We looked inside from the door and found that the room was not very large, and there was no one inside, and the two lonely footprints in front of the Taishi chair looked very strange and unnatural, and in contrast to the thick dust around the footprints, those footprints were obviously left by the recent past.
We hesitated for a moment, but it was Ryazan who entered the door first, and then the rest of us followed into the house. Probably due to my psychological problems, the moment my foot stepped into the door, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in the whole room from the direction of the table where the tablets were arranged, which made people shudder.
On a moonlit night, the Taishi chair walked away looking for ghosts. Jiang Daolin's words made me a little puzzled, and I said in my heart that on a moonlit night, there would be something unclean in this room? If this is the case, then is there any danger in walking after the unclean? All this is unknown, and only our own experience can lead to a conclusion.
The first thing Liu Yi did when he entered the room was to carefully inspect the Taishi chair, and after studying it for a while, he asserted that there must have been people sitting on this Taishi chair recently, and, judging from the dust under the chair, there were still some slight traces of movement in this chair.
Soon, however, all of our attention was focused on the dense array of spirit cards against the wall. What is puzzling is that although there are many names on the tablet, the words on which the names are written are not the same, some are Hanzi, some look a little like the text of the Western Xia Kingdom, and some are similar to the words on the jade plaque that Bu Jin wore around his neck. The fonts are complex and simple, some fonts are as flat as Lishu, some fonts are as mellow as seal scripts, and some fonts are as square as italics, but what is really confusing is that as far as we can understand the words, all the names on the spirit tablets are all one person - Ba Ran.
"Baran?" I muttered the name and said to myself, "What a strange name." β
Old man Yuan snorted twice and said, "Indeed, the surname Ba is originally a small surname, and the name Ba Ran should sound like a very old name. β
Chen Bing and the others also turned around, and everyone waited for this old man Yuan to continue, but the old man Yuan looked at us with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Why are you all looking at me?" Do you really think the old man is a jack of all trades? At most, I know that the surname Daoba is a big surname belonging to the Tujia family, and the Tujia family is basically the descendants of the ancestors of the ancient Yongguo. β
Old man Yuan rarely showed some unconfident expression, but his words were enough for us to understand. That is to say, it is very likely that the Baran written on this rank is a descendant of the ancestors of the Guyong Kingdom, but the question is, why does this Baran appear so much on the spirit card?
It is natural for us to think that this Baran is most likely not a name, but a position or title, but, according to the interpretation of the context of the spirit card, this possibility is ruled out again, especially since it has been clearly written: "Ba Ran, the first patriarch of the Ba clan", "Ba Ran, the second patriarch of the Ba clan", ......
I immediately thought of what Jiang Daolin said, since I thought of one thing-immortality. So, I blurted out to Ryazan: "Could it be that this Baran is an immortal person?" β
Ryazan didn't speak, but Gao Peng on the side shook his head and said: "No, if he is really immortal, then there is no need to establish a spirit card, even if it is a spirit card, there is no need to add the title of the first patriarch and the second patriarch." β
As soon as Gao Peng's words fell, suddenly, we heard a gust of wind outside the door, and the old wooden door made a piercing "creak" sound, we looked back, but saw that the wooden door had been "slammed" shut, that is, at this time, we found that there was no window in this room, so as soon as the wooden door was closed, all of us immediately fell into a thick darkness.
Although nothing else strange happened around us, the sudden darkness still made our hearts tighten, and we hurriedly ran to the door to push the door.
I originally thought that the wooden door would be locked tightly, but to my surprise, the wooden door was easily pushed open by us, but this push of the door, we found that the sky outside had been black and oppressive for some time, and there were a few muffled thunders in the distance of the sky, the furious mountain wind roared desperately, the branches of the fir trees also swayed with their teeth and claws, and the air was filled with the smell of earthβthe prelude to the heavy rain.
"Looks like we're going to stay in this little mountain village tonight." Chen Bing said.
There was no objection to it, but I was personally somewhat reluctant to propose it.
