C16 (1/2)
At the same time, my mind flashed with what Ah Xue had told me today. She had also seen her own father take in the incense.
A chill spread from my feet to the rest of my body, and I couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, Ah Xue's father raised her head and looked at the space in front of him. Then, he carefully moved closer to the portrait.
From the side, I could only see that his lips were moving nonstop. The muscles on his face were also trembling slightly. His face still had a layer of black air on it. It looked even worse than the day before.
However, he did not seem to care at all. He continued to mutter as his speech got faster and faster. His eyes were staring at his own portrait from start to finish, as if he was talking to himself or talking to his own portrait.
Looking at the scene before me, my heart chilled. After living for over twenty years, only a ghost story would be able to create such a strange scene.
I took a deep breath. I had already forgotten how long I stood at the entrance when I suddenly thought of something, and looked carefully towards the ground. Although there were only a few candles lit in the room, they were still clearly able to light up the ground.
Although I had long guessed that Ah Xue's father wasn't a human, I still couldn't help but tremble when this fact was brought out in front of my eyes.
At the same time, she was even more confused. Ah Xue's father had clearly said on the phone that her grandmother was terminally ill. Why did he suddenly die, while Ah Xue's grandmother …
Just as I was about to walk over and ask what was going on, someone suddenly patted my shoulder. I wasn't prepared for it at all, and there was such a strange scene playing out in front of me, so I was scared stiff for a moment. I subconsciously turned my head away, but the moment I turned my head, I clearly saw the Fate Lantern on my shoulder go out.
I was suddenly shocked in my heart. One must know that a living person only has three life lamps, which represent the soul of the heavens, the soul of the earth, and the Fate Soul. If the Fate Lantern is extinguished, it will weaken the Yang energy in the body and make it easy for the evil spirits to take advantage of it.
But when I saw who was standing behind me, I realized that my bad luck had only just begun.
Her face was ashen white, but it wasn't because her body wasn't well, it was because she was angry. I could feel the anger in the old lady's heart, she was blaming me for spying on Ah Xue's father, who was smoking a candle. It was obvious that she knew what was going on.
I wanted to ask her, because in my mind, Ah Xue's grandmother was a kind and kind old man. She treated me like a half grandson, but I swallowed my words back.
Because I clearly saw that Grandmother Ah Xue was currently dressed in grey. Before, I didn't even see the shape of the clothes, but now that I looked carefully, I was shocked to find that it was actually a longevity garment.
What was even more horrifying was that even Ah Xue's grandmother didn't have a shadow. Not only that, her legs were still floating in the air behind me.
