The Haunted

Familiar words are like a small copper hammer, hitting Chi Yan's heart word by word.

Chi Yan's heart suddenly rose, and he pouted his throat with a bad feeling. He felt that his throat was a little dry, and finally he just said softly: "Da Song, there is something wrong with this case, you should find an excuse first. Is it okay to participate? Please take a few days off to take care of Juanjuan at home." He can't control too many people, but he hopes that his relatives and friends around him can be well.

Song Jin didn't respond positively: "Ruler, you mean something like that is causing trouble? Well... I will talk to Master and the others, and I will pay more attention to it, don't worry."

Chi Yan sighed, knowing that Song Jin would definitely not leave the job easily, and he was not sure that the current situation was what he thought, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he chatted with his friend briefly, and asked After learning about the current situation of Tao Juanjuan and the fetus in her womb, Song Jin left.

Grandpa came out of his bedroom, walked to the balcony of the living room with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside, and muttered, "It looks like it's going to rain."

City R was already rainy this season, Chi Yan washed Song Jin's used teacups, and responded casually: "It's okay, Da Song has a car."

Grandpa was right, the heavy rain poured down on City R that night.There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and there are even fewer cars than usual. Lying on the bed, you can hear the continuous sound of rain, the occasional car wading through the flooded street, and the rustling of trees and branches when they sway in the wind and rain. loud sound.

In this noisy but extraordinarily quiet natural chord, there were waves of light and rhythmic knocks on the door outside the house.

It was one o'clock in the middle of the night, and Chi Yan couldn't fall asleep because he was thinking about the words Song Jin said repeatedly. He was playing with his mobile phone. When he heard the sound, he stopped his hands and listened carefully for a while—— Someone was indeed knocking on his door.

He sat up, got out of bed and walked towards the dark living room, feeling a little uneasy and looking forward to it.Chi Yan walked to the door, opened a wooden door inside, looked out from the peephole through the anti-theft door, and vaguely saw a tall and straight figure dressed in black.

He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and opened the security door.

Cool air and steam rushed in with the man.The man closed the door with his backhand, and immediately embraced him in his arms at the entrance.

Chi Yan also took advantage of the situation and hugged the man, sticking to him with some dependence: "Brother Yingzhi, why are you here so late?"

Ye Yingzhi let out a "hmm", but didn't answer, and asked instead, "Why haven't you slept so late?"

Grandpa is still resting in the room. It is reasonable to say that the old man does not need to sleep now, but just like morning exercises, he still keeps the habit of resting at night.Chi Yan was afraid of disturbing his grandfather, so he led Ye Yingzhi into his room.

There was no light in the bedroom, only a lamp on the desk was on.Ye Yingzhi took off his coat and hung it in Chi Yan's closet, sat on the bed and began to unbutton his shirt, Chi Yan sat beside him and helped him unbutton, saying while unbuttoning, "I just can't sleep."

"Can't sleep..." Ye Yingzhi repeated his words, leaned back slightly, hummed softly from his nose, reached out and pressed Chi Yan's back to himself, "Well, then take good care of him tonight Waiting on my brother, I can fall asleep."

Chi Yan was angry that he had learned so badly, but also felt sorry for his illness, always thinking that Ye Yingzhi was not in good health and had to follow him, even he couldn't bear to be angry.It was as if Ye Yingzhi obediently gave whatever he wanted, coaxing Ye Yingzhi to his fullest, after tossing and tossing like this for a long time, he actually fell asleep as Ye Yingzhi said, and he slept soundly and deeply.

But Chi Yan was worried about his grandfather and didn't dare to snooze too much, so he woke up at 08:30 in the morning, and after all, he only slept for less than three hours.He introduced Ye Yingzhi to his grandfather, and told the old man that this is his very good friend, and he would be able to send his grandfather away in two days without any accidents.

Grandpa looked at Ye Yingzhi and nodded with a smile, without saying anything.

After breakfast, Chi Yan was washing dishes in the kitchen alone, but grandpa came back quietly, stood behind him and whispered, "Xiaoyan, tell grandpa, what is the origin of your friend?"

Chi Yan thought for a while and replied: "His family is the same as the Chi family, and they are also celestial masters. But he is much better than a three-legged cat like me, and he is also a very nice person. He grew up with me, grandpa Just rest assured."

However, there was still a lingering worry in the old man's cloudy eyes: "But Xiaoyan, grandpa looks at you, Lao Li and Xiao Song, they are all human, just like you; but you can't see that your friend What it looks like, I saw it was a dark mass, full of ghost and yin qi... Grandpa is a little scared, it's okay if grandpa doesn't leave, it's okay if he can't be reincarnated, but Xiao Yan, don't provoke him for grandpa Something that shouldn't be provoked."

Chi Yan hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, Grandpa, brother Yingzhi and his family practice the ghost way, it may look a little different, but there will be no problem." He probably already provoked Ye Yingzhi.

Seeing Chi Yan's closeness and trust, and listening to his explanation, the worry in the old man's eyes lightened a little, but another indescribable worry in his heart became heavier—it was just the old man's intuition, he just intuitively I don't think it's a good thing. If my grandson is so close to that thing, I'm afraid it will be eaten to nothing.

