Chapter 11: The Villa with No Touch
It's a pity that even if I really think there is a lot of room for appreciation, I didn't buy this house in the end, but at least I still gained a lot of experience this time. A few days after I got home, I had a minor illness - a cold and fever. I thought I was entangled in something, but this is also an inertial thinking that arises after doing this line of work - suspicious all day long.
After Qin Yiheng saw it, he said that he really had a cold, but after taking the medicine for a few days, he was really fine. The next day, I was approached by a college classmate who heard that I was doing this kind of nonsense and wanted me to come up with an idea. Their family is very wealthy, and they are a big family in the county. My family built a four-story building in the county, the first floor is for office use, the second and third floors are for self-residence, and the fourth floor has been renovated and has been empty. As a result, every night when he slept on the third floor, he could hear the sound of someone walking around in high heels on the fourth floor, and sometimes he could even hear the sound of moving the bed. This classmate was very scared and did not dare to check. And when I dared to go during the day, I didn't find anything. I brought Qin Yiheng over, he took a brief look, and said that it was just that the homeless wild ghost saw that there was no one to live in an empty house here, so he moved in, and there was no malice, and it could be solved by worshipping a god or something. My classmate did so, and sure enough, the voice never came again.
Although this time the matter is small, I understand a truth, the house should not be too long without popularity, otherwise it is easy to be homeless wild ghosts as a residence, which is why we will invite many relatives and friends to eat and strengthen our popularity when we move to a new house, because after all, the house will be empty for a long time from the construction to the decoration of the occupants. Although the ghosts who generally live here do not have the ability to be malicious or hurtful, and even many people still live in the same room with these things, they will still be affected to a greater or lesser extent in the long run.
After solving the matter of his family for this classmate, Qin Yiheng and I got busy, because there were already signs of real estate recovery at that time. Yuan Zhen still has constant news, but there is no too tempting house. Fortunately, after waiting for a few more days, there is a reliable one, which is also a villa, although the price is not low, but Qin Yiheng and I are very interested.
This villa is in a resort. Three floors, the third floor is actually just an attic, and it doesn't have much area. The owner of the villa is the owner of a real estate company and is well-known in the local area. The cause of the incident is also very strange, this boss may have made a lot of ill-gotten gains, and I am also very superstitious, so I have always liked the things that open the light to protect against evil spirits. It stands to reason that these things are always around, and there must be no taboos. But since the boss spent more than 300,000 yuan from Thailand to buy a jade Buddha pendant that is said to be consecrated by a local master, strange things have begun to happen.
First of all, when this boss was on vacation at the resort, he often dreamed that someone was coming to snatch his jade Buddha pendant, and he basically dreamed every night. After a few times, the boss panicked, so he gave the jade pendant to a bodyguard and driver who had been with him for many years. The driver didn't know if he knew about the boss's nightmare, anyway, he put the jade pendant on. Unexpectedly, within a few days, this bodyguard actually committed suicide by swallowing a jade pendant, and died in this villa.
Originally, I didn't want to see this house, firstly, because the price of the villa was too high, and secondly, it was not easy to change hands. Unfortunately, I was really idle during that time, and it was better to have a house to look at than to wait for nothing, so Qin Yiheng and I decided to take a look.
The city where the house is located is not large, and it can be regarded as the bottom of the second-tier city. However, there are wealthy people everywhere, and second-tier cities do not affect these wealthy people to buy luxury homes. The villa area is located on the outskirts of the city, and there is a small golf driving range nearby.
When Qin Yiheng and I arrived, we didn't expect it to be so far, we got off the plane and went to the hotel first, and then took a taxi to this villa area when it was already dark.
Luckily, the boss had been contacted before and he arranged for one of his employees to wait for us. After a brief exchange, it turned out that this employee was not in charge, he was only responsible for showing us around the house and maintaining the price at a price that his boss had previously explained.
So after talking about it for a while, I felt that it was not very reliable. Even if someone dies in the house, the price has not decreased much.
In this way, we don't have any profit to make, and since it's already evening, I don't recommend going to see the property at this time. In case there is anything wrong with the house, we go in so rashly, and we sacrifice in vain.
However, since it was so late, we could only sleep one night at this resort. The price of the room is ridiculously expensive, but there is no way to do it. The next morning, we followed the employee to see the house. The villa is quite artistically decorated, but not as big as I imagined.
From the outside, it looks like there are three floors, but only two floors can actually accommodate people. The third floor is a small attic that can only be entered by a cat's waist, and it can be used to put some miscellaneous items or something.
Qin Yiheng and I went upstairs and downstairs for a turn, he stopped and looked, and I chatted casually with the employee on the side, and the content of the chat revolved around the dead bodyguard. This employee seems to be a relatively real person, but maybe the boss explained something before leaving, and he swallowed it when it came to the bodyguard. After Qin Yiheng finished reading it, I didn't ask anything, so I could only make an appointment with him to talk again, and I withdrew with Qin Yiheng.
When I went out, I asked Qin Yiheng, how do you feel?
Qin Yiheng said, it's good.
I said, "Pretty good, how good?"
Qin Yiheng said, I really can't see anything, but this villa makes people feel very awkward.
When I heard him say this, my heart started to beat faster, but it didn't look like a big problem with his expression, so I asked him what was wrong.
He snorted and said, this villa is so big, but why is there no kitchen?
As soon as he said this, I remembered that when I was walking around the house just now, I really didn't seem to notice if there was a kitchen. But I think this is normal, a holiday villa, you don't have to have a kitchen. There are many high-end restaurants in the resort, and besides, people who come on vacation are here for leisure, so no one wants to cook. As soon as I told Qin Yiheng what I thought, he first nodded, and then began to shake his head.
