The Haunted

Chapter 5 The Man Who Fell into the Water

I don't know if it's because of psychological effects or because he was too tired, or because the ashes of Mr. Ye San really protected him from all evils. This night, Chi Yan felt that he slept very peacefully. He had no dreams, and he didn't wake up like a dream like usual. Feeling the prying eyes from all directions and always on tenterhooks.

This sleep made up for what was owed before. After waking up, it was already twelve o'clock in the noon. Chi Yan felt refreshed. He went to the kitchen to cook a pot of instant noodles. On Ye Yingzhi's altar.Because of his unique physique and experience from childhood to adulthood, Chi Yan believed in these things, since he asked for Mr. Ye's protection, he did it sincerely.

He put down his face and confessed: "Mr. Ye was wronged. I got up late so you didn't get up early. Come and have a simple lunch with me."

After more than three months, the weather gradually turned cold, but Chi Yan remained calm and peaceful, and he rarely had nightmares, which could be called retreating from all evil.

Chi Yan's life is very regular, his personality is relatively home, and he doesn't need to socialize for work. After getting rid of the worry that his body protection spirit jade gradually failed and was entangled by ghosts and ghosts during this period, his life stabilized.Going to work every morning, and coming home from get off work at night to cook, he felt more and more that Daoist Zhang's method worked. He was blessed by Ye Yingzhi's ashes. Forgetting to give a small portion to Ye Sangong's memorial tablet, it's as if there is an extra mouth in the family and an extra mouth to eat.

But what he couldn't see was that a black figure in the shape of a human was always following behind him, and the outline was getting deeper and deeper.

When he was eating, the black shadow did not move the offerings on the table, but just sat and looked at him; when he was taking a bath, the black shadow stood behind the thin water curtain and waited quietly; Rolling to sleep comfortably, I bought a 1.5-meter bed, but it can only take up half of the space when I really fall asleep. distance.

This house is no longer lived alone.But Chi Yan is immersed in the illusion that he can't see or feel, and still dreams of finding a cure for his life.

Hanging the spirit jade and the small porcelain vase containing the ashes on his chest was not very comfortable. Chi Yan tried to take off the spirit jade and put it in the middle of the briefcase, only hanging the small porcelain vase. Sometimes he didn’t carry the briefcase, but everything was normal. Nothing happened.So he was more confident and bold, and put Lingyu in the drawer of his bedside table.

On a weekend in November, Chi Yan's high school classmate Xu Jiang invited him out to play.

Chi Yan University was in a foreign country, but Xu Jiang went to the local Sumin University. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he went on to study for a doctorate at this school. The place where he made an appointment with Chi Yan was also close to his school.

The campus of Sumin University is already close to the suburbs. It is said that standing on the roof of the teaching building can see the golden crops.Not far from the school is Sumin Lake. Although it is an artificial lake, it covers a large area, and the lake is naturally not shallow. It is said that even the water near the shore is covered with soft mud. It is difficult to rescue if it falls. After so many years There have also been many accidents, some slipping, and some deliberately seeking death.

Chi Yan and Xu Jiang had a close relationship when they were in high school. After dinner, they walked along the lake to see the scenery, chatting about their current life and their old high school classmates.

The scenery at this time is very bleak, the plants by the lake have turned yellow, the wind is rustling, and there is a feeling of desolation.Chi Yan came out wearing only a windbreaker, feeling cold, just about to ask to find a coffee shop near the school to sit in, when he saw Xu Jiang stretching his neck and looking at something.

Chi Yan followed his gaze and saw a circle of people surrounded by the boss on the other side of the lake, with police cars and ambulances also parked.

Xu Jiang sighed: "This is another accident."

He likes to join in the fun, regardless of whether it's good or bad, he wants to take a look at it. Although he already guessed that there was probably an accident, he also pulled Chi Yan to speed up his pace to go there.

If it was normal, it would be too late for Chi Yan to hide from such excitement, and he would definitely not take the initiative to join in.But it is said that it is easy to go from being frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. However, as the enshrining of Ye Yingzhi's memorial tablet got longer, the role of Ye Sangong's ashes gradually became more and more obvious. It turned out that nothing strange happened, and such a complete peace and stability even in the past He had never met a group of youthful young people with spirit jade guarding him and mixed with a group of energetic young people at school, and occasionally even made Chi Yan start to doubt whether his experience of the previous 20 years was really an illusion.

