The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 64 Hospitality
No sound came from the alley.

But Li Xiangwen clearly felt the cold wind blowing across his face.

Shivering, Li Xiangwen whispered, "I've learned a few tricks inherited from my family, but I'm definitely not a master. Over the past few decades, I haven't seen anything...miraculous."

"Huang Jiarong seems to be in good health because he took the talisman water I added painkillers and sleeping pills, and at most a little psychological suggestion."

"I will donate all the money I receive this time to charity and not keep a single cent for myself."

"If I have offended you, it was purely unintentional. Please don't blame me."

Obviously, this "miracle" is most likely related to the person from the Huang family.

He just came out and bumped into "Shenyi" with his right foot. This was too much of a coincidence.

If you put the two sides together, things will make sense.

The other party must have targeted him because of this ritual.

The other party was able to make Huang Jiarong lie on the bed in a state worse than death, and his methods were terrible.

If he were hit like that, he would have no place to cry.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.

Li Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed.

Glancing around, he couldn't help but ask, "Could this... Excellency please show yourself? I've performed rituals for decades and presided over many funerals, but I've never seen someone like you... Excellency."

Still no one responded in the alley.

Li Xiangwen sighed in disappointment.

He looked around again and still didn't see anything unusual, so Li Xiangwen began to wonder if he had a mental problem.

Forget it, let’s go home first…

Li Xiangwen turned around and walked out of the alley, looking back every few steps.

In ancient times, there was Ye Gong who loved dragons. Today, Li Xiangwen feels like he has become a figure like the ancient "Ye Gong".

After playing tricks for so many years, he finally saw what he wanted to see. Even though he was not afraid of death, he felt an uncontrollable fear in his heart, driving him away from that thing.

Of course, unlike Ye Gong, if he had a choice, Li Xiangwen actually didn’t want to see the “miracle” just now.

That kind of eerie, horrifying feeling that frightens people to the bone is definitely not the scene that should occur when those legendary gods and immortals appear.

But if that's not possible, seeing this kind of "magic" can also be considered as fulfilling Li Xiangwen's wish.

For Li Xiangwen, the answers to some questions are even more important than his life.

If there is no weirdness, doesn't that mean that he, his father, and his grandfather for generations are all liars?

On the contrary, if that kind of weird existence exists, doesn’t it mean that his family is not a scammer, but maybe he himself is not cultivated enough?

Taking the latter as the starting point, some more important questions, even those that many people have been pursuing throughout their lives since ancient times, appeared in Li Xiangwen's mind -

Since weird things exist, do the legendary immortals and gods exist?
If they exist, what is the relationship between those gods and the real world?
Li Xiangwen felt as if he had caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of a world that only existed in legends.

Of course, the premise is that what just happened was not auditory hallucination caused by his mental problems.

Li Xiangwen, who was in a daze, got into a taxi before he came to his senses.

I will definitely come into contact with you again in the future...

Li Xiangwen looked at the Huang family boy's face and physiognomy and knew that he was a prodigal son whose body had been drained by alcohol and sex, and he must be unable to sit still.

So he left a little "trap" before leaving.

There is a high probability that the kid will go against his instructions and do the things he said should be avoided.

If the kid's "illness" hasn't healed by then, he'll go over and scare him, and the kid will definitely tell the truth about what he did during that time.

In the end, the Huang family will not only not think he is a liar, but will continue to give him money.

This is a set of practices that Li Xiangwen summed up after performing rituals for people for so many years, and it works every time.

I can't play tricks anymore when I go back, so as not to anger the other party... After thinking about it in a mess, Li Xiangwen returned to his old neighborhood.

This community has been built for decades. The rough exterior walls are gray-brown, the iron railings in the stairwell have turned black, and the concrete stairs below look very thin, as if they would collapse if you stepped on them.

Going up to the third floor, Li Xiangwen came to his door which was covered with various small advertisements and opened the door.

As he walked into the house and just took a sip of water, suddenly, a gust of cold wind rose from behind him for no reason, making his back cold.

Coming home with me?!

Li Xiangwen turned around slowly and saw that an old book he had placed on the table was being turned page by page.

It was a family heirloom book on physiognomy that Li Xiangwen often read.

The pages inside the book are yellowed and some have fallen off.

It can be seen that Li Xiangwen often reads this book.

Li Xiangwen, frightened, stood where he was, watching the book turn pages continuously.

The pages turned slowly, as if someone was actually sitting there reading.

Watching this scene, Li Xiangwen suddenly had a strange idea in his mind.

Could this be a "scholar ghost" who loves books like crazy?
But what was that frivolous “hehe” I just heard?

Li Xiangwen bravely asked, "Do you want to read... a book?"

The open book paused for a moment, then continued to open.

At that moment, Li Xiangwen truly felt as if someone was looking at him, which made the hairs on his back stand on end.

He carefully walked around the dining table and slipped into the room like a thief.

Soon, he walked out of the room carrying a pile of old books.

Carefully placing the book on the table, Li Xiangwen explained, "This is a book passed down in my family. The earliest one can be traced back to one or two hundred years ago. It's still thread-bound. It talks about metaphysics, including burials, feng shui, and physiognomy. There's also a book about breathing exercises to maintain health..."

Placing the book on the edge of the table, he carefully pushed it inward.

"whee……"

After a laugh, a series of footsteps were heard in the room, as if someone was running barefoot in the room.

Li Xiangwen, his heart beating wildly out of fear, turned around suddenly and saw the inflatable pony he had bought for his grandson swaying backwards.

Before he turned his head, he heard the sound of pages turning again.

It took a long time for Li Xiangwen to wait until his heartbeat slowed down.

He felt that he should do something, otherwise he would definitely be scared to death in such an environment.

After looking around, he ran to the corner of the room and rummaged around for a while before finding an incense burner and three incense sticks.

After lighting the incense and inserting it into the incense burner, Li Xiangwen placed the incense burner in front of the table.

"Eat and drink well, sir. If you don't like the taste, you can try another..."

Since they have entered the door, they are guests, and it is right to treat them with the etiquette of treating guests.

No one at the table responded.

The pages of the book are still turning one by one.

Li Xiangwen slowly retreated.

"Bang bang bang!"

The violent knocking on the door almost scared Li Xiangwen to death.

The pages of the book also stopped turning.
