Chapter 1: Strange Work
Huang Jun passed through a dark door and followed an old man with a white beard to an old wooden hut that smelled damp and unpleasant, like a tomb that had been sealed for a thousand years, suddenly exposed to the sun and washed out of it. Then, Huang Jun was told that an extremely important guest would be here to receive him. Hell, how can there be such a ghost place in this bustling city, and there is such a strange old man, what is even more unbelievable is that there will be a so-called "important guest" who wants to meet Huang Jun here. How can there be such a guest? Huang Jun didn't know what was wrong with him, so he followed him here in a daze.
It's been a whole month since he came to this city, and one day, Huang Jun suddenly found a very interesting advertisement: "Recruit Taoist priests, requirements; With more than four years of Taoist meditation experience, he is proficient in the study of charms and spells, and can basically exorcise ghosts. If you are interested, please call 33864579, and make an appointment to meet, this advertisement will be valid for a long time. The paper of the advertisement is still very new, which means that the advertisement has not been posted for a long time, and of course, Huang Jun does not think that many people will take such a shocking advertisement seriously. However, Huang Jun was interested, so Huang Jun met this white-bearded old man inexplicably, he looked at Huang Jun with suspicion for a long time, and Huang Jun felt furious when he saw it, and then he didn't say a word, just took Huang Jun to this ghost place, and then dropped such a damn sentence and left.
Now, in this house, Huang Jun was left alone, Huang Jun stayed there like a fool for about half an hour, no one, an hour, still no one, an hour and a half, except for the gust of wind outside the door beating the window indiscriminately, there was still no one. Huang Jun felt more and more bad in his heart. Beginning to wonder if this was a hoax or if someone was trying to kidnap him? It's ridiculous that I've never even seen a kidnapper.
Just as Huang Jun was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came: "Is it you who Lao Ding found?" ”
Huang Jun turned his head and saw a fashionably dressed woman looking at him coldly.
"Not bad," Huang Jun replied.
"Do you know what we're asking for?" She looked at Huang Jun with distrust.
"You know, or don't you believe me?" Huang Jun replied with a smile.
"Believe, so, please come with me," she said in a strange tone.
Huang Jun didn't make a sound, but quietly used a stealth technique to quietly come to her side, and then suddenly showed his figure and said, "Then please lead the way."
She seemed to be frightened, her body trembled and she stepped back, and asked in a panic, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Let's go, I just want to prove my identity, there is no malice." Huang Jun comforted her with a smile.
She looked at Huang Jun and nodded, "It's that I underestimated you, please come here, please."
Huang Jun followed her to an antiquely decorated room, surrounded by dragons and phoenixes, quite the style of a large family in ancient times. It's just that Huang Jun looked down at his outfit and really felt very awkward. Just imagine, how strange it must be for modern people to wear suits and break into the palace of King Qin.
"I won't say much nonsense, let's get straight to the point. Well, a month ago, my father died, and I suspected that someone had murdered him, but I couldn't find any evidence for the time being, so I wanted you to check it for me," the woman said.
"You should call the police for this"
"No, the police can't handle this matter, I suspect it wasn't the person who killed him"
"You think it's a ghost?"
"It doesn't have to be a ghost, and I don't know what it is, so that's why I posted that ad."
"It's really special, have you ever thought that I was here to cheat money? Or do you think someone would take that kind of ad seriously? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course I thought that there are only two kinds of people who will come to us after reading that advertisement, one is a liar and the other is a real Taoist priest. ”
"Oh, what kind of person do you think I'm in?" Huang Jun also smiled
"At first I thought you were a liar, but now I think you're still a liar," the woman said in a mocking tone.
"What would you do with a liar?"
"See that house? There's really a ghost in there, and if it's a liar, I'll throw him in," the woman said proudly.
"Are you going to throw me in, then?"
"No, because you've proven what it takes to get the job done"
"But I'm really not a Taoist priest, and I really want to come here to get some money, because I'm really short of money right now."
