Chapter 374: Entering the House
Chapter 374 Entering the House
Following
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky is still bright, and the air is also filled with the cool smell of morning dew, I really like this smell, take a deep breath, very refreshing. I rarely get up so early, after coming back from Shandong, I often have nightmares, many times, I have to watch myself close my brain, in order to sleep well, but this kind of sleep is always deep sleep, often sleep until dawn, so even I have insisted on many years of morning exercise is saved.
The reason why I woke up so early today is because I went to bed early last night, and on the other hand, because I slept well. I don't know why, when I came to Uncle Gui's mountain courtyard, I slept very peacefully, and I didn't have any nightmares in the past few days, even if I didn't have to close my brain, I slept well. It may be because grandma and mother are around, it may be because Uncle Gui has planted some flowers and plants in the yard that help you sleep, and it may be like Uncle Gui said, this is called returning to the roots, returning to the house, and naturally having peace of mind.
At about half past five, everyone gathered in the courtyard, Uncle Gui waited at the gate of the courtyard early, he wore a very strange dress today, that dress is a bit like the ancient costume in the martial arts TV series, it is a long gown, it looks like a style but nothing weird, the only strange thing is the color, it is a kind of ginger, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"My God, Uncle Gui, what are you wearing today, why is this color, it looks like..." Dazhe didn't say that word, because Min Lan glanced at him. Uncle Gui didn't pick up either, he looked very serious today.
Finally, everyone arrived. Uncle Gui cleared his throat, and everyone quieted down, waiting for Uncle Gui to speak.
"Everyone, everyone must know what day it is, maybe they won't remember today in future history, today is just an ordinary day, but today will be remembered forever for the Jiang family and the Kui family. Because today we will have a new owner. Jiang Kui's two families are divided, and there is no one to inherit the family, and this situation has been necessary for too long. It's been so long that I can't even remember the years. But this is the ultimate trial. It's not for me to decide, it's the old mansion that will decide who will be in charge, and it will identify its owner. Uncle Gui said.
That is to say. How many of us are the only ones who can get in? Aunt asked.
"Not really. There is no limit to the number of people who can enter the old house. Anyone can go in, but you must remember that the Jiang family's ancestral mansion is not something you can enter if you want to. After you go in, I don't know if you still have the ability to come out. Therefore, the gate can be entered casually, but whether you can get out or not depends on the individual's creation. Uncle Gui explained.
"What's so scary about that, we'll all go in with you." Dazhe said, Uncle Lu They also nodded and agreed, my heart warmed, but I didn't say anything.
The aunt said a few words in Japanese behind her, and the Japanese samurai nodded in compliance.
"Before you go in, I hope you can change into your clothes, I've got it ready for you, right here." Uncle Gui said and pointed to the table on the side, on which there were four sets, no, five sets of clothes. Four of them looked exactly the same, and one looked like the kind of gown that your uncle was wearing.
"These four sets are Kui Qiaoqiao, Kui Yinyin, Kui Yunyun, and Jiang Bingbing, the four of you, and one set, which is yours." Uncle Gui pointed at Yun Ximing, "I'll explain the various reasons to you later." ”
We looked at the clothes, hesitated, and walked to the bedroom to change them. This kind of dress looks very gorgeous, the position of the placket feels like a linen material, it is black, but the sleeves are wide and long-sleeved, yarn, layer by layer, it looks very fairy. The workmanship of the clothes is very exquisite, although the color is plain, but the cuffs are inlaid with gold threads, and such a set of clothes is afraid that it is also expensive.
After I changed my clothes, I stood with my grandmother and aunt as if they had been carved out of a mold. There is not much difference between Jiang Bingbing and us, so when we appeared in front of everyone together, everyone couldn't hide their surprise.
"Your family... This is a matryoshka doll. Dazhe said.
I looked at Yun Ximing, who was also wearing a ginger coat, and when I wore it on Yun Ximing, it was more like a chivalrous man in a martial arts drama, and he couldn't hide his fairy spirit. I saw Jiang Bingbing's eyes full of vinegar.
"Well, then, your preparations are ready. This kind of robe is the ceremonial costume of the Onmyoji, and whenever there is a major ceremony or celebration, the Onmyoji must change into this outfit. However, since ancient times, only the heirs of the Kui clan can wear this costume, this is the first time in history, when four people wear this dress at the same time, when you come out again, I don't know if you can still afford this costume. As for you, you must stay here with me, the descendants of the Yun family, the guardian of the Kui clan for generations, and the new heir born from here is your master. Uncle Gui said.
