walking ghost

After repeated blows, Ah Bao didn't even have the strength to be sad and angry. He just sat on the sofa blankly, watching Ding Haishi and Uncle Qi deal with Mulian's affairs and go into the study.

Qiu Jingyun, Cao Yu, and Sanyuan knew that they had important matters to discuss in secret, so they stood up and said goodbye tactfully.

Yinxuan was about to leave, but was held back by Abao.

Yin Xuan sat down without hesitation.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Bao's face was as calm as the wall behind him.

Yin Xuan sat beside him, touching his shoulder lightly. Although he didn't speak, he expressed his support vividly.

Ding Haishi sat down slowly.After going through this series of events, he seemed to have aged a lot. "You said that I owe you an explanation. This explanation should have been told to you a long time ago, but I didn't have the power to protect you at that time."

Ah Bao frowned and said, "You mean Shang Yu?"

Uncle Qi said, "He's one of them."

Is the divine beast Shang Yu just one of them?

Bao was dumbfounded.On the other hand, Yin Xuan still didn't respond, as if the price for one Shang Yu was the same as for a dozen Shang Yu.

Seeing his expression, Ding Haishi thought he was frightened, and explained: "This is just a guess, there is no specific evidence yet."

A Bao said: "It's good to tell stories to raise suspense, but it's not good to tantalize your appetite. When it's time to export it, you should speak it out. Why don't you just tell me what's going on?"

Ding Haishi took out a diary from the drawer and quietly opened the first page, gently rubbing the top of the paper with his fingers, as if falling into memories.

"It starts from the day you were born. Your due date is May, but on the night of March 31, you clamored to come out. Your mother entered the delivery room, and I waited at the door. I waited for more than three I was born at two o'clock in the morning. I was so happy, so happy, I kept texting my friends and telling everyone the good news, regardless of it was midnight. I got the first reply very quickly, from The head of Jiqing Pai Pan, his reply is very simple, eight characters, Jisi, Dingmao, Xinmao, Jichou, your birth date, it is a cloudy year, a cloudy moon, a cloudy day and a cloudy day.” The joy on Ding Haishi’s face suddenly disappeared. , turned into a lot of worry, as if his mind had been immersed in the story, "The Shande family is blessed by the gods, and the horoscopes of the children and grandchildren's birthdays have always been in harmony with yin and yang, and they are not invaded by ghosts or disturbed by demons. You are in an unprecedented situation. I immediately Please ask Ji Qing to send Sect Leader Pan to divination for you, and Sect Leader Pan quickly gave you four words, the best of the dead."

The recovery of A Bao's memory includes all kinds of things that Ding Guibao did with his body, so Shang Yu's words that he is a good material for corpse handsome are still fresh in his memory.

"Although I have heard about Shang Yu's refining of zombies, I never thought that one day I would have something to do with my child. I don't know how he knew your birth date, and sent people several times to find the family of Shande. Whereabouts, your mother and I were worried that one day you would fall on him and become a zombie puppet in his hands, so we had to ask Master Pan for help. Master Pan introduced us to senior Yinxuan, and we discussed and decided to let you die young."

Ah Bao said, "Fake death?"

Ding Haishi nodded, "Shang Yu is too powerful, if he makes a move, we have no chance of winning at all. In order to ensure a smooth crossing, Senior Yinxuan recruited a lonely soul from the world to be your substitute, and locked your soul in the body. It took nearly a year to be summoned, and Shang Yu finally convinced you that you were really dead. Afterwards, in order to hide your pure yin constitution, the senior suggested that you be admitted to the head of Sima, the ghost control sect."

It turned out that so many people worried about him since he was born.No wonder the patriarch looked at him differently when he first met him, he offered to help him without saying anything, and later let himself follow him directly, because he knew his identity, so he was close to protect him.

……

It was not love at first sight.

While Ah Bao was moved, he couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

Ding Haishi flipped through several pages of the diary in his hand, and he read every page with such care.At that time, although he was frightened, but with Ah Xin by his side, there was always hope in the fear. For him, he was much happier than now. "When things are almost calm, our family will meet secretly, and even let you go back to the island for a while." He indulged himself in the aftertaste of the past, "Do you remember? At that time, as long as you came back, it was like Chinese New Year at home."

Ah Bao raised his head and forcefully forced back the tears.

It's not that I didn't complain that my parents threw me to the master and ignored me, and lived a life where I couldn't even reveal my last name.For a while, he even suspected that he was an illegitimate illegitimate child when he heard others introduce himself by name and surname, but every time he saw his parents caring for him, his complaints and doubts became Feeling guilty, he urged himself to practice spells harder, dreaming of becoming a master as soon as possible and reuniting his family as soon as possible.Unfortunately, this dream was shattered on the day his mother passed away.

The diary in Ding Haishi's hand also turned to this page, "Your mother's health has been poor. In those years, when I was running around, it was Mulian who took care of her by her side. Mulian is your mother's step-sister. , I am also a disciple of the Huolian Sect, so I am very relieved."

