Chapter 5 The four of them broke into the courtyard at night and were frightened, and the mysterious old man rescued them with a lamp
I turned back three times step by step, walked for a long time and finally met with Fat Bird Shengli, and looked back at the three people behind me, and they also followed closely behind.
Although the road was calm and waveless, I always felt that there was an undercurrent, and the sky was already slightly dark.
The layout of the deep part of the courtyard is not complicated, first of all, it is a brown old house, which exudes a strange aroma from the inside out.
When we looked up, four big characters came into view, "Mu Clan Ancestral Hall".
Seeing this solemn plaque, we dispelled the idea of going in to find out, because sneaking in was disrespectful to the ancestors, not to mention that this was someone else's ancestor.
At this time, Lao Zhao opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that this is the ancestral hall of the Mu family to worship their ancestors, we trespassed in, this behavior is a little inappropriate, why don't you leave now?"
Lao Zhao's proposal was immediately unanimously approved by everyone, and we immediately decided to leave quickly, and we must not be disrespectful to other people's ancestors.
We first put our hands together in front of the ancestral hall and bowed slightly.
Then we turned around and prepared to retreat, just as we were about to leave, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and with a "squeak" sound, the door of the house opened, and we were a little panicked, but we couldn't help but look into the house.
I saw hundreds of tablets of all sizes displayed in the house, and the two red oil candles in front of the tablets were flickering and the candlelight was swaying in the wind, and the candlelight was beating with the breeze, but the candlelight was still vigorous.
The tablet in the middle turned out to be Muzeng's tablet, and next to it was naturally the tablet of Aleqiu, which turned out to be not a legend, but a real existence.
At this time, the four of us were already frightened by this eerie atmosphere, and we all ran away, all trying to escape from here as soon as possible.
However, after running wildly for a long time, when I stopped to breathe, when I looked back, I let out an exclamation of "ah" in unison, why are we still at the door of the ancestral hall?
After the screaming, we ran again until we were exhausted, and by this time the night had completely fallen, and when we looked back again, we were almost incontinent.
Woo woo, don't bully people so much, why are we still in the same place after running so hard for so long, almost running off the food?
At this time, a majestic and burly figure floated out from the Mu Clan's ancestral hall, and he asked in a majestic voice: "Everyone, why did you come here without permission and disturb our peace?"
This time we finally understood that it was all him who teased us if we couldn't run away. In this case, it was certainly useless to keep running, so they began to huddle together, asking each other what to do in a shaky voice.
Seeing that the four of us were patronizing and thinking about how to deal with it, and deaf to his question, he raised his voice again and asked, "Didn't you hear my question, why are you here?"
The sound of Ruohong Zhong shook our brains a little, and I relieved my mind slightly, and I mustered up the courage to whisper: "Hello seniors, we have accidentally strayed here, and we never wanted to disturb the peace of your old man's house, please forgive me." Aren't we ready to leave? But we've tried so hard that we just can't get out. ”
The three companions on the side immediately nodded to the majestic figure in front of them, affirming my statement.
After hearing what I said, the figure "snorted" and said, "It turned out to be four timid children, which are really boring, but it is not so easy to leave." ”
Hearing that it was not so easy to leave, we were a bit of a six-god.
Just as we panicked, the burly figure raised his right hand and put his index and middle fingers together to point at a distance.
Suddenly, a white light shot straight out, hitting our nerves directly, and with a tingling sensation in our backs, we lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, I woke up and found myself still lying in front of the ancestral hall.
Looking around again, Lao Zhao and the three of them were also on the side, and they also began to wake up, and there was a strange old man squatting next to us, and holding a white flashlight, shining on us, very dazzling.
This elusive old man, frightened and finally woke up, almost fainted again, we were frightened, we were afraid of everything, the four of us immediately hugged together again, trying to avoid the old man's white light.
However, the old man is very persistent, just like looking at a goblin in a demon mirror, he has to show that he is ugly.
I plucked up the courage and asked, "You, you, who are you?"
At this time, the old man finally opened his mouth and said, "You bear babies, how did you run here?"
His voice was serious but kind, and I asked weakly, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The old man smiled and said, "Where the hell did you come from? ”
Hearing his rhetorical question, I felt it carefully, and then I felt the popularity, and my courage recovered a little.
I eased my emotions and said weakly: "Uncle, we got lost, and we came here unconsciously, I don't know why just now, it feels like hitting a ghost hitting the wall, no matter how you run, you can't run out of this place, please uncle save us." ”
I'm just talking nonsense with my eyes open, people's doors are locked well, and we can enter through the door as soon as we get lost?
