Along with the eerie tone of the wedding dress ghost, the evil spirit spread out from the side courtyard, and blood oozes out of the peach wood door god. The blood is as bright red as the blood on the veil of the wedding dress ghost. At the same time as the blood on the veil drips, the blood on the peach wood door god also drips down.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
Drops of blood gathered on the table covered with yellow cloth, dyeing the cloth red, and flowed towards the two black spirit tablets.
Although the spirit tablet and the door gods blocked the wedding dress ghost from coming out of the side courtyard, the overflowing negative energy was still raging in the courtyard. The negative energy was like a cold wind passing through, and several young guardians immediately shivered. Someone wiped his face and found that there was a layer of frost on his eyebrows.
"Who is this?" the man Bai Ran called cousin asked tremblingly.
Bai Ran stared at the ghost girl in wedding dress between the red candles. Although he tried to stay calm, fear still flashed in his eyes: "That was our ancestor hundreds of years ago. She made a mistake and turned into a fierce ghost. She was sealed here by the head of the family at that time, who was also her biological parents."
As he spoke, he felt a chill in his chest. The wound caused by the knife seemed to have frozen. He immediately bowed in the direction of the female ghost in the wedding dress, and the chill in his chest was slightly relieved.
"Did you make a mistake?" someone asked.
"I turned into a ghost on my wedding day. What else could be wrong..."
The cold and gloomy air that was pressing in step by step made the person behind him shut up and dared not speak anymore. Several young people stepped back in fear and bowed several times in the direction of the ghost girl in wedding dress, muttering to themselves: "I have offended our ancestors, I have offended our ancestors."
Bai Hengqing, who was standing in front of the altar covered with a Bagua cloth and decorated with incense, candles and souls, also showed respect. He lit three incense sticks and bowed in the direction of the ghost girl in the wedding dress. He said loudly, "Then may I ask why the ancestor wanted to cause such a commotion in the Bai family's main house? How did we offend the ancestor?"
Bai Hengqing spoke respectfully, keeping a low profile and not even raising his head, but he was very confused in his heart.
The younger generations were not clear about the situation in this old house, but old men like him knew it clearly, especially because Bai Ran's grandfather, Bai Ximing's father, died early and he helped manage the Bai family for a period of time, so he knew all the affairs involved best.
There were many ghosts imprisoned in the old house, all of which were used to suppress the old ancestor and prevent her from going out. Not only that, the then head of the family, Bai Zongshan, even held a ghost banquet with five animals and invited a lonely ghost who had eaten the incense of the Bai family to guard against the evil ghost from the Bai family.
Has the offering to that lonely ghost stopped?
Bai Hengqing kept guessing in her heart, this old ancestor should not have been able to walk out of the room where she was locked up, so why did she not only walk out now, but also burn the portrait of the Bai family's ancestor? This was extremely disrespectful to future generations.
What exactly happened?
Now that Bai Ximing is not here, after Bai Hengqing finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and looked at Bai Ran, who once had the hope of inheriting the Bai family, and winked at him.
Before Chi Shen appeared, Bai Ran had already been assisting Bai Ximing in managing the affairs of the Bai family. He had developed a habit of observing people's words and expressions since he was a child. When Bai Hengqing glanced over, he knew what the elder was going to ask.
Bai Ran took a step closer and said quickly, "The offerings have never stopped. New incense is offered on the first and fifteenth day of every month."
"Send someone to take a look." Bai Hengqing said in a low voice.
"Okay." Bai Hou took a step back and slipped out the door.
After going out of the door, the coldness that seemed to freeze people was relieved a little. Bai Ran blew on his hands, poked his arms, and then took out his mobile phone. When he was about to make a call, he thought of the call his father received. He paused for a moment, then comforted himself in his heart, and then made the call.
The other party picked up the phone quickly, and the tone was not very good: "Master, what's the matter? Why are you calling so late at night?"
Bai Ran had no time to pay attention to the disrespect from the other side, and immediately said: "Go and check the tablet of the wild ghost enshrined in the old house to see if anyone is disrespecting him."
