I Have a Diary

"As for the rest, I can't guarantee it."

Chapter 170 Four Seventieth Birthday

Chu Jiang's words gave Fifth Aunt Tai a glimmer of hope.

She nodded again and again, "Then I won't bother Mr. Chu. Besides, if Mr. Chu needs anything, he can come to me anytime these two days. I'm willing to do anything."

After Xu Lan finished speaking, she also left a handkerchief embroidered by herself, saying that she could use it to communicate with each other.

But Chu Jiang strongly refused.

After finally sending this woman, oh no, the female ghost away, Chu Jiang lay back on the bed helplessly.

Trouble, before this incense theory has been confirmed, some people in the game have come to their senses and started asking him for help.

The only thing Chu Jiang can do now is to see the old man as soon as possible.

......

In the next two days, Chu Jiang lived in seclusion. He rejected all the invitations from the young masters and ladies of the Lin family, and just stayed in his room, waiting patiently for the grandpa's birthday banquet.

Lin Mohua originally wanted to drag Chu Jiang out to relax, but in the end he couldn't pull him away, so he could only sit in his room from time to time.

She chatted with Chu Jiang about life, about ink painting, about outside experiences and knowledge, in short, she looked like she was relying on Chu Jiang.

Of course, Chu Jiang is also very clear that this is not love at first sight in essence, Lin Mohua is more like finding someone who can fill the emptiness in his heart.

If Chu Jiang was a woman, Lin Mohua would also be keen to come and talk to him.

During these two days and nights, the fifth aunt also sneaked in once or twice. She was even naked and put on the new underwear from the west, trying to seduce him, but in the end she was scared away by Chu Jiang's threats and shouts.

In this torment, the third day finally came. The old man of the Lin family had his [-]th birthday, and the mansion gradually became lively.

......

Chu Jiang originally thought that, given the situation in Lin's mansion, the birthday banquet should be held during the day.

But unexpectedly, it was arranged until the evening, or late at night.And the location is also in the open-air garden of the Lin Mansion, not outside the Lin Mansion.

When Chu Jiang accompanied Lin Mohua to the garden, thirty or forty tables of banquets were set up here, all of which were big mahogany tables; red lanterns were hung everywhere, decorated with lanterns and festoons, making it a festive scene.

There were also quite a lot of guests, and most of the famous people from the local area and even the provincial capital came, such as warlords with heavy troops in their hands, chiefs of the military certification office, and chiefs of the police department.

Some other gangsters also gave the old man a lot of face. The gang leader, the boss of the boat gang, and the wealthy businessmen all brought birthday gifts.

In the end, there were some people with gloomy temperament who were obviously ghost masters, and they also filled several tables.

Of course, after Chu Jiang took a few glances and found that these people were all numb "dummy", he didn't care much about them.

Lin Mohua was obviously not interested in these guests, so he just dragged Chu Jiang to sit down at the table of the Lin family.

Tonight's Lin Mansion is a bit special, Chu Jiang didn't notice anything weird, it seems that this place has become safe, and it is no longer the previous state where evil spirits are hidden everywhere.

Moreover, at the banquet, there were also many servants and maidservants coming and going. Obviously, this time was not the time for them to be grounded.

This time the Fifth Young Master was sitting on the left hand side of Chu Jiang, and he asked curiously, "Brother Chu, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the atmosphere in the mansion is different from the previous nights; I also want to see when the old man will come out."

Lin Xinghe smiled, "The old man will come out later, and the banquet will officially start after he comes out."

"As for the atmosphere, it's normal, and you'll understand later." He even made a small pass.

Looking at this shy young man, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something.

The last characters of the names of the five brothers of the Lin family are: Tian, ​​Feng, Yu, Shun, and He.

Is this order wrong? If we arrange according to [heaven and weather are smooth, land and grains are plentiful, people and all businesses are prosperous, family and everything are prosperous], the word "harmony" should be the second child?

Although he didn't quite understand, Chu Jiang still patiently waited for a certain old man to appear.

At this moment, several young masters of the Lin family were greeting the guests at each table; only a group of female relatives and the younger fifth young master sat at this table.

It is worth mentioning that there was a red slap mark on the fifth aunt's face, and I don't know who slapped it, and it hasn't disappeared until now.

But looking at the other wives and concubines who subconsciously kept a distance from Xu Lan and approached the eldest lady, Chu Jiang probably knew what was going on...

Despite the slap marks on her face, the fifth aunt was still calm and composed, and she didn't look aggrieved much, she just looked at Chu Jiang from time to time.

And Chu Jiang, Second Miss and Fifth Young Master are all pestering him now, asking him to tell stories.

Chu Jiang had no choice but to pick up some foreign fairy tales for them to listen to. After all, they were much more familiar with some domestic historical stories than Chu Jiang.

At this time, Lin Mohua did not "occupy" Chu Jiang, but just drank the wine expressionlessly. Presumably, he felt that these two little ones would not pose a threat to him.

......

At the climax of the moon, when the time of midnight was approaching, all the guests at the banquet suddenly heard a hollow echo of "Squeak~" from the depths of the Lin Mansion.

As soon as this voice sounded, the people who were joking and laughing immediately fell silent; the young masters of the Lin family also returned to the upper table and took their seats.

Oh, by the way, the fourth young master's hostility towards Chu Jiang seems to have disappeared, at least on the surface, there is no clue... In fact, he doesn't know.

Not long after the sound of the door opening sounded, everyone heard a heavy footstep coming from the depths of the darkness, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

Only then did Chu Jiang suddenly realize that before the black sun was sucked in by the mysterious vortex, he heard a sound of wood hitting the ground.

Now that I think about it, it should be the old man hitting the ground with his cane...

