Chapter 391: The Ancient Mansion is Deep (II)
I lay in bed for another three days, looking out the window, at this moment the wind was light, and finally the fog surrounding the Jiang family's old house completely dissipated, and the Jiang family's old house was quiet and serene in the sun. I walked to the courtyard with Yun Ning's support, although I could get out of bed, my body was still very weak.
"Sister Yinyin, you really frightened us, when we saw that the yard was on fire, we all thought something was wrong with you, but when we rushed in, there was no sound, as if nothing had happened. But it's good to see you're okay. Yun Ning said with relief.
"I'm sorry to worry you, but this yard is so big, and there were a lot of ghosts taking care of it here before, and now suddenly there is no manpower, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future." I looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, but no one took care of them for a week, and now they are starting to grow out of shape.
"My Miss Kui, you don't have to worry about this at all, I've already arranged it." It was Li Yunxian and Yun Ximing who came over when they said this, Li Yunxian looked at me with a wicked smile and said, "Miss Kui, I'm used to seeing your vigorous and resolute appearance, and it's really a little uncomfortable to see your weak side occasionally." ”
"Young poor mouth, what you just said has been arranged?" I asked.
"I didn't arrange it, I just helped a little, and the main work was done by my brother." Yun Xian pointed at Yun Ximing. I didn't dare to look at Yun Ximing's eyes, I hadn't seen Yun Ximing since I woke up, listening to my mother. On the first day I was unconscious, Yun Ximing guarded me for a day and a night, no matter who persuaded me, I couldn't persuade him, this dazzling boy like a big star, who was arrogant and indifferent on weekdays, cried in front of my bed all day.
"I didn't do anything, I just helped Granny Kui contact some of the people of your Shanghai branch, and asked Grandpa to send some competent and reliable servants from home to this side. This Jiang family's mansion has been silent for a long time, and it's time to see the light of day again. Yun Ximing said.
"Thank you for your hard work." I say this with more of a greeting. Yun Ximing grinned, obviously a little dissatisfied with my reaction.
"Don't thank me. This guy is a great help. He pointed to Yun Xian.
"No, no, I'm also for convenience." Yun Xian would shirk his modesty, "I just think it's really inconvenient for this place to go around, so I arranged for manpower." That is, ten days and half a month. Guaranteed access to town from here. Without a hitch. Yun Xian said proudly.
"How can you not be grateful, this is a big project, how can it be so easy to build roads now. It's still the young master of the Li family who has a bigger face. I said.
"Don't, don't thank the wrong person, that's what we mean, I'm just executing." Yun Xian pointed at Yun Ning.
"It turned out to be Yun Ning's arrangement." I said gratefully.
"Sister Yinyin, let's not leave it at that, let's go, now the afternoon sun is just right, I'll accompany you to walk around." Yun Ning said.
"Okay, let's go." I said and held Yun Ning's hand and began to walk around, Yun Xian and Yun Ximing followed behind us, talking and laughing along the way, and before I knew it, I walked to the small courtyard where I was talking to my seniors before. Before, the mansion was full of fog created by the undead, and I was in a hurry to find the location of my predecessors, so I didn't look at the surrounding scenery carefully, but now I look at it like this, this mansion is really very large, and the small courtyard where we are located is actually in the innermost part of the mansion.
"Yin Yin, it's not me who said it, this house is really big enough, I've seen a lot of Suzhou gardens before, as well as royal gardens, and many mansions of former dignitaries, but there are no such courtyards, it's too big, if you don't walk around here on weekdays, maybe you will get lost in it." Yun Xian said with emotion.
"The Jiang family has a long history, this house was not built all at once, it is said that the previous Jiang family mansion was not here, but should be in the town, the scale at that time was probably larger than now, almost occupied the entire town, and later because of sudden changes, the old house was destroyed by fire, coupled with the turbulence of the times, the Jiang family decided to rebuild a house in the mountains. This mansion is just an imitation of the Jiang family's mansion, and I'm afraid that only part of it has been restored. I said.
"My God, if the whole town is the ancestral home of the Jiang family, how big does this house have to be." Yun Xian said with emotion.
"There is nothing unusual, many of the large folk families in ancient times built houses from the ground, and then continued to expand, and some large families finally took the whole town as their own subordinates, forming a hierarchical family, there are not many such examples, and not only the Jiang family." Yun Ximing said.
"By the way, have you been walking around the house these days?" I asked.
"Of course, since your circle has been removed, this is like a fairyland on earth, and we have already obtained your uncle's permission to walk around the courtyard again." Yun Ning said.
