Chapter 40: The Mysterious Wall
On the other side, Cen Zhaohou, who had snake venom in his body, had fallen into a coma, and when Yun Sha was checking the snake venom erosion for him, he was suddenly shocked to find that the blood-colored jade pendant hanging on Cen Zhaohou's waist at all times was gone!
Her mind buzzed, when they entered the inn of the surviving people, the jade pendant was still hanging on her body, and now as soon as she came out, the jade pendant was gone, there was only one possibility......
She frowned, her expression was painful, the movements of her hands paused, looking at Cen Zhaohou's painful face, her heart was mixed.
After barely stabilizing her mind, she sat down and began to apply needles to Cen Zhaohou's pulse, but her face was always gloomy.
The four of them lived in Lou's house for a few days, and they were also aggrieved for a few days.
The Lou family seems to have a strong habit of cleanliness, the house, the courtyard, and even the corners of the corridor are wiped spotlessly, and not a single pot of green plants in the courtyard is as bright as washing, the most important thing is that every thing in the Lou family, even if a cup is slightly deviated from a millimeter, there will be a little girl running over to put it in place.
After being scared a few times by the little girl of the Lou family who suddenly ran out, Yun Xia didn't dare not strictly follow their rules, and she would carefully see the location of anything before using it, so she tried her best to restore it after use.
But it will still be corrected by the little girl who suddenly ran out.
After several efforts, she found it useless, and she had to give up.
The situation on the side of Zonglu is similar, except that a little boy pops up from time to time.
The snake venom in Cen Zhaohou's place is just ordinary snake venom, under the conditioning of Yun Sha's needle, it should be awake at this time, but the jade pendant that fell at the inn of the dead is her mother's jade pendant, and it must be recovered, but ...... Yun Xue couldn't help frowning when he thought of that strange and terrifying place.
For several days in a row, after a few people had dinner, Lou Yin and Yang would call Lou Yufeng to the Lou family ancestral hall, and he would not return until the time of the child.
Zong Lu's room was arranged next to her, he always felt that things were a little strange, and he strictly recorded the time of Lou Yinyang's departure and return every day, every day was an hour, and in the past few days, Lou Yinyang's already pale face was even more pale, and his lips were faintly gray.
The most bizarre thing is that Lou Yinyang no longer followed behind him and kept babbling weird behaviors, she became ...... Extremely normal, like all other Lou family members, silent, calm, expressionless.
It's only when she's normal that people feel abnormal!
The uneasiness in Zonglu's heart grew stronger and stronger.
He thought of what Lou Yin Yang said before, suffering from the Lou family's exclusion, except for the first night they came to the Lou family, Lou whispered vicious words, in the next few days, the Lou family's attitude was very gentle and normal, just like all other Lou family members.
But he always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
After taking the exclusive secret medicine of the Lou family in the past few days, his spirit has become much clearer, on this day, Lou Yin Yang was called away by Lou Yufeng again, and after returning to the room, Zong Lu got up and went to the front of Cen Zhaohou's room.
Right now, Cen Zhaohou is still unconscious, and Yun Sha is guarding by his side.
Yun Sha opened the door and found that it was Zong Lu, turned sideways to let him in, thinking that he was coming to visit Cen Zhaohou, and said in his mouth: "The snake venom has been suppressed, he is fine, and he will wake up soon." ”
Zong Lu didn't say anything, and looked at Yun Sha after closing the door.
Yun Sha saw that his face was solemn, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
After a while, two figures appeared at the door of the Lou family ancestral hall.
The candles in the ancestral hall were shining, but the door panel was too thick, and the people outside could not see the situation inside, and the sound insulation effect was too good, so they couldn't hear a sound from the outside.
The two looked around the ancestral hall, but they didn't find any flaws.
This ancestral hall is not so much an ancestral hall as a prison.
Seeing that the worry on Zong Lu's face was getting thicker and thicker, Yun Sha glanced at the high roof of the ancestral hall, and then jumped and landed lightly on the roof tiles.
She searched around the roof lightly, and finally found a small square hole for exhaust, and she looked down, just in time to see Lou Yin and Yang kneeling in the corner, and the small figure looked very pitiful.
Yun Sha felt a little strange, flew off the roof, and brought Zong Lu up, who knew that Zong Law's feet were too heavy, and he accidentally kicked off a roof tile.
The two of them were frightened, and the building in the ancestral hall pushed the door out, and Yun Sha hurriedly screamed "meow", and then kicked down several tiles in a row, and the cat's meow became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the night.
Lou Yufeng saw that it was just an annoying wild cat, so he turned around and walked back to the ancestral hall, and the heavy door was closed tightly again.
Yun Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they were staying at someone's house, and now they still came to the roof of the house in the middle of the night to do this voyeuristic thing, if they were discovered, they would definitely be kicked out.
Zonglu and Yunsha looked into the ancestral hall together.
