136. Chapter 136 The old house in the ancient village
Nan Haiyue looked at the wooden plank bridge in front of her for a long time without daring to take a step forward. The bridge was covered with moss, and there were traces of the old man's footprints on the moss plank, but the traces were very shallow, which showed that the old man was light in weight or had light martial arts.
good.
"Sister Haiyue, why don't you leave?" Mei Xi asked.
"Look, the name of this wooden bridge is so weird, Yin-Yang Bridge? Maybe it means that the two ends of the bridge are separated by yin and yang? I'm afraid that if we take this step, we will never have the chance to return to the world."
Ma Laosi didn't have the rich imagination of the girls. He took a step forward, stepped on the middle of the wooden bridge and deliberately stamped his feet a few times. "Come on, it's okay. Look, I'm right here. No, there's no such thing as a bull-headed horse-faced handle."
Shall I take him away? Come on, I'll take care of anything." He held Thompson in his arms and felt more confident. At this time, he also needed a man to cheer him up.
"Let's go, maybe I'm overthinking it." Facts have proved that Nan Haiyue's intuition was right, and his understanding was also accurate. After taking this step, the four of them were really separated from the world here.
. Let them go through the hell gate completely, and almost lost their lives in it.
Walking across the Yin Yang Bridge is the entrance of Wangchen Village. The layout is similar to that of other small villages in the south. There is an old tree at the entrance of the village, a ginkgo. The old tree blocks out the sky and the sun and is extremely lush. It is at least five hundred years old.
Although the tree was big, it felt like it had a more gloomy air. After crossing the bridge, the four of them felt that even though the sun was shining brightly, there was a constant gloomy wind blowing around them.
"Ginkgo trees are inherently yin, and this village is really weird. Such a layout may destroy the vitality of the stream just now and destroy the overall feng shui of the village. The reason why this ginkgo tree grows so lushly is because it absorbs the entire
The essence of the village's earth atmosphere." Nan Haiyue also has some attainments in Feng Shui.
Originally, it was just an ordinary old tree and did not attract anyone's attention. But just when the four of them walked past the old tree and wanted to enter along the village road, Mei Xi suddenly turned around.
"Gege, let's go?" Ma Laosi called her.
"Ah... let's go." She replied and continued walking forward.
Suddenly she stopped again and looked back at the old tree. This time she turned her whole body around and stared at the old tree attentively.
"Meixi, what's wrong?" Haiyue asked her.
"Sister Haiyue, did you hear anything just now?" she asked.
"Sound? No? This village is so eerily quiet. Where is the sound?"
"Isn't it? I... I just seemed to vaguely hear someone crying, which is in the direction of the ginkgo tree, and it seems to be under the tree." Mei Xi's words almost scared everyone to death. It was in broad daylight and no one else could hear it.
She could hear the sound. Was there really a ghost?
In the past, Nan Haiyue and her friends experienced too many strange events. She also believed that there were souls in the world, but he also had the same sacred object as the Haidongqing ring handed down by the Hai family. Usually, if he encountered dirty
Whenever something has evil thoughts about a sacred object, it will use its unique way to alert its owner, but Haiyue really didn't feel it just now.
However, she still chose to trust Mei Xi's intuition. "Tell sister, who did you hear crying again? How many people? Is it a man or a woman?"
Mei Xi shook her head: "I don't know, the sound was very hollow and I couldn't hear anything, but I'm sure it was near this old ginkgo tree."
The most important thing now is to catch up with the strange old man and see what he is up to. They have long known that there are weird things in this village, so this is not the most important thing. In other words, no matter what happened in this village in the past,
It has nothing to do with them, they just want to find a way out of this world quickly.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's go." Haiyue patted Mei Xi on the shoulder.
As Mei Xi continued to walk forward with the three of them, she kept looking back at the old tree. She had an intuition that someone was asking for help over there, but why was she the only one who could hear it? Could it be that her body was really related to
Different?
If it were placed in the Qing Dynasty, the size of this village would definitely not be small. Looking at it, the entire village is built on the mountain, with hundreds of houses. Each house is a suite, and you can see that Wangchen Village was like that in the past.
A lot of financial and manpower were used to build the village. Every house is made of green bricks and green tiles, with big red painted doors. Some of them are luxurious. There are two stone lions poking in front of the door. Even the bolts on the door are closed.
Nice brass carved pepper picture.
"Go in and take a look." Haiyue reached out and pushed open a door on the side of the road.
There were so many houses, each with its door closed and the red paint painted clean and spotless. It was hard to imagine that this old house had been preserved for hundreds of years. It was more like someone had to clean it every day. She just tried to
She pushed, not expecting to be able to get in so easily. Large families had door bolts and door bars in their homes, but she pushed lightly, and the door slowly opened with a sound of branches.
Phew...a dark wind blew out from inside the door, choking the dust accumulated for hundreds of years and making everyone cough.
Inside the door is a screen wall. This house is not big, so the screen wall is only four or five meters long, which can barely cover the view of the courtyard. On the screen wall is carved a monster that looks like a tortoise but not a tortoise, a snake but not a snake, and a monster dragon head.
It has a snake tail, a shell on its back and a ferocious face.
"It's strange. I've only heard of people carving characters, scenes, and famous people on the screen walls. Even if the emperor only carves a dragon, what kind of monster is this guy doing?" Dayong asked.
Yue Fujin explained that this is called the Xuanwu Beast, which is the sacred beast on the imperial seal of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be a symbol of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps Wangchen Village is related to the descendants of the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.
The four of them walked around the screen wall and entered the house. Another ginkgo tree appeared in the yard. Although this ginkgo tree was not as big as the one at the entrance of the village, the branches and leaves on it just blocked the sunlight in the entire house. Most families have
They like direct sunlight. Sunlight is also yang energy. The more yang energy there is, the more blessed the house will be. But this family just likes to make it full of yin energy.
Snap...
The four young people were already highly nervous at this moment. They were so frightened by this sudden noise that they trembled all over and quickly formed a four-corner defensive posture back to back to observe the surroundings.
Fortunately, it was just because they pushed open the door and suddenly broke the centuries-old silence of the house that a glazed tile on the roof slipped and fell to pieces. Nan Haiyue picked up the tile, looked at it, and smelled it again.
Got the news.
She said: "This house is indeed at least three hundred years old, and the firing process of the glazed tiles echoes the characteristics of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."
"Wow, it's a house in the early Qing Dynasty. Sister, can you sell these tiles for money if you take them back?" Since Mei Xi had a fight with her brother-in-law last time and got the benefit, she was always thinking about getting something to sell.
