Ye Yingzhi was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and there was a crystal clear ice-cracked porcelain cup on the coffee table. The aroma of Tie Guanyin was steaming up, and when he heard Chi Yan rushing in, he put down the book and raised his head: "Why all of a sudden? Are you in a hurry to come back again? Miss your brother?"
Chi Yan shook her head hurriedly, calming her breath.
Ye Yingyi suddenly raised his face: "Oh? That's why you don't want to?"
Chi Yan said anxiously: "No, it's not that I don't want to. It's just that I have something I want to ask my brother to check."
Ye Yingzhi put his fingers together to support his chin, and his black eyes looked at him intently: "What's the matter?"
"The news from yesterday said that the gu worms will die after a long time after the keeper of the gu dies. How long is this 'not long'? How many years?"
"It's simple." Ye Yingzhi didn't know the reason why he suddenly asked about this. He just motioned Chi Yan to hand over his mobile phone, "Just call and ask them to ask again."
Soon there was a reply: It's definitely not possible in a few years, at most one month, the Gu worms will all die one after another.
a month. The time also coincides.
Here, on the mountain where the three Celestial Masters Chi, Ye, and Xu lived in seclusion, something similar to Hejiacun happened. The living die one after another and become ghosts, and the people around them and even themselves can't tell whether they are human or ghost.
Lin Zhu, Ma Tian, and Chi Rong all died long before they disappeared. Lin Zhu will be found missing because his soul disappeared for unknown reasons at that time; Ma Tian and Chi Rong are in a similar situation, their souls disappeared completely, and even the ghosts were found missing, and then their bodies were found. .
And some kind of ghost like Hejia Village will confuse their judgment and hide this fact. Their bodies had not been found before. The Tianshi Jiang who thought he killed Ma Tian by accident did not kill him, because no one can kill a dead person again, he just really destroyed Ma Tian. The soul, including the fact that he dealt with Ma Tian's non-existent corpse, should only be imagined under this layer of confusion.
But just like the mother-in-law of Hejia Village and the daughter of the owner of the hostel, there should be someone here who has seen the truth and found out that he should have died long ago. This person is Chi Rong. Under the influence of the blindness, of course he couldn't have discovered the corpse hidden under his own bed, the chance he could find should be those Gu worms. As a Gu keeper, he should have realized that something was wrong when he discovered that his Gu worms were dying in large numbers.
Chi Yan still remembered the answer when he asked Chi Rong's father's cause of death - "The person who raised the Gu died, and the Gu worm died after no one took over and couldn't support it for a long time. After the heart Gu died, the puppet that was fostered by the Gu worm died. Nature will soon die."
At that time, Chi Yan always thought that the deceased person who raised Gu in his words was his mother. But obviously not, the person who raised the Gu should be himself, and before his mother died, he should have handed over all his Gus to Chi Rong, including the Gu who manipulated Chi Yuanshan. And after Chi Rong's sudden and unexpected death, those Gu worms were "no one to take over". So when his father was dying, Chi Rong should have known very clearly that he was dead. He also knew that there were differences, so he specially asked Chi Yan to find Ye Yingzhi's method to send Chi Yuanshan away, to ensure that Chi Yuanshan passed away smoothly, instead of continuing to be trapped here like him.
Then why didn't Chi Rong ask Ye Yingzhi to save himself? What did he finally do when he knew that he was dead, and why did this directly cause him to lose his soul
At this moment, Chi Yan's phone rang, and the ringing interrupted his thinking. He glanced at the caller ID, and it was Song Jin's call.
Chi Yan answered the phone, and Song Jin's voice came across thousands of mountains and rivers: "Chizi, hurry up and go home. Grandpa suddenly fainted in the morning and is now in the hospital, he hasn't woken up yet."
Yuanshui could not save the near fire, so Chi Yan left the phone number of herself and Song Jin to the nurse before she left, telling her that she could contact Song Jin for help in case of an emergency. In the morning, my grandfather suddenly fainted, and the nurse called Song Jin in a hurry. With his help, he placed my grandfather in the hospital where Tao Juanjuan was staying. Only then did Song Jin spare time to inform Chi Yan.
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment. He would find time to call his grandfather every night after dinner. Ye Yingzhi had figured out this rule, and sometimes he deliberately picked this time to make fun of him, just because he was sure that he could not resist when talking to his grandfather. When I called last night, my grandfather was fine. Uncle Zhang's son, who was exercising with him, was promoted, and Uncle Hu's granddaughter won an award. Who would have thought that he would suddenly faint today.
He told Song Jin that he would go back as soon as possible, and asked him to help take care of his grandfather before he went back, and hung up the phone.
Ye Yingzhi had already heard the content of the call, and when he saw Chi Yan standing blankly with the hung up mobile phone, his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, he couldn't help standing up and took him to his side and sat down comfortably. : "It's okay, my brother will arrange a car to take you back to see your grandfather, don't be afraid."
