It was still the familiar map, with a flickering coordinate appearing on the dark lines.
Qi Family Compound, the ninth tail of the nine-tailed fox.
{When it comes to enchanting people, who can compare to the nine-tailed fox? Even the gods who make their living by enchanting others will feel ashamed to possess the nine-tailed fox's most precious tail.}
Just as Chu Mu guessed, the next thing that appeared was an object to deal with the Enchant God.
"Xiao Achu, did your parents go to the Qi family compound?"
"Yes," Xiao Achu nodded, "The eldest daughter of the Qi family was bitten by a fox demon, and they asked my parents to come over and exorcise the demon and save her."
Thinking of the scene he just saw, Chu Mu frowned: "It seems that the Qi family has long fallen into the hands of the fox demon. It deliberately set a trap to lure your parents there. It must have other purposes."
Chu Mu could sense the life breath of the Chu couple, so they should still be alive.
They were captured but not killed immediately. Were they used as bait to catch Chu Mu, the fish?
If this is the case, then the nine-tailed fox is probably no less difficult to deal with than the snake.
Without further ado, Chu Mu left the house under the scorching sun despite not having fully recovered yet.
"Wait, let's go in a carriage."
Fan Ji immediately went to the backyard to harness the carriage and placed a basin of ice in the carriage.
Chu Mu was sitting in the carriage while Fan Ji was driving the car outside.
The daytime temperature has now reached a terrifying 60 degrees Celsius. If the sun shines on your body, it will turn you into a red shrimp in a short time.
It is also because of this that no one goes out before the sun sets.
Chu Mu opened the door of the carriage and said, "Come in."
He held a palm-leaf fan in his hand, sending the cool air from the ice basin towards Fan Ji.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't push too hard." Fan Ji felt a little distressed, "I'm not hot."
Chu Mu looked at his back, which was almost soaked with sweat, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right! Am I stupid?!"
He took out a solar fan from his space backpack and placed it directly outside the car, fanning it while charging.
"Ah..." Chu Mu sighed comfortably, "This is what life should be like for humans. Air conditioning, watermelon, ice cream... I really miss the life of modern people."
"It's almost over," Fan Ji said softly, "and then you can live whatever life you want."
"It's not me," Chu Mu corrected him, "it's us."
Fan Ji's deep eyes shone with a faint light: "Yes, it's us."
…
The Qi Family Compound and the Qimen are located in the east and west of the city respectively. If it weren't for the basin of ice and the electric fan, the journey alone would have been enough to make the two of them suffer.
Animals are more adaptable than humans. After walking for almost an hour under the scorching sun, the ice had melted. The horse pulling the cart was in good condition. After feeding it a few fresh carrots, it immediately recovered and was able to pull the cart for a few steps.
The Qi Family Compound is a typical wealthy family. The outer wall is built very high. In the past, it could prevent thieves, and now it can prevent evildoers.
Fan Ji chose an empty house nearby and hid the horse inside. Then he and Chu Mu went around to the foot of the Qi family's wall.
Chu Mu compared the height of the wall and asked, "Just climb over it?"
Although it was not difficult for them, no one could guarantee what was on the other side of the wall.
Fan Ji pondered for a moment: "I'll go up and take a look first, you're down there..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Chu Mu's face had turned gloomy.
"Uh--" Fan Ji couldn't continue.
"Together." Chu Mu didn't give him a chance to refute and climbed up the wall first.
Fan Ji had no choice but to catch up quickly.
Chu Mu chose a good location. There was a big camphor tree behind the wall. After they climbed up the wall, they jumped directly onto the camphor tree and hid in the dense leaves.
"There's something strange."
After just one look, Chu Mu frowned.
The Qi Family Courtyard is a typical three-in-one quadrangle courtyard. Looking down from a high vantage point, you can clearly see the Chinese character "目" (eye).
But the weird thing is that the building in this courtyard is upside down.
In a normal courtyard house, the outer courtyard is right after the main gate, the inner courtyard is right after the second gate, and the main house is right after passing through the inner courtyard.
The Qi family is different. Behind the gate that Chu Mu saw just now is their annex room, followed by the main house, and then the inner courtyard, and so on.
In this way, the directions of the east and west wing rooms changed, east became west, and west became east.
"Yin and Yang are opposites, and everything is opposite." Chu Mu's expression was solemn. "The Qi family compound is a Yin house built in the world of the living."
It is impossible that the Qi family did not notice such an obvious feng shui taboo.
Fan Ji looked at it carefully for a while and said, "The orientation of their house was changed later. They built a wall and opened a door directly on the back side of the house. There was no problem before... Why did they do this?"
Chu Mu observed the courtyard for a while and said, "The Qi family is raising ghosts, or in other words, they are practicing the evil ghost way."
There are century-old locust trees planted in the four corners of the courtyard, and the eye of the wind that gathers energy has been directly turned into an evil eye by a well.
There are soul-calling banners hanging around the well, and there must be many ghosts who died tragically at the bottom of the well.
Ding-a-ling...
Suddenly, a series of strange bells rang.
Chu Mu looked down and unexpectedly met a pale smiling face.
I don't know if that thing just appeared or has been there from the beginning.
Chu Mu and Fan Ji didn't even notice it.
"Hehehe."
The ghost thing laughed strangely and twisted its neck with a crackling sound.
Its neck bones kept making crisp sounds until they twisted into an impossible arc.
