Feast of Rebirth

Yun Congfeng met other servants who were close to Ji Hong, and the information he got was similar: the young master used to be gentle and gentle, he was a good person, but recently he was a little weird.

As for Ji Hong's wife, Shi Tinglan, Yun Congfeng observed for a few days, but he still didn't see anything wrong. He usually just worked as a female celebrity, read books, and his life was dull. He couldn't figure out what Ji Hong was. How come it feels wrong.

But Ji Hong's suspicion became more and more serious. He knew that Yun Congfeng was secretly observing Ji's house, and he came here every day to ask questions. A scene, let him relax a little bit, so as not to cause any trouble if he really jumps over the wall in a hurry.

"So that's why you asked me to pretend to be an expert?" Hu Yan was expressionless after listening.

Yun Congfeng bit the bullet and persuaded him: "Just help me this time, he knows me well, so it's not easy to fool him. Only you, he has never met, and your strength is enough to convince him."

Hu Yan looked at him with malicious intentions: "I'll help you, you have to give me something, right? Ask me to help without any reward?"

Yun Congfeng couldn't think of anything that could be exchanged. After thinking for a while, he said awkwardly, "How about I make you a promise? From now on, as long as your request is not excessive, I will try my best to fulfill it."

Hu Yan's heart skipped a beat. At the beginning, Yun Congfeng gave him gifts several times, but each time it was hard to explain. Later, he himself realized that the things he gave were too self-righteous and useless, so he simply gave a promise: if it can be done Do it all under the premise.Hu Yan used this to tease him once, and asked him to meow a few times, and he was not allowed to stop if it didn't sound like it—Yun Congfeng felt embarrassed, so he did it anyway.

It's so cute to imitate a cat's meowing with a red face.

"It's okay." He smiled maliciously, making Yun Congfeng uneasy. Did he dig a hole for himself?

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, Yun Congfeng bit the bullet and agreed, and the next step was to study how to deceive Ji Hong's trust.Yun Congfeng deliberated on this script for a long time before finalizing it. After careful preparation, he invited Ji Hong out of the house, and mysteriously told him that an expert wanted to see him, and he might be able to help.

Ji Hong was dubious, followed Yun Congfeng to a teahouse.Hu Yan, who pretended to be an "expert" or a white-bearded grandfather, made the final inspection preparations to confirm that his evil spirit had been completely disguised without any leaks. He pressed the brim of his hat, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes. repose.

Footsteps came closer, and Hu Yan heard Ji Hong's hesitant voice: "Is it true?"

"Whether it's true or not, you can judge for yourself." Yun Congfeng's voice could not be called gentle, but was already very patient.

The door opened, Ji Hong came in, stopped and looked at the "expert" for a while.She was dressed in a blue-gray robe, leaning slightly on the chair, and the black gauze hanging down from the bamboo hat was down to the neck, completely concealing her appearance.

Ji Hong sat down opposite Hu Yan. Through the black veil, Hu Yan could see his panicked demeanor, full of anxiety and distrust towards him when he opened his mouth: "Master, can you really help me?" ?”

"What do you think, how can I help you, that you trust me?"

Ji Hong opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.Hu Yan is not in a hurry, wait, the old god is here.

After a long silence, Ji Hong finally said, "I want to open my eyes and see for myself."

Hu Yan secretly smiled, and sure enough, this guy only believed in himself: "That's good."

The ceremony of opening the sky eye is not complicated, and even ordinary people can open it for a short period of time after doing enough homework, and the Ji family does not lack powerful magicians, but Ji Hong is very suspicious, and he doesn't trust his family members at all.

There is also a time limit for opening the sky eye, it must be opened at midnight when the yin energy is at its heaviest. Hu Yan has already prepared the props and asked Ji Hong to go back first. When the time comes, he will come to find him.

Ji Hong readily agreed, and at the moment when he left in the car, Hu Yan felt that he was a little more energetic, probably thinking that he would soon see the result he wanted to see.

The quality of black yarn is not good, and the smell is quite strong.Hu Yan was wearing airtight clothes, he tore them off and complained to Yun Congfeng: "Where did you buy the gauze from?"

Yun Congfeng was stunned: "What... what's wrong?"

Hu Yan didn't answer directly, but directly spread the black veil and covered his face: "Smell it! Smell it!"

Yun Congfeng grabbed the black gauze and sniffed it. It really didn't smell very good, and he was even more confused: "I smelled it when I bought it. It's not smelly?"

Hu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Did the yarn seller change another one for you?"

Yun Congfeng was stunned: "It seems so. She said that many people have touched and smelled this one, and it's not clean. Replace it with a good one."

Hu Yan hummed: "You, you!" He even boasted that he was already familiar with the worldly ways of the world, but he was still a goose after all.

"Then what should I do? Can it still be used after washing?" Yun Congfeng pinched the gauze and thought for a while, first pinched the water formula to moisten it, and rubbed it twice, unexpectedly, the edge of the gauze was torn off immediately with a lot of force.He unfolded it and saw, good guy, he was completely fooled.

"Come on, I can't have this thing anymore." Hu Yan exhaled, "Go back and wash it."

Yun Congfeng looked gloomy, and went back to Qingping Division to wash his hands first. After washing for a long time, his hands were still slightly gray, so he defaulted to washing them clean, and then wiped them dry indiscriminately.

