Chapter 173 Good Stuff

"Indeed." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "Your house must have something with a strong yin energy. Add to that the haunted house, it's a double blessing. If nothing bad happens to you living in a house like this, it would be strange!"

"What? Impossible!" Qian Pengze tried to recall. "The things in our house were all from my shop before. They were all purchased through formal channels and have been appraised by professional appraisers. There can't be any problems."

"Miss Zhong, could you help us find it and see what it is?" Li Mandong pulled Qian Pengze's hand, then looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "We are not experts, so we can't tell what it is."

"The thing should be over there." Zhong Nianyao pointed her finger towards a place, "The yin energy in there is the heaviest."

"That's the storage room." Qian Pengze spoke subconsciously.

Then he and Li Mandong looked at each other, because they both realized that after the antique shop closed, the remaining items in the shop were placed there.

Could it be that there really was something wrong with that item in the store?

The same idea came to their minds at the same time.

"Let's go and take a look!" Zhong Nian Yao walked straight forward.

Qian Pengze and Li Mandong hurried to catch up. Originally, they lived quite comfortably in this house, but after hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, they suddenly felt uneasy.

Soon, the three of them came to the utility room together.

Although it is a utility room, it is not messy at all because it is filled with antiques. Instead, it is very well organized. It does not look like a utility room, but more like an exhibition hall.

Moreover, it can be seen that they made a lot of preparations in order to put these antiques in. The furnishings and lighting inside should be the best.

Zhong Nianyao looked around and finally her eyes fell on a dagger on the display stand.

She walked over and picked up the dagger. She felt a chill and asked casually, "Where did you get this dagger?"

As soon as they saw the dagger Zhong Nianyao picked up, Qian Pengze and Li Mandong's faces changed instantly.

Seeing the changes in their expressions, Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow and then said jokingly, "Could this dagger also be from the person who introduced you to buy a house?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Pengze and Li Mandong's faces changed drastically.

Silence is better than words at this time.

Oh no!

Even if these two people did not answer, Zhong Nian Yao knew the answer from their expressions.

"Why would he want to hurt me?" Qian Pengze clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke. "For so many years, when I was rich and powerful, I never forgot to support him. But now, he has brought our family to this point."

If that person were right in front of him, he would really want to punch him. A modern version of the story of the farmer and the snake was happening to him, how could he not hate him!

Li Mandong, standing by, naturally felt resentment, but now she was more worried about her husband. She knew very well that her husband had always valued that brother. Now that he knew that he was the one who had caused their family to become like this, how could her husband feel good?

"The world is bustling with people, all for profit, and the world is bustling with people, all for profit." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "Many times, interests understand people's hearts very well."

"No wonder, after I got into trouble, he kept saying he wanted to buy all my antiques!" Qian Pengze's face was gloomy. "He's definitely determined to take everything from our family!"

At first, he had always disagreed because he was afraid of hurting his brother. If it weren't for the 10 million yuan given by Zhong Nianyao, he might have really transferred all these treasures to that brother at a low price.

"Actually, this dagger is a good thing." Zhong Nianyao held the dagger and played with it casually. "This dagger is indeed an antique, but it should be something from underground."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Pengze's face changed drastically.

He was originally in the antique business, so he naturally understood what Zhong Nianyao meant. The goods under the ground were those dug out from the tomb.

His ancestors were Feng Shui masters. Although he doesn’t have such skills now, he still knows some simple principles.

This doesn’t mean that burial objects cannot be collected.

However, all burial objects have been buried with the deceased for countless years, contaminated by corpse qi and Yin energy. Such items should not be kept around for long periods of time. If they are to be kept around, a master must first be consulted to exorcise the Yin energy. Otherwise, excessive Yin energy will shorten a person's lifespan and weaken their body.

Zhong Nianyao continued, "Originally, neither this haunted house nor this dagger would have brought you such bad luck. However, they collided together, and the combined effect is that the sum of the two is greater than the sum of the two."

"At this rate, your family will probably have to hold a funeral within half a year."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Li Mandong. Everyone present could clearly see whose funeral it was.

"This beast." Qian Pengze couldn't help but curse under his breath, "He not only took our family's money, he also wanted our lives!"

"Ms. Zhong, what should we do now?" Li Mandong asked anxiously. "Since you've already seen the problem, you can definitely help us."

"You can't suppress this dagger," Zhong Nianyao pulled out the dagger directly, looking at the cold light on it. "This dagger has a strong Yin energy, not only because it comes from underground, but more importantly, it has seen a lot of blood. It is indeed a good thing! It's a pity that there are not many people who can suppress it."

It was obvious that neither Qian Pengze nor Li Mandong was capable of suppressing the evil energy of the dagger.

"Miss Zhong, what should we do with this dagger?" Qian Pengze asked, "Should we just throw it away?"

"This dagger has been here for so long, its negative energy has already affected you," Zhong Nianyao shook her head and continued, "So, even if you throw it away now, it won't change the current situation. Besides, as I said just now, this dagger is a valuable item."