"I only go to that damn place once every two weeks, how could anyone be disrespectful..." the person opposite muttered, but since everyone was shocked by what happened in the Bai family recently, he still went there.
"Hurry up." Bai Ran urged.
There was the sound of footsteps on the other end of the phone. Bai Ran's fingers gripping the phone tightened slowly as he recalled what happened at the Bai family that night.
When Bai Ximing smashed the decorative telephone in the living room, he also woke up. The endless ringing of the phone and the greetings from the female ghost. He was watching outside the door at the time and didn't dare to go in. He had also experienced the irresistible cold breath, so now he still has a fear of things like mobile phones and telephones. Even a phone call with no words from the other party and only the sound of footsteps made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Hurry up." He urged again.
"What's the hurry?" someone said, and the sound of the door opening was heard again, but then it suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Bai Ran asked immediately.
"Broken, broken!" A panicked voice came from the other end, "The tablet, the tablet without words that we have been worshipping, is broken!"
Bai Ran suddenly looked inside the gate of the old house. It seemed to be covered with a layer of dark ghostly aura, blocking his view.
In the courtyard of the old house, Bai Hengqing stood on the altar, holding incense in his hand, and bowed three times in the direction of the female ghost in the wedding dress.
The white smoke from the incense scattered in the air, and Bai Hengqing's expression became more serious. This meant that the other party did not accept the incense. If he did, the white smoke would have drifted towards the side courtyard of the old house.
If you don't accept incense, then this matter will be difficult to handle.
"I can call whenever I want. Why do I need to ask you?" The ghost girl's voice came from the side yard. She seemed to feel offended and her voice became colder. "You, the descendant of the Bai family, locked me up in this side yard without seeing the sun. Now that I have killed that evil woman, can't I come out and walk around to see what's new?"
Bai Hengqing felt as if his blood was about to freeze. There was a chill in that voice. In this situation, if his parents' tablets could not suppress this old ghost, he would die here immediately. This old ghost had existed for hundreds of years, and successive family heads had not been able to kill her and had sealed her in the old house. Naturally, it was because no one could deal with her, and he certainly couldn't do it either.
"Please calm down, old ancestor," Bai Hengqing bowed repeatedly, "Just tell me what you want, just let the Bai family go. We will erect a monument in the temple to praise your virtues and offer sacrifices to you every day. Even if you need the yang energy of a living person to nourish you, we can get it for you."
"Haha, hahahaha," Bai Wan's wild laughter echoed in the side courtyard, "Singing praises and offering sacrifices every day, then tell me, what merits and virtues are you singing about?"
Bai Hengqing suddenly got stuck: "This..."
"I was only seventeen when I died. Before that, I had never even left this mansion. What merit did I have?" With every word Bai Wan spoke, the red candle flickered, and the flame soon turned from yellow to blue. "And what did they say about me? That I had lost my reputation before I got married, and committed suicide on my wedding night because I was afraid of being discovered? How funny! Everything is said by you living people. You all look at me like this, and you even want to nourish me with the yang energy of living people. Hahahaha!"
A gloomy aura swept through the entrance to the side courtyard. The table placed at the entrance began to vibrate, and the mahogany door god placed on it cracked with a "gra". More blood flowed out from the crack, quickly dyeing the entire yellow cloth covering the table red. The bloody red blood dripped onto the ground.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" The young man huddled in the back was about to cry. It looked like they wouldn't be able to subdue the evil spirit in the next moment. Would they all die here then?
Bai Hengqing had not thought about this situation. He had people place talismans, door gods, portraits of ancestors and tablets of Bai Wan's parents outside the side courtyard before, all in order to subdue the old ancestor. He wanted to ask ghosts without disturbing the old ancestor and find out which ghost called the Bai family. Unexpectedly, the old ancestor came out directly and said that it was her who called. How could he continue asking?