"We don't care if you are a real Taoist priest, we can give you money if you want to, but it depends on your performance," the woman said expressionlessly.
"Okay, deal." Huang Jun happily responded. At least, I don't have to live on the streets for the time being.
"I hope you can prove that we believe you are right, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences," the woman said coldly.
"Otherwise, will you let the ghost bite me? Hehe, I'm not afraid, but before that, you should at least arrange for me to have a hearty dinner, and then match me with a decent set of clothes, I want to go out like this, I'm afraid I won't find anything" Huang Jun said with a smile.
The woman glanced at Huang Jun for a long time, and said, "Yes", then stood up and walked to the inner room, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"May I ask, your name? After all, I can't always call you feed, right?" said Huang Jun to her angrily.
The cold voice of "Phoenix Butterfly" came out of the darkness.
Now, Huang Jun is standing on the lively street, and the one who accompanies Huang Jun is the Miss Phoenix Butterfly. She led Huang Jun to a building, and they walked into a luxurious hall, and after sitting down, she closed the door. Huang Jun sat down to himself and spread his hands at her. Signal for her to start.
"Aren't you going to drink something?" She asked.
"No, if you start earlier, you can get the money earlier, let's not waste time" Huang Jun waved his hand.
She glanced at Huang Jun and began to speak. "About three months ago, my father suddenly called me to my bed and told me that he was going to die a month later, on June 25. Several of us sisters felt that it was very sudden, because my father, who was usually a very optimistic person, could not have said such a thing. ”
"But he did say it," Huang said
"yes, that's it, that's what I think is weird. At that time, I asked my father why, and he said that he didn't know, but all of a sudden, as if he knew, as if someone was telling him softly in his heart, but who was it? He didn't know, or there was no such person, but for a very mysterious reason, he naturally knew."
"And then on what day did your father really die?"
"Why else would I invite you to come? I remember that day the weather was fine, the sun was already hanging in the sky, and when we got up, we went to call my father to dinner, but when I went to his room, I found that he had been dead for a long time."
"I wonder if your father suddenly fell ill, like a cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, or something, are you sure? Although I would love to have a job to earn some money now, I don't want to be told by you after a long day of work that all this is just a fuss and not give me a penny, and then I am afraid that I will want to cry without tears," Huang Jun said with a smile.
Feng Die glanced at Huang Jun and said, "Don't worry, no matter whether the thing works out or not, we will pay you, but first, you have to give us a reasonable explanation, that is, you must give us a clear investigation of the whole incident." ”
"Oh? Continue," Huang Jun made a gesture
"My father's health has always been very good, and there will definitely be no problems like the ones you just mentioned, and besides, I have asked a professional doctor to do an examination, and nothing abnormal has been found."
"You mean to say that your father died of natural causes?"
"At least that's what the doctor said, but I don't believe it."
"Why?"
Feng Die hesitated for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, "Because my grandfather, my brother, and my uncle also died like this, I don't believe that there is such a coincidence in this world."
"Oh? Do you mean that they knew they were going to die a month before they died, and that they didn't have any reason to die beforehand? ”
"It's true, my grandfather was in a car accident while shopping for groceries on the street. My brother was hacked to death when he was 20 years old, and my uncle was even more strange, when he got up in the morning to brush his teeth, he died inexplicably in a pot. I can't find any reason for it."
"In other words, the only thing they have in common is that they knew about their death a month before they died, can I understand that?"
"Yes, actually, don't you think it's strange?"
"It's not strange at all, it's normal. A great man once said that coincidence is the basis for the functioning of this world, and that chance determines the essence of life. ”
Feng Die glanced at Huang Jun and said, "If your explanation is like this, I don't think we need to talk about it."
