My father-in-law is Lin Zhengying

Chapter 71 Ashan: Today is another unlucky day

"Aren, did you ask for leave to go back and rest for a few days?"

"How many days has it been?"

Li Xiaoxiao's voice came over the phone, "The editor-in-chief couldn't find you, so he came to me."

Xia Youren said helplessly: "Sister Cissy, I am the one who is going to resign. Will working two days more or two days less have any impact on the newspaper office?"

"You are so capable, the editor-in-chief and team leader are reluctant to let you go."

Li Xiaoxiao said: "Your recent two pieces of news have greatly increased the sales of our newspaper."

Xia Youren smiled and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I am currently studying Taoism with my father-in-law and am determined to be a glorious Maoshan Taoist priest. I will definitely leave."

Li Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Then how are you studying?"

"Okay."

Xia Youren said modestly: "I have no problem dealing with ordinary brats. I can still take them out."

After chatting for a while, Li Xiaoxiao finally got down to business, "You should think carefully about the newspaper office. Whether you want to go to work or not, you have to communicate with the editor-in-chief and the others about this matter."

"I forgot about this."

Xia Youren said: "I have been immersed in cultivation during this period and have not thought about some things carefully. I will go to the editor-in-chief to have a talk in the afternoon."

"alright."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, "Come over and let me know. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Now that she has come out of the haze of losing her boyfriend, she feels empty and wants to find someone to talk to.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Youren looked at Lao Deng and said, "Father-in-law, I have something to go to the newspaper office in the afternoon."

Lin Zhengying was a little dissatisfied, "You have too many trivial matters, and you don't stop all day long."

"Practice requires a balance between work and rest."

Xia Youren smiled and said: "If you are lazy during the day, I will make up for it at night."

"Besides, crawling around in the mortal world, isn't it another kind of practice?"

Lin Zhengying knew that her son-in-law was full of lies and did not argue, "Then do you remember the way I taught you to work hard?"

"remember."

Xia Youren said: "Use a shovel to shovel iron and sand three thousand times a day to exercise the coordination of every muscle in the body."

As he spoke, Xia Youren picked up the five-meter-long special shovel next to him, braced himself, and shoveled the iron sand next to him with all his strength. He raised the handles with both hands to shoulder level, then used his waist strength, took two steps back, and then put the iron sand upside down. .

A set of movements is performed in one go, without any sloppiness.

"You have mastered the movements, but the key is perseverance. The rest is up to you."

Lin Zhengying nodded, "The only thing I can do to help you is to do the logistics, prepare a good medicinal bath for you, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis for you, and save you the pain of damage to your meridians."

Xia Youren nodded, "Father-in-law, I will work hard."

Lin Zhengying was satisfied with her son-in-law's attitude and talent, "Then I'll go to the front for a consultation."

After Lin Zhengying left, Xia Youren did not slack off and continued to practice hard.

The handle of this shovel is made of bamboo and is more than five meters long. It is wobbly in the hand. It is extremely difficult to shovel the iron sand weighing more than 20 kilograms from the ground.

It is said that give me a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth.

But now, he is the earth, the place held by his hands is the fulcrum, and the iron sand in the shovel is slowly prying him.

The handle he is holding is still relatively long at this time, and he can slowly adjust it as he progresses.

At the back, even the bamboo poles will be lengthened, from five meters to six meters, seven meters, or even ten meters.

The rickety bamboo pole was very difficult to control, even with his immense strength.

And people will get tired. Success once does not mean success every time.

He needs to mobilize the strength of his whole body muscles and coordinate them perfectly to achieve the goals he sets every day.

Of course he can choose to be lazy, but time will tell him the answer, and the enemy will tell him the consequences of being lazy.

Therefore, Xia Youren was extremely serious about every exercise, repeating boring movements over and over again.

When he was exhausted, even though he was extremely powerful and had the strength to do so, he could barely do eight hundred.

The five-meter-long lever increased the weight of the more than 20 kilograms of iron sand on the shovel by at least ten times, and the softness of the bamboo pole made the difficulty much higher.

"Ah~"

While soaking in the medicinal bath, Xia Youren couldn't help but groan in comfort.

After being exhausted, he now only feels that the pores all over his body are dilated, and the remaining mana in his body is extremely active. Every cell is frantically devouring the medicinal power in the medicinal bath to relieve his fatigue.

After adjusting his mental state to the best and blocking out all external interference, Xia Youren took out a milky white pill.

The Qi Training Pill is only the size of a normal person's little finger, and has a faint medicinal fragrance on it, which is different from the pungent fragrance of medicinal baths. When one smells it, one can't help but feel refreshed and energetic.

This is the best time for him to make breakthroughs in cultivation.

After swallowing the Qi Training Pill in one gulp, Xia Youren felt a warm air flow from his throat into his abdomen, and then began to wander among the eight extraordinary meridians according to his usual exercise route.

