Raise the corpse coffin
As soon as my question came out, everyone was silent, and no one knew why. [Ran^Text^Library] []. []. [com]·· Small·Say·· First and foremost
"I think everyone should hurry up and go to the village to have a look, don't you know if you find that person? What's the use of bothering on fantasy here? Xiaoyu said.
So, under the leadership of Uncle Kong, we hurried along the trail to the village.
When we came to the entrance of the village, we saw two big wells at the entrance of the village at first sight, but these two big wells look a little different, the two big wells are next to each other, the distance is also one or two meters wide, the two wells are one big and one small, the diameter of the big well is about more than two meters wide, the diameter of the small well is about one meter wide, the shape of the wellhead of the big well is even more unique, a huge dragon head chiseled with bluestone, the dragon's mouth is wide open, mighty, from the dragon's eyes to the dragon's beard and the scales of the dragon's neck are carved lifelike, And the direction of this dragon head is towards the well next to it, the dragon's mouth is just located in the square of the mouth of the small well, this unique shape I have never seen before, Uncle Kong looked at these two wells and frowned.
"Behold, this dragon's mouth is wet! It's like someone has just fetched water from a well! Zhang Dali pointed to the dragon head and said.
We just came over to take a closer look, it was really like this, the dragon's mouth is indeed wet, I carefully looked at the structure of this big well, it turned out that the well water of this well will flow through the dragon's head after being pressed, and now this dragon's mouth is still dripping with water droplets, it seems that someone has indeed come here not long ago to draw water.
Although the shape of this well is unique, but we don't think much about it at this time, because in the country, where there is generally water, the people have to build the Dragon King Temple and the like to suppress it, so that the wind and rain are smooth, so this well to build a faucet is at most unique in shape, but it is not enough to be strange.
We hurriedly walked towards the village, came to the village only to find that the countryside here is completely different from the rural areas in the north, most of the houses in the rural areas in the north are built with soil and sand, and the roads in the village are all dirt roads, and this village, almost all the houses and roads in the village are all built of big bluestone, the road is spacious and neat, simple but solemn, but the stone cracks of the big bluestone paving are full of weeds, the door of every house is closed, the courtyard door has already fallen off the patent leather, and the door has accumulated a thick layer of dust. These signs are enough to show that the village has been abandoned for a long time. And the people of this village seem to like to plant a few trees at the door, these trees do not know when they were planted, and the branches that have long grown are lush and lush, completely blocking the sun overhead, making people feel that there is a sense of shade and shade in the alleys of this village.
"This ...... The people of this village ...... Where have they gone? Wu Qian asked as she walked as she looked at the closed doors of the houses on both sides.
"Didn't you listen to the little brother who drove the car, this village has long been abandoned, and it must have been uninhabited for more than ten years or even decades!" Zhang Dali said as he walked.
It took seven or eight minutes for us to finish an alley, and I counted roughly, and there were about twenty or thirty houses living in this alley, none of which had their doors open, and there was not a single living creature found along the way, and the whole village seemed to be asleep.
"Let's go...... Let's go find the man on the roof! Uncle Kong proposed.
So we hurried towards the northwest of the village, for we had seen the man standing on a white roof in the northwest of the village.
As soon as she turned a corner out of the alley, the sharp-eyed Wu Qian sent out the white-roofed house, "Look, there!" Wu Qian pointed ahead and said.
We hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, two hundred meters away from us, a house that looked like a temple appeared in front of us, and the roof of the house was snow-white, as if it had fallen a layer of snow, and the surrounding cyan roof was particularly dazzling.
After seeing the white-roofed house, a few of us hurriedly ran over with our luggage on our backs, thinking to see if we could find the person just now.
However, when we came to the house, we found that the neighborhood was already empty, and the man did not know where the man had gone, and I took a closer look at the solemn house before me, and the door was closed, and the door was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the iron doorknob was rusty, and when I looked up at the roof again, it turned out that the roof was covered with white tiles, so that from a distance it looked like the roof was snow-white. At this time, I noticed that there was a plaque hanging on the two doors of this house, and the patent leather of the plaque had already fallen off, but I could still vaguely see the traces of four big characters, "Li Family Ancestral Hall".
"You see, it's the 'Li Family Ancestral Hall', it seems that we are really in the right place, this village should be the Muzi Village left by Li Zicheng back then!" I excitedly pointed to the plaque.
