Lu Duoxun is now standing in the sun and exposed, his hot head is full of oily sweat, and he wants to let Lao Li quickly open the door and let them in, but Leng Yi is talking to Lao Li now, he doesn't dare to interrupt Leng Yi's words, although his official rank is higher than Leng Yi. But people have real power in their hands.

Leng Yi said again: "What did you see? Scared a maid to death? - Don't be nervous, speak slowly, if you don't want to say, it's okay. ”

Leng Yi knew that in fact, Lao Lizheng did not deliberately divert the topic, he subconsciously avoided this topic that had caused him great mental trauma. Because of this kind of memory, his mental panic and pain will be hit again.

Speaking of this question, Lao Lizheng's face was not bloody, and his eyes didn't dare to look at the closed door anymore, he lowered his head, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind the crack in the door, and his voice began to tremble: "After I was awakened, I saw the maid screaming, so I followed her gaze, and my hair stood on end, really!" I saw ......, and I saw the dead young grandmother slowly coming out of the stone room in the mourning hall! She was wearing her favorite garnet red dress! His face was pale, and he seemed to be still smiling......! I ......, my whole body was frightened, I didn't know how to move, I just stood there upright, watching her come and climb into ...... coffin! ”

Cheng Dexuan sneered: "Okay, your ability to make up ghost stories is still good, it's just that there are a lot of loopholes in it,—— ghosts' legs can't bend, they are jumping up and down when they walk, or floating around in the sky, I've never heard that ghosts can climb into coffins by themselves!" It can be seen that it is a lie! ”

Lao Li hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one said." Every word is the truth, and you will never dare to lie! Chun Tao, the maid who was scared to death, was later buried next to the grave of the young grandmother, because the Zhen family said that the young grandmother was bored alone in the underworld, and Chun Tao served her. I'm going to take it with me. The maid who had seen the ghost screaming with me refused to be in the Zhen family anymore, and would rather let the Zhen family sell her to the kiln than stay in the Zhen house. How is Master Zhen that kind of person, so he promised her a family and married her to a family surnamed Hu in Liuzhizhuang, seventy miles away. ”

Xiang Gong's face was a little ugly: "I heard what he said has a nose and eyes, so it doesn't look like he made it up casually." If that's the case, aren't we ......? ”

He wanted to say that he should not go in, but he was afraid that these people would laugh at him for being cowardly. looked at Zhao Pu with blank eyes, hoping that he would say it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu didn't look at him at all, but twisted his beard and listened with interest.

Leng Yi asked, "Did the young grandmother you see already be buried before?" ”

"Yes. It's just that the coffin lid was not nailed, and it was not covered until before going out. ”

"She is already lying in the coffin, how can she come out of the mourning hall?"

"So what the hell!" Lao Li is spreading his hands.

Leng Yi pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of place is there?" ”

"It is the ancestral hall where the Zhen family placed the ancestral tablets."

When everyone heard this, they were all cold.

"What did the young grandmother do when she entered the ancestral hall?"

"That's what to say!" Lao Li was snorting with difficulty, and said, "Hearing the scream, Master Zhen came out to inquire." We said it. Master Zhen naturally refused to believe it, saying that we must have stayed up too hard in a row, and we were wrong. The maid and I both said no. Master Zhen saw Chun Tao who was frightened to death again, so he half-convinced and ordered the lamp to be lit. Let the lantern come again. Holding a probe into the coffin to inspect, I saw that the dress of the dead young grandmother was really different from the original! It's as if it's been moved. Look at the soles of the shoes again, and they still possess the dirt! ”

"Lies!" Cheng Dexuan sneered again: "When a person dies, he must change his shoes to new ones, so how did the soil on the soles of my aunt's feet come from?" ”

"We're weird too!" Lao Li was busy saying: "It stands to reason that the floor of the mourning hall is made of blue bricks, and it was cleaned very quickly at that time. And no dirt! The room with the tablet in the middle is cleaner, and it is impossible to be dirty! What's even more strange is that if she wants to go out through the front door, there are many people outside the Lingtang who are keeping vigil, and they will definitely see it, except for this road. Can't go out anywhere else! And there was no dirt in the house, so where did the dirt come from under her feet? ”

Xiang Gong's lips trembled a little: "Will she blow up her body after she dies, get up and go out through the back door of the room where the tablet is placed inside, and come back after walking outside, so her feet are stained with mud?" ”

