Chapter 131: The Back of God's Residence 2
Middle-aged people wear traditional village clothes, but they don't seem to match the atmosphere of this village. Their faces are always cold and icy, with their mouths pursed and not smiling. Their dark skin makes their eyes look very bright.
The middle-aged man took a glance at them, and they were carrying large bags and luggage, definitely more than ordinary tourists. This might have raised some suspicions in the middle-aged man, but he quickly spotted Xiao Chonglong, who was accompanied by a five or six-year-old child. The middle-aged man's concerns dissipated, and although his face remained cold, he said, "Come on in."
He spoke very standard Mandarin without any accent, which startled Wen Baiyu, who didn't expect this person's Mandarin to be so fluent and thought he would have to listen to Tian/Shu all the time.
Luo Qifeng parked the car and leaned it against the side of the road. Their car was a bit big, and if they didn't lean it against the side, it would block the village's small path.
The middle-aged man led them in, and soon they heard the sound of a dog barking, still a big dog's voice, barking fiercely. Qi Du had an expression as if he was worried about something, while Wen Baiyu was afraid that Qi Du would rush up to recognize his relatives, and her heart was sweating.
The little girl said a few words towards the house, and the barking gradually subsided.
The small building has two floors, the middle-aged man should be the little girl's father, only the two of them live here, there are many empty rooms, but they seem to have fallen into disrepair, the second floor room is probably used for storing miscellaneous items, when you push open the door a strong smell of smoked meat wafts out.
As soon as the middle-aged man pushed open the door, Wen Baiyu was startled and felt a chill on his back. He saw that the room was dark and had many dried meats hanging from the ceiling, swaying in the wind on the balcony. The color looked like a mummy's, and Wen Baiyu felt that he already had psychological trauma. How could he face smoked meat again in the future?
The middle-aged man gave them a few rooms, and they lived in abundance, but the only problem was that Qi Du wanted to squeeze with Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou, although Qi Du also had a separate room to sleep.
Everyone had been sitting in the car all day, and Wan Xi Jing Hou was worried that Wen Bai Yu's body wouldn't be able to take it. He didn't actually plan on doing anything, but at this time, someone suddenly appeared out of thin air to act as a chaperone. However, Qi Di fundamentally didn't have any awareness of being a chaperone, and with his deep blue eyes shining brightly, he looked up at them.
There were two beds, just right for Wen Baihe and Wan Jingshou to squeeze onto one, leaving Qiduan to sleep on the other. The little ones had small heads, and the earth bed was very wide, so they all slept on top of Qiduan's head with plenty of room to spare.
They arrived just at dusk, and after settling their luggage, they heard a knock on the door. When they opened it, they saw that it was the little girl from this household, holding a large basket with many buns inside, smiling as she handed them to Wen Baiyu. Then she quickly brought over many large bowls of noodles, apparently for them to eat dinner.
The little girl giggled and came in, brought them food, admired Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou for a while, then raised her eyes to see the seven Duan sitting at the table.
Qī Dǔn was also staring at the little girl's braid, Wēn Bái Yǔ's eyelids jumped up and down, she reached out to press it down, afraid that Qī Dǔn would mess with the girl's hair again. Fortunately, Qī Dǔn just curiously looked at it.
The little girl probably saw someone with blue eyes for the first time, was a bit curious, looked at him several more times, and then left.
The noodles were ordinary, but I don't know what kind of wild vegetables they put inside. The soup base was very fresh and delicious. Wen Baiyu ate a big bowl of noodles and was already full. Wan Qi Jinghou had a bigger appetite than him, but there were too many buns. Wen Baiyu wanted to go ask Luo Qifeng if they could eat enough. He went out for a walk and found that the little girl was still very enthusiastic, having prepared a lot of food. The other rooms also had a lot of buns.
Just as Wen Baiyu returned, he was shocked to find that all the pastries in the big basket had been eaten up. Qi Duan stuffed the last pastry into his mouth, seemingly not satisfied, and patted his own belly.
