Zuo Tian looked at his watch. It was already past nine o'clock. He wanted to settle this quickly, so he took the address and phone number and rushed to his destination.
Although Zuo Tian, who had a bad sense of direction, had to spend an hour to find it, the place was really not far. He only needed to beat around the bush four or five times to reach it. Zuo Tian felt dizzy. However, if they took the main road, they would find that they would reach Shancheng University in five stops if they took the bus straight east.
Zuo Tian sighed. The world was so small.
The landlord, who could not wait any longer, was a native of the mountain city. His mountain voice made Zuo Tian feel good.
She roughly understood that the old lady was talking nonsense. They were all complaining.
Zuo Tian did not think much of it.
The two of them started bargaining.
"Auntie, your house is quite good. Isn't it a little expensive?”
"Young man, you don't understand the market. I dare to guarantee that my house is the cheapest in the surrounding area. Look at me, I'm already at this age, and my children are all overseas. I left this apartment for the old couple to retire in. I also understand that you're students, so it's a bargain.”After the auntie said the word "jump off the building", she blamed herself in her heart. Ah pui, I'm really bringing up a sore spot. Aren't I just looking for trouble for nothing?
Zuo Tian did not know about this.
It was almost noon. He had not slept the entire night and was not energetic during the day. He had not eaten breakfast and was already hungry. He couldn't wait to settle the house matter as soon as possible so that he could sleep later so that he wouldn't sleep in the afternoon class. He hadn't been to school for half a month, and his first impression was already bad. If he offended the form teacher, he wouldn't have a good semester either.
His thoughts raced, and after a moment, he stopped talking nonsense with the landlord.
Zuo Tian, who had obtained the inheritance of King Yama, was a little blind in his heart. To dare to cause trouble on King Yama's head, he was really tired of living!
"How much does it cost a month?" Zuo Tian asked immediately.”
"Hehe, it's not expensive, it's not expensive at all. The old tenants all get 500 yuan a month. Recently, because the housing prices have been falling, and you new students don't have it easy, just 400 yuan. However, he had to pay three months 'rent in one go.”
When the landlord heard that Zuo Tian did not care much about the sensitive word "jumping off the building", he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Landlord, please make it cheaper. The school fees are too high.”
"Aiya, child, 400 yuan is already very cheap. Besides, if you don't have money, you can still rent a house outside the school. This young man is quite fast. He managed to get a girl so quickly. It's very good for the two of you to spend some alone time here.”
What the hell is this! Zuo Tian had heard about the things that happened around the school. He didn't dare to admit anything and just treated it as a misunderstanding.
"Let's not talk about the price first. At least look at the house first!”
"Aiyo, look at my memory. Old people are forgetful. Let's go, young man. I'll bring you to see the house.”The landlord turned around and entered the unit. As he opened the door, he said,"Young man, what's your name?”
"Oh, my surname is Zuo. My name is Zuo Tian."
"This surname is not common. Young man, where are you from?"
Zuo Tian felt like a matchmaker. He quickly covered it up. He did not want others to know too much about him.
When the door opened, the house was well decorated.
"Here, this is the room." The landlord pushed open a dark red door and walked in.
Zuo Tian's eyes lit up when he saw it. The decoration style was very…very Fengshui!
There was a wind chime hanging at the four corners and the center of the roof. The landlord opened the window, and a breeze blew in. The sound of the bell was pleasant to the ear. There was a lamp hanging in the middle. It was light yellow in color and looked very harmonious under the sunlight. There was a bed in the southeast corner of the room. It avoided the wind that would cause one to see the bed when the door was opened. The half-covered curtains blocked some of the sunlight and did not give too much light to the bed. There was a cupboard, a table, a chair, and a single sofa in the northwest corner. It wasn't expensive, but it was at least 90% new and looked comfortable. The floor was actually made of wood, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood. It was fragrant but not strong, just right.
Zuo Tian was satisfied. This house was really okay."Alright, Mr. Landlord, this is it. Bring me the contract and we'll sign it. I'll move in later.”
"The contract is here. I felt like someone was visiting today. I even sneezed in the morning. "Hehe." Hearing that Zuo Tian intended to rent it, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly took out the contract that he had prepared earlier.
Zuo Tian picked up a pen and signed his name while casually saying,""Mr. Landlord, who decorated this place? The feng shui is very particular.”
The landlord, who was looking at Zuo Tian's signature, was frightened by Zuo Tian's words. If Zuo Tian did not raise his head to look at her, he would probably be shocked by her appearance.
"Hehe, this, this is a master. Yes, he's a Feng Shui master. He's a relative of mine. He gives pointers on the Feng Shui layout of the room. The main purpose is to create a comfortable environment for the residents. It's good for everyone if we can rent it out, don't you think so?”Fang Dong Gan explained with a smile.
When Zuo Tian heard this, he only glanced at the mirror hanging beside the sofa in the northwest corner and did not say anything. Zuo Tian did not comment on the landlord's words.
The landlord was greedy, but he was a decent person, so he didn't argue with her. Besides, that thing was delivered to his door, so how could he not accept it? He was really giving her a pillow when she was sleepy.
