The Ding family migrated here about three generations ago, and their ancestral home is Dongyang, Zhejiang, and the house is a common adobe house in the local area, with a total of two floors, of which the second floor is mainly made of wood, and the roof is a small black tile common in the Jiangnan area. ：

One of the advantages of this type of house is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, especially in summer, and the back of the house is mossy because the adobe absorbs water. This house is some years old, originally built according to the most common ancestral hall style in the Jinhua area, and later demolished part of it, and now only one-third of what is left is that year.

The Ding family has a large population, and everyone is crowded together, and now the conditions are slightly better and everyone has moved out, leaving a huge house for Ding Li alone. This kind of room is a little cloudy even during the day, and because of the patio structure, the sunlight is not transparent. There is a small pavilion in the center of the house, and in the middle of the pavilion is a well, and a movable stone table has been made on the well, and it is very narrow to drink tea and enjoy the cool on this stone table in summer.

Pushing open the wooden door with the coupling, even now this scale still makes several of them feel the scale of the house back then, and the first word that jumped out of Cha Wenbin's heart was: deep!

It was a thick fog, and everywhere the light could sweep through the mottled walls, only a forty-watt incandescent lamp in the kitchen gave a hazy yellow glow. The yard was a mess, with tables, chairs, benches, and pots and paper money scattered everywhere, traces of last night's panic.

A few people stood at the door, and Little Bucktooth was the first to rush in because of curiosity. Just as his toes crossed the threshold, he saw a black shadow "whoosh" past him, so frightened that he jumped backwards and almost knocked down Chaozi.

Chaozi was just about to scold, but Xiao Luoya said loudly: "There's something in there......"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and Chaozi pressed the head of the little bucktooth back, poked in and asked, "What's there?" ”

Xiao Bucktooth simply stood behind Cha Wenbin and grabbed his clothes tightly and said, "No, I didn't see clearly, I ran past my heels,, this ghost place is really scary." ”

Cha Wenbin gently pulled Chaozi out, took out the compass and stood at the position of the gate to check it, and the needle of the compass shook slightly a few times before staying in the position of the mourning hall.

Putting away the compass, Cha Wenbin didn't drag it out, and directly pulled out the seven-star sword and pinched it in his hand and said, "Pay attention, this place is a little unclean." ”

Stretched into the Qiankun bag, touched a handful of tea mixed rice, and threw it into the house and shouted: "Yin and Yang are separated, relatives come to send each other, the four ghosts and five gods do not avoid, and the three clear gather to shine on the gods!" This is called a newspaper number, which means that the knowledgeable person is coming, and the things in it should not be too ignorant.

Several people followed him in, and Cha Wenbin did not go towards the mourning hall, but walked under the pavilion first.

"There's something interesting about this house. You see, when we came over, it was an uphill road that led to this door, looking at the road, it was only repaired in the past few years, and the most taboo thing at the door of the house was that there was a turnaround road or uphill road. Cha Wenbin gestured such an analogy, and then said: "This well is called the Dragon Vein Well, in the past, only large families could afford to dig it, and the water is pneumatic, and there is such a well in the center, at least it can shelter the third generation of descendants." ”

Chaozi pointed to the spirit hall and said, "Didn't you say that this Ding Li was just in the third life, and the good luck was over so soon?" ”

"Unless the well is dry or filled, the dragon vein will be eaten back as soon as it is broken, and the dragon vein is not afraid that it will not be found, but that it will not be able to hold it. For thousands of years, the emperors of which dynasty did not build their ancestral tombs on the dragon veins, everyone wanted a country for all generations, and the longest was only 600 years. One is because the dragon vein will be depleted, and the other is because something makes the dragon die, the royal dragon vein is broken, the country changes hands, and the ordinary people's dragon vein is gone, the family is ruined. ”

"What kind of feng shui treasure is the rich man desperately looking for to bury?"

"There are no good things for you to occupy alone, so I suggest finding a good cave, the dragon's den is not something that ordinary people can sit on."

