Chapter 111: Dangerous Building
I'm afraid I'm the only one who's seen a pen moving back and forth on the wall under the dim streetlight, but no one is manipulating the pen.
To say that I am not afraid is absolutely deceitful, I have never experienced such a strange thing, even if I saw the ghost of the stone before, it is not as weird as it is now.
Soon I was in the vicinity of this branch, and I could see that this pen was drawing a very esoteric pattern, and it was by no means as simple as random graffiti.
If there is a fat man or Huang Tian, maybe they have a way, but I have no choice but to look at it like this.
I never expected that we had laid a net in the orphanage, and people no longer started in the orphanage, but changed the place, and the pattern in the kindergarten was completely different from this, but this technique was definitely the same person's handwriting.
Soon, the nose was almost finished, I no longer hesitated, stepped forward and grabbed the pen directly in my hand, as soon as I started I felt a chill through the bones, so I couldn't help but shiver, this pen seemed to be carved with ice.
And there is a mysterious power that controls this pen and drives my hand to stubbornly complete the last few strokes, Ran Shou, this pen suddenly broke away from my hand and flew towards the courtyard.
Damn, what's going on? Is a pen fine? I chased after it, leaving all my fears behind.
At this time, if anyone sees this scene, Fei will be shocked, and a stupid big man is running frantically chasing a pen.
Soon, I chased down the abandoned and dilapidated house money that I had seen the homeless man who ate the fat goose raw, and the pen swooped down the broken window into the abandoned building.
I hesitated for a moment, and called the fat man, saying that I had seen the pen, and it was estimated that this dangerous building was the old nest, and it was necessary to go in and have a look.
The fat man's answer was, you stay where you are. Let's go over immediately, since the dangerous building is the lair of the mysterious person, then it is very likely that he will be ambushed inside, and there are many people to take care of it, don't be overshadowed by others.
What the fat man said also made sense, I stood in front of the broken window while smoking and waiting for the arrival of Huang Tian, the location of this dangerous building is quite subtle, between the two street lamps, it can be illuminated, but the light is not strong.
Twenty minutes later. The fat man and Huang Tian came over extensively, because Qin Yue didn't know any magic tricks, and even if she came, she would drag the oil bottle, and she had to assign someone to take care of her, so she didn't let her follow.
"Good fellow, this is a Jedi! No wonder the man chose this place as his lair, if I'm not mistaken, there must be a basement in this building, and the man must have hidden in this basement during the day. I will only come out in the evening. ”
Huang Tian inspected the dilapidated building waiting for demolition and confidently expressed his judgment to us.
"It's too early to say anything, Lao Tzu has brought all the previous tomb robbers, let's divide them. Although it is only a building, it seems to me that it is most likely a ferry. ”
The fat man took down three bulging backpacks from the car and handed one to each of us. I took it and weighed it, and it was really heavy, about twenty or thirty kilograms. I asked the fat man what it was.
The fat man smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just some food, high-energy food and some tools for self-defense, and you'll know when you use it." ”
I excitedly put my backpack on my back, took a wolf-eyed flashlight handed over by the fat man, and asked him, "Will there be a Luoyang shovel, a King Kong umbrella, or a black donkey's hooves or something like that?" ”
The fat man looked at me and said, "What do you think?" We didn't really go to rob the tomb, this building is very large, and it's not so easy to find it, and besides, we may go underground, so I'm so prepared, it's not better than when we used it, right? ”
I naturally have no opinion on the fat man saying this, but I am a little worried about Qin Yue, is she alone in the hotel, if the other party uses the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, she will be in danger.
After I said this concern, Huang Tian smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this, don't underestimate Qin Yue, if she is really mad, it is estimated that the three of us together are not one." ”
Huang Tian's words are a little confusing to me? I don't think there's anything special about Qin Yue? Besides, we can be considered two people now, can't she hide something from me?
When Huang Tian asked again, he was silent, he didn't say anything, he just urged me to go in quickly, I had no choice but to go in first.