The landlord quickly gave the money and left in a hurry with the excuse of not disturbing his rest. It was as if he would be unlucky if he stayed here for too long.
When the landlord went out and saw that the person had already left through the window, Zuo Tian hurriedly drew the curtains and locked the door. At this moment, Wang Cai suddenly enlarged. Its entire body was bathed in flames, and it seemed to be manic. It roared at the sofa in the southwest corner. From the moment it entered, Wang Cai appeared irritable and looked like it was about to explode at any moment. Fortunately, Zuo Tian hurriedly calmed it down. After the landlord left, he hurriedly checked for abnormalities.
However, Zuo Tian was worried that the idea would be troublesome and he did not have any experience.
This was because Wang Cai was very abnormal. When they first met, he was not burned by hellfire. Now that he was so anxious, it was definitely the "old ghost".
Dogs were very intelligent, let alone a divine beast like Wang Cai. Looking at the place where Wang Cai was shouting, it was a mirror. It was very ordinary and the only thing in the room that looked a little old.
Most of the time, if a mirror didn't have many decorations and only had a glass surface, and you couldn't see the back, no matter how awesome someone was, they wouldn't be able to identify its age. It was even more difficult to discover the abnormality within.
Zuo Tian walked in front of the mirror and examined it carefully. It was a very ordinary mirror. At the very least, Zuo Tian's eyes, which were augmented with the power of Hell Breath, could not see anything strange. Perhaps Zuo Tian was still a mortal now, so no matter how good he was, it was impossible for him to know everything.
After all, he was still inexperienced.
Zuo Tian was even more nervous.
Then, he took down the mirror and flipped it over.
Then, his expression changed drastically. On the other side of the mirror, there were dense runes carved, and they roughly looked like skeletons. It was covered in blood.
All of this only flashed past Zuo Tian's eyes after he came into contact with it, so much so that Zuo Tian did not even see what was on it.
Zuo Tian comforted Wang Cai and began to think again. Why did such a bizarre thing happen to him right after he received the inheritance?
If he was an ordinary person, the answer would be obvious once he rented this house: He would definitely die.
Then, Zuo Tian thought that the landlord must have known, or else he would not have been so anxious. As for the others, they would definitely not get the answer they wanted if they asked their neighbors.
In China, if a dead person was not reported, it must have been suppressed by someone. The seal was definitely sealed.
Moreover, Zuo Tian did not need to alert the enemy and ask others. The way to go was to keep this guy for himself behind closed doors!
After that, no matter how Zuo Tian fiddled with the mirror, nothing unusual happened.
Zuo Tian's expression was very ugly. This was the first time he had encountered something and there was no follow-up. He was very unhappy.
Then, Zuo Tian hung the mirror back. He began to rummage through other places. There would definitely be clues.
Sure enough, after a round of searching, there were problems with the wind chimes hanging in the four corners.
Normally, wind chimes made use of the flow of the wind to produce a pleasant sound through collisions.
However, as a modern art piece, what was with a copper coin on top?
Zuo Tian felt the copper coin. There was a weak ghost energy, and it could still beat non-stop under the influence of the prison breath. But that was all.
This was strange. Usually, if there was a spiritual artifact or an antique that could absorb souls, the ghost would attach itself to the item. However, this copper coin only had the aura of a ghost, and it was not weak. That meant that the ghost existed.
Was it because it was not time for the ghost to appear? Or was it not here, and this was just a place for it to harm people? Or was someone from the evil sect using living souls to refine ghost artifacts?
From the inheritance of King Yama, the so-called ghost was: The human soul, plus three or more spirits, would only form a ghost for special reasons. The three souls of ordinary people could not be gathered together by themselves. Only Ghost Dao cultivators could gather the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man to form a spirit. After further cultivation, they could finally form the Primordial Spirit. The living were called Yang Gods, while the ghosts were called Yin Gods.
There were two groups of Ghost Dao cultivators. One group focused on cultivating the primordial spirit and emphasized on dispersing the soul to allow the soul to fly. As long as he cultivated his Essence Soul, he could possess and change his body at will. His methods were usually to use his primordial spirit to control objects, especially flying swords, which could take people's heads from thousands of miles away.
On the other hand, the other faction focused on the body. When a person died, their soul would dissipate. When his soul was about to dissipate, he could absorb this power and strengthen his body through a secret technique, allowing his body to maintain its vitality forever. As for how far he would reach in the end, Zuo Tian really did not know. He only knew that many sects and organizations had experimented with many cultivation methods based on these two foundations. Becoming stronger and living forever was always a funny thing for people who had nothing better to do.
Zuo Tian checked the other Wind Chimes and got the same result. Moreover, he had made a major discovery: The wind chimes at the four corners and the copper coin in the middle added up to the Five Emperors Copper Coins. This made Zuo Tian, a rookie, unable to figure out what the mastermind behind this was up to.
It seemed that now was not the time to catch ghosts. Zuo Tian also gave up. He also decided to leave Wang Cai here to guard it. When he returned from school at night, he would carefully dig out this secret.
