Chapter 283: The Old Ghost Is Haunted
I stood in front of the graves of the Zhang family, and my heart once again welled up with desolation.
Zhang Xiaoyun's new grave last year has now become an old grave. But on the far left side of the old graves, there is a new one.
I placed the offering in the middle of the five tombs, and it was from that position that I bowed to the five old and new tombs.
After that, I stood up and sorted out my heart a little, then I raised my head and shouted twice: "Zhang Xiaoyun, Zhang Xiaoyun, you come out!" ”
I was just thinking about giving it a try, but I wasn't sure that Zhang Xiaoyun had returned.
But strangely, as soon as my words fell, I felt a chill coming from behind.
I immediately turned and looked into the elongated shadows of the woods below.
I saw an ethereal shadow, and sure enough, it appeared in that shadow.
"Why did you become Zhang Xiaoyun, don't you call me Xiaoyun?" She was coquettish, and her voice was as crisp and nice as ever.
And her appearance has also not changed, still in a white dress, soft and pure.
"You, you...... Really coming back? Where were you some time ago? Why don't you show up after I've been here a few times? ”
I originally had some thoughts of "rejuvenating the teacher and asking for guilt", because if she really existed, then I can be 100% sure that she must be the one who forced Meng Xiang to leave me and made Meng Xiang extremely angry with me.
And in the two deaths of the Ding brothers in Nanchuan County, there is also an eighty or ninety percent probability that she was responsible.
But when I really saw her appear, I felt so happy in my heart that even the slightest bit of anger was put aside for the time being.
Of course, she sensed my joy, so she smiled like a flower and asked me playfully, "It seems that these days, you still miss me!" ”
As soon as she said it, I didn't feel full of tenderness, but the resentment that was pressed in my heart suddenly came to my head.
"Do you think I want you? But it's good that you're back, but you don't show up, but hide in the secret to hurt me! ”
I gritted my teeth and hated it. She floated in the shadows, biting her lip without excuse.
I'm a little soft-hearted, after all, she intimidated and persecuted Meng Xiang because she liked me.
What's more, she suffered a tragedy at a young age, and although she survived in the world, she could only wander alone in this mountain and forest. Even if you miss me, you can't go to Linnan to see me.
On the contrary, I am accompanied by Meng Xiang every day, even if I remember her in my heart, it is rare for me to come into the mountains to see her in January and February.
So I quickly switched faces and tried to soften the tone as much as possible.
"Forget it! I won't pursue the previous matter, I just want to ...... Don't disturb Meng Xiang again! Meng Xiang is a good girl, she actually knows ...... How much I care about you, but she's never stopped me from coming here to see you! I know how lonely you are now, there used to be your grandfather, and now your grandfather has also passed away, I promise you that I will try to find as much time as possible to see you in the future, just ......"
I suddenly stopped, and a thought came to my mind, and at the same time a question welled up.
Zhang Xiaoyun couldn't go to a place so far from Linnan City, but Meng Xiang was already frightened when he was in Linnan.
And Zhang Xiaoyun's grandfather is the one who has really kept the relief for nearly twenty years, since Zhang Xiaoyun can survive in the world, can't her grandfather?
I stared at Zhang Xiaoyun with two eyes, and there was a thought in my heart that was uncertain.
Zhang Xiaoyun was frightened by my gaze, and asked me a little timidly, "What's wrong?" Why do you suddenly have this expression? ”
I opened my mouth to answer, but at that moment, I felt another chilling feeling, radiating from the woods on Zhang Xiaoyun's left.
So I immediately looked through.
"There's someone else out there, right? Is it Uncle Zhang? ”
Zhang Xiaoyun said "ah", with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "How can you have such a ability now, and you can actually feel my grandfather's existence?" ”
I didn't answer, just looked at the place.
"Grandpa, come out, Gao Li already knows you!" Zhang Xiaoyun shouted.
But there was still only a forest in that place, and there was no other shadow of it.
Instead, I felt the chill quickly dissipate.
And I, in that instant, figured out a lot of questions.
"Why did your grandfather go so far to Linnan?" I asked Zhang Xiaoyun, and it was the only question I was confused about.
"Because his bones were taken to Linnan by you!"
Zhang Xiaoyun replied, probably seeing that I was not satisfied with this answer, so she added a few more words.
"Also...... It has something to do with that statue, too! The power of that statue is ten thousand times more powerful than that relief, but the place where it was placed in the past can shield most of its influence, just like if you used an iron box to put up the previous relief. But now that you have moved that statue out of its original place, Linnan City is far away, but it is still within the scope of its influence. ”
I was blown away by this!
"What do you mean, if there is another sleeping incident next time, even a place as far away as Linnan City will not be spared?"
"Probably not!" Zhang Xiaoyun replied, "It's one thing to have an impact, but ...... It's another thing to put people to sleep! For example, the old relief, even if it is more than ten miles away, I can feel its influence. But at that time, it was placed in room 3, and only the people who were resting in room 3 would be harmed by it, and even the people in room 1 and room 2, which were only separated by a hall, would not have any effect. ”
There is a lot of truth in that.
I feel that the energy emitted by the relief and the statue is similar to radiation, and the ability to penetrate civil structures is already very poor, and metals and the like can completely filter out the parts that are not good for humans.
So I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly decided that after I went back from here, I still had to persuade Expert Zhao to make a big iron cover to cover the statue.
"When your grandfather was in Linnan, he once acted as if he had amnesia, what is going on?" I asked again.
Since Zhang Xiaoyun admitted that her grandfather had stayed in Linnan, it was naturally Uncle Zhang who borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul in Linnan.
This is probably the reason why Uncle Zhang refused to show up to see me, because at his age, he almost did something to rape a woman, and it is no wonder that after recognizing me, he showed extreme shame.
"Not only my grandfather, but I also had a time when I couldn't remember anything! Otherwise, I would have gone to Linnan to find you! Zhang Xiaoyun replied.
"But why? What happened to you, and why did you disappear during this time, not even your grandfather...... Falling off a cliff, you couldn't protect him? I asked.
