The three of them walked into the door and turned a corner. In front of them was a three-story Western-style villa, covering an area of about two to three hundred square meters.
There are two more bungalows on the left and right of the villa. The one on the left has no door, and there is a stone statue in the center. It is unknown which god it is.
Jian Yi walked in and took a look. The incense in the small temple had not been cut off. The three incense candles were still burning, emitting wisps of green smoke, but the length had not been shortened. However, he was not surprised by this. Even the floating skeleton was formed.
, what else is impossible to happen?
"Tsk, it's so gloomy," Zhao Zichao said with his arms crossed. Although it was summer, a chill came from the bottom up. "The bottom of the wall is still wet."
Lin Xi on the other side heard the words and looked around. There were still mottled rain marks on the inner wall, and wet moss could still be seen at the bottom of the wall, as if it had just rained yesterday.
The locust trees surrounding the interior walls are covered with vines, but there are no weeds or debris. If it were an old house, the house would not be so tidy.
There was even a puddle of water under the shade of the locust tree, which further confirmed his suspicion that the rain was not far away from now, only one or two days away.
"It shouldn't be," Zhao Zichao raised a doubt, "You have also seen the situation at the bottom of the mountain. It is as dry as a desert. Why is it so humid here..."
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing Zhao Zichao to shiver. He sneezed and complained: "Let me just say, the mountain and the mountain are two completely different worlds. Wearing short sleeves isn't it going to be cold?"
He does not mean that.
Jian Yi and Lin Xi looked at each other, as if they got some inspiration from his words.
What Zhao Zichao said is correct. It is obvious that the mountains and the mountains are two completely different environments. The dryness and humidity of the air can well illustrate this point.
Including the previous skeletons, they all appeared after they went up the mountain.
This can illustrate a problem: Qianluo Mountain is obviously different from the outside world. It can even be said to be an independent space. The dividing point is probably the Shimen at the foot of the mountain.
In other words, they may have entered a "hidden space", just like the tunnel in Spirited Away, connecting the human world and the demon world. It is easy to enter, but difficult to come out.
This is similar to the legendary ghost beating the wall, or... this is a different kind of ghost beating the wall.
Seeing that Jian Yi didn't speak for a long time, Lin Xi took the lead in talking about what she had just discovered: "The bungalow over there can't be opened, and there's a lock on the door."
She made a simple gesture in the air with her finger: "The keyhole corresponds to a cross shape, and the specific length is not clear, which means..."
"That means we can only go in?" Zhao Zi took over the topic supernaturally, but still couldn't hide the panic in his expression, "But..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept through the courtyard, and he sneezed again, feeling agitated all over: "Tsk, this place is really evil."
"What did you just want to say?" Lin Xi glanced at him and joked: "Are you afraid?"
"I didn't..." Zhao Zichao wanted to respond to her loudly, but his voice became softer unknowingly, and he seemed to lack confidence.
"Tch, just admit it if you're afraid."
"you!"
While the two were bickering, Jian Yi was observing the layout of the courtyard alone under the shade of a tree.
Although the house looks very big, it is very empty after all, so there are only a few places in the courtyard that can be explored. If you have to dig deeper, you can only dig up this tree.
After briefly looking at the seven or eight meter tall old locust tree, I gave up this childish idea.
This leaves only one point to explore: this Western-style villa.
In order to clearly see the scene outside the villa, he adjusted the brightness of the flashlight to the highest level, but the light emitted was still very dim, which could only barely allow him to clearly see things within three meters. Once it exceeded three meters, he would be blinded.
With the faint light of the flashlight, he walked up the carved marble steps under the villa, his clothes rustling in the cold wind.
Even in summer, it still makes him feel chilly.
The exterior decoration of the villa is very ordinary, just like the decoration of ordinary people's homes, and it is not as luxurious as imagined.
From the appearance alone, it seems that it does not deserve the name of "ancient house".
As you walk up the steps, you can clearly see its exterior design.
The door of this building has no door panel. However, the reason is not that the door panel was damaged due to years of wear and tear, but because the door did not have a door panel at the beginning of the villa design, and it did not even have a door frame.
There is a long red banner on the left and right sides of the door, with the words "Jinlong bids farewell to thousands of families" written on the right, and "Golden Snake welcomes spring to thousands of households" written on the right, with gold characters and a red background.
Well, if it is fluttering in the wind, this scene should look very festive.
"Is this a Spring Festival couplet?" Jian Jian was a little surprised and said to herself, "Does it still look like the Year of the Snake..."
At this time, he suddenly realized that he had obviously fallen into a misunderstanding: since it was a supernatural script, he did not include the concept of "human beings" in the script.
Including information such as the absence of traces of life in the courtyard and the temple, all seemed to imply that his haunted house was formed naturally.
But the Spring Festival couplets placed in front of him were enough to overturn his previous conclusion: even if it is a supernatural event, its source may still be related to humans.
Because no ghost has the habit of posting Spring Festival couplets.
But the strange thing is that there does not seem to be the "weird screams" described in the cg. The villa is as quiet as a tomb, with no sound inside or around it, as if the sounds heard in the village before were an illusion.
This is normal in reality. If no one lives there, there will naturally be no sound.
But this seems out of place in a supernatural script.
It's too quiet.
The normal within the abnormal is actually abnormal.
Jian Jian never fights an unprepared battle. His original plan was to have a certain understanding of the villa's past before entering and exploring, so that he could avoid some taboos and dangers.
For example, you cannot look in the mirror at the dressing table, you cannot turn your back to the toilet in the toilet, and those who fall behind will die... These can be regarded as the iron laws of the haunted house.
In other words, different places have different rules. These "laws" have the same effect on the supernatural as physics does on the world.
At this time, Zhao Zichao and Lin Xi also quickly walked up the steps. Their previous exploration in the courtyard had not yielded any results.
Zhao Zichao originally wanted to look for clues in the direction of the gunpowder, but the courtyard wall of the ancient house was as white as a wash, and there was no trace left at all.
In other words, except for the area on the outer wall, there was no sign of gunpowder in the entire courtyard, which almost overturned Lin Xi's "warlord" speculation.
Similarly, Lin Xi also found nothing.
The temple occupies a very small area and is only as tall as one person. You can't even get in. It's like an ordinary small temple dedicated to the Kitchen God. With such a small space, it's completely impossible to install a mechanism.
As for the old locust tree...even if there is something really buried under the tree, they don't have the ability to dig out.
If they want to find out the truth, there is only one choice left before the three of them: enter the villa.
