Chapter 105: The Haunted House Has 'Ghosts'

  When you hear Bi Xia speak without reserve, you can feel that she is a straightforward and uninhibited woman.

  "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person who will charge an exorbitant price. I hope our transaction can be completed happily and satisfactorily."

  After seeing Bi Xia smile and nod, Yi Tian continued to ask: "Aren't you busy these days? Do you often go out of town to film? If so, it's really a bit troublesome. You know I'm studying at Beijing University now, and I can't take long leaves of absence. A few days are fine, but if the time is too long, I won't be able to go with you."

  "Temporarily, I won't be going out of town. Recently, I've been filming a modern TV series in Yanjing, which will take several months. Often, I'll be busy until very late at night. How about this: you leave me your contact information, and if I'm shooting too late, I can let you know. Also, I'll give you another key to the villa, so if you come over, you can just go in directly without waiting for me outside. Is that okay?"

  "Alright, I'll do as you said." Then Yitian immediately gave the pager number to the other party. After getting the villa key, they chatted for a few sentences and bid farewell.

  Watching Yitian's departing figure, Bixia felt as if she had a feeling of clearing clouds and seeing the sun, and the spark of hope in her heart gradually ignited, placing all her hopes on Yitian.

  Today is Sunday, anyway there's nothing to do, Yi Tian casually found a place to eat breakfast and then took the bus to Putianju.

  After entering, it was found that the old Taoist master and apprentice, as well as shop assistant Xiao Liu, were all present. However, the old Taoist master and apprentice had furrowed brows and lowered heads in contemplation, looking very troubled. Even when Yi Tian entered, they didn't notice.

  Xiao Liu saw Yi Tian first and said enthusiastically: "Brother Yi, you're here."

  Yitian nodded and smiled in greeting.

  The old Taoist master and his disciples also reacted, looked up to see Yi Tian, their eyes began to shine, as if they had seen the savior, "Hehe, Yi Tian, how is it? Have you gone to see those few businesses?" The old Taoist asked.

  Seeing the other party's expression as if there was something that required themselves, Yi Tian said: "I've taken on a business deal, things are a bit complicated, and it can't be finished in a short while. I'll have to wait until after the matter is settled before determining the price based on the specific situation. Dao Chang, did you guys encounter some kind of trouble? I just came in and saw that all of you looked worried."

  "Ah, it's still you who has a keen eye for things, one glance and you've figured it out. To be honest, we really have run into some trouble, it's business-related matters, looks like we'll need your help again!" The old Taoist said with some resignation.

  "Yes, Yitian, this matter can only be handled by you!" Meng Meiliang echoed.

  "What's wrong with that? You guys get me business, I help you solve some problems, it's perfectly normal. Tell me, what kind of trouble have you run into?" Yi Tian said with a smile.

  Several people sat down on the sofa, and then Little Liu poured a cup of tea for each person. Afterwards, the old Taoist let out a sigh, shook his head, glanced at Meng Meiliang, and indicated that he should speak.

  Meng Meiliang said after the meeting: "It's like this, Yi Tian, do you still remember that haunted house where we first met?"

  "Remember, isn't that the one at the amusement park?" As soon as he said this, Yi Tian furrowed his brow, thought of something and said: "Could it be that someone else was scared to death there again?"

  The old Taoist master and his disciples nodded in unison, indicating that this was indeed the case.

  "What's going on? You guys tell me carefully." Yi Tian had felt that the terrifying haunted house was not quite right last time, two young people were scared to death inside, it was indeed very mysterious.

  Meng Meiliang said, "Half a month ago, Guo Pangzi introduced a friend over, named Tian Wang, who is also the boss of that haunted house. This person does many businesses, but none are very big, and can be considered a small wealthy boss, with the haunted house being one of them."

  "When he came, he told us that someone had died in the haunted house and asked us to go there to perform an exorcism ritual, and also take a look at the feng shui and see if there was anything unclean. We thought it would be an easy thing to solve, so we went. After looking around inside the haunted house, everything seemed normal, and we performed the ritual, which seemed to have solved the problem. My master and I told him that there shouldn't be any more problems... But... but just yesterday, someone else died..."

  At this point, Yi Tian involuntarily shook his head. These two masters and apprentices were really fearless in their ignorance. The business of the dead was not that easy to take on!

  "How did you feel when you entered the haunted house? Was it scary?"

  "It's pretty ordinary, anyway, I don't think it's that scary. After the death in the haunted house, Boss Tian made some changes to the interior decorations and removed the really scary stuff. It's not like it would scare people to death or anything. I'm just puzzled, if you're so easily scared, why bother going in? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

  "What do you want me to do then? Is there another lead?" Yi Tian continued to ask.

  "That's right, yesterday someone came out and said they saw a ghost inside, a tall and fierce-looking evil spirit. That's why I wanted to ask for your help, we really don't know what to do about that thing." Meng Meiliang said with a bitter face, the old Taoist's expression was even more unpleasant. The two of them were just ordinary people, they would shiver at the sight of a ghost, let alone subdue one.

  After a moment's thought, Yi Tian stood up and said: "Let's go, we can't delay, let's set off now!"

