Familiar words are like a small copper hammer, hitting Chi Yan's heart word by word.
Chi Yan's heart suddenly rose, and a bad premonition stuck in his throat, he felt a little dry, and finally he only whispered: "Da Song, this case is not quite right, you first find an excuse not to Is it okay to participate? Please take a few days off at home to take care of Juanjuan." He couldn't control too many people, but he hoped that his relatives and friends would be well.
Song Jin didn't respond directly: "ruler, do you mean that there is something like that? Well... I will talk to Master and the others, and I will pay more attention, don't worry."
Chi Yan sighed, knowing that Song Jin would definitely not leave the job easily, and he was not sure that the current situation was what he thought, so he couldn't persuade him any more. Song Jin said goodbye to Tao Juanjuan and the fetus in her womb.
Grandpa walked out of his bedroom, paced to the living room balcony with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside, and muttered, "It looks like it's going to rain."
This season, R city is already rainy. Chi Yan washed the teacup Song Jin used, and replied casually: "It's okay, Da Song has a car."
Grandpa was right, the heavy rain that night fell to R City in a downpour. There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and even fewer cars than usual. Even lying on the bed, you could hear the continuous sound of rain, the occasional sound of cars wading through the flooded streets, and the rustling of tree branches as they swayed in the wind and rain. loud sound.
In the midst of this noisy yet extraordinarily silent natural chord, there were bursts of light and rhythmic knocks on the door outside the house.
It was one o'clock in the middle of the night. Chi Yan couldn't sleep because of what Song Jin said. He was playing with his mobile phone. After hearing the sound, he stopped his movements and listened carefully for a while. Someone was knocking on his door.
He sat up, rolled over, got out of bed and walked towards the dark living room, feeling a little uneasy and looking forward to it. Chi Yan walked to the door, opened a wooden door inside, and looked out from the cat's eye through the security door, and a tall and tall figure in black clothes could be vaguely seen.
He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth and opened the security door.
Cool air and water vapor rushed in along with the man. The man backhanded the door and hugged him directly at the entrance.
Chi Yan also hugged the man and attached him with some reliance: "Brother Yingzhi, why are you here so late?"
Ye Yingzhi gave a "um", but didn't answer, and instead asked, "Why haven't you slept so late?"
Grandpa is still resting in the room. Logically speaking, the old man does not need to sleep now, but just like the morning exercise, he still retains the habit of resting at night. Chi Yan was afraid of disturbing her grandfather, so she led Ye Yingzhi into her room.
No lights were turned on in the bedroom, only a lamp on the desk was on. Ye Yingzhi took off his coat and hung it in Chi Yan's closet. He sat on the bed and began to unbutton his shirt. Chi Yan sat beside him to help him unbutton it, and said, "I just can't sleep."
"I can't sleep..." Ye Yingzhi repeated his words, leaned back slightly, hummed a sound from his nose, stretched out his hand and pressed Chi Yan's back to him, "Well, then take a good look at the waiter tonight. Brother, you can sleep now."
Chi Yan was annoyed that he had learned so rudely, but he felt sorry for his illness. He always thought that Ye Yingzhi was not in good health, so he had to follow him, and he couldn't bear to be angry. It's as if Ye Yingzhi wanted him to give obediently what Ye Yingzhi wanted, coaxing Ye Yingzhi to have a good time.
But Chi Yan remembered that her grandfather didn't dare to snooze, and got up at 8:30 in the morning. In fact, he only slept for less than three hours. He introduced Ye Yingzhi to his grandfather, and told the old man that this was his very powerful friend, and that he would be able to send his grandfather away in two days without any accident.
Grandpa looked at Ye Yingzhi and nodded with a smile, but said nothing.
After breakfast, Chi Yan was washing dishes by himself in the kitchen, but grandfather quietly walked back, stood beside him and whispered, "Xiaoyan, tell grandpa, what is your friend's origin?"
Chi Yan thought about it for a while and replied, "His family, like Chi's family, is also a celestial master. But he is much more powerful than a three-legged cat like me, and he is also a good person. He grew up with me, grandpa, you Don't worry."
In the old man's cloudy eyes, there was still a lingering worry: "But Xiaoyan, grandpa looks at you, sees Lao Li and Xiao Song, they are all human, just like your own; but you can't see that friend of yours. What it looks like, I see it, it's a dark mass, full of ghosts and yin... Grandpa is a little scared, it's okay if Grandpa doesn't leave, it's okay if he can't reincarnate, but Xiaoyan, please don't provoke anything for Grandpa Something that shouldn't be provoked."
Chi Yan hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, Grandpa, don't worry. Brother Yingzhi and their family practice ghost ways. It may look a little different, but there will be no problem." Besides, if you provoke something, even if it's not for Grandpa He probably already provokes Ye Yingzhi long ago.
Seeing how close and trusting Chi Yan was, and listening to him explain this, the worry in the old man's eyes lightened a little, but another indescribable worry in his heart became heavier—that was just the old man's intuition, he just felt intuitively. That's not a good thing. If your grandson is so close to that thing, I'm afraid it will be eaten to the point of not even the scum.
