Chapter 060: Cemetery Bones (16)
That night, Tao Xing came to the cemetery and walked around the passage several times.
The passage was accidentally opened by Lin Yan's blood. It was open all night yesterday and has closed today.
However, based on this opportunity, as shown by future celestial phenomena, when the moonlight is full, both humans and ghosts can pass through, if the opportunity arises.
Tao Xing climbed up the tree next to the tombstone, used a mirror to draw in the moonlight, and illuminated the energy magnetic field.
The flow of light did change. No energy flowed from the tombs anymore. The ghosts were truly free, but the flow of light formed a vortex from the central tomb, surging continuously like clouds.
Helin is still inside, but...
"He... moved the forbidden spell to himself." Tao Xing frowned, "He used his own energy to trap himself."
"Ah, why did he do that?" 080 asked.
"I have no idea."
"Host, do you want to wait until next month to ask clearly when you go in?"
Originally, if they didn't come out, Tao Xing would go in on the 15th of next month, but now...
"He already said that he was going to 'reincarnate' and had already said goodbye to me. I shouldn't have known that he was still in there." Tao Xing said.
"That's true. If we go in and find him, he may not tell the truth." 080 worried, "You can only use the mall once in a world, and you can't buy mind reading or anything like that. But even if you can buy it, you don't have the money, host."
Tao Xing: "...There's no need to say the last sentence."
It was a cool night and he was too lazy to go back. He lay on the tree trunk and looked at the moon. At dawn, he picked a flower and placed it in front of the stele, then turned and left.
Although Lin Fengwen is dead, his crimes still have to be exposed. After his death, he is still in disgrace. The police follow the clues and find out that the Lin Group also has various problems. The company was soon closed down and the industry was frozen. Lin Yan was left on the streets overnight.
The Dow Corporation, which had hoped to save the company through an alliance with the Lin family, was unable to make a comeback and fell into ruin overnight.
On this day, Tao Xing accompanied her grandmother shopping. They passed by a factory recruiting workers. A dispute broke out in front of the door, attracting a lot of onlookers. They were curious and also stretched their heads to take a look.
When he looked up, he saw two familiar faces, Lin Yan and Tao Chi. He hadn't seen them for almost a month, and they both looked much older.
Inside the factory, someone was pointing at them and saying, "You know nothing, but you order people around so well. You think you are the boss. No, no, get out of here."
The two of them were holding on to the door: "I was wrong, please give me another chance, I have applied to many companies, but no one wanted me."
"If they don't want us, then we should take them. Are we the kind of suckers? You are lazy and uneducated, and no one wants you. Go away."
"Hey, give me another chance..."
The people inside have gone away.
The two turned around angrily and looked at each other: "How come I can meet you here?"
"What's wrong with meeting me? Humph, you refused to marry me even when I knelt down to beg you. Now you are as destitute as me. Where did your arrogance go?"
"You..." Lin Yan was so angry that he grabbed Tao Chi's clothes and punched him.
Tao Chi was not willing to be outdone and struck back.
The two men fought each other.
The iron door banged open again, and a man in a white shirt walked out. The man turned back and banged on the door: "I don't dare anymore, don't chase me away, I need this job, otherwise I won't be able to pay the rent."
The person inside said, "You've only been on the job for a few days and you've dared to embezzle public funds. You're really bold. If you don't recover the money in time, you'll be sued. Get lost."
The iron gate was locked again mercilessly. The man in the shirt slammed the door angrily, turned around and glanced at the two people who were fighting.
The other two stopped moving.
When acquaintances meet, they often feel jealous.
Lin Yan sneered and raised an eyebrow at the person next to him: "Hey, isn't this the Bai Yueguang who cheated on you? How come you've become like this?"
Yang Jincheng frowned: "What does it have to do with you?"
Tao Chi's eyes turned red, and he became even angrier when he saw him. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "I spent a lot of money on you before, give it back to me!"
Yang Jincheng glared: "You should have gone back a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to pay the rent. What? You want to blackmail me now? No way!"
During the quarrel, three people started to fight with each other.
Tao Xing raised her eyebrows and took her grandmother away from the noisy crowd.
On the 15th, it was already dark.
Tao Xing was driving on a mountain road in the suburbs.
080 recognized that this was the road to Beishan Cemetery: "Host, didn't you say you couldn't go in?"
"I didn't say go in, I just went for a walk."
"You are so leisurely and elegant to visit the cemetery so late at night, host."
When we arrived at the cemetery, we used a mirror to look at the energy light as usual, and there was still a vortex in the middle.
He placed a flower in front of the grave and wiped the tombstone.
At twelve o'clock, the moonlight is full and the passage is open.
Tao Xing finished wiping and stood up to leave.
"Host, why are you leaving? You really don't want to go in." 080 felt a little sorry when they reached the door.
