Chapter 45: No Coincidence!
In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning, and as soon as the sky was bright, Chen He's screams came from outside the house, as if he had seen a ghost, waking everyone up. Bai Xiaoyao was so frightened that he directly picked up the broom and rushed out, then looked around and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there another assassin?! ”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Xiaoyao saw Ye Wuxiang standing not far away, was slightly stunned, and then looked at Chen He, and found that his face was already pale at this time, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Wuxiang, his body trembled unconsciously, and he couldn't even speak: "He...... He...... Isn't he dead?! Do you want your life?! Thinking of this, Chen He shook his head desperately, pointed to Shen Sangsang who had just gone out and shouted: "You want to take revenge on you looking for her, I didn't kill you!" ”
Bai Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, put the broom in his hand on the ground, and yawned while stretching: "Chen He, don't shout early in the morning, I'm really sleepy." "With that, he will go into the house.
Chen He, who was overly frightened, felt completely insecure at this time, so he directly rushed over and grabbed Bai Xiaoyao's arm, and looked at Ye Wuxiang with fear: "Can't you see?!" The ghost of the night is back! ”
Shen Sangsang walked to Ye Wuxiang's side with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said to Chen He: "Have you ever seen that unjust soul that people can touch?" What's more, shouldn't something like an unjust soul come out at night? ”
After hearing this, Chen He felt that it was very reasonable, and slowly walked to Ye Wuxiang's side with courage, stretched out an index finger and gently poked his arm, his face full of surprise: "I can really touch it!" He's not dead?! But last night he was clearly ......"
"Thank you girl for saving me!" Ye Wuxiang's sudden fist clenching action startled Chen He, and he jumped out three meters away.
Looking at Chen He, who was so timid, Shen Sangsang shook his head helplessly: "Why are you always scared?" ”
Chen He touched his nose in embarrassment and began to walk towards the room: "I...... I'm going to sleep a little longer......"
"Don't sleep!" Shen Sangsang strode forward and grabbed his back collar and said, "We're going to do a big thing." ”
"Big deal?" Chen He turned back curiously, "What to do?" ”
Shen Sangsang smiled heartily: "Find someone to go!" ”
Get?!
Chen He blinked in confusion, and then was dragged out by Shen Sangsang.
The group cleaned up themselves, and after breakfast, they began to pack their things and prepare to go to the West Market.
There are obviously less than half of the people on the streets of Xishi, and it looks really deserted. A few people walked on the road for a long time and did not encounter any small vendors setting up stalls on the street, which was a little too deserted.
"The gap between the East City and the West City is really big." Chen He said with emotion.
Bai Xiaoyao nodded: "It has always been like this, the West City is not as close to the Imperial Palace as the East Market, and the soil here is fertile, and most of the land has been taken by farmers to grow food and Chinese herbal medicine." ”
Shen Sangsang looked around as he walked, and then looked into the distance: "Actually, it's very good here." Is there still land further west in the West Market? ”
"Yes, yes, but there is a thorn forest around it, and it can't be passed. There are also all kinds of mysterious beasts in the Thorn Forest, and generally no one will go there, and there are some bold soul masters. Bai Xiaoyao replied.
"I remember that it seems to be close to the border of the Ghost Snake in the state here, right?" Shen Sangsang asked.
Bai Xiaoyao replied: "Yes, this is also the reason why no one dares to buy that piece of land." ”
"Okay, I got it." Shen Sangsang was secretly thinking about something in his heart.
"It's here!" Bai Xiaoyao pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Then my uncle who is proficient in making high-rise buildings is here." ”
Shen Sangsang glanced at the somewhat dilapidated shop door in front of him and walked in with a few people.
"If you don't do business today, you better go back first." As soon as a few people stepped into the house, they heard the uncle's voice when they roared.
Shen Sangsang paused, looked around, and asked, "Uncle only came back here not long ago, right?" I see it's in disrepair and full of dust, do you need us to clean it up for you? ”
If you want to find someone to do something, the most important thing is to know what he wants and understand his needs.
The uncle turned around slowly, only to see that the right half of his face was covered with scars, which looked shocking. The uneven part of the scar makes people feel hairy to look at. He said, "Scared? ”
A few people didn't speak, the uncle seemed to be used to it, and there was a kind of disappointment in his eyes, he continued to turn around and wipe a bronze mirror, and said, "Come back quickly, it will rain in a while." ”
Liang Yiyu looked at the lonely figure of the uncle in front of him, and said softly: "Don't worry, let's help you clean it up." ”
A few people nodded and began to help the uncle clean up. Looking at these busy figures, the uncle couldn't help but be a little touched, how many years, how many years has he not seen so many people with him......
