Chapter 424: The Strange Old House

………… The first time Liu Dong encountered this situation, the original relics that he had tried and tried were actually compressed to a range of fifty meters, only a quarter of the original, and whenever he tried hard in his heart to push the relics to continue to expand around, it seemed that there was an invisible wall around him blocking all his efforts.

"What's wrong with Liu Dong, his face is so ugly?" Then after seeing the change in the look on Liu Dong's face in the dim light of the street lamp, Jiang Tingting asked.

"It's nothing!" After Liu Dong finished speaking, his expression relaxed slightly, but the solemnity in his eyes did not disperse, but became more and more heavy.

"Arrived?" asked Liu Dong after noticing that Jiang Tingting's car had stopped.

"Well, here it is! I looked it up on the Internet, and here it is!"

Following the direction of Jiang Tingting's finger, an old-fashioned building with undulating brick structure appeared in his eyes in the darkness.

Compared with the brilliant lights around, this area, which covers an area of only more than 1,000 square meters, seems to have been dug up by someone, dark and quiet, with lush trees, with a hint of ghostly atmosphere.

"Tingting, why don't we go back, this place looks too infiltrating!" After getting out of the car, Li Yuncong said with a hint of fear in his tone.

"Look at your little bit of interest, isn't it just a black spot, what's there to be afraid of!" Before Jiang Tingting could speak, Zhuang Wen said first, obviously this is also a bold master.

"That's it, you're a big man and not as bold as our two women, aren't you ashamed!"

Faced with the disdain of the two women, Li Yuncong was angry. In the end, I had to sigh deeply! If he knew who brought Jiang Tingting here. Li Yuncong must have beaten out all his egg yolks.

Compared to the ease of the two women. Liu Dong's expression has always been calm since he got out of the car, but the prudence in his eyes and the vigilance in his heart have become more and more solemn, because he found that the closer he got to this courtyard hidden in darkness, the more severe the compression of his relics Yuanguang became.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Tingting took out the flashlight she had prepared earlier, sent it down one by one, and then took out four machetes with a length of about 60 cm from the trunk!

"Tingting. Can't you see that you're quite well prepared?" After taking the knife, Li Yuncong said in surprise.

Hearing this, Jiang Tingting's pretty face was raised, and she said proudly: "Hey, this is nothing, I still have this!" As she spoke, she pulled out an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun from the trunk.

"How's that? This gun is good, isn't it?"

"Tingting, where did you get this gun?" Li Yuncong's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked. Guns are nothing else, they're deadly. What's more, this is still the capital, if it really shoots here. Even if they have a deep background, I am afraid that a lesson is indispensable.

"Look at you, this is my father's collection, I secretly took it out this afternoon, and I just used it for self-defense!" Jiang Tingting said, taking out a thumb-thick bullet from the car and starting to load, looking at her skillful movements, it was obvious that she had played with this hunting gun before.

"Okay, once you're ready, let's go!" Jiang Tingting finished distributing the things, and finally took out a portable camera from the trunk, locked the car, and said confidently. Looking at her like that, it didn't look like she was going on an adventure, but more like a recruit about to set foot on the battlefield.

"Xiaodong, what's wrong with you? After getting out of the car, you didn't say a word!" Li Yuncong held the knife in his hand, and his courage grew a little, and after noticing Liu Dong's expression, he couldn't help but question.

"It's nothing ......!" Liu Dong hesitated for a moment, but finally did not express his worries.

The place where the four people got off was an old asphalt road more than five meters wide, and cracks of different lengths had appeared on the road. And there are a few broken places not far away, but they have been filled with slag!

And compared to other places, the sides of the road next to the back door of the Huguang Guild Hall look much more desolate, and bunches of weeds of different thicknesses in the cracks of the roadside bricks and tiles sway freely in the autumn evening breeze. Thankfully, it's not time for the trees to lose their leaves, otherwise it would have been even more desolate.

Across the road is not wide, the four of them came to the back door of the Huguang Guild Hall, the style of the back door is no different from the style of the entrance door of the Laobei-Beijing Courtyard, but from the copper shop that has not yet completely rusted, and the hollow carvings representing the auspicious meaning of the "Wufu Linmen" and "Canglong Godson" above the eaves are still intact, you can still see the general appearance of the Huguang Guild Hall when it was glorious.

However, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes of wind and rain, coupled with the boiling haunted rumors, the Huguang Guild Hall, which used to be full of people, is now slowly peeling off like the vermilion lacquer on this gate!

"Tingting, this door is locked, how can we get in?" Looking at the iron general who guarded the door, Zhuang Wen frowned and asked.

"Hee-hee, don't worry!Miss Ben has already been ready!" As she spoke, she saw Jiang Tingting take out a long key from her trouser pocket, insert it into the lock and try it, and then opened it with a 'click'!

