The Haunted

Ye Yingzhi's car was still waiting by the boulevard outside Chi's mansion. The ceiling lights inside the car were on, giving off a warm light. When you walked in, you could see the rear window half open, and you could see a man in a long black trench coat Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

Chi Yan opened the car door and rushed in, hugging the man's arm.

Ye Yingzhi hugged him and supported his chin to make him raise his head. Seeing his red eyes, he leaned over and kissed him distressedly: "What's wrong? Who bullied you again?"

There is one thing that Chi Rong guessed right, Ye Yingzhi really likes to bully Chi Yan, and often bullies him until Chi Yan's eyes are blurry and weeping in a mess, he hugs him softly and begs him for mercy before he is willing to stop, and starts to hug him Get into your arms and coax slowly.But these little things between the two of them are not enough for outsiders to understand. Normally, if Ye Yingzhi sees that Chi Yan has been wronged and bullied elsewhere, it will be a big deal. He must make a serious account in his heart, and then he will carefully coax him. .

Chi Yan shook his head, lying on his chest and whispered: "My father passed away." His voice was still choked up, and when he said the word "father", he could hardly control himself.He hasn't called Chi Yuanshan that way for ten years. When he broke off his father-son relationship at the age of 16 and left Chi's house, he didn't say anything. When he was at Chi's house, he knew that Chi Yuanshan was sorry for their mother and son, so he resisted talking to him. Talking, let alone calling him "Daddy" or "Dad".

Of course Ye Yingzhi could hear the change in his address, so she just stroked his back to help him breathe, and responded lightly, without expressing any opinion.

Chi Yan intermittently told him the story he had just heard from Chi Rong, Ye Yingzhi also listened quietly the whole time, and when he finished, he hugged him onto his lap and sat down, hugging him face to face Stopped him, raised his head and kissed his eyes: "Hey, don't think about it, take a good rest, brother will send someone to check."

Chi Yan lowered his head and buried it on the side of his neck, put his hands around Ye Yingzhi's waist, and gave a low "um", his eyes were still red.

He rested for a while, then asked in a low voice in this posture: "Brother Yingzhi, can you give my father a ride so that he can go better? Chi Rong said that he was manipulated by a witch and buried in his heart." When the Gu worm dies, it dies with it. It is not easy for him to go, I want him to go smoothly."

"It should." Ye Yingzhi replied, "If you recognize him, he is also my father. Of course, as a child, you should give your father-in-law a ride."

As he spoke, he looked out the car window, pointed to the grove on the left side of the road, and said, "It's not appropriate for me to rush into Chi's house to save my father-in-law in my current status. Let's see him off here, okay?"

Chi Yan nodded with red eyes, didn't care, or subconsciously acquiesced to the "father-in-law" that Ye Yingzhi said one by one.

The driver turned off the ignition of the car, took some spell-casting materials from the trunk, followed Chi Yan and Ye Ying along the road and walked into the forest with his mobile phone.Ye Yingzhi kept these spell-casting tools in his car all year round, which saved a lot of trouble.

The three of them stopped after finding a flat and open space. Chi Yan was in charge of lighting with his mobile phone. Ye Yingzhi reached out and took the cinnabar brush handed by the driver. The paper sealed a few formation eyes, and began to cast spells with eyes closed.

Chi Yan closed his eyes and knelt beside him, silently reciting the eulogy for his death.

Suddenly a wind blew in the woods, chilling down the man's neck, carrying a gloomy chill.Chi Yan shivered, opened his eyes, and saw a vague figure walking in his direction, judging from his appearance, it was Chi Yuanshan.

"He" kept looking at Chi Yan, his mouth moved eagerly, as if he was talking about something, seeing that Chi Yan didn't respond, he waved to the side even more anxiously.Chi Yan looked at him, couldn't help standing up and shouting loudly: "Father, what are you talking about? I can't hear you!"

Chi Yuanshan moved a little closer to him, getting closer and closer to the perishing formation on the ground, and Chi Yan could gradually see the shape of his mouth—at this moment, a strong force suddenly emerged from the formation , suddenly pushed Chiyuan Mountain away, gradually blurred, and disappeared... Until he disappeared, he kept waving to Chi Yan's right.

