Chapter 105: The Old Affair of the Xu Family
The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the dark web ghost detective!
It seems to be early spring, and it is cold.
The sound of gongs and drums came from the mouth of the alley, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the high-pitched suona and red cloth added some excitement to the cold brick wall, which made the guys and some children in the shop look at each other, and those young men looked at the sedan chair, pursed their lips or fascinated their eyes, and inadvertently revealed their envy.
And the saffron sedan chair swayed gently, shaking the red color very lively, full of joy.
Someone muttered: "It's not that anyone's family wants to marry a bride... Tsk..."
Those who knew couldn't help sighing: "The eldest young master of the Xu family, that's it... Right... Alas".
No one said any more, but some old people frowned, and the deep wrinkles covered their eyes, and they all secretly said to themselves: It's a pity, it's a pity...
The long alleyway seemed to carry the words far away, so the wind blew the curtain of the sedan chair, and the bride heard it. Her nails were buried in the silk scarf in her hand, and she was shaking tightly. Fortunately, the sound of music swallowed the fine throat.
At dusk, the bride was helped into the lobby.
An Yuxuan woke up with a sore back, her back hurt very much, and she only remembered this dream. She said angrily: "It's all Xu Fenglin's fault, every day he talks about his eldest young master and the second young master, and he has completely blinded himself, and his dreams are all bad things for the Xu family!" But An Yuxuan later thought, could it be that she knew it by herself, not a dream?
What appeared in the dream was the daughter-in-law of the Xu family before? In the story told by Xu Fenglin, the eldest young master married a drama and entered the door, saying that he was a happy girl, and the troupe couldn't afford to raise a girl, so he bought it for the Xu family. According to the previous rules, the Xu family was a big family, with a strict hierarchy, and as soon as the little girl entered the door, she was the aunt's wife in another room, and her status was not as high as that of the eldest maid who served the old lady at home.
An Yuxuan sat in the courtyard with Xu Fenglin blowing the wind and told him about his dream. Xu Fenglin was stunned a little surprised, "Are you serious? Don't lie to me. ”
"Why should I lie to you?" An Yuxuan didn't understand, "I know that you don't believe in my psychic ability again, but what I dreamed of is the scene of marriage, and I remember that alley very clearly, it seems to be in the town." If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it. ”
Xu Fenglin stopped her and slowly spoke... Early this morning, Jian Jue said that there had been murders here, and there were several other courtyards that were very angry. This morning you came to me again and told me that you were psychic to a certain place, which one are you singing?
Tao Ran leaned over, lay on An Yuxuan's shoulder, put his head next to her, and said, "As soon as you enter this courtyard, are you stunned?" One will be the eldest young master, and the other will be the aunt's wife, don't talk about this, it's weird and scary, what if they find us! Have you thought about it? ”
"That's Jian Duan's task, he is responsible for exorcizing ghosts, and I am responsible for recruiting ghosts." An Yuxuan pushed Tao Ran's head away with a smile, "If you find us, none of them will be able to escape." ”
When they were talking and fighting, they saw Xu Fenglin closing his eyes and rubbing the acupuncture points of his eyes, and they asked him what was wrong. Xu Fenglin opened his slightly tired eyes and spoke: "I feel... Recently, my head has been very dizzy, very dizzy. ”
Jian Jue walked over, he was actually wet, his face was sluggish, as if something had just happened, Jian Jue was a little dazed, when he walked over, his feet were wet with mud, and his pants were dirty. An Yuxuan and the others gathered around to ask Jian Jue what happened, Jian Jue shook his head, but An Yuxuan saw that on his middle finger, where the red thread strangled his finger, there was blood oozing out.
An Yuxuan took Jian Du to a place to clean alone, behind the kitchen is a water tank, there is a well, not deep, it is a well drilled in recent years, connected to the underground river in the mountain. An Yuxuan wiped the mud on Jian Jie's face, but Jian Jue rejected her, and instead picked up a handkerchief to wipe her face.
An Yuxuan saw that he hadn't spoken, so she was very worried and asked scaredly, "Jian Jue, what's wrong with you?" ”
Jian Jue looked at her, sighed, and said, "You.... Are you really bold or lucky, you said that there are no evil spirits in the lotus pond, that is, the spirit body is good, right? According to your psychic. I went to try, and I was almost possessed and drowned at the bottom of the lotus pond! I'll go.... I'm now... I can't think about anything, and I can't calm down. ”
An Yuxuan was stunned, she remembered the sound she met when she went to the lotus pond that night, was it just a fluke that she came back safely? An Yuxuan showed a sad look, she bowed slightly to Jian Jue, and said apologetically that she was sorry, because she herself failed to perceive the good or bad of the spirit.