Ah Bao was surprised: "Aunt Lian is a disciple of the Huo Lian sect?"

Ding Hai said: "She said she had a disagreement with the head of Huolian Pailao, so she stayed on the island and refused to go back."

Ah Bao suddenly felt that he was very small in this story, seemingly occupying an important position, but hovering on the edge, just like the martial arts cheats in martial arts novels, it is indeed extremely important, but it is just a prop, the development of the plot and The turning point has nothing to do with me, and even the characters only see the most superficial side.

It's not that I don't understand my father's approach.He was too young at that time, even if he told him it would only increase his psychological burden and could not change anything, but he was still annoyed and lost.

"Later your mother became more and more ill. I tried every means to invite Master Pan and begged him to make an exception for me." Ding Haishi lowered his head, the traces of fate entangled in his eyes, and murmured: "At that moment , I almost became a demon."

A Bao looked up in surprise.He had never seen such a father.In my memory, my father always played an extremely perfect role in various fields, compassionate, loving his wife and children, gentle and polite.How could words like Chengmo appear on my father?But looking at the grief in the depths of Ding Haishi's eyes, he believed it, believed in his father's hideous and painful wound under the perfect surface.

"Under my repeated begging, Master Pan agreed to tell your mother's fortune. He counted your mother's life..." Ding Haishi held his forehead, "He said that this is the original trajectory of fate. If there is an external force Maybe it will change. I do charity like crazy, do everything myself, I keep praying and hoping, hoping to change your mother's fate so that she can live a good life."

Ding Haishi shook his head lightly, then vigorously, countless tiredness came out of his hair, as if he would collapse at any time, "Actually, I don't like the Shande family at all. My mission. I once rebelliously left this family, but I met Ah Xin. I came back because I wanted to give her the best. In addition to maintaining the several charitable organizations hosted and participated by the Sundeok family, I gave her the rest of the time. So after Bao gave birth prematurely, I regretted it all the time. I am a sinner of the Sundeok family. It won’t be exhausted, the virtuous family is inexhaustible, and Ah Bao will be blessed by the gods, and will not be born at the time of pure yin! It’s a pity that a big mistake has been made, and it’s useless for me to double it!” His voice became more and more serious. Gao, more and more sad, "But I don't understand, I was the one who was wrong, why the retribution is on the people around me! How I wish it was me who died, how I wish it was me who was in the pure yin body!"

"No!" Uncle Qi pressed his shoulders and said excitedly, "All of this was arranged by fate long ago, and has nothing to do with the master."

Ah Bao sniffed, grabbed Yin Xuan's sleeve and wiped his eyes vigorously. "Dad!" This was the first time he yelled out willingly in recent years, but his voice was choked up. "I don't blame you, and neither does Mom. We all love you."

Ding Haishi raised his head, tears glistened in his red eyes, he sat silently for a long time before wiping his face and said, "Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I can't change your mother's fate."

In the face of the established destiny, manpower seems so small.Man can conquer the sky, it sounds like a hero, but in practice it is like a foolish old man moving mountains, success is a myth.But mythology is the domain of gods, and it is out of reach for mortals.

Ah Bao imagined the pressure and despair his father had endured at that time, and he regretted his reckless behavior more and more, and found it difficult to speak out to comfort him.Fortunately, Ding Haishi continued, "In the last month, I decided to rush back to be with your mother. But at that time, there was a sad news about your mother."

A Bao tremblingly said: "It's Lian..." But the word aunt could not be uttered.

Ding Hai said: "Because I knew that your mother would have such a day sooner or later, so I didn't suspect that someone had tampered with it. I just thought that it was the same as you who were born early and was tricked by fate. I fell into extreme madness at that time. So when I heard Archie say that you want your mother to return to the sun, I thought of a treasure I got not long ago."

Ah Bao said: "Pangu order?"

Yin Xuan looked at him in surprise.

Ding Haishi no longer reads the diary. In fact, the diary is useless to him. Those things have long been deeply engraved in his mind, his soul, and every part of his body!

"I asked Archie to reveal the secret of the Pangu Order to you on purpose. Neither Archie nor I have magic spells. Only you can use it to save your mother."

Ah Bao wondered: "Didn't you... was interrupted by Dad?"

Ding Haishi raised his head and leaned against the back of the chair, and said sadly, "Because I soon realized that I made a mistake again."

A Bao was confused, "I did see my mother in the underworld."

Ding Haishi said: "This is a conspiracy. The meeting between Mulian and your mother, I got the Pangu order, your mother passed away early...all these are carefully arranged conspiracy by others."

Ah Bao couldn't figure it out, "What's the purpose? Could it be that our family... was ruined?"

Seeing that Ding Haishi was agitated, Uncle Qi took the initiative to take over the topic, "Since the young master entered the underworld with the Pangu order, the master has been very worried. He happened to receive a call from the head of Pan, and the master told me about it. He divination for you, but Sect Leader Pan said that there is only one Pangu Token in this world, and it was in the hands of Senior Yinxuan, and he immediately confirmed this to Senior."

