuation?” Tang Xi asked, but seeing Xie Changan with a pensive expression again, he couldn’t help but shouted, “Xie Changan! Xie Changan!”
“Xie Changan…” Cheng Huaying said the name again, and a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
“Uncle Cheng, are you okay?” Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, but still did not reach out to touch him.
It can be seen that the spiritual power between a person and a cat has formed a perfect cycle. If a third party is forced to intervene, no one can say what will happen.
“You guys step back.” Xie Changan stretched out his hand and stopped.
Tang Xi frowned slightly, pulling Pei Qing back.
Suddenly, she remembered what Bai Xue had said, don’t trust the underworld too much.
After getting along for a long time, she didn’t feel that Xie Changan was malicious to her, but for white lie, Lord Bai Wuchang had a criminal record. She didn’t suspect that Xie Changan lied to her about the ghost door, but there were definitely some things that Xie Changan knew, or he guessed it, but didn’t tell her. After all, in this matter, their sources of information are too unmatched.
“Boom boom boom.”
At this moment, the door of the box was knocked, and the sweet voice of the waiter came from outside: “Mr. Cheng, we are serving food.”
“Wait a minute.” Tang Xi shouted, “Thank you to put it on the table at the door. We will take it by ourselves for a while. It’s not very convenient now.”
“Ah, good.” The waiter responded with a daze.
Then there was a sound of clashing dishes, and then the sound of footsteps faded away.
Tang Xi opened the door after a while, and she saw that there were eight dishes and one soup on the long table in the hallway used to divide the dishes, as well as awake red wine and a pot of freshly squeezed orange juice. She beckoned and motioned to Pei Qingzhi to come over and move the things in first, so that the waiter might not see it for a while and might even think that something went wrong inside.
After closing the box door and locking it again, Cheng Huaying and the white cat were both floating off the ground.
“Second Uncle Cheng… is it a living person?” Pei Qingzhi asked with a face.
“Right.” Tang Xi looked up at the person floating in the air that completely violated the laws of physics.
Not only Cheng Huaying, the white cat is also alive. Although the bone age of 38 is a bit strange, but besides that it is indeed a cat…wait!
Turning her head, she blurted out and asked: “How old is Uncle Cheng?”
“This…” Pei Qing was startled and hesitated, “More than thirty, less than forty? I don’t know the specifics, after all, I’m not familiar. Second Uncle Cheng has never held a birthday party or other party in public. It has always been mysterious. Ism.”
“Let me ask.” Tang Xi immediately took out his mobile phone.
Within a few minutes, the news of Cheng Yihang came back: 38.
Tang Xi’s eyes narrowed—what a coincidence? No, it can’t be a coincidence.
Soon, Cheng Yihang also sent the next message: What’s wrong?
Tang Xi replied “It’s okay”, then looked up at the person and cat in the sky, her eyes very serious.
“What did you think of?” Pei Qingzhi asked softly.
“That’s not right, Cheng Ershu’s soul is complete, and there is no trace of separation.” Tang Xi shook her head, denying herself, then went to see the white cat, and muttered to herself, “The cat’s soul is a bit weak, but…they is also complete. It’s strange, where did the spiritual power come from? Why haven’t I felt it? It’s so strange.”
Pei Qingzhi pointed to Xie Changan’s back.
Tang Xi gritted his teeth. This guy, even if he didn’t know it before, he guessed it 80% of the time now, just didn’t tell her!
“It’s not that I didn’t tell you.” Although Xie Changan turned his back to her, he seemed to have heard her abdomen, and said, “I just haven’t been completely sure yet. The situation in the underworld is probably worse than I expected.”
“Is he someone you know?” Tang Xi stepped forward and stood side by side with him, and asked faintly, “Or is his soul a ghost you know?”
Xie Changan gave her a surprised look.
“You told me your reaction.” Tang Xi snorted coldly.
“I still can’t be sure.” Xie Changan sighed and said helplessly, “I thought my stay in the world for one hundred and fifty years would be the limit. I didn’t expect that he would choose a more decisive method.”
“He?” Tang Xi frowned and blurted out, “Could it be… Samsara?”
“The ghost gate is closed, and the passage between the human world and the underworld is severed, but… from the underworld to the human world, there is actually a way.” Xie Changan said.
“Well of Reincarnation.” Tang Xi replied.
“Ghost chaplain is not incapable of being reincarnated in reincarnation.” Xie Changan said, “If you don’t want to continue to be a ghost chaplain, you can choose to step down and re-enter the samsara. Therefore, there have always been many ghosts who choose reincarnation. After all, no one can endure hundreds of thousands of loneliness.”
