Chapter 129: The Evil Old House (Part )

To determine whether a house is haunted, you can observe the surroundings, the feng shui, and the fortune.

The Zhao family's old house is quite large, with walls built to defend against enemies. The courtyard wall is high, but the stone wall is covered with black spots, moss is spreading under the wall, and the corners are moist and black.

There are several clusters of snake grass growing by the wall, and the red fruits on the snake grass are blooming brightly.

Snake grass likes shade and is said to easily attract snakes to live there. Its fruits are brightly colored and it is said that eating the fruits of snake grass will cause one to develop the characteristics of a snake.

This kind of grass is difficult to grow in a positive place, and only in places where negative energy gathers can snake grass grow in clusters. The Zhao family's old house faces south and is a common Feng Shui direction. But snake grass can grow in this sunny corner, which shows how much negative energy there is.

Looking at the situation in the house again, just a quick glance gave me a sense of horror and gloom. The roof was layered and gloomy, as if it was covered with dark clouds, making me feel as if there was no sun in it.

Li Daoxuan took out the Bagua mirror, pinched the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the Five Elements of Wind, Fire, and Fire. He looked at the Zhao family's old house and calculated with a calm face.

"Even the Tai Sui God is unwilling to return to his position. This Zhao family's old house is really evil." Marveling at the danger of the Zhao family's old house, Li Daoxuan was secretly alert.

Boss Zhao led his men to the gate of the Zhao family's old house, took out a bunch of keys, and selected a strangely shaped key to open the lock of the gate.

Li Daoxuan followed behind him, carefully observing the surrounding situation with his peripheral vision.

The cracked walls on both sides of the gate, the weed-covered corridors, and the yard with fallen leaves all give people a feeling of desolation.

Especially under the eaves of the tiled house, there were spider webs everywhere, with huge black spiders lying on them. When they heard the noise, they climbed into the eaves.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of mice, and even black centipedes can be seen running around in the cracks.

The five poisons are all present, and a hundred yins gather together.

The Zhao family’s old house is by no means an ordinary haunted house; it has even become a tomb.

Walking into the courtyard, you will see a three-story circular building. Although someone has come to clean it, the feeling of dilapidation can be seen everywhere. The building is surrounded by curved walls made of bricks and tiles, with small windows on them. There are strange yellow talismans on the walls, and two lions guarding the main entrance.

On the left and right sides are the kitchen and the wooden-tiled houses where ordinary servants live. It looks like they have not been lived in for a long time, and many of the houses in the corners have collapsed.

Such a dilapidated place is actually the original residence of the Zhao family, which really makes people wonder.

After all, in this era, returning to one's roots is a big deal. No matter where one lives, one must never neglect one's ancestral home. For example, although the Li family lives in Jinling, they still send people to guard the old house in Lijia Village, and clean and repair it every day. It will never be as dilapidated as the Zhao family's old house, which doesn't even have anyone to guard it.

It seems there is a reason why Mr. Zhao is haunted by evil spirits in this old house.

Pushing open the door of the building, there was a creaking sound of wood, and a gust of cold wind blew past, sweeping through everyone's body.

The servants who followed him shuddered and wrapped their clothes tightly.

Many people had white hair on their faces and felt goose bumps all over their bodies.

They spoke in a low voice, and the sharp-eared Li Daoxuan could hear it.

"That's strange, why do you feel so flustered?"

"When this cold wind blows, do you think there will be...ghosts?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. It won't be good if the young master hears."

While the servants were talking in private, Li Daoxuan had already followed Boss Zhao into the house.

The Zhao family's old house was built in the Qingming period, with upright wooden beams and solid tiles. There was a void above the beams, and a patio in the center of the house.

The ground was paved with stone slabs. When he stepped on it, he felt a chill. Li Daoxuan circulated his Dan Qi a little bit and eliminated the chill. "I was attacked by Yin Qi as soon as I entered the door. How dark is this Yin house?" Li Daoxuan complained in his heart. He didn't expect that the Yin Qi in the Zhao family's old house was so dense.

I have experienced the events in Longling, but that Longling is still Longling after all. The evil aura there is far from being as thick as this.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had come to the underworld.

As soon as you enter the room, the negative energy will corrode your body.

If people live here for a long time, within three years, they will be plagued by various diseases, have nightmares, and finally die tragically.

"You guys clean up this house. We will live here for the next two days. Young Taoist priest, you can look around the house. I'm going to the ancestral home to pay homage to our ancestors." Boss Zhao gave the order, and the servants responded one after another.

Li Daoxuan nodded, and then he relaxed and took a walk in the courtyard.

The Zhao family's old house is very large, with three entrances and three exits in the front and back. One can imagine how many people lived here when it was at its peak, and the corridors and rooms were filled with people.

In the hall, there are aisles on both sides leading to other places.

Li Daoxuan looked at the huge portrait of the deity in the hall, which was a picture of Laojun riding a green bull. Every stroke on it was exquisite, and it might be a priceless antique in the future.

However, the portrait of Laojun was somewhat stained, and his face was covered with mold. On the table for offering sacrifices to Laojun were fruits and an incense burner, but there was no incense in the incense burner, and the fruits had already rotted.

"Alas, why treat the Taoist master like this?" Li Daoxuan sighed, took down the dustpan and swept away the dust on the table, threw away the rotten fruit, tidied up the table, and then worshiped Laojun.

After three bows and nine kowtows, he called out "Three Infinitesimals". Then a gust of cold wind came from the aisles on both sides, blowing the portrait of Laojun, making dust fly and his clothes flutter.

The rushing cold wind made Li Daoxuan squint his eyes.

When the wind died down, he looked at the portrait of Laojun again, his eyes filled with astonishment and a complicated expression.

Just looking at the portrait of Laojun, a line of blood and tears slowly flowed down from Laojun's eyes, dripping onto the table and turning into a pool of blood.

“It is a great sin for Laojun to shed tears. What happened in the old house of the Zhao family that made Laojun shed tears of blood?” Li Daoxuan was a little confused. He had never seen the portrait of Laojun shed tears of blood.

This was a warning from heaven and also a compassion from the Taoist ancestor. It seemed to be telling Li Daoxuan that there might be injustice in the Zhao family's old house.

"Please rest assured, Taoist Master. I will definitely support Haoran and eliminate the devil to defend the Dao!" Li Daoxuan stood where he was and bowed to Laojun calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, the gloomy wind stopped blowing. When he looked up at the portrait of Laojun again, the tears of blood he had shed had disappeared.

Li Daoxuan felt heavy in his heart, knowing that this might lead to consequences.

If it was really an injustice, and he was just trying to redress the injustice, he would naturally take the responsibility. But in this old Zhao family house, there were Zhao family members everywhere, so he had to be careful.

Just when I was thinking about how to start, I heard ghosts howling and wolves howling coming from the backyard.

“Ghost! Ghost!!”

"Help! There's a ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan quickly walked towards the backyard, shaking off the dust, and shouted at him: "Where is the ghost?!"

A servant came running over and when he saw him, he looked as if he had just survived a disaster. He collapsed to the ground and pointed at the dark corridor in the backyard and said, "Right, right there! What I just saw was a female ghost with long hair and dressed in red! So scary!"

"A female ghost in red?" Li Daoxuan frowned and made hand gestures, then comforted the servant a few times and walked towards the corridor.
