Chapter 165 Sundial(1/3)
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yan Yan had a very strange feeling.
——Is the yard in front of you different from before?
The swing is still the same swing, and the yard is still the same, but the scene in the sky is strange.
Yan Yan couldn't help but stop, raised his head and stared at the sky.
She finally realized something was strange.
Even the clouds in the sky are motionless.
White clouds and gray dogs, the clouds in the sky are always changing and cannot remain still like a picture.
"Ah Yao, come here and see."
Outside a side room in the yard, Qingyu waved her hand to Yan Yan to look inside.
Yan Yan came to the door of the side room, paused, turned his head and glanced at Qingyu, lowered his eyes and walked into the side room.
——Qingyu has always followed the rules and never waved to greet people in that way.
The moment you step into the side room, the room is filled with criss-crossing transparent threads. As long as someone enters the house, their whole body will be controlled by these threads.
She let the threads wrap around her body, and the threads controlled her to move forward until she reached the middle of the side room.
Above the room, where the black light could not reach, greedy eyes were staring at her.
Yan Yan tried hard not to move his eyes but to look at the things above the room.
The grotesque puppets were hung up one by one.
The long and thin limbs, the short round torso, and the extremely weird head are all pieced together.
"Crunch——"
A puppet suddenly appeared in front of Yan Yan and walked towards her in a stiff posture. Its slender legs could not support the entire puppet, and its torso, which was smaller than its head, could not control its limbs and head.
The head is tilted left and right, and the limbs are flexing their teeth and claws. If there is no trunk connected, the limbs and head may go their separate ways.
Yan Yan looked calmly at the puppet in front of her who dared to approach her.
The long and pointed chin was lifted upwards with a "crunch", revealing the large mouth blocked underneath.
The bloody mouth opened wider and wider until it could bite off Yan Yan's head, and he pounced towards her.
…
The puppet's big mouth was still gnawing hard on Yan Yan's head, but it couldn't close its mouth no matter what.
The threads on Yan Yan's hands were melted by her, and he opened the puppet's mouth up and down. There were dense circles of teeth-like things squirming inside.
"Like to open your mouth? Then keep it open."
After saying this, Yan Yan used both hands to slowly open the puppet from its mouth, tearing the corners of its mouth until the body was separated.
After she let go, the puppet's head did not fall to the ground, but continued to hang on the puppet's body, controlled by threads, and hung on the beam.
Yan Yan also understood at this time that this was not a ghost beating the wall at all, nor was it a ghost realm. The ghosts here did not have that ability yet. This was a ghost covering their eyes.
It seemed that they were led into a ghost wall, but in fact all this was just what they saw after being blinded by ghosts.
After Yan Yan cracked the ghost blindfold, everything in front of her disappeared, and she was still standing at the door of the swing yard.
Standing next to him was Qingyu. He seemed to have lost his soul and stood motionless, not even blinking.
Yan Yao reached out and patted his shoulder. Qingyu blinked before she woke up.
"I..." Qingyu turned to look at Yan Yan, "That was... a ghost covering his eyes just now?"
Yan Yan nodded, "What did you see inside?"
"Puppet." Qingyu was stunned.
He obviously took Yan Yan to the courtyard, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt that everything was different.
He is a Taoist priest, and he will feel particularly uncomfortable when he goes to places with strong Yin energy. Just as he was about to pull Yan Yan away, he saw Yan Yan, who was by his side, appear at the door of the side room.
"Qingyu, this way." Yan Yan smiled softly and charmingly.
This smile would make people fall in love if it appeared on any woman's face, but it could not appear on Yan Yan's face.
This kind of smile appeared on her face, just like crocodile tears, a weasel giving New Year greetings to a rooster, smiling at the dead than at the living.
Qingyu subconsciously wanted to stay away from that unreal Yan Yu.
As soon as he took a step back, he hit a wall of flesh behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was Yan Yu. He thought it was the real Yan Yu. When he was about to open his mouth to speak, he saw this Yan Yu holding him with both hands from behind.
Just as the graceful figure was about to close up, Qingyu pushed him away and he quickly walked into the side room.
