"That house is haunted!"
The old manager said in a low voice. He also sat down and leaned forward slightly.
"It started about two years ago. That house used to belong to a wealthy family. One night, they suddenly heard a woman crying in the yard. It was especially horrifying. A servant came out with a lantern and saw a woman in white sitting by the well, covering her face and crying.
"The servant asked who she was, but she didn't answer. She just cried there. The servant thought that one of the women in the house was wronged and came to the yard to vent, so he shone the lantern over. Who knew … "
At this point, the old broker's voice became deeper and deeper, as if he had seen something horrible happen with his own eyes.
"What happened next?" Chu Caiwei clenched her small fists, her big eyes blinking nervously and expectantly.
Xu Qi 'an thought of the women in his previous life who were scared and wanted to watch horror movies. She was a seventh-grade Feng Shui master.
"At this time …" The old broker's voice was erratic and his expression was frighteningly gloomy. "The woman raised her face. Her facial features were badly mutilated. Her eyeballs were hanging on her face, forming two black holes with maggots crawling in them. Her mouth was dark purple, and black blood flowed out of her mouth … "
Xu Qi 'an saw goosebumps rise on Chu Caiwei's fair neck, and her delicate body shivered slightly.
The old broker was very satisfied with Chu Caiwei's reaction. He smiled with a sense of accomplishment and said, "After the first rich family moved out, the next two or three buyers encountered the same thing. There were even more strange ones. From then on, as if they were suffering from bad luck, problems occurred one after another. Either someone in the family got hurt, or their business plummeted. Their family became poorer and poorer, and they had no choice but to move out of the house."
"So this guy has a conscience …" Xu Qi 'an asked, "Did you report it to the authorities?"
"Of course, why not? But because no one was killed, the authorities came a few times and didn't care anymore. The first few rich families did hire a master. At first, it was indeed stable for a period of time, but it didn't take long for it to rise again. The female ghost was miserable at night, and it made everyone in the house anxious.
"Bad luck doesn't get better. It's still bad luck."
Xu Qi 'an knocked on the table and said with a smile, "It's a very interesting house. We plan to see it first."
The old broker was very surprised, thinking that the two young couples were not fools. They were young and arrogant, and always thought they were special and would be treated as an exception.
"Okay, I'll take you to see it. We can take our time to choose. There are many houses." The old broker was still smiling humbly.
…
The house was only one and a half miles away from the Musical House. On the east side of the house was a winding river, and on the west side was a garden. It was dozens of meters away from the main street, neither too far nor too close. In the daytime, there was no noise, and it was not necessary to go shopping too far.
It was quiet in a noisy place.
The old manager unlocked the lock on the mansion's door and pushed open the heavy door with great difficulty. While he patted the dust off his hands, he made a gesture to invite them in.
"Master and Madam, this way, please.
"Master" and "Madam" were very respectful titles, just like "Sir" and "Madam" in formal occasions. "Madam".
"Hmm!" Xu Qi 'an nodded and led Chu Caiwei in, looking around. The yard was bleak and dilapidated. Gray was scattered on the ground, and the paint on the pillars and walls was mottled. If it was summer, they might see the yard full of weeds.
The garden smelled of earth.
The old broker led them to the front yard and the front hall. Xu Qi 'an was quite satisfied. It was more spacious and magnificent than his second uncle's house in terms of layout and architecture.
But the old broker was unwilling to take them to the inner yard. He rubbed his hands and said, "Let's see it here. You can't go inside. It's unlucky."
"I think you're in the way …" Xu Qi 'an waved his hand. "Wait outside. We'll come out later. I'll take my wife to see it."
It was morning, and the sun was shining. The old broker felt relieved and said, "Come out early."
Chu Caiwei looked at Xu Qi 'an and frowned. "Who's your wife? Nonsense."
It was only a matter of time …
"You're a strange person. Shouldn't you buy a field with your savings? Why did you buy a house?"
"When you experience the fear of being dominated by housing prices, you'll be the same as me." Xu Qi 'an said as he looked around vigilantly. "I know that apart from Taoism, the primordial spirit of the cultivators of other systems will stay in the world for a long time after they die. It's determined according to the strength of the primordial spirit. Is there a remnant of the primordial spirit of a powerhouse in this house? "
Xu Qi 'an took out the small jade mirror unhurriedly. He put it on the back and took out the black gold long knife.
Facing Chu Caiwei's widened eyes, he said with a smile, "This is my treasure and my secret. Don't tell anyone. I'll treat you to delicious food later."
"Oh." Chu Caiwei just looked at it in surprise and did not care. After all, her deerskin waist bag was also an artifact for storing things.
A broken mirror for a delicious meal. It was a good deal.
Chu Caiwei jumped on the ridge of the roof. Light shone in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, like the eyes of Iron Man.
She carefully looked around the house, jumping on the ridge and changing her position. She did not miss any corner.
Finally, her Light eyes fell on the well in the inner courtyard. She saw wisps of light black gas overflowing.
"It's here." Chu Caiwei was happy. She landed and pulled Xu Qi 'an to the well.
"There's resentment here, resentment that can raise ghosts."
Xu Qi 'an was startled, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face as he pulled Chu Caiwei away.
"It's okay!" Beauty A shook her head. "The resentment is very weak. I think the resentment inside is not strong. I can handle it alone. "
While saying, she touched the deerskin bag and took out objects from it. There was black dog blood, cinnabar, gold, and some strange objects that Xu Qi 'an could not recognize.
