Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

He Fusheng claimed that the mansion he bought was haunted, and He Ping immediately became interested.

"You said it's haunted, what's the method of haunting?"

He Fusheng smiled helplessly.

"Let's start from the beginning..."

He Fusheng thinks that he has been in charge of the He family for so many years, and he has a unique vision. He is conscientious and conscientious in everything he does, and he pays attention to safety.

This time, He Ping wants to transfer the He family's foundation, people, and resources from Sui'an City. It is not a simple task - it should be said that he will move more than 3,000 people under He Ping from Beifu Prefecture to Longhe County. , such a large-scale, hard-working, and coordinated effort was all due to He Fusheng, who single-handedly planned everything.

After entering Longhe County, he arranged his affairs and bought houses and shops everywhere. He never expected that something would go wrong when he purchased this house. For He Fusheng, this matter was a big mistake for him. Deep down in my heart, I felt quite overwhelmed.

"Actually, before I prepared to purchase this mansion, I asked someone to investigate the past of this mansion to see if anything had happened to the previous owners of the mansion. Young Master, you should also know that the world's Most of the haunted houses mentioned have nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but something happened to the previous owner of the house, whether he died of illness or hanged himself. These are mostly rumors and may not be true."

He Fusheng said frankly.

"There are so many rumors about 'haunted houses' in the world. I think they are probably not credible. However, our He family is in business. If there are some bad rumors about the house we sell, wouldn't it make outsiders feel bad if it spread? , so I also kept an eye out..."

He asked someone to investigate and found that there was nothing unusual about this mansion. The previous owners who bought or handled the mansion had nothing unusual in their homes after moving in, so he bought it with confidence. Come down.

After buying the mansion, He Fusheng sent his servants to clean the house and wing. This kind of large house covers an extremely large area, with blue bricks and tiles, whirling flowers and trees, exquisite rockery, deep and deep house, and is extremely luxurious.

The original owner was a merchant from Zhonghuanzhou. Business here was not going well, so he left with his family for several months.

There are many unused rooms in such a luxurious mansion. Since people want to move in, they have to clean what needs to be cleaned, and find someone to maintain what needs to be tidied up and repaired.

Things had been normal up to this point, until He Fusheng took a look around and discovered a small courtyard deep in the mansion.

This house is very large and originally had many courtyard walls. The previous owner disliked the complexity and demolished many of the courtyard walls. In this corner near the bamboo forest in the back mountain, there is a pavilion surrounded by a blue brick courtyard wall. .

This pavilion was two stories high. He Fusheng walked in and found that the mansion was built with carved blue bricks. There were no windows on either the first or second floor.

He Fusheng walked around and didn't see a single window on the side of the house. The only entrance was an iron pear wood door at the front door.

There was a lock hanging on the iron pear wood door. The iron lock was also rusty and had not been opened for an unknown period of time.

"Go, find someone to go in and clean this attic."

He Fusheng didn't think much at that time. He just ordered someone to open the wooden lock and go in to clean up the room.

…

"It doesn't sound like anything wrong."

He Ping was sitting in the hall of Mingtang. He picked up the cup and took a sip, and continued to ask: "What happened later?"

"It was late that night, so I sent two servants with candlelight at night. They probably planned to finish cleaning and rest in the yard. Who knew that the two people would disappear the next day."

He Fusheng frowned.

"Those two people followed us from He's house in Sui'an City and moved all the way to Longhe County. They have been selling themselves to the family since they were young, and they have been serving the He family for many years. I never thought that they would disappear. , I still wonder if they found an opportunity to escape."

As the steward of the He family, He Fusheng would never allow someone who knew the He family well to escape. He quickly sent out guards to investigate around the residence, but found no news about anyone entering or leaving the house at night last night.

"There are also guards guarding the entrance and exit of the mansion. Even if these two people escape over the wall, it is impossible for them to leave without a trace."

He Fusheng analyzed calmly.

"Considering all the changes, I believe that the disappearance of the two people is definitely related to the masonry pavilion in the small courtyard, so I sent people back to investigate in the courtyard..."

He sent people to investigate the two-story pavilion inside and out, but there were no clues.

He Fusheng thought for a while, and then called over the agent who was selling the mansion in his generation. He was always capable and alert in his work. He didn't come up and scold him. Instead, he set up a banquet and held it at the banquet. The Yaman got drunk and made some insinuations, and finally got some information from him.

"This person knows very little about the pavilion behind the courtyard. This house was originally managed by another person. Because that person died of a sudden illness, it was handed over to him to take care of. The previous person in Zhuangzhaiya did not follow him. I said, after the property deed is handed over, remember to inform the next owner that the house behind the house can be left alone. Don’t let anyone enter the house at night, otherwise there will be trouble in the future..."

This person didn't take it seriously at all. He had forgotten about it long ago and didn't even remind He Fusheng who bought the house.

He Fusheng remained calm. After getting this information, he found the acquaintances of his ex-Yaren. After some inquiries, he actually dug out some important information.

"There is nothing wrong with the house. The problem should be the attic. According to the family members of the former family member, the attic can 'eat people'."

"Can you eat people?"

"right."

He Fusheng continued.

I learned from the family members that the previous owner of the mansion was an unemployed high-ranking official. There was a relative in his family and a child he loved very much. When he was playing in the mansion, he accidentally entered the attic in the yard. He didn't come back all day and night.

The next day, people in the house were also anxious and searched desperately.

Later, an old servant finally recalled that he remembered that the child had gone into the attic yesterday and never came out again...

Everyone hurriedly entered the attic and rummaged around, but still found no one.

Suddenly, a servant noticed that on the wall of the attic, there were patterns of flowers and birds printed on pink paper, which were pasted on the entire attic wall. In addition, there were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls of the attic. It seemed beautiful and elegant, but this The servant felt a little strange.

He casually picked off a calligraphy and painting, and tore off a piece of pink paper wallpaper from the wall behind the calligraphy and painting. With a swish sound, the wallpaper fell. The servant couldn't help but scream "Ah", his eyes He stared straight, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Behind the wallpaper was a childish face. It was a painting, and it was the missing child. The child had a fearful look on his face, his hands were dancing wildly, and his whole person was frozen in this picture. .

Anyone who sees this painting will admire the artist's brushwork - the child's frightened appearance seems to have been painted on the wall with exquisite brushstrokes. It is so vivid and lifelike that it seems like a living person. After being captured by some evil spell, it was sealed on this wall.

After He Fusheng heard this story, a chill ran down his spine, because he recalled that the servants who investigated the pavilion also noticed that the pavilion was full of calligraphy and painting, and the walls were covered with wallpaper.

He quickly sent someone to enter the attic again and tore down all the calligraphy and paintings and the paper paper taped to the wall. As a result, everyone present felt goosebumps and scalp numbness!

It turned out that the four walls of this house were painted with dense figures. Each of these people had distorted faces and frightened expressions. It was as if they all saw, felt, and experienced the moment they were frozen on the wall. What a horrifying anomaly!

"Later, they told me that the two servants of He Mansion were also painted on one of the walls."

He Fusheng sighed.

"Master, do you think this is haunted?"
