What if life is only as it first seems?

Qin Ye didn't know. However, seeing that these people are still living here well, even knowing that they are not human, my heart is still a little complicated.

No one wants that.

The flowers fall and bloom year after year, and they have been hovering between this square inch for thousands of years. Life used to be as hot as the rising sun, but now ...... Who remembers the moment when the sun rises and sets?

Sighing softly, he walked over slowly, this tulou that stayed in the 90s seemed extraordinarily quiet and serene. No one spoke to him, let alone stopped him, as if he were a traveler in time.

No time to waste...... Qin Ye took a deep breath and quickly rushed towards the second floor.

Nothing stands in the way!

And...... There are still quite a few people living on the second floor. There are middle-aged women holding and coaxing children, middle-aged men playing mahjong with cigarettes in their mouths, and people in Liyuan humming Cantonese opera. There were even many villagers whose faces were numb and stared blankly at the sky.

He didn't look too much, and quickly turned into the third floor. There is also no obstruction, and on this floor, there are obviously more children, and you can even hear the occasional sound of reading in the school.

There is nothing bad about the school. There are no yin spirits there.

Turning around the school, it is a ladder to the top.

4th Floor ...... Qin Ye licked his lips, the last secret of the Huang family's tulou was located, a territory that had never been set foot on...... Without hesitation, he didn't know how long it would drag on outside, so he rushed forward at full speed.

The fourth floor is quiet.

Most of the people here are old people, some are playing chess, some are playing mahjong, and there are not many people, only less than ten. Corresponding to the whole floor, it looks extremely empty.

This is it...... Qin Ye took several deep breaths, adjusted his spirit to the best state, and tightened his grip on the doorknob.

This is typical of the 90's doors and windows. Yellow wooden door with a window on top. At the moment of grasping, in the void, countless screams of yin spirits sounded. He tried several times, and the doorknob rattled in his hand, but the rear was locked like something and wouldn't open at all.

"What's going on?" His brow furrowed, and at that moment, he suddenly heard a voice.

Crunch...... Crunch......

Who is it...... Scratching the glass window with his fingernails, the hair-making sound reached the bottom of my heart. He suddenly looked up, and there was an unkempt head staring at him just above the window! The pitch-black nails, gently scratching the window, have already scratched out white marks.

Chu people are beautiful!

Her hair was loose, her skull twisted to an angle that a man couldn't reach, her dark mouth wide open, and her black-red blood covered the windows. His whole face was pressed against the glass window, and his dead white eyes looked at the uninvited guest without blinking.

"The thing about the old corpse in the mountain village happened a hundred years ago, that is...... In 95, Chu Renmei has appeared. She's sealed here? That's it...... The first time she appeared, it was on the fourth floor. Is it a complete restoration of what it was then? Qin Ye pursed his lips, took two steps back, and kicked him suddenly.

Rumble! Most of the locks in the 90s were not strong, and this kick directly kicked the door away, and at the same time, Qin Ye's yin qi climbed to the extreme. Fu Junling was dealing with the real Chu Renmei in the outside world, and he was not sure if this "embodied phantom" could cause harm to himself.

The gate fell to the ground with a roar, however, there was no figure of Chu Renmei inside at all. The face on the glass window disappeared, and as he kicked the door open, the clouds flew by in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, ...... Turning into night.

The old man is still playing chess and mahjong. As if turning a blind eye to all this.

"Oh......" A faint wail came from the room. Qin Ye waited for five seconds before he walked in solemnly.

Black.

Very dark. The sky was cloudy, and there was not the slightest light. I couldn't see my fingers in the room. A resentful song came from the depths of the darkness: "Lang is in the happy place, and the concubine is in the broken intestines...... It's not easy to meet and separate, and the abandoned woman regrets it now......"

The five senses of his whole body have been raised to the extreme, and he squatted slightly, like a agile cheetah, and slowly rubbed his hand against the door, looking for the light button.

It's a human instinct – convenience. It is impossible for the light button to be too far away.

The moment he touched the light button, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. Without hesitation, the chains in his robe flew out, forming a cobweb around him.

Nothing.

There is no feeling of chains hitting something at all. But...... He swore he had just touched the light button...... He touched it...... The other hand!

In the dark, who was by his side, he touched the electric light with him!

"......" horror, often the so-called big horror is not terrifying, but some small things experienced in life, which can make people from the heavenly spirit to the soles of their feet.

The hand touched him, and he gently turned on the light. Bang Bang Bang ...... A light shone in the darkness, everything in the room was clearly visible, and at the same time, he was shocked to find that behind him...... There is a long shadow!

Thundered! The sky thundered and shook, and the shadows flickered and flickered, and it was a woman with a lot of heads, her hands raised, as if she wanted to caress Qin Ye's cheeks.

While! The Soul Hook Rope shot directly backwards from Qin Ye's palm. But...... The rear is still blank.

"Heh......" He breathed a deep sigh of relief and turned his head suddenly, with nothing behind him. But looking out of the open door, the hallway ...... I don't know when it was empty.

Rumble! As he watched, the door he had kicked down suddenly bounced off the ground and closed on it, and at the same time, there was a click of a lock.

