Chapter 14 The Secret You Cannot Ask

I quickly burned a few more pieces of paper, thinking it would work this time, but the ending was exactly the same as before, the thing slipped away halfway through.

how so?

Suddenly, I had a bad premonition in my heart that if something went wrong, it would be a monster.

Next, things kept coming in, but the result was the same as before. They left immediately after arriving, and no one dared to sit down and take a bite.

I couldn't help but frown, and my brain started working rapidly.

Could it be that there is something in the house that scares them?

I first thought of Huzi, but then I quickly shook my head. No matter how fierce Huzi was, after all, he held the incense in his hand, and his purpose was very clear. There was no way that no one would dare to approach.

But since it’s not Huzi, then who is it?

I slowly scanned the room with my eyes, and there seemed to be nothing in the shop that would make the lonely ghosts afraid.

Unless, they are afraid of the living people in this room.

Thinking of this, my eyes subconsciously fell on Lin Wan and Long Shuiyao.

Could it be that the problem lies with them.

By the way, Long Shuiyao is wearing a bone talisman.

Just when I was thinking about whether to invite them out, I felt the temperature in the room drop suddenly, and the candle suddenly turned green.

Different from before, this time, it is actually dark green.

My heart tightened. The darker the color, the deeper the Taoism.

Thinking of this, I felt nervous and excited at the same time, and quickly looked outside.

Outside the door, a tall man dressed in black walked in slowly.

This man was very tall, at least two meters away.

He glanced inside the room, and then walked straight towards the table. He looked at his grandfather's memorial tablet and hesitated obviously. Then he sat down, grabbed a braised chicken and ate it in big mouthfuls.

I didn't dare to move at all, just staring at him.

Soon, he had finished a whole braised chicken, and he started to eat other things. The dishes on the table were quickly decreasing.

I couldn't help but look at Huzi on the bed. The bell on his finger didn't move at all.

How strange!

Before long, he had eaten all the dishes on the table.

"Pour the wine!"

A hoarse voice came from the man's mouth. I was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up and poured him a glass of wine.

As I got closer, I could clearly feel the cold aura emanating from the mountains, going straight into my bones.

I secretly suppressed the nervousness in my heart and glanced at him secretly. He lowered his head and didn't look at me, his whole face was hidden under the cloak.

I don’t know why, but I always feel something familiar. I can’t help but think of the dark figure I saw when I turned around and saw Lin Wan and I carrying the monument on the night of my grandfather’s funeral.

Although it was just a glance from a distance, I felt that the two were very similar. But I didn’t dare to ask, so I could only pour a full glass of wine."

Soon, the bottle of wine was drained, and the man stood up slowly, turned around and walked out.

"Wait a minute." I gritted my teeth and called him.

He stopped.

"I know what you want to ask. For the sake of the food and wine, let me give you a warning. Don't do such a stupid thing again. You are lucky. I am on duty today. Next time, you will not be so lucky.

Already."

After saying that, he stopped lingering and walked out. When he passed by Lin Wan and Long Shuiyao, he paused slightly.

"Hehe, interesting!"

He said something without beginning or end, and then walked out of the door without looking back.

As soon as his front feet left, Huzi on the bed let out a long breath, suddenly sat up from the bed, and then gasped violently, with a look of terror on his face.

I called Huzi and quickly cut the red rope short.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked nervously.

Huzi took several deep breaths and finally calmed down. Only then did I realize that his hair was soaked with cold sweat.

"How could this happen?" Huzi muttered to himself.

"Huzi, what did you see?" I asked quickly.

Huzi turned his head dully, looked at me closely, and said a word after a while.

"Master, don't ask me any more questions about this matter from now on."

I was stunned, why did he mean the same thing as the tall and skinny guy just now?

"Huzi, what on earth did you see? Why can't you tell me."

Huzi suddenly walked out of bed, then knelt down in front of his grandfather's memorial tablet with a thud, his tone full of pleading.

"Young Master, don't ask questions. I really can't say it, at least not now..."

I looked at Huzi blankly, and after a while, I nodded lightly.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't ask anymore. I'll wait for the day when you open your mouth."

I believe Huzi, since he chose not to tell, then I chose not to ask.

Because, I know, he is doing it for my own good.

But who was that weirdo just now?

He didn't take any paper money, nor did he offer any food or incense. He simply had a banquet. Obviously, he was neither short of money nor incense. Maybe he came in just because he wanted to eat a table of food, or maybe it was because of something else?

But I know that this person is not simple, very simple!

It seems that I did something stupid today.

Grandpa didn't come back and got into trouble.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at Lin Wan and Long Shuiyao. The two girls were obviously very frightened, and they stood tightly together. Long Shuiyao looked at me, with fear that had not disappeared in his eyes.