Jian Jue wiped his face clean and saw An Yuxuan looking like she was about to cry. He understood that An Yuxuan had always been unconfident in himself, even to the point of doubting his ability. But Jian Jue was also negligent, so he was almost possessed, he said: "I don't blame you, I blame myself." But I really didn't expect that a lotus pond, which was calm on the surface, actually had hidden fluctuations, and I was dragged into the water. The bottom of the lotus pond.... ”
"What happened at the bottom of the lotus pond?" An Yuxuan asked hurriedly.
"There may be bodies buried." Jian Jue wiped his face again, and he was stimulated by the cold water, which can be regarded as calming down. He said: "If you don't deal with the situation of the lotus pond, it will really become a murderous house if it accumulates." Also, there are a lot of small courtyards, I don't know what to call them, anyway... Many of the arches were half-sealed and turned into yin-yang doors, and to be honest, this is the only feng shui place I can see for myself. The Yin-Yang Gate is a taboo in Feng Shui, but I don't know why, the courtyard in the depths has not been renovated, and those arches have not been removed. To be honest, the environment here is very good, but there is a little problem with the pattern. ”
"What's the problem?" An Yuxuan hurriedly asked while Jian Jue had the inspiration to think.
Jian Jue gasped, he looked around a little nervously, "Don't you think that the general courtyard is accessible in all directions?" Many places here are dead ends, and when I went to see them, I found that they were sealed, and many places were sealed tightly, leaving only one way in. It's equivalent to, if you go to a small courtyard, you have to keep walking a path, all the way to the depths, so that there will be a kind of... Don't you feel like you're in prison? ”
An Yuxuan also had this feeling, obviously it is a very large house, there are many rooms, and the courtyards are placed very wild and cleverly, but it always gives people the illusion that they want to be locked up. Jian Jue sighed and said, "A boxy yard with only one tree planted in it, and a private room, isn't it a sleepy word?" ”
"I... I didn't expect so much, but in my dream, the small courtyard you said, there is only one tree in all directions, I saw it in my dream. An Yuxuan closed her eyes and thought about it carefully, the sound of gongs in her ears was still a little dripping rain, and slowly, it was a pair of red-soled embroidered shoes stepping on the puddle, and it seemed that a bride had stayed here. It seems that it is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. ”
"If it's a Ming media who is getting married, how can you stay in that kind of place?" Jian decided to think of the story told by Xu Fenglin.
They went to Xu Fenglin to ask, and Xu Fenglin took them to see the photos they left. "What you shouldn't be talking about is Yang March, the girl who came in from the Xu family to the eldest young master Xu Xuankang, many people said that she killed the Xu family. This is her, on the photo, standing next to her. ”
In the family photo, a quiet woman standing at the edge is looking at the end with blank eyes. Small round face, slender eyes, very charming. Xu Fenglin said: "Yang March used to sing opera, so some teachers hallucinated, and they always felt that there were more dramas on the stage." ”
"The video circulating on the Internet was made." Jian Jue said suddenly, he saw that Xu Fenglin didn't believe it, and took out a copy of the information of the local association, "Yang March is not pretending to be Tsing Yi, he is singing and commenting." So how could it be that a few shadows in this costume were singing on stage. The association says that in 1942, Yang was introduced by her husband to a local Pingtan club. It is true that the Xu family is a big landowner, and they are also squires, and they like to join various cultural societies and literary associations. Therefore, the old members of the local literary society association also have people from the Xu family. ”
Jian Du took out the photo, "Let's sort out the relationship between the previous characters of the Xu family." ”
"It's an old lady in the family, son Xu Sanhuan, who later died in Shandong, two sons. The eldest son, Xu Xuankang, has already married a wife, but he has been childless for many years, so it may be the reason for Nayang March. Xu Fenglin pointed to a woman in the family photo, "She is Xu Xuankang's original wife, and we can't find the name." ”
"You're checking it too?" Jian Jue asked Xu Fenglin with great interest. Tao Ran was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he patted Xu Fenglin: "Could it be... You... There has always been a great plan to revive the Xu family? ”
"It's not... No..., a lot of things, it's grandma who said it, and when she was bored, she told us about the past. My grandmother is indeed a beautiful girl, and I always have the impression of wearing delicate hair and a cheongsam. Xu Fenglin said, "I am indeed writing the history of the Xu family, don't you think it's funny?" After he finished speaking, he shook his head with a smile and sighed inexplicably.
Later, he mentioned the second young master Xu Xuanyan, in the photo, many people's faces were blurred, and the second young master couldn't see his face clearly when he stood behind.