Moreover, despite all these arrangements, the old ancestor seemed not to see anything. The portrait of the ancestor was burned, the talismans disappeared, and even the peach wood door gods used to ward off evil spirits cracked. It seemed that these things were completely useless. Only the two spirit tablets were still standing on the table, barely guarding the door to the side courtyard.
Why is this happening? Why doesn’t the ancestor show up, and why don’t the door gods work?
"Please calm down, ancestor!" Bai Hengqing had no choice. He was afraid of saying something wrong again and causing the old ghost to get angry. He also had the Bai family's young people to protect him, so he could only bow down. "Ancestor, please feel free to ask for anything you want. We will do our best to satisfy you!"
As he spoke, he winked at the younger generations behind him. They reacted quickly, one by one, and all knelt down, kneeling in the direction of the side courtyard, "Please calm down, ancestor!"
"What do I want?" Bai Wan's cold voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears, "I want everyone in the Bai family who has insulted my innocence and imprisoned me for hundreds of years... to die!"
White mist poured out from the entrance of the side courtyard. It was Yin Qi condensed into substance. The two spirit tablets placed at the entrance of the side courtyard were soaked in blood. The bases were dyed blood-red and began to shake. The amplitude became larger and larger, as if a pair of hands were pressing on the two spirit tablets, preventing them from falling down in a moment, and the Yin Qi that was pouring out was fighting against these hands, determined to cut off the two shackles that bound it.
At this time, Bai Hengqing was not idle either. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, he immediately rushed to the altar, picked up the peach wood sword and the talisman beside it, and recited in a hurry: "The underworld, exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil spirits...
A strong wind suddenly blew, and the fallen leaves and dry grass in the yard were blown to the side courtyard. Several dark shadows staggered out from the ground.
"… Lend me your Yin soldiers to subdue the demons and monsters. Hurry and obey the command!"
Bai Hengqing lit the talisman in his hand, and a whole stream of green smoke floated towards the black shadows that crawled out from the ground. Those black shadows immediately ran towards the side courtyard in distorted shapes. Some of them held knives, and some held axes. Without making any sound, their movements were extremely ferocious, and they all chopped at the female ghost in the wedding dress in the side courtyard.
The bride in her wedding dress did not move, even the red veil on her head did not shake at all. At the moment when the black shadow jumped high and slashed at her, the candle flames around her suddenly surged, and the flames swallowed the black shadows in an instant like a flood. In just a moment, the black shadows disappeared one after another, leaving only the candle flames burning quietly on the ground.
"You are just an ordinary kid," a cold laugh came from under the blood-dripping veil of the bride, "you don't know your own limitations."
Seeing that summoning the ghost was useless, Bai Hengqing gritted his teeth and took out another talisman. He knew that the situation would be very dangerous when he was going to perform the ritual today, so he made a lot of preparations. The evil-dispelling talismans alone could cover the entire courtyard.
He took out a talisman with the word "thunder" written on it and chanted loudly: "Taiyi Xuanming, the essence of Bing and Ding. The messenger of lightning..."
Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and as Bai Hengqing quickly recited a spell, dark clouds came from all directions, blocking the stars and the moon.
Bai Wan smiled, her tone seemed a little nostalgic: "Flying Thunder Curse, after so many years, you are still learning these things, no progress."
"...Once the talisman has arrived, follow it without delay. Hurry and obey the command (1)." Bai Hengqing pointed the thunder talisman in his hand towards the side courtyard, and a bolt of lightning struck Bai Wan directly.
Bai Wan's body moved suddenly, and in the blink of an eye she was no longer in the same place. She came to the gate of the side courtyard, leaving only a circle of red candles with green flames burning in the same place. The thunder seemed to have eyes and rushed towards the direction where Bai Wan was.
A pale and bluish hand stretched out from the red sleeves. Bai Wan did not hide, but raised her hand and pointed at the peach wood door god.
Thunder exploded on Bai Wan's body, and the veil on her head moved and flew up in the wind. The lifted corner revealed the bride's blood-red lips, and those red lips were smiling.