"The door of the ancestral hall doesn't seem to be locked, let's go in and take a look, the ancestral hall is generally a place for the clan tablet, if this is really the village left by Li Zicheng, then Li Zicheng as the founder of this village, this ancestral hall will definitely put his tablet or portrait or something inside!" Zhang Dali suggested.
Uncle Kong nodded when he heard this, and decided to go in to have a look, but before entering the ancestral hall, Uncle Kong turned his head and said to everyone, "We first came here, we are not familiar with the place, although this place has long been deserted, but this ancestral hall was once the place where the ancestors of the Li family were supplied, as the saying goes, there are gods in the first three feet of the head, everyone should pay attention later, don't have any impolite or disrespectful behavior, so as not to cause trouble!" ”
"What's the trouble! Uncle Kong...... Why do you talk about gods and ghosts, what age are they, and you still talk about these superstitions! Wu Qian seemed to be very disdainful of Uncle Kong's words.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Kong's face changed, and he said to Wu Qian in righteous words, "I didn't scare you!" ”
Wu Qian was yelled at by Uncle Kong, a little unhappy, lowered her head and stopped talking.
I followed Uncle Kong slowly up the stairs to the door, the thick layer of dust on the door and the complete spider between the two doors showed that no one had opened this door for a long time.
After hesitating for a moment, Uncle Kong stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the two doors.
When the door opened, there was a strange creaking sound, and the dust immediately flew up, and we hurriedly covered our noses and mouths and took a few steps back, and only after the dust cleared away did we step into this ancestral hall.
Come to one of the ancestral halls, the ancestral hall is scattered with some wooden planks and other sundries, the whole ancestral hall is long, more than ten meters long, but only more than two meters wide, it seems very narrow, the wall facing the gate has set up four layers of shelves, the shelves have long been covered with dust, I guess this should be the place of the ancestors of the supplier, but the shelf is empty, not a tablet is seen.
"Look, there's one left here!" , Zhang Dali shouted as he pointed to a table under the shelf.
When I looked down, I saw several ceramic incense burners scattered on the table, and there was a wooden sign next to the incense burner.
Uncle Kong picked up the tablet and wiped the dust off the tablet with his hand, I leaned over to take a look, the rank was written with the spirit of Li's Yue'e, and there were two lines of small characters next to it, born in the 28th year of Guangxu Bingyinyue, died in the 13th year of the Republic of China. It seems that this is the tablet of a person named Li Yue'e, but for some reason, the spiritual tablets of other clansmen have been taken away, and her tablet has been left here.
"Born in the 28th year of Guangxu and died in the 13th year of the Republic of China, so this person named Li Yue'e only lived for 22 years and died so young? Uncle Kong...... Celebration ...... Do you still remember the letter from Daoist Ling Xuzi, it seems that Daoist Ling Xuzi traveled here in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, do you think this girl will be ......" Xiaoyu stared at the tablet and said suspiciously.
Hearing this, Uncle Kong and I looked at Xiaoyu together, I really couldn't think of Xiaoyu if she didn't say this, but when she mentioned it, I really wondered if Xiaoyu's speculation was true, whether this girl was also killed by the thing recorded in Ling Xuzi's letter, otherwise why did she die at the age of twenty-two, and it happened to be the year when she was haunted in the village.
Uncle Kong looked at Xiaoyu and was stunned for a while, did not answer Xiaoyu, but turned his head and put the spirit seat on the shelf safely, and then bowed to the spirit seat. I think it may be because in the ancestral hall, Uncle Kong is inconvenient to say anything.
Uncle Kong bowed, I took a closer look at this ancestral hall, because since I entered this ancestral hall, I always felt that there was something strange in this ancestral hall, as if something was dangling in the afterglow of my eyes, but I looked around but didn't find anything moving in the ancestral hall, until finally, I took a step or two back, and I finally found an abnormality!! I hurriedly looked up at the top of my head, only to see the beams of the roof hanging side by side with three thumb-thick hemp ropes, it was the rope hanging there and shaking, and the three ropes, the tail end of each rope was circled, the size was just about the same as a person's head, like a rope used to hang, after seeing this scene, I suddenly felt a cold back, and the hairs on my whole body stood up, because I thought of one thing, the information I found in the hotel that day, it seems that there is a piece of saying that Three students from a medical university in Nanjing came to Muzi Village to explore, but when they were discovered, they all committed suicide by hanging themselves from a beam in the village.
