Chapter 174 The Journey
He walked down the stairs one step at a time, and for the first time in my life, I even wished that the stairs of their house were now haunted, so that he would never finish walking for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, things will never develop as I expect them to, his eyes slowly swept over everyone in the house, and finally landed on me who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a single word, you guys just now, what are you talking about!
I see his eyes have been red, this is completely the usual to be angry look, a time also dare not make a sound, but his mother stepped over his head, behind wiped the tears on his face, and then turned to pull him a hand, said we …… are discussing the previous things, said some of the sadness, no your business, you quickly back upstairs to go! ……
I just wanted to nod my head and agree with almost, who knows Lin Tian shook off his mother s hand and said I heard it all upstairs! How many other things are you guys hiding from me!
As soon as his words fell, he turned to his eight generations of ancestors and me and droned, Where are you taking me? I owe you all, what a debt!
I listen to his tone, know that although he heard some content upstairs, but the specific things are not clear, also do not know what he thinks in his heart, but look at this situation, obviously want to put those things that are concealed one by one to stab out.
The eighth generation ancestor did not have any expression on his face, and it was only at this time that he showed his strong side in front of outsiders. With one hand behind his back, he took a step forward, his tone was also forceful, and he said bluntly, "Little friend Lin Tian, earlier on, I had explained to your mother that I would take you to a place with us, and today I have come to pick you up to take you away, regardless of whether or not you are willing to do so, I am going to take you away. As for the debt on your body, there is Tan Xi and you will be divided!
I must say this, violently raised his head toward him looked, this old thing, obviously can say clear things, a moment to dump the burden on me, in vain before I heart also some admiration for him this kind of calm if the style. I immediately lowered my head, did not dare to look at Lin Tian's gaze, my heart was as if someone was fighting.
But immediately after, I heard Lin Tian coldly say towards me, Tan Xi, stand up!
I was silent for a long time, has been kneeling on the ground did not move, also did not look up, but not a moment, Lin Tian walked up, a hand dragged me from the ground up, also do not care so much force will pull my body wounds, just pulling me shouted, you say, you give me all clear!
Only then did I slowly look over towards him, seeing that his entire face had been suffocated red, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, his eyes gazing closely at me, making me feel very bad in my heart.
Then he urged me again, I only then clenched my teeth tightly, my voice seemed to be squeezed out of my teeth, and swallowed, your father …… is the …… murderer who killed my father and Ding Ding his father!
Lin Tian's body was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly became puzzled, he looked at me confused, and at a loss for words looked at his mother, his mother hands covered her mouth, as if she wanted to defend a few sentences, but never said a word.
He was silent for a long time, suddenly turned his head, rushed to me, you say it again?
I looked at his appearance, anxious tears are almost out, but just words, the heart as if unloaded a big burden like, and then shouted Your father killed my ding ding ……
But my words have not finished, Lin Tian suddenly clenched up his fist, a punch hard in my face, my face ate the pain, the body under the backward leaning back, a crash in the coffee table, will be placed on all the cups and lanterns all knocked over on the ground, as if I am now in the same mood, into a full of debris.
Lin Tian his mother covered his mouth screamed, tears flowed out at once, busy running over to pull him, said Xiaotian you don't get excited …… things in fact …… in fact ……
She "actually" half a day, but the second half of the sentence, never said out. Lin Tian also similarly pulled his mother's hand, pointing at me incoherently said, Mom, this person is not Tan Xi, absolutely not! Tan Xi wouldn't say such stupid things, he should be with Ding Ding right now, they don't even go out anymore!
I slowly got up from the ground and reached out to wipe at the corner of my mouth, only to realize that all the blood in my mouth had come out from his punch. But I wasn't angry at all in my heart, I even felt a little funny, but I couldn't laugh out loud.
Eight generations of ancestors calmly glanced at me, sighed deeply, and then turned to Lin Tian, said, when I brought him, in fact, you already understand in your heart, why deceive yourself and others, this debt, in the end, will have to be repaid.
Lin Tian looked at him, and finally looked directly at me, I could never understand that look in his eyes, there is sadness, there is loss, but also want to resist the color of determination, as if that moment, our tacit understanding and friendship over the years, have been gone.
He was silent for a long time, suddenly smiled like a self-deprecating smile, swallowed a mouthful of spit, turned his head and asked his mother, said, Mom, when will my father go out and come back? I seem …… to have not seen him for three months ……
His mother face tear tracks constantly, skimmed his mouth, reached out and straightened the collar of his shoulder, said Your father he …… will not come back. I got rid of him, and from now on it will be just the two of us here, just the two of us at home.
