Chapter 7: The Haunted House
Qingyun Mansion is the closest city to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, thanks to the convenient water and land transportation, almost all the first stop of the output of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains will be selected in Qingyun Mansion for centralized repair, and then shipped to all directions. And the team that is ready to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge will also purchase the last things that need to be prepared in Qingyun Mansion before entering the mountain, so the rich output of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge has further promoted the prosperity of Qingyun Mansion.
Walking on both sides of the dazzling streets, Ye Zhiqiu has a feeling of wandering in the ancient town of Jiangnan. I have to say that Fucheng is much more lively than Niujia Village, with more goods, more snacks, and more beautiful women, if it weren't for the fact that the pocket was cleaner than the face, Ye Zhiqiu took care of the business of those poor girls when he passed by Yihong Courtyard just now, but it was the first time in his life that he saw such a meaningful red light district, but there was no rice in his pocket, it's a pity!
According to the knowledge points taken out of Old Master Yu's mouth, Ye Zhiqiu found a tooth shop near the red light district.
"Little brother, please introduce the clean and affordable house in the city!" Ye Zhiqiu smiled very kindly, stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, after all, when there was no rice on his body, he should try to pretend as little as possible, otherwise he would not be able to get off the table and be embarrassed.
"There are a lot of clean ones, but most of them are a little far from the bustling area...... However, there is a house in the inner city that is not said in all aspects, and it is absolutely clean, not to mention the price, it is ......" The guy obviously understood the meaning of clean and affordable in Ye Zhiqiu's words, that is, he was seriously short of money and wanted to live in the city. But how can there be a cheap house in this city? The cheap ones are all outside the city.,Suddenly remembered that there really seems to be a house like this recently.,Thinking about the details everywhere, it's really quite in line with this condition.,But suddenly remembered something.,Just mention it and subconsciously shut up.。
"Trouble the little brother to talk about this house in detail, could it be that there are other people who are in the way?" Ye Zhiqiu now has nothing in his pocket, and he can't wait to be the master of the prostitute, he still wants to exchange some of the things he brings with him for some money, and then rent a cheaper place to settle down first, and then talk about it, this suddenly heard that there are places with good and affordable locations, and he naturally wants to understand more clearly, not to mention that there is no money, even if he has money, he will not delay him to take advantage of it.
"It's not a human problem, the head of this house is now eager to pay for someone to live in it out of his own pocket, but this house doesn't seem to be very clean, and some of the things in it are not healthy!" The man's words were a little subtle, and he looked at Ye Zhiqiu and gave him a look that you know.
"Something? What is it? "I understand your sister, Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes depressedly, too lazy to play dumb riddles.
That guy is also a sharp-tongued master, and seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was obviously interested in the house, he hurriedly told the story of it.
It turns out that this house is said to be a noisy demon and evil thing, and it has scared several people crazy since it was built. The head of this house is surnamed Wang, who was a high-ranking official in the capital before, and only returned to Qingyun City a few years ago to build this house to prepare for retirement. However, since the completion of this house, strange things have been happening, and I heard the masters who traveled here say that something unclean was suppressed under the house.
If you want to say that the house has suppressed other people's heavenly spirit cover, other people's things are naturally too unhappy, so they make the high-ranking official's house restless. Later, Master Wang had no choice but to move out of the house and live elsewhere. But the evil things in the house have been contaminated with the breath of the head of the household's family, and although the people are gone, they are still entangled with the Wang's family.
In the end, I heard that the master in the capital said that he had to change the house to a hard-lived householder in order to be lucky in the town's residential courtyard, so that the demon would be entangled with the head of the town's house, and after a few years, the former head of the household would naturally be fine. However, as for whether the owner of the house after taking over is dead or alive, it depends on who can beat whom he or the evil thing.
After that, the high-ranking official surnamed Wang sold the house at a low price, and in the past few years, there were people who did not believe in evil and greedy for cheapness to take over the house one after another, but all the people who took over were inexplicably frightened that night, and the next day they returned the deed to the lord Wang, and soon after returning the deed, these people all fell ill and died. So now this deed is still in the hands of the old man.
The guy is still unsatisfied, after all, the gossip of those high-ranking officials and rich families is not every day, and I don't know if those adults have to drink two bowls of broth every day and sleep with two daughters-in-law, but I haven't met the demon who asks for his life, so the happiness of people is very simple, as long as you have something more than what the other party does not have, it may soon make you very happy, talking about the bad luck of Lord Wang, that guy is obviously very happy.
