Hearing that Fatty is not feeling well, goosebumps all over his body, as if bugs were crawling, "That door...is that door made of coffin boards?" Fatty couldn't figure out how anyone would do that.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qin said: "In ancient times, coffins were not something unknown, and there were not so many taboos about coffins. It is said that many old people had already made shrouds for themselves when they were alive, laid coffins, and even parked them In a secluded place at home, there is a very good meaning in it, which means that one's descendants will accumulate good fortune and longevity, get promoted and make a fortune, and the common folk saying of saving coffins is exactly the same."
Zhang Qizheng glanced at Lu Qin, and said in an unusually formal tone: "Although that is the case, it is the first time I have seen someone who dared to split open the coffin and use the coffin lid as the door panel, and this is a dark cellar that has sunk into the bottom of the water."
Zhang Qizheng emphasized his tone when he said the word "sink into the bottom of the water". This was clearly a reminder. In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. The people in Jiangcheng had already thought of what happened last night and the place called Chunshen Lake.
"That door is not for people, it's for ghosts." Tang Qisheng said suddenly.
Everyone was taken aback, Shao Tong showed an expression of great interest, and asked, "Can you tell me in detail?"
Tang Qisheng ignored him, turned around, and looked straight at the road he was walking on. The corridors along the way were nested and turned a thousand times. As a folklore researcher, Tang Qisheng naturally knew some knowledge about Fengshui. In his opinion, the Qi in this Marquis Mansion is not smooth, it is stagnant, and even faintly dead.
"I have seen such things as using coffins as doors in an ancient book. Ordinary doors cannot block ghosts, but coffins are different. Coffins are the final destination of the body after death. According to the ancients, they have the effect of isolating yin and yang. It has the property of suppressing evil spirits."
As a folklore researcher, Tang Qisheng naturally knew a little about the art of geomantic omen, and everyone didn't feel abrupt when he said these words.
"Also, the alley we passed was actually a road of fascination. Some of us were almost deluded. Now it seems that we may have underestimated the power of that road and the true role of that road. It's not for preventing people, but it's the same function as the coffin door, to avoid ghosts.”
"The paint on the walls on both sides is mixed with the blood of dead children, and the blood of resentful children is the heaviest. It has a fatal attraction for those things, so that even if those ghosts really walk into the alley, they will be attracted by the resentful children on the wall. Attracted by the blood of children, you will lose your way, and you will not find the side door of the Hou Mansion all the way."
As soon as Tang Qisheng finished speaking, Li Bai continued: "Even if we can really get rid of the attraction of resentful children's blood and find the door all the way, we will still be blocked by the coffin door, making it difficult to pass."
"That's right, that's it." Tang Qisheng nodded.
"So these arrangements in the Hou's Mansion are all to prevent ghosts from coming to the door." The fat man was terrified when he heard this, and his eyes were not right when he looked at the other courtyard in front of him, "Why is this Zhennan Hou so afraid of ghosts, no, He...how did he know that there would be ghosts coming to the Hou's mansion?"
"Then it depends on what our Zhennan Hou has done."
I have seen many similar things, and Jiang Cheng didn't feel anything special. Find out the truth, and then leave. This is the next task for all of them.
As for what the world will look like in the end, whether Zhennanhou is dead or alive has nothing to do with them. They are just passers-by in this world.
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in the other courtyard, as if several pieces of porcelain were broken, and then there was a loud noise of something falling to the ground, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a woman's scream.
Jiang Cheng and the others who were standing outside the courtyard were startled. The fat man poked his head out and wanted to approach the courtyard door to see what happened, but was stopped by Yao, Shunyu, and at the same time shook him cautiously. Shaking his head, "Don't worry about it, just pretend nothing happened."
The fat man blinked and immediately realized, "Do you think this is a trap?"
"It's possible, otherwise, how could this kind of thing happen right after people entered." Yao, Shunyu felt that everything was wrong since he came to the Hou's mansion, "Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years."
Later, a girl who looked like a maid hurriedly ran out from the inside. The maid didn't even look at the people in Jiangcheng, and shouted as she ran, "Come on, Master Hou is ill again, come on... come on !"
