Tan Lan walked into this antique shop with two subordinates at this time, the owner was an elderly man over fifty years old, named Gu Jie, he subconsciously frowned the moment he saw Tan Lan, obviously he had sensed that trouble was coming, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but he still had to remain respectful in words.

"Master Tan is here, the small shop is really splendid, I don't know what treasure Master Tan needs, the small one can be recommended for you. Gu Jie said respectfully.

"No, I'll choose for myself. Tan Lan refused.

"Okay, you can choose, the treasures in our small shop are all treasures, and the prices are fair, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied. Gujie said with a standard hospitality smile on his face.

Tan Lan didn't pay attention to Gu Jie, but ordered the two subordinates to stay aside, and she picked them up in the store.

Just two weeks ago, Tan Lan's wife suddenly fell ill with a sudden illness, and Tan Lan invited a famous doctor in the city to treat her but showed no signs of improvement.

Tan Lan never treated her well before her wife's death, often snoring, beating and scolding, venting her negative emotions on her wife. But his wife was afraid of his obscenity, and she was always submissive and did not dare to make any resistance. Now that his wife has passed away, Tan Lan suddenly felt very regretful, thinking that she really owed her a lot.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.

But Tan Lan was obviously not so open-minded, since the death of his wife, every time Tan Lan was alone in the room where the husband and wife lived together, a boundless sense of fear would rise in his heart. Soon after, he began to see his wife in his sleep, and in his dreams she was dressed in white, with her hair disheveled, and her body floating in the air, slowly approaching him. Tan Lan was so frightened in his dream that he ran backwards quickly, but found that it was impossible to get rid of his wife no matter what, he shouted for help, but no one paid attention. At this time, his wife had quietly come to his back, stretched out her pale slender hand with sharp nails and pinched Tan Lan's neck fiercely...

"Ah!" A heart-rending scream suddenly came out of Tan Lan's mouth, which immediately alarmed the people who were sleeping, and a person closest to the master's room didn't care about avoiding suspicion and respect, and rushed straight into Tan Lan's room, he wanted to find out what was happening around the master and ensure that the master was safe and sound.

Tan Lan was shocked, but she also realized that everything she had just experienced was just a nightmare. When he found out that the subordinate had broken into his room, he did not rebuke him, but told the subordinate the truth so that he did not have to worry, and he obviously understood that the subordinate was in such a hurry to break in because he was worried about his own safety.

But this terrifying experience did not end there, a haunting "resentment" followed him, and every night his soul would be trapped in that almost identical dream, and he would be tormented over and over again by the ghost of his wife, as if that hatred would never end.

After being woken up from his dream three times in a row, he knew that he could no longer "sit still" and let his wife's ghost torture him over and over again. So he began to look for ways to get rid of evil spirits, at first he decided to sleep in the study, but when he found that it did not work, he bought many sage scriptures and placed them in the room, but it still did not work.

Later, Tan Lan even invited monks and Taoist priests to do rituals at home, but still could not make the nightmare go away from him. Every night three watches, the figure of his wife will appear in the dream on time.

Tan Lan now feels that his spirit may collapse at any time and become a heartless madman who can't control his emotions, he knows that he can't be tortured like this anymore, otherwise the end will be unimaginable. But he couldn't find any effective method, and he tried all the things, but to no avail.

One day, when Tan Lan was chatting with several merchants, he suddenly heard one of them mention that there seemed to be a mysterious treasure in an old antique shop in the west of the city that could ward off evil spirits, but no one was lucky enough to see it.

Hearing the news, Tan Lan was immediately overjoyed, as if a glimmer of light had ushered in the endless darkness. He seemed to have a premonition that as long as he obtained the treasure to ward off evil spirits, he would be able to get rid of the nightmare forever.

That's why he's in the antique shop today, and he's bound to get hold of that evil treasure, like the last straw he can grasp.

Tan Lan walked around the store, but didn't find any unusual treasures at all. The shop is full of glass, amber, jade and porcelain, and is no different from the usual antique shops.

Tan Lan didn't want to waste any more time searching carefully, so she asked Gu Jie directly, "I heard from others that you have a treasure in this store that can ward off evil spirits, yes or no?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but that's our private collection, not for sale. Gujie replied sincerely.

