Things like ghosts …
In fact, they weren't as mysterious as the legends said.
They were just a kind of energy body, so ordinary people couldn't see them at all.
But if the ghost suddenly condensed too much yin energy for some unknown reason, it would cause the ghost's soul body to materialize.
It was precisely because of this that ordinary people could see ghosts.
Of course, this situation was extremely rare.
In addition to this situation, there were a very small number of people who could directly see ghosts with their naked eyes.
These kinds of people often appeared in folklore — — -
Yin Yang Eyes.
However, the Yin Yang Eyes wasn't very accurate.
Immortal cultivators knew more than ordinary people, so from the perspective of immortal cultivators, the so-called Yin Yang Eyes was actually far more sensitive than ordinary people, so they could keenly detect signs of spiritual energy or yin energy fluctuations.
These people were obviously good seedlings suitable for cultivation.
Although Chen Xi didn't specifically test the brothers' cultivation aptitude, the fact that they could see Gu Yao's ghost meant that the aptitude of these two brothers wouldn't be too bad.
Although the seedlings were good, they weren't enough to arouse Chen Xi's interest.
What he was more concerned about was …
It had been more than half a year, why hadn't Gu Yao's ghost dissipated?
One had to know that the ghost of an ordinary person could only last for seven days at most.
Without the nourishment of the physical body, the soul was quite fragile. Even if the cultivation reached the Golden Core Stage, as long as the Yuanying hadn't been condensed, it was impossible to exist in the form of a soul for a long time.
Chen Xi was thinking about the reason why Gu Yao hadn't dissipated. Seeing that he had been silent, Gu Lao thought that Chen Xi thought he was crazy, so he immediately shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, just treat these things as gossip. Children's words carry no harm. Maybe it's because they miss their mother too much that they have such hallucinations …"
Night talk in the city, ghosts, and monsters.
These things had always been circulating in folklore, and Gu Lao didn't want this matter to make Chen Xi feel uncomfortable.
After all, even if Gu Yao became a ghost, she was still Gu Lao's biological daughter, so Gu Lao believed that Gu Yao wouldn't hurt him.
Chen Xi wasn't related to Gu Yao in any way, what if she was accidentally targeted by her?
It was better for ordinary people to stay away from such strange things.
What's more, Gu Yao had been appearing more and more frequently recently. Every time she appeared, although Gu Lao couldn't see it, he could clearly feel the change in the surrounding temperature.
It was clearly a hot summer day, but the room seemed to be air-conditioned …
Gu Lao was also worried about this matter, so he couldn't help but tell Chen Xi about it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lao regretted it.
It was best not to scare others when it came to their own matters.
However …
After listening to Gu Lao's words, Chen Xi responded with a relaxed smile, "Let's not talk about whether these things are superstitious or not, but I see that these two children are usually fine. There are no problems with their physical and mental health …"
"Since it's been more than half a year, there shouldn't be any problems …"
"You can think of it this way. Even if these things are just the children's illusions, at least these illusions can bring a certain degree of comfort to the two of them. Just treat it as a kind of spiritual sustenance …"
"After all, the children are still young. They may not be able to accept the fact that their mother has passed away. When they grow up, you can tell them the truth. Maybe this way, it will be easier for them to accept it."
Chen Xi's words were very vague, but Gu Lao still understood the meaning of his words.
Gu Yao had passed away for more than half a year. If she really wanted to hurt her children, something would have happened to these two children long ago.
Now these two brothers were alive and kicking all day. It was probably because she loved her children that Gu Yao often returned to visit them …
If he thought about it this way, it seemed to be acceptable?
Thinking of this, Gu Lao couldn't help but look at Chen Xi with a little surprise and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid?"
"En? Afraid of what? "
"This kind of bad luck, if I go back to my hometown and tell them, the people in the village will probably drive us out on the spot. The three of us won't be allowed to go back in this life."
"If you believe it, then it's true. If you don't believe it, then it's not true … I'm a good person, but I don't believe in evil, so this kind of thing will absolutely not scare me."
Hearing this, Gu Lao's mood suddenly became much better. After taking a sip of the tea cup, a smile finally appeared on his face and he said, "That's good. I was worried that I would scare you. I won't have such good tea to drink in the future …"
"You can rest assured. I'm one of the five good young men of the new era. I have Mao Gai, Ma Zhe, and Deng Lun to protect me. I have a five-star red flag floating above my head and a party emblem hanging on my chest. I guarantee that all evil will be repelled and nothing will be able to invade me!"
"Okay okay okay, let's see what you can do …"
After hearing Chen Xi's words, Gu Lao couldn't help but laugh out loud, so he immediately changed the topic and asked with a smile, "Since you are so good, why don't you come to my place for a meal later?"
In fact, Gu Lao didn't really want to invite Chen Xi home for a meal. He just wanted to use this opportunity to take down his prestige.
After all, the two were considered friends despite the difference in age, so they often made some harmless jokes.
But what Gu Lao didn't expect was …
Chen Xi didn't seem to have used his brain to think. After hearing Gu Lao's words, he didn't back down. Instead, he immediately nodded and hurriedly responded, "Okay, I've always wanted to try your cooking. This time, I finally got the opportunity."
Old Gu was stunned by Old Gu's eagerness.
Gu Lao was stunned for a while, then he shook his head violently, and then said with a complicated expression, "Forget it, I'm just joking with you … In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future …"
"Don't, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? It's just a meal, it won't get in the way. "
"No, no, I really can't, it's not safe …"
"What's not safe? It's broad daylight, you're still afraid of ghosts? How about this, I'll accompany you back to cook now. After it's done, I'll bring it here to eat. Is that okay? "
"Hey, I say, what's wrong with you? Why don't you listen to my advice? "
"Because I'm a party member."
Hearing Chen Xi's answer, Gu Lao almost choked to death.
The two of them struggled for a long time over the matter of freeloading.
In the end, Gu Lao couldn't persuade Chen Xi, so he had to look at the time helplessly.
It was now 3: 30 in the afternoon.
In fact, what Chen Xi said also made sense. There shouldn't be any problems in broad daylight, so after hesitating for a while, Gu Lao reluctantly agreed to Chen Xi's proposal.
So, Chen Xi immediately said goodbye to Qin Ruoying, then pulled Gu Lao out.
Gu Lao's home was also near Houhai. It was less than 500 meters away from the teahouse, but it had to circle around Houhai.
On the way back, Gu Lao was still struggling whether to take him home.
Seeing this, Chen Xi immediately found a topic to divert Gu Lao's attention, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Hey, by the way … Where's the child's father? Why haven't I heard you mention it to the child? "
As soon as these words came out, Gu Lao's face suddenly became a lot worse.
