Chapter 48: House Spirit



The greatest hero!

Lu Chunying stuck her head out again and stared at Li Banfeng for a long time. She felt that the young man in front of her was particularly tall and majestic.

"My benefactor, take care of yourself!" Xiao Yeci turned around, hugged Lu Chunying, quickly left the backyard and walked towards the gate.

Dealing with house spirits in a house repairman's house?

This guy is crazy!

Xiao Yeci took his daughter Lu Chunying out of the backyard. When they reached the front yard door, Xiao Yeci looked back and couldn't help sighing.

Lu Chunying said with a hint of sarcasm: "Don't look at me, you are not pretty enough, the great heroes won't look down on you!"

Xiao Yeci frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you have no sense of size!"

Lu Chunying snorted coldly: "What do you mean by no respect for elders? Do you really think you are my mother? When I meet the Lu family, I will tell them all the truth!"

Xiao Yeci gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you! If you dare to say it out loud, we will starve together, sleep on the streets together, and be sold to brothels together. Let's see who will cry then!"

Lu Chunying frowned and said, "If you want to pretend to be my mom, just change the way you say things. My mom never speaks in a dripping, dripping way."

"What bits and pieces do I have? I told you not to talk nonsense!"

As they were talking, the two of them walked out of the house and into a forest.

Lu Chunying gently pulled Xiao Yeci and asked in a low voice: "I remember when I came here, this was a village, how come it has turned into a forest!"

Swish~Swish~Huh~

The wind was blowing coldly, and the branches and leaves in the woods were swaying and rustling.

Xiao Yeci also became nervous, hugged Lu Chunying and said, "Something is wrong, let's go back to the house first!"

As soon as the mother and daughter turned around, the original house was gone.

There are endless woods all around.

"Where are we?" Lu Chunying grabbed Xiao Yeci's arm.

Xiao Yeci looked around and said calmly, "This should be the hands and feet of the house spirit. We may still be in the house and can't get out for the time being."

"What should we do then?" Lu Chunying held on tighter.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him first. No matter where he comes from, as long as I can make him understand clearly, he should let us go!"

Xiao Yeci had a determined look on her face, and with Lu Chunying standing behind her, the fear in her heart had largely faded.

Xiao Yeci began to reason with the spirit of the house: "My friend, I don't know where you come from, but the owner of this house is dead, you should also think about where you should go.

The owner of this house has done too many evil things, and you are her accomplice. If you are caught by the judge and sent to the underworld, you will be punished!

I have seen it in books, I have seen the verdicts of the Punishment Department, I have seen all kinds of torture instruments in the underworld, and I have seen the sufferings of ghosts there.

In the past, you were coerced by her and everything you did was beyond your control. Now that she is dead, why are you still doing such a heinous thing?

My friend, please let us go. This will not only save us from our sins, but also help us gain merits. Why not do it? "

Brush~

The cold wind gradually died down, and the branches and leaves in the woods were no longer so violent.

Xiao Yeci's communication seemed to work.

The journey was indeed full of difficulties. This "mother" who was not a mother had complaints, disputes, and many estrangements with Lu Chunying.

But whenever there was danger, Xiao Yeci always stood in front of Lu Chunying without hesitation. Lu Chunying believed that he was the most reliable person in the world.

"Come, follow mom!" Xiao Yeci followed his intuition and walked straight forward, with Lu Chunying following closely beside him.

After taking two steps, a willow branch hit Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying in the face with lightning speed.

Xiao Yeci covered his face and gritted his teeth to avoid crying.

Lu Chunying was young and couldn't hold back her tears.

Xiao Yeci took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on Lu Chunying's face. He said distressedly, "Don't cry, Nannan. I didn't see the direction correctly just now. We should go to the left. Come on! Follow mom closely!"

Both of them had a bloodstain on their faces. They walked towards the night wind, turning left in the woods.

After walking for more than ten meters, a willow branch came again, hitting the two men in the face again.