The peach wood door god exploded with a bang, the broken head flew out, and the peach wood fragments scattered everywhere.
The red veil rose and fell, blocking the bride's smiling rosy lips. The bride was still dressed neatly in her wedding dress, as if a sedan chair would come to pick her up at the next moment. She stood straight at the gate of the side courtyard, but the door god standing on the table was gone.
Bai Hengqing suddenly took a step back and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Several juniors behind him immediately stood up to help him. Bai Hengqing spat the blood on the peach wood sword, broke away from the juniors, and immediately grabbed a handful of talismans from the altar: "Even if I die here today, I will preserve my Bai family bloodline!"
"Hahaha," Bai Wan's cold laughter floated in the air, "Come and try it!"
"The spirit of the sun and the moon will respond..." Bai Hengqing stood firmly in front of the altar again, chanting a spell and smearing his own blood on the sword, "... the talisman of the Supreme Lord, the power of the ten directions..."
The wind around suddenly calmed down, as if invisible energy was gathering on the sword.
"The sky descends to the earth, responding to the spirits of the sun and the moon..." A female voice that was empty, ethereal, and extremely cold sounded in the air at the same time, "...the fate of the three realms must be restrained (2)..."
Bai Hengqing's cloudy eyes suddenly widened, but he did not dare to stop. He recited rapidly, but the sword seemed to be unable to be held, and gradually tilted towards him -
"Hurry up and obey the command!"
"Hurry up and obey the command!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was the voice of a living person, and the other was the voice of a ghost.
The pale fingers in the wedding dress were put together to form a sword, pointing in the direction of Bai Hengqing from a distance - the peach wood sword suddenly exploded in Bai Hengqing's hand, and the shattered fragments covered Bai Hengqing's hands with blood.
"Second Grandpa!" The younger generations' terrified voices rang out. If Bai Hengqing couldn't hold on, they would be the next to die!
"She is also a descendant of the Bai family. Ordinary methods are useless to her." Bai Ran's voice suddenly sounded behind them. He picked up the blood-stained talisman paper on the ground and smeared the still warm blood of his elder on his palm.
After the peach wood sword exploded, the tablet on the altar shook violently, and it seemed that the invisible hands could not support the tablet. The tablet had already tilted most of the way and was about to fall down.
Suddenly, a pair of living hands reached out from the side, supported the two spirit tablets, and straightened them out, allowing the spirit tablets to continue standing on the altar.
Bai Ran stood on the other side of the altar, holding the spirit tablet, and looked at the female ghost in the wedding dress who was sitting across the table from him.
The wound on his chest seemed to be frozen, and his breath turned into steam and spurted out of his mouth. The cold air almost froze his whole body, but he slowly smeared Bai Hengqing's blood on the spirit tablet and chanted: "The descendants of the Bai family are not strict in management, which has caused the seal of Bai Wan, the criminal of the Bai family, to loosen, and the gatekeeper ghost is missing. I also ask the ancestors of the Bai family to show up and save our Bai family from the water and fire. I earnestly ask the seventh generation patriarch of the Bai family and the patriarch's wife to come here quickly to suppress Bai Wan, the criminal of the Bai family. Bai Hengqing, the descendant of the Bai family, respectfully presents this."
Bai Wan let out a sharp scream. No matter whether it was the sinner of the Bai family as Bai Ran mentioned, or the seventh-generation patriarch as he called him, both angered Bai Wan. She formed her five fingers into claws and swung out suddenly, but the two spirit tablets were like an invisible barrier, blocking her hands on the other side.
Bai Ran did not dodge or avoid, and shouted again: "I beg the seventh-generation patriarch of the Bai family and his wife to come here quickly and suppress the Bai family's criminal Bai Wan! I beg the seventh-generation patriarch of the Bai family and his wife to come here quickly and suppress the Bai family's criminal Bai Wan!"
The strong wind blew Bai Wan's red veil, as if to take her away from this place. The red candles in the yard were extinguished in an instant, but her hand was getting closer and closer to the spirit tablet.
