The Ghost Gate is Wide Open

  "Today is the Ghost Festival, July 15th." A nearby monk sighed and said, "July 15th, the gates of hell are wide open."

  Tang Zhen Dong looked back at the big virtue on the bed behind him, didn't say a word, and thought to himself: Bullshit, I've been learning my craft for so many years, and my master never told me that there are ghosts in this world. Moreover, since you knew today was Ghost Festival, why did you still dare to come out and swindle people? You can't even hold a compass steady, how do you know about the Ghost Festival?

  "Qian Zong, I and my master want to visit your home, how about it?" Tang Zhendong looked at Old Ye for half a day without speaking, so he put on an air of a young man who is not afraid of tigers.

  "This? Alright, but you guys must be careful." Qian Wenchang was really scared, otherwise for a successful person with a smooth career and successful business, ghosts and gods are just illusions. However, Qian Wenchang really didn't want to see this kind of ghostly scene, which is fundamentally incomprehensible to an atheist like him.

  "Brother, I'll send them over." Qian Wenmei had been eavesdropping on the movements inside the house at the door. After Tang Zhendong suggested going into the house to take a look, Qian Wenmei opened the door and walked in.

  "What? What are you going to do?" Qian Wenchang, a big man, was scared to death by this scene. His sister was a girl and her body was not good, how could she go through that kind of thing.

  "Brother, I'll drive them down to the building, but I won't go up."

  At first, Qian Wen-chang and his mother Shen Fen-hua strongly disagreed, but after Qian Wen-mei bowed her head and said a few words to her brother Qian Wen-chang, he also acquiesced.

  "Miss Qian, just stop here, don't go any further, give me the key." Tang Zhendong stopped Qian Wenmei at the entrance of the community.

  "It's okay, I'll drive the car a bit further in and park it downstairs. Otherwise, it's not safe outside either."

  Since Qian Wenmei said so, Tang Zhendong and Old Ye couldn't say anything else, they had no choice but to follow her.

  He stopped the car in front of the building. "If you have any questions, just call me and I'll be waiting here."

  "Alright, be careful." Tang Zhendong picked up the keys and got out of the car with Old Ye.

  "Xiao Tang, I think I forgot to bring the compass." Old Ye felt a bit apprehensive about entering this legendary haunted house.

  "That thing isn't much use, we're just taking a look, not doing anything else," Tang Zhendong turned his head to glance at Old Ye, "What? Scared?"

  "It's a bit scary, Qian Wenchang and Da De don't seem like people who would lie, besides, if Qian Wenchang lied, Da De would be the one to eat this bowl of rice, he wouldn't dare admit his own fear, or else he'd lose face in this line of work, so I feel they really did see a ghost."

  Lao Ye's analysis is quite reasonable, in fact he has been thinking about this problem all along and has been struggling with intense ideological struggles, whether to go or not. However, since Tang Zhendong said he would go, he naturally couldn't say in front of Qian Wenchang that he was afraid and didn't dare to go, because nominally, Tang Zhendong is still his apprentice.

  Tang Zhendong hehe laughed and explained to Old Ye, "Old Ye, I said I wanted to come here for a reason. You see, we've been to this house before, didn't we see any ghosts?"

  Lao Ye nodded, "No."

  "Others have lived here for over half a year, and they haven't seen any ghosts, have they?"

  "Nor is there."

  "That's it, you still haven't guessed why I came?" Tang Zhendong guided Old Ye step by step to think further.

  Lao Ye thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I understand what you mean. You're saying that even if there are ghosts in his house, they only come out on the 15th of July, and now it's already past 8:30. Let's not go inside their house first, let's wait outside until midnight, then the ghost will automatically disappear. Then we can tell Qian Wenchang that we've caught the ghost, and we can open our mouths wide to ask for money from him. If he agrees, great! If not, we'll just tell him that we'll release the ghost to haunt him. Hahaha!"

  Lao Ye laughed loudly, although the current building has a good sound insulation effect with the thermal insulation layer, but Lao Ye's voice was a bit too loud. Fortunately, Tang Zhendong quickly covered Lao Ye's mouth, causing his laughter to stop abruptly.

  Always calming down the excited emotions for Lao Ye, Tang Zhendong finally loosened his hand covering Lao Ye's mouth. Tang Zhendong was truly amazed by Lao Ye's quick thinking and felt that he was too clever.

  Even Tang Zhendong didn't know that the reason for his coming was so profound and sinister. In fact, Tang Zhendong only thought that there was no danger in coming because everyone else did. Moreover, there were still more than three hours until July 15th, even if there were ghosts, they could only be rampant for a few hours at most. Besides, Tang Zhendong didn't believe in ghosts at all.

  Lao Ye's thinking once again made Tang Zhen Dong realize the importance of experience. It seems that Lao Ye's many years of street vending were not in vain.

  "Let's go!"

  The villa of the Qian family is on the fourth floor, and the design of the Haitian Plaza Garden is higher than this place. Whether it's the first floor or the twenty-eighth floor, you can see the sea, and each house has a place where you can see the sea, which has made the Haitian Garden a reputation for its all-sea-view residences.

  "Didn't we agree not to go in?" Old Ye hastily asked when he saw Tang Zhendong take out the key and prepare to open the door.

  "We can't just stand at the door and blow air, can we? We've all come this far, so let's go in and take a look." Tang Zhendong didn't give Old Ye a chance to say anything else, and had already opened the door.

  Lao Ye saw the door open and immediately closed his eyes. The action was so fast that even Tang Zhen Dong, a master of high level, had to admire his reaction speed.

  The moment the door opened, Tang Zhendong felt that the temperature in this room was terribly low, and there was a cold current rushing towards him. However, Tang Zhendong had a Zhīyáng's water-repelling pearl in his arms, which drove away a lot of cold air for him.

  But Lao Ye beside Tang Zhen Dong immediately felt a chill like ice and snow, and his whole body suddenly had goosebumps.

  Tang Zhendong slowly entered the door with the light from the street lamps outside, and the house was unusually cold. To know that it's just past September, the weather shouldn't be considered cold, even in the early morning and evening, it can only be said to have a cool feeling.

  But this room was unusually cold.

  Tang Zhendong was fearless and his first reaction to unknown things was not fear, but curiosity. Tang Zhendong followed the moonlight and the light outside, walking through this mansion he had been to once before, from top to bottom, and there was nothing unusual in this house except for the coldness.

  But Qian Wenchang and Dade said with certainty that they saw ghosts in this house, not just one or two, but a multitude of ghostly shadows. What's going on here?

  Is it really the legendary July 15th when the Ghost Gate is wide open?

  Tang Zhendong walked very slowly, but after half a day, he found that only he himself was left, and Lao Ye was not following behind. "Lao Ye!" Tang Zhendong shouted, but Lao Ye did not respond. Tang Zhendong was startled, and from the second floor staircase, he jumped down to the ground floor in one swift motion, quickly arriving at the entrance.