"Haven't you heard some rumors in Lingzhou?" The uncle asked faintly.
Shen Sangsang chuckled, and kept wiping the table in his hand: "Is Uncle talking about the rumors that you are a disaster star?" ”
The uncle was obviously stunned when he heard her hateful tone: "You...... Do you know how dare you come? ”
The movement in her hand paused: "What dare not?" We don't believe that. ”
"Do you know why these rumors are there?" Uncle slowly wiped the bronze mirror in his hand, the copper mirror he had wiped more than once, "I was just born, my mother died in childbirth, my father helped me grow up alone, taught me the skills of building a building, and later, my house caught fire, my father was burned alive in order to save myself, and the scars on my face flowed down like this." ”
The uncle told quietly, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Then I met my daughter-in-law, she was very beautiful, and I don't know why she fell in love with me. After getting married, we originally lived a happy life, but the good times didn't last long, when I accompanied her to the East Market, she just entered the store with her front foot, and the beams of the store fell, and then, the attic on that floor all collapsed, and my wife was crushed underneath. I tried my best to find her, but when I found her, she couldn't breathe......" The uncle sighed leisurely, "Later, I heard that they could hear the cry of ghosts in my building every night, and they thought I was a disaster, and even my friends left me. Since then, I have left Lingzhou and been out for a long time. ”
Bai Xiaoyao asked, "Then why did you suddenly come back again?" ”
The uncle smiled and touched the bronze mirror with his rough fingertips: "Three days later will be my birthday, the tenth year of my mother's death, the twentieth year of my father's death, and the death of my mother...... Year 40......"
Same? A few people were slightly stunned, this is too much of a coincidence, right?! How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Is all this really a coincidence?
The uncle continued: "It's weird, isn't it? That's why the world says I'm a scourge, and that there are ghosts living in my building. So, you kids should get out of here! ”
After hearing this, Chen He was furious, and he always felt that there was something standing behind him, and he began to be a little scared, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Liang Yiyu smiled disapprecitatively: "We are not afraid of ghosts. ”
Shen Sangsang's eyes trembled, and he smiled: "Yes, sometimes people are much more terrifying than ghosts. ”
Chen He swallowed his saliva a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "I'll go outside first to take a breath...... and then ran out.
Looking at Chen He's appearance, some complicated feelings seemed to flash in the uncle's eyes.
None of them said a word, and began to concentrate on tidying up, and when it was about noon, it was pouring outside, and several people were all tidying up, and the whole house looked brand new.
The uncle asked a few people to sit at the table and gave them herbal tea.
Shen Sangsang looked around and asked, "By the way, uncle, how long has this building been built?" ”
The uncle brought some and said something, sat down among them, and replied: "This building is a little old, it is still left by my ancestors, my family has lived here for generations, often repaired, and lived for hundreds of years!" ”
"Hundreds of years?!" Bai Xiaoyao looked at the building in surprise, "Then your family's building skills are really powerful!" The average house has gone through so many years, even if it is repaired well, it is inevitable that the structure will be loose! ”
The uncle looked at Bai Xiaoyao and smiled: "The ancestral craftsmanship is just ......"
He paused, looked around with those eyes full of guilt, and sighed, "It's just that this craft is about to be lost in my place!" I have no children, no friends, and no one wants to come to me to build a building, and I don't want you to be an apprentice. Such a good craft is about to be lost......"
Recently, he always thinks about this, and when he thinks of it, he feels ashamed of his ancestors, but he has no other way......
Looking at the uncle in front of him, Shen Sangsang thought for a while and asked, "Is the uncle willing to help me build a building?" Then the uncle can accept apprentices in the building, and I will help you find the apprentices, and you must find some highly talented. ”
The uncle was overjoyed, but then lowered his head again: "But no one should want to be my apprentice......"
"You don't have to worry about this matter, as long as you agree, I will be responsible for this matter." Shen Sangsang said with a smile.
This uncle's skills are superb, and he can't bear to see such a good craft lost, she will create a half-jian door in the future, and the people who are included in the door will not be those who are idle, and the people who are timid will never be the people in the half-jian door.
