Chapter 078: Family
Feeling Lingling's yin qi surging, I couldn't tell the specific direction, so I could only wave the long sword.
Ning Ning wanted to tell me the direction, but was slapped to the ground by Lingling.
A chill suddenly came from my shoulder, and Lingling's vicious voice sounded: "Mu Zitong, you are a pure yin spirit body, I want to suck your blood dry!" ”
I followed my instinct and swung my sword at it, but it missed.
Just as I felt that Lingling was about to bite me, a more powerful Yin Qi suddenly appeared around me, and at the same time, Lingling's painful wail was heard.
"Who?" Lan Jingrun shouted.
Ning Ning handed me wet wipes, I wiped them for a long time, and finally vaguely saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
"Red Ghost?" I shouted tentatively.
The red figure moved and walked to my side: "Yo, the queen of the underworld still remembers his subordinates!" ”
"Queen of the Dead!" Lingling was shocked when she heard this sentence in her wail: "Mu Zitong is the queen of the underworld?!" ”
The red ghost glanced at her condescendingly: "Yes, the queen of the underworld!" Assassinating the queen of the underworld is a capital crime, you, die again! He said with a wave of his hand, and the fire on Lingling's body intensified, engulfing her at once, and she didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.
After a while, the red lotus fire dispersed, and there was nothing over there.
The red ghost looked at it in disgust, and I asked, "Why are you here?" ”
The red ghost was even more disgusted, and spit out two words: "Errand." ”
"Is it stealing souls with black and white impermanence again?" I complained.
The red ghost pouted: "Last time it was just careless!" ”
"So what are you doing?" I asked casually.
"What else can I do, protect you. The two Hades have commanded, but there is no way. The red ghost looked reluctant.
I was a little surprised: "Then the ghost who has been secretly following me in the past few days has always been you?" ”
"It's covert protection!" Red Ghost Corrects.
The stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground, and suddenly I remembered something.
"No, why didn't you come in when Leng Moyuan and I went down the well?" Let him always dislike me! I'm going to Mo Han to sue him for dereliction of duty!
"Do you think I don't want to go in? I'll have to get in! "When the red ghost talks about this, he is also full of fire.
Seeing that I didn't understand, he explained: "You are the key to enter that place, and only with you can you go in." ”
I was shocked: "Why am I the key?" "It's a place that's been laid out for at least three thousand years, how can it have anything to do with me?
The red ghost seemed to want to say something, but in the end chose to remain silent. He walked to the lamb kebab stall, took several deep breaths at the lamb kebab grilled there, and actually began to eat white food.
There were originally a few food stalls here, but after Lingling's father appeared, he scared everyone away.
However, before leaving, the police were also called.
After the police came, it was Lan Jingrun who solved it, and both sides seemed to be acquaintances.
There was a red ghost, so Lan Jingrun didn't insist on sending me and Ning Ning anymore.
Living alone in such a big villa, I was scared, so I moved back to the dormitory. The red ghost looked at the pile of yellow talismans in my hand and was silent.
After two days of comfortable life, I suddenly received a call from home. As soon as I connected it, it was my mother's hoarse sobbing, and I panicked when I heard it: "What's wrong with my mother?" Don't you cry, you tell me? Did you quarrel with my dad? ”
"It's not...... It's your dad and your brother...... They...... They're dying...... "My mom howled.
My heart suddenly cut like a knife: "How can two people die together?" What happened to them? ”
"I don't know...... Your grandmother said it was a ghost...... She came to exorcise them...... Who would have thought, who would have thought that she would also fall! Hitomi, come back quickly, Mom really doesn't know what to do......"
"I'll be right back!"
After buying a ticket home, I told Ning Ning, and I rushed to the train station without caring that I was still in class. As soon as I got off the train, I rushed to the hospital according to the address given by my mother.
My dad and my brother were in the intensive care unit, and according to my mom, the two of them didn't know what was going on, and all of a sudden, they collapsed in one day, and when they came to the hospital, their skin began to turn black, as if they were burned.
I walked into the ward, and when I opened the door, I felt a yin aura with the smell of burning. I frowned, looked at my dad's bedside, and sure enough, there was an old ghost standing in pitch black, sucking his essence!
"Get out of here!" I was immediately furious, and the Wuji Jade in my hand was thrown at him with a bang.
Maybe it was a little far away, but the ghost avoided my jade slip, looked at me in a terrible way, and hid in the wall.
My mom looked at me and suddenly became more worried: "Hitomi, what's wrong?" Don't scare mom ......"
"Mom, I'm fine. It is...... I just saw something at my dad's bedside. "For fear of scaring her, I said it very tactfully.
