Chapter 2, The Haunting Affairs of the Aristocracy (1)

He told me: "Generally, spirits are quite dull; they walk in line in the underworld, devoid of emotions, like puppets. However, once there is a significant attachment, they can become increasingly human-like. But remember, a ghost is still a ghost; no matter how human-like it becomes, it is still a ghost. Never believe what a ghost says, never..."

I have asked my master about this question

It was not until many years later that I realized this was the admonition passed down through generations in our lineage

Everyone stood at the door

The master directly inquired

The master noticed my condition, remaining composed, and reached out to grasp my palm. I immediately felt a warmth in my palm, and this warmth flowed into my heart.

I made an estimate regarding this matter

As soon as the master uttered this sentence, I was immediately taken aback

Look at your little achievements

The entire person has become much more alert, yet still fearful, hiding behind the master

I do not know if everyone has ever stared at the portrait of the deceased, of course, that would be a form of disrespect

Master, can you tell that I have been possessed?

The female ghost asked in a low voice, her gaze strangely sinister

Later I learned that every time the master wanted to attract business, he would use this trick to deliberately draw others' attention and then pretend to be a master expert

The master cast a dissatisfied glance at me

He is not fond of cleanliness; sometimes he wears the same shirt for 4 days without washing it! Moreover, he enjoys flirting with women, and it is said that he learned this from a few unscrupulous senior colleagues, approaching beautiful women whenever he sees them

At this moment, I realized that despite my master’s unkempt appearance, going four or five days without a shower, never shaving, disliking to wear socks, and always taking an interest in the pretty girls by the roadside

Upon entering the inner hall, as soon as I stepped through the door, the master and the diagram book both slightly furrowed their brows. I also felt a chill run through my body, thinking it was due to the air conditioning in summer. However, the master quietly advised me, "Xiao Sen, be careful, breathe less; the yin energy here is very strong."

I nodded and walked into the inner hall

A cold, deep female voice, precisely that of the old female ghost, accompanied by another voice that is aged, rough, yet tinged with a weeping tone

Old Li speaks in a slow and deliberate manner, much like an old man

The old female ghost actually came to us for this matter! This surprises me a bit; aren't ghosts supposed to be heartless? How could they have feelings? Do they still wish to reunite?

At this moment, I unexpectedly heard the sound of someone speaking coming from the inner hall

That is the aura of a ghost

The face of the old woman across from me is terrifyingly pale, and I dare not look directly at it

The master suddenly asked me

As soon as I sat down, I heard a buzzing sound coming from the doorway; it was the talisman placed by the master reacting! There must be a ghostly presence colliding with our room

Regarding my master, Jiang Tianxin, I must say a few words

Inside, there is complete darkness, with only two small lights shining, emitting a faint glow

This sudden occurrence astonished everyone around.

300,000 was quickly deposited into the master's bank account. It should be noted that Uncle Jiang has a particular fondness for banks. He claims that all banks are excellent places for financial transactions, and he also enjoys having multiple savings books. He has opened an account at every bank, large or small, as long as they are accessible to the public.

In the evening, unable to sleep, I went out for a stroll alone

I was so frightened that I fell to the ground, my legs trembling uncontrollably, almost wetting my pants

"As long as I can see you and the picture book, I am called Jiang Tianxin."

I felt a sudden shock in my heart

Why are we just sitting here? Watching an old man on the verge of death? He has already been possessed by a ghost, and yet he doesn't tell us the truth. Why did he even bring us here?

Why is Senior Jiang leaving

This is my master

However, when I faced this old photograph, I truly felt as if it was staring at me, a very real sensation, and I couldn't help but take a step back, my legs almost giving way.

At that moment, I realized that if I didn't run, I would definitely be caught by that old female ghost. So, I quickly turned around and sprinted away, colliding with several bodyguards along the way, and hurried back to my room

I am his only disciple, and I have always believed that he took me as his apprentice because of fate

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Old Li spoke up and directly invited us to gather in the inner hall.

Have your son prepare 300,000 RMB; after receiving the money, I will proceed with the soul summoning.

Why is it that one would take possession of their own son and refuse to let go

To get back to the point, let us first discuss Old Li's matter

The master sat down on the first chair beside the main seat.

Mother, please spare me and leave my body alone

The master is not afraid, but this is the first time I have encountered such a scene, and I suddenly feel a bit timid

Kosen, can you guess how old he is

This is clearly Old Li! He is actually begging for mercy! As soon as I heard this, I immediately stopped in my tracks and hid to eavesdrop.

