The two of them left the ancient house together, and at the same time they looked back at the house again. It was still standing there quietly, silently, as if exuding a strong smell of decay...

...

After the two of them returned to the hotel with a cold wind in their arms, the lady at the counter looked at them in surprise, wondering when these two people went out.

Tao Jiang was a little unhealthy. He wanted to go back to the room and sort out his thoughts. There were too many things happening today, and he felt dizzy. Su Muzhe grabbed him and asked him to come with him to the counter.

Tao Jiang was a little surprised. Although this spiritual master did not show arrogance and coldness on weekdays, it made people feel that it was difficult to get along with. But he didn't say much, and he was so delicate and handsome that he was as beautiful as a dummy, especially because of his silver eyes (someone thought, this is born, I will only say the important words once!) and he would feel inexplicably afraid of his intimidation. The pressure and momentum made people dare not approach it easily.

So what is the situation now that you take the initiative to chat with others?

When the counter lady saw the two of them coming, she immediately sat upright, spread a stylized smile, and asked, "Two gentlemen, do you need any help?"

When the two of them arrived at the counter, the lady at the counter saw their appearance clearly and couldn't help but scream in her heart: Damn, these two are so handsome, especially the one wearing silver contact lenses, who is so beautiful!

Su Muzhe smiled at her. He rarely smiled. This smile was immediately full of charm, like the continuous flawless white snow outside the window, shining with the purest brilliance. He said, "Hello, I want to ask, do you know the ancient house in the western suburbs not far from here?"

The lady at the counter was fascinated by him and her cheeks flushed, and she subconsciously said, "Is it that haunted house?"

Tao Jiang saw the clue at this time. It turned out that Su Muzhe wanted to inquire about the situation in the house through the locals. He couldn't help but cheer up and wanted to hear what this woman was going to say.

Su Muzhe raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? Haunted?"

Let’s talk about the lady at the counter, she regretted it as soon as she said that. After all, the haunted house may not be too glorious, but it has come to this point, and this person asked herself again... She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Yes, everyone said that the house was haunted. The house was obviously a abandoned house, but some people said that she saw the lights inside, and..." At this point, she deliberately paused and kept it in a silence.

Su Muzhe and Tao Jiang both showed a "I'm very interested" attitude, which greatly satisfied the lady at the counter's gossip. Then she continued: "And, they said that the house can eat people!"

"What?! Eat people!" Tao Jiang exclaimed immediately, unable to calm down.

The lady at the counter couldn't help but look at him and immediately saw the red slapped print on his face that had not yet faded. She pointed to Tao Jiang's face and asked, "What's going on with your face?"

Tao Jiang felt the burning face. He touched his cheek and immediately took a breath of cold air in pain. He remembered his crazy posture just now in the ancient house, and he became a little embarrassed in an instant. He avoided the vision of the lady at the counter and coughed unconsciously.

Su Muzhe looked normal, as if he was not the culprit who made the slap on Tao Jiang's face. He spoke and pulled the counter lady back and said, "Who said that the ancient house could eat people?"

The lady at the counter smiled and said, "As for this kind of thing, everyone has heard of it, and they don't know who the person they said at the beginning."

Su Muzhe nodded in understanding and asked again: "Are there any rumors about the ancient house?"

The lady at the counter thought about it carefully and said, "Oh, and none of us knows when the house was left, let alone who its owner is. Anyway, it has been there since I can remember, and it has always been like that and has never changed."

After asking what he wanted to know, Su Muzhai said to her: "I'm disturbing you, Miss. We have nothing to ask, so let's leave first."

The lady at the counter waved goodbye to them reluctantly. When Su Muzhe was about to go upstairs with Tao Jiang, he suddenly thought of a question in his mind, and turned it back, saying, "Sorry, I have one last question to ask you."

The lady at the counter thought he was here to contact her, and her eyes were shiny. She said happily: "Okay, please ask!"

Su Muzhe said: "Do you have the habit of opening skylights for buildings here?"

