Chi Yan was a little stunned, and confirmed in a low voice, "You mean... Xu Rui is no longer human?"
The old man nodded heavily. He didn't know what was going on in this world, just like he didn't know why he came back suddenly, he just hoped that his little grandson could get rid of these monsters and ghosts and grow old safely.
Chi Yan walked back to the living room stiffly.
Judging from Xu Rui's performance just now, he had no idea that he had died. He considers himself the only one who "successfully escaped" from the Xu family.
Xu Rui was pressing on the phone in the living room, and when he saw Chi Yan came back, he explained: "When I came out, I sent Xiaoxin a message first, and then I came to see you by car. She was quite worried and asked me about the Xu family. ." At the end, there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
"What happened to the Xu family?" Chi Yan asked.
"All dead. But just like Chirong before, as long as the soul is still there, in the Yin-Yang world with strong ghosts and evil spirits like Yinshan, you can live like ordinary people, and many people don't even know that they are dead. But when you go out of the ghostly shrouded area, it is easy to show your true shape and find yourself dead."
Did you know that you are actually dead? Chi Yan didn't speak, but couldn't help but feel a sadness in her chest, and then she felt a chill all over her body, and an extremely terrifying thought flashed into her mind - Xu Rui appeared in front of him but didn't know that he was dead. Song Jin received a bizarre case similar to Lin Zhumatian and the others. His grandfather had passed away but he came back to him. Even the old people who were doing morning exercises became able to see him... Is it because of where he lives now? , has also become a place where the ghosts and yin and yang are reversed like Hejia Village and Hidden Mountain
He was lost in thought, only to hear Xu Rui continue: "By the way, Chi Shao, have you ever thought about one thing?"
Chi Yan turned to look at him, Xu Rui said, "Ye Yingzhi clearly spoiled you, and he became the head of the Ye family when you were in college, so he naturally has the ability to take you back or come to see you in person. , why did you let you go outside for so many years without any sign of it?"
Chi Yan didn't respond for a while, and didn't answer the call.
Xu Rui continued: "I didn't understand it before, but just now I suddenly figured it out. Because he died a long time ago, but at that time he was newly mourned, and his ghostly spirit was not so strong. He was afraid that he would show his fault and be found dead by you. And now that he has turned the whole world upside down, he naturally dares to be with you unscrupulously."
"You said that this situation of upside-down yin and yang was caused by big brother Yingzhi?" Chi Yan shook his head, "No, big brother Yingzhi is not such a person, he will not hurt others for no reason."
Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "Yes, he won't hurt others for no reason. But he didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of it. With yin and yang reversed, evil ghosts breed and kill people. Hell. Of course Lin Zhu and Ma Tian were not killed by your brother Yingzhi, but in such a situation, he couldn't get rid of it."
"Chi Yan." He called Chi Yan in a deep voice, "Tell me with your conscience, you don't know what Ye Yingzhi cares about? He won't hurt anyone, but you think he will care about the lives of others? He As long as he wants what he wants, he doesn't care what the world will be like. I can understand things, how can you not understand?"
Chi Yan was silent for a while. Xu Rui was right, he liked Ye Yingzhi, and shared the bed with each other day and night. Of course, he knew what the other party's temperament was. He liked each other, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with Ye Yingzhi, but he was objective and rational. It seems that he will not force himself to refute what Xu Rui said is wrong.
"He wants to live, he wants to be with you, this is his obsession, and there's nothing wrong with it. But the price he paid for all of this is too high." Xu Rui's voice was bitter, "Such a villain Ling, there is nothing we can do about the Xu family. I just want to tell you that you may have a way to let him go. Of course, whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours. "
At this moment, the sound of the key being turned came from outside the door, and Ye Yingzhi pushed open the door with a cold look. He was carrying a black paper bag in his left hand, which contained things to be used for spellcasting.
When he saw Xu Rui, his eyes darkened slightly, and then he looked at Chi Yan: "So there are guests at home."
"But Xu Gongzi doesn't seem to belong to this world anymore."
Chi Yan froze for a moment. Grandpa had already told him that Xu Rui was not human. Ye Yingzhi could see it at a glance, but he didn't expect Ye Yingzhi to say it so bluntly and directly.
Xu Rui was also stunned on the spot, looking at Ye Yingzhi: "...What did you say?"
"You are already dead. Have you forgotten yourself?" Ye Yingzhi looked at him and said lightly, as if he was talking about something very common.
Xu Rui didn't refute his words, he just looked down at his hand with disbelief in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "...I'm already, am I dead?"
Ye Yingzhi didn't speak any more, put the things on the table, walked to Chi Yan's side, put his arms around his waist possessively, and said softly, "Ayan, I'll send Young Master Xu away together tonight? Stay in the world. It doesn't do them any good."
Chi Yan's gaze shifted to Xu Rui. He seemed to have fallen into chaos at this time, muttering "Yes, I am already dead" for a while, and then emotionally retorting to himself "No, how is it possible, am I still alive and well?" After the truth that he had died, he was completely plunged into his own world, and Chi Yan called his name twice, but he didn't respond.
Xu Rui's appearance continued until Ye Yingzhi completed the formation. During this period, he kept muttering words like "dead" and "alive" like crazy, his eyes were straight, and he looked straight ahead of him, making people feel Creepy.
Grandpa couldn't bear to see it, and sighed: "Let him go with me."
Chi Yan said goodbye to her grandfather in a low voice, and then walked to Xu Rui. He watched the high-spirited second young master Xu become like this, thought of all the things the two had known each other since childhood, closed his eyes, and didn't speak any more.
