Chi Yan came out of the mourning hall, told Ye Yingzhi about the ghost and the old man, and indicated that the old man and his assistant would follow them into the mountain tomorrow morning.
The old man said that in order to avoid spooking the snakes, the ghosts couldn't let the ghosts discover the existence of the two of them, so they would follow behind them at a distance, and use instruments to cover up the breath of the two of them.
Chi Yan also conveyed to Ye Yingzhi the precautions that the old man told him.
Chi Yan still can't see what kind of attitude his lover has towards these strange and chaotic things. He didn't doubt his own words like those people before, saying things like these don't exist, you must be scaring yourself, and so on; he didn't panic and panic, but he calmly comforted himself and persuaded himself. And support yourself to get back here in person to find out everything possible.
This time Ye Yingzhi was still calm, he didn't react to the appearance of the ghost and the old gentleman, he just hugged his shoulders and smiled gently: "Let's go there, if we can really settle your worries, it will be too much. All right."
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, the ghost appeared in the hotel, calling Chi Yan and Ye Ying on their way.
After so many years, there was still only one hotel in Hongtu Village. The old gentleman and his assistant naturally lived with Chi Yan and the others, and the rooms were not far apart. Before setting off on the road, Chi Yan sent a message to the old gentleman. The old gentleman and his assistant were already ready to go. After receiving the news, they quietly followed them, keeping them in their sight.
There was a thin fog in the canyon, just like when Chi Yan graduated from high school, the phone lost signal shortly after entering the mountain canyon.
Before Chi Yan came, he specially prepared sufficient food, water and lighting equipment suitable for long-term survival in the wild, as well as the magical instruments he bought before, all of which were placed in two large mountaineering bags on average. What he did was the worst plan and a more scientific and reasonable arrangement, so that even if he and Ye Yingzhi were separated for some reason, both of them would still have material support to survive.
But Ye Yingzhi was very emotional on this point. He insisted on carrying all the heavy things on his back, leaving only some light food and paper spells in Chi Yan's bag. Chi Yan reasoned with him, and he kissed him, completely unreasonable.
After setting out, Chi Yan already knew that the thing leading the way was a ghost. Even if Liu Shun's experience knew that it might just lead them to a certain cave instead of harming them on the way, he didn't dare to leave. That thing was too close; this time, the ghost that resembled Cheng Tao was also different from Liu Shun back then. Instead of approaching them, he avoided them a little bit, and just silently led the way in front of him, which was exactly what Chi Yan wanted.
The old gentleman and his assistant also staggered a distance from Chi Yan and the others. The canyon was extremely empty, and under the mist, it seemed like there were only the two of them.
Ye Yingzhi suddenly stretched out his hand and squeezed Chi Yan's hand firmly: "So what are you worried about, you are making trouble with me after separating the contents of the bag. We are holding each other like this, how can we lose it."
After saying this, he held Chi Yan's hand tightly again, and looked directly at the road in front of him, his eyes were far away, as if he had landed at the end of the world, but the voice that fell in his ear was extremely gentle, almost wanting Chi Yan wrapped up the whole thing: "Even if you lose it, I will find you soon."
He looked like this, as if he was talking casually, and Chi Yan only felt that his heart was warm, like a heart made of chocolate, but it was still covered in the palm of his hand, and it was almost melted. Even Ye Ying was reluctant to bother with him about the messy distribution of the materials in his backpack, and deliberately mumbled with a straight face: "Why are you so confident, you are not a god."
Ye Yingzhi also turned his head with a stern face and taught him: "Don't believe in these superstitions, there is no god in this world."
The two held hands like this, relying on each other and whispering to each other, talking rambling, boring, or greasy and disgusting. Forgot what you did.
The ghost who led the way would stop and wait for them from time to time, and the old gentleman behind them stared at the backs of the two from a distance, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to follow behind.
Even so, their journey was much faster than when Chi Yan followed Wang Sheng and the others. It seemed that the ghost had been leading them along the road in the canyon, and led them to a very remote cave at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. forward.
The old man didn't intend to let this ghost go, but only planned to use it to find the cave described by Chi Yan. Because it is let go today, it may confuse and frame other unknowing passers-by again in the future.
As soon as they saw the ground, the old man and his assistant quickly stepped forward and trapped the ghost with a few prepared red ropes soaked in rooster blood. The power of the ghost itself is not strong, it is just a human figure, which can confuse people, so as to attract blood and food for evil spirits and evil spirits, help those things to harm people, and soon after being trapped by the old gentleman and affixed with a spell to exorcise evil spirits Twisted and whimpered away.
Although Chi Yan couldn't see the ghost's face, the other party was dressed like Cheng Tao back then. Seeing the other party disappear like this, he still felt extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and his heart felt like it was wrapped in plastic wrap. Live as tightly as possible. At this time, Ye Yingzhi clasped his hand firmly through his fingers and pressed it silently.
