Chapter 55 The first kind of self-cultivation
Shen Heqing couldn't help but fell into silence, and after a while, he sighed: "Don't eat indiscriminately, be careful not to spoil your stomach."
Jiang Haiyan blinked: "It's a little difficult to make me eat my stomach..."
Shen Heqing: "..."
...Forget that this product is a glutton that can devour the world.
Xiao Xianyou walked a long way on his own, only to find that those two people were far behind at the end when he turned around, and he was shocked again. It was dark and windy this month, and there was no one around, but at this moment , A gust of cold wind suddenly blew by, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and hurriedly backed up to Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing, not daring to leave the team without authorization.
Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing didn't notice Xiao Xianyou's small movements, they were still chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that it didn't seem like they were near a haunted scene... Xiao Xianyou roared silently in his heart, ghost catcher Time to trouble you to catch ghosts seriously!Don't fall in love while catching ghosts!Falling in love at a haunted scene is so sorry for its terrifying atmosphere!
When the three of them reached the next intersection, they finally stopped a taxi and the taxi stopped. The driver looked at them vigilantly, especially Xiao Xianyou who was wearing women's clothes.
Xiao Xianyou lowered his head, afraid of being recognized by others, the driver stared at Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing for a long time, and seemed to be sure that they were not suspicious, so he opened the car door and let them come up.
After they got into the car, the driver sighed and said while driving: "Don't blame me for being suspicious. There have been a lot of strange things happening around here recently. We drivers don't dare to drive around here at night. There was a The driver was so courageous that he was not afraid of death, so he wanted to drive this way, but he ended up driving there..."
The driver suddenly shut up and stopped talking, but Xiao Xianyou was aroused by the driver's curiosity, and couldn't help pinching his throat and asking: "And then?"
The driver shook his head: "Oh! You won't believe me if I tell you!"
"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe you?" Xiao Xianyou continued to pinch his throat and act coquettishly, "Say it, let's listen to it, big brother~"
Jiang Haiyan couldn't help shaking the goose bumps on his body.
Xiao Xianyou's female attire was also pretty. The driver seemed to like it very much, so he said in a blissful voice: "Isn't there an artificial river ahead? The driver said that when he drove to the front , I saw a female water ghost crawling out of that artificial river! The female water ghost's hair is black and long, and she looks very beautiful, but her skin is pale and pale, and she crawled out of the water. The driver was scared out of his wits on the spot, and he drove back as fast as he could, but fortunately the female ghost didn't catch up, but the driver was scared to death, and said that he would never come to this area again."
The driver spoke vividly, as if he was on the scene, Xiao Xianyou couldn't help shaking a few times, and then silently hugged his arms.
Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows, and asked the driver, "Is there an artificial river in front?"
"Yes," the driver said, "isn't there a film and television city near here? There are several artificial lakes in the film and television city. It is too troublesome to transport water from other places, so we built an artificial river to divert water there."
"The artificial lake in the film and television city is connected to the artificial river outside?" Jiang Haiyan rubbed his chin and asked again.
The driver shook his head: "I don't know about that."
Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing looked at each other, and Shen Heqing nodded.
Since the artificial lake in the film and television city is connected to an artificial river that leads directly outside, the black-scaled merman probably escaped through this. Is it the black scale merman who came out?Including the ghost-hitting passenger that the driver mentioned before, it is estimated that he also encountered the black scale shark who came out in the middle of the night.
Zheng Youqian's residence is not too far away, it's in a villa area on the outskirts of the city. After the three of them got off the car, they arrived within a short distance.
After Xiao Xianyou rang the doorbell, it was Zheng Yougan himself who opened the door.
Zheng Youqian was wearing a bathrobe, and his expression was a little tired. He was completely different from the previous professional elite fan. After seeing Xiao Xianyou, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Only then did Xiao Xianyou suddenly remember that he hadn't had time to change back the women's clothes on his body. Just now, he was blinded by the pair of men and women next to him, and he forgot that he was still wearing the women's clothes!
He gave a dry laugh, and hurriedly explained: "I was afraid that those paparazzi would recognize me, so I dressed like this on purpose... It's definitely not a womanizer or something. I would never dress like this normally, really." Then he tried hard Put on a sincere expression.
Looking at Xiao Xianyou's sincere eyes, Zheng Youqian nodded, and then looked at Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing behind Xiao Xianyou, his eyes were somewhat probing, apparently surprised by the ages of Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing, But he nodded after a while: "Let's talk first."
