The clues to the Ping An Building were handed over to Yan Shouyi and the others.
The reason is as mentioned before. It is not convenient for Xia Zhi and others to investigate, and the reasons are not legitimate enough. Instead, "enthusiastic citizens" like Yan Shouyi can conduct in-depth investigations.
Xia Zhi's colleagues can provide convenience to Yan Shouyi in some aspects, but correspondingly, if something unexpected happens to Yan Shouyi during the investigation, it has nothing to do with Xia Zhi and the others. This is purely Yan Shouyi's fault. Behavior.
When leaving the prison, Yan Shouyi looked back and took a deep look. Although this was not the place where his father was imprisoned, Yan Shouyi could not help but think of his father when he saw things and missed people.
Grandpa is gone, and his father is Yan Shouyi's only relative, and this relative has been in prison for ten years and has suffered a lot.
Fortunately, in less than a month, my father will be released from prison and the family will be reunited.
After clearing up their mood, a few people found a roadside stall nearby and chatted about the Ping An Building while eating.
In Jianzhou Province, the farther you go to the southeast, the sweeter the taste, and the farther you go to the northwest, the spicier the taste. However, Rongcheng is just southeast of Jianzhou, so the taste is sweeter.
Rongcheng Lychee Pork is the most representative Rongcheng dish.
However, what Yan Shouyi and the others were eating at this time was not lychee meat, but Rongcheng fish balls. Its reputation is no less good than Rongcheng lychee meat, but Rongcheng fish balls are mostly in the form of snacks. If they are in a restaurant , it is generally difficult to see it.
The five of them sat around a roadside stall, eating hot fish balls, and started chatting about Ping An Building.
As soon as Long Feicheng opened his mouth, his mouth was like a machine gun, eloquent and eloquent:
"Speaking of this Ping An Building, there are so many weird and scary stories. However, after my screening, most of them are spread rumors, but there are a few stories that are true and have been recorded. , Officer Xia Zhi must know this better than me, so let me give you a rough outline first, and if there is anything omitted or wrong, please ask Officer Xia Zhi to correct it."
Xia Zhi nodded.
"Ever since the construction of the Ping An Building, strange things have happened on the construction site. The Ping An Building was built in the 1990s. During the construction phase, one or two people died every month on average, and there were no ghosts or crazy workers on the construction site. Don't go out. In those days, human life was not as valuable as it is now, so the matter was not too big. But later I heard that one time, a worker dug up the body of a child on the construction site and was infected with corpse gas. That day He turned into a zombie at night and bit several coworkers in the same dormitory to death. In the end, the troops were dispatched and burned them to death with flamethrowers."
“After the building was built, the first one to move in was a publishing house called Ping An Evening News. After the employees of the publishing house moved into the building, strange things happened frequently. For example, a female employee who got off work late fell to her death in the elevator; Brothers killed each other; a female employee in the 810 Office was raped and then killed by her boss; another employee found the body of an unknown woman in red on the rooftop; at night, the sound of children playing in the corridor could be heard, as if they were playing a game of throwing handkerchiefs …”
"What I've said is just the tip of the iceberg of Ping'an Building. There are endless weird and scary things in this building that could last for days and nights. All in all, this building has become a paradise for ghosts and living creatures. People simply don’t dare to enter. The locals in Rongcheng are frightened by the news about Ping An Building, and residents living nearby will deliberately bypass Ping An Building when walking at night.”
When Long Feicheng said this, his mouth felt extremely dry, so he picked up the bowl and took a sip of fish ball soup, preparing to continue talking.
At this time, Yan Shouyi interrupted him: "Is there no one living in Ping An Building now?"
"After all, Ping An Building is located in a prime location, and it was also the most expensive building at that time. Therefore, even if a lot of strange things happened, there were still bold people living in it. But in the end, there was something that made everyone avoid Ping An Building. , happened in 2001," Long Feicheng wiped his mouth and said, "In 2001, strange things happened frequently in Ping An Building. Ping An Evening News was removed, and the building was changed from a commercial building to a low-cost residential building. Some people had just graduated. Or people who come from the countryside to the city to make a living will choose to live in it because of its extremely low price. And because of the reputation of Ping An Building, the entire building cannot recruit real estate personnel, resulting in a very poor environment and aging of the building. It was in disrepair and all the equipment was not maintained, so less than half a year after the Ping An Evening News was withdrawn, a large fire broke out in the Ping An Building!"