The footsteps were getting closer, and everyone was looking forward to it, even Chu Jiang was no exception.

But in the end, it was just a tall, ordinary old man who walked into the garden from the depths of the Lin Mansion. At first glance, he didn't give off any eerie and weird feeling, and he was different from the ghost master in many people's impressions.

The old man looks about 80 or [-] years old. He is dressed in common clothes and has pale silver hair. Although his face is covered with wrinkles and has many age spots, the majesty of his youth can still be seen.

He was leaning on an old bamboo crutch in his right hand. The crutch was six feet long, and the penultimate section was tied with a piece of blackened red rope.

As the old man approached step by step, everyone involuntarily stood up.

Among them, Lin Xingtian, the young master, said first: "Congratulations to the old lady, I wish the old lady a life like a mountain, like a mound, like a mausoleum, like a hill, like a river, as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, as shaded by pines and cypresses, and as long as Nanshan Mountain." !"

The others also cupped their hands and congratulated in unison: "May the old man be more than ancient, and live longer than Nanshan!"

Chapter 170 Five Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night

The old man just nodded slightly, and after he stood still, he said lightly, "Let's get started."

As the hoarse and deep words fell, a strange thing happened. Not far from the old man, on the land of the garden, a bloody ghost suddenly appeared.

It has countless knife wounds all over its body, and blood is dripping from every wound, and some wounds are deep enough to show the bone, as if even a piece of flesh has been cut off.

This is a Lingchi ghost, who was cut to death by thousands of knives during his lifetime. As soon as it appeared, all the guests in the garden felt a sense of palpitation.

Chu Jiang's body was also slightly tense, this ghost that suddenly emerged from the ground was very dangerous; at the same time, he felt a little strange, what could have happened?

Observing the surroundings, Chu Jiang could find that although most of the guests on the tables were in fear, they were even warring, subconsciously grasping their clothes with both hands.

But besides this fear, they also have a hint of excitement.

Moreover, none of the guests screamed or ran away, and they seemed not worried that something would happen to them.

Chu Jiang looked at the Lin family again. Most of them were calm, as if they had experienced it many times before, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

Only the second young lady and the fifth young master were vaguely looking forward to it, peeking at Chu Jiang from time to time.

Chu Jiang just looked at the old man because he moved.

As soon as the Lingchi ghost was released from the ground, it slightly raised a hand towards the old man who was closest to it.

But the old man raised his crutch with no expression on his face, and the end of the stick hit the stone slab in the garden, making a "duh~".

Following this soft sound, countless chains of black mist emerged from the ground, tightly binding Ling Chi Ghost who had just raised his hand, making him unable to move, and even its supernatural power was temporarily sealed.

As soon as Ling Chi ghost was restrained, another ghost appeared in the arena, this time it was a ghost who lived in an unclean alley.

Its body was swollen and dirty, and it exuded a disgusting stench all over its body. All the alleys and filthy places were haunted by this ghost.

As soon as the ghost living in Unclean Alley appeared, he opened his bloody mouth wide open, trying to swallow a young woman wearing perfume nearby, which made the woman scream.

But with a sound of "duh~", the sound of the old man's crutch sounded again. This dirty ghost was also bound tightly by the black mist chains, and even the stench from its body could not pass through the seal and spread out to the outside world.

All the guests did not dare to make a sound, but continued to watch with excitement in fear.Although their expressions were relatively dull, the emotions that should be expressed were all expressed on their faces.

There was more to come, one ghost after another popped out!The speed is also getting faster and faster.

Those ghosts really opened Chu Jiang's horizons:

There is a kind of ghost who whines and blows the wind, and can't see the shape at all; there is a group of will-o'-the-wisps, faint green, which makes people panic; there is a string of heads, which resemble centipedes in long strings. The enclosure encloses the entire garden.

In addition, a stage unexpectedly appeared in this garden, and actors and actors in costumes were performing on the stage, with low-pitched, melodious voices, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, erhu, and pipa...

As soon as the stage came out, many people went in obsessively. Some applauded, some applauded, some wanted to reward money, and some people sang along.

Moreover, this stage is very special. Countless chains of black mist emerged and shot over, but they disappeared into the air one by one, without knowing where they were going.

Looking at the stage, Chu Jiang gradually became obsessed. He knew exactly what he was doing and could control his emotions, but he still sang in a low voice:

"Traveling towards the Tiger Mountain without ever going forward, clearing the clouds and mist to see the light. In the dream, the flowers bloom in the peony pavilion, and the illusion comes true, singing and dancing~"

Hearing this sentence, Fifth Aunt was shocked, and she looked at Chu Jiang in surprise.

Of course, her performance also made Da Furen frown, making her even more displeased.

No matter how special the stage is, it still cannot escape the palm of the old man in the end.After he tapped his crutch a little more, the chain of black mist successfully broke through some kind of invisible blockade, bound all the actors on the stage, and even tied up the entire stage.

At this time, the guests in the audience just woke up like a dream, and there was a feeling of dread, they were actually cheering for a group of ghosts.

Chu Jiang was fine, he just guessed in his heart, is there any connection between this stage ghost and the small theater he sealed?

Are they also the same series of ghosts?Just like the imitation ghost that Chu Jiang encountered before, and the infinitely proliferating ghost mentioned by psychologist Zhou Wenshan.

If this is the case, the stage ghost should be obviously stronger than the small theater.

In addition, Chu Jiang found out that the black mist chain used by the old man seemed to be somewhat similar to the ghost iron chain in his ghost diary.

The supernatural power of this chain type seems to have some commonality, and its main function is to seal.

But unlike the ghost diary, the black mist chains all emerge from the ground.

In other words, it seems immovable, it can only seal the many ghosts underground in the Lin Mansion, and cannot carry the diary around like Chu Jiang.
