Chapter 111.

I also don't understand why this mirror spirit appeared in this place, I remember what I saw in the mirror at that time, after my grandmother died, this thing escaped and my grandfather ran after it in annoyance, but I don't know what happened after that.

The monster, first of all, stuck out a head from behind the tombstone. I myself do not know whether to say that part is the head, because it is almost the same length of the whole body, as if a soft body of a large insect, the whole body is the arms as if the centipede's legs, and everywhere full of five senses, it is almost impossible to distinguish where the head and where the tail is.

Ding Ding took a look at its appearance, and immediately cursed, saying damn, why is this thing so ugly.

I said, "This is a blood clotting coffin, there are dozens of women's blood in the coffin!

Ding Ding looked at me suspiciously and said how do you know.

I wanted to properly explain to him, but where is that time at the moment. 那怪物伸展着手臂，立马就朝我们爬了过来，行走的时候噗通噗通的响，一下就拉近了不少距离。

Ding Ding scurried to the side of Lin Jing's grave, grabbed the shovel he had just used to pry the coffin and threw it directly to me, and looked at the Mirror Spirit as if he was ready to fight it to the death.

He stood in front of me and Lin Tian, rushed to that mirror spirit cursed, said you fucking think you are a ghost car rushing over can eat us ah! No mirror you arrogant hair!

But that mirror spirit to Ding Ding's cursing voice simply ignore, speed unexpectedly also accelerated a lot. Ding Ding shouted at me, saying Tan Xi, you go around and outflank it from behind!

I "oh" a sound, and quickly climbed from a grave, want to turn around to the back of the mirror spirit, but I did not expect that I just moved, that thing immediately turned in the direction, chasing me over.

Ding Ding was busy and shouted again, saying it's okay, Tan Xi you wait for it in front, I'll break the back!

I immediately stopped my body, both hands tightly gripping the shovel, and I don't know whose grave I'm standing on now, just waiting for that ghostly thing to come over.

Its crawling action is very difficult, good in front of me blocked a tombstone, its arm just grabbed on it, I immediately a shovel towards it shot over, "bang" sound, the arm was smashed by me at once deflated, a stream of blood sprayed out, splashed me head and face, the smell choked me dizzy!

But this also stimulated the mirror spirit, it violently raised its body, seven or eight hands together to grab the tombstone, gesture to climb over.

At this time, Ding Ding around to his back, hands are not idle, waved his hand will be smashed towards it, but this thing before and after the same, everywhere long eyes, this is not a sneak attack, coupled with the fact that I have previously moved, this guy seems to have prepared, Ding Ding's shovel just smashed down, it was caught by the hands of the horizontal and vertical. He and the Mirror Spirit dragged and pulled, as if in a tug of war, I was busy shouting towards Lin Tian, asking him to come over to help, but Lin Tian obviously hadn't practiced to the extent that I had, and apart from gawking from the sidelines, he simply didn't have the guts to rush over.

I saw that the situation was not good, this mirror spirit's size is bigger than both Ding Ding and I combined, relying on physical combat alone, I guess there is no chance of winning. Just as I thought of this, Ding Ding's shovel was yanked out of the room and smashed into a tombstone on the side.

The Mirror Spirit was no longer bound, its huge body shook, and immediately slid down from the tombstone, and before I could dodge, I was directly hit by it, and planted my head on the ground.

Only then did Lin Tian get anxious, shouting at me, picking up the shovel on the side in his hand, and rushing over towards the mirror spirit.

But just at this time, we suddenly heard a long hissing sound of a horse, coming from the end of the mausoleum. All the people present were stunned, is the mirror spirit is also dumbfounded, I glanced in that direction, just so a few seconds, the darkness, suddenly flashed a gap of fire, resounded a stomping sound of footsteps.

The sound appeared to be very disorganized, but each stomp was very powerful, and I could only see that in the distant darkness, the piece of fire light rushed towards us, and immediately after, I heard Tintin shout in surprise, saying that it was a Hellfire Horse!