Cha Wenbin bent down on the ground and picked up a stone and threw it into the well, with a "snap", which was the impact between the stones and the stones. "Sure enough, the water here has dried up, and if I'm right, it must have dried up during the construction of this road. The road sloped downward, taking away the earth's qi and draining the dragon's life. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a black shadow flashed from their feet again, this time Chaozi also saw it, it was the old scout, the spotlight in his hand immediately captured the direction of the black shadow, and everyone's eyes fell on the gate of the Ding family, that is, the location of the mourning hall.

Through the mountain fog, a pair of green eyes met them, and Chaozi reached for the dagger stuck in his shoe, which he was fifty percent sure of shooting with a throwing knife.

"A damn old cat." Before Cha Wenbin could speak, Chaozi's wrist flicked, and a cold light shot straight into the eyes. There was a "whoosh", and the dagger sank into the wooden threshold for half a blade, but the pair of eyes "meowed" before the dagger arrived.

The blow missed, and Cha Wenbin shouted: "Chase, don't let that animal touch the corpse." ”

Several people hurriedly rushed to the mourning hall, and when they reached the door, they saw that the pair of eyes were standing on the desk where the tribute was originally placed.

"Damn, let you run again!" Chaozi pulled out the dagger and was about to shoot again, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "Don't move, if you let it jump behind, it is very likely to get a corpse." ”

It is said that the cat has nine lives, when it touches the corpse, one of the lives on the body will be sucked away by the corpse, thus forming a corpse, the modern scientific explanation is that the cat has a strong bioelectricity, when it comes into contact with the dead corpse, it will cause the already stiff corpse to generate electricity and cause muscle twitches. In itself, it has a psychic effect. In the animal kingdom, cats, especially black cats, are always unconsciously associated with fear, which come and go without a trace, accustomed to darkness and solitude, and are regarded as ominous in both the East and the West.

The cat didn't seem to be afraid of so many people, but looked at them directly, as if he wanted to make a contest.

Cha Wenbin motioned for a few people to disperse slowly, Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong moved to the back of the corpse, ready to copy its back road at any time, and Dashan and Xiao Bucktooth were in charge of both sides. If you want to catch a live cat with your bare hands, this difficulty is comparable to Cha Wenbin's next underworld.

At this time, Cha Wenbin was only an arm's length away from the cat, and the cat was in a half-squatting state, looking at him with its head tilted. Cha Wenbin saw the opportunity, picked up the Qiankun bag in his hand and pounced forward, half of the cat's body had already entered, and suddenly the cat monster screamed and shot out again, turned around and jumped above the corpse.

Seeing that the cat was about to land on Ding Li's face, suddenly a wooden stick swept over, and with a "snap", the black cat was slammed into the wall and then fell to the ground. After a scream, the cat sped to the rear ladder leading to the second floor, and disappeared into the darkness.

The person who shot turned out to be Dashan, this black cat was smashed by him like a baseball just now, this cat had at least seven of his nine lives fanned off at once, and his strength was so great.

Chaozi also wanted to chase to the second floor but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "A brute is not in a hurry, you first turn on the electricity here, if it is so dark, it will attract wild ghosts." ”

The switch of the electric light is on the wall pillar next to it, and the old houses used to make pillars of thick wood, and a thread hangs down the pillar, and this line is the light. Zhuo Xiong pulled it casually, and the electric light "snapped" and lit up.

Zhuo Xiong checked it and said, "This lamp is not broken, but someone pulled the light." ”

Who would suddenly turn off the lights while they were doing something? If it was really done by people, then this prank would be too big!

The inside of the house was even worse than the outside, Ding Li's body was half hanging outside, the ground was covered with paper money with footprints, incense ash and tributes were scattered all over the ground, the bowl where the sleeping lamp was placed had long been broken, and there were still dried blood stains on the ground.

Cha Wenbin frowned and said, "Let's clean it up briefly, don't touch the corpse first." ”

With the lamp, the fear was naturally reduced by half, and several people began to find a broom to dry, taking advantage of this effort, Cha Wenbin found the oil bowl again and put it under it to light the sleeping lamp, and he went to the northwest corner of the house, that is, the staircase where the cat had just gone up and lit a candle.

Just as he was about to turn around after lighting the candle, the room fell into darkness again, and Chaozi scolded: "Who the turned off the lights, trying to scare people to death!" ”

Before Cha Wenbin could speak, he only felt something behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the candle he had just lit had also been extinguished
