It all started a week ago when excavation and pile driving began in Area D of the construction site.
It was a cloudy afternoon.
In Chongqing in late September, the summer heat has not completely subsided, but the temperature was very low that day.
The cold wind howled and was chilly.
But the construction site is still in full swing.
After all, Zhao Bohua is a conscientious boss. Not only do they pay their workers well, but they also provide accommodation and three meals a day on the construction site...
What I didn't expect was that the foundation of this building in District D would not survive!
The workers tried to drive hard, but the steel sheet piles were already deformed, but it still didn't work.
The construction experts present did some research and found that the geological conditions in this area were normal and there were no problems - there were neither hard rock formations nor complex geological structures - which had been repeatedly checked before the start of construction.
But the fact is before us, this foundation cannot be laid!
Lao Yan, the foreman in charge of this area, did not believe in evil and led a dozen strong workers directly down to the foundation pit, preparing to dig a distance manually to see what was underneath.
Not long after digging, blood oozed out like a fountain from the soil, and some disgusting venomous snakes and insects emerged from the blood, seeking to devour people!
Lao Yan and a dozen workers were so frightened that they fled away screaming.
But the strange thing is that the people watching nearby saw nothing - only Lao Yan and a dozen workers screaming and jumping around like crazy.
So, another foreman and other workers went down to give it a try.
Similar results occurred!
After doing this, no one will dare to deal with the foundation of Area D again. The matter was reported to Zhao Bohua.
He was a graduate of a key university, and his cultural level was relatively high among the industrial bosses at the beginning of the new century.
So Zhao Bohua's first reaction was: Are there some hallucinogenic minerals around?
He used his personal connections to find people from the Chongqing Institute of Geology and conducted repeated inspections of Area D of the construction site to confirm that there were no hallucinogenic or radioactive minerals.
As for whether it could be caused by plants?
There is no grass left around!
The matter could not be resolved, and in desperation, Zhao Bohua could only ask the workers in District D to temporarily stop work. At the same time, people at the entire construction site became anxious...
As a result, something strange happened again the next night!
The workers' dormitory is located in the northeast corner of the construction site and is a large stretch of simple iron houses. On the left is the D area divided into the construction site, and on the right is the street outside.
Late at night, two workers couldn't sleep. When I feel the room is stuffy, I get up and take a walk.
It turned out that there was actually an old woman setting up a stall not far away selling midnight snacks!
From a long distance, you can smell the fragrance wafting out.
They suddenly felt a little hungry, so they hurried over to see what there was to eat.
They didn't think much about it. After all, the construction site was in the downtown area. Moreover, the area on the right side of the construction site, close to the street, is not too tightly closed.
Sometimes, it's not uncommon for some vendors to come in and sell something - of course it's the first time that they set up a late-night snack stall so late at night.
"Old man, bring me a bowl of red oil for cooking." - that is, wontons.
"Then I'll have two skewers of fried tenderloin."
The old woman nodded expressionlessly. After preparing the food, she handed it to the two workers.
After they ate it, they thought it tasted pretty good and added another serving.
After eating until my mouth was full of oil, I went back to the dormitory to sleep contentedly.
As a result, when everyone got up in the morning, they found that they were not awake yet!
The co-workers are very strange.
I wanted to wake them up, but found them huddled up on the bed, pale and trembling. Looks like he's sick!
A certain foreman had the courage to step forward and shake them awake.
As a result, as soon as the two people woke up, they immediately lay on the edge of the bed and started vomiting...
When everyone saw the puddle of things they vomited out, they were all shocked!
They are all bugs, mud and gravel, dead mice, dead branches and leaves, toads... and other things that make people feel queasy just by looking at them.
After vomiting, I took a long time to relax.
After everyone asked, they found out that they bought a late-night snack from an old woman's stall last night. They all felt like they were seeing a ghost!
After all, there are legends about "ghost shops" circulating in some places...
At this moment, an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the construction site!
The foundation cannot be laid, and manual inspections will produce terrifying hallucinations. When workers get up at night, they encounter a "ghost shop"... All kinds of supernatural and strange things are superimposed, making people panic.
Zhao Bohua had no choice but to ask everyone to stop working for three days to rest. He had never believed in ghosts and spirits, so he could only quickly ask for help in his circle of contacts - was there any truly wise person who could help solve the problem?
So, I found Niu Bi to come here...
After listening to Zhao Bohua's account of the causes and consequences, I frowned.
"A ghost opens a shop... This is not uncommon. But the problem is that it is actually unusual for people to eat it!"
Niu Bi quickly agreed.
