Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 2 Boss Chen's Exploration

The housing prices in City S have always been the highest in the country, and being able to own a two-story villa on the second ring road is enough to show that this local tyrant is rich.Because I already have an appointment, when I came here there was already a housekeeper waiting for me at our door.But when he saw my appearance, he was obviously taken aback, it must be because of my young appearance.I thought to myself that my mental age is older than yours, okay? Don't judge people by their appearance.

But the butler didn't say much, and immediately invited me in politely.Boss Chen was already waiting for me in the living room. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in a well-made suit, and he was indescribably capable.But the sad look on his face could be seen, and it must be because he has been worrying about this matter for more than a day or two.

"Master Zhao is really young and promising." Boss Chen started the topic politely, "Where did Master Zhao come from?"

"Boss Chen, I know I look a little too young." I was a little too lazy to explain such a question, "I believe that since you can find me, you must have heard about me from others. What about us? It doesn't depend on age, but on real ability. If you trust me, let's continue talking, if you don't trust me, then I'll leave now."

After I finished speaking, I got up and was about to leave. Boss Chen immediately stopped me and said apologetically, "Master Zhao, you are talking about that. I, Mr. Chen, was the one who disrespected me just now."

"Forget it, don't talk about so many other things. Let's talk about the problem quickly." I was a little annoyed by Boss Chen's opening remarks, and said angrily.

"This is Mr. Zhao. For some reason, a ghost house appeared on the second floor of my house." Boss Chen said, "No matter whether it is morning or evening, as soon as you enter that room, you will feel a heart-piercing chill. And every night I could hear muffled voices coming from that room. I heard it with my own ears, but I didn’t dare to go in and see it at the time. See if you can think of a way to get rid of those unclean things get rid of."

When I heard that there was something unclean, I was relieved.This is hard work, and it is basically over after one fight.But I'm a little strange, this shouldn't be a difficult problem, as far as I know, a man named Han Tianqiu who came here - this is a guy with real skills - can't solve it for no reason.

I immediately followed Boss Chen up to the second floor, and when I arrived at the door of that room, I could feel a real chill.It's summer now, and I couldn't help shivering.Boss Chen stood behind me looking a little scared.I looked at the door, frowning even tighter.This coldness is really strange.Because the so-called cold air does not mean that the temperature is really low, but a kind of Yin Qi.Everything in the world is in balance with yin and yang.The same is true for the human body, but if the balance of yin and yang in the outside world is broken, it will easily affect the balance of yin and yang in the human body.Excessive yin qi in the external environment will weaken yang qi, and people may feel chilly and frightened.In fact, if your thermometer is placed there, the temperature will not change.

And the secret method of my master's practice is to practice the three flavors of the human body's own true fire.It can be said that all evils will not invade, and the yang energy will stay forever.Even so, I can feel the cold all over my body, so the cold air is probably released by something at the level of a thousand-year-old corpse.Just kidding, a thousand-year-old corpse appeared in S city.I have seen the real corpse king. I can still vividly remember the scene of entering the mountain with my master in 88.If there was really something powerful hidden here, Boss Chen's family would have died long ago.

Suddenly I felt like I was being tricked, Nima, this is not Yin Qi at all, to put it bluntly, it is cold air!I opened the door and went in, and it was really cold.But I didn't feel the slightest bit of yin, and by this time I was almost sure that I was being tricked.Looking back at Boss Chen dissatisfied, "Boss Chen, is it interesting for you to play like this? If you do this, I will charge by the hour."

"Huh? Why did Master Zhao say that?" Boss Chen said.

"You are sick, right? There is nothing dirty in this room, it's just that you have turned on the air conditioner too much. The temperature insulation here is very good, so it's like a refrigerator." I said very unhappy, and finished speaking If you don't return, you will leave.Boss Chen hurried over and stopped me.

"Oh, Master Zhao, I'm really sorry. I was also scared of being cheated by those charlatans." Boss Chen invited me back to the living room and explained, "There is indeed a problem with my family. I have spent a lot of money to hire me There are more than a dozen Feng Shui masters. But there is no improvement, and there are countless fish in troubled waters. I have no choice but to get such a room. I just want to wipe out those charlatans. I believe that Master Zhao is definitely a true gold that is not afraid of fire of."

"Then can we talk about serious business now?" I said angrily.

Boss Chen respectfully offered me a cup of tea this time, and I picked it up and took a sip.Only then did Boss Chen explain what happened.That was a month ago, and there was an inexplicable stench coming from this villa.After investigation, it was found that the smell came from the basement.That basement is a place where sundries are piled up. Boss Chen can't remember how many years it has been left untouched.If you even open it, you forget where you put it.

The police forced their way in, and the stench was horrific.A withered corpse lay on the ground.After an autopsy, the deceased was a gardener in their family.The cause of death is still unknown. There were no wounds on his body, and there was no sign of poisoning.Although he died of asphyxiation, no strangle marks were found on his neck, nor was there a blockage in his windpipe.It was as if he held his breath and then suffocated himself to death.

At first, the police suspected Boss Chen, but there was no evidence that it was a homicide.The result is nothing.But this was just the beginning. Three days later, several policemen who came to investigate that day also died!The cause of death was exactly the same, all of them died of suffocation.Later, Boss Chen thought it might be that the basement was not clean, so he invited a Taoist priest to do a trick.

I thought I understood it like this, but the day after the practice, Boss Chen's wife died in the bathroom.The same way of death finally made Boss Chen crazy!This time, he spent a lot of money to invite a well-known mage in the circle——Yan Changhong.

When I heard Yan Changhong, I couldn't help being a little surprised. I know Yan Changhong.That is a really capable alien, born with yin and yang eyes, able to see some unclean things since childhood.Later, I received advice from an expert to enter Taoism. I am over 50 years old this year. If I had been considered a real half-immortal before.Even now in the 21st century, he is an absolute master.In today's words, it is the conscience of the industry.

"What did he say?" I still want to hear the old man's opinion.

"Master Yan didn't say what the problem is, but just kept shaking his head." Boss Chen said helplessly, "Before leaving, I told me that no one should live here anymore. If you have to live here, remove all the mirrors in the house." Take it away. But that mirror in the basement can't be taken away."

"Leave now?" I thought this guy was too irresponsible, "It's obvious that something has been seen. Why didn't you say it all? Are you short of money?"

"I can also see that Master Yan has stopped talking, but how to increase the money, Master Yan just refuses to say. It is dangerous for him to say anything." Boss Chen said dejectedly, "Later, I hired a few more mages. , but it’s useless. I can only withstand all the mirrors in the house, and there are no more accidents. But I can’t do it like this. Later, I heard about your ability from a friend. Did you come please?"

"Well, I probably understand." I nodded and said, "Take me to the basement first."

"Er—this—" Boss Chen showed a look of embarrassment, and said hesitantly, "That—Master Zhao, that place is really evil, you see, I—"

"All right, all right, I'll go by myself." I gave the fat man a contemptuous look, and walked towards the basement alone.
