Chapter 6: Exorcising Haunted Houses
Chen Ming flew ahead alone, listening to the occasional sound of a woman's silver bell-like laughter coming from behind, and could not help but clench his fists, his expression growing increasingly grim
Chen Ming said lightly: "If you have no grievances, how could he allow you to build a house here"
In this world, it is possible for a person to continue to exist in the form of a spirit after death, but this spirit is very fragile, belonging to the realm of extreme darkness. Generally, it will quickly dissipate on its own and cannot exist for long, nor can it be exposed to sunlight
Jiang Li also hugged her shoulders and instinctively leaned closer to Li Yu
Chen Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking around before finally turning to Mr. Ren and asking, "Do you have a grudge against that feng shui master?"
This city is named Fengzhou City, located within the territory of the Chen Kingdom, and the haunted location is in a residence within the city
... ...
In the Baiyun Temple, where one cultivates a tranquil mind and desires are few, he once spent a considerable sum to acquire a book of erotic paintings, intending to find solace in it during the quiet of the night. At that time, he had already removed his trousers, but upon opening the book, he discovered that its contents were about geomancy and feng shui, which infuriated him to the point that he nearly tore the book apart
Time flows slowly, and night has completely descended
This type of spirit possesses no combat capability; even a small fireball spell can cause their spiritual form to collapse and completely dissipate into the world. The arrival of four Qi Refinement stage practitioners from the Baiyun Temple is indeed an overreaction.
Chen Ming waved his hand to Mr. Ren and said, "You may leave now and come back tomorrow morning"
He has seen many people, but it is still the first time he has encountered a ghost in a picture book
After having dinner, Li Yu and the four others, under the guidance of Ren Yuanwai, arrived at the new residence of the Ren family
It is fortunate that the demonic sorceress is unaware of this matter; otherwise, Jiang Li would likely not have a good outcome
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that after two years, he has not succeeded in gathering energy. While others are diligently cultivating, he has been dragged around by Jiang Li, spending three days fishing and two days sunbathing, occasionally running down the mountain to enjoy life. It would be strange if he could gather energy...
The continuous nightmares have cast a significant psychological shadow over the Ren family, thus they did not dare to enter, only standing at the door to peer inside
Zhou Zixuan was somewhat taken aback and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Chen understands the art of geomancy?"
What I saw was a female ghost with a face as pale as death, and her tongue was a full three feet long
It is night, the hour of Zi.
Li Yu and three others found a room and waited quietly for midnight to arrive
From the description of the Ren family, it appears that the entity haunting the new residence of the Ren mansion is merely a low-level ghost, which can only be referred to as a shadow spirit
"I never realized before how interesting Junior Brother Li is." On the way down the mountain, Senior Sister Zhou covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Yu
No one enjoys the days of living on the edge, perhaps having been suppressed for too long in a past life. In this new life, his mindset has undergone some changes. Occasionally teasing the beautiful senior sister, watching her charming face flush and her coy demeanor, is not without its amusement.
Li Yu lay on the bed, the candlelight in the room had long since extinguished, and the pale moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a layer of dark gray shadows on the floor
Speaking of the nightmares of these past few days, everyone present from the Ren family displayed fear, trembling in both legs, their faces as pale as paper
Jiang Li glanced at Li Yu, feeling that he seemed like a different person these past few days. The previous Li Yu was like a closed gourd, capable of going an entire day without saying a word. However, during this short descent from the mountain, he spoke more to Senior Sister Zhou than he had in the past half month.
The official exclaimed in exasperation: "Damn it, I have no grievances or enmity with him, why does he want to harm me!"
It seemed that the gentleman suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he said: "Is the feng shui here not good?"
In a state of fear, the official was also filled with boundless resentment, gritting his teeth and saying: "That damned feng shui master said that place was an exceptionally good residence rarely seen in a hundred years, that moving there would be beneficial for future generations, and he charged me a full one hundred taels. As a result, I encounter ghosts every day. The next time I see him, I will break his dog legs..."
The people of the Ren family, upon hearing these words, felt as if they had been granted a great pardon, and soon disappeared without a trace
Is it possible that he has developed feelings for Senior Sister Zhou
That evil spirit has only half a face, it is too terrifying
Fengzhou City, at the city gate
Chen Ming looked around again, half-smiling and half-serious, and said: "The feng shui here is indeed quite good; it is a rare and excellent residence. However, it is a tomb; it is barely suitable for the living, but perfectly fitting for the dead..."
