Incense money from flower and bird shop

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Yu glanced at his watch, it was exactly 7 o'clock in the evening.The fiancée had already prepared a table of dishes, took photos and sent them.Zhou Yu smiled all over his face, and pressed the down button of the elevator while looking at his mobile phone, without feeling the abnormally quiet atmosphere in the company at all.

"Ding-dong-"

The bell of the elevator's arrival echoed on the quiet floor, and Zhou Yu walked in without noticing, watching the floor sign gradually go down.

On the 22nd floor, Xiao Congshuo and Ming Yan walked in one after the other.Zhou Yu frowned and looked at them, almost thinking that he was caught by these two mouthfuls.

The guy with strange powers and gods was followed.

Xiao Congshuo greeted him awkwardly: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Zhou Yu showed a polite smile, but didn't even answer, just wanted to leave quickly.

Ming Yan didn't speak from the beginning to the end, because he had already felt something strange when he was waiting for the elevator on the 22nd floor.When walking into the elevator, there was a seemingly nonexistent chill lingering around the body, and as the elevator descended, it became heavier and heavier.

Obviously, Xiao Congshuo also felt it, even the smile began to be unnatural.Only Zhou Yu was unaware, looking at his watch from time to time, waiting for the elevator to arrive at the garage.

At this moment, the sound of electric current suddenly sounded overhead, and the dim yellow lights flickered a few times before being completely extinguished.The elevator was plunged into darkness, only the floor keys scattered a faint red light.At some point, a button for the 18th floor appeared in the elevator.

Xiao Congshuo and Ming Yan had expected it a long time ago, and they were extremely calm, but Zhou Yu exclaimed: "Your company has 18 floors?"

"No." Ming Yan's words were too straightforward, cutting through all illusions like a blade.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly became angry: "You must have done it to cheat money!"

Ming Yan's words became more and more sharp, his voice was cold, completely opposite to usual: "So, in order to cheat some money, we changed the elevator for the building at our own expense?"

When Xiao Congshuo heard the tone, he guessed that he was angry.It was no wonder that Zhou Yu's attitude of treating them as liars was really annoying.

Ming Yan's words can't be refuted. In this situation, Zhou Yu can't find any reason to escape like an ostrich. He has to face a series of strange things that are coming.

The sound of nails scratching the iron sheet suddenly resounded above the head, each sound was sharper and harsher, which caused people to tremble all over.

Layers of goosebumps.Zhou Yu finally realized something, and instinctively followed the prestige——

The moment he raised his head, he kissed a bloodless face through a thin veil.Through this layer of veil, he could even clearly see that Li Gui's pupils were only the size of pinpoints.

When the fear reached the extreme, no screams could be heard, Zhou Yu's mind went blank, and his body couldn't control himself.

Hands as cold as ice gradually touched his face, and the sharp nails moved on the fragile flesh wounds, drawing bloodstains.

Ming Yan could no longer sit idly by, and there was a faint fire in his palm: "Stop now, you still have a chance to be reincarnated."

The elevator stops on the 19th floor, and it does not go up or down, nor does it open the door.The cold feeling went deep into the bone marrow, and Xiao Congshuo almost thought that ice had condensed in his bones.With the light of the fire ignited by Mingyan, he realized in horror that the ghost was perched on the top of the elevator, holding Zhou Yu's neck tightly in an upside-down posture.

Gradually, Zhou Yu felt that his feet were being lifted off the ground, and his cold hands were tightly locked around his neck like iron hoops.The breath in the nasal cavity became thinner, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and his limbs twitched uncontrollably.

"Come and stay with me—" Li Gui's grinning laughter echoed in the dark and silent elevator car, "I agreed to stay together forever!"

"Stubbornly obsessed!" While speaking, Ming Yan set fire to kill ghosts.

Seeing that the tongue of fire had already licked the pure white wedding dress, the ghost's laughter was not weak but strong, with a hint of madness.

The moment Li Gui was ignited by the fire, the entire elevator car was engulfed in flames, and the metal on the four walls curled up like paper, turning into fly ash and scattered.This time the fire was different from usual, the scorching heat rushed from all directions, and the huge mouth usually swallowed three people.

"Be careful!" Xiao Congshuo saw the splashing sparks coming from behind Ming Yan, before he had time to think, he threw him to the ground.

"Thank you." Ming Yan hurriedly thanked Xiao Congshuo, and then looked coldly at the ghost who was swallowed by the flames.

Thousands of calculations, Ming Yan did not count, the extra space on the 18th floor was constructed by Li Gui at his own expense.Therefore, once the ghosts are burned with fire, the space on the 18th floor will also disappear.And they who fell into another dimension will also disappear into this world as the ghosts' souls fly away.

