"What, what yin debt?" Bai Hengqing exhaled white air from his mouth and his body began to tremble as he spoke.
Chi Shen did not answer this question, but stepped aside to make way for Bai Wan: "Sister, go and do what you want to do."
The female ghost in wedding dress stood quietly at the gate of the side courtyard without moving. Her veil moved slightly, and she seemed to raise her head to look at the two shadows floating in the air.
"Bai Wan!" One of the male souls spoke in a dignified voice. The voice seemed to resound through the sky, carrying a shocking pressure. "Go back!"
"Bai Wan!" The female soul also spoke, her voice was cold and indifferent, and she did not tolerate rejection, "Go back!"
Bai Hengqing had been frozen by the Yin Qi and could not stand. He half-knelt on the ground, hugged the spirit tablet, and kept chanting: "Ancestors, please bless me, ancestors, please bless me, bring back the sinner Bai Wan, ancestors, please bless me..."
Bai Wan's body trembled slightly, as if there was a force pulling her back, but the red cloth shoes under her skirt stepped lightly forward. She was trembling, but she did not retreat. She wanted to move forward, she wanted to walk out of this side courtyard, but the invisible force that bound her stopped her from moving forward.
"You don't want to listen to your mother?" the female soul said fiercely, "Go back!"
"What did I teach you? At home, parents are the most important!" The male soul also shouted in a shocking voice, "You don't even listen to your father. Do you want to be punished by the family law?"
Hearing the word "family rules", Bai Wan trembled obviously, and more blood flowed from her body. The bloody blood dripped from her chest, soaking the red hem of her skirt and gathering on the ground. Her wedding dress also became torn, with whip marks, knife marks, and even burn marks, reflecting what she had suffered.
Chi Shen looked at the marks all over Bai Wan's body and frowned deeply. He looked at the two souls: "Family rules? Sister, you go forward, they dare not."
The two souls floating in the air also looked towards Chi Shen. What they saw seemed to be a little different from what ordinary people saw. Their gazes upon people seemed to be substantial and made people feel uncomfortable all over.
After Chi Shen came out of the death game, all he wanted was to live a comfortable life, so when others made him uncomfortable, he also decided to make them uncomfortable.
His pupils turned pitch black, and Chi Shen looked at the two of them, using "Empathy".
Just like pulling two fish out of the long river of time, Chi Shen dug up their flesh and blood, removed the bone spurs, and carefully studied their texture and blood vessel patterns. The chill of exploration penetrated into the spinal cord and merged into the blood, making the two souls that responded to the call exude a chill.
Their eyes met, and within a moment, the two souls were defeated. Their bodies were tinged with dark blue, tainted with ghostly energy, but the male soul was still unwilling to give up: "You are also a descendant of my Bai family, but you are tainted with evil magic and you wantonly spy on the souls of your ancestors. You should be killed!"
"Respect your elders. They deserve respect." Chi Shen looked at them and said with a smile, "It's a pity that you don't deserve it."
The use of "Empathy" just now made Chi Shen understand one thing. These two people were indeed summoned by their descendants, and the souls of Bai Chongshan and Shen Hui, who were also the souls of Bai Wan's parents, saved him a trouble. He had been thinking of settling down and helping Bai Wan find where her parents died, but he didn't expect that this person was directly summoned by Bai Ran, so he didn't have to look for him.
Moreover, the souls of these two people were so filthy that Chi Shen could not feel any empathy for them.
By using "empathy", he can always receive the emotions of the soul and even have the same experiences as the other party, as if he has lived the same life as the other party. His own consciousness will also be affected to a certain extent, but he is mentally strong enough not to show any clues. After he realized that this is a safe world, he consciously reduced its use.
This time when using the skill, Chi Shen had no emotional fluctuations at all, because he could not understand what these two people did at all. Whether it was cultivating evil spirits and making the soul of his tragically dead daughter suffer every day, or some other dirty things done for the benefit of the Bai family, they all made him feel sick. Throughout the whole process, he was like a person watching a disgusting movie, instead of becoming the protagonist of this movie and experiencing it all.
If we talk about the impact on Chi Shen, there is one. Chi Shen felt that his memory was polluted once. Fortunately, his mind can automatically filter out useless information, so he doesn't have to remember every detail.
