Chapter 140: The Haunted House (6)
When Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan found the huge puppet hanging on the wall, the expressions of the two of them instantly froze!
Just now, Xiang Zixi used his amazing skills to describe the craftsman who designed and built this house, so the craftsman who made this magical puppet is probably a genius.
Whether it is the expression on the face or the eyes, it is so expressive. Because it was a reflected image, and it was night, the two of them didn't notice the woman's expression and eyes. But with such a close observation, you can carefully see the expression on the puppet's face.
It was a god-like skill, which made the two big living people present stunned!
Ji Yan was just about to go over and touch the puppet, but he was caught by Xiang Zixi!
"Don't touch that puppet lightly! Since the opponent can design such an elaborate mechanism, it is bound to set up other mechanisms as well. You see, in front of the puppet, there is a huge mirror, and the image we see is supposed to reflect the outside world through this mirror using the principle of optical refraction. The purpose of this puppet is to scare the audience who are not aware of the truth, but to attract people who understand these mechanisms to come here! Xiang Zixi said lightly: "If you move a little, then she can't refract it all!" ”
Although Ji Yan didn't understand what Xiang Zixi meant by those words, she just didn't let herself touch that magical puppet.
At this time, it has been a long time since the two of them walked into the secret room, and the sky outside is estimated to be bright, and the two of them can't stay for a long time, for fear of being discovered by people outside, so they immediately returned to the secret room.
When the two men pressed the mechanism to return to the ground, the torches behind them were automatically extinguished, and the door returned to its original position.
Just when the two of them turned out from the corner of the house, they were almost startled!
I saw a large group of people standing in the yard, all of them stretched their necks to look into the house, and when they saw Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan coming out of the side unharmed, they immediately shouted happily: "Look, everyone!" They weren't eaten by female ghosts! ”
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan suddenly cried and laughed!
There are so many people who have feelings, it's to see if they are eaten by female ghosts!
But fortunately, there are so many people here, so I can just ask about what happened here in the past. Xiang Zixi immediately said: "Since everyone is here, just be lively here, yesterday pulled so many vegetables, we still have a lot of meat here, why don't you go home and bring the pot, set up a fire in the yard, let's all eat hot pot!" ”
"Hot pot? What's that? There was a look of surprise on everyone's faces.
Xiang Zixi smiled and said, "It's just a group of people gathered in front of a pot, put meat and vegetables in the pot, and take it out to eat as soon as it is puffed up!" The more people, the more lively! If you have any delicious dishes at home, you can take them over and wash them! We'll make all the meat! ”
Ji Yan smiled slightly, turned around and resisted the large bundle of vegetables from the house, and took out the meat he brought.
The ladies went home to get the pots, and the men went back to their own vegetable patches to pull vegetables. The food is not worth much, every family has it, and the meat in the hands of the two foreign brothers and sisters is worth it! Who would miss such a good thing?
So, every family came with their own pots, Ji Yan taught everyone to build a shelf, hung the pot on the shelf, and added firewood below to start boiling water. Xiang Zixi rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare seasoning with Ji Yan, Ji Yan was skillful in knives, and soon cut the large pile of meat thin and even according to Xiang Zixi's request, and sent two plates to the family, and every household also enthusiastically exchanged the vegetables they grew with each other.
Xiang Zixi taught everyone how to eat hot pot while demonstrating how to make shabu-shabu.
It is said that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and soon, the big guy quickly learned to shabu shabu and vegetables, and a family of several people gathered around a pot, and the one that ate was called a hot one, and they were very happy.
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan also made a hot pot, and the two of them gobbled it up. I didn't have much rest all night, it was exploration and calculation, and the two of them were hungry with their chests sticking to their backs!
When he was almost done, he asked the farmer sitting next to him: "Big brother, you said that this house is so good, and it has been some years, right?" ”
"That's it! But it's not too long, it's only a few years of effort, right? The farmer shook his head.
