Chapter 70: The Haunted House
What does it take for a house to be called a haunted house?
First of all, it is necessary to have a long history, but given that most of the ancient houses with a long history exist like antiquities, it is impossible to organize the masses to go inside and make a fool of themselves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so this one can be changed to a century-old house, simply put, old.
Then, there must be a certain degree of damage, broken walls and tiles or something is a must, of course, this is not the point, the point is that although it is broken, but it must be broken and at least can still live in it (there are tiles to cover the head). Also, if there is no roof, it probably won't be a house, let alone a haunted house. In layman's terms, it is broken.
Finally, and most importantly, it is both colloquial and easy to understand, and there are ghosts.
Anyway, Gu Feng, a guy who lives in a prosperous, strong, democratic, and civilized modern society, has never seen any haunted houses -- these are all great achievements of modernization, and all dangerous buildings and dilapidated buildings have been efficiently rebuilt and have achieved complete success.
If you really want to say it, the most haunted house within a radius of hundreds of miles from his house is probably his house......
Although he had no experience in exploring haunted houses since he was born, even if he was blind, he should have seen that the building in front of him was very problematic, and a yin aura as strong as the winter monsoon hit the faΓ§ade, making him almost tremble.
The shape of the whole haunted house is basically in line with the first and second points before, Japanese style architecture, and it is surrounded by a very high wall, and the gate was originally a very imposing iron gate, but now it has become a veritable iron lump lying on the ground, losing its original role.
"Speaking of which, the temperature seems to have dropped a little, let's hurry inside, it's not good if we get cold outside, at least there is a wall inside to block the wind."
Yamato Aikawa, as the leader of the team, made a suggestion that seemed reasonable from the perspective of a normal person. So the other four people except Gu Feng nodded their heads in agreement.
"That's right."
It's a hammer! Are you in such a hurry to go in and find death? I'm not lying to you, it's probably colder inside than outside. Very unsociable, Gu Feng nodded while complaining in his heart with a loveless expression, can I go home?
No matter what this guy thinks in his heart, since everyone else has stepped forward and walked into the haunted house, he naturally can't be left behind. However, as soon as they stepped through the door, the guys stopped.
"I thought it was a Japanese-style building, but why is there a wall at the entrance? If it were a Japanese-style building, it wouldn't have been. β
It was Yamato Aikawa who said this.
In front of him, there was a broken wall with a painting style similar to the wall, the left and right spans were slightly wider than the doorway, and the height was slightly lower than the wall, so Gu Feng and his party did not notice the existence of this wall when they observed the building from the side.
"It's a strange building, and it doesn't look like a Japanese style when you judge from the wall, after all, it's too simple, and the top of the wall should have an eaves decoration, and the entrance is too big. However, the strangest thing is that the wall you see after entering the entrance should be able to be built like this, but there is no such strange habit in Japanese architecture. β
Keiji Fujisaki pushed his glasses and looked at the wall and said thoughtfully.
"This is Xiao Wall."
Gu Feng, who had been silent, suddenly burst out, not because he wanted to solve the confusion of his teammates, but because he suddenly had an ominous premonition that these guys would stay here for a night if no one explained.
"Legend has it that it was built to let ghosts see their own shadows cast on the wall and scare them away, and in some places it seems to be called the Wailing Wall, and then gradually evolved into hanging a bronze mirror at the door, or a gossip mirror, simply put, a means to ward off evil spirits."
Under the curious gazes of his teammates, Gu Feng spit out the rest of the words.
"It's really surprising, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, Mr. Gu Feng." Izumi Bongtaro reacted first and praised.
"No, it's just some Chinese folk culture, and it's too much of an exaggeration to say that it's erudite."
Gu Feng waved his hand, and then said: "Compared to this, shouldn't we go inside, after all, we are here to explore." β
Then, he took the lead and walked around the wall towards the house, and the other teammates also followed the pace of the ancient style.
"According to Mr. Gu Feng, isn't this a Chinese-style building?" Keiji Fujisaki quickened his pace slightly, kept up with the ancient style, and walked on the side of the ancient style and asked.
"Not exactly, although the rust is already very serious, it can barely be judged from the style of the iron gate that it is European style, so it is better not to simply classify this building as a certain style."
