The author has something to say:
I rewrote the previous chapter, and half of the chapter before that was rewritten. I need to reread it to understand this chapter. I'm very sorry.
All the lights on the grass outside Bai Hengqing's house were turned on, and it was as bright as day for a moment. The brightest beam of light fell on the young man standing in the middle, just like the light on the protagonist on the stage.
The young man in the center of the beam of light was tall and slender, standing straight like a newly grown pine tree. He lowered his head slightly, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
What Chi Shen was greeted with was not praise for the protagonist, but questioning and abuse.
Many of the people who gathered around were not clear about what happened tonight. After all, even Bai Ximing had just received the news that evidence had been found that Chi Shen was raising ghosts. But after Bai Ximing said this, everyone showed an expression of understanding and started talking about it.
"He didn't know what he found in the old house. He learned how to raise ghosts!"
"He also killed He Chao and Lu Xiangyang, even though they had no grudges against each other."
"This man is so young, yet he has such a vicious heart!"
"I heard that it is the most sinister method. It is to dig out the bones of the dead and seal them up. Then the soul of the dead person will turn into a fierce ghost and look for his own bones every day."
"This is too cruel. How can there be such a cruel person?"
"Fortunately, he didn't come back to the Bai family. If the Bai family was inherited by such a person, we would all suffer in the future."
"Forget about other people, but he uses such a vicious method to deal with our own people in the Bai family. It's too cruel."
"You haven't been to the old house to see it. He Chao died a tragic death. His internal organs were eaten out. Lu Xiangyang lost half of his body. Look at the way he refuses to admit his fault. He must have done it!"
"I was wondering if anyone could live in an old house for more than three days. It turns out they are raising ghosts."
"It must be him who pissed off Mr. He and left!"
"The Ghost Sealing Pearl was found in the room where he lived. The evidence is irrefutable!"
Those gossipers were all here to deal with the affairs of the Bai family's old house. The relatives of the Bai family who had come to Bai Hengqing's place for a meeting and had not yet left, as well as some disciples from other families, talked a lot, but no one came to catch Chi Shen. They all thought that Chi Shen raised a ghost, so they naturally did not dare to approach easily. If Chi Shen brought out some powerful ghost, they would be dead here. They came to watch the fun, not to die.
Bai Ran looked at Chi Shen. Although he was pale with pain, covered in cold sweat, and even his lips had lost their color, he still smiled. He must make Chi Shen die here today!
Bai Ximing looked at Chi Shen with a look of regret: "Today we found the criminal of the Bai family who raised ghosts and killed people. I never thought that it was my own flesh and blood. But please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation! Catch him!"
Immediately, some of the Bai family members who wanted to show off rushed over.
Bai Ran sat by the window with a cruel smile. If he killed Chi Shen, no one would know that he betrayed Bai Ximing today. Even if he broke one leg, he would still be a good child to his parents and a young master of the Bai family who deserved sympathy.
Under the light, on Chi Shen's shoulder, a ghost face muttered in fear: "What should I do? Brother, please think of a solution quickly. I don't want to die here!"
Chi Shen smiled and said softly, "Do me a favor."
Ghost Face: “Ah?”
At the moment when the Bai family was about to catch Chi Shen, Chi Shen raised his hand, threw the ghost face on his shoulder into the sky, and at the same time put away the small mirror in his pocket.
The ghost energy spread out from where Chi Shen was like an explosion. The Bai family members who were about to touch him were immediately knocked down by the impact and fell to the ground.
The ghost face in the air immediately realized what Chi Shen meant, and quickly expanded into a pancake in the air, pretending that the ghost energy was emitted by him, and shouted in his sharp and unpleasant voice: "Let's see who dares to touch Chi Shen!"
This roar seemed to confirm that he was raising a ghost. The crowd became agitated and many of them took out their Bagua mirror peach wood swords.
"Quick, stop him!" someone yelled.
Suddenly, a violent wind blew in the garden, and the bushes suddenly ignited with a faint blue flame. The rockery in the garden exploded, revealing its black interior.