Lao Lizheng shook his head and said, "Impossible! Because there is no back door in the whole inner room where the tablets are placed, and there are no windows, the whole room is made of huge bluestone slabs! Beyond the gas outlet the size of a rice bowl, there is only one door leading to the mourning hall! There is no other door to get out! ”

"A house made of bluestone slabs?" Shen Lun frowned and said, "Why do you want to use bluestone slabs to make a house?" ”

"I heard that soon after the construction, the Zhen family had a series of accidents, so I invited the master to see, saying that the five elements of the Zhen family lacked soil, although the Zhen character has soil, but the tiles are not covered on the top of the soil, but on the side, so that the soil can not be suppressed, so there is an accident. It is necessary to build a house full of stones from top to bottom, left and right, and put all the tablets of the ancestors in it, so that nothing will happen.

"Nonsense!" Shen Lun pursed his lips.

"Yes, yes!" Lao Li Zheng smiled and said: "This must be a Mr. Yin and Yang who has no ability, if you can't see it, you will only talk nonsense." Otherwise, there won't be any more hauntings in the future! ”

"Hmmm! And then you say, what about later? ”

Later, when Master Zhen saw the soil on the soles of the young grandmother's feet, he was very surprised, and carried the lantern into the room where the spirit tablets were placed. Sure enough, I saw a clay shoe print lying on it, all the way from the house to the door to the coffin! ”

Leng Yiyi frowned: "In the house? Didn't you say that there were no windows and no back door in the back room? How did the dirt footprints come out? ”

"That's right, it just came out of nowhere!" Lao Li is saying.

Everyone glanced at each other, and Zhao Pu frowned and said, "Lord Leng is asking you, where did this soil first appear from in the house?" ”

"Came out of nowhere!"

Zhao Pu couldn't cry or laugh: "Why did it come out?" Like a fountain? ”

"That's right!" Lao Li was stunned and said: "It appeared like a fountain in the house!" ”

Leng Yi's heart moved, and said, "You mean, the source of the footprints is in the middle of the house?" ”

"That's right! - From the middle of the house to the outside of the house. And then to the coffin! ”

"How many footprints are there?"

"One trip!"

"Inside or outside?"

"Outside!"

The hearts of the people were even more cold,—— a stone house that could not be entered from the outside, and a series of footprints appeared out of thin air in the middle of the house, leading to the door, and it was a one-way trip. How is this caused? Don't. Was it really the dead young grandmother who drifted into the room in the air and then walked out of the room? If so, there really isn't a better reason to explain the problem than being haunted.

Lu Duosun laughed and said, "Hearing you say this, Lao Tzu is more interested." Be sure to go in and have a look, whether it's for the shade or to explore,—— open the courtyard door and let us in! Hurry up, or Lao Tzu will lock you up in this haunted house. Let you be alone with the ghosts inside! Hurry up! ”

Lao Li was trembling with fright.

Leng Yi patted Lao Lizheng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's broad daylight, there won't be any ghosts, we just go in to enjoy the coolness, and when the sun sets and it's cool, we'll go back." If you're worried that we're breaking something, you can go in with you, but if you're scared, and don't worry about us, you'll just be outside and watch, okay? ”

Lao Li hurriedly nodded in agreement, the servant who had gone to call him earlier had already told her the intention of coming, so he had already brought the key, took out the key at the moment, and opened the courtyard door tremblingly. Then he hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to look inside.

Leng Yi's entourage escort Wumei Dao Leader said to Leng Yi: "Shall I bring someone in to check it out?" ”

Lu Duosun laughed: "A haunted house, in addition to ghosts, is there an assassin?" What else to look at? With that, Ludosun laughed and stepped inside, and the rest of the people looked at each other and smiled. I followed in. It's just that the smile facing the arch here is a little reluctant. The servants followed and picked up food and went in.

Leng Yi said to Wumei: "You just take people to guard the outside of the house, it's okay." ”

The Wumei Daoist bowed down and agreed, and led the person away.

Although the whole Zhen house is not very open, the layout is very exquisite, there are towering ancient trees everywhere, and the ground is covered with green grass and shrubs of different heights, and the original path has been covered and invisible. From time to time, a few little mice can be seen running past.

The courtyard is not large, and you can see the main hall of the house directly opposite at a glance. The plaque above the lobby was mottled, and the handwriting on it was already blurred and illegible. The corners of the lobby were covered with cobwebs and the floor was covered with dust.