"I heard that the reason why the ancestors of our family chose to resume a new mansion here at that time was because the ancestral tombs of our Jiang family and the Kui family were in this mountain, and you have been here for a week, have you ever seen where you can enter the ancestral tomb?" I asked.
"Ancestral grave? What kind of ancestral grave, I don't know, don't say it's here, yesterday I went to the back mountain with the fat man, didn't I say that there were a lot of bones over there, I wanted to find a skull to keep a souvenir, who knows what I didn't find, by the way, didn't Yin Yin say that a lot of bones were found in the mountain, wouldn't that be ......" Yun Xian hesitated and didn't say it.
"It's not our family's ancestral grave, those are just the corpses that my aunt threw here when she was doing experiments, but it was a coincidence that she found this place at that time, and she didn't really come here, so it can be concluded that the bones in the mountains have nothing to do with our family. Besides, the Jiang family and the Kui family are such big families, how can there be only so many people after the generations, I feel that they should be around here, but there is no way to go through it, it's really strange. I said.
"Yin Yin, if you want me to say that there is nothing strange about it, are there still few strange things that your Kui family has done, you see how few we have experienced along the way." Li Yunxian complained, but there is a certain truth in what he said, we have indeed experienced a lot, and our Kui family does always play cards according to the routine.
"Our Kui clan has always been cautious, and I don't know where our ancestral tomb is hidden, forget it, there is no ancestral tomb, fortunately, there is still an ancestral shrine, since the ancestral hall is next to the small courtyard, you can accompany me to take a look." I say. So the group went in the direction of the ancestral hall again, speaking of which, the ancestral hall can be regarded as the forbidden place of the entire Jiang family's mansion, because the rooms where the aunt's group had an accident before were next to the ancestral hall, I heard Yun Ning say that Uncle Gui had told them before, don't go into those rooms, but the next day they said that they could go, and they didn't see the offering table and copper basin I said inside, I guess it must be that Uncle Gui made arrangements in advance and transferred those things to other places. Although those things seem to be ordinary, they are indeed extremely dangerous, and Uncle Gui was able to transfer them, which shows that his ability is extraordinary.
The small courtyard and the ancestral hall are next to each other, not a few steps to go, before looking at this ancestral hall does not feel any difference, now look at it under the blue sky and white sun, it is solemn and solemn, carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and cornices, but it is extraordinarily dignified, people can't help but admire.
"This is your ancestral hall, there must be something to worship in it, we haven't been in it yet, and now that you brought us, it's more appropriate." Yun Ximing said.
"What time is it now, and there is not so much exquisiteness, before I went out to travel, those places that were engraved with a visit here, aren't they all ancestral halls." As I spoke, I led everyone through the door and walked in.
The ancestral hall looks very ordinary, no different from the ancestral hall we have seen before, a few futons are placed on the ground, I see that they are all brand new, guess that this place has been cleaned by your uncle, the table is spotless, but there is no incense, but all the incense burners and spices are complete. But the only thing that makes people feel strange is that behind the offering table, there is no corresponding idol to be enshrined, but only a big word, a big word "sheng".
"What's the situation, why don't there be statues or shrines, just one word, what does it mean?" Yun Xian asked.
"When I watched Journey to the West before, didn't the one who planted ginseng fruit not worship the gods but only the heaven and the earth, it seems that your Kui family wants to emulate the ancients." Yun Ximing said.
"Journey to the West was written by Wu Chengen in the Ming Dynasty, and the history of our Kui family should be much farther away than this, I don't know who imitated whom." As I spoke, I picked up the incense sticks, lit three of them, and bowed respectfully. "Everything in the world, there is life and death, everything has life, the world is reincarnated, isn't the most respectable thing the living soul?" As I spoke, I put the candle in the censer. The moment I looked up, I felt a faint blue glow behind the scroll of the new word.
"Sister Yinyin, it's almost time for you to go back and lie down, your current body can't stand outside for too long." Yun Ning said.
"Wait a minute, that pair of words...... There seems to be a door in the back. I said.
"What? What door? When Yun Xian heard this, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly ran to the front of the pair of words and examined it carefully. From my point of view, he could definitely see the blue light, but his reaction was as if he didn't see it at all, "Yin Yin, there's nothing here." ”
"Can't you see? Wherever it is clear, there is a faint blue light. I explained, but then it occurred to me that no wonder they couldn't see, "I see, why don't you see, there's a ghost door behind it." (To be continued.) )
