Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth: Entering the House
The old and mottled walls, the peeling paint on the door, and the roof covered with weeds and moss. Even if you stand at a distance and take a look at the door and the wall at the door, you can see that this mansion is old and abandoned.
The two large stone lions at the door also looked extremely old and mottled, with spots on their bodies that were contaminated by unknown substances. The eye of one of the stone lions was smashed at some point, making it look even more desolate, with paint peeling off.
The door was closed tightly, and the situation inside could not be seen. There was a stone tablet as tall as a person standing in the middle of the door, with a big word "forbidden" written on it.
There is also a plaque covered with dust and covered with spider webs on the peeling paint door, with the word "Li Family" written in big letters. It is the haunted house of the Li Family that the hotel owner mentioned before.
"Is what the hotel owner said true? Is this house really that dangerous?" Looking at the situation of the Li family across the street, the short-haired young man couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and said.
In fact, he was still a little doubtful about what the innkeeper said, but when he saw the desolate mansion, especially the big stone tablet with forbidden words at the door, he felt a little unsure.
From the traces on this stone tablet, it is obvious that it has been there for some years. For so many years, such a stone tablet must have been tacitly approved by the people of Tianfeng Town. The meaning of the forbidden words on it is very obvious. This
Inside is a forbidden area, a place that can be classified as a forbidden area by default by the entire town. It is conceivable that what kind of place is inside is definitely an unknown and dangerous symbol.
The calm young man looked at the door of the Li family's mansion across the street, and his expression flashed: "Let's go over and have a look." After that, he took the lead and walked towards the opposite side, and the short-inch young man quickly followed.
"Hey, stop, what are you doing? Stop." The two of them had just walked across the street and arrived in front of the Li family's mansion, when suddenly a sharp sound came from down the street.
A middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin and a thin body, walked out of a small wooden house next to the street. Seeing the two people's movements, he walked over quickly and called to them with a cold face.
The short-haired young man and the calm young man also stopped when they heard the words, looked at the middle-aged man who appeared, and looked at each other. A glint flashed in their eyes, but on the surface they looked at each other without showing any expression.
The middle-aged man's face was cold and his attitude was not very good. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the two people walking in here. However, he looked at the two people and saw that the short-haired young man and the calm young man were both dressed in extraordinary manners and had outstanding temperaments.
Like ordinary people, his attitude immediately softened a lot, and he asked: "Are you foreigners?" The middle-aged man asked, his tone still relatively cold.
"Exactly, we are new to your land. We just came here and saw this house and the stone tablet at the door. We were a little curious and came over to take a look." The short-haired young man said with a smile on his face.
"This is not the place you should come to. If nothing happens, just leave. You can't go in here. You go ahead. Don't make any mistakes." Hearing this, the middle-aged man spoke again.
"You can't go in." Hearing this, the short-haired young man glanced at the Li family house again, and then looked at the middle-aged man with a peaceful smile on his face. He took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man: "I
This man has always been very curious, especially about anecdotes. I think there must be a reason for the appearance of this house. I wonder if this elder brother can tell us something."
After saying that, the short-haired young man handed five oceans to the middle-aged man's hand without leaving any trace, with a smile on his face. The middle-aged man did not refuse, quickly took the ocean, looked at it, and then the expression on his face suddenly relaxed.
, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he said: "Originally, this matter is forbidden by the town's regulations and is not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world, but seeing that you are in trouble, brother, I will tell you about it."
"This house is haunted. It's so fierce that you can't enter it. People in the Li family were cursed before they died, and they became ghosts after death. Anyone who goes in will be contaminated by the curse and will definitely die..."
The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said to the two of them. His statement was almost exactly the same as that of the previous hotel owner. Hearing this, the short-haired young man and the calm young man looked at each other calmly, but they were both calm and pretending.
Tsukuru didn't know, but the short-haired young man took advantage of this and continued to ask: "It's haunted, brother, can you tell us more about it? What's going on?"
After receiving the money, the middle-aged man also changed his attitude towards the two of them. Instead of being cold-faced at the beginning, he became enthusiastic. He did not show any impatience with the short-haired young man's questioning, and began to answer carefully, telling the Li family
The reasons for the haunted house were all told one by one, and it was the same as what the previous hotel owner said.
"Since this house is so dangerous, why not just burn it down?" After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the short-haired young man asked.
"Of course we also thought about burning the house, but the Taoist priest said at the time that as long as the curse of the Li family persists and the resentment persists, even burning the house will be useless, and it will also destroy his magic seal. The only way is to
Seal the contents inside the house to prevent the contents from coming out, and then let the curse of resentment slowly dissipate and disappear in the seal formation over time. Therefore, over the years, the house has been classified as a forbidden area by the town, and no one is allowed to enter.