Li Yujian has been pushed too far. Setting aside the fact that they ganged up on him two against one, even his beloved Junior Sister Zhou has been taken away by them. If this grudge is not avenged, it would be a disgrace to be a man
At a certain moment, an invisible shadow floated in from outside the door, passed through the doorway, and slowly drifted to the bedside, gazing at the young man lying on the bed, unable to help but exclaim: "What a handsome man, I can't bear to scare him..."
The official, overwhelmed with joy, bowed several times to Chen Ming, repeatedly saying: "Thank you, immortal master, thank you, immortal master..."
Later, out of sheer boredom, I could only casually browse to pass the time, and before I knew it, I had actually learned a great deal
He slightly puffed out his chest and said: "This place is called 'Shuangshan Bangshui Cave'. Junior Sister Zhou, look, on both sides of this residence, there are high mountains, and there is a water source in front of the house. The foul energy blows in from between the two mountains and gathers on this water, making this place a gathering spot for Yin energy, which is precisely where Yin spirits prefer to congregate..."
Yin spirits are the weakest type of ghostly entities, easily dispersed by yang energy. During the day, they mostly hide in places underground where sunlight cannot reach, and only dare to appear in the latter half of the night when the yin energy is at its peak
Listening to their descriptions, Sister Zhou and Chen Ming appeared indifferent, while Jiang Li seemed somewhat frightened, as it was her first encounter with such a situation. Li Yu felt a mix of uncertainty and a subtle thrill within her.
In her impression, Li Yu was always silent and reserved, but in the past half an hour, what she witnessed was a witty young gentleman, who several times made her unable to suppress her laughter, causing her to frequently lose her composure.
The lowest level of spirit cannot inflict physical harm on the living and can only appear during the night when the yin energy is at its strongest. If a sleeping mortal is invaded by this yin energy, they are likely to experience nightmares. Over time, both their mental and physical states may deteriorate.
Baiyun Mountain, atop the mountain path
Although Li Yu does not understand feng shui, Chen Ming speaks in a manner that seems convincing and not like mere nonsense
The banquet prepared by the official was quite lavish. During the meal, he also provided a detailed account of the events that had occurred at home to Li Yu and others
However, standing before this residence, Li Yu always felt a sense of discomfort throughout his body
Chen Ming's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he wished to flaunt some knowledge to attract the attention of Sister Zhou, only to find that Li Yu and the others had already entered.
In the next moment, the young man opened his eyes and looked at her, asking: "How handsome is he?"
A few days ago, the Ren family moved into their new residence, which should have been a joyous occasion. However, after the entire Ren family, consisting of dozens of members, settled into their new home, they all experienced a series of strange nightmares for several consecutive nights. In these dreams, they were tormented by malevolent spirits with green faces and sharp fangs.
There is also an old ghost who takes off its arm and chews on it...
Mr. Ren came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "May I inquire, Immortal Master, what water is beside these twin mountains? Is there a method to break the spell?"
The art of Feng Shui is considered a marginal practice in the realm of immortality cultivation, with very few in the orthodox path mastering it. However, in the demonic path, some practitioners utilize Feng Shui techniques to nurture ghosts and corpses, which is despised by those of the righteous path
Li hetushucomcom floated in the air, gazing down at the lush green mountains and forests, and let out a long breath
Chen Ming waved his hand and said, "This is simple; as long as we fill this lake and plant trees, we can break this gathering of Yin energy, and there will no longer be any spirits congregating here"
In the past two years, he can be regarded as the greatest obstacle on Li Yu's path of cultivation
This caused the entire Ren family to be in a state of anxiety, and within a few days, more than ten members of the family fell ill. In desperation, Mr. Ren had no choice but to personally go to Baiyun Mountain, spending a large sum of money to seek practitioners to exorcise the spirits.
This residence is situated far from the bustling city, covering a vast area, with no other buildings in the vicinity. The estate is built against the mountains, and there is a small lake behind the courtyard. The air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful, making it indeed an excellent residence
Seeing the surprised expression on Junior Sister Zhou's face, Li Yu and Jiang Li also looked at him, and Chen Ming finally regained a bit of confidence
Li Yu was not unfamiliar with everything in the city. In his memory, Jiang Li would take him down the mountain several times a month to indulge in lavish feasts at the largest tavern in Fengzhou City.
One hour later, four individuals arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain
Li Yu smiled and said, "I wasn't this familiar with Senior Sister Zhou before..."
The official was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Why does the immortal master say such words?"
Several figures were waiting eagerly in front of the city gate. A portly middle-aged man, upon seeing Li Yu and the others, displayed a clear expression of joy on his face. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Esteemed immortals, you have finally arrived. I have prepared a modest banquet at the tavern, and I kindly invite you to join me..."