Looking at the look of surprise on the faces of several people, Jiang Tingting took out the key and said proudly: "Looking for my third cousin's request, the real master key, how about it, not bad?"

"Tingting, it seems that you have spent a lot of effort preparing for today?"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Jiang Tingting raised her head, wrinkled her nose, and said proudly: "That's!"

"Let's go, let's go in! I don't believe there are ghosts in here!" As she spoke, Jiang Tingting opened the chain tied to the back of the door, and then pushed the door open.

I don't know if it's because this door hasn't been opened for a long time, when Jiang Tingting pushed the door, the hoarse friction sound was extremely loud in the silent night, and it was unusually mad.

And with the opening of this wooden door, a mysterious world that most people in the capital were terrified of was unveiled in front of the four of them.

"How do you feel so cold all of a sudden!" After the four of them entered the door, Li Yuncong said suddenly.

Jiang Tingting didn't refute this time, it was indeed much better than Li Yuncong, since they stepped into the door, the temperature around them immediately dropped by two or three degrees.

This abnormal change made Jiang Tingting and Zhuang Wen, who had a big personality, also muttered a little in their hearts, and their bodies couldn't help but move closer to Liu Dong a little, of course, Zhuang Wen was naturally looking for Li Yuncong.

"I'll go ahead, you follow carefully!" Liu Dong said with a cautious expression, after entering the door, his relics Yuanguang had been compressed to a distance of thirty meters, but even so, the relic Yuanguang in every detail was dozens of times more reliable than the so-called strong light flashlight in his hand. Moreover, as a master of national arts, the sensitivity of his senses is several times that of ordinary people, and any wind and grass within a radius of 100 meters cannot hide from him.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Liu Dong to explore the way at this time.

"To ...... Why don't we go back!" Li Yuncong hesitated.

"No, how much work has it taken to come here, how can she give up halfway!" Jiang Tingting glared at him and said.

"That's right, we've all come here, let's go back now, what a shame!" Zhuang Wen disagreed, and visited the famous ghost house Huguang Hall in the capital at night, this is a glorious experience that can boast of a lifetime, and Zhuang Wen is not willing to give up halfway.

Hearing their words, Liu Dong shook his head secretly in his heart, these pampered eldest ladies are like golden phoenixes in cages, and they don't know what it means to be afraid.

Of course, Liu Dong was also a little curious about this, it was the first time he encountered the situation that his relics were suppressed. As for the danger, he didn't think it was much more dangerous than the depths of the mountains, where he used to hunt as a child. However, the strange situation here also made him extremely vigilant.

"Alright, don't talk!

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the three of them resolutely stopped their mouths, and then followed Liu Dong towards the dark courtyard.

This is the backyard of the Huguang Guild Hall, after entering the door, there are long corridors on the left and right sides, winding deep into the darkness, looking at the direction should lead to the middle courtyard.

Next to the cloister is a lotus pond in the style of a Suzhou-Zhou garden, of course, the untended lotus pond has long since dried up, and now only the dry cracked silt and thick fallen leaves remain, still telling the scenery of the past here.

After the lotus pond and then into is a small square of less than 100 square meters, a not very exquisite arched stone bridge, across the lotus pond, connecting the back door and the small square, and the small square and then go inside, is a row of old houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but now they are all dilapidated!

"Let's go!" As he spoke, Liu Dong nodded his head in front, stepped on the thick fallen leaves under his feet, and walked along the stone bridge about two meters wide towards the small square not far away.

Step by step, Liu Dong walked very slowly, and he had already raised all his vigilance here. However, it was very smooth, and they didn't encounter anything unusual along the way, and the so-called ghosts didn't meet a single one.

"Except for a little bit of breakage and a little colder, isn't there anything to be afraid of here......" As soon as Li Yuncong's voice fell, he heard a slight noise not far away, in the dilapidated room where the window flowers were scattered and the door collapsed.

Seeing this situation, the expressions of several people became nervous, Jiang Tingting subconsciously hugged Liu Dong's arm, and the strong flashlight in the hands of several people also shone towards the place where the sound came from at the same time.

"Aim!" Perhaps stimulated by the glare of a flashlight, a black cat barked and suddenly jumped from inside the house to the broken windowsill.

Noticing the four people, the black cat did not leave immediately, but after glancing at the four people separately, he jumped into the grass next to him and disappeared under Li Yuncong's driving sound.

"It turned out to be a cat, it scared me to death!" As he spoke, Li Yuncong wiped the cold sweat on his head and said with palpitations.

This time, Jiang Tingting and Zhuang Wen didn't talk about him anymore, because the two of them were also frightened just now. (To be continued......)