Yin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Indeed there are."

Uncle Qi said: "Master immediately thought that this was a conspiracy, and was very worried about your safety. Head Pan has a lot of friends, so he immediately invited two friends to open the altar, and called the young master back from the underworld. It's a pity that he was one step too late. The young master was haunted by the evil spirit of the ghost, and his temperament changed drastically. The master and head master Pan tried various methods but could not completely remove the evil spirit. In the end, they could only use the dream-eating talisman to swallow the young master's memory. It's just that the young master was too resentful, and forced his soul to die Divided into two... Sigh. The young master knows about the later ones."

A Bao said: "What does this have to do with Aunt Lian? Why do you say she hurt your mother?"

Uncle Qi said: "After sending you away, the master started to investigate this matter. Originally, he wanted to find out the origin of the fake Pangu order, but he accidentally found out that Mulian had contacts with the farm that sent the Pangu order. I left an extra Mindful, I secretly tested the food that Mulian gave to the master, only to find out that there was chronic poison in it. Sometimes it was milk, sometimes it was fruit...It is hard to guard against."

Bao's eyes widened in shock.

Uncle Qi said: "This kind of poison will not kill people if it is less than a certain dose, it will only erode people's nerves and make people gradually become demented. If the dosage is too much, it will make people unconscious in a short time and die."

Ah Bao lost his voice: "Mom!"

Uncle Qi nodded sadly and said: "Yes, the master and I are thinking of Madam's early death."

Abao clenched his fists tightly, and the last trace of affection and admiration for Mulian disappeared, leaving only the anger and hatred of being deceived.He took a deep breath and said, "Why has she been at large for so many years?"

"Master wanted to settle accounts with Mulian at the time, but I persuaded him." Uncle Qi said, "Although the Pangu decree is fake, it can indeed command ghosts, and it is absolutely impossible for Mulian alone. She There must be someone behind it. That person is wholeheartedly targeting the Shande family, with a vicious mind and powerful mana, the master and I can only think of Shang Yu."

Ah Bao gritted his teeth bitterly, "That's him!"

Yin Xuan frowned.

The corner of Uncle Qi's eyes never left him, so he was noticed when he moved his eyebrows, "Does Senior Yinxuan have any thoughts?"

Yin Xuandao: "It's not like Shang Yu's style."

Ah Bao was in a state of extreme anger, and when he heard the words, he reprimanded without even thinking: "The bad guy is not capable of double-faced swords! He does one thing on the surface and another on the back, and the pig will believe him!"

After speaking, the room was eerily quiet.

Yin Xuan remained silent.

It was Uncle Qi who asked the question, so he was the only one to round up the situation.He coughed dryly and said: "At first we thought so too. But if it is really Shang Yu, he knows that Master Abao is not dead, so he is studying under the head of Sima. With his ability, it is really easy to capture the young master. There's no need to go in such a big circle."

Ah Bao was on fire just now, only to realize that he had scolded Yin Xuan when he came back to his senses. He felt guilty and anxious, wanted to apologize but couldn't bear it all at once, so he had to shrink his head, but he didn't dare to answer casually.

Yin Xuan felt that the heat source against his shoulder moved away, and there was a thumb-long gap between the position of A Bao and A Bao, so he couldn't help pursing his lips.

Uncle Qi said again: "Master and I analyzed each other's purpose over and over again, and found that no matter how we analyzed it, it was aimed at the young master. Let the wife pass away while the master is away, causing the young master to be dissatisfied with the master, and then provide a fake Pangu order Let the young master venture into the underworld to be stained with evil spirits. Also, although the food Mulian gave the master was poisonous, the food for the young master was very clean. At that time, we were not sure whether the other party was Shang Yu. In order not to startle the snake, we finally Decided to turn a blind eye and close one eye, not to expose Mulian, and secretly buy time to set up a formation on the island that is enough to restrain Shang Yu, and wait until it can protect the young master. It’s just that the master has worked hard every time Mulian sent After eating the food, you have to take the antidote."

Knowing that Ding Haishi did everything for himself, Ah Bao kept wiping his tears with both hands, and asked in a muffled voice, "Didn't she notice anything?"

Uncle Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you find out or not."

Ah Bao got rid of the evil spirit on his body and recovered his memory. The array on the island has been set up, and the time is right, they don't need to bear it any longer.

"Did she say who is behind the scenes?" Ah Bao believed that it was no coincidence that Mulian lived in the wooden house amidst the wind and grass, and the fire in the wooden house was not a coincidence. Her father and Uncle Qi must have done something. The biggest possibility is She was locked up for interrogation, that's why I asked this question.It was useless at all, those things had long been deeply engraved in his mind, his soul, and every part of his body!

"I asked Archie to reveal the secret of the Pangu Order to you on purpose. Neither Archie nor I have magic spells. Only you can use it to save your mother."

Ah Bao wondered: "Didn't you... was interrupted by Dad?"
