After leaving the building, neither Brother Hu nor I knew how to drive, so we took a taxi and found the nearest hotel to stay in.

Fang Yaozu and Fang Pengguang also woke up in the evening, but they were still in a trance. It was no use for Brother Hu and I to call them, so we could only wait for them to recover while sitting there.

"Brother Hu, you said that what happened just now was an illusion, then how did we fall into it?" I asked curiously. I remembered that an illusion requires a medium, but I fell into it without feeling anything.

"It's just a small illusion. First of all, it's the layout of the hall. I felt something was a little strange when I entered, but I didn't react at that time. Humph, the arrangement of those vases and flower pots was a conductor. Then we were scared when we saw the elevator stop on the fourth floor at the elevator door. Finally, there was the female ghost inside."

"But I feel that the female ghost doesn't have much attack power. What's the point of this thing?" I said. Indeed, the ghost had no attack power at all. She was just scared.

"The lack of attack power is only for the two of us. If we meet an ordinary person, like Fang Yaozu, he will be scared half to death." Brother Hu said disdainfully, as if he really disdains such illusions.

Hearing what Brother Hu said, I nodded. Indeed, to be honest, I was scared when the female ghost appeared. I have seen many ghosts, and this was the case, let alone other ordinary people.

While we were chatting, Fang Yaozu seemed to have recovered a little, and said to us: "I still have to thank you two for what happened today. If it weren't for you two, Pengguang and I would probably be in great danger."

"It's nothing. It's what I should do. But how could an illusion appear in the Feng Shui Bureau?" I said curiously.

"This is not a Feng Shui arrangement at all. I think someone is just tinkering with it. Director Fang, have you offended someone?" Brother Hu asked from the opposite side.

"No, I'm in a position now and usually don't have to deal with anything, so it's not a matter of offending anyone." Fang Yaozu said after thinking for a while.

Next it's my turn as the second generation Conan to use my imagination. Firstly, according to Brother Hu, the problem with Fang Yaozu's family was not due to feng shui, but someone was playing tricks, and Fang Yaozu's bad luck started when he had just moved out of the house.

"Director Fang, do you think it might be that you offended someone when you were about to move out of the old house, and he got the news that your old house was a feng shui bureau and came to make trouble." I expressed my thoughts.

"When I just moved out, let me think about it." Fang Yaozu pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, I remembered that I handled a case during that time." When he said this, he suddenly fell into deep thought again.

Seeing Fang Yaozu still keeping the secret, I said, "Director Fang, it's already this time, hurry up and tell me."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that it's too weird. Half a year ago, I took on a case involving a person from a cult. Later, the people above me wanted to deal with him, so I used my connections to get him sentenced to death. However, he was executed by firing squad a few months ago, so it's unlikely that he was the one causing trouble." Fang Yaozu said.

"It should be him. As for the execution, Brother Hu can stand in front of you. What if he turns into a ghost and comes back to take revenge on you?" I said.

"No, this should not be done by ghosts. I smell human scent. My nose is very sensitive." Brother Hu touched his nose as he said this.

"So, second brother, what should we do about this?"

"Well, I'll find someone to investigate this matter. You just stay in this room and be careful." As soon as Brother Hu finished speaking, Han Keer fainted. I knew that Brother Hu had left.

Then I told Fang Yaozu and the others not to worry and so on, and then we waited in the hotel. Out of boredom, I started chatting with Fang Yaozu and learned about that person's story.

It turned out that about a year ago, someone reported that some people in a village were practicing feudal superstition. Originally, such a small matter could be dealt with by sending a few police officers. Later, three people went there, but two of them became crazy when they came back, while the other one was in a clear mind, but unfortunately he refused to say anything.

I don't know why, but the people above me got furious when they found out about this and asked Fang Yaozu to investigate thoroughly. Later, Fang Yaozu had no choice but to bring a group of armed police in to search. Unexpectedly, they actually found out some things.

Fang Yaozu had just entered the village. Because his family had changed the feng shui layout, which gave him such good fortune and enabled him to be promoted and become rich, he still believed in these things. So he planned to just walk around a few times and leave, and did not want to get involved with the so-called cult.

