According to the descriptions of everyone in the Chen family, the place where Cui Wenzi mentioned that the Yin energy was strong was the residence of the maids, Lotus Square.
Outside Lotus Square, Chen Yuanweng summoned more than a dozen strong guards to form a raiding party, while Cui Wenzi, Bai Duo, and Chen Qingzhi were at the forefront.
At the same time, all the maids in Hehuafang were expelled, and they stood aside timidly, looking at the people with solemn expressions on their faces, at a loss.
"During this period, our house lost three maids and one guard who was recovering from injuries. Now that we have found out that the ghost is hiding in Hehuafang, we hope that the Taoist Master will make the decision for those innocent souls."
When Chen Yuanweng thought of these frightening days, he became afraid.
"Why don't you report to the official?" Bai Duo asked, expressing his doubts.
"Alas, these people are missing, not dead in the mansion. Ever since the first maid disappeared half a month ago, we actually didn't pay too much attention.
We didn't pay attention until one of the guards disappeared.
At first, there was no suspicion that a ghost was responsible for the crime. After all, I had never heard of such a mysterious thing.
It wasn't until my son Qingzhi was injured and two maids disappeared that we suspected that a ghost was responsible.
Little brother, you may not know, but we also went to the Yamen, and the policeman came over and took a look, but didn't see anything.
In the end it was nothing. "
Chen Yuanweng had a sad look on his face. Ever since the originally weak maid injured his brave and invincible son, he had completely believed that ghosts really existed.
If it wasn't for being possessed by a ghost, how could Chen Qingzhi not be able to defeat a little maid?
Moreover, it is very strange for a person who has been missing for many days to reappear out of thin air.
"What do you mean you don't care too much? Although the servants in the mansion have signed a contract with you, they are still alive."
Cui Wenzi frowned, because the Chen family didn't pay attention to it at first, so the ghost became stronger and stronger.
Human life is an excellent tonic for nourishing the power of ghosts.
"This... is what Taoist Cui taught you." Chen Yuanweng did not dare to refute.
Cui Wenzi snorted coldly, knowing that there was no need to delay, so he walked into the Lotus Square with square steps.
At a glance, he could see the three rooms with the strongest Yin energy in this world.
It was exactly where the three missing maids lived.
The room has been vacated, and the other maids living in it have been assigned elsewhere.
"You guys slept together. Wasn't there anything unusual when the victim disappeared?" Cui Wenzi asked the maids.
During this period of time, everyone in the Chen Mansion was tense. Now that they learned that the ghost was where they lived, some of the timid maids were so frightened that they could not even speak clearly.
"The Taoist priest is asking you a question!" Chen Donghai was furious and yelled.
Bai Duo observed Cui Wenzi's expression from the sidelines. Although he had told the Chen family not to ignore the subordinates before, it seemed that the senior officials of the Chen family still did not listen.
The servants can beat, scold, and even kill them at will.
The reason why they are so keen on finding capable people to solve the ghost problem may not be to avenge their servants, but because the existence of ghosts threatens them.
The Chen family also started to pay attention to it because the guard disappeared. Obviously it is not easy to train a guard, so it is naturally more valuable than a maid.
"Okay, second brother, what's the use of just yelling? It will only be counterproductive." Chen Qingzhi pushed Chen Donghai away, stood tall and tall in front of the maids, and said in a soft voice: "With Taoist Cui and me here, you won't What's the danger?
Communicating with you is just a way to better deal with the dirty things that are causing trouble. You don’t want to be worried all day long, right? "
Chen Qingzhi's strong strength and gentle voice gave the maid a strong sense of security, so she stopped trembling and began to recall every moment with the missing person.
But he still shook his head, "I'm sorry, eldest son, I let you down. But I really don't know how those sisters disappeared. They were fine at night, and they were fine during breakfast during the day.
But after we separated to do our own things, we never saw her again during lunch. "
Chen Qingzhi sighed and nodded to indicate that he understood.
The same goes for other maids. Everyone has their own job to maintain the daily operation of such a large mansion.
Impossible to stick together.
If ghosts only attack when they are alone, then no one knows how she disappeared.
"No, all the victims disappeared in the room." Cui Wenzi was different from others. He could see the residual Yin Qi with his spiritual eyes.
Obviously, the three rooms in Lotus Square have the heaviest Yin energy.
"Master Cui, what do you mean?" Chen Qingzhi was puzzled.
Cui Wenzi shook his head. He didn't know how to explain it specifically. He could only conclude that the hostage disappeared in the room.
"Perhaps the person you know has died long ago, and a ghost is playing her role?"
With such a low voice, Cui Wenzi took off the mahogany sword from his back and took it in his hand. He used the tip of the sword to push open the door of one of the rooms and began to explore the situation inside the room with his spiritual eyes open.
Bai Duo and Chen Qingzhi looked at each other and followed closely.
"Qingzhi, what are you doing?" Chen Yuanweng and others held torches to guard the entrance of Hehuafang, obviously unwilling to risk their lives.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
"Father, second brother, you two will stay outside for now. I have experience fighting that ghost, this is very important.
If we kill the evil spirits as soon as possible, our Chen family will be at peace one day earlier. "
Seeing what Chen Qingzhi said, Chen Yuanweng couldn't hold on anymore.
Chen Qingzhi was able to kill the ghosts alone that night. Now that Cui Wenzi and Bai Duo are in the mix, the risk should not be great.
The furnishings in the bedroom are very simple, there is only a stone table for tea, a simple dressing table in the corner, and then there is a big shop.
There was room for about five people sleeping on the earthen bunk bed, and one of them was the one who was killed.
There was no oil lamp in the house, and the only light was the moon outside the window. The moonlight penetrated through the window paper, illuminating the whole room in a faint blue.
It seemed very depressing and suffocating.
In Cui Wenzi's field of vision, the place was almost shrouded in dark purple smoke, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Taoist Cui, have you discovered anything?"
Chen Qingzhi and Bai Duo also had hair on their backs. Although they did not have spiritual eyes, they had the powerful perception of warriors and could sense something was wrong in the room.
"The yin energy here is very strong. It's obvious that the ghost has been here for a long time." Cui Wenzi said.
Bai Duo rubbed his chin and asked doubtfully: "I heard from you, Taoist Master, that the ghost attacked here, so why didn't it kill everyone in the house instead of picking one person to attack?"
This was exactly Chen Qingzhi's doubts. Up to four people had died at the hands of that ghost, and it could even make the maid, who was originally powerless, draw a tie with him.
This is enough to show how terrifying the ghost is.
But since he has the ability to destroy groups, why would he pick people to kill?
There was even a time when he jumped over the lotus root square and directly killed the guardian who lived in the lotus root square.
"I'm also considering this, and now I suspect that the ghost is following a murderous pattern.
Those who were killed must have accidentally triggered its murderous pattern, while others in the same room did not, so they survived.
Ghosts of this level have long since surpassed the spiritual level. In the circles of strangers like us, we call this kind of ghosts that kill people according to rules called restricted level. "
Cui Wenzi's face was solemn.
