Chapter 128 The Way of Life

I myself can not see what is on my neck, Lin Tian said so, I immediately also hairy, said to reach out to touch, but the feeling is not different from the usual, only just been pinched more or less unbearable.

Ding Ding will be the little ghost fire raised, staring towards the place of my neck, I have been staring at his expression, earlier still only slightly worried look, which know that he only looked at a moment, the pupils of a moment on the dilated, revealing a panicked look.

I was anxious, still reaching out in the neck constantly touching, mouth can not stop asking them, said you do not not make a sound ah, in the end there is something!

Ding Ding looked dumbfounded for a while, which opened his mouth, said Tan Xi, there is a mark on your neck!

I was wondering in my heart, thought it was just pinched to leave handprints? But looking at Ding Ding's expression, it feels like it can't be that simple.

Lin Tian frowned and looked for a while, said Tan Xi ah, this mark on your neck, black, with the birthmark is almost, the shape of this well, a little like smoke that kind of messy look, I can not describe what is.

I feel that this mark has a great deal of origin, and even I may be killed because of it, may be the same as the snake scales on Ding Ding's body, so that he is not human and not a ghost. Coupled with Ding Ding's expression, I was even more anxious, busy asking him what effect this thing has.

Ding Ding's face was a little pale, and his expression was hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to tell me the truth or not.

I look at him like this, the heart some annoyed, towards him cursed, said you have something to say straight, fucking don't be like this swallowing, now is what happened I don't think it is strange!

Ding Ding heard my tone of voice is resolute, deep breath, which opened his mouth to me said, Tan Xi, this thing on your neck, is a ghost order!

Lin Tian is also anxious for me, yelling up, said you do not talk about these mysterious, we can not hear, just say what harm is not?

I was busy nodding, looking at Ding Ding with more anxiety. I can see that he is a little afraid, but compared to this, I want to know more about the danger of the impermanent left on my body this thing.

Ding Ding said that this was something that only a god-level ghost like Impermanence could make, like a hundred ghosts summoning order, when the time came, countless ghosts would be attracted by this mark. Then the person with the mark will be killed and devoured …….

I don t know why, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it felt no different from the role of this blood perch on my body, I am now accustomed to this kind of life.

But Ding Ding a pull up my hand, tone became anxious and serious, said Tan Xi this is not the same thing! How is the blood peroxide, but also just one after another to attract some ghosts and monsters to come. Once the ghost order is activated, the ghosts will eventually come together! At that point, where can you run?

I feel in my heart, that scene may be similar to the old home, a hundred ghosts night walk that night to be similar, at that time those ghosts and monsters, although not harmful to our purpose, but we were also made to suffer enough. What's more, this time, can be all rushed to take my life.

I immediately tensed up, busy tugging Ding Ding, said, you just said, this ghost order will only move to invite ghosts over, when will it be?

Ding Ding gazed at the thought for a while, said he has never seen this kind of thing, just listen to Mrs. Nine recounted it. When the ghost order comes out, it comes with the intention that the person will die. Now the ghosts in the city are a lot less, but certainly will come on a group of ghosts out of the day, to declare your doom!

I didn't think about it for a moment, but then I heard Tintin ask again, saying Tan Xi, what's the date today?

I froze for a moment, then realized that I couldn't even answer such a simple question now. The days were stressful, but the matter of what day of the month and what day of the week were no longer on my mind. Luckily, Lin Tian wasn't as muddled as I was and opened his mouth, and it was only when I heard it that I realized that it was already mid-August, but thinking about it, it had taken me a long time to be hospitalized for that period of time halfway through the year.

Ding Ding looked up at the sky, as if in a fine thought, muttering in his mouth counting the days, and finally his face suddenly sank, looked at my eyes and became worried, said Tan Xi, we only have five days ……

I was shocked in my heart, said How do you calculate these five days, what is the date after five days?

Ding Ding inhaled a breath and said a word that made my whole body shiver, he said, five days later, it is the ghost festival ah!

I immediately fell silent, I have always felt that the Ghost Festival or something, is just a saying that people use to send their condolences, and the last time we mentioned it, it still felt incredibly far away. I didn't realize that such a long time had passed in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, after experiencing these things, if I were to say that this festival has nothing to do with real ghosts, I would feel that I am lying to myself.

According to the traditional saying that I know, on the day of the Ghost Festival, the door of the Ghost Gate will be opened, and a passageway from the underworld to the world of the living will appear, so that the dead can have a chance to go home. Even Mrs. Nine chose this day when she used the painted skin to see what Tintin was capable of.

I went over all the words Ding Ding had said in my mind, and my mind conjured up a picture of the ghost festival on its own, and when the time came, if this ghost order moved, I didn't know how I would escape that day.

