Chapter 50: The Deadly Bell



Li Banfeng suspected that Luo Yuni was sitting next to him, or even closer, or even sitting on Li Banfeng.

In this situation, Luo Yuni reaching out would be a very dangerous move for Li Banfeng.

What’s more dangerous is that Li Banfeng can’t feel any danger.

If this house spirit has no ill intentions, everything will be easy to deal with.

If this house spirit has malicious intentions and Li Banfeng cannot sense it, it proves that the house spirit's cultivation is higher than his, and by two levels.

Seeing Li Banfeng hiding far away, Luo Yuni was very disappointed: "Why are you still hesitating? Do you really not want me?"

"I said, it's not that I don't want you," Li Banfeng shook his head again, "I just don't want this house."

This is the truth.

Li Banfeng really wanted a house spirit, but in this house, he would never utter Luo Yuni's name.

Although he had not been in Prozhou for long, after listening to the descriptions of Ma Wu, the peddler and Xiao Yeci, and seeing the old lady's experience in cultivating house spirits, Li Banfeng had more or less figured out some rules.

In this set of rules, there are three important roles: house repair, house spirit and house.

The house maintainer can control the house, and the house can control the house spirit. Only by passing on this knowledge can the house maintainer subdue the house spirit.

The key to subduing house spirits is the harmony between the house renovation and the house.

The old lady’s talent was indeed not good, and it took her a long time to get in tune with this house.

There was no compatibility between Li Banfeng and this house, at least he himself did not sense it. Under such circumstances, he did not think he could subdue this powerful house spirit.

If we fail to subdue the enemy, the situation will be very dangerous.

He did not forget Lu Xiaolan who was trapped by the house spirit in the He family's old house.

Luo Yuni's brows relaxed and the charming smile returned to her face.

"You don't want this house, and neither do I. I've been stuck here for decades and I'm tired of it.

You want your special house, and I like that house too, take me there, I'll go with you,

Once I am in your house, I am yours, my skills are yours, and my body is yours."

Take her to your own home?

Is it possible?

Li Banfeng decided to take a gamble!

Suishenju is my territory and it is highly compatible with me. Following the old lady's method, I can light a candle, stare at the clock, sense the compatibility, and say her name, and I can successfully subdue her.

And it’s wherever I go. I can go in and out whenever I want.

If she dares to cheat, I will trap her in my personal residence!

If you lock her up for a while, you will be able to successfully tame her.

Li Banfeng took a deep breath, took off the dagger and put it aside.

This knife cannot be brought into the home for the time being, it is too dangerous.

Li Banfeng himself cannot control this strange weapon, but Luo Yuni can. Once brought into the Suishenju, Luo Yuni suddenly turns hostile, which will pose a fatal threat to Li Banfeng.

In addition, Li Banfeng also took some precautions. He touched the remaining rust pill.

Luo Yuni is a ghost, and Li Banfeng doesn’t know how to deal with it. If something unexpected happens, Li Banfeng can only attack her original body, the old grandfather clock.

Rust cannot damage the wooden case of an old grandfather clock, but it has a very strong killing effect on the pendulum, dial, and internal spring and gears of the clock.

In addition to the rust pill, there was also a sickle and a shovel. Li Banfeng hung them around his waist and adjusted them to the most suitable position for attack.

Luo Yuni's figure disappeared on the pendulum, and her soul returned to the old clock.

Everything was ready. Li Banfeng took out the key, picked up the old grandfather clock with one hand, and entered the residence as quickly as possible.

He put the old clock on the ground for the time being and turned back to look for a candle.

It's strange, the candle is not in its original place, and the matches can't be found either.

Did I forget, or has anyone entered the Sui Shen Ju?

Li Banfeng hurriedly looked for a candle. He needed light. Without light, he couldn't see the clock, let alone stare at it.

Luo Yuni's face appeared again on the pendulum of the old clock.

This time it was not a reflection. Luo Yuni was now in the old grandfather clock. Behind Luo Yuni were clear gears and springs.