"You have no respect for your elders and you contradict our ancestors, so you should be expelled from the Bai family!" Bai Chongshan was furious and was about to press down on Chi Shen with his palm.
Seeing this scene, although Bai Ran was afraid and dared not move, there was still happiness in his eyes. Being expelled from the Bai family by the ancestors, there was no way that Chi Shen could come back. He looked at Bai Hengqing, hoping that Bai Hengqing would remember the words of the ancestors. With this old man who had abided by the rules of the Bai family all his life, there was no way that Chi Shen could return to the Bai family.
Seeing Bai Hengqing's current appearance in the red candle, Bai Ran showed some shock and resentment again.
Bai Hengqing knelt among the red candles on the ground, no longer moving, and no one knew whether he was fainted or dead. A layer of frost had formed on his coat and hair due to the overly strong yin energy, covering the old man like a spider web.
It doesn't matter if the second grandfather didn't hear it. Bai Ran's eyes revealed hatred. No matter whether Chi Shen could return to the Bai family or not, he was not going to let Chi Shen live. He looked at Bai Chongshan's pressing palm, ready to watch Chi Shen turn into ashes.
Seeing Bai Chongshan's move, Bai Wan immediately wanted to step forward to block Chi Shen, but Chi Shen stretched out his hand first and stopped Bai Wan. He smiled and looked at Bai Zongshan's shadow: "I am not a member of the Bai family. I kicked myself out of the Bai family. Thank you."
The shadow fell on Chi Shen, and only his clothes were blown by the wind. He looked unharmed, and he didn't even raise his hands.
Too weak.
Chi Shen had already classified the two souls in his mind. They should be the rule-based souls of the Bai family, which would have great destructive power on matters related to the Bai family. However, he had just denied that he was a member of the Bai family, and because of his physique brought over from the death game, the damage caused to him by these two people was probably just like tickling.
He manipulated the Yin energy that he had engraved into the two souls using empathy and directly destroyed their souls from within, causing their figures to immediately shrink and dim, but not to disappear completely.
Bai Chongshan's body became even darker. Chi Shen naturally knew what this person was thinking. When he found that something was wrong, he wanted to escape. Chi Shen certainly would not let them escape. He went straight forward and grabbed the spirit tablets of the two and detained them here.
The two souls finally showed panic on their faces.
While doing all this, Chi Shen even had time to glance at Bai Ran standing beside him. Because there had been no movement, Chi Shen was a little afraid that Bai Ran was frozen to the ground, which would be very troublesome to shovel out.
Bai Ran stood there as if petrified, his eyes full of confusion and doubt about the world.
His eyes still showed emotion. Chi Shen felt that he should be able to get up by himself, so he ignored it and continued to look back at Bai Wan, encouraging her: "If they don't let you go out, you have to go out to show them, so that they know that parents can't manipulate their children at will."
At this time, the pressure from Bai Chongshan and Shen Hui had decreased a lot. It was as if a heavy burden on Bai Wan was slowly disappearing. The wound on her chest that had been bleeding for years suddenly stopped, and the blood that had been flowing out also disappeared. She moved her head slightly, as if she turned her head to look at Chi Shen, and then took a step forward.
"Bai Wan! Have you forgotten the "Female Rules" that you learned?" Shen Hui's voice came from afar, a little anxious. She wanted to do something, but suddenly found that she had lost the control over Bai Wan.
"Nothing can restrain you," Chi Shen said, "You don't need to listen to those rules that make you obey others blindly just to make you their appendage. You belong only to yourself. You can decide what you want to do and what path you want to take."
A light laugh came from under the red veil, the sound as clear as melting snow in winter. Bai Wan reached out to lift up the hem of her skirt, stepped on her red embroidered shoes, and walked out of the yard step by step.
She walked lightly, and in the anger of Bai Chongshan and Shen Hui, she walked out of the side courtyard door and walked towards the courtyard sprinkled with moonlight and starlight. The Bai family rules that once bound her, the so-called family rules, and the "Female Rules" and "Female Precepts" that were instilled in her, all turned to ashes behind her.
With every step she took, the wounds on her body healed a little, and the marks of whipping also disappeared. The past pain could no longer control her. When she reached the center of the courtyard, all the bloodstains on Bai Wan's body had disappeared. She turned around in the moonlight and looked in the direction of Chi Shen.
