"What kind of old lady?"

"I can't see her face clearly in an old lady wearing red embroidered shoes and wearing small feet. Every time I can only see her feet. She walked towards me step by step, and her red skirt gently shaking, humming a minor opera tune, which felt very strange."

"The old lady with red embroidered shoes? Can you tell what age her clothes are from?"

The loyal fan shook his head and said uncertainly: "Like the late Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China, I'm not sure, but this old lady is obviously resentful. I can feel that she is unhappy, but I don't understand what she has done wrong."

Chu Ci was silent for a moment. It is said that if you think about something on a day and dream about something on a night, you can't think of what you dream about, but it is not exactly the case. Sometimes the environment and feng shui will affect the dream. If the dream is the same as usual, the events are blurred and you can't remember it clearly when you wake up, you usually don't need to pay attention to such a dream. But if you remember the scene in the dream after waking up and have a dream repeatedly, the dream will make you afraid, and this situation is probably a problem.

Chu Ci glanced at her loyal fans. There was no evil spirit on her face, which showed that she was not a ghost. "Where is your home?"

Fans signed up for a community, which was not far from the foot of the mountain, so Chu Ci decided to go and take a look.

Lu Jingxing drove them over.

Chu Ci only found out on the way that his loyal fan named Yang Yue, who was Lu Jingxing's former neighbor and had a good relationship with Lu Jingxing and Su Tai. Yang Yue's family was in good condition before, but he had never survived the economic crisis. After the company went bankrupt, Yang Yue's father sold his property and left a house for his wife and children, so that his wife and daughter could have a place to live. The house was built in old Shanghai, so it was inconvenient to use the toilet.

Chu Ci walked up the dark stairs and came to the third floor. Because the house was old, it came with a very pungent musty smell. The layout of the house was very bad. The corridor was connected to the end, and there were houses on both sides, one set was squeezed and one set was squeezed. All residents shared a kitchen and bathroom, and it was inconvenient to use the toilet to cook.

Yang Yue was a little embarrassed: "My family is in poor conditions, don't care."

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything, Chu Ci smiled and said, "We don't care, you don't have to care."

Yang Yue was stunned and understood what Chu Ci meant. She smiled bitterly. She really cared about this matter. Who told her that she and Su Tai and Lu Jingxing were childhood friends, but they were different from each other?

She lived in such a place because her father went bankrupt, while Lu Jingxing and Su Tai lived in high-end villa areas. They were all luxury cars in and out, and were celebrities when they were traveling. This contrast was so different that Yang Yue rarely thought about these things and brought her friends to her home. She was unwilling to do so, especially Lu Jingxing.

But Yang Yue has been troubled by nightmares recently and heard Su Tai talk about Chu Ci again, so he had to seek Lu Jingxing's help.

Su Tai pushed open the door of Yang Yue's house. Yang Yue's house was not big, and it looked only forty or fifty square meters at a glance. In such a house, there were three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and a family of five. Although the house was small, the house was clean and the use of space reached an abnormal level. Chu Ci entered the door and checked the layout of the house. To be honest, there was a big problem with the layout of the house. This house could hardly see the sunshine, and there was only a window on both sides of the east and west. The house was gloomy and humid, and the room was not good. The door was pushed to the corridor. All the luck in the house could not be circulated. No matter how you look at it, this was not a house with good feng shui.

But no matter how bad the Feng Shui is, Yang Yue's family has lived in it for nearly ten years. If there were any problems, it would have happened long ago. I would never have been able to hit a ghost until now.

Chu Ci took the compass and walked around the house. There was no other problem in the house except for a little squeeze, nor was there any dirty things. This is strange. Judging from Yang Yue's description, there must be a bad thing in the house. So, what is the problem?

Chu Ci eliminated one house after another, and finally returned to the living room. There was no problem with the bedroom. The final problem must be in the living room. Chu Ci looked at the living room and said it was a living room. In fact, it was also used as a bedroom. The living room was not big, so it seemed very crowded if three people stood there. There was a window on the right side of the door. The window was facing an old building, which was far away from the window opposite.

Chu Ci suddenly frowned, and his eyes were attracted by a spittoon on the window.

"What's this?"

"This is..." Seeing that Lu Jingxing had already gone out, Yang Yue blushed and said, "It's a spittoon, but it's not convenient for us to use it on the toilet. I will use it to make a urinal at night. I will pour it out during the day, brush it clean and put it on the window to dry it, otherwise it will smell."

