The Haunted

Chi Yan came out of the mourning hall, told Ye Yingzhi about the ghost and the old man, and said that the old man and his assistant would follow them into the mountain tomorrow morning.

The old man said that in order to avoid alarming the enemy, the ghosts should not be able to discover the existence of the two of them, so they would follow behind at a distance, and use weapons to cover the breath of the two of them.

At the same time, Chi Yan also told Ye Yingzhi the precautions that the old gentleman told him.

Chi Yan still can't understand what kind of attitude his lover has towards these strange things.He didn't doubt his own words like those people before, saying that these things don't exist, you must be scaring yourself; And brace yourself to come back here in person to find out as much as possible.

This time Ye Yingzhi was still calm, and didn't react to the appearance of the ghost and the old gentleman. He just put his arms around his shoulders and smiled gently: "We'll just go there, it would be too much if we can really settle your worries alright."

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the ghost really appeared in the hotel and told Chi Yan and Ye Ying to go on the road.

After all these years, there is still only one inn in Hongtu Village, so the old gentleman and his assistant naturally live with Chi Yan and the others, and the rooms are not far from each other.Before going on the road, Chi Yan sent a message to the old man. The old man and his assistant were already ready to go. After receiving the message, he quietly followed them, keeping them within his sight range.

There was a thin fog in the canyon, just like Chi Yan's senior year of high school graduation, the mobile phone lost signal not long after entering the mountain canyon.

Before Chi Yan's arrival, 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 earlier, all of which were equally placed in two large mountaineering bags.What he made was the worst plan, and it was also a more scientific and reasonable arrangement, so that even if he and Ye Yingzhi separated for some reason, both of them would still have the material support to survive.

But Ye Yingzhi was so emotional that he insisted on carrying all the heavy things on his body, and only kept some light food and paper charms in Chi Yan's bag.When Chi Yan reasoned with him, he posted it and kissed him, completely unreasonable.

After setting off, Chi Yan already knew that the thing leading the way in front was a ghost, even if he knew from Liushun's experience that it might just lead them to a certain cave, and would not harm them on the way, he did not dare to leave. That thing is too close; this time, this ghost that looks like Cheng Tao is also different from Liu Shun back then, it didn't take the initiative to approach them, but avoided them, and just led the way silently, which was exactly what Chi Yan wanted.

The old gentleman and his assistant also staggered some distance away from Chi Yan and the others. The canyon was extremely empty, covered by the mist, it seemed as if there were only the two of them.

Ye Yingzhi suddenly stretched out his hand quietly and firmly held Chi Yan's hand: "So what are you worried about, taking out the things in the bag and arguing with me. We are holding each other like this, how could we lose it?"

After saying these words, he held Chi Yan's hand tightly again, and looked at the road in front of him, his gaze seemed far away, as if he had fallen at the end of the world, but the voice that fell on his ears was so gentle that he almost wanted to Chi Yan wrapped it all up: "Even if you lose it, I will find you soon."

With his appearance, it seemed that he was casually saying such words, Chi Yan could only feel the warmth in his heart, like a heart turned into chocolate, but it was still held in the palm of someone's hand, it almost melted.Even Ye Yingzhi couldn't bear to argue with him about the random distribution of the supplies in the backpack before, so he deliberately muttered with a straight face: "Why are you so confident, you are not a god."

Ye Yingzhi also turned her head to teach him with a stern face: "Don't believe in these superstitions, there is no god in this world."

The two of them held hands like this, leaning on each other and whispering to each other, talking about rambling or boring or disgusting things, they just felt extremely happy for a while, not only forgot about ghosts and old gentlemen, but even about to come I forgot what I did.

The ghost leading the way would stop and wait for them from time to time, while the old gentleman behind him stared at the backs of the two of them from a distance, but he had no choice but 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 around three o'clock in the afternoon. forward.

The old man had no intention of letting this ghost go, he only planned to use it to find the cave in Chi Yan's description.Because let it go today, it may reappear in the future to confuse and frame other passers-by who don't know.

Therefore, as soon as they saw the ground, the old man and his assistant quickly stepped forward and trapped the ghost there with a few prepared red ropes soaked in rooster blood.The power of the ghost itself is not strong, but it has a human form, which can confuse people. It attracts blood for evil spirits and ghosts, and helps those things to harm people. After being trapped by the old man and affixed with an exorcism spell Dissipated with a distorted howl.

Although Chi Yan couldn't see the ghost's face clearly, but the other person's whole body was dressed like Cheng Tao back then. Seeing the other party disappear like this, he still felt extremely uncomfortable, his heart seemed to be wrapped in plastic wrap Just like wrapping it up tightly.At this time, Ye Yingzhi passed through his fingers and firmly clasped his hand, pressing it silently.