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at Qi Duan holding up the sea bowl, drinking the soup dry, and couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling that Qi Duan's appetite was really not ordinary.
They finished their meal and put away the bowls and chopsticks. Qi Duan hurried to take them out, Wen Baiyu thought that since they didn't speak the same language, it was no big deal if Qi Duan just took out a bowl. But he was wrong, as soon as Qi Duan went out, she met the little girl and gave her the bowls and chopsticks. Wen Baiyu soon heard the sound of the little girl's laughter.
Wen Baiyu looked over and indeed, Qī Dāo was holding onto a little girl's hair. Because Qī Dāo was tall, handsome and always smiling, he looked especially sunny. Although they didn't share a common language, it didn't stop Qī Dāo from smiling at the little girl, who seemed to be amused by him.
Wen Baiyu quickly let go of Qi Duan, and the little girl didn't mind either. She giggled and walked away with her bowl and chopsticks.
Wen Baiyu thought for a long time about how to prevent Qi Du from using his warm and handsome appearance to tease the long-haired beauty...
After dinner, it quickly got dark and everyone didn't want to go out, so they gathered together to study the map drawn by Minggui.
The map drawn by Ming Gui is still a distance away from here, but it doesn't seem far either. Wen Baiyu pointed to the road above and said: "Look in this direction, is it inside this mountain?"
Ming Gui looked out at the terrain, and the sky was already getting dark. The small village wasn't too backward, it had electricity, and some households had turned on their lights, illuminating the night scene quite a bit, making visible a mountain range hidden in the clouds in the distance.
Everyone is here for the first time and is unfamiliar with this place, especially Xiangxi, which has always been depicted as full of mystery.
Ming Gui was looking outwards when he suddenly pointed and asked, "What place is that over there?"
As he spoke, the crowd also gathered at the window. The windows of this small building faced the river, and as soon as they were opened, they could see the flowing water and the distant mountains. Although it was winter, the temperature was not too low, and in front of them was still a vast expanse of greenery. The air was very fresh, and of course, there was also a smell of smoked meat...
However, in this ancient and traditional place, there is a very strange building standing alone, not far from the village, but apparently isolated. The village is surrounded by buildings, also due to the water's edge, that strange building stands out.
And when night falls, that strange building looks dark and hollow, like a haunted house, completely different from the other ancient and elegant small buildings.
If she had to say, Wen Baiyu thought it should be that kind of abandoned building that was constructed halfway but didn't have enough money to continue.
Because it was a bit far away, Wen Baiyu couldn't see very clearly, so she took out the binoculars from her backpack. After all, they had brought very complete equipment and took a look at the distance.
This photo made Wen Baiyu slightly surprised, it was actually a villa.
Villas are common, but seeing one here is a bit strange. This villa was half-built, with windows that were broken and dark inside.
Their telescope was set up by Wan Qi Jing Hou, looking very expensive, with a large magnification factor. With this one glance, the villa can be seen clearly, but it also adds a layer of eerie feeling.
Ye Liu Xiang saw Wen Bai Yu holding a telescope and looking at something with an expression of surprise on his face, saying: "What did you see? Let me take a look too."
Wen Baiyu handed the telescope to Ye Liuxiang and said, "Take a look and see if that's a villa over there."
Ye Liu Xiang heard "villa" and seemed a bit surprised, saying: "Who has so much money to build a villa in this kind of place for vacation?"
He said, looking through the binoculars, "Tsk, tsk, this is not a villa, but rather a haunted house. Has it been abandoned? It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time..."
Ye Liu's eyes scanned the distant villa, while others with good eyesight could only make out a rough outline without binoculars.
Just then, Ye Liu Xiang suddenly let out an "ah" and Rong Qifeng immediately tensed up. It was about time for Ye Liu Xiang's molting, just these two days, but because Rong Qifeng had fed Ye Liu Xiang his own blood, Ye Liu Xiang's molting time always got delayed.