Ye Yingzhi didn't ask his opinion any more, and when he did, he directly sent his grandfather and Xu Rui away together.
Chi Yan watched two familiar figures gradually disappear in front of him, and sat on the ground as if losing strength.
Ye Yingzhi walked over and hugged him in his arms, softly coaxing: "A Yan is not afraid, I am still here." Just like when Chi Yan woke up from a nightmare as a child.
Chi Yan whimpered and put her head on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "When I left Chi's house last time, I never thought that Xu Rui was no longer there when we met again. Yingzhi, what happened to Yinshan? Now? Why did you rush back last time?" He asked him to greet him, instead of the reliant milk-baby-like elder brother that he used to be, he was already standing in the perspective of growing up and calling for complete equality with himself Dependent partners.
Ye Yingzhi stroked his back lightly, and did not answer Chi Yan's last question, but said, "Chi Xu has inherited the three heavenly masters of Ye's family for many years, but he has also done a lot of sinister things that cannot be seen by people or ghosts. At a certain point, it will always erupt, and now it is self-reliant. There are too many ghosts, many people died, Xu Rui just didn't escape. They have all passed away, so they don't need to worry about it anymore."
Chi Yan nodded, hesitated and said, "Xu Rui came over just now and told me that you were dead and that they found your tomb."
Ye Yingzhi looked at him and smiled lightly: "Ayan suspects that I am dead?"
Chi Yan quickly shook his head: "No, it's just... a little worried, and some unspeakable fear."
"Xu Rui has been affected by ghost qi. There is no distinction between yin and yang, and he can't even remember his own life and death. Don't take his words to heart." Ye Yingzhi pulled Chi Yan to stand up and led him back to the bedroom. "Isn't my brother here well, otherwise who was the one who stayed with you last night? Huh? How can I prove it to you, little rascal." After speaking, his tone was a little more ambiguous in the lover's world. .
Chi Yan raised his head and kissed the corner of Ye Yingzhi's mouth in a pleasing manner. He stared at him with round eyes, but he didn't speak, but his whole body softened, as if he had taken off all his guards, like a clam undefended. He opened it to the other side completely, revealing his soft and tender inner flesh. It attracts people to hold it in their hands, knead and play with the soft and moist clam meat.
Ye Yingzhi looked at him like this, his dark eyes filled with satisfaction, he sighed and pulled him into his arms and kissed him gently. Chi Yan wrapped his hands around each other's neck and closed his eyes quietly. Grandpa and Xu Rui just left, he is not in the mood, but as long as Ye Yingzhi wants him, he will never refuse the other party's closeness, and will only cooperate obediently.
At this moment, there was a burst of high-pitched singing in the living room, and the hoarse voice of the European and American male instantly woke Chi Yan up. He opened his eyes, pushed Ye Yingzhi away with a little force, and walked out of the bedroom to see.
A silver-gray mobile phone was vibrating on the dining table, and the melodious singing was coming from it.
It's Xu Rui's phone. He brought his cell phone over, Ye Yingzhi sent him away, but his cell phone remained. Chi Yan walked over, and the caller ID showed "Xiaoxin". He paused, then opened the phone and picked it up.
The male voice humming repeatedly stopped abruptly, and a familiar female voice came from the receiver. Xu Xin was a little surprised to hear that Chi Yan answered the phone: "Xiao Chi? Why is it you, where is my brother?"
Not long ago, Xu Rui was sitting here and texting her, and Chi Yan was at a loss for words.
Xu Xin noticed something from his silence, and was silent for a moment, then said: "It's okay, tell me, what happened?" Her voice was calm, but her breathing was a little short.
Chi Yan rationalized her thoughts and began to tell Xu Xin everything that had happened since Xu Rui entered the door, until she said that Ye Yingzhi had sent Xu Rui and her grandfather away together, but subconsciously concealed what Xu Rui said. Those words about Ye Yingzhi not being human.
"Sorry, I didn't let you see Xu Rui for the last time."
"It's okay, thank you, I understand, it's best to let my brother leave as soon as possible." Chi Yan heard Xu Xin's voice choked, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll just rest. "
The two fell into silence for a while, and it took more than a minute before Xu Xin spoke again: "There is one more thing I want to ask you, if the matter over the hidden mountain is resolved, be sure to tell me. I have to go back and collect the corpses for my brother and the others. ." Now that way there, she would definitely not be able to go back alone.
Chi Yan didn't know how to comfort her, so she answered solemnly and hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
Xu Rui's screen saver is a group photo of their family of four during Chinese New Year. Xu Rui's parents are sitting in the front, and he and Xu Xin are standing behind their parents on the left and right. There is a big red Chinese knot hanging on the wall behind them. Everyone is happy. smiling.
Chi Yan looked at the photo of the family of four, a little stunned, and unconsciously slid her hand on the screen. It was obvious that the four Xu Rui family had not done anything evil, but they were shattered in an instant, leaving only Xu Xin alone. He inadvertently clicked on the "Photo" icon on Xu Rui's phone, and a row of photos jumped out. The protagonist of the recent photos is a stone tablet.
The small picture couldn't be seen clearly, Chi Yan stretched out his finger to open the photo, and the familiar handwriting suddenly came into view. On one side is a simple and heavy bluestone tablet with five black characters - Ye Yingzhi's Tomb. The shape of the characters is clear and handsome, just like the person, which is the most familiar look to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan still remembered that when he was young, Ye Yingzhi held him on his lap, wrote his name and pointed it to him, with a soft voice: "My brother's name is Ye Yingzhi, look, Ye Yingzhi. Ah Yan must remember ."
Ye Yingzhi's tomb. It was Ye Yingzhi's own words.
