"I didn't expect that other than immortals and monsters, there would be ghosts and city gods in this world…All the myths and legends I read in my previous life have now become reality.”
Ye Yuan set up a table under the locust tree and took out a chair. He lay under the shade of the tree and drank tea.
But in fact, drinking tea was only on the surface. Ye Yuan did not know the taste of the tea at all. His mind was completely pondering over what had happened in the past few days.
It was no exaggeration to say that the scenes he had seen in the past few days since he transmigrated were better than the scenes he had seen in his previous life.
Influenced by the ancient culture of his previous life, Ye Yuan had always been in awe of gods and ghosts.
For example, the City God.
In the mythological system of his previous life, there was no lack of heavy ink and heavy color. Although the City God's grade was not very high, it was a very important Yin Si true god.
Many places still had Shing Wong Temples, and the incense offerings were quite good.
In Ye Yuan's heart, the prestige of the Divine Dao was more important than immortals, demons, and ghosts. After all, behind the gods, they relied on the two major institutions of the Netherworld and the Heavenly Court.
" The City God has the duty to monitor the human world. When I think about how everything I do will be watched by the righteous gods of the underworld, I feel a little uncertain…But fortunately, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the possibility of dealing with the righteous gods for the time being, so there's no need to worry too much. After all, I don't do evil things.”
Ye Yuan subconsciously blew on the teacup, but he realized that there was no heat.
The old locust tree was connected to the Yin vein, and the entire courtyard was cold. The closer he got to the old locust tree, the stronger it was.
Although he didn't feel anything, the pot of tea that had just been heated quickly cooled down.
At this moment, Zhuang Mochen walked in wearing a thick robe. He happened to see Ye Yuan blowing on the teacup and said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, if you drink tea here, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink a mouthful of hot tea in your life.”
Ye Yuan laughed and drank the cup of herbal tea.
"The weather is hot, so it's not impossible to drink herbal tea.”
The two of them laughed at the same time.
After the joke, Zhuang Mochen rubbed his hands together and got down to business.
"The fog in Little Ning County has dispersed, and most of the evil spirits have been killed. Everything has returned to normal, but my old house still has a lingering fear in many people. In the past few days, few people have come close to this place…However, Mr. Ye, living here has attracted a lot of criticism.”
Ye Yuan frowned.
"But the villagers think I'm acting weird?”
Zhuang Mochen smiled and shook his head.
"I just can't figure it out. This place is bone-chilling, and a pot of hot tea will turn cold in just a moment. No matter how you look at it, it's a little strange. Even if Mister Ye is bold and fearless, how did he adapt to the cold here?”
Zhuang Mochen revealed a puzzled expression. Clearly, this was also his question.
Ye Yuan pondered for a moment. It was indeed strange to say so.
But he couldn't explain.
Actually, there was no need to explain. As long as he left this courtyard and lived elsewhere, the storm would naturally calm down.
In fact, Zhuang Mochen had already given up on the old mansion for the past few days. He had bought a courtyard opposite and had been living there.
Only Ye Yuan himself was still living in this abandoned small courtyard. It was inevitable that others would find it strange.
However, Ye Yuan was unwilling to leave from the bottom of his heart. Although he had yet to figure out what was strange about this place, that bone-chilling chill was a good thing for him.
Now that the copper cauldron had returned to his body, it seemed to be uninterested in the newly born Yin Meridian Qi.
Ye Yuan couldn't absorb the meridian qi with the help of the copper cauldron, but when the meridian qi dissipated, there would always be traces of it entering his body, and he could obtain certain benefits.
Usually, he might not be able to feel it. It was a silent nourishment.
But the benefits were real.
Therefore, in the eyes of Ye Yuan, who was currently 'penniless,' this abandoned small courtyard could actually be considered a blessed land.
Other people might not know about the beauty of it, but how could he not know?
That was why he lived alone here. However, he didn't want to appear very strange in the eyes of the world.
"It's not easy to explain the reason to Mister Zhuang, but living here is indeed not a burden to me. In fact, my only worry is that I'm disturbing Mister Zhuang. After all, this is his old residence.”