My mom was still a little scared: "Is there really a ghost?" In the past two days, I have been with your father and brother, and I have been feeling cold in my back, as if I am being stared at by someone...... Is there really one? ”
At home, only my grandmother knew a little bit about ghosts and gods. My mother was originally a pure materialist, but in order not to make a conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although she did not support my grandmother in her heart, she did not stop her.
I took out the yellow talisman that Lan Jingrun gave me from my bag: "Mom, I have a senior who is a disciple of Zeyun City Qingxuguan, and he gave me these talismans." Since the doctors don't know what's going on, let's give it a try. ”
My mom was worried about my dad and brother, so she agreed without even thinking about it. I gave each of them a talisman to defend themselves, and placed a talisman folded into a triangle in each of the four corners of the ward to form an enchantment to protect them.
My dad's burns were severe, and I knew it was because the burned ghost had absorbed his essence and transferred his own injuries to my dad.
The younger brother is slightly better than his father, he has a talisman around his neck, which is already half black, it should be blocked by the amulet, and the ghost does not dare to approach easily.
I went to see my grandmother again, and it was because of the yin qi entering the body, and because of the old age, I fell unconscious.
My mother and I pushed the hospital bed to the window together, let my grandmother bask in the sun, and I gave her a bowl of yin dispelling charm water according to the method taught by Lan Jingrun.
The nurse who came in to make rounds saw me like this, and almost kicked me out as a magic stick, but it was the red ghost who came out to trick the ghost and made the nurse not shout.
The next morning, Grandma woke up first. She is half a goddess, her body has always been strong, and now she can get out of bed. Seeing the charm in my father's ward, she was a little surprised: "Hitomi, you laid it all out?" ”
I nodded and explained, "It was taught to me by a senior in Qingxuguan. ”
Grandma's eyes showed admiration: "It's not a loss, it's a clear view!" ”
As he was talking, my brother also woke up, and when he saw me, he was a little curious: "Sister? How did you get back? ”
"You and Dad are down, can I not come back?" I laughed.
As soon as he heard my words, he immediately looked at my dad and said nervously, "How is Dad?" ”
"The burns on my body are receding, and I should be waking up soon." My mom let out a long sigh of relief.
My brother was relieved to hear this.
The burns on his body were not very serious, and my grandmother hurriedly asked him questions: "Yunzhi, don't be afraid, tell grandma, how did you provoke that ghost?" ”
I was taken aback, I thought that the injuries of the two were provoked by my father, but I didn't expect it to be my younger brother.
My brother shook his head: "I don't know, I originally felt as if someone was following me, but later, I felt uncomfortable, and the amulet began to turn black, and then that morning, Dad had an accident......"
When my mother saw the half-blackened amulet, she remembered the safety of my father and brother, and she also believed it: "Mom, what can I do about this?" Our family hasn't done anything bad, why was it entangled by ghosts! ”
I couldn't bear to tell her that her daughter was married to the ghost.
Grandma sighed: "Who knows! The pupil's talisman is clear, and the ghost doesn't dare to come over. It's just that if you want to solve the ghost, you still have to know the cause and effect. Yunzhi, then tell me, have you been to those strange places in the past two days? ”
My brother Mu Yunzhi shook his head.
My mother sighed: "Yunzhi is in his third year of high school, and it's too late to review at school every day, where do I have time to go to some strange places." ”
She was worried, and suddenly she seemed to think of something: "Eh, Mom, it shouldn't have been provoked at school, right?" Hitomi has been in poor health since she entered that high school. Now that I'm graduating and going to college, it's better! ”
Grandma looked at me, but there was a little more worry in her eyes: "Hitomi, how are you doing lately?" ”
I nodded, "Good." "It doesn't hurt even when my aunt comes.
Grandma was a little relieved, but also a little confused.
My mother urged, and my grandmother thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go to Yunzhi's school in a while." ”
I didn't worry about my grandmother alone, so I hurriedly said, "I'll go too." ”
Grandma thought about it and agreed.
At this time, my dad also woke up, and he asked about Yunzhi's situation, and he was very happy to see me.
After all, he went to teach during the summer vacation, and he hadn't seen me for most of the year.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and my father smiled: "Yunzhi's grades are good now, similar to when you were at that time, your mother and I want him to be admitted to your school, and when your sister and brother are together, you can take care of it." ”
I smiled and agreed, and was about to ask my brother what he meant, when I turned my head to see him sitting with his head hanging down with a dull expression.
My dad woke up, and my mom was very happy, and she went to buy us lunch because we hadn't eaten much.
My grandmother and my dad chatted a few words, and I was afraid that my mother wouldn't be able to take it alone, so I went together.
I always thought that my brother was sitting next to me and listening to me and my dad chatting, and no one thought about how he became like this.
