This time it was the driver who went to pick up Ji Ci'an when he returned to China.

The driver, Uncle Chen, is about fifty years old, and he has been an old servant of the Gu Mansion since Ji Ci'an can remember.

Uncle Chen's death was the same as that of the previous guest, and there was no trace of anyone else around the body.

"The third one." Old Man Gu rubbed the Buddhist beads in his hand, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.

Lin Bozheng wanted to persuade him to relax: "Master......"

"You go down and deal with it first, I'll be alone for a while."

"Yes."

……

Evening.

Ji Ci'an came to Gu Xiyu's courtyard again, she stood at the door and didn't go in.

There are three big characters on it: Xiyun Courtyard.

After standing for a while, Ji Ci'an pushed the door open, and just wanted to raise his feet to go in-

A gust of cold wind swept in, making it impossible to move.

Ji Ci'an raised his arm to block in front of him, and when the wind passed, the door of the courtyard closed by itself.

She stepped forward and pushed hard, but the door didn't move, it didn't lock it, but it just couldn't be pushed open.

It seems that the owner of this courtyard doesn't want her to go in.

She patted the non-existent ash on her body and turned to leave.

Not this time, she'll come back next time.

When Ji Ci'an's figure walked away, until he couldn't see it, the door of Xiyun Courtyard opened again.

Then, in just three months.

Fifteen people died in a row from the Gu Mansion, two-thirds of them were family members of the Mansion, and the others were people related to the Gu Mansion.

With so many people dying at once, Gu Fu couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Everyone said that Gu Fu was dead because it was haunted.

This ghost, I don't know if it's the eldest lady who died early in the Gu Mansion, or the Marshal Gu who died a few years ago.

Gu's mansion is becoming more and more deserted, and there is fear in the mansion, for fear that he will be the next to die.

There are also people who directly received wages from Lin Bo and left the Gu Mansion.

Since a month ago, Mr. Gu began to chant and pray in the Buddhist hall, abstaining from meat and eating fasting every day.

The affairs of the mansion were handed over to Ji Ci'an and Lin Bo to take care of, but the Gu Mansion was still alive, and it was okay at first, but the police had come to the door in the past few days.

Ji Ci'an hasn't been to Xiyun Courtyard since the last time.

I haven't seen Gu Xiyu again, and that person seems to be really dead and doesn't exist in the world.

At night, Ji Ci'an still went there-

Xiyun Temple.

This time, there was no cold wind that hit for no reason, and the door of Xiyun Courtyard was not closed.

Ji Ci'an walked straight in and stood by the pond.

There was a sudden sound of the door closing behind him, Ji Ci'an turned to look, only to see the courtyard door closed by itself.

When Ji Ci'an turned back again, she saw that the courtyard was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The walls of the courtyard gradually overgrown with moss, and the white lime became dull; The red paint on the door had faded and peeled off, and the paper had peeled off from the window, and the old one hung on the window.

The water in the pond dries up, leaving only the silt and debris at the bottom of the pond, and an unpleasant stench comes out.

Even the peach tree next to it has lost its leaves, leaving only hollowed-out branches, and ants can be seen crawling around from time to time.

The room in front of him was covered with cobwebs, and the air was filled with the stench of dust.

A cold wind suddenly blew beside him, and the soles of Ji Ci'an's feet became colder and colder, and he couldn't stop shivering.

The cold is mixed with fear.

In a trance, the fall in front of me dissipated again, turning into a scene full of spring.

From the perspective of God, Ji Ci'an looked at the two cheerful people who appeared under the peach tree in the yard at some point.

A woman with an amazing appearance and a somewhat youthful teenager.

Both of them are good-looking, the woman has the delicate and small of the Jiangnan people, and the young man has a handsome face, sharp edges and corners, which makes people feel oppressive for no reason.

Ji Ci'an took a closer look, wasn't that young man Gu Xiyu when he was young?

From the words of the two, she finally remembered-

They are the former Gu Xiyu and Gu Yuantian, the eldest lady of the Gu Mansion.

And Gu Yuantian is Ji Ci'an's mother.