After an unprecedentedly comfortable life, he subconsciously and unconsciously let go of his defenses, and now he is following Xu Jiang.

There was a person lying on the ground, half of his body was covered with a white cloth, and a person who looked like a professional was squatting on the ground to check something. From Chi Yan's angle, he could just see the person's swollen and white body. A little bit of the tip of the nose was red from the cold because it was out of the water.

Xu Jiang glanced at him but didn't dare to look again, he quickly pulled Chi Yan back, and said, "Let's go, let's go, oh, blame me, I've almost forgotten that you are the least courageous in high school." At that time, such things were kept far away, and I dared not even listen to ghost stories."

Boys and girls of their age at that time were full of curiosity and were particularly interested in all kinds of ghosts and ghosts. The entertainment activities were also naive than today's children. He has done things like Die Fairy before, and Chi Yan was also dragged to a ghost story meeting, but he was so frightened that he had a fever for three days, after that he never participated in such activities again.

Chi Yan thought to himself that it wasn't that he was timid, and that the fever wasn't all because of being scared. At that time, a group of classmates were sitting around telling ghost stories, and he could feel a particularly strong sense of spying, and faintly saw that there was still standing behind them. A circle of "people" were also listening quietly.

His grandparents have always doted on him, only that time his grandma reprimanded him severely after hearing about it.Chi Yan felt guilty when he thought of his grandma exhausting himself to save his own life. Since then, he has acted more cautiously, staying away from all activities that are considered "death" to him.

Fortunately, things are much better now.

Just as Chi Yan was thinking, he was pulled by Xu Jiang and turned around to leave. At this moment, he felt as if someone was watching him.He followed his intuition and found a "person" standing outside the crowd of onlookers. That person's whole body was white and swollen, and only the tip of his nose was red.

"He" was looking at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan's heart felt cold, and he subconsciously touched the Lingyu on his chest, which was a habit he had developed for more than ten years - what he got was a small cold porcelain bottle.

Chi Yan is just physically weak, not a psychic with yin and yang eyes in movies and novels. Under normal circumstances, he can't see ghosts. When he is relatively weak or in a certain environment, he can see faint shadows. There is only one situation when seeing that kind of thing clearly-the thing is staring at him.Usually, that thing would keep up with him under such circumstances, but it was hard to say how long it would last and whether it would hurt him.

A Taoist priest who worshiped when he was a child told him that those are things with deep obsessions. Once they catch up with him, it is not easy to ask for help.Not everything can become a ghost. Those kinds of things are very evil and negative existences. Most of the so-called "ghosts" are not transformed after death, but just borrowed human form after gaining popularity.Only those who are extremely evil or have a lot of resentment have a very low possibility of turning into ghosts that can stay in the world for a long time.

On the contrary, a person may have a "spirit" left behind. When Zhang Daochang saw him, he said that the "spirit" left by his deceased relatives has been secretly protecting and reminding him.But the "spirit" has nothing to do with the person itself, it is more like a special relic.

All in all, that kind of thing is inherently evil, and it is more likely to harm someone after it catches up with someone. Chi Yan's previous experience also proved this point.

At this time, he secretly regretted in his heart, and scolded himself for dying, so he shouldn't join in this kind of fun, but it didn't help.The moment he touched the small porcelain bottle, he remembered that Lingyu had been put into the bedside table by himself. These days, he had relied on the blessing of Ye Yingzhi's ashes, but he didn't know why the third son Ye didn't protect himself this time.

When he returned to the Taoist temple to fulfill his wish, because he was curious about why a person's ashes could have such a great effect, he once specifically asked Daoist Zhang for advice. It is an extremely evil thing, and if you carry it with you, ordinary ghosts naturally dare not get close.As for why the ashes of Ye Yingzhi, an ordinary person who did not commit crimes and was not a heinous person, could be so evil, Zhang Daochang also said frankly that he did not know, and he also learned this method from ancient books. He was sure of his success, and he was caught up by Chi Yan by chance, so he let him have a try.

Chi Yan swallowed nervously, rubbed the porcelain bottle with his hands, and wondered to himself, could it be that this time this thing is far more evil than ordinary ghosts, the Third Young Master can't be suppressed by him?