Chi Shen also showed the smile of an old father. It is really not easy to raise a younger sister.
When the blood dried up, the full appearance of Bai Wan's wedding dress was finally revealed. As the Bai family was a wealthy family, the wedding dress they used for their daughters' weddings was naturally of intricate workmanship and very luxurious. Wearing such a solemn red wedding dress on Bai Wan, she looked virtuous and quiet, like a bride who was full of expectations for her husband's family.
"Brother," Bai Wan said gently, "I want to ask my parents to come to my room to talk about something."
"Go ahead," Chi Shen said with a relieved smile, "You haven't seen each other for so long, it's time to catch up."
The souls of Bai Chongshan and Shen Hui immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to turn into smoke and escape, but they were unable to leave because of the captured spirit tablets. Bai Wan came behind them in the blink of an eye and grabbed the corners of their clothes like a shy girl. The two souls immediately felt the yin energy coming towards them, as if they were in the cold winter.
"I am your father and mother, do you want to be punished by God?" Bai Chongshan roared in anger.
Bai Wan's laughter floated in the air like a silver bell: "Even if I am punished by heaven, I still want to thank you."
"No, let me go!" Shen Hui's soul struggled, "You loved my storytelling the most when you were a child, Xiaowan, Wanwan, you can't do this to me!"
"Then I also want to thank my mother for telling me those stories about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues," Bai Wan smiled, "Now it's my turn to tell stories to my mother."
"I also want to express my gratitude to this descendant of the Bai family who invited my parents here in person." Bai Wan said gently when she passed by Bai Ran.
Bai Ran's frozen eyes suddenly moved, and he immediately got up: "Sister! Sister Bai Wan! I didn't know they were the ones who harmed you. If you let me go, I will definitely worship you every day in the future--"
The pale fingers wearing golden gloves were placed on Bai Ran's clothes. Bai Ran's eyes suddenly widened and looked at the bright red wedding dress so close to him.
"I was only 17 when I died, and you actually called me sister."
Amid Bai Ran's terrified cries, Bai Wan dragged him into the side yard. At this moment, he finally understood that when Chi Shen called him "sister", he was actually calling Bai Wan.
The old house gradually became quiet, with only screams coming from the side yard.
Chi Shen shook his head and was about to leave when he heard Bai Wan's voice again: "Brother, don't worry, I will let him live. I know you are a kind person."
Chi Shen thanked his sister for her thoughtfulness and went to Bai Hengqing.
Just as Bai Wan said, it would be very troublesome if someone died here. He didn't want to experience the situation again when He Chao died and couldn't rest in the middle of the night, so he held the old man with one hand and walked towards his room.
Several young people were busy outside their room. They put the person bitten by the old zombie on the floor of the corridor, and used a towel soaked in sticky rice water to wrap the wound. Some people even poured sticky rice water on him. They wanted to move the person directly into the room and put him on the bed to deal with him. But they saw the old zombie retreat directly to the next room. At this moment, two broken wooden doors were hanging outside, and they could still see the closed black coffin in that room. They didn't dare to go in immediately, for fear that the old zombie would climb up and block the door, so they dared to deal with it at the door.
After a busy period, the poison in the bitten man's corpse was finally under control. Just as they were about to check on Bai Hengqing's situation, they saw Chi Shen dragging people over.
Chi Shen's room was separated from the atrium by some trees and weeds, so they could not directly see what was happening in the atrium. The sounds were also extremely chaotic, and they heard more of the sound of the wind, so they did not know the specific situation. When they saw Chi Shen bringing Bai Hengqing over, they were all surprised.
"What's wrong with Second Grandpa?" A younger generation immediately went to help Bai Hengqing.
"He's fainted from the cold. He should wake up if you cover him up." Chi Shen said calmly.
As soon as he said that, someone immediately wanted to go into the room to get a blanket, then looked at the black coffin in the next room, and finally decided to take off his coat to cover Bai Hengqing, and the other juniors followed suit.
"Are you okay? Where's Bai Ran?" After covering Bai Hengqing with clothes, someone looked behind Chi Shen.
"He did a good thing, and someone wants to thank him, so he can't get away for the moment. Don't worry." Chi Shen said calmly and went to check the wound of the bitten man.