"What do you say? This won't work, I'm going to go in with Yin Yin. Yun Ximing immediately objected.
"I said, you have to wait here until the new heir comes out of there." Uncle Gui suddenly became serious.
"But what if the two of them become heirs?" Yun Ximing said.
"All you need to do is be loyal to your master, and nothing else is for you to think about." Uncle Gui said. Yun Ximing was still arguing, but was stopped by me.
"Why, are you so unconfident in me?" I asked.
"Not really, it's just that I don't know what kind of ghost things will be in there, and who knows if there will be any accidents." Yun Ximing said.
"Don't worry, I'm confident." I say this, but in fact, I am not worried in my own heart.
"As for the safety of the trials,! You don't have to worry, this trial is actually a clan worship, as long as you are sincere, you will not have to worry about your life. Uncle Gui walked to the front of the crowd as he spoke, straightened his posture and said, "On behalf of the Jiang family, the ancestors of the Kui family are here to restrain those who enter the ancestral house to worship, they need to be sincere and calm, all the dirt and darkness will be abandoned, and the ancestors of the Kui family and the Jiang family will be worshiped with the purest self." Uncle Gui's words are full of confidence, and people can't help but be in awe when they hear it.
Then Uncle Gui took the lead, and we walked in the direction of the family's mansion. This time we finally approached the main entrance of the mansion, Uncle Gui walked in front, he walked to the door, and was not blocked by the barrier, it seems that he has lifted the barrier in advance, Uncle Gui walked to the door and stood still, it seems that it takes a lot of courage to just push open this door.
"You say this house has been uninhabited for so long, what would it look like? Wouldn't it be very dilapidated? There can't be any ghosts, gods, monsters or anything like that. Dazhe said worriedly.
"Fatty, what are you talking about, you think this is a horror movie." Li Yunxian said.
Over there, Uncle Gui had already stretched out his hand and pressed it on the two door panels, and the door of the Jiang Mansion had already been opened as soon as he pushed it hard with both hands, and the entire Jiang Mansion was completely exposed in front of us. There is no gust of wind, and there is no dilapidation, at least this Jiang Mansion makes me feel not embarrassed, the open door is facing a shadow wall, this shadow wall firmly protects the Jiang Mansion behind me, but this shadow wall is particularly strange, I have seen countless ancient houses, I have never seen such a simple shadow wall, this shadow wall does not have any decoration, carving, hollowing, relief, none of them, this is not like a shadow wall, Instead, it was as if someone had built a wall in front of this courtyard in order to deliberately hide something.
Kui Yunyun didn't say anything, and took the lead and walked in, Uncle Gui flashed to the side and watched quietly, Jiang Bingbing followed, and then the black man, the Japanese samurai also followed, and at the end was the ladyboy butler, just looking at his back, those few steps were really graceful.
I straightened my clothes and walked forward, and everyone hurried around behind me, but instead of continuing to move forward, I turned around and made a stop gesture to face everyone.
"Listen up, no one needs to follow me in, all stay here." I say.
"Yin Yin, what do you mean, you don't want to go in alone, heroism, right?" Dazhe said.
"That's exactly what I mean." I said with a smile.
"Girl, even if the young master of the Yun family can't go in, you can't go in by yourself, this fat man is unreliable, you can at least take me with you." Uncle Lu was also a little breathless at this time, and said anxiously.
"Uncle Lu, don't worry, I can take care of myself." I say. My eyes swept over my grandmother, and I stopped talking, who knew that this look was captured by my grandmother.
"Don't worry, girl, your grandmother has an old bone, she has no strength for a long time, and she has no intention of going in at all." Grandma said.
A stone in my heart, this can be regarded as a real let go. "Don't worry, this is the old house of our Kui family, the ancestors of our family, and there is absolutely no reason to harm the descendants of our own family." I said confidently, and then turned around and walked towards the gate, although from the door into the courtyard, only a few steps away, but I seemed to have walked for a few years, under the gaze of everyone, step by step into the Jiang family's mansion.
I heard the sound of my uncle closing the door behind me, and I quickly turned around, thinking about taking one last look at everyone, it really felt a bit like parting with life and death. The last thing I saw was my grandmother's face, and she smiled at me, and that smile was kind and kind that I had never seen before, and it made me feel much more at ease.
I turned around and tried to go inside, but I found that something was wrong with the scene in front of me, the shadow wall was gone, my aunt and her group were gone, and I was the only one left in the huge courtyard. (To be continued.) )
