The heavy fog lasted for about two hours.
Because such a heavy fog was so rare, CCTV even made a special report to analyze the reasons for the heavy fog in summer from all aspects.
Chen Xi and Gu Lao were drinking tea while listening to the experts on TV blabber on and on.
Experts analyzed many possibilities, but the final conclusion was still related to global warming, the greenhouse effect, and such terms that people were already familiar with.
No matter what the situation was, as long as there was an abnormal climate, it was definitely due to environmental degradation. Therefore, the experts only repeatedly appealed on TV, hoping that people would spontaneously protect the environment and protect the common home of all mankind.
Only a very small number of people knew …
What did the appearance of the Heaven and Earth phenomenon mean?
Although Chen Xi was in the teahouse, his mind was always outside the house.
When the heavy fog dissipated, the hot summer sun once again shone on Houhai Old Street. Chen Xi smiled and retracted his divine sense.
The heavy fog dissipated, which meant that the Gate of Heaven was closed, and those people should naturally go back …
This was undoubtedly good news for Chen Xi.
He was not afraid of them, he just didn't want to trouble them.
After all, Chen Xi had long passed the age of yelling and killing. Being able to quietly drink tea for a while was more appropriate for an "old man" like him.
Chen Xi and Gu Lao chatted about the recent abnormal weather.
While they were chatting, Gu Lao seemed to be touched by something.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "The ancients said that whenever there is a Heaven and Earth phenomenon, something big must happen …"
Chen Xi thought he was referring to the recent weather, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
Gu Lao's mind drifted further and further. Before Chen Xi could speak, he continued, "I didn't see anything big, but recently, strange things have been happening one after another …"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi finally seemed to be interested, so he smiled and asked, "What strange things have you encountered recently?"
"Sigh, maybe it's because I'm old, so this old man is becoming more and more superstitious …"
Gu Lao smiled and shook his head. After looking at Chen Xi thoughtfully, he sighed softly, "There are some things that I've been keeping in my heart for a long time … Little Chen, I can see that you're not an ordinary person. If you're willing to listen, I can tell you about it. Just treat it as listening to an old man complain …"
Chen Xi had known Gu Lao for some time, but he had never seen him show such an expression, so he immediately smiled and said, "Interesting, why don't you tell me about it first?"
"Let me make this clear first. You youngsters should just treat this as a joke. Don't take it to heart …"
"It's nothing, we're just chatting. Don't worry, I'm not a blabbermouth …"
"Alright, it's actually like this …"
Then, Gu Lao spoke of the things that had been buried in his heart all this time.
The old man had never mentioned his family matters to Chen Xi before, but he didn't expect to spill it all out this time.
Gu Lao had a daughter, the mother of the two brothers, named Gu Yao.
But what was regrettable was that …
Just when Chen Xi moved from Zhonghai to Beijing with Niannian, Gu Yao died in a car accident.
Gu Lao used to live in his hometown in Jizhou. Because of Gu Yao's death, he returned to Houhai to take care of the two children for his daughter.
In fact, Chen Xi had already guessed that there might be something going on in Gu Lao's family.
After all, if it was a normal family, how could an old man like Gu Lao take care of the children 365 days a year? And there were two of them at once …
Not to mention whether he had the energy or not, didn't the children miss their parents at all?
What about their parents?
No matter how busy they were, there had to be a limit, right?
The two brothers rarely mentioned their father, which meant that they didn't like their father.
The children were still young, so Gu Lao could only lie to the two children that their mother had something to do abroad and would only come back once in a while.
This excuse was just like how Auntie Zhang used to lie to Niannian.
But here was the strange thing …
The reason why these two silly children didn't clamor for their mother was that Gu Yao often came back to see them.
Moreover, the frequency of her coming back was obviously much higher than before.
"I buried Yaoyao with my own hands, in the back of the mountain in my hometown."
"One day after dinner, I was watching TV in the room, and the two of them suddenly ran to me and told me that their mother was back …"
"You don't know …"
"When I heard this sentence, my first reaction was that all the hair on my body stood up …"
"Yaoyao is my daughter and their mother, so I believe that even if she became a ghost, she would never hurt me and the children …"
"But you also know …"
"There is a difference between humans and ghosts, how can humans stay with ghosts?"
"So, since that happened, I took the children out every day until it was dark, because I was afraid that if they stayed with Yaoyao for too long, they would be infected with Yin energy …"
After hearing Gu Lao's strange words, Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, she couldn't help but interrupt him and ask, "Are you so sure that the child's mother has become a ghost? How can there be ghosts in this world? Have you seen one? "
"Although I can't see it, the two of them can …"
Speaking of this, Gu Lao turned to the direction of the children's park and asked loudly, "Wenwen, when was the last time your mother came back?"
The older brother was busy playing marbles with the little guy, so the one who answered was the younger brother.
"Yesterday! Mom just came back yesterday! "
After that, the younger brother immediately lay back on the cushion, because it was his turn to play.
The three children played happily in the children's park, but Gu Lao could only shake his head and sigh.
In this regard, Chen Xi didn't know what to say.
Ghosts.
It's just a lingering spirit after death.
From the perspective of immortal cultivators, the spirit was just a kind of pure and weak energy body, it couldn't even be called a life.
Everything has a spirit, not only human beings will leave behind a spirit after death.
If it's a spirit left behind by a living creature, it will retain some memories of its life, but it won't be more than seven days.
It's also because the spirit is pure enough that it's easier for the spirit to come into contact with the origin of all things – Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Take a human as an example, if soon after a person's death, the spirit happens to float to a place with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, then it's very likely that it will merge with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and exist in the world as a more powerful energy body.
The spirit isn't scary, because they were just weak mortals, animals or even plants when they were alive, a little bit of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi only provided them with a chance to continue to exist in the world.
When the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is exhausted, it's the time when they really disappear.
This is the fundamental reason why there are so many ghost legends.
But now the strange thing is …
Gu Yao has been dead for more than half a year, but her spirit hasn't disappeared …
And this …