Every time he swam around, his mana grew a little stronger. After swimming for nine full circles, the warm air slowly disappeared, but the mana in his body was fully doubled.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air and feeling the changes in his body, Xia Youren's face showed a hint of joy, "We have finally broken through to the middle stage of refining Qi."

In the past few days, he has been adjusting his condition and looking for a suitable breakthrough opportunity.

Today, after exhausting all his strength, he felt the thirst of countless cells in his body, and he knew that the time for his breakthrough had finally arrived.

So he decisively swallowed the Qi Refining Pill, and his strength broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Although his superficial strength is not obvious, the spells he casts are more powerful and the fighting time is longer.

And more importantly, as his cultivation improves, he can also learn more complex spells and use more complex spells.

The increase in strength also means that his chances of survival in the supernatural world of Hong Kong Island are greatly enhanced.

Although Lin Zhengying protects him, his own strength is the foundation.

……

"Aren, you are finally here."

Asia Daily, as soon as Xia Youren entered the office, the team leader heard the news and came out of the office, "I called your home these days but no one answered. Finally, I found you through Cissy."

Xia Youren smiled and said, "I haven't been at home during this time. I live at my father-in-law's place."

Even though he had a mobile phone, he didn't use his BB machine very much. After it ran out of power, he just threw it in the corner.

The phone number he left at the newspaper office was his home landline. He was not at home, so naturally no one answered.

"Forget it, stop talking about it."

The team leader said: "The editor-in-chief is looking for you, let's go to his office first."

After just two steps, Li Xiaoxiao also got the news and came out of the office. He nodded, "Aren, here you go."

Xia Youren also smiled and nodded in response, "Sister Cissy, the editor-in-chief is looking for me. We will talk later."

Li Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "Then go ahead."

When he came to the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief personally made him a cup of tea.

Out of politeness, Xia Youren took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief, you are so kind to me, I almost can't bear to leave."

"If you don't want to leave, don't leave."

Touching the smooth top of his head, the editor-in-chief laughed and said, "We at Asia Daily need talents like you."

Xia Youren shook his head and said, "Editor-in-Chief, I have decided to leave. You can't keep me."

The smile on his face froze, and the editor-in-chief sighed, "Your recent two news articles have benefited our Asia Daily a lot. For this reason, we have specially opened a supernatural column to collect various folk weird legends for publication. So far, the effect is pretty good.”

"Originally, the general manager asked me to keep you, but since you said so, I won't stop you if you want to leave."

Xia Youren smiled and said, "Thank you, editor-in-chief, for your understanding."

The editor-in-chief continued: "I know about you and your father-in-law from Cissy. If you have first-hand information in this regard, please don't forget the old club of Asia Daily. You also know the rules of the newspaper. As long as you provide clues and information , you can get generous bonuses." Xia Youren promised, "Chief editor, I have been at the newspaper for more than a year, and you have always taken care of me since my internship. I will definitely never forget Asia Daily. After all, this is the first time in my life. job."

A smile appeared on the editor-in-chief's face again, "Let's have dinner together tonight and get together. Then I'll call Cissy too."

After hesitating, Xia Youren nodded in agreement, "Okay."

People in the world cannot help themselves, and it is always difficult to avoid various human relationships and social interactions.

After sitting in Li Xiaoxiao's office for a while, Xia Youren was ready to find an opportunity to skip work.

The motorcycle I just got has not been driven a few times, so my hands are inevitably itchy.

But as soon as he got off the elevator, he saw a weak white figure cleaning the underground garage.

I didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when I thought of the psychological harm that evil ghost had caused to the girl in front of me, I walked up and said, "Hey, what's your name?"

The girl in white trembled suddenly, then raised her head and glanced at Xia Youren. The uneasy stone in her heart dropped slightly, and she whispered: "My name is Xiaoyu."

Xia Youren said: "I have dealt with that evil ghost, and he will never appear again."

There was no joy or happiness as expected, Xiao Yu just frowned slightly and shook her head with a strange expression.

"What's your expression like?"

Xia Youren was a little puzzled, "She used to tease you a lot, but now she's gone, aren't you happy?"

"I……"

Xiao Yu turned around and glanced in a certain direction, shook her head, "I'm happy!"

Looking at the other party's bitter face, Xia Youren couldn't seem to be happy at all.

With a thought in his heart, Xia Youren asked softly: "She didn't leave?"

Xiaoyu's body trembled suddenly, and then she shook her head desperately, "Let's go, she's gone!"

Seeing the nervous look on the other party's face, Xia Youren knew the answer, "Take me to her. I have something to tell her."

In the Jane's Building, with the help of Zhong Fabai's formation, he could sense the changes in the evil spirit of the entire building, but now an evil ghost forcibly restrained the evil spirit in his body. If he were not at close range, he would really Can't find it.

Looking a little excited, Xiaoyu shook her head, "I don't know where she is."