The charming smile gradually faded, her eyebrows gradually stood up, and her almond-shaped eyes turned up.

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Luo Yuni licked her lips, the blood color on her face faded, and her skin was covered with a hideous paleness.

Li Banfeng's idea was not wrong, and his method was not wrong. Under normal circumstances, he could indeed subdue the house spirit.

But he underestimated one thing, the gap in strength between the two sides was an insurmountable gap even at Li Banfeng's home court.

According to common sense, the strength of the house spirit of a first-level home repairman would not be too high, it should also be the first level, or at most the second level.

But Li Banfeng was wrong. Luo Yuni's talent was amazing.

Before she became a house spirit, she had already turned into a powerful evil spirit due to her strong resentment.

After becoming a house spirit, after thirty years of practice, her strength reached the sixth level.

The strength of the sixth level is something Li Banfeng cannot imagine.

But a house spirit is still a house spirit after all. Luo Yuni is bound by the house, and this house has a deep connection with the old lady, so Luo Yuni has many powers that she cannot use.

Luo Yuni saw that Li Banfeng didn't know much about house repairs, so she wanted to use Li Banfeng to kill the old lady and then help her get rid of her bondage.

Why didn't she kill the old lady herself?

Isn't there a precedent of house spirits killing their masters?

Li Banfeng had also thought about this question, and based on it, he speculated that Luo Yuni did not tell the truth in many places.

In order to gain Li Banfeng's trust, most of what Luo Yuni said was true, but this matter was of vital importance to Luo Yuni, so she naturally would not reveal the truth.

In fact, the answer to this matter has been found in the descriptions of Ma Wu, the peddler and Xiao Yeci. Li Banfeng also came to a rough conclusion through analysis.

There is a prerequisite for a house spirit to kill its owner, which is that there is a problem with the compatibility between the house decoration and the house.

If the house repairman does not take care of the house, the house will indulge the house spirit in rebellion, and give the house spirit the opportunity to kill the owner, just like the extremely sloppy house repairman mentioned by Ma Wu.

If a house repairman abandons his house, the house will release some of its restraints, causing the house spirit to become an evil spirit, which will harm people in the house at will.

The old woman and Luo Yuni didn’t get along well, but the old woman had deep feelings for the house and was very compatible with it.

Luo Yuni is bound by the house. There is a contract between the house cultivator and the house spirit. She can suppress the old lady's cultivation, but cannot kill her.

Moreover, even if the old woman died, as long as the house was still there, the house spirit would still not be able to break free from the bondage, because the contract between the house repairman and the house spirit had not expired, unless another house repairman took over.

The house is the shackles of the house spirit. If the house spirit wants to break free from the shackles, there are only three ways to go.

First, you must be strong enough.

A house spirit that is strong enough can forcibly break free from the constraints of the house. Ma Wu has heard of similar precedents.

Luo Yuni’s cultivation has reached the sixth level. Can she break free from the constraints of the house?

No, it’s not enough.

The second is that someone took the house spirit away from the house.

A house spirit that leaves the house will become an evil spirit, and few people dare to do so.

The third is to break the contract.

This is very simple. Another house cultivator stares at the house spirit and calls out the house spirit's name. If the original house cultivator has no objection, the contract between the house cultivator and the house spirit can be broken. As long as the house spirit agrees, this is how the house spirit can be transferred.

Luo Yuni chose the third method, breaking the contract.

In the old lady's house, if Li Banfeng stared at the clock and called out Luo Yuni's name, the old lady would definitely not object, because the old lady was already dead.

The contract between Luo Yuni and the old lady will be broken, and Luo Yuni will be freed from her restraints.

But since Li Banfeng does not fit in with the house, Luo Yuni will not become his house spirit, and she will kill Li Banfeng immediately.

Luo Yuni has been sitting behind Li Banfeng. Although her strength is limited, as long as she can pinch Li Banfeng's vital points, she can force Li Banfeng to call out her name.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Li Banfeng ran away.