She wants to destroy these two spirit tablets, she wants to destroy everything!
"Bai Wan!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the sky, and two phantoms fell on the spirit tablet. The wildly shaking spirit tablet immediately returned to its place and stood on the altar like a rock. One of the phantoms flicked his sleeves, and Bai Wan, who was wearing a wedding dress, suddenly fell to the ground. The strong wind blew away her veil, revealing a beautiful but childish face. Although she was heavily made-up and her face was full of hatred, it could not cover up the innocence and childishness on her face.
When she died, she was still an underage girl.
"Father——" Bai Wan screamed, tears of blood dripping from her eyes, "Mother——you won't let me go even if you die——"
Two phantoms suddenly stepped forward and dragged the girl into the room where she had been locked for hundreds of years amidst her shrill screams. The talisman was put back on, the yin energy was isolated, and the two phantoms returned to the spirit tablet to guard the door.
Bai Ran coughed violently several times. His eyebrows and hair were covered with frost and snow condensed from the Yin energy. His hands were still shaking, and his legs were too weak to stand, so he fell directly to the ground.
It's not that he is brave and fearless, but he knows that if he doesn't trap Bai Wan again, not only these people will die, but he will also die!
He didn't want to die, he had to do this to save these bastards.
"Well done," Bai Hengqing stood up from the ground with difficulty and praised, "It's a pity that you don't have the blood of my Bai family in you, what a pity..."
Bai Ran, who was still afraid, looked gloomy when he heard this. But when he turned around, he showed a humble expression again: "I can do something for the Bai family to repay the Bai family for raising me. Second Grandfather, are you okay?"
Several juniors helped Bai Hengqing walk over and said, "I'm fine. You locked Bai Wan up again today. The problem that troubled the Bai family has been solved. I have to go back and discuss with Ximing how to deal with this matter. I also have to find out why the gatekeeper ghost disappeared."
"It's not her." Bai Ran said suddenly.
Bai Hengqing was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Bai Ran said: "The female ghost who called was not her."
Bai Hengqing immediately said: "Don't say that casually."
"That day, a female ghost with red nail polish answered the phone," Bai Ran recalled what he saw outside the door. "The oppression of that ghost was not so strong. She was able to break through the many restrictions of the Bai family and call in. It was more like an accident."
Bai Ran looked up at Bai Hengqing: "As for the criminal Bai Wan, she didn't paint her nails and was wearing golden gloves, which is easy to tell."
"So..." Bai Hengqing took a step back in shock, "There's another ghost?"
Several people immediately looked at the broken old-fashioned telephone placed on the altar.
"No, that shouldn't be the case..." A junior said tremblingly, "I did summon a ghost curse just now, there's no problem."
"The process is fine, really fine, I looked it up in the book," said another junior wearing glasses, holding a notebook in his hand, "It is indeed correct, I wrote it down to study, Second Grandpa's process is exactly the same as in the book."
"We invited the wrong person," Bai Hengqing didn't care. He said frankly, "I don't think it's this old ancestor. When she was alive, she didn't even know what a telephone was. How could she think of calling the current Bai family's main residence? It seems that we angered her, so she came to trouble us. We invited the wrong person."
The younger generation did not dare to refute, only one person said cautiously: "Then...what should we do now?"
"What should I do?" Bai Hengqing took the tissue handed over by the junior and wrapped his bleeding hand, "Please again, Bai Ran, you go!"
Bai Ran said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, Second Grandfather."
Ever since Bai Wan, wearing her wedding dress, was dragged into the courtyard, the courtyard of the old house became quiet, with only the breeze gently blowing the souls fluttering.
Bai Ran stood in front of the altar, holding a brush and cinnabar, and drew the talisman again.
A few juniors brought a chair for Bai Hengqing to sit down, and brought him some hot tea, letting him rest nearby.
In another place in the old house, in Chi Shen’s room.
