Ryuichi continued: "The man walked through a long corridor and came to a very remote courtyard where there was a small rockery, and when he walked behind the mountain, he disappeared in a flash.

"When you follow the rockery, you look up and there's nothing here. But you are convinced: this is where the man disappeared, and there should be an entrance to the passage.

"You are stroking around on the rockery, hoping to find the mechanism for the entrance. As expected, only a soft sound was heard, and a square hole appeared behind the rockery, which was sixty or seventy centimeters square. You were caught off guard and fell to the sound of a soft sound.

"It was a long staircase, steep and wet. Because you are not mentally prepared, you are sliding down with a wheel.

"At the bottom was a basement, without a single light, pitch black, cold and gloomy.

"You've been hurt by a fall, and it's very hard to get up.

"You grope in the air, moving slowly. Knowing that there would be no one else in the basement, you groped your way around and gently called out to 'Lang Jun'.

"The basement is not very big, and after walking for a while, I found a long box, about half a person high, and the wood is good wood, but I can't find the door and drawer, only a thick lid.

"You want to know what it is, and with trembling hands you take out a small purse from your clothes and pull out a match.

"Your hand was so weak that you could barely hold it, and at last you took a deep breath, calmed down, and finally ignited it on the wooden box.

"In the light, you can see what it is—a coffin!

"You fall backwards in fright, desperately trying to hold back the screams that are about to burst out of your mouth.

"With this faint light, you saw a tablet standing in front of the coffin, leaned over, and saw that it was written: Ai'er by the spirit of the world!

"Your head is like being blown open, your hands are shaking so hard that the match falls from between your fingers to the ground, and it goes out, and it turns dark again.

"You stand in the dark and wonder: 'You Shicong is dead? Who is the person who just came to see me? Don't...... Is it a ghost...... No! No way! Something must be wrong! ’

You take a few steps back and lean against another box.

You subconsciously touched the box behind you again, feeling the same as that one, and your heart was shocked again: Is there still a coffin here?

"You shook all over your body and jumped up like you were being burned. After standing still, he took out a match and lit it again, and held the match to shine forward, and sure enough, it was another coffin. And you also saw a name that made you creepy: the spirit seat of daughter-in-law Leng Junfang!

"At this point, you can no longer suppress the fear in your heart and exclaim: 'Why is this happening? I'm not dead yet, why is there my coffin and tablet here? ’

"'You're dead.'

A cold voice sounds from behind you.

"When you look back in shock, you see your mother-in-law, Lai Huanqin. At this time, he was standing on the steps with a candlestick that had been lit.

"The basement suddenly became bright. You glanced around, and there was a room in the basement, with two coffins, a chair, and an offering table. Fresh pastries and fruits are placed on the table.

Your mother-in-law walked down the steps and put the candlestick on the offering table, while the man sat down on the chair and said to the basement, "It's time, come out!" ”

Immediately, from behind the coffin on which your tablet was written, stood a man dressed in white.

"This person is none other than the man in white who brought you here—your mother-in-law's brother, You Shicong's maternal uncle Lai Bingjin.

"You already smell death. Both siblings are middle-aged, and it is easy to end up being defenseless. But you still asked, 'Mother-in-law, can you tell me why?' ’

"Your mother-in-law took out a few pieces of paper, sprinkled some purple powder on them, and when she lit them, the basement immediately filled the basement with a rich fragrance of flowers.

"Your mother-in-law smiled wickedly and said, 'I will tell you if you don't ask, lest you find your husband, my son Yu Shicong, when you get there.'

"'Now it's just me, your uncle, and you and the three of us here, and after I tell you, you won't have a chance to talk to the outside world, so I'll speak freely to you!

"'Let me tell you the truth, your husband is a baby. Just as you can see, the bones of a baby.

"'He died before he was a year old. But I can't say it to the outside world. At that time, my husband was no longer alive, and he had a younger brother. If I had no offspring, his brother would have banished me. Then he seized all the property of the family.

"'I claim that the child is weak and needs to be maintained in a secret room. I asked my brother to build this basement in secret, buy a coffin for my son, and place him here......"

"'I come here every day to see him and make fresh offerings to him. In my mind, he didn't die, he grew up little by little.

"Because of the 'presence' of this son, my position has been preserved, and so has my family fortune. My brother, your uncle, Le Bingjin, became my butler.

