First Chapter 22: Red Rope Attracts Ghosts
This village is just next to a provincial capital, but I am not in a position to reveal the exact location. Anyway, it didn't take long for the two of us to get to the house by plane. Half of the entire residential area was occupied by people from their village, and most of the remaining houses were empty or rented out, except for some that had been sold. Most of them were allocated to villagers who could not live in them.
Yuan Zhen had been waiting for a long time. He introduced us to the village chief. He was surprisingly not a big and strong man, but looked like he had some culture. We had a brief conversation, and what the village chief told us was basically the same as what Yuan Zhen had told us. However, he also revealed that this house had been decorated by an experienced person before, and that person told him that their family would have a bloody disaster and their lives would be at risk. After all, the village chief was still a villager, so he believed these things. In addition, he was not short of money, so he thought it was just a matter of paying some money, so he asked the expert to decorate several houses in his family.
The village chief couldn't tell what the expert had done, because the expert didn't allow anyone else to be present when he was arranging the house. The village chief originally thought that if a house was decorated by an expert, it would at least keep the family safe, if not get promoted or make a fortune. But he didn't expect that soon after the expert left, his family would have troubles one after another. He asked someone to take a look, but they couldn't explain it either. So, this time he asked us to come, hoping that we could take a look. If this continued, his family might be tossed apart.
After listening to the village chief's words, I realized that Qin Yiheng and I had become famous in this circle without realizing it. However, fame is false, and we still have to rely on real skills to make money, so we didn't delay any longer and went straight to see the house.
I can't describe how luxurious this village chief's house is. Anyway, I dare to conclude that he made a lot of money this time. This is a 6+1 type house that is rarely seen nowadays, that is, six floors for living, and the bottom floor is a garage. The first floor I mentioned later actually refers to the first floor for living, and the garage on the bottom floor is not included.
Starting from the first floor, he opened up the space between every two floors and installed stairs. In this way, the village chief and his wife lived on the first and second floors, the two floors above were for the eldest daughter, and the top two floors were for the youngest daughter. In this way, the family occupied half of the unit.
Qin Yiheng and I looked through each floor one by one, which was really exhausting. Fortunately, the decoration styles of these three families were different, so it looked a little fresh. Qin Yiheng walked around for a long time, looking around with a puzzled expression. I asked him if there was anything wrong with this house. He shook his head firmly and whispered to me that this house was really decorated by an expert. Judging from the layout of the house, even the plants in the room were carefully arranged. This family must not only make money but also have healthy people. It should not be as miserable as the village chief said.
Although I don't know much, from my personal experience, I can't feel anything unusual when I walk into these three houses. Seeing that Qin Yiheng didn't find anything, we returned to the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures.
Qin Yiheng said: "This house does not look like it has any problems now, because no one has died in the house, and no one has died suddenly around it. In addition, their family is prosperous and has a lot of people. Even passing ghosts will not stay here. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is basically a blessed house. Although a Feng Shui treasure land does not mean that there are no dirty things, at least it will use the energy of heaven and earth to slowly disperse these bad luck, evil spirits, and resentment. So it is definitely untenable to say that this house is a haunted house. In this case, it is very likely that the Feng Shui of this house is not as good as it looks on the surface. Unfortunately, Qin Yiheng himself only knows a little bit. Because in metaphysics, although exorcism and Feng Shui are related, there are still certain differences. This is a bit like geometry and algebra in mathematics. They can be said to be a subject, and there are also many similarities, but when you talk about it in detail, there are still big differences. This is why he can only see the fur of Feng Shui."
In this case, our trip would be in vain, because the problem is not something we can solve. But if I say I want to leave, I really can't bear to leave. Seeing that I can get one million yuan, I really can't bear to leave.
I asked Qin Yiheng if he could try to use some magic to take a look. He thought about it and said that he could try it, but it might be risky. If it was not done properly, it could easily get him into trouble.
I was also blinded by money , thinking that even if something happened, he would be there to protect me. Thinking of this, I discussed with Qin Yiheng and said that we should give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can go back home. This way, I will feel better if I don't make any money.
So, we started to prepare the things we needed. I just helped him carry the bags, which was actually a bit of free time. The things we prepared this time were not special. They were basically the same as before, except that he bought a lot of red thread. First, we soaked the red thread in the juice squeezed from plums, then unwound each bundle, twisted it into a strand, and then connected them together, so that it became a red rope that was dozens of meters long. Finally, we tied a few buckles in the middle of the red thread, tied a small bag of grains, and tied a small stone at each end of the thread. After all these preparations were completed, we returned to the village chief's house and asked everyone in the village chief's house to live outside tonight, and asked the village chief to tell the residents on the other side of the unit to take shelter temporarily. After everyone was evacuated, we waited in the village chief's house until it was completely dark.