"Yunzhi? Yunzhi! Mu Yunzhi! "I shouted a few times, but my brother didn't respond.
My dad was anxious: "What's wrong with Yunzhi?" ”
I shook my head, my grandmother happened to come in, and when she saw this scene, she was anxious: "Yunzhi is this...... This ......"
"Mom, what's wrong with Yunzhi? Say it! My mother's eyes turned red again.
"I don't know...... It's just fine! How can it be good...... "My grandmother is also in a hurry," he looks like he has lost his soul, but he was fine just now, and it doesn't look like it! ”
I thought of the red ghost, walked to the balcony, and shouted twice: "Red ghost? Red Ghost? Come out! If you don't come out, I'll tell Mo Han that you are derelict in your duties! ”
"The subordinates are here." An impatient voice sounded, and half of the red ghost was exposed outside the wall of the ward, and the other half was still buried in the wall.
"What's wrong with my brother?" I asked him.
He glanced at the ward: "The barrier you set up blocked my view, and I don't know what's going on inside. Either he comes out, or I force my way in. ”
If he is allowed to break in, the enchantment inside is estimated to be useless.
I turned back to the hospital room and made up a reason, saying that I would let him bask in the sun, and let my mother help my brother sit on the chair and take him out.
Because my grandmother could see the Yin Spirit, the red ghost hid. After a while, I took my brother back.
When I turned back again, the red ghost said to me, "A man has three souls and seven spirits, and he is missing one. ”
"But it was normal just now, and when I woke up, I asked my dad about it, why is it like this when I turn around?"
The red ghost thought for a while: "Maybe when you lost that soul, you were very concerned about your father, and this obsession remained in the rest of the souls." After asking, I knew that your dad was okay, the obsession disappeared, and he became like this. ”
"So what's the way to recover? Is it okay to get that one back? I asked.
The red ghost nodded: "However, you have to hurry, the soul will be out of the body for seven days, and you won't be able to put it back." ”
My heart tightened: "How many days have it been now?" ”
"Six and a half days, and by the end of tomorrow, we must find the one he lost." The Red Ghost reminded.
My face sank: "Can you find it?" ”
"I don't know what happened to him, I can't find it." The red ghost shook his head.
I had a flash of inspiration: "By the way, did you see the ghost that escaped from my dad's hospital room before?" Where did he go? Is there a clue? ”
If I can catch that ghost, I might be able to ask him something!
The red ghost spread his hands: "Dead again." ”
My face sank, and the red ghost looked helpless: "He wants to be unfavorable to you, I'll solve it first, and save me trouble later." ”
The ghost doesn't entangle a person for no reason, the ghost was obviously burned alive, and judging by the burnt black clothes on his body, he should be an employee of a factory.
You can start here.
When I returned to the ward, my grandmother was already packing up her things and preparing to go to Yunzhi School.
When Yunzhi had an accident six days ago, he should still be in school and should have nothing to do with the school.
However, the school belongs to the scholarly family, and half of them have the aura of Haoran, unless it is a ghost inside the school, otherwise, it is difficult for the ghosts outside to enter.
That ghost obviously couldn't have been provoked by my brother at school.
Time was running out to find him, so I decided to split my ways with my grandmother.
I gave a lot of the charms given by Lan Jingrun to my grandmother, taught her how to use them, and sent her out.
Walking out of the ward, my grandmother grabbed my hand: "Hitomi, you tell your grandmother the truth, have you also hit a ghost?" ”
The red ghost is very hidden, was it still discovered by my grandmother?
I looked at her hesitantly: "Grandma, am I like a ghost?" I'm in good health, and I haven't had any bad luck. ”
Grandma frowned: "The yin qi on your body is too heavy." Strange to say, other people have such a heavy yin qi, it is impossible to be as good as you. ”
Those who have completed their marriages, can the yin qi on their bodies not be heavy......
Afraid that my grandmother would be worried, I lied to her: "Grandma, don't worry about me, I'm fine anyway." You see, don't I still have a bunch of pure spells here? It's going to be fine. ”
Catching a glimpse of those bright yellow charms, Grandma was slightly relieved.
When my grandparents and grandchildren got out of the hospital, my grandmother was worried that I would have a lot of yin qi and a ghost, so she said she wouldn't let me go with me. After she left, I followed the news I had found on the Internet and went on a different path.
I found out on the Internet that not far from my brother's school, there was a fire in a factory, which started at noon and was extinguished until dark.
Among them, many factory workers were killed, and one firefighter was killed in the line of duty.
The ghost who sucked his essence in my dad's hospital room during the day yesterday was identified by the blurred clothes on his body, and it should have been a worker in that factory.
However, how could a guy who has only been a ghost for a long time have the ability to run out of the factory and follow my brother into my house?