Li Gui's body was broken, but he was still grinning grinningly, looking at Zhou Yu who had fallen to the ground and shouted hoarsely: "Die together! Die together!"

Ming Yan smiled contemptuously, and said almost sarcastically, "To die together?"

As soon as the words fell, the flames in his palm suddenly blazed, dazzling, like a sharp blade piercing the night, attracting a radiant light.

When daylight arrived, Xiao Congshuo and Zhou Yu instinctively blocked their eyes, not daring to look at Ming Yan's position.In the ear is the sound of howling ghosts, almost like the roar of wild animals.

Xiao Congshuo vaguely saw through his fingers that the ghost was completely engulfed by the flames and turned into a piece of flying ash, only the mournful cry still lingered in his ears.

In the next moment, the world fell into darkness again, without ghosts crying or howling, and there was no burning fire.

Xiao Congshuo looked around, only to see Ming Yan leaning against the elevator wall, and Zhou Yu sitting on the ground. The buttons on the 18th floor have completely disappeared, and the elevator is stuck between the 17th and 19th floors, unable to go up or down.

Xiao Congshuo noticed that Ming Yan was not in the right state, so he hurried over to help him: "How are you?"

Ming Yan closed his eyes and shook his head, indicating that Xiao Congshuo was fine, but suddenly fell to the ground leaning against the elevator wall.In Xiao Congshuo's memory, Ming Yan had never been defeated, and the scene in front of him terrified him: "What happened?"

Ming Yan suddenly opened his red eyes, held Xiao Congshuo's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "We've already come out, call for help."

His pupils are like the setting sun filled with crimson, mysterious and breathtaking.Xiao Congshuo was suddenly frightened, staring at Ming Yan dumbfounded.

"Hurry up." Ming Yan's voice revealed endless exhaustion.

Only then did Xiao Congshuo come to his senses, and dialed the number of the security personnel at the front desk.

The incident was finally classified as "elevator failure". The company personnel said that Xiao Congshuo's luck was really bad. He first hit Dong Qianying and committed suicide, and then he was trapped in the elevator.

Xiao Congshuo followed suit and took two weeks of paid leave.The department manager was reasonable and immediately signed for approval.

Mingyan's life is not so easy, he has been hiding in his room for three whole days, he doesn't go out, see people, or shop, the food is always prepared by Xiao Congshuo and delivered to him.

Zhu Li stood at the head of his bed, chattering non-stop: "Tell me about you, meddling in his affairs, and hurting myself."

Ming Yan lay sleepily on the bed with his eyes closed, ignoring the bird who could only speak human.

"I figured it out, this time I used up the incense that I had saved for a year to help him." Seeing Ming Yan ignoring himself, Zhu Li groaned angrily, "Your life depends on the incense to keep you alive. How can you bear it? In this day and age, no one enshrines divine beasts, do you dare not be so capricious?"

Yes, he is a god that has long been forgotten by mankind. If the incense does not continue, he will disappear completely.Mortals still have their souls after death, and they can still be reincarnated.Although there is no death in his ending, it seems more unacceptable than death if the bubble completely disappears.

"Enough." Ming Yan opened his red eyes, his tone contained loneliness and sullenness, "I know what I'm doing, and I also know what I should do in the future."

Zhu Li was very aggrieved, wanted to retort, but was afraid of poking Ming Yan's sore spot, so he flapped his wings twice to express his dissatisfaction, then turned and left.

Dabai squatted outside the door, saw Zhu Li come out, moved his three-petal mouth, and began to speak humanly: "Didn't you see that brother Ming Yan is not feeling well, and you also made him angry."

"What needs to be said has to be said." Zhu Li expressed his dissatisfaction, "We can't let him die because of that yin and yang eyes."

"Impossible." Dabai almost laughed when he heard his exaggeration, "Besides, Ming Yan is willing to do this, can you stop him?"

"I—" Zhu Li was tongue-tied, stunned for a long time, and then said, "Then I will drive him away!"

To this, Dabai only said two words: "Hehe."

While talking, Xiao Congshuo had already brought the dinner tray in, ignoring the two pets in front of the door.Zhu Li and Dabai stretched their necks and looked inside, peeping with confidence.

"Is it better today?" Xiao Congshuo looked at Ming Yan's eyes, it seemed that there was no sign of recovery, and they were still frighteningly red.

Ming Yan held the whitebait egg custard, slowly blew on the cooling air, and said while eating: "You light a few more sticks of incense, I will recover faster, if you can bring more people to light it together, I will recover faster .”

