8. The murderous corpse knocks on the door

It all started that night three days ago.

That night, Jia Gongzi returned home from entertainment, tired and drunk, and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Someone was slapping the gate of Jiafu vigorously.

The servant guarding the courtyard asked in a daze, and got up and carried the lantern to inspect it. Just as he was about to ask, the knocker slammed the door in a frenzy as if he had suddenly gone mad.

It's really a bump. The latch creaked, and on the door panel, it seemed as if there were ten steel claws scratching at the same time.

The movement was so great that in a short time the courtyard was filled with awakened servants. A group of people looked at each other with oil lamps, sticks, and lanterns, and finally waited for the owner, who was only dressed in a cloak and carrying a sword, into the courtyard.

Jia Gongzi pulled out his sword and shouted, "What a person! ”

When he landed, the claws scratched the door louder.

A domestic servant nested in the corner with a broom, and Jia Gongzi pointed at him, "You climb up and look outside." ”

The servant didn't dare to disobey, his face was pale, and while crawling, he looked back at Qin Gongzi in embarrassment, only to be urged impatiently.

In the end, he trembled and put his hands on the eaves, probed, and after only one glance, he fell headfirst down with a "bang".

Jia Gongzi said: "He said that the one who knocked on the door was a monster in a shroud." Covered in blood, not a living man. ”

Hearing this, Lan Jiu Ge and Jiang Yiyao glanced at each other. Lan Sichai said: "Master Jia, don't you have a more detailed description?" ”

Jia Gongzi is not a person from the Xuanmen, and he found the right person by mistake, but he only knew that the few people in front of him were from this way, and he didn't know his identity. But although these people are young, their every move is quite graceful, so they dare not slack off, and said: "No, that stupid servant is timid, and he was stunned when he saw it, and I pinched him for a long time before I woke him up, and I still expect him to see clearly and carefully." ”

Jiang Yiyao said, "Let me ask." ”

Jia Gongzi said, "Excuse me." ”

Jiang Yiyao said: "Master Jia, at that time, you only let others watch it, didn't you watch it yourself?" ”

"Nope."

"It's a pity."

"What's the pity?"

Jiang Yiyao said: "According to what you said, the one who found the door of your house was a murderous corpse. Nine times out of ten, the murderous corpse came to someone. If you look at it, you might find that it's an old acquaintance. ”

Jia Gongzi said: "Maybe I am the eleventual twelve." Besides, even if it's for someone, it doesn't have to be me. ”

Jiang Yiyao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Jia Gongzi continued: "That thing has been grabbing the door until dawn, and when I go out to see it in the morning, the gate of my house has been changed beyond recognition." ”

A few people walked around the door, carefully observing. I saw that on the gate of Jiafu, there were hundreds of terrible scratches all over the place, and Sen Senran was a group of five, a few feet long, and a few inches short, which was really unrecognizable. Although there must be traces of human hands, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a living person's fingernails can scratch it.

Jia Gongzi said: "To get back to the point, a few sons are from the Xuanmen, can there be a way to expel this evil thing?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge said, "No need." ”

Lan Sichai was quite strange, but he didn't say much. Jia Gongzi also felt strange, and asked rhetorically, "Is it necessary?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge affirmed: "No need. The so-called 'house', from the moment it was completed and owned by people, had the mission of sheltering from the wind and rain and defending against foreign objects. The door of the house is a natural barrier, which can not only block people, but also prevent non-people. Since you are the ruler of this house, then as long as you do not open your mouth or invite evil spirits to come in, they cannot invade. Judging from the evil aura remaining on this gate, the one who found Gongzi's mansion is not a fierce ghost that is rare in a hundred years, and the first layer of doors is enough to resist. ”

Jia Gongzi was skeptical: "Is it really so powerful?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge said, "Seriously." Moreover, in fact, the threshold is also a barrier. Unless this corpse has amazing leg strength before it is alive and jumps three feet high, otherwise, even if the door is wide open, it will not be able to jump in. ”

Jia Gongzi was still not at ease, and said, "Is there nothing else I need to buy?" For example, the town house talisman, the sword to ward off evil spirits and the like. In the next wish to pay a lot of money, money is not an issue. ”

Jiang Yiyao said: "Change the latch with a new door." ”

“……”

Seeing that Jia Gongzi looked incredulous, as if he felt that this proposal was perfunctory, Lan Jiu Ge said: "It's up to you whether to change it or not, Jia Gongzi will do it himself." If you have any follow-up, please feel free to contact us again. ”

Leaving Jiafu, Lan Si thought about it again and again, but still couldn't help but say: "Jiuge, Jiang Gongzi, then don't you care about Qin Gongzi's family like this?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge said: "Don't worry. Then he smiled and said, "Didn't you think I was talking nonsense just now?" ”

Lan Si hurriedly said: "How can there be! Ahem, that's not what I meant. I want to say that although the door of the house does have the effect of resisting evil spirits, but the door is about to fall apart, and not a single talisman will be given, will it really be fine? ”

Lan Jiu Ge said strangely: "Do you need to say this? ”

Lan Sichai: "Oh......"

Lan Jiuge: "Of course there will be something. “

Lan Sichai: "Huh? Why? ”

Lan Jiu Ge said: "Because, that Jia Gongzi lied. ”

Jiang Yiyao nodded in agreement. Lan Sichai was slightly stunned: "How can you tell?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge said: "I only saw this Jia Gongzi once, and I don't dare to say that I can assert eight or nine times out of ten, but this person ......" After thinking about it, he added: "Sex is stubborn and cold. In short, not a timid person. It was a strange night, but according to what he described, it was not so strange that it could scare people to lose their minds, and it was difficult for him to climb up the eaves to look outside? ”

Lan Si said: "But he insisted that he didn't even look at ......"

Lan Jiu Ge said, "Yes." If the door of your house is slammed in the middle of the night, everyone is curious, and you are not small, so it is normal for you to take a sneak peek. Isn't it strange that you haven't seen it? ”

Jiang Yiyao said: "I agree with it all." ”

Lan Jiu Ge smiled again, touched his chin and said, "Moreover, the scratches left on the gate by the murderous corpse are scary to look at, but the evil qi and blood qi are not heavy, it definitely did not come to the door to kill people and take revenge, I can be sure of this." So what the hell is going on, we have to see again. ”

At the end, he added: "This is what I discussed with Yi Yao. ”

Lan Si chased: "So, what do you mean is that this Jia Gongzi is unwilling to tell the truth, so you just ignore him and scare him?" ”

Lan Jiu Ge said, "Yes." Look, the latch will last two days at most. Yi Yao asked him to change to a new one, this is a very real conscience suggestion, so Jia Gongzi didn't care about it. But if he really concealed anything important, even if he changed ten new latches, it would be useless. Sooner or later, it will come back again. ”
