Chapter 32: The Haunted House, Ghostly Face, and Ghostly Portrait

  My girlfriend is a goddess

  Xiao Ying burst out laughing and patted the "beauty mark" on her shoulder: "I thought you were talking about something else, let me tell you little sister, when you said there were hairy caterpillars, mice, and cockroaches in the house, I was a bit scared. But when you said there were ghosts, hahaha... as long as the rent is 5,000 yuan, it's fine."

  "The beauty mole" broke out in a cold sweat, dryly laughing and saying: "I knew it, big...big sister, coming from a prestigious university, with scientific knowledge armed to the head, doesn't believe in this set... 5000 is just 5000, not one cent less."

  She immediately signed a contract with Xiaoying, 2 years lease, three bedrooms and one living room, really only charged 5,000 yuan, not even charging agency fees.

  Then the "beauty mole" made a phone call, and the landlord hurried over with a smile on his face. He was a big fat man, and when he heard that we were renting for two years, he laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. He praised us for having good taste in finding a house, then Old Wang started bragging about his own house, saying this is good and that is good.

  I and Xiao Ying are mutually understanding, too lazy to bother with him, just urging him to lead the way quickly.

  The fat guy brought us to the door and then didn't even dare to enter the house, handed over the key to us, pretended to receive a phone call, said he had something to do, turned around and left without looking back, and even ran away in the end.

  What a weird landlord, never seen one like this before.

  I took the key and opened the door. Actually, I was also nervous in my heart, and I didn't know how vicious the dirty things inside the house were.

  The house is pretty much the same as what Mei Ren Zhi said, except that it's a bit darker. Otherwise, everything else is fine. The furniture and electrical appliances are all complete, and each room has wireless TV and broadband internet.

  Originally, it would have been easiest to find clues in this house and ask the neighbors who lived nearby.

  But I found that all the other rooms on the entire floor had their doors tightly closed, with dust accumulated at the entrance. It was clear that there were no other residents here!

  I couldn't help but shiver, no one rents here, is it because of the haunted house?

  If it's really like this, then this dirty thing is too vicious.

  After moving the luggage in, Xiaoying said to me: "Big bad egg, I'm going to set off immediately to find Zishan Daozhang on Qingyun Mountain. You clean up the room first and find out the dirty things."

  She added another sentence: "In order to prevent you from harming Xiao Yu, this time I will take her with me."

  I was startled: "You want me to find the dirty things by myself?"

  Xiao Ying looked at me with an expression of utter disdain: "Su Haohao, you just came back from that haunted place in Old Village, why is your tiny pea-sized courage still unchanged?"

  I shook my head like a windmill: "No way, no way, the dirty things in the house must be very fierce. Look around, nobody dares to live here, I'm done for."

  Sakura waved her hand dismissively and said, "The ghosts that form from people who die at home are of a very low level, far inferior to the likes of Lila's evil spirit. Moreover, her physical body has already been destroyed, leaving behind only her soul. She's just slightly more ferocious than an ordinary ghost, knows some basic ghost magic, and has a terrifying appearance. People with weak nerves will become psychologically panicked when they see her, experience hallucinations, and do some abnormal things."

  I've actually heard this theory before, that these ghosts can't directly cause physical harm to humans, they only affect people's psychology, and often it's just self-inflicted harm. In the end, it's all psychological. As long as your mind is strong enough, you won't be easily scared by ghosts.

  However, it's one thing to say so, but if you really encounter it, saying that you're not afraid at all is impossible.

  Sakura looked at me still hesitating and said with a sigh, "Look at your tiny courage, shouldn't you go train it a bit? Otherwise, how will you protect the two beauties in the future?"

  Xiao Ying was very fierce and put a big hat on me.

  I wanted to cry but had no tears, so I hardened my heart and nodded.

  Xiao Ying stuck a few more talismans on the gate, so that the dirty things inside couldn't get out and the dirty things outside couldn't come in.

  "Sakura, would you mind sticking a few of those stickers on me?"

  I told Sakura.

  "Hehe...... Then may I ask Su Haohao, are you a fierce ghost, an evil spirit, or a zombie?"

  Sakura burst out laughing as if she had encountered the most hilarious thing, holding her stomach in laughter.