Chi Yan suddenly sat down on the ground, turned his head to the left and looked at Ye Yingzhi: "Brother Yingzhi, what do you think my father wants to tell me? Has he left?"

"He has passed away." Ye Yingzhi hugged him into his arms, helped him stand up, and kissed his forehead, "Don't be afraid, no matter what brother you have, I will protect you."

Chi Yan responded sullenly, and was pushed back into the car by Ye Yingzhi.

On the second day, Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi attended Chi Yuanshan's funeral together.

Because there were a lot of visitors during the reward day festival, and the people who left were Chi's family and Chiyuan Mountain, so many people came to express their condolences.Chi Yan has already left the Chi family, and has long since dissolved the father-son relationship with Chi Yuanshan. Even though many people have known about the young man next to the head of the Ye family these days, it is said that the boyfriend of Miss Xu Erye is the former Chi The grandson of the patriarch, at this time, could only stand by and watch like other visitors, and slowly walked forward to present a bouquet of flowers.

Mr. Chi is still in seclusion, and he hasn't come out even after his son's sudden death.Everything at the scene was assisted by the housekeeper and a few children from the neighboring family of Chi's family, including ushering in and sending off to thank the visitors, and some people had already started whispering why Chi Shao was not seen.

Chi Shao in their mouths is naturally Chi Rong, and the manager explained to all the guests that Chi Rong was too sad and sick, and he was recuperating in the room and could not see guests, but there was a look of worry on his brows.

Chi Yuanshan's sudden death is a bit strange, now the older one's bones are not cold, the younger one is seriously ill in bed, and the older one can't get out of seclusion. There is not even a single person who makes up his mind in the entire Chi family, and it all depends on a few clan elders.Everyone couldn't help thinking that a clan elder died in the Chi family for no apparent reason a few days ago, and was even buried in the ground with a requiem.

Ye Yingzhi acted quickly, and the people he sent quickly found some information, which was handed over to Chi Yan just after returning from the funeral.

Influenced by artistic creations such as film and television dramas and novels, people generally think of the Yunnan-Guizhou area when it comes to witchcraft, because Yunnan and Guizhou is full of miasma and poisonous insects in the mountains, and it does have the geographical conditions for the development of this type of magic.But Chi Rong's mother inherited another line of witchcraft, which originated from Qiongzhou, which is now Hainan, and is called Qiongzhou witchcraft.The terrain of Qiongzhou is high and low, surrounded by the sea, and the mountains are prone to fog. There are also some secret arts in the mountains and fields in the middle, but many of them are gradually lost. Chi Rong's mother is the most mysterious Qiongzhou witchcraft descendant among them.From this point of view, what Chi Rong said yesterday is probably true, but whether Chi Yuanshan is controlled by witchcraft or not can only be confirmed by opening the coffin for an autopsy.

It is impossible to open the coffin for an autopsy. Ye Yingzhi sent someone to ask someone who knew the Central Plains Gu art, and described Chi Yuanshan's death condition.One of the characteristics of Qiongzhou Witch Gu is that after the death of the Gu owner, the Gu worms will die within a short period of time. For this kind of Gu that can control a person for decades, the Gu worms have already entered the heart of the person who was bewitched. In the symbiosis system, once the Gu insect dies, that person will soon exhaust himself and die.

Chi Yan couldn't close his eyes all night with the investigation news he sent back.Even if there is no conclusive evidence, he has already decided in his heart that Chi Yuanshan will become like that, and the whole family is in disarray because his father was poisoned.The murderer was Chi Rong's mother, but Chi Rong's mother died five years ago, and he had nowhere to seek revenge.And according to what Chi Rong said that day, there should be people behind this who are helping to make things happen.

Chi Yan sorted out his thoughts bit by bit, and found a logical problem in this series of events: Suppose his father was controlled by Gu art all these years, and the fact that he didn't wake up for a moment until the Gu insect died when he was dying Really, then it was for his own good that he asked him to "go quickly" in the end; regardless of the motive or reason, it was also for his own good to say that Chi Rong who urged him to leave many times; Why set up a death situation like Hejia Village to kill him?

