After leaving the lake, Qin Ming went directly back to Jinhua Community. Because every time he went home, he used the ghost zone and never walked through the gate. This time he took the normal route and was stopped by the security guard.
After I got home, I lay on the sofa a little tired, lying there in a daze.
"Brother Qin, you are back."
Qin Xiaoyu walked out of the bedroom, looked at Qin Ming lying on the sofa and said with a smile.
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this.
Then he saw some hesitation in Qin Xiaoyu's eyes, and asked directly
"Xiao Yu, what's the matter? If you have anything, just tell me."
Qin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, um...can you accompany me home?"
Qin Ming was slightly startled after hearing this.
"Go home? Go back to your hometown?"
"Yes... I want to go home, take a look, and pick up some things. I'm a little scared, so I want Brother Qin to accompany me home." Qin Xiaoyu pinched the corner of his clothes nervously and whispered.
"That's it..."
Qin Ming's heart trembled, and his expression moved slightly. This was also an opportunity for him to explore. He was still curious about the identity of Qin Xiaoyu's grandmother, who was suspected to be a ghost controller during the Republic of China.
"Okay, I'll accompany you home, and I'll go take a look." After Qin Ming finished thinking, he said to Qin Xiaoyu with a smile.
Because he didn't know the location of Qin Xiaoyu's hometown, Qin Ming didn't use Ghostland to travel, but took a car with Qin Xiaoyu.
After a while, we are getting closer and closer to the target. This is an old residential area with relatively old buildings. Most of them are tile-roofed houses, and occasionally some have been renovated.
"It's quite remote here." Qin Ming looked at the buildings from the car window and said softly
Qin Xiaoyu smiled slightly, pointed to an area with his finger and said: "The buildings in this area have been there a long time ago, and most of the people living here are old people and are unwilling to move, so the government gave up here."
"I heard that there are many buildings here that existed during the Republic of China and are still intact."
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
"Is that so?"
The buildings from the Republic of China may be left behind by the ghost masters of the Republic of China. Since Qin Xiaoyu and her grandmother lived here, the value of this place is pretty good.
Soon, the car stopped. The road was not easy to walk on. Because there was no renovation and maintenance, the road was full of potholes and occasionally stones piled up.
When Qin Ming got out of the car, he saw an old house in the style of the Republic of China. It was relatively large in size and had not been damaged too much due to age. It was still relatively well-preserved.
"Xiaoyu, is this your hometown? It looks good. It's an old house from the Republic of China. Your grandparents must have been quite wealthy at that time." Qin Ming said to Qin Xiaoyu with a smile.
"No, I don't know what they used to do. I have lived here since I was a child. I have always lived here when I was a child. I really miss it."
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the house in front of him, slightly dazed, his eyes full of nostalgia.
After the last two or three seconds, he adjusted himself and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, let's go in. The house may be a bit old and dirty, so don't dislike it."
"Won't."
Walking to the door of the mansion, there was a copper lock on the door. Qin Xiaoyu took out the old key, and with a click, the lock opened.
When Qin Ming opened the door, he smelled a musty smell. It seemed that the entire house had lost its popularity because no one had lived in it for a long time.
The space is large, with a lot of old furniture, mostly wooden furniture. There are two Taishi chairs in the center of the lobby, and the chairs have been covered with a thin layer of dust.
There are two black and white portraits hanging above. They are Qin Xiaoyu's grandparents.
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the two portraits with tears in her eyes. When she noticed Qin Ming's eyes looking at her, she quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes.
Qin Ming shook his head slightly when he saw this, and then started to wait and see.
"Brother Qin, I need to burn some incense now, and then go to the room to get some things and clean the house. You can go shopping first."
Qin Xiaoyu said, and at some point three more sticks of incense appeared in his hand. After speaking, he turned and left.
Qin Ming had been feeling something was wrong since he came in. There was something inexplicable. The whole house had a cold aura. When he stood at the door, he felt that there was a supernatural aura in the house.
"Qin Xiaoyu's grandmother is most likely a ghost controller, and so is her grandfather," Qin Ming thought to himself.
"Maybe you can try it."
After saying that, Qin Ming wanted to open the ghost realm to explore the house.
But what he didn't expect was that the special ghost eye closed the moment it opened, leaving only a crack exposed.
Even the ghost realm that had just opened instantly dispersed, and he was suppressed.
"What?!"
Qin Ming's pupils shrank sharply, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
His eyes suddenly looked at the two portraits in the center of the lobby.
"This house is so scary. It can actually suppress supernatural beings. My ghost eyes closed as soon as I opened them, and even the shadows under my feet turned into normal ones."
"The most important thing is that my ghost realm is ineffective here." Qin Ming's face was extremely solemn and fearful.
Fortunately, this is Qin Xiaoyu's hometown, and as the owner of this place, she should be fine.
After adjusting his mentality, Qin Ming continued to look at the next room.
The old and simple wooden door creaked when it was gently pushed open. Qin Ming saw the piles inside, which seemed to be a room for storing sundries.
Suddenly, Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to look. There was a small bundle of needlework on a table. The color was dark red, and it seemed that it had been dyed for a long time.
"This should be one of the materials used to sew the sachet on Qin Xiaoyu's body." Qin Ming said after looking at it for a while.
After staying for a while, I found that there was nothing special, so I left and went to the next room.
There are many rooms in this house, and Qin Ming cannot expand the ghost realm, so he can only explore them one by one.
Arriving at the next room, Qin Ming's pupils shrank slightly as soon as he opened the door.
He saw two half-human-tall paper figures standing inside, with heavy makeup on them, giving off a strange atmosphere.
In the corner of the room stood an earthen jar, covered with a red cloth and tied with a rope.
"This is...a flute?"
Qin Ming saw a flute placed on the shelf. It was bright in color and as smooth and clear as jade.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ming went to take down the flute.
Qin Ming felt it was strange when he first bought it, like jade, but not like it.
After looking at it for a while, Qin Ming saw what it was made of.
"This flute should be made of human bones, probably leg bones."
A bone flute.
"It should also be a supernatural item, with unknown effects and unknown costs."
He moved his eyes away from the bone flute and looked at a drum placed on the shrine. It was dark green with some stripes, which was extremely strange.
"If you guessed it right, this is also a supernatural item. Qin Xiaoyu's grandparents are quite rich." Qin Ming said in amazement.