Gu Feng replied very calmly, but his heart was not calm.
It's not good, these guys are all laymen, how about being a little nervous, since there is such a thing as Xiao Wall, it proves that something has definitely happened here, and the role of Xiao Wall is to ward off evil spirits rather than exorcise evil spirits, which means that something that caused something is likely to remain here.
You are so leisurely and wandering, you may not know when you will die.
After a while, Gu Feng, who was walking in front, stopped, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the scene in front of him, whether it was Fujisaki next to him or Aikawa and his party behind him, they were a little puzzled. Then, Aikawa and a few people stepped forward and came to Gu Feng's side, and then together with Fujisaki, they cast their eyes in the direction of Gu Feng's look.
There is the entrance to the house, the European-style carved wooden door, but the ancient style is not that, to be honest, it is really useless to look at this wooden door, except to make people suspect that the owner of the house is a freak, the ancient style is placed on both sides of the door full of cracked stone carvings.
"It's ...... Stone lions? I heard that it has the effect of warding off evil spirits? β
It was Rina Kuriyama who spoke, and judging from the fact that she could say the term stone lion, she still had a little more knowledge than her teammates. But......
Taking advantage of the fact that his teammates were not paying attention, Gu Feng pursed his lips.
Completely wrong, okay......
"Not entirely correct, the stone lion is just a symbol of auspiciousness, and does not have the effect of warding off evil spirits, not even the effect of warding off evil spirits, and it is the same nature as people who will post blessing words at the door for a long time. And ......"
As he spoke, Gu Feng moved to the side of one of the stone sculptures and motioned for his teammates to look at the stone sculpture's feet.
"This stone carving is more artistic, and the whole thing looks like a lion, but it is not a lion. You see, at its feet, the lion's feet must be claws, but this statue is not. β
Everyone looked in the direction indicated by the ancient wind, and sure enough, the foot of the statue was not a claw, but a hoof. At this time, Gu Feng continued.
"This is the Year Beast, unlike the stone lion, the Year Beast is a demon beast, and putting its statue in the mansion is not as simple as auspiciousness, but to suppress something."
"But what can be suppressed by a statue like this?" Aikawa Yamato patted the stone sculpture of the Nian Beast with his hand.
Karalala......
The statue that was already full of cracks jumped open quickly under the not-so-hard slap of Aikawa Yamato, and then the entire statue collapsed from head to tail, slid off the stone pedestal, and completely turned into rubble.
Yamato Aikawa: ......
Ancientry:......
Four others: ......
"What...... What's going on? Should...... Not yet...... It's an ominous sign, isn't it? Yamato Aikawa looked panicked.
ββ¦β¦ Should...... It can't be like this. Yoko Taitogawa seemed to be trying to comfort Aikawa, but her uncertain tone only made Aikawa feel worse.
Huh?! I'm surprised, you dare to come to the haunted house to make a fuss, are you really tired of being crooked?
Although thinking so, Gu Feng still comforted him: "Don't worry, that statue is just very ordinary because there are too many cracks before you can break it, it's not a sign, you see ......"
Gu Feng flew up and kicked on another statue on the spot, and the result was conceivable, the entire statue was kicked and shattered by him, and the gravel flew to the ground. Then, the guy Gu Feng stood firm and continued calmly:
"Actually, it feels pretty good......"
Teammates: ...... I feel like I'm being messed with by you, and there's no vibe at all.
Gu Feng tugged at the strap of his backpack, and then said to his teammates very calmly: "Let's go in quickly, after all, it is useless to waste time at the door." β
In principle, he hoped that these guys would not go in, but he was not confident that he would succeed in convincing them, so he could only simply hope that he would be able to solve the problem quickly.
ββ¦β¦ Good...... Good. β
Several people who were shocked by Gu Feng's actions just now replied to Gu Feng's proposal one after another.
After confirming that there was no objection, Gu Feng calmly pushed open the European-style wooden door.
"Babbling ......"
With such an unsettling sound, the wooden door was pushed open by Gu Feng, revealing the unfathomable darkness behind it, Gu Feng glanced inside, and then his gaze returned to Aikawa.
"Please lead the way, Mr. Aikawa."
Aikawa: This guy...... Aren't you going to use me as a shield......