"How can anyone in the antique business in this world smash the treasure in his own hands, even if you talk about the price, I don't mind if it is more expensive, as long as it is within the range of what I can afford, I urgently need that treasure to drive away the evil in the house. Tan Lan wanted to get that treasure in his pocket earlier, so he didn't care about the price at all, even if it was ridiculously expensive, he could accept it now.

But the next sentence Gu Jie said made Tan Lan feel that they were very ignorant of lifting.

"Master Tan, I have explained to you, we will never sell that treasure, even if you offer all the family property, we will not sell it, I hope you can understand. ”

"What if I have to buy it today?" Tan Lan's eyes showed a hint of anger.

"Master Tan, there is no forced buying and selling business in this world, please respect yourself. Gujie warned in a deep voice.

"It seems that today you are going to toast and not eat and drink. A fierce light flashed in Tan Lan's eyes, and she said gloomily.

Gu Jie was not stunned by Tan Lan's cruel expression, and still said calmly: "This treasure is actually not in the store at all, may I ask how the master Tan wants to buy it, is it possible to buy a handful of air to go back?"

"Hmph, don't think that everyone is stupid and can be deceived at will. I found out that you have a secret door in this store that leads to the back, I wonder how you explain the function of this secret door?"

"It's where the guys in the store rest, where there will be some treasures, Tan Da is really joking. Gu Jie hurriedly responded.

But Gu Jie's slightly flickering eyes betrayed him completely, allowing Tan Lan to further confirm that the hidden treasure behind the secret door was indeed located.

"I advise

You still don't talk nonsense, take out the treasure as soon as possible, you can pay whatever you want, I won't care. Tan Lan gave Gu Jie one last chance.

But Gu Jie obviously couldn't let Tan Lan's greed succeed, and firmly refused: "Impossible, you still don't want to be delusional, if you need treasures that can ward off evil spirits, you can go to other antique stores to search, we really don't have the things that Tan Da needs here, please forgive me." ”

"It seems that you have to force me to break in, since you are so unreasonable, then don't blame me for being rude. ”

Tan Lan made a "up" gesture to the two subordinates behind him, and pointed out the location of the secret door, and the two of them immediately realized and immediately rushed in the direction of the secret door.

Gu Jie was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly blocked in front of the two subordinates, and shouted in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?

"Haha, Wang Fa? Do you think you can stop me by saying the word 'Wang Fa'? I'm old but still so naïve, rare, rare. I advise you to get out of the way quickly, or you will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin. Tan Lan said with a hideous face.

"Do you still want to beat me? Tan Da Boss doesn't want to become a well-known bully and become notorious. Gu Jie obviously didn't believe that Tan Lan would do anything to him.

Seeing this Gu Jie stubbornly guarding in front of the secret door, motionless, without any sign of getting out of the way, Tan Lan's long-suppressed anger finally broke out completely at this moment.

Tan Lan originally didn't want to make trouble and ruin his image of a "gentleman" as always. But he was now driven mad by the nightmare that haunted him, and if he didn't get his hands on this treasure today, he didn't know if his already fragile spirit would survive the next nightmare. Therefore, no matter what the consequences of his impulses today may be, he will not care, he has already left everything behind.

"Hit me hard!" Tan Lan gave an order to the two subordinates, her tone full of anger.

These two subordinates knew that it was extremely inappropriate to attack the elder, but they did not dare to disobey Tan Lan's order, so they rushed up and kicked Gu Jie down, followed by a combination of fists and kicks.

Although this punch and kick looked very cruel, the two subordinates actually did not exert any force, for fear that the blame would fall on them after causing a fatality. Even so, the elderly shopkeeper was injured so much that he couldn't lift his strength for a moment and couldn't get up from the ground.

"Well done, I want to see how precious this treasure really is, and how desperately he protects it. ”

Tan Lan immediately walked towards the secret door with two subordinates, and when she passed by Gu Jie, she didn't forget to "hum" and mocked: "Ask for your own hardship." ”

Tan Lan pushed open the secret door, only to find that there was a passage behind the storefront, and at the end was a secret room, and there were two young men guarding the door of the room, which obviously proved that the treasure was placed in this room.

When the two men saw that someone suddenly broke in through the secret door, they immediately raised their vigilance, and one of them asked in a deep voice: "How did you come in? Outsiders are not welcome here, so I advise you to go back the way you came." ”

"Haha, how do you think we got in?" Tan Lan immediately laughed unscrupulously when she heard this.