At this time, Zhang Dali noticed that I had been staring at the roof, so he asked, "Qingnian, what are you looking at with your neck up?" ”
I pointed to the three swaying ropes above my head.
The others also looked up at the top of their heads.
"How do I feel...... This rope is knotted...... It looks like a hanging on TV......" Wu Qian looked at the rope and said.
"Don't talk nonsense in the ancestral hall!" Uncle Kong hurriedly stopped it.
Wu Qian immediately covered her mouth when she heard this.
But judging from the expressions of everyone staring at the three swaying ropes, I guess everyone is furious in their hearts at this time, because it is no wonder that Wu Qian said that whoever sees such three ropes with loops hanging here will think that this is used for hanging.
And in my heart, at this time, I am guilty of another confusion, why these three ropes keep swaying here, as if there are three invisible people hanging there and swaying, now there is no wind in the village at all, there is no such thing as the wind blowing the rope swaying, and when Uncle Kong pushed the door open just now, it was also carefully opened, and the distance between the door and the rope is so far, it is impossible that the wind brought in the moment the door opened blew the rope. These three ropes hung there and shook and swayed, shaking people's hearts......
Uncle Kong stared at the rope for a while and then lowered his head, I looked at Uncle Kong, Uncle Kong's face was full of doubts, I knew that Uncle Kong must have the same thoughts as me now, but Uncle Kong did not say anything about this matter.
At this moment, Wu Qian pointed to the end of the room and shouted, "Look, there's another door there!" ”
Hearing this, we hurriedly diverted our attention from the rope and looked in the direction that Wu Qian was pointing, and sure enough, there was a wooden door at the far end of the room, but this wooden door happened to be built on the wall where the tablet was erected, so we didn't find that there was another door in the hall after entering the door just now.
I said that the length and width of this ancestral hall are a little asymmetrical, and it turns out that there is an inner hall.
We followed Uncle Kong towards the wooden door that stepped on the wooden planks on the ground, and came to the door only to find that this was a single door, the door was hung with iron chains, but the door was not locked, Uncle Kong slowly pushed open the door, because this room belongs to the hall room, so it was darker, and the scene in the room after the door was opened surprised us, and there were two blood-red coffins in the house!! Seeing this scene, I almost took a few steps back, Wu Qian couldn't help but scream in horror "Ah", and hurriedly hid behind me.
The coffins were intimidating, and what was even more frightening was that these two coffins were blood-red, and the red paint on the faces was brightly dripping, and the two coffins looked wet as if they had just been painted with red paint, but there was no smell of paint in the room, looking at the dilapidated scene in the ancestral hall and the thick layer of dust on the ground, and then looking at these two brand-new coffins, it seemed a little out of place, and several of us were stunned there......
Several of us were too scared to go into the house, only Uncle Kong hesitated for a while and walked in, and when I saw Uncle Kong walking in, I followed in, Zhang Dali also followed, Wu Qian and Xiaoyu were so frightened that they stood next to each other outside the door and didn't dare to come in.
After entering the house, I took a closer look at the two big red coffins side by side, the coffin body was transparent and red, although the room was dim, but the coffin lid was still shiny, the whole coffin lid was as bright as a layer of water droplets sprinkled on the red stone, Uncle Kong walked around the two coffins, and his brows were furrowed more and more tightly.
"Uncle Kong...... This...... How could there be two new coffins here......" I asked with the courage to ask.
Uncle Kong frowned, stared at the two coffins tightly and said, "This is not a new coffin, this coffin is at least seventy or eighty years old......
"What...... It's been seventy or eighty years...... But the coffin looked wet, as if it had just been painted... You say it's three or five days, and I still believe it... How could it be seventy or eighty years......" I said in disbelief.
"You don't understand, the reason why this coffin is spotless, and it always looks like a layer of mist is because it's not an ordinary coffin!" Uncle Kong said and squatted down again to look at the two coffins.
"It's not your average coffin...... That's ......," Zhang Dali asked, puzzled.
At this time, Uncle Kong stood up, looked at us with a serious face and said, "These are two!! ”
