The two walked in silence for a while. Chiyang suddenly pulled Jiang Chen and raised his arm to point to the open space in the distance.
"Isn't that Miss Lin?"
Jiang Chen looked carefully and saw a white figure standing under a well pavilion, stretching out his swan-like jade neck and looking into the well next to him.
That elegant and graceful figure was undoubtedly Lin Xi.
"It's strange, she is so conspicuous in white clothes, isn't she afraid of being discovered?"
Lin Xi's position happened to be on the patrol route of the two servants. She seemed to be aware of it. She glanced over casually and continued to look down into the well.
An even stranger thing was yet to come. The two servants turned a blind eye to her and walked past the Jingting without stopping.
Jiang Chen yelled in his heart, what the hell, are the first two servants blind? How could such a big person not see?
But he had shown hostility to Lin Xi before, and he was embarrassed to go over to ask Lin Xi what was going on, so he only glanced at Chiyang.
Chi Yang was also quite puzzled by this. He walked to the well and took a look inside. He only saw a dark patch of darkness, so he asked, "Miss Lin, what are you looking at? Is there anything in the well?"
"There is resentment." Lin Xi replied, her eyes never leaving the well.
"It's normal." Jiang Chen said, "The well is the symbol of the underworld and the intermediary between heaven and earth. Naturally, there is some resentment in the land of darkness."
Lin Xi said: "The resentment here seems like yin but not yin, like yang but not yang. It's very strange. Moreover, I also heard the cry of a baby..."
Following Lin Xi's description, Jiang Chen glanced at the dark entrance of the well, feeling dazed for a while.
His vision suddenly became confused and he felt dizzy.
He hurriedly stood up, blinked his eyes carefully, and saw a scene between reality and illusion before his eyes——
From the dark wellhead, groups of black things suddenly appeared, spreading out like water plants and covering the entire wellhead.
If you look carefully, you will see that it is not a waterweed at all, but countless black hairs, twisting and dancing like thin snakes, braiding into terrifying shapes.
"You finally came……"
An ethereal and charming female voice came from the well.
Jiang Chen asked strangely: "Who are you? Do you know I'm coming?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time...help me..."
The woman's ethereal cry for help was getting closer and closer to the wellhead, as if she was about to climb up.
Jiang Chen looked closely and saw a bloody palm sticking out from among the thick black hair, with five fingers extremely bent in pain...
"Save my child..."
As if aware of Jiang Chen's presence, the cry for help became more desolate, desperate, and sharp.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but stretched out his palm, about to grasp it with the bloody hand in the black hair...
At this time, there was a sharp pain from the blood marks on his arm. The wound that had not healed seemed to be torn deeper, and blood was flowing out.
Jiang Chen suddenly shuddered, jumped back a big step, and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Looking up again, the dark well mouth was quiet and quiet. Where could there be any black hair or bloody palms? There was no cry for help at all!
Are what I just saw and heard all hallucinations?
No! It seems that this young hero has channeled the well unconsciously and felt the resentment in the well...
Jiang Chen shook his head vigorously, gathered his mind, and shook off the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
Looking at the mouth of the well again, he was extremely vigilant, thinking that it was an entrance to the underworld.
He has determined one thing - there is indeed "something" in this well, most likely a mother and child, and most likely it is the Mrs. Ru and her child that Chi Yang mentioned.
Although in Chiyang's words, Mrs. Ru was a virtuous woman who was knowledgeable and courteous, but when Jiang Chen recalled the scene just now, he felt a chill in his back.
——The mother and son in the well are in extreme danger! They can actively communicate with god-refining monks like Jiang Chen and lure him into becoming a scapegoat!
No matter how gentle and virtuous Mrs. Ru was during her lifetime, she would inevitably show a ferocious and terrifying appearance after turning into a ghost.
If Jiang Chen hadn't reached the fourth level of "psychic" and could maintain his last bit of clarity and wake up in time, he might have fallen into the well just now and become the scapegoat for the mother and son!
Could the so-called "haunting" of the Xue family be caused by this well?
Does the baby's cry that people hear come from this well?
But if both mother and son are trapped in a well, it can only affect a small area. Why is the entire Xue Mansion so lifeless now?
Lin Xi had been observing Jiang Chen's expression, and when he saw something strange in his expression, he asked, "Young Master Jiang, did you see something?"
Jiang Chen calmed down and nodded: "Yes, there is something dirty in the well."
Lin Xi asked: "What is it?"
"Didn't see clearly."
Chi Yang's voice came from the side: "We'll find out if we go down and take a look!"
Chi Yang said, pressing his hands on the well railing, raising his feet to jump in.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen quickly grabbed him, "You didn't even know what was inside, so you jumped in recklessly. Aren't you afraid of being entangled by a water ghost and never coming back?"
"What can these little brats do to me?" Chiyang is a martial arts master with strong blood and energy, so naturally he is not afraid of being sneaky.
"The person we are looking for is not inside, so don't make matters worse!" Jiang Chen pointed to the two servants who were retreating in front of him. "They are going far away. Let's follow them quickly. It's important to find Song Qi."
If Jiang Chen had sympathy for Mrs. Ru and her son at the beginning, after the scene where he was almost treated as a scapegoat just now, the sympathy in his heart disappeared completely.
He doesn't want to meddle in this family's business now, he just wants to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
When the two left, Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of Lin Xi's eyes looking over at him from the corner of his eye. She seemed quite disappointed and a little angry.
Jiang Chen became more and more sure that she had other thoughts, so he kept silent and became more wary in his heart.
If she was really at the seventh-level "Yin Shen" realm, she could pull up the well with water and mud with just one thought, leaving nothing in the well hidden. Why would she need to pull Chiyang into the water?
As the saying goes, one person should not enter the temple, two people should not look into the well, three people should not hug the tree, and one person should not lean on the railing when sitting alone.
If Chiyang goes down and only this young hero and she are left watching the well, if she intends to harm her, how can I fight her alone?
Moreover, just by the way the two servants turned a blind eye to Lin Xi, Jiang Chen felt that there was something weird about her, and that she was even closely related to the haunting of the Xue Mansion, so how could he not be on guard against her.
After following the servant out of the distance, Jiang Chen turned around and saw Lin Xi still standing by the well, a lonely figure, as quiet as a Bodhisattva statue.
