Chapter 2 The Old Mansion of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 5 The Home of the Guardian
As soon as he returned to the house, Wang Daling couldn't wait to close the door and come over, and whispered with a wicked smile: "What's the matter?" Ghost, you also found that there is something wrong with this old mansion, and you plan to cheat a ring and slip away? But if you borrow it so blatantly, if she comes to the door, you won't be able to pay it back? ”
Ghost Shuo didn't pay attention to Wang Daling's words, but instead said: "This old mansion is indeed strange, and so are the people!" I remember Sister Li said that they found an excavator, but look at the backyard, where can the excavator drive in? There are indeed traces of digging in the courtyard, but it was only manual excavation, she lied! ”
"People don't want to exaggerate things so that they can arouse your curiosity and let you take over quickly!" Wang Daling said nonchalantly.
Ghost Shuo opened his palm and lifted it to Wang Daling's eyes, only to see that he was holding a small lump of black soil in his hand, which looked a little like the mud in the backyard from the color, Wang Daling took a closer look and said disdainfully: "Isn't it mud?" How old are you, and you still have the heart to play with this thing? ”
Ghost Shuo said helplessly: "This is not ordinary mud, you can take a good look at it." ”
As soon as Ghost Shuo said this, Wang Daling lifted his spirit, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, but after playing left and right for a while, he couldn't see the reason, so he had to sigh: "I don't see any difference, it seems to be harder than ordinary mud." ”
"You're right, it's harder than ordinary mud, it's called rammed earth! It's been made through repeated tamping! If I'm not mistaken, there might be an ancient tomb underneath this backyard! Oni Shuo said.
"Ancient... Tomb! Ghost Shuo's words really shocked Wang Daling, and he couldn't help but shudder at the mention of these things, thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "I've heard of the rammed earth layer, but why does it have to be an ancient tomb down here?" Why can't it be the ruins of ancient buildings or... Treasure Cave or something? It's an ancient tomb.,It's true.。。。 Infiltrate! ”
Oni Shuo raised his hand and pointed to the broken light line on the roof, and continued: "As the saying goes, the living light the lamp, and the dead light the candle!" If it weren't for the ancient tomb below, how could all the light wires be cut? And this old house, don't you think it doesn't look like a house for people to live in at all? ”
"It's not like ... Giving people to live? Wang Daling repeated in a low voice, at this time his back couldn't help but feel cold, "Ah ghost, you make it clear, don't scare me, you know, I'm most afraid of those things!" Could it be that here it is ... Haunted house? ”
Ghost Shuo shook his head lightly and responded, "It's not as mysterious as you say!" Is there any haunted house in this world? I guess this should be the Watchman's house! Remember that stone platform in the front yard? That should be the sacrificial one! Can... Who would be buried here? This scale, this layout is indeed a bit incredible... ”
"Hell! Don't think about it! You go and return the ring to Sister Li, let's go back to Yunzhou, don't mix this matter anymore! Wang Daling said nervously.
"Why? Don't you want the remuneration you've been thinking about? ”
"What more do you want? Saving your life is important! As you say, here's a ... Tumulus! Then you didn't listen to what the old man said.,There's movement every night here.,And it's a lot of noise.,I'm afraid it's the rhythm of the ghosts coming out.,Forget it.。。。 We don't make this money anymore! ”
Ghost Shuo smiled lightly and responded: "Wouldn't this be better, everyone has seen it, but I haven't seen what the ghost looks like, I just opened my eyes today!" ”
Wang Daling was startled, and his voice began to tremble a little: "Ah... Hell, are you serious? No kidding! ”
Ghost Shuo glanced at Wang Daling unusually firmly, and said with a smile: "Daling, it's okay!" Let's stay and see how this play plays out. ”
Wang Daling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a million unwilling in his heart, but Ghost Shuo was so insistent, he couldn't go first alone! He knows that once he decides what he wants to do, it will be difficult to persuade the king of heaven when he comes! Besides, the black lights outside this old mansion are blind, and going out will never be much better than inside the house, after weighing it for a long time, Wang Daling had no choice but to be cross-hearted, and decided to stay, muttering in his mouth: "This time I can be regarded as letting go, if there is really a ghost, you kid will have to stand in front!" ”
Time flies very slowly in the old house, and it is terrifyingly quiet in all directions, and there are a few bird calls in the distance from time to time, and every gentle sound will make Wang Daling slightly stunned, although he is lying on the bed, covering his head with a quilt, but his ears listen carefully, every minute he stays here is like a year for him! Oni sat on the bed, his eyes closed, and rested against the wall. Finally, Wang Daling broke the silence: "Ah ghost, you see it's almost twelve o'clock, and there is no movement here, right?" I guess his family made a mistake, we... ”
Before the words fell, there was a sudden "woo" sound in the courtyard, the voice was very low, but it seemed to have great power, and the two of them heard it very clearly through the door, Wang Daling jumped up from the quilt, and hurriedly squeezed his body to the side of Ghost Shuo, his face was already pale, and he said in horror: "This... This... ”
Before the words fell, there was another sound, and slowly the sound became louder and louder, and then many voices mixed together, as if they were coming from the courtyard, and in this silent night, it was even more clear! Wang Daling's body had begun to tremble, and he couldn't stop turning his head to look at Ghost Shuo, but Ghost Shuo still had the same expression just now, and there was no trace of wave on his face. Wang Daling said in a trembling voice: "Ah... Hell, you have something to say! SHOULD NOT ... Asleep, right? Ghost Shuo raised his hand and motioned to Wang Daling not to speak.