As expected, the figure gradually approached, and it was indeed in the shape of a horse, which was black all around, but with a wisp of flame burning from all four hooves of its eyes, and as if there were only bones on its body, and the bones were all black!

It came with a car, as if it were the carriage in which that ancient great official sat in the movie, and rumbled over to my side. I was so shocked by the sight before me that I couldn't speak, it was as if the carriage had no substance, it went through the graveyard and barely touched anything.

Almost just a breath, that carriage came in front of us, the fire horse gave a long neigh, the two front raises were high, towards the mirror spirit is a step, poof, will be the mirror spirit stepped on the ground, no matter how it struggles, can not be freed from under the hoofs of the horse.

I hurriedly climbed up from the ground, I saw that the curtain on the carriage lifted, a man wearing a black cloak jumped down from the car, he used a hood to cover his face, so that we could not distinguish who was out of the people.

Moreover, in his hand, he was holding an octagonal mirror with all sorts of bizarre symbols drawn on it, he raised his hand and slapped this mirror towards the mirror spirit, and I immediately heard a whimpering sound. Immediately after that, the huge body of the mirror spirit shook, as if smoke, bit by bit was sucked into the mirror.

We stood by and watched, and when the mirror spirit completely disappeared, I came back to my senses and asked suspiciously towards the man, saying who are you!

He looked up and glanced at me from under his hood, suddenly walked over, reached out and grabbed me by the lapels of my coat, tugging me towards the carriage.

I was shocked and subconsciously tried to break free. But I don't know why, being dragged by him, my whole body seemed to have no strength, I was like a puppet, the feeling that I had to go when he told me to go.

Lin Tian was busy charging towards me, but the fire horse picked up at once, neighing and blocking between us. Raising the shovel in his hand, he pointed at the man and shouted, You let go of him! What are you trying to do!

The man stopped, looked towards Lin Tian for a moment, and suddenly said, It has nothing to do with you.

Listen to this voice, under the cloak is a man, he spoke in a very thick tone, through a sense of vicissitude to. But I am sure I have not heard this voice. That is to say, this person I do not recognize.

However, compared to my ignorance, when he heard these words, Ding Ding's reaction was much greater than mine and Lin Tian's, he froze for a moment and suddenly walked in two steps, out of breath, looking at the man under this cloak, his eyes full of astonishment.

I see him this reaction is very strange, just want to open his mouth to ask a question, I heard him say to this man, you are not …… is my father right ……

I heard this, immediately also froze, busy towards the face under the cloak looked, through the light on the fire horse, this is to see a slightly old face, long a lot of messy beard, just look at this outline, I can distinguish, this person is when is in the old home on the wasteland, I sat in a cab to see the man, that is, I have always been suspected of, ding ding has died father!

I never imagined that this man would appear before us in this way. Even after Tintin had denied that his father was alive, I didn't even know for a moment what to make of this man's presence.

He glanced at Tintin in silence but didn't say anything, just gave me a strong pull and tugged me towards the carriage.

I couldn't tell you what expression was on Tintin's face, I only felt that he was having extraordinarily mixed emotions right now, and seemed to want to catch up. But again, he was blocked aside by the fire horse.

I was dragged to the carriage by this man, and as soon as I sat down, the fire horse let out a neigh and dragged us away. And it was so fast that it could almost be compared to a ghost carriage.

I glanced towards the back and saw Ding Ding chasing after us, he ran with all his might towards this side, but in the end, he could only watch in despair as we disappeared.

The carriage's carriage wasn't as big as I believed it to be, just enough for four people to sit on both sides. The decorations inside were also very antique, giving off a sense of the bleakness of the times.

The man sat across from me, his hood off and his eyes unblinking, making me feel very nervous.

I slightly averted my gaze sideways, trying to extricate myself from the atmosphere, constantly organizing my words in my head, but not knowing what I should say first.

But at this time, the man spoke, he looked at me and said, Tan Xi, what are you going to do?