The people in Jiangcheng automatically moved away from the door to let the panic-stricken servant girl pass through, and then watched her run away alone. The servant girl staggered and her expression was full of panic.
After the maid ran away, Lu Qin stared at that direction, with a strange look in her eyes, "It doesn't look like she was pretending to lure us into the bait, did you see just now, this maid's clothes have been torn, and there are also injuries on her arms. , bruises, and scrapes, which match what we just heard."
"She just said that Master Hou's illness has fallen again." Fatty said cautiously: "Could it be that this Lord Hou has some strange disease? Looking at it like this, could it be some kind of madness?"
Zhu Jie snorted coldly, and said something in his words: "If it's really crazy, it's fine, I'm afraid it's just pretending to be crazy."
For some reason, these words instantly brought back a memory in Jiangcheng. It was a long time ago that he was in a deep house like this, the figure singing opera in the lake at night, the obsessive Mr. Huang.
Before he could continue to think, there was a burst of noisy footsteps from far to near, and a dozen servant girls gathered together and ran over in a panic. To everyone's surprise, these people actually held sticks in their hands, There are also things like poles, and the person running in the front has a hemp rope that looks very strong.
Like the maid who rushed out just now, these people also completely ignored Jiang Cheng and the others, and rushed straight into the yard. The aura was not at all as if they were going to treat a disease, but rather like they were going to fight.
Soon, there was the sound of ping-pong-pong in the other courtyard, and there were things knocked down, and the muffled sound of people being hit by sticks and poles. All kinds of sounds were connected together, making it very lively.
Now the fat man couldn't sit still, and kept stretching his neck to look into the yard, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and there were things covering him, so he couldn't see anything, "I said, why don't we just take a look? Do you think that if it was one step later, Master Hou would have been beaten to death by them? Or...or maybe Master Hou would have beaten them all to death."
Hearing this, everyone was also shaken. Things here are not as simple as acting. Necessary caution is necessary, but if you are too cautious, you may miss more. It is reasonable to go in now, and you may find some very secret clues at the same time. , which is very helpful for their next tasks.
"Go, go in and have a look, everyone go together."
Zhang Qizheng took the lead.
But as soon as he stepped into the yard, he bumped into a person head-on, who was panting and had very bad eyes, "What are you doing, masters?"
The person who came was naturally General Yuwen. At this time, General Yuwen's chest heaved violently, and the armor on his body was also slightly skewed, as if he had just escaped from a fierce battle.
Jiang Cheng cupped his hands at General Yuwen, and said in a calm tone: "General, we heard someone yelling that Master Hou was ill, so we thought of going in to have a look. To tell you the truth, General, I also know a little bit about medicine, maybe can help."
Hearing this, General Yuwen's complexion became even worse, "I don't need you, Lord Hou has fought in the battlefield for many years, and he has left some old diseases on his body. The doctors in the mansion have made a diagnosis and treatment, and now there is no problem."
The fat man thought to himself that you are quite an adult, so you came here as soon as you opened your mouth, and you have been diagnosed and treated by a doctor. There is no problem. Where there is a doctor, it is clear that some government soldiers and maids rushed in. I am afraid that the diagnosis of Hou Ye is fake, and he will beat him violently. It's true that it's under control.
At the same time, Fatty suddenly made up a **** drama in his head. Why is the Hou Ye licentious? One of the beautiful wives and concubines got together with the young and vigorous General Yuwen, but the Hou Ye found out and wanted to use stick They beat mandarin ducks and lynched them to death. As a result, General Yuwen took the lead and controlled Lord Hou, as well as the entire Hou family. Just now, Lord Hou knew that someone was coming outside, so he wanted to struggle to break free and ask for help, but Yuwen was killed again. The general's people suppressed it.
The more Fatty thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. If it wasn't like this, why would General Yuwen be so nervous and treat them with this attitude?
Suddenly, the fat man glanced over, and then a chill came over his heart, because General Yuwen was staring at him, and then he took a step forward, "What are you thinking?" He asked the fat man.
Fatty's heart panicked immediately, but after all he had been with the doctor for a long time, he didn't show much on his face, and he pretended to be calm and replied: "I'm just worried about Lord Hou's health, I've heard that Lord Hou is very powerful , is a great figure, a great hero, who will behead the general and capture the flag on the battlefield, but I never thought he would suffer from an old disease."