At this time, the noise outside the house became louder and louder, one after another, and it lasted for a while, Wang Daling could hardly sit still, but fortunately, the voice began to gradually decrease, and finally disappeared completely. Wang Daling's hands were already covered with cold sweat, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, the sound lasted for about three minutes, but these three minutes almost broke his tense nerves completely. At the same time, Ghost Shuo finally slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at Wang Daling, and asked, "Do you think this sound is very similar to an instrument playing!" ”
"Playing an instrument? This sound of ghosts crying and howling, you tell me that it is a musical instrument? This kind of music is probably only something you will enjoy... What the? Musical instrument? You mean there's somebody underneath the ground, oh no, there is ... Ghosts playing? Speaking of this, Wang Daling had almost collapsed, and the whole person was curled up, trembling against the wall.
"Whether it's a human or a ghost, let's go down and see if we'll find out!" With that, Onishuo got out of bed, grabbed his tools, and prepared to go. Wang Daling said in a trembling voice: "Ah... Hell, are you serious? Knowing that there are ghosts underground, I still want to... Looking for death? ”
Ghost Shuo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll stay here, but I don't know where this ghost will come from!" ”
"Needless to say, sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman, I will go with you! Brother~" Wang Daling hurriedly interrupted Ghost Shuo, compared to staying here alone, he was willing to follow Ghost Shuo, although both were equivalent to his old life, but at least Ghost Shuo was there, and he was relatively down-to-earth.
Wang Daling got out of bed, picked up the sapper shovel on the happy ground, turned his head and asked, "Ah ghost, don't you say that we rely on this shovel to dig down from the courtyard?" ”
Ghost Shuo said: "Of course not, we enter through the door, and when will we dig by people?" ”
"Door?" As soon as Ghost Shuo's words fell, Wang Daling couldn't help but look shocked! "You know the door of the tomb?"
Ghost Shuo took the torch with the rope, and helped Wang Daling carry the rope on his back, and then said slowly: "I know, it's the ancient well!" ”
"Gujing? Isn't that where their family gets water? Why did it become the door of the tomb again? Wang Daling's face was full of disbelief.
Ghost Shuo said in a low voice: "I told you just now, there is something strange about their family! I have seen that ancient well, the water in it is not deep, and there is wind in the well, there should be other outlets! Do you remember that mural in the hall? ”
Wang Daling nodded, and Ghost Shuo continued: "The Taoist priest is sitting on the well, which in itself is a very strange way of composition, I think it should be a clue given to future generations by the spiritual keeper who built this mansion in the first place, deliberately hinting at the descendants in this strange way, the entrance to the ancient tomb is in the well!" ”
After hearing this, Wang Daling finally came to his senses, so he hurriedly followed Ghost Shuo, and the two of them went out of the room one after the other. Tonight's night is particularly bright, as soon as he went out, Gui Shuo found that the entire courtyard was clearly illuminated by the moonlight, and Gui Shuo pinched his finger and said: "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" ”
Wang Daling nodded and replied, "It seems to be!" What's wrong? Onishuo shook his head and didn't answer.
Sister Li's family lived in a room not far from the guest room, Wang Daling turned his head to look, at this time there was no light in several rooms, it was impossible for them not to notice such a big movement just now, it seemed that they were afraid that they were used to it, or they didn't dare to go out at all, Ghost Shuo urged in a low voice: "Hurry up!" ”
The two cautiously walked through the hall to the backyard, at this time the backyard was also illuminated by the moonlight very clearly, there was only an ancient well in the courtyard of Nuoda, and the atmosphere revealed an inexplicable weirdness. Ghost Shuo quickly came to the well, he picked up a small pebble and threw it into the well, and at the same time listened attentively, and soon heard a "poof" sound.
The corners of Ghost Shuo's mouth inadvertently raised slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The ancient well is not deep, my inference should be correct!" With that, he took the rope off Wang Daling's shoulder, tied it tightly to himself, and then sat down at the mouth of the well, ready for Wang Daling to let him go.
Wang Daling was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do if you go down?" How do I get down in a while? ”
Ghost Shuo smiled: "Aren't you afraid? You can help me with the wind up there! ”
"Wind? It's not a thief, what kind of wind? I'm going to come down in a moment. ”
Ghost Shuo didn't answer, but just motioned to Wang Daling to start putting himself into the well, so Ghost Shuo slowly went down the ancient well...
