"This, this, this! Is there really a ghost in Taoist Cui's house?" Chen Yuanweng turned pale with fright and jumped up from his chair almost as a reflex.
Chen Qingzhi and Bai Duo also looked at the extra bowls and chopsticks as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
It would be understandable if the servant misremembered the extra set. But next to the extra set of bowls and chopsticks, there were still leftover fish bones.
They didn't even move at the dining table, and even if the servants had ten courages, they wouldn't dare to eat at the master's dining table.
Then there is only one possibility, which is a supernatural event.
"Don't panic, I don't see any problem." Cui Wenzi opened his spiritual eyes and found that there was no yin energy left in this house, indicating that no ghosts had ever been here.
When everyone heard what Cui Wenzi said, their frightened hearts did not get much better.
I saw Chen Yuanweng furiously calling his servants in.
"What did you do? It's so unlucky for five people to eat with six sets of bowls and chopsticks!"
Facing Chen Yuanweng's scolding, the servant who prepared the dinner did not dare to express his anger, and hesitantly said: "Sir, I have been working in the mansion for so many years, there is no way I can make a mistake.
Counting the second young master who is currently handling matters, six people are just enough. "
"You're blind! Look carefully at how many people are in this room!"
After getting Chen Yuanweng's approval, he dared to raise his head, but his facial expression was very wonderful, and he replied tremblingly: "Including the second young master who didn't come, there are exactly five people, but I clearly saw someone following you, master.
The younger one also stayed at the door, and no one left the room. "
Hearing what the servant said, everyone present looked very pale, and there was a ghost that even the spiritual eyes could not detect.
But how did the ordinary boy see it?
"Let me ask you, were there women who entered this room before?" Bai Duo asked.
The servant recalled it and said categorically: "There are no women."
When Bai Duo heard this and Cui Wenzi looked at each other, it was enough to prove that it was a male ghost, but it was difficult to judge whether it was the ghost in the mirror.
After all, the known information only shows that the mirror ghost can replace the identity of a person, and it also has an entity in reality. Otherwise, Chen Qingzhi would not be able to deal with it with powerful physical attacks.
"Then do you know the appearance and characteristics of the sixth person?" Chen Qingzhi asked.
"Master, please atone for your sins. Not to mention six people, even sixteen people passed by in front of me. I can still remember them.
This is the basic skill of being a servant.
But for some reason, I just can't recall the person's appearance or clothing. I only know that he seemed to be a male.
His existence in my mind is all gray. "
Having said that, Chen Qingzhi didn't want to embarrass the servant anymore and waved his hand to let him leave.
"Everyone, it seems that we can't eat this meal."
The Chen family father and son gave a wry smile, and then left the room that seemed to be filled with ghosts.
But when several people closed the door, the sound of using dishes and chopsticks could be heard strangely in the airtight room.
They were so frightened that they hurried away.
Chen Donghai is worthy of being the second-in-command of the entire Chen family firm, and his execution ability is very high.
In just one meal, all reflective objects in the house, large and small, were sealed with white wax.
"Fortunately, I also run a candle business at home, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find so much inventory in such a short period of time."
Chen Donghai was about to announce the good news to everyone, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the sad faces of everyone, and he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
"Did something happen again?"
Chen Yuanweng sighed, "What evil have our Chen family done? God, you want to do this to us!"
After several conversations, Chen Donghai also understood the whole story.
"Then what should we do now? Who can guarantee that there are no evil spirits in other parts of the Chen Mansion? Master Cui, I have obviously sealed all the mirrors, why is this still happening?"
Cui Wenzi was also puzzled. It was fifty years since he debuted, and it was only in the past ten years that he actually encountered ghosts.
And I have only encountered a few cases. Most of the ghost stories can be found in half of the demon-sealing records passed down by the master.
"The extra people are undoubtedly ghosts. If a person without cultivation sees a ghost and is not killed yet, then he will most likely not be able to remember the ghost's face.
But fortunately, the ghost didn't start killing people, or we didn't touch the pattern of killing people. For example, the ghost in the mirror only kills people when they look in the mirror in the middle of the night. "
Bai Duo secretly noted that most people who couldn't remember their faces afterwards were ghosts.
"Although that ghost hasn't killed anyone now, who can guarantee that we won't accidentally touch its killing rules? Just waiting for death is not an option.
Taoist Cui, do you have any other brothers? Our government is willing to increase the reward to ten thousand taels per person, just for peace! "
Chen Yuanweng doubled the bonus tenfold, even Bai Duo was very excited. If he had this money, he wouldn't have to worry about the elixir for a long time.
