Chapter 84 Monster
After finally digesting this explosive information, Lu Yi remembered another question: "Grandpa, why did you move here? This place..."
"Oh, you mean this neighborhood?"
Lu Qiming resumed his childish demeanor: "Isn't this an employee benefit provided by our partner company? They say it makes it easier to contact us for work.
This place also has excellent feng shui and abundant spiritual energy, making it especially suitable for retired comrades like me to enjoy a long and healthy life! The square dance team downstairs is also very good, and the lead dancer, the old lady, is particularly elegant!
Lu Yi: “…”
The last sentence is the key point!
Gu Yuan, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke in a low voice with a hint of curiosity: "Grandpa Lu, so you are a Taoist master?"
Lu Qiming waved his hands, very modestly: "I can't say I'm a master, I just know a few more talismans than ordinary people and have a few more ghost messenger friends.
He is no match for yours. He was a great celestial master when he was alive, and a ghost king who dominated the area after his death. Now he is a high-level ghost messenger. He is very powerful! "
Gu Yuan smiled sheepishly: "That's really amazing."
His tone was full of pride and sweetness.
Lu Yi looked at Gu Yuan and suddenly remembered something: "Gu Yuan, you... have you also known about these supernatural things for a long time?"
Before Gu Yuan could answer, Lu Qiming answered, "Oh, little Gu! He was taught by Ji Yunzhou himself, and he got the true teachings... I don't know how good he is, but he's even better than your grandfather!"
Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Grandpa Lu, please stop making fun of me. I just learned some basic self-defense skills from Yun Zhou."
One should be humble.
Lu Yi was completely convinced.
Well, it turns out there are many hidden talents around him!
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say."
Lu Qiming stood up and stretched. "My dear grandson, since you're here, don't rush back. Come up and sit down. Grandpa will show you how to cook two delicious dishes! Come along, Xiao Gu! Let him taste Grandpa's cooking skills!"
Gu Yuan waved his hands quickly: "No, no, Grandpa Lu, it's getting late, I should go back..."
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and walked aside to answer the phone.
"...Yeah, I ran into a classmate... No one, just Lu Yi, you know him... Oh, it really was just a game of chess... I wasn't fooled... You're the fool... Okay, okay, I'll be right back..."
Although I couldn't hear the specific content, I could hear the intimacy and familiarity in the tone, as well as the other party's obvious possessiveness.
Grandpa Lu and Lu Yi looked at each other and shook their heads.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan's face was a little red: "Grandpa Lu, Lu Yi, I really have to go, Ji Yunzhou is back."
Lu Qiming laughed heartily: "I understand! I understand! Go back quickly, Xiao Gu."
Gu Yuan said goodbye to them with a smile, then turned and walked towards another building.
Lu Yi looked at Gu Yuan's leaving figure and murmured to himself: "...So their family also lives in this community?"
Lu Qiming put his arm around his grandson's shoulders and led him to the door of his apartment building: "What else? Why do you think this community has so much spiritual energy?
That's the nest Ji Yunzhou personally chose! Otherwise, could the partner company allocate it to me as a staff dormitory? It's easier to communicate because it's close to the water!
Let’s go, let’s go home and have dinner! Today is really a double happiness, I got to see my darling grandson and beat little Gu in eight games of chess! Hahahaha!”
Lu Yi was dragged away by his grandfather, with only one thought in his mind: This world is really magical.
He needs a good meal to calm down.
Let me have a meal with grandpa first!
On the other side, just as Gu Yuan took out the key and opened the door, he was pulled in by a hand and fell into a slightly cool but firm embrace.
"Playing chess? Huh? Going to play with Old Man Lu again?"
Ji Yunzhou's low, pleasant, yet distinctly sour voice rang out above him:
"Why is that kid Lu Yi here too? Are they teaming up to kidnap my people?"
Gu Yuan laughed and patted his hand: "What are you thinking! It was just a coincidence that I ran into Grandpa Lu downstairs. I was free anyway, so I played a few games of chess.
Then Lu Yi happened to come to see his grandfather for something, and that's how they ran into each other."
Ji Yunzhou let go of him and narrowed his handsome yet sharp eyes: "That old fox Lu Qiming? What did he tell you?"
"He talked about... the cooperation between the Yinsi and Longhushan, and..."
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Tell me not to worry too much about you, and say you are a legitimate ghost messenger."
Ji Yunzhou snorted lightly, his tone arrogant: "He is sensible and can speak human language. What else?"
"It's just to tell that kid Lu Yi to be more sensible and not to provoke you casually. He said that you are very powerful and not someone that ordinary people can afford to mess with." Gu Yuan repeated while suppressing his laughter.