  He immediately took Meng Meiliang to the playground, while the old Taoist was older and didn't let him run back and forth.

  When I arrived at the haunted house, I found that there were still many people around, all of whom were enthusiastically discussing what had happened here.

  A notice from the Administration for Industry and Commerce ordering a suspension of business for rectification was posted at the entrance of the haunted house, sternly demanding that the haunted house make rectifications.

  Before arriving here, Meng Meiliang had already called Tian Wang, the boss of the haunted house, so he arrived ahead of time.

  When he saw Meng Mei Liang, Tian Wang quickly walked over to greet him. This man was about 45 years old, not very tall and slightly chubby, with a natural smile on his face and a shaved head.

  Next to him was a young woman, about 26 or 27 years old. She had a tall and slender figure, with curves in all the right places, standing half a head taller than Tian Wang. Her outfit was extremely sexy, although her face was just average, but under the heavy makeup, she still had some charm.

  As they walked over, the young woman was still holding onto Tian Wang's arm, and it was clear that they were a couple.

  "Master Meng, I was just thinking of calling you to come over and take a look with Old Master. I didn't expect you both to come in person! Where's Old Master?" Tian Wang looked around, asking without seeing the old Taoist's figure.

  "Mr. Tian, my master is very busy and doesn't have time to come over for the time being. He asked me to come over first and take a look. By the way, let me introduce you to this friend of my master's, Master Yi Tian. He's an expert at subduing ghosts and monsters, and compared to my master, he's even more skilled!" Meng Meiliang praised, having personally witnessed Yi Tian's abilities. In fact, he knew that Yi Tian was far superior to the old Taoist priest, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

  Tian Wang looked at Yi Tian and immediately furrowed his brow, but it only lasted for a moment before he smiled and said: "Haha, so it's Master Yi Tian, I've long admired you."

  Yi Tian saw the distrust in his opponent's eyes at a glance, and when he looked at Tian Wang's expression at this time, he deeply felt that this person's mind was deep, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as a smiling tiger.

  When meeting people, speak their language; when meeting ghosts, speak theirs. It seems Tian Wang is that kind of master who can adapt to any situation.

  When Tian Wang came over, Yi Tian took a look at his facial features and found that this guy's luck wasn't very good, with some signs of financial loss.

  "Haha, Boss Tian's great name is also well-known to me, and today I see that it's indeed extraordinary! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Yi Tian's flattering skills were honed through long-term practice, and he could make others blush with praise without changing his own expression. He was just as smooth when facing Tian Wang in front of him.

  Tian Wang was taken aback by his words and thought to himself, "This kid is not ordinary."

  "I didn't expect Master Yi to be so skilled at such a young age, Tian Mou admires him. I suppose you two should also know that someone saw a ghost in this haunted house of mine. I hope you can take a look and help me solve this matter. If you can, I will definitely thank you greatly!"

  As they spoke, several people arrived at the entrance of the haunted house. The young woman said to Tian Wangjiao, "You go in with them, it's scary inside, I'm not going in."

  "Hehe, okay, baby, you just wait outside for a bit, I'll be out in a minute." Tian Wang said with his head raised and an extremely flattering expression.

  Yi Tian shook his head and smiled, wanting to say that Tian Wang's appearance was really nothing special. He was short and fat, and if he were thrown into the bustling streets, he would be invisible in the crowd. Yet, there were still people willing to follow him, including this young woman who was quite pretty and had a good figure. It was truly unknown whether she liked him for who he was or for the money in his pocket.

  After several people entered the haunted house, Yi Tian took a look at the various sets inside and found that they were indeed not as scary as Meng Meiliang had said, and were not enough to scare people to death.

  After a period of walking and observation, Yi Tian opened his Heavenly Eye, carefully examining all the situations inside, but did not discover any suspicious places.

  The environment inside was very dim, and there wasn't even a hint of ghostly presence. Moreover, he carefully looked around the ground and didn't find anything unusual.

  At the same time, there is no yin energy here at all, and the yang energy is still very strong. It should be due to the large flow of people in the playground, which has been accumulated for a long time.

  So it's unlikely for a ghost to appear in such a place, no, it should be said that it's impossible for a ghost to appear in this kind of place.

  Yōkai also have a certain lifespan, and when they reach their limit, they will perish unless they can prolong their life through continuous training and advancement. Places with extremely strong yang energy are what yōkai fear as dangerous lands.

  According to analysis, it can be inferred that through the Heavenly Eye, no ghostly presence was found here. If there were any, they must have come from somewhere else.

  Even if the yang energy here at night is still very strong, if ghosts come, there will be no benefit, and it will accelerate extinction, which is tantamount to seeking death.

  Moreover, all the things that happened here took place in broad daylight, and the yang energy was even more intense. Moreover, ghosts and monsters would not dare to venture out during the day, or else they would have lost their lives before they even reached their destination.

  So Yitian thought for a while and came to the conclusion that this matter was not caused by ghosts, but there was something fishy about it. In that case, there was only one possibility... it was man-made!

  But some people say they found a ghost here, I suppose this is the real 'ghost'!