"So this Lord Wang is looking for someone to top the bag and be happy?" Ye Zhiqiu knew that there were a lot of things in the world that pretended to be gods and ghosts, although he had experienced more magical things not long ago, but he had always relied on science, including coming to this world, didn't he also rely on scientific means to achieve it? As for the chaos thing, I think it's also a kind of science that I haven't been exposed to, but it's a demon and an evil thing, I grew up in New China and was born under the red flag, but I have always been a master who doesn't believe in evil.
"Well, so to speak, but now Master Wang has a reward, if anyone can control this house, not only will the deed be sent immediately, but also an additional 5,000 high-grade jade coins, with this money is enough to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in Qingyun City for a lifetime!" The guy looked envious, if he wasn't afraid of death, he would have wanted to do it.
"Then how to get to Master Wang's house?" Ye Zhiqiu went straight to the point and didn't ask any more questions.
The guy naturally knew that Ye Zhiqiu was asking where that Master Wang lived now, and so many bad things had happened, obviously even if that Lord Wang was still unlucky, he would no longer live in that problematic mansion.
"This master, wait a minute, I'll talk to the shopkeeper and take you to the mansion of the old man right away!" The guy couldn't hide his joy. Although he can't make money on Ye Zhiqiu, but Master Wang has let go of the tooth shops left and right in the city, as long as the matchmaking is successful, the middleman will get a lot of commission, which is obviously much more than the three melons and two dates pulled from Ye Zhiqiu.
It didn't take long for the guy to walk out of the inner room of the tooth shop, and led Ye Zhiqiu to the city in a hurry.
Just a few corners, the guy led Ye Zhiqiu to a large mansion with a palace written on it, but this mansion looks like it has been around for some years, and it is estimated that the old man Wang was also frightened by the last mansion construction incident, so he did not break ground to build a new mansion, but lived directly in the ancestral house. Thinking that there is an ancestral tablet in this ancestral house, he should also take care of his grandchildren, after all, he has never dared to miss the annual incense offerings.
The man went to the porter and reported the matter of the house, and saw that the porter got up like a rabbit with an arrow and ran into the house. Ye Zhiqiu sighed with emotion, the servants of large families are flexible, if you have money one day, you have to engage in a few such gatekeepers, not to mention that there are cards, even if you do things, you can do things quickly!
After a while, he saw an old man with white hair, his eyes red and running towards the door, making Ye Zhiqiu feel like an old father who saw his own son for the first time in ten years. Belch! It seems that he doesn't have a daughter-in-law!
"Your guests are coming, your guests are coming! Little brother, please come in! ”
Ye Zhiqiu just raised his hand and wanted to say hello, but he didn't expect the other party to hold his hands as soon as he saw them, which was closer than seeing relatives. was afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would regret running away, so he blocked all the polite words that Ye Zhiqiu had prepared.
The negotiation process was quite smooth, mainly because one was poor and wanted to take advantage, and the other wanted to send it out for fear that others would not accept it. Two people, you point to the sky and I talk to the earth, you point to the sun, and I talk about the nonsense of the flatbread, and after a polite pass, Master Wang picked up the deed from his hand. The duke of the yamen also came to the front hall at this time, thinking that it was also at the time of the dispatch of Lord Wang, after a dragon flying and phoenix dance, Ye Zhiqiu pressed his own handprint, and took the plate of jade coins presented by Lord Wang, and then refused Lord Wang's request to stay for dinner, and the two sides said goodbye happily!
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to stay and see what the standard of food for the rich people in this world was, and he didn't know if he could eat enough. But thinking that he not only collected other people's houses just now, but also collected other people's money, it is better to have a little bottom limit for this shamelessness, otherwise I don't know when I go out one day and encounter a dry day thunder and then split it.
"If there was such a house in my hometown at that time, what kind of country would I be! Lao Tzu will be an otaku for the rest of his life! Looking at the winding mansion of the winding corridor pavilion, he almost satisfied all his fantasies about the house. The area of nearly 100 acres is still located in the downtown area, and this location alone is not something that can be done with money alone, but when I think of the identity of the former Beijing official of the old man Wang, I also know it, and I think that there should be no shortage of means. Standing on the second floor and looking at the buildings that were obviously lower in the surrounding circle, Ye Zhiqiu thought of the discordant word of violent demolition, no wonder he was restless, but it was actually good to be able to cheapen his own Lord Wang!
Put the bear bile and a few furs in the bag in the bedroom, these things were originally thought to be able to exchange some money in the city, and then keep the rent and recent expenses for use, I didn't expect to encounter this good thing on the first day of coming, this time everything is saved, and it is really better to be in time than to be in time.
After putting down the things, Ye Zhiqiu hummed a little song and strolled around the empty mansion. Pure, really pure! Nonsense, a mansion of nearly 100 acres can be heard by farting alone, can it not be clean!
