It didn't take long for a few people to arrive, it was a secluded place, separated from the main street by a few streets, facing east, in front of the door was a deserted crossroads, due to the transformation of the streets, it was no longer prosperous, and now only occasionally people pass by. The house is backed by an abandoned workshop, and although there are people living on the left and right, it still feels desolate and desolate.

"It's quiet here." Zhuang Sheng said, "Go in and have a look." ”

Luo'er opened the door, and several people slowly entered, and the central pool in front of them came into view.

"Huh! Although the sparrow is small, it really has all kinds of organs! Zhuang Sheng pointed to the pool in front of him and said, "It's just that my father is a martial artist and doesn't understand these interests, otherwise our family wouldn't just have an empty shelf, although it is big, but there is no scenery at all." ”

When everyone approached and looked closely, there was a huge stone standing in the middle of the pool, which was very interesting in strange shapes, but it was uninhabited all year round, and the water of the pool had become dark green, and the dead branches in it were rotten and blackened, and even the stone fence was rusty.

"It's ugly!" Yun Yun said in disgust.

"You know what, just a little repair, and it won't be a bother." Zhuang Sheng said, continue to move forward, behind the pool is the main hall, on both sides is still the verandah, they first looked at the main hall, and then entered from the verandah, in front of them is a main room, on both sides are side rooms, each side has a door, Zhuang Sheng looked at the main room, went straight out and went to the small door on the right, the field of vision instantly became wide, here is a square simple courtyard, there is a door in front and on the right, Zhuang Sheng pushed open the door on the right - the inside is empty, there is only a stone table and a few stone benches in the courtyard surrounded by several walls, On each side are a few small trees that have lost their leaves. Zhuang Sheng closed the door, retreated, and opened the door in front of him again—there were rockeries and stagnant water in front of him, and there were two deep paths, and Zhuang Sheng chose one to walk at random.

Yun Yun and the others came out of the main room, but Zhuang Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

They looked at the two doors on the left and right and didn't see anyone, they called a few times, Zhuang Sheng heard the voice and answered, he didn't care, and walked into a dark hole, and then let them call, but never heard a response.

"Luo'er and I look to the left." Yun Yun said to Xiao Yu again, "You go to the right." ”

After she finished speaking, she opened the door with Luo'er and walked on the left, Xiao Yu was at a loss for a while, why did she leave herself here?

He walked in slightly, but he felt that it was very boring, so he returned to the front yard, and when he was bored, he thought, this mansion is like an official residence, and looking at its specifications and layout, its owner's position is not small, "There should be a secret room in the secret passage, I want to find it." He searched around in the front yard, but he didn't see any clues, and when he came to the ancestral hall, he walked in, and the inside was wide and hollow, with spider silk and cobweb, and the light was dim and the atmosphere was deep, and he entered the inner room through the side door, and it was even more gloomy inside.

There was a small window on the wall, Xiao Yu opened it, and a bright light shone in, and the room instantly brightened up.

The furnishings of this room are also simple, there is still an open door in the corner, Xiao Yu walked in, only to see a large shelf, which was empty, and went further in, and saw a wooden box on the right side of the third layer on the shelf.

"Empty shelves, leaving only one box?"

Xiao Yu walked over, but he couldn't take it off, but he opened it with just a light lift, and there was nothing to see in the black, so he had to use his hands to probe, except for getting a hand of dust, there was nothing else. Suddenly, he pushed lightly, and the wall on the right side "rumbled" apart, "Sure enough, it's a secret passage." Xiao Yu cautiously walked inside. In front of me is a stone staircase that extends downward, but the depth is too dark and I don't know how long. Through the faint light, he continued to descend, and the more he felt the dampness of the yin qi and the strange smell. It wasn't until he stepped on the flat ground that he turned around and looked up, and all he could see was a cloud of white light. After a few more steps, my foot touched something and made a "knock" sound. He picked it up, couldn't see clearly, so he touched it carefully—it was uneven and had a few holes.

"Skull?!"

Xiao Yu suddenly threw away his hand, and in shock, he felt his scalp tingle, and returned the way he came.

Zhuang Sheng drilled into a long and narrow culvert, Ben was still impressed by the exquisite design, but after turning a few corners, he found that there was no way out, and he could not return to the entrance.

