Chapter 144 Tianming Pavilion Incident Book - Strange Things at Night
"Does this guest want to ask for divination?"
When Qingjue came in front of the middle-aged scholar, he had already put away his playful smile and acted like a master.
The scholar looked at the handsome man in front of him and nodded hesitantly:
"I heard that you guys can solve strange things here, so I came to give it a try."
He felt uneasy but also a little hopeful.
I am very familiar with this street. The facade of Tianming Pavilion is quite large, but I have never noticed it.
Until recently, he had encountered strange things frequently and was desperate to try all kinds of methods. He followed the rumors among the neighbors and came to look for the Tianming Pavilion where "only those with a destiny can enter". Surprisingly, he actually found it.
"May I ask... are you Pavilion Master Qingyun Zhenren?"
The man in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, like a banished immortal. The scholar subconsciously felt that he must be a hermit.
"What kind of look is that?" Qing Jue sneered indifferently, "I am not even as good as one finger of our Pavilion Master. You must be more respectful when you meet people later. Follow me."
The scholar was more and more amazed. Even such a god-like person was willing to work for the Pavilion Master. What kind of person must that Pavilion Master be?
He was a little nervous but also a little excited and agitated, and followed Qingjue to the special room for asking questions.
But he discovered that the pavilion master was actually a beautiful girl.
The scholar stared at her in a daze.
"Are you the one who wants to ask for divination?" Yun Qingqing tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers.
The scholar came back to his senses, his face flushed and he bowed his head:
"Well, my name is Jiang Ke. I didn't expect the real person to be so... uh, I'm young and promising, so please forgive me for being abrupt."
After saying this, I felt something was wrong. Since he was an expert, his appearance might be very different from his actual age.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He became more embarrassed and hesitated whether to call him "senior".
Yun Qingqing didn't care about his imagination and went straight to the point:
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Jiang Ke then remembered his intention and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"I seem to have contracted a strange disease recently, but the doctors I visited several times all said that there was nothing wrong with my body, I was just feeling uneasy. They prescribed me a lot of tranquilizers, but they didn't work at all."
"So I'm wondering if I've attracted some evil spirit. Please help me take a look, Pavilion Master."
A clear light flashed in Yun Qingqing's dark eyes, and she said in a calm voice:
"Why do you think it's your fault?"
Jiang Ke sighed:
"To be honest, I didn't think so at first. I suspected that there was a thief in the house..."
He recounted his recent experiences in detail.
At the beginning, he woke up one day and found that the items in the room had changed. He thought he had been robbed and immediately counted his belongings, but found nothing was missing.
Jiang Ke was puzzled but didn't think too much about it. He found a box and locked up the money and valuables. Nothing happened in the next few days, so he just let it go.
But when I woke up one day, I found that the room had been moved again.
And this time was much more obvious than last time, as if a robber had broken in and rummaged through everything.
Jiang Ke just felt a chill on his back. Someone broke in in the middle of the night and did so many things, but he didn't notice anything.
When he checked, he found that nothing was missing and the valuables in the box were intact.
He began to hesitate whether to report to the police. Although nothing was stolen, the fact that someone broke into his room at night and rummaged through things without anyone noticing was scary enough.
In the end, he did not report to the police because he was persuaded by his younger brother and sister-in-law.
His younger brother Jiang Zhuo advised him not to report to the police, saying that the security on that street had always been good. He also said that nothing was lost, and if the officials thought he was making fun of him, he might even be beaten.
My sister-in-law also said that she has always been a light sleeper, and if someone really sneaked into the yard at night, she would definitely be woken up.
After being persuaded by the two, Jiang Ke gave up the idea of reporting to the police.
But he always felt that when his sister-in-law said that she slept lightly, her expression seemed to have a deep meaning, as if she was hesitant to speak.
But the story didn't end there.
Two days later, when Jiang Ke opened his eyes in the morning, he was frightened by a dirty face in front of him.
He exclaimed and sat up, only to find a tattered rag doll next to his pillow.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately looked around. Sure enough, the chairs, teapot and other things in the room showed signs of having been moved.
Jiang Ke felt horrified and wanted to report to the police immediately.
But my younger brother and his wife tried to persuade me, but I just refused to agree.
This time Jiang Ke finally felt that something was wrong with the two of them. He asked them a few questions with a stern face, and the two of them finally told him something hesitantly.
My younger brother told his wife that there was no one who broke in at night, it was all him!
He would get up from time to time at night, toss around in the house, then go back to bed, and when he woke up the next day he had no idea what he had done during the night.
Jiang Keru was struck by lightning.
The thief I thought was a thief turned out to be me sleepwalking?
The two younger brothers said they were afraid of upsetting him, so they didn't tell him the truth at first.
Jiang Ke was half-believing and half-doubting, so he went to see a doctor. After taking his pulse and asking some questions, the doctor learned that no one in his family had ever suffered from sleepwalking. The doctor said that he just had not rested well recently and prescribed a tranquilizer.
However, early the next morning, another embroidered shoe appeared beside his pillow.
Jiang Ke was staring at the shoes in a daze when he heard his sister-in-law complaining outside that one of her shoes had been taken away by a mouse.
He was so scared that he hid the shoes immediately. If people misunderstood him as stealing his brother's wife's embroidered shoes, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
He threw the shoes into the corner of his two younger brothers' room while they were not paying attention, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But this time, he really felt that he had sleepwalking, so he changed clinics and saw a new doctor.
He saw several doctors, and they all said that he was just nervous and depressed.
Jiang Ke didn't know whether he should believe the doctor's words, so he went to a good friend to drink and complain. His friend was very curious about this sleepwalking and simply suggested that he stay at his house for a few nights to observe what was going on.
As a result, he stayed at his friend's house for a few days without any incident.
Jiang Ke couldn't tell whether he was relieved or more worried.
I was relieved that I didn't have any strange disease, but I was worried about something that happened in my room at night, and I had no reasonable explanation.
When he returned home, his younger brother came to him worriedly and asked him where he had been for the past few days.
Jiang Ke told him about living in his good friend's house and assured him that he was not sick.
He felt that Jiang Zhuo's expression looked a little strange after hearing this, but he didn't think much about it at the time.
As a result, the next morning, the box in his room blocked the door and the room was in a mess again.
My sister-in-law seemed frightened and said, "Could it be that there is an evil spirit in the house that possesses you at night?"
After hearing this, Jiang Ke became even more uneasy.
If I am not sick, then I might have really offended something unclean.
He finally remembered the Tianming Pavilion that the neighbors had been talking about recently, and the story of its owner "Master Qingyun", so he came to East Street, hoping to find an expert to help him.
Jiang Ke finished speaking and sighed deeply:
"Master, my family is quite well-off. If you can help me get rid of the evil spirit, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Yun Qingqing looked at him calmly:
"You don't have sleepwalking."
Jiang Ke nodded, his face turning pale:
"So, it is indeed the evil spirit that is causing trouble..."
"No." Yun Qingqing denied decisively, "You are not possessed by evil spirits either."
