An Chengbo got off the train with a suitcase in his hand. The train did not go directly to Splendid City. He had to change trains and bump around for another two or three hours.
He left home early and came back after such a long time, the traffic in Fairview City was still underdeveloped as before.
Of course, the transportation here refers to land transportation, and the water transportation here is quite developed.
Because of this, An Chengbo asked the Railway Bureau, and they have no plans to build a railway in Jinxiu City in the last five years.
To be honest, An Chengbo didn't really want to come back, he finally got out of that feudal family and enjoyed the free air, so he was reluctant to let him come back.
But after receiving a telegram from Mr. An and learning of An Siyue's death, An Chengbo felt that it was necessary for him to come back.
Although his relationship with An Siyue is not very close, he still has to see her for the last time.
There is one more thing that he has thought about for many years and must do.
"After so many years, Splendid City is actually not much different from when I left." After getting out of the car, An Chengbo took a deep breath and looked around.
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs." A middle-aged man who got out of the car behind him said so.
Splendid City is small, and all facilities are complete.
"Brother Lu, thank you for accompanying me this trip." An Chengbo looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously.
The identity of this middle-aged man is none other than a celestial master he met by chance.
Not long after An Chengbo left home, he became ill. He sought many doctors, but they couldn't find the illness, let alone cure it.
It just so happened that he was renting an apartment with Lu Tianshi at that time, and Tianshi took a look at him, and said with certainty that he was haunted by resentment, and that the sins committed by his ancestors were finally retribution on him.
He can't solve this problem, he can only temporarily suppress it. After all, if there is a grievance, there is a debtor, and the creditor must really be willing to let him go.
An Chengbo came back this time to solve this hidden danger in him.
And Wu Zhu, I don't know if she is still staying in Anjia after so many years
No one came to pick him up, and An Chengbo was not surprised, because he didn't tell anyone that he was coming back today.
He first went back to An's mansion, and then turned around and went to the mansion after learning that everyone was in the mansion.
When the servant saw them, his eyes straightened, and he was stunned for a while before reporting loudly: "The second young master is back—!"
After a period of chaos, the whole family gathered in the living room.
An Chengbo's eyes swept over Mr. An, the young man looked at Chang'an again, and finally asked in a deep voice, "Where's the third brother?"
He was not very familiar with this gloomy and withdrawn younger brother, but it was strange that he didn't show up alone.
Mr. An snorted coldly. He didn't say that he was locked up. He just ordered the servant: "Go and tell him to come down, and just say that his second brother is back."
The servant nodded yes.
He went up to the second floor, stood in front of An Chengya's room door, and knocked on the door: "Third young master?"
No one answered, he said again: "Your second brother is back, the old man asked you to go down."
There was still no movement, the room was dead silent, and the servant stood there suddenly feeling something was wrong.
He twisted the doorknob and asked tentatively, "Third Young Master? Can I come in?"
The door was unlocked, and it swung open. As soon as the door was opened, the servant smelled a strong smell of blood.
His heart skipped a beat, and when he subconsciously raised his eyes, he saw a human-shaped object hanging on the wall facing the door, and the blood from his limbs had already stained the wall red.
——And that humanoid figure was the third young master, An Chengya, whom he was calling for.
"Ahh—" the servant fell to the ground and let out a shrill scream.
As he said, An Chengya caused a sensation in the An family by virtue of his tragic death.
"We can't call the police anymore!" Mr. An said this when he saw the corpse for the first time.
"Father!" An Chengbo looked at him in disbelief. After all these years, he was still as cold-blooded as he remembered.
"Indeed." Unexpectedly, Lu Tianshi agreed with Mr. An's words, "This is not something that can be solved by manpower."
"You mean something evil is causing trouble?" An Chengbo was startled.
"Even if you miss, it's not far away." Lu Tianshi nodded.
He didn't care about the blood spreading on the floor, walked to An Chengya's side, and took out something from his body.
The color and shape of that thing were very familiar, so Mr. An cried out, "Amulet?"
Lu Tianshi looked at him: "It seems that you know what this is."
He opened it in front of his face, took out a clump of jet-black hair, and lit it, watching a cloud of steaming black air emanating from it.
"Young Master Ling was influenced by the evil energy from above, so he chose to commit suicide."
"This...suicide?" An Chengbo looked at the body of his third brother, who had never spoken to him since he was a child, with complicated emotions.
"Yes." Lu Tianshi rolled up An Chengya's sleeve, revealing the vertical and horizontal scars underneath.