He would rather enter this unknown side house than face such Yan Yan.
--terrible.
After entering the side room, a layer of golden light appeared all over Qingyu, melting the threads that touched him. The golden light then followed the threads and melted to the puppets on the beams.
The melted stumps fell from above. Before he could see clearly, he returned to the entrance of the yard when he regained consciousness.
"Let's go, this time I don't believe you and dare to cover our eyes." Yan Yan raised his feet and walked into the yard, "If you still dare, I will dig out the eyeballs and give them to it to see if it has the ability to take them."
Qingyu wiped away the cold sweat with a helpless smile on her face.
This is Yan Yan. If he wants her charming smile, she can just give him an eyeball.
What Qingyu wanted to pull Yan Yan to look at before was the puppets placed randomly in the room. These puppets were all real puppets, and he couldn't get rid of them all.
Yan Yan had been to this yard with swings before, but had never entered the house. He really didn't know that there were so many puppets placed in the house.
Each one is vivid, but not as scary as the ghost's eyes.
Yan Yan picked up a puppet and asked, "What can these puppets be used for?"
"Puppet show, children's toys, or used for worship." Qingyu thought for a while and said.
Yan Yan was surprised: "Enshrine?"
"It is used to make statues of gods. There are many wooden statues. Most ordinary people have wooden statues in their homes." Qingyu explained.
Yan Yan nodded: "These may have been left by the carpenter, I'll go ask."
The person who came to tidy up the mansion was a carpenter's shop that Yan Yan found at random. There was a street full of furniture shops, so she simply took over the entire street and just needed to tidy up her ghost mansion.
In a carpenter's shop on a small street called East Street.
"Bang!" With a sound, Yan Yan placed the puppets he was holding on the table of the shop.
"I asked you to clean up the house, so you put this thing in the house to scare us?" Yan Yan snapped, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"
Qingyu followed behind, laughing inwardly.
Before coming, Yan Yan said that she had learned a trick to suppress first and then raise the alarm, so as to preemptively strike. As long as she looked like she was looking for trouble, she would be able to scare the carpenter shop.
At least it can save you a lot of nonsense between the two, and you can get the answers you want as quickly as possible.
He asked at the time: "Wouldn't this make people think you are looking for trouble? What if they report it to the police?"
"This requires you to play a white face." Yan Yan patted his shoulder solemnly, "This important task will be left to you. If you can't play a white face well, we will really go to the county government."
Qingyu: "..."
There was only one woman polishing the wood carvings in the carpenter's shop. Seeing the menace coming, she quickly put down the wood carvings in her hands, with a look of panic on her face.
"This girl..."
"Is this something from your shop? Are you putting this thing in our house to scare us to death?" Yan Yan said angrily.
Qingyu looked at the woman with a wry smile on her face and told Yan Yan to calm down.
The woman picked up the puppet and looked at it carefully, then nodded, "It is indeed my husband's craftsmanship, but our shop does not make puppets." She was also confused as to why the husband would make puppets for this girl's family.
"Since it was your husband-in-law who did it, let him explain it. I want to see if he wants to scare a weak woman like me to death."
Hearing this, Qingyu almost forgot to stop her: "..." Weak woman, who are you talking about?
"My father-in-law went out to do some work and hasn't come back for half a month." The woman apologized, "Can you wait for me to go look for it?"
"You go look for it, what will you do if you run away?" Yan Yan curled his lips, "I'll look for it if you tell me which one it is. Don't worry, I'll spare your husband half of his life."
Qingyu reluctantly said: If you say this, the woman will not dare to tell her.
The woman was an honest person, and she was really afraid that her husband would put the doll in the girl's house to scare others, so she told Yan Yu where the family lived.
Hearing this, Yan Yu and Qing Yu paused on the spot, neither of them spoke.
"Girl?" the woman added, "that place is very evil, girl, I'd better take a few more people there."
"Oh." Yan Yan nodded blankly.
She and Qingyu looked at each other and asked uncertainly, "Do you think the place where that family lives looks familiar?"
Qingyu nodded.
It's not their ghost house.
