Chapter 11

I quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and pulled her behind me!

This sudden pull startled Huang Yiyi; she let out a scream, her face full of fear as she asked, "What? A ghost is knocking on the door?"

As she spoke, I could clearly feel her hand, which was gripping my arm, tremble.

I nodded and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, let's move back."

After retreating a few meters, the knocking sound came from outside the door again!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

It was still three knocks, still very rhythmic!

That's right, this wasn't a human knocking, it was a ghost knocking! A human's consciousness is complete, so the knocking wouldn't be so rhythmic. But a ghost's consciousness is fixed, and they are very rigid in their actions, so their knocking is naturally different from that of a normal person.

I quickly took out a yellow paper talisman from my pocket, then raised my middle finger, bit it, and squeezed some blood onto the yellow paper. While drawing the talisman on the paper, I recited, "Heaven is clear, earth is clear, all things are clear, demons and ghosts have no place to hide! Quickly show your true form, what important matter brings you here?"

After reciting, I threw the yellow paper talisman.

With this casual throw, the yellow paper talisman flew out like a stone. Normally, the yellow paper wouldn't fly so straight, but now it hit the door forcefully.

Although it only hit the door, it was as if it had hit the female ghost. I heard a scream from behind the door. Then, the door began to shake violently, and the temperature in the room dropped several degrees instantly.

I had to keep retreating to face this unknown entity.

As the door shook violently, a woman directly passed through the door and walked in. She was wearing white clothes, with disheveled hair and a face full of black aura.

No, to be precise, she wasn't a human, she was a female ghost!

The female ghost's face was deathly pale, with no trace of blood. Her hair covered her forehead, and through the gaps in her hair, I could see a pair of eyes filled with intense resentment. Those eyes were so fierce, as if they could devour me at any moment.

I swallowed hard, and my heart rate involuntarily increased.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?"

This was my first time seeing a ghost. In the past, my grandfather never let me get involved in such matters! He didn't even let me go to graveyards with heavy yin energy, so my life before was no different from that of a normal person.

Although I had a way to deal with her, the fear in my heart was no less.

"Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!" She didn't answer me, but let out a sinister laugh. As she laughed, the air around us became even colder, and a mysterious cold wind blew from her body toward us.

"Mr. Li, what sound is that? Who is laughing? Who are you talking to?" Huang Yiyi, who was behind me, was trembling all over. She lifted her head and looked around, clearly unable to see the white-clad female ghost.

It was better that she couldn't see it; if she did, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

I didn't answer her, but said to the white-clad female ghost, "No matter who sent you, get out of here quickly."

After speaking, I took out three copper coins and threw them at the female ghost. As the coins hit her, I heard a scream, and the female ghost immediately turned into smoke and disappeared into thin air.

As she left, the temperature in the room gradually returned to normal.

I felt a bit hasty after driving her away. Actually, I could have kept her to ask who sent her. After all, it was my first time seeing a ghost, and I was too anxious!

Huang Yiyi was still trembling behind me. I turned around and looked at her, who was full of fear, and said, "It's okay, she's gone."

"Her?" Huang Yiyi's eyes darted around the room, and she swallowed hard, "Was it really a ghost?"

I nodded and said, "It was a ghost! But not the kind that takes lives; just someone sent to scare me."

Huang Yiyi's pupils dilated, "Mr. Li, who scared you? Is there someone who dares to scare you?"

In Huang Yiyi's eyes, I was a master, someone very powerful, even more so than the most powerful Master He she knew. She didn't realize that this was my first time handling such a matter.

I shook my head bitterly and said, "There's no such thing as 'daring' or 'not daring.' I'm not as powerful as you think."

"Then who scared you? Is it your enemy?"

Enemy? Where do I have enemies!

I shook my head and said, "Not the He Zhongtian I met today, but the person who is messing with your family's feng shui."

"Ah!" Huang Yiyi blinked, "Are they planning to take revenge on you?"

He Zhongtian has a small heart and a strong sense of jealousy. In his mind, I must have become his top target for revenge. As for the other unknown person, their heart is even more evil, causing people to be childless and infertile. Such a person wouldn't be good either.

"It's really over the top. I used to respect him as a master. Mr. Li, why don't you come stay at my place? This matter is all because of my family. If you come to my place, it will be easier to keep an eye on things." Huang Yiyi extended a sincere invitation to me.

I quickly said, "No need, they can't affect me. If I go to your place, it will seem like I'm afraid of them, and they will become even more arrogant."

Huang Yiyi looked at me with concern and finally nodded, "Okay! I'll go back first, take care of yourself."

As she spoke, Huang Yiyi's eyes darted around uneasily; she was still afraid.

I escorted Huang Yiyi downstairs. When we parted, I saw that she was still terrified of what had just happened, so I gave her a protective yellow paper talisman. She thanked me and drove away.

Only after Huang Yiyi disappeared into the night did I slowly turn and walk back into the room.

The room still retained the fragrance that Huang Yiyi had left behind. When she was here, I didn't dare to do anything. Now that she was gone, I realized that I hadn't done anything and felt quite timid.

The next morning, before I even got out of bed, I received a call from Huang Baiwan.

Huang Baiwan told me on the phone that Huang Sihai had another dream about the bald old man last night. This time, the old man didn't scold him or hit him; he just smiled and walked into a room, looking as if he had let go of his grievances.

I couldn't really explain this, but the ability of the dead to communicate with the living in this way might be related to the location of the Huang family's ancestral tomb! Sometimes, the location of the tomb can determine the status of the deceased in the afterlife.

Those with high status can frequently interact with their descendants and bless them with good fortune. Therefore, finding a good feng shui spot for the deceased is very important for the living.

I quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and pulled her behind me!

This sudden pull startled Huang Yiyi; she let out a scream, her face full of fear as she asked, "What? A ghost is knocking on the door?"

As she spoke, I could clearly feel her hand, which was gripping my arm, tremble.
