[Is this true? Some people even buy houses specifically to store ashes. That's so creepy.]
[This actually happens. Cemetery plots are expensive these days, so some people actually go out of their way to buy a house in a cheaper development and enshrine their ashes there!]
[We have had similar incidents in our neighborhood, and the dispute is still going on!]
"That idiot next door, why did he put these things next to me? No wonder I've been acting so weird lately. I'll be the one to settle the score with him!"
Wang Tao was extremely angry. When he thought about so many urns sleeping just across the wall, he felt cold all over. He immediately called the property management and also called the police.
Soon the property management contacted the next-door neighbor, and a lot of people gathered downstairs. The neighbor became the target of public criticism, was scolded, and began to fight back. Even though the police arrived at the scene, he was the owner of the house after all, and essentially did not violate the law, but it aroused the anger of the residents of the community.
"Stop arguing. Those grandpas and grandmas don't like the environment here either. They hope you can move them to another place."
Wen Xi spoke indifferently, and everyone looked at the live broadcast room in Wang Tao's hands in surprise.
Wang Tao raised it awkwardly and said, "This is a very powerful psychic anchor. She's a mysterious spiritualist. She was the one who helped me figure out that my recent bad luck came from these old guys next door."
"What old man? Can you speak with a little respect? Those are the elders!"
The neighbor yelled at him in dissatisfaction.
Wang Tao sneered, "You quietly placed ashes next door, more than ten of them at once. Do you respect me and the residents of this building? The house values will drop because of you. What's more, my recent bad luck is also due to your strong negative energy. I haven't asked you to compensate me for my losses yet!"
"That's right! No wonder it feels so cold at home!"
"Can you afford to pay for the drop in housing prices? What kind of person are you? How can you be so self-righteous? Who owes you anything?"
"More than a dozen urns? People can't even live that many people in one house. You're really budgeting."
The neighbors in the building all stood on Wang Tao's side and mocked him.
"Wait, I think I've seen this Xuanling Master before. Has she participated in that live variety show before? She's really amazing. What did she say just now?"
A younger person pointed at Wen Xi, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered her.
"You said my grandparents don't like this place? Are you communicating with them spiritually? Who knows if you took their money and deliberately cheated here?"
The neighbor complained, "I bought the house, and what I do with it is my personal choice. No one can interfere. Even if you sue me, you may not win!"
Wang Tao was furious. "Okay, you are really vicious and selfish!"
"Aren't your grandparents right behind you? They're really enjoying the fun."
Wen Xi supported his chin with one hand and casually pointed to the place behind them on the screen.
The group of people suddenly felt a chill, swallowed their saliva, and looked behind their neighbors, their faces turning pale.
"You, you, you, stop talking nonsense."
The neighbor was so nervous that he stuttered. Even though they were all relatives, it was obvious that everyone was afraid of ghosts.
"Seven grandpas and six grandmas, six of them are married couples, and one of them divorced early in life. One of the grandpas even has five gold teeth? Oh no, he said they were seven gold teeth!"
Wen Xi's eyes were wandering, as if he was really communicating with the dead.
The neighbor's back was soaked with sweat and his legs were shaking. When he heard her describe it so vividly, especially when she mentioned the "seven gold teeth", he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Grandpas and grandmas, if you are still alive, I have tried my best to provide you with such an environment. Please don't come looking for me!"
Wang Tao and the others all looked at him strangely, and stepped back, staying away from him and...the group of old men and women.
Wang Tao asked in shock, "Is what the anchor said true?"
The neighbor scowled, "I think it's true. Otherwise, how would she know that my third grandfather had seven gold teeth and that my seventh grandfather was divorced years ago? This is too much nonsense... Oh no, this is too much. I'm really shocked!"
"Honestly, we had been keeping the ashes in the ancestral hall. Later, when the hall was torn down, we each took our ashes home. But the family said it would be better for them to live together. They would have company in the future, and we could even play mahjong together. But then we knew that cemeteries were getting more and more expensive. I also happened to have a house I bought but didn't plan to live in, so everyone suggested putting the ashes here. I disagreed at first, but... they really offered too much."
"Tsk, what a philistine! So you're the one making the money, lowering the house prices for us neighbors."
The owners in the community were very resentful of him.
The neighbor smiled awkwardly, "Hey, didn't the anchor say that grandpa and grandma don't like this place? What's going on here?"
Wen Xi said calmly, "Most people living in this community are young people. It's boring for them to take a walk here, and playing cards with so many people coming and going is boring for them! Didn't they also appear in your dreams, wanting to go to the cemetery where all the old friends go?"
"Dream?"
The neighbor's face turned pale. "I did have a similar dream before. I dreamed of several grandpas and grandmas, but I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. After waking up, I was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. Later, I didn't take it to heart."
Wang Tao huffed, "They're all just teasing me out of boredom!"
The neighbor frowned and thought, "But where is the cemetery where all the other old friends go?"
Wen Xi said, "Why don't you go find your tribe members and find out."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The neighbor quickly called relatives and after four or five phone calls, he finally found out that after the original ancestral hall was demolished, there were continuous complaints, so they simply built another pagoda within the original ancestral hall to store urns, and all the urns of the clan were taken back.
After hanging up the phone, the neighbor murmured to himself, "No wonder the grandpas and grandmas came to me in my dreams. They must be missing their old friends."
"Sorry everyone, I'll have them move out tomorrow!"
The neighbor's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he bowed to them, apologized and smiled.
"Just kidding, move out today, otherwise how will I sleep?"
Wang Tao refused to give in.
"I'll book a room for you. It's late at night, who would be willing to take this order?"
The neighbor smiled awkwardly.
Wang Tao reluctantly agreed. After all, he knew there was such a thing next door, and he was not mentally prepared to move back in.
After the matter was over, the neighbors and Wang Tao thanked Wen Xi one after another.
