Chapter 43: The Yin Tower
Since Qingzi planted a corpse on my body in the tomb in Southern Xinjiang, my life grid has been divided into three points by me, Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan, and now only one-third of the original life grid is left.
The life character is sometimes referred to as the life bone. I once heard the third uncle say that there is a kind of bone fortune-telling in the world, which is called the fortune bone, which is said to have been created by Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty. My life grid is divided into three points, which will inevitably lead to the lightening of my life bones. Folklore has it that people with light lives are prone to ghosts.
In fact, according to our industry, people with light lives will inevitably have weak yang energy, and people like me who have lost two-thirds of their lives will inevitably be haunted by yin qi, and they are neither human nor ghost. As soon as I entered this Yongchang District, I immediately noticed that the level of Yin Qi in this place was extremely strange.
"Most of the smaller houses here can be bought for seventy or eighty thousand, if you really want it, maybe you can press it down even more with me in the future." Old man Qian didn't notice my abnormality, and was still pointing me out some people who were interested in selling.
The price is still quite impressive. Although this place is a bit gloomy, it is okay to live here with so many people, and I don't think there will be any problems in coming. Thinking about it further, even if there is really something to do, Qingzi's ruined woman is not a yin patrolman, and she will be there if something happens.
I followed the old man Qian to see a few houses, a few of them are quite to my liking, although the house is old, but there is also a two-bedroom, plus a small living room and kitchen, two people can barely live.
When she got home and talked to Qingzi, she didn't say anything, so she made an appointment with Old Man Qian, and took Qingzi to see it again the next day, and if it was suitable, she would buy the house on the spot.
However, the next day, things turned out completely from what I expected. When the woman Qingzi didn't go, she said whatever she wanted, but when she went to see the house, she vetoed everything. All in all, she is in a word, how can people live in such a house?
Old man Qian and I looked at each other, and Old Man Qian pulled me aside and asked me in private: "This little girl is so big, who is this?" ”
I said it was my sister.
Old man Qian shook his head and said, "I really didn't see that you two are sisters and brothers, and your temperament is too different." ”
This fucking is my temperament is more earthy! I didn't bother to pay attention to him at all. I am very depressed now, seeing that the few houses I was optimistic about yesterday were vetoed by this dead woman one by one, I was anxious like a cat's claw, so I asked the old man Qian if there was a higher house.
Old man Qian smiled bitterly and said that there are naturally tall houses, but there are no less than 100,000 yuan.
Qingzi thought that the smell in the house was big, and he had already gone outside, so he called impatiently: "Can you go?" ”
I was so anxious that I scolded in my heart, this woman is really hypocritical, I think that in the ancient tombs of southern Xinjiang, I didn't smell like a bunch of dead heads, and I didn't care about the musty smell in this house, and I bought it and cleaned it myself.
But scolding and scolding, I didn't dare to confront her, so I had to hang my head and go out. Old man Qian comforted me in a whisper, saying that he would find me again and let me not worry.
Can I not be in a hurry, according to the momentum of this woman's house picking, how can there be any house here that can make her look at it?
Seeing that I was depressed, Old Man Qian said, "Do you want to go around again?" ”
Aoko didn't speak, and I hung my head and said let's take a look. Qian Lao led me around the neighborhood again, I kept thinking along the way, how to make the woman settle, just thinking a little preoccupied, suddenly heard Qingzi who was following behind suddenly said: "What is that house?" ”
I followed her gaze and saw that in a low house, there was a small two-story western-style building with a single courtyard standing in the middle, with red bricks and black tiles, and a small wrought iron balcony. At first glance, it looks like a crowd of chickens in a group of houses.
"This ......" As soon as Old Man Qian saw the small western-style building, his face immediately changed, and he turned a little pale.
