Chapter 17 Murderous Demons
Finalized.
Gentleman Wu asked Steward Fang to summon his subordinates, and wanted to let the family accompany Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others.
Soon, more than a dozen family members walked in from outside.
Chen Yun looked at it, these family Ding Gu were young and strong, and they were afraid that something would happen to the Wu gentleman, so they wanted to send some elites from the family.
It was precisely because of this move that Chen Yun was even more sure that the powerful ghosts in the courtyard were extraordinary.
However, Lin Chen looked very lazy with Zhong Kuifu, and he didn't seem to be afraid at all.
Zhang Qian and Li Sigu are like this.
Gentleman Wu said to the family members: "Wu Lu, you go with a few Taoist masters to exorcise ghosts." ”
A short and thin young man in the crowd said with a pale face: "No, I have a stomach upset, I can't go, the head of the family, you can send someone else." ”
Gentleman Wu was a little disliked, but not all the family members were cheap slaves, some were hired, and he couldn't be reluctant, so he had to say to another young family member: "Wu You, you go." ”
The dark-skinned young man waved his hand again and again, "No, my eyes are not good, and I can't see at night." ”
Chen Yun has lived two lives, and he doesn't dare to say how meticulous he is, but there are still some things that he observes.
He immediately judged from the reactions of these two family members that the ghost in the other courtyard must be very powerful, so powerful that it made people timid.
Chen Yun couldn't help but become cautious.
Seeing that many family members refused to go, Gentleman Wu frowned and said: "If anyone goes with the Taoist master to exorcise ghosts, it will not be in vain, one person a night, I will give five taels of silver, and I will say in advance, only two people." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Lu immediately said, "I'll go!" I'll go! ”
Gentleman Wu was speechless and said, "Don't you have a stomach?" ”
Wu Lu said nonsense: "This will make me feel better." ”
Gentleman Wu was too lazy to take care of it, and said to everyone: "Who else is going?" ”
Wu You scrambled and said, "I am willing to go." ”
Gentleman Wu teased: "Don't you can't see at night? ”
Wu You smiled and said, "No, the head of the family didn't understand, I can't see it in the night, but I can see it if there is a lantern." ”
Gentleman Wu scolded: "You two are all cured when you hear that you have a silver disease, bastard!" ”
Wu Lu and Wu You also did not answer.
Chen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since there were people who were willing to go under the heavy reward, thinking that the powerful ghost was not so terrible, at least it was not so terrible that people did not want to go under the heavy reward.
The escorts have been gathered.
Gentleman Wu looked at Lin Chen and said, "What Mr. Lin wants to use, I will let the people prepare." ”
Lin Chen said quite arrogantly: "No, I really don't need to, didn't I just tell the gentleman, I have Zhong Kui Fu, I'm not afraid of ghosts." ”
Seeing that Lin Chen swore like this, Gentleman Wu didn't want to say anything, but asked Steward Fang to lead Wu Lu and Wu Youyou, two family members, to accompany Chen Yun, Lin Chen and the others.
Steward Fang and Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si walked in front.
Chen Yun deliberately fell behind a few positions, and chatted with Wu Lu and Wu You intentionally or unintentionally to inquire about information.
Although the Wu family was only one or two miles away from the courtyard, in such a short period of time, Chen Yun had already figured out the situation from Wu Lu and Wu You's mouths.
First of all, the layout of the annex is seated.
The annex is a three-way courtyard before and after.
The first courtyard is a narrow courtyard where the inverted seat house is located before the Hanging Flower Gate.
The second courtyard is composed of a wing room, a main room, and a verandah.
The third entrance to the courtyard is the rear cover room after the main house.
When the second son of the Wu family was alive, he lived in the east wing of the second courtyard.
The north room was an occasional residence for the Wu gentlemen.
In other words, the second son of the Wu family does not live in the upper room.
This is the first important message.
The second piece of information is that Chen Yun learned that no one from the Wu family had been to check on the other courtyard for three months.
That is, the information that the Wu family said was still three months ago.
Chen Yun secretly thought: "From a ghost to a ghost in three months, if according to my initial guess, that powerful ghost is 'upgrading', then this time it must be even more dangerous." ”
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but fall back a few more positions.
As the saying goes, friends who die don't die don't die poor.
Chen Yun didn't want to charge into battle, and another corpse would end up on the spot.
At this time, the steward in front was also chatting with Lin Chen.
Steward Fang asked with a curious expression, "Immortal Lin Chang, what you just said Zhong Kui Fu can really suppress that powerful ghost?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Yun pricked up his ears.
He really wanted to know what the role of Zhong Kuifu was, which made Lin Chen so "arrogant".
It's a pity that Lin Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
Chen Yun thought he couldn't know.
Who would have thought, Zhang Qian smiled and took over the words: "Steward Fang, do you know, my senior brother Lin's Zhong Kui talisman is not easy to come by, but it is drawn by my senior brother Cai Rujin in the Taoist Temple, the talisman not only has a mysterious, powerful avoidance of evil and disaster, dispelling illness and recovery, protecting the family, and enhancing financial luck, if ignited, Zhong Kui talisman can also summon Zhong Kui's holy elephant to kill demons and monsters in one fell swoop." ”
Hey?
