The Haunted

This is the best thing about Chi Yan's current job. There is not much work pressure, and there are not many tasks.However, he does not dare to look for a job that is stressful and often requires overtime, because he knows that if he does not have enough rest time and is mentally ill, those things will be easier to get entangled in, and it is good to be able to live in peace and stability like this.

He drove directly to Xiqingshan outside the city. There is a Taoist temple on Xiqingshan, which is well-known in the province, and it is usually enough to worship.There is a Taoist priest surnamed Zhang in the temple, who is quite capable. Chi Yan once asked him for advice when choosing a house and furnishing the rooms.

Halfway through, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and then there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance. Chi Yan felt a little uneasy, and stepped on the gas pedal.He has always disliked cloudy and rainy days without sunshine. Those things are especially rampant at this time, and the suburbs are sparsely populated and popular, which is even more unfavorable to him.

Fortunately, it was early morning at this time, everything was renewed and full of vitality, Chi Yan didn't dare to stop when he saw a figure stretching out his hand to hail a car on the side of the road, so he speeded up and rushed over.That person didn't dare to bump into him either. I don't know if it was because of the morning or because he was thinking too much. That person really wanted to hitch a ride—although the possibility of a lonely hitchhiker appearing on this kind of national highway is very small.

He is like an ordinary person in a supernatural film, usually he can't see strange things, but if he wants to see those things for various purposes, he can naturally see them.

After entering the Taoist temple, Chi Yan felt relaxed from the inside out. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the sense of spying and malice here was slightly relieved.

Because it was a working day, there were not many people in the temple, so Chi Yan walked to the inner courtyard with ease, and knocked on the wooden door of the second room on the left.

There lived a young Daoist boy of fifteen or sixteen years old in the door. He was a distant relative of Zhang Daochang and also an apprentice of Zhang Daochang. He usually studied in the city and returned to Guanli to help on weekends and winter and summer vacations.

Daotong already recognized Chi Yan, so he was not surprised to see him coming, so he said naturally, "I'll go tell Master."

Zhang Daoren looks to be in his 40s, a bit wealthy, and there is still a big gap between the image of a Taoist and fairy in the public imagination, but Chi Yan knows that he has some real skills.When he first came back to work in Sumin City, he still didn't live in the current apartment, because the apartment left by his parents has been rented by tenants. Naturally, he didn't move back, but rented an apartment near the unit. Room and hall.

The house looked transparent and bright, but it was actually not as clean as it appeared on the surface. After living there for two weeks, Chi Yan got entangled in something—although he could feel the things around him, he often There are weird situations like this morning when I'm low on energy, but it's not often that I get entangled in a certain specific "something" like a horror movie.

When Chi Yan was looking for a solution everywhere, Daoist Zhang finally helped him solve the problem and chose a new residence for him.Chi Yan felt that it was also during that time that Lingyu protected him from life and death three times in a row, after which the protective effect seemed to become weaker and weaker.

Chi Yan explained the purpose of coming to Taoist Zhang, and told him about the situation he had encountered in recent days, including this morning, and asked him expectantly if there were other objects or methods to protect him instead of Lingyu.But Chi Yan also knew in his heart that the possibility of this was extremely slim. Even though it had been many years, he still vaguely remembered how many people his grandparents entrusted and took so much effort to find out about this Lingyu. By passing on such a Lingyu, she can save Chi Yan's life with relative peace of mind.

I want to know that similar jade is not common, and it is certainly not easy to get something of the same level as it that can keep him safe.Most of the people who can hide this kind of thing are not short of life and money. Even if he exhausts his family's wealth, he may not be able to get another piece.Daoist Zhang can provide him with some clues today, and then give him pointers on ways to save his life temporarily.

Daoist Zhang did not disappoint him, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's also a coincidence, if you came two days ago, I might not be able to point you to a clear way, but I really know a way when you come today."

Daoist Zhang took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it twice, handed it to Chi Yan and said, "Do you know this person?"