"The fire caused more than 200 people in the building to be burned alive. Some people could not bear the pain of being burned by the fire and chose to jump off the building to end their lives! This incident was a big deal back then. When it happened, My master took me to the scene. The whole building was engulfed in flames. The people upstairs desperately shouted for help, and then jumped down one after another... After that incident, some survivors recalled that they were Many figures were seen in the fire, and some even saw figures in the fire dragging their companions in. According to rumors, the victims who were burned to death became scapegoats for the souls in the building! Since then, Ping An Building has completely become a ghost building. No matter how low its price is, no one dares to live in it. Those beggars who wander outside would rather sleep on park benches than spend the night in Ping An Building."
"Of course, the municipal government has not thought about remediation. After all, the location of Ping'an Building is a prime location in Rongcheng. Even if it is really haunted, they must find a way to take down the building. I heard that they have invited many mages to come there one after another. Without exception, all the mages died suddenly. Some of those who said they wanted to go into the building to find out what happened never returned, and no one dared to go into the building to find their bodies! After several times in a row, the ones above People are also afraid of taking responsibility, so they leave the Ping An Building there idle and never dare to touch it. So after so many years, Rongcheng has developed rapidly, and the East Street area has become a technology and financial center, but However, Ping An Building still maintains its appearance in the 1990s, as if an ugly duckling was put into a group of white swans. It looks very abrupt, but there is nothing that can be done about it."
After listening to what Long Feicheng said, Yan Shou already had an idea of this building.
Long Feicheng quickly ate up the fish balls in the bowl and drank the soup in one breath. Then he held the bowl and said to the boss: "Boss, have another bowl of fish balls, put more fish balls, put more soup, more Add some cilantro and vinegar!”
The boss in an apron said helplessly: "Handsome guy, why don't you just order two bowls?"
"Boss, when doing business, you can't focus on immediate profits. You must understand the principle of long-term success!"
"..."
While Long Feicheng was arguing with his boss, Yan Shouyi asked the others, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Xia Zhi spoke first and said: "The basic situation is similar to what Xiaolong said. After the fire, the survivors' confessions were surprisingly consistent, so it is basically certain that the fire that year was not an ordinary fire. Also, what happened after that? The dead mage and Mr. Yin Yang are also real. Even after the fire, some bosses who did not believe in evil took over the building and planned to redevelop it. Strange things happened in the homes of those bosses. Either their relatives died or the boss went crazy. I'm so stupid. Otherwise, even if Ping An Building is such a piece of cake, even if it is haunted, there will still be people who are brave enough to take it."
Yan Shouyi looked at Lin Zitong again: "Smelly girl, what about you?"
"I don't know much about Ping An Building, but there is one thing that Officer Xia Zhi said wrong. Not all the owners of Ping An Building were in trouble. Now Ping An Building is the property of our Lin family."
Lin Zitong's words surprised everyone.
The Lin family must be crazy. How could the Lin family have the courage to accept such a terrifying haunted building that others avoid.
After taking over the haunted building, didn't anything happen to the Lin family?
Although no one asked, the expressions on their faces said everything.
Lin Zitong knew what everyone's doubts were, so he didn't show off and explained openly:
"I am a member of the Lushan sect, and the Lushan sect is a local sect in Rongcheng. Of course, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to a place like Ping An Building, so my master asked our Lin family to acquire the Ping An Building and seal it up. No outsiders are allowed in. The reason why nothing happened is because of an idea from my master - although it was our Lin family who acquired Ping An Building, we found someone else to be its real manager. As far as I know, the person who owns Ping An Building is The owner seems to be a partner of our Lin family, named Meng."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng couldn't help being stunned. Long Feicheng quickly asked: "Is it Meng Guoguo?"
"How do you know?" Lin Zitong was a little surprised.
Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng looked at each other and found that there was another connection between these things.
If the Ping An Building is an asset in the name of the Bangladesh Congress, and after the exorcists took control of Zhou Mingyuan's body to kill Wei Ge, they captured Wei Ge's soul in the Ping An Building, then the core of everything seems to lie in this building. On to Ping An Building!