"You won't tell me anymore. He won't tell the truth even if we go in." Tao Xing walked forward. It was the middle of the night in the cemetery. The breeze was blowing and the leaves were rustling. He looked back and smiled faintly.
There are shallow traces on the fallen leaves, as if someone stepped on them lightly.
It was still night when he got home, so he went to wash up.
The bathroom was filled with heat and a thin layer of steam. Tao Xing rested in the bathtub with an eye mask on. After taking a nap, he reached out and fumbled around on the small table next to him, looking for a cup of water.
The water cup moved gently, closer to his palm, as if something was pushing it gently.
Tao Xing finally found the water cup, took it and drank a few sips of water, then put it back.
The cup was not placed firmly and fell along the edge of the table, but it stopped halfway, as if someone held it with a palm and slowly put it back on the table.
The person wearing the blindfold was completely unaware and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
After taking a bath, I went back to my room to sleep. The bath was very comfortable, my whole body felt refreshed, and I fell asleep quickly.
At the head of the bed, the soft bedding sank quietly, and the moonlight reflected on the wardrobe glass, illuminating a vague figure sitting at the head of the bed.
Tao Xing slept very well and was full of energy in the morning. She packed up and prepared to go to the coffee shop.
The puppy was barking at his room at the door. He patted the puppy's head and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you barking so loudly?"
Puppy: "Woof woof woof..."
"Okay, stay at home with grandma. I'll be back in the evening."
In the small courtyard, grandma was sitting under the porch. It was almost noon and she was taking a nap with her eyes closed.
I woke up suddenly in the middle of my sleep: "Oh no, I didn't turn off the gas."
She hurried into the kitchen and saw that the stove was quiet, there were no burnt pots, no pungent smell, and the gas valve was closed.
"Is it turned off?" Grandma was puzzled. "No, I don't remember turning it off."
She touched her head and went out: "I'm old, I can't remember clearly. Hey, Xiaocai, what are you looking at? Why are you shouting towards Xiaoxing's room all the time today?"
Puppy: "Woof woof woof..."
In the evening, the courtyard door opened and Tao Xing came with some vegetables: "I'm back."
The puppy ran over happily, jumping up and down, wagging its tail twice, and suddenly jumped to the side: "Woof woof woof..."
"What are you doing? Is there something bothering you here?" Tao Xing said with a smile, "Come over and eat."
He put a bunch of yellow flowers in the vase in the bedroom, prepared the meal, and ate with his two men and his dog in the yard.
Grandma looked at his black umbrella standing at the door and asked in confusion: "We have an umbrella at home, and it's not raining today, why did you buy an umbrella?"
"Oh, it's for blocking the sun." Tao Xing said, "It prevents tanning. I'll put it on when I go out tomorrow."
Grandma looked at him in surprise: "Oh, you are different when you are in love. You know to pay attention to your image. By the way, how is your boyfriend recently? When will you bring him home?"
"Wait a little longer."
"You didn't have a fight?"
"No." Tao Xing said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely bring him back."
The old man smiled, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How is business in the store lately?"
"That's great. Don't worry. The money we earn is enough for us."
"I'm not worried." Grandma said, "Xiao Xing, there is something I should tell you."
"What?"
The old man got up and went back to his room, took out a passbook and handed it to Tao Xing: "Before, you were always idle, I really didn't dare to give it to you. Now you are completely different from before, I can give it to you without worry. This is the inheritance your mother left you."
Tao Xing opened the passbook and looked at the length of the amount, which had more than ten zeros at the end. She was startled: "So much money?"
"The Tao family group was originally founded by your mother from scratch, and then it was handed over to your father. Your father cheated on her, and she divorced him and left home. But she couldn't be so stupid as to give up everything, so of course she had to divide the property. She was already kind by not letting your father leave the house with nothing."
"Oh." Tao Xing opened her mouth wide as she looked at the savings. "Grandma, you don't have to leave it to me. Just spend it if you want."
"I just want to spend as much as I can. This money is yours or mine. Just keep it as your inheritance. I'm waiting to see you get married. When the time comes, make it a good one. Make it as grand as you want."
Tao Xing smiled and thought to himself, "I seem to have money again."
080: "Yes, host, good luck is also a skill."
He ate and washed the dishes, then took a walk with his grandma after dinner and went back to his room to rest. He glanced at the vase and smiled faintly.
At night, there is still a vague figure sitting beside my pillow.
At daybreak, he went to the store holding an umbrella. The black umbrella blocked the strong sunlight. The space under the umbrella was dim, as if someone was walking side by side. Occasionally, he didn't hold the umbrella handle firmly, and it tilted to the side, but was immediately straightened.
I entered the coffee shop and placed the umbrella on the innermost table, a round glass table with a single sofa next to it. This is the quietest place in the store.
He brought a cup of coffee, put it on the table, turned over the card, and turned the words "Reserved" to the outside.