Chu Ci's expression remained unchanged, he stared at the spittoon and looked up at the opposite side.

Opposite is an old three-story building. The style should be left behind during the Republic of China period, with a bit Western style. The windows of the villa are exactly opposite to those of Yang Yue’s house. At first glance, there is no one there.

But Chu Ci saw it.

In the old doors and windows, an old lady wearing a red cheongsam was lying on a rocking chair, closing her eyes and shaking again and again.

As if she noticed someone was looking at her, she suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Chu Ci with a slight look on her eyes.

Chu Ci looked directly at her expressionlessly, as if he could see Chu Ci could see her, and the old lady stood up.

The cheongsam was dragged to her ankle, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes.

Chu Ci was far away and could only see clearly that the embroidered shoes were red and bright in color.

Chu Ci turned his head and asked Yang Yue:

"Did the old lady in your dream have white curly hair and a red cheongsam?"

Yang Yue recalled for a moment and nodded quickly: "Yes! Chuchu, it's a red cheongsam! Sometimes she walked towards me and waved to me, sometimes she lies on a rocking chair and waved to me through a window. I was really scared because there was such a window in my house that was exactly the same as in my dream!"

At this moment, the old lady opposite was still lying on the rocking chair, waving to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci glanced at her, turned to Yang Yue and said, "Don't worry, there are no ghosts in this room."

"No? Then why do I have such a strange dream?" Yang Yue asked with a frown.

Chu Ci stared at the red spittoon on the window and smiled:

"The reason is very simple. It's on this spittoon. Your spittoon is used as a urinary pot. Things related to feces and urine are evil. If you put the urinary pot on the window and face the window opposite all day long, the residents of the house will naturally have opinions. Not to mention the impact on the Feng Shui of others, who can bear the smell of this day? Therefore, it's your spittoon that you have made a taboo. Take off the spittoon and ensure that you won't have nightmares tonight."

Yang Yue never expected that everything was because of this spittoon. Just putting a spittoon on the window made people taboo?

"But, Chuchu! No! There are no residents on the other side, how could I affect other people's feng shui?"

Chu Ci snorted and laughed: "Who said there wasn't it? It's just that you can't see it."

Understanding what she meant, Yang Yue shivered. The building opposite was locked by the government and was not open to the public or used. There was no one there forever, and other windows were closed tightly. Only the window opposite Yang Yue's house was opened. The sun shone in every day and happened to fall on the rocking chair beside the window. Yang Yue had seen the rocking chair move when he was a child, but adults didn't believe it. He never saw it again when he grew up.

Yang Yue was startled and couldn't help but hide behind Chu Ci. According to Chu Ci's words, there was a ghost on the other side! Could it be that the white-haired cheongsam old lady? Yang Yue didn't dare to ask too much, and asked Chu Ci to ask for a talisman and stick it on the window to ensure safety.

——

Chu Ci knew that she couldn't afford to pay too much money, so he didn't want it. As long as Yang Yue did a good deed, Yang Yue was so scared that she couldn't object, so she said she would go out to volunteer on the weekend.

Leaving Yang Yue's house, Lu Jingxing was about to drive, but when he heard Chu Ci laughing:

"You go to the car to wait for me first, and I'll go to this room to take a look."

Lu Jingxing frowned: "I'll go with you."

"No, you have a more important role." Chu Ci paused, and smiled under Lu Jingxing's puzzled look: "Bring me up!"

Chu Ci stepped on Lu Jingxing's hand and climbed up the wall, climbed into the villa. As soon as she entered, the old lady sat up and asked in disbelief: "Can you see me?"

Chu Ci asked replies without answering: "After so long, why don't you reincarnate?"

The old lady has obviously been dead for many years, but strangely, she has been lying on this rocking chair. Even if she gets up, she has not left the rocking chair. It can be seen that the old lady cannot leave here, so Chu Ci is surprised that in this situation, she is usually trapped.

The old lady laughed: "I have died for a long time. That day, it was the same as usual. The sun was very bright. When I shone in through this window, it made people feel very comfortable. The sun was lazy. I lay on the rocking chair with my eyes closed. I had an intuition. I had not long lived for a long time. I didn't expect it to be so. I died that day. At that time, the world was chaotic and my children died early. After my wife died, I lived alone. I rarely went out on weekdays. The neighbors didn't know that I was dead. It was not until my bones rotted on the rocking chair that someone discovered it. But strangely, for some reason, I couldn't leave the rocking chair and couldn't leave at all. I was trapped here for many years."