Ye Liuxiang was in a lot of pain when he shed his skin, and everyone could see that. Having suffered so much before, Luo Qifeng couldn't help but feel heartache for him. As soon as Ye Liuxiang cried out, Luo Qifeng jumped in fright and rushed over, anxiously asking: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Liu Xiang's eyes stared at the telescope, his ears couldn't hear again, and he felt Ruo Qi Feng was dazzling him. He turned his head suspiciously and stared at Ruo Qi Feng's lips for a long time before realizing that Uncle was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable if he shed his skin.
Ye Liu Xiang chuckled and said "Hehe", Uncle was so concerned about him, Ye Liu Xiang was naturally delighted, but immediately shouted "Ah" and said: "It's gone!"
Everyone was a bit strange, Wen Baiyu said: "What did you see? What's gone?"
"The leaves rustled as he pointed at the villa across the way. 'There's someone inside,' he said. 'I just saw a person moving around on the second floor, but it wasn't very clear - just a black silhouette.'"
Everyone who heard it felt a chill down their spine, and Ye Liu said: "After being interrupted by Uncle, he disappeared."
Wan Xi Jing Hou took the telescope and looked at the villa they were pointing to. There was no one inside, he looked for about two minutes, still no one appeared, but his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Everyone looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, knowing that this expression must have discovered something. Only Qi Duan held the egg baby, with a look of being out of the situation, probably because he was disgusted by their opening windows and letting in the night wind. He picked up a quilt and then wrapped the egg baby up like a model...
Wan Qi Jing Hou put down his binoculars and said, "I didn't see anyone in the building, but on the second floor by the window, there is a coffin."
"Coffin?!"
The black-painted building is already scary enough, and there's actually a coffin inside, which is even scarier. In the traditional village, there are abandoned villas with coffins placed inside, no matter how you look at it, it feels eerie.
Wen Baiyu took another look and indeed it was a coffin, a black lacquered long rectangular box, but no one had expected that to be a coffin. Wen Baiyu hadn't even noticed it, thinking it was just a cabinet or something similar.
Ye Liu Xiang said: "The black shadow I just saw, won't be a zongzi in the coffin, will it?"
Wen Baiyu said: "I'm thinking, could this villa be a cover for something?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "If it's going to the same place as us, then it should be built in the mountains."
Everyone studied the map for a while, although they were very curious about the strange villa in front of them. However, since it was not their destination and it was too dark to go out, they temporarily gave up. Wen Baiyu planned to ask around the village tomorrow morning.
Everyone thought it was about time and went back to their rooms to sleep, but Qī Dǐn only then hugged the egg baby wrapped in a quilt and went to close the window.
Wen Baiyu was lying on the bed, turned her head and saw Qi Duan hugging Egg Baby preparing to sleep on the floor. Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "Qi Duan, why don't you go up to bed?"
Qī Dǔ raised his head and looked at Wēn Bái Yǔ, then stuck out his tongue to lick his hand and arm, looking like a large dog. Wēn Bái Yǔ's temples suddenly throbbed with anger, she flipped over and picked Qī Dǔ up, putting him on the bed, saying: "Qī Dǔ, do you know you're human? Although perhaps many things have happened to you in the past, they're all over now."
Qī Dǔn listened with a puzzled expression, looking at Wēn Bái Yǔ with a pair of deep blue eyes, tilted her head to the side, but then seemed to understand a bit, stretching out her neck to nuzzle Wēn Bái Yǔ's neck.
Wen Baiyu's hair was too hard, Wen Baiyu's neck itched when he tied it up, Wen Baiyu hated others touching his neck the most. Suddenly, he laughed so hard that he was out of breath. Wan Qi Jing Hou rubbed his temples and scooped up Wen Baiyu with both hands, putting him on the bed opposite, then said to Qi Duan: "Turn off the lights, go to sleep."
