Chapter 31: A House of Great Haunting, Ghosts Raging "Master Zhang, the master is in this room. Since he was possessed by evil spirits, no one except me and the first lady dared to go in. Previously, a little maid went to deliver food and was almost strangled to death by the master..." After looking at the Taiyue Sword, Butler Zhou brought Zhang Jiuyang to the main room. I saw all kinds of talismans pasted on the door, and it was locked. "The master has been crazy since he was possessed by evil spirits. If the door is not locked, I'm afraid he will run away by himself..." Butler Zhou explained as he unlocked the door. When I opened the door, a foul smell hit me in the face. It didn't feel like a main room at all, but rather like a toilet. Zhang Jiuyang subconsciously covered his nose. "Master Zhang, please bear with me. The master stays alone in the house. He eats, drinks, defecates and urinates here. Since he was possessed by evil spirits, he has been like a lost soul..." Zhang Jiuyang walked into the room and saw that all the windows were closed and it was very dark.

There was feces and urine on the ground, and it emitted a nauseating odor. A fat man who looked to be in his forties or fifties was sitting in a dark corner, staring blankly at himself in the bronze mirror. His eyes were dull, his eyes were heavy with bags under his eyes, his face was haggard, and he looked as if he hadn't slept for a long time. Butler Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The master was pretty good today. At least he sat quietly by himself and didn't make any noise." "Are you sure... it's a person?" At this moment, Zhang Jiuyang looked at Master Zhou. Even though he had experienced several ghost stories, he couldn't help but feel a chill and his scalp tingling. one two three four five six seven…… In Zhang Jiuyang's eyes, in addition to Master Zhou, there were 31 figures in the main room. They were men and women, old and young, and even a baby. The next moment, Mr. Zhou slowly raised his head. Behind him, the thirty-one figures also raised their heads, revealing charred faces like evil spirits, and thirty-one resentful eyes were fixed firmly on Zhang Jiuyang. In an instant, the evil energy was rampant. Ah Li was startled and said, "There are so many ghosts!" Although each of the thirty-one evil spirits is not very strong, when they are united, they are a force that cannot be underestimated. "Get out!" "Damn Taoist priest, do you want to die?" "I'm going to burn you to ashes!" The wind in the field was blowing violently, and Zhang Jiuyang saw black smoke coming out of their bodies. Their skin turned red like charcoal, as if they were burned by a raging fire. Butler Zhou could not see all this. He just felt that the surroundings seemed to have become particularly depressing and a little suffocating. "Little black charcoals, don't scold my ninth brother!"

Ali showed her little fangs, her white skirt fluttered, and she exuded a strong yin energy. Zhang Jiuyang grabbed her pigtail, coughed and laughed, "Sorry to bother you." He turned around and left with A Li, and went to a secluded place with Butler Zhou. "Master Zhang, could it be that even you..." Butler Zhou looked at his serious and solemn face and couldn't help feeling uneasy again. If even Master Zhang can't handle it, he can only go to find Monk Nengren of the Jinshen Temple. Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that you can't watch it, but you have to answer a question for me honestly first. If you don't tell me the truth, I will turn around and leave, and never care about this matter again!" Butler Zhou said quickly: "Ask me anything, I will tell you everything I know!" "Okay, let me ask you, was this house...the Zhou residence in the past?" Hearing this, Butler Zhou was startled, then shook his head and said, "Of course not. To be honest, my master used to be a businessman in the capital, but later he ran into some trouble, so he came to Qingzhou City to settle down." "This house seemed to have been bought by a... man named Lu. Later, when that man died, it was sold to the government. My master liked this house, and he was anxious to find a place to live with his family, so he paid for it." After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Master Zhang, do you mean... this is a haunted house?" Zhang Jiuyang was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions. When he saw the thirty-one evil ghosts with charred faces, he vaguely realized that something was wrong. He didn't expect that this Zhou Mansion was actually Lu Yaoxing's home! Lao Gao once said that Lu Yaoxing moved his family to Qingzhou City, but something went wrong at his son's full-month banquet, and all 32 members of the family were burned to death. I guess the baby in the cradle is Lu Yaoxing’s son who just turned one month old! But there was one thing that was very strange. Zhang Jiuyang had seen Lu Yaoxing in Yunniang's memory, but Lu Yaoxing was not among the thirty-one ghost shadows just now. Could it be that Lu Yaoxing is not dead? "These damned officials actually dared to sell us a haunted house!" Butler Zhou was very angry. It goes without saying that this haunted house would definitely not be sold locally, and they took advantage of the fact that they were outsiders who didn't understand the situation, and Mr. Zhou was anxious to settle down, so they fell into their trap! "Master Zhang, please help me!" Zhang Jiuyang hesitated. Before he refined the magic sword to slay ghosts, he didn't want to get involved in this mess. After all, the Yunniang case was suspected to involve a murderer who was proficient in the evil art of raising ghosts. But if he doesn't care now, he won't be able to get the Taiyue Sword, and he won't be able to refine the magic sword to kill ghosts. Moreover, Mr. Zhou was cheated. What the Qingzhou government did was indeed not fair. In fact, Zhang Jiuyang also has the ability to steal the Taiyue Sword and then leave Qingzhou City and stay out of it, but doing so goes against his principles. Take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. No matter what, you have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, think of other ways. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Jiuyang made a decision. "Butler Zhou, this is not a simple matter. I have two more requests. If you agree, I will do my best to help."

"You say!" "First, you have to pay extra money, 100 taels of gold." Butler Zhou was stunned, then immediately nodded and said, "No problem!" "Second, give me the Taiyue Sword. I might need it later." Hearing this, Butler Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed. Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I will do my best to fight the thirty-one evil spirits in this house!" “Kill, kill, kill! Kill from the South Heaven Gate to the High Heaven Palace. I will kill until blood flows like a river!” Ali made a ferocious expression, but her delicate and pretty face made her look a little fierce no matter how you looked at her. …… Boom boom boom! Not long after, Zhang Jiuyang knocked on the door again and came in, holding a long sword with a scabbard in his hand. The golden tassel fluttered slightly, and the white jade inlaid on the hilt shone in the sun. The ghosts looked up at him, and thirty-one resentful gazes locked onto him again, more violent than last time. Their skin became hot and red, and black smoke came out of their bodies, as if they would explode at any moment. Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly. "Everyone, this much anger, it can't be kidney deficiency." "That someone is you, stop looking." Zhang Jiuyang pointed the charcoal-black child in the cradle with the hilt of his sword and said loudly, "Come and fight me if you dare!" …… (End of this chapter)