Soon they were in front of the factory where the accident had occurred, which had been burned to the ground of black ruins, and a yellow cordon had been drawn in the distance, and a strong smell of burnt and pungent chemicals was still in the air.
Since there was no one else around, the red ghost walked up to me and reluctantly asked, "Do you really want to go in?" The house could collapse at any moment. I'm a ghost, it's okay if the house collapses, you can't. ”
"Then you can go in and help me see the situation?" I said.
The corners of the red ghost's mouth twitched, as if he regretted that he had just spoken too much. However, it is estimated that if I had a case, he would not have the face to see Mo Han, and the red ghost agreed.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to wait for him here and not to cause trouble for him.
Hehe, I'm the one who gave the order, okay!
The figure of the red ghost quickly disappeared into the house.
I stood outside the cordon, looking at the dark house, and shivered inexplicably.
Last time, Mo Han was just to save me from being burned to death, so he would abandon his cultivation.
The ruins in front of me, although the yin atmosphere is not as strong as the old mansion last time, still makes me feel very uncomfortable. There was a lot of yin qi faintly floating there, with an extremely painful resentment.
I don't want to think about the pain of being burned alive.
Seeing that there was no one around, I conjured up a piccolo and played a requiem gently.
Under the quiet and soft sound of the flute, the resentment wandering in the house gradually decreased.
"Your flute plays so beautifully."
Suddenly, I heard this sentence coming from the side.
I turned my head warily and saw a boy standing next to me who looked to be about my brother's age.
"What's that tune? Sounds sad. He added.
"I don't have a name, it's just that it's uncomfortable to think that so many people are dying here." I looked at his feet, and there was a shadow, a living man.
He seemed to notice my gaze and said to me, "What are you doing here?" I've heard it's haunted. ”
"Haunted, what are you doing here?" I asked him.
His eyes seemed to darken: "My best friend has an accident, I'm here to look for clues." ”
I raised my eyebrows: "What's your friend's name?" What happened? ”
"Mu Yunzhi, I don't know what's wrong with him, he has extensive burns." He said.
I was taken aback: "Are you Yunzhi's friend?" He's been here, hasn't he? ”
He nodded slightly: "You and Mu Yunzhi?" ”
"He's my brother."
"Mu Zitong!" He called out my name at once, and seeing that I was puzzled and surprised, he explained: "Mu Yunzhi mentioned you to me. Also, you were admitted to Chuni University, and your photo is still hanging on the school's honor wall! No wonder you look so familiar! ”
I didn't expect that I would be so famous at my alma mater after graduation.
"Then tell me, what is Yunzhi doing here?" I asked him, "By the way, what's your name?" ”
"Tong Chifei, Mu Yunzhi's tablemate." He laughed.
I nodded: "Tell me quickly, why did Yunzhi come here?" ”
He looked at me with three points of hesitation in his eyes, but at my urging, he still wavered: "I said, don't be angry." Mu Yunzhi's current situation is already very bad, don't question him. ”
I nodded: "Say it quickly!" "Now I just want my brother to be safe.
"Yun Zhi he...... In the ...... of smoking At noon that day, he slipped out of school to smoke here. ”
How can it be! Although my brother is sometimes a little skinny, he can't smell any smoke at all, how can he still skip the afternoon self-study and come out to smoke!
Perhaps seeing my doubt, Tong Chifei said: "He seems to know a few people in society, often mingle with them, and is brought bad by them." ”
Although he said it sincerely, I didn't believe it in my heart.
Although Yunzhi is a little naughty, he has been very sensible since he was a child, and the big issues of right and wrong are very clear. My dad went to the hospital for a while because of excessive smoking, and was misdiagnosed with lung cancer, and the family was almost messed up.
Later, although it was clear that it was a misdiagnosis, my dad also quit smoking. My brother hates smoking and will never smoke.
"How do you know he's smoking?" I asked Tong Chifei.
"What I saw was cigarettes and a lighter in his bag." Tong Chifei swore an oath, and when he saw that I didn't believe it much, he said again: "I know, you are his sister, you must believe him." However, I am telling the truth, and there is no need for me to slander him. ”
I couldn't ask why, so I decided to press the smoking button beforehand.
"And what are you doing here?" I asked him, "Aren't you in class?" ”
"I said, don't be angry." He said again.
I nodded, and he said, "I suspect he's been haunted by the ghosts here." ”
My face changed, even my grandmother couldn't see this, how could he, a high school student, see it!
Maybe he was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, Tong Chifei explained: "Yunzhi suddenly showed burn symptoms, plus he smoked and caused the fire, and those ghosts came to him for revenge......"
"Wait a minute!" I interrupted him, "You mean, this fire was caused by Yunzhi?!" ”