"You don't need to look at his face, just look at Xu Fenglin." Tao Ran remembered that the crazy old man didn't say that he looked like the second young master Xu before, the old man was crazy, and he didn't know whose family it was. Just because he and Lu Qian said in the teahouse at that time that Xu Fenglin was the descendant of the Xu family, when the old man heard it, he insisted on coming up to see it.
But, Tao Ran remembered, didn't the old man say that Xu Fenglin looked alike... Instead, he simply pulled Xu Fenglin and shouted the second young master, the second young master. Then the people in the teahouse knew him, and he was fine before, but for some reason he went crazy later. It is said that before he went crazy, he told the story of the Xu family, because when he was a teenager, he worked as a long-term worker for the Xu family for a period of time.
There is something that An Yuxuan and Xu Fenglin only knew. That was when An Yuxuan gave Xu Fenglin a psychic, and he was delirious and asked him to take a look at the Xu family. After waking up, An Yuxuan didn't know what she said.
Later, both of them had to forget about it, until Lu Qian bought this mansion and took them here to play for the first time. The first time Xu Fenglin came here, he seemed to be still looking for what his grandmother said, a small branch stretched out from under the big banyan tree, just enough for a person to raise his hand to hang a birdcage.
He found the tree, and indeed there was only a small branch growing under the trunk, but there was no birdcage to be seen.
Jian Jue saw that the three of them were silent with different expressions, snapped his fingers, and said: "The situation is serious, this place is not as calm as looking at the mountains, I have to find the cause of the incident in order to find a way to exorcise evil spirits." If there really is a ghost here, who will it be, and what are they doing here? Whether there is a wish or not, this is something I have to investigate. ”
An Yuxuan was dissatisfied when she heard this, "Hey, I'm also a psychic, I also have to investigate this matter well, why do you always refuse to believe me?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe you, there are some courtyards here where the sun can't shine in, and the yin is very heavy." Jian Jue said this, and suddenly changed his words, "Also, Xiaoxuan, you said that you can be psychic, so let's go to the courtyard tonight and give it a try?" Try using my method and yours together. ”
"That's what you did so that I could be psychic?" An Yuxuan probably understood, "Is that so?" ”
"Yes, yes, that's what it means, I want to get more clues." Jian Jue said.
In the afternoon, it was cloudy, and he decided to go to the scene by himself, and he was there
The wind is blowing around the boxy yard, the wind seems to be moving, from the outside "rustling" blowing green bamboo and green trees, and then to the inner courtyard to pick up fallen leaves and wild flowers, the peach blossoms of a tree are fluttering, and they are swirling on the ground. But the innermost courtyard is quiet, its high white walls seem to block everything lively, and there is no smell of fireworks in the world. Jian never understood the shape of the building, and she didn't know why the courtyard wall inside was so much higher, and at a glance, it looked very abrupt. The white walls were terrifying and serious, and Jian Jue walked slowly over, and when he walked into an archway, he saw a pond. Surrounded by it, there is no gate for the innermost courtyard.
This pattern is getting smaller and smaller. Jian Jue sighed. Because the courtyard was designed by designers in the Qing Dynasty, the designers at that time would not be so stupid, and it seems that this house was taken over by later generations and at least rebuilt.
There are also arches, it is impossible for craftsmen not to know that the door cannot be sealed only half, and it has become a yin and yang door, which is a big taboo in the industry. After watching it for a while, I don't know, what people said, for a while, the people of the Xu family, whether it was the young master or the subordinates, were closed, so what were they doing inside?
In the afternoon, while there was sunshine and sufficient yang, Jian Jue found a shovel, which was broken by the previous engineering team. It can still be used, Jian Jue picked him up and went to the lotus pond.
He took off his clothes and went down the hallway, jumped over the fence himself. The lotus pond is only up to the waist of Jiandu, but the water is turbid, and it is said to be a lotus pond because the black and green water surface has only a few lonely rotten lotus flowers and lotus leaves. Jian Jue grabbed a shovel and began to dig around the bottom of the lotus pond. It's all mud and I don't understand what he's looking for. After a long time, Jian decided that he could only give up, and he still couldn't do it alone. When he went ashore, he was still wet, and he couldn't manage it so much, but fortunately he brought a lot of clothes with him.
In the middle of the night, Jian Jue was ready to work with An Yuxuan. An Yuxuan pasted a talisman on Jian Jie's body, as well as the red silk thread on his wrist, and the other end was held in Jian Jie's hand. Then there is the soul bell, which is tied to the tree, and the red thread and the soul bell are tied together. If An Yuxuan gets out of control, as soon as she walks away, the soul bell will ring.
In addition, Jian Jue also held a few bells at the other Yin Yang Gate doors, so as not to disturb Jian Du from some ghosts coming in these doors.
Afterwards, An Yuxuan stood in the middle of the courtyard and carefully felt the surrounding movements.
