First Chapter 29: Yuan Zhen is not human!
I had already arrived home, but I didn't expect to leave again immediately. I went home, changed my clothes, and without taking a rest, I rushed to the airport to meet Qin Yiheng.
We didn't talk much along the way, and the air route didn't take much time. After getting off the plane, we went to the hotel and checked in. As it was still early, Qin Yiheng urged me to eat something quickly, and we went to the house before daybreak.
The neighborhood where this house is located is quite high-end. As for the local housing prices, I didn't do my homework in advance because I came here in a hurry, but judging from the surrounding environment and the appearance of the building, the price should be high. The property management of the community is also very standardized. You need a door card to enter and exit. Outside visitors need to contact the owner inside to get a certificate before they can enter. Qin Yiheng and I were blocked outside because of this.
In the end , I had no choice but to give the security guard two hundred yuan and register in detail, and they finally let us in.
I found the house according to the address in the text message. It was on the first floor. This type of building has a small terrace on the first floor, where the owner can grow flowers and grass. Because there are very thick anti-theft doors and windows in front and back, the terrace is not separated by a high wall, so it didn't take much effort for Qin Yiheng and I to climb in.
As soon as I climbed inside, I saw a dead fortune tree on the terrace. The pot was large, but the soil was very soft, probably because it had rained recently. Qin Yiheng and I emptied the soil out of the pot, and we actually found a key at the bottom of the pot. Qin Yiheng took me back to the main door and opened the door with the key.
Qin Yiheng entered the room first, and then asked me to follow him in. The whole room really looked like a haunted house. The house was empty, with only some tattered plastic bags and newspapers left on the floor. There was dust everywhere. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. Standing inside would make people nervous.
Because we had no prior knowledge of this house, we always felt uneasy. Qin Yiheng did not walk around, but moved forward slowly step by step. I followed behind him and also slowed down my steps.
According to the layout, the entrance should be the living room. I saw doors all around, needless to say, they were bedrooms, kitchens, etc., but every door was closed. We two went in through the doors. The first one that opened should be a bedroom. The room was not big, and there was plenty of sunlight outside the window, but it was still empty. Qin Yiheng frowned and took me to push open the second door.
As soon as I entered the room, Qin Yiheng suddenly stopped. I was walking behind him and almost bumped into him. When I turned my head and saw what was in the room, I was also stunned.
There is a large wardrobe in the corner of the room. The wardrobe is very large and looks very heavy. The strange thing is that someone has painted the wardrobe red, which looks bloody and very creepy. In addition, there are circles of wide tape wrapped around the red paint. At first glance, it does not look like a wardrobe, but more like an upright coffin.
Qin Yiheng told me not to go forward, and walked over to check the closet. He turned around and told me to go to other rooms. There was nothing in other rooms. This should be the reason why the man called us here. I took the order and looked around. Sure enough, all other rooms were empty. The only thing that was not empty was the bathtub and toilet in the bathroom. When I walked back to this room, Qin Yiheng was already removing the tape in circles. Although it was time-consuming and laborious, he didn't mean to let me go forward to help.
I was smoking and waiting nearby. When the tape was almost removed, Qin Yiheng suddenly stepped back and told me that there was something in the closet, but he didn't know what it was, because the closet was obviously used to seal that thing, so there might be something inside to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. The only way was to open the closet, but it was too dangerous to do so, so it couldn't be tried easily. Another way was to stay in this bedroom tonight and see what would happen at night.
In fact, he just informed me, and it was up to him to decide what to do. I saw that this meant I had to sleep here tonight, so I thought about going to prepare some things. Qin Yiheng also agreed, and we agreed to go our separate ways. He went to prepare the things he would use at night, and bought two sleeping bags and some food; I was responsible for asking around the community about what happened to this house before.
I walked around the community, the greenery was pretty good, just like walking in a park, and I spent some time there. When the sun was about to set, some old men and women came out to play with the fitness equipment in the community. I was waiting for this opportunity, so I immediately chatted with them shamelessly. When people get old, they still like to chat, so it didn't take me much effort to get some information, but it made me feel cold all over.
According to the old people who know the story, the couple who lived in this house before were both very young, probably a young couple. The man might be a rich second-generation. Anyway, he was never seen leaving home early and returning late, but he never lacked money to spend. The couple had a prosperous life, but after the hostess bought a very expensive fox fur coat, strange things happened in the house.
At first, the hostess would inexplicably hear some crying sounds at night, but she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the poor sound insulation of the building. But as time went on, she could hear some vague voices, but she couldn't make out what they were. The couple began to get scared and looked for the cause in the house. In the end, they unanimously determined that the problem was with the fox fur coat. They asked some knowledgeable people, and they all said that the fox was not a captive one, but a wild one, and had already cultivated to some extent. It was caught by hunters to make a coat, and it must have felt unwilling.
The couple thought about it and decided to spend the money to avoid disaster. Although the coat was expensive, it was not a valuable item in their eyes. So they decided to give the fox fur coat away.
Because the hostess did not work before, she was bored at home and often went out to chat with neighbors, so the neighbors knew about the coat. But a few days after the hostess said she was going to give the coat away, the couple suddenly disappeared. A few days later, a moving company came and took away the furniture in the house, and the house has been empty until now.
The matter was indeed very strange. I waited for Qin Yiheng to come back and told him everything I had found out.
After hearing this, Qin Yiheng said, "If this is true, it is not difficult to deal with. This is because the so-called fox spirits, which we often respectfully call Master Hu San and Grandma Hu San, can only have a huge impact on humans when they are tangible, that is, when they are alive. Usually these spiritual animals can become soul-stirring through practice, like the foxes, weasels, snakes, spiders, centipedes, and even rabbits that we always hear about. They can all use humans as mediums, which is commonly known as possession, also known as hysteria. However, this kind of possession is not common after death. If we look into it in a scientific way, it is actually the brain waves that can have a certain connection with humans. From the perspective of metaphysics, although reincarnate with humans, they belong to very different yin and yang and five elements. Therefore, this difference As a result, these dead spirits can't stir up much trouble. But that's only in the usual sense. According to legend, some spirits that have reached a certain level of cultivation will attach themselves to people and order them to cure diseases or tell fortunes in order to increase their own cultivation. And the process in between must have a standardized model, that is, they must open a "hall". This process of opening a "hall" is called "going out as a horse". These people who are attached to spirits and "going out as a horse" are actually a kind of hysteria. Before "going out as a horse", they have some large and small diseases that cannot be cured by normal medical means, but after "going out as a horse", they can recover naturally. This is why when we hear that those great immortals, shamans and the like always report different families when they perform spells, it is because the things attached to them are not animals. "