Qī dǐn lì kè de pǎo qǐ lái, qù bǎ zhān guāng le, rán hòu bù zài tā zài dì shàng, shàng le chuáng, gài hǎo bèi zi, quán suō zài yī qǐ, jiù xiàng yī tóu láng yí yàng.
As soon as the lights went out, Qi Bai slept faster than anyone else. Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to cover Wen Bai Yu with a quilt and gently pinched Wen Bai Yu's earlobe, saying: "I'm jealous."
Wen Baiyu burst out laughing with a "haha", didn't expect Wan Kuang Jing Hou to be so direct when eating vinegar.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw him smile, pursed his thin lips, and repeated again, saying: "I'm jealous."
"What do you want to do then?"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou immediately stretched out his index finger, tapped his lips, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's lip line was very clear, the shape of his mouth was extremely good-looking, slightly thin, looking a bit cold, his index finger tapped his lips, that action made Su unbearable.
Wen Baiyu's gaze unconsciously gathered on Wan Qi Jinghou's lips, and she felt a little dizzy, stretched out her hand to hold onto Wan Qi Jinghou's back, and bit his lip lightly, although it was thin, but unexpectedly very soft.
Wen Baiyu suddenly laughed and said: "What are you laughing at?"
Wen Baiyu was afraid of disturbing Qi Duan and the little ones' sleep, so she lowered her voice and smiled: "When I kissed you just now, I suddenly felt that your lips were quite bouncy, and the taste was okay."
Wan Xi Jing Hou was speechless for a moment, did Wen Bai Yu just snack on his own lips and even crack his teeth? The pearl balls in the milk tea?
Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said, "Just making do?"
Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "It's satisfactory."
Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and leaned in close to Wen Bai Yu, his voice husky as he said: "Then I'll try you out, see what your taste is like?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't bite his lips, instead he reached out and pressed down on Wen Bai Yu's nape, then lowered his head to gently rub against the base of his throat with his lips, while also extending his tongue to tease Wen Bai Yu's Adam's apple, occasionally using his teeth to lightly nibble.
Wēn Bái Yǔ's throat let out a gentle "hmm...", unsure what kind of trick Wàn Suì Jǐng Hóu was up to, but it felt incredibly comfortable, like Wēn Bái Yǔ's weak spot. She wrapped her arms around Wàn Suì Jǐng Hóu's head, tilted her neck back, and almost voluntarily offered herself to Wàn Suì Jǐng Hóu's lips.
Wan Jie Jing Hou was still teasing Wen Bai Yu's Adam's apple, and Wen Bai Yu was already sweating profusely, panting heavily. Wan Jie Jing Hou helped him wipe away the sweat while pulling up the quilt to prevent him from catching a cold. With his eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he looked like he hadn't had enough. He licked his lower lip, his voice low and husky as he said, "Bai Yu is quite delicious."
Wen Baiyu's face turned red, and she immediately pulled the quilt over her head, feeling like her brain was going to smoke. Wan Xiangjing's gentle licking of his lips was like a movie playing in Wen Baiyu's mind, and it kept replaying in rewind mode.
Wan Jie Jing Hou called out to him twice, but Wen Bai Yu refused to let go, covering his head with the quilt. After a while, Wen Bai Yu fell asleep, and Wan Jie Jing Hou finally pulled down the quilt, chuckled softly, and wrapped Wen Bai Yu in his arms, closing his eyes to sleep as well.
The next morning, Wen Baiyu opened her eyes to find a pair of blue wolf-like eyes staring back at her. They were slightly narrow and long, with a hint of natural wildness that made her jump in fright, almost letting out a scream. She lifted her head to see that Qi Dian was already awake, holding Egg Baby and leaning against the bedside, gazing at her.
Wen Baiyu patted his chest, the little ones were sitting at the table eating, breakfast had already been served, Xiao Xuehua was carefully feeding Xiaoyu breakfast, while Dan/Dan had just gotten out of bed and seemed to still be half asleep, holding up his hand waiting for Xiao Zhilong to help him put on clothes, his head nodding slightly.
