Chapter 8: Haunted Villa
"Master Ni, this is a check for 200,000 yuan." Mao Xueying took out the checkbook, signed her name and handed it to me sincerely. When her eyes rested on Duan Gang, she suddenly smiled.
Even I shuddered unconsciously when I saw Mao Xueying's smile! It seems that Duan Gang will suffer a lot in the future.
Mao Xueying left a check for two hundred thousand and left with Duan Gang.
Counting the gains of these days, the county magistrate has 50,000 yuan in his card, plus Mao Xueying's total of 250,000 yuan. Xiangyuan County is located in a remote area, and there is no place to spend money.
I spent some peaceful time at home.
On this day, my cousin suddenly came running over in a hurry.
"Ni Ge, Ni Ge, good news!"
I walked over to him in confusion and teased him, "What good news is this, cousin? Is he getting married? Whose daughter is that? Why didn't you let me check it out first?"
"Me!" My cousin was choking on the phone and looked at me complainingly: "Ni Ge, can't you just not mention this?"
These days, I often get together with Tietou. My cousin is the busiest one. His phone receives a call almost every ten minutes, all from my aunt. In less than a week, my cousin has seen almost all the unmarried girls in the county, from 30 to 16 years old.
In the words of my cousin, no matter how beautiful a fairy is, you will get tired of her if you see her too much!
Because of this, my cousin sighed every day and wanted to escape back to Dongmen City. But my second uncle spoke up.
"If you don't find me a good daughter-in-law, then Dongmen City can just dream on!"
My cousin couldn't run away, so he had to hide. Whenever he had time, he would hide in Tietou and me. Tietou and I were forced to listen to our cousin's experience. This made Tietou, who usually liked to flirt with other girls, start to be self-disciplined .
I laughed and said, "Okay! As long as you don't let me be the audience, what good news did my cousin give you that makes you so happy?"
When the good news was mentioned, my cousin's eyes lit up: "Ni Ge, what do you think of this villa?"
As he spoke, my cousin handed the phone to me.
I saw that this was a two-story duplex villa. Although the surrounding environment could not be seen from the picture, the whole house was very grand and full of retro style. It had a parking room, a balcony, and everything else.
"Great, how about my cousin, is he planning to buy it? This villa is estimated to cost at least several million, right?"
Hehe! My cousin smiled obscenely and whispered, "This is the house of my boss's friend. That guy hangs out abroad every day, and I don't know what happened, but he built this villa in the western suburbs of Dongmen City. He has never lived in it since he bought it. Now, he plans to transfer it to my boss. And my boss is giving me a bargain. The market value of this villa is 3.8 million, but I only want 500,000."
I nodded in agreement: "That's good news."
My cousin looked at me meaningfully and said, "Ni Ge, aren't you going to buy him?"
"What a joke! I just came back from the Taoist temple. How can I have half a million on me?"
Hehe! My cousin came closer in a lewd way, his eyes twinkling with an inexplicable brilliance. "It's okay, you already have a check for 200,000, I'll cover the rest for you."
I stepped back quickly, thinking that maybe my cousin had gone on so many blind dates that his sexual orientation had changed! "Cousin, just stand there and talk. Well, well, I still like women."
"Bah! I don't like men either, your cousin! I mean, Ni Ge, Xiangyuan County is still too small for you. You should go to a big city to develop. Besides, with your ability, you can definitely achieve great things in Dongmen City. Also, there is a folk organization called Metaphysics Society in Dongmen City. Those guys are all well-known figures. Your world should be there."
Metaphysics Society! I have always stayed in Taoist temples , but I didn’t know there was such a group.
Although I have the magic of common people given by my master, the practice of cultivation requires tolerance of all rivers. After leaving the Taoist temple, I have no one to rely on, and I really need a place like this to enrich myself.
"What do you think? Ni Ge, make up your mind quickly, because this opportunity will be gone forever. Don't hesitate, you can't find such a good thing anywhere. Come on, tell my old man, I'll accompany you to see the house!" My cousin asked at first, and then he just couldn't wait to pull me into the car.
"Cousin, is there really such a thing as that house? You are not using me as a shield to run away to Dongmen City?" Seeing that my cousin was even more anxious than me, I immediately doubted his motives.
"Hehe!" The cousin laughed wickedly. "Ni Ge, you are the wise one! But the villa is real. I just helped you and ran away at the same time."
My cousin drove very fast and soon saw my second uncle.
When my second uncle heard that I was going to Dongmen City to buy a house, he immediately smiled and said, "Ni Ge, young people should go out and explore the world. I didn't expect that my kid could be reliable for once."
