C43 Old House (1/2)

Listening to ghost evil's description, she still had three older brothers, all of them were very experienced and capable, it should not be a problem for them to support their families, why did the Wang family fall along with the death of ghost evil?

He continued to ask, ”How did it fall?”

Wang Bo shook his head, and said: ”This matter was too long ago, and I was not born at that time. I only know that the Wang Family over there seems to have been possessed, as they successively died, one by one. Their health is not very good, and this kind of person is destitute, unable to support the family's business. ”

After experiencing so many strange things with Fang Miaomiao, Lu Zhinan became very vigilant. How could a family that was fine be infected with an evil spirit, and one dead person after another, so much that they became destitute?

Liu Cheng also thought it was strange, he rubbed his chin and said: ”That's strange. Could there be some special reason behind it? ”

Lu Zhinan's heart stirred, and he asked Wang Bo: ”Is the Wang Family's residence over there still there?”

Wang Bo replied, ”I'm here. ”However, it has been a long time since it was rebuilt, and it has long since been abandoned.”

Lu Zhinan said: ”Right now, we have nothing better to do, how about this, you bring me to the house to take a look.”

At some point, the sky had turned dark.

Wang Bo made a trip back to the Duke Palace and brought along an old, white-haired servant. Only he knew the old road to the Wang Mansion.

A stone alley, quiet, serene and deep. One alley overlapped another, looking like a maze.

The old servant finally stopped. ”We're here.”

The deserted house, the dusty walls, the brown tiles. There was a thick layer of dust on the black door plate, and the black iron gate ring was covered in rust. On the side, there was a acacia. The tree was not tall, with thick branches that extended all the way into the yard.

The old servant stepped forward, raised his hand to hold the door knocker, and pushed open the door, letting out a dull and dry sound.

As far as the eye could see, there was a patch of overgrown weeds, and branches intertwined with each other. The ground was littered with gravel. A layer of dark green moss was floating on the surface of the lotus pond.

The owner of the house seemed to have left in a hurry. The large bronze ship was placed on the stone platform outside the old house, and it was too late to take it away. There was a saying that the merchant house had a model of a large ship piled on top of it with gold and silver treasures. The head of the ship faced the house, signifying that all the money would enter the house.

A bird flapped its wings as it flew past. Cracking sounds could be heard coming from the old house, as if it was talking about the loneliness after the liveliness. The helplessness and desolation of going to the empty building.

Liu Cheng's finger touched the dried up flower branches in the pot as if he was infected by the depression. He asked softly, ”Young Marquis, this place is dark, would it cause a ghost?”

Lu Zhinan looked around, and said: ”I can't say for sure.”

After saying that, he strode off in the direction of the main house.

The architecture of the main house was exquisite, and one could imagine the magnificence of that year. Lu Zhinan pushed open the door and entered the house. The light inside was dim, the walls and beams were covered with a thick spider web, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.

”Young duke, come quickly.”

Liu Cheng's loud voice came out.

Lu Zhinan turned around and walked out of the house, and asked: ”What's the matter?”

Liu Cheng, Wang Bo and the group of military officers dressed in silk squatted on the ground, their gazes landing on a wooden board exposed in the dirt. The wooden board was pitch black, and most of it was still buried in the ground. The exposed parts were vaguely visible.

The wooden planks should have been completely buried in the ground. With the passage of time, the wind and the rain, as well as the house's decadence, the contents of the earth were exposed.

Lu Zhinan's heart tightened, as he tried to figure out the strange happenings with the ghost evil and Wang Family, sensing that the wooden board was not simple at all.

”Let me see what this is?”

A military officer dressed in silk clothing stretched out his hand to grab the wooden board.

Liu Cheng had become much more cautious by now and hurriedly shouted to stop him, ”Don't touch it.”

Unfortunately, he was a step too late. When his finger came into contact with the wooden board, it was as if he had been bitten by something. Suddenly, he became red and swollen, and a huge blister appeared on his skin.

The field officer in embroidered clothes let out a blood-curdling screech. His hands were crossed in pain and his face was deathly pale.

Seeing that, Lu Zhinan's heart sank, for such a situation, they could not solve it by themselves.