"Good advice, Brother Wu! Indeed, under normal circumstances, sneaky people use food as a cover-up. Most people can actually tell that something is wrong before they eat it. But hearing this, the two of them still ate two I didn't even notice it after I came back. This means that this sneakiness must be a bit righteous."
"yes……"
I nodded and looked around.
"Old Niu, from the previous layout of Li Fang's office, it can be seen that you are also really proficient in Feng Shui! I'm afraid your skills are even higher than yours. Let's go to Area D to see the situation first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, little brother Wu!"
Niu Bi said with a smile.
So, a group of us walked towards Area D of the construction site where we had previously said that the foundation could not be laid and caused collective hallucinations for many people.
Zhao Bohua seemed to have noticed it, and Niu Bi seemed to follow my lead.
I guess this real estate boss is also murmuring in his heart: Didn't I say that Master Niu is very powerful? Why do you respect a young man so much?
Got to the place.
The surrounding area has been cleared.
Only a little further away, many workers gathered together, looking at us from a distance, pointing, whispering and discussing. Seems very curious.
The entire construction site is very large, surrounded by two hills to the west and north, and bustling streets to the east and south.
I saw it right away!
This situation should be a typical "earth and wealth clashing with Yang" - a good pattern of wealth accumulation.
The two streets are bustling and crowded.
Living people themselves carry an active Yang Qi magnetic field, and because the southeast wind usually blows here.
The wind drives the "popularity" surging forward, and when it is blocked by two hills, it can be deposited in this place. The hills themselves have a calm Kun potential, which can well neutralize the impurities and restlessness in "popularity".
And because Zhao Bohua's land is a large comprehensive community with shopping malls, office buildings, and residential quarters. So he also built an artificial small lake at the central intersection of the three functional areas!
Although it is small, it increases the concentration of water vapor.
Wind disperses Qi and water gathers Qi.
Only when there is wind and water can there be a beginning and an end. With the cooperation of the mountains, a complete Feng Shui cycle is formed.
Obviously, Niu Bi also saw it.
He said.
"Brother Wu, is this a Feng Shui pattern where earth and wealth are in harmony with Yang? It seems that the location is pretty good. It's not a dangerous place."
"Well, you're right."
I nodded.
He looked at Zhao Bohua again.
"It seems that before you decided to develop this place, Boss Zhao, you should have visited other Feng Shui masters, right?"
Zhao Bohua immediately gave us a thumbs up.
"High! Master Niu, Brother Wu, it is indeed high. I asked Mr. Fang to help me look at the land. He also said that this place is called Land and Fortune Chongyang, and it will definitely develop well in the future."
Then he quickly added another sentence as if he was afraid that Niu Bi would be unhappy.
"After all, Master Niu, you are mainly famous for catching ghosts and eliminating demons in our business circle in Chongqing City. So for Feng Shui, I asked Mr. Fang, who specializes in Feng Shui. Don't blame me. "
Niu Bi said "Hey".
"Boss Zhao, don't worry too much. I'm not a stingy person. I've also heard of Fang Laoer's name. He has some skills in Feng Shui."
Since there is no problem with Feng Shui, there must be something evil at work...
I spoke.
"Let's go down to the shallow pit in the foundation and have a look. I'm curious, will we hallucinate blood spurting out and snakes and insects crawling around?"
So Niu Bi and I went down the ladder into the pit.
Zhao Bohua, along with several of his closest associates, a group of company management, and the foreman on the construction site, all stood on the edge of the foundation pit and looked at us nervously.
Madoka, the fat bird, also left my shoulder and hovered at low altitude above the foundation pit - euphemistically called helping us to sweep the formation and monitor.
I am joking.
"This is good. You are getting fatter and fatter. Even if I have advanced boxing skills and strong physical fitness, your dozens of kilograms of meat will be quite heavy on my shoulders."
"Nonsense! I have a strong body, you know nothing."
Madoka retorted dissatisfied.
Niubi and I walked towards the center of the foundation pit - there were some traces of soil turned over by shovels, which should have been left by the two groups of workers who tried to dig the soil a few days ago.
"Boss Zhao, throw down two shovels."
I looked up and shouted.
"Okay, little brother Wu."
Zhao Bohua quickly asked someone to throw two shovels down from above - I caught them firmly in my hands, then handed them to Niu Bi, and began to try to dig down.
really!
As soon as I dug, I felt a strange force coming from under the soil. With a stale, gloomy, cold atmosphere.
It's like a snake sliding into the neck, making people feel uncomfortable and a little creepy!
The scene in front of him was distorted - even the shovel in his hand seemed to be bent. The surroundings began to become blurry, as if covered with a layer of frosted glass...
