Chapter 7 Unique
In the back, there are many small dark rooms, one connected to the other, without windows, the door locks of the rooms are locked with that old-fashioned lock ring, and the style of the door is very exquisite, yes, very exquisite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is more delicate and intriguing than the door of any room I've ever seen in the Forbidden City in Beijing......
It seems incredible to me, especially to see here, and I find it hard to believe if it weren't for my personal experience. I even subconsciously suspect that I am not in an ancestral hall, but in a museum or monument.
Kawako didn't observe as carefully as I did, but blindly searched, and after a while, his attention was also focused. But he was concerned about the carving of the pattern on the door, and I knew from his mouth that even the carved pattern was an extremely rare art, and I didn't know anything about it, but it seemed that I could know a little about it.
"It's two door gods, Xiao Wu, come over and see, what kind of door does this mean, why has my brother never seen it."
Chuanzi was talking about the carved pattern on the door, and when he said this, I reacted. It turned out that there were really two vivid characters engraved on it, but no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't tell what these two characters were. I've seen a lot of door gods, but in the door god series, there are no two characters at all.
"It's not like a door god, and it doesn't look like a guardian god."
"Ha, why do I look so black and white!" After speaking, Chuanzi laughed, black and white impermanence, don't say no, even if there is, how can it be used as a door god.
"Oh, forget it, forget if you don't understand it, it can only prove that our old Chen family has a rich heritage." I looked at Chuanzi's intoxicated face after saying this, I don't know when this guy was so brazen. Bothering to pay attention to him, I continued to sort out the clues, but I walked backwards and there was nothing else in the back except for the dense room.
The neat room, the same chains, the same pattern is just a little scary in number. I really don't understand why so many houses are being built in the ancestral hall, and whether anyone lives here. Although I also know that some ancestral halls need to be guarded by someone, there is no need to build so many houses, and generally the people who guard the ancestral hall will live outside the ancestral hall, not in the ancestral hall.
If it used to be a residence, it would have been quite similar.
In that era of war and chaos, it is indeed a paradise away from the hustle and bustle. I had seen the place on the first floor almost as far as Chuanzi, but there was no clue we were looking for.
Chuanzi and I continued to walk up the back stairs to the second floor, the wooden staircase was made of wood, and I could see that this staircase was some years old. But the feeling of stepping on it is very calm and there is no sound at all.
Since we came up late, there were already a lot of people coming from above, all of them from the Chen clan who were carrying and cleaning up and repairing the house. They were all busy, so naturally they didn't bother to talk to us, and Kawako and I naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to talk to others.
After going up to the second floor, I was also shocked, because the entire second floor was a neat and dense room, except for some necessary corridors. The scale is exactly the same as the structure of the first floor.
If it weren't for my conviction that I came up from the first floor, I would have thought I had never moved. "Brother, this is awesome, Xiao Wu, I'm not mistaken, right?"
I never thought that the second layer would be like this, and I would be happy even if it changed slightly, but the second layer was still like this, and I was a little helpless. I don't know if I'm dreaming or what's I doing? Chuan Zi was a little distracted, and I said leisurely, "You're home, Chuan." Chuanzi turned her head to me and raised a middle finger at me with a very serious expression.
"Okay, seriously, I don't think there should be any clues on this floor, let's move on." I thought to myself that the third layer should not be like this, if it is, then I will really burn incense for this ancestral shrine. I even began to wonder about the secret, or the clue, and I was prepared for the worst even if it wasn't here.
As I was talking, Chuanzi actually walked straight in one direction, and pulled me. He almost pulled me to the ground, and I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but when I turned around, I was no longer angry.
Because I saw everybody walking in the same direction, what were everybody watching?
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Walking into the crowd, I hurriedly asked. But it seems that none of them answered, to ask why? What I saw next, I couldn't answer either. There were droplets of water on the wooden door, and I couldn't be sure if it was coming out of it. Because it's more like it comes out, like tears in people's eyes, and if I could describe it accurately, I can only say that it looks like a person who can cry, but this is a dead thing.
I've always been cautious about anything that can't be explained by common sense or science, I'm not a fantasist or a conspiracy theorist, because we live in such an omnipotent world.
"What's going on?" A middle-aged man in the crowd asked in surprise. "Oh my God, could it be that the old ancestor has appeared." Another older man said incredulously, holding his head. For a moment, all kinds of speculation filled the crowd, and everyone present was terrified, even if it seemed to them to be like a god. Another teenager in the crowd said timidly, "When I came up this morning, there was obviously nothing! How so. ”
In this way, the theory of inconceivability has been confirmed, and the liquid that is now flowing from the door cannot be so ingenious, even if someone did it deliberately. I don't know what to say? Because I couldn't react for a while. Chuanzi walked over with a serious expression: "What do you think about this matter?" It's not like it's artificial. ”
"I know if you don't say it," and then I suddenly thought of something, and added, "If it's something purely liquid, then there's another possibility, and it's a high-yielding and valuable tree like a rubber tree or a milk tree." "I said that, but I didn't think it was going to be the case.