  "Stinky little Sakura, how dare you curse people like that? I'll punish you!"

  I was furious and quickly hugged her, giving a peck on her snow-white lovely face.

  Sakura's pretty face turned red to the roots of her ears, she spat out a sound, and then I felt the soft flesh at my waist being pinched by a small hand, which rotated 360 degrees with great force.

  I let out a miserable cry of pain and hastily raised my hands in surrender.

  Sakura gave me a good scolding and only stopped when she saw that I had shown remorse.

  Then she said that, in general, this kind of paper charm cannot be stuck on one's own body. This kind of paper charm is used to stick ghosts and zombies. Because this kind of paper charm is a yang attribute thing, sticking it on the human body will cause it to conflict with the human body's yang energy. Either the human energy overpowers the charm energy, making the paper charm ineffective; or the charm energy overpowers the human energy, which is bad for the human body.

  Then I suddenly realized!

  Then, Xiaoying told me about the uses of talismans in different colors.

  Yellow Talisman, used to deal with ordinary ghosts;

  Blue talisman, used to fix the spirit of ordinary people or ghosts.

  Seal used to compress and restrain ghosts.

  The above three symbols require a certain level of moral integrity to use, ordinary people can't bring out their wonderful effects.

  Huǒ Fú, also known as the small cherry blossom sticker on the door, I used it in Jiù Lóu Cūn before. When encountering dirty things, it will automatically emit flames to burn ghosts and evil spirits. This symbol can be used by ordinary people, is a more valuable talisman, and is very difficult to draw.

  Green symbol, also known as "purification symbol", can eliminate the filthy air, evil sounds or illusions emitted by dirty things, making people's hearts calm and peaceful. This is one of the few symbols that can be stuck on a person's body.

  In addition, there are various other colored symbols, including orange, black, white, pink, purple and so on. They can be used separately or in combination to achieve various magical effects.

  Familiar with the subtleties of different talismans and able to use them in combination as needed, this is an essential skill for a high-level Taoist priestess.

  In fact, ordinary people need to use talismans, must be ignited with matches, and thrown onto the dirty object with force to exert its magical effect; while shallow Taoist priests or nuns need to drive the talisman with finger gestures and incantations.

  However, for a high-level divine priestess like Xiao Ying who is gifted with exceptional abilities, she doesn't need to use incantations or hand seals, and can cast spells at will. Of course, sometimes she would still use incantations or hand seals, as this could amplify the power of her talismans, allowing her to achieve a decisive victory in one strike, such as when she was dealing with Ying Hongdong at Guangfu Third Hospital earlier.

  Xiao Ying introduced me to various talismans and their uses, then gave me some green and fire talismans.

  Then she set off with Jiang Fengniao.

  After they left, I felt a chill in my heart and stuck a green talisman on myself, feeling a little better.

  At this time I took out Nokia mobile phone again, found that it had been out of power. So I plugged in the electricity and turned it on.

  As soon as I opened it, there was a string of message tones. When I flipped through them, there were over a dozen messages from an unfamiliar number, but the messages were full of concern and worry. It turned out to be messages from Little Nurse, scolding me for turning off my phone and making her extremely worried.

  I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart, so I casually sent her a message saying that I'm fine now and thanked her for her concern. At this time, I didn't have the mind or time to flirt with her, because I still had important things to do: finding all the dirty stuff in the house.

  Three rooms were roughly looked at, and there was nothing wrong with them.

  It was just when I was adjusting the position of the tables and chairs in the hall that I saw a black-and-white photograph at the foot of the wall.

  The photo has turned yellowish, with some incense sticks and ash scattered around it.

  It's indeed something dirty, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.

  Pick up the photo and take a look, it's a face that is extremely eerie and terrifying.

  As soon as I saw this face, I couldn't help but jump up in shock. This face was really too terrifying.

  How can I describe this face?

  I thought about it, this face should have been smashed to pieces from the start, like a watermelon that fell to the ground and split into four or five pieces. Later on, someone pieced it back together and sewed it up with needle and thread. As a result, the entire face is uneven, with cracks here and there, bulging out in some places, and densely stitched with black threads.

  What makes me even more creeped out is that on the right side of the photo, there's a line of small characters: "Lily after plastic surgery, keepsake."
