Lu Liding did not believe in ghosts and gods. He carefully examined the tea table and soon found that the cushion on the table leg was missing. Without the cushion, the table naturally tilted. This was the reason why the teacup fell, not the ghost.
"I told you there were no ghosts, but you didn't believe me. Now you should believe me.”
Lu Liding smiled. He finally found evidence to prove his point.
"So the table is crooked."
After hearing her husband's reasonable explanation, Mrs. Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she still had doubts. The cushion had no hands or feet. It was still under the table just now. No one had touched it. How could it suddenly disappear? There was probably something fishy about it.
Lu Liding placed a tattered book under the table. The table immediately stabilized and the table did not tilt. The teacups and teapots were also placed back on the table. They were all stable. This time, they definitely wouldn't break.
"Alright, Madam, let's sleep early.”
After a busy night, Lu Liding was really tired.
Madam Lu held a candlestick in her hand, and the candlelight flickered. Lu Liding took his wife's hand and walked away from the table step by step toward the soft couch.
Crack!
The sound of a teacup shattering came from behind him again.
Lu Liding and Madam Lu's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this familiar voice. A cold and sinister air rushed from the soles of their feet to their heads.
Lu Liding could guarantee with his life that the table was absolutely flat and tidy. However, how could he explain this voice? Could it be that there was really a ghost? He was unwilling to believe this answer.
Just as he was engaged in a battle…
Crack!
The sound of a teacup shattering could be heard behind him again.
This voice seemed to knock on Lu Liding's heart, causing his entire body to tremble. He only felt his fingertips go cold, but he was the head of the family, so he braced himself and turned his head fearfully, stopping the corner of his eye on the table.
Then, he saw an unforgettable scene.
There was no one beside the table, but the teacups on the table slowly moved to the side of the table. Soon, they reached the edge of the table and fell to the ground, breaking into two halves.
The most terrifying thing was that these teacups seemed to have seen Lu Liding. They actually became even more aggressive and moved faster to the edge of the table. They smashed into pieces one after another. The sound of cracking rose and fell. In the dead of night, it was really creepy.
Seeing this scene, Lu Liding was already scared silly.
"Ghost!" Mrs. Lu screamed in fear.
A gust of chilly wind suddenly blew in the room with the doors and windows closed. The candle in Madam Lu's hand was instantly extinguished, and the room fell into endless darkness.
The series of strange events made Lu Liding's heart skip a beat, and his scalp went numb.
Keke--
The terrifying sound that had disappeared for a long time suddenly sounded in the darkness.
Mrs. Lu felt her scalp go numb. She hid behind her husband and refused to leave. She had a strong premonition that somewhere in the darkness beside her, there was a terrifying thing staring at her.
Lu Liding was also in a daze, but he still held the hilt of his sword and forced himself to calm down. He knew that he was the pillar of support. If he was frightened, his wife would also be in danger.
"Chilian Fairy Li Mochou, if you have the guts, then fight openly. I, Lu, am not as good as you, so I will die without regrets. Don't play tricks to scare people!”
He didn't know how to explain tonight's horrifying incident, so he could only use Li Mochou as an excuse. He hoped that his wife would calm down a little after hearing these words.
He knew that even the Five Uniques of Huashan would not be able to make the teacup move without touching it, let alone Li Mochou.
"Could it really be haunted…"
What he regretted the most now was not listening to Ye Wudao, and he should not have torn the ghost exorcism talisman.
"Madam, light the candles first."
The darkness around them was too scary.
Madam Lu was so scared that her hair was trembling. Her face had long turned pale. Trembling, she took out a lighter and blew at it with all her might. However, the lighter that usually burned with a blow was not burning at this moment. It was useless to blow at it with all her might. She was sure that this was the work of a ghost, and her heart was even more terrified.
"Let me do it."
Lu Liding snatched the lighter and blew at it with all his might. However, the lighter only emitted smoke and did not catch fire. Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Keke--
At some point, mournful cries came from the darkness again. Mrs. Lu heard it clearly. The cry was sharp and ear-piercing. It was like a sob and a complaint. It was not a sound that a human could make.
The ghostly wails and howls were getting closer and closer. Lu Liding and Madam Lu felt their hair stand on end. How could they still have the mood to light the candle? They shouted and rushed to the door without caring about anything.
As soon as they reached the door, they pushed it open with all their might. Who knew that the door that usually opened with a push would not open tonight, as if it had been bewitched.
Lu Liding was in a hurry and had no choice but to use all his strength to knock on the door. Bang! The door that used to be loose was now as hard as a city wall. He could not break it open at all. This made his back feel even colder.
He had never believed in ghosts, but now that he had really seen a ghost, he had no choice but to believe it. He was really afraid.
Keke--
Keke--
At this moment, the terrifying ghostly wails were getting louder and closer.
Mrs. Lu was a woman. She felt the thing approaching her step by step. She hugged the candlestick and sobbed. Her face was covered in tears.
" Young Master Ye, help, help…"
She screamed in agony. She was really about to collapse. This was too terrifying.
Lu Liding was burning with anxiety. He used all his strength to knock on the door. His bones were about to fall apart, but in the end, he did not break the door open.
Jie!
The tragic and terrifying ghost wails finally arrived quietly.
When the ghost howls arrived in front of them, they immediately turned into a gust of cold wind. When this cold wind blew on one's body, it would make one's hands and feet turn cold and their scalps go numb.
At this moment, the candlestick in Madam Lu's hand suddenly emitted a faint light. The light grew brighter and brighter until it suddenly lit up.
The candle that couldn't be lit just now actually lit up by itself at this moment!
"Ah!" Mrs. Lu screamed.
"Ghost Lantern!" Lu Liding exclaimed.
This scene was truly terrifying beyond compare. Even Lu Liding, who was a wealthy man in the martial world, was terrified, and his face turned pale.
His tensed nerves completely collapsed.
Mrs. Lu was scared out of her wits and fell to the ground. The candlestick rolled to the side and fell heavily to the ground, but it was still shining green and flickering like a grimacing demon.
"Ghost, ghost fire!" Lu Liding shouted in fear.
Looking at this terrifying scene, no matter how bold he was, he was about to go crazy.
He really couldn't digest such an inconceivable matter. He was sure that no matter how good Li Mochou's martial arts were, he couldn't light a fire from afar. This was definitely haunted.
Lu Liding really regretted his actions. If he had known that this day would come, he would have believed Ye Wudao's words and obediently stuck the Ghost Expelling Talisman on the door. Then, none of this would have happened. However, it was too late to say anything now. The ghost had already come.
Jie--
The green candlelight let out a ghostly howl, and the flame instantly grew stronger. It actually left the candle and floated in the air, turning into a ferocious ghost that pounced towards Lu Liding.