The steam from the cup was like smoke and fog. The waiter looked around but didn't see the person who made the reservation come in all day.
I go home at night and go to the store with an umbrella the next day. Although life goes on day after day, every day is definitely not exactly the same.
The store usually closes late, so Tao Xing sometimes goes back first and sometimes stays until closing time.
Three days passed in a flash. This evening, Tao Xing waited until the shop closed before leaving, and it was already late at night when he returned.
There was no need to hold an umbrella at night, so he used the black umbrella as a cane and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He stopped in front of the gate, turned his head and said to the path he had just walked: "I know you are here."
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard on the quiet path, as if a person who was floating was suddenly startled and fell to the ground. Then, a breeze came, the figure floated up again, the tiny sound disappeared, and the wind swirled away.
The passage will be closed in three days, and when the human figure arrives, he has to leave.
If the forbidden spell is not lifted, the effect of the ghost marriage cannot take effect, just as a person cannot stay underground for long, and a ghost cannot stay in the human world for long.
Tao Xing stood still, looking at the wind going away. When the wind died down, he pushed open the gate.
The channel for next month opens on the 12th.
080 There is no need to ask the host why it knew He Lin was around but pretended not to see him. It knows that He Lin will definitely come again next month.
The next month, on the evening of the twelfth.
There was a rustling sound on the road. Tao Xing opened her eyes in the middle of the night and saw the dent on the head of the bed.
Still silent.
He turned over, rested his head on his hands, and continued to sleep.
Early in the morning, the puppy barked towards his house. He touched the dog's head, opened his umbrella and pushed the door open to go out.
I didn't notice it when I didn't open the umbrella, but when I opened it, grandma remembered: "I think you only opened it for two days when you bought it. I haven't seen it for a month. Why did you open it again today?"
"I forgot about it." Tao Xing smiled, "I remembered it today."
"But summer is over and autumn has arrived. Do you still want to hold an umbrella?"
“There’s always the sun.”
When I get to the coffee shop, I still put my umbrella on the innermost table, turn over the cards, and let the day pass leisurely.
Late that night, Tao Xing heard a rustling sound, which was the sound of someone walking back and forth.
At dawn, he stretched and stood up, but when he opened his eyes, he stopped moving.
At the head of the bed, there was a big red sedan chair with the curtain facing him.
Tao Xing: “…”
It is not a pleasant thing to wake up and see a sedan chair appear at the head of your bed.
He walked over and pulled the curtain. There were no paper figures or ceremonial guards, only an empty sedan chair, and the red colored silk and tassels looked gray and cold.
He used the video function on his mobile phone to take a picture. He could see the sedan chair while recording, but when he played it again, he could not see anything. Well, this means that other people cannot see the sedan chair, so there is no need to worry about grandma coming in and being scared.
He calmly lowered the curtain, took his umbrella, went out, and went to work.
After a while, there was a rustling sound near the umbrella. The person was probably in a daze and didn't follow for a while.
The sedan chair was placed there for two days. On the third night, a sigh was heard beside the bed, and then it drifted away in the breeze.
When the time is up, he will go back.
The sedan chair did not disappear and remained in the room. Tao Xing also got used to falling asleep facing the strange red sedan chair.
080 praised: "Host, you have developed courage now, but I am a little scared. I always feel that something will crawl out of there in the middle of the night."
"That's what I sat on. What can I climb out of it?"
"But, host, why did he bring the sedan chair here? Does he want to take you back?"
"He didn't say anything, how should I know?"
"So should we just leave it here?"
"Just leave it there."
"Host, you really won't go there anymore?"
Tao Xing smiled slightly, said nothing, turned over and fell asleep peacefully.
Another month.
The wind is clear and the clouds are light, and the bright moon hangs in the sky.
Tao Xing went out holding a black umbrella. The rustling sound was heard around him again, and amidst the sound, there were a few sighs.
Tao Xing smiled slightly and walked forward.
On this day, Tao Xing came home early, bought a lot of food, and filled the refrigerator: "Grandma, I have to go out for a while."
"How many days are you going?"
"Three days at most."
The old man understood: "You're going to find your boyfriend, right? Go ahead, try to bring him back."
Tao Xing smiled leisurely and waited for the old man to return to his room. He pushed the door and walked into his room.
Then, he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
There was a chaotic rustling sound beside the sedan chair, and after a moment, the curtain was rolled up by invisible hands.
Tao Xing walked in and sat upright.
The curtains are lowered, the wind blows by my ears, the curtains sway in front of my eyes, the surroundings are like fleeting shadows, and the city lights seem to be distorted by space, hazy and disordered.
In the night sky, where no one could see, a man in a Zhongshan suit was flying under the stars, holding a red sedan chair with one hand.
The bridal sedan landed in the cemetery silently and disappeared into the ground.