After going around for another half an hour, the more I walked, the more confused I became, and the more panicked I became.

There was a hole in the top of the cave at a distance so that it could be illuminated. At this time, the wind blew, and the wind blew into the hole, making a sound of "woo...", Zhuang Sheng changed color in shock, scurried around, and ran to an open place - high, several bedrooms the size, surrounded by several holes, and in the middle was a green pool, emitting a foul smell.

Zhuang Sheng didn't care about the stench, and walked towards the green pond in a daze.

The more I could see it, the scene was shocking—there were pieces of cloth floating, and there were many white bones on the shore, and the clothes were half wrapped around the body, half submerged in water, half lying on the ground.

Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but vomit on the ground, his legs were weak, he sat on the ground, his eyes opened in a daze, he heard the hurricane howling, and the sky suddenly darkened, so that the cave became dim, and in a trance, he vaguely saw a figure moving at the entrance of the cave.

"Who? Who is it? …”

The sound was drowned out in the wind, and he couldn't hear his own sound, only the "hiss" sound of the wind, wrapped in a terrible human voice, constantly impacting.

"Ghost!" He looked at the bones, "Ghosts! ”

Zhuang Sheng's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Yun Yun was nearby, and when she heard the voice, she hurried over, and it didn't take long to find this place.

The head of the Meishan Dao didn't know how to come out of the hole, and when he saw someone fainting, he knew that he was frightened, so he first recited a few incantations and clicked a few acupuncture points on his body.

Luo'er carried him out, Zhuang Sheng slowly woke up, gradually regained consciousness, no matter how he asked, he didn't say a word, just opened his eyes, and looked frightened, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

Walking to the front yard, Xiao Yu was not there, the three of them went out, only to see him guarding the stone lion in front of the door, Xiao Yu saw them coming out, and hurriedly greeted them and asked: "Where have you been, why did it take so long to come out?" ”

Zhuang Sheng didn't answer, looked back at the gate of this mansion, and asked Luo'er: "Who owns this house?" ”

"The house of Lord Gongbu Tian, but since his death, his son has moved from here, and no one has bought it all these years." Luo'er said, "Lord Tian's son died last year for some reason, and only his old mother, wife and son were left in the family, but Lord Tian's grandson also suddenly contracted the disease, so they invited a Taoist priest to do things, and said that they were willing to give this house to others, just to accumulate yin virtue." ”

Yun Yun was frightened when she heard this, and she felt panicked in her heart, and complained: "Luo'er! What house do you choose? Dare you call us to come and see! ”

Luo Er lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It turned out that the young master said that it should be neither big nor small, and it should be a quiet house, this is the most suitable, if Miss doesn't want it, then there are a few slightly worse places not far from the north, you can go see them at any time."

Zhuang Sheng frowned and was silent.

"Brother Zhuang, this is really a murderous house, don't say you don't dare to live, and you can't stay here for a long time, it's better to leave quickly." Xiao Yu said, "I just walked to the dark room and found a lot of white bones, which is very terrifying!" ”

"No wonder there is a ghost in this house, there are ghosts."

"Where the hell came from?" A Taoist priest suddenly jumped out of the wall and appeared in front of the four of them, bluffing them into jumping.

The four of them saw that they were Taoist priests in strange costumes, and Zhuang Sheng was full of awe and said, "Daoist, I saw it with my own eyes." ”

"The ghost is a thing, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, for the open-minded and pure-hearted person, the ghost can't find him; Once you have evil thoughts in your own heart, not only will you become a ghost, but you will also become a ghost when you look at people. Meishan Dao Chang said, "You just saw the gust of yin wind, it was the poor Dao who was casting a spell to drive away the resentment of this house, and now it is all right." ”

Zhuang Sheng was skeptical and asked, "Dao Chang can also spell?" ”

"Deep mountain Gu art, just coaxing people, poor road to drive away evil and eliminate harm, rely on a righteous spirit, as long as the heart is pure, all harm will not invade, and the evil spirits will naturally retreat when they see me." The head of Meishan pointed to the roof and said, "Look. ”

Zhuang Sheng looked at it, the gloomy atmosphere of this house was gone, and the roof was shining with scorching sunlight, which was auspicious!

