Chapter 235 – It’s Simply a Ghost Village! (5th update)
Translator: 549690339
It seems that the residents of the city within the city are really unlucky!
One more unlucky than the next!
All good fortune has been stripped away!
Leaving only bad luck behind!
Even worse, even future fathers-in-law, like mine, have been polluted by filthy things.
Looking at the heaven-defying fortune on Young Master Hu’s face, I came to a conclusion…
‘I guess, it’s probably something the Hu Family has done.’ Huang Xiaolong already had some ideas in his mind.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong found that the construction of the entire city within the city was irregular as well.
Each building was not traditionally facing south or north. Instead, they were arranged in a very strange order, resulting in a labyrinth-like village within the city.
Just like, these buildings, together form a Fengshui Formation!
Father Song and Mother Song went home first, Song Yuru strolled around with Huang Xiaolong.
Alone with her, Huang Xiaolong was “uninhibited”, directly grabbing Song Yuru’s small hand.
With her face red as a rose, Song Yuru tried to pull away a few times but didn’t succeed, allowing Huang Xiaolong to lead her.
“Big wife, when we are shopping, we should hold hands,” Huang Xiaolong jestingly said, but his eyes were observing everywhere. “Guide me around, it’s really interesting and fun here.”
“Is it interesting?” Song Yuru smiled. “I don’t think so, perhaps because I’ve grown up here.”
After walking a few streets, Huang Xiaolong finally figured it out.
As expected, the buildings in the city within the city were aligned in a Formation – the Spirit Trapping Formation!
The Spirit Trapping Formation is an evil Fengshui formation, where the souls of people who die in this formation will be trapped in the maze-like formation, unable to leave or report to the underworld, and thus wandering aimlessly day and night.
‘How cruel… the one who set up the Spirit Trapping Formation must have been a Taoist or a Fengshui magician.’ Huang Xiaolong pondered slightly, his eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement, like a playful child finding a fun toy. ‘It seems that in Binhai, apart from that pervert Zhou’s, there are other Taoist experts.’
“Big wife, are all these houses, shops, supermarkets and so on built by the Hu family?” Huang Xiaolong asked casually.
“Yes, the Hu family is the largest, and the only real estate developer in our city within the city,” Song Yuru replied.
After strolling around for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and it was almost time for dinner. A chill wind started to blow.
Shivering, Song Yuru said, “Little Long, it’s a bit cold The city within the city isn’t big. I almost showed you around and we should go home now.”
“Okay.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and nodded.
The two then held hands and walked toward Song Yuru’s house.
While passing by a neighborhood, they heard funeral music being played, coupled with occasional cries.
“Ah Someone… someone has passed away…” A trace of sadness flashed across Song Yuru’s face. “Little Long, I grew up here and many people in the city within the city are my old neighbors. I know almost all of them… The person who… who passed away today… I… I must know them. Little Long, can you accompany me to go in and take a look?”
“Okay, big wife, bear your sorrow patiently.” Huang Xiaolong comforted her.
At this time, there was a couple arguing at the entrance of the neighborhood, and a few-month-old baby was in a stroller next to them.
Shockingly, a white-clothed old man was playing with the baby!
This old man had a face as pale as paper, his eyes sunken, and his appearance was even horrifying!
This old man, of course, was not human, but a ghost!
But it was not a fierce ghost, rather, an ordinary wandering ghost.
It had concealed its ghostly form, so ordinary people could not see it.
But the baby could see it.
Because the baby had the innate eye at birth!
The innate eye, also known as the Heavenly Eye, is a Taoist term. Taoism believes that human beings are born with certain abilities, but as the human body develops and the mind changes, many abilities are obscured by worldly filth, such as the Heavenly Eye. Children who are particularly sensible and able to communicate normally before the age of eighteen months have a great chance of seeing the “dirty things” often mentioned in folklore!
At this time, the old spirit was making the baby giggle.
“Ahem ” Huang Xiaolong coughed lightly, and the old man’s spirit turned his head to look at Huang Xiaolong, a frightened look in his ghostly eyes.
There was a terrifying aura on Huang Xiaolong’s body!
The next second, the old man’s spirit fled like it was running for its life.
“Big wife, let’s go in,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Then together with Song Yuru, they walked into the neighborhood.
As they passed by the still arguing couple, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but stop and say, “Is that your baby? Look, he’s smiling.”
“Huh?” The couple stopped arguing, looked at their baby in unison, then turned their eyes back to Huang Xiaolong.
This young couple both had an air of misfortune. It was no wonder they were arguing.
They were deeply unlucky people. If they kept fighting like this, divorce would inevitably happen sooner or later.
“By the way, I should remind you, if a baby smiles or cries for no reason when no one is watching, it might be because something is playing with him. In that case, you should immediately pick up the baby…” Huang Xiaolong kindly reminded.
After all, contact with filthy things is not good for the child. Sometimes the child will be restless at night.
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, the couple felt a chill running down their spines. They looked at their still giggling baby, and the man asked in a trembling voice, “Brother, are you saying that… that… that… something is playing with our baby?”
“Hmm, I didn’t say anything.” Huang Xiaolong didn’t say any more, pulling Song Yuru inside the neighborhood.
“Little Long… Are you saying… there are ghosts?” Song Yuru looked at Huang Xiaolong nervously.
“Er Big wife, don’t be afraid, even if there are ghosts … I’m here.” Huang Xiaolong grinned.
Entering the neighborhood.
They saw a mourning hall was set up in the neighborhood, some people were burning incense, some were weeping profusely.
“Eh! Little Long, my parents are also there!” Song Yuru’s sharp eyes spotted Father Song and Mother Song. “Let’s go, Little Long, let’s join them.”
“Oh ” Huang Xiaolong agreed, looking around, he saw that in addition to the living, there were many wandering ghosts floating near the mourning hall!
‘Tsk, tsk… As soon as the sun sets, these sneaky spirits start wandering… ‘Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly.
This so-called city within the city is simply a ghost village!
