Chapter 37: Rashomon
"Without further ado," Wenmo pointed to a self-built house that looked a lot like a villa, "Are you sure anyone is in there?" ”
Ma Yi blushed, "Actually...... I can't do enough, I don't understand some of the language Master speaks, it's true that this is the right direction, I ...... I could only feel a little breath. ”
"Oh, that's okay, as long as you're sure it's here." Wen Mo didn't mind at all, "You can still detect some breath, but I can't detect anything." ”
As he spoke, Wen Mo pushed open the door, obviously there should be no one living here.
Actually, I didn't want to go in because the house was so disgusting that I almost vomited.
As soon as I entered the door, I was taken aback by the layout inside, there was no furniture in the huge living room, and the floor was full of red and white candles, but I couldn't see what shape it was.
In the living room, directly facing the door, there is a table with three lifelike sculptures of fangs and claws, smiling at our room.
"Oh, that's what you're enshrined." Wen Mo glanced at it and showed a contemptuous smile, "How many years have it been, and there are still people who worship the 'Taiping Dao'." ”
"This is the 'Taiping Road'?" It's the first time I've seen such a strange offering, and it's a big taboo.
Generally speaking, fruits such as plums cannot appear on the table, because plums are called "plums", which is to avoid the surname of Taishang Laojun, and the second is that fruits such as pomegranates or cherries cannot be offered, which I don't know very well, but my grandfather told me before.
The third is that it can't be served with meat, and there is a piece of rotten and smelly raw meat on the table.
At first glance, it's all there.
"This is actually 'Taiping Dao'!?" Ma Yi looked more shocked than me, "But how can it be...... I remember my grandfather telling me that they hadn't shown up in years! ”
"Who knows." Wen Mo clapped his hands, "Work hard, the mystery in this house is big, but the people of 'Taiping Dao' didn't stay here, there shouldn't be any big danger, let's divide the troops into three ways, Qin Xian, you go to the second floor, and you look for the basement." As for me...... Wen Mo suddenly laughed, "This thing is too much of an eyesore, I have to find a way to destroy it." ”
I nodded, the house didn't look so gloomy, so I had nothing to fear.
Carefully stepping over the candles, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the evil gods who were enshrined on the desk.
They grinned, crying and laughing, their eyes narrowed slightly, and the kind of cold and evil gaze that made the whole body uncomfortable.
This thing is disgusting.
I suppressed the nausea in my heart and shook my head, believing in this thing, their aesthetic is really distorted.
I walked up to the second floor and casually stuck out my head to take a look, but I didn't see anything unusual, but a series of footprints on the ground caught my attention. The footprints were much smaller than those of ordinary people, and looked like those of a child, except for the sharp tips of claws emerging from the toes.
Could it be some kind of monster?
The footprints stretched to the end of the hallway, and I cautiously got there, only to see a shadow that scared me.
Look at it again...... Well, there is a mirror at the end, and in the mirror is me with a panicked face.
The mirror is a wooden frame, oval-shaped, and some patterns are carved on the frame, which is quite smooth, and there is a gossip mirror hanging above the frame.
It looks a little weird...... And it is also taboo to put a mirror at the end of the hallway.
It is said that when people look in the mirror for a long time, they will suddenly not recognize themselves, and the scientific saying is because of the problem of refraction and memory, but in our opinion, there are actually other factors.
Mirrors and water are both mediums leading to the underworld, so on the back of these things, there is actually a link to another world.
You're looking in the mirror, and the person in the mirror is peering at you.
I don't know why a sentence that Wenmo once said to me came to my mind, and I was suddenly scared to my senses.
"Don't look for trouble...... Don't look for trouble. I shook my head, banishing the strange sensation out of my head.
The second floor is not very large, there are five rooms in total, and the doors are closed, which looks very strange.
I took my eyes off the mirror, and the people in the mirror also turned their heads to go out, fortunately, nothing abnormal for the time being, but now I have to open the door one by one to find ......
I walked to a door, and when I was about to twist the handlebar, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, but my hand involuntarily pushed the door open.
I twisted the door open with a creak, and inside was actually a bedroom, and the most conspicuous thing was a pig-killing knife on the floor.
It should be said that it is the kind of knife that chops the bones of a cow, almost half the length of my body, and the most terrifying thing is that there are blood stains that have coagulated on it!
What normal person would put a knife in the bedroom?! Not only to summon spirits, but also to summon evil! The people on this 'Taiping Road' are really not normal people.
I stepped out on one more foot and smelled a thick smell of blood.
"Hmm...... What is it? ”
I walked in and couldn't believe my eyes!
The bedroom was dirty and messy, with a strong stench! I almost fainted.
“…… I mean, these guys don't like to be clean, right? I covered my nose and walked over to the bed, through the blackened things on the floor.
The color of the bed had also changed, it had turned black, and it felt like it was still sticky.
But...... Is that a quilt? How can there be someone under the quilt?
I saw the bulge on the bed, which really looked like a person in it.
Isn't it, it's all dirty like this, and anyone dares to sleep on it? Wait, are you sure it's a person in there?
I shuddered at the thought of this, but I reached out and gently touched the mass on the bed.
No response......
But that thing is really disgusting, and it's still wet to the touch!
But that touch ...... I'm all too familiar with this touch, and there's some stickiness, that's, that's blood!
I put my fingertips under my nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, it was a thick smell of blood.
What the hell is going on? Blood? Is this human blood or the blood of something?
Thinking about this, I suddenly didn't have the courage to continue looking, so I rubbed my hand on my clothes and turned to go out.
As soon as I turned around, I was suddenly grabbed by a hand.
"Save ...... Destiny ......"
This voice is extremely weird, and it makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Why does this person still speak with a cavity, as if there is a leak in his mouth?
And the hand that grabbed my wrist was cold, and it directly grabbed the hairs all over my body.
"Get me out......" The hissing continued, I swallowed, my voice trembling a little, "Who are you?" ”
Sensing that he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, I was bold and ripped off the quilt.
Well, it was a man with a disheveled hair lying on the bed, covered with deep stab wounds, but he was not dead, but he was dying and had difficulty speaking.
His feet and body were chained by chains the thickness of his thumb, and only his two arms could move, and one hand hung from the edge of the bed as if broken, and was pulled down from the edge of the bed, apparently broken.
My mind went blank with fear, and I almost forgot to run away.
But in the end, I still suppressed the fear in my heart and asked tremblingly, "You, are you okay?" It doesn't matter, right? Me, how can I help you? ”
He probably didn't expect me to talk to him, and his voice suddenly became excited, "Can you...... Can you help me ......."
After I settled down, and felt that there was no danger, I walked cautiously and saw the man's appearance clearly through the moonlight shining through the window.
I gasped and took a step backwards with a cold body.
Evil door! This man has a plain face, exactly the same!
"Division...... Master? How...... How could it be you? "I started to stutter when I spoke.
"The guy out there...... It's not me, it's not me......" he muttered twice, "that's an impostor...... Don't trust him, don't ......"
My limbs were cold, and I couldn't believe his words.