I just remembered, from nine Ye back, I came to Lin Tian's home, never saw his father's figure, now think about it, three months ago, eight generations of ancestors will be everything to Lin Tian his mother tray out, when she knew her husband will take his son to the debt, it is not likely to be completely severed and Lin Tian his father's relationship, although on the surface, just so that Lin Tian thought that his father went out to go.
When Lin Tian heard this, the expression on his face remained indifferent, as if these things, could no longer stir up the waves in his heart. He took a deep breath, then suddenly said to me, Tan Xi, you come with me.
I didn't know what he wanted to do, only to see him turn around and walk towards the upper floor, I hesitated for a while before I took a step to follow his footsteps.
When I got to his room, he and I sat on the bed, but the two of us never said a word, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it felt unnatural. He had both arms in his lap, shielding his face with his hands, and was staring at the floor without moving. It was only after a long time that I heard him sniffle a little, then look at me sideways and say, Tell me the story, bit by bit, in detail.
I looked at his reddened eyes and hesitated for a long time before I told him everything that his father had come to collect the body in the old wasteland and everything that my father had told me, one by one. During the speech, I have been watching his expression, try not to describe his father so overly, but when it is those simple narration, it has exceeded the scope of what he as a son can bear.
Although the expression on his face was always calm, but when I finished everything, this kind of calm, let me feel a little scary. It was as if there was a storm coming.
The more calm he acted, the more nervous I felt in my heart. I was afraid that he would do something unbelievable, and there was nothing I could do to stop him.
He lit a cigarette and burned it to the bottom in less than a minute, then casually dropped it into the fleece blanket on the ground, stepped hard on a pile of black powder with his foot, then turned his head, suddenly smiled at me, and said, Tan Xi, I'll go with you.
I did not answer, although I do not want this in my heart, but this matter is not by me can decide. It was as if my father and eight generations of ancestors had said that even if he didn't want to go, it was not up to him.
But before I could make a sound, I heard him say, I'm a little annoyed in my heart right now, and I also want to pack up my things for going out, you guys come to pick me up in the evening, so that I can rest a little bit first.
I nodded in silence, stood up and wanted to come down, also give him a little space to think for himself. But just as I walked to the door, I suddenly heard him say again, Tan Xi, if I go this time, will I die?
My body trembled for a moment, holding back the emotions that tumbled up in my heart, and said in an unusually resolute manner, It won't!
He again laughed softly and said faintly, I know ……
I stood in the doorway for more than ten seconds, never looking back at him, before finally stepping out, reaching out and gently pulling the door of the room closed, but just came out, suddenly heard him sobbing very softly and gently in the room, as if those emotions that were held back would only erupt when he was alone. I blinked my eyes quickly a few times, my heart was too hard to speak, hesitated for a moment, which went downstairs.
Lin Tian his mother sat on the sofa, saw me go downstairs, immediately stood up, asked me Tan Xi, Xiao Tian and you said what?
I glanced at her, only said he decided to go with us, Lin Tian's mom immediately seemed to have been drained of all strength as if, dejectedly sat down on the sofa.
I didn't care about her, and only said to the eight generations of ancestors, let's go out and wait for him.
The eighth generation ancestor glanced at me, hesitantly nodded, then took a step and walked out, we got into the carriage, I asked him to drive the car farther away from here, the further the better, the eighth generation ancestor didn't refuse, and directly took us to a place two streets away, where we couldn't see Lin Tian's house at all.
Only then did he say to me, Tan Xi, I naturally know what's on your mind, but you have to understand that Lin Tian can't run away.
I nodded my head and said I know. But in my heart, I just don't want to stay in front of his house, hoping that he will take advantage of this period of time, and be able to take his mother to leave, and disappear forever so that we can't find it, even though I know in my heart, just like in the Xie Family Ancestral Temple brat said that I won't run away, Lin Tian will be the same, he won't leave either.
We waited until the sky darkened, this neighborhood was prosperous but also peaceful. The eighth generation ancestor looked at the sky and said Tan Xi, the time is almost up.
I closed my eyes and did not look at him, only said that it was still early, but I did not expect that immediately after he returned a sentence, Lin Tian's home fire, has been burning for an hour.
I jerked up, towards the direction of his home to see, only to see that direction, there are rolling smoke rising up, the thick clouds in the sky, have been printed into a red.
I was anxious, and hurriedly urged to let the carriage toward that side, came to the street I saw the fire engine has been parked not far from the place of his home, a lot of people gathered around to watch the fire gradually go down. Lin Tian was sitting alone on the street behind the crowd, with a small bag by his side, looking unblinkingly at the sea of fire, his figure so lonely that it seemed like a homeless wanderer. At that time, I felt that his previous world had also gone up in flames with the crimson flames.
