    Chapter 165.

    Crap old broker is not lying, this female ghost really looks like this. Xu Qi’an’s heart felt a chill.

    But he wasn’t scared, creepy was a natural reaction as a former normal person seeing a ghost in reality.

    After all, he’s the one who’s afraid to go to the bathroom after watching a horror movie, and when he can’t hold it in, he uses a pulsating drink bottle.

    The female ghost in white froze and looked at them for a moment, seemingly sensing a threat, the corners of her mouth cracked open to the base of her ears, dark blood flowed, and she hissed silently, lunging at the two.

    At the bottom of the deep well, the Yin Qi was several times stronger, stimulating Xu Qi’an’s skin to bulge with goose bumps.

    I don’t know how to deal with spirits. Let’s give her a knife directly . Xu Qi An gripped the hilt of his blade, intending to grab Chu Caiwei’s front, but the little beauty in the yellow dress pressed her hand, preventing him from doing so .

    As she pinched her hand, the Taiji fish in the center of the feng shui disk rotated, and Xu Qi’an saw the character “ki” in the Heavenly Stem light up.

    A wave of dark light rushed out of the Feng Shui disk, wrapping the female ghost and taking her into the Feng Shui disk.

    Chu Caiwei retrieved the Feng Shui disk and held it in her hand, twisting her head towards Xu Qi’an and smiling sweetly before pointing to the bottom of the well and swinging her waist to swim over.

    The two men surveyed the bottom of the well for a few moments with no luck.

    “Wow.” Xu Qi’an drilled out of the water, there was nowhere to borrow strength under the water, his hands propped up on the arms of the well and climbed upwards, turning back:

    “Grab my legs.”

    Chu Caiwei let out an “oh” and hugged Xu Qi’an’s legs, letting him lead her upwards.

    Xu Qi’an sensed it

    “What did you say?” Chu Caiwei didn’t hear clearly.

    “Nothing, you’re going to have to climb up some more, you’re going to have to yank my pants down. I’ve got a shank above me, enough for you to hitch a ride.”

    Chu Caiwei searched one by one, but did not find where Xu Qi’an said the handle was.

    Coming out from the bottom of the well, Xu Qi’an ran his qi to steam dry the soggy well water, while Chu Caiwei pinched a hand trick and transferred a flash of orange light from the Feng Shui disk, walking around her body a few times, the water vapor filling the air but not destroying her clothes.

    After her body became cool again, Chu Caiwei said, “It’s just an ordinary resentful soul.”

    Just an ordinary disgruntled spirit? Then how did she maintain it for so long Xu Qi’an frowned, the old broker had said that the haunting had lasted for more than two years.

    Chu Caiwei’s next words solved the doubts, “The bottom of the well is connected to the underground dark current, that’s how the resentment in the well came. My guess is that there is a yin vein in the ground.”

    Xu Qi’an estimated that yin chakra was a term used in feng shui, and nodded indistinctly, “So your purification didn’t work, and the spells of the previous masters didn’t work because they weren’t warlocks.”

    Chu Caiwei nodded her head vigorously, indicating that she was proud to be a warlock, “Don’t want this mansion, the Yin vein is under the ground, the feng shui is extremely poor. Living there for a long time will cause bad luck to haunt you.”

    “Why not, this mansion is old and cheap.” Xu Qi’an gave her a strange look, “You think I’m looking for you to do something, really just to take a look? You have to help me get the feng shui right.”

    “Then how tiring ah .” Chu Caiwei’s small face was bitter, it was already hard enough for her to learn alchemy every day, “Then you have to”

    “Gotta add more food, I know.” Xu Qi’an said.

    That’s more like it . She bristled, reared up to the ridge, and shouted down toward the bottom, “Send me to the sky.”

    You’re going shoulder-to-shoulder with the moon. Oh, there is no moon today, that’s fine! Xu Qi’an spat in his heart, jumped onto the roof, and formed a small bench with his hands.

    Chu Caiwei jumped up, her toes pointing at his palm, and by using Wufu’s terrifyingly strange strength, her lithe body was like a sharp arrow rushing into the night sky.

    In the process, she utilized the divine power of the Feng Shui disk to summon wisps of wind to hold up her body and slow her descent.

    Clear Light Eyes opened, Chu Caiwei overlooked the entire mansion, then turned her head head, observing the area around the mansion, observing the feng shui of the entire large area.