Xiao Yeci shed tears and Lu Chunying cried out loud.

Now there is not just one bloodstain on their faces, but two.

The two bloodstains turned into an x.

"Mom may have made a mistake. Let's go to the right. Come on! Follow mom closely!" Xiao Yeci firmly grabbed Lu Chunying's hand.

"Mom, you should go first. I'll just follow you." Lu Chunying shook off Xiao Yeci's hand.

She took back her previous thought.

Xiao Yeci is not reliable at all.

Li Banfeng entered the old lady's room and examined every furnishing in the room.

A bed, a table, two chairs and a closet.

The furnishings were simple. Li Banfeng looked at each item one by one, guessing which one might be the house spirit.

There is an old clock on the table, which has no spirituality at all and it is obvious that it is not a house spirit.

There is a teapot next to the old clock. It looks quite spiritual. Could it be the spirit of the house?

There is a sewing box next to the teapot. The balls of thread are neatly arranged, and the needles on the balls of thread are also neatly inserted. It looks very homely.

There is also a rolling pin next to the sewing box. The flour on the rolling pin is evenly coated, and you can also see traces of spirituality!

Which one is the house spirit?

Li Banfeng felt very conflicted.

I am a home cultivator, so there must be some connection between me and the home spirit.

clang!

The old clock chimed.

Li Banfeng looked at the watch face. It was half past nine.

This traditional old grandfather clock will chime once every half hour and once every hour on the hour.

For example, at nine o'clock, it will clang nine times.

At half past nine, it would just make one clang!

The sound just now interrupted Li Banfeng's thoughts on looking for the house spirit, which made him very unhappy.

He glared at the old clock and continued to glance at the other objects in the room.

Finally, his eyes stopped on a feather duster, which he thought was the most spiritual.

First, the color is brighter, and second, the feathers are smoother.

Li Banfeng picked up the feather duster and was ready to use his talent as a home repairman to have an in-depth communication, when he suddenly heard the old clock ring, ding, ding... ten times in a row, and the sound was so loud that it completely attracted Li Banfeng's attention.

Ten rings?

Li Banfeng looked at the dial and the hour and minute hands pointed to ten o'clock.

It was half past nine just now, and now it’s ten o’clock?

Could it be that...

Is this old clock broken?

Just now Li Banfeng was still thinking that there was a lack of a timekeeping device in Suishenju, and whether he should move this old clock over.

Judging from the situation, we can’t keep this clock.

Li Banfeng communicated with the feather duster for a while and found that the feather duster did not respond.

Next to the feather duster was an iron mooncake box. The paint on the box was badly peeling and it was obvious that it was quite old, but it was spotless and very clean.

The house spirit loves cleanliness, maybe it is in this box.

Li Banfeng opened the lid of the box with force and found that there was only a stack of old newspapers in the box. The old yellowed newspapers seemed like they would tear into pieces at any time.

It's impossible for a house ghost to live in a newspaper, right?

Li Banfeng picked up a newspaper and before he opened it, he really had a feeling this time.

He felt the words in the newspaper touching him.

The words, as small as a fly's head, seemed to have turned into worms, trying to drill into Li Banfeng's fingertips.

Is it really in the newspaper?

Click! Click!

The sound of the pendulum became brighter and brighter, and every sound touched my heart.

Li Banfeng put down the newspaper and looked at the golden pendulum. The pendulum reflected some images under the candlelight.

The image was blurry at first, but gradually became clearer after a while.

Li Banfeng seemed to see an old movie with a dim background on the pendulum.

A beautiful woman in cheongsam is drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

A man appeared behind the woman, took the eyebrow pencil from her hand, and gently drew on the beauty's eyebrows.

After drawing the eyebrows, draw the lips.

Draw over the lips and bite the lips.

After biting your lips, you can bite something else.

The two people faced each other and bit each other for a long time, and the man went behind the woman.

The pendulum swung with a clicking sound, becoming loud and crisp.