"There is indeed something wrong with this foundation pit! And it's quite powerful. Can even I be affected?"
I was slightly surprised.
At this time, Niu Bi next to him shouted.
"Damn! This deception is a bit powerful. It's too real, even though I know it's all fake. Brother Wu, I feel like I can't hold it anymore. We have to prepare to put on the spell together, right..."
While he was speaking, he was already sealing the spells with his right hand and taking out the talisman paper from his pocket with his left hand.
"It's okay, don't worry. Leave it to me."
I said calmly, and my Dantian suddenly vibrated.
A stream of pure Qi instantly flowed out along the meridians, igniting a charm in my hand.
I slapped the ground hard.
Huh...boom!
A fireball as big as a man's head exploded at the bottom of the pit, with sparks scattered and the fire glowing red.
Like a ball of fireworks.
I heard a cry of surprise from those watching on the upper edge of the surrounding foundation pit.
In an instant, the stale, gloomy, and cold atmosphere was instantly dispelled. The distorted and blurred scenes before my eyes have returned to normal!
Niu Bi also shook his head vigorously, and his eyes, which had been a little empty just now, regained their clarity.
Looking at me with lingering fear.
"Brother Wu, this damn thing is really powerful. If I didn't use any spells and relied on my own Qi to resist, I would have been almost confused. Let alone those ordinary workers. There is absolutely no way."
I nodded.
"It's true. However, I just used a spell to completely dispel the remaining power here."
oh?
Niu Bi's face showed surprise.
"In other words, there is no problem with this foundation pit, right?"
I shrugged noncommittally.
"I'm not completely sure yet...but let's try to get a few workers to dig it out first. I suspect that the problem still lies in the ground. Let's see if we can dig out anything."
If we really want to start doing simple physical work, Niubi and I can't do it ourselves, right?
So Niu Bi shouted a few words above to explain the situation clearly.
The managers and foremen around me were in awe of my ability to turn a spell into a fireball and then explode into flames and sparks. But I'm still a little scared if I really want to come down and try it.
In the end, Zhao Bohua himself took the lead and said he would come down and dig the soil with a shovel.
Now, the managers and foremen who had been shrinking just now started to take courage again!
It’s really a reality…
Finally, Zhao Bohua personally ordered a dozen people and went down to the bottom of the pit with a shovel.
When I looked at this real estate company boss, I felt a little more favorable towards him - not to mention, he was quite decisive in his work!
So I said it with a smile.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhao. It's just an illusion. No matter how real it is, it won't really hurt your body. What's more, Lao Niu and I are still next to you."
"Haha! Brother Wu and Master Niu are here, I am definitely relieved."
Zhao Bohua rolled up his sleeves and shouted.
"Brothers, dig with me! Once this matter is resolved and the project is completed, I will give everyone more bonuses."
"Okay boss."
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely not lose our temper."
"Just follow the boss and that's it!"
More than a dozen workers gathered around...
I thought to myself, no wonder such evil and horrific things have happened on this construction site, and there are not many workers who really quit carrying buckets and ran away.
People who can achieve such a huge undertaking are indeed not ordinary people!
Regardless of whether he is trying to win people's hearts or is really heroic, the fact that he is a pioneer and mingling with the workers is enough to explain the problem.
They started digging, and Niubi and I were watching.
really!
Now, when they dug down, everything was normal. There were no more horrific visions like before and just now.
Niu Bi asked me in a low voice.
"Brother Wu, that aura just now... must be sneaky, right?"
"Well, 80% yes! And the matter about the foundation pit must be related to the ghost meal eaten by two workers at night. Being able to set up a stall like normal people and letting people eat without them noticing. Most likely. A powerful old ghost, of course, has a small chance of being a very powerful monster. But I don’t think so, and there is no need for monsters to stay in big cities. As for zombies, they won’t behave like this.”
The three most common evil spirits are corpses, ghosts, and demons.
Digging and digging...
clang!
A metallic trill.
"I, I think I dug something!"
One of the workers shouted excitedly.
Niu Bi and I looked at each other and hurried over.
The workers all made way for us.
Zhao Bohua had already dug a few times along the place where the worker had dug, revealing a dark thing. It looks quite shiny in the soil.
I could tell at a glance...it should be a human thigh bone!
Niu Bi and Zhao Bohua also saw it.
The latter took a breath and said in surprise.
"Human bones? There are actually human bones buried in the soil under this foundation. Could it be that there was some murder?"
He looked a little worried.
If a criminal committed a murder and buried the body here. When the police arrive and investigate, the media will definitely spread the news.
This matter cannot be hidden 100%!