Chi Shen had long understood that this garden was carefully arranged to ward off evil spirits and avoid danger. Ordinary ghosts could not get in at all. The only reason he could bring in the broken-arm ghost and the ghost face was because he had a faceless mirror.
He did not understand the arrangements of these formations, but he knew that in the face of absolute power, these formations would first explode and be completely destroyed.
From the moment sparks ignited in the bushes, the formation of the garden was broken, the invisible barrier that blocked the ghosts disappeared, and all the ghosts could enter and exit freely.
The wind suddenly stopped. On the entire grassland, only Chi Shen was still standing quietly. Even Bai Ximing raised his hand to avoid the strong wind and the sudden explosion of ghost energy.
"I didn't kill He Chao and Lu Xiangyang," Chi Shen stood in the white light that was still shining on him, becoming the only protagonist tonight. "As for who killed them, I think it would be more accurate to ask them themselves."
A strong stench of decay wafted in, like the stench of rotting meat in a refrigerator full of meat in the summer that was opened after a power outage for ten days.
In such a foul smell, Bai Ran leaned against the window and shouted, "Their souls have been eaten by ghosts. How can you ask? You still want to quibble after all this!"
Chi Shen did not respond to this.
At this time, outside the garden, a monster walked in. His upper body was covered with tumors and abscesses, and his lower body was indeed that of an ordinary man, even wearing cotton pajamas. With every step he took, the stench became stronger.
"Bai Ran," the monster opened its huge mouth and spoke in a human voice, even a very ordinary young man's voice. A trace of pain appeared in his eyes hidden between the tumors. "Don't you recognize me?"
The smile on Bai Ran's face froze. He looked at the monster several times and immediately shook his head: "I don't know you. Why should I know you?"
"Are you... Lu Xiangyang?" A young man in the crowd hesitated and took a step forward and asked, "This is Lu Xiangyang's voice. Are you Lu Xiangyang?!"
Chi Shen took a step back, raised his hand and pulled down the ghost face that was still pretending to be powerful in the air, and gave up this bright stage to Lu Xiangyang.
That day at the old house, he brought Lu Xiangyang to He Chao. Lu Xiangyang was vomiting so hard that he was dizzy. He was afraid that Lu Xiangyang would not be able to hold on and would vomit to death or be scared to death, so he gave him a trace of ghost energy to keep him alive and stabilize his soul.
Unexpectedly, this ghost energy not only temporarily saved Lu Xiangyang's life, but also made him merge with the ghost that swallowed him when he was swallowed by the ghost, and took control of the ghost's body. Because Lu Xiangyang's upper body was bitten by the ghost, after the fusion, the ghost filled his upper body and turned it into a deformed tumor. Because the fusion was incomplete, his body was covered with abscesses and emitted a foul odor.
“This is Lu Xiangyang’s clothes!”
"This look must be from Lu Xiangyang!"
More people recognized Lu Xiangyang, and Bai Ran suddenly panicked. He denied it with all his might: "No, he is not Lu Xiangyang. Lu Xiangyang has been eaten by ghosts. Where did you find a monster to impersonate Lu Xiangyang? Don't think you can get away with it!"
Lu Xiangyang himself naturally knew who killed him, and that was Bai Ran. Seeing Lu Xiangyang coming out, Bai Ran was completely panicked. He could not admit the crime. As long as he denied that this person was Lu Xiangyang, he still had a chance!
"That day, you told me that Chi Shen wanted to take your position, so you tricked him into the old house," Lu Xiangyang, who had transformed into a monster, walked step by step into the light and looked up at Bai Ran, "You asked He Chao and I to go into the old house and let me bring the hundred-year-old ashes in... You said that this would make Chi Shen's death more painful."
The crowd was in an uproar.
This was completely different from what they knew. Even Bai Ximing was surprised at the situation and did not try to stop it. Xu Xiuyun, who followed the crowd, was stunned and murmured, "Ranran... Why would Ranran do such a thing?"
