Chapter 85 - 85 81 Pretending to Be a God Playing the Ghost
?Chapter 85: Chapter 81: Pretending to Be a God, Playing the Ghost Chapter 85: Chapter 81: Pretending to Be a God, Playing the Ghost The clouds at the edge of the sky were a dismal gray, the hour was not yet clear, showing a pale whiteness of dawn. Li Ping’an, who had ridden through the night, finally saw a residence ahead, a grand manor with definitely three sets of courtyards.
“Let’s first stop at this residence for lodging and rest for a day; after refreshing overnight, head to Chang’an early tomorrow!”
Having made up his mind, Li Ping’an spurred his horse, rushing towards the manor,
“It’s already been abandoned!”
There was a plaque above the manor’s gate inscribed with “Zhengqi Manor”, clearly crafted by a renowned artist. Though it was all in ruins and filled with a ghostly aura, the architecture, with its drooping lotus-shaped column bases and elephant-nosed beams, the painted rafters and carved beams, and the grand mansion itself, had once belonged to a wealthy family.
Zhengqi Manor was surrounded by towering trees that covered the sky, with ghostly fog curling around, hidden traces of wolves and insects, tigers and panthers that disappeared from sight, and groups of crows and bats flying wildly.
“I get it; these are ancient locust trees over a hundred years old, which attract ghosts; this place gradually fell into decay, no longer inhabited by people, but that’s fine, living here will surely be undisturbed!”
Ordinary people, if they saw such haunted mansions and ghostly houses, would definitely walk around them, but now, Li Ping’an, who had seen ghosts and fought demons, wouldn’t hesitate to live even in a Messy Burial Mound.
Leading his horse, he pushed open the main door and walked inside, saw an archway, and continued on. When he reached the outside of the main hall, Li Ping’an tied his horse at the entrance, mustered his courage, and pushed the door open.
Inside the main hall, it was pitch black, truly dark and silent. It was so dimly lit that one couldn’t see anything clearly. It had been centuries since sunlight had entered, millennia since moonlight had shone, no differentiation of north or south, nor discernment of east or west; thick black smoke enveloped the chilly air, sending shivers through the body. No traces of humans, only the haunts of fairies, one could open their eyes wide yet see nothing, stretch out hands but not see the palms.
With a puff, Li Ping’an lit a Fire Starter and the hall suddenly brightened, and everything became clear.
“Fuck! That scared me to death!”