Huang Jun laughed and hurriedly interrupted her: "Don't, hehe, although I know a little spell, but to be honest, I don't believe in any ghosts in this world at all, but in order to make a living, I believe it is not okay today?" Well, don't be angry, miss, I apologize, I mean, I think your suspicions are very reasonable. ”
Feng Die was amused by Huang Jun, "I can't see that you are quite a person who can see the wind and make camels, so where are you going to start?" ”
"First of all, you have to give me freedom, that is, freedom to go in and out of all the places in your house"
"No problem"
"And then, I want you, including all the people in your family, to cooperate with me, I mean, to answer all the questions that interest me and provide everything I need."
"No problem"
"Alright, it's over, now you should lead me into your house, and then give me a quiet and comfortable room, and boil a basin of hot water, so that I can sleep well"
Feng Die looked at Huang Jun strangely and said, "I'm wondering, should I believe you?" ”
Huang Jun looked at her and smiled proudly: "Do you still have others to believe now?" ”
"It seems that there is no more"
"All, you don't have a choice, no choice means that you can only have one choice, and that is to believe me, do you have any questions?"
"I wonder if I should wait any longer, or if I have another choice?" Feng Die said angrily.
"Then you wait slowly, I'll see if there is another unlucky guy like me, who came out and couldn't find a job, spent all his money, and waited for the rice to get in trouble. And then I happened to see your advertisement, and then I was as simple as me, believing in the nonsense in the advertisement, and even more coincidentally, he happened to be a little bit of a spell, hehe, miss, why don't we wait? Huang Jun stared at her with a smile.
"Okay, I'll surrender, let's go," Feng Die said weakly.
When they came to the old house before, although the decoration was antique, Huang Jun felt very bad, because Huang Jun felt that he had come to an open tomb, and there was a group of strange spirits or zombies and furniture in the tomb that had been living normally for hundreds of years.
"Okay, from today onwards, Mr. Huang is going to live here for a while, and during this time, you have to treat him like me, do you hear clearly?" Butterfly said to a few servants.
"Hello Mr. Huang." They shouted at Huang Jun together.
Huang Jun smiled and pulled Feng Die aside, "What are you doing/You want to make feudal restoration?" What era is it now, is your family still doing this? ”
"This is the rule of my family, you only need to obey the task, and you don't need to ask about the rest." Feng Die replied coldly.
"Okay, okay, I don't ask, I'm going to sleep, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
After speaking, Huang Jun walked straight away, and under the guidance of the servant, he came to the room and fell asleep. More than a month of wind and dust, Huang Jun tossed enough, life is really a very wonderful thing, a few hours ago, Huang Jun was still on the side of the road, but a few hours later Huang Jun came to his current position, enjoying the service of his subordinates.
When Huang Jun woke up, the sun had already set, and the whole house was lit up with snow-white lights. After Huang Jun opened his eyes, his spirit had fully recovered. Now it's time for Huang Jun to think about his next steps. Obviously, because of a moment of curiosity, Huang Jun got into a big trouble, and Huang Jun didn't know how big the trouble was, but he could be sure that this matter was definitely not as simple as Feng Die said.
All the men in the family died inexplicably, and they even knew the date so clearly, other than that, there were no signs, no clues, just based on her sentence: "I suspect it wasn't done by someone", did Huang Jun go to risk his life in a daze? If Huang Jun really got into it, he would be really stupid. So what now? Do you want to seriously help her check it out, or find an excuse to slip away? Huang Jun thought about it and hesitated. Then Huang Jun raised his head, because it was already dark, and Huang Jun had just woken up, and the room had not had time to light the light, Huang Jun was looking for a switch, at this time, Huang Jun found a thin black shadow in the dark, standing in front of Huang Jun, motionless. Huang Jun wiped Huang Jun's eyes, that's right, it's a black shadow, standing in front of Huang Jun, this shadow can be vaguely recognized in the dark like ink sweat, but because it's night, and its own color is black, it looks very inconspicuous, and if you don't pay attention, you will probably ignore it. Huang Jun quickly pressed the switch, and the light suddenly turned on, Huang Jun felt a gust of wind drift by, and then the black shadow disappeared. The room was empty and there was nothing. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely think that everything just now was an illusion, but Huang Jun saw it clearly, but only saw it clearly, and it was a pair of women's feet that flew out of the window in the end. Moreover, according to Huang Jun, those feet are also very abnormal, to be precise, because the feet are too small, even as a woman's footsteps are too small. It was so small that Huang Jun couldn't believe it. So Huang Jun shouted hysterically: "Ghost! ”
This cry made the whole house start to become lively, and immediately, footsteps sounded from all directions, and all the people in this courtyard ran into Huang Jun's room, including Feng Die. Feng Die changed into a red dress, which matched this mansion very well, and she looked at Huang Jun coldly.