With a straight face, Xia Youren let go of the evil spirit that remained after killing someone, "Do you know that you can't lie at all? The answers are all written on your face. Take me to find her now."

"I……"

Xiaoyu took a few steps back, "I don't know, don't force me."

"It seems you are afraid of her, not me?"

A sinister smile flashed across Xia Youren's face, "You may not know the name of Cai Xukun, the murderer king of Tamen Island. If you don't tell me today, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, Xia Youren moved step by step towards the girl in front of him.

Feeling the pressure brought by Xia Youren, Xiaoyu, who was on the verge of mental breakdown, could no longer hold on. Tears fell down her cheeks, crying like a pear blossom with rain.

Unfortunately, this move didn't work on Xia Youren, and he still pressed forward step by step.

Seeing that he was about to be forced into a corner with no way out, Xiaoyu could only sob and said: "I will take you there, I will take you there!"

Sure enough, being a good person will only lead to being deceived by taking advantage of good intentions, and only being a bad person can lead a prosperous life.

Looking at Ah Shan, the female ghost in red who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Xia Youren kicked him directly.

"Bang~"

Frightened, Ashan, who was occupying the magpie's nest, sat up immediately with an angry look on his face. Without even looking, he shouted loudly and cursed: "Xiao Bai, are you tired of living...are you...?"

She turned her head with the next words and did not dare to say them again. Instead, she changed her face to a flattering one, "What a coincidence!"

How did this evil star come here?

Looking past Xia Youren and landing on Xiao Yu, who was hiding in the corner, Ashan knew who had betrayed her.

Xiaoyu noticed Ashan's gaze, her body trembled and she curled up.

"Are you pretty good?"

Xia Youren folded his arms, and the coldness in his eyes made Ashan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. "Who is tired of living? Why don't you continue talking?"

"I……"

Ashan was also a little confused. She was just sleeping and didn't provoke anyone. Why did this evil star suddenly come?

He also looked like he was inciting an army to accuse him.

Since she was warned by Xia Youren in the elevator last time, she has not been as harsh on Xiaoyu as before, and only occasionally lets him play with her.

The treatment has also been upgraded a lot. Originally, she let Xiao Yu sleep on the floor, but now she lets Xiao Yu sleep on the sofa. What else does she want from her?
"What am I?"

Seeing that the other person didn't look very smart, Xia Youren glared, "Didn't I ask you to reincarnate? Why don't you leave?"

Ah Shan felt a little aggrieved, "I can't be reborn."

Xia Youren asked: "Why can't I be reborn?"

Pretending to be innocent, Ashan shook her head, "I don't know what's going on."

A ghost-expelling talisman appeared in Xia Youren's hand, and he threatened: "Tell the truth."

You knew that this evil star was ruthless and ruthless. Seeing the tears on Xiaoyu's face, you could tell that he was frightened by this evil star in front of him.

This little doormat is too timid.

Although she had countless thoughts in her heart, under the coercion of Xia Youren, the big devil, Ashan could only tell the truth.

Ashan lowered his head and moved his hands unconsciously in circles, "It seems that because of my violent death, I have to find a scapegoat before I can be reincarnated."

Xia Youren frowned, "What does it look like?"

Ashan was so frightened that she quickly said: "Because I died suddenly and stayed in the world for too long, I have to find a substitute before I can be reincarnated."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Xia Youren asked: "Are you planning to find a substitute to reincarnate?"

Knowing that there was no point in denying it, Ashan shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet?"

She is indeed a bit stupid. Except for Xiao Yu, who is naturally withdrawn and timid, she can't scare anyone.

Xia Youren asked again: "Where are the evil ghosts you escaped with? Do you know any news about them?"

These days, he would drive out for a walk in the early hours of the night, but Hong Kong Island is so big, and a few evil spirits scattered like water poured into the sea, where do you want him to look for them?

If you want to find these evil spirits, you can only rely on luck.

Ashan whispered: "If I tell you, can you spare me once?"

A sneer appeared on Xia Youren's face, "Are you bargaining with me?"

"Don't dare."

Ashan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xia Youren, "I don't want to die."

Xia Youren asked curiously: "You said you have died once, why are you still so greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Ashan said: "Only when I die once can I know how comfortable living is."

When she was alive, she was ostracized and bullied by her colleagues. Now that she is dead, she is the only one bullying others. How happy is that?

Of course, except Xia Youren.

In her eyes, Xia Youren was a complete devil, more terrifying than the leader who killed her.

"In that case, I'll give you a chance."

Xia Youren said: "Don't you want to reincarnate? I will help you reincarnate."

A flash of surprise flashed across Ashan's face, "Are you really willing to help me?"

"Don't be too happy."

Xia Youren said slowly: "If you want me to help you reincarnate, you must help me find the evil ghosts who escaped from Jian's Building a few days ago!"
