not scary story

Chapter 75

July [-]th, Ghost Festival.

For the ancient city of G, this day has always been an inappropriate day for all things. If there are taboos, they simply don't get married, open a business, or travel far for the whole month.From the night of the [-]th, there will be people lighting incense and burning paper in some streets and alleys, and the streets will be empty in the middle of the night. July nineteenth.

This day is also the day when many Taoist temples hold pujas. Some Taoist temples will even set up altars outside the temple a few days in advance, and start parade at [-] o'clock every afternoon. .Many modern young people downplayed their fear of the Hungry Ghost Festival in such a novel and ancient ceremony, and instead made the Hungry Ghost Festival a feast of traditional folk customs.

Just outside this less and less serious atmosphere, there is a secret and grand ceremony to be held in an ancient garden.

This is a secret ceremony of the highest level that is hard to be known by outsiders. Not only is the mage who held the sacrifice famous, but the audience participating in the ceremony is also rich or noble.

Fang Weili was wearing a gorgeous cassock, and his eyes were fixed on the door. Even though he was standing in a cool and ventilated place, he was still so hot that he was sweating a few drops.

As the youngest celestial master here, he still tried his best to straighten his back, so as not to let himself become Fang Tianqing's shame.

This Fa Conference is the most grand in G City in the past 20 years.Although the Fang family would call other mages and ascetics of G City to hold blessing and sacrificial ceremonies every year, but this time they invited influential mages from various schools and sects at home and abroad. , suddenly became crowded.

Fang Tianqing, as the most vocal patriarch of the next generation, naturally had to stand at the door to welcome the visitors.When Qiao Yuan was holding the invitation card swaggeringly, wearing a sleeveless top and shorts, and standing in front of him cool and cool, Fang Tianqing, who was wearing a three-layer cassock, finally lowered the corners of his mouth slightly.

Fang Tianqing firmly believes that the only person in this world who can overcome her is Qiao Yuan.

"It's 32 degrees today. I heard that there will be a typhoon tomorrow." Qiao Yuan pulled out a bottle of iced Coke that was still bubbling cold from his trouser pocket as if by a trick. "The car refrigerator works well. Would you like a can?"

"..."

"Oh, I heard that you have to fast for a day before the sacrifice. It's really hard." The young master, who didn't mind his naivety at all, opened the Coke in front of him, and walked into the Fang family mansion that he often said he didn't want to come back.

Simply shameless.

An apprentice from the Fang family saw it and cursed in a low voice.

Young Master Qiao has sharp ears. Hearing this sentence, he immediately counterattacked harshly: "You guys sent this invitation card. Who do you think is more shameless?"

Fang Tianqing glanced at the "Qiao's" written on the invitation sticker, and continued to greet the smiling Director Qiao behind him without changing his expression.

If you don't invite the director of the Qiao family, it will be difficult to get along in the police station in the future. If you only invite the director of Qiao and not the great gods of the Qiao family, others will say that they are narrow-minded.

In the end, I could only write a surname like other invitations, and divided up several places.

Who would have thought that the Great Demon King of the Qiao family would also come!

"Oh, my dandy is like this, please forgive me," Director Qiao, who is young and promising and has a very good relationship with various upper classes, handed over his business card and invitation with both hands, and said with a modest and polite smile, "We We have moved to a new office, come and sit when you are free."

Looking at the address on the business card, which is located in the golden section of the downtown CBD, Fang Tianqing's smile never changed.

The apprentice who peeked at him cursed again in his heart.

The Qiao family is a bunch of extravagant and lustful guys, a criminal investigation office, special codes or supernatural cases, what do you want such a good location!Isn't this clearly engaging in hedonism!Such a high-profile, sooner or later will be stabbed down by discipline inspection!

Perhaps guessing the question in the other party's mind, Qiao Xia explained with some embarrassment: "There is no way, the city government often asks us to help investigate cases, and there are no extra offices in the government building, so we can only move closer. It just happened that the office space that the Finance Bureau withdrew from before was redundant, so the director let us go there first. After a while, when everything is vacant, the Physical Evidence Identification Center will also move there.”

This 360-degree "low-key" show off without dead ends made the disciples around complain about the Qiao family again.

However, Qiao Xia didn't go in immediately, but turned around and waited for the other two elders of Qiao's parents who came together.

Fang Tianqing finally restrained her expression, and greeted these two figures who called the wind and rain in G City upright.

Even in today's full house, Qiao Jinshan and Qiao Zhendong are eye-catching characters, and their arrival even stopped the noise in the courtyard for a while.The gray-haired but tall and handsome Qiao Jinshan met Fang Shinian as soon as he entered the door. The two old men in their sixties and 70s were on par in the aura. Qiao Yuan was also mentioned: "I heard that my naughty grandson has caused trouble for you again."

Fang Shinian laughed and said what kind of thing it is, that's why newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

The two old foxes shook hands, laughing so hard that one didn't show off the mountain.

Qiao Yuan, who was drinking Coke and playing with his mobile phone in the corner, only glanced at him, and stopped paying attention with a sneer.

He was chatting with Yan Jiu on WeChat. Yan Jiu had always wanted to know who that mixed-race youth was, and he was also interested in this very high-level puja.

"The invitation is not for you to laugh at." Qiao Xia came over and reminded in a low voice leaning against the wall, "Your grandfather and your father are both in the front hall, don't hurry over there. They are here to support you. From today Remember that you are about to attend such an occasion as the representative of the Qiao family, so don't take it seriously."

After Qiao Yuan took the last sip, he accurately threw the can into the trash can three meters away, and then smiled: "Of course I know. From today onwards, you are mostly relieved, aren't you?"

Qiao Xia sighed, touched his head, and did not deny it.

Their family has a large population, and this generation is not without excellent heirs.But no matter how much hard work, it becomes meaningless in front of talent.Qiao Yuan is such a descendant of the Qiao family who had to take this path because of his talent.

It doesn't matter if you have a flawed personality, if you don't have big ambitions, if you don't get along well with your family, if you're seen as a bad boy, it doesn't matter.

Because he is the direct grandson of the current head of the Qiao family, he has outstanding IQ, astonishing magic power and willpower. These talents are enough to make him become an heir who will support the Qiao family for decades after being polished by the world.

They once had a Josh.But since Qiao Xia has already chosen to go into politics, the remaining Qiao Yuan can only be the only choice.

Qiao Xia felt somewhat guilty about this.

Until recently, Qiao Yuan's change gave him some hope -- the hope that this guy would be willing to face his cruel life.

It's hard to tell who changed who, but the appearance of Yan Jiu, a coward, really inspired Qiao Yuan's fighting spirit.

Some desires and attachments that were almost wiped away by Taoism became more and more intense because of Yan Jiu's existence.

Qiao Xia doesn't know if this is a good thing or not. At least for now, if Qiao Yuan can be made more human, even temporarily turning him into a homosexual may be an acceptable choice.

As for the future...

Qiao Xia's eyes fell on Qiao Jinshan.Can this old man who has been in the mall for decades really accept such a choice?
