Chapter 2 Mystery
At midnight, Ruan Zhan stood in front of Xiaoxia's hospital bed.
She will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so he can go about his own affairs with peace of mind.
Although he was far away during the day, every midnight, he would use the time and space distortion technique to come here and watch her sleep peacefully. He would stand there all night and only leave in the early morning, regardless of himself. In the case of unrecovered serious injuries, will it affect the body's recovery?
He stepped forward and gently touched Xiaoxia's cheek with his fingers, for fear of waking her up. Xiaoxia has an extremely sensitive constitution. Not only is it easy to provoke spirits, but she will also feel it keenly if someone or something approaches her, so he has to be especially careful.
He just guarded her silently, feeling that even if he died, it would be nothing more than this. At that time, he would still treat her like this. Although she would not know it, he would not regret it!
Let her forget the difficult and frightening but sweet and passionate time they spent in the empty city. He had to endure more pain than anyone else, but he had no choice. He believed in the words of his father and Sima Nan - he went through But it's the death disaster of 'three difficulties'. So he had to leave her because he couldn't give her a normal life, one year to live, and he had to investigate some secrets before he died.
He can't die in a daze! He cannot allow himself to live a boring life and die useless!
Before facing three difficulties, he had to understand three things - the relationship between his father, Sima Nan and him; his own life experience; and his father's death.
Sima Nan only said three simple words before leaving, focusing on his three questions. He said: Night Wind Ring, Yin and Yang poles, and, are you sure he is dead?
Each of these three sentences shocked Ruan Zhan, because each sentence was somewhat related to what he knew, but each sentence was not the answer!
He came to Xiaoxia to protect her at night, but during the day he had returned to his hometown and started some investigations.
No one had lived in the old house for a long time. Walking inside, he searched carefully, but except for childhood memories, he found nothing. And recalling the past, he felt mixed emotions.
I still remember that when he was sent to his father for the first time, his father's eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, filled with joy and resistance. His father raised him, but never gave him any warmth between father and son; he taught him all kinds of knowledge without hiding anything, but he didn't care whether he practiced or understood it; his father protected him, but allowed the world to treat him. He inflicts prejudice and harm.
He just longed for a little love, but his father never gave it to him. In other words, his father gave it to him, but he was still young at the time and was not able to understand and understand it. He only knew that his father was very cold to him and did not communicate spiritually. The father and son lived under the same roof, but sometimes they did not speak a word for several days, as if they were two ghosts.
But one time he became very ill, so feverish that he felt like he was going to die, but in fact he was very happy that he was going to die. But at this moment, his father suddenly sat at the head of his bed and performed many little spells on him to make him happy. Although it was only once, it was something he would never forget.
Whether his father hated him, loved him, or ignored him completely, he still can't understand. Even his father's death was so mysterious, sudden, and incomprehensible like a mystery!
I don’t know if people with special powers like him are naturally very smart. Not only can he learn the spells and spells that his father asked him to memorize, but he can also forget them even if he wants to, even in terms of learning. Therefore, he did not study very hard, but his grades were quite good, and his father sent him to a key middle school in the provincial capital to study.
At that time, he felt that his father was particularly disgusted with him and sent him away on purpose, so he left angrily and lived in the school, never coming home on holidays, and his father ignored him, as if they were cut off from each other. Until one day, he had a hallucination in broad daylight and saw his father running to the classroom window to see him, holding his favorite egg yolk cake in his hand. Actually, she even smiled at him!
That cake was specially made by my father. It was baked with egg yolk and a kind of herbal medicine, plus flour and seasonings. He loved it very much.
At that time, his tears suddenly fell down, because with his natural yin and yang eyes, he saw a bluish white light behind his father, which meant that his father was dead. It's just that the old man was a strange person during his lifetime, so after his death, he could still show hallucinations to his son during the day.