Some scars are new and some are old. The new ones have just scabbed over, and the old ones are wounds from years ago. They have spread all the way to his shoulders, and it is conceivable that there will be no shortage of wounds on other places on his body.
"With all due respect, Mr. Ling should have a tendency to self-torture."
No need for him to say, others can see it too. The wounds on his body were indeed self-inflicted.
Although An Chengya was not taken seriously in the An's family, he was a master. Mr. An was strict with him. The servants dared to neglect him secretly, but they didn't dare to inflict so many wounds on him.
"..." Mr. An was silent for a while, and then heaved a long sigh, "I ignored him too much before."
Lu Tianshi nodded, and from the performance of the people around him, he could roughly understand the situation of the third young master: "Being neglected for a long time, such psychological problems will indeed appear. It may be by chance that he will win when he finds out that he is injured." Everyone’s attention is overwhelming.”
"But the real incentive is this thing in my hand." He raised the amulet in his hand.
Mr. An's eyes were fixed. Although he didn't fully believe this statement, the scene just now aroused his doubts.
But... why? He and Wu Zhu had always cooperated happily, and he couldn't think of any reason why she wanted to harm him.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the amulet from his pocket: "Master, can you see if there is any problem with me?"
Lu Tianshi opened it again, and there was still the same black hair inside: "It's the same. This thing carries a lot of resentment. Wearing it for a long time may affect people's mind and make the wearer act irrationally."
"Is there anything else? Let me handle it?" he asked.
The young man stepped forward at this moment: "There are three more, and they are all here."
An Chengbo gave him a complicated look, and called out in a low voice: "Little brother..."
Speaking of which, he left home back then, partly because of him.
"Second brother." The young man responded generously.
Looking at it this way, he is completely different from the spoiled child in An Chengbo's memory.
At this time, the conversation between Lu Tianshi and Mr. An was still going on, and Lu Tianshi said righteously: "Using such evil things to harm people is not allowed by people in my way. Please be sure to tell me who made them."
"... This person is a witch Zhu raised by my family." Mr. An frowned, and said it without much hesitation. He also wanted to know what was going on.
Lu Tianshi is a natural activist, and he is going to find that Wu Zhu immediately.
Mr. An and An Chengbo naturally wanted to follow.
"I won't go there." The young man refused with a smile, "Even if I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."
Indeed, it would be nice if he didn't make trouble.
But the appearance of this celestial master is really a surprise. With him here, he doesn't have to deal with that witch Zhu himself.
He had expected such a day since he was working on the amulet, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
He didn't go, and Chang'an also stayed.
Did not witness the scene, and heard about it from the servants.
According to him, as soon as the two met, the Heavenly Master subdued Wu Zhu, and then searched out many harmful evil things from her room, and he set them all on fire.
How Tianshi Lu dealt with Wu Zhu in the end, no one knew, but from then on, the An family never saw the woman in black again.
…
The Ghost Festival is coming.
An's family has been busy for a long time, making river lanterns, stacking paper ingots, and preparing for ancestor worship.
The An family is a big traditional family. Although these things can be bought from the market, it is more sincere to make them yourself.
The guy in charge of the purchase brought back a message: "Too many people are sick outside recently! The clinics are overcrowded!"
Jiang Man pricked up his ears. He also discovered recently that not only outsiders, but also many people in the An family were sick.
This disease seems to be contagious. One sick person can quickly infect the next one. The An family's sick servants were all isolated.
Jiang Man looked at all this with cold eyes, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.
He always felt that this was not a natural disaster, but that someone was behind it.
Not only people, but also fish in the river began to die on a large scale. The originally clear river surface was full of dead fish with white bellies at first glance.
This also happened in the pond of the mansion, and the servants salvaged the dead koi so as not to pollute the water.
The dead koi are displayed by the pond, looking a little creepy.
A passing servant didn't pay attention, stepped on it, and happened to step on the belly of a koi carp. The koi fish opened its mouth, and a round object sprayed out from it.
"Huh?" The servant picked up the thing, "Isn't this the pearl that the young mistress held in her hand that day?"
He didn't know what it was, so he could only call it indiscriminately.
Without thinking too much, he rinsed it and handed it to the young man.
"Things from Chang'an?" The young man held it in his hand and was also a little puzzled.
He didn't seem to have seen it in the boy.
The author has something to say: This incident tells us, don't throw things around, because you don't know how it will return to your hands.
And the little angel of the black and white cat, you are too good, most of them have been guessed, give the little angel my knee (you are welcome to take it away)
