Three watches in the middle of the night, yin and yang are intertwined, the upper realm is not divided, and it is attributed to the hour.

Everything is cold in the middle of the night, whether it is the breeze or the lonely moon. In this courtyard, the trees and flowers were busy setting the morning dew, but the flowers and her trees that had been scattered by the wind had withered ahead of time. It stands to reason that there are trees, flowers and grasses, and none of them are so withered and ugly, so they should not be so deserted; There is no obligation to follow people's wishes.

Jian Jue was draped in his coat, and the wind went straight into his sleeves, which made him wrap his arms around and rub them up and down.

The wind here is very strange, it doesn't seem to blow in nature, but I think that the believers who have been living in the house come and go to convey the communication between each small courtyard without a trace.

Returning to the old place, Jian decided to bury the other gods and Buddhas in all their bodies, and only took away the white porcelain Guanyin statue. Everything in the earth has been destroyed by men, and it has been left with evil. This statue is made of porcelain, if it is a jade Guanyin... Not only will it be evil, but it will even bring disaster to itself.

Jian decided to wash the blood stains on the white porcelain Guanyin statue and found that only this one body was not damaged. He soaked it in glutinous rice water and wrapped it around the statue with red thread, holding it together with the willow branches.

Guanyin seems to be slowly exuding a jade-like warmth in the white water.

Someone once told me that porcelain is the object that can be preserved for the longest time, buried in the ground and will never rot.

I only said, "Porcelain is the most in line with the five elements, and it happens to be composed of 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'." ”

Thinking that the others were still asleep, he heard footsteps behind him.

Unsurprised, he looked back playfully and threw a coat on his head.

"You really just want to get rid of me and act alone, Jane, I'm the one who hired you." An Yuxuan deliberately let out footsteps.

"I.... I'm just used to it. Jian Jue took out his coat, his smile seemed to have dried for a long time, from going out to burying the soil, to cleaning Guanyin, he was expressionless.

An Yuxuan squatted down beside him and asked, "Is this bodhisattva still useful?"

"Definitely."

"What about those in the yard?" Xu Fenglin looked at Jian Du and asked, for some reason, she always felt that Jian Du could use any method, and nothing could be difficult for him.

"I'm not so powerful, I can handle it all, I can only say that it is, reluctantly." Jian Jue smiled and avoided An Yuxuan's gaze.

"I followed you to the courtyard before, and I witnessed you burying the earth the whole time. I saw you take something again... Eh, don't be surprised, I walk without a sound..., so where are you going to put this Bodhisattva? In the house of the small courtyard? I heard that it was a small ancestral hall in the former house. An Yuxuan said.

Jian Jue hurriedly asked, "How do you know what that wooden house is for?" Jian Jue didn't say this to anyone else, it was Jian Jue's own guess about the purpose of the building.

"Strange to say, what Xu Fenglin said, he knows more about this place than Lu Qian."

"Xu Fenglin? He really deserves to be the Xu family. ”

"You think so, too?" Xu Fenglin said in a snarky tone, "The former eldest young master of this house, Xu Xuankang. The Society has a collection of his letters to his wife and brother. ”

"Did you mention it in the letter?" Jian Jue was overjoyed to hear that there were still paper materials left.

"Just one sentence, 'The old lady still goes to the small ancestral hall to worship her queen mother'? Xu Fenglin measured that it was there—the central direction of the whole house. Xu Fenglin took out a yellowed photo in a label bag from the lining of his clothes, a group photo of a large family. It was originally stored in an institution here, and it was kept by Young Master Xu, and I am talking about our Young Master Xu Fenglin. Lu Qian also said that he wanted to hire Xu Fenglin to be the manager of the house. ”

Jian decided to take it and look at it carefully. At first glance, I saw a lot of weirdness. He raised his eyes and glanced at An Yuxuan, An Yuxuan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the photo, too, ordinary people are not as sensitive as ghost detectives.

After all, in Jian Jue's eyes, the photos reflected in them showed distorted faces and even blurred limbs... This shows that some of the people in the photo died unexpectedly.