Wan Qi Jing Hou was not in the room, and didn't know where he went to do what. Wen Bai Yu put on his outer garment, got out of bed directly, and was putting on his shoes when he saw Wan Qi Jing Hou push open the door and come in, carrying a basin of hot water that was still steaming, which he placed on the table beside him.
Jian Wenbai woke up and Wan Xijing said: "Come over and wash your face."
Wen Baiyu immediately got up from bed, ran over to wash his face with hot water. It was a bit chilly in the early morning, and this place had a relatively large temperature difference between morning and evening, probably due to its proximity to water. The hot water felt comfortable on his face, and Wen Baiyu let out a sigh. Just as he was washing his face, he suddenly felt like he was being summoned like a beast, and when Wan Jingshou raised his hand, he ran over.
It feels like seeing a fire sausage for the first time...
After everyone finished eating, they planned to set off into the mountains for a look. They all carried their luggage and came out. The little girl saw that they were leaving and was quite sad, guessing that this place wouldn't see an outsider for a long time. The little girl was very enthusiastic and brought them many pastries.
Wen Baiyu herself didn't want it, after all the village was so small, this was everyone's food, but Qi Duan seemed to have discovered another delicious thing besides sausage, and very sincerely accepted a basket of buns.
They stayed overnight and ate so much, Wen Baiyu asked Wan Qi Jinghou to leave some money.
Wen Baiyu didn't understand and couldn't speak the local dialect, so Luo Qifeng asked a little girl how to climb the mountain and which side was easier.
Although Wen Baiyu didn't understand, the little girl's expression suddenly became serious, then she turned her head and went into the house. Before long, the middle-aged man also came out.
The middle-aged man said: "Are you going into the mountains?"
Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "We want to take a casual walk. The mountain in front looks pretty good, we want to go in and take a look."
The middle-aged man looked them up and down and said, "What kind of people are you?"
The middle-aged man said, and let the little girl go back to her room first. The little girl was reluctant to leave, taking three glances back before entering the room.
Wen Baiyu was taken aback, not expecting a middle-aged man to ask them this. Wen Baiyu looked down at himself and seemed normal enough, but when he looked up, it seemed like no one else was normal except for him.
For example, Wan Kuang Jing Hou, this point is not to be said, always with a high cold face, speaking and doing things very stylish, even Xiao Chong Long followed him in the same mold.
There is also Ming Gui, who has a poker face and doesn't know if it's because he's been the head of the sect for too long, but in any case, there is an aura about him.
It goes without saying that it's poor, although the ears and tail have been changed back, but from top to bottom, it reveals a sense of a large dog, and is somewhat similar to Qī Dǐn.
Finally, there's Qiao Qifeng and Ye Liuxiang. Qiao Qifeng has been on the road for a long time and is tall and handsome, but he always sports a short beard, which makes him look fierce. Ye Liuxiang may have a smiling face, but his eyes are always darting around, making him seem mischievous and full of evil intentions...
Wen Baiyu had a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears. Among these people, there was the famous Jing Ye from the Daoist sect, old hand Luo Daishu, and a leader of a faction, all carrying so much equipment - weren't they afraid of being discovered?
Wan Kuang Jing Hou was not in a hurry, he looked up and down at the middle-aged man and said: "We just want to go up the mountain and take a look."
Middle-aged man said: "Going up the mountain? You are country bumpkins?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "We are the same as you."
As soon as he said this, Wen Baiyu was startled and couldn't help but take a closer look at the middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, and Wen Baiyu thought that everyone in the village was like this because they had to go up the mountain to chop firewood, but she didn't expect it was because of the earth husband's reason?
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Wan Kuang Jing Hou to guess himself.
A middle-aged man said: "I've washed my hands and stopped, I stopped washing my hands twenty years ago. I advise you not to go up the mountain either, just for that little bit of money, it's going but not coming back."
