"Cousin, is this really okay for us?"
"That's great. Don't think what we did is unreasonable. After all, even if we didn't call out evil spirits at the time, we would definitely do so if others found out. Besides, there are still officials to determine the status, and we didn't create evil spirits. Maybe we will still Prevent disaster for others!"
"I'm not saying that our behavior is bad, I'm saying that Wang Fugui wants eighty taels, and we can't give him that much money!"
"We can't give it to him, but he can sell it at a lower price!"
Zhang Xuezhou mentioned his investment to the clerk in the Internal Affairs Bureau, and then met with Wang Fugui.
Things then fell into a state of waiting to see which side couldn't stand it first.
This is indeed an excellent house that Zhang Xuezhou has seen. If it can be bought with limited funds, it will be far better than living in an ordinary building that may leak.
After all, there are real advantages to properties that are well-cared for by wealthy people.
If he had enough money, Zhang Xuezhou would buy it directly.
At the moment, he could only wait and keep stopping at Jingzhaoyi Mansion and on the way to Laoshu Hutong, hoping to be seen by Wang Fugui when he returned.
If someone intercepts him halfway, there is nothing Zhang Xuezhou can do.
The matter was probably like this. After Zhang Xuezhou talked about it a little, Rong Tianding already knew it clearly.
"If we move in, will the house really be okay?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice, "I always feel like my spell hit something dirty!"
"You are good at fire skills!"
Zhang Xuezhou said that there was no big problem in moving in.
He was quite interested in discussing Rong Tianding's Nanming Fire Technique.
In addition to dealing with dead ghosts, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that Rong Tianding's Nanming Fire Technique could also deal with situations such as Yang soul possession, remote control of spells, etc., and even injured the big demon deer Baibai. This kind of magic has a far-reaching range. Compared with Dong Zhongshu's previous determination that the scope of professionalism is wider than that of living creatures.
This is not because Dong Zhongshu is hiding something, but because Nanming Fire of the Shijiao School is a secret technique. There are very few practitioners of this kind of fire technique, and they rarely have any reputation, which leads to their lack of knowledge.
Just like the beast control technique of the Beast Control Sect, everyone thinks that this technique controls ordinary beasts and monsters. It is difficult for anyone to think that it can control people.
"That is to say, if you encounter something weird, I can just use a small flame to shoot it?" Rong Tianding said.
"I think I can give it a try!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
It is not easy to test the adaptability of Nanming Fire. This fire is extremely unique and difficult to get rid of after being contaminated. Even top practitioners like Shi Wudao were slowly burned and led to despair. It was difficult for Zhang Xuezhou and others to test themselves. .
If they wanted to find some enemies, Zhang Xuezhou claimed that he was innocent and had not provoked any enemies, and no enemies had come to Chang'an City.
In the end, he had to let Rong Tianding add a Nanming Fire whenever he saw it. No matter whether it was useful or not, he would try it if he had the chance.
The two chatted happily and passed a lot of time.
When the sun went down, Wang Fugui walked out of Jing Zhaoyi's house worriedly. Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding suddenly came to their senses.
The two of them did not squat next to Wang Fugui's carriage, but were tens of meters apart.
When Wang Fugui got closer, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding started talking loudly.
"Brother, we went around Chang'an City today. We didn't expect so many people to want to sell their houses," Rong Tianding said.
"There are too many," Zhang Xuezhou said loudly: "If we want a good house, we can only choose slowly. There is no need to rush this matter!"
"I'm not in a hurry. At the worst, I can continue to live in the hotel. It's not a problem to stay there for half a year for ten and a half taels a day!"
"There is a nice house in the west of Chang'an City. It is half an acre of land. I am willing to sell it for only twenty taels of silver!"
“The price is not bad!”
"But there was an old tree next to that house that caught fire in the middle of the night!"
"What are you afraid of? It's just a burning old tree!"
…
Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding were talking loudly, which made Wang Fugui, who was about to get on the carriage, stop and keep approaching the two of them.
When he got closer, he remembered that these two people had met once before in the Imperial Household.
He sold the house, and Zhang Xuezhou and others bought the house. The only inappropriate thing was that it was difficult to match what the two wanted.
Wang Fugui wanted to sell real estate worth 70 to 80 taels of silver, while Zhang Xuezhou and others were looking for real estate worth 12 to 30 taels of silver.
"Is this the house that you mentioned was affected by evil things?" Wang Fugui said.
"Yes." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said: "The head of the household said that his house was worth fifty taels of silver. After this incident, he sold it for twenty taels of silver. But now everyone is watching the excitement and no one is paying for it!"
"this……"
A house worth fifty taels of silver is sold for twenty taels. This is not a half discount, it is a price that breaks the bones.
But even so, the house was not sold.
Wang Fugui thought about the house he bought for 110 taels of silver, and then thought about the selling price of 80 taels of silver. For the first time, he felt that his price was a bit too high.
According to the price of the other party's fracture, a house affected by evil spirits like his is sold for between forty taels and fifty taels of silver. If it is to be sold at a low price to attract bolder people to buy it, the price will be even lower.
Wang Fugui previously felt that his price was fair, but after a comparison, he only felt that the probability of selling his house was slim.
"I looked at the face of the head of the household. It's unknown what happened to his darkened hall. He may have attracted evil spirits." Zhang Xuezhou said: "If we wait a little longer, his property may be sold for ten taels of silver!"
"Twelve taels is a good price." Rong Tianding nodded and said, "He is afraid of death, but we are not afraid of death. As long as the price is low, we can buy it even if he dies in the house!"
"After all, I am also an official commander. I can live in a haunted house by relying on the authority of the imperial court. How can I be afraid of a haunted house?" Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile: "And I can also read faces and know when something happens to that person. Let's just wait. !”
"..."
The discussion between Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding was too naked, and they were even waiting to make a fortune.
This made Wang Fugui feel very sad. He felt that these two guys were so heartless that they were waiting to buy a dead man's house.
He thought for a few seconds and suddenly came to his senses.
"My lord, do you recognize his face?" Wang Fugui asked.
"You can tell whether it's accurate or not after a try. After all, this kind of thing can't be fake, and it can't be true if it's fake," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.
"My lord, what you said makes sense. Can you show me your face?" Wang Fugui asked anxiously.
"Can you listen to good words?"
"I can hear it!"
"Can you hear bad words?"
"It's definitely no problem!"
"Then stand still, I'll take a look at you!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked at Wang Fugui with great interest. When Wang Fugui looked at him and his heart went crazy, Zhang Xuezhou pressed his finger on the opponent's seal.
The memory fragments brought about by the release of the fortune-telling technique quickly appeared before Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.
In just one minute, he saw some of the major events that Wang Fugui had experienced in his life.
This also allowed Zhang Xuezhou to see some interesting things.
