Chapter 132: Guardian Ghost
Ji Zimo and Xing Ling came to a large space, which was also the end of the dark passage in the basement.
There was a door here, and it was evident that it hadn't been opened for a long time. A large rusty iron lock, also hung alone with cobwebs.
In order to avoid the casting of the spell from alarming more ghosts, when she tried to destroy the rusty iron lock to no avail, she suggested that Ji Zimo find a hammer, or half a brick or something, as long as she could smash the iron lock.
Ji Zimo agreed with Xingling's suggestion, didn't say much, and turned around to look for tools. There are no bricks in the basement, and the toolbox can't be placed in the wrong place. In the end, he picked up a thumb-thick steel bar and pried the lock open in three or two clicks.
When the iron lock was picked, the vibration was quite heavy, and the dust that was raised was scattered on their heads and faces like rain.
Xing Ling covered his mouth and coughed, and Ji Zimo sneezed several times in succession. I didn't have a tissue to wipe my nose, so I wiped it with my cuffs at will, and when I looked at my watch, I was surprised to find that the watch didn't know when it stopped.
"Huh! Stopped. ”
Xing Ling also came to see, raised his eyebrows, narrowed his beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "It's good to stop." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Curiosity kills cats." Without much explanation, the Star Spirit pushed the door open, and with a dull creak, another puff of dust fell. She covered her mouth and walked in first.
This place is the hinterland of the basement, and the air is cloudy, and there is a feeling of being out of breath. But he didn't dare to breathe hard, once he breathed, the smell of decay and mold everywhere was stronger than just coming in, and the seemingly calm space was dust except for cobwebs. Standing here, Ji Zimo suddenly had an indescribable sense of fear, for fear that if there was an earthquake or something, they would fall into a catastrophe.
I was worried about whether there would be other ghouls, but along the way, now that I think everything is going well.
Entering the house, Xing Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and did not follow Ji Zimo's flashlight, but with the help of the light on the side of the flashlight, he walked around at will, and the ground was full of inch-thick plaster, which was really one step at a time.
borrowed the flashlight in Ji Zimo's hand and shook it, and saw the switch with a light. There were also light bulbs hanging in mid-air covered in cobwebs, a dilapidated desk, and an open wooden cage on the floor. On the left wall, there is a row of small shelves nailed to the top of the wall, where small and more commonly used miscellaneous items such as books are placed.
On a blue bookcase there was a grime-covered magnifying glass, and several stools were covered in cobwebs. Ji Zimo stretched out his hand to press the light switch, but the flashlight swept straight and fixed on the wooden cage, he felt that he had seen this wooden cage somewhere.
The last time I went to the basement to bump into my grandmother, it was only outside this utility room, but it was the first time I entered this more secret, hidden secretary's room, which had never set foot in a single step.
The Star Spirit was watching.
Pap ~ Pap click a few times in succession, the bulb flashed and flashed, just like the situation of a bad short circuit, a flash of red light, and the surroundings were still dark.
"This is supposed to be your grandfather's study." Xing Ling made a judgment and whispered to Ji Zimo.
Ji Zimo nodded: "I haven't been here once."
"You saw Grandma in that position?"
Ji Zimo replied without thinking: "Just the location where we met the ghoul." ”
The star spirit sighed, his gaze fixed on the bookshelf against the wall. On the bookshelf, there is a flower pot covered with dust. The flowers in the pot are plastic flowers, covered with cobwebs.
Ji Zimo is also looking at the flower pots on the bookshelf, the more he looks at it, the more awkward it becomes, what do you say is the matter with a flower pot on the shelf? Under the gaze of the star spirit, he raised his hand and expected to pick up the flower pot, but when he touched the flower pot, there was a creak from behind the bookshelf, similar to the sound of walls rubbing against each other.
Then they were surprised to see that there was a room behind the bookshelf.
Ji Zimo shook his flashlight and looked after the door frame of the black hole without a door. He had never entered the small study, let alone seen it, and he had heard that there was such a strange place in the Ji family's old mansion.
"Could this be the treasure room of the Ji family's old mansion?" Xing Ling asked quietly, snatched the flashlight from Ji Zimo's hesitant hand, and led the way in.
Ji Zimo was stunned for a moment and followed behind her.
The star spirit who led the way in, in the shaking of the flashlight, hurriedly pulled back and said incoherently: "He, they are, they are ......"
Ji Zimo held Xing Ling, in his opinion, in addition to laughing, this girl also has a characteristic that she is not afraid of the sky and the earth, what can make her afraid of being like this? While holding her, he took the flashlight and shone it inside.
Bang Chang~ The flashlight fell to the ground from Ji Zimo's hand, making an empty sound.
In this chamber, there are two corpses that have been dried and looked like mummies. There are still moments of death on their wrinkled and crumpled faces, and they are unwilling and reluctant to open their mouths fiercely, as if to tell them something when they come in. Especially those two empty eye sockets, as if staring at him.
The skeletons in their arms are the parents that Ji Zimo is looking for. He fell to his knees, tears slipped down silently, he kowtowed a few times to his parents, and said with tears in his eyes: "Unfilial piety only found you now, it's really damned!" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, your parents didn't die at the time, but both crawled in here after they were injured." Xing Ling's heart was palpitating, and he did not comfort Ji Zimo, but analyzed the problem based on what he saw with his own eyes.