The antiquity of this building is beyond my memory, I don't know what era it was built, this city used to be a city where the great powers divided the concessions, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is the territory of foreigners, look at the antiquity of this building, maybe it was left at that time, a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western flavor.
We didn't go out of the door, the fat man opened the window with a fist, the dust was flying, and he was the first to get into it with a flashlight, and Huang Tian and I also got into the room one after another.
After entering the room, I shone it with a flashlight, and found that it was dark and damp, the weather in the south itself was very humid and cold, I don't know how many years no one had come in, it was covered with dust and cobwebs, and it looked desolate and dilapidated.
"You said that the pen entered this building, do you see where it went?"
The fat man's words made me can't help but give him a blank look, isn't this? What time is it? It's not easy to see the pen enter this building in the middle of the night, when I'm sharp-eyed?
After asking, the fat man also knew that his question was unreliable, scratched his head and said: "Then we only have one room to find, pay attention to it, you must be served in a pot." ”
As he spoke, the fat man began to search, the first floor was actually nothing, it looked like it should be a library, but there were no books in it.
Buildings like libraries are generally divided into an office and shelves for various books, but now they have been abandoned for I don't know how many years, and there are no bookshelves, only a few large pillars, which looks extraordinarily empty.
The light of the wolf's eye flashlight is very strong, it can shine far away, and soon we checked the first floor, and found nothing, the ground is very clean, not even dust.
Wait a minute. Dust, how can the ground be free of dust? I don't know how long no one has come in such a dangerous building, and the windows are also broken, so it should definitely not be free of dust.
I told the fat man about my discovery, and the fat man sneered, "I found out a long time ago, otherwise you think I would be wasting my time here?" Let's go and take a look inside the office. ”
I was speechless for a while, these two guys are so evil, they have already seen it but don't say it, take me for a stupid boy?
But I'm not in the mood to talk to them at this time. Then I went into the office, and I still didn't find anything in the office, what could be in such a dilapidated room? Even the rats have to be moved.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look."
The fat man waved the flashlight he said, exited the office and walked towards the staircase, Huang Tian and I naturally followed, not to mention this kind of ancient building, the staircase is not broken, and it can still be used.
But. After all, it was a dangerous building, and this was the darkest hour of the night, and the surroundings were as dark as ink, and only a little range of flashlight could be seen. Behind him is endless darkness.
The stairs are not as strong as they used to be, and the crunching sound of stepping on them makes people worry about whether they will step through it directly and fall down again.
The situation on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor. Still didn't find anything, and after a turn, the fat man led us directly to the top floor.
The top floor is really just an attic. The space inside was limited, but to our surprise, there was still a large pillar in the attic that jutted into the roof.
I found a place to sit down and said, "Fatty, didn't you say that this house is a ferry?" So where is the cockpit? Where are the captain and first mate and second mate? Where are the sailors? ”
The fat man glared at me and said, "The ferry boat I am talking about is not the ferry boat in the rivers, lakes and seas that we often say, but the ferry boat on the Lechuan River in the underworld. ”
I'm far away, I haven't heard of it, what is the ferryman in the underworld?
The fat man explained to me that after a person dies, the ghost envoy will walk the soul of the person on the Huangquan Road, and then look back on the Wangxiang Tower, and after passing the Wangxiang Tower, he will enter the underworld and accept the judgment of the king of Hades.
After being sinned, cross the Lechuan River, there is a bridge on the Lechuan River, called Nai He Bridge, there is Meng Po selling soup at the head of the bridge, and after drinking Meng Po soup, I forget the things in my previous life, waiting to be reincarnated, or to be a person or do something else.
Of course, there are also some people who have a lot of karma and can't cross the Nai He Bridge, since they can't cross the Nai He Bridge, but these people also want to be reincarnated, so they can only find another way.
