Chapter 250 It's all an illusion
"Your wife is not normal."
[Something's not right? Everything seems normal to us. Can the master enlighten us?]
[Is this abnormal? Could it be that his wife has an improper job?]
"Host, are you just being sour because you can't have the grapes? I think my wife is much prettier than you. Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
Gu Yunxi didn't care about his teasing at all. "Let's make a bet. If you burn this copper coin, I think it can catch fire."
"What?! What nonsense are you talking about? How can copper coins burn?"
The man took one down and examined it closely. Apart from the lack of a reign mark, it was no different from the copper coins he had seen before.
These things are all antiques. I wonder how much money I could get for them. Then I would be the richest man in Nancheng.
Yeah, what nonsense are you talking about?
"Didn't you notice something wrong with your copper coin? There's nothing there, just a square hole. That means it's currency circulating down here."
"What do you mean? Speak more clearly. What do you mean by 'above' and 'below'? I don't have a high level of education, and I can't speak in riddles."
"What I mean is that all those copper coins you're holding, and everything else in your house, are meant to be burned for the dead!"
"Have you ever looked in the mirror properly? Your lips are starting to turn purple, which means you've been working in a place with heavy yin energy for a long time, or living with people with heavy yin energy, causing your yang energy to leak out. If you don't leave this place soon, your parents will only be able to see your corpse in less than two months."
"Bullshit! I'm perfectly fine, I can eat and sleep well, how could I be in this situation?"
The man was clearly angry; his eyebrows were raised.
"Believe it or not, you'll see once you try it. Just pick up any object and you can definitely set it on fire. I guarantee it with my integrity. If your friend hadn't found me and asked me to help you out, do you think I would have had the time to play around with you here?"
"If everything you're saying is false, I will definitely follow the internet to find you and ruin your business!"
The man returned to the living room with a gold ingot and a string of copper coins. After putting his phone away, he briefly left the camera's view and went to the bathroom to find where he had hidden his lighter.
"If it weren't for my wife being a clean person and not letting me light any fires at home, I would have quit smoking altogether. Luckily, I kept this lighter, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to start a fire!"
Qian Guang still planned to conduct the experiment in front of the camera, showing off a copper coin before picking up a lighter.
"Bang!"
"Everyone, open your eyes and watch closely, the moment of truth has arrived."
Qian Guang brought the copper coin close to the lighter, but to his surprise, the coin caught fire the moment the flame touched it. He was so frightened that he quickly threw it away.
The thing didn't fall; instead, it floated into the air and turned to ashes, just like burning paper.
"Maybe this is just how the material is. Let's try another one."
He still felt that the anchor's words were not entirely correct, but his resolve was beginning to waver.
After the gold ingot was lit, it was too heavy to float up and burned to ashes. A cold wind blew, and the ashes were blown away as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Guang, what are you doing?"
Qian Guang didn't move. Gu Yunxi cast a spell, and his phone camera slowly turned towards the second floor.
A man and a woman, both quite old, were standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, but they were dressed differently – one in red and the other in green.
It's like wearing a funeral shroud.
[My goodness, I'm getting chills! The anchor was right, this man thought he'd found a treasure, but he was actually fooled by appearances.]
Now that you mention it, I remember when my grandmother passed away recently, we burned paper money for her using these copper coins. We even folded the gold ingots together, and the way this man burned them was almost exactly the same.
"Mom and Dad, it's nothing, I'm just on the phone with a friend."
The two elderly people turned around, walked in unison towards the bedroom, and closed the door.
Their steps were so synchronized, it was as if they had undergone military training.
"Your ghost wife is quite clever; she even managed to find out her parents. However, those two are not her biological parents, but rather relatives who burned them for her, afraid that she would be lonely down there."
You're lucky to have encountered something like this. After all those experiments, did you even realize that everything around you is an illusion?
"Master, everything you said is true, you're not joking with me!"
Qian Guang also sensed something was wrong, and that's when he started to feel a little nervous.
Although his wife had just gone to work, leaving only the three of them at home, he hadn't thought it was that scary before, but now, after all this, he felt a chill run down his spine and was a little uneasy.
"If what I just said still doesn't convince you, go straight to the second floor and burn your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Master, I...I..."
When Qian Guang heard what she said, he became even more frightened. What kind of good person would go and burn his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
[Haha! This is hilarious! This is the first time the master has ever joked like this, but is what she said really true?]
Is it possible that what he said was the truth and he wasn't joking?
"What are you afraid of? Those are just paper figures, they don't have any offensive power. Aren't you trying to slap me in the face and prove that everything I said is false? Why not give it a try?"
Pei Jingchuan kept sending private messages to Qian Guang, whether out of nervousness or something else, he didn't hear the notification sound at all.
Actually, after reading many comments, Qian Guang realized that this woman, despite her young age, was incredibly capable. So even without burning those two people, he believed it was all real!
How could someone as ugly as me be chosen by such a beautiful wife?
She was attracted to his yang energy, and Qian Guang shuddered.
Upon closer examination, there are many things that are worth questioning.
His parents-in-law never seem to come downstairs. Even if his wife orders takeout, he brings it in and delivers it to the second floor. They eat it and then throw the trash at the door.
They never move around and are not afraid of indigestion.
The two sat quietly on the edge of the bed, not watching TV, not using their phones, not moving or speaking.
He actually believed his wife's nonsense: her parents had Alzheimer's disease and therefore didn't like to move around.
"Master... Master, is my wife really a ghost?"
Looking at the wedding photo behind him, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He now wished he could just escape from this eerie place.
Upon seeing the anchor nod, he could no longer contain himself.
I have to get out of here!
Qian Guang grabbed his phone and coat; nothing else was his, so he had to leave quickly.
Before he even reached the door, he heard the electronic door lock beeping.