We had a quick snack and smoked a few cigarettes. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. We waited patiently for a while and started to act at about 11 o'clock. Qin Yiheng sprinkled a lot of starch outside the gate of this building and smoothed it gently with his hands. Then he asked me to hold the other end of the line and stand in front of the door of the village chief's youngest daughter on the sixth floor. He told me not to let go of the red line in my hand. If I feel someone pushing me, I must immediately face the wall, close my eyes, and don't look back.
I didn't take it seriously before, but he suddenly told me these things so seriously that I immediately became nervous and asked him what he was doing. Qin Yiheng said that he wanted to lure ghosts into the building. At that time, the dirt would follow the red line and climb up. If the dirt stopped at a certain floor, it would prove that there was a problem with that floor. People's eyes must still have limitations, but these evil things can easily find the places in this house that have been tampered with, because if someone tampered with such a well-arranged house, the place where the tampering was done would definitely gather evil spirits because of the direction of the feng shui. Although this kind of evil spirit is not heavy, even he himself can't see it, but those evil things can definitely find it.
After hearing Qin Yiheng's explanation, my legs became weak. When I walked upstairs, I could always feel the red string in my hand moving. Actually, I knew it was all because of the red string, but I still couldn't stop sweating.
When I was almost standing on the sixth floor, I called out to the people downstairs, and he answered. Then I fell into a long wait. After a while, the lights in the corridor went out, and Qin Yiheng turned off the main power switch of this unit. It was dark all around, and my hearing became much more sensitive because of the darkness. I could vaguely hear Qin Yiheng busying himself downstairs. The distance was very far, and the corridor would refract the sound, so I couldn't hear what he was doing.
After standing there for a while, I felt relieved when I saw that nothing seemed to be wrong. The red thread in my hand was sticky. I didn't know if it was because of the plum juice or because I was sweating a lot. I was thinking about whether to hold it with my other hand. When I wiped my palm with my free hand, I suddenly felt the red thread on my hand move. At first I thought it was Qin Yiheng moving, but then the vibration began to continue with a frequency.
I consoled myself that all the storms had passed, and this little thing was nothing to be afraid of, but my scalp still tingled instantly. If this frequency was deliberately created by Qin Yiheng to play a prank on me, it would be understandable; if not, then it would really scare people to pee their pants - because this frequency is too much like a person's footsteps, and this person must be walking upstairs step by step without hurrying. Needless to say, Qin Yiheng actually attracted the wronged soul here.
I held my breath and dared not move. I could even feel the shaking point on the red line slowly approaching me. I instinctively wanted to see clearly ahead, but although my eyes could adapt to some of the darkness, my vision was still limited. I wanted to run away. I felt that the thing had already walked up the stairs to the sixth floor. I became more and more nervous, and even my hands were shaking. At this time, I desperately wanted to have a little light. With this thought, I wanted to use my hand to take out the lighter in my pocket. Who knew that the more nervous I was, the less accurate my hand was. After this struggle, the red line in my hand actually fell off! I was already in a mess. This time, when the line in my hand fell off, I was even more at a loss. In addition, the visibility was really bad. I quickly bent down and felt for a long time but couldn't find the end of the line. Fortunately, although the previous experiences did not yield much, at least I was more courageous. After a few seconds, I calmed down, took out the lighter to light it, and picked up the line again.
This time I learned my lesson. I held the thread tightly in my hand, and my other hand couldn't help but use a lighter to illuminate the stairs in front of me. Fortunately, there was nothing there, otherwise I would have been scared to death. The lighter soon became too hot to touch, so I had to extinguish the flame. The corridor instantly became dark again. I had been focusing on looking around, and when the light disappeared, I realized that the previous vibration seemed to have disappeared.
My heart immediately sank into my chest, but after five full minutes, nothing seemed to happen.
I was about to let out a sigh of relief when I suddenly felt something was wrong. A vague sound of footsteps seemed to be heard in the corridor. At first I didn't pay attention to it. In fact, even if I noticed the sound, I had to listen carefully to distinguish it. The footsteps were very light, but they made people feel very hurried, like someone was tiptoeing and trying to move forward lightly. I thought it might be because I was too frightened just now, and now I am a little paranoid and have auditory hallucinations, but the footsteps seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
I was about to light the lighter again because the darkness was really disturbing, when I suddenly heard Qin Yiheng shouting, "Run! That thing is behind you. Don't look back, run downstairs!"
