Volume 1 Chapter 047 Sanyang Lingding
Logically speaking, this house has been vacant for many years, so it should be full of spider webs. But when I looked at the house carefully, not to mention spider webs, even ordinary insects and ants were not seen. My uncle taught me since I was a child that a place like this where even snakes, insects, rats and ants are extinct is definitely a dangerous place, so avoid it if you can!
At times like this, I miss my uncle so much. If Feng Laosan were still alive, my father and I would have run away long ago. Why would we stretch our necks to get in when we know it's a dangerous place?
Seeing that it was getting dark, I hurried out of the building, quickened my pace and walked for a while. Looking back, I saw the two-story building hidden in the twilight, looking particularly eerie.
The next day, I went to the market and bought some cleaning supplies. Since Qingzi couldn't be relied on, I had to go to the house alone and worked from morning to afternoon. I finally cleaned the house inside and out. As it was getting dark, I quickly picked up the broom and bucket and left.
Afterwards, Qingzi came in person, looked around, and seemed quite satisfied. She picked one of the largest rooms as her bedroom. I naturally prepared to take the other bedroom for myself. But the damn woman disagreed, saying that she wanted to use this room as a study, and gave me the room that was originally used as a storage room.
This storage room is small and narrow, and has no windows. It is pitch black and cold even in the daytime. I don't want to talk nonsense with her. After wandering for so many days, I am lucky to have my own small room. This house has been vacant for so many years. Except for a little dust, the doors and windows are all good. Except for a few broken glass, it is basically intact.
After checking out of the hotel and moving my luggage over, I started buying some furniture. I had 90,000 yuan in my hand, which was not a lot. I still had to make a living and had to spend it frugally. So I decided to buy two beds, a few tables and chairs, two wardrobes, and some kitchen and bathroom appliances, and that was about it.
Qingzi left everything else to me to buy, but when it came to buying a bed, she went to buy it herself. She picked out a large bed that looked very comfortable, and put it in the room. It was big enough for her to roll around on. But although the bed was good, the price was also very good, and I gritted my teeth in pain.
When it was my turn to choose, I just picked the cheapest wooden bed, saving as much as possible. When I was about to pay, Qingzi came over leisurely and said, "You don't have to buy your bed, I've prepared it for you."
I was confused. This woman always came and went empty-handed, and she didn't even want to carry a bag. How could she get a bed? But since she had spoken, I dared not disobey her. I paid for her luxurious bed, told her the delivery address, and followed her out the door. However, the clerk in the store heard the words "No. 87 Yongchang" and asked several times in disbelief. When he heard my affirmative answer, his face turned pale and he responded with a strange look in his eyes.
Soon after I returned, the things I bought were delivered one after another. But those people looked furtive and pale. They delivered the things to the gate, dropped them off and ran away without daring to stay for a moment. I managed to get a few people to help me move the big things like the bed. They hurried into the house with pale faces and hurried out. I was quick to grab someone and asked him to help me move the big bluestone that was pressing on the well.
When I looked into the well, I felt a piercing chill rising up, and I couldn't help shivering. When I looked back, the people who were carrying the goods had disappeared.
I lay on the edge of the well and looked inside. With the help of the sunlight, I could see about ten meters below. It was indeed a structure that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Inside was a trumpet jar, which seemed to be another bone-chilling well.
I couldn't help but be very curious. The family that could build this Chilling Bone Well must not be an ordinary family. In the past two months, we have been wandering all the way. When I had free time, I also read the box of books left by Dead Face. There was an article in it that talked about Chilling Bone Well.
Although the structure of this thing is not very complicated, there are many details, and laymen certainly cannot understand it. I just don't know whether this well came from the original owner of the house, or was dug by Bai Wenli later.
Since it is a cold bone well, it is used to be sealed. I wonder if there is something sealed at the bottom of the well. I looked at the well mouth for a long time. A few times I really wanted to tie a rope and go down the well to feel it, but then I changed my mind and remembered that the sorcerer surnamed Wen and the third uncle who seemed to be a child had been here before. They must have seen this cold bone well. Since the well is still pressed by bluestone, there may be something evil inside.
I gave up after thinking about it. It was a hot summer day, but sitting by the well was like having a big block of ice next to me, very cool. I sat by the well for a while, wondering if this haunted house was as evil as old man Qian said.
After thinking hard for a long time, I went out to the paper-making shop on the street and bought some yellow paper, some paper money and paper figures, as well as incense, candles and gold ingots. Then I went to a few restaurants and asked the waiters there for some leftover chicken bones. The lady thought I was so hungry that I had no food to eat and wanted to eat leftovers, so she went to the kitchen and brought out a large plate of braised chicken nuggets to stuff into my mouth.
I was very grateful. There are indeed many good people in the world. I took the bowl and ate a big meal, then cleaned up the chicken bones and put them in a bag. When I came back, I ran into Qingzi. The woman asked, "How was the cleaning? What are you having for dinner?"
I had just eaten a large plate of chicken and was so full that I couldn't help but burp. Qingzi glanced at me and asked suspiciously, "Have you eaten yet?"
I dared not say that I ate alone, and shook my head repeatedly, saying that I was too full from drinking too much water. Qingzi said "hmm", turned around and went into the house, saying: "Come up quickly and make my bed, and you can prepare dinner." After that, he left without looking back.
I breathed a sigh of relief, took out the collected chicken bones, picked out the suitable ones, washed them with water, and then used a knife to carefully carve them into the shape of nails.
In our industry, besides boys, chickens are creatures with very strong yang energy. For example, chicken blood and chicken bones will not dissipate yang energy even within a year after the chicken dies. There is an old saying among the people called "kill a chicken to scare the monkeys", which actually originated from our industry. The so-called "kill a chicken to scare the monkeys" does not mean to make the monkeys scared by seeing the chicken being killed, but to kill the chicken so that the monkeys, who are very sensitive to yang energy, can sense that the strong yang energy of the chicken suddenly disappears, causing a huge shock to them.
I walked around the house several times, calculated the position, inserted the chicken bone nails one by one, and then covered them with soil. The formation I set up is called the Three Yang Lingding Formation in our industry, and its main effect is to lock the Yin Qi. This is somewhat similar to the way the dead face used nine white bone nails to seal the nine Yin orifices on Liu Nan's body, but the effect of chicken bones is definitely not as good as human bones, and white bone nails cannot be simply cut out of human bones. They must be carved with spells and refined through complicated processes before they can be truly formed.
So the Lingding formation I arranged is certainly not comparable to the Nine Yin Sealing Orifices of the Dead Face, but at present, I can only do this with my ability. The Nine Yin Sealing Orifices of the Dead Face seals the corpse, while this Lingding formation seals the Yin Qi of the earth veins. In terms of function, it can be said to be a simplified version of the Seven Star Soul Sealing Formation, forming a primary Absolute Yin Land in this building.
After the arrangement was completed, I found a direction with good wind, lit a white candle, put the paper money and figures I bought in a pile and burned them, then lit three incense sticks, bowed towards the house, and then stuck them in the ground.
I stepped back a few steps and stared at the three incense sticks. This is a rule passed down in our industry. Before doing anything, we burn incense to check. If something unexpected happens, such as all three incense sticks breaking, it means it is a bad omen and nothing can be done.
Seeing the smoke rising, and still nothing unusual after ten breaths, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to walk in, I suddenly saw the flames at the tops of the three incense sticks light up. In the blink of an eye, the three incense sticks burned down to the bottom and turned to ashes in an instant.