The old lady's smile was a little lonely. Chu Ci couldn't imagine how she lived in this long time when she was trapped in this chair.

"No one has seen you in these years?"

"Yes, they are all children. When I saw me coming home, the adults didn't believe it, and I didn't want to scare them."

Chu Ci nodded and looked around her rocking chair. It was strange. After so many years, this building still maintained the decorations of the past, and even the position of the rocking chair was not changed. Chu Ci stared at her for a while and frowned:

"Where did this pocket watch on your neck come from?"

The old lady opened the pocket watch and said, "This is what my old man gave me. There is a photo of me and him inside. This is my lucky thing. Since I wore this pocket watch, I have always been able to escape disasters. Therefore, I have been wearing it until I die, and the pocket watch has never left me for a day."

Chu Ci stared at the pocket watch for a moment, and suddenly said, "You try to open the pocket watch."

No ghost things are physical, and opening the pocket watch is just something that can be controlled by the mind. The old lady opened the back cover of the pocket watch and then realized that there was a small gossip picture behind the dial of the pocket watch. The gossip picture is the same size as the watch, and it is engraved in the pocket watch. It is impossible to see it without opening the pocket watch. The watchmaking process was very developed many years ago. At that time, the handmade watch was very accurate for one or two hundred years. The old lady cherished the pocket watch very much. It was impossible to repair it if the watch was not broken, so she didn't know about it.

"Is it because of this table?"

Chu Ci nodded with a smile: "Yes, because of this watch, wearing a pocket watch when you die is equivalent to being suppressed by this gossip diagram, so the soul cannot leave. I will help you with a way to reincarnate."

The old lady sighed without realizing it. How could she know that the reason why she always felt lucky was that the old man found someone to carve a gossip diagram in his watch. This gossip diagram has the effect of a talisman, so that she treated the watch as a lucky thing, but she didn't know that everything had nothing to do with the watch.

Chu Ci took out his hairpin, made a simple spell for the old lady, burned another piece of talisman paper, and chanted the spell silently. Soon, the old lady's figure changed and she could move at any time. The old lady felt that her soul was summoned, and she smiled and said:

"You helped me, as a thank you, I need a reminder."

Chu Ci frowned slightly and stared at her without blinking.

"Your old acquaintance has been looking for you, be careful!"

Chu Ci didn't say anything, watching her disappear quietly. What did the old lady mean in the end?

The owner of the corpse oil perfume shop said some inexplicable things last time. Are they talking about the same thing?

Who will be an old friend? Is this life or the previous life?

Chu Ci thought of this and crawled out of the villa, and Lu Jingxing hugged her down.

——

The next day was the day for the recording of "The Metaphysical War". Before she knew it, the Metaphysical War of this season was approaching the end. Xiao Wei sent a message hoping that she must be present for the remaining two episodes, and wanted to get a better viewership before the show ended to bring the perfect end to this season.

Lu Jingxing bought breakfast early in the morning and gave it to Chu Ci to the recording site. Before getting off the car, Chu Ci smiled and said:

"Do you want to record a show?"

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "The Genius Goddess Calculation is waiting for me to film. Such a good opportunity, let me leave it to Chu Shen for performance!"

Chu Ci laughed, put on makeup and put on a mask, and the program began to be recorded.

Several celestial masters greeted him, Zuo Tian made a simple opening, and the program began. It was still the small wooden house, and it was still the real client. Everyone sat down around the wooden table and waited for the client to come up.

What Chu Ci did not expect was that the client turned out to be a pregnant woman.

"My name is Yang Xiaoqin."

Yang Xiaoqin is in her early thirties, with medium-length hair, pale skin, and some freckles under her eyes. She looks not in good spirits. Her belly is already very big, and it seems that she is at least seven or eight months old. It is logical that women in this month should be happy to welcome the baby, but she is in a bad spirit, with tired faces, dark circles, and sunken cheeks, which looks very bad.

Yan Tianxin immediately asked with concern:

"Miss Yang, are you okay? You look in a bad mood."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaoqin started crying. After all, it was a woman's business. Several male masters didn't ask too many questions, and Yan Tianxin said first:

"Miss Yang, tell us if you have anything to do, we will definitely help you solve it!"

Yang Xiaoqin wiped away her tears and sobbed:

"The purpose of my visit this time is very simple. I mainly want to ask all the masters to help me calculate my fortune and see why my life is so miserable!"