Chapter 175: Counter Kill
I got down from the carriage and walked step by step to Lin Tian's side to sit down, and it was only at this time that he realized I had come. He turned his head to look at me, and then looked back at the blazing fire. Then took out a cigarette, lit slowly inhaled a mouthful, and long spit out.
I asked him, your mom?
He licked his cracked lips and said I just sent her back to her grandfather. If I can come back, I will go over there to find her for life.
I paused for a moment and then asked him, "Don't you want the house?
He shook his head and said no, this house is too big and spacey, my mom is not comfortable living alone.
I heard this, the heart can not help but a sad, in fact, in his heart, has decided to go, there is no chance to come back. I have never had this thought, just want to find a little comfort from the mouth of the eight generations of ancestors in the uncertainty of the possibility. I told myself that we were only going to find out the secrets that no one knew about the Xie Family Ancestral Hall. A few people will go, or a few people will come back.
He finished a cigarette, pressed it out on the ground, grabbed the small bag beside him, opened it, and suddenly took out a small piece of jade from it, and said, in the things you told me before, the jade that my father got is this one, right?
I took it in my hand and looked at it, the shape and style, indeed and my father described in the very similar, holding in the hand is very cold. I haven't opened my mouth, he continued, this is my father gave me a birthday gift when I was a child, at that time not so rich now, only think it is quite rare, he asked me to collect it well, I also did so. But now I think about it, I'd rather I didn't know when I'd lose it or smash it up.
I quietly looked at the hands of the ancient jade, did not say a word, Lin Tian suddenly skimmed his mouth again, joked towards me, said how, is really good stuff it, after all, is my father gave me suicide things ah, how the texture has to be worthy of me.
I do not have the heart to laugh a little, the heart is still repressed to say, Lin Tian as if he wants to suppress those sad emotions in his heart do not show, but every word in his mouth, and everywhere to show that he cares.
But at this time, he also stood up, looked at me, patted his butt and said let's go.
The words fell, he took the lead towards the carriage walked over, I followed behind him, looking at his back, the heart is always uncontrollable feel that I am looking at him step by step towards the hell of the general, I do not know where to come from the bottom of the air, I suddenly stopped in his tracks, towards him said a sentence, etc. He turned back to look at me, puzzled, and said, "I'm not sure where to come from!
He turned back to look at me, puzzled frowned, asked me what was wrong.
I said the little ghost gave me his spirit bell, but now in the hands of that fake Tan Xi, before I go, I want to get that bell back.
He looked at me without saying anything, in fact, we all understand in our hearts that I am now completely looking for some right and wrong out, do not want to embark on the journey so soon.
Eight generations of ancestors to see us standing in place did not move, which drove the carriage to our side, asked what happened?
I took a step forward, said what I just said again, and also involved Ding Ding and Hangman, they are beside Xie Chengfeng, completely unaware of the truth, can't just leave them alone.
Eight generations of ancestors closed his eyes and thought for a while, suddenly said, there is a soul bell in hand, the probability of us being safe is one more point, want to go and get it back, it may not be impossible, just some trouble. But fake Tan Xi on your friends have no malicious intent, this you do not have to worry.
I hurriedly said how much trouble I'm not afraid, as long as I can get back on good!
But the eight generations of ancestors showed bitter colors, and seemed to know that Xie Chengfeng was not easy to deal with. But at this time, the curtain behind him was suddenly lifted. Tan Lan's hooded and masked face was revealed from inside, Lin Tian saw him like this for the first time and froze slightly, we all looked at him, wondering what he wanted to do when he woke up from his coma.
But he slowly got down from the car, without any hesitation, he walked directly to me, because he couldn't speak, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, typed a line on it, and handed it to me.
I took it and looked at it, only to see that it said, I'll go get it back for you!
I froze slightly, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, and only asked him, Have you decided to join us?
He stumbled for a moment and didn't reply to me right away before finally gazing at me with his eyes behind the mask and nodding softly.
Although I felt that it was a good thing that Tan Lan had decided to join us, probably because he realized that we had the ability to fight against Xie Chengfeng. But we were going on an adventure, after all, and there would probably be a lot of times when we would need to fight for our lives, and Tan Lan was kind of an uncertainty amongst us, as we couldn't possibly trust this person completely.
But the eight generations of ancestors got out of the car and suddenly said, "Then we'll be in awe.
Tan Lan glanced at him and nodded silently.