It seems that all of this can only be understood and understood after arriving at Ping An Building.
Yan Shouyi told everyone the story about them and Meng Guoguo. After everyone listened, they all sighed and sighed at the poignant love between man and monster.
Especially Lin Zitong, she looked at Yan Shouyi and said softly: "It turns out that you were stimulated by the fox demon to enlighten you."
Yan Shouyi smiled sheepishly: "There is some relationship."
Lin Zitong snorted softly and felt inexplicably better.
The fox demon didn't want to wait any longer and just wanted to spend this life with Meng Guo, so Yan Shouyi thought the same.
Lu Caiwei asked: "Wait a minute, Zitong, you just said that your Lin family gave the Ping An Building to the Meng Guoguo, so why didn't anything happen to the Meng Guoguo?"
"Did something happen to him?" Xia Zhi was also confused, "Didn't the exorcists take revenge on him?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head: "These are two different things. If something happened to the previous owner of the building, it was purely a revenge by the ghost, but if something happened to Meng Guoguo, it was a man-made disaster. This is different."
Lin Zitong also explained: "The Lushan sect gave Meng Guo an amulet to protect him from revenge by the ghosts in the Ping An Building, so nothing happened to him, but the matter of the fox demon and the corpse chaser was indeed beyond my expectation. outside."
"That's it." Everyone suddenly understood.
Yan Shou drank all the fish ball soup in the bowl, stood up and said, "We almost understand it now. Let's go back and make preparations. Let's pick a time and go to Ping'an Building to find out!"
Neither Lin Zitong nor Xia Zhi objected. Instead, they seemed confident about exploring the Ping An Building.
But Long Feicheng and Lu Caiwei didn't think so. They just heard about Wei Ge's death and already didn't want to get involved. Now, what's the difference between letting them go to the haunted building again and letting them die? the difference?
Lin Zitong deliberately laughed and said: "Caiwei, don't you usually say that you are so courageous that you can watch ghost movies without blinking an eye? Are you insisting on making me take you to catch ghosts?"
Yan Shouyi also patted Long Feicheng on the shoulder: "You want to learn magic from me, but you don't dare to face ghosts directly. What's the use of learning it?"
The two were speechless, but their fates were different. Lu Caiwei was a girl. She didn't want to enter Ping An Building, and no one could force her.
But Long Feicheng was different. He wanted to learn magic from Yan Shouyi, and Chen Dawei specifically told Long Feicheng that he must try his best to help Yan Shouyi so that he could become rich in the future.
So even though he was equally scared, Long Feicheng gritted his teeth and agreed.
Yan Shou counted the days and said: "In three days, the yang energy will be strong. When we enter the Ping An Building, the yang energy will slightly reduce the yin energy, making the ghosts in poor condition. Then we will enter the building to find out. !”
…
In the next three days, Yan Shouyi made a special trip to Lao Jin and bought genuine turmeric talisman paper and cinnabar talisman ink from him to use for drawing talismans.
Not only that, he also asked Long Feicheng to get some more black dog blood and chicken blood.
Needless to say, black dog blood, chicken blood is actually also effective on some imps, but not all chicken blood will work, but the kind of black-footed rooster.
This kind of chicken has the most yang energy. Just crowing can scare away little ghosts, and their blood can even hurt evil spirits.
So in the past three days, Long Feicheng visited some urban villages near Shanghang Art School and prepared five kilograms of black dog blood and five kilograms of chicken blood. He also specially bought a few handsome water guns to pour the blood into them. Go in, looking like you're going to a battlefield.
While Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng were busy working, Lin Zitong was not idle either.
She returned to the Lushan sect and asked her master Lu Jingsheng for a lot of magic weapons. But when Lu Jingsheng asked what she was going to do, Lin Zitong kept silent, which made Lu Jingsheng very angry. .
But this strong female eldest lady had her own ideas, so Lu Jingsheng had no choice but to give Lin Zitong all the powerful magic weapons he had collected, and then let Lin Zitong go.
The winter solstice is the day of Renwu in the month of Yihai in the Jiawu year. The three-day period finally arrived.
At the end of the day, when the yang energy was at its strongest, Yan Shouyi, Lin Zitong, Long Feicheng, and Xia Zhi drove to the outside of the weird Ping An Building in the most prosperous city center of Rongcheng...
