The rusty door was slowly pushed open.
Li Changan stepped into the room with one hand behind his back.
Suddenly, gloomy cries echoed in the room.
"You are so cruel."
"I died so miserably."
"Do you want to come with me?"
…………
After a while of ghost crying.
A corpse dressed in white hung from the ceiling, its long tongue swaying gently in the air.
"Ah..." There was a long groan, and the man with only the upper body crawled out from behind the table, his bloody waist dragging a bloody trail on the ground.
A woman with disheveled hair floated in the air. She lifted her hair to reveal a pretty face, but in the blink of an eye, black and red blood came out of her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
…………
Li Changan looked calm, as if he was watching a boring movie.
Several ghosts bared their teeth and claws for a while, but found that it had no effect, so they got together again.
"Boss Wu, it's of no use."
The Shui Da Bang or Boss Wu gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't do it with literature, let's use martial arts."
"But he seems to know magic."
"So what? It's not like we haven't seen monks or Taoists before?"
"But...but." The hanged man who was punched in the face said hurriedly, but unfortunately his tongue did not cooperate and his words were always awkward. "That...is a lie, and this...one is true."
"What are you afraid of? There are so many ghosts among us, how can we defeat one person?"
After saying that, Boss Wu let out an "ouch" and took the lead in rushing towards Li Changan. As he ran, the bloated "fat" on his body kept trembling and shaking out water droplets.
Li Changan calmly revealed the branch hidden behind his back. This branch had slender and flexible branches and long leaves. It was a willow branch he had just broken from downstairs.
As the saying goes, "A willow branch is three inches shorter than a ghost." It means that using a willow branch to defeat a ghost can break up the ghost's form. In reality, using a willow branch to defeat a ghost is certainly not that powerful, but everything will never come out of nowhere...
Li Changan hit Boss Wu on his swollen face.
"Ouch!"
With a sharper voice than when he rushed over, Boss Wu rushed back with his head in his hands.
Although "Willow Branch Fights Ghosts" will not make you three inches shorter, it will be very painful!
Li Changan put a smile on his face, waved the willow branch in his hand, and slowly approached under the horrified eyes of the ghosts.
……………………
"Hold your head and squat down!"
Li Changan waved the willow branches, and several ghosts squatted in a row in the corner with their heads in their hands, aggrievedly.
"One, two, three...seven."
Li Changan counted seven ghosts in total, but when he first entered the door, there were at least ten ghosts in the room.
"Where are your accomplices? Let them come out quickly.",
Li Changan threw the willow branch to the ground, which frightened the ghosts so much that they shrank forward and buried half of their bodies in the wall.
"No, it's just us."
Shui Da Bang replied bravely, and several others also echoed.
"Hey, you ghosts are so loyal? It seems that I won't give you any good looks..." Li Changan felt a little funny in the middle of the sentence. Why does his tone sound like a villain on TV?
"Forget it." He waved his hand and took out a Dragon Chong Jade Talisman from his pocket, "I'll do it myself."
After using the spell, the ghosts could no longer hide in front of Li Changan.
He raised his feet and pulled out a faceless person behind the TV. After walking a few steps, he took out a person with bleeding from all the orifices. He bent down and pulled out a person with a black face from the gap in the cupboard...
Li Chang'an read a joke on the Internet, saying that ghosts are also human beings, and they would not get into the toilet even if they were lowly. However, there is no lowest in the world, only lower.
He looked at the yellowed toilet in front of him faintly, and waved to the hanged man and the water stick behind him.
"You two, pull him out!"
……………………
In rooms 4-4, there are 10 male ghosts, 5 female ghosts and 3 little ghosts.
At this time, they were divided into two rows, with the short ones in front and the tall ones in the back, standing in military postures by the wall. Li Changan found a chair and sat in front of them, thoughtfully. The willow branch in his hand tapped subconsciously on the palm of his hand. Every time he tapped it, the ghosts on the opposite side became frightened.