Wen Baiyu listened more and more puzzled, saying: "What's on the mountain?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Since you've come, why pretend to be stupid? Not many people know about this matter, I'm afraid you're also listening to 'him'."
Wen Baiyu was getting more and more puzzled, when he saw the middle-aged man suddenly lift up his sleeve, revealing a huge scar on his arm. It didn't matter how many years had passed, but it still looked so hideous. Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the scar, feeling that if it were any deeper, it would have cut off his arm entirely.
The middle-aged man said: "Anyway, I've said what I wanted to say, whether you believe it or not is up to you."
The middle-aged man seemed to have given up on Wen Baihe and said, "And don't come back again."
Ono no Komachi felt they were being driven out...
Everyone got out of the door, got on the car, and sat in the car. Wen Baiyu still didn't react and said, "What's up with that uncle?"
Ye Liu Xiang Mo stroked his chin and said, "Obviously there's some treasure on the mountain. That person dug it up back then, but definitely didn't find anything, and instead got a body full of injuries."
Wen Baiyu said: "I'm more concerned about who 'he' is and who exactly said what 'he' said."
Wen Baiyu was completely bewildered, his heart itching with anxiety. Wan Jingshou said: "No matter who 'he' is, it proves one thing - there's indeed something in this mountain, and someone has discovered it before us. However, it seems they haven't found it yet."
Wen Baiyu pointed to a distant villa and said, "There's also an unfinished villa over there. I wonder if it was built by 'him'."
Ye Liu Xiang laughed and said: "This is easy, let's go into the villa and take a look."
Luo Qifeng started the car and drove forward for a while. The village road was very difficult to navigate, with some places where the car couldn't even get through. They met many villagers on the way, but only a few could speak Mandarin.
Luo Qifeng could understand some of the local dialect here, but he really couldn't speak it, and had great difficulty communicating. Wan Jinhou was the same way.
They spent a lot of time before finding an elderly man at the village entrance who could speak Mandarin, but he spoke very slowly and needed to think for a long time.
Luo Qifeng asked about the road up the mountain, and the old man pointed to the mountain road, saying: "Go up the mountain on this road, but whatever you do, don't go too deep. The people in our village just cut firewood around the mountain, it's not safe to go inside."
Wen Baiyu curiously asked why he couldn't go.
The old man said: "There are immortals in the mountains... they don't like outsiders going to disturb them."
Wen Baiyu didn't expect the conclusion she got was actually like this.
The old man continued: "If someone enters the mountain and disturbs the gods, the gods will make this person accompany him! You are outsiders, so you don't know, our mountain has been sealed off, and at that time many people went up the mountain to pull the line. We didn't know there were gods in the mountains before, but strange things happened later. This mountain has a very high peak, as long as someone gets there, they will see the gods, and the gods will make this person accompany him. Isn't it strange? These people will jump down from the top of the mountain without hesitation! They'll be smashed to pieces, their bodies floating in the water, rushing down from upstream, you see, just flowing into this small river. Those days, every now and then, we could see a smashed person being washed down, all were killed by jumping off the mountain. The village is so big, everyone knows each other, and there are newlyweds, you say, if it's not the gods who find them, why would they jump off the mountain for no reason?"
Wen Baiyu found it somewhat strange, feeling that they were not gods, but rather seemed to have been possessed by evil spirits. He didn't know what was on the mountain top, but after seeing it, they became possessed, perhaps jumping down themselves or perhaps falling down due to losing their footing.
"How many years ago was this?"
The old man thought for a moment, smacked his lips, and after a long while said: "More than twenty years ago."
Everyone seems to have received an incredible message. Similarly, more than 20 years ago, this village was too small, so it's impossible for two coincidences to collide.
Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, pointing to the villa in the distance and said: "I see that you're building villas here, why did you build half of it and stop?"
The old man's face turned ugly when he mentioned this matter, looking particularly gloomy and fearful. "Don't mention that villa again, it's a haunted house."
Wen Baiyu was somewhat surprised, it really is a haunted house?
