"Tell me about it." Gongsun Landau.

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "If someone is digging something here, it must be something valuable." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and nodded, "It's the same as I thought." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Because this is Liu Wenjing's mansion, Liu Wenjing is a great contributor to the founding of the country, and the family must have a huge fortune, although the house is raided, but a big family like this will inevitably have a secret room or something like that to hide the property, obviously it is possible that these hidden treasures were not copied out at all when the house was raided." ”

Gongsun Lanxin's eyes shot an excited light and said, "It's still the same as I thought." ”

Wang Yuan frowned and paced, waving his hand to continue to use his imagination.

"Some people know that there are treasures hidden here, but because after Liu Wenjing was beheaded by all the houses, this house was bought by a wealthy businessman surnamed Chen from Luoyang as an official property auction, and they had no way to find it, so they probably used some vicious means to make trouble in secret. The people in this wealthy merchant have been dying continuously, and some of them seem to be possessed by demons, and this drug can also cause this symptom. And it is not difficult for a wealthy merchant to mix in a few miscellaneous servants or something, and put some medicine in the food. ”

"Makes sense, keep talking." Gongsun Lan exclaimed lightly.

"After they succeeded, these people spread some messages infested with ghosts and gods, pretending to be ghosts, and scared the people of the Chen family out of this house, this house is haunted, and naturally it can't be sold, so they can rest assured and boldly look for hidden treasures inside."

Gongsun Lan nodded again and again: "The analysis is reasonable, just like what happened in front of you, although I dare not say that it must be so, but it must be one of the possibilities." With what I thought eight. Nine is not far from ten. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "We call it 'the body without colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is clear.'" ’”

Gongsun Lan read this poem, and suddenly his face turned red, but he didn't blame Wang Yuanfeng for his words, frowned and thought about it: "There are still some things that are difficult to explain, the old man said that they once organized people to come in, but some of them disappeared inside, what is going on?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is not difficult to explain, the people outside must have been killed by them when they came in, and the skeleton people on the barren grassland outside are afraid to be witnessed." And being mistaken for a ghost couldn't be simpler, and drawing a grimace or something is enough to make it difficult for anyone who is worried about a ghost to distinguish it. These treasure diggers must have martial arts, and when the idle strong men come in, they are no match for them at all, and after they are killed, they will be thrown into the grass and turned into skeletons. ”

Gongsun Lan said suddenly: "In this way, it can be said, the ghost theory can be broken, I don't know if these people have found the treasure they are looking for." ”

Wang Yuan remembered something and said: "The wild grass around the firewood house in the front yard seems to have been uprooted, and I have found all the excrement near the left, obviously someone has stayed there." Just now I was going to go into the firewood room to have a look, but you just called me, so I didn't go in, let's go and have a look. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded in agreement, and the two went to the front yard from the middle hall, and saw that there seemed to be fewer weeds around the firewood room in the corner of the courtyard, as if they had indeed been eradicated, and there were some yellow and white things around. Gongsun Lan slowly walked over with a short sword, and split the firewood door in two with a sword, and after a piece of grass clippings and dust flew, everything in the firewood room appeared in front of him. But I saw that there were a large number of iron picks, iron chisels, hoes, shovels, and other things in the horizontal and vertical directions, and there were hundreds of them. Some of the fractures are rusty yellow, some are shiny, and apparently someone has used it recently.

Wang Yuan looked at these tools and smacked his tongue: "There are so many digging tools, these dozen or so are still new, so it seems that there are still people who come here to dig often." Oh no, if we buy this house, won't we have to be harassed by them? ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Are you saying that these people are still digging for treasure here?" After all these years, you haven't found it? It has been more than 100 years since Liu Wenjing was raided, and the original gang has not died? ”

Wang Yuan said: "It is not difficult to understand that the ancestors can't find it, and they may not tell this secret to future generations, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, and this place will become a treasure hunt for their children and grandchildren from generation to generation." It's been more than a hundred years, and when it comes to the grandchildren of these people, it seems that they are not dead. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "I'm afraid it's the situation you said, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "It's very simple, if you want to buy this house, you must solve this matter, otherwise they will inevitably continue to come to disturb you." These people will do anything for money, and they will never be soft-hearted when they kill people and the like, and they must not let them become a threat to us. Either we're going to abandon the house, or we're going to need to get rid of these threats. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "Since there are no ghosts in this house, it is a good deal, and the place here is wide, that is, it takes a lot of effort to renovate the house after buying, but if it is renovated, it is really a good place to live." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "I think so too, and if there is really a treasure here, we have to buy this place." ”

Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan and said, "Do you really think there is a treasure here?" Even if there is, these people have been looking for more than 100 years, and they haven't found it, can you find it? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's just that, I didn't have this in mind." If you want to buy this house, you have to ask your cousin and Twelve Niang to come and wait for the rabbit, this group of people will definitely come, maybe tonight or tomorrow night, maybe one day in the future, in short, they are here, they have to clean them up, otherwise there will be no peace in the future. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "This matter is not difficult, buy this mansion first, once they know that someone has bought this mansion, they will take the initiative to drive us away, we don't need to go to them at all, they will take the initiative to send it to the door." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "That's the truth." ”

The two of them wandered through the deserted mansion again, this time no longer frightened, for they had determined that there were no ghosts here, and this time the inspection also found something, the holes in the several houses near the west side were newly dug, and some of them were half dug, and a few tools were still lost at the edge of the pit, and two wine sacs were found at the edge of the pit, which were shaken and rattled, and there were some spirits in it. All this further proves that the two of them just estimated that this group of people could come back at any time to continue their plan to move mountains.