I froze for a moment, saying what to do?

He slightly narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the thoughts in my head, paused for a moment, before saying, of course, is to ask what you plan to do in the future? Do you want to live the same kind of ordinary life before, or continue to solve the mystery you want to know?

I heard this, can not help but sneer, this said as if it is I hope that I am involved in these things. Who does not want to want to be able to live well, even if my previous days were to live a little bit of hardship, but it is also better than every day to be worried at any time to worry about their own death.

I looked at him, said, you think I have a choice myself?

He said solemnly, I used to have it, you all had it before you went to Jiu Ye, and I stopped you on the train. Although that chance is now ruined, I will do my best to create one for you if you want it.

I couldn't help but promote my eyebrows, remembering what happened at the train station, there was indeed a child who had sent me a note at that time, and from the description, there was no doubt that it was this person. That means that the shadowy man blocking the train at that time was also this person's trick? Moreover, I never saw the opportunity that he said in his mouth, from the very beginning, I was jumping from one pit to another, especially after figuring out what happened to Lin Tian, I felt even more that we had lived for more than twenty years, all of which were just spinning around in other people's schemes.

I sneered a little louder, straight said, I don't understand, why do you want to come to help me, your wife Mrs. Nine's whereabouts are unknown now, even Ding Ding is standing in front of you, you don't care about it, I'm a stranger's matter, do you need to intervene?

His eyebrows clustered, the wrinkles of his face screwed up, his expression changed again and again, and finally suddenly said a word that surprised me to the extreme.

He said, Tan Xi, you are right, I can not care about other people's matters, but about you, how can I let it go, I am Tan Sulong! You are the one who is my son!

Chapter 112: The Past

I looked at his wrinkled face, his cloudy eyes slightly reddened, his emotions seemed to be a bit agitated, but after that one sentence was said, it was as if he regretted it, looked at me for a while, then hesitantly turned his head away, both his hands gripping his pants tightly and clenching his fists.

I also half a day did not say a word, the face of surprise can be imagined. Finally only swallowed and asked, Dao, what did you just …… say ……

Even if just now that words, every word I heard clearly, but I still hard to believe.

Although I was still young when my father left, and even now I can no longer recall his appearance, but it definitely will not be the appearance of this person in front of me. Moreover, Xia Ruxuan also said that my father's body was lying in a coffin underneath the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, so if it wasn't confirmed to be him, then it couldn't possibly be in the coffin.

That's why I was certain that my father had already passed away many years ago, and even if he was still alive, according to his age, he should only be in his forties or fifties or less, and shouldn't be as old as this person in front of me.

But his words, still like a sledgehammer, knocked hard on my heart. Again, it made the idea that I had managed to build up falter.

He did not utter a word in reply to me, but only bowed his head and panted in a deep voice. I waited a long time before he finally unclenched his clenched fists and slowly flattened them in his lap. Sighed a long sigh. Say you …… are my son, it s just that there are too many twists and turns in here that you wouldn t want to know ……

I slightly narrowed my eyes, vigilant look at him, said you called Tan Sulong, that Xie family shrine coffin lying, shouldn t you be the body of!

I originally felt that this will be the biggest evidence to overturn his words, but I did not expect, he paused for a moment, but said, Xie family ancestral temple, lying in the body is also me ……

As soon as I heard this, I immediately tensed up, could it be that this person in front of me, is actually also a ghost like Lu Yao not.

The first time we discovered the existence of this person, was at that time in the old family attic above, although did not see him with their own eyes, but from the foot prints on the ground to see, can indeed is he right.

After that, when Lin Tian's father wanted to kill me, it should also be the appearance of this person to scare him away. By the third time, it was in the train station, when we were warned not to go to Jiu Ye.

From these several encounters, it seems that this person shouldn't have any malicious intent towards us, and even tonight, he even helped us deal with the Mirror Spirit. But it was because of the Mirror Spirit, at that time, the way he collected the Mirror Spirit was similar to the way Ding Ding did his hands to exorcise the ghost, could it be that ghosts are also capable of exorcising ghosts?