    Chu Caiwei drifted down like a falling leaf, frowning, “Strange, the feng shui of this area is good, it shouldn’t form a Yin Vein ah .”

    Is it because you’re too bad at business . Xu Qi’an didn’t dare to spit and asked, “Why don’t you take another look? Or go back to the Si Tian Supervisor to seek help from your senior brothers.”

    “No need to be so troublesome,” Chu Caiwei waved her hand, “Let’s directly psychicize the female ghost and empathize with her to see how she died. If there are no clues, I’ll look for my senior brothers for help.”

    “Hurry up oh, I have things to do tomorrow.” Xu Qi’an said.

    Tomorrow to go to the Yamen to find Wei Yuan, if Dad is willing to hold down the press for him, then all is well. If dad doesn’t care about him, he can only hide, and subsequently find another opportunity to see how to solve the impact of the two-fifths backlash.

    And this mansion was the stronghold Xu Qi’an had found for himself.

    This place is haunted, usually no one will be close to it, and it is not a place where dignitaries gather, it is a distance from the main street, and it is not an area where the city’s forbidden soldiers and night watchmen focus their attention.

    Chu Caiwei said, “The female ghost’s yin qi is too heavy, and to empathize with her, you need to withstand the yin qi entering your body, which is not good for a woman’s body. It has to come from you, martial artists have strong qi and blood, there will not be any after-effects.”

    “Yes!”

    Chu Caiwei took off the Feng Shui disk, her lips opened and closed, and the Taiji fish slowly rotated, and a faint black mist was ejected, floating three inches above the surface of the Feng Shui disk.

    The black mist was restless and chaotic, but it couldn’t leave the Feng Shui disk, and each time it was bounced back above the Taiji fish by the clear light wall.

    Chu Caiwei flexed her fingers and flicked, “Go!”

    The black mist shot out and crashed into Xu Qi’an’s brow.

    Xu Qi’an’s body went cold, a chill rising from his spine, and then he sensed thoughts filled with resentment, madness, and fear.

    This mass of intention frantically impacted his Yuan Shen, trying to control the body, and suddenly, the female ghost, as if sensing something, turned quiet . No, it was trembling.

    This caused Xu Qi’an to dismiss the idea of suppressing the resentful soul with his mind and carefully perceive the female ghost’s consciousness.

    Is she aware of Monk Shinshu’s presence. The monk is asleep, or he might have destroyed the ghost.

    His intention wrapped the resentful soul, and the two developed empathy, and in the next moment, an unfamiliar image surfaced, just like playing a movie.

    The woman was originally the daughter of a rich family in Taikang County, and because she was so beautiful, the people who asked for her hand in marriage broke through the threshold. According to the normal course of her life, she would have married into a good family and lived a peaceful life.

    But a certain trip changes a life; in a secluded alley, traffickers take her by force and she is sent to a mansion in the capital.

    The mansion was inhabited by many women just like her.

    They did the same thing, that is, they slept with the guests who came in and out of the mansion every night for them to play with.    They addressed each other as “Lord”, obviously people with official status. The adults who took off their official robes were even more beastly than the animals, wantonly playing with the women in the mansion.

    The female ghost has served many adults. Her heart is filled with pain and resentment, but she is afraid of death and can only endure the humiliation.

    After a few years of this, she was spotted by a customer, became that customer’s exclusive lover, and her situation changed for the better.

    That guest’s name was Tamraha, a medium-sized, burly man with a big pie face and single eyelid.

    The cause of her death was a certain chance overhearing of a conversation between Ramlaha and a great man.

    The words “Yunzhou”, “artillery” and “instruments” were mentioned in the conversation.

    In the backyard of the mansion there was a well of transfiguration, in which many women who had killed themselves or were tossed to their deaths by their guests were buried. After the women were killed, they were also thrown into that well.

    She died and turned into a stern ghost, but was trapped in a well, and by coincidence, she followed the dark current at the bottom of the well to this place.

    And nourished by the grievances overflowing from the dark current, it has remained until now, and the soul has not been annihilated.

    In this fragment of memory, Xu Qi’an saw many familiar faces, especially the conversation on the eve of the woman’s death, where he saw the great man who spoke with Tamraha through the woman’s vision.

    Minister of Labor of the Qi Party!

    “Whew,” Xu Qi’an opened his eyes and let out the pent-up air in his chest.

    This empathy is so not human.

    It is also affected by the female ghost’s resentment, pain, and despair.