Chi Yan turned to look at him, Ye Yingzhi still had that gentle and indifferent appearance, but Chi Yan's heart also eased and calmed down.

Afterwards, the old man informed Chi Yan, and began to try to save Wang Sheng and the other three.

With the help of his assistant, the old man first knelt down on the ground and drew a magic circle, then lit incense candles and pasted talisman papers on several key positions, then sat cross-legged in front of the magic circle, closed his eyes, and began to mutter get up.

Chi Yan couldn't understand this spell-casting process at all, but felt it was mysterious and vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen others cast spells before.These thoughts just passed by in a flash, and what was more in my heart was my gratitude to the old gentleman.Leaving aside whether this spellcasting is effective or not, the old man is quite old and has never lived with him. Just because he happened to pay homage to that mother-in-law, he was willing to take the trouble to go with him. 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 practice, and now there is only one last step left, your cousin's bones are still there when you came out last time That place, as long as you take out his body and bury it. Otherwise, he will have no peace."

Hearing this, Chi Yan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, hesitantly said: "...Didn't you tell me yesterday not to enter the cave no matter what the ghost said? Why are you letting me in now, will it be dangerous?"

The old man shook his head: "One moment and another moment. You can just do what I say, I have already done it, and there will be no danger."

Hesitation was still a little uneasy: "I still remember when I came last time, I always heard many voices whispering the words 'He is going to wake up' in a low voice, and I always felt hairy when I heard it. Do you know what's going on? "

The old man turned to the cave in front of him, pointed and said: "If I read correctly, there is a cathode inside, which gathers the most yin and evil energy in the world, and those ghosts and monsters are attracted by this yin and evil energy. They will gather here and use this cave as their support. Over time, this place itself will also breed these evil monsters. So it is not surprising that you see those harmful things in it, and encounter those weird things, even the last time you What you see and hear is just the tip of the iceberg, and there must be more than that hidden in it. But at the same time, the cathode itself may materialize into a most evil evil spirit, and even 'those things' will be horrified. It feels afraid, the "he" you heard may refer to this evil spirit, but the evil spirit has been in a deep sleep, so those things dare to be so rampant, they will be aware that the evil spirit will wake up, and they will naturally be disturbed."

Hearing what the old man said, what he had been in contact with before was just the "tip of the iceberg", and there were evil spirits inside that made those things fear.

Seeing this, the old man took three incense sticks out of his bag: "If you are still afraid, light this incense. This is the incense for guiding the way and exorcising demons. As long as you come out before the three incense sticks burn out, you will be fine."

The incense is very thick and long, and it is made of special materials. It burns one by one, and it takes about a day and a night to burn all three.Chi Yan calculated the time based on his memory, and felt that the time was enough, and then remembered his cousin pushing him back then and the hasty "go quickly", 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 heard what the old man said, there won't be any problem."

Ye Yingzhi looked at him indifferently and didn't respond, holding his hand tightly but didn't let go at all.

Chi Yan stared blankly at his lover for a moment, finally lowered his head, and firmly held his lover's hand back.

Seeing that Chi Yan had already decided to go in, the old gentleman said: "The old man is getting old, he really can't hold on, so he won't accompany you in and won't wait for you, go back to the inn to rest first."

Chi Yan naturally had no objection, and bid farewell to the old gentleman respectfully.The four separated, Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi walked towards the entrance of the cave, while the old man returned the same way accompanied by his assistant.

After walking for a while, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at his assistant with some doubts: "Where are the two young men? Why didn't they follow? Or have they already walked ahead of us?"

The assistant stopped immediately and looked at the old man in surprise: "It was you who let the young man go into the cave to collect his cousin's bones. You also talked about cathodes and evil spirits to that cave, and finally Seeing that young man was afraid to go in, he even gave him the special tranquilizing incense that you carried with you as a guide and exorcism incense.”

"Nonsense!" The old man scolded immediately when he heard the words, "I clearly succeeded in saving the young man's cousin just now, but I can't do anything to the souls of the other three. I want to tell the young man that the matter is over, and it's noon now In the past, Yin Qi has risen, it is better to leave as soon as possible, and don't come back again. How could I say what you said. Are you bewitched just now?"

The assistant felt aggrieved, but the older the old man became, the more unreasonable he became, and there was nothing he could do.Aside from the grievance, there was also a layer of coolness - 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 gentleman 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 is blank, and he can only trace 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, looked over with dark eyes, and smiled gently.

He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

I'm afraid I was the one who was really bewitched just now.
