It was pitch dark inside the shop, but it didn't affect my sight.

Just as I had guessed, the lower level of the attic was filled with dusty incense paper bundles.

There is another staircase leading upstairs.

At this time, the house was full of dust, but because it was a haunted house, no mouse holes or spider webs were seen.

Animals are all spiritual and know where to enter and where not to enter.

It's just that this place looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time and needs a good cleaning.

"Master Sang also said that there is an old man to help take care of it. This is too unreliable."

I was just about to go up to the second floor to take a look when I suddenly realized that Liu Jin was still outside.

"Brother Liu, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea before you leave?"

Liu Jin quickly shook his head like a rattle and handed me the things from outside the door.

"Let's forget it! This place has too much yin energy. I'm afraid that if I go in, I'll be sent away directly.

Then you can clean it up yourself first, and I will come over to see you after I finish my work there."

As he spoke, Liu Jin waved his hand towards me, turned around and left alone.

I then turned and walked towards the attic.

There was a creaking sound from the stairs, but fortunately they were relatively strong.

I took a quick look and the situation is similar to the following.

The degree of damage is not high, but it still needs a simple cleaning.

This house has not been inhabited for many years, so there is no hope of having water or electricity.

It’s been a bumpy day and I’m too lazy to clean up.

I threw away the moldy bedding on the bed and just spent the night on the bed board.

After all, no one has lived in this house for thirty years, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to clean it up in less than three to five days.

Just when I was drowsy, something fluffy suddenly crossed my cheek, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at me in the darkness.

I suddenly opened my eyes and pulled out the bamboo stick from my sleeve reflexively.

The whole person's figure rolled up.

Squatting on the head of the bed was an old black cat half as tall as a man.

This old cat has dark yellow whiskers and wrinkles all over his face, making him look very old.

The old cat didn't run away when it saw me, it just stared at the bamboo stick in my hand.

"Did Xiao Sang ask you to come here?"

I was completely stunned, this old cat could actually speak human language.

Only then did I recall what Mr. Sang had said, and my heart skipped a beat.

This old cat actually calls Master Sang Little Sang. He must have lived for an unknown number of years.

"Are you the old friend that Mr. Sang mentioned?"

The old cat shook its thick tail, with a faint light in its eyes.

"In terms of seniority, he has to call me uncle."

I was stunned, I didn't expect this old cat to be so senior.

If even Mr. Sang has to call him uncle, then I must not call him master.

"That black cat master, have you been guarding here all these years?"

"Otherwise. If I hadn't been playing tricks here, this shabby house would have been demolished long ago."

I just said that this house has not been lived in for so many years, but it is still so well-preserved.

It seems that this old cat is the old friend that Mr. Sang calls him.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the old man Mr. Sang spoke of was not a human being.

"How has Xiao Sang been doing these years?"

The old cat shook his beard and asked.

"Master Sang has been staying in Laolingou all these years..."

I told the old black cat what happened to Mr. Sang over the years.

"Hey... so many years have passed since the incident, but I can't believe that he still can't let go of it and hides himself in that poor ravine."

I frowned slightly, it seemed like the black cat knew about Mr. Sang's past.

I was just about to open my mouth and ask about Mr. Sang's past, when there seemed to be a sound of footsteps coming from the attic.

"Is there anyone?"

Could it be that Liu Jin is back again!

I was just in a daze for a moment, and when I turned around again, the black cat on the bedside had disappeared.

"You can stay here peacefully and don't disturb me if nothing happens.

If you encounter any trouble, put three sticks of incense in front of the spiritual tablet on the cabinet, and I will appear to help you."

The voice of the Black Cat Ancestor rang in my ears, but there was no trace of him in the house.

I looked at the cabinet not far away, and sure enough there was a spiritual tablet standing on it.

"Living Immortal, are you there? Is the Living Immortal back?"

A trembling voice came from the attic, sounding like fear.

Does this sound sound familiar?

I smacked my lips and walked down the stairs.

"Who?"

"Little brother, it's me, it's me. We just met."

Following the dim light, a middle-aged man's figure stood outside the door.

Then I remembered, wasn't this the elder brother I met just now when I asked for directions.

Why is he here?

I frowned and walked towards the door.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The man glanced towards the attic with a respectful look on his face.

"Has the Living God come back?"

"What kind of living god?" I looked confused.

The man quickly explained.

"Little brother, that's it!

My name is Guo Sheng. The old immortal who lived here helped my father cure his illness, otherwise he wouldn't be able to have me now.

It was only after you left that my dad realized what he was doing.

You specially asked me to come over to see if the old immortal has returned, so that I can express my gratitude in person!"

Only then did I realize that it seemed that the old gentleman just now must have had some interactions with Mr. Sang.

"Master Sang hasn't come back, so I'll come here by myself this time."

When I came back on my own that day, there was a look of disappointment in Guo Sheng's eyes.

"Brother Guo, do you have anything else to do?"

Guo Sheng waved his hand quickly.

"There's nothing wrong with me. Something strange happened to an old colleague of my dad's family recently.

I don't think that if the living god comes back, I can ask his old man to help me go and take a look.

Since the old god is not here, I will go back first."

I rolled my eyes and waved to Guo Sheng.

"Brother Guo, please wait a moment. Can you tell me in detail what kind of evil thing it is?"

Guo Sheng couldn't help but look me up and down, his eyes obviously didn't trust me.

The main reason is that I am too young and I don’t look like a capable person.

Now that I'm new here, I don't have much reputation.

If we can build a brand with this, it will be the icing on the cake for the incense and candle shop to reopen.