The three of them followed Zheng Youqian into the house. Zheng Youqian was worthy of being a top wealthy family. The decoration design in the house was full of luxury and grandeur. The living room alone was as big as the whole house of an ordinary person.
Zheng Youqian led the three of them into the house and asked them to sit down on the sofa: "Sit down, would you like something to drink?"
Xiao Xianyou said politely: "No need."
Jiang Haiyan asked with a smile, "What do you want to drink?"
Zheng You gave a meal and replied, "Wine, coffee or tea."
"Do you have Lafite from 82?" Jiang Haiyan asked enthusiastically.
Zheng Youqian: "...No."
Jiang Haiyan immediately looked disappointed. He thought that a rich man like Zheng Youqian must have the legendary 82-year-old Lafite in his family. He sighed: "Then Sprite."
Zheng Youqian: "There is no Sprite either."
"What about Coke?" Jiang Haiyan blinked.
Zheng Youqian said flatly: "Only wine, coffee or tea."
"Then let's drink tea," Jiang Haiyan continued to ask, "By the way, is there anything to eat?"
Zheng You paused for a moment, and said politely, "There are snacks from others."
Jiang Haiyan was not polite: "Then let's have some."
Xiao Xianyou was frightened by Jiang Haiyan's shamelessness, and he was afraid that Zheng Youqian would blow his hair, but Zheng Youqian was obviously more reserved than he imagined, so he nodded and turned to enter the kitchen.
"Master, why are you so..." Xiao Xianyou asked Jiang Haiyan with twitching corners of his mouth, but he hesitated for a while, and he still didn't say the word "shameless".
Jiang Haiyan stretched out an index finger and shook it: "You don't know that. Finding someone to exorcise ghosts is not an easy job. I want to see his sincerity and let him know that this matter can't be done casually." Yes, it’s like asking someone to tell a fortune teller, there are three hexagrams a day, and you have to charge a lot of money, that’s the reason.”
Xiao Xianyou seemed to understand but half understood: "So that's how it is."
Jiang Haiyan smiled slightly: "Dead wood can be carved."
Shen Heqing at the side: "..." That guy is obviously just hungry.
After a while, Zheng Youqian came out with a plate of dim sum and a pot of tea. The plate of dim sum looked like a high-end product, and it looked so delicate that Jiang Haiyan was salivating from a distance.
After Zheng Youqian poured a cup of tea for each of the three, he also sat down on the sofa.
Jiang Haiyan was not polite at all, he picked up the dim sum and ate it right away. This dim sum is indeed a high-end product, not only looks delicious, but also tastes good. He ate four or five times in a row before finally thinking about the business, and looked at Zheng Youqian: " What are you looking for us for?"
Zheng Youqian looked at Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing, hesitantly asked: "Are you the two masters that Xiao Xianyou knew?"
Jiang Haiyan smiled slightly, with an unfathomable expression on his face: "That depends on whether you believe it or not. You believe it or not." It's a pity that his slightly puffed cheeks completely destroyed this unfathomable.
Zheng Youqian was silent for a while, and finally said: "Let me just trust you for a while, if you are liars, don't blame me for sending you to the place you should go."
Jiang Haiyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Then tell me the whole story first."
Zheng Youqian was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "That was a few weeks ago..."
A few weeks ago, as the future heir of the Zheng Group, Zheng Youqian was recently taking over a company at home. He left early and returned late every day. He was so busy that he hadn't cleaned up his house for several days. He doesn't like other people coming in and out of his house. In the past, he only invited part-time workers to visit once a month, so his house was very messy in those days, especially his room.
Zheng Youqian originally planned to invite part-time workers to come over on weekends, but one night when he came home from work, he was surprised to find that the messy living room had been tidied up, everything was neatly arranged, everything was in order, and the floor He was also dragged clean. This home was completely different from the one he saw before going to work in the morning.
What surprised Zheng Youqian even more was that his clothes that were littered all over the house had also been stuffed into the washing machine and dried on the balcony. Those clothes that had been drying on the balcony for several days before were not collected in time. He was taken away, neatly folded and put into his closet, and on the dining table in the living room, there was actually a sumptuous dinner with four dishes and one soup.
After he returned to his room, he immediately found that his room had also been cleaned, the documents that had been thrown around were neatly arranged, and the sheets on the bed seemed to have been taken out to dry, and it smelled A smell of sunshine.
