Chapter 688: Strange House
"Shangxiu, this is the last house we can see today."
The sun was scorching hot. Xiao Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt his mouth was dry.
Although he is an accomplished monk in Qi training, he has not yet reached the point where he is immune to the cold and heat. He accompanied the guests beside him for half of the fairy city. At this time, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
However, as a new dental professional in the dental shop, Xiao Song gritted his teeth and insisted on winning this business.
"If the superior is not satisfied, I will find some suitable sets for you tomorrow!"
Not satisfied?
In fact, Wang Chen was quite satisfied with the house he had just seen.
Although the area is not large, it has a courtyard and a quiet room. The location of the single-family house is quite good, and the aura is quite abundant.
The problem is that the rent for such a house is very expensive.
Wang Chen, who was so expensive that he once owned tens of millions of spiritual stones, also felt pain in his heart. After calculating his daily expenses, he still didn't make up his mind to risk it all.
In addition, the landlord is very difficult to talk to. He is not willing to lose even one spiritual stone. He also pretends that "I don't have to worry about renting my house." He condescendingly looks down on Wang Chen, a "poor guy" who "wants to rent a good house but doesn't have any spiritual stones." .
This makes people very unhappy.
What's helpless is that you really don't have to worry about renting a good house in Yongle Fairy City. The rent is so expensive!
"Thanks a lot."
But Wang Chen had no problem with Yaren who worked hard to accompany him to look at houses and find houses.
There was even a hint of apology.
"If it really doesn't happen, forget it."
With that said, Wang Chen stuffed a few spiritual stones into Xiao Song's hands: "You can accept this hard work."
Holding the spirit stone in his hand, Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, then looked around and took Wang Chen aside.
He lowered his voice and said, "Shang Xiu, my uncle's family has a house similar to this house, but it has not been rented out. The rent is very cheap."
Wang Chen understood immediately: "What's the problem?"
Xiao Song smiled bitterly and said, "That's a weird house."
"A weird house?"
This was the first time Wang Chen heard this term.
Young Master Xiao Song had to explain.
The so-called weird house refers to a house where weird things often happen, and usually no one wants to live in it.
It's a haunted house!
Wang Chen was even more puzzled: "Since something strange has happened, why didn't you report it to the patrol department?"
This is the job of the Evil Suppression Department he just joined!
What a coincidence.
However, Xiao Song's answer made Wang Chen dumbfounded.
It turns out that unless a life is caused or the safety of the neighborhood is affected, such a situation will be reported to the patrol office, and the patrol office will send someone to deal with it, which will require a high fee.
The patrol department is a large yamen in the fairy city. Is it possible for an ordinary person to come and go as soon as a police officer is called upon?
Xiao Song's uncle was firstly reluctant to bear the expense, and secondly, he was worried that it might not be able to solve the problem even if the patrol officer came.
But if you invite people, you still have to pay for the spirit stones!
"No way?"
Wang Chen felt it was unbelievable—it was just a strange house, and even the inspectors from the patrol department couldn't solve it?
This is not the technological world of his previous life. He has a blind spot for metaphysics. If he casts a spell and uses a talisman to transcend the afterlife, can't it still remove the unclean things?
It's possible!
In fact, similar strange houses are not isolated cases. Xiao Song knows of more than a dozen.
These strange houses are basically vacant or abandoned. Some people who do not believe in evil or rely on their own cultivation have moved in and moved out quickly, keeping secret of what happened during their stay.
In fact, the patrol department also investigated some strange houses, but basically nothing happened.
The spooky house is not a haunted house, it only scares people but does not kill!
After understanding the situation, Wang Chen simply took Yaren to a nearby teahouse to rest. While drinking a pot of spiritual tea, he asked for more information to decide whether to go see the house.
In order to do Wang Chen's business, Xiao Song knew everything and said everything.
It turned out that this house was used by his uncle to house his outhouse.
The other party is a kind-hearted Ji Fang singer. Because she is charming and considerate, she is so favored by Uncle Song that she neglects his real wife.
But his Taoist couple was not a good quarrel, and her natal family was quite powerful, so they immediately gathered a group of helpers to ransack the foreign house.
They caught the singer, blocked her magic power, stripped her naked and threw her into the street, whipped and humiliated her until the police came to intervene.
The singer was not dead at the time, but she hanged herself from a beam at home after she was rescued.
Later, many strange things happened in this house.
It was said that there was an evil spirit, but neither exorcism nor salvation had any effect.
Xiao Song's uncle was so embarrassed, and something like this happened again, it was really heartbreaking.
He originally wanted to sell the house, but the incident was too big and everyone knew it. Who is willing to spend a high price to buy an unlucky and weird house?
Uncle Xiao Song didn't want to sell it at a low price, so he entrusted Xiao Song to rent it out.
This person's abacus is very good. If someone rents it and lives in it for a few years without any problems, it will naturally be able to get rid of the reputation of being a weird house.
It will be easy to resell at the normal price.
As a result, it backfired and two tenants who were greedy for cheap were scared away!
"So you just want to rent it to me?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Do I look like I've been taken advantage of?"
"Young ones don't dare!"
Xiao Song hurriedly explained: "I just feel that my cultivation is unusual. Maybe I have the ability to eliminate evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. I am not afraid of things in the weird house, so..."
Of course he had selfish motives for selling this strange house to Wang Chen, but he did not dare to deceive Wang Chen in any way.
"Let's go."
Wang Chen threw down a few spiritual stones, stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
The other party has good eyesight, and what he is least afraid of is evil and weird things. If the house is suitable, it is not impossible to buy it!
Uncle Song's house was not far away, and its location was better than the one Wang Chen had seen before.
Just because the house has been unoccupied for a long time, it is still very cold and filled with an uncomfortable smell on a hot day. Moreover, the yard is full of fallen leaves and the room is full of dust.
Xiao Song was embarrassed: "Shang Xiu..."
Wang Chen raised his hand to interrupt him and asked directly: "Ask your uncle if this house is for sale?"
At normal prices, he couldn't afford this house.
But if it's a weird house, it's really possible to get it.
Wang Chen planned to give it a try.
After receiving Xiao Song's letter, his uncle, the landlord, hurried over.
This high-ranking cultivator from the Zi Mansion has an elegant appearance, a graceful demeanor, and an air of renown.
It's a pity that he knows people well but doesn't know their hearts. His character is really not very good.
But Wang Chen is not a judge in the moral court and has no intention of judging the other party's fault.
He really wanted to buy this house.
The problem was that the other party's initial offer was very high, which made Wang Chen suspect that he had entered the wrong place!