Since the hard way didn't work, she tried the soft way. She repeatedly seduced Li Banfeng to call out her name, thinking she could succeed easily. However, she didn't expect Li Banfeng to be extremely wary and refused to call out her name.

If one road doesn't work, take another one.

Luo Yuni asked Li Banfeng to take her into his residence.

This time, she succeeded.

After leaving her original house, she was free.

But Suishenju is now very compatible with Li Banfeng. What will happen if Li Banfeng stares at the clock in Suishenju and reads out Luo Yuni's name?

As long as he gazes at the house spirit, senses the connection between himself and the house, and recites the name of the house spirit, the house spirit will belong to Li Banfeng.

The idea is correct, but in reality it is impossible for Li Banfeng to succeed.

Because Luo Yuni would not give Li Banfeng another chance to pronounce her name, she wanted to kill Li Banfeng immediately and occupy Suishenju alone.

The sixth-level house spirit can attack without restriction, so there is no possibility for Li Banfeng to survive.

The pendulum swung rapidly.

The minute hand on the dial drives the hour hand to rotate and quickly reaches the twelve o'clock position.

As long as the bell rings twelve times in a row, she can cut Li Banfeng into thirteen pieces!

Cluck, cluck, cluck~

The gears of the clock rub against each other.

The minute hand is about to overlap with the hour hand, the bell is about to ring, Li Banfeng is still looking for a candle, and Luo Yuni's smile becomes more sinister.

Chichichi~

A beam of fire lit up, and the sound of steam gushing out was heard first.

Li Banfeng was startled and the record player started.

How can a record player start itself?

Luo Yuni ignored the record player.

Bang!

A bell rings!

The invisible sharp blade rushed towards Li Banfeng's back.

Li Banfeng felt a chill and tried to dodge instinctively, but it was in vain. He couldn't dodge at all. This was not a speed he could understand.

laugh!

A stream of white steam spurted out from the record player, easily dispersing the invisible blade!

Luo Yuni looked at the record player with bloodshot eyes.

What is this?

Is this thing spiritual?

How dare a spiritual being stop me?

Who gave it the courage?

Bang!

The second bell rings!

The angry Luo Yuni launched a second attack. She not only aimed at Li Banfeng, but also at the record player. She wanted to cut the record player into pieces.

Phew~

The steam came quickly and surrounded the old clock. The invisible blade failed to be launched and directly dissipated in the body of the old clock.

Cluck, cluck, cluck~

Luo Yuni was a little surprised, but still unwilling to give up, so she attacked again.

The gears twisted hard, trying to make a third sound.

The third chime never came; the old clock's spring was caught by an invisible force in the steam.

Luo Yuni roared continuously, and she was still trying her best.

Cluck, cluck, cluck

The clockwork soon reached its limit.

Sniff

The record player chuckled, a mocking chuckle.

Boom!

The clock's spring broke in the steam.

“Ah~~”

Luo Yuni was horrified and immediately let out a shrill scream, as if it was her bones that were broken.

huff!

Another puff of steam arrived.

The glass cover of the old clock was broken and the pendulum broke!

The dial was torn off, and the minute and hour hands bent and melted under the high temperature.

The copper inner frame collapsed, and gears of all sizes scattered everywhere.

Snap! Snap!

The wooden case of the clock turned into broken wood in a few seconds.

Everything happened so fast that Li Banfeng didn't react at all.

Luo Yuni's screams lingered for a long time, as if she was enduring unimaginable pain.

In the clock, a red smoke was drawn into the speaker of the record player along with the steam.

Looking at the wreckage of the old clock in the light of the record player, Li Banfeng's face was covered in sweat, and he was horrified and speechless.

Chichichi~

The needle of the record player automatically placed itself on the record.

First there was the cheerful sound of gongs and drums.

Next came the cheerful sound of the flute.

Then the record player began to sing a sweet song:

"I'll take you outside the village.

I have something to say.

Although the flowers are already in bloom,

Longgrigrigrilong~Longgrigrilong~

Wild flowers on the roadside~~~

Don’t pick it!”

ps: Come on, let’s have fun with the record player!