The old man said: "That was also over 20 years ago, at that time really happened too many things. At that time there was a person who came to our village, and he hadn't traveled much before. After he arrived, he looked around and said he wanted to build a house here. That person had a lot of money and hired many people to build the house, which is this one. However, later on, I don't know why it stopped construction. Later, the people who built the house for him, I don't know why, either jumped off a cliff or died mysteriously inside that house. It was too scary. That house also doesn't know when it stopped construction, and everyone ran away, never to be seen again. Many kids were brave and liked to run in and play, but they all got scared out. It's said that the place is haunted, and at midnight you can see ghostly fires burning, which is really too scary."
Wen Baiyu said: "Why don't we just demolish this building?"
The old man said: "We also want to demolish, but we can't. After dark, it's said that someone passing by from the side can hear footsteps coming from inside the building, and there are black shadows walking around. It's said that they are the ghosts of those who died, they have nowhere to go, so they can only linger here. If we demolish it, they will go to harm others."
Wen Baiyu remembered what Ye Liuxiang said, he saw someone's shadow inside the building, and Wan Kuangjinghou also said that there was a coffin in the building, and this building was built twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, a villa that had stopped work, jumped off a mountain for no reason, "he said", all these things happened together, making Wen Baiyu have to pay attention.
Wen Baiyu asked again who the person was that built the villa, but Lao Da couldn't remember, saying: "It's been too long, I really can't remember, what was his surname... it seemed to be Xie."
Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "Surnamed Xie?"
Suddenly, Xie Lin and Xie Yan appeared in his mind.
The old man said: "It should be this surname, I'm not familiar with that person, but back then he lived in the house at the village entrance, they should be familiar. Twenty years ago, it was a 30- or 40-year-old man, who looked very sloppy and a bit fat, and spoke hesitantly."
Wen Baiyu turned his head and took a look, the house that Lao Da pointed to was not the one where the middle-aged man and a little girl stayed overnight last night.
Listening to Lao Da/Ye describe it like this, it seems that it's not Xie Linxiang and Xie Yan, but rather more like the two uncles' description of Xie Kuai/Zi.
Xie's obsession with the Queen Mother of the West's country has reached a crazy level, if Xie really built this building, it means that this place is indeed related to the Queen Mother of the West.
Everyone thanked Lao Da and then headed towards the mountain road.
Wen Baiyu said: "Actually, I think we should go to that villa before going up the mountain."
Ye Liu Xiang was also interested in the villa and said: "But I think we should go at night, so as not to attract attention, and..."
"What's more?" said Wen Baiyu.
"And it feels even more fun."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu felt a bit helpless, but he did agree to go again at night. After all, the boss said that's when people would be around, and if the zongzi in the coffin really came back to life, they could lend a hand and not let the zongzi keep sneaking out at night.
Everyone agreed to go take a look at the haunted house that night, so now Luo Qifeng drove the car up the mountain. At first, there was still a road, but later the road became very difficult to walk on, and they had no choice but to stop the car.
Many people carried their luggage and walked up the mountain. Along the way, you could see that the trees in the lower areas had been cut down almost completely, with branches scattered all over the ground. It was probably due to repeated logging, which made it look a bit messy. However, as we continued to walk upwards, the trees began to grow denser again. From here on, there were no more footprints.
Wen Baihe and they walked for about twenty minutes, then saw the "line" that Lao Da said, a huge red rope, which was very eye-catching. It's estimated that because red can avoid evil, so use such an eye-catching red rope.
The red rope is very long, pulled far away, winding around the trees one by one, surrounding a huge circle, blocking the road. It's definitely not to let naughty kids run up, it looks magnificent and has some inexplicable deterrent power.
Everyone crouched down and crawled through the rope, continuing to move forward. After a while, the trees were not as dense, and finally didn't have to tiptoe anymore. Everyone found a place to stop, after all, there was nothing here except for trees, afraid of getting lost and unable to find the way down the mountain.
