Chapter 4: Is There a Ghost in Your House

Chen Sanjin stated earnestly: "After the matter is completed, there will surely be a generous reward for you."

The woman on the bed regained her tranquility, emitting even breaths in a serene manner, as if she were sleeping normally

Chen Sanjin said in a deep voice: "My wife's condition is more serious, so it is also ... ... "

He fixed his gaze on the woman's two eyes, casually beckoning with his finger and said: "Come out, I will escort you on your journey to reincarnation. If I have to drag you out, you know what the outcome will be"

At the same time, the woman's body began to tremble violently, to the extent that she was rolling incessantly on the bed.

He unbuttoned the woman's shirt on the bed, and slapped a yellow paper on her belly button. Strangely, the incomprehensible characters on the yellow paper slowly faded away, and after two minutes, all the densely packed characters disappeared without a trace.

"Oh my, how strange is this?" Despite being somewhat prepared, Chen Sanjin was still taken aback.

"Three" suddenly shouted "three" directly, and with his right hand reaching into the bag, he pulled out a piece of talisman paper. Suddenly, Chen Sanjin's "daughter" let out a sharp scream, and the person abruptly sat up, then began to whimper incessantly in their throat. Following that, the person closed their eyes again and fell straight back onto the bed.

Chen Sanjin brought Xiang Que into the main house, and then headed straight to the upstairs bedroom. Chen Sanjin's wife, son, and daughter all lived here, and now all three of them were facing problems

A faint shadow floated in the dark place under the bed, staring intently at the talisman paper trembling in Xiang Que's hand

It has become much more serious than before. Before I left, I only felt that our bedroom was somewhat chilly. At that time, I thought it was probably due to the cold weather, and she just liked to talk nonsense and stay in dark places. At most, she would cry and make a fuss, biting anyone who came near. I thought she was upset because of some recent family matters, but now it seems...

"You chat so much, I love listening to it, I am just a proud wealthy person," Xiang Que said with a smile.

He can accept things like feng shui; in this day and age, which businessman is not superstitious about feng shui? However, the matter of possession by a ghost is somewhat beyond comprehension, far exceeding the understanding of ordinary people, far too much.

Chen Sanjin stated that his daughter has also been in a coma for a month, relying solely on injections to sustain her bodily needs, and the doctors have not reached any conclusions after their examination

However, this individual has been at the ancient well in Zhongnan Mountain for over ten years and has never taken action against formidable opponents. To put it bluntly, he lacks practical combat experience and has only engaged in theoretical discussions in the past. This time, he intends to hone his skills by stepping out into the world.

The shadow beneath the bed, upon hearing Xiang Que's words, ceased to tremble and slowly floated out from below, disappearing at the window

Chen Sanjin's gaze tightened slightly, and he nodded before saying: "Indeed, the rise of the Chen family is not in accordance with common logic"

After all, in a few more years, the ancient well view should be passed down to him

Chen Sanjin's "daughter" suddenly widened her eyes and quickly turned in one direction, mumbling a series of indistinct words, while the other party, who appeared quite composed, continued to gaze into her eyes with his hands behind his back

I will count to three; if you do not come out by then, the opportunity will be lost

Xiang Que leaned his head closely towards the other person's face and stared intently for a long time. The person on the bed had a calm appearance, but the area between his eyebrows was dark, indicating that misfortune had befallen him, though it was not serious. He turned around and said: "The doctor is not talking nonsense; your son is indeed not in any danger. Once this matter is resolved, he will wake up. Let's go, his issue is not significant; we should check on the other two."

"The one who just possessed your daughter was a minor ghost, but this one is different; it is a malevolent spirit." He pulled Xiang Que and said, "Don't go in there; you won't be able to handle it. Go get two basins of black dog blood and smear it all over the windows outside the bedroom. Then find a slaughterhouse and ask a cattle butcher to come over with his knife. Lastly, get some copper coins from the Qing Dynasty; the more, the better."

The rise of the Chen family should make you understand that there are many things in this world that cannot be viewed through conventional reasoning, right? So I assume you wouldn't find anything strange upon seeing something, would you?" Xiang Que, with his left hand holding yellow paper, lifted the blanket covering the woman with his right hand, and then skillfully unbuttoned her top, revealing a patch of delicate white skin.

After Chen Sanjin listened to Xiang Que, he picked up his phone and instructed someone to quickly bring these items over. In fact, it was not necessary for Xiang Que to be so complicated in his approach; at least a few of the items he carried with him would have sufficed for him to engage with the things inside the house after entering.

After putting the talisman paper back in the bag, he said: "Considering that you were also forced into this, I won't hold it against you. For now, find a place to stay by yourself. Once I finish my business, I will write you a death talisman so you can be reborn."

Before even stepping inside the house, a chilling wind slowly blew out from the gap beneath the door, causing a shiver to run through one's body. As Chen Sanjin's hand barely touched the doorknob, he felt an icy sensation in his palm, akin to being pricked by needles. Inside the house, intermittent sounds that were not quite human echoed faintly.

Chen Sanjin was stunned for quite a while before he finally accepted Xiang Que's words. He knew that the rise of the Chen family was due to the guidance of a Taoist priest who had advised his great-grandfather to build a courtyard on this mountain decades ago, which became the ancestral home of the Chen family. Following the priest's instructions, the entire residence was constructed according to feng shui principles. Since then, the Chen family has prospered in business, developing into the vast commercial empire it is today

This is my son, Chen Xia. He has been in a coma since a car accident over a month ago. Upon entering a bedroom, Chen Sanjin pointed to a man in his twenties lying on the bed and said, "The doctor talks nonsense, saying they can't find any issues but that his life is not in danger. Yet he just won't wake up, ultimately concluding that he is in a coma due to a head injury."

Chen Sanjin stood with his mouth agape, pointing at the window where the shadow had just disappeared, and said to Que: "To put it simply, your daughter is possessed by a ghost, but it is just a minor spirit that does not pose any real threat to her. It merely causes her to fall into a deep sleep, preventing her from living like a normal person. However, if this continues for a long time, the vital energy within her will be depleted, and at that point, she will be completely finished. For now, just let her sleep for a while; tomorrow she can eat something light and after a few days of rest, she should be able to recover. Originally, if the mirror on your front door had not broken, these entities would not have been able to enter. Once it shattered, all sorts of malevolent beings could come in. That bagua mirror is capable of warding off ordinary malevolent spirits."

Without explaining to Que, he directly asked Chen Sanjin to take him to his wife's room to continue observing

Xiang Que took out a piece of yellow paper from the bag he carried with him. Chen Sanjin discovered that the paper was covered with a series of symbols that looked like ghostly scribbles, densely packed across the entire sheet of yellow paper

Suddenly, the woman's eyes opened wide, the sclera completely white with no hint of color, resembling two white beads embedded in the eye sockets, which was quite eerie

In the room of Chen Sanjin's daughter, a young woman lay on the bed, her complexion frighteningly pale, yet her lips were a deep shade of purple. Her eyes were tightly closed; although she appeared to be in a coma, her facial expressions changed every so often, as if she were struggling with something. The entire scene was exceedingly eerie, as if the body truly belonged to this woman, yet the expressions seemed to belong to another person, creating a profound contradiction.

Xiang Que Youyou let out a sigh and said with a sense of frustration, "Don't mention this matter, it troubles me."