At this time, Lou Yufeng was swaying back and forth behind Lou Yinyang's body, and the thin Lou Yinyang always knelt against a wall without moving, Lou Yinyang knelt for an hour, and they watched on the roof for an hour.
After Lou Yinyang and Lou Yufeng left, Yun Sha said softly: "Lou Yufeng is Lou Yinyang's brother-in-law after all, so he shouldn't do anything to her." ”
Zong Lu didn't reply, he still looked into the ancestral hall, stared at the small place where Lou Yin and Yang were kneeling, and suddenly said, "Something is painted on the wall, there is a problem." ”
Yun Sha felt that he was making a fuss, and replied: "It's just a mural", got up and flew to the ground with Zonglu.
Zonglu still refused to leave, and walked to the gate of the ancestral hall to push the heavy gate, but he couldn't open it.
Yun Xuannian thought that he was a close friend of Cen Zhaohou, sighed, broke off a branch from the tree, and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The Lou family's cleanliness is weird, and there will never be fallen leaves or dead branches on the ground.
She walked over to Zonglu and motioned for him to get out of the way.
When Fang Cai Lou Yufeng came out, she noticed that the lock of the ancestral hall was a ground lock.
I saw that she stretched the dead branch into the gap under the door panel, exerted a little internal force, and then gently flicked it up, and there was a dull sound in the room, and then she pushed the door gently, and the door opened, and a rectangular lock fell beside it.
After Yun Sha and Zong Lu entered the ancestral hall, they hurriedly closed the door, this prison-like ancestral hall, the door panel was also very good, calm and steady without making a sound.
In the middle of the ancestral hall is the tablet of the ancestors of the Lou family, the direction of the tablet, the distance between the tablets, and even the length of each burning candle are exactly the same.
Yun Sha turned his head and saw that Zonglu had walked to the mysterious wall.
Yun Sha also looked over, and her eyes became suspicious, although she couldn't understand what was drawn, but the strange pattern that seemed to be outlined with blood seemed to be...... There is a certain rune, and there is a sense of anger between the brushstrokes, which is incompatible with the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the ancestral hall.
And on a flat floor, where Fang Cailou was kneeling, there were two pits?
Yun Sha was amazed in his heart: this ...... Didn't you kneel out of two pits?
The two of them walked around the ancestral hall, and they all had a spacious room, except for the little abruptness that they had just noticed, there was nothing strange about the other, and after the door was restored, they returned to their respective rooms.
Although Zonglu couldn't read the runes on the walls, he memorized every stroke in his mind, and as soon as he returned to the room, he quickly found paper and pen to draw them.
The next day, he went out into the street and found a blind fortune teller.
Although the Lou family is a feng shui master and is proficient in runes, it is about Lou Yin and Yang, so he had to come out and figure out what it is.
As soon as Zonglu stood in front of the fortune teller, the bearded old gentleman wrinkled, wrinkled, and looked very funny: "You, you, bad luck ......"
He is first a yin corpse who was born with the will to die, and then he is a servant who is accompanied by corpses all day long, can he not be unlucky?
However, he was not angry, and said politely: "Don't panic, old gentleman", and then took out a finger-long gold bar from his sleeve and stuffed it into the old gentleman's hand.
As the most prestigious work of the dynasty, he helped the court solve strange cases repeatedly, and the rewards accumulated a lot.
As soon as the fortune teller's fingers touched the gold bar, his originally cloudy blind eyes seemed to be able to shine, and he quickly bit the gold bar with his teeth, and then silently shrank and picked up a wooden box from under the table, which was full of broken silver and copper coins, he carefully buried the gold bar in it, and then carefully locked the box, and then carefully put it back in place.
Finally, he hooked the box with his foot and pushed it inside.
Facing the unfortunate Zonglu again, he was already flattering, and said flatteringly: "Sit down, young man." “
He could already deduce the age of Zonglu in his early twenties from the texture of Zonglu's voice and the inch of young and smooth skin that he accidentally touched when he took the gold bar.
This is his most basic ability as a fortune teller.
Zong Lu did not sit down, and said, "Old man, this time I came, not to tell fortunes, but to ...... I want you to help me recognize this spell. ”
After hearing this, the fortune teller turned slightly stunned: "I'm a blind man, you let me help you recognize the charm?" “
Zong Lu got up and walked behind the fortune teller, picked up a pen that was half-hidden among the various runes, and his luck was still very polite: "Old man, I'll take you to write it, and you can see if you can recognize it." ”
The fortune teller saw that he was not here to play a prank, and his anger dissipated, and his voice was low and slightly trembling with the old man's peculiarity: "Okay, then I'll help you take a look." ”
Zong Lu took his wrinkled hand and began to scribble on a brand new piece of rice paper, and the even and smooth lines slowly formed a strange and intricate pattern on the rice paper.
As the shape on the paper gradually coincided with the one in Zonglu's mind, the fortune teller's face changed, and the hand holding the brush began to tremble, until the last stroke fell, his face was already pale, and he waited for a while before relieving.
His lips twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.