Chi Yan put his arm around him all of a sudden: "Brother Yingzhi, will you go with me? You go back with me." The voice behind him was already imploring.
"My brother has something to do with the Ye family, so I can't go away for the time being." Ye Yingzhi stroked his hair with his hands, his face calm, "Brother will see you in a while? Take it back."
A thought suddenly crossed in Chi Yan's mind—Brother Yingzhi really wanted him to stay here with him.
"If Ah Yan doesn't want to stay on the mountain, I'll go to you when I've dealt with the Ye family's affairs. Will I stay with you from now on?" Seeing that Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, Ye Yingzhi immediately added. Dao, his face was pale and calm, with the gentleness that was unique to him as always.
Chi Yan didn't expect Ye Yingzhi to say such a thing, looked up at him, hesitated, and finally hugged his arm tightly: "Brother Yingzhi, do you remember Chi Rong? He is already dead, I mean he died about a month ago, and the 'Chi Rong' we saw before is no longer a human being. You remember what I told you in this issue, I accompanied my friend Song Jin on a mission and ended up in a ghost village What happened? I suspect that there is a situation in this mountain like that village, but everyone is still in the dark."
Chi Yan spoke eagerly, and cited the examples of Lin Zhu and Ma Tian to support his point of view. Ye Yingzhi only responded lightly, touched his hair and said, "Well, Chi Rong, Lin Zhu, and Ma Tian are no longer human, so Ayan thinks that they have seen the dead and they have spoken, are you afraid? ?"
"It's not a matter of fear," Chi Yan shook Ye Yingzhi's arm, "Brother Yingzhi, I am very worried about you, you are the person I am most worried about in this place. We can't tell who the people around us are. People are ghosts, they can easily be killed, and even after they die, they don’t remember that they are dead, just like the villagers in Hejia Village.”
"Silly boy." Ye Yingzhi looked at him worriedly and looked at himself, couldn't help but leaned over him on the sofa and leaned over to kiss him, before letting go after a long time, "Have you forgotten what your brother does? How could it be easily harmed by ghosts?"
Ye Yingzhi stretched out his thumb and gently rubbed his red and soft lips that had been ravaged. His eyes were dark and deep: "Don't worry, my brother will find you after handling the matter here."
After all, Ye Yingzhi is the head of the Ye family. Although he is not in good health, he has a strong control over the surrounding environment. Chi Yan believes in his ability and knows that he has always been successful, so he will not persuade him any more. But he had to report his guesses to Xu Rui and Xu Xin. If everything really went as he thought, the current situation would be very bad.
He was afraid of being too close to Ye Yingzhi, so he stood up and walked to the side to call Xu Rui, but no one answered. Chi Yan just turned off the phone and was about to call again, when he saw the housekeeper walk in, salute him and Ye Yingzhi respectively, and then said to Ye Yingzhi, "Third Master, Master Chi has left the customs and sent someone here. Please be late and say that you want to meet Chishao."
Chi Yan was stunned when he heard the words, and then countless resentments flooded into his heart involuntarily. He really wanted to ask his good grandfather, why he named Chi Rong "Rong" back then, to support their mother and son openly and secretly; does he know whether Chi Rong's mother was betraying his father? I know, why not stop it, watching my son be manipulated for half a lifetime, until he dies for it. Just because of coveting the secret magic trick brought by Chi Rong's mother? Or is it because he hated his mother who had to marry back no matter what his father insisted on back then
Chi Yan had always thought that he really only did this because he disapproved of his parents' marriage, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem that simple.
Chi Yan stood there for a while without answering, but Ye Yingzhi seemed to see what he was thinking, and said lightly, "If you want to see him, go to see him, and if you have any questions, just ask. I don't dare to bully you. I've put this matter aside, and I can feel at ease when I go back to see my grandfather."
Chi Yan looked at him, pursed her lips and nodded.
But he didn't take the car that the Chi family sent to pick him up. Ye Yingzhi asked the driver to drive him to take him there.
As soon as Chi Yan got in the car, Xu Rui called him back: "Chief, what's the matter? Coincidentally, I just got a message and wanted to tell you when I saw your missed call."
Chi Yan took the phone closer: "You talk first."
"Do you remember Lin Zhu who disappeared suddenly? My uncle and the others have never given up to investigate the reason for his sudden loss of soul. Later, when searching for his soul with a secret technique, they found that the last place where his soul aura disappeared was at Chi's house, near your grandfather's retreat. place."
Chi Yan closed his eyes, he no longer knew how to react to this kind of news. If it was himself, he knew that the Chi family was weird, and there were problems in this place. This news might be the last straw that broke the camel's back, making him ignore everything and take Xu Rui and Xu Xin to turn around and run away. Go back to take care of grandpa, wait for brother Yingzhi to take care of everything and find him.
But Ye Yingzhi encouraged him to face it, to find out the truth, and to tell him, don't be afraid, he is there.
