Chapter 486
Zhang Jiaohua nodded in a vague way. Zhang Jiaohua often heard the old Taoist priest mention in his dreams. The old Taoist priest had several disciples, but he only passed on the authentic Taoist inheritance to Chengdao. It must be because the Tao is not passed on lightly. It not only requires talent, but also fate.
"This haunted house has existed for so long. Did you not know before?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"I heard of it, but I haven't been here. There are many haunted houses like this in the capital. If we heard that there are somewhere, we will run over, even if we have four legs, we can't run over. Besides, this is not our job, so why should we let us take care of this matter?" Zhang Yichen said with a smile.
"Then why did you run over this time?" Zhang Yaohua asked in confusion.
"You have a lot of problems. This time, the reason why we came here was naturally because someone invited us here. There was such a strange thing here, and the official must conduct an investigation. As a result, when the investigation encountered difficulties, we naturally had to ask people like us to come and take a look. We also have some cooperation with the official. When they have requirements, we usually take action. Of course, our Taoist temple needs repairs and other things, and they will also provide funds." Zhang Yichen knew that Zhang Yaohua was young and was definitely not clear about these things, so he simply told Zhang Yaohua in detail so that he would not ask constantly.
When I walked into the yard of the haunted house, I immediately felt that the temperature suddenly dropped. Although the yard was also shining by the sun, the sunlight seemed to be pulled away from the temperature. When the sunlight shone on the body, it still couldn't feel the warmth. This is an extremely strange phenomenon.
"Have you encountered this situation?" Zhang Yaohua looked at Zhang Yichen and frowned, then asked.
Zhang Yichen shook his head, "It's hard to encounter this situation every many years. How can we encounter the exact same situation several times? But why is the yin energy here so rich? What's even more strange is that the yin energy here is so rich, but it's always fixed around the haunted house and does not spread around. It's so strange."
"Yes, I didn't see any formation around me." Zhang Yaohua also looked around me, very puzzled.
Several people who came with Zhang Yichen were also looking around. One of them took out a compass and measured it around the haunted house yard. The man was named Meng Guoqian, who was in his forties.
"Look, the magnetic field here is completely messed up." Meng Guoqian said to Zhang Yichen.
"It's indeed a bit strange here." said the old monk with short white hair. Zhang Yaohua now knew his name, and his surname was Zhang, with a single name of Jing.
"Let's go, let's go to the source where the yin energy is escaping." Zhang Yichen waved his hand and led the group into the haunted house.
The haunted house is very grand. Even if it is put into this era, it can still be seen how grand it was back then.
The exterior wall is carved with European-style carvings, with obvious European and American characters on it. The door is very thick and not closed to death, leaving a gap of fingers. Zhang Yaohua clearly felt that Yin Qi was constantly leaking out of the gap.
"Be careful. The things in it are not simple." Zhang Yichen hurriedly reminded.
When Zhang Yaohua arrived here, there were only four people left, and the rest were left by Zhang Yichen.
When Zhang Jiaohua first entered the yard, the spiritual power in her body had already formed a qi around her body, protecting herself well. Although the yin energy was rich, she could not break through Zhang Jiaohua's qi protection. Zhang Yichen and Zhang Jing and Meng Guoqi, who were with him, also had their own ways to resist the invasion of the yin energy. Instead of being invaded by the yin energy in the yard like Zeng Lei.
Zhang Yichen pushed open the door, and the yin energy rushed towards the four people like a tide.
"Sure enough, there is something strange here!" Zhang Yichen said.
The house seems to be stagnant in the past, and the decorations in the house are still intact and still maintain a relatively ancient style. Over the years, the furniture and decorations in the house seem to have not been eroded by the years. This naturally reveals an incomparable weirdness.
"Do you know the origin of this house?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"The official message to me is that the houses built in the Qing Dynasty are indeed said to be about the same period as the construction time of the Old Summer Palace," said Meng Guoqian.
"It's really strange. It seems that the decoration of that era has always been maintained here. That's fine, how did these furniture keep it for so many years? Aren't there several owners here? Is the furniture not damaged at all?" Zhang Jing was also puzzled.
"It's impossible! Not to mention that I have experienced several masters, but also experienced the era of movement. Can these things that obviously belong to the bourgeoisie be preserved? Back then, the capital was the center of the storm." Zhang Yichen shook his head.
