Chapter 247: A Strange Cry
The plants in this yard are different, other yards are planted with some decorative flowers and plants, and most of the plants here are grain and fruit trees, and a row of small trees are planted along the courtyard wall, although these trees are small, but they emit a smell similar to vanilla, this smell is refreshing, can purify the air, and the smell of meat outside wafts to the vicinity of the yard, and can no longer enter, like a natural protective wall.

Chen Zhi took a closer look into the courtyard at this time, and found that the layout of this courtyard was designed, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary residential courtyard, but if you looked closely, a pickaxe, a water tank, a wooden basin, and even the location of flowers and plants in the middle courtyard all implied the formation of Qimen Dunjia.
The house style of this piece of residence is also different from other places, it is very the style of the folk houses in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the small houses in the courtyard are very delicate and pure, although the walls are also made of white jade, but they are no longer decorated so jeweled, dazzling. The small house is a two-story structure, and the door on the first floor is open, but the upper windows of the attic on the second floor are nailed with wooden boards, and the windows are not exposed, which looks airtight.
"There is something wrong with this house," Chen Zhi whispered to the ghost knife. "Let's go in and have a look."
In the current situation, everyone can't get out of this courtyard for the time being, and the state of the stone is very bad, so Chen Zhi asked everyone to rest in the courtyard first and hide for a while. He called Fat Wei and entered the house with the ghost knife.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the house, Chen Zhi only felt that the smell of heavy vanilla came to his nose, and he saw a bead of pearl and strange grass fairy vine hanging on the door, with strings of bright red fruits on it, hanging down like coral beans, exuding a strong smell of vanilla, completely isolating those meaty aromas from the outside.
The interior of the room is really very elegant, and the ceiling is hung with a sea dragon lamp made of silver wire, which is inlaid with a huge night pearl, illuminating the interior as bright as day. In the middle of the room, there is a plain screen of white gauze and golden silk nanmu, and there is only one set of white porcelain tea bowls on the table, which is typical of the style of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
Everyone was about to enter the inner room to take a look, when the ghost knife suddenly held the handle of the knife in his hand, and said in a vigilant low voice, "Be careful, there is someone upstairs." ”
The words of the ghost knife startled Chen Zhi and Fat Wei, and they looked up in unison.
"Someone? Could there be living people in such a ghost place? As soon as Fat Wei's words came out, he heard a soft cry from upstairs.
"Woo~Woo~~","Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The cry whimpered, seemed to be there and sounded like a woman crying.
Chen Zhi's nerves immediately tensed, in this dead and silent city, there shouldn't be any living creatures, so what could be the thing crying on it now? Is it a demigod? Or, ghosts?
"Woo~Woo~~","Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The crying upstairs grew louder and louder, desolate and mournful, as if it were deliberately crying to them and luring them over.
"Let's go, since everyone has sent out invitations, let's go up and have a look!", Fat Wei said with a smile, turned around and walked upstairs.
"Wait a minute", Chen Zhi lowered his voice and grabbed Fat Weidao.
"Don't rush up there yet, have you ever thought about what it could be up there? Let's go out and discuss it first, and make plans! Don't be too reckless. ”
"What could it be? Anyway, it's not human," Fat Wei said with a smile, "Orange, aren't you mentally prepared?" Now that we've all been in this kind of place, it's so strange to meet a fairy girl or something. ”
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he took out the shiny Dakaishan from the leather knife bag and pressed it to his side, gestured to the ghost knife, and climbed up the stairs without hesitation, the ghost knife followed closely behind him, and Chen Zhi followed after hesitating.
The stairs here are the kind of simple stairs up and down in ancient times, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a wooden ladder, people actually need to use both hands and feet to climb up, where the feet are stepped on, the ladder creaks and creaks, and it is impossible to do it quietly.
And the crying upstairs was not affected by this sound, and was still crying loudly, and the voice was eerie, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
The second floor is different from the first floor, the layout is small, it looks like a woman's boudoir, the furnishings in the boudoir are exquisite, the wall is hung with night pearl lighting, in front of it is a wooden couch chair, the couch is covered with splendid Rongyun, there is a carved lacquered wooden table in front of the couch, there is a green jade incense burner on the several, the innermost part of the room is a wooden embroidery bed, hanging on it with a green gauze curtain, decorated with colored silk on both sides, and next to the curtain, is a large wooden wardrobe.
And the woman's crying came slowly from the closet.
Several people gathered in front of the door of the wardrobe and looked at it for a while, there was no movement in the closet except for crying, and the ghost knife pulled out a long knife at this time, giving Fat Wei a look.
Fat Wei understood, opened his body sideways and hid next to the cabinet, and stretched out his hand to slam open the door of the wardrobe.
The crying stopped suddenly, and I saw a woman's white face peeking out of the closet.
This woman looks very delicate, looks seventeen or eighteen years old, has fine white skin, eyebrows like ink paintings, face like peach petals, tears in her eyes, wearing a common robe and silk skirt in the Yuan Dynasty, with a green inlaid treasure belt around her waist and white beaded flowers on her head.
When the woman saw them, she was full of surprise and trepidation, and she hid behind the cabinet door with tears in her eyes, and said in a strange voice, "You, who are you? ”,
"Who are you, and who are you?" , Fat Wei said with a smile, "Big sister, I said let's stop talking about fasting here!" Don't pretend to be scared like this, are you a ghost or a god, or a fox fairy or something, if you have any magical powers, just use it! ”
"How do you know I'm a fox fairy?" The woman's eyes were full of tears, and she said in great trepidation. "Do you know my husband? Did he ask you to save me? ”
"Your husband, who is your husband?" At this time, Fat Wei seemed to feel that the woman's reaction was very interesting, and pointed at Chen Zhi and asked. "Is your husband him?"
"Presumptuous!" , the woman suddenly said angrily, "My husband is Ren Quan, a member of the three grades of the dynasty, and I am his wife, so I must not be rude." ”
Hearing the word Ren Quan, Chen Zhi's head immediately buzzed.
The name Ren Quan is too familiar to Chen Zhi. Before coming to Shandong, the old somersault showed him the information about the tomb of the gods, and the name of the Shandong official who recorded the "Family Trivia" was Ren Quan.
He was a native of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and he described in "Family Trivia" that he had several dewy relationships with a woman named Qing'e when he was young. Na Qing'e once told him that he was really a fox fairy, and persuaded Ren Quan's family to escape from this place as soon as possible, and gave him a pearl.
After Ren Quan later obtained fame, when he went to look for Qing'e, he couldn't find any trace of her, so he recorded this matter in the "Family Trivia". (For details, read Chapter 192 of the Tomb of the Heavenly Fox God - The Lost Village)
"You said your husband's name is Ren Quan, so what's your name?" , Chen Zhi immediately looked at the woman vigilantly and asked.
The woman blinked, looked at Chen Zhi, and said without hesitation: "My name is Qing'e" (to be continued.) )
