Chapter 213: Temple Ghost
The moment Lu Nan opened the door, the animals outside quickly put down their work and returned to their respective hiding places.
Du Pingfan was frightened by the bite of the silver krait, for fear that something strange would come out of the house, so he simply stood outside the door and waited for Lu Nan to confirm that it was safe before entering.
At the moment when Lu Nan entered the door, the door slammed shut tightly.
Lu Nan didn't even look at it, such a little trick could no longer make a ripple in his expression.
The entrance is a fairly large hall, accounting for half of the entire first floor, the kitchen and dining room on the left, and the spiral staircase leading to the second floor on the right.
Directly behind the living room were two small rooms, the doors open to the sides, and were supposed to be places to store food or rest for the servants.
There was a door deep in the hallway in front of the kitchen door that looked like it led to the basement. That strange smell came from that door.
Lu Nan followed the corridor to the door leading to the basement, and saw a peach talisman hanging on the door, but it was covered with cracks, and it seemed that it might shatter at any time.
Lu Nan was about to reach out to open the door, but the door opened automatically.
A low moan came from inside the door, followed by an arm reaching out from inside the door.
The arm lay limply on the ground, with the fingers slightly folded, as if the owner of the arm was seriously injured, or was so weak that he could not lift the arm.
Lu Nan frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to open a crack in the door, and the light shone in along the crack in the door, and a sleepy face came into Lu Nan's eyes.
It was a woman's face, but it was neither young nor pretty, with dark skin, an overly full face, narrow eyes, a very small mouth, and a nose that only protruded slightly from the face.
"Save ...... Help me......"
After seeing Lu Nan, the weak and drowsy face suddenly bloomed with a glimmer of brilliance, and hurriedly called for help.
Lu Nan squatted down, pressed his knees against the door, and said with a smile: "How do you want me to save you?" ”
The woman looked at Lu Nan with pleading eyes and said in a weak voice.
"Just open the door and let me out."
Lu Nan didn't speak, but took out a chapter of ignition talismans and bounced into the staircase passage behind the door.
The flames instantly illuminated the passage, and a white bone of Gensen came into Lu Nan's eyes, and there were no human bones under a closer look, all of them were animal bones.
The moment Lu Nan opened the door, he smelled a smell of rotten bones, and he was prepared, but after seeing the scene inside the door, his face still couldn't help but become ugly.
Seeing that her evil deeds were discovered, the woman no longer pretended, but got up and stood inside the door, laughing with a small mouth, and a little cold light in her narrow eyes.
At the same time, the woman's information appeared in front of Lu Nan's eyes.
Temple ghosts

Hazard level: five stars
Temple ghosts, ghosts turned into ghosts by mud embryos in the temple.
Seeing the word temple ghost reminded Lu Nan of a story he had seen.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a showman named Wang Qi, and when he was resting in the study, a woman suddenly pushed the door in, and untied her clothes to seduce Wang Qi. It's just that the woman is black and ugly, and Wang Qi really can't accept it, so he rejected her.
This woman is also persistent, trying her best to please Wang Qi every day, and sending them to the door in various ways.
The ancients also looked at their faces when looking for a partner, Wang Qi didn't feel anything about this ugly woman, and he was always unwilling to be happy with her.
The woman finally became angry, and after crying for a while, she said that since Wang Qi was so ruthless and unrighteous, it was better to die together. So he dragged Wang Qi to hang himself and jumped into the river to seek death, but others could only see Wang Qi and not see women, and they all said that Wang Qi was crazy.
One day, a samurai appeared at Wang Qi's house, took a chain to tie the woman, and dragged her into the courtyard.
Only then did the woman show her original form, which was actually transformed by a mud fetus in the City God Temple.
The women in the story are the same as the women in front of Lu Nan, they all belong to the temple ghosts.
Lu Nan originally thought that those spiritual creatures outside didn't like outsiders, so he tried every means to drive them away, but now it seems that they shouldn't want anyone to be poisoned by this temple ghost.
What puzzled Lu Nan was that this villa was not a temple or a temple, how could such a rare ghost appear.
"Temple ghosts?" Lu Nan's voice was cold.
"Oh, I know a lot."
The voice of the temple ghost was somewhat peculiar, not clear, neither low nor hoarse, like the whining sound of the wind blowing into a clay pot.
Lu Nan raised his eyelids and glanced at the peach talisman on the door, sighed and said.
"This peach talisman is not an ordinary object, and it is warmed by the aura here every day, and it can be gradually corroded by you, it seems that your ability is not ordinary."
"It's good to know, take the peach talisman away, I can spare your life. Otherwise, when I personally pluck the peach charm, you will be my tonic. ”
The temple ghost stood like a stone statue, and did not make any movements when he spoke, not even shaking his shoulders.
Lu Nan opened the door a little more, exposing the woman's full appearance, and said with a sigh.
"It's really like the legend, so ugly."
"What do you mean?" The woman was furious.
Lu Nan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Literally."
As soon as the words fell, the soul chains flew out, wrapping the woman tightly.
The temple ghost struggled, and found that instead of being broken, the chains were getting tighter and tighter.
"What are you going to do?" The temple ghost panicked and asked with a frightened expression.
Lu Nan smiled and said.
"Three questions, well answered, let you live. Answer badly, you know the consequences! ”
The temple ghost nodded again and again.
"I must be honest, strive for leniency, and be a new person!"
Lu Nan nodded, stretched out a finger, and said.
"First question, why are you here?"
The temple ghost replied immediately.
"In the early years, this was a mountain temple, and I was a clay statue in the temple. Later, the mountain temple was demolished and I was buried in the ground, and over time it became what it is now. ”
Lu Nan thought about it, there are indeed a few mountains in the north of Shangcheng, and Shangcheng itself is built at the foot of the mountain, so it is normal to have a mountain temple, and the temple ghost should not lie about this.
Lu Nan stretched out another finger and said.
"The second question, I just read, the feng shui here can only be said to be average, and it is definitely not a place like the Cave Heavenly Immortal Mansion. But why is the aura here different from outside? ”
"I ...... I don't know, I've been locked up here since I was born, I don't know what the aura is like outside. ”
When the temple ghost said this, his eyes swayed from side to side, erratic, and he didn't dare to look directly into Lu Nan's eyes, obviously there was fraud in his words.
Lu Nan stretched out his hand to pick off the peach talisman on the door and said with a smile.
"What do you think will happen if I hang this peach talisman around your neck?"
