Chapter Eighty-Seven: There Are Evil Spirits in the Well
The location of the house is indeed very good, it is located next to the downtown area, three streets away from the Jiaofang Division, only two streets away from the Shadow Secret Guard Yamen where Shen Lian sits, and the most important thing is that it is not far from Qin Tianjian, about two quarters of an hour's foot, if you ride a horse or take a carriage, the time will be greatly reduced.
As long as seven thousand taels of silver, Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao both felt that it was worth it.
As for the haunting that the shopkeeper said.
Hehe, is this still a thing?
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper of Yaxing, Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao soon arrived at the house.
On the way, the shopkeeper talked about the ins and outs of this haunted house.
At first, it was bought by a cloth merchant from other places, and it was intended to be used to rest his feet while doing business in the capital, but he didn't want the cloth merchant to move in not long ago, so he went crazy and found a tooth shop to check out, because he often saw a long-haired woman in white sitting by the well in the middle of the night combing her hair.
Later, a salt merchant took over, kept his concubine inside, and after living for half a month, checked out for the same reason.
The shopkeeper of the tooth shop did not believe in evil, and lived in the house for one night, and in the first half of the night, he was fine, and when he got up to pee in the second half of the night, he saw a woman in white with long hair sitting by the well.
At that time, the scene was that the shopkeeper of the tooth shop was awakened by urine in the middle of the night, and hurriedly rushed to the yard under the tree to relieve himself, and when he was halfway through, he subconsciously looked at the well behind the tree.
A woman with a slender back sat by the well, with her back to the shopkeeper, dressed in white and conspicuous in the night, and suddenly the woman turned around, and the shopkeeper saw a bloodless face, white as if coated with a layer of flour, but the circles under her eyes were purple and blue, blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and a pair of eyes were full of resentment.
"That's the way it is, this lord, the villain really didn't lie to you, this house is dangerous."
Even in the sun, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop still couldn't help but shiver when he told Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao about his experience.
Shen Lian patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper of Yaxing comfortingly, and said, "It's okay, if there is really a ghost, this official will accept it." ”
Don't die inside, just make trouble for me, the shopkeeper complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face.
The courtyard wall of the house is not very high, about three meters, the gate has a gilt coating, it looks very exquisite, there is a stone pillar with vermilion lacquer poured on each side, and there are three steps in front of the door, giving people the first impression of being very high-end.
"This is the key, the villain will not follow in, wait for the two at the street corner." The shopkeeper took off the copper key pinned to his waist and handed it to Shen Lian, then immediately turned around and slipped out of the alley as fast as he could, hiding behind a tree outside the alley.
"If there really is any resentful spirit, can you deal with it?" Shen Lian held the key to the door, looked at Yun Shuiyao, and confirmed repeatedly.
The latter pursed his lips, pointed to the Changhong Sword on Shen Lian's waist, and said, "You have it, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Who's afraid? I'm worried that you're scared. Shen Lian didn't admit it, his mouth was very hard.
Yun Shuiyao responded to him with the word 'hehe'.
The door lock looked very new, but it was a little rusty, and Shen Lian wasted some effort to open it.
After pushing the door open, a dilapidated aura hit him.
The small courtyard is not very big, overgrown with weeds, and there is a big tree the thickness of a water tank in the corner of the yard, with lush branches and leaves, and it grows very well.
There is a well next to the tree, which is blocked by weeds, and if it were not for the general location of the shopkeeper in advance, it would not be easy to find.
"The shopkeeper of the tooth store is not lying, there is indeed a strong resentment in this yard, and the source comes from that well." Yun Shuiyao stepped into the courtyard in front of Shen Lian, holding the law in his hand, ready to do it at any time.
Shen Lian pulled out the Changhong Sword and followed him into the courtyard with a vigilant expression.
The shopkeeper of Yaxing, who was hiding behind the tree in the distance, couldn't help but clench his fists, and sweated for Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao in his heart.
He wanted to go with him, but reason prevailed over impulse, curiosity killed the cat, and he sailed the ship carefully.
Yun Shuiyao came to the well, looked down cautiously, frowned slightly, and said, "There is something in the water." ”
"What about that?" Shen Lian was not as professional as Yun Shuiyao in this regard, so he asked.
"Now the sun is too heavy for the resentful spirits to come out, I will temporarily seal the wellhead first, let's go around the house, and then deal with the resentful spirits in the evening." While Yun Shuiyao spoke, his hands kept changing his posture, and dozens of magic seals were connected at the wellhead.
Shen Lian saw a strange formation with a golden blue light gradually forming at the mouth of the well, covered with unknown Dao patterns, shining in the sunlight.
"It's done, you can look at the house with peace of mind, before I remove the formation, the resentful spirit can't come out." Yun Shuiyao held her chin proudly high, waiting for Shen Lian to praise her.
"Ah, Yun Xianzi is really powerful, Shen admires the five-body cast, if anyone marries you in the future, it is really a blessing for three lives." Shen Lian deliberately made an exaggerated expression and praised in an even more exaggerated tone.
Sensing Shen Lian's ridicule, Yun Shuiyao raised her foot and stepped on his instep fiercely.
The mansion has a total of six rooms, which is larger than Shen Lian's old mansion in the outer city.
The room is fully furnished and not of a low grade, just dusty.
Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao inspected the house and found no major problems, except for some scratches on the wall next to the bed in the bedroom, which was generally very good.
"Huh? Shen Lian, these scratches are obviously scratched by fingernails, who is idle and has nothing to do to grab the wall. Yun Shuiyao stood by the window, looked at the scratches on the wall at the head of the bed, and asked curiously.
Hehe, have you forgotten that a salt merchant once had a concubine here?
Sometimes when the love is strong, the woman herself doesn't know why she does it.....
"You'll find out later." Shen Lian pretended to be mysterious and said.
"Later? What do you mean? How long after? Yun Shuiyao's eyes widened, unclear, "You make it clear." ”
That's what you asked me to say, I'll be shy and can't rely on people.
"Do you remember the pair of mandarin ducks we met when we were swimming in the lake? You want to jump on someone's boat. Shen Lian thought about it and decided to order a little bit of Yun Shuiyao.
"yes, I remember." Yun Shuiyao's voice was three points lower, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"The scratches on the wall are left by women when they do this kind of thing." Shen Lian said bluntly, "It's hard to control your feelings, Xiaodi?" ”
"Uh, shameless." Yun Shuiyao glared at Shen Lian and walked away with a red face.
Of course she knew, and she had read it in private with Princess Dening in this novel........
Looking at Yun Shuiyao's shy expression, Shen Lian was stunned.
She hasn't left the cabinet yet, how do you know?
Made... Could it be... Falk... Suddenly my heart hurts...
Shen Lian felt like a newly bought cheese, and before he could eat it, he was bitten by a wild dog.
"Hey, hey, wait, how do you know?" Shen Lian trotted out.
