It is said that Songbai lifted the ground protection with one arm, swaying in the air non-stop, and when he was asking, a sudden gust of wind struck, and the sand suddenly became fierce. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Songbai obviously felt that there was a sound of wind behind him, so he immediately put down the ground protection, bent down to dodge, and vaguely saw a white shadow floating by, but the wind and sand were too big, and he really didn't dare to keep staring.

After the wind and sand stopped, the two patted the dust on their bodies, and Songbai felt something strange, so he sniffed the dust on his sleeve with his nose.

"Have you noticed that this smell is so familiar, as if you have smelled it somewhere? Songbai said to Gu Wenxuan.

"This seems to be the smell of incense burner ashes, maybe it is really the incense ashes in the inner hall, the incense ashes in the incense burner, is there really something unclean in this ancient mansion?" Gu Wenxuan stammered.

Songbai stood up straight, turned around, and looked into the courtyard, everything was the same as before, only in the incense burner, the three green incense sticks that were rekindled suddenly dropped a lot.

Songbai patted Gu Wenxuan's shoulder, walked towards this ancient mansion, came to this hall, and carefully looked at the layout here, as if someone had cleaned it just now, and there was no dust at all.

"Did you notice that this place seems to be very clean, and it is noticeably different from the deserted houses. Songbai turned around and said, but he didn't find Gu Wenxuan behind him, so he went out to look for it.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard an exclamation, so he walked out quickly, only to see Gu Wenxuan sitting on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and kept shouting for help.

When the line came closer, Songbai found that the place was lying on the ground, blood flowing from the seven holes, and his face was hideous and terrifying, so he immediately patted Gu Wenxuan's shoulder and helped him up.

"He's dead! he was alive just now, but now he's dead, he's dead!" Gu Wenxuan covered his mouth and kept muttering, as if he was frightened.

Songbai was also a little flustered at this time, not knowing what to do, looking around, looking at an old farmer carrying a hoe, slowly walking towards this side.

Songbai hurried over, took out his waist card, handed it to the old farmer, and explained his intentions, only to see him shake his head, ready to leave the field to work.

"Old man, is there anything unclean in this ancient mansion? Dibao died inexplicably just now. Songbai asked, pointing to the courtyard.

"You better hurry up! No one dares to approach here, I am old, I don't want to take a detour, I always avoid it, I never dare to stand at the door, let alone enter the courtyard, alas! You can't afford to mess with the things here! Let's go!" The old man shook his head and walked back.

"Old uncle, you should inform the government of the troubles in this courtyard, how can you blindly avoid it, as if it has not happened. Songbai then began to ask.

"Young man, we can't afford to mess with the things here, and neither can you afford to mess with your government, so leave quickly! Don't wander around here, you might lose your life later." The old man looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and sighed softly.

Songbai ran in front of the old man, blocked his way, bent down and clenched his fists, and said: "Old uncle, someone died here just now, why are you so indifferent? Do you have to stay here and continue to mutilate the innocent? Can you tell me, what is there here?"

The old man seemed to feel something, a little involuntarily sad, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "Not only after this, my only son, as early as two years ago, has died in the courtyard, inviting the mage to open the altar, it is also useless, the government came to investigate, it is also hasty, I don't want to spend time on this matter, alas!"

Seeing the sadness on the old man's face, Songbai immediately patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Old man, I'm sorry to mention your sadness, but if you don't get rid of the things in this courtyard, he will harm more people in the future! Don't you want to get rid of the evil in it? What is in it?"

The old man shook his head, put down his hoe, sat down on the side of the road, took out the tobacco leaves from his cigarette pouch, struck them with flint and lit them, took a deep breath, exhaled a thick white smoke, and looked deeply at the clouds in the sky.

"Don't you know? This courtyard used to be inhabited by large families, and I heard that there were relatives who were officials in the imperial court, and the nearby squires and tyrants all came to pay their respects, and of course it was very lively. The old man exhaled a puff of smoke and said quietly.

Songbai listened carefully to the old man's words, and when he saw that he paused, he immediately took over and said, "Then what happened later? How did it become so withered?"

The old man glanced back at the pine and cypress, and then looked at Gu Wenxuan, who walked over slowly, and continued: "This ancient family compound has always been full of guests and visitors, in our area, it is very lively! This matter has to start from the wedding day of the second young master of the ancient family, the second young master of the ancient family is surnamed Wenyuan, and he is the son of our township, which can be described as both civil and military, and has won the hearts of the girls nearby.

The old man paused for a moment, took a deep breath of cigarette, and slowly continued: "This ancient family chooses left and right, and finally sets a family business, all the villagers come to worship He Tianxi, on the night of marriage, after everyone made trouble in the cave room, in the middle of the night, when the third watch, I heard a wolf howl, the next day, this ancient family compound, up and down dozens of people, all fell in a pool of blood, but this bride, since then, has disappeared, the government came to investigate the case, within half a day, it was hastily settled, the case was closed. ”

Seeing that he had paused again, Songbai immediately stepped over and asked softly: "There are dozens of people in this mansion, and all of them were wiped out overnight, and this official mansion ended the case like this, and no one came to investigate it?"

Only then did the old man faintly spit out the smoke ring, and continued: "Later, we learned that the relatives of the court officials of this ancient family were accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, secretly colluding with the Japanese and criminals, and were convicted and investigated by the imperial court.

After hearing this, Songbai was a little puzzled, so he stood up, looked at the courtyard of the ancient family, recalled the glorious scene in the past, and then looked at the withered and dilapidated now, and couldn't help but sigh.

Songbai suddenly turned around, realized, and asked Gu Wenxuan: "You are also surnamed Gu, and these characters are all Wen, can't they be your relatives? The ghosts in this house can't be relatives you know, right?"

Gu Wenxuan waved his right hand with a look of disdain: "What are you talking about? Even if it's my relative, how can I not admit it, didn't he move me to the dry well, how can any relative treat my relative like this?"

After Gu Wenxuan finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, Songbai was puzzled, said goodbye to the old man and followed, and the two stood next to the corpse of the ground guard, looking at each other silently.

Just as the two of them stood opposite the corpse, there was a light cough behind them......