At first, I thought it was too expensive, but when I thought about it, I didn't think it was right, and the old man's expression was clearly with some kind of deep fear.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was anything special about this house, so I asked, "What's wrong with this house?" ”
Old man Qian glanced at me and said with a wry smile: "Don't touch this house, this is a murderous house!" ”
I immediately became interested: "Is this house haunted?" ”
Old man Qian snorted and said, "It's a lot of trouble, in the past few decades, I don't know how many stupid people who don't believe in evil have died in it!" ”
"Is it so evil?" I have been following my third uncle to make a living as a dead man since I was a child, and of course I have encountered many haunted so-called spirit houses, some of which are indeed particularly evil and cannot be explained by common sense. Some of them are so fierce that they can really kill people.
I took another look, and from the outside, there didn't seem to be anything strange about the room. However, this kind of evil place, we can naturally avoid it, and urged the old man Qian to say: "Let's go quickly, don't provoke unclean things." ”
Old man Qian thought so, so he wanted to take us away, but the woman Qingzi was out of the moth again, stood there and looked at the house and said, "Buy this house." ”
I almost thought that I was hallucinating in my ears, and Old Man Qian also looked at me with a blank expression.
"We can't afford this house." I quickly found a reason. Is this a haunted house? Is this going to be a dead person? Even if I could afford it, I would never buy it!
"It's not a good sale." Old man Qian said, "As long as it can be sold, the owner of this house may be willing to give it away for nothing." However, this house is really fierce, don't believe it. ”
Qingzi said coldly: "That's it." After saying that, he turned his head and went back with his skirt fluttering.
It took me a long time to wake up and ask, "How much can I buy this house?" ”
Old man Qian looked at me hesitantly and said, "Do you really want to buy it?" If you live in this house, you have to die! ”
I nodded indifferently, this dead woman has spoken, what else can I do. Not to mention a haunted house, even if it's a dead man's pit, you have to jump into it.
When the old man Qian saw that I insisted on buying it, he sighed, took me back to the store, and asked me to sit in it for a while, and he went to the owner of the house to inquire. I drank a few sips of water, ate a few pastries, sat for a while, and then saw the old man come back from outside in a hurry.
This guy is worthy of being an old oilman who has taken root in this pool city for decades, and his connections are very hard, and after this trip, things will be done quickly. It is said that when the owner heard that someone wanted to buy it, he didn't say a word, and he just wanted to give it away for nothing. But later, in order to make this house more completely cut off from him, he set a price of 10,000 yuan.
The owner of the house was in a hurry, and met with me that afternoon and transferred the property in his name. This person's surname is Chen, and the old man Qian calls him Boss Chen, in his fifties, white and fat, smiling all the way, obviously it was this murderous mansion that made him leave a boulder that weighed on his heart.
Although I have some reluctance in my heart, after all, I bought such a big house with a mere 10,000 yuan, and in addition to worrying, I am still a little lucky, after all, this is also a big bargain.
After Boss Chen left, Old Man Qian shook his head again and again, and said to me in private: "You little guy is also bold, and this house is also inhabited by people?" Don't lose your life because you're greedy! ”
I asked him what the hell was going on in this haunted house.
Old man Qian glared at a pair of old eyes and said, "You young people! I don't even know the origin of this murderous house, so I dare to buy it! Your sister is too, so is she so ignorant! ”
I couldn't agree more: "You're right, my sister is so ignorant!" ”
Old man Qian glanced at me, didn't know what to say for a while, sighed, and told me about this house.
This has to start more than 50 years ago, when the Yongchang District was still a very popular place, and there was a large fur market in the middle, and many merchants from all over the country came to operate here. Old man Qian's ancestors were from Shandong, and because he fled and settled here, he was still a seven or eight-year-old child.
He has a little uncle at home, who happened to graduate from the police academy not long ago, and was assigned here to be a criminal policeman. One night in the summer of that year, he was on duty at the bureau when he suddenly received a phone call. The sound was so strange that it was inaudible to the male or female, and there was a great cacophony in the background. It took a lot of effort for the little uncle to barely hear that someone had reported the case, saying that someone had died in the family and asked them to come quickly.