The uncle pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay! I promise you! ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Several people said in unison.
The uncle smiled: "If you don't mind, just stay for lunch, right?" Wait for the rain to stop walking. I'm going to get you something to eat!" ”
"Then excuse me!" Liang Yiyu nodded politely.
The uncle waved his hand, smiled and walked into the kitchen to prepare for food.
A few idle people began to wander around the building aimlessly, looking around.
Liang Yiwei and Shen Sangsang walked side by side, their eyes scanning the surroundings. Liang Yiyu couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing. ”
Shen Sangsang smiled and nodded: "Sturdy and beautiful, there is not a trace of it at the joint." I'm thinking, if this kind of skill is coupled with Uncle Zhou's mechanism, it must be unparalleled in the world. At that time, the spine can be made of unicorn iron, the surface of the building is covered with fireproof and waterproof paint, and then the organ guards the heavy ground in the building, and the security of the whole building is guarded by the array symbol. ”
"Not bad." Liang Yiwei tilted his head sideways and looked at Shen Sangsang, who was carefully observing the structure in the building, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Several people looked around for a long time, and then they heard Ye Wuxiang, a person who had never said a word, speak, and he said, "This is definitely not a coincidence. ”
"What did you say?" Chen He walked to his side after hearing this, stretched out his hand and put his hand on his shoulder, "What do you see?" ”
The other three also came up curiously.
Ye Wuxiang pointed to one of the walls and said, "Why is this wall so white?" ”
"......" and the others couldn't say anything, they didn't know that this was what Ye Wuxiang was going to say.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ye Wuxiang stopped Shen Sangsang and said, "Look at the rest of the walls. ”
Since I looked at it according to the meaning of the night without an elephant, I also found suspicious points. Shen Sangsang frowned, and carefully compared this wall with the rest of the walls: "It's really a little wrong. All the walls in the house showed almost slight signs of cracking, but the wall was as clean as new, as if it had been newly built or newly painted. ”
Liang Yiwei looked at the wall with his arms crossed and shook his head: "No, it's definitely not newly built or painted." If this wall were to be built, it would have to be completely pierced, but as soon as this wall falls, the beams above it will collapse. And which of you paints a wall? ”
"This wall is pure white and has a smooth surface, not like it is painted with paint, but like ......" Shen Sangsang frowned, "It looks like it grew out of itself, like a stone, and there is no gap in it at all." ”
Ye Wuxiang looked at the wall in front of him and fell into deep thought: "I have seen a wall that is exactly the same as the tactile luster of this wall. ”
"Where?" Shen Sangsang immediately asked.
"Dark Machine Pavilion." Ye Wuxiang slowly spit out these words.
Everyone frowned, what the hell is going on?
At this time, the uncle had already prepared the meal, and when he saw the few people gathered together, he shouted, "Come and eat!" All the dishes are ready!"
A few people came back to their senses, walked over with a stomach full of questions, sat down, and began to eat.
Liang Yiwei asked the uncle suspiciously: "Uncle, why is that wall different from other walls?" ”
The uncle glanced at the wall that Liang Yiwei was pointing at and explained, "This wall is said to be an ancestral wall of our Han family. ”
"Can the wall still be passed down from the family?" Chen He was stunned for a moment, saying that he had never heard of it.
The uncle replied: "This wall was originally a wall on the north side of our Han family ancestral hall, and then the ancestral hall collapsed, but this wall was intact and stood straight in place. Our ancestors felt that it was very magical and felt that this was a testimony to the superb skills of our Han family, so this wall was added to the family building later, hoping that our future generations would not forget the glory of the family. ”
"So amazing?" Chen He was shocked, he never expected that this wall would have so many years of history!
"Isn't it? Our family members say that our Han family relies on this wall to know how to build buildings so well! The uncle was very proud when he said this, "A long time ago, although some people on my floor said that they were often haunted and must have been stained with some evil, but someone still came to me to buy it!" I didn't sell it at the time, after all, this is the only thing left by our Han family to this day, and if it does, I really don't have the face to go to see my ancestors and ancestors! ”
Shen Sangsang narrowed her eyes slightly, the corners of her lips raised, she probably knew......
There must be something hidden in this wall.
"Uncle, why don't we stay and help you catch ghosts tonight?" Shen Sangsang smiled mysteriously.
Several people were slightly stunned, completely confused.
