Chapter 50: The Haunted House of He Mansion: Four Little Beggars
An idea flashed in Yang Jin's mind, and she guessed a place, which was the He Mansion where Dai Zhiguang, the "Pink Butterfly Man", raped and then killed his entire family.
“Yes, this is the place!”
“Oh, that’s where it turned out to be!
This place is really good.
But I just don’t know if others will let us live in that place?
We beggars don't have enough to eat all day long, and we are tired of being bullied by others.
What's more, you can become a troublemaker at any time and anywhere, and you have no taboos against these evil spirits.
As long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it will be fine.
Besides, although the He Mansion is a haunted house, hasn't the murderer Dai Zhiguang, the "Pink Butterfly Man", been beaten to death by Big Brother He, Zhou Captou and others, and has he been punished?
What's more, the He Mansion is a wealthy and powerful family in Pingyang City.
The house is big and well-built, and it is a great thing to live there.
It’s such a good place, how could we, the beggars, be allowed to live there for a long time?”
"Haha! Boy, don't you know this?"
Seeing Yang Jin's disbelief, Zhang Youfu chuckled and said, "You don't know, most of the places like He Mansion have had massacres.
The whole family was wiped out, and there were no descendants or relatives left in the world.
Generally, according to common practice, it is put under the jurisdiction of the Shenpingmen Yamen.
Even all future sales and leasing matters will be decided by Shenpingmen Yamen.
However, these places have experienced tragic murders in the preparation department.
Therefore, most people are very taboo about it, so no one dares to live in it within three to five years, and it will remain empty.
As time passed, the incident of the family massacre became colder.
Only when people have almost forgotten about these houses will someone take over them.
Put out for sale and lease.
You said, since the house is empty now and no one dares to live in it, why won't you be allowed to live in it for free?
At least if you live there, you can at least add some popularity to the house!"
When Yang Jin heard that there was a door, he quickly asked: "Old man, let me ask you, who is in charge of the affairs of this house now in Shenzhenmen?
Now that I know who is in charge, I can go and tell them about my companions who want to live in this house.
However, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, the old man, to clear things up.
After all, you are always the anchor of Pingyang City God’s arresting door.
If they don't give you face, they can't refute your old face!
If you take the initiative, this is a sure thing.
They just don’t want to let people like us live in their houses, but for your sake, they can’t object!”
Zhang Youfu stroked his beard and listened to Yang Jin's flattery. He shook his head happily and happily, but did not speak.
When Yang Jin saw Zhang Youfu's current appearance, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly guessed something.
He hurriedly asked: "Old man, is it possible that you are in charge of the affairs of this house?"
"Haha, I know you are smart and can definitely guess it.
That’s right! This house is really under the jurisdiction of our stolen property treasury now, but the sale and lease will not be ours in the future.
If this house is only used for living in three to five years, the old man still has the final say now.
It’s just that I’ve helped you so much, how are you going to thank me in the future?”
"Old man, don't worry, I know it well!
Since you are so helpful, I can't help but be sensible!
From now on, if you want to eat whatever you want, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will do it.
No problem, we’ll do it all for you!”
"Okay, this is what I'm waiting for from your boy!
That matter should not be delayed, now I will take you to He Mansion to have a look.
After I finish reading it, I will give you the key.
As for how to settle your companions next time, I don't care about it.
Okay, I won’t read today’s book for now. I think you won’t be able to read anymore with your current mood..."
"..."
Yang Jin did not read or read with Zhang Youfu this morning, but went with Su Rou.
The three of them went directly to the east of the city and took a look at the He Mansion that had been destroyed.
He's house is very large, with a courtyard of five or six yards and an area of nearly one hundred acres.
As expected of a wealthy family's house, the house is very solid and weatherproof.
But now the doors and windows are all sealed with the seals of the God's Catcher, and Yang Jin is very satisfied with it.
After looking at the house, Yang Jin took all the keys from Zhang Youfu and left alone.
He did not go back to the yamen with Zhang Youfu and Su Rou, but came to the ruined temple alone.
Of course there are no companions of Yang Jin in the ruined temple, except for Su Rou.
Zhao Qing, Zheng Xu, Jiang Yuqing and others are now studying under Master Liang Yunxiao and Linghui.
However, there are a few little beggars in this ruined temple.
It seems that this ruined temple is indeed a geomantic treasure. Not long after Yang Jin and the others left, another beggar came to live there.
Yang Jin had been to the ruined temple this morning, so he naturally knew the details of these little beggars in the temple.
In the morning, Yang Jin came to the ruined temple secretly, firstly because he wanted to come back and get some money.
What's more important is to take a look at the fire he deliberately set that day.
Have you completely burned the dead body of Lu Xinglie, the "blood-clad soul chaser"?
During these days, he had never been confident and was always suspicious.