I subconsciously touched the place on my neck where the mark appeared, and slowly rubbed my hands together, wanting to remove this mark, and even in the end, I became more and more forceful, rubbing so hard that the skin and flesh had already ached, and Lin Tian grabbed over my hand, and tightly tugged on me without letting go. He yelled and said Tan Xi! You don't panic like this, if this mark can really be gotten off, do we still need to worry!

I was just confused by the images in my head, Lin Tian this yell, also let me completely awake, he looked at me, some intolerance in the bottom of his eyes, but I do not know what I should do good.

Ding Ding was also very hesitant, looking at me at a bit of a loss.

I squatted down and looked at those human heads in the coffin, everything I saw was still as disgusting as before, but I no longer had that feeling of revulsion in my heart, or rather, these things were not enough to stir my emotions.

I put the lid back on the coffin, pick up the shovel that I just threw aside, I don't know how I still have the mood to do these things, a shovel down, digging up a pile of soil, little by little, the coffin will be buried again.

Lin Tian see me this posture, probably think this can let me distract some, also took the shovel to start, and I will bury the coffin little by little, only Ding Ding stood on the side looking at us, eyebrows lowered, did not say a word.

We probably got about half an hour, only to bury all the coffins, tired out a sweat, but the heart inexplicably feel some fulfillment.

I sat on my butt next to the mound, Lin Tian also sat next to me, he seems to know what I was thinking, as if he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and then gave me a light, and then handed it to me in my hand, laughed foolishly and said, Tan, quickly come on a, even if there are no more days to live, you also ride more enjoyment to enjoy now.

I took the tobacco, blanked him a glance, said you fucking joke is not divided into time.

He looked at me with a smile, and threw a cigarette to Ding Ding, said the little clergyman you also do not stand, how to nag, you also rare to have this kind of time do not have to worry about, wait to buy some wine, how to go back to drink a good time.

It was only then that Ding came to sit in front of me, but at a glance at his appearance, it seemed that he still couldn't let go. Even though Lin Tian's words were so easy to say, I knew that he was only forcing a smile right now, even if he didn't mention Lin Jing's matter, my problems were enough to depress him. Saying all this now was just trying to make things easier for me.

However, he said a lot of words, see me and Ding Ding still not happy, then sighed, looked at me, and then look at Ding Ding, said the little magician you usually not quite optimistic, now why suddenly deflated.

Said, he turned his head to look at me, said And you Tan Xi, is not just decided to fight back, only a seal, you are scared out of your wits.

I fiercely inhaled a mouthful of cigarettes, and do not know how to explain to Lin Tian, he had not seen the appearance of the changeless anger at that time, it is not possible to really arrive at that day, the misfortune that occurred, far more than just in me alone. The only one who can be optimistic now is probably him.

I put out the cigarette on the ground, looked up at the sky, looking back on this half of my life, in fact, in addition to this more than a month nearly two months since the time, it is also considered to be a good life. And even from the beginning of being treated as a ghost, although the people around me are few, no one has really given up on me. Compared to others, like Xia Ruxuan, who hid in the Xie Family Shrine for such a long time, I don't know how many times luckier they are.

As I thought of this, I was about to sigh, but suddenly froze. Xia Ruxuan's face crossed my mind, and even the words he said I recalled one by one.

He was able to live to such an old age because of the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, a place of great ferocity, so ferocious that to a certain extent, the ghosts and monsters in the surrounding area did not dare to intrude, although it might not have an effect on some powerful ghosts and monsters. But to the ordinary ghosts and monsters, just like the human face tree, it is almost invincible already, maybe according to this line of thought, on the day of the Ghost Festival, I can also find a way of life.

I was happy, busy will be my own ideas, told Ding Ding and Lin Tian, said that on the day of the Ghost Festival, I will go back to my hometown, first of all, there is a human face tree in the, the security level is a little higher. Secondly, I'm remodeling the house, make a murderous house, play a deterrent role, maybe then, those ghosts and monsters without souls will not dare to enter the house, also take me no way.

Ding Ding listened to my words, thought for a while, said that this is also a way, but Tan Xi, remodeling the house this kind of thing is not a day or two can do well, and feng shui or something I do not know too much, five days time, can not help you what to do.

I found that this is also a problem, pondering for a while, the brain seems to be electrified as if, more excited, said I have a way, Ding Ding you see, in the house to put a big evil items, but also the same can play a deterrent effect is not it.

Ding Ding laughed a smile, said Tan Xi when you become so smart, the role is there, but where do we find that kind of thing now, it is impossible to park so many dead people like under the Xie family shrine.

I am still emotional, said I know there is such a thing, just get out a little trouble, need help.

Once Lin Tian heard that there was something, he was busy coming over and asked me, what is it?

I smiled and said, "Mirror! The mirror in Lu Yao's house!

