Chapter 526 Past Events in Xiangjiang (7)
The face of the fat landlord suddenly turned pale, and a gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver suddenly, and then said with a dry smile: "That room... I still don't want to see it. Right? There's nothing interesting to see."
Afa felt a little numb when he saw so many charms posted on the door, but he still laughed and said, "Didn't you say it's not haunted? Those ghosts?"
"Hey, shut up!" The fat landlord quickly covered his mouth and said, "What are you talking about? It's normal to have some good brothers in the house! Don't say that word!"
Afa slapped his hand away and asked impatiently: "Since there is nothing weird, do you want to rent that room or not? If not, let's go. .”
The fat landlord was still hesitating, and Taoist priest Jingde also said: "Don't be so nervous, boss. We monks don't taboo those things. A place that ordinary people can't live in is nothing to us. Even if there are good brothers in it, it doesn't matter." "
"The two masters are indeed experts!" The fat landlord gave a thumbs up. Seeing that the two tenants didn't say anything, he looked calm and calm. He, the landlord, was afraid. What? You're a bastard if you don't make money.
So he lowered his head and found a few keys to the house from the keychain. Resisting fear, he led them to the house and opened all the locked chains, but he still He didn't dare to go in, so he just bowed outside, and then said to them with a forced smile: "Master, the door has been opened, you can go in."
Taoist priest Jingde nodded and opened the door directly. He walked in first, followed closely by Taoist priest Lingkong, holding a compass in his hand.
After the two walked into the house, there was a strong musty smell inside. As the door was opened, the ceiling fan on the ceiling was also disturbed, turning slightly and making a creaking sound.
On the surface, the house looks very ordinary. Except for the fact that it has not been cleaned for a long time, causing a thin layer of dust on the furniture, there is nothing unusual. However, the strange thing is that there is a table in the center of the house, with a table on it. The mahjong pieces are neatly placed, as if they are ready for someone to play.
"Wow, Mahjong..." Afa poked his head out from outside. After seeing the mahjong table, he said in surprise: "That legend can't be true, right?"
Ling Kong The Taoist priest took three incense sticks from his bag and gave them to Taoist Jingde. After Taoist Jingde lit them, he walked around the house with the incense, muttering inaudible scriptures, and the room suddenly became filled with smoke. Surrounded.
The fat landlord did not dare to come in. He did not dare to breathe. He stared at the movements of the two Taoist priests with wide eyes, and his body was trembling, because he seemed to have just seen, in the flow of smoke, mahjong. The silhouettes of four people seemed to appear on the table.
"I'm sorry..." Afa poked the fat landlord next to him and said, "Did you see it? There seemed to be someone else inside just now..."
"No... I didn't see..." The fat landlord's teeth were chattering: "I didn't see anything."
Afa was not as scared as he was. The young man was very angry, and he said teasingly: "You With this look, everyone knows there is something wrong here. It seems that the legend is true."
"Please don't mention that word, boss..." The fat landlord was almost crying. It was getting weirder and weirder, and he wanted to turn around and run away now. "Is that the legend they are talking about?" Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked.
Master Lingkong nodded: "Yes, it was a very famous urban legend at the time - [Ghosts calling for meals]."
This incident is said to have occurred several years ago in this room on this floor.
The content of the legend is very simple. It is said that one night, a tea restaurant received a takeout order. The phone asked them to deliver the late night snack here. The sound of mahjong was also heard on the phone. .
This sounds like a very ordinary order, so after the late night snack was ready, the clerk of the tea restaurant came to the 18th floor of Xingfu Building. At that time, he did not notice anything wrong and delivered the meal smoothly. Arrived outside the room.
After knocking on the door, a pale hand took the supper in and settled the bill. The clerk who delivered the takeout didn't see clearly what was going on inside. He only heard the sound of mahjong and a strange smell coming from inside, but he didn't pay attention and left after taking the money.
The next day, the boss called all the delivery employees and scolded them because when he was checking the accounts, he actually found some ghost coins mixed in! This made him very angry, thinking that someone was causing trouble and deliberately used Hades coins to settle the bill. So he told his employees to see clearly and not to be deceived again.
But in the next few days, he still discovered the Hades Coin! It's like it was conjured out of thin air. After repeated investigations, the restaurant owner finally determined the source of the ghost coin, which was the meal ordered from Xingfu Building!
So he called the police directly. Whether the collected money turned into ghost coins, or those people deliberately used ghost coins to settle the bill, the police should be allowed to solve the matter.
Then the police came out. They knocked on the door outside the house during the day and found no one responded. After asking the surrounding residents, they said they had not seen the tenants here recently. The police felt something was wrong, so Then he forced the door open.
Then, they found four long-dead corpses next to the mahjong table in the house. After forensic examination, they found that the cause of death of these four corpses was carbon monoxide poisoning. When the corpses were found, there was another person around them. Brazier, it is speculated that they may feel cold at night in winter, so they burn charcoal for heating. As a result, the ventilation is not smooth, which leads to poisoning and death.
But what is shocking is that when the forensic doctors dissected them, they found that there was still undigested food in their stomachs, which was exactly the food served by the tea restaurant these days!
At that time, some people speculated that these people may have died unknowingly. They did not know that they were dead and were still immersed in the moment before death, so they called to order food and paid the bill normally. The 18th floor of the Xingfu Building itself has poor feng shui, which makes their souls stay in the mortal world and unable to reincarnate.
After this incident, nearby residents could always hear the sound of mahjong playing outside, and some people even saw figures wandering in the corridors...
These rumors spread more and more. The more exaggerated it is, the more people say that the 18th floor of Xingfu Building is connected to hell. In addition, the feng shui on the 18th floor of the building is not very good. It is not very comfortable to live for a long time. You can often see hallucinations, so the residents here have moved out one after another. here.
The landlord here, the fat man outside the house, has also invited many masters to exorcise evil spirits, but none of them can suppress them. He can only seal up the room until the ceremony is held. Only when the Taoist priests De Taoist and Lingkong arrived here did this room see the light of day again.