My cousin looked like he had eaten honey, his eyes were curved with smiles. After getting the consent of my second uncle, my cousin immediately took me to pack up and drove his Buick to Dongmen City.
Along the way, my cousin kept shouting pop songs at the top of his lungs. I had to mourn for him. How big must the psychological shadow of this blind date be? It made a grown man howl for a whole day!
Dongmen City is more than 600 kilometers away from Xiangyuan County. My cousin and I walked and stopped along the way and rested for a night. The next morning, we finally arrived at the villa in the western suburbs of Dongmen City.
Looking up, this villa is a single-family house. The nearest residential area, Donghua Village, is a ten-minute walk away.
Next to the villa, about 500 to 600 meters away, there is a wall blocking off the area. Inside the wall is the famous Paradise Cemetery area in Dongmen City.
The whole villa is located in a flat open area. There is a bamboo forest in front of the door.
"No wonder the boss wants to give me a bargain! Damn it, living next to the cemetery, I still feel uncomfortable!" My cousin felt a chill when he looked at the cemetery.
"Haha, what a great place!" I praised it. As a person with Nine Yin constitution, my body aura is naturally close to Yin energy. The most important point is that this is the most suitable place for me to practice.
"Great place! Ni Ge, are you sick?" My cousin reached out and touched my forehead in surprise!
I opened my cousin's hand and said, "This is definitely not a place for living people. First of all, look at the bamboo forest. Bamboo is hollow and likes dark and humid places. It is the place where sneaky parasites like to live. And this bamboo forest is between the residential area and the villa. I think it is also to isolate the yang energy. Look at the layout of this house. Most houses will choose to sit north and face south. But this house has the main door facing west. Haha! It's really a big deal!"
I sighed and continued, "Originally, this kind of layout should only be inhabited by ghosts, but there should be a magic array in this house, so we only feel the cold air when we come here, but we don't encounter any ghostly aura. Ordinary people can live here, but they will definitely get seriously ill after a long time."
"Ni Ge, let's go! Since this place is like this, we don't want it anymore!" After hearing what I said, my cousin immediately pulled me away.
I stopped my cousin and said, "Cousin, other people can't live in this house, but I can. Have you forgotten why the master took me away?"
My cousin was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Nine Yin physique, yes, Ni Ge, you can do it, but if you are the only one living in this house, then it won't be sold at all. The bastard wants 500,000 from me, I'll ask the boss to cut the price in half."
"Forget it! Cousin. I want this house. Five hundred thousand is worth it. Besides, how could it be so cheap without all these things? It's like it's given away for free!" I interrupted my cousin's impulse to make a call with a smile.
"Well, okay! As long as you like it, Ni Ge, what else can I say?" said the cousin helplessly.
The matter was settled. My cousin made a phone call and soon someone from the real estate agency came over.
This is a middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle manner. He stopped the car far away and looked at us hesitantly. Seeing that we were looking at him, he came over reluctantly.
"Um, I'm a salesperson from Ted Real Estate Agency. This is my business card. Just call me Zhang Wude. Um! Um, do you two want to see this villa?" The salesperson Zhang Wude asked hesitantly.
"Yes, Mr. Qian asked me to come and see this house." My cousin said readily.
"Uh! Well, here are the keys to the house. Please feel free to go wherever you like. I'll be waiting in the car and won't accompany you. If you don't like it when you come out later, just return the keys to me."
Hearing what his cousin said, Zhang Wude readily handed the keys to his cousin, laughed, turned around and trotted to his car.
My cousin was confused by Zhang Wude's strange words and actions, and complained: "What kind of people are hired in companies now! They are not even willing to accompany clients to look at houses!"
I laughed and said, "You can't blame my cousin for this. You'll understand when you accompany me into the house."
I took the key and opened the door of the villa. A warm breath rushed out of the room. I immediately felt refreshed.
"Ni Ge, it's so cold outside, why does it feel warm in the house?" asked my cousin suspiciously.
Hehehe! I laughed happily: "It's true! My cousin has found a treasure! This is an extremely yin place! What a big deal, really a big deal!"
My cousin was even more confused when he saw my reaction: "Ni Ge, are you okay? Why did you become abnormal the moment you saw this house? And why did this place become an extremely yin place again?"
I smiled happily and looked around. The furniture was complete and the room was clean. It was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly. I nodded again and said, "Cousin, the so-called extremely yin place actually refers to a good cemetery. Burying the ancestors here is a place that can bring blessings to future generations. And this villa, in my opinion, is not for people to live in, but more like a hotel for wandering souls passing by."
After a pause, I continued, "The good thing about this villa is that it is built on the critical point of extreme yin. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, so we felt a warm feeling when we came in. However, the basement of this villa can be used as a refrigerator."