In order to confirm whether Xingling's analysis was correct, Ji Zimo, with her encouragement, personally cleaned up the bones for his parents. He found two skeletons, neither of which were fatal, and found mud stuffed between the fingernails of their remains.
It is even more certain that the parents helped each other to hide in this secret room after they were injured.
According to Xingling's careful testing, it was determined that the time of Ji Zimo's parents' death was probably before the night of the last ghost moon full moon.
From this, it is certain that it was not Ji Xiaofeng or Ji Zimo who killed his parents, but someone else.
Ji Zimo didn't dare to say what she thought hypothetically, Xing Lingcai didn't care so much, she said openly: "Your sister did it." ”
"Impossible, impossible, Yan Budao said that I killed him, and he killed him in my body." Ji Zimo's frenzied fist slammed against the door frame, making a clattering sound, and the tiger's mouth cracked and bleed.
Xing Lingjiao said angrily, "Why are you so stupid, do you know the reason why I brought you here this time?" ”
Ji Zimo lowered his head, his chest rose and fell violently, but he didn't say anything.
Xing Ling continued: "Ji Shanshan is unwilling to be trapped in the Ji family's old mansion for the rest of her life, she hates everyone, including your parents. ”
"It's impossible, Shanshan doesn't know where her parents are, so it's possible that she killed her. She was my parents' precious daughter, and I remember when I was a child, my parents always scolded me, saying that I had no love and would not love my sister. Ji Zimo's face was blue, and he wished that he was the one who died. In fact, when he was pointed out by Yan Budao for hurting his parents, he felt so uncomfortable that he even wanted to die.
At that time, I was still thinking that even if he didn't kill it, it was another person in the body who did it.
Now it seems that the cause of death of my parents is different. They both hugged each other and died in this dark and strange place, because there was something more terrible than a ghost outside, and they did not dare to go out.
And Ji Shanshan had an accident after the death of her parents, and the cause of her death was related to her boyfriend.
Ignoring the old man's legacy, she went out to look for her missing boyfriend on the night of the full moon of the ghost moon, and as a result, her young life was ruined.
"That's your parents compensating her, and they feel guilty."
"Don't talk about it, what do you say next!"
"Cremate your parents, and put the ashes here for the time being, and then take them away when the curse is resolved."
"Hmm." Ji Zimo could only think like this, they still had a lot to do, and in this situation, Xing Ling was calmer and more assertive than him.
In this way, Ji Zimo once again bowed to the bones of his parents and knelt on the ground.
He was kneeling down to his parents, and Xingling was not idle, she looked carefully into the room. found that this place was like a small collection room, with a lot of antiques and all kinds, and she was dazzled.
If there is no curse in the Ji family's old mansion, the next person to take over the key to this secret room will have no second person except Ji Zimo.
Just because of the curse, Ji Zimo's parents were partial, protected him and reluctantly abandoned their daughter Ji Shanshan, so that they were killed by their own flesh and blood.
When Xing Ling was admiring these antiques, a startled laugh suddenly came from his ears, "Hahaha, little fox fairy, you are smart and confused for a while, and you are the last guardian ghost of my Ji family's old mansion." ”
"Ji Zimo." Xing Ling shouted, and when he turned to look, Ji Zimo had already finished worshipping and kowtowing.
Ji Zimo didn't understand why Xing Ling suddenly screamed, he glanced at the antiques with tears and cobwebs on his face, "Why are you calling me?" ”
The star spirit didn't make a sound, and quickly spun around in place to make sure there was nothing abnormal. Cai said uneasily: "Did you hear laughter and talking just now?" ”
"No, what?"
"Your sister is nearby."
"Huh?" Ji Zimo looked around, the cold, dead space, there was no one else but the two of them. Oh, by the way, Ji Shanshan is no longer human, she is the guardian ghost of the old mansion.
"Coward, brother is a coward." Ji Shanshan's giggling laughter came from the space, and Ji Zimo covered his ears nervously and squatted on the ground in pain.
Curse! Abominable curse. Xing Ling helped him up, staggered out of the secret room, and the door behind him slammed and slammed shut.
"Them." Ji Zimo turned around sharply, no matter how he pushed it, the door couldn't be pushed open.
"Coward, brother is a coward." The laughter is in the ears, overhead, in front and back, left and right.
Seeing that Ji Zimo was in turmoil, Xing Ling would definitely have a nervous breakdown if he continued to develop. She hurriedly helped him to sit down, cross-legged mode, sitting opposite each other, pointing to the trick, silently reciting the mantra, her eyes were red, and a beam of dazzling light pierced the darkness, swishing to Ji Zimo's forehead.
After Ji Zimo felt a scorching heat, his body and mind were comfortable, and he felt as light as a swallow, and he no longer had the sudden irritability and panic before.
The spiritual power that the star spirit entered into Ji Zimo's body was like a gurgling spring, nourishing the heart and activating the human emotions that were about to die. Because of the demonic power, he almost lost his mind, went berserk, and collapsed.
The star spirit input Ji Zimo's spiritual power, consuming a lot of energy, her face was pale, her lips were light purple, her brows frowned slightly, and her body shook, but fortunately he held it in time so that she didn't fall.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine." Xing Ling smiled bitterly, let the beads of sweat roll on his forehead, pointed to the way he came, and said, "Let's go over there to find it." ”
"Looking for Grandpa's bones?"
"Hmm."
