Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Does the Underworld Accept Foreign Ghosts?_1

A gentle beam of light shot in from outside the window, casting its glow on you, suddenly brightening the originally dim and stuffy living room.

The light, cheerful piano sound, like an innocent, lively child, dispelled the gloomy, eerie atmosphere inside the building with its arrival.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the wind had started to blow.

With the breeze that slipped in through the open window, the curtains were gently fluttered.

In the wind, mixed with the scent of fresh grass and the fragrance of wildflowers, the gloominess inside was blown away.

And that seemingly terrifying porcelain doll, in the spring-scented wind, turned into dust and gradually scattered.

The piece concluded, and the room had already returned to its bright and clean state.

Seeing the surroundings return to normal, Ruan Yuling sighed softly and said, "Finally, everything is back to normal. Brother Yun, this house is just too eerie. Let’s leave."

"Sister Ling, wait a minute. Since we’re here, let’s take care of all the unfinished business, so you’ll feel more at ease living here in the future."

"I wouldn’t dare to live in this place alone," Ruan Yuling looked at you with a flirtatious expression, her voice tinged with a hint of magnetism, constantly stirring your heart, "But if Brother Yun could stay with his sister, I’d be very willing."

Ignoring Ruan Yuling’s words, you rose from the piano stool and turned to walk towards the staircase.

The situation was resolved, the Sen Luo Eye had recovered. You raised your head slightly and looked at the three paintings on the stairwell wall.

"Are these three paintings problematic?"

"Hmm."

"No wonder, every time I look at these three paintings, I always feel a strange sensation, as if they were constantly staring at me."

"Indeed, they are watching us."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yuling moved closer to you and whispered, "Is there something dirty in the paintings?"

Still without responding, at that moment twenty-four yellow cinnabar charms flew out of your pocket. These charms flew out of the open window and formed an Innate Bagua Formation above the manor; under the sunlight, the yellow cinnabar charms ignited by themselves, and the flames swiftly converged into a large Magic Seal. As soon as the seal formed, outside the manor’s boundary wall, in the Linzi, Hong Ruinian shuddered, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood and his face turning deathly pale.

Hong Ruinian stood up with a dark expression, seeing the dense script on the booklet gradually vanishing. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared fiercely at the manor, and said in a deep voice, "Li Muyun, next time, you won’t be so lucky!"

With those words, Hong Ruinian staggered away.

Inside the manor’s living room, Ruan Yuling asked you, "Brother Yun, tell me, what exactly happened in this house?"

Looking up at the three paintings on the wall, you sighed softly and said, "Didn’t the real estate agent say that the first owner of this house, Anthony, had already left before the turmoil in China? Actually, the person who left wasn’t Anthony, but the former boyfriend of Anthony’s wife."

"Could it be that Anthony’s family was killed by that man?"

"Yes, indeed, it was a premeditated murder. That man used the gift of porcelain dolls to secretly fill them with some kind of highly corrosive liquid. Just like the argument we heard in the baby room earlier, Anthony and his wife had a severe fight that night, which caused Anthony to lose control of his emotions and smash the porcelain doll, causing the liquid inside to spill out. The liquid must have been highly volatile, so the family of three suffered its effects almost instantly."

"If that’s the case, why are they troubling us? The murderer is that man; they should be seeking revenge against him."

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but laugh, "This incident is almost a hundred years old; even if they harbored resentment, it should have dissipated long ago. Besides, Anthony had two other tenants after him, and they weren’t harmed at all, which proves that Anthony’s family didn’t want to hurt anyone. Moreover, they not only did not harm us but also gave me hints from the start. The piano piece I heard earlier at the door was the key to breaking the situation, and obviously, that piece was played by Anthony specifically for me to hear."

As expected, the white grand piano started playing automatically once again.

However, the piece was very pleasant to the ear and did not carry any negative emotions. It was cheerful and relaxing, making one feel comfortable almost involuntarily after listening.

After the piece finished playing, you stepped forward and spoke a series of words to the portraits that Ruan Yuling did not understand. Then, she also heard the words without understanding them, confirming their existence.

After a brief exchange, eight yellow cinnabar charms flew out of your pocket again, forming an Eight Trigrams Array at a right angle to the ground not far from you.

Soon, the sound of the Soul Locking Chain dragging on the ground emanated from within the Array: "Clang... Clang... Clang..."

The Kan Family Brothers appeared out of the Array, and Kan Zihui saluted you: "Master Li, long time no see."

You returned the salute to Kan Zihui: "Elder Brother Cha, may I inquire whether the Underworld takes foreign ghosts?"

Kan Zihui was startled at first, then smiled and said, "Our Underworld makes no distinction between races. Anyone who dies within the jurisdiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will be accepted by the Underworld."

"Then how do they enter the six realms of reincarnation?"

"If it was a hundred years ago when there were few foreigners, it would have been quite troublesome. But now it’s much simpler. There are many foreigners in China now, and when they die in China, just like the Huaxia people, they undergo judgement in the Underworld and enter the cycle of the six realms of reincarnation; if they enter the Mortal Way, they will likely be born into the families of foreigners in their next life."

Nodding, you turned back to the portraits to say a few more words, then three souls floated out from the paintings: an adult man holding the hand of an adult woman, with the woman holding a child of about two years old in her arms.

This was Anthony’s family. They floated over to you, expressed their gratitude in German, and then followed the Kan Family Brothers away.

Ruan Yuling did not have the ability to see ghosts. Seeing that the surroundings had quieted down again, she asked you, "Have they all gone?"

"Yes, they’ve all left; now, this western-style building is completely yours."

Ruan Yuling chuckled softly, "I have plenty of houses; but no matter how many I have, what’s the point? The larger the house, the more empty the heart."

"Sister Ling, I think you should let go of your status and truly integrate into society, to find your true love. After all, there are still many good men in China."

You thought Ruan Yuling would say something more, but she just smiled and remained silent.

You naturally skipped over the topic, looked around, and said to her, "Sister Ling, even if you renovate this house, don’t move in for the time being. After I have resolved the matter, I will notify you."