It was then that he realized that he felt that he didn't care about his father, and had developed a cold, distant, stubborn character over the years, but in fact his father was the person he cared about most. When he learned of his sudden death, he realized that he had strong feelings of love and hate for his father, because his father was the first person who did not discriminate against him and gave him a family, but he was also the only one who refused to give him anything. People who reciprocate feelings. Even if the world hates, hates and fears him, his father has never shown it. Even if he thinks his father hates him, it is just his imagination.
But when he saw his father's phantom, he suddenly thought that his father loved him a little bit! Otherwise, why would he bake so many egg yolk cakes for him when he went there? !
Amidst the teacher's angry scolding and the confused looks of his classmates, he left the school without saying a word and went straight to his home. When he arrived home, the door was open. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his father sitting peacefully on the chair in front of the main room, 'closing his eyes and relaxing', with his face as rosy as usual, as if he was waiting for him to come home for dinner.
At that moment, he deeply realized what home is? Home is not a house, it is not food, it is not someone to take care of you and accompany you. The meaning of home is only that there is someone who will always wait for you to come back. Although his father treated him so indifferently, he was his home! Without his father, he no longer has a home!
He walked into the house in tears, confirming that his father was indeed dead, and stopped all vital signs. But in a daze, he noticed that his father's eyelids moved, as if he was peeking at him with slightly narrowed eyes. He was startled and immediately looked at his father's eyelids, and was shocked to find that his father's eyes were red!
The blood-red eyes have no black eyes, whites or pupils. It seems that there is a thick layer of blood completely covering the eyeballs! And when he saw his father's **** eyes, he fell into an illusion.
In a room full of red, a figure appeared, wearing an old-fashioned robe worn by characters in movies, with the front open and blood dripping on his chest. It turned out that the spell was carved into the flesh. The man walked up to his father and seemed to hand him something. Then he sighed, turned around and left again!
But that thing is invisible, and people can’t even see what it is! Moreover, this hallucination gave him a strange feeling - his father's eyes were separated from his body and he was looking at the image from another angle, as if he knew that this moment was coming and hoped that his son could also see it.
Afterwards, my father put the invisible thing in his arms, walked to the kitchen and baked a lot of egg yolk cakes for him. Then he started to wash up and get dressed, sat calmly on the chair, and closed his eyes forever. .
The hallucination ended, and the image in front of him suddenly turned completely red, which made him unsteady and almost vomited, and he accidentally fell on his father's body.
At this time, my father's complexion suddenly turned gray, as if he had been dead for several days. There were patches of corpse on his exposed skin, and his body was very flat. Even if he untied his father's clothes and groped carefully The same goes for his skin, there is nothing on him at all. And when he tied his father's clothes again and lay on him again, he heard a frightened scream coming from the door.
It's a neighbor! He probably hadn't seen his father out for a long time, so he came to take a look, and happened to see the old man's weird and terrifying son kneeling on the ground, holding the old man's body!
The neighbor screamed and looked for someone, but he still knelt on the ground motionless, tears streaming down his face. How ridiculous, the first and only time he hugged his father, but he could only hug his father's cold and stiff body!
The neighbors are here, and so are the police! People began to speculate that the old man who died without any warning was probably killed by his son! Because that kid was a freak, because he scared everyone, because he treated his father's death very coldly, and because when people saw him, he had no tears left to shed!
However, although he did not agree with the autopsy of his father's body, the forensic doctor could also judge from the superficial physical signs that the old man had been dead for several days. The death was peaceful and it could be generally judged that it was a normal death. His teachers and classmates at school also It can be proved that he did not have time to commit the crime, so he can still handle his father's funeral affairs as a filial son. And this funeral made him understand that his father is very loved by people. People will never forget that he helped everyone ward off evil spirits and avoid evil, they will never forget the sound of his shoes "kick-tapping-tapping" in the middle of the night, and they will never forget that it was his presence that protected them. Peace on one side, even though he never did anything on the surface!
But why did it take several days for his father to give him the news? It stands to reason that since he has superpowers, he should be able to feel it, but why doesn't he feel it? Could it be that his father was making some arrangements to disable his powers and deliberately not notify him until a few days later?
Also, who is the person in the red hallucination? Why is it as if the line of sight is blocked and only that person's body is visible? Does the father want to expose that person or protect that person? What did he give his father and why couldn't he find it?
