Chapter 15 Footprints at the Door

I took a bite of the food and said angrily: "Why don't you just tell me what knocked on the door? Why do you have to wait until night?"

"You only believe your own eyes. If you didn't see it, would you believe it?" Fang Taihe smiled at me.

Although Fang Taihe is a weird person, what he said is quite good.

In the past, when I was new to the world, I would easily believe no matter what anyone said.

However, recent events, including Lao Liu, Hu Yue and his daughter, Liu Yanfu, Lao Wu, Wei Zhonglai, and this weirdo in front of me, have all given me a different perspective on the world.

No matter what, if Fang Taihe wanted to harm me, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until night? Besides, I am a young man in his twenties. If I am frightened by him, if the news spreads, I will not lose the title of the number one child in Changlong Town.

Zhuge’s reputation?!

Seeing that I was silent, Fang Taihe seemed to see what I was thinking, and then said: "Don't you want to know the truth of the matter? Come with me tonight, and I will tell you everything."

Damn it, this is what I've been waiting for.

During the recent period, Liu Yanfu from Meizhuang, Hu Yue and her daughter, Fang Taihe Wei Zhonglai from Xinwopu Village, Liu Rongqiang from Changlong Town, and the three couriers who disappeared five years ago.

Everything was like a stone, pressing on me.

In fact, I am not afraid of death, but I must die clearly. I will never agree to an unclear death!

But, does this strange old man really know the truth?

Fang Taihe chuckled a few times, and before I could ask for an answer, he said, "I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking about whether those people in Meizhuang are dead or alive, what happened to Wei Zhong, Liu Rongqiang, and me."

This sentence really attracted me. These are the huge rocks that have been weighing on my heart.

If you can know these truths just by taking a trip with Fang Taihe, it will be worth it.

I gritted my teeth, nodded, and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

"Okay, let's keep our word, I will go with you tonight!"

After listening to my words, Fang Taihe blinked his eyes, twisted all the organs on his face together, and laughed.

I didn't sleep all night last night and I was a little confused.

I have to go out with Fang Taihe in the evening. The most important thing now is to have a good rest.

I arranged Fang Taihe in the guest room and locked the door before going to bed to prevent him from emptying out the house when I woke up.

Then he lay down on the bed with peace of mind and fell asleep.

Unknowingly, I slept until ten o'clock when Fang Taihe woke me up and asked me to go out.

I raised my eyes and looked at the sky outside. It was already very dark. I was actually very resistant.

During the day, I didn't feel scared. Now, looking at the dark sky outside, and thinking of the strange events last night, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But Fang Taihe was quite confident. Although the old man was in rags, the look in his eyes was very firm, which actually gave me courage.

Following Fang Taihe out of the door, he thought he needed to go downstairs, but unexpectedly he took out a jar from his cloth bag.

Then I opened the lid and spread an even layer at the door of my house.

I wondered in my heart that this old guy was strange and acted strangely, but I didn't say anything, but looked at him quietly.

After doing all this, Fang Taihe ignored me and walked straight up the stairs toward the upstairs of my house.

Didn't he say he wanted to see something and knock on the door? Why was he going upstairs?

I caught up and asked, "Uncle Fang, what are you doing upstairs?"

"If you don't go upstairs, why are you knocking on the door?" Fang Taihe rolled his eyes at me.

Hearing this, I was stunned and smiled sheepishly.

I didn’t expect that Zhuge, the number one person in Changlong Town, would not think of such a simple thing.

When he reached the corner of the stairs leading upstairs, Fang Taihe whispered: "Okay, let's stay here."

Then I leaned against the wall and sat down. I followed suit and sat down, beating my heart.

Can this old boy do it?

Just sitting there motionless, the time passed by, and it was already half past eleven.

As usual, the bronze mirror should have emitted blue light. I forgot to take it out when I went out just now. I lost my patience and was about to ask.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door!

I was startled and secretly shouted: It’s coming!

But what shocked me was that the knocks kept ringing, but there was no one at the door!

Fang Taihe gave me a color and pointed me to look at the layer of fine gray at the door.

On top of that layer of fine dust, a row of footprints suddenly appeared!

Just like last night, there were knocks on the door regularly.

There were gradually more and more footprints on the fine dust. It was obvious that the owner of the footprints was very irritated when he saw that I was not opening the door, and was pacing back and forth.

I secretly glanced at Fang Taihe. His face was calm and showed no fear at all. He was just looking straight at the door.

About half an hour later, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

I looked down at the time and breathed a sigh of relief. It was one o'clock.

Fang Taihe winked at me again and motioned me to look at the fine gray. A closer look showed that the footprints on the fine gray were pointing downstairs.

I almost peed my pants, wiped my sweat, and asked Fang Taihe shivering: "What...what's going on?"

Fang Taihe stood up and said to me as he went downstairs: "The ghost is knocking on the door, it's the bronze mirror that's doing it."

I followed Fang Taihe downstairs, opened the door, and was about to step into the house. When I thought that the bronze mirror was still on the coffee table, I stopped and looked back, forgetting to glance at Fang Taihe.

Fang Taihe followed me, and I suddenly stopped, looked at me doubtfully, then smiled and said, "It's okay."

After that, he pushed me aside and walked in.

Seeing that Fang Taihe was confident that nothing would happen, I gritted my teeth and followed him in.

As soon as I entered the room, I held his hand and said with a cry: "Uncle Fang, Master Fang, you just said that the thing knocking on the door was caused by the bronze mirror. What happened?"

Fang Taihe sat on the sofa, playing with the bronze mirror in his hand, and sighed: "This bronze mirror of yours is called the Yin Mirror. It can attract some invisible things. For example, the person who knocked on the door just now was the one who was attracted by the bronze mirror."

attract.

Did Wei Zhonglai tell you that I practice evil arts and specialize in absorbing the spiritual power of ghosts? In fact, it is not me who practices evil arts, but him!

Ghosts follow the yin path, and humans follow the yang path. Originally, the two are unrelated, but the yin mirror forcibly merges the two paths together, which is too harmful to nature, so anyone who uses the yin mirror will suffer retribution.

Wei Zhonglai will definitely ask you to visit him once a month, in order to get you to pay ghosts to him!"

When I heard this, I was immediately dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Master Wei Zhonglai, whom he had always regarded as his savior, turned out to be a wicked person.

It’s useless for me to call myself the number one Zhuge in Changlong Town. I was sold out and yet I still have to help others count their money. If this gets out, my face will be thrown into disgrace!

According to Fang Taihe's explanation of the matter, it certainly makes sense. But what happened to that female voice the day before yesterday, asking me not to open the door?

I couldn't wait to ask Fang Taihe.

Fang Taihe glanced at me and asked calmly: "Do you know Jingxian?"
