My father-in-law is Lin Zhengying

Chapter 137: The hope of practicing thunder magic, "Fierce Ghost Tour"

"Aren, I see that your steps are light and your eyes are sparkling. I guess you should have made a breakthrough to practice Qi and become a god, right?"

Putting aside the centuries-old lightning-struck mahogany heart, Lin Jiu asked with a smile.

"Yes."

When he talked about this, Xia Youren couldn't hide the smile on his lips, "I went to Thailand and had a chance, and I made a breakthrough last night."

"It's amazing."

Lin Jiuyouyou sighed, "I went to Maoshan and spent ten years building the foundation. Compared with you, I am far behind."

"Grandpa, don't belittle yourself."

Xia Youren smiled and said: "You have accumulated a lot of experience and become a late bloomer. It only took ten years to go from building the foundation Dantian to casting the spirit and emitting the head."

Lin Jiu's early talent was mediocre, and he was not conspicuous among the brothers of the Maoshan sect.

But after the foundation was successfully established, it was as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and he quickly advanced to refine the spirit and return to the void. At that time, he was the only one among the disciples of the Maoshan sect who could compete with his senior brother Shi Jian.

In addition, he is humble and knows how to respect his elders, and he has won the support of a large number of deceased ancestors in the underworld.

If his foundation had not been damaged, he would probably be an ancestor of Lianxu Hedao now.

Unfortunately, if there is no such thing, Lin Jiu's foundation is damaged, and coupled with his age, he is destined to have no hope of success in this life.

But when you die and go to the underworld, with so many connections, you can still be a ghost and live freely.

"Aren, the third child is a dabbler. He can't guide you anymore."

Lin Jiu said slowly: "If you have any questions or questions during your cultivation, you can come to the island and ask me."

"Father-in-law is still very powerful."

Thinking of the people who were still kneeling in the backyard after leaving in the morning, Xia Youren said with a smile: "There were still a few people who came to the house yesterday to become apprentices, and they haven't left yet this morning."

"Humph~"

"Apprentice?"

Lin Jiu snorted coldly, "A bottle of water doesn't make any noise, but a half-full bottle of water jingles. He will only mislead others."

Among his sons, the one he is most dissatisfied with is the third.

However, he also knew that the death of his third wife was a big blow to him, and later he delayed his spiritual practice in order to take care of his daughter Lin Yuzhi.

Xia Youren asked about the last purpose of his trip, "Grandpa, I want a book on physical training. Do you have any here?"

"Physical training techniques?"

Lin Jiu frowned slightly and shook his head, "Some of the ordinary physical training methods I have here are of no use to you."

"When it comes to physical training, Longhu Mountain is second to none, because they practice the thunder method and can use thunder and lightning to temper the physical body, making it extremely powerful."

Feeling a little disappointed, Xia Youren asked unwillingly: "Grandpa, do you know how to practice Lei Fa?"

"Some people have special constitutions and are born close to thunder and lightning."

Lin Jiudao: "But there are very few such people, not one in ten thousand."

Having said this, Lin Jiu paused and continued: "If you want to practice thunder magic, I have an alternative."

Xia Youren asked, "What can we do?"

"There was no way before, but now technology is very convenient."

Lin Jiu said slowly: "You can use a transformer to change the current and let your body adapt to the changes in current pressure little by little. In this way, you may be able to modify it and bring your body closer to lightning."

Although he is old, his heart is not, and he has been specializing in various schools of practice.

Use electric shock to increase the body's proximity and resistance to lightning.

Of course, it can also be used to stimulate human cells and increase activity.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Youren felt like he was enlightened. He immediately felt that this method was very promising, "Then I'll give it a try when I get back."

Lin Jiu reminded: "You must pay attention to safety with this method, so as not to damage the body or destroy the foundation."

Xia Youren nodded, "Grandpa, I know."

Throughout the whole process, Lin Jiu didn't ask Xia Youren how many drops of spiritual liquid he needed to build the foundation, because it was not necessary.

When he saw Xia Youren's confident and ambitious look, he knew that he was definitely indispensable.

After talking about business, Xia Youren chatted about gossip, "Grandpa, I heard from my father-in-law that you had several apprentices in the past. How are they doing now?"

He saw Wen Cai, but he was curious about the situation of others, especially Qiu Sheng.

After a pause, with a trace of recollection in his eyes, Lin Jiu silently thought about the few apprentices he taught.

He had seven or eight disciples throughout his life, but unfortunately none of them became successful.

Qiu Sheng, the most talented person, was also deceived by a female ghost, which caused him to lose his vitality, destroy his foundation, and eventually died young.