, and arrange for people to guard it every day to prevent people from entering by mistake."
The middle-aged man spoke. After speaking, he glanced at the closed door of the Li family mansion. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the two short-haired young men.
"If nothing happens to you two, please leave immediately. This house is really dangerous. Don't enter it just out of curiosity. This is no joke."
Finally, the middle-aged man warned the two of them again, turned around and left the door, and returned to his cabin. The cabin was more than 20 meters away from the street. It was an independent cabin with just enough space inside.
A bed is placed for people to sleep soundly. It looks like it was specially built here to look at the Li family house.
After the middle-aged man left, only the calm young man and the short-haired young man were left at the door again, but they could feel that the middle-aged man was still paying attention to them in the cabin.
"Brother Yi, what should we do? From the current news, it seems that the Li family's haunted house is probably the target we are looking for, but whether it is true or not has yet to be determined."
The short-haired young man looked at the calm young man beside him and said. After speaking, he glanced at the closed door of the Li family and his eyes flickered.
"If you want to be sure, it looks like you have to go in and see for yourself."
The calm young man shook his head slightly when he heard this and said slowly.
"If you want to go in, you have to go in at night. Let's go first and walk around the town to see if we can find out anything else useful."
The short-haired young man nodded when he heard this, then thought about it and said again.
"Then buy a black dog and a big rooster, fill it with black dog blood and chicken blood for later use at night, and then go and see if there is a ghost head knife. I heard that these things can exorcise evil spirits and cure ghosts, especially the ghost head knife, which can kill people.
The more there are, the stronger the evil spirit above, which can kill ghosts. If this house is really haunted, it would be too dangerous for the two of us to go in empty-handed, so we must make some preparations."
The calm young man thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded.
............................
At night, Tianfeng Town was completely silent. After nightfall, the entire Tianfeng Town fell into silence.
There were not many entertainment activities during the Republic of China, especially for ordinary people in small towns. After dinner, they went to bed. They were tired enough during the day. At night, if there was nothing to do, more people would choose to
Time spent resting in bed.
Therefore, at night, the entire Tianfeng Town is quiet and quiet, and every house has its lights turned off.
But it didn't look dark at all. In the night sky, a crescent moon rose, casting cool and white moonlight.
Bang! Bang!
With two soft sounds, in a remote alley beside the wall on the left side of the Li family mansion, a calm young man and a short-haired young man came here. Both of them were dressed in night clothes.
I took a look at the wall in front of me. It was more than two or three meters high. I climbed over the wall and entered the Li family mansion.
"Be careful when you go in later and don't get distracted. This mission is different from the previous ones. Judging from the news I heard during the day, this house is probably not clean. Be careful when you go in."
The calm young man raised his head and glanced at the wall, with a solemn look in his eyes. He spoke to the short-haired young man next to him. At the same time, he couldn't help but squeeze his right hand in his pocket. There was a talisman folded into a triangle, which was the original one.
Fang Ming gave it to him here. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that when he put his right hand into his pocket to pinch the talisman, the talisman seemed to heat up. The moment he touched it, he felt
I felt a burning sensation, but then it dissipated.
There was a solemn look in the calm young man's eyes. He had a hunch that this trip might not be peaceful.
"Don't worry, brother Yi, I've already made all preparations. Look, here, I'll give you two pots."
The short-haired young man grinned when he heard this and took out four iron kettles from his body.
"This is the black dog blood and chicken blood that I made during the day. There are two pots each of black dog blood and chicken blood. If there is really something dirty, pour it to death. It's a pity that I didn't find the ghost head knife."
With that said, the short-haired young man handed two iron kettles to the calm young man.
"Hope this will be useful."
The calm young man said something and tied two iron kettles to his body.
"Let's go in. Whether it's real or fake, whether it's a ghost or not, you have to go in and take a look."
"Fuck it, let's go. I've never been afraid of anything in my life. Even if there is a ghost, I still have to take a look."
Whoosh!
After saying that, the two of them jumped up. Both of them were Mingjin warriors. For the two of them, it was not difficult to climb over the nearly three-meter wall. They simply jumped with their legs and held up their hands, and they climbed over.
passed.
PS: During the Spring Festival in my hometown, I will just write two chapters a day. One is that there are more trivial matters, and the other is that it is really cold in the countryside, and it is raining, with only three or four degrees. It takes a long time to finish writing a chapter every time, and my fingers