“Re-entering reincarnation is no different from a mortal, right?” Tang Xi said.
“Of course. Heaven also needs to be balanced.” Xie Changan said without hesitation, “It’s absolutely impossible to carry the memory of the underworld, such as the reincarnation.”
“If…” Tang Xi thought for a while before saying, “How about separating soul from memory?”
Xie Changan looked at her with a hint of appreciation and pride.
“So…” Tang Xi pointed at Cheng Huaying, gritted his teeth and said, “Is he really the ghost who came to the world through the well of reincarnation? And think of a way to send his memories to the world?”
“I’ve heard of one thing.” Pei Qingzhi said suddenly, “In fact, there have been rumors that Cheng Huaying is not the biological son of the Cheng family, but the child that Mrs. Cheng took back after a trip.”
“Then why is it just a rumor?” Tang Xi puzzled.
“Because Mrs. Cheng’s international travel has lasted for more than half a year.” Pei Qingzhi explained, “It is possible to take it back. It is not impossible to be pregnant before departure. The Cheng family does not admit or deny it, and treats the child and the biological There is no difference, so it has always been just a private rumor, and not many people believe it.”
“I always feel…there are not many ghosts who can do such crazy things.” Tang Xi muttered.
“There happens to be one.” Xie Changan continued.
“I think about the same as you.” Tang Xi said, her expression relaxed.
If they guessed well, it might be the best news. They can learn the real situation of the underworld after the ghost gate is closed.
At this moment, Cheng Huaying and the white cat in the air gradually began to fall, and the aura around them also faded.
“Meow!” The white cat suddenly jumped and plunged into Tang Xi’s arms.
“Are you okay?” Tang Xi touched its head, only to find that its body temperature had returned to normal.
So… the sudden illness was caused by Cheng Huaying’s return to Jiangnan City this morning, so he felt that way? Then last time… By the way, last time Cheng Huaying came to the house! Perhaps it was the approach that triggered something, but unfortunately, if the cat did not hide at that time and let Cheng Huaying hug it, perhaps the problem would have been solved long ago!
Thinking more far-reachingly, Cheng Huaying and Baimao have been in Jiangnan City for so many years, and neither of them has reacted. It seems that it is not so easy to trigger. Maybe she stuffed a human soul into the white cat’s body that time, what switch did she press?
A cat who has been a human can no longer be an ordinary cat.
“Is he okay?” Pei Qing worried.
Cheng Huaying has fallen back to the ground, but it is obvious that there is something flowing under the skin, and the expression on her face can’t help changing. It’s not entirely painful, and there is confusion, shock, fear and sadness, just like a palette. Wonderful.
“I’ll help him.” Xie Changan said, stepping forward, pressing his shoulders, and stretching his head against his forehead.
In an instant, a cold wind rolled up on their sides, and Tang Xi pulled Pei Qingzhi back.
“This breath is so cold.” Pei Qingzhi shivered.
“The source of the power of the ghost is Yin Qi, how can it not be cold.” Tang Xi said.
Circles of substantive Yin Qi slowly dissipated, causing the food on the table to lose heat.
“Ah, it’s a waste.” Tang Xi pursed her lips and complained, “Are you sure you want me to eat? I’m almost starving to death…”
Pei Qingzhi stretched out his hand, and placed a fruit candy wrapped in multicolored glass sugar paper in his palm: “This is the only one, cushion your belly.”
“Are you Doraemon?” Tang Xi’s eyes sparkled.
“You’re a Doraemon alone.” Pei Qingzhi peeled the candy apart and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Boom~” There was a loud noise, and the table full of food was finally unable to escape the fate of destruction, and the tables and chairs were blown away together.
Tang Xi opened the defensive barrier for the first time to protect himself and Pei Qingzhi.
“Meow, meow!” The white cat is now just like a normal cat, crying in fright, desperately grabbing her clothes and trying to escape by jumping over her shoulders.
“Good boy, good boy, it’s okay.” Tang Xi gently stroked the hair on his back, and it took a long time to calm down.
Xie Changan let go and took a step back, with a rare happy smile on his face: “Welcome back, my friend.”
Cheng Huaying blinked and raised her hand to rub her temples. It took a long time to slightly integrate the huge stream of memories that had been poured in, and said in a bad mood, “I don’t want to see you at all? It’s been a hundred and fifty years, how are you? Hasn’t disappeared yet?”
“Almost.” Xie Changan said calmly.