After finishing speaking, the fat man still pretended to sigh, but he couldn't tell whether it was worry or disappointment.
Seeing the fat man's acting skills becoming more and more proficient, Jiang Cheng fell silent. This fat man is already 5 points ahead of him. Although he is not enough to be alone, it is enough to deceive ordinary people. Even if he is not by his side in the future, Jiang Cheng will feel more at ease. .
Sure enough, this acting really deceived General Yuwen. After the initial dissatisfaction, the latter seemed to realize that his attitude towards these people in front of him was too bad, so he nodded and his tone softened, "I'm sorry Masters, I had a problem with my attitude just now, after all, Master Hou treated me very well, and I was also in a hurry, masters, don't be as knowledgeable as I am."
"Hehe, General Yuwen is serious." Everyone stepped down. After all, from the current point of view, this well-known General Yuwen is also a clue character, and there will be a lot of scenes in the future.
"Master Hou still needs to rest for the time being, and it is inconvenient to see the masters. This is fine. I will let the maids in the mansion take the masters to the residence to rest. When Master Hou rests, I will see you naturally." General Yuwen waved his hand, A maid standing not far behind him came over and faced everyone.
"That's it." Jiang Cheng nodded, "Everything is under the general's arrangement, but the Lord Hou asked me to come here, naturally to solve the strange things in the city, so we also thought before that if we want to solve this matter, we still have to go to the Take a walk around the city to understand the basic situation, after all, it is the first time we have come to Luo'an City, and we don't know enough about the local conditions and customs in the city, I hope the general will agree."
"You want to go out and take a look in the city?"
"Exactly." Yao, Shun and Yu agreed.
General Yuwen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Alright, then you can go for a walk in the city, but remember, don't go too far, the situation in the city is complicated now, please pay attention to safety, I will send someone to protect you."
It's protection, but it's actually surveillance. Everyone knows this, so Jiangcheng wanted to find a reason to shirk it, but General Yuwen was very stubborn on this issue, and there was no room for negotiation. In the end, everyone had to compromise.
At the same time, a strange emotion appeared in General Yuwen's eyes, "By the way, masters, Lord Hou will summon you when he can't tell, so...you can't all go out to the city, at least half of you must stay in the mansion .”
The people left behind are equivalent to hostages. This continuous distrust made everyone feel annoyed, but they had no choice but to agree.
"I'm tired, I'll stay and rest, you guys go out." Zhu Jie took the initiative to express her attitude, her face was sickly pale, as if she hadn't rested for a long time.
Seeing this, Tang Qisheng also said that he would stay, and he was worried about leaving Zhu Jie alone in such a place. Zhu Jie secretly gave him a look that focused on the overall situation, but Tang Qisheng still insisted on staying stay with her.
"I'll stay too." Lu Qin said.
"In that case..." Shao Tong narrowed his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, with an indifferent attitude on his face, "in that case, I'll stay as well, it's really boring, and it's hard for me to come out and play for a while."
"Play?"
Li Bai was a little surprised. She is also a veteran who has experienced many missions, but she still feels very nervous every time she enters the mission world~www.mtlnovel.com~Because this is not a game. With such a difficulty, Shao Tong actually thought he was just playing?
Lu Qin glanced at Shao Tong calmly, and the latter immediately grinned and smiled, "Okay, let me say something wrong, okay, we are here to save the wounded and save the lives of the whole city. A daunting task, hehe."
Although Lu Qin's glance was secretive, because some people had long suspected the relationship between her and Shao Tong, Jiang Cheng and others were keen to capture it, and the relationship between the two became more and more confusing.
This Shao Tong is obviously very powerful, and there is a high probability that the method is still superior to Lu Qin, but such a combination appears here, and it is difficult not to make people guess too much in this sensitive time period.
But now is not the time to think about this, Jiangcheng has more important things to do, his hand inadvertently ran across the pocket of his clothes, and there was a relatively hard thing inside.
He needed someone to identify the piece of armor that Gao Yanqing brought back from his dream.
It can only be investigated secretly. Now that the situation is unclear, the people in the Hou Mansion must never know.