Xiao Yu was disdainful, and scolded this Taoist priest in his heart, but the sun was hidden under the clouds just now, and now the sun has come out, making the roof bright.

Zhuang Sheng smiled: "The Taoist is really a master, I want to ask-"

"Wait!" The Meishan Taoist looked at the sky and saw that the sun had reached the top of his head, so he said, "I am hungry, can the little boy take care of a meal at home?" ”

Xiao Yu was even more indignant, silent on the surface, and thought to himself: Heh, it turned out to be rubbing rice.

"Of course you can, the Taoist chief doesn't dislike vulgar food, it's my creation, please." Zhuang Sheng said to Xiao Yu again, "I broke my promise with you, I really can't get over it, just because I was busy a few days ago, and the old man gave birth to a lot of things, so I can't help but delay your affairs, and now that I am free, I must make it clear to my father that I will rescue my father from prison as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Yu was relieved and said, "Thank you." ”

"What happened to the ice corpse?" Zhuang Sheng asked quietly.

"It's unbelievable to say, since the last time you and I went, the cold has been even stronger, and it has affected my entire mansion, and it is now uninhabitable, so I have moved out of the old house a few days ago."

Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but think: "It seems that I am really lonely, how many strange things are there in this world!" ”

Everyone separated, Zhuang Sheng took the Taoist chief home and had lunch first, wanting to ask about the strange things in the past few days and the ghost he had just encountered in Nafu, but the Taoist chief said that he wanted to leave.

"Is it really just a meal?" Zhuang Sheng hurriedly kept him and said, "The Taoist chief has no fixed place to live, and his three meals are uncertain, and now he will not dislike me and go to eat at home, and he will live here for a few days in the future, so as not to be tired from running around." ”

The head of Meishan Dao looked up at the roof, pondered for a moment, and said: "That's it, you are okay here, the vulgar atmosphere is not very heavy, and it may not be able to erode my Taoism, so I will live here with you temporarily." ”

Zhuang Sheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to clean up a room for the Taoist chief in the very quiet backyard back room, and the Taoist didn't say much and immediately moved in.

Yun Yun asked, "Brother, did you really keep the Taoist priest in our house?" ”

"Why not, one is to ward off evil spirits, and the other is to relieve our worries."

"Will Daddy agree?"

"Definitely, the Taoist is not a layman, and Dad is also a person who is about to be liberated from worldly things, when his life is coming to an end, what people are thinking about is not the worldly affairs, but the topic of life and death, this topic is the most able to give the answer to these Taoist monks who are beyond life and death."

"Oh," Yun Yun naturally didn't understand, and asked again, "Then do you still want the house you saw today?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for it."

"I think so too," Yun Yun thought of Xiao Yu, who was muttering to his brother at the door of the house for a long time, not knowing what to discuss, but he was afraid that it would be a strange and bad thing, so he asked, "What were you discussing with that surnamed Xiao just now?" ”

"Yun Yun!" Zhuang Sheng's eyes were like torches, and he shouted, "Don't take a sip of 'surnamed Xiao', Xiao Yu is not a bad person, he is just eager to save his father, so he has been dealing with me a lot recently." ”

"Then tell me what you just discussed?"

"Isn't his father in prison, he has no way out, and he just wants me to ask my father to intercede."

"That's it?"

"I kid you not."

Yun Yun didn't give up, and said: "But his family opened a smoke house and harmed people!" ”

"First of all, his family is in business, and the world is bustling, all for profit; Besides, the opium has been shipped to the country, and there are always people who smoke it, so you shouldn't blame the businessmen, you should blame those hateful foreign devils, and if you want to hate, you should hate those addicts who kill themselves. ”

Yun Yun had nothing to say, apart from these two things, he couldn't think of anything bad about Xiao Yu, after all, he didn't know him.

Zhuang Sheng touched her head and said with a smile: "Good sister, you are good for me, I know, but you have been too sensitive recently, which makes you suspenseful about everything, resulting in a bad mood, so that you become depressed, and a small cold can't be cured for so long, so relax from now on, okay?" Well, listen to my brother. ”

Yun Yun glanced at him and was speechless.