“Last time I asked you when you retired from Samsara, you also said that it will be fast.” Cheng Huaying said.
“Well, I remember it all, it seems that there is basically no loss of memory.” Xie Changan nodded in satisfaction.
“…” Cheng Huaying froze for a while, “So what I hate the most is you guys, why you are the only one left.”
“I’m so sorry that I am the only one left.” Xie Changan sighed, with a sincere expression on his face, “But it’s true that there is only me, and you can only stop it.”
“…”
“Puff—” Tang Xi couldn’t help laughing.
The first time I saw it, Xie Changan could also be so funny.
However, their relationship is actually very good!
“Mr. Cheng?” An anxious voice sounded outside the door, “Mr. Cheng? What happened, please?”
Cheng Huaying came back to his senses, took a look at the messy box, was silent for a moment, and said, “Today the bamboo box is also empty? Just send another table to the next door according to the dishes just now.”
“…Ah, good.” The waiter answered after a long time.
“Most she thought we quarreled and quarreled and raised the table.” Tang Xi said.
“Follow him.” Cheng Huaying kicked away the chair in the way.
“It seems that memory does have a slight influence on personality.” Tang Xi looked at him appraisally.
The memory of thirty-eight years of being a “Cheng Huaying” has not disappeared, but it has merged the memory of hundreds of years of being a ghost-how can only a few decades be compared with hundreds of years? Changes in temperament, behavior and habits are also inevitable.
After some tossing, three people, one ghost and one cat finally moved to the next box.
As for the waiter’s face when he went into the original box to clean up, Tang Xi didn’t want to know. It was Cheng Huaying’s pot, and even if the store was delicious, she would never come again!
“Speaking of inviting you to dinner, the food in this restaurant is really good, try it.” Cheng Huaying took a plate and used public chopsticks to pick up a pile of far away dishes and pushed it to Tang Xi.
“Uncle Cheng, I’m not used to you being so enthusiastic.” Tang Xi rolled his eyes.
“I was cold before?” Cheng Huaying was puzzled, and went to see Pei Qingzhi again.
“It’s not indifferent.” Pei Qingzhi thought about it and said, “Although Ershu Cheng has been running around the world, he was cultivated by the elite education of a wealthy family when he was a child. There is a sense of distance in his bones, or the etiquette of treating people and things-this We have more or less things. But now, it’s more… grounded?”
He hesitated for a long time before finding a suitable adjective.
“Yes.” Cheng Huaying was stunned, picked up the wine glass, drank it, and said, “Under the impact of hundreds of years of memory, for me, the past 30 years of life is really vulnerable. “
“Then, who is this man who has existed for hundreds of years?” Tang Xi asked.
“Guess?” Cheng Huaying raised an eyebrow at her, picked up the red wine bottle, and poured herself another glass.
“Your power is too strong, even overwhelming Bai Wuchang, it can’t be an ordinary ghost.” Tang Xi said casually, “What’s more, ordinary ghosts can’t do the stupid thing of separating soul and memory into the well of reincarnation. I’m not afraid that you won’t be able to get back your memories when you are old and dead? There are very few who dare to do this. Plus Xie Changan’s attitude…that’s right, Lord Heiwuchang.”
“Hahahaha…” Cheng Huaying couldn’t help laughing, “Sure enough, he is also optimistic.”
“There is one more point.” Tang Xi added, “I have seen sister Yun modify the memory of a living person, which requires the aid of charms. But last time in the funeral home, you can modify the memory directly with spiritual power. This point, and Xie Changan The method is very similar.”
“After all, my soul body has done ghost chase, and the spells that I figured out are closer to the ghost chase.” Cheng Huaying nodded.
“Stop talking nonsense, what is going on in the underworld now?” Xie Changan couldn’t help but said.
“I’ve been away for more than 30 years, how do I know?” Cheng Huaying gave him a blank look, paused, and said again, “However, just look at the birth of newborns in the past two years. At least the Well of Reincarnation has not fallen. Bar.”
“Occupied? At least?” Xie Chang’an was shocked when he heard his words.
“How much do you know now?” Cheng Huaying asked in silence for a while.
“Not much.” Tang Xi said while dismantling the crab in his hand, “The Yin Qi leaked from the Jiuyou Mansion, the ghosts and ghosts that infested the Mansion, it was inevitable that the Yin Qi flowed into the world, and the ghost gate was closed. But waited until the Mansion was stranded. On the day when all of the souls go to reincarnation, and no newly dead ghosts enter the underworld, the six reincarnations are completely cut off, and the human world will be destroyed.”
