Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 53: The house of the circle master

Views:

In the next few days, I was in a daze, knowing that I couldn't analyze it with my own ability, so I might as well leave Qin Yiheng space and time for him to think about it, so I let go of my heart Sleep a lot.

Qin Yiheng didn't call me until the fourth day. I thought he had found some clues, but only after answering the phone did I find out that there was a house that came to me. He asked me if I was interested in going to see it. If so, I would go to his house to meet him.

I was quite excited to hear that there was money to be made. Neither of us have opened for a long time. However, after I thought about it, I was still a little hesitant, not because I was afraid of the things inside. After all, it was Qin Yiheng who blocked the gun in front. I just considered that housing prices continued to rise during this period, but those were all falsely high, and basically there were There is no market for the price. If you buy a house at this time, you may lose money in the future. So, I asked about the approximate location and price of the house on the phone. In the end, Qin Yiheng told me that this house is a new house built in imitation of a courtyard house. It can barely be regarded as a kind of villa. Although the location is relatively remote in a certain prefecture-level city in the northeast, the surrounding environment is good, so there is no need to worry about falling prices. The problem, and the price is very reasonable, the price is 700,000 yuan, and the transfer is also included.

I heard his tone on the phone quite relaxed. I guess the problem with the house should not be serious, and I looked at the location he said on the online map. From the map, the potential should not be small. It is said that the subway will also be repaired. In this area, it will definitely appreciate in value by then. When I think about it, my heart is moved. During this period of time, my mood was very low, and it would be a good thing to earn some money to stimulate my vitality, so I immediately agreed, packed a few clothes and went to find him.

It wasn't until I got out that I remembered that with Qin Yiheng's style, the big wardrobe and plaster statue must still be in his house. When I saw that thing, I was really disturbed, so I called him again and asked him to meet in a coffee shop.

The two met in the cafe, and Qin Yiheng told the details of the house.

This house was only built two years ago, and it is considered to be in a villa area. Now many rich people are tired of living in villas and want to return to the feeling of old Beijing courtyards. The developer also pursued profits, and built a row of houses in the last row of the entire villa area according to the specifications of courtyard houses. At that time, the opening price was not low, and it was sold out quickly. This time it was one of the households who came to see us. In the beginning, few people lived in this house, and it was probably bought by some rich man, who occasionally came here for a weekend stay. The surrounding courtyard houses are also in the same situation as this one, mostly when they are empty.

Coincidentally, one day last year, due to the maintenance of water pipes in this community, the property owner had to go door-to-door to check whether there was any water leakage in the house. Only then did I find the owner through the phone number of the owner registered at the property. The owner may also be busy with business, and he hasn't come to the courtyard house for a long time. At that time, he didn't rush back, but sent an employee to help open the door. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, everyone was so frightened by the scene in front of them that they almost fell over.

Because, right in the middle of the living room, there was a dead man, who had been dead for some time. It's just that the courtyard is big enough, and the courtyards are far apart, so the corpses stink and have not been found. And what's weird is that the dead man was a tall and thick old man, who was actually dressed in women's clothes, with heavy makeup on his face. There were many large wounds on the corpse, all of which were scratched by the glass of the broken window. The whole body was almost completely stained with blood. The whole person was in a very strange posture, with his hands on his knees, nestling in the living room. Throughout the room, there were bloodstains of this person crawling on the ground everywhere, which looked very scary.

Seeing that someone was killed, the property immediately called the police. After the police came to check, they found that there was no relevant identity information on this person, and he had never received a report of missing persons similar to him. After inspecting the scene, the investigators combined the strange attire of this person, and finally determined that a person with mental problems committed suicide here, so the case was closed.

Someone died so bizarrely in his own house, the owner naturally didn't dare to live in it anymore, and during that time he may have needed capital for his business, so he sold the house to another person at a low price last year. Because what happened in the house is not a sensation, but it is also a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys for a while. Therefore, it is said that the price at that time was very low. How low it is, I am afraid it is even lower than the price quoted to us now. Some.

After the body was discovered, there was no news of a haunted house, but it was still a haunted house in the standard sense.

The person who took over was not an idiot either, he bought it for real estate investment. In fact, to put it bluntly, what we do is a business. This person is barely an expert, because he was a "circle master" earlier and knew some alchemy methods, so he used his own methods to clean the inside and outside of the house. again. This cleaning is not simply cleaning, but also includes a series of processes of raising and sending off spirits.

After he cleaned up the house, he moved in first, thinking about living in it for three to five years, and then selling the house when the matter of the house was almost forgotten, and then earning the difference from it. The house was stable at the beginning, except that the door of one room in the main house was not working well. However, this "circle master" is also alone, and he doesn't need such a big place to live by himself, so he has never cared about it.

