Ye Zhi jumped out of the shadows and grabbed the man's wrist steadily. This is also a common trick to subdue ghosts, when ghosts are stimulated to change, they often start from the fingertips become sharp and black, once the ghost's wrist is buckled, they can't perform many tricks.

However, Ye Zhi clearly felt that his wrist was slender, he should be a woman, and it was warm, not ghostly cold. He asked sharply, "Who are you, and why are you pretending to be a ghost?"

Hong Gongzi, who pretended to be drunk, leaned over and said, "Isn't she a ghost?"

Bai Yuelan lit the candle flame and shook the immovable compass in her hand to the south: "She is warm." ”

"Who are you?" asked Ding Rong.

Hearing this, the slender figure covered by the cloak grabbed the cloak even more, lowered its head even more, and didn't say a word, just trembling incessantly.

Since he was a human being, Hong Gongzi was no longer afraid, he pulled his cloak and forced: "Who are you? Hiding your head and hiding your tail is definitely not a good person? I want to see who you are!"

"No! I'll infect you!" the woman under the cloak screamed.

"What is the infection?" Hong Gongzi, who had always felt breathless because of the haunting at home, didn't believe it at all, he pulled it hard, the cloak fell to the ground, and the woman hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and ran away under the faint starlight.

Hong Gongzi just wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the gate of the courtyard, and he was shocked: "Dad, you ......"

Old Man Hong, who was standing by the gate blocking the place, looked at his son and a few strangers in cultivation clothes with bloodshot eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Dad, that woman is pretending to be a ghost, and she is very suspicious!" Hong Gongzi defended, "Get out of the way, I'm going to arrest her!"

Master Hong stared at Hong Gongzi for a while, and said bitterly: "Suspicious, she is your mother!"

"You're dizzy, aren't you? My mother died sixteen years ago!"

"I didn't lie to you. ”

Hong Gongzi looked at his father with incomprehensible eyes, and sneered: "You mean, she did not pass away, but hid at home for more than ten years?"

"Yes. Master Hong replied.

"Why are you hiding at home, why are you still hiding from me?"

“...... Because she has a strange disease, she is afraid of infecting you, so she has been avoiding you. Master Hong looked back at his dark room and said in a low voice.

Hong Gongzi didn't quite believe it: "What kind of disease? Why do you want to announce that she has passed away? Since she is infected, she is in the same room, why hasn't it been passed on to you?"

"She couldn't see the light of her illness, so she could only hide in the dark, and the doctor said that it should only be passed on to blood relatives, not to others. However, what kind of illness in the world can't even meet with parents, relatives and friends? This disease is difficult for anyone to explain, so they have to say that she has passed away. Master Hong explained.

Hong Siyun Gongzi showed a suspicious expression.

Master Hong looked at the few people behind his son and asked his son, "Who are these guests?"

"I think there seem to be some demons and monsters in the house, so I ask the masters to exorcise the demons. Hong Gongzi said, "These four are the cultivators of the Immortal Island Hanshan Sect, Daoist Ye, Daoist Xiang, and their two junior sisters. ”

Ye Zhi and the others bowed their hands together: "Master Hong." ”

Master Hong looked at the four of them and said indifferently: "What the four Dao Masters are good at should be exorcism and demon extermination, but the inner people are sick, and they don't know how to diagnose the disease when they come here, and they are useless, so please don't send it." ”

Hong Gongzi was also very embarrassed and said: "It turns out that my mother is sick, and the elders have run away in vain!"

Shrugging south: "It's okay. It's good that there are no ghosts. Then we'll go back. ”

Bai Yuelan also gave her leave.

Ding Rong's eyes flashed, and he gave Ye Zhi a look, Ye Zhi understood, and with a few fingers, Hong Gongzi suddenly fell softly.

"Siyun!" When Master Hong saw that his son was knocked down, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch his son and said to Ye Zhi's angry sea: "What did you do to him?"

"Master Hong, there are some things you really want your son to hear?" Ye Zhi asked with a shallow smile.

Ding Rong also hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Isn't it? If you really want Childe to know, you shouldn't have to go to such lengths to hide it for so long?"

Hesitation flashed in Old Man Hong's eyes.

Bai Yuelan didn't know what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, when did it start, Second Senior Brother and Ding Rong were so like-minded? She asked, "Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Ding, what do you mean?"

Ye Zhi glanced at Bai Yuelan and whispered to Master Hong: "You can hide your son from us, we already know." And you don't want the guy in the room to hear it, do you? I can put up a sound barrier. ”

Master Hong nodded, pointed to the brightly lit room of Young Master Hong, and said, "Dao Chiefs, please over there!"

Bai Yuelan and Xiang Nan, who didn't know why, followed the three of them into Hong Gongzi's room.

Master Hong carefully put his son on the bed, took off his boots, covered the quilt, and then turned around and sat down at the table, with even more sorrow between his eyebrows.

Bai Yuelan took the lead in asking, "Second Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zhidao: "What did you see when Mrs. Hong was torn off her cloak just now?"

"Ah?...... No, I didn't pay attention. Bai Yuelan said. At that time, she was standing beside Xiang Nan, and Xiang Nan's big man covered most of it, and she only saw Hong Gongzi's rude movements.

At that time, the lights were unknown, and even Mr. Hong himself didn't see Mrs. Hong's complexion. Ye Zhi said. "It's blue-white. ”

"What?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked, "What does the second senior brother mean......"

Ye Zhi looked at Master Hong, who knew that he was waiting for his answer, so he could only whisper: "Yes, my wife is dead." He died when he gave birth. ”

Rao is a cultivator, and Bai Yuelan and Xiang Nan also felt a chill rising from their backs. The people of this family have lived with ghosts for more than ten years?!

Xiang Nan suddenly thought of his probing compass and retorted, "Impossible!

"Naturally, there is no problem with the junior brother's compass, and the cold things can be explored. But Mrs. Hong is not cold, her body is warm. It's a warm ghost!" Ye Zhibian soothed Xiang Nan and asked, "Master Hong, ghosts have their own management of the underworld, how do you let the dead lady not be taken away by the ghosts?"

After death, when a person's body freezes and stiffens, a ghost naturally sends a ghost to take his detached soul, that is, a ghost, to the underworld. The job of the ghost is to keep the ghosts as little as possible in the yang world, so as not to disturb the laws of the yang world. However, if the ghost has a strong obsession, such as a heavy grudge, the ghost may not be able to detain him, so he can only ask the ghost's supervisor to come and deal with it.

However, this is clearly not the case with Mrs. Hong.

Master Hong lowered his eyes, but the sadness between his eyebrows escaped, the corners of his eyes were covered with fine lines, and his hair was a little gray, indeed older than ordinary middle-aged people, he fell into the memory, and whispered: "This starts from almost twenty years ago......