Then she held a dry branch and drew on the ground with the well as the center. It was a vague Eight Diagrams Formation.
After drawing the Eight Diagrams Formation, she placed the objects that symbolized the extreme Yang in specific positions.
"Is this a formation?" Xu Qi 'an watched with great interest.
"No, this is a Feng Shui Formation. Strictly speaking, it is not a formation. I set up this Pure Yang Feng Shui Formation with the well as the center. The Feng Shui in the area covered by the Eight Diagrams will change. It becomes the extreme Yang, which can restrain the resentment in the well. "Chu Caiwei said.
It was a simple version of a formation … Feng Shui masters were the predecessors of formation masters, or the foundation. Xu Qi 'an had a deeper understanding of the Celestial Commissioner's warlock system.
After ten minutes, Chu Caiwei opened her Light eyes and nodded with satisfaction. "No more."
Xu Qi 'an smiled. "Thank you, Miss Caiwei."
They collected the materials together. Chu Caiwei patted the deerskin bag and said proudly, "I will accompany you to check the Feng Shui of the other courtyards. Then, I will go to Osmanthus Tower tonight."
"Okay!" Xu Qi 'an agreed.
The two of them walked out side by side. After a few steps, Chu Caiwei suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Eh?" She turned around and a clear light surged in her eyes.
She used the Qi Observation Technique and saw a faint black gas rising from the well.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qi 'an asked, noticing the change in her expression.
"No, it is not completely purified … No, the black gas is coming out again. There is something strange at the bottom of the well." Chu Caiwei ran back and stared at the mouth of the well for a while. She didn't believe it and set up a Pure Yang Feng Shui Formation again.
But the result was the same as before. The black gas came out again.
"What should we do?" Xu Qi 'an didn't expect it to be more troublesome than he expected.
"The simplest and most effective way is to ask the monks of the Green Dragon Temple to cast a spell to eliminate the black gas …" Before Chu Caiwei finished her words, she saw Xu Qi 'an ran to the mouth of the well.
His expression was solemn. As he formed a hand seal, he chanted,
"How dare you, demon! Great Dragon of Heaven, Revered Ksitigarbha! Daluo Dharma Spell, Prajna Buddhas! Prajna Pala! Flying Dragon in the Sky! Go! "
Nothing happened. Not even the wind made any noise.
Chu Caiwei looked at him blankly. "What are you doing?"
"This is the Demon Exorcism Spell of my hometown. I am just trying." Xu Qi 'an shrugged. "Obviously, the Demon Exorcism Spell of my hometown is not reliable."
Chu Caiwei said, "I haven't finished. Didn't the broker say that a few rich families asked the monks to cast a spell? But after a while, they returned to their original state.
"This is the same as what I just saw."
"Then what should we do?" Xu Qi 'an asked.
"I have some guesses. We will come again at night." Chu Caiwei was full of confidence. "But you have to eat more."
"No problem, but I don't think you are reliable. Don't forget that you are a bad student, Caiwei …" Xu Qi 'an said with a smile.
"With Caiwei's help, I have nothing to worry about. Let's eat more."
Thereupon the two of them left the place and followed the old broker, running all over the place to see other residences.
For Xu Qi 'an, there were many choices. He was not in a hurry to make a decision.
…
The warm sunlight shone on the observation deck. Wei Yuan was wearing a green robe and bathed in the warm sunlight.
His face had a jade-like luster. His silver hair reflected the sunlight and was even more dazzling than silver.
"The Princess Pingyang Case destroyed the Liang Party. The Silver Tax Case and the Sampo Case caused the Royal Party to suffer heavy losses. The Yan Party and the Qi Party are better preserved in the court." Wei Yuan took out the secret letter from his sleeve and smiled.
"And this secret letter can break one of the wings of the Qi Party."
Nangong Qianrou's smile was cold and sinister. "Foster Father, take advantage of Jingcha to quickly get rid of these obstructing obstacles. You can show your strength. "
"No hurry!" Just as Wei Yuan was about to continue speaking, footsteps could be heard from the stairs. An official came up and said,
An official came up and said, "Duke Wei, His Majesty has summoned you."
…
Nangong Qianrou drove the carriage and slowly stopped outside the palace. Wei Yuan came down from the carriage and brought his adopted son, who was more handsome than a woman, to the imperial study.
The Yuanjing Emperor rarely went to court. He would occasionally hold a small court meeting in the Imperial Study. Usually, it was sporadic. But during the Imperial Study, the small court meetings became more frequent.
After all, he was not completely oblivious to the affairs of the outside world and only focused on cultivating the path of immortality.
Outside the Imperial Study, Wei Yuan's footsteps paused slightly when he stepped over the high threshold. Then, he returned to normal.
"Your subject, Wei Yuan, greets Your Majesty." The eunuch bowed and glanced at the Yuanjing Emperor and the ministers beside him.
He smelled danger.
The Yuanjing Emperor was expressionless. He said in a deep voice, "Wei Yuan, why did I put you in charge of the night watchman?"
Wei Yuan said, "To protect Your Majesty and the capital."
"Well said." The Yuanjing Emperor nodded. Suddenly, he grabbed a memorial on the table and threw it at Wei Yuan.
He said harshly, "Is this how you protect me? I trust you wholeheartedly and this is how you repay me? "