"What's the ghost called? Where the hell did it come from? Even if there are ghosts, why am I looking for you? Do you want me to teach you this? How can there be a ghost hunter who is frightened by a ghost and called a ghost, how can this be true? ”
"I, I, I just had a nightmare, scream, can't you? Besides, although I know some small spells, I am also an undergraduate with a four-year college education, how can I believe such a thing? As soon as I said there were ghosts, you all ran over, you were so stupid, have you always been so suspicious? Not to be outdone, Huang Jun retorted.
"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you, anyway, you just need to remember what I'm looking for you for." Phoenix Butterfly Road.
After a false alarm, everything was calm again. Huang Jun had the opportunity to take a closer look at the house.
"Who used to live in this house?" Huang Jun asked.
"It's my father, how's it going?" Feng Die said blankly.
"What? You, you, you actually let me live in the dead man's room? Huang Jun jumped up.
"What, what a dead man, that's my father, I look up to you, what, have an opinion?" Butterfly's face flushed.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I ask you, who did you see with your father when he died? I mean, some strangers? ”
"Strangers? No, no one entered my father's room early in the morning. Besides, my father has a very strange temper, and we don't dare to disturb him normally, even the servants below also know this truth, and they will never run to his room if they have nothing to do. ”
"So, haven't you ever seen any strangers?"
"Strangers? Stranger, by the way, I remember that day I followed my sister to my father's room to ask him something, when we found out of my father's room a woman in clothes, as if she was very familiar with my father, when we walked over, we found that she was chatting with my father very happily, and then my father saw us coming, and began to lose his temper, and kicked us out, at that time the woman in black clothes was just standing next to her, cold and motionless" Feng Die said thoughtfully.
"Oh? A woman dressed in black? Are her feet very small? ”
"Her feet, don't you say I haven't remembered it, yes, this woman has a pair of very small feet, I was still wondering at the time, how can a woman now have such small feet, but it seems to be a woman with small feet who used to be bound by the old society." Phoenix Butterfly Road. But then he cried out again, "But how do you know? ”
"Hey, don't you look like that, okay? It's going to scare people to death. Really. I know I know, you don't care how I know. How's that, don't you convince me? Huang Jun said with a smile.
"Hmph, you say, how the hell do you know?" She began to chase after her.
"Want me to be honest?"
"Of course, you have to tell the truth"
"Will you believe me when I say it?"
"As long as you tell the truth, I will believe it"
"I told you not to be afraid"
"Jokes, I'll be scared, don't you want to scare me, say it quickly."
Huang Jun paused and said, "When I was sleeping just now, a female ghost told me."
Feng Die suddenly cried out, "Female ghost? No way, how could there be a female ghost in this room? It's a ghost, it can only be a male ghost, bah, bah, the more you talk about it, the more chaotic it becomes, there are no ghosts at all. ”
"I said it, but you don't believe it," Huang Jun stood up and walked outside.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm going outside to watch the moon, of course there are no ghosts in this house, so you can stay here in peace."
Butterfly screamed. "You, you, don't go, wait for me"
