Zhang Moyang turned around and saluted the diners: "Excuse me, I just heard you say that the house is unclean. Can I ask for the details?"

Seeing that Zhang Moyang was very polite, those people also saluted and said, "You are not locals, so it's normal that you don't know. There is a big house at the foot of Chaisang Mountain here. It is said that it is very well-repaired, but I don't know what happened there. Those who live there will die a bad death in the end.

The people around him obviously knew about the house, and they all started talking about it, "Yes, ten members of the family who built the house died, and then they moved away because they couldn't bear it anymore."

"Later, the house was sold to another family. As a result, people started dying not long after the family moved in. Now the house has been sold five or six times, and hundreds of people have died. General Sun was originally going to ask about this matter. , but caught up with the war, we put it aside temporarily. The people who died here were all wealthy families. Now everyone will feel frightened when they mention that house. "

"Well, how did those people die?" Zhang Xiuyang asked.

"I don't know about that. I heard from the man who handled the corpses that they all died in horrific circumstances. If we asked in detail, he would not say more," one of them replied.

Another person added: "The house was recently sold to another family, and people started dying just three days after moving in."

After chatting with the two people, the food for Song Xin and the other two people was also served. They ate and discussed the matter through messages.

"Brother Mo Yang, do you want to take a look?" Song Xin sent a message.

"Well, there is something weird in this house. As cultivators like us, it is our duty to kill demons and eliminate demons. I want to take a look." Zhang Moyang replied.

"I'm going with you. I didn't expect to encounter such a weird thing when visiting here." Song Xin nodded and said.

"You can go together, but be careful not to act recklessly. Ask around for information first, and it's not too late to enter." Zhang Moyang said.

"That's natural. We all obey our senior brother's orders." Zhang Xiuyang said.

After the three of them finished eating, they were not in the mood to wander around the market anymore, so they asked someone to inquire about the location of the house. When they asked people, everyone looked at them in disbelief. I thought they were sick, yet they still had to go to that terrible house by themselves.

They didn't know if anyone in that family was still alive, so the three of them wanted to ask them first. Finally, I found out the inn where the family lived, went in and asked the store owner, and finally found the family.

"You guys...are you really going to that house?" The male owner of the family turned pale with fright when he heard that Song Xin and the others were going to that horrible house.

"Our two servants and my uncle are all dead inside. You'd better not go there. I don't want to sell my house to harm anyone anymore. Just leave it there and let it be abandoned."

Zhang Moyang said calmly, "Don't worry, just tell us the reason. What happened when you moved in?"

"Sigh... I heard rumors when I bought the house, but I didn't believe it at the time. How could such a nice house be a haunted house? Everything went as usual on the first night, and I thought the rumors were false. Who knew the second day? , I began to have nightmares at night, dreaming about several villains. They were next to my bed, discussing how to eat our whole family. One of them with a white hat said that he would start with the servants at home, and a man with a yellow hat He said that he must eat the master first. The last person with the golden hat said that if he eats the master, the others will run away and they won’t be able to eat, so let’s start with the servants.”

"I woke up and looked at the collapse, and found nothing. I thought it was just a nightmare, so I didn't pay attention. Who knew that when I woke up early the next morning, one of my servants was dead. Not long after I first moved to Jiangnan. The boss couldn't report it to the official, so he was given a funeral. In the following days, another family member died, first an old servant who had been with my family for many years, and then my uncle. Only then did I know that the rumor was very If you don’t, I will move the whole family out.”

"Were they eaten? What happened to the corpses?" Zhang Xiuyang asked.

"I don't understand. The people who died in my family all had grayish-purple complexions. The coroner who did the autopsy said... that they were frightened to death..." The man hesitated.

"Scared to death?" Zhang Moyang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The owner of the house nodded.

"Then after you move out, will anyone die in the family?" Zhang Xiuyang asked.

"That's not the case anymore, but one night, I dreamed of the little man with the golden hat again. He said, 'If you want to run away, it won't be that easy. You must move back within seven days, otherwise I will pester you every day and make you run away." No peace.' I woke up with a start and felt very strange. Even after they moved out, they still came to pester me. Now our family plans to move to Kuaiji in the southeast and stay away from here."

"What do you do with that house? It's not a problem to keep it. If someone accidentally enters it, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate." Zhang Moyang asked.

The man sighed and said, "We don't want to sell it to anyone else anymore, so we're just going to put up a sign to warn others not to get close to the house."

Song Xin and the other three were a little emotional. This man was kind-hearted and unwilling to harm others. He was much better than the man who sold the house to them.

"Can you hand over the key to me? I'll check it out in the next few days. If the problems inside can be solved, you don't have to move." Zhang Moyang said.

"That's natural, but brothers, I see you are all still young, so don't let your imagination run wild. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you." He said hesitantly and took off the two keys. , handed it to Song Xin and the others.

"You have been staying in the inn recently. I have a talisman here. If you stick it on the door and next to the bed, ordinary ghosts will not be able to approach you." After saying that, Zhang Moyang took a few talismans and handed them to the man.

"You little man has stupid eyes, it turns out that these guys are alchemists." The man was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and took the talisman respectfully.

"Well, I'll check it out tonight." Zhang Moyang said.

Several people came out of the inn and found a secluded place to discuss the evening arrangements.

"Listen to what that person said, I'm afraid this is something that turned into a spirit." Zhang Moyang said.

"I don't know what caused it to become a spirit. It would be nice if it was more detailed." Zhang Xiuyang said.

"Brothers, why don't you let me go in and have a look tonight?" Song Xin said.

"Brother Song, don't be ridiculous. How could we let you... By the way, you have the ability to call ghost soldiers, why did I forget." Zhang Xiuyang patted his forehead and said.

Zhang Moyang also thought of this and said, "I will give Brother Song an invisibility charm tonight. Brother Song can go in and investigate, but no matter what you find, you cannot make it public. You must come out and tell me and I will decide how to deal with it later. Otherwise, , I, Zhang Moyang, will never let Brother Song be in danger alone."

"Then...it's settled, no matter what I see, I won't alarm them." Song Xin nodded and said.

Zhang Moyang took out a talisman, folded it into a triangle, then passed a red rope through it and handed it to Song Xin.

"This item is a top-grade spiritual talisman, the 'Invisibility Talisman'. It can not only hide the body, but also suppress the smell on the body and hide the breath of strangers. The effect lasts for three hours. When using it, lick one corner with the tip of your tongue and hang it around your neck. Just go up.”

Song Xin reached out and took it, "Okay, I'll wear it before I go in tonight."