After going back, Jian Jue was thinking, can't An Yuxuan be able to hold the photo to psychic?

In the early hours of the morning, An Yuxuan slept very lightly, and some strange noises in the house woke her up.

She turned on the flashlight and shone the room, the tables, chairs and benches were all in place, and the trees outside the window were quiet.

"Whew, scare me." An Yuxuan frowned at herself in disgust, she thought she was not small.

But in her sleep, she seemed to hear someone going out, An Yuxuan was startled, turned over and got out of bed, and went to find someone. When she got downstairs, the people were still there, but a strong hallucination that someone outside was waiting for her came to her heart. She thought: This plot... In horror movies, he is the most dangerous one.

An Yuxuan wanted to find someone to accompany her, but she didn't wake anyone up, she was a psychic. What's more, most people will only think that going out at this time is sick. She put on the talisman given by Jian Jue, and also found the red thread that she had removed, and while recalling, she learned to wrap the red thread around Jian Jue's middle finger.

Then put on a coat, a handful of rice and a handful of red dates, whatever it grabbed, and put it in his pocket.

This is bold enough, An Yuxuan straightened her chest and took a confident stride.

There is no courtyard outside the attic, and when you step into an archway, you enter a courtyard with rockery and green water.

"Here... Why haven't I been here?" An Yuxuan probed her head and thought, she may not have been here before, maybe she walked around during the day and had no impression.

She went deep into the courtyard and went up a hallway around the green pool.

Feeling a tingling in her scalp, she hurriedly spilled a handful of rice behind her. "If this were in a horror movie, I would be the first person to die." She felt that it was not good to say this, so she changed her words, "But I should be the protagonist, so they will be the ones who will suffer." According to the simple decision, only Xu Fenglin can protect himself. ”

As soon as she said this, she felt that the entire mansion would suddenly hear the screams of people.

The pool surface illuminated by the flashlight was dark and deadly, An Yuxuan didn't dare to look at it more, and wanted to go to other places. Follow the corridor around left and right, go down the stairs to the back of the courtyard. Behind you can see a high wall, under which is a lotus pond and a corridor around the pond to enclose a wing.

"Gone wrong again! This approach is not at all like the main character. An Yuxuan's heart was beating fast, sweating behind her back, and she got lost at night, this is the supporting role than the dead routine! After being alone, An Yuxuan turned on the complaining mode, which was also to divert attention and make herself no longer so afraid.

However, even if she kept complaining, An Yuxuan's expression was already scared.

She swallowed, grabbed another handful of rice and threw her hand behind her head.

"Smack!"

Rice seems to have hit something.

"Ahh This time An Yuxuan screamed miserably, and she was depressed when she made this sound, it turned out that she was the supporting role.

Turning around, the flashlight shone, and the scene in front of her made An Yuxuan feel creepy: I don't know if it was the air flow or what the wind, the rice flowed with a gust of flow, and then slowly sprinkled on the ground...... "popping", the rice fell one by one, and the flow in the air floated to the lotus pond, and the pond surface set off ripples.

The black clouds drifted away, and the moonlight sprinkled over the lotus pond, coldly reflecting a cluster of lotus leaves that had been lost for a long time.

Behind this...... Is there something that follows you all the time?

An Yuxuan's teeth couldn't control the trembling, she grabbed the flashlight and kept shining around, even more frightened if there was any other "thing" following.

"Who the hell, who brought me here?" An Yuxuan began to slap herself in the face for her reckless behavior.

She slapped herself and held her face in pain.

An Yuxuan thought to herself, "You are so ruthless to your own people!" However, this slap woke An Yuxuan up, and she realized that something was wrong, that is, she reacted to what Jian Jue said correctly, and her psychic needs to be triggered by a special environment.

Thinking so, the ethereal sound of the pool water pierced.

The voice was at the bottom of her feet, and An Yuxuan understood that this wing house was built on a pool. So she simply lay down, put her ear to the plank, and listened to the sound.

The sound seems to come from deep underwater, or even deeper... Because with an echo and a grudge, it's not clear at all, but it doesn't want to stop at all. Sometimes ethereal, sometimes embarrassed, and the trembling voice is more like crying.

