Chapter 41
Zhou Du's car was still parked in front of Chen's house, so he drove Chen's car back.
Zhou Du was driving, Li Yang was sitting in the passenger seat, and the three members of the Chen family were sitting in the back seat, not daring to make a sound.
After returning to Zhou Du's car, Li Yangan huddled quietly in the passenger seat. He was wearing a grey turtleneck sweater today, with his chin buried in the collar and his eyes drooping slightly, a sign that he was about to fall asleep.
Zhou Du turned up the temperature of the air conditioning and heating in the car.
When they returned to the kindergarten, Zhou Du took out a mobile phone from his room and handed it to him in the corridor on the third floor. "This is my spare phone. You can use it for a few days. I will take you to get it repaired or buy you a new one later."
Li Yang took it and said, "Thank you. I'll fix it myself tomorrow."
Zhou Du had no objection.
When he turned to go back to his room, Li Yang called him: "Can you teach me this move?" He raised his hand, slightly spread his fingers, and imitated Zhou Du's action of opening the golden cover.
The man was half a head taller than him. He lowered his head slightly at this moment, his dark eyes showing a little unruly. He said slowly: "This is difficult. If you can get full A grades in the final exam of the kindergarten, I can consider it."
Li Yang did not refute, but just asked again: "What about the trick of making the paper man spontaneously combust?"
Zhou Du looked at his hands.
“You can’t learn it.”
Li Yang narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"My hands are too small." Zhou Du explained.
Li Yang: “?”
Almost subconsciously, she spread her palms in front of him with some dissatisfaction, "Little?"
Zhou Du directly made a gesture and showed it to him.
Li Yang followed suit and pinched his fingers, but ended up with his fingers fighting each other.
His knuckles were long and slender, but when he made this gesture, two or three of his fingers could not touch each other.
He refused to believe it and insisted on bending his finger.
So Zhou Du couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he reached out and helped him put those fingertips together.
In an instant, a small flame jumped out from Li Yang's fingertips, leaping into the air, about ten centimeters high.
There is fire, but...
Zhou Du: "It's fine if you're willing to let me assist you like this every time."
The man's exceptionally cool fingertips pressed against his fingertips, and the two people's slightly different skin colors collided together. His was a cold white tone, while the man's was darker, with slightly floating finger bones and veins.
The fingertips felt a temperature that clearly did not belong to them. It was a little... weird? But, he was not so opposed to this intimate touch.
Li Yang's heart moved and he withdrew his hand, and the flame went out instantly.
Zhou Du also lowered his hands, and the faint warm light from the corridor ceiling lamp spread over his facial features.
Both of them looked as if nothing had happened. Li Yang took a step back and said, "I'm going back to sleep."
"good evening."
Li Yang turned around, entered the room and closed the door.
After taking a shower, he changed his SIM card and logged into WeChat. The old Taoist priest and his apprentice sent him emoticons to say hello, Wu Lai sent him a message of thanks, and Jin Youqian still harassed him from time to time.
Li Yang didn't have time to reply because Yu Shuang sent him 99+ messages like crazy.

Underworld.
The channel for the living impermanence to complete their tasks in the human world is a formation, and there is a special transmission room in the underworld.
At first, no one paid attention to this disaster.
It's just a matter of seconds for a few ghosts to be teleported to the underworld.
Until they piled up one by one and filled up the teleportation room. The passage had not yet been fully cleared by ghosts, and many of them were stuck halfway and unable to get down.
Most of the ghosts who come to the underworld are confused: Who am I and where am I?
Many of them know nothing about anything.
The registrar in the transport room opened the door wide and notified the leader to send in more ghost hands.
In the group chats of the Huo Wuchang colleagues from Group 1 to Group 4, all of them were -
Who is the origin of Li Yang in this group of five? Could he be the son of the underworld? !
Can I file a complaint against him for falsifying data? But how did he falsify it?!

Answered Yu Shuang's call.
"You've been stirring up trouble again?!"
Li Yang briefly recounted what happened tonight, and then shared his findings: "It seems that it is much easier for evil cultivators to catch ghosts than for us. They can catch dozens or hundreds of them at a time. So can I..."
Specifically targeting these evil cultivators?
Yu Shuang: ...
These four words "once and for all" have made it clear to you, right?
People work hard to do bad things just to get you caught in the act.
"It's not impossible for you to keep an eye on the evil cultivators, but you have to be careful because humans are more difficult to deal with than ghosts."
"Um."
After talking about random things, Yu Shuang picked up the purpose of this call and asked excitedly: "Do you know how much your sales tonight are?"
Li Yang was counting as he pinched the insects: "About four hundred and one?"
"Four hundred and twenty-seven! The points haven't been counted yet, but I estimate it's at least two hundred thousand!!"
This is still a modest estimate. In fact, she thinks that three hundred thousand is not out of the question.
This time we are definitely number one in the region, and we will be proud of this year’s annual meeting!
So you can't blame her for being so excited, she has never had such a proud moment before!
"Oh." The young man said calmly, "I remember that the person who ranks first in the quarter will be given a big gift package by the underworld. Can I choose the gift myself? My phone is broken."
"I will, I will, but the underworld is so busy right now. When registering your hundreds of vengeful spirits, some are unclear and some are unknown. They have to check each one in the Past Life Mirror. The archives department is so exhausted that they can only transfer staff from other departments. So they may not have time to take care of these things. In addition, the quarterly settlement is not that fast. But I will give you a big gift package personally!"
"Besides the cell phone, do you want any other reward, Yangyang baby?" Yu Shuang asked happily and kindly, holding the cell phone in her hand.
Li Yang frowned and held the phone away.
"Tell the people below to make the passage to the underworld permanent. I will close it myself if I want."
"Okay!" Yu Shuang agreed.
"Oh, right." Yu Shuang informed him: "Did you see the announcement at noon today? The regularization exam will be held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year."
Li Yang hasn't looked at it yet. The APP is under maintenance now.
Yu Shuang said earnestly: "Although you are definitely qualified for the exam with your current ranking, you can't relax. What if you are squeezed out..." It's unlikely that you will be squeezed out, but "the top ten in points will get extra points in the final statistics. The higher the ranking, the higher the extra points."
"knew."
After hanging up the call, Li Yang went to take a shower.
When I squeezed shampoo to wash my hair, my fingertips brushed across my forehead. For some reason, I remembered the touch of Zhou Du's fingertips.
A slight electric current rushed from the corner of my forehead to the top of my head, and a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.
Li Yang closed his eyes.
…