This is like a riddle left by his father, with only the riddle but no answer!
For more than ten years, he has returned to his hometown every year on the third day of the year and his father's memorial day, enduring the doubtful and alienated looks of his fellow villagers for a few days. Because he has always had questions about his father's death, but has never been able to find out, he expects to have new hallucinations and to make new discoveries when turning over the things he has checked countless times.
Or, deep down in his heart, he expected that one day when he returned to his old house, he would see his father still sitting on the chair in the main room, waiting for him. Although he knew it was impossible, he really hoped that all these years were just A dream, how wonderful that would be!
Ye Feng Huan, Yin and Yang poles, and, are you sure he is dead?
Sima Nan’s words make everything more complicated. Is there any secret in it?
It was already past midnight, which was the beginning of a new day, and judging from Xiaoxia's breathing, she was fine, so he decided to dig his father's grave, even though it was very rebellious. , but he wanted to make sure his father was still sleeping underground!
He was sure before because he saw his father buried with his own eyes, but now, he is a little unsure!
Getting closer, Ruan Zhan leaned down and looked at Xiaoxia's face lovingly.
You must be well, so that even if I die, I can walk with peace of mind, surround you with peace of mind, and feel your happiness with peace of mind!
He said to her silently in his heart and wanted to kiss her, but he didn't kiss her after all. He just turned around suddenly, drew the talisman and left!
In just a blink of an eye, he returned to his old house in his hometown, picked up the shovel and other tools he had prepared, and went to the cemetery on the hill.
When he lifted his feet, he staggered and choked. That's because he has used time and space distortion too frequently recently and has lost his strength, but this does not affect his actions tonight.
The hill behind this hill has been a place where locals have buried their ancestors for generations. Although cremations are now carried out and cemeteries have been built in other places, the hill has not been developed yet, so the previous graves have not been used. Move away. It's just that because of its age, the cemetery looks messy.
When Ruan Zhan went up the mountain, it was just after two o'clock in the morning. He saw several ghost bodies following him furtively. Although they did not mean to harm anyone, they obviously wanted to cause trouble and scare people.
He paid no attention to it. When a light white figure, who could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, approached him, he pointed with his backhand, and a stream of fiery red energy shot out, frightening those who were watching and wanted to see. The lively 'good brothers' all retreated to their own places, knowing that this man was not to be messed with, except for a few bold ones who were still peeping at him.
He pretended not to see it and went straight to his father's grave.
However, when he was about to dig the grave, he was stunned!
The tomb has not changed much. Since it is repaired every year, it is newer and very neat than other tombs. However, there was something wrong with the soil. Although it was not obvious, with Ruan Zhan's eyesight, he could definitely see that the tomb had been disturbed!
Who moved his father's grave first?
Ruan Zhan was shocked and stood there without moving, feeling the atmosphere around him. The surrounding area was filled with the unique Yin Qi of the cemetery, but there was nothing unusual about it. Looking back at the peeping guys, they immediately hid as soon as he glanced over. Apparently they didn't know anything, but were more curious about him. This means that he is the only one who does the job of digging graves!
So, why is the soil on the grave new? ! Why do you seem to have tried so hard to hide it? !
No matter what, Ruan Zhan turned around and started digging. While digging, he was alert to the situation around him, but he felt nothing except the anger of other spirits.
It is extremely unethical to dig someone's grave, not to mention that as a son, he dug my grave, so he could understand the anger, but he had to do it!
Because it was new soil, it took much less effort for him to dig, and soon he saw his father's coffin. He jumped down into the pit and found that the coffin was still well sealed and the surrounding wood was not broken. It had obviously not been opened. This made him hesitate to continue, but in the end he made up his mind and pried open the coffin lid!
Squeak--
As the coffin made a harsh sound, the sky that had been dark for a long time suddenly exploded with a thunder, scaring away all the spirits peeking around the pit. At the same time, lightning also illuminated the inside of the coffin.
The coffin was empty, his father’s body was missing!