But just as Chi Yan couldn't persuade Song Jin to leave his job because of his own bad premonition, grandfather couldn't persuade Chi Yan to leave Ye Yingzhi based on his own intuition, so he could only remind him to be careful and not trust others too much.

It's not too late to send grandpa away, Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan discussed sending grandpa away at midnight.Chi Yan asked his grandfather's opinion, and the old man agreed, but he still couldn't let go of Chi Yan, and repeatedly told him to be careful and take care of himself.

Chi Yan's family lacked some materials needed to set up the magic circle, so Ye Yingzhi had someone send them over.But he didn't seem to want his subordinates to enter Chi Yan's house, so he wanted to go down to fetch it himself, but Chi Yan refused when he offered to fetch it for him.

Ye Yingzhi had just left for a minute when someone knocked on the door again. The knocking sound was very hasty, it didn't look like Ye Yingzhi left and returned.Chi Yan wondered who the visitor was, and opened the door, because it was evening and the neighbors were all at home, and most gangsters would not dare to commit crimes at this time, so he was not so vigilant.

Standing outside the door was a young man with disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes. There were two obvious bruises under his eyes.Chi Yan glanced twice before confirming that the person in front of him turned out to be Xu Rui.

Xu Rui seemed very excited when he saw Chi Yan, and quickly rushed into the door, as if he was afraid of something, he quickly closed the anti-theft door, and then let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes turned red when he looked at Chi Yan, But he still forced a smile: "Young Master Chi, I finally escaped."

Chi Yan poured him a cup of hot water and let him sit on the chair: "What's the matter? Take your time, what happened?"

Xu Rui's lips trembled a few times, looking at the dense white air above the cup, his eyes were a little empty: "It's all gone... everyone in the Xu family, except Xiaoxin who came out early and me who barely escaped, are gone." .”

He suddenly grabbed Chi Yan's hand on the table and shook it: "Young Master Chi, you have to be careful! Ye Yingzhi is no longer a human! Yinshan became like that because he."

The place where the Chi, Ye, and Xu families live in seclusion is called Hidden Mountain by the three families.

Chi Yan froze all of a sudden, Xu Rui's hand was very cold, Chi Yan felt as if he was being held by a block of ice, beads of sweat were already dripping from the palm of his hand.But he had no time to take care of it, instead he grabbed Xu Rui's hand, stared at him firmly and said, "What did you say?"

"Ye Yingzhi is already dead. It is because of him that Yinshan has such a strong ghostly aura that can reverse yin and yang. Ah Yan, believe me, we found Ye Yingzhi's own tomb in the Ye family's ancestral grave. Ye Yingzhi went back when it was time to dig the grave for coffin inspection, and then the Ye family arrested us, and I escaped with the help of my parents and uncle, and I was the only one who escaped... Chi Yan saw it with my own eyes, Ye Yingzhi is really not a human." His hands were trembling slightly all the time, and what he said was confused.

Chi Yan patted him lightly: "Xu Rui, calm down and speak slowly. What do you mean by what you said? Why do you say that Yinshan's ghostly aura is due to brother Yingzhi? What's the matter with opening the coffin?" Xu Rui's current appearance is obviously not normal, and the credibility of his words has been discounted. Naturally, Chi Yan doesn't believe that Ye Yingzhi is dead or something, so there must be some misunderstandings, and we have to wait for Xu Rui to clarify. OK.

"That's right... I told my father what you had guessed at the beginning. He and the uncle used the magic weapon at home to observe that the hidden mountain was indeed covered by a thick layer of ghost energy. Finally, they found out the source of the ghost energy. It's on the Ye family, Ye Yingzhi."

Listening to Xu Rui's words, Chi Yan suddenly remembered that the person who used Chi Lin's shell had also said that brother Yingzhi had something to do with the ghost energy there.But what that thing said was that Ye Yingzhi continued his life by absorbing ghost energy, Ye Yingzhi was born with the help of ghost energy; but what Xu Rui said meant that Ye Yingzhi was already dead, and he was the source of ghost energy. Ghost Qi was born from Ye Yingzhi.There is a contradiction between these two statements in terms of cause and effect, so one of the judgments must be wrong, or both of them are wrong.But what is certain is that brother Yingzhi has some connection with that ghost, and he will have to ask him when he comes back.

I just heard Xu Rui continue: "However, ordinary ghosts have such influence and ability. They can pretend to be celestial masters for so many years without being discovered, and even change the luck of a spiritual land, turning it into a hell scene where yin and yang are reversed. My uncle and father suspected that Ye Yingzhi had transformed into an extremely evil and unprecedented ghost emperor after death, in order to verify this and increase the bargaining chip against him, they secretly searched for Ye Yingzhi's tomb."

Xu Rui was much calmer this time, and his words became more organized. Chi Yan frowned and listened quietly, when suddenly he saw Grandpa leaning out half of his body from the bedroom, and beckoned to him quietly.

Xu Rui turned his back to Grandpa and didn't see him.

Chi Yan stood up and stuffed the hot teacup into Xu Rui's hand: "You warm it up first, I'll go to the bathroom."

Xu Rui nodded and said nothing, holding his teacup in a daze, his tiredness could not be concealed in his brows.

Chi Yan walked to Grandpa's side, the old man pulled Chi Yan into the room, and said in a low voice, "Little Yan, be careful, Grandpa can tell that your friend is no longer human just like Grandpa."