Seeing that Lin Jiu didn't speak, Xia Youren thought that someone was mentioning something sad, so he quickly said: "I saw a literary talent on Hong Kong Island. I heard from my father-in-law that he is your adopted son and apprentice?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Jiu seemed to have already known about the situation of literary talents, "Among my many disciples, he is the one with the dullest qualifications. But maybe stupid people are lucky, but he is the only one who survives to the end."

Xia Youren nodded and did not answer. He knew what Lin Jiu meant. Only the literary disciple of his was still there, and all the others were gone.

……

After staying on the outlying island for two days and eating Lin Jiuwu's chickens and dozens of eggs, Xia Youren left by boat at noon.

The century-old Lightning Strike Peach Wood Sword will be picked up in a month. By then it will definitely be a magical weapon that is not weaker than the Tiangang Demon-Suppressing Sword.

When he returned to Hong Kong Island, he originally thought his life would be peaceful for a few days, but as soon as he drove out of the pier parking lot, he happened to see a ghostly minibus.

I looked up at the sky. It was already close to five o'clock. The sky was dark and it was raining lightly.

Are ghosts this bold now?
He was so arrogant that he didn't pay any attention to him, a Taoist priest from Maoshan?
With a flick of the steering wheel, Xia Youren followed the minibus, wanting to see where he was going?

"Kowloon Trust Hotel?"

All the way to the boundary of West Kowloon, I saw a minibus parked in front of the hotel, and seven or eight people got out of the car.

It's just that each of these people's complexions are pale, and there is an aura of death on their bodies. They are obviously not alive.

Ghost upper body!
But this is no ordinary ghost.

These people were reincarnated by others after death, and then their souls returned to themselves for some special reasons.

Therefore, they cannot be said to be simple ghosts, because they have physical bodies.

It's just that the body is slowly decaying as time goes by.

This situation is very special and requires the right time, location, and people, all of which are indispensable.

It must be at a special time, a special place, and a special birthday.

They don't even know they are dead.

"Sir, do you want to park the car?"

While I was thinking, the parking boy on the side took the initiative to come over.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, Xia Youren handed the other party 20 Hong Kong dollars along with the key in his hand, "Please stop for me, please."

"Ok."

The parking boy smiled and said, "Park the car and I'll leave the keys at the front desk of the hotel."

"Cha~"

Just as he was about to enter the hotel, he didn't want to hear the sound of a sudden brake behind him.

Looking back, a guy with a unibrow and a Chinese character face walked down wearing a gray windbreaker.

Xia Youren raised his eyebrows slightly, "Good guy, aren't Uncle Nine's genes too strong?"

The whole family is very similar, sharing the same face. Fortunately, Lin Yuzhi doesn't look like that.

"Ma Jiuying!"

Holding a compass, Ma Jiuying threw the car keys in her hand at the parking boy next to her and prepared to walk in, but she didn't want anyone to call his name.

Ma Jiuying fixed her gaze on Xia Youren, her eyes full of doubts, "Who are you?"

He doesn't remember seeing this man?

Seeing the other party looking at him, Xia Youren knew that he had not admitted his mistake. At the same time, he also knew in his heart who the group of ghosts who had just entered were.

"Ghost Tour"!
Unexpectedly, something happened as soon as I came back.

Xia Youren smiled and said, "My name is Xia Youren, and I know your father Lin Zhenghua."

He guessed that Lin Zhenghua probably did not tell his other two children about his true identity.

Ma Jiuying became even more confused, "Do you know my dad?"

What does it have to do with him knowing his father?

"I'm the boyfriend of a distant cousin of yours. I've met your dad a few times."

Xia Youren smiled and stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, "You and your father look almost exactly the same."

He definitely doesn't want to be the evil person who reveals the truth to the public.

Ma Jiuying's eyes lit up slightly and she looked Xia Youren up and down, "So you are Li Jialing's boyfriend?"

Xia Youren said leisurely: "Li Jialing is your cousin, right?"

How can he be worthy of Carina Li, who has special powers?

"Forehead?"

Ma Jiuying couldn't turn her head, "Cousin? Cousin?"

"Forget it, I guess you can't tell the difference either."

Xia Youren patted Ma Jiuying on the shoulder again, "My girlfriend's name is Lin Yuzhi, and you have to call her father Third Uncle."

Ma Jiuying blinked, "Third uncle? Cousin Lin Yuzhi?"

He had asked his father before that his family had no relatives on Hong Kong Island where they fled.

Seeing that Ma Jiuying still didn't understand, Xia Youren took out his cell phone and dialed.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello~"

"Second uncle, I'm Aren."

"Hahaha~"

Lin Zhenghua's hearty laughter came from the phone, "Aren, have you returned to Hong Kong Island?"