Seeing that what he said was not what he thought, the counter lady was a little depressed and couldn't help but angrily look at Su Muzha and thought that this person was really unfamiliar with the charm, but she still said conscientiously: "It should have happened before, because lighting was very inconvenient at that time, so she used to open a skylight to obtain the light source, but it is rare now. Firstly, natural light is no longer needed now, and secondly, the skylight will easily become dirty because it is wind and rain, and the deposition of snow water, but cleaning is more troublesome. So it is not fashionable to open a skylight now."

Su Muzhe got the answer and thanked her again, and went upstairs with Tao Jiang who was waiting at the stairs.

After going upstairs, Tao Jiang turned his head to look at Su Muzhe and asked, "Mr. Su, why did you ask her about the skylight? Is this related to the haunted house?"

Su Muzha looked ahead and said, "I felt strange when I saw the skylight before, but I couldn't remember what was wrong for a moment. Then I asked the woman and remembered that the house had existed for many years. Everything in the house was broken, but the skylight was still intact. More importantly, after so long after the baptism of wind and rain, the glass of the skylight was still clean and not stained with a trace of dirt, which made it impossible to say."

Tao Jiang carefully recalled the situation on the second floor of the house and agreed to it. At this moment, he was really impressed by Su Muzhe. He could observe so seriously and found so many details that ordinary people could not detect. He was really looking for the right person this time!

After arriving at the door, Su Muzhe said to Tao Jiang: "Now we have basically confirmed that it is the reason for the house, but I am sure there are no ghosts in the house. You log in to the 'Ghostly Supernatural Forum', try to contact the poster as quickly as possible, ask him why he posted photos of the ancient house, and then ask him what he had discovered."

Tao Jiang nodded and understood. After saying goodbye to Su Muzha, he went back to his room.

Su Muzhe took the key and opened the door and entered the room. Because the lights in the room were still on, he went directly to the bed and sat down, thinking carefully about what he encountered today. Those who died in vain must be related to the house. There is something wrong with the house, and the tree placed in the center of the room also has something wrong, but...

At this time, he saw the cell phone thrown at the head of the bed, and a flash of inspiration flashed. How could he forget that he could ask Hu Qing for help! Hu Qing has been around for more than two thousand years, so he should know more or less about such things.

But after looking at Hu Qing's number, Su Muzhe hesitated again. It was so late, calling Hu Qing would probably disturb him, right?

While he was hesitating, the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang. Su Muzhai looked closely and found that it was Hu Qing who called him. He blinked and answered the phone.

The voice of Hu Qing was lazy and low. He chuckled lightly, very charming, and then asked, "Are you asleep?"

Su Muzha said: "No."

Hu Qing said on the other end: "Why are you still not sleeping so late? Are you staying up late again?"

Su Muzhe was speechless, and he said in his heart that it was clearly your call from Your Highness, why did the evil people complain first? But he just secretly complained in his heart and said in his mouth: "I have some things coming to the market outside the market, and I haven't had a rest yet, because I'm going to solve that matter."

Hu Qing asked casually: "You are going out this time...... Are you taking Zhao Xiachu to travel with you?"

Su Muzhe was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, so he could only say truthfully: "No, actually I'm here to catch ghosts. Zhao Xiachu and Pang Su came with him... to help."

When His Highness Fox Lord heard that they were not lonely men and widows, he felt relieved, and laughed again and asked, "What problems did you encounter when you went out to catch ghosts this time?"

When Su Muzhe heard his question, he told the whole story in full and finally asked: "Do you know what's going on in this house?"

Hu Qing pondered and said, "People-eating house? I seem to have some impression of this. It should be that wars broke out in a certain period and somewhere. A large number of people starved to death due to lack of food. After they were buried in the mass grave, they became starved ghosts due to obsession and resentment during their lifetime. And because of their desire for food, they may turn into a building, and when new people enter, they wait for an opportunity to eat them."

"What?!" Su Muzhe said in surprise: "You mean that the house is made of starving ghosts? What I encountered was actually a cannibal house?!"