But just as Chi Yan couldn't persuade Song Jin to leave his job because of his bad premonition, Grandpa couldn't persuade Chi Yan to leave Ye Yingzhi based on his own intuition, so he could only remind him to be careful and not trust others too much.
It's not too late to send grandpa away, Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan discussed to send grandpa away at night. Chi Yan asked his grandfather for his opinion, and the old man agreed, but he still couldn't let Chi Yan go, and repeatedly told him to act carefully and take care of himself.
Chi Yan's house lacked some materials needed to arrange the magic circle, so Ye Yingzhi had someone bring it over. But he didn't seem to want his subordinates to go to Chi Yan's house, so he had to go to pick it up in person, but Chi Yan said that it was refused for him to pick it up for him.
Ye Yingzhi had just walked for a minute when someone knocked on the door again. Chi Yan wondered who was coming, and opened the door, because it was only in the evening, and the neighbors were all at home. Generally, gangsters would not dare to commit murder at this time, so he was not so vigilant.
A young man stood outside the door, with messy hair and wrinkled clothes. There were two obvious dark blues at the moment. Chi Yan glanced twice before confirming that the person in front of him was actually Xu Rui.
Seeing Chi Yan, Xu Rui seemed very excited, and quickly ran into the door. He seemed to be afraid of something and quickly closed the security door. Then he let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes were a little red when he looked at Chi Yan. But he still forced a smile: "Chi Shao, I finally escaped."
Chi Yan poured him a cup of hot water and let him sit on the chair: "What's wrong? Take it slow, what happened?"
Xu Rui's lips quivered a few times, looking at the white air above the cup, his eyes were a little empty: "It's gone... Everyone in the Xu family, Xiaoxin who came out early and me who barely escaped, are gone. "
He suddenly grabbed Chi Yan's hand on the table and shook it: "Young Master Chi, you have to be careful! Ye Yingzhi is no longer human! Yinshan will become like that, all because he."
The place where the three families of Chi, Ye and Xu lived in seclusion was called the Hidden Mountain by the three families.
Chi Yan suddenly froze, Xu Rui's hand was very cold, Chi Yan felt like he was being held by a block of ice, and sweat dripped from his palms. But he had no time to think about it, so he grabbed Xu Rui's hand and stared at him firmly: "What did you say?"
"Ye Yingzhi is dead. There is such a strong ghost in Yinshan, which can reverse Yin and Yang, it is because of him. Ah Yan, you believe me, we found Ye Yingzhi's own tomb in the Ye family's ancestral tomb. Ye Yingzhi went back when it was time to dig the grave to examine the coffin, and then the Ye family arrested us. With the help of my parents and my uncle, I ran out. I was the only one who escaped... I saw Chi Yan with my own eyes, Ye Ying After all, he's really not a human being." His hands were shaking slightly, and the words he said were in reverse.
Chi Yan patted him lightly: "Xu Rui, calm down and speak slowly. What do you mean by what you said? Why do you say that Yinshan's ghost is because of brother Yingzhi? What's the matter with opening the coffin?" Xu Rui's current appearance is obviously abnormal, and the credibility of his words has been discounted. Chi Yan naturally doesn't believe that Ye Yingzhi has died, so there should be some misunderstandings, and Xu Rui will have to wait for it to clarify. Row.
"That's it... I told my father about your original guess. He and the uncle observed that Yinshan had indeed been covered by a thick layer of ghostly qi with the magic tools at home. Finally, they found the source of the ghost qi. In the Ye family, on Ye Yingzhi."
Listening to Xu Rui's words, Chi Yan suddenly remembered that the thing that used Chi Lin to give birth to a shell had also said that brother Yingzhi had something to do with the ghosts there. But what that thing said was that Ye Yingzhi survived by absorbing ghost qi, and Ye Yingzhi was born from ghost qi; but what Xu Rui meant was that Ye Yingzhi was dead, and he was the source of ghost qi. The ghost qi was born because of Ye Yingzhi. These two statements are contradictory in terms of cause and effect, so one of the judgments must be wrong, or both of them are wrong. But what is certain is that there should be some connection between Yingzhi's brother and the ghost, and he has to ask clearly when he returns.
I just listened to Xu Rui continue: "But how can ordinary ghosts have such influence and ability, can disguise the identity of the celestial master for so many years without being detected, and even change the luck of one spiritual land, turning it into a hell scene where yin and yang are reversed. My uncle and father suspected that Ye Yingzhi had turned into an extremely vicious and unprecedented emperor in a ghost after his death. In order to verify this, and to increase the bargaining power against him, they secretly searched for Ye Yingzhi's tomb."
Xu Rui was much calmer this time, and his words became more organized. Chi Yan always frowned and listened quietly, when he suddenly saw his grandfather leaning out of the bedroom and waved to him quietly.
Xu Rui turned his back to his grandfather and didn't see it.
Chi Yan stood up and shoved the hot tea cup into Xu Rui's hand: "You warm up first, I'll go to the bathroom."
Xu Rui nodded and didn't speak, holding the teacup in a daze, tiredness could not be concealed in his brows.
Chi Yan walked to her grandfather's side, and the old man pulled Chi Yan into the room and whispered, "Xiaoyan, be careful, your grandfather can tell that your friend is no longer human, just like your grandfather."