An Yuxuan raised her head in a daze, she didn't know what she was listening to, she felt stupid like this. But she didn't want to stand up, for fear of missing any information.

This time, I couldn't hear anything.

"It's... It can also be said," An Yuxuan said regretfully, "It's because I'm restless, and when I look up, I can't hear anything." She grabbed the flashlight and had to leave.

Turn around, right around the corner.

The voice is crystal clear in the back of the head.

"Young Master......."

"Who?" An Yuxuan turned her head suddenly, and bumped into a soft wind, causing her to close her eyes and retreat, not forgetting to add, "Who is talking?" ”

There was only one sentence, but An Yuxuan wrote it down, "Big young master? Xu Xuankang! It seems that this eldest young master must owe a lot of romantic debts, second aunt, don't worry, I'll ask Brother Fox. ”

Obviously, the voice is a young children's voice, for some reason, I don't know which TV series has the influence, An Yuxuan's aunt and young master are full of brains!

An Yuxuan was very sober-minded, remembering the original way, she ran while not forgetting to sprinkle rice behind her. The sparse sound of rice falling to the ground sounded "whoosh", which was the clearest movement in the night. The other movements were all stopped by the rice grains, and it was not until An Yuxuan left that he slowly left, and followed the endless winding stone road to a deeper place.

Running all the way back to the attic, An Yuxuan thought that she couldn't come back, plus she was scared, her heart was beating so hard that her chest hurt, and she couldn't stop panting, waiting for her to catch her breath... Cai and Jian Jue and Xu Fenglin's eyes met.

"Didn't you sleep?" An Yuxuan swallowed.

"Didn't you sleep too?" Jian Jue's eyes narrowed, and he noticed An Yuxuan coming in, revealing a few grains of rice.

"How did you get out? .... When did you get out?" Xu Fenglin was shocked, why was An Yuxuan so difficult to manage, she ran out to play by herself if she wasn't paying attention.

An Yuxuan stretched out her head to look at Xu Fenglin, who was blocked by Jian Jie's figure, and she asked: "Xu Fenglin, you have investigated the relationship between the characters here, do you know about Xu Xuankang, the eldest young master of the Xu family, who was here before?"

“... Who?"

"Didn't you just read Xu Xuankang's letter to his wife?"

"Oh, I've read it, but I got very little information from the letter," Xu Fenglin was puzzled, but also found it funny, "What are you doing out?" As soon as I came back, I asked Young Master Xu, did you see him? ”

Jian Jue lowered his head and smiled, he seemed to know something.

An Yuxuan wanted to read the letters, but Xu Fenglin just wanted her to go back to sleep, "Are you tired of running around at night, I'll show you tomorrow morning, go to sleep now." ”

"Well, maybe I'm thinking too much." An Yuxuan touched her forehead, but she was like a mirror in her heart, she definitely didn't hear it, but it didn't work to tell anyone.

At night, she lay in bed, staring at the mosquito net.

A flashlight came, and Jian Jue asked softly, "An Yuxuan, have you slept?"

"No ......." An Yuxuan closed her eyes impatiently.

"May I come up?"

"Yes..." An Yuxuan opened her eyes vigilantly.

Jian Jue walked over, looked at the door and asked, "Where did you feel it tonight?"

An Yuxuan stepped forward and sat up, she said "um", and said: "A lotus pond at the back of a very room, someone is guiding me over, I feel okay, not strong enough."

"The lotus pond... I'll go see tomorrow, I hope you don't sometimes feel something at night and go out by yourself, so why can't we find you for a while? Well?. ”

"It seems that I am not a qualified psychic, but I can only realize myself at a certain moment." An Yuxuan also sighed, "But the little girl's voice is the one that Xu Fenglin heard during the day, and I probably heard it too." It sounds like a little maid in the house, and I don't know why she led me there. ”

"I said I'll see it tomorrow, you have a good rest, your ability is still a little dangerous, maybe when, you'll be possessed alone." Some ghosts are good, some are not. Jian Jue told An Yuxuan calmly without scruples.