Ye Yuan didn't find a reason to lie. Instead, he gave a half-vague and half-honest response.
He felt that he had already treated Zhuang Mochen as a good friend, so there was no need to make up too many lies. After all, the more lies one said, the more mistakes one made.
"I thought that Mr. Ye would find some excuse to fool me, but I didn't expect him to answer like this.”
Zhuang Mochen looked at him and suddenly laughed.
"Honesty is the most important thing in a gentleman's friendship. Mr. Ye didn't lie to me, which is enough to comfort me.”
"As for the specific reason, it must be something difficult to say. Who doesn't have a few things that they don't want to say? I don't need to ask too much about this."
" As for whether or not living here will disturb me, it's Teacher who is worrying too much…To be honest, after this house has experienced a series of changes, I no longer intend to keep it. I even plan to sell it, but who would buy this haunted house? It's really a headache."
Zhuang Mochen sighed. The location of the residence was not bad, but after the fiendish ghost incident, no one would be interested even if they were to sell it at a discount.
To him, this was actually an undeserved disaster.
"Wait, Mr. Zhuang has the idea of selling the house? Then why don't I buy it?"
Ye Yuan's heart moved.
The root of disaster in the eyes of others was a blessed land in his eyes.
This residence was not bad in itself. It was more than enough for him to live alone. He just needed to take care of it, which was not a problem.
Moreover, he had never owned a house of his own in both his previous and present lives…
In his previous life, the property prices were heaven-defying. It was really unimaginable for him to want to buy such a house with a courtyard.
But now, there was an opportunity.
Thinking of this, his heart beat faster.
"Sell it to Mr. Ye? This, this is not impossible, but…"
Zhuang Mochen was speechless.
"Mr. Ye, are you really planning to stay in this haunted house for a long time?”
Ye Yuan said with a smile.
"I don't have a permanent residence to begin with, so I wanted to find a place to settle down. Now that I've come across this courtyard, perhaps it's fate. Why don't I stay here and be neighbors with Mr. Zhuang? We can take care of each other, but I'm afraid that the villagers might not understand and gossip.”
Zhuang Mochen chuckled.
"It's a good thing that Mister Ye is a neighbor. Since that's the case, I'll sell this house to you…As for the villagers, it's fine. I'll spread the word later that Mister Ye has been feverish since he was young. There's a heat poison in his body that medicine can't remove, so he likes to live in a shady place.”
Ye Yuan naturally had no objections and immediately said.
"Mister Zhuang has arranged it well.”
However, he looked troubled and awkward.
"It's just that I'm currently penniless and I still rely on you for all my expenses. I even said that I wanted to buy a house. After thinking about it carefully, I really feel ashamed. I hope that you can be tolerant for a few days and definitely think of a way to gather the money to buy a house.”
Ye Yuan suddenly thought of this and wished he could find a hole to hide in.
What was he doing?
This was called free whoring!
How dare you buy a house without a penny?
He had never done such a shameless thing in his two lifetimes. How could he ignore the fact that he had no money?
"With Mr. Ye's ability, a little money definitely won't cause any trouble. You and I are friends, and the most important thing is to know each other.”
Zhuang Mochen didn't care about this matter. He seemed very open-minded. He waved his hand to indicate that he could pay anytime. His gaze was fixed on the old locust tree, and his eyes were more serious.
" However, this old tree seems a little strange. There was an evil spirit living here before, and now the coldness in this courtyard is coming from it. The villagers all say that this tree is ominous, and I agree…Why don't I find a few people to cut down this tree? That way, you can live here more peacefully.”
Cut down trees?
Ye Yuan really did not think about this. He subconsciously looked at the old locust tree with some hesitation in his eyes.
At this moment, the old locust tree suddenly trembled. The branches shook and the leaves rustled.
There was no wind at the moment, but the branches and leaves of the old locust tree seemed to have been rolled by the strong wind and actually drooped down.
It was as if a person was bending over and begging for mercy.
This scene stunned the two of them.