"Then according to what you say, it's unlikely, this door is obviously old, and it won't be so coincidental in how to get out of the water!"
"That's what I can't understand," I said to Kawako.
But at this point everything seemed to be of little importance to these people, as they all began to prostrate themselves on the ground and began to bow down in an elaborate ritual before the weeping door. That's not all, but let the clansmen go down to get tribute, burn incense and worship, and ask for instructions before they can continue to work.
The only thing I can do now is to do what I have come, and I won't let this kind of thing weigh on my heart. "Take a look at the door, maybe......" Kawako and I walked over one after the other. I could see it very clearly, the liquid was very distinct, dripping and flowing. My fingers were a little sweaty, and I still couldn't tell what the material of the door was. However, I completely ruled out my suspicion, because the door was old, extremely dense and smooth.
Cautiously, my hand began to touch the wooden door, "Are you alright?" I knew Kawako was concerned, "It's okay." "I said that, but I had long since lost my mind. I haven't smelled the liquid coming out, so I don't know what it smells and I swear I wouldn't try it in my life if I knew.
I tried, I tried to get the liquid on my fingers, and I didn't feel any discomfort. I came to the front and looked at it carefully, it was a very ordinary drop of water, no different. When I smelled it, it didn't taste anything, so I tasted it in disbelief.
"It's salty, it tastes like seawater," I said to Kawako, who was stunned. He never thought that I would be so fierce, "From now on, you are the person I admire the most in Chuanzi, there is no one." "Maybe this is a sentence that people in the rivers and lakes say by mouth, the fierce are afraid of the ruthless, the ruthless are afraid of the Leng, and the Leng's are afraid of dying.
Obviously, I proved the truth of this sentence with practical actions, "We should not worry about this matter, maybe there are so many strange things in this world." After I said this, Chuanzi did not refute it, because we knew it. It's like the purpose of our here, which is secretive but always has a source. This kind of encounter, I feel like I have experienced it deeply on the first day I came here, "Let's go." ”
"Well" Chuanzi completely agreed with me, leaving a group of people who continued to be pious, and Chuanzi and I continued to go up to the top floor, which is the third floor.
The third floor is different, there are not so many rooms, but the space does not look very spacious. Maybe it's just an attic, so it's not that big. There's only one house here, and there's everything from doors and windows, but it's all weird.
And it's completely different from the second floor, it's very quiet, and not only that, but the real difference I say is that this house is so unusual. The whole house is made of wood, but it is different from the rest of the house, because the whole house looks like it is carved out of a huge wooden tower. And the wooden house is carved with strange circles and tadpole-like things, I don't know how to explain it.
The only thing that deserves to reinvigorate my faith, I even see hope, isn't it......
An indescribable smell filled the air, I don't know what it was. Chuan Zi felt as if he had been fooled, and said speechlessly: "It's a little wrong, Xiao Wu, this is the third layer, there is nothing, did we miss something?" ”
"If it's so easy for you to see, can it still be called an unsolved mystery? Don't worry, since we're here, we'll have to figure it out thoroughly. "Chuanzi and I didn't talk very loudly, because there was still someone here, it was his sixth uncle. When his uncle saw us coming, he didn't say anything, but sat there as if he was meditating.
"Uncle, are you here?" Chuanzi shouted first.
"Well, come to Xiaochuan, come to my uncle, you've all seen it below."
"I've seen it, our Chen ancestral hall is really unusual," I said in my heart that if this is ordinary and ghostly? That's what I've been thinking since I came in.
Chuanzi saw that I had been staring at this house, and knew what I was thinking, so he said, "Uncle, whose house is this?" Why is it so big. My heart tugged, and the corner of my eye deliberately focused on his sixth uncle, I thought that his uncle would probably not say.
"This room, I've been here for a long time, and I don't know very well, but every time I worship my ancestors, I have to come here to worship here." It's very calm, his expression hasn't changed when he says this, and there is nothing wrong with his words, but the more normal it is, the more abnormal I feel.
It seemed that just one sentence sent us away, and there was no need for an explanation at all, which I found out later. If this is his answer, I'd rather risk the unknown to get the answer myself. I looked at Chuanzi, and Chuanzi looked at me and knew in my heart, as if I had decided something.