Xu Fenglin was downstairs, and Tao Ran was on the side. Xu Fenglin held a yellowed photo in a label bag in his hand, and he covered most of it with his hands, leaving only a few pictures of people for Tao Ran to see. A family group photo, standing at the front is indeed a little girl, behind her is an old grandfather with his hands on her shoulders.

Tao Ran was surprised: "Where did this photo come from?" ”

"Thanks to the photo studio for leaving the sample. I don't know if the people of the Xu family forgot to take this one, or if they just didn't want this one. The descendants of the owner of the photo studio sent it to the research association. ”

"Why are you covering the others?" As soon as Tao Ran wanted to take Xu Fenglin's hand away, he was knocked out by Xu Fenglin.

In the attic, Jian decided to show An Yuxuan the previous newspaper news, and the story section wrote the legend of the Xu family, the whole family was killed by the young grandmother and eaten by bandits.

Jian Jue's eyes were extremely serious, and he looked at An Yuxuan with a frown: "To be honest, your ability seems to me to be incredible."

"Alas, I want you to compliment." An Yuxuan also did not mean to explain the principle of ability.

However, Jian Jue smiled slightly and asked her, "If you walk around alone, are you really not afraid at all?"

"I'm afraid, but it's okay, I'm not in any danger." An Yuxuan is also very honest, yes, she can distinguish the good and bad of spirits.

An Yuxuan looked left and right, and said solemnly, "No matter how scary the ghost is, can someone be scary?" I read that in extracurricular reading, a writer wrote that ghosts are nothing more than scaring people, making your scalp tingle and your hair stand up. People want your life! His theories are also strangely interesting to watch, and the writer doesn't think that ghosts will kill you. ”

Jian Jue was still thinking about something, but An Yuxuan looked at it with a smile, scratching her head embarrassedly, "If a ghost is more harmful than a person," he said softly, "It's not as good as a person." ”

"What?" An Yuxuan didn't hear clearly.

"I said, it's time for you to go to bed, what time is it?"

An Yuxuan lay down and covered her head with a quilt, "Let's go, let's go, don't stay in the girl's boudoir."

Jian Jue turned around and went downstairs.

When An Yuxuan thought of the eldest young master, she thought of Xu Fenglin, Xu Fenglin was safer than her and Jian Jue, did they all think that he was the eldest young master and did not dare to harm him.

Jian Jue, who was slowly carrying the downstairs at his feet, thought to himself, if they regarded Xu Fenglin as the eldest young master, then Xu Fenglin would be in danger...

The next day, while the others went to hang out in the town down the hill, Jian Jue was still sitting in an old teahouse, listening to the gossip of passers-by. Some people in this town know the former people of the Xu family, because many people's grandfathers or grandmothers have worked for the Xu family for a short time or a long time. When they returned to the teahouse, Xu Fenglin told Jian Jue those stories, which he had heard from an old man when the mansion was empty and no one bought it.

The old man in the town said that in the past, before the revolution, there were big families in the town. At that time, the family was surnamed Hu, and they made a fortune in business, and their sons and grandchildren were studying, which was considered a scholarly family. But in the generation of Young Master Xu Xuankang, there was a wicked mother-in-law, who colluded with bandits, killed more than a dozen people in the Xu family, and ate people in the years of famine.

The old man didn't know if he couldn't remember clearly or remembered too clearly, but he was sure that when they were young, they knew that after the death of the evil mother-in-law, they still occupied the Xu family, and at night Wang Lezi of Xialong Village went to the old house left by the Xu family to steal things, didn't he say that he saw a ghost and his leg was broken? Can't be wrong! The old man stretched out two fingers and swore to heaven.

He, Wang Leper, but I saw with my own eyes that the wicked woman was still driving people out of that house viciously!

Every time the old man finished speaking, he looked nervously towards the mountain, stared at the direction of the old house, and did not speak, but he would give people instructions: That's it! She still won't disperse! When she dies, she will occupy everything in the Xu family!

On a rainy day, when the eaves were ticking and falling into the water, a young man came in the rain.