Xie Changan gave her a surprised look.
“In addition to you, I also have my own sources.” Tang Xi smiled at him.
“It’s roughly the case, but the situation in the underworld may be much more severe than you think.” Cheng Huaying lowered his voice, and a serious expression appeared on his smiling face.
“How severe?” Xie Changan asked.
“Master Yan, he’s gone.” Cheng Huaying said.
“Cough cough cough…” Tang Xi couldn’t help being choked by the **** vinegar dipped in crab meat.
“Eat slowly, don’t worry.” Pei Qing handed her a glass of orange juice. When the plate was poured, a pile of peeled snow-white crab meat was poured into her bowl.
“I’m fine.” Tang Xi poured two bites of orange juice and waved.
“What do you mean by’Sir Yan Wang is gone?’ Your lord is so powerful… He has been sitting in the seat of Yan Wang for two thousand years!” Xie Changan said in shock.
“The vicious ghosts in the eighteenth **** were infested by Yin Qi, and even the ghosts became monsters, and the underworld was in chaos.” Cheng Huaying squeezed the wine glass and said heavily, “Master Yan wants to protect the last pure land of Samsara Well. , Incarnate as a seal, soul flies away, and I… he sent it to the world through the well of reincarnation with his last strength. The reincarnation of ghosts cannot retain the memories of the underworld, and the ability of a large person can only use the method of separate transmission to drill the loopholes in the heavens. The original plan was that the person who had the memory would search for the soul. This is very easy. However, no one thought that when entering the well of reincarnation, because of a mistake, this part of the memory would actually fall into a cat’s body—— Can you expect a cat to understand human memory?”
“This is really unlucky.” Tang Xi said sympathetically. But… it really is because the cat touched the sleeping memory after being the cat for a day. It can be regarded as… God’s will?
Cheng Huaying scratched her hair and said helplessly: “At that time, an infected ghost attacked the well of reincarnation. It was probably accidentally bumped into the chaos and threw my memory into the animal realm.”
“Then…sir?” Xie Changan trembled.
“Before I jumped into the Well of Reincarnation, the last thing I saw was the adult incarnation seal, rejecting all the Yin Qi and the infested ghosts from the seal.” Cheng Huaying said, “The soul in the Well of Reincarnation awaiting reincarnation will be protected. , And when there is no more soul beside the well of reincarnation, the seal will dissipate, and the entire underworld will completely become a lair of Yin Qi.”
“There was still a newborn born yesterday. Two days ago, the employees of our company asked for a hypothesis that they were pregnant and went for a maternity check-at least for now, Samsara Well is fine.” Pei Qingzhi said.
“But I don’t know how long it can last.” Cheng Huaying said irritably, “Especially the Reincarnation Well now has no ghosts garrisoned. It is all due to God’s spontaneous judgment of merits and demerits to enter the six realms, hoping that there will be no trouble.”
Pei Qingzhi and Tang Xi looked at each other, worrying too.
It is indeed a big problem that there are no ghosts guarding. If there is a ghost who has done evil in his lifetime, he will be judged to be a rat in the next life after he is punished in the underworld…Who would willingly jump into the animal realm?
“It’s useless to think so much.” Xie Chang’an stared at Cheng Huaying, “My lord sent you to the human world. Have you ever said, what can I do to save this catastrophe?”
“My lord said that in order to reopen the ghost gate, the raging Yin Qi must be sealed back to Jiuyou Dique before it can talk about rebuilding order.” Cheng Huaying said.
“That’s right, but how can such a huge Yin Qi be sealed back?” Xie Changan asked.
“This…” Cheng Huaying scratched her cheek, thinking hard.
“Seal.” Tang Xi discarded the crab shell, wiped her hands with a wet tissue, thoughtfully, “Forget about the method, the first thing to do is to meet a condition: Where does the power of the seal come from? Strength is not within human reach. Don’t tell me to seal the two of you.”
“No, the memory is too messy, wait for me to take care of it.” Cheng Huaying continued rubbing her temples, and then said for a long time. “My lord said, in fact, Jiuyou Dique originally had a seal left by the ancient power, but it was only a hundred. Fifty years ago, the seal was broken for unknown reasons, but the foundation is still there. There is no need to rebuild the seal. As long as the original seal is repaired, the difficulty should be directly reduced by dozens of levels.”
“Is there a pattern?” Tang Xi looked at him, her eyes burning.
Cheng Huaying was startled, then pointed to her head, helplessly: “I need time.”
“So, yes.” Tang Xi also smiled.