If there is demand, there is a market, this is the law of the market, it is applicable in the yang, and it is also applicable in the underworld, some people want to cross the river, and naturally some people will find a way to make a fortune on it, that is, to get a boat and ferry people to the past.
No matter what kind of ghost it is, as long as you fall into it, it will be over, so those who are not qualified to cross the bridge can only choose the ferry, and this house is the legendary ferry, which is for the dead.
I really figured it out a little bit when the fat man said this, so I asked the fat man, what should we do next? I saw the pen enter this building with my own eyes, and I can't come in with a lot of fanfare, and then just slip out without it, right?
The fat man pondered for a while and said: "No, look at this pillar, I have already noticed it, from the first floor, all the way to the top floor, this pillar is in the same place, and what can such a big pillar do, there is more than enough person to hide in it......"
I interrupted him and said, "Do you suspect that this pillar is a cat? Is it hollow? ”
The fat man nodded: "That's right, and we're busy in vain, the mechanism that opened must be on the first floor, go, go back to the first floor." ”
Huang Tian and I glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly, this meow is the same as a murderous house adventure, but I really saw that pen flew in, there is no doubt about it, I dare to vouch with my head.
Back on the first floor again, it was already dark, and the fat man took out a telescopic stick from his backpack, shook it off, and tapped it on the ground a little bit.
He almost knocked on the ground in the entire hall, and found no trace of the basement, and the fat man frowned and said, "It's strange, could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?" This house doesn't have a basement at all? But that's not possible, is it? ”
"I don't think it's useful for us to do such a blind inspection, so we don't go out and ask the people nearby if there is anything unusual in the house, and then make a plan."
Huang Tian's words won my heart, and I also felt that such a blind search was meaningless, anyway, it was undoubtedly that the pen got into this window, and it didn't dare to come out during the day, so let's understand the situation and make a detailed plan.
When the fat man saw that we both insisted on investigating and coming again, he stopped insisting and climbed out of the window and into the street.
At this time, there were already stalls set up nearby to buy breakfast, and the fragrance wafted along the majesty, and my index finger suddenly moved.
Although I have money now, I still want to eat some snacks from roadside stalls, which have a taste that is not found in big restaurants, and it is very close to the local atmosphere.
I took the fat man and Huang Tian to a pancake stall that I entered, asked for three egg cakes and eight-treasure porridge, and chatted with the stall owner while eating and drinking.
The stall owner is about 60 years old, with gray hair, but he is in good spirits, and if it were not for his skillful skills, he would look like a retired cadre at first glance.
The old man was very talkative, so we asked for a few more pancakes, and then asked him about the dangerous building, but I didn't expect this question to really make us ask something.
According to the old man, this building was left over from the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, when there were many concessions, and in addition to an orphanage built by Paul, there was also a foreigner who built this three-story building, which was said to be a library at that time.
Libraries built by foreigners are mostly foreign classics, as well as religious books such as the Bible, but the building did not go smoothly at the beginning because it was originally a temple, and the temple was later demolished to build the library.
I heard many older generations say that the history of that temple has long been unexaminable, and I don't know what era it was built, but one thing is certain, this temple is not simple, there is a lot of space under the temple, as if it is an underground palace.
Hearing this, the fat man and Huang Tian couldn't help but snort, it turned out that this was the case, so the pen entered the underground space, as long as he found the entrance, he would definitely be able to find that person, no matter how tightly he hid it, it was useless.
"Old man, since there is such a legend, has no one explored it for so many years? After all, if there is anything, it is also the property of us Chinese. ”
"Why hasn't anyone investigated? Since I learned the news, countless people have come to investigate, but in the end there is no gain, including I once went in because of curiosity, almost couldn't get out, and I haven't been in since then, I'm afraid! ”
Talking about his past experience, a frightened expression appeared on the stall owner's face, as if he had experienced something that he would never forget.
We can't help but be curious, we just came out of it, although the scene is quite terrifying, but as long as we are not afraid, it is fine, what has he experienced? (To be continued......)