But just recently, when he was sleeping every night, he could always hear a strange intermittent sound. Although the sound was not loud, it sounded harsh in the middle of the night. At first he thought it was a rat problem at home, so he bought a lot of rat poison, but it didn't work, and the noise got louder and louder. He became suspicious, and spent a whole night on vigil, trying to find out where the noise came from.

In the end, he really found it. The source of the sound was in the main room, and it came from the room with a bad door. He listened carefully that night and realized that the movement sounded like a person scratching the door of that room with his fingernails.

This "circle master" has a little knowledge of alchemy, so he has naturally seen some things in the world. At that time, he was not afraid, thinking that a thief had entered the house, so he opened the door directly to see what was inside the house. Unexpectedly, the door was dead and heavy, and he pulled it open with all his strength, but the room was empty. He went in and wanted to take a closer look, but he tripped over something, got up and looked back, but there was nothing on the ground.

Now the "circle master" started to break out in a cold sweat. He is also a knowledgeable person, and he knew at a glance that this was a disturbance in the house. He didn't dare to sleep in the house that night, and the next day he came back with paper money and ingots to worship, but at night, the sound remained the same.

Although this thing did not directly endanger people's lives, he knew that living like this would definitely not be a long-term solution, and if things went on like this, the value of the house would increase, and he might have to lose everything. In the end, it was all right. Knowing that Qin Yiheng and I specialize in this business, I contacted Qin Yiheng and wanted to sell this house to us. After all, we are much more professional than him. In this way, he will not lose money, and we will still make a profit.

According to what Qin Yiheng said, the person who came to us this time was still a second-hand dealer. Now there is even competition for speculating on haunted houses? In an instant, I felt stressed. We are all businessmen, and it is impossible to lose money in business. Since this person is a master of alchemy, if the things in the house are easy to deal with, he will definitely not come to us. So, isn't this house tricky

I think Qin Yiheng's tone seems to be confident. I talked about my concerns and wanted to ask him how sure he was.

He didn't answer directly, but told me that the so-called "circle master" is actually a business in the old society who has learned a little alchemy and then walks around the streets to cheat money. The reason why it is called "circle master" is that people in this business wear a copper or iron ring around their waists all year round, and a small gourd button is placed on the ring all year round, and the mouth is sealed with cinnabar. This gourd buckle is to hollow out a small gourd, put the thumb bone of a dead baby inside, and then take off the copper or iron ring at the village head of the alley, and draw a small circle on the ground along the edge. Whoever's child accidentally stepped into this circle, it is said that he would have a high fever and talk nonsense the night he returned home, and then the "circle owner" would take the opportunity to sell medicine or exorcise evil spirits here. In fact, it is to let the sick child suck the gourd button. But the child's parents certainly didn't know the mystery, and thought they had met a life-saving expert, so they were naturally grateful. If the family is good, they will give money to set up a banquet; if the family is not good, they will also send rice and noodles. This "circle master" makes a living by making money.

Later, with the development of society, more and more people saw through the tricks of the "circle masters" to cheat money, and this industry gradually became unable to survive. Many "circle masters" changed their careers to fortune-telling or simply found However, there are still a small number of "circle owners" who still stick to this wicked business, and it has evolved into using crooked methods to abduct and traffic children. The so-called "flower shooters" in the market actually evolved from the "circle masters" at the earliest. Although these "circle masters" all know a little bit of alchemy, they still mostly use tricks and abductions. It is almost impossible for them to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts.

After explaining, Qin Yiheng said: "So, what this person can't handle is not necessarily a big deal, maybe it's just a passer-by kid messing around for a day or two, let's take a look, maybe we'll catch a big leak."

He said it so lightly, my money-obsessed heart began to surge. Now that I said that, who wouldn't want to earn this money, so I immediately agreed.

The next day, we both got on the plane. The "circle master" personally picked us up at the airport. He looks more honest than I imagined, he doesn't look like a cheating and slippery master, he is probably older and more stable, after all, he is in his fifties.

"The owner of the circle" introduced himself as Xu Chuanxiang, and he was very polite when we met, which made me feel a little embarrassed. Xu Chuanxiang first took us to the hotel we had booked, put down our luggage, and took us to a meal, which was not low in standard. Maybe he was really desperate, otherwise he wouldn't be so willing to let the blood out. During the dinner, Xu Chuanxiang gave a rough account of the house again, which was no different from what Qin Yiheng relayed. It's just that when he was talking about it, his tone was very unsteady, which didn't fit his age, and he seemed to be really frightened by the things in the house.

I felt a little uneasy when I heard it. Seeing that Qin Yiheng's expression didn't change, I persuaded myself to put my heart in my stomach, and said that I would wait until I went to see the house.

After dinner, Qin Yiheng proposed to go directly to the house to have a look, so that he could see clearly while it was dark. The three of them went straight to the house without any delay.
