Chapter 131:
Teahouse in the Imperial Capital, Natural Inn.
There was a refined storyteller named "Clairaudience" dressed in a moon-white robe, speaking to the tea guests below:
"Today, I will tell you about a recent strange phenomenon in the Imperial Capital… It is quite mysterious and is known as the Ten Mysteries of the Imperial Capital!"
"Now, let me tell you about an old house in the east of the city, which was originally owned by a family named Fang…"
"One night, the head of the Fang family suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and saw a ghostly figure in a red robe standing by the courtyard gate, appearing and disappearing…"
"The head of the Fang family didn’t take it seriously, but little did he know that every night, the red ghostly figure, which seemed to be getting closer to him, appeared."
"On the first day, it was still at the front gate of the house. On the seventh day, it was already at the bedroom door. On the tenth day… it had entered the bedroom and stood silently behind a folding screen, watching him. On the fifteenth day, it was already standing by his bedside!"
"Since then, the head of the Fang family and his wife have been plagued by sleepless nights, nightmares, and drenched in sweat, even after seeking numerous renowned doctors in the Imperial Capital."
"One day, he finally met an old doctor who told him that he wasn’t sick but rather frightened. The doctor said that there were unclean things in his ancestral home and advised him to move out soon."