Xia Youren smiled and said, "I've been back for a few days, and I even went to an outlying island."

"Lily Island is a good place."

Lin Zhenghua sighed, "I haven't been back for a long time."

Xia Youren smiled and said, "It's indeed good. The old hens raised by grandpa are delicious." After chatting for a while, Lin Zhenghua asked: "Aren, why are you calling me?"

"Second uncle, it's like this."

Xia Youren glanced at Ma Jiuying next to him, and said slowly: "I just met Ma Jiuying, and we just chatted for a few words."

Lin Zhenghua was a little nervous when he heard this, "You didn't say anything to him, right?"

"No."

Xia Youren shook his head, "I just said hello to him."

Lin Zhenghua asked: "Then is he still with you?"

Xia Youren nodded, "Still."

Lin Zhenghua said: "Then give him the phone and I'll have a few words with him."

"Well~"

Xia Youren handed over the phone and said, "Ma Jiuying, your father wants to talk to you."

With a trace of suspicion on her face, Ma Jiuying answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Which one!"

A rather stern voice came from the phone, "I'm your dad!"

Rubbing her ears, Ma Jiuying looked at Xia Youren across from her with some embarrassment, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Lin Zhenghua said: "Aren is your brother-in-law, you must take good care of him."

Ma Jiuying said weakly: "I'm here to pick up my cousin Li Jialing today."

Li Jialing is the daughter of his mother's biological sister. She has written letters to her, but has never met her in person.

This time the other party came to Hong Kong Island for a trip, so he naturally wanted to entertain him warmly.

"Forget it, you two are together and you don't know who will take care of whom."

Thinking of Xia Youren's Mercedes-Benz S600, Lin Zhenghua didn't want to say more, "You just need to know that he is your brother-in-law and get along well with him."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Returning the phone to Xia Youren, Ma Jiuying called out awkwardly, "Brother-in-law."

Xia Youren smiled and took the phone, "It sounds weird to call me brother-in-law. Call me A-Ren."

Ma Jiuying nodded and asked, "Aren, what are you doing here?"

Xia Youren picked up the little thing on the ground and said, "Whatever you come to do, I will do."

Ma Jiuying asked: "Are you here to catch ghosts too?"

Looking at the compass in Ma Jiuying's hand, Xia Youren said: "I saw the ghostly minibus just now on the road, so I followed it."

"I also chased him all the way when I saw something was wrong with the compass needle when I was in the wrong car."

Ma Jiuying looked at the compass needle that was still hovering, "I didn't expect to end up here."

Having said this, Ma Jiuying paused and looked at Xia Youren, "Aren, my cousin also lives in this hotel."

He wanted to say that your cousin was hanging out with those ghosts now, but after thinking about it, Xia Youren decided to forget it and comforted him: "Those ghosts just came, your cousin must be fine."

Ma Jiuying nodded, "Let's talk after we go in."

As soon as I walked into the lobby, a waiter greeted me, "Gentlemen, would you like to have a meal or stay?"

Xia Youren smiled and said, "Let's eat."

The waiter introduced: "The first floor is a buffet, the second floor is Chinese food, and the third floor is Western food. What do you want to eat?"

"eat……"

Xia Youren was about to eat Chinese food when he saw a porcelain doll-like woman passing by. His eyes lit up and he shouted: "Jiajia!"

When Hu Jiajia heard someone calling her, she immediately turned back to look at the voice and found that it was Xia Youren. A smile appeared on her frowning face, "Aren, what are you doing?"

Regarding the porcelain doll-like beauty in front of him, Xia Youren could only sigh that she is such a beauty, "I came to the hotel for dinner, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

The waiter bowed slightly and said politely: "Miss Jiajia."

"Ah."

Hu Jiajia nodded, "This is my friend, I'll receive him."

Hu Jiajia said as an invitation, "Let's go, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Xia Youren was not surprised when he thought that Police Chief Hu Xin and Hu Feng lived in a villa. He just smiled and asked, "Is this your hotel?"

Hu Jiajia shrugged, "Not soon."

Xia Youren put away the smile on his face, "What, is there something wrong with the hotel?"

"My father is a bad gambler. He went to Macau a few days ago and lost everything."

Hu Jiajia said silently: "This time I come here to sign my share transfer letter."

This hotel was built by her parents, and after her mother died, her share of the hotel was transferred to her name.

But today, it was because of dad's greed that he lost the entire hotel.

I don't have much feeling in my heart, just that it's not worth it for my mother who died.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit walked over and said, "Jiajia, you are here."

"Ah."

Hu Jiajia nodded, "Bring over the equity transfer document. I'll treat my friends to dinner after I sign it."