When the evening was approaching Zi, Hu Yan opened his eyes to Ji Hong in the side room of Ji's house.His mana is powerful, and it is easy to open the eyes of the sky.After receiving the ceremony, Ji Hong looked with his eyes, saw a white shadow flashing by the wall for a moment, exclaimed, then settled down again, clasped his fists together: "Thank you, Master."

Hu Yan said coldly: "Go, go and see for yourself. If my apprentice hadn't asked me for help, I wouldn't have come to help you."

Ji Hong couldn't bear it now, and eagerly wanted to take a look: "Xiaosheng is very grateful, and there will be a big thank you in the future!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Hu Yan went outside the house in a flash, pulled down the veil first to take a breath, Yun Congfeng came out from the corner silently: "Go and see?"

"Okay." Hu Yan wrapped the black gauze around his wrists, stomped his feet and climbed up to the roof, followed by Yun Congfeng, not too close to Ji Hong on the ground.

Ji Hong pushed open the door, and the room was pitch-black. The servant led him with a small dim lantern, and the end of the road was the bedroom.I have been married for more than a month, and most of the red decorations in the house have been removed, but the Double Happiness characters are still everywhere, reflecting a little muddy glimmer under the dim light, making it even more intrusive.

When he came out, Shi Tinglan was still sound asleep, and he was careful not to disturb him.It was getting closer and closer to the bedroom, it was too quiet, there was no sound.

At the door of the bedroom, the servant cannot enter.Handing over the small lamp to him, Ji Hong held the lantern, gathered his coat, and pushed the door open.

Half of the bed curtain was still loosely piled on the bed, as it was when he left. His wife Shi Tinglan was lying on her side on the bed, fast asleep.

Ji Hong hung the small lamp on the copper hook on the wall, and the sound of the hook falling was clear and not too loud.

Then, Ji Hong accidentally kicked a plum blossom stool.

Shi Tinglan was awakened as Ji Hong wished, exhaled long and let out a dissatisfied muffled sound: "Mmm..."

"Did it bother you?" Ji Hong calmly took off his coat, opened his eyes and tried to look at that side.

Shi Tinglan yawned: "It's okay." She didn't make a sound.

Ji Hong approached and took a closer look. The newly opened eyes were slightly hot, so that it hurt a little. Shi Tinglan's face seemed to be emitting a faint light in the darkness.

no change.

How can it be?

Ji Hong was in a state of confusion for a moment, he stopped for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the key to the problem, he felt that his intuition was right, and the celestial eye opened by the master was indeed effective, but why couldn't he see it?He is confused.

The lights never went out.

Shi Tinglan woke up again in a daze, and opened her eyes: "Husband?"

This sound pulled Ji Honghun back. Ji Hong collected himself and said softly with all his strength: "You wait, I'll go and turn off the lights."

He turned around to blow out the lamp on the copper hook. The moment he blew it out, the familiar feeling like a cold thorn piercing into his back suddenly came again, making him feel cold all over his body.

Ji Hong turned his head abruptly, Shi Tinglan was still sleeping peacefully, with an unusually peaceful face.

Everything in the bedroom under the eyes of the sky is invisible, and there is no one else.

He took a deep breath, told himself that everything just now was just an illusion, approached the bed, pulled the quilt and lay down, the quilt was a little cold.When he was lying down, there was a slight sound on the Babu bed, and Shi Tinglan moved closer to him, so close that Ji Hong could smell her hair.

It seems wonderful.

Ji Hongxin couldn't make up his mind no matter what, people say seeing is believing, what he saw can't fool him, so what went wrong?

Thinking about it, he fell asleep hazily.

In the dream, he saw the nightmare scene that he had seen countless times: he was half-sinking in the boundless mud, unable to move, sinking slowly, the pressure of suffocation hit his throat inch by inch, no matter how much he called for help, no one answered .

Sink, sink.He already knew that this was a dream, but he got deeper and deeper, and there was nowhere to escape.The ankle was suddenly held by unknown under the mud, and it was dragged down.Soon the mud covered his mouth, nose, and vision. He struggled to call for help, and it seemed that someone was shouting his name in his ears, until there was a loud noise like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, and he woke up suddenly.

The room was brightly lit, and the room was full of servants and maids, and the air still had a lingering smell of medicine.He was gasping for breath, and the smell of the medicine penetrated into the lung duct along with the exhalation, causing an inexplicable pain.

"Husband, are you awake?" Shi Tinglan half-kneeled in front of the bed, with worried and earnest eyes, which made him feel dazed for a while.

"I..." He opened his mouth, and found that he was drenched in sweat, and the silk clothes were sticky to his skin, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Get a basin of water quickly." Shi Tinglan stood up, staggering.Two maids came out in response and hurriedly brought a basin of water.Shi Tinglan moistened the towel herself, and asked the idlers to go back to rest first, and let her deal with it alone.

Ji Hong reluctantly took off his clothes and asked Shi Tinglan to help wipe his body. After wiping his upper body and lower body, he lifted up his trousers, and suddenly saw a faint red grip mark on his ankle.

He flinched.

"What's the matter, husband?"

"No, nothing."

Ji Hong tried his best to keep calm, Shi Tinglan rubbed the towel, twisted the clean water and then wiped it up the ankle.

He clearly saw that the size of the grip on his ankle was almost the same size as Shi Tinglan's palm.
