Chapter 130 Whose House?

When negative energy gathers together, it forms a yin house, which can easily attract ghosts.

But it was daytime now. Li Daoxuan estimated the time and it should be before noon, which was the time when the Yang energy was the strongest among the twelve hours of the day.

Even in a cemetery, it would be hard for ghosts to show up at this time, right?

Li Daoxuan was puzzled and walked towards the direction the servant pointed.

This is considered to be the deepest part of the Zhao family's inner courtyard. In the past, it was where the female family members lived. It was unlikely for outsiders to come in, and they could only enter and exit freely after it was abandoned.

Walking along the dark passage, you can see spreading weeds and moss everywhere.

The puddles all over the stone steps were formed by years of rain. One can imagine what the scene would be like in the courtyard if it rained heavily.

After passing through a door, a gloomy feeling arises.

The four rooms are connected in parallel, and there are steps and floating cloud sculptures at the door.

In front of the door is a courtyard with a rockery and a pond. However, the water in the pond is green, and it is already a pool of dead and smelly water.

When Li Daoxuan looked at an open hall, it was empty. This must have been the Zhao family's main hall, used for dining and meeting guests, but now everything in it had been moved away, leaving only a desk.

"Why are old houses abandoned so completely?" Li Daoxuan was puzzled.

He wanted to take a few more looks, but suddenly felt someone peeping at him from behind. He turned around and looked towards the end of the corridor of the hall. He was startled to see a woman in red clothes and long hair standing there quietly.

She was just as people imagined, with long hair covering her face and making it difficult to see her features clearly.

Li Daoxuan stared at the woman's face hidden by her long hair, as if looking into her eyes, and his hand unconsciously reached for the yellow talisman in his sleeve.

Before I could take a closer look, I saw the woman in red floating towards the corner.

It was impossible to say that he was not afraid at all. Li Daoxuan touched the yellow talisman and felt a little relieved. Now that he was here, he controlled his inner fear and strode forward with an appearance of being fearless. He followed the woman in red and came to the corner at the end of the yard. He saw a red shadow disappearing around the other corner. Li Daoxuan did not stop and immediately caught up with her.

But when Li Daoxuan arrived at the place where the woman in red had just stood, the woman in red had disappeared.

It was extremely quiet all around, not even the sound of insects.

The noises of the Zhao family servants in the distance gradually faded away, and all that was left was silence.

Li Daoxuan could hear his own breathing and his own heartbeat. This kind of silence was extraordinary.

Standing at this fork in the road, looking at the rows of rooms with open doors, he said, "If you have any grievances, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you. If you have no grievances, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he saw the woman in red appear again in the distance of the corridor.

The other person stood there quietly and turned around slowly.

But just as he turned halfway, the next second, the figure of the woman in red appeared in front of Li Daoxuan.

She raised her hand, and the red robe moved with it. Li Daoxuan's nerves tensed up instantly, and his right hand hidden under the robes instantly turned into a thunder finger.

If this woman in red dares to attack, she will know how powerful Wuliang Tianzun is.

But it was not as Li Daoxuan expected. The woman in red just pointed to a place and then floated in.

She seemed to be leading the way, wanting to tell Li Daoxuan what was in the room.

Li Daoxuan's heart trembled, and he quickly followed. His red robes moved in the wind, and his mouth moved slightly. He quietly chanted a spell to purify the mind and drive away the spirits to protect the gods, and then he came to the door of the house.

Just at the moment of looking, Li Daoxuan felt his scalp tingling. Right in front of him, there was another statue of the Virgin Mary facing the door.

The Mother of No Birth was dressed in red clothes and sat on the table with a thousand hands holding ritual instruments.

In a trance, he seemed to see light in the eyes of the Immortal Mother and a faint crying sound echoing in his ears.

"Please, please...let me go." "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

"Woo, woo, cluck, cluck."

The intermittent crying sounded like a little girl begging in my ear. The crying sound came from far away and gradually became clearer. However, the sound was like crying, but the closer it got, the more it sounded like laughter.

Li Daoxuan felt that someone was standing behind him, but when he turned his head back, there was nothing behind him.

"Huh? Another illusion?! Playing tricks!" Li Daoxuan immediately made sword gestures with his hands and stepped on the magic circle.

"God of the Big Dipper, please protect me, and I will order you to arrest me immediately!"

After the incantation, he formed the ghost-subduing fan seal and shouted at one side: "Om Hum Hum Dali Suoha!"

This is a hidden spell, which is protected by the Seven Star Fighting God. Chant this method, practice it with Qi, pinch the magic formula and step on the fighting spirit, then you will be immune to all ghosts and evil spirits.

After finishing the spell, he quickly moved the basic seal and shouted towards a dark place in the corridor: "Come!"

Just then, a sharp cry was heard, and a boy in a yellow robe appeared out of nowhere, fell to the ground and disappeared.

"Hmph!" Li Daoxuan snorted lightly, retracted his gesture, and looked around coldly. The strange silence receded like the tide.

The voices of Zhao family servants could be heard clearly from a distance.

Li Daoxuan looked into the room again and found that the statue of the Immortal Mother seemed to have changed no longer.

When he walked into the house, he saw that it was fully furnished, even the quilt was in good order.

There is not much dust on the floor inside the house, which is in stark contrast to the main room outside. It is obvious that someone cleans this room regularly, otherwise it would be hard to explain why it is so clean.

All the wardrobes in the room were there. When I opened them, I saw neatly stacked clothes, all clean women's clothes.

After closing the wardrobe, Li Daoxuan looked at the bunk bed on the side.

This bedstead is exquisitely crafted, with red cloth covering all four sides. A string of bells hangs beside the bed, with a jade plaque on top.

Li Daoxuan leaned over to take a closer look and saw a few words written on the jade token: "Madam Li Xiangyu".

"Li Xiangyu? Same last name as me? Madam? Which daughter-in-law of the Zhao family lives here? The wife of the eldest Zhao is still alive, the wife of the second Zhao divorced early, and it is indeed strange that the third Zhao has not married at such an age. Could it be that Li Xiangyu is the daughter-in-law of the third Zhao? But why haven't I heard Mrs. Zhao mention her?" Li Daoxuan pondered in his heart and put down the jade tablet.

Looking around the clean and tidy bedroom, I saw a rag doll on the bed. It was obviously something prepared for the child, but it looked a little weird to see it on the bed.

After patrolling the room, Li Daoxuan found another hairpin on the table, lying alone, looking very out of place.

This hairpin is made of copper and is engraved with a phoenix and plum blossoms. The engraving is so fine that the plum blossom patterns are clearly visible.

As if his heart was beating, Li Daoxuan picked up the copper hairpin and put it in his arms as if possessed by a spirit. Then he strode out of the room and walked towards the main hall in the front yard.

He had almost finished looking at the Zhao family's old house and it was time to go back and reunite with everyone else.

When Li Daoxuan's figure disappeared, wind suddenly blew in the originally windless house.

With the sound of the door creaking, the door closed quietly.

In the dim shadows inside the house, a woman in red was sitting on the edge of the bed, embroidering with her head down. Drops of blood-red liquid rolled down on the white silk, and then turned into plum blossoms.

"Woo, woo no, don't kill me."

A sobbing sound was heard quietly, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the backyard.

　I went to Changshu today and came back too late, so I will update one chapter today. I have to go to Jiaxing on a business trip tomorrow night, and may also go to Anji, so I can't update twice a day in the next few days, but I won't stop updating. No matter how late it is, I will write at least one chapter. Next week, I will resume updating twice a day. I hope all book friends and Taoist friends will understand.