The crowd quickly walked through the courtyard, and many of the rooms were empty, and there were no other objects in them, except for some bulky furniture.

They found a well under a big tree in the front yard, and the well under the shade of the tree was bubbling with a cool breath, Shen Lun felt it, and said, "It's very cool here, it is estimated that it is spring water coming out of the ground, otherwise it wouldn't be so cool." ”

Xiang Gong: "Water from the ground? That's the water of the underworld? ”

Cheng Luojie glared and said, "If you're not scary, you'll die?" ”

Xiang Gong smiled: "Mrs. Leng, I'm telling the truth." ”

"It doesn't matter where he gets the water, as long as it's cool." Lu Duosun said, squatting on the ground and touching a stone slab next to the well, which was actually a stone tablet with handwriting engraved on it, which had been blurred because it was used to wash clothes. Lu Duosun couldn't make out it, so he sat on it with his ass and gasped: Wow, it's the most comfortable here, and the whole body is cool! So saying, he lay on it, stretched out his limbs, and his clothes were very comfortable.

Song Qi kicked him lightly: "This is cool for you alone, what about us?" Standing here with you hot? Walk, go to the lobby, it's cool there too. ”

Lu Duosun had no choice but to get up and follow back to the lobby of the front hall, Lu Duosun stood in the shadow under the lobby porch, fanned his fan, let out a long breath, and said, "My mother! It's so cool, it's really good here, it's cool without a fan! Comfortable! It was so comfortable! Hahaha! ”

Shen Lun raised his eyes and looked at the towering pines and cypresses around the lobby like giant umbrellas, and said with a smile: "Look at this pines and cypresses, covering most of the entire courtyard, the sun can't shine, so it's naturally cool!" ”

Lu Duosun snorted and said, "It's not interesting for you to say this, in the back garden of your house before, there were also ancient trees, why didn't you have any shade?" ”

Song Qi also said: "What I said is that there are many ancient trees in my house, but they are not as shady here. ”

Cheng Dexuan also said: "Don't talk about your home, it is the Great Xiangguo Temple, where the ancient trees are the most, and even the imperial garden of the palace is not as many as there." It's not as cool as here! ”

Leng Yi said: "Okay, okay, don't argue about this, hurry up and put things on the table, eat wine, this cool place, you must have a good drink!" - Let's talk about it today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! ”

Song Qi is also a drunkard, laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's still Lord Leng's appetite for me, exactly!" Let's come out to eat and drink, to discuss what those ghosts are doing? Hurry! Serve! Under the corridor of this lobby, it is the most refreshing, the cool breeze is slow, passing through the hall, and it is the most comfortable! ”

With that, the servants hurriedly set up the banquet, put the futons on the ground, and sat down around eating.

The weather is cool, and there is a taste of wine, one by one, the wine is dry, push the cup and change the glass, and drink it happily.

When the wine was full, Lu Duoxun shook the folding fan elegantly, burped, and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a cool place in the capital,—— Shen Lun, you are not authentic, such a good place, why didn't you say it earlier?" You have to wait until we're all hot to say it, look at our jokes, don't you? ”

Shen Lun was about to say, but Xiang Gong next to him said first: "Is it a good place, it's hard to say, haven't you heard that this place is haunted!" ”

Lu Duosun glanced at him with disdain: "You are just cowardly, but you are afraid of ghosts, forget it, otherwise, you should go out!" Go home and hide under the covers! By the way, didn't you say there before, even if you hide under the quilt, you will also see ghosts! Will this be the case with the dead maid soon? You've been on the battlefield for a long time, so why are you still afraid of ghosts? Cut! I don't know how you got to where you got on the battlefield! ”

Xiang Gong was also a veteran who followed the rebellion of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao of Song Taizu back then, and he could be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles. He has seen a lot of dead people, he was not afraid of the dead, but dead people and ghosts are two different things, not afraid of the dead does not mean not afraid of ghosts. However, he is afraid of ghosts but does not want to admit it, and hates others to say that he is afraid of ghosts. In addition, he was originally a founding father and liked to put on old qualifications, Lu Duoxun said this, of course he was not happy, and glared: "Who is afraid of ghosts?" I mean, don't talk nonsense, there's a woman here! Xiang Gong pointed at Cheng Luoyan and said, "What should you do if you scare the concubine of Lord Leng?" ”