The red-clothed female ghost was lying by the door, watching the situation outside through the crack. When Bai Wan was dragged back to the side yard, she became anxious and crawled around in the house. After crawling around twice, she quickly came to the cabinet and knocked on it: "Sister! Sister!"
The cabinet door creaked open, and a pale ghost face stuck on the cabinet looked at her, as if it didn't understand what she was saying.
The red-dressed female ghost raised her hand and gestured above her head: "Sister!"
As a result, she fell off the cabinet as soon as she gestured because she had no support. She did not give up, and got up from the ground again, covered in dust, and climbed onto the cabinet: "Sister! Sister Bai has been locked up!"
The face in the cabinet finally understood what she was going to say. He stretched out a hand in the cabinet and knocked on the other side of the cabinet. Then the back of the cabinet seemed to have two doors, and he opened it from the back door. The red-clothed female ghost saw at a glance that there was a coffin placed opposite. The coffin was covered with talismans, and many of them were scattered on the ground.
She was a little scared and wanted to step back.
The closet ghost stretched out a hand and pushed her over there. With the other hand, he took out a mirror from under his clothes and handed it to the red-dressed ghost. His pale face showed an encouraging expression, which meant: Go for it, girl!
The female ghost in red held a mirror in one hand and a paper phone in the other. She was still a little scared and crawled over there hesitantly.
When she climbed out of the closet, the door clicked shut. The red-clothed female ghost turned around suddenly and saw only a snow-white wall. There was no closet door at all.
"Ghost..." The red-clothed female ghost had a distorted expression, baring her teeth and claws as she pointed at the wall, "You're trying to trick a ghost!"
She banged on the wall with her hands, but there was no response from the other side. She was unwilling to give up and banged her head against the wall, resulting in a bleeding head. The cabinet door did not appear again.
After all methods failed, the red-clothed female ghost had no choice but to blow at the wall angrily and turned back to look at the coffin.
If you want to go out, whether through the door or the window, you have to get close to the coffin and the talisman papers all over the ground.
These were all the things she feared.
Fear made her climb the wall and move carefully towards the door. She was reluctant to throw away the paper phone and small mirror, so she had to hold the two items in one hand and climb the wall with the other hand to move slowly. It was really difficult to move with one hand, so she moved very slowly.
Suddenly the sound of a bell reached her ears, and she suddenly looked outside the door with a dazed look in her eyes.
Someone is calling her!
Someone was asking who was calling, it was her!
The sound of the bell made her dazed. Her hands loosened and she lost her grip on the wall and fell directly off. The sudden fall brought her back to her senses and she jumped up immediately.
The talisman is dropped!
She hurriedly touched her arm to see if she was burned by the talisman. After touching it for a long time, she found no damage at all. She poked the talisman curiously and found that there was still no reaction. These things suddenly could not hurt her!
The bell outside the door rang again, but this time she acted as if she didn't hear it. She held the paper phone and small mirror in one hand and frantically pulled out the talisman with the other.
This is what she hates, she wants to destroy all of this! Destroy!
"Bang--"
The female ghost in red didn't know which talisman she had torn off. The black coffin lid suddenly popped open, and a man in Qing Dynasty clothing jumped out from it. He twisted his stiff neck, seemed to glance at the female ghost in red, and then jumped out of the door.
The female ghost in red holding a handful of talismans was frightened by the sudden appearance of the zombie and stood there in a daze for a long time, until the bell outside the door rang again. She got up in a daze and followed the sound to walk out.
A few youngsters were whispering near the altar.
"He hasn't come yet, is he?"
"This Bai... Master, is this not possible?"
"What he said is wrong, how could Second Grandpa's invitation to a ghost be wrong? He just wants to show off."
Bai Ran was not in a hurry. He rang the soul bell in his hand again. No matter whether he could find the ghost tonight or not, he survived and got the praise of his second grandfather Bai Hengqing. He didn't want to come tonight. He wanted to find a safe place to hide like Bai Ximing. He knew that Bai Wan wanted to kill him, and coming to the old house was just to seek death.