So in the future, the sales and prices of the residences built here - at least one building on this foundation will definitely be affected.
I said calmly.
"It's unclear whether it was a homicide...but Boss Zhao, you don't have to worry too much, because this skeleton must be very old. At least several decades or even hundreds of years."
What? !
Zhao Bohua and the surrounding workers were shocked.
I didn’t expect it to be human bones from so long ago…
Niu Bi smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Boss Zhao, think about it. The sound the bone made when it collided with the shovel just now was like gold and iron. It's obviously not an ordinary bone. I'm afraid it's a bit strange. After you dig it out quickly, get out of the way."
"Master Niu is right! Brothers, work harder and dig it out quickly."
So, a dozen workers worked together and soon dug out various scattered bones from the deeper soil. piled together.
Parts such as leg bones, arm bones, ribs, and skull can be clearly seen.
All are dark and shiny!
Seems a little weird.
The rest of the people dispersed, leaving Niubi and I observing the pile of bones. At this time, Madoka also landed from the sky and stood on my shoulder again.
Niu Bi tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then squatted down to look over and knock at it with a shovel.
"Old Niu, do you see what's going on?"
I asked.
He stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"These bones have undergone qualitative changes and are as hard as stone. And I just fired a ray of Qi to test it, and it actually bounced off! It's really strange. I remember that when my master was still alive, he told me something ...It is said that since everything in the world has the opportunity to become a demon, then in extreme cases, why can't the corpses? The corpses become demons and have spiritual intelligence. Is this..."
Before I could answer, Madoka who was standing on my shoulder inserted his mouth and said.
"You big guy, don't make blind guesses. This thing is definitely not a bone demon! You can't even imagine how powerful the bone demon is. The three of us tied together may not be enough for someone to fight with one hand. And if it is a bone monster, the monster is not afraid of the sun and would have attacked violently by now. Can we still put it on the ground piece by piece for study?"
Niu Bishan smiled and scratched his head.
"Brother Yuan said yes, shouldn't I just take a guess?"
I rolled my eyes at Madoka.
"You stupid bird seems to understand very well, so what do you mean?"
it answered triumphantly.
"Judging from my fiery eyes, this thing should be a bone spirit."
Bone spirit?
Niu Bi was slightly startled. He had obviously never heard of this.
I nodded slightly - this stupid bird was exactly what I guessed!
However, I also heard her talk about it when I was chatting with Master.
Bone spirits are actually a very special kind of sneakiness.
Although the proportion of people with spiritual talents is very small, the population base is large after all, and people are born all the time. So the absolute number is still quite a lot...
But not everyone who has the talent for cultivation will be able to activate their talent in this life. Embark on the path of spiritual practice.
Most people, in fact, live their lives just like ordinary people.
However, people with spiritual talents are still a little different after all. The soul is far stronger and stronger than ordinary people!
Even if you have not embarked on the path of spiritual practice, if you have any obsessions or resentments, you will be more likely to turn into a ghost after death.
If the obsession is strong enough, and the ghost it turns into is powerful enough, it will gradually form some kind of connection with the skeleton formed by the original body.
If a ghost lingers near one's own bones for a long time, and then actively and deliberately uses Yin Qi to nourish it... after a few decades or more, the bones will change.
Not only will it not decay, but the bones will even become as hard as iron stone.
At this time, the level of sneakiness will increase!
After all, things like ghosts are still transformed into souls and are essentially spiritual bodies. Even if one has advanced cultivation and can affect the entity, it is still an illusory thing after all...
But if it can be attached to its own skeleton, then the two can be combined to exert even greater power.
Not only can it be used as a weapon, it can also be instantly returned to the skeleton from a long distance - equivalent to a one-way teleportation array. This is a life-saving method!
Therefore, most bone spirits are more difficult to deal with than ordinary sneaks of the same level!
Of course, this time I didn’t disturb Madoka’s interest in showing off. He didn't interrupt it and waited for it to proudly tell Niu Bi about the situation of the "Bone Spirit".
"I see!"
Niu Bi suddenly realized.
"So... this alienated skeleton probably belongs to the old woman who sells midnight snacks? She is a bone spirit!"
"Yes, Lao Niu is quite smart."
I smiled and praised.
The fat man was so happy that he scratched his head.
"But, there seems to be a strange question... Bone spirits generally take the initiative to hide their bones in a safe place after completing cultivation in order to protect their own bones. Why, that old woman's bone spirit would let her own bones go unused, just like that What if it has been buried in a place like a construction site? It will definitely be dug out."
I frowned, a little confused.
"Yeah, this is a bit abnormal."
Madoka, the fat guy, also reacted.