"Oh."
Ji Yunzhou curled his lips in disdain: "He'd better listen to his grandfather. What's so great about being a gym student? What's so great about having a lot of muscles?"
As he spoke, his slender fingers gently pinched Gu Yuan's cheek: "Next time, you are not allowed to play chess with others for so long, even an old man."
Gu Yuan felt sweet inside, but he deliberately said, "Oh? Then how about playing chess with a ghost?"
Ji Yunzhou moved closer dangerously: "What do you think?"
Gu Yuan blushed and quickly pushed him away: "You...what do you want to do? You want to fight?"
He waved his fist in a bluffing manner, which had little deterrent effect.
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, took his wrist and chuckled, "Fight? If you win, you'll say I bullied you, but if you lose, it'll be even more embarrassing. I won't fight. I can't bear it."
He picked up Gu Yuan and said, "If you have that much time, why not give my Yuan Yuan more guidance in her cultivation?"
"Ji Yunzhou! Put me down! It's not even dark yet!"
"The key to spiritual practice is diligence, day and night."
“…”
On the other side, Lu Yi and Lu Qiming were already sitting at the dinner table.
The old man’s cooking skills are really good, and he can make simple home-cooked dishes that are both delicious and flavourful.
After taking a few mouthfuls of hot food, Lu Yi's frightened mood finally calmed down a lot.
As he was eating, he suddenly remembered the last dinner. He put down his chopsticks and his expression became a little serious:
"Grandpa, I want to ask you about someone. Do you...know a woman named Lin Xiaoqian? She's about thirty years old, quite pretty, and she runs a famous private restaurant over on A Street."
Lu Qiming was happily slurping on a piece of braised pork ribs. Upon hearing this, he paused in his action of picking up the food, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
But he feigned confusion, chewing his meat and mumbling, "Lin Xiaoqian? I've never heard of her. What's the matter? Are you attracted to the boss lady?"
He tried to change the subject with a joke.
"Grandpa! Seriously!"
Lu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm telling you something serious! I went to her restaurant for dinner a few days ago, and her restaurant... felt really wrong!"
He leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "As soon as I walked in, I felt a sense of... well, I wonder... is there some kind of... monster hidden in her shop?"
Lu Qiming: “…”
He silently put down the ribs, feeling mixed emotions.
Well, what kind of weird physique does this grandson have?
When I was in school, my classmate was the wife of the Ghost King. How could I have accidentally stumbled into the lair of a snake demon while having a meal?
And this silly boy could actually sense that something was wrong?
Alas, the great snake demon recognized your soul hundreds of years ago!
The old man's heart was in turmoil, but his face was as calm as a rock, and he even showed a bit of solemnity:
"Oh? Is this true? Is the demonic aura so strong?"
An expression of great importance.
"Yeah! It's really heavy! I feel like there's definitely something wrong!"
Seeing that his grandfather believed him, Lu Yi immediately emphasized, "Tell me, do you want to check it out? Don't you know... the relevant departments? Or maybe you can go and take a look yourself?"
Lu Qiming looked at his grandson's serious expression, as if he had discovered an important clue and was about to praise me, and he almost laughed out loud.
But the show still has to be done well.
He cleared his throat and nodded seriously, "Hearing what you said, it is indeed suspicious and cannot be ignored. Monsters lurking in the city are a hidden danger after all."
He paused, then made the decision, "Well, tomorrow! I'll personally go to that store tomorrow and investigate thoroughly! I'll find out who's behind this trick!"
"Really? That's great!"
Lu Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately felt relieved.
With Grandpa there, everything will be safe. "Then be careful when you go tomorrow. Do you need me to go with you?"
“No, no!”
Lu Qiming waved his hand quickly: "If you go, you will only alert the enemy. I am alone, so it is convenient for me to act according to the situation. Let's eat!"
"good!"
Lu Yi was completely relieved. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating again, his heart full of anticipation for solving the mystery.
Mr. Lu opposite lowered his head and used the action of picking up food to hide the complicated and strange smile on his face.
Silly grandson, of course Lin Xiaoqian is a demon, and a giant snake demon with great skills.
But he is a good demon who has a legal residence permit and business license, is registered with the relevant departments, pays taxes and management fees on time, strictly abides by the "Regulations on the Coexistence of Humans and Demons", and has not hurt anyone for hundreds of years.
and……
Lu Qiming glanced at his grandson who was eating happily across from him, and complained silently in his heart:
What’s more, you were their savior hundreds of years ago!
It seems that tomorrow's investigation will become a reunion with old friends, and I will also help my silly grandson clean up his mess.
What is going on?
The old man sighed inwardly and took a big bite of the ribs.