This creates contradictions.There are two explanations, one explanation is that his initial assumption of "for his own good" was wrong, and Chi Rong and Chi Yuanshan still wanted to kill him; the other explanation is that someone else wanted to kill him He misunderstood Chi Rong's lie in Xu's small garden at noon that day.Leaving Chi Rong aside for the time being, Chi Yan no longer believes or does not want to believe that Chi Yuanshan's last words still contain malicious intent, so he will subconsciously reject the first explanation.

So he had to ask Chi Rong to find out what else he knew, why he urged him to leave here many times, and why he himself didn't leave.

But thinking of Chi Rong's appearance that night, he still felt a little trembling. He wasn't afraid of Chi Rong, but the other party's appearance was indeed somewhat abnormal.After all, Ye Yingzhi is a generation older than him, and his status is also extraordinary now, he can't do everything with Ye Yingzhi's company, and he is also worried that Ye Yingzhi's health will not be able to bear it.So just in case, Chi Yan called Xu Rui and asked him to accompany him back to Chi's house to find Chi Rong.

Chi Yan went directly to Xu's house by car to find Xu Rui. From a distance, he saw a lot of people in the main hall of Xu's house. The people who spoke were very excited. Uncle Xu Rui and the housekeeper were trying to comfort them .

At this time Xu Rui had come over, opened the door and got in the car, and sat next to Chi Yan.

As the car drove forward, Chi Yan pointed in the direction of the main hall: "What's going on?"

Xu Rui curled his lips: "It's a group of celestial masters who came to participate in the rewarding ceremony. Their sect master's surname is Ma, and they have a son who is less than 20 years old in a few months. He is called Ma Tian. This year, he also brought them to the sacrificial ceremony. As a result, Ma Tian suddenly disappeared in the past two days, and the head of the Ma family urged the Xu family to accompany them to find his son every day. You said that his son is also an adult, and there is nothing to do in this mountain. Maybe he ran out to play. , so forced my uncle and the others, they sent people to look for it, but they couldn’t find anything. Now my dad is being pinched by my grandpa every day to help, but fortunately they haven’t arrested me to become a strong man.”

These days, it was arranging the sacrifice ceremony for the sky, and Chi Yuanshan fainted at the banquet and then died suddenly. The Xu family was indeed very busy.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, Chi Yan patted Xu Rui's shoulder and chatted for comfort.

The atmosphere in Chi's house was a little dignified, there was a decaying and cold atmosphere in the house, and the mourning hall in Chiyuan Mountain was still in place, but the number of people who came to pay their respects and condolences was much less than yesterday.Chi Yan and Xu Rui went in to worship again, and then asked the housekeeper to see Chi Rong, have a chat with him, and ask about his father's life.

He is also Chi Yuanshan's biological son, and he is the undisputed legitimate son of Chi Yuanshan's grandson. Even if he left, now that Chi Yuanshan is dead, his request is perfectly normal and reasonable.

The butler was the one who brought him in to see Chi Yuanshan for the last time the night before, and later helped deal with Chi Yuanshan's funeral. Chi Yan remembered that he had been working with Chiyuanshan, because of Chiyuanshan's attitude, he had always treated Chiyuanshan. Rong is loyal, but he is indifferent to himself.Therefore, Chi Yan also treated him in a polite and detached tone, and asked him to help pass a message to Chi Rong. If Chi Rong was really seriously ill and unable to move, he could go directly to Chi Rong.

Chi Yan didn't believe that Chi Rong suddenly became "excessively worried" and "seriously ill in bed". That night, he clearly had no reaction to Chi Yuanshan's death, and he looked energetic, so how could he suddenly become ill.

But the housekeeper took a look at him and Xu Rui, respectfully led them to the side hall, and then bowed to Xu Rui: "Master Xu, can you avoid it for a while?"

Chi Yan said to him: "Xu Rui is my dead friend. You can just say it."

The butler put on a troubled expression.

Seeing this, Xu Rui stood up and walked out, waving to Chi Yan: "Okay, I'll go out to get some air first, and if they dare to do you harm, I'll report it to your third brother."

When he walked out, the butler suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, he is gone."