Zhong Kui Fu is so powerful?
Chen Yun suddenly recalled the information about Zhong Kui.
It is rumored that Zhong Kui is a Taoist god who specializes in fighting ghosts and driving away evil spirits.
He is not only the door god who suppresses ghosts and evils, and dispels the charm of disasters, but also the judge who controls ghosts and kills demons.
If you can summon Zhong Kui's holy elephant by lighting Zhong Kui's talisman, it seems that it is indeed a piece of cake to deal with mere ghosts.
Chen Yun relaxed slightly.
However, out of caution, he was still a few steps behind the others.
……
In small talk.
Everyone came to the West City Annex.
This place is a luxury residential area in the center of Xigou City, and many compounds have been built around it.
Chen Yun keenly observed that many of the nearby compounds were brightly lit, but the courtyards on both sides of the annex in front of him were pitch black.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bright at this time, and he could vaguely see the layout of the other courtyard, which was indeed as Wu Lu and Wu You said.
This annex covers an area of about one acre, and according to the price of about 200 guan in Xigou City, the value of this annex should be about 1,400 guan.
Consistent money is equal to one tael of silver.
One thousand four hundred quintals, which is equivalent to one thousand four hundred taels of silver, or one hundred and forty taels of gold.
Naturally, it makes sense for Gentleman Wu to spend ten taels of gold to exorcise ghosts.
Chen Yun could vaguely guess that Gentleman Wu was willing to spend a lot of money to exorcise ghosts, not just because the house was quite valuable.
This kind of gentry, who owns many mansions, can afford to lose more than 1,000 taels of silver.
Chen Yun estimated that Gentleman Wu spent a lot of money to exorcise ghosts, and the more reason was that it was the residence of his beloved son before his death, and he wanted to go over to see it from time to time.
What's more important is that big families want to be faced, if the haunting is not solved, others may think that Gentleman Wu's family has done something angry and resentful, and they will be poked in the back.
This should be the reason why Gentleman Wu is willing to throw ten taels of gold to exorcise ghosts.
Ten taels of gold is one hundred taels of silver, and Chen Yun's previous family may not be able to earn so much in ten years.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, sure enough, no matter which world it is, the gap between the rich and the poor is very huge.
Lin Chen, who was walking in front, said: "Steward Fang, open the door." ”
Steward Fang took the key from his waist, "Okay, Immortal Lin Chang." ”
With that, he stepped forward to unlock the lock.
Click, the long lock is opened.
Then, the steward removed the lock and pushed the door open from the outside.
The vermilion lacquer door here has just been pushed open.
With a whoosh, a dark wind blew from within.
This yin wind is extremely evil.
Chen Yun was obviously standing far behind everyone, but when he was blown by this yin wind, he still couldn't help but tremble.
This "cold" is different from the harshness of the ice and snow in winter.
It seems to have sucked out a person's soul and thrown it into an ice cellar, making people shudder physically and mentally.
Chen Yun had a premonition that something was wrong, and deliberately stood in the distance and did not move forward.
Lin Chen, Zhang Qian and others didn't take it seriously.
Lin Chen laughed and said: "Look at the Yin Wind posture, this powerful ghost seems to have some Taoism, and look at how I use Zhong Kui Fu to cure it." ”
At this time, Lin Chen spoke, and Chen Yun hadn't noticed anything abnormal.
However, what happened next made Chen Yun feel creepy.
Saying that, Lin Chen stood still and didn't move, and he didn't see any movement, he just shouted lightly, "Take the fire fold!" ”
Steward Fang also didn't move, "Immortal Lin Chang, the fire fold is for you." ”
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, you said that the fire fold was given to Lin Chen, why did you stand motionless?
He was wondering.
Suddenly, Zhang Qian laughed, "Yo, this Zhong Kui Fu is really extraordinary, once it is ignited, it will shine brightly, and the screams of the powerful ghosts that shine are repeated." ”
Li Sidao: "Senior Brother Cai Rujin's mana is profound, and the talisman he drew with his own hands is a waste to deal with a mere ghost, in my opinion, this ghost will fall if he lasts for a while at most." ”
Yes?
Zhong Kui Fu ignited?
And glowing with dazzling divine light?
Chen Yunxin said why didn't I see it.
He already had a premonition that something was wrong, and these people seemed to be on the way!
Sure enough, Wu Lu suddenly said, "Ouch, I'm a mother, what a Zhong Kui holy elephant, that powerful ghost was slashed by Zhong Kui with a sword all of a sudden, amazing, Lin Xianchang, you are really powerful." ”
Wu You also inhaled the cool air, "Amazing! Lin Xianchang is too powerful! ”
The men were also motionless, as if they were talking to the air.
Chen Yun could clearly see the crazy faces of several people in front of him, as if he had seen some vision.
Who do you talk to when you ride a horse?
Of course, Chen Yun knew why these people were talking to the air, and if nothing happened, he must have been confused by the ghosts.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his back for a while, and finally knew that this powerful ghost was powerful, and he quietly confused the five or six people in front of him.
It's just that Chen Yun was a little puzzled, why didn't he have anything else except for being blown by the yin wind at the beginning?
Is it far from the door, or is it for some other reason?