I saw that the Eight Generation Ancestor seemed to have some plans in mind, so I didn't say anything else, and several people all got on the carriage one after another and ran towards my rental house.
On the way, Lin Tian told me that in order to prevent me from appearing, one of Ding Ding and the Hanged Ghost would always guard the fake Tan Xi, after all, in their hearts, I was the fake one.
When we reached the neighborhood of the rental house, the carriage stopped and Tan Lan silently got off and went. I looked towards the upstairs, see us there, the room's light is still on, I do not know what kind of scene it will be when he reappeared in front of Ding Ding and fake Tan Xi with this face now.
The only thing Xie Chengfeng knew about now was that the corpse puppets had been exterminated, and he didn't have the slightest idea about our whereabouts or Tan Lan's resolution. According to Tan Lan's idea, when he meets Xie Chengfeng, he will use the excuse that he escaped from my father's hands to first trick him out of the building, Xie Chengfeng can't possibly be oblivious to what happened today, he will definitely not keep Ting Ting and the Hanged Ghost by his side. In this way, we can first capture him alive. After finding out the Soul Recruiting Bell. Maybe we can also recognize his fake Tan Xi's identity.
We all shrank in the car anxiously waiting, not long after, as expected to see Tan Lan and Xie Chengfeng two people one after another from the building, Xie Chengfeng cursed under his breath, seems to be blaming Tan Lan unfavorable, from time to time to reach out on his head to slap him hard, Tan Lan just panicked to avoid a little, but do not dare to run away from him.
The two of them slowly walked towards us, I was even ready to jump out of the car. But where do I know, the two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks, Xie Chengfeng suddenly looked over towards where we parked and smiled grimly.
I took a look at their posture, heart said a bad, I did not expect Tan Lan to say one thing and do another, Xie Chengfeng out of the time, Tan Lan has definitely already told Xie Chengfeng about the situation we are hiding here, he has always been fearful of Xie Chengfeng, what he said to help me to get back the Soul Recruitment Bell words, just to have the opportunity to return to the side of Xie Chengfeng only!
But by the time I realized the situation, everything was already too late, I didn't even shout out a single word, the hellfire horse jumped up all of a sudden, and the carriages shook chaotically, making me unsteady in my seat. I couldn't see the situation outside the car, but I could hear a cacophony of sounds, as if something was approaching us. The eight generations of ancestors were similarly pale and said something bad!
I anxiously wanted to jump down from the car, but at this time, that damn parasitic grass seemed to have started up again, my hands and feet stiffened, my entire body could not move except for my head, and I was tightly stuck to the boards of the carriages. Lin Tian could see my abnormality, and tried to pull me up, but my body seemed to be glued to the boards, so I couldn't get up even if I tried.
The carriage's tremor lasted for about a minute, gradually subsided, I tilted my head towards the outside to look, only to find that all around the carriage, there are countless things like spider silk, sticky, a puddle of a puddle of falling on the ground around, and the entire carriage, are covered by a huge spider web in which the hellfire horse body is covered with spider silk everywhere, so that it can not move.
Immediately after that, I heard a sound of footsteps, moving quickly from the right side of the carriage, and then, a shriveled, blackened hand suddenly reached out from the upper right side of the carriage, lifting the curtain at once.
Lin Tian and I both looked at that place with bated breath, but where did we know that as soon as the curtain was lifted, a woman's head was suddenly revealed above it, and it was as if she was lying on the roof of the carriage, probing down to look at us, with an extraordinarily good-looking face. I can not help but pop up in my head the word spider spirit, but eight generations of ancestors took a look at her appearance, off the top of my head shouted a spider woman.
This spider woman heard called shouting, slowly moved her body down, a drop on the board in front of the carriage. I saw her whole body and couldn't help but do vomit in my heart. She almost had the body of a human being, but in the hair above her head, there were six eyes. There are four hands and four feet, all like worms crouching on the ground, except for the face, other places can not be seen at all.
She gazed at us without moving, as if she was looking at her fruitful prey. Through the cobwebs, I saw Xie Chengfeng and Tan Lan slowly approaching a bit, he let out a laugh and said Tan Xi, no matter how you run, I'm sure I'll be able to catch you, and I've also advised you that you'd better just obediently hide and don't come out to make trouble.
I looked at him through the cobwebs, really hated his teeth, just wanted to retort a couple of sentences, then suddenly saw Tan Lan standing behind him, slowly faded out from his wide sleeves a thin knife to, without hesitation, a stab in Xie Chengfeng's back!
As for myself, I didn't even have time to take a look at the expression on Xie Chengfeng's face, before I suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from my back, and the lapel of my body was instantly soaked with blood and chilled!