    Fortunately, he insisted on observing and sharpening his Yuan Shen every day, and his willpower had grown greatly; if he were an ordinary person, he would probably have depression or schizophrenia.

    “There seems to be an unexpected gain” Chu Caiwei looked at him, and during the empathy, she watched Xu Qi’an’s face twist repeatedly, sometimes hideously, sometimes painfully, sometimes sadly.

    These were certainly not emotions that belonged to him, but originated from that woman. But just what kind of experience was it that made a woman possess so many negative emotions.

    Chu Caiwei’s fingertip pointed at Xu Qi’an’s brow, pulling out the female ghost and resealing it in the Feng Shui disk.

    That Tamraha doesn’t seem to be from the Central Plains. The western race is characterized by a high nose and deep eyes, the southern barbarians are characterized by blue eyes, and the northerners are dark-skinned and possess an ancient beast bloodline with a somewhat inhuman appearance . Tamraha is more like the ethnic characteristics of the areas ruled by the Witch God Cult.

    But how did the Witch God Cult get involved with Yunzhou? Yunzhou is in the southeast of Dafeng. Although there were only words, it seemed that the Ministry of Public Works had been sending advanced instruments to the Witch God Cult or Yunzhou.

    “This matter involves collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, I must report to Wei Yuan immediately” Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an made a long story short and told Chu Caiwei about the matter.

    Chu Caiwei was puzzled after hearing this, “After being tortured in life, the grievances do not dissipate after death, they do not necessarily become a severe ghost, but if the number accumulates, the grievances will be overwhelming, if there is a place like this in the inner city, the watchman would have found it long ago ah.”

    “We’ll talk about this later . Oh yeah, you return the mirror to me.” Xu Qi’an said.

    He is now going to be meritorious, not afraid of the so-called “corruption” charge, the mirror naturally do not have to hand over to Chu Caiwei custody.

    Are you kidding? There’s over 900 taels of gold in there.

    Xu Qi’an led Chu Caiwei toward the night watchman’s office, and along the way, he ran into the four gongs on duty and was stopped for questioning.

    “It’s me.” Xu Qi’an flashed his waistband.

    “Lord Xu?”

    Despite being at the same level, Xu Qi’an, as the number one child sitting down in Wei Yuan, the several gongs didn’t dare to treat him lightly.

    “Why are you still wandering around outside? Today the Ministry of Justice’s Prefectural Office and the Da Lisi sent a large number of people to break into the courthouse and take away many of your colleagues.” A gong said:

    “It is said that you are still on the list, only you are not at the court and have dodged a bullet. Is it that the family can’t return .”

    His meaning is clear. You’re not going to run away.

    “All those arrests?”

    When Xu Qi’an asked, he realized that the four golden gongs who were arrested included Jiang Luchong. And among the silver gongs were Li Yuchun, Min Shan, and Yang Feng, the three silver gongs who were under his command in the Sangpo case.

    Jiang Jinluo is a decent person, even if there is greed, it’s a small greed, how can he also be arrested because he and I have a good relationship, was surnamed Zhu to retaliate. Chun is in deep shit. He didn’t get any money, but he went to jail.

    Sure enough, the surname Zhu’s hostage revenge is targeted, picking Xu Qi’an close people to start, both weakened to beat more people, but also retaliated against the enemy.

    “Wei Gong will definitely save them, this group of clothed beasts really think we’re easy to bully.”

    “Hey, you don’t say, in fact, everyone’s been unclean all these years”

    “Bah, Li Yinluo is always clean, isn’t the same going in.”

    The three gongs were incompetently furious and ranted in front of Xu Qi’an.

    “I heard that His Majesty personally ordered the investigation, so I’m afraid it’s difficult for Duke Wei to do anything about it. The atmosphere in the yamen is extraordinarily frightened and silent today.”

    Xu Qi’an comforted, “There will be a way.”

    The three gongs shook their heads in pessimism and went off on patrol with a sigh.

    Xu Qi’an went all the way back to the government office and went straight to the Haoqi Building, where he was stopped by the guards at the bottom of the building.

    “Lord Wei has rested, no one is to be seen, this is the rule.” The guards were cognizant of Xu Qi’an, it was just that it was nightfall and Wei Yuan was not seeing anyone at this hour.

    “I have important matters, quickly go pass them on.” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice.

    “Lord Xu will come back tomorrow.” The guards were stiff.

    PS: These chapters have to lay ambushes, as well as think about future plots that lead to ambushes, so the writing is slow, and the jams are because of that.