The old man saw him coming from the corner of the alley, and he suddenly murmured, "Isn't it Young Master Xuanyan?" The rest of the people laughed openly, "Old Man Yu, if it's really Young Master Xuanyan, then it's a ghost!" ”

The young man said that his surname was Xu Fenglin, and he came to see the house with his friends. This house is on the mountain, and the town below the mountain is a small town, and the town is also very remote, so the old house association has not taken care of it.

Lu Qian and them brought the teacher here, took pictures of the pictures, recorded the records, and took away some furniture. Lu Qian was very interested in the old building, so he ordered some new furniture in the town, pure wood, and shipped it to the house. I found a locksmith, opened the lock of the Xu family, and put a new lock on the gate, but the key was handed over to the locksmith with confidence.

"What's this, the stuff has been shipped to Beijing. There's nothing to take, you take it for me, and I'll only come back once in a while—okay? That's thankful. Xu Fenglin has a nice Beijing accent, he speaks very humbly, and a sentence always ends with a thank you.

He found some workers to go up the mountain to clean up the old house, and he said that the main thing was to vacate the yard. Later, he planted a lot of flowers and plants in the yard, all kinds of flowers, chrysanthemums in autumn, plums in winter, small white flowers, and pink lotus, all in the soil or wet mud, blooming or receiving tender buds. He doesn't come often, so he doesn't use flower pots.

The worker knows that others are easy-going and loves to joke with him. Xu Fenglin sometimes couldn't answer, and he was even more shy when he smiled.

Sure enough, people can only see Xu Fenglin coming in autumn and winter and the season, and at that time he will help Lu Qian come to see the house.

Xu Fenglin finally smiled and told them a secret, a crazy old man said that he was very similar to the previous young master Xu Xuanyan. Tao Ran smiled and couldn't help himself, Jian Jue and An Yuxuan smiled reluctantly.

At the mouth of the alley, there are often women wearing white flowers on a blue background sitting together, you sew your clothes, I pick my vegetables, but it is a family matter.

"Your child's grades are good, and the teachers praise them!"

"My family can't do that, and I will definitely die of my father and me in the future. My daughter is good, sensible and smart, if I don't let it, I want another one. ”

As they spoke, the stagnant water on the stone road suddenly circled and dotted, and they looked up, and the sky was overcast, as if their faces were darkened with a temper.

For some reason, it rained, and the rain swept away the parents' inner and changed it to the memories of Xu Fenglin coming to the town in the rain and fog. The woman chatted and chatted, and talked about the affairs of the Xu family in the past.

"When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say, you know, my grandmother didn't work as a long-term worker for the Xu family at that time. They had seen the one from the Xu family, named Yang March. is a singer, fortune telling, she and the eldest young master are good or what, marry in and be happy. ”

The eldest woman raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, put down the beans in her hand, and said, "Where do you know?" Just listen to what others say. I was a girl... Fifty years ago! But I've been to Xu's house. ”

The younger one suddenly asked, "Then the second aunt, what did you really see?"

At that time, the Xu family's compound was deserted, where did anyone go? The old woman remembered wrongly, it was not her who had been to the Xu family, but another crazy woman.

She was rescued, and the production team said that she was driven crazy by the landlord, and now a new era has come. The old man knew in his heart that the Xu family belonged to the category of educated squires. But no one dared to say that in those days, it was common to beat landlords, and the warm and concentrated solidarity forced many people to shut up.

The old woman was a teenager at the time, and she was still a girl with single braids, and out of curiosity, she went to see the crazy woman who was locked up in the house. When the madwoman saw someone coming, she happily leaned on the window to look at her, stared at her blood-red eyes, and said loudly: "The old lady rewards you!" Eat it to live forever! Immortality, hee-hee-hee-....... The madwoman threw her something, and the old woman took it, and the flesh was blurred, and the stench of blood pierced her nose, and the old woman guessed, screaming, and ran away.

After some time, the madwoman finally bites herself to death.

Thinking of the scene at that time, the old woman stopped talking to people and kept muttering Amitabha.

The other women's hearts were knotted, for the Xu family, for the story of the old man... They don't want to talk about it again.
