"I know about it. I'll trust you for now. But I came to this house today for another purpose. I want to know what happened to this edifice before. Now that you, the former owner, are still alive, well, you can't say you're alive, but you can still talk, so it's the best. Tell me a story from the past. “

"Can you tell me why you're so interested in this building? I just saw you sneaking up to my door today, and I don't know what you want to do, so I've been following you. Then, I saw you trying to climb up through the downstairs window. I wanted to scare you together, but it was only after you left that I got this little girl up. “

"I'm here to investigate the haunting of this mansion."

"Huh? Investigate me? “

"No, I didn't know your ghost was still in this world. I came to investigate the child's family, grandma, dad, and mom. Something about them becoming ghosts. “

Mr. Li asked with a strange expression, "I know that the old lady is dead." The other two, whom I saw yesterday, are they also dead? “

Chen Wusheng said: "I died last night." Xiao Ming's mother jumped off the building in a red dress, and said that she would turn into a ghost and come back for revenge on the night of the soul. “

Mr. Li sighed: "The night of the soul is just a legend, and if you die in red clothes, you may not become a ghost. But when someone dies in this building, the soul is indeed not so easily dissipated. It's not such a strange thing to turn into a ghost either. “

Chen Wusheng's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Is it because of this Jiuquan Yin 1 acupoint you said?" ”

Mr. Li made a smoking gesture at Chen Wusheng.

Chen Wusheng simply threw away the whole pack of cigarettes.

Mr. Li lit another cigarette, but the little hand holding the cigarette did not continue to put it in his mouth, but his face was full of contemplation, and he let the cigarette burn by itself.

It wasn't until half of the cigarette burned out on its own that he took a deep breath and said to Chen Wusheng: "I can tell you everything I know, but I also have one condition. ”

"Conditions? Do you think you have what it takes to negotiate with me? I'm not under the control of that Jiuquan 1**, and with a wave of my hand, I can let this body you borrow now hang up. I just don't know if you're going to get hurt from it. By the way, although I don't know how the Nine Springs Yin 1 Cave is arranged, I can choose to destroy the entire house. At that time, without the protection of Jiuquan Yin 1 Acupoint, I don't know if your soul will continue to be nourished. ”

Mr. Li said angrily: "You are really amazing. But I also tell you, if you don't agree to this condition, then I can't guarantee that what I say is true, even if I say everything under your coercion. ”

Chen Wusheng thought for a while and said, "You can talk about it first, what are the conditions." “

"Don't worry, I just want you to help me protect someone, I think it's a breeze for you."

In connection with some of the conversations just now, Chen Wusheng suddenly thought of a seemingly incredible possibility in his mind. Then he nodded in agreement.

"I can promise you terms, if only to protect the safety of one person."

"Good. I believe you. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"

"I don't think you're that kind of person."

"I don't know where you got the courage to trust me, but you can tell your story."

Mr. Li took a deep breath, then lit a cigarette without moving, his face full of memories.

"More than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, what a waste of time! At that time, Hong Kong's economy was in a depression, and our family was even more impoverished. A family of three was crammed into a small dilapidated house, and when it rained, it rained heavily outside and it rained lightly inside the house. I have a younger sister who also died of a minor illness that I couldn't afford to treat. ”

Recalling that unsightly past, Mr. Li's expression also dimmed.

Chen Wusheng did not answer, more than 30 years ago was 1960, even in Hong Kong, people living a hard life are everywhere.

However, some things may not be exactly the same as the history that Chen Wusheng knows, after all, it is not the real world. For example, the ten years of the Cultural Revolution in the mainland have not necessarily been experienced by the world.

"But one night, my father suddenly chattered and told my mother that our Li family would soon become the richest family and would be able to live a good life.

At that time, my mother and I were very curious and asked him what was going on, but my father refused to elaborate further.

In the next few days, he was the same, saying that our family was going to get rich, and he didn't do anything all day. But in reality, the life of the family has not changed at all. Until one day, my mother did not leave a word and left this poor family.

That day, my father hid in his room alone and cried all night. I'm also having a hard time. But at that time, I didn't understand what my mother's departure meant.

Early the next morning, my father called me into my room. I saw that his eyes were still red and swollen. The expression is very serious.

"Son, you must be very strange these days, why do I keep saying that our Li family is going to get rich, but in fact nothing has happened."

I looked at my father timidly. Actually, I'm used to it these days. I thought it was just my father's words to comfort me and my mother.

"Actually, it's all because I found this in the relics left by your grandfather."

The father pulled out a worn-out piece of parchment from his pocket.

I took it and it was written in words that I couldn't read.

"This kind of writing, your grandfather taught me before. At the time I didn't understand what he meant, until I found out about the parchment. After reading the above record, I realized that he was teaching the writing of the underworld. And what is recorded above is a secret method of making a deal with the Nether Ghost King. “

"The Nether Demon King?" I was surprised to hear such an unbelievable term.

"Yes. The Nether King. If the above is true, then through this secret method, the user can enjoy prosperity and wealth while he is alive. But on the other hand, it is also subject to a life-consuming curse. The user of this secret method must not have lived to be forty years old. The user's descendants will have a reduced lifespan of 12 years per generation. Until the entire family finally became extinct. The dead soul will become the servants of the Nether King, serving him.

"Father, you even believe such a thing?" I almost thought that my father was insane because my mother was gone.

"It doesn't matter anymore whether you believe it or not. Before I called you in, I had already used this secret method to express my wishes to the Nether Demon King. If it's true. Then we will soon be developed. But we won't live for a few more years. “

Looking at my father's serious appearance, I don't know what to say. But I don't believe that in my heart.

"Sounds incredible." Chen Wusheng sighed.