When I thought of this, I stood up with a brush, but I forgot that I was now in the carriage, and my head hit the roof of the carriage with a bang, causing me to black out.

He was busy toward me closer, reaching out to see how I was doing. But I subconsciously avoided it. His hand lifted in the air, froze for so many seconds, and awkwardly retracted.

I endured the feeling of pain on my head and looked at him carefully on one side, while asking, Are you a human or a ghost?

He gazed at me intently, again sighed softly, shook his head and said, I don't know what I am now, I died once many years ago. The body was sent to the Xie Family Shrine by your mom, and I ended up living on this body, whatever you want to think of me as, whatever.

When I heard this, a thought suddenly crossed my mind, although I had never seen it before, I had heard Ding mention it once before, when I was possessed by the remnants of a headless female ghost, Ding said that the guy wanted to borrow the body to return to his soul!

I inexplicably spat out these four words, who knows that when this man heard that, he even directly nodded and said Have you guessed it already? Not bad, I was relying on this body to live, but I did not intend to do it, just a heart, a moment of dizziness ……

I carefully looked at this body of his, his hair is very long and messy, all draped around, as if it has not been washed for a long time. And his arm, there are a lot of scars, some seem to have been a long time, but some, not completely healed, as if he these years, the days are not very good.

I rationalized my thoughts, thought for a moment and said, then this body, is still really Tintin's father?

He nodded, and sighed, said, I am sorry for his father, so just now, also do not know how to face that child ……

I laughed to myself, said you just think you have the face to face me?

He swallowed a mouthful of spit, two hands in front of his body constantly rubbing, pursed lips, which said, I know that all these years to leave you behind, you must also hate me in your heart, but to be honest, Xiaoxi …… I can call you Xiaoxi, right? I have used the longest time to stay by your side, just my appearance, it has been impossible to return to the previous kind of life, at best, can only look at you from afar, even if you don't know good, but I have to satisfy some of my heart.

My heart is still not the taste, more or less a trace of sadness, but perhaps because I have not put him in my father that position, this point of sadness, although let me some low, but not so much as to affect my emotions.

A long time ago, when all this has not yet happened, I actually also like many single-parent children, to my father, the feelings in my heart, from the earliest love, slowly faded, and finally because of his abandonment of such an excuse, instead of hate. But after a long time in the world, you will feel that, for such a person who abandoned his wife and children, even hate him is superfluous. You will think that there is no need for you to waste your feelings and the world on him.

But as these things happen, when I slowly understand the unknown scene behind my parents, when I saw his body in the coffin of Xie's ancestral temple, I just feel that, at that time, my mother clearly know that all these things happened, but still did not say a word about it to me, in fact, the person who feels the most difficult should be her right.

And in the face of his corpse, my heart really can't stir up the slightest hatred, just think, no matter what reason he needs to leave me and my mom, but ultimately not like what my brother-in-law said as heartless and shallow.

But when at this moment, he reappeared in front of me, telling me all of this with someone else's looks, it was as if I was listening to a story, my emotions would rise and fall with the story, slightly excited or sad, but always like a person watching a play, unable to really project myself into it.

I took a deep breath before slowly asking, you have been hiding for so many years, what are you running out to do now, my mom is also gone, you don't think you can make me call you dad by coming out to help us now ……

His gaze slightly sunk, seems to be some sadness, I only pretend to be invisible, and then heard him say, you want to call me whatever you want, I'm this look, by you called dad himself feel awkward ……

Said, he laughed awkwardly, lifted up the limp leg, in front of me gently stomped, seems to be also for himself this appearance some shame.

I think it is, according to Ding Ding's statement, his father is not a capable person, coupled with the body and disability, my father even if he relies on his body to borrow the body over, an age is also big, the second action is also inconvenient, all these years alone in the outside world, suffering is certainly also inevitable.