At the beginning, Zheng Youqian thought it was his mother coming, so he helped him clean up after seeing him, but this thought only flashed in his mind, and soon disappeared, his mother is a very rich daughter Miss, since I was young, my ten fingers have never touched the spring water, so how could I help him with housework?
But he still made a phone call to make sure, and his mother on the other end of the phone denied it.
Zheng Youqian returned to the living room in doubt, and then he found that the dishes on the dining table were still hot, and the cook seemed to have not been away for a long time, so he picked up his mobile phone and called each person he thought might be possible, after excluding all After the possibility, he thought of another possibility—could it be that a thief broke in?
Although the possibility that the thief broke in and stole his things and helped him with housework and cooking because of a disturbed conscience was a bit ridiculous, it was not impossible... With this in mind, he went back to the room , went to check the safe where he kept his passbook and cash, but he found that he had nothing missing.
The money and passbook in the safe are still there, and some valuable things in the living room and other rooms are not lost. Zheng Youqian is once again in doubt... Who did these things?
Zheng Youqian is a staunch materialist, but in this situation, he still can't help thinking about the haunting. If it wasn't a ghost, who else could have sneaked into his heavily guarded house?
Of course, Zheng Youqian didn't dare to eat the dishes at the table. Who knows whether the person who cooks the dishes is a human or a ghost. It's a ghost, who knows what ghosts will cook with?
Zheng Youqian dumped all the dishes on the table into the trash can, then made a phone call and asked someone to come and change the lock.
After changing the lock, he finally felt relieved.
As a result, when Zheng Youqian got home from get off work the next day, he found another table with a table of sumptuous dishes, and the dishes were different from yesterday's. Yesterday was seafood, but today was a table of river fresh food.
He had experienced many things, but he was also terrified. He didn't expect that person to sneak in after he changed the lock!
...Maybe that person stayed in his house all night after all!So changing the lock is useless at all!
Zheng Youqian shuddered at the thought that the person might still be in his house. He quickly picked up golf clubs and searched room by room, but after searching the whole house, he found nothing.
That night, he couldn't sleep.
The next morning, he specifically called a security guard to patrol the neighborhood of his home.
After Zheng Yougan got off work that day, he first asked the security guard if there was anything unusual, but the security guard shook his head and said nothing.
He was relieved a bit, but when he returned home, he saw that there was another sumptuous meal on the dining table, which was still completely different from the previous two days, and there was actually a small note next to it, with a line written crookedly on it. The words—"Why don't you eat the dishes I cook? Don't you like these?" The font is very childish, just like a child's words.
However, Zheng Youqian was so frightened by this line of words like a primary school student that his spine shivered. When he calmed down, he immediately began to think about whether he had offended anyone during this period. In the business field, he rarely took the initiative to make enemies, but Zheng Youqian It's hard to say that the family tree is so popular; in his private life, he has always kept himself clean and dedicated...
"A child... Could it be an infant spirit?" Hearing this, Xiao Xianyou couldn't help interjecting. A few romantic accidents...
Zheng Youqian said with a straight face: "Impossible."
"Oh, why is it impossible?" Jiang Haiyan finished eating the high-end dim sum, then took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started to chew.
The corners of Zheng Youqian's lips trembled a few times, and after a while, he said coldly, "Because I don't like women."
Xiao Xianyou: "..."
Fuck, he seems to have accidentally learned some little secret that he shouldn't know.
Wait, why did he say again?
Jiang Haiyan was not surprised at all, he nodded calmly: "And then?"
"I like men," Zheng Youqian was silent for a while, and then continued, "I am very specific about relationships. I only date one person at a time. During the relationship, I will never cheat or cheat. Every relationship ends with a peaceful breakup. After the breakup I will also compensate the other party accordingly, and I don't think I will offend anyone in this regard."
He analyzed calmly, as if he were just a bystander.
"What about after that?" Jiang Haiyan asked while eating melon seeds.
Zheng You paused and continued.
After discovering the note, Zheng Youqian suddenly had a thought in his heart, if he ate those vegetables, that person...or non-human, would he not come to pester him again?
With this in mind, he plucked up the courage to eat those few dishes. The taste of those dishes was average, but the taste was too salty. The person who cooked the dishes probably put a lot of salt, but he still had the courage to eat those dishes. The table dishes are finished.
"And then?" Xiao Xianyou couldn't help asking.