There is a photo of a young man on the phone. He is wearing a clean white shirt and black trousers, and a leather watch with a slightly retro style on his hand.No matter the appearance or temperament of this person, he seemed to be outstanding, and he was easy to leave an impression on others. Chi Yan felt a little familiar, thought for a while, and said, "Ye Yingzhi?"

The Ye family is very powerful in Linshi Shiming City, and naturally they are also very famous.Shiming City is the economic center of the east, more prosperous than Sumin City, so his uncle gradually moved his company headquarters to Shiming City, and took his grandparents there after Chi Yan went to college.Chi Yan often went back to accompany the elderly during summer vacation, so he had some impression of this face.

Zhang Daochang tapped the phone screen, exited the photo, and handed him the phone again.I saw a piece of news on it, with the headline saying "At [-] am today, Ye Yingzhi of the Ye Group passed away due to illness".

Chi Yan vaguely remembered that his uncle's company seemed to still have business dealings with the Ye family, and he also forgot when he heard someone mention this Mr. Ye Yingzhi, and people who knew him in Shiming City called him "Ye Yingzhi." "Third Young Master", it sounds like the third child in the row, but he is the actual controller of the Ye family.It's just that I heard that he was in poor health since he was a child. Some people who came and went with him took care not to disturb him, let alone offend him. Now he died suddenly of illness. Although he died young, it was not without warning.It's just that he has never met Ye Yingzhi in person, let alone dealt with him.

Chi Yan looked carefully at the photo attached to the report again, and sure enough, even in front of the camera, he could still find that his face was a little pale.It seems that Ye Yingzhi seldom took pictures. Among all the reports that mentioned him, this is the only clear photo.

Daoist Zhang looked at his expression and asked, "Do you know him?"

Chi Yan shook his head: "I don't know... I know him, but he doesn't know me."

He looked at Taoist Zhang: "Why did the Taoist show me this?"

Zhang Daozhang said: "I sensed that you should come this morning. When I was watching the news, I happened to see this Mr. Ye's photo, and found that he seemed to have the appearance of the legendary evil ghost. I was not sure at first, after all, the appearance of the evil ghost It is rare to see him once in a thousand years, and after checking his life experience, combined with his birthday and death date, and considering that he had an extraordinary life but died young, it is even more certain."

Chi Yan asked suspiciously: "What is the appearance of an evil ghost?"

Zhang Daozhang said: "I have never met it before, but I have only seen the records. In the records, people with evil ghosts are full of evil spirits all over their bodies. Ghosts and gods retreat, and their fates are wide open and closed without fear, but because they are ghosts, they are not Human life often dies young."

Daoist Zhang has dealt with Chi Yan many times, and he is more familiar with him, and his conversation is more casual, but at this moment, he pondered for a moment before saying: "When I saw this Mr. Ye, I thought it was your life that deserved to die. You should catch up to save your life. But I didn’t know this method by accident from the inscription handed down, it’s not orthodox, I can tell you, but you can’t tell others that I told you.”

The condition is very simple, even if he took the initiative to tell others about such a strange thing, others would not believe it.Chi Yan was eager to save lives, and immediately promised: "Okay, I will definitely not say anything."

Daoist Zhang nodded, and said: "You find a way to get the ashes of Mr. Ye, take it with you, and enshrine his tablet at home every day, you can suppress those ordinary demons and ghosts from daring to come close."

The method of taking human ashes and carrying them with you sounds a bit weird, and Chi Yan couldn't help hesitating: "This..."

Zhang Daochang didn't answer, he turned around and took two safety charms and handed them to him: "It's up to you whether this method works or not, you can try it if you want."

In fact, Chi Yan's heart has already been moved. The world he has faced since he can remember is different from others. With the loss of Lingyu's aura, it will only become more dangerous in the future.Anyway, the situation is already like this, it's better to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, just give it a try.

But he still asked: "Is this going to affect that Mr. Ye?"

Daoist Zhang waved his hand, and said casually: "It's not a lonely ghost. Most people are dead, so what effect can it have?"
