I wanted to refuse, but when I saw the staircase, Sister Tong suddenly gave me an anxious, flashing look.

As if to remind me of something?

I nodded, my head was sweaty, and said, "Landlord, mother-in-law, then please." ”

After hearing this, the landlady's expression softened a little, and she nodded and said, "Then come with me!" As it happens, I have something to talk about as well. ”

"Let's open the skylight and say something."

The last sentence made my eyes unconsciously sharp.

I followed the landlady to her house and found that there were Buddha statues in the house, which was obviously superstitious.

Moreover, the statues of the Buddha faintly exude a golden light that cannot be seen by the naked eye, indicating that it has passed through the monks and opened the light.

The place where I live is also a place where evil spirits are extremely warded, with layers of protection, plus I know some ghosts and gods, this landlord is very easy to deal with some dirty things in the building.

Just like I saw before, the thing that turned into white smoke, the incense burner, must have been dedicated to the gods, so after the incense, the afterglow of the Buddha's incense destroyed the ghost.

Now I understand more or less, and when I sat on the stool, the old lady poured me a cup of tea, and I didn't touch the tea casually this time.

After being looked at by the landlady, her wrinkled face smiled meaninglessly and said: You are afraid!

I didn't hesitate to say what was in my heart, which surprised me, it seems that this old lady really doesn't plan to shy away anymore, and she must also see that I am not an ordinary person.

So I took the tea, and drank it, as proof of it: good tea! However, the fragrance is too strong, and the taste of the tea is masked.

After hearing this, the old lady sat across from me with a smile, looked at me and said, "It's okay, just get used to it."

Wouldn't it be nice to be blessed by the Buddha's incense? Evil creatures dare not come close.

I put down the teacup and couldn't help but sneer: Not only that, but it can also destroy dirty things.

The old lady lost her smile this time and became a little gloomy.

She stomped on the ground three times with a cane, the same as before, I don't think this is a habitual action, what does it mean for her to stomp on crutches?

Perhaps seeing my puzzled look, the old lady pointed directly at my nose and said directly: "Young man, the old woman will say it first."

I crossed my arms and looked like I was ready to listen.

The old lady lowered her face, her facial features were hidden by shadows, and she said: Presumably, you also know that there are no people living in that building.

And the building sits north and faces west, always with the sun on its back, and it is dark day and night.

After a long time, all kinds of things sometimes dare to pop up during the day.

In addition, the neighborhood is a suburb and sparsely populated, and the people who live there are either old and decrepit old people or unemployed young people with low luck.

When the balance of yin and yang is reversed, the building naturally becomes a place where things are entrenched underground.

After the old lady finished speaking, she paused, raised her teacup and took a sip.

I said: Then old woman, you are shrouded in Buddha light here, the sun moistens for the longest time, and the yang energy is the deepest, which just forms a balance with the shadow building.

In this way, the people who live outside are separated from the other world, just like the people of the two worlds.

The old lady listened to my words, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I am really right, you understand."

As she spoke, her expression gradually became gloomy, and she said in a heavy tone: This is also the purpose of my search for you.

Because in this building, only you can help me now.

Don't know why? As soon as the old lady had such an expression, I had a premonition of uneasiness.

But I still have the courage to ask: If you have something, just say it! If it weren't for something unreasonable, I would do my best.

After I finished saying this, the old lady looked at me deeply and said, "Now this balance is about to be broken."

I hope you'll protect these tenants for me.

Because I'm fast... He's dead.

As soon as these words came out, I almost didn't stand up, my eyes were all shocked, I looked at the old woman and said: Don't tease me. I think you're in good health.

It's okay to live for ten years.

But the old lady closed her eyes, remembering the expression of memory, but laughed out loud: the old woman should have died a long time ago.

It's just that I'm afraid of living up to the trust of my predecessors, so I have supported it until now.

This building used to be in the vicinity and was a famous residential building near and far. Once upon a time there were seventy-two households, and more than two hundred people.

At this moment, there are only 38 people left, more than a dozen families.

I wondered: That's not moving away! That's how people pursue good things.

The old lady sighed: If only that were the case.

It's a pity that they didn't move away.

And all... He's dead.

Now that the generation is in the same house, I have only held the descendants of a dozen or so families. Because of the rules that cannot move out of the building, these descendants have been living at the bottom of society.

Maybe this is retribution!

The more the old woman talked, the more mysterious it became, which made me feel that there was a story, and I thought it would be okay to listen to it, and I could also ask who the so-called cousin was by the way? Is it the sea?

Then I said, "Say it!" I'm listening. Your story.

The old lady's smile finally made her say a little: It was fifty years ago, and there were more than 200 people here in the past, and they lived in harmony.

If there are any difficulties, everyone will share them together.

It used to be the envy of many people, because it was like a big family.

I grew up here too. And it was in what you called the shadow building, growing up.

But the building is not built like this.

It's the same as the house on my side, sitting north and facing south, good feng shui.

The good times didn't last long... My father met a well-known master at the time, and the master told my father that there was going to be a catastrophe here that would kill everyone.

You want to! More than 200 lives at that time. Anyone who hears that something is going to happen will be terrified.

My father was a little skeptical at first, but the master told my father to stay at the door that night and not let anyone go out, otherwise the person who went out would surely die.

More than ten years ago, my father kept a vigil in the same place where you have been lying down for the past few days.

My father was skeptical, but he still planned to guard the door to prevent any tenants from going out.

But that night there was a family, with a dozen tenants, going out for a drink.

In the past, there were still food stalls in the vicinity, and the rental house was here, so it was also very convenient to go out to eat something.

As the master had said, my father prevented them from going back, and instead they were dragged together to drink.

My father refused and stopped them from going out. In the end, they couldn't stop a dozen people, and they went out.

At that time, my father was very panicked and wanted to go out with him, at least under his nose, and he could prevent what the master had predicted.

Unfortunately, before my father could step out of the door, there was a sudden earthquake outside, and everything collapsed except for the rented house.

The dozen or so tenants died on the spot.