Li Yang had a dream.
I dreamed that I was standing on a meadow, and not far away there was a flourishing banyan tree with red cards hanging all over it, with tassels falling down.
He walked closer instinctively, and the big banyan tree suddenly turned into a five or six-year-old girl with two bun-like buns.
She was wearing a white skirt with a light green gradient, which was fair, tender, delicate and cute, very clean and clear. She was a little fat, but her flesh was solid, and she looked very blessed.
The little girl ran to his legs, tilted her round face up, and looked at him with her big black eyes, sparkling.
"Brother, I'm Xiao Rong."
Li Yang recognized that this was the wishing tree at Kangnan Primary School.
I just didn't expect that she would become a spirit.
Moreover, after hundreds of years, the human form that was created is still very young.
It is more difficult for plants and trees to become spirits than expected.
Li Yang squatted down and looked at her with a calm gaze: "How did you get in?" He now attended two classes and understood the situation in the kindergarten. It was forbidden for ordinary elves, demons and monsters to enter the kindergarten.
The girl looked very happy and said in a clear voice, "It was #%#￥God who asked me to come!"
Li Yang couldn't hear the name clearly, as if it was automatically blurred.
She continued: "There were bad guys who hurt me, but you, my brother, saved me."
Li Yang knew that if the jar was buried for another ten days or half a month, the roots of the banyan tree would be completely eaten away, and all the cultivation efforts would be wasted.
He didn't ask her why she didn't think of a way to protect herself. The book said that it was very difficult for these creatures to cultivate, and since they had never been born, most of them had no ability to protect themselves when they encountered humans with evil intentions.
"I almost died, so I have to thank my brother."
After saying this, she clenched her small hands against her chest, puffed up her little face, and held her breath, while her white and green sleeves fluttered in the wind.
Slowly, a golden dot gathered from between her hands, getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a big golden ball.
"What is this?" Li Yang asked.
The little girl put the golden ball into Li Yang's body. Li Yang felt that his meridians were being washed and nourished by dozens of warm currents, making him feel extremely clear.
After giving out the golden ball, Xiao Rong wiped her forehead, exhaled a breath, and said: "It's merit, the merit of the tree spirit. I have accumulated it for a long time." After she has done her best to help all the students who have made a wish, there will be golden light of merit for her.
Li Yang had no obvious likes or dislikes for people or things, but he felt very comfortable with her. I guess the reason might be that she herself was a little god wrapped in good wishes.
Before he could say anything else, the dream slowly faded, and the girl said her last words as it faded: "I have repaid you, and now I am leaving, brother. I wish you good fortune and success."
The dream ended, Li Yang opened his eyes, and the alarm clock rang at this moment.
He finished washing up and walked out of the room. It was still dark, but he could see a ray of light coming through the crack at the bottom of the room opposite.
Li Yang knocked and the door opened. As expected, Zhou Du was still awake. He wore a pair of thin black framed glasses on his nose. His eyelids were slightly closed behind the lenses, making him look particularly deep and dark, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.
Li Yang told the dream he had just had and asked, "What is the use of merit? Who is that god?"
"Lucky bonus." Zhou Du lowered his eyelashes, as if thinking for a moment, "He must be the gatekeeper of the kindergarten."
"..." Li Yang suspected that he was being perfunctory, but without evidence, he could only return to the topic: "What if she gave me her merits?"
Zhou Du smiled and said, "I can only keep saving."
Li Yang knew that this thing was a gift. If she gave it to him, she would have nothing left.
"I'll give it back to her."
"No need, it's time to go back. When you do good things in the future, you can remember her kindness and dedicate it to her, which will also be considered a merit."
Zhou Du said so, Li Yang thought about it and decided to just let it go.
"Besides this, is there anything else I can do to help her? For example, cultivate to become an immortal?"
He thought she was also a little deity. Since the living have non-staff members, then gods should also have non-staff members. It should be possible for her to work hard and pass the civil service exam.
Zhou Du: "Well, she is in the early stage of ascension. How about you help her save some lightning resistance pills before she ascends?"
Although he didn't know if there was such a pill, Li Yang quickly agreed: "Okay."
After thinking about the preparation time of the elixir, he asked again: "When will she ascend? Can you calculate it?"
Zhou Du quickly made a divination, calculated with his left hand, and then said, "About 345 years later."
Li Yang: “…”
He began to suspect that all the conversations this early in the morning were just the man's nonsense after a sleepless night.