It was too dark to see the height of the sun, but it was obviously almost dusk, so the two quickly returned the same way and returned to the main street to the north, where they found the Chen Kee Noodle Shop. The two couples thought that the guests had come to the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Wang Yuan saw that there was no one else in the store, so he said bluntly: "Is this boss the owner of the old mansion on the wasteland in front of him?" ”

The shopkeeper Chen was shocked and said, "What? Someone else died inside? This has nothing to do with me, the house is an inheritance left by my ancestors, and it has nothing to do with me, and I haven't been in it for a day. ”

The woman next to her was also trembling with fright, looking at Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan's dress, she thought that someone from the government was holding her accountable.

Wang Yuan hurriedly comforted: "There is no one to die inside, I just came to talk to the two of you about business, we want to buy that house, I heard that it is your property, come and ask for a price." ”

"What?" The two couples looked at Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan with round eyes: "We heard it right, do you want to buy that house?" ”

"Yes, we want to buy it." Wang Yuan nodded in affirmation.

"Don't blame me for saying before I have nothing to do, there are strange things in that house, although my husband and wife have not seen each other, but the words handed down by my ancestors and the rumors around me must be known to you, there are no people living there." The husband and wife of the shopkeeper Chen are honest people, and they don't hide it.

Wang Yuan said: "We all know, but we are not afraid, my cousin and I are both returning from Laoshan school, not afraid of ghosts and gods, we just want to buy this house, you can make a price." ”

"Do you really want to buy it?" Shopkeeper Chen said half-convinced.

"Give me a price, if you don't want to sell it, we'll leave."

"Sell, sell, sell, of course, hmm...... What about this number? Shopkeeper Chen stretched out five fingers.

Wang Yuan glanced at Gongsun Lan, and Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Very good, very fair, five hundred guan is a suitable price." ”

Shopkeeper Chen and his wife almost fell to the ground and fainted, Shopkeeper Chen meant that it was just fifty yuan, but it was misunderstood by Gongsun Lan as five hundred yuan, and he said that it was a very fair price. Shopkeeper Chen blurted out that he was about to explain, his Hun family was very shrewd, pinched his arm and flesh, and said with a smile: "The land of this house could have been worth more, my husband's ancestor spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy it, if it weren't for these things, the land alone would have been sold for thousands of yuan." ”

Wang Yuan saw the clue, and he didn't want to break it, so he smiled and said: "We can promise your price, but I have one condition, after the money and the real estate deed are handed over, your husband and wife will leave the capital and settle down elsewhere, and no one can tell anyone that the house was bought by us." ”

"Okay, okay, we are planning to go back to our hometown in Luoyang to settle down, but we are suffering from being dragged down by this house, as long as the deal is completed, we will leave the capital immediately and return to our hometown." The woman agreed.

The shopkeeper Chen seemed to be carried away by happiness, nodded with a stupid smirk, five hundred guan, all of a sudden he would not have to worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime, there are relatives in Luoyang's hometown, if it weren't for the hardship of life, they would have wanted to go back a long time ago, this ghost house is like a magic spell on the neck, pressed on the body and can't get rid of it, today it actually sold five hundred guan, it is really the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue.

"Okay, a word is decided, shopkeeper Chen, you open the door at night, we will bring the contract and money and delivery, do you want copper money, cloth or gold and silver? Or jewelry? ”

"It's all done, everything is done." The two husbands and wives said in unison.

"Okay, I'll bring thirty taels of gold, thirty taels of gold is enough to cover five hundred yuan, and it's easy for you to carry on the road, it's all copper coins, I'm afraid you have to hire a carriage to pull it back to Luoyang, it's inconvenient and unsafe." Gongsun Landau.

"Good, good, good." The two couples nodded like pecking rice.

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan glanced at each other and got up and said, "Then let's go first, it's time for a night fast, and we'll come back after the drums stop." ”

Shopkeeper Chen said dumbfoundedly: "Why are you still here after the night is banned?" ”

The woman cried, "What do you care?" These two little immortal elders are not even afraid of those things, and they are worried that they will not be able to enter this workshop? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You think about it too much, we will live in Jing'an Fang, and we are not afraid to close the door, we just go back to make money." ”