There was a dead silence.

"Lonely Men and Widows...... Not quite right? Qin Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked at the room solemnly.

The floor was almost completely opened—at least from where he could see it, as a circular room. The middle is isolated by an antique screen. And in his area, there are countless photographs and paintings.

Most of the photos are blurry, 99% are black and white, only 1% are color, and the pixels are not high. But it's enough to see what's on it.

Person.

It's all people.

And it is a family portrait of the Huang family's tulou, but the clothes are different.

The first photographs were in color, with hundreds of people on them. Dressed in clothes from the 8,90s. Military uniforms, overalls, cultural shirts that have just become popular, and so on. The face is expressionless, like a group of living dead...... No, it's just a group of living dead people.

In the center, there was a middle-aged man sitting, Qin Ye's eyes moved slightly, this man ...... He was familiar.

Huang Jiansen.

He took a cursory look at it and walked over to the second photo.

These photos are posted on the wall, and the spacing is not large, at least hundreds. And this one, dated earlier, should be a photo from the sixties and seventies, and the clothes on it are almost all the green military sea soul shirts that were popular at that time, but ...... This is a black and white photo.

In the sixties and seventies, color photography was not popularized. The domestic color photography basically expanded rapidly in the 80-85 years. Around 80 or 81, the use of color reversal films began to be widely used in large cities for shooting, and at that time, there were few color expansion equipment in China, and negative films were basically processed by hand. By 84 and 85, color expansion points in major cities across the country were very common.

He glanced at it, and was about to leave, when he had just taken two steps, he was suddenly stunned, and suddenly turned around.

Wrong......

The number of people is wrong!

It's not how good his memory is, it's ...... The other party is too obvious!

Just to the left of the crowd, a woman in a blue gown with her hands on her knees sat quietly on the side of the crowd.

"Chu Renmei...... It's a supernatural photo! Qin Ye's fingers gently rubbed the figure of Chu Renmei in the photo, and murmured, "But...... Why? ”

Chu Renmei...... But he killed sixty-six people in one night, both from the village and from the engineering team. But the village ...... Looking at this photo, it is obvious to accept her! Because just under the other party's body, there is a stool, which is obviously placed for this powerful ghost!

Why accept her?

Because...... She's also a victim?

The answer is likely to lie on this floor...... He let go of his doubts and continued on his way. Ahead are more black-and-white photos, apparently, having entered the era of the Republic of China. is still the same group of people, still Chu people, or the same posture, as if telling the long river of history they have crossed and the vicissitudes of life they have witnessed.

They wore long robes, some with melon skin hats, but the clothes changed, the hairstyle changed to the Qing Dynasty hairstyle, and the hair was combed with big braids. For the rest, even the seat position has not changed.

In the last of these black-and-white photographs, he saw...... The living Chu people are beautiful.

"This should have been around 1880...... The seventh year of Guangxu ......" Qin Ye sighed softly, the reason why he decided that the other party was Chu Renmei was because the other party was still sitting in the same position, wearing a blue robe, and still sitting on that chair.

He didn't dare to delay any longer and continued to look down, but the next step was the portrait.

It was a sketch of the whole village, and the painter of the painting was highly skilled and vivid.

In the Qing Dynasty, even black and white photos were not popular, not ...... Not even yet. However, Western sketches were introduced to China, and the nobles of the court had their own sketch masters. Folk are very rare. But as an estuary, the people of Fu Lin Dao naturally have a way to find a painter. But......

Qin Ye's brows were already furrowed deeply, and he took a few steps back and looked at the photos on the wall. The sense of doubt in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"What's wrong......" He had a strong sense of incongruity, but he didn't think about it for a while. continued to step back: "It's obviously an ordinary photo, but I always feel that something is wrong...... What is the problem? ”

At this moment, his back suddenly stiffened.

Behind...... Bumped into someone.

A cold human body that smells rancid. The human body has stiffened, and the muscles are like stones. And...... An eerie, short, "uh-uh-......" sound sounded from the other person's throat.

Brush ——! The net of heaven and earth was spread out again, but just now it was like an illusion, and there was nothing.

But just as he turned his head, he was shocked to find ...... In the photo, the moment he turned his head, Chu Renmei's posture changed!

She...... is pointing to the position of the central village chief, Huang Jiansen!

"Huang Jiansen......" Qin Ye blinked, suddenly reacted, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right...... That's it! ”

"It's for the record...... For the living dead, it's not just a photo, it's ironclad evidence of how long they've lived! ”

Just like Li Zhenshu engraved the words on her body, the other party changed her approach. But as long as you look at these photos, even if they are suppressed by the balance charm and only have a hundred years of memory, as long as they are not stupid, they can deduce how long they have lived! ”

"They...... It's to remember this hatred, to remember who made them like this! Deliberately did this...... It's because ......"

He ran as fast as he could.

It's because ...... On these paintings, it is likely that there is the true face of the initiator!

It's hidden in the ...... In the original paintings!

They don't want to, they don't want to, they don't want to! Even if they die, they will be buried with each other!