Indeed, it is the esteemed senior; I kindly request a gathering in the inner hall

At 52 years old, one is just like at 80! Even aging shouldn't be this severe

As soon as the master said this, the bodyguards surrounding him immediately approached, each one a formidable figure, clearly skilled martial artists.

However, he is a good person, a truly good person

As a result, I often found a savings book tucked away in the corners, and it contained a considerable amount of money.

Old Li sat alone in the main seat of the inner hall. At that moment, I noticed behind him a black-and-white photograph of an old woman, her smile eerie, with her hair styled in a bun.

Someone asked

As he spoke, the master pulled me out of the inner hall. I must say, as soon as I stepped out of the main door, the sunlight hit me, and I immediately felt a jolt of energy, becoming lively at once. Moreover, I could see faint black currents dispersing around me.

Yes, and it seems that this ghost has not left your body yet

But this foul uncle actually told me: "It's just fun, that's why I accepted you."

Hmph, once the matter is accomplished, I will naturally release you. Your father, that despicable man, thinks that dying will settle everything? When that spirit medium summons your father's soul, I will ensure he is utterly terrified, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart! Back then, he and that little wretch...

I hope you can help me find someone

more than 70, around 80

Almost every feng shui master, whether local or from the mainland, bowed and paid their respects to my master. Following behind, I truly felt a sense of pride and authority.

Perhaps sensing my astonishment, the master spoke to me softly: "This is called a dream soul. Those who are frequently visited by shadowy spirits in their dreams will age more rapidly. However, seeing him age to this extent suggests that it is not merely a simple case of dream visitation."

At that moment, I saw my master raise an eyebrow at me, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth

However, when my master entered, everyone made way for him

The master has propped his feet up on the table, and in that demeanor, I truly worship him

However, he truly holds a significant position in this circle

What reason do I have to trust you

Are you a summoner of spirits

After receiving the money, the master naturally indulged himself, leaving me alone in the villa provided by Old Li's family, while he went off to enjoy himself.

He always says: "The money we earn is from the dead, so we should spend it early"

Who

Please call me the Yin-Yang Agent, it sounds much better. However, I can also be considered a soul summoner. What is it? Do you have something you would like to ask of me?

The old female ghost across spoke in a chilling tone, causing the temperature in the surroundings to drop several degrees.

And I have saved my own life several times because of this sentence

The master remained calm, even when facing ghosts, as if he were a police officer interrogating a suspect

At that time, it was truly not easy to visit Hong Kong. I was ten years old, which was in 1999, when Hong Kong had just returned to China. Both flights and ferries were still under construction.

The master stood up directly, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation.

The estate of Old Li's family is truly vast, and there are many patrolling guards

He is quite a good man, with clear brows and bright eyes. I cannot say how deep his knowledge is, but it is said that he is a prominent figure in the circle. However, he became a medium, or a soul summoner, simply to avoid trouble. I once heard that he ventured into the underworld alone seven times in one night, each time bringing back a ghostly assistant, which infuriated the underworld and led them to vow to punish him, but in the end, nothing came of it.

The Li family's residence is indeed impressive, as it took us more than 10 minutes to walk from the outer area of the estate to the inner hall. This is in Hong Kong, a place where every inch of land is precious

My late partner, who has been gone for many years, I wish to reunite with him for a moment. However, he has been dead for many years, and I cannot find him. Therefore, I have attached myself to my son, hoping that you, the spirit medium, can assist me.

Do ghosts have emotions

I believe that this is certainly not because Old Li wants to save electricity; it must be due to some special reason, and the bodyguards and security personnel around do not approach the inner hall

The master spoke beside me

Hmph, he is Old Li, 52 years old this year

Thus, now that I have grown up, I have never been short of money, yet I do not possess great wealth; this is all influenced by his philosophy

At that moment, I accidentally kicked the vase behind me, producing a sound, and the voices coming from inside immediately ceased.

Certainly, he has never been short of money, yet he does not possess great wealth

It is possible that I am unfamiliar with the route, or perhaps it is an issue with the design of the estate, or maybe it is fate that has guided me, but I unexpectedly found myself wandering near the inner hall

The master said loudly

The master spoke while placing his hand on the table, gently tapping the surface. Across from him, Old Li's face transformed, resembling that of the old woman in the photograph.

When we arrived at Old Li's estate in Hong Kong, almost all the feng shui masters were present

After Old Li sat down, the master unexpectedly stood up and insisted on taking me away

However, after I looked at it a few more times, I realized that the old woman in the photo seemed to be staring at me...

I was lost in thought when an old man emerged from the manor. His hair was white and he was slightly hunched over, walking with the aid of a cane.

It is evident that one is in the twilight years of life