At this time, Farmer No. 2 interjected and said: "Where are the years, it is clearly ten years ago!" I remember it clearly! Ten years ago, a young couple suddenly came to the village, just like the two of you, very kind to us locals, saying that they wanted to live here. Then I really lived in it and built such a big house! ”
Farmer No. 1 suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, it's been almost ten years!" However, this house has been built for a long time, almost two full years to complete! I really don't know what kind of house it is, but it took two years to build it! ”
Farmer No. 3 also began to interject and said, "No, I live next door to them, and I can hear the tinkling of the house every day, and I don't know what to knock!" And then a whole bunch of dirt was pushed out of the house! It's really evil! The couple doesn't go out often, and if they have anything to eat and wear, they come out to buy it from us, and they are also generous! I also brought us pastries that are only available in the capital! It's something I've never seen before! ”
Farmer No. 3 smashed his mouth, still reminiscing about that wonderful feeling.
"Didn't you exchange a snuffbox with them, old man?" Farmer No. 3's wife, Peasant Woman No. 3, said: "You took it out a few years ago to show off, where are you putting it now?" ”
Farmer No. 3 carefully took it out of his arms and said ostentatiously: "You see, I don't want to use it!" It's so beautiful like I've never seen before! ”
Ji Yan stretched out his hand to take it, took a closer look, and said to Xiang Zixi in a low voice: "This is something used by the palace, it should be spread from the palace!" ”
Xiang Zixi's eyes suddenly lit up! Palace? Could it be that the man and the woman actually came out of the palace?
Farmer No. 2 continued: "This couple is also evil, they stay at home all day and don't go out, but they go out once a year, and when they come back, they are scarred, and I have mentioned several times to help them see the injuries on their bodies but they have been rejected by the other party!" ”
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan glanced at each other, this secret was getting closer and closer to him!
"Then, how did you hear that they provoked the enemy and were killed?" Xiang Zixi continued to ask, "Who are the people who killed them?" ”
Farmer No. 1 said, "Who knows? Anyway, six years ago, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the house, and then they all rushed in like fairies, and then they heard a scream in the room and a woman's terrible cry, and then the group left, taking the bodies of the man and the woman, and then the house was no longer inhabited. A few years ago, we went to the house and got some things, but they all died anyway, and the things broke down there, and it turned out to be ,————."
When Farmer No. 1 said this, Farmer No. 1's wife, Farmer No. 1, glanced at him fiercely, and said while feeding the child: "I said that those things are unlucky, you don't believe it!" It's a dead man's thing, stained with blood, and you must know that you will be punished! ”
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan laughed softly.
Farmer No. 1 drooped his head and said no more, and Farmer No. 3 continued: "One night, a child who hid a cat with his companion fell asleep in that house in a daze, but when he woke up, he saw a woman without legs, and she went to grab him with her teeth and claws. There was really a woman dressed in white with a disheveled head and no feet running over to catch us, and we were scared at the time, it was a fart and urine! ”
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan burst out laughing, it seems that everyone here is scared!
"We are not afraid of your jokes, and then we watched from afar, and the female ghost saw that we were no longer gone, and she never came out, so we slaughtered the animal and thanked the gods, and let the gods intercede with the female ghost, so that she would not come out to harm us, and we would never disturb her again, let alone move the things at home! The gods really didn't let that female ghost come out again! Farmer No. 2 said in a sloppy manner: "Now we can finally get along with the female ghost safely, and no one will disturb anyone!" It seems that the female ghost who lives here is a kind female ghost and didn't harm us, otherwise we would have died a long time ago! ”
Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan heard this, and just smiled lightly.
The two of them were thinking about the bloody case that happened six years ago, and those people clearly followed the footsteps of the two people, and then killed them and took away the body. It shows that there are really secrets hidden in the bodies of the two people.
A person who can bring things out of the palace, a person who has been killed by many killers, in any way, should not be an ordinary person.
Xiang Zixi cares more about this matter, because this is the Dark Country! The palace of the Dark Kingdom is closely related to Jin Haoxuan, maybe an ordinary incident can involve Jin Haoxuan?
It seems that we will continue to explore the secret room further tonight to see if we can discover other secrets.
Ji Yan continued to greet everyone to eat, and distributed the meat in his hand to other people's families, which won everyone's unanimous praise.
"I mean, you don't want to sleep here tonight! Even if the female ghost didn't mind last night, it doesn't mean that she won't be happy tonight, and if you annoy the female ghost, it will be a big deal! The peasant woman No. 1 said bitterly.
Xiang Zixi smiled lightly, pointed at Ji Yan and said, "It's okay, his eight characters are very hard!" Ordinary ghosts and gods can't help him! I'm fine with him! ”