"Holy! What the fuck is going on? Gao Peng's voice pulled our thoughts back into the room.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Gao Peng's face showed a look of horror, he pointed to the Taishi chair, and said tremblingly: "Feet, footprints...... Nope. β
"What?" Several of us were very surprised, and we all came forward to check, and at this time, we all gasped, only to see that the two footprints that were still clearly visible had completely disappeared at the moment the door was closed, and the original marks were covered with thick dust.
"W-How is this possible?" Chen Bing, who had always been calm, also couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
At first, Liu Yi, who was the first to find the footprints, couldn't believe what was in front of him, and he squatted down again to check the ground in front of the Taishi chair, and gradually, his face turned pale.
"No, no," Hong Yi shouted, "Not only those two footprints just now, but our footprints have also disappeared." β
After we listened to Hong Yi's words, we immediately lowered our heads to check the ground under our feet, and when we looked at it, we suddenly felt a chill down our backs, and an indescribable sense of fear spread across the eight of us in an instant.
A few of us were looking back and forth in the room just now, except for the ground in front of the Taishi's chair, almost all of the ground was trampled by our footprints just now, but just now, the room was filled with dust again, and the whole room was as if no one had ever entered except for where we were at the moment.
"There's dirt in this room." Old man Yuan put away his indecent tone and said seriously.
I believe that the eight people in this room, except for Gao Peng, are an exception, and the others, including myself, have experienced some big scenes or very strange things, but Old Man Yuan's "dirty thing" still makes our hearts tighten unconsciously.
At this time, Chen Bing and Hong Yi didn't raise their guns anymore, because they knew that since it was dirty, it must not be something physical, most likely it was some ghosts and the like, and submachine guns would not be useful here at all.
"Master Yuan, do you have any solution?" Chen Bing said.
Old Man Yuan sighed softly and said, "I came suddenly this time, I was almost kidnapped by a few of you, and I didn't bring any magic weapons, and I didn't have any way, but I did have a way to find that thing." β
"How?" Chen Bing asked.
"Then you don't need to ask, this is your own Dao, but it may be a little risky to use." Old man Yuan said.
"Risk?"
Old man Yuan nodded and said, "Obviously, we are now in a place like a small ancestral hall, if there is anything unclean here, it is most likely those ancestors who are enshrined here, and it may be that Ba Ran." However, the old man also said just now, I didn't bring other magic weapons, that dirty thing can now be said to give us a few of us a dismount, which means nothing more than to let us leave quickly, if we don't know what to do, we have to spend it here, it is very likely to provoke it, if I find it, and there is no way to subdue it, then we will be in big trouble. β
Old man Yuan said this, Chen Bing couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at me and Ryazan.
Seeing this, Ryazan said bluntly: "Captain Chen, what are you still hesitating about, we have finally come to this point, is it possible to retreat now?" After speaking, he turned his head to Old Man Yuan and said, "Old man, you can do it." β
Old man Yuan glanced at Chen Bing twice, Chen Bing nodded, and then Old Man Yuan said to Ryazan: "Young man, see and smile." Listening to the meaning of those words, it seems that he is still a little unconfident in his own Taoism. Ryazan only smiled slightly and didn't say much.
As soon as Old Man Yuan's voice fell, the whole person suddenly turned positive, and the whole person suddenly seemed to have changed a person, only to see his eyes wide open, first his feet on the ground out of a very awkward step, that felt a bit like the pace of our two people in the Northeast, I said in my heart Could it be that this is the so-called stepping on the seven stars?? At the end, the old man Yuan stood still with his feet, and that posture, I honestly, was a bit of a sissy, and it looked a little like the standing posture of Wing Chun from a distance. Then, Old Man Yuan pinched out a trick with both hands, and then muttered in a low voice, I don't know what he was muttering, and after a while, he suddenly whispered and shouted: "Now! β
Suddenly, all the people, including Old Man Yuan himself, didn't seem to expect that the moment his words fell, all the spirit cards on the table leaning against the wall were all upside down in an instant, and their rhythm and neatness were as neat as dominoes.
Everything that happened in front of him was obviously not what Old Man Yuan expected, he immediately put away his trick, stood in place, looked very guarded, and muttered to himself: "How come, how can it all fall?" β