Zheng Youqian was silent for a long time with a solemn expression, and then he continued: "When I got home the next day, I found that the dining table was still full of dishes, and the dishes were exactly the same as the night before. There was also a small table on the dining table. A note with the words 'So you like to eat these dishes, then I will cook these for you every day from now on.'”
Xiao Xianyou: "..."
Of course, Zheng Youqian couldn't let someone who he didn't know who came to his house every day to clean up his house, wash his clothes and cook for him. This feeling of his private space being invaded by strangers made him very uncomfortable, so he finally couldn't bear it anymore. I left a word next to the note, telling that person not to come again, otherwise he will call the police.
Then he installed a camera in his house, trying to catch the bastard who broke into his house without permission.
I don't know if his warning worked. When he went home the next day, he found that everything was normal. When he checked the surveillance, there was no suspicious person in the camera.
Everything seemed to be back to normal, and the matter would have ended here, but before Zheng Youqian could breathe a sigh of relief, something happened to a play he invested in.
The supernatural incidents began to happen in the crew of the play he invested in. At first, it was just minor things like messed up dressing room, damaged props, lost costumes, etc. But gradually the incidents began to escalate. He fell and broke a bone, and then even the leading actor in the crew also fell down the stairs for no reason...
After knowing that Xiao Xianyou fell down the stairs inexplicably, Zheng Youqian finally couldn't hold back. At this moment, he heard from others that Xiao Xianyou knew two very powerful masters, so he had the attitude of giving it a try. Contact Xiao Xianyou.
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Xianyou was a little stunned. He didn't expect that all this was because Zheng Youqian refused (?) the courtship of a female ghost, he was completely lying on the gun!
Jiang Haiyan, a melon eater at the side, raised his hand: "I have a question."
"what is the problem?"
Jiang Haiyan blinked: "Since that person was so kind to you at the beginning, and even helped you clean the house, wash and cook, just like a snail girl, why did he suddenly go to the crew you invested in and make trouble for you? This painting Did the wind change too suddenly? Did you miss something in the middle?"
Zheng Yougan said with a stern face: "Of course it's because of it... I became angry from embarrassment."
Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows: "Just because you wrote a small note? Isn't that a bit unconvincing?"
Zheng Youqian folded his hands on his chest, with a slightly cold expression: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Jiang Haiyan shrugged: "Well, since you don't believe our business level, there is nothing you can do, let's cooperate next time."
Xiao Xianyou's expression was a bit dazed: "Wait! What's wrong?" How could the cooperation be terminated after a disagreement?
Zheng Youqian was silent for a while, and then sneered: "You are really liars, after listening to me for so long, but found nothing, I don't need to cooperate with you charlatans."
"Zheng, Zheng Shao! Don't be impulsive!" Xiao Xianyou stood up nervously, "I guarantee that they are definitely not liars!"
"Who said we didn't find it?" Jiang Haiyan turned to look at Shen Heqing who was silent for a long time, "Did you find anything?"
Shen He said calmly: "There is no smell of evil spirits in this house."
Jiang Haiyan turned his head, looked at Zheng Youqian, stroked his chin and said, "He said that there is no smell of evil spirits in this house, but I can smell a fishy smell in your house...and it belongs to the fishy smell of the sea."
Zheng Youqian's face suddenly changed.
"Fish, fishy smell?" Xiao Xianyou looked bewildered, "Why is there a fishy smell..."
Jiang Haiyan looked at Zheng Yougan and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The person who sneaked into your house illegally... Oh no, it's not a person, it's not a person at all, and of course it's not a ghost, but a fish."
"A fish?" Xiao Xianyou was dumbfounded, "Will the fish come ashore?"
"Of course fish won't go ashore," Jiang Haiyan smiled, "but...mermaids can go ashore."
"Mermaid?" Xiao Xianyou was even more stunned, "Isn't a mermaid a legendary creature? Could there really be a mermaid in this world?"
Jiang Haiyan patted Xiao Xianyou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "There are even ghosts in this world... haven't you seen it before? Is it strange that there are mermaids?"
Xiao Xianyou had a dreamy expression of his world view being shattered again.
Zheng You had a straight face and pursed his lips. After a while, he closed his eyes and sighed: "...That's right."
"It's not a ghost, it's a...mermaid."
Xiao Xianyou was stunned: "Mermaid... so there are really mermaids in this world..."
"That's right, there are really mermaids in this world." Zheng Youqian opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Xianyou fixedly, "But they are not as beautiful as described in fairy tales! They are bloodthirsty, cruel, vicious, and they are A butcher is a devil and an executioner!"