But at the same time, he also knew that tonight was an opportunity, an opportunity to show himself, so at Bai Ximing's request, he still came.
He had already achieved his purpose of showing off in front of the older generation, and all that was left was for him to get out of here alive.
Suddenly there was a sound of something collapsing, which attracted a lot of attention in the quiet night, and several people looked in that direction.
That was the sound of a door panel collapsing. The old wooden door fell to the ground with a clang, splashing dust all over the floor. An old zombie dressed in the uniform of a Qing Dynasty official jumped out of the door and walked straight towards the altar.
"Could it be this ghost?" The younger generations started discussing when they saw the zombies coming out.
"I remember it was a woman who called." Because ghosts hadn't appeared for a long time, the atmosphere here had become relaxed. The younger generations were not panicked when they saw the zombies because they felt that zombies were easy to deal with, much easier than ghosts whose whereabouts were unknown. It could be said to be an entry-level lesson.
The moment he saw the zombies, Bai Hengqing suddenly stood up.
Bai Ran was also stunned for a moment and stopped the soul bell in his hand.
Zombies will also react to soul bells, which can drive zombies to move. He also knows who the zombies in the old house are, so he dare not shake it again.
"I'll do it!" A junior stood up, thinking this was his chance to show off. "You called the wrong person, right? I'll ask him to go back."
"Go back." Bai Hengqing stood up from the chair and spat. The young man immediately dared not speak anymore.
Bai Ran placed the soul bell on the table and was about to say something when he saw a female ghost with only a head and hands crawling out from behind the zombie. The female ghost's hair was dragging on the ground. She was crawling on the ground with one hand and holding something in the other hand like a treasure. However, the thing was hidden in her overly long hair and could not be seen clearly.
The hand crawling on the ground had dry and pale fingers, with very prominent blue veins, and very long and sharp nails, which were as red as blood!
This is the ghost who called!
"Here it comes!" Bai Ran whispered.
Several other juniors also whispered, "This is a male ghost, not the female ghost we are looking for. You said she had red nails, but that's not possible..."
"Shut up!" Bai Hengqing whispered, "Don't make any sound. When this zombie comes over later, hold your breath and concentrate. Don't breathe, or you won't know how you died!"
The younger generations wanted to refute, but since it was Bai Hengqing who was speaking, they still looked indifferent, but did not dare to say anything.
The zombies jumped over and everyone did as they were told. They didn't make any noise and didn't dare to breathe. Some of the younger ones even pinched their noses and covered their mouths for fear of making mistakes.
In folk legends, zombies distinguish the living from the dead by the smell of the living's breath. Everyone of them has received education about zombies and knows how to deal with zombies. The only thing they don't quite understand is why Bai Hengqing has to be so cautious about zombies when they can be controlled with just talismans and soul bells.
Could this zombie be the zombie king?
"Hmm! Um..." Suddenly someone let out a sigh of relief, and the zombie immediately stopped, turned its stiff head and looked over here.
The man immediately covered his nose and pointed frantically behind the old zombie.
A few people also looked over and saw a female ghost with only the height above the shoulders crawling out. She was looking at them curiously.
Red nails!
Female!
That young guy was winking at the others frantically. It was this ghost!
The old zombie's face was almost touching his face, and the young man didn't dare to move. A foul smell rushed into his nose, making him want to vomit, but he didn't dare to move. He could only suppress the urge to vomit and let the old zombie stare at him.
After a few seconds, the old zombie finally didn't notice anything unusual, moved away from the face-to-face position, and continued to move forward.
At the door of the old house at this time.
Chi Shen finally got off the shaky bus. As for why he didn't take a taxi, it was because he really had no money.
In order to save time, Ji Xingchen took him along the ghost path from the bus to the old house.
The so-called ghost path is the path taken by ghosts. When you are trapped in a ghost wall, or you are caught up by ghosts no matter how you walk, it is often not because the ghosts move very fast, but because they have ways that living people cannot see, which allow them to travel from the underworld and come directly in front of the living.
