Chapter 566 Los Angeles Haunted House

"After so many years, can I still find it?" the fat man asked casually.

"I should be able to find clues. I will set off immediately and be able to come back before noon." Nanfeng was about to leave.

"Why just take him back with me so that I can avoid running back and forth." The fat man raised his hand and pointed at the thin man. The thin man thought he wanted to remove the black crystal eye mask again, and raised his hand to stop him again.

"The situation is unknown, you can't be reckless," Nanfeng shook his head, "I'll go and go back quickly, don't move him randomly."

The fat man nodded and responded. Nanfeng looked at Zhuge Chanjuan, and when Zhuge Chanjuan nodded, teleported and disappeared.

Luoyang was the place name of the previous dynasty. It is now named Luozhou. It is located in the heart of the Central Plains. It was a major military rank that was fought for by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty. During this period, it changed hands several times and is now a territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Nanfeng had passed by Luozhou before. Knowing the general direction, he teleported to outside Luozhou City. It was already Chenshi, and the city gate was wide open. After appearing, he walked into the city with the crowd.

Luozhou is a prefecture city, with a large area of ​​land. However, due to frequent wars, the cities are mostly dilapidated. The sporadic arrow shafts floating in the moat indicate that a war had just happened here not long ago.

After entering the city, Nanfeng began to look around for the older man. It was decades before that Luoyang had changed its name to Luozhou, and the street name was different from the past. Only the old man could know the address of the previous dynasty engraved on the wooden sign.

After asking a few people, someone finally knew where the address on the wooden sign was located. This person was a kind old woman who enthusiastically guided Nanfeng. In order to avoid any mistakes, Nanfeng took out silver and asked her to lead the way herself.

On the way to the road, Nanfeng asked, "Auntie, what is that place?"

"Now it's a abandoned house." The old woman replied.

"Where was it before?" Nanfeng asked.

"I seemed to be an escort agency in the early years." The old woman said again.

Nan Feng felt a stern when he heard this, "How many years ago did that happen?"

The old woman shook her head, "I'm old and can't remember it. It's always been there for decades."

"You think about it again." Nan Feng said.

The old woman tried to recall while stepping, and after a long time, she suddenly remembered something, "The escort agency was still there when Big Dog was five years old. In this way, it should have been more than forty years."

Nanfeng nodded and asked, "Can you tell me about the situation of the escort agency?"

"The place where I live is very far away from there, and I am not very familiar with that family. I only know that it was originally a very small escort agency." The old woman said, and after that, she asked, "Young man, what are you doing there?"

"Looking for someone." Nan Feng replied casually.

"There has been abandoned for many years and there has been no one anymore." The old woman shook her head and said.

"Where are the people who lived there before?" Nanfeng asked.

The old woman shook her head again, "Everything is dead. Young man, I think you are a good person. I listen to my advice and don't go to that place."

"Hmm?" Nanfeng frowned in confusion.

The old woman stuttered, "That place is not a good place, it's not very clean."

Nanfeng sideways away from a peddler carrying a load, "You mean there is haunted?"

The old woman looked around and turned to whisper, "Yes, someone once saw a ferocious female ghost wandering from there."

"What kind of female ghost?" Nanfeng asked.

The old woman waved her hand, "I just heard that I have never seen it before, but the female ghost seemed unusual. Someone once took a fancy to the house without a master and wanted to repair it to live there. She also invited a wizard and a Taoist priest to catch the ghost, but in the end it was left alone."

"When did that house start to be haunted?" Nan Feng asked again.

The old woman is old and has a bad memory. She thought for a long time before she said, "It's been twenty or thirty years."

"Has that female ghost ever done anything evil?" Nan Feng asked.

"No ghost can do evil things." The old woman answered very vaguely.

Nanfeng asked again, and the old woman just said that the ghost looked scary, and she couldn't tell how scary it was and what bad things she had done besides scary it.

Seeing that her knowledge was limited, Nanfeng did not continue to ask questions and followed her to the west city.

Luocheng was once the capital, not smaller than Chang'an. The old woman walked slowly and took Nanfeng to an isolated old house after half an hour.