Chapter 129: Seeing Again

The mirror made by my grandfather with the blood clotting coffin was originally a great evil thing that collided with the evil house, with it, I might have one more point of escape.

Ding Ding and Lin Tian listened to my description, both frequently nodded, even if Lin Tian did not understand the mystery in the middle, but also feel that I will say very reasonable. We discussed the specific steps again, the mirror was in Lu Yao's house, and looking at his old man's face, he definitely couldn't get it with a borrowed one, we might still have to spend a lot of effort.

Ding Ding told me to call the little ghost and tell him to rush in with the ghost car, grab the mirror and run.

I don't think this method is reliable. First of all, although I've only been to Lu's house once, Lu Yao's father is not a good person, and there must be some things in the house to drive away ghosts and calm down the house, so the ghost car won't be able to get in. In addition, the little ghost is not easy to leave us, these two days on the phone to contact is also safe, I also owe him a period of escape from the hands of impermanence out of the favor, really do not want to involve him in.

I think I'm quite right, even Lin Tian and Ding Ding, if they do not have anything to do with themselves, it is not really suitable to follow me now.

I lit another cigarette, took a hard drag, my mind turned, the idea still hit on the painted skin. For one thing, I had contacted her not too long ago, and for another, with her status as Lu Yao, it might just be a matter of hand-holding. It's just that I don't know if she's willing to do me this favor, and I'm very unsure in my heart.

But we both felt that this method could be tried, just wait for dawn. After I contacted Painted Skin, no in the study of countermeasures.

The discussion came to a conclusion here. We stood up, patted the dust on the body, Lin Tian took out the fire engine, the box containing the human head a fire to burn, the last of the dust was also buried by us with the soil, did not leave any traces.

We went straight back home, only to go upstairs extraordinarily quiet, passing by Tan Lan's room, are deliberately lowered the sound, afraid that he heard our noise.

I sat on the sofa, holding the ghost mound that sealed Wang's brother in my hand, and considered slightly, the days I can make sure I'm okay are only a few days away, if I don't survive after the Ghost Festival, then no one will be able to deal with Wang's matter. So I want to take advantage of this period of time to settle Wang's matter in the meantime.

But Ding Ding also said that although Brother Wang is now sealed, but he is controlled by Tan Lan, we want to make a move, there is still some considerable trouble. I was a bit confused, and asked him if it wasn't just a matter of untying the red thread that bound Wang's hands. After all, earlier I bit off the red thread on my brother-in-law's hand, and made those black ghosts under his control stagnate for a while.

Ding Ding said that things are not that simple, even if the red thread is broken, the control still continues, only that the ghosts will have a period of confusion, and as soon as the red thread is re-tied, they will be under control again, so this constant detachment is only a temporary way to keep them from following orders.

I couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, this thing is really hard to do.

I don't know why that night, I slept exceptionally well, or too tired during the day, or some countermeasures in my heart, so I wasn't in such a hurry, my mind is much better, and I'm in good spirits.

I got up early in the morning. Cleaned myself up a little bit, in the end, surprisingly, I felt that there is nothing to do, Ding Ding and Lin Tian are still sleeping, I was bored alone, and also called the hanged ghost out, the past two days he stayed in the ghost mound, the reason is still a fight with Ding Ding, a moment of thought to hide in.

I played poker with him in the living room, waiting for Ding Ding they woke up, see him out, but also be a variety of taunts, Ding Ding pointing at him to scold, said I said a tongue all day long sticking out in the outside disgusting, you girl on the glass heart, capable of staying in the ghost mound inside the whole life don't come out ah!

Hanging ghosts had been playing quite happy, once heard Ding Ding this, and hands dancing and gesticulating up, look very fierce, but just can not speak. I busy persuade them to say come on come on, just come out, don't quarrel, I go to see Lu Yao in the evening, still need the hangman with me a piece of it!

Hanged Ghost nodded fiercely, then thought and felt wrong, he did not even know what happened, just puzzled look at me, seems to want to ask why and Lu Yao again linked. I just shrugged too, really not in the mood to explain it to him. And with him dancing around with his hands, I didn't know if he understood, or if he continued to ask there.

It was hard to get to the evening, I counted the time, it was time to go out. I and Lin Tian want the keys to the car, he urged me to get rid of me said drive carefully, this car can not be in the ruined, if again broke the fortune, he will send me to sell myself to pay the debt.

This said I immediately respect up, connect the key action is extraordinarily careful, I want to really be sent to sell their bodies, estimated to sell a lifetime can not earn back the money to the car.

Hangman and I set off all the way towards the restaurant that Lu Yao said, when we arrived and took a look, we realized that although the decoration here is good, but it's just a small street spot, it's not considered to be a high-grade place. I only took a look outside and realized that Lu Yao knew I was broke and was thinking of me. I don't know what the reason was, but my mood was extraordinarily complicated, with some indescribable feelings.