Seeing his daughter's unhappy look, Hu Quan comforted her with some embarrassment: "Jiajia, with the help of your second uncle and third uncle, we can open a hotel exactly like this in a few years."

Hu Jiajia shook her head, "It won't be the same hotel again if it opens again."

"It's all because of my father's fault. He got lost in his mind for a while."

Hu Quan said angrily: "I shouldn't have listened to that bastard in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't be like today."

Hu Jiajia didn't want to listen to her father's nonsense, "Bring me the equity book. I'll sign it and go to dinner."

She was completely disappointed with this abusive gambling father.

Hu Quan likes to go to Macau to play when he has nothing to do. He once lost several million in the past.

The hotel was doing well at the time, and it still had some foundation for him to lose.

But no matter how strong his foundation is, he can't withstand millions of losses every time.

Later, not only did I lose all my deposits, but I also invested all the money from my suppliers.

In the end, they demolished the east wall to pay for the west wall, and even borrowed loan sharks at usury.

If the second uncle and the third uncle hadn't come forward to help, this hotel would have been gone.

I originally thought that things would change after going through the previous few times, but it turned out that a dog couldn't change and ate shit.

I used my hotel shares to pay for 3000 million in the casino, but lost it all in one night.

Of course, Hu Quan didn't ask Hu Xin and Hu Feng for help this time, but they ignored him.

Hu Xin, in particular, made harsh words. Anyone who dared to borrow money from his elder brother at high interest rates would not only not be able to repay a penny, but they would also be wiped out.

Now there is absolutely no other option. Now the only option is to package up and sell the entire hotel to pay off the gambling debts.

Hu Jiajia also gave up completely. Just sell this hotel.

How will he gamble in the future?
Asking the secretary to bring the folder over, Hu Quan handed it to his daughter, patted his chest and promised: "Jiajia, I promise you, I will definitely buy this hotel back in the future."

Hu Jiajia listened with her left ear and listened with her right ear. She didn't take it seriously at all. She picked up the pen in the folder and signed her name in a swipe.

Putting down the pen, Hu Jiajia had no expression on her face, "Okay, I have transferred all the shares in the hotel to you. You can sell it."

Putting the folder away, Hu Quan knew that what he was doing was not human affairs. He looked at Xia Youren with a hint of kindness on his face and said, "You kid, why didn't you tell your dad that you have a boyfriend?"

With that said, Hu Quan launched a standard three-hit combo for parents.

"What's your name?"

"Where do you live?"

"What do you do?"

"Cough cough~"

Xia Youren, who had been silent for the whole time, saw the misunderstanding and deliberately coughed to say that he was not Hu Jiajia's boyfriend.

But he didn't want Hu Jiajia to directly hold his arm and make a gesture of intimacy, "Yes, I have a boyfriend now. Don't worry about me from now on. I will give you 5000 yuan for living expenses every month. You Don’t bother me either!”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and Xia Youren could only nod his head, "Hello, uncle, my name is Xia Youren. I am a Maoshan Taoist priest by profession. I read Feng Shui and catch ghosts for people."

"Maoshan Taoist priest?"

Hu Quan looked confused, "Can Taoist priests get married?"

Xia Youren didn't want to say more, "Maoshan Taoist priests can get married."

"It's good to be able to get married."

Hu Quan nodded and warned: "My daughter is very innocent, you are not allowed to play with her emotions and do things that start with chaos and end with abandonment."

Acting very calmly, Xia Youren nodded reservedly, "I can't."

Xia Youren's appearance is pretty good, and his speech is quite polite. Hu Quan is quite satisfied, but he has not forgotten the most critical question, "How much does it cost for a month for your Maoshan Taoist priests to show people Feng Shui and catch ghosts?"

"I can't tell."

Xia Youren explained: "In our business, we don't open for three years, and we open for three years."

"I know."

Hu Quan smiled and patted Xia Youren's shoulder, looking free and easy, "Anyway, as long as you can support my daughter."

Although he didn't regard Xia Youren as a liar, he did understand him as an ordinary person with no ability. After all, he looked too young.

Xia Youren didn't explain either. After all, he was not Hu Jiajia's boyfriend.

"Then go and eat."

Hu Quan looked at his daughter, "I still have to go to the office."

After Xia Youren and the others went to the elevator, Hu Quan walked around and came to the front desk, "That guy named Xia Youren just now, how did he get here?"

The front desk clerk stood up and replied: "General manager, he drives the latest Mercedes-Benz S600, which costs more than 200 million."

"More than 200 million?"

Touching his chin, Hu Quan nodded, "It seems that she still has some strength. No wonder she looks down on the people I introduced to her. She has a good taste."