You can also buy a house in the inner city, which greatly increases the safety of your home.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I am the only one left in my lineage. As for the other fellow Taoists, I don't know them either.
But you can move out of the Chen Mansion first. By this time, my apprentice should have found a place to live. "
Chen Yuanweng naturally understood what Cui Wenzi meant, and nodded quickly. He was eager to leave this hellish place, and living with Cui Wenzi was safe and guaranteed.
It's better than worrying here. When Cui Wenzi gets rid of the ghosts, it won't be too late for them to move back.
"Second Young Master! The Second Young Master is in trouble. The guards and maids in the mansion are all shouting to run away. They have gathered around the gate of the mansion and started breaking down the door!"
A middle-aged man wearing a maroon mandarin jacket hurried over. He was Chen Donghai's confidant and the shopkeeper he had trained.
"You want to run? How dare you break down the door?!" Chen Donghai's face was so gloomy that he could cry. He locked the door just to prevent someone from escaping from the house.
You must know that people's words are terrible. If someone with knowledge comes out and talks nonsense, whoever dares to cooperate with the Chen family will feel unlucky.
You have to walk around in front of the door.
Although the losses could not bring down the Chen family's fortune, it was enough to cause them pain for a long time.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Chen Donghai and his party quickly arrived at the main courtyard, and as expected, many people gathered in front of the black and red gate.
"Stop it all! I've rebelled against you!" Chen Donghai shouted loudly and came to the crowd who had gathered to make trouble with an angry face.
"Second Young Master! Although you have always deliberately concealed the haunting in the house, we are not fools! You kept us in the dark, and how many brothers and sisters died? What did you think of our lives?"
The maids were female after all. In addition to being frightened by the strangeness, they did not dare to face Chen Donghai's power.
So it was just a guard from the ninth level of external strength who expressed his dissatisfaction in a rough voice.
And behind him stood four or five strong men with round waists. Although they did not make a sound, their stance was already obvious as they stood here.
Chen Donghai sneered, recognized the guard, and said in a cold voice: "Fang Ping, your martial arts cultivation today is all thanks to our Chen family.
I usually think of you as the captain of the guard, so I respect you even more. Can you tell me with your conscience, have I ever treated you wrong? "
"Second Young Master, although what you said is true, I have also devoted myself to the government these years, so we are even!
We respect you and call you "Second Young Master". If we don't respect you, you are just a helpless businessman.
So many of us want to leave, can you still stop us? "
The leader of the guards, Fang Ping, turned to his accomplices behind him and said passionately: "He, Chen Donghai, is a member of the Chen family. Wherever he goes, a tree cannot be separated from its roots, but why should we, an outsider, risk our lives here?
If you want to bury us together, you are just doing..."
Chi!
The bright silver sword flashed past, and Fang Ping suddenly felt that his vision was spinning. His head was directly sprayed far away by the blood pressure from the broken neck, and finally fell into the dog basin and was eaten by a wolf dog.
"I don't know whether to live or die! Of course your lives are important, but from the moment you signed the deed of betrayal, your lives have already belonged to the Chen family!
Although I'm not as harsh as my second brother on weekdays, don't expect me as the Holy Mother to allow you to repeatedly provoke you on issues of principle! "
Chen Qingzhi swept through the crowd with a blood-stained sword, his wild hair was like a lion, and the killing intent in his eyes was even more chilling.
"When I traveled with my master in the early years, I also received letters from my father. I am not surprised by today's rebellion.
Because although cultivating many warriors can make the power in the mansion strong, the top leaders of the Chen family are still businessmen in essence, and there is no strong force that can suppress you.
That’s why I gave you the courage today.
But what I want to say is that I, Chen Qingzhi, am back! If anyone wants to go down and be buried with him, feel free to come forward and try! "
The maids who wanted to escape had never seen such a battle before. At this moment, Chen Qingzhi was as frightened as the evil ghost hiding in the dark.
Those guards had seen blood and had handled many dirty things for the Chen family, but at this moment they were impressed by Chen Qingzhi's powerful force.
For a moment, everyone was so frightened that no one mentioned leaving the Chen Mansion.
Bai Duo was not surprised at all by Chen Qingzhi's iron-blooded methods. Although he was bold and bold, there was another [heroic] destiny in his entry.
How can such a person be a good man? As long as you don't touch his interests, he can be a good gentleman. If you annoy him, it will be blood splattered at the least, and it will directly affect the whole family at the worst.
Sure enough, Chen Qing immediately ordered someone to go and take out the deed of betrayal.
"This is a detailed record of your family situation. Think carefully about everything. If you go back now, I will pretend that what happened today never happened!"