I was just about to walk into the store, behind me was patted, turned my head and found Lu Yao was looking at me with a smile on her face, she wore a set of goose-yellow clothes, her hair did not continue to be tied into a ponytail, but all straightened out draped over her shoulders, smilingly said, Tan Xi, how about it, I chose this store, you can afford it, right?

I originally took a look at her appearance, truly feel good-looking. But when I think of this red face withered bones, the heart immediately and interfered, busy backward a step, want to stay away from some.

Lu Yao looked at my reaction, immediately tensed up her face, mouth grunted, making my heart extra nervous. She didn't look at me either, pointing at the hanging ghost beside me, she said, you, guard the door for me, not allowed to go in!

As soon as the words fell, she stepped into the store. Hanged Ghost innocently looked at me, seems to be asking for my thoughts, I helplessly shrugged my shoulders, said you look at me also useless ah, it is not what people say, who let you can not beat her.

He did not have to think that I was scolding him, immediately put on a sad face, silently turned his back to me, guarding the doorway motionless, making me extraordinarily speechless.

I walked into the store, look at Lu Yao sitting in front of a window on one side of the seat, look at me, and humming, I cursed in my heart like a mother, think what kind of thing ah! I am here to talk about things, but not to see his girlfriend, the atmosphere must make so strange why!

I sat on the opposite side of her, the heart is looking for how to speak, who knows she looked up at me, suddenly asked, Tan Xi, I say you this summer, but also wrapped in a scarf for what? And what the hell do you do.

I smiled awkwardly, pulled the scarf on the neck, want to make some tight, although I really hot some can not stand, but in order to put the neck mark to block, there is really no other way, after all, this thing knows the less people the better, no one wants to fight against the impermanent.

I only pretended, said recently met two small ghosts, neck injury, go out is not convenient, can only so block a block.

She "oh" a sound, expression is still strange, but did not continue to ask.

I was secretly happy, I can be regarded as my own muddle through. But my heart is also quite strange, according to my expected situation at home, I and Lu Yao material chat should be all kinds of tension, the atmosphere of all kinds of depressing right, but now the situation, we are like two people who have known each other for a long time, long time no see the same, and does not have that kind of musty feeling. It was as if the person sitting in front of us was still Lu Yao, the real Lu Yao.

She ordered the food, put her hands on the table, and suddenly said, "Tell me, what are you looking for me for?

I was hesitant to say anything, but when she asked me this question, I immediately opened my mouth like a chatterbox and spoke at great length.

I said, put it this way, there are two things want to find you to help, the first, is that I need Lu Yao home …… that really Lu Yao home town house mirror, you have to help me get, the second, is that I am now encountered a person called Tan Lan, from his mouth I already know that he also has an accomplice, the two are trying to find ways to want my life. Of course, Tan Lan is now useful to me, so you need to help me find out the other person, what to do you just watch out.

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes, nodded his head, and said What can I do? Kill him?

I didn't think about it too much and only said, Someone else is going to kill me too, what else can I do about it?

Lu Yao's eyes looked at me without blinking, her arms wrapped around her chest, her body slightly leaning back on the back of the chair, her gaze was like a sharp arrow, wanting to pierce through my body straight to what I was thinking in my heart.

I was panicked by her look, busy laugh to cover up, said you just focus on looking at me why ah, how you want to tell me yet.

She was silent for a while, nose long out of a breath, said, I just want to take a good look, sitting in front of me is not Tan Xi.

I was puzzled by this, said I'm not you, is there anyone else pretending to be me, even if there is, you do not also recognize at a glance.

She slightly sat up straight, reached out gently a wisp of hair by the ear, eyes flickering, "En" a sound, said, yes, I can recognize at a glance, the former Tan Xi is a wimp, but whether it is a friend or foe, there is always a point of mind in the consideration of others, mention ghosts, will only be scared of the chaotic hiding and fleeing, although stupid, but very cute, no scheming, who and the ghosts are not the same as the ghosts. Although a little stupid, but very cute, no scheming, whoever is with him has no pressure.

I heard her say so, the smile on the face slowly disappeared, long mouth, half a day can not say a word, I do not know what it is like.

She added, now sitting in front of me Tan Xi, looks the same as before, he has become bold, and can ask the ghosts and monsters he is afraid of to come out and discuss things. He knows what he wants and can talk about it, but at the same time he doesn't care about other people's life and death anymore. I suddenly felt a little disappointed because I still liked the old Tan Xi a little more.

I looked at her trembling and after a long time, I said, the old Tan Xi has changed, or else he wouldn't have survived this time.

Lu Yao shook her head slightly and suddenly came closer, saying that even if he died, what is the big deal. Tan Xi, do you want to know how I died?
