Let's cut to the chase. After walking around the residence, my great-great-grandfather stopped at the garden between the front courtyard and the back courtyard. Because the most chaotic area of the Cai residence was in the garden, my great-great-grandfather felt that there must be something in the garden.
At this moment, the garden was quiet. Just as the old butler Cai Zhang had said, the flowers and plants in the garden had all withered and withered. Their branches and leaves were broken, and they looked quite desolate.
After looking at the flowers and plants, my great-great-grandfather went to the fish pond again and shone his lantern into the pond. In my great-great-grandfather's memory, the water in the fish pond was very clear. You could see the bottom at a glance. There were also pond lotuses floating on the water surface. Small fish were playing happily under the lotus leaves. It was a pleasing sight to the eye. However, the water in the fish pond was dark green. Not only was it muddy, but there was also a faint rancid smell that choked his nostrils, as if something had rotted in the water. The pond lotus on the surface of the water was also gone, and it looked like a muddy puddle. My great-great-grandfather didn't see any dead fish on the surface of the water. It might have been fished out and thrown away by the servants of the Cai family.
At this moment, the tragic state of the Cai Manor garden was completely different from the garden in my great-great-grandfather's memories. My great-great-grandfather couldn't help but frown and feel sorry for it.
At this moment, my great-great-grandfather suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if a cold wind was blowing on his body from behind. He hurriedly turned around and raised the lantern above his head to shine. There was nothing in the area illuminated by the lantern, but the cold wind was very clear and real.
According to my great-great-grandfather's judgment, something unclean must have run past him just now. That wind was the Yin Qi brought by that thing.
Many people might have encountered this phenomenon before. A gust of wind blew for no reason. It was very fast and cold. Generally, people with good health and strong Yang qi would not feel anything. If they caught up with those with poor health and weak Yang qi, they might sneeze or have a cold war. However, it was fine if you sneezed or had a cold war. You would fall into the trap of that thing. This kind of thing actually bullied the weak and feared the strong. When you shivered, it was as if you were showing weakness to it. When it saw that you were easy to bully, it would directly look for you. In the light, it would have a fever and headache that could not be cured for a long time. In the serious case, it would directly possess you, causing you to not recognize your family and speak nonsense.
Fortunately, he's my great-great-grandfather. His Yang qi is strong, and he even has an item to ward off evil spirits on him. If it were anyone else at this time, they might not just feel as simple as being blown by the cold wind.
My great-great-grandfather held the lantern and tried to walk in the direction of the cold wind. When my great-great-grandfather and my great-great-grandmother first got married, he often accompanied my great-great-grandmother here to admire the flowers and feed the fish. He was not unfamiliar with the layout of this place. He remembered that if he walked further, there would be a well.
After walking for about ten steps, a well appeared. There was no windlass frame, rope, bucket, or other water tools on the well. It was just a bare well. A two-foot-high apron was piled up with gravel at the mouth of the well. The water in this well was not for drinking, but for the gardeners of the Cai Residence to water the flowers.
At this moment, a cold wind blew in my face, as if something had run past my great-great-grandfather. Of course, it still didn't affect my great-great-grandfather. However, it was also because of this that my great-great-grandfather's Yang qi was so strong that he couldn't see anything. He only felt a little cold in the wind.
" After I learned my skills, among the people I helped and came into contact with, there were indeed people who saw these unclean things. However, their explanations were different. Some said that they were white shadows, like fog. Some said that they were black shadows, like the shadows of humans. Some said that they were small animals like cats, dogs, and foxes. The last one said that they directly saw a floating human figure.
I don't know why there are so many theories. What exactly do these dirty things look like? Our family has passed them down for generations, but we haven't really seen them. This might have something to do with the skills we learned, or it might have something to do with the evil-warding items we carry with us all year round. As for what kind of exorcism items we have on us, we will mention it in the future. However, I am not sure if it will be effective on others.