But when I think of Ding Ding, I am puzzled, Ding Ding said his father's death is because of Mrs. Nine exorcism of ghosts of an accident, and at that time Ding Ding was just born not too long, my father if he borrowed his body to return to the soul. That is not to say, when he died, I was only one or two years old, then after a few years, stayed at home with me being called my father's man, and who is it? Can it be that like what I thought at the Xie Family Shrine at that time, I really have two dads?

I was busy asking him, said you before, when did you die?

He looked at me with surprise, as if he didn't expect me to ask this thing, thought for a while, before saying, about when you were ten years old. I left you a year later.

I listened to feel even more outrageous, I was ten years old, Ding Ding his father is estimated to have rotted beyond recognition, it is impossible that he knew that one day will be used Ding Ding's father's body, so have long been prepared?

I looked at him doubtfully, I don't know whether it's because I know too little, or in the middle, there are too many unknown things, even Ding Ding is also kept in the dark.

I slightly consider for a moment, busy probing asked, you are not right, according to you, Ding Ding's father has been dead for an unknown number of years, where do you have the opportunity to borrow the body to return to the soul.

He raised his head and looked at me, slightly pondered, said, you heard this, is Yu Fangtong told you, right?

I didn't react for a moment to who Yu Fangtong was, and after thinking for a while I realized that it was the name of Mrs. Nine, and busily shook my head and said No, everyone knows that Tintin's father died not long after he was born, and when Tintin was small, he even watched his father's soul come back, I don't believe in other people, but there is no reason for Tintin to lie to me.

He licked his dry lips and said I just told you, there are too many twists and turns in this, and not much of what your generation knows is true. That child called Ding Ding, what he said is also not false, only that the things he knows are all falsehoods created by Yu Fangtong.

I froze and asked what that meant.

He rubbed his hands together again, and seemed to be considering whether to tell me what happened at that time. I didn't want to force him, I was afraid that if I pushed him, I wouldn't know anything in the end.

He hesitated for a while and sighed again, in this short period of time, I can't remember how many times he sighed, as if as long as these things were involved, he immediately looked helpless.

He looked at me, consider for a long time, this slowly said, at that time, Lao Zheng he …… Lao Zheng is Ding Ding his father, we are so called him, at that time, Lao Zheng he really did not die, just he promised to help me do something, although Yu Fangtong is not so agree, but in the end, also acquiesced, so to create that false impression. Old Zheng he faked a death, people at that time the idea is relatively simple, and on the ghosts and gods to fear some, we all know what kind of person Yu Fangtong, old Zheng was killed by a ghost of the news out, we all believe in the truth, no one to explore. It's just that the mother and son have suffered a bit.

I still do not understand, said, if the fake death, how could Ding Ding see his father's ghost back?

My dad shook his head, hand rubbing more frequently up, said, at that time to see that is not the old Zheng's ghost, but Ding Ding that child, gradually grew up, Yu Fangtong gradually found that he was born some signs, and afraid of her son is not also as long as she has a pair of eyes of yin and yang, coincidentally, that break in time, just about to be the Ghost Festival, so she and your mother discussed, ready to try to find out.

He said, looked up at me, said, you probably only heard Ding Ding that child mentioned that he saw his father when he was a child, right, but then the ghost festival certainly not seen.

I nodded, signaling him to continue.

He took a deep breath and said, "The purpose of them doing this is to see if Ding Ding's child also has yin and yang eyes, although it would not have been necessary to go through so much trouble because Yu Fangtong would have been able to confirm it with a random ghost. But she that is also love child heart, afraid to scare that child, so consider a long time, only to feel that with the old Zheng look, she is much more assured. Then, your mother, arranged a can be human or ghostly ghost, pretend to be old Zheng's appearance, ghost festival day to go. Later things, you also know, just we did not expect Yu Fangtong on this matter care to that extent, eyes are really crying blind ……

I was slightly surprised, offhandedly asked him, that can be human or ghostly ghosts and monsters are?

His face sank, said, is the painted skin ah!