In this way, although Chi Shen can take the ghost road from the company back to the old house, the distance is too far, and Ji Xingchen needs time to find the way in the underworld, and it is not good for the body for the living to stay in the underworld for a long time. In addition, Chi Shen felt that he still needed to be normal, and his friends in the old house would not be in danger, so he chose to take the bus back slowly.
Since he already knew that someone was going to cause trouble for his friends, he would naturally leave something for them.
After coming out of the ghost road, they went straight to the door of the old house. Today was different from the deserted gate in the past. The lights were on in the gatekeeper's residence, and there was a bit of warmth in the dark night.
Naturally, this lamp is not reserved for Chi Shen.
The elders of the Bai family are going to hold a Taoist temple in the old house tonight to ask ghosts. As the gatekeeper, He Lao is naturally needed as well. He did not enter the temple, but as usual, he stayed in the small house at the door of the old house, with the lights on, waiting for everything to be over.
Unexpectedly, he waited for an unexpected person.
Thinking of his grandson who died in the old house, his face became gloomy and he walked out.
His opinion was the same as that of some of the younger generations of the Bai family. He hadn't seen Chi Shen the whole day yesterday, so he thought that this person must have died quietly in a corner of the old house, and turned into a ghost to answer the phone after his death, so he said that those ghosts were his friends. At the very least, Chi Shen knew that the old house was very dangerous on the night of He Chao's death, and it was not a place for ordinary people to live, so he ran away overnight, and then Bai Ximing called and deliberately said that he and his friends had a lot of fun in order to anger them.
He never expected that this person was not only not dead, but also not running away. He actually came back in the middle of the night. The call to the Bai family must be related to this person.
Of course, Mr. He could not have imagined that he would choose to work overtime to improve the working environment, which resulted in him coming back too late and not being waited for by the Bai family.
Chi Shen didn't know what these people thought of him. He just wanted to go back and have a good sleep. But just as he reached the door, an old man came out of the small house next to him, looked at him with a cold face, and scolded: "You came back so late, where have you been?"
Out of the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, Chi Shen still greeted with a smile: "Mr. He, good evening, I just got back from get off work."
Mr. He was really confused now: "Go to work?"
This person lives in a haunted house and yet goes out to find a job?
Chi Shen said helplessly: "I need to eat."
Mr. He seemed to think for a moment before he asked, "Where do you work?"
"Game company." Chi Shen replied.
As an elderly person, Mr. He was not very clear about the game company's statement, so he could only look at him suspiciously: "Then why are you still living here?"
"I also want to find a place closer, but I don't have money," Chi Shen said frankly, "The Bai family asked me to stay here, and I can't waste money."
He Lao snorted coldly when he heard this: "After all, you still have to live in the old house. I advise you not to dream of becoming the clan leader all day long. You won't even know how you died when the time comes."
Chi Shen looked at He Lao and said, "You seem to have misunderstood something. I have never thought about becoming the so-called clan leader. I am even surprised that there is still such a position as clan leader."
"What did I misunderstand?" He Lao said with disdain, "Tell me, who are the friends you said you made in the old house? Who did you team up with to harm my Bai family? Didn't you do all this just for the position of clan leader?"
Chi Shen slowly opened his eyes that were half closed due to sleepiness, and his lips curled up, revealing a gorgeous smile, "I did meet a lot of friends in the old house, do you want to meet them?"
A dark figure emerged from his shadow, and slowly his facial features became clear. It was a handsome young man wearing glasses.
“You really are—” He Lao’s angry voice stopped abruptly after seeing the black shadow’s facial features clearly. He seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. He immediately took a step back, muttering to himself: “How, how could it be…”
Suddenly, he uttered a short scream and ran away. His speed was totally unlike that of a man in his seventies.
Halfway through the run, he turned back and said, "You! You shall not die a horrible death!"
Chi Shen turned around and looked at Ji Xingchen in confusion: "What's going on?