Indeed, he said, it is normal for a resort to not have a kitchen, and one of the most basic ways for a house to identify yang energy is to see if there is a fire, that is, whether there is a fire for cooking. Modern life is a vague concept, but in ancient times, houses without fires were basically empty. This is more cumbersome to talk about, but to put it simply, there is no smell in this house, so we will find that many supernatural events will happen in the hotel, in fact, this is also the reason. Where there is a human smell, the yang energy will slowly rise, unless there is indeed something dirty, otherwise the generally harmless spirit will be washed away by the human smell.
Qin Yiheng continued, we went there just now, except for the fact that the house is not very human, everything seems to be normal, in this way, the dead bodyguard has no complaints, there are two problems, assuming that the bodyguard did die in that house, then first, the bodyguard died horizontally, and there must be unwillingness. And he had just died, and there was no external interference, and there was no kitchen in this house, so it was impossible for the soul to disperse so quickly; Second, if the bodyguard is really dead end, this is good news for us. However, the boss, as a businessman, should still be mercenary, and it is impossible for him to sell us a house without any problems at a discount. If he has seen it with a master, and the master can't solve it, then we will buy it and dig our own grave.
After speaking, Qin Yiheng looked at me and didn't speak again for a long time. I was a little furious when he looked at me like this, and quickly asked him what he meant.
He said, "Why don't we do an experiment in the evening?"
As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, the two of us have done this kind of experiment too many times, and none of them have passed safely.
Qin Yiheng said, this test is very simple, I don't want to go. After he finished speaking, I thought about it for a moment, he said it so lightly, this time it's all right, right? Anyway, it's not interesting for me to go back alone, so I might as well follow along and see the excitement, so I nodded.
Seeing that I agreed, Qin Yiheng took me to prepare some things briefly.
These things are very common, but I don't understand what they mean when they come together. We went to the supermarket first, Qin Yiheng chose a large porcelain bowl, knocked on his ear and inquired for a long time, and then bought a large handful of chopsticks, and picked them one by one for a long time. Finally, he filled a bowl of water in a porcelain bowl and placed it under the root of the wall outside the window of our room before going to bed. The next day, he carefully brought in the bowl of water and told me that he would see it tonight.
That night, the two of us quietly slipped back to the villa. We walked surprisingly slowly along the way because we were holding this bowl of water, but luckily it was not the season for vacations, and there were no people at the resort.
Qin Yiheng opened a window in the villa and told me that he had left it that day, and told me to go in first, take the bowl, and then climb in.
A few simple movements, I was so tired from this bowl of water that I choked. Because the water is basically flush with the edge of the bowl, Qin Yiheng explained that not a drop can be spilled, so it takes me a lot of physical strength even if I hold it dry.
Turning into the villa, Qin Yiheng became an uncle, let me hold the bowl first, and then he began to scurry around in the villa.
My arm was a little unbearable, so I wanted to put the bowl on the floor. Before my cat could bend down, Qin Yiheng turned around and told me not to put the bowl on the ground. I'm going to have to regain my strength again, which is a test of muscle control. Luckily, I was careful not to spill the water.
By the time Qin Yiheng came over and took over the bowl, my two arms were so numb that I was almost unconscious.
Qin Yiheng took the bowl, also held the bowl step by step, walked to a corner of the villa, gently put the bowl on the ground, and then put a chopstick horizontally on the edge of the bowl, and pulled me to retreat.
On the way back, I realized that there wouldn't be a camera, right? As I walked back, I looked back and forth, but fortunately the security facilities in this villa area were not perfect, and there were only cameras at the intersection of each path, and the process of the two of us entering the house through the window was not filmed.
Nothing was said all night. Before dawn the next day, Qin Yiheng called me up and took me back quietly. Flipping back into the villa, we crouched together next to the bowl. If he doesn't move, I won't dare to move, but I don't know what we're both waiting for.
After more than ten minutes, Qin Yiheng looked at his watch and said to me that the time was almost up, let me pay a little attention, and then I realized that he might be waiting for dawn.
It was dawning fast. I stared intently at the bowl for a long time, looking out the window for a moment, and when I looked back, it was already dawn.
Qin Yiheng also kept frowning and looking at the bowl, but until he heard the sparrow cry outside the window, the bowl did not change at all.
He let out a "huh" and tilted his head to look left and right for a long time.
I wanted to ask him what was going on, but I was afraid that I would miss some of his tricks, so I could only hold it back.
He looked at it for a while, and then told me to jump out of the window with him.
On the way back, Qin Yiheng kept wondering, saying that although he was not a so-called master, at least he had not failed so much in the use of these techniques, and originally he wanted to see how the bodyguard died tonight. According to him, water is the most spiritual thing in nature (science also believes that water is the most important element of life, Qin Yiheng has always believed that the things that can be explained by science and technology at present are called science, and those that cannot be explained are called metaphysics. In fact, it may not be that metaphysics is so unfathomable, but now human technology cannot be explained), the overnight water on the night he was sheng has a saying, and the night dew and morning dew are the water closest to the underworld in the yang world, which is called rootless water. Comparatively, it is easier to channel than simple water. He put the bowl directly south of the villa and let it sit for the night. If that bodyguard really died in this house, unless he was really taken away by the underworld, no matter what, traces of his existence could be found on the water. Even if people can't feel or see, it's impossible not to find water that is more sensitive than people.
And that chopsticks are used to dip the water and lift it high during the period of time when the sky is about to dawn, waiting for the water droplets to fall naturally, and the place where the water droplets float is where the soul is located. It's just that there is no reaction to even that bowl of water, so there is no need to do this part again.