What happened this time made him realize that Ming Yan's spells, abilities, and even life are maintained by sporadic incense.Therefore, Ming Yan attaches great importance to incense, and every time he explains to customers that what he charges is incense money.

Xiao Congshuo looked at him with a frown, and when he was about to speak, Ming Yan robbed him: "Don't ask who I am again."

Don't ask, because it is destined to be forgotten.

Ming Yan occasionally thinks that when the day comes when he is completely forgotten, he will disappear quietly—it is much more dignified to disappear quietly than to linger on.

"I originally wanted to ask who you are, but I changed my mind before you stopped me." Xiao Congshuo smiled brightly, his eyes seemed to fall into stars, "I want to ask, what do you want to eat tonight."

Ming Yan laughed out loud, thought for a while, and said: "Scrambled eggs with tomato, boiled fish."

The two people inside were talking and laughing, while the rabbit and the bird outside the door were dumbfounded.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door downstairs, as if a guest had come to the door.Xiao Congshuo hurried down, and unexpectedly saw that the person who came to place it was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu, dressed in business attire, was incompatible with the old and simple flower and bird shop. He stood in front of the counter and looked around.

Xiao Congshuo didn't expect Zhou Yu to come: "Why is Mr. Zhou here?"

"I happened to be passing by on business, so I'll come to see you." Zhou Yu sat down in the back hall, smelling the sandalwood in the room, his heart gradually calmed down.This time, he took the initiative to mention Dong Qianying: "Now everyone is saying that Qianying committed suicide because I was engaged to someone else."

"Things are never as simple as they appear on the surface. The speculation of the uninformed always wears colored glasses. Mr. Zhou, don't take it to heart." Xiao Congshuo can say this because he understands that there is no right or wrong when it comes to feelings.

"She's a good girl, but it's a pity that she doesn't suit me." Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and sighed deeply, "I still remember that on the day when we decided to break up, she cried so much."

The outside world's discussion pressed Zhou Yu, but in just three or five days, Zhou Yu was deeply exhausted: "I didn't expect that she would be so crazy that she would commit suicide in the office. After she turned into a ghost, she almost scared my sister out of her mind."

"Your sister?" Xiao Congshuo suddenly thought of Zhou Qi who hadn't seen him for a long time, and asked in surprise, "Could it be Zhou Qi?"

If it was really as Xiao Congshuo guessed, then the reason why they were haunted by ghosts on the first night would be found.Dong Qianying dragged Zhou Qi to the non-existent 18th floor in order to avenge Zhou Yu, and Xiao Congshuo was the Chi Yu who was affected.

Zhou Yu nodded, and sighed again, mixed with guilt and remorse: "The night I got engaged, she sent me a text message."

"She said she would give me a gift on the night of my engagement, so that I will remember it all my life." Regarding the death of his ex-girlfriend, Zhou Yu was more heartbroken than anyone else. "I didn't expect this 'gift' to be the news of her suicide. She hanged herself at the place where we first met."

At that time, Dong Qianying had just joined the company, and Zhou Yu came to the company for the first time to negotiate a project. When they met for the first time, they were doomed to love and hate in the future.

"If I'm more careful, I have a chance to save her life."

Xiao Congshuo also felt sorry for the lost life, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Zhou Yu. For a while, the huge flower and bird shop fell into a depressive silence.

After a long time, Zhou Yu was the first to break the silence.Zhou Yu felt very guilty about his rude words and deeds a few days ago, "How is Ming Yan?"

Xiao Congshuo couldn't tell him the truth, so he just made up an excuse: "Biangui has a serious illness, and he will have to stay in bed for a while."

"Please convey my apologies." That day, Zhou Yu was overly frightened and didn't care about the changes in Ming Yan's eyes at all. He only knew that he was weakened due to exorcising ghosts. "If you need to arrange for a specialist to see a doctor, I can help you."

While talking, Zhou Yu took out a brown paper envelope and put it in front of Xiao Congshuo.

"It's not like this, it's good for Ming Yan to rest." Xiao Congshuo handed the envelope back to Zhou Yu, and only made one simple request, "If Mr. Zhou really wants to help Ming Yan, please stay Some incense money."

Zhou Yu thought for a while, and then handed the envelope to Xiao Congshuo: "Just use these to buy, it's also a little bit of my heart."

What Xiao Congshuo wants to get is this sentence, only if the devotee agrees personally, money can be counted as incense.He visually inspected the thickness of the envelope, and he was overjoyed—Ming Yan was saved.