The reason why it is isolated is that there are ruins within a hundred steps of the old house, and there are people's residences outside. It brings Nanfeng here, and the old woman advises him to turn around. After Nanfeng thanks, he will give her a few taels of silver and send her away.

When the old woman left, Nanfeng turned his gaze to the old house on the north side of the road again. The old house was not big, but a white official seal was pasted on the dilapidated and white wooden door. Because it was posted for a long time, the seal faded and the handwriting on it could no longer be seen clearly. In addition to the two larger official seals, there were also some faded talisman paper sticking on the lintel below the door stairs. The runes on the talisman paper were messy, and they were supposed to be from outsiders.

From the outside, the two courtyards of the old house are quite complete. Although they are dilapidated, they have not collapsed. There are several locust trees outside the east wall of the old house, with leaves falling in autumn and winter, which are very bleak.

There were originally other houses around the old house, but these houses were demolished, and the wood and bricks that could be used were also taken away, leaving only the old house alone in a ruin.

Not far away, there were old people basking in the sun in the shelter, but Nanfeng did not go to inquire about the situation with them, but walked straight to the yard and walked into the door.

Before coming in, he had already confirmed that there were no ghosts in the old house because there was no ghost spirit. He came in just to observe the situation in the old house.

The yard of the old house is full of weeds, falling on the fallen autumn and winter, and a thick layer of leaves falls on it. A few birds dig out from the fallen leaves. When they see the south wind appearing, they flew away.

The doors of the east and west wings are both open, the door shaft is broken, the door leaf is crooked, but it has not fallen off.

I went to the east wing first and found that there were dense spider webs inside, empty, and there were ashes burning from a bonfire on the ground.

There are several decaying straw curtains in the corner of the west wing, which shows that someone had stayed here a long time ago.

After checking the front yard, I went to the back yard. There was a well in the northeast corner of the back yard, a stone mill in the southeast corner, and a wooden table in the middle of the yard. There was a tilted incense burner left on the wooden table. There was a flag-shaped strip of cloth in the fallen leaves under the table. Needless to say, someone tried to catch a ghost, but something happened in the middle and fled in panic and didn't even have time to take it away.

There are also two wing rooms in the backyard, east and west. The east wing is a kitchen, with rice jars and water tanks and some simple kitchenware. The rice jars and water tanks are covered with lids. When you lift the lid, you can see that the rice jars and water tanks are empty, and there is still a little salt left in the jar, which indicates that no outsiders have ever come here because salt is not cheap at this time. If it is seen, it will definitely be taken away.

The west wing was placed with some darts and stone locks used by warriors to practice martial arts. There was a face dart flag that was not bitten by rats and insects. It was vaguely seen that the word Li embroidered on it was embroidered.

After looking at the wing room, we went to the main house. The main house roughly maintained its original appearance back then. There was a collapsed bed on the west side, and the simple bedding was still there. Although it was covered with thick dust, it did not completely decay.

The table and chairs in the middle of the room were quite well preserved. There was a basket on the table, which contained thimbles and scissors for female workers. In addition, there was a pottery pot for decocting medicine, which also had rotten and blackened medicine residues, which indicated that the owner had been infected and taken medicine before his death.

Although this house is not small, it does not have decent living objects, which can be described as a home with only a wall.

This place should be the former residence of the mysterious dowryer. The biggest possibility is that he had an accident when he went out to make an appointment. The female family in the family was not allowed to make a living and could only rely on pawning the goods at home to make a living.

After a brief look, Nanfeng walked towards the decaying and collapsed bed, picked up a wooden stick from the front of the bed, and stimulated the pile of bedding that had begun to rot. The bedding was very thin and there were many patches with distorted pins on it, which showed that the hostess was not very good at female workers, and she lived a very poor life at the last moment.

After inspection, I didn't find it, so I wanted to throw away the wooden stick in my hand. Just as I was about to take off my hand, I suddenly found that the end of the wooden stick was very smooth, and there were many bald ones on the other end. If it was the length, it would be a wooden stick that I held all year round.