But I don’t know if the cult member was too confident or what, he actually openly promoted the benefits of the cult in broad daylight in the open space of the small village, which made Fang Yaozu very angry, and he directly detained the man.

The man's name was Qi Chaoyin. He was not afraid of being caught, so he followed Fang Yaozu and the others. Originally, there was nothing wrong with promoting feudal superstition, as at most he would be imprisoned for a few years. However, the people above him insisted on punishing him and sentenced him to death. There was no choice but to execute him. Fang Yaozu was worried for several days, fearing that this man would turn into a ghost and come back to find him. However, after half a month, nothing happened and the matter was over.

I got a headache after hearing this. These evil cults have been around for who knows how many years and are very difficult to deal with.

"Xiaojiu, listen to Brother Hu. My family is unlucky not because of the Feng Shui. It's because someone is playing tricks, right?" Fang Yaozu asked me out of boredom.

"Well, it should be. The person we met this time should have some skills." I said this. Indeed, Second Brother Hu is a fox fairy. Although it was later discovered that it was an illusion, Second Brother Hu had actually fallen into this illusion before and did not realize it.

And who knows if that guy is really only good at illusion? What if he only knows one of them? It would be very troublesome to deal with him.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was seven o'clock in the evening. Fang Yaozu received many calls, which seemed to be all about work. He also arranged for other people to deal with them. After experiencing the illusion just now, Fang Yaozu now felt that he was only safe in our presence.

Han Ke'er woke up quickly, and then calmly went to the hotel computer to play QQ Landlord online. Come to think of it, it seemed that this girl fainted when Brother Hu had sex with her during the day, otherwise she probably wouldn't be so calm.

The worst one among them was Fang Pengguang. He woke up at nearly five in the afternoon. When he got up, he asked us what time it was. It seemed that he was just sleeping. Later, I reminded him a little about what happened during the day, and this guy turned pale. He looked really scared.

Just when it was almost half past eight, Han Keer, who was surfing the Internet on the computer, suddenly said, "There's news. Huh, I didn't expect it to be from the Miao Witch Cult." The voice was that of Second Brother Hu, and we only then knew that Second Brother Hu was back.

"Brother, have you found out?" I asked.

"Well, I've almost finished the investigation. Qi Chaoyin is a member of the Miao Witch Cult, and he has an older brother named Qi Chaoyang. His younger brother died half a year ago for unknown reasons, so he has been trying to find ways to take revenge. These are some of the information I found." Brother Hu said.

"So the person who persecuted Director Fang must be Qi Chaoyang." Then I told Brother Hu what Fang Yaozu had said to me. After listening, Brother Hu nodded and said, "The evil spirit we met outside Director Fang's house that time must have been Qi Chaoyang's work, but later Fang Pengguang and Wu Xiaozi ran into him by accident."

"Then have you found out the whereabouts of Qi Chaoyang?" I asked. This is the main thing. Otherwise, there is no point in saying so much.

"Of course. He is currently staying in a hotel not far from here. One of my juniors bumped into him by accident today."

"Second brother, how did your descendant know Qi Chaoyang?" I suddenly asked.

"Haha, little Wu, you underestimate us wild immortals too much. Let alone Qi Chaoyang, we also have your information and your master's information. As long as they are in the supernatural circle, we will go to find their information." Brother Hu said.

I suddenly thought of Li Mingyao. He has been gone for so long and there is no news. I can’t contact him either. Maybe there is news about Brother Hu

"Second brother, do you know a man named Li Mingyao? Can you help me find out how he is doing recently?" I said to Brother Hu.

"Li Mingyao? Sounds familiar. Never mind. Let's get down to business first. I'll help you check this out when I get back." After saying that, Brother Hu turned to Fang Yaozu and said, "Are you going with us or are you staying here?"

"Pengguang and I should just stay here. We can't help you with anything and we will only cause more trouble. If you can help me deal with that person, I will reward you handsomely." Fang Yaozu said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay then, I'm going to skin that guy today." After saying that, Brother Hu smiled and pulled me out.
