I said with a smile, "Reinforce what Old Liu?"

"If Banxianzhuang doesn't have a conspiracy and it really is a fierce demon breaking free, we must reinforce Old Liu as soon as possible."

"Now that Banxianzhuang is full of schemes, why would we reinforce him? We can just go back slowly."

"When it comes to playing tricks, that old thing Old Liu could use half his brain and be their ancestor."

"I could see what was going on outside Banxianzhuang. Old Liu should have figured it out already from the inside."

"I bet you, Old Liu has probably already squeezed the last drop out of the people in Banxianzhuang."

"By the time we get back, he might have bled them dry."

Wang Xiaohuan squinted and said, "Can you not be so disgusting when you talk? Watch your image. You're a Hall Master!"

Wang Xiaohuan practically gritted out the words "You're a Hall Master."

I nonchalantly said, "I'm a Hall Master outside. In front of you guys, am I even close to a Hall Master? I'm just a waiter in the Liangjie Hall, okay?"

"Let's go! Let's find Leng Gou and the others. If we're too late and they get killed, we're in trouble!"

As I was talking about reinforcing Ye Yang, they had already arrived in front of the Kong Family Mansion.

After Xia Mengying dripped blood into the porcelain bowl in front of the corpse, a path through the weeds on the hillside seemed to have been carved out by ghosts and gods. Ye Yang and the others followed that path to the Kong family.

The road leading to the Kong Family Mansion was indeed different from what we had seen. If you walked forward from the position where we were looking from the hillside, you would be led to the other side. You could see a large courtyard over there as well, but it was much smaller than the Kong family's.

Ye Yang said that from a feng shui perspective, that should be a branch family that had separated from the Kong family.

There might even be a horizontal plaque with the words "Kong Family" hanging on the door of that house.

This place, however, was the true Kong Family Mansion!

The Kong Family Mansion, long deserted, had an air of decay everywhere. Only the wind chimes hanging beneath the roof tiles of the courtyard wall still made a chilling sound when the night wind blew.

Ye Yang looked up at the wind chimes and said, "Did any of you hear the bells when we came over?"

"No! This is the first time!" Wang Butcher's expression was also a bit solemn. "We encountered wind four times on the way here. This is the fifth time, and the only time the wind chimes have been blown."

Bells are just a decoration in the eyes of ordinary people, but not so in the eyes of sorcerers.

If we trace the origin of bells, their original function was as musical instruments, belonging to the metal category of the Eight Tones. They are shaped like bells, but much more important.

Ancient musical instruments were not originally used for appreciation, but for worshiping gods.

Bells have long been used as magical implements in the art of spells, the greatest function of which is to summon ghosts and suppress souls!

According to feng shui, there are also rules about where to hang wind chimes. Hanging them anywhere might attract something to your home.

The Kong Family Mansion had hundreds of wind chimes hanging along the courtyard walls, each about a foot apart. It would be hard not to be suspicious.

Wang Butcher looked up at the wind chimes and said, "Where there's a bell, there's a spirit; when the bell rings, the spirit comes."

Wang Butcher seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually reminding Ye Yang and Xia Mengying to be careful.

Ye Yang pushed open the gate and walked into the Kong family compound. As soon as the three of them stood firm, the gate behind them slammed shut. At the same time, the wind chimes outside the gate made a faint, cold sound, like hundreds of ghosts whispering on the wall in mournful laughter.

Wang Butcher lightly stomped his left foot on the ground, creating a hole. A pile of white bones was blasted out of the hole by Wang Butcher's Zhen Qi (true energy).

Wang Butcher glanced at the bones and shook his head. He was telling Ye Yang that the dead person buried underneath was not a member of the Kong family.

According to legend, all the members of the Kong family were buried in the courtyard after their deaths. However, human bones that have been buried for hundreds of years, even if they haven't turned to dust, wouldn't be so well preserved.

The person Wang Butcher kicked out had died no more than five years ago.

It looks like someone has been killing people here!

The disappearance of the lumberjacks twenty years ago and the disappearance of the students ten years ago, is it just a coincidence, or is it the result of someone's deliberate arrangement?

Ye Yang slowly walked towards the center of the Kong family compound. According to legend, this was where the Kong family's gold mountain had been piled up!

As soon as Ye Yang's footsteps landed, the sword in his hand was already out of its sheath. The tip of the sword was inserted into the ground and lightly shaken outwards. A lot of gold and silver mixed with dirt was shaken out of the ground by Ye Yang.

Wang Butcher said, "The legend is true?"

Ye Yang said expressionlessly, "Using gold to suppress ghosts is a method used by Gongmen (government) sorcerers. Back then, the person who spread the news should also be the forensic examiner who had the Kong family buried on the spot."

"Something's not right here!"

Before Ye Yang could finish his words, he saw lights suddenly appear in the main hall of the Kong family, illuminating the hall brightly. At the position of the main entrance of the Kong family, a woman in red with disheveled hair appeared.

The clothes on the other person's body, which seemed to be stained red with blood, looked exceptionally distinct under the light.