Lin Wan lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking about?

I looked at the time and it was already half past ten at night.

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down, put aside distracting thoughts and came to Long Shuiyao.

"Miss Long, let's go to your grandfather's grave."

"Now, okay!" Long Shuiyao stood up quickly.

Lin Wan still lowered her head, trembling a little.

"Are you okay? Let me take you home first?" I pulled Lin Wan guiltily.

"I, I'm fine!" Lin Wan raised her head and forced a smile.

"Your brother, is he okay?" I asked tentatively.

Lin Wan glanced at me with some disappointment, then shook her head with a tired expression. I sighed secretly, I guess her family is not very relaxed now.

After explaining to Huzi, Lin Wan and I got into Long Shuiyao's car together. After sending her home, we drove towards the cemetery of Long Shuiyao's family.

As for why she moved her grave, I don't have the heart to ask now. On the one hand, it's because so many things happened just now. On the other hand, I'm worried about her using the bone talisman and don't want to have too much interaction with her.

In short, I have made up my mind that by helping her move her grave, it will be considered as completing the task grandpa asked me to do, and we will no longer have any contact with her from now on.

Soon, we arrived at the Nanling Cemetery where Grandpa Long Shuiyao was buried.

This is a cemetery only for wealthy people. It has an excellent geographical location and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It has excellent feng shui.

The burial point of Grandpa Long Shuiyao is on the west side of the cemetery, occupying a large area by itself. I couldn't help but admire in my heart that rich people die with more dignity than ordinary people.

Under the moonlight, the vision is very clear.

But when I walked to the edge of the tomb, I suddenly felt a faint coldness. This coldness was very different from the Yin Qi. I felt a faint sting as soon as it came into contact with my skin.

I was suddenly shocked, this turned out to be evil spirit!

There is a evil spirit on the grave. This is something I didn't expect. It seems that Mr. Long's grave is not easy to move!

Turning on the strong light and flashlight, I started to look around, but after this look, my face gradually became more and more ugly. After I turned around, I was shocked.

Long Shuiyao suddenly became worried when she saw my ugly expression.

"Master Ninth, what happened to my grandfather's grave?"

I frowned tightly and my tone gradually became serious, "The vegetation is drying up, the graves are caved in, and the wind is making noise. This is a sign that the restless animals in the master's house will die."

"Ah, how could this happen?" Long Shuiyao was shocked.

"Master Ninth, you must help me, no matter what the cost." Long Shuiyao's tone was pleading.

"Don't worry, since I promised grandpa, I will help you solve it completely." I said calmly.

"Does this have anything to do with my use of bone talismans?" Long Shuiyao asked in a low voice.

I glanced at her lightly and said, "You are somewhat self-aware, but not entirely. Let me take a look."

As I said that, I squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, put it under my nose and smelled it. There was a faint fishy smell in the dirt. When I felt it carefully, the faint tingling feeling became even stronger.

"Sure enough, this evil spirit comes from below. It seems that the problem lies with your grandfather." I said in a solemn tone.

I shined my flashlight on the tombstone, and suddenly the photo on the tombstone caught my attention. After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but froze in place.

The person in the photo is an old man, and this old man is none other than the old man who always appears in my dreams.

Unexpectedly, he was Mrs. Long.

With such a heavy evil spirit, what happened to Mr. Long?

Don't be a zombie, right?

Thinking of my previous dreams, I couldn't help but frown. Although Mr. Long often appeared in my dreams covered in blood, if I looked closely, he was indeed a kind-hearted person.

According to my observation in the dream, Mr. Long has a faint aura of merit and virtue in his body. This kind of person must be a good person in life, and he will be blessed with luck to some extent, so he should not transform into a corpse, right?

But how to explain this evil spirit? In contrast, I choose to believe what I see. After all, the evil spirit here is too strong!

"Master Ninth, what's wrong?" Long Shuiyao couldn't help but ask when she saw me staring at his grandfather's photo in a daze.

I turned to look at her, hesitated for a moment and then said, "You have to be prepared for something. Your grandpa may very well lose his mind."

"Ah? How could this happen?" Long Shuiyao covered her mouth in shock.

"Master Ninth, you must save my grandpa, please." She grabbed my arm and begged in panic.

At this moment, she was as panicked as an ordinary girl.

I nodded, "It's not impossible to save your grandfather, but it requires you to pay some price. Are you willing?"

Long Shuiyao was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't know what he thought of. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded gently.

"Master Ninth, as long as I can save grandpa, I will do anything you ask me to do."

"Okay, you are always ready." I said.

"I understand, I know what to do." Long Shuiyao actually lowered his head and his voice became shy.