"'This year, my son You Shicong is eighteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. So, I paid a lot of money for you to come and let you accompany my son. ’

"Now you understand everything: it turns out that it is a hoax - a hoax to marry a living wife for the dead! The cup of 'warm tea', the white shadow, the cold hand, and the two coffins in the cold basement!

"Everything is connected to a thread that shows the problem – they want to kill you and bury you here, and she is still a child's son who has been dead for many years.

"You said bitterly, 'You've had this plan for a long time, haven't you?' Bought the coffin early and prepared it? ’

"Your mother-in-law smiled, but laughed more than she cried, and said, 'Yes, I can't leave my son alone. I need a grandson to inherit my property in the family.

"'Go with confidence, and I will declare to the public that you and my son have both gone to a distant land.

"'In a year's time, I will adopt a son for you. Of course, to the outside world, it is said that it is your biological child. This child is not an outsider, he was born and raised by my younger brother, that is, a concubine of your uncle.

"'Oh, and one more thing: the reason why I am marrying my son at this time is because this concubine of my brother is pregnant, two months before you get married. But it doesn't matter, I'll put the child's birth month backward wrong, and after the first birthday, people won't be able to see it.

"'No matter who the biological mother is, he is the flesh and blood of our Lai family, and he will inherit the family property in the future. God didn't know it, and the family's property became our Lai family's. This is called the fact that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. ’

"At this time, you have had a great hallucination, and in your mother-in-law's narration, the husband in your mind has also grown up, from a one-year-old baby, to a young and handsome young man.

"The basement is no longer a cold basement, but a wedding room with big red wedding characters and a big red wedding tent. You walked over to the young man and threw yourself into his arms......

"Then you had a baby—a baby boy bouncing around.

"When your soul goes out of your body and realizes that you are dead, your body has been placed in the coffin that was prepared for you.

"By the time you come to your senses, it's seven days later. When you think back to what happened to you, you can't figure it out. To find out the truth, you sneak into your mother-in-law's dream and ask her how she killed you.

"Your mother-in-law trembled with fright and told you the truth.

"She said that the warm tea you drank on the third night of your wedding put a purple mandala in it. Purple mandala has a strong hallucinogenic effect. In order to control the effect of the medicine, another squid herb is placed in it, which can delay the time when the purple mandala takes effect.

"In this way, when your uncle enters your room, it is the perfect moment for the effects of the medicine to kick in.

"Not knowing how resistant you are, they devised two plans: make your uncle dress up as a ghost, and if they can scare you to death on the spot, they will go straight to the coffin in the basement.

"If the first step doesn't work, lead you to the basement and increase the amount of hallucinogenic drugs. Until it drives you crazy. The reason why they want to do this is because they don't want to make you bloody and scare the soul of her young son.

"I don't know that your drug resistance is still very strong, but you have a slight hallucination. So, there was a scene in the basement.

"Once in the basement, in order to make you hallucinate more intensely, they sprinkled an excessive amount of purple mandala pollen on the burned paper. That's the rich floral scent of the basement, and your beautiful illusion.

"'Why are you all right in the same basement?' You ask, puzzled.

"Your mother-in-law told you that there is a medicine that is the nemesis of the mandala, and they swallowed it beforehand, so they are not afraid. The name of this medicine is 'Resurrection Star'.

"You are furious when you know the truth, and you have been wandering around their homes, looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

"On a windy day, you finally waited for your chance: the cook who burned the fire caught a cold that day, and she was drowsy in a daze. You charmed her and let the fire fall out of the stove and ignite the kitchen.

"Due to the strong wind, it quickly spread to other houses. When people found out, the entire Youjia compound had turned into a sea of fire. Your mother-in-law, Lai Huanqin, and You Shicong's maternal uncle, Lai Bingjin, also died in the fire.

"Your deep hatred has been avenged!

"From then on, you wander in the yang world, picking up the charm of lonely passers-by, sucking their vitality, and enriching your ghost power, in order to achieve the goal of staying in the yang world forever.

"That day in the small temple, if your master didn't have a ghost charm, he would have been charmed by you. In that case, the identities of the two of you are likely to be reversed. ”

Ah Mei looked at Qi Xiaoting in horror and nodded.