The man originally grabbed the woman's shoulders. During the collision, his left hand went around the woman's neck and his right hand locked his left hand.

He pressed his face against the woman's and used his left shoulder to press the back of her head, forcing her head to bend forward.

Naked choke!

This is not singing naked choke.

This is a naked choke!

Li Banfeng was still analyzing the technical difficulty, but the woman in the picture did not move.

She was hanged to death.

The man pulled it out, put on his clothes, and quickly disappeared from the screen.

The woman's body remained in the house. The picture seemed still, but the light and shadow were changing.

As time went by, day and night alternated, the woman's body gradually rotted and became crawling with maggots.

Until one day, her body was found and moved out of the center of the picture.

Many people came and went, and no one knew where these people came from. They took away everything in the picture, including a lot of jewelry and a lot of cash.

The story seemed to end only when the screen was empty.

But what does this story illustrate?

Why did this old clock allow me to see this story?

While thinking, Li Banfeng discovered that the story was not over yet!

A woman appeared in the empty room, the woman who had died before.

The woman is dressing herself up and putting on makeup with a smile on her face.

In the house, the woman who was originally strangled reappeared.

She is dressing herself.

There was no mirror in the room. She was putting on makeup in front of Li Banfeng. Her charming smile made Li Banfeng feel very friendly.

This should be the house spirit, right?

The woman suddenly disappeared.

A man appeared in the picture.

Although he had changed his clothes, Li Banfeng still recognized him. He was the murderer of the woman.

He seemed to be searching for something. He felt around on the floor carefully until he found a secret compartment in it and found a knife.

Li Banfeng recognized this knife. It was the dagger that the old lady treasured very much. It was now inserted in his belt.

The man was very excited, because this was the knife he was looking for.

He gently brushed the blade with his fingers, but he didn't expect the handle to tremble violently and slip out of his hand.

The floating dagger was suspended in front of the man.

The man was horrified. He supported his body with his hands and quickly crawled backwards.

He crawled too slowly.

The dagger rushed towards the man, cut his throat, and blood spurted out.

The man covered his throat and struggled hard. His appearance was very similar to the woman's struggle before death.

The woman's figure slowly emerged in the picture, and she continued to put on her makeup with a gentle smile.

She ignored the man struggling on the ground. Her eyes were fixed on Li Banfeng, with a cold and slightly sweet look in them.

I'm just putting on my makeup. Why are you always staring at me?

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, it wasn’t me who killed you!

Li Banfeng wanted to look away, but suddenly he saw the woman put down the comb, picked up something that looked like a key, and stretched it towards Li Banfeng.

What are you doing? Are you going to do something?

If this woman is the house spirit, do we have to defeat her before we can subdue her?

Li Banfeng was on high alert, but saw the woman open a glass cover and then slowly turn it with the key.

Li Banfeng looked at it carefully for a long time and found that it was not a real key, but the key used to wind up the old grandfather clock.

The woman was not dressing herself up in front of Li Banfeng, she was dressing herself up in front of the clock.

The woman's house was not emptied out, and one thing was left behind, which was this old grandfather clock.

Li Banfeng did not see the movie from the audience's perspective, he saw it all from the perspective of a clock.

The woman drew her eyebrows, put on lipstick, raised her head, slightly parted her red lips, and asked softly:

"Am I beautiful?"

Li Banfeng heard the woman's voice for the first time.

Is she asking about the clock or me?

The woman's eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and responded: "Beautiful."

The woman smiled, she was very satisfied with the answer.

Next she asked another question: "Do you know my name?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and looked down at the iron mooncake box.

He took out an old newspaper from the mooncake box.

On the second page of this newspaper, there was a piece of news, and every word in the news was trembling constantly.

The title of the news was: Famous girl Luo Yuni died tragically in another house.

The woman asked again: "Do you know my name?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I think I know."

"Look at me, keep looking at me, say my name, and I will be yours." The woman smiled even sweeter.
