After the madman six said this, everyone suddenly thought of this, it is true, is this really a kind of formation of amphibious people? And this circular formation is centered on the courtyard, so what is there in the courtyard where we live?

For a while, none of us could answer this question.

Unconsciously, another day passed, the sun sank in the west, and it was dusk again, a gust of autumn wind blew, I couldn't help but shiver, the progress of the incident was really wonderful and mysterious, who would have thought that after eating a meal of wild vegetables, it would be "eaten" such a heavy discovery.

Seeing that it was getting late, we were about to leave for the head, but on the way back, we made an unexpected discovery.

On the way back, we had to climb a small hill, and when we reached the hillside, my cousin suddenly stopped, squinted his eyes, covered the afterglow of the setting sun with his hands, and looked carefully in the direction of the courtyard.

We were all confused by him, and we didn't know what he had discovered, so we all stopped, followed his example, and looked in the direction of the courtyard.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, Mr. Chen's yard became more and more quiet, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, so why didn't his cousin leave, what was he looking at? We all know that my cousin has studied feng shui for many years with a feng shui master, so he is very proficient in the art of feng shui, could it be that he saw something wrong from the perspective of feng shui?

"Cousin, what are you looking at? It's getting dark, let's go back quickly, if those amphibians come out, it's going to be troublesome. Sister Li saw that her cousin was still watching intently, and urged anxiously.

The cousin ignored Sister Li's words, as if she hadn't heard it, she still looked at the yard in the distance, her brows were tightly locked, and she fell into deep thought, Sister Li saw that her cousin ignored her, so she was even more anxious, raised her hand and gently touched her cousin, and then the cousin came back to his senses, and then hurriedly pointed to the yard and said, "Look, the yard we live in is a little weird." ”

Hearing him say this, we hurriedly took a closer look, and still found something strange, at this moment, Xiao Lei seemed to have found something, and said in surprise: "Cousin, did you say that the shadow of the yard is a little strange." ”

After Xiao Lei said this, we suddenly noticed that there was no shadow in the few rooms in the courtyard! At this time of sunset, it is said that several houses on that flat land, unobstructed, should cast shadows, but in fact there are none, this phenomenon is really too weird, what is going on?

After seeing this scene, the most shocked was Mr. Chen, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at his yard blankly, as if he didn't believe his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, what's going on? How can there be no shadow in these houses you live in? Have you found this in the past? Kenya asked.

When Kenya asked, Mr. Chen came back to his senses a little, and hurriedly said, "No, no, this is ...... What's going on, I've never encountered this kind of thing before, those houses obviously have shadows, in the summer, I often sit in the courtyard in the evening, when the sunset shines, there are shadows in several rooms, how can there be no now? ”

"I've heard people say that ghosts have no shadows, so are those houses also haunted houses?" Tian Liwen, who had not spoken, suddenly came out with such a sentence, hearing her say this, I shivered all over, those houses are haunted houses? We've been there for days.

Not only me, Sister Li, Hongmei, the female translator, Kenya and several other women, but also looked frightened, and Kenya couldn't help but scream.

Professor Shan seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "We are engaged in art history, but ancient architecture is also one of the related fields of our research.

That should not be history, but a legend.

Legend has it that this kind of house was invented by Zhuge Kongming, who invented it when he put down Meng Huo's rebellion. So why did Zhuge Liang invent this kind of house without shadows? What is the use of him inventing such a house?

I remember that at that time, the book said that in the Nanping area where Meng Shu grew up, there was a kind of witchcraft, which could turn people into 'living ghosts' after being done through guò, what is a 'living ghost'? As the name suggests, it is a 'living ghost', after a person becomes a 'living ghost', it is like being hypnotized, the expression is demented, the movements are stiff, and the aggression becomes very strong, a person in this state, even if he is slashed a few times on the body, he does not feel pain, what is even more incredible is that this kind of 'living ghost' has no shadow, that is, whether it is in the moonlight, the sun, or under the illumination of lights and fire, people in this state will not leave a shadow. ”

Everyone listened attentively to Professor Shan, thinking that this kind of historical legend was very interesting, but it didn't seem to be true, my cousin listened very seriously, although he was a historian, but he didn't seem to have heard of this historical anecdote, but it was no wonder that Professor Shan studied art history and architectural history, and he should know more about these two historical allusions than his cousin, so he listened to Professor Shan continue:

"At that time, Meng Shu used this kind of 'living ghost' to deal with the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang, and the Shu army suffered heavy losses, because once a person becomes this kind of living ghost, his combat effectiveness is particularly strong, and he is not afraid of slashing and chopping, and it is difficult to completely kill them in a short time.