He rented this house from Liu Zhugan, firstly because the rent was really cheap, and secondly because he was also curious.
Since returning to the modern world, he has never seen a ghost, but he didn't expect that he would be filled with ghosts when he saw one today.
The old Taoist once taught Li Changan a basic method of guiding breathing, but after he tried it in this world, he barely managed to choke him to death.
The spiritual energy in this world is so thin that it is almost nonexistent, and it is filled with all kinds of impurities. You must know that whether it is demons, spirits, ghosts, monsters, Taoism, or alchemy, they all rely on the most basic spiritual energy. Let's talk about Li Chang'an. If the Yellow Shell Book hadn't given him the body of "Tongyou", which can generate mana on his own, after he consumed all the mana he brought back from the ancient world, there would be no way to restore his mana and use spells, because mana itself is transformation. Made of aura.
Therefore, once a person dies in the modern world, if he is attached to the world and does not return to the underworld immediately, he will be like a fish without water, and his soul will be quickly consumed. Even if he has a strong obsession, it will only last a while. .
Therefore, in this environment with thin spiritual energy, so many ghosts can gather in this house, which is like an oasis in the desert, which is particularly conspicuous.
……………………
"How did you get together here?"
The ghosts looked at each other in confusion, and then started shouting in unison, making it difficult to hear clearly.
Li Changan quickly waved his hand and pointed a willow branch at Boss Wu.
"You tell me."
"Why."
Boss Wu yelled reluctantly, glanced at the willow branch in Li Changan's hand, and finally walked out slowly, scratching his head.
"I can't explain clearly. I just remember that after I died, my breath was stuck in my chest and I couldn't let it go. I was floating around the city. I was about to lose my mind. I didn't know why I entered this house. After I came, , the soul did not drift away, but the soul body gradually stabilized, but I found that this house can only be entered but not exited, and I can no longer remember what happened before because my soul has been consumed a lot."
Mr. Wu told the story with a sense of sadness.
After listening to this, Li Changan had a vague answer in his heart, and he asked other ghosts.
"Is this true of all of you?"
The ghosts all nodded.
"Warming and nourishing the soul", "can only enter but not exit".
Li Changan vaguely remembered that the old Taoist once talked about a strange terrain. That kind of terrain is called a "soul-binding place", also called a "ghost cage". It is a natural place for raising ghosts. It has the effect of warming and nourishing the soul, but it can also trap ghosts who accidentally intrude. As time goes by, the ghosts in the "soul-binding place" become more and more crowded, and because they are trapped in a corner for a long time, the ghosts will most likely go crazy and devour each other, raising a ghost king like a poison. At some point, " "The soul-binding place" but could not restrain the ghost king he raised.
In Lao Dao's world, some of the big ghosts who brought trouble to one side escaped from the "soul-binding place".
But Li Changan still felt that something was unreasonable.
He frowned and looked around. The furniture in the room was very old, especially the TV in the living room, which was still a large old-fashioned TV.
He vaguely remembered that the houses in this area were quite old. The buildings in Chunhua Apartment seemed to be nearly 20 years old.
20 years?
Li Changan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Which one of you has stayed the longest?"
The ghosts looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at Boss Wu.
The water stick reluctantly raised his hand.
"Me, about seven years."
"Only seven years? The time doesn't match up!"
If this "soul-binding place" had existed from the beginning, who would have dared to decorate the house when it was first built? No, let alone decoration, it was a question of whether the house could be built or not.
If it was formed later, how was it formed? Natural changes? Or is it due to human power?
Li Changan felt a toothache for a while, and his intuition told him that maybe this was another mistake.
But he quickly put the question behind him.
Compared with this vague and unsolved mystery, the immediate problem of not being able to eat is more urgent.
In the following time, he quickly devoted himself to finding a job.
As for whether there will be any hidden dangers in this house in the future? Let’s talk about it later!