Fortunately, the uncle didn't think about the twists and turns in detail, otherwise my statement would not stand up to scrutiny at all.
The uncle didn't delve into what he said to me as if he had hit a ghost, but he just stood up and said, "There are no ghosts in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves." Arise y'all, and follow me. ”
We helped each other to get up, I looked back, and found that the doors and windows of the Mu clan ancestral hall were closed again, everything was safe and sound, as if nothing had happened, and I thought that this uncle's action to clean up the scene was really fast enough.
The uncle led the way in front, and the four of us obediently followed, this time through the front door.
When we walked out of the front door, the uncle turned around and locked the door, saying, "You bear babies, you are really naughty, but fortunately, the objects inside are not damaged, and I won't bother with you, I will send you out, and you can't be naughty in the future." ”
We all expressed our gratitude to the uncle for his magnanimity and said that we would never be naughty again in the future.
If you come to this terrible place, you will regret it for half your life, and if you want to do it again, won't you spend your whole life in regret.
When we left Mufu, the sky was already full of stars, and the time was almost midnight.
The ancient city was even more beautiful under the cover of night, and we were all tired and confused. I didn't want to go shopping anymore, so I went back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, the same thing was the same, and the four of us sat down together and began to reminisce about the evening.
Then Lao Zhao asked, "Did you smell a strange smell in that small courtyard?"
After Lao Zhao reminded us, we all thought that we did have this experience, so we nodded our heads to indicate that we had smelled it.
Lao Zhao continued: "It is said that there is a plant called corpse incense konjac flower, and its aroma can cause people to hallucinate without knowing it, and I suspect that the smell just now is emitted by it." And what we experienced was just hallucinations, and then when I woke up, I felt a fresh smell in my nose, like a mint fragrance, which I think was used by the uncle to help us get rid of the hallucinations. ”
Xiaobai asked again: "Is it really so magical?"
Lao Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Then can you recall the plot you experienced?"
Then the four of us thought about it several times, and each vaguely described our own experiences, and found that they were all different.
Then Lao Zhao concluded: "In this way, what we have experienced must be an illusion, the four of us have always been inseparable, if it is a real experience, it should be the same, and there will never be a different situation." ”
After Lao Zhao's analysis, I suddenly felt that he was really a talent, and this kind of strange knowledge could be understood.
After arriving at this reasonable explanation, the gloom and confusion in our hearts have dissipated a lot.
It turns out that everything is so simple, you must know that this experience almost destroyed our three views.
Then Lao Zhao said: "Of course, there are more than this hallucinations, maybe something else, in short, what we experience must be hallucinations." ”
In order to soothe our frightened hearts, we all accepted Lao Zhao's explanation very positively and willingly.
At this time, the beautiful shopkeeper rushed over with a fat parrot in her arms, and saw that there were still tears on her face.
She said anxiously: "My ingots went out with you in the afternoon, and when they flew back at night and fell to the ground, they were unconscious, and they couldn't see what was going on." It's all your fault, it's all your fault, woo woo~"
Looking at the beautiful store with rain in pear blossoms, we all felt very guilty.
At this time, Lao Zhao patted his brain and asked, "Beauty, don't cry first, do you have fresh mint here?"
The beauty glanced at Lao Zhao, choked up and said, "Peppermint is used to make mint tea that awakens the brain and refreshes the mind, so there is naturally it." ”
Lao Zhao said again: "Then I have a way, you can take some mint leaves." ”
After hearing this, the beauty hurriedly took a basket of mint, and Lao Zhao picked a few young leaves from it, took a teacup and crushed it, and wiped it under the nose of the fat bird.
After about half an hour, the fat bird really woke up, and it can be concluded that Lao Zhao's judgment just now was completely correct.
We took turns patting Lao Zhao's shoulder and said, "Lao Zhao, it's really good, it's amazing." ”
Look at the fat bird again, although it has woken up, it still seems to be a little ignorant, maybe it has also experienced the destruction of the three views just now and has not come to its senses!
When the beautiful shopkeeper saw this, she was surprised, and thanked Lao Zhao seriously, and then her gaze towards Lao Zhao became much softer.
This is the power of knowledge, and knowledge can create everything, including peach blossom luck. This made me deeply understand that "there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book".
Exhausted from the thrilling adventures that had preceded us, we slept all night without a dream.
The next day, except for a casual lunch at noon, we spent almost the day recuperating.
Since everyone was a young and vigorous young man, after a day's rest, by the evening he had gotten rid of the sequelae of fright.