This made Zhuge Liang very nerve-wracking, so Zhuge Liang spent ten days repeatedly studying the few 'living ghosts' he caught, coupled with the Yin and Yang techniques he had learned, and soon thought of a way to deal with it, he sent his henchmen to build dozens of houses around the garrison of Meng Huo's troops, and after the houses were repaired, he launched an attack on Meng Huo's army again, and Meng Huo hurriedly used his killer trick - sent his own team of 'living ghosts' to appear, but he didn't expect it to be, those' As soon as the living ghosts came across those houses, they were like hungry wolves seeing food, and they desperately drilled into the houses, and all the 'living ghosts' got into those houses.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang finally defeated those 'living ghosts', and Meng Shu did not have any capital to compete with the Shu army again, and was finally subdued by Zhuge Liang, and why those houses have such magical functions, no one knows, and this kind of house is very ordinary both in appearance and inside, no different from ordinary houses.

The craftsmen and sergeants who built the house were poured a special decoction when they built the house, and after drinking that decoction, they could not remember the construction process at all, so no one knew what secrets the house hid.

But people still find that the kind of house is very strange - that is, there is no shadow, just like what we see today, the house does not appear in the sunlight, which is too unbelievable, so this kind of house is also called 'Zhuge Haunted House'.

I always thought that this kind of account could not be true whether it was a legend, but I didn't expect to see this kind of house with my own eyes today, which is really incredible. ”

Professor Shan's recount, like the historical anecdotes told by my cousin in the past, is very wonderful, very weird, and unbelievable, but it has appeared vividly in front of our eyes.

"You haven't said what happened to the 'living ghosts' after they got into the house? Is it written in the book? Kenya listens very carefully, she likes to get to the bottom of weird things, and she doesn't let go of any details, which can be regarded as her "occupational disease" as a journalist.

Professor Shan nodded slightly, and patiently asked and answered: "Yes, there is a record in the book about this - after those 'living ghosts' entered the house built by Zhuge Liang, they were all covered in severe pain, fell to the ground and struggled, and soon died, and after they died, they were purple and black, and their faces were hideous, which was very scary. ”

After listening to what Professor Shan said, Kenya nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone's mood is different from Kenya's, we are more concerned about what is going on in those houses without shadows, although Professor Shan knows this story about the "shadowless house", but what is going on, he can't say.

And the cousin and the madman six are all frowning, it seems that they don't know what is going on with this strange phenomenon.

It was really dark fast, when we stood on the hillside, and wanted to observe the yard again, the sun had already set, we had to go back, after seeing this strange phenomenon, we felt different about Mr. Chen's yard, and there was an indescribable feeling.

Mr. Chen was even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but nagging as he walked, "What's going on? I've lived here for a few years and I've never noticed anything strange like this, it's weird, it's weird. "Mr. Chen's wife, Old Man Ouyang, Mr. Yuan, and two Japanese female assistants, none of them went out with us this time, and they all stayed at home, and before they entered the yard, they heard the madman ask in a loud voice: "Wife, are you all right at home?" ”

Mr. Chen's wife heard the shout and hurriedly greeted him, looked at Mr. Chen and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" We're fine, nothing's going on. ”

Hearing the old lady say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what there is in this courtyard, we must live here, because in the depths of this mountain, we have no other place to stay.

"Then did you just find out that there is no shadow in these houses?" Mr. Chen couldn't wait to ask his wife, Mr. Chen's wife was a little inexplicable by Mr. Chen's question, she took a step back, looked at Mr. Chen's expression, and then looked at a few of us, and said in surprise: "Old man, what's wrong with you, did you take the wrong medicine, why do you keep asking some inexplicable questions?" Of course there is, when the sun went down just now, I dried the machine quilt and found that they were all in the shade, so they were all withdrawn into the house, how could there be no shadow. ”