Chi Yan turned her head to look at him, Ye Yingzhi was still calm and indifferent, but Chi Yan's heart also calmed down.
After that, the old gentleman informed Chi Yan and began to try to save Wang Sheng and the other three.
The old man first knelt down and drew a magic circle with the help of his assistant, and then lit incense candles and affixed talisman paper at several key positions. Then he sat cross-legged in front of the magic circle, closed his eyes, and began to mutter in his mouth. Get up.
Chi Yan didn't understand this spellcasting process at all, but felt mysterious and vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen others cast spells. These thoughts just passed by in a flash, and more in my heart is my gratitude to the old gentleman. Regardless of whether this spell is effective or not, the old man is very old and has never known him. Just because he happened to go to pay homage to the mother-in-law, he is willing to run with him without hesitation. Thank you very much.
After about a stick of incense, the old man opened his eyes, stood up again, and nodded to Chi Yan: "I've already done the Fa, and now I'm only one step away, your cousin's corpse is still there when you came out last time. As long as you take his body out and bury him in that place, he will be restless."
Hearing this, Chi Yan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and hesitantly said: "...Didn't you tell me yesterday not to enter the cave no matter what the ghost said? Why do you let me in now, will it be dangerous?"
The old gentleman shook his head: "This time and another time. You can do as I say. I have already done the Fa, and there will be no danger."
Hesitating and still a little uneasy: "I still remember when I came last time, I always heard many voices whispering 'He is about to wake up', and I always felt hairy when I heard it, do you know what's going on? "
The old gentleman turned to the cave in front of him and pointed, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a cathode in it, which gathers the most yin and evil energy in the world. Will gather here, and use this cave as a basis. Over time, this place itself will breed these evil spirits. So you said that you saw those harmful things in it, and encountered those strange things, it is not surprising, even the last time you What you see and hear is only the tip of the iceberg, and there must be far more secrets hidden in it. But at the same time, the cathode itself may incarnate into a most evil spirit, and even 'those things' will It was frightened, and the 'he' you heard might refer to this evil spirit, but the evil spirit has been in a deep sleep, and those things dare to be so rampant, they sense that the evil spirit will wake up, and naturally they will be uneasy."
Hearing what the old man said, what he had been in contact with before was only the "tip of the iceberg", and there were evil spirits in it that made those things fear.
Upon seeing this, the old man took three incense sticks from his bag and said, "If you are still afraid, light this incense. This is a way to exorcise the devil. As long as you come out before the three incense sticks burn out, you will be fine."
The incense is thick and long, and it is made of special material. It takes one day and one night to burn all three. Chi Yan calculated the time based on memory and felt that the time was enough, and remembered that his cousin pushed him back then and the hurried "go away", he finally made up his mind and whispered to Ye Yingzhi: " Welcome, I'll go in by myself. I'll come out soon after taking my cousin's bones. You've heard what the old gentleman said, so there won't be any problem."
Ye Yingzhi looked at him lightly and didn't answer, and held his hand tightly but didn't let go at all.
Chi Yan looked at her lover in a daze for a moment, and finally lowered her head and firmly held the other's hand back.
Seeing that Chi Yan had decided to go in, the old man said, "The old man is too old, and he can't hold it any longer. I won't accompany you in and wait for you. I'll go back to the inn and rest first."
Chi Yan naturally had no objection and said goodbye to the old gentleman respectfully. The four of them separated, Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi walked towards the entrance of the cave, and the old gentleman, accompanied by his assistant, returned the same way.
After walking for a while, the old gentleman suddenly turned his head and looked at his assistant with some doubts: "What about those two young men? Why didn't you follow? Or have you already walked in front of us?"
The assistant suddenly stopped and looked at the old man in surprise: "It was you who let that young man go into the cave to collect the bones for his cousin. You also said something about cathodes and evil spirits to the cave. Seeing that the young man did not dare to go in, you even gave him the special soothing incense that you brought with you as a way to exorcise the devil."
"Nonsense!" The old gentleman immediately reprimanded when he heard the words, "I have clearly succeeded in getting the young man's cousin to escape, but I can't do anything about the souls of the other three people. I want to tell the young man that it's over, it's noon now. It's over, the yin has risen, it's better to leave quickly, and don't come back in the future. How could I say those words you said. Did you just fall into evil?"
The assistant was very aggrieved, but the older the old man was, the more unreasonable he was, and there was nothing he could do. In addition to the grievances, there is also a layer of coolness rising up - if it wasn't their old man who said those words in a serious manner just now, who would it be? Or who said that through their old man
On the contrary, the old man was stunned after saying these words. He suddenly realized that the words he wanted to say hadn't really been said. His memory of just now was blank, and he could only trace it back to the time when the practice was completed. He opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, and saw the taciturn young man who had been following the young man surnamed Chi nodded to him, his dark eyes looked over, and he smiled gracefully.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing.
I'm afraid that he is the one who really fell into evil just now.