But I never had time to come and take a look.
Of course, it was to avoid suspicion and avoid anyone discovering traces of Lu Xinglie's body.
Connect the murder of Lu Xinglie with him.
The second one is that he really can't spare the time to come over.
He first learned martial arts from Master Liang Yunxiao and Master Linghui.
Later, he discovered that someone was staring at him, so he hid in the Shenhuamen Yamen and did not dare to come out.
Yang Jin finally felt safe today, so she wanted to take a look.
Unexpectedly, he was shocked as soon as he arrived at the temple.
He did not expect that his fire did not burn down the main hall of the ruined temple, but only half of the wall that Lu Xinglie broke through.
Now people have even built it with broken bricks. It is obvious that people still live in the temple.
After discovering someone in the temple, Yang Jin's heart suddenly lifted.
He reached out to his waist and took the flying knife in his belt. This set of hidden weapons was given to him by Ningmei, the plum master of Miaoyin Valley.
In the past few days, Yang Jin has not only been practicing the "Three Treasures Arhat Boxing" taught by Master Linghui and the basic swordsmanship taught by He Mingxiu.
The one he practiced and studied the most was the "Thirteen Postures of Chasing Stars and Shooting the Moon" taught to him by Mei Shining in Miaoyin Valley.
Yang Jin knew that the time he had learned martial arts was too short, so neither his strength nor his moves were enough to fight with others.
If you want to improve your combat effectiveness in a short period of time, you have to come up with new tricks and work hard on hidden weapons.
Hidden weapon kung fu is originally about sneaky surprises, taking people by surprise and attacking them unprepared to secretly carry out evil tricks.
He and he are now facing a hostile battle, and they are secretly planning to do something evil.
Moreover, the current benefits of using hidden weapons to deal with enemies are also obvious.
Firstly, because he was young, others would not pay attention to him, and they would not have thought that he would use hidden weapons to attack.
Second, the use of hidden weapons can maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, without having to engage in close combat with the enemy to compete with the strength of moves.
This not only covers up his shortcomings of short martial arts training time and lack of strength in his moves, but also allows him to kill enemies from a long distance.
Or is it that the hidden weapon technique can be mastered in a short time and can be used to attack the enemy directly as quickly as possible.
The most important thing is that the "Thirteen Movements of Chasing Stars and Shooting the Moon" taught by Mei Shining of Miaoyin Valley is much more powerful than the basic swordsmanship taught by He Mingxiu.
Therefore, in order to improve his combat effectiveness, he spent much more time practicing hidden weapons these days than working on basic swordsmanship.
In addition, due to the recent practice of "Three Treasures Arhat Boxing" blood coagulation and body tempering and his extraordinary talent and innate supernatural power.
Now he has great strength, and with his strength combined with the "Thirteen Movements of Star Chasing and Shooting the Moon", he can use the Flying Knife, which is quite powerful.
Therefore, hidden weapon kung fu can be regarded as his best martial arts at present.
Because Yang Jin came too early, the people in the temple were still sleeping and did not wake up.
Yang Jin used his super hearing and listened carefully with bated breath.
There were not many people in the temple. From the sound of breathing, there were four or five people, and none of them were awake.
Yang Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that everyone inside was sleeping.
So he quietly walked to the temple door and looked inside carefully.
There were not many people in the temple, only four of them, probably not very old, and they were all dressed up like hustlers.
There are three boys and one girl, all young, around ten years old.
"It turns out there are four little beggars living here!"
Seeing this, Yang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and put away the flying knife, but instead of inserting it back into his waist, he hid it in his sleeve.
Yang Jin looked at the place where the body of Lu Xinglie, the "blood-clad soul chaser", was. It was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.
But it was obvious that no one had cleaned it up. He was a little worried, and then he relaxed.
What happens next is very simple.
Yang Jin deliberately made noise outside the temple, waking up several people sleeping in the temple.
After showing off their flying knife skills and killing a wild dog with one blow from a distance of seven to eight feet, these little beggars said everything they wanted to ask.
Speaking of which, these four little beggars all know Yang Jin.
They used to beg for food in this area of Xicheng like Yang Jin and others, and they even had fights before.
However, Yang Jin's memory of this body's past was not very clear, so she did not recognize these four little beggars.
It was only after the girl named Cheng Qing recognized him among the four little beggars that Yang Jin remembered these people.
Cheng Qing and the four of them did beg for food in Xicheng before, but not at the ruined temple, but in a place in Xicheng closer to Beicheng.
They had previously settled in the City God's Temple in the West City near the junction with the North City, and there were several large beggar's heads covering it.
On weekdays, life is better than that of Yang Jin and others before.
Except sometimes I was beaten and scolded because I couldn't get money, or I was taken out of anger by a few beggars.
At least he can have enough to eat, and he has someone to support him when he is bullied.