Zhang Yaohua looked around and said, "It seems that there has been people doing cleaning up here. There is no dust in the house."
Zhang Yaohua looked at all rooms on this floor and found that the situation on this floor was as good as the living room I saw when I entered the door. All the items were neat and there was no sign of damage at all. The furniture seemed to be new.
"Although these furniture are kept intact, all the items are completely soaked in Yin energy. If these Yin energy dissipates, everything will probably be wiped out." Zhang Yaohua murmured to himself.
"I don't need to look at the top, the situation must be the same as below." Zhang Yichen called out to Zhang Yaohua, who was about to walk up the stairs.
"Didn't it meant that this place had been demolished? Why was this house not destroyed at all?" Meng Guoxian asked.
Zhang Yichen said, "It was not demolished. Before the demolition, the official wanted to clean up the things in the house. Some things have been preserved for so many years and have become cultural relics. Just when cleaning these things, something happened. One of the porters who came in to move things died on the spot, and the other few were seriously ill. Then, another group of porters also had the same situation and another one died. After that, the official sent someone in to investigate, but strangely, all the investigators disappeared. According to reliable figures, from the beginning of the demolition, to now, the exact number of deaths plus the number of missing people is not the rumored few, but more than a dozen people."
"A dozen people?" Zhang Yaohua Shishi was surprised.
"Don't tell me about this. In order to avoid panic, the official has completely blocked the news here. It's not that serious, how could we make us appear?" Zhang Yichen said.
"I feel that the source of the yin energy is not in this house." Zhang Yaohua suddenly said, pointing to the stairs and said, "It seems to come from behind. These yin energy are a bit strange, as if they are under control. If you guess correctly, it is probably not easy to control these yin energy."
Several people looked at the stairs.
Meng Guoqian also discovered that, "Yes, the yin energy comes out from there, the magnetic field over there is so powerful! My compass pointer is about to explode."
"Click!" Before Meng Guoyi finished speaking, the glass of the compass on the compass in his hand exploded.
The four people's expressions immediately became solemn. If the Yin Qi here is controlled by a certain ghost, that ghost would probably be very powerful.
"Everyone prepare first, we will go over and find out later, what is the origin of the person who is making trouble here!" Zhang Yichen said with a serious expression.
But no one wants to retreat. When a practitioner encounters anything, he will not think about retreating. Practicing Taoism is to go against the will of heaven. If you choose to retreat in the face of difficulties, then how can you break through the karma encountered in the process of practicing Taoism? How can you break through your cultivation again and again?
Zhang Yaohua was not prepared enough because he never expected that he would have the opportunity to explore the haunted house today.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Zhang Yichen asked Zhang Yaohua. Zhang Yichen was mainly worried that Zhang Yaohua had never had such an experience. Zhang Yaohua's cultivation is not low, but her age is there.
"No problem." Zhang Yaohua naturally would not be nervous. In his dream, he was no longer a moment of life and death. In reality, he also had a more thrilling experience in Luo Atang's cave. At the same time, he also experienced the process of epiphany. His mind was no longer the mind of a teenager.
Seeing that Zhang Yaohua was so calm, Zhang Yichen was still a little surprised and nodded, "Then I, let's go now."
Yin Qi kept pouring out from behind the stairs, and it was seen that the source of the Yin Qi was naturally hidden behind the stairs. When a few people walked behind the stairs, they found a door.
Meng Guoqian, who was walking in the front, carefully pushed the door, and the door creaked and opened, revealing a black hole in the passage leading to the underground. A wave of cold air rushed towards him, and met the water vapor outside at the entrance of the passage, and immediately formed a cloud of fog. As the cold air spread, a huge confusion formed near the stairs, covering the entire stairs in a daze.
Zhang Yichen and others were prepared for a long time, and took out strong light flashlights from their bodies to illuminate the passage leading to the underground. The passage was one stone step by step, and the stone steps were polished very smoothly. It can be seen that people often went down from here before. There were places where oil lamps were hung on the walls.
A yellow flame flew out of Zhang Yaohua's hand and flew towards the wick of the oil lamp. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the oil in the oil lamp seemed to be full. The wick was ignited by the flame, and a yellow flame began to sway in the dark passage.