The corpse poison was indeed controlled, but not completely eradicated. If it was delayed any further, the man's arm might have been crippled.
Chi Shen gently touched the edge of the wound with his fingers, and a ghostly aura swam into the wound like a black snake.
"What are you doing?" A young man wearing glasses stopped him, "Don't touch him. If you move, the poison will spread and he will die!"
Chi Shen withdrew his hand. He actually wanted to suggest using a knife to cut off the skin infected with corpse poison. But now it seemed that these people would definitely not agree, so he would not do anything unnecessary.
"Now Second Grandpa is in a coma, and Young Master Bai is nowhere to be found," one person said, "What should we do?"
"Let's wait for Second Grandpa to wake up." someone suggested.
Someone else said, "Take the Second Grandfather out first. This... Ahem, if Young Master Chi can come, then Young Master Bai must be fine too."
Chi Shen thought it was a bit strange and corrected him, "Don't call me Master."
The man said, "Then why are you being called Young Master? Isn't it good enough? We are showing respect to you!"
"Just call me Chi Shen. I have nothing to do with the Bai family." Chi Shen said.
The other people looked at each other, and saw doubt and disbelief in each other's eyes, but they did not force it. After all, now was not the time to talk about this. They just said, "Brother Chi Shen, do you want to go with us?"
"No, you guys go ahead." Chi Shen shook his head, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Several people looked at each other in confusion, and one of them advised: "Brother, we understand your desire to return to the Bai family, but life is more important."
Chi Shen: "...No, I'm really sleepy."
One of them looked at the black coffin in the room next door with fear and pulled him: "Let's go. It will be more unsafe here the later it gets."
Chi Shen was very helpless: "Please listen to me, I'm not kidding, I really want to sleep."
Seeing the brother's persuasive look, Chi Shen felt that he could only call for help. He looked at his own shadow——
"Look what I caught!" Suddenly, a man squatting at the door of Chi Shen's room jumped up, very happy, "It's the female ghost who made the phone call that Master Bai mentioned. We have done a great job!"
Chi Shen looked up and saw the female ghost in red being dangling in the air by one of her arms, with the other hand trying to hold a paper phone and a small mirror. She was looking at Chi Shen expectantly, obviously because she saw Chi Shen coming over and wanted to play with him, that's why she was caught.
Just now, Chi Shen also noticed the female ghost in red. Although she was called out by Bai Ran's soul bell, she immediately woke up and slipped away when the old zombie made a fuss. She didn't expect to be caught in this posture now.
But the female ghost in red is not an ordinary ghost.
"You'd better put her down first, it's dangerous." Chi Shen reminded them.
The man grabbed the red-clothed female ghost and shook her: "It's okay. This thing has almost no Yin energy. It's very weak. I don't know how it called Uncle Bai. I have to catch it and study it carefully."
Chi Shen took a look at the red-clothed ghost's rapidly growing nails and thought it would be quicker to deal with the aftermath directly. He said, "Help me keep an eye on it and make sure no one dies."
His shadow flickered slightly: "Okay."
An eerie atmosphere spread behind the young men. The younger one with glasses was discussing with others how to move the second grandfather out. When he turned around, he saw the head of a female ghost crying blood and almost had a cardiac arrest.
"Run!" He screamed, and the others finally realized that something was wrong. This female ghost was not someone they could deal with, so they ran away.
Soon there was no one left at the door of Chi Shen's room, even the female ghost in red disappeared, leaving only him and an old man lying on the ground.
Chi Shen sighed, went to the next room, said sorry to the old zombie, helped him close the door, went to wash his hands, and then squatted back next to Bai Hengqing.
What should this person do?
It's okay to just leave it here, but if something happens, such as freezing to death, it will probably be blamed on him.
Just as Chi Shen was thinking, the old man on the ground groaned in pain and woke up slowly.
When Bai Wan stood at the gate of the side courtyard, he was so frozen by the yin energy that he could hardly think, and he almost thought he would die there.
Now he found that not only was he not dead, but there was also a younger person guarding him, waiting for him to wake up.
Trying hard to open his cloudy eyes, Bai Hengqing wanted to see the face of this young man clearly to see who saved him.
It should be Bai Ran, he is the most likely one.
His eyes suddenly widened.