Everyone put down their luggage and started pitching the tent. It was still a while before noon, they had to wait until evening to go down the mountain to see the villa, and there was still an afternoon to spare. They could also take a nap in the tent in the afternoon, and then have energy at night.
Wan Qi Jing Hou lit a bonfire, and the others started setting up tents. They brought a large tent that was big enough for everyone to live in together. In fact, when camping outdoors, using small tents is not as safe as living together, but with a large tent, there's also the risk of Wan Qi Jing Hou making sudden movements and being seen by others.
Wen Baiyu was setting up the tent while secretly glancing at Wan Kuang Jinghou. Wan Kuang Jinghou happened to look up and smiled at Wen Baiyu, who suddenly said: "Were you born in December? You like having frozen hands and feet."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled at Wen Bai Yu's sarcastic remark, thought for a moment and said: "I don't remember when I was born either, but even if it wasn't in the twelfth lunar month, being born on the north side of the mountain where it's cold and gloomy, I'm sure my hands and feet were frozen too."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu was thoroughly defeated, it turns out it's like this!
Everyone had pitched their tents and it was already time for lunch.
Everyone sat around in a circle, with Qi Dai holding the egg baby. Even during the daytime, their eyes were shining brightly as they stared at the pot on the fire pit, and they were so hungry that they almost drooled.
They brought the cake that had gone cold, and Wen Baiyu warmed it up in a pot. Seeing Qi Diao staring at the white cake with such longing, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, so she handed him a slice of white cake first.
Seven delightedly couldn't help it, and hugged a white pancake to eat.
Wen Baiyu then peeled/opened the sausage and put it in the pot to stir-fry, a ordinary sausage was stirred by Wen Baiyu, and the aroma suddenly wafted out, Qi Duan who had just eaten a pancake ran over to stare at the pot.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but smile, Qi Du stretched out his head and rubbed Wen Baiyu's palm. Wan Jingshou walked over and sat down between Wen Baiyu and Qi Du. Qi Du immediately began to rub against Wan Jingshou, rubbing so hard that Wan Jingshou's face turned black.
The little girl brought the cake, and Qi Bao ate a whole meal. Ye Liu Xiang smiled and said: "I feel like the dry food we brought is not enough, what kind of breed are you raising, it can eat so much?"
Everyone had eaten and cleaned up the pot, after eating their fill, they all felt a bit sleepy. The sunlight in the woods wasn't very good, it was all blocked out, just like on a cloudy day. This kind of weather is most suitable for sleeping. Looking at the time, there's still enough time to get a good sleep before nightfall.
Everyone then crawled into the tent, Wen Baiyu lay down, Wan Qi Jinghou stretched out his hand to hold him, Qi Duan originally wanted to snuggle up to Wen Baiyu, but was blocked by Wan Qi Jinghou and could only lie behind him, then hugged Egg Baby and started snoring.
Wan Jie Jing Hou's index and middle fingers were pinching a strand of Wen Bai Yu's hair, because she had lain down, Wen Bai Yu had already untied the rope, her hair was scattered, Wan Jie Jing Hou said: "You'd better cut your hair short."
"What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "This way, Qi Zhen will no longer pester you."
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Wan Jingshou had a completely calm expression on his face, as if saying, "Yes, I'm just jealous."
Wen Baiyu actively kissed his lips and smiled: "The flavor of the fried sausage is a bit sour."
Wan Kuang Jing Hou immediately turned over, pinning Wen Bai Yu under him and said: "It's still early, let's do something else."
"No, I want to sleep, it's still busy at night."
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and kissed Wen Bai Yu's lips, saying: "Alright, you sleep, I'll sleep with you."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu's eyelid twitched, and since it was a large tent, she indeed heard a "haha" laughter coming from not far away. Wen Baiyu felt that this must not be a coincidence, Ye Liuxiang must have "heard" Wan Qi Jinghou's words of teasing.
As expected, Ye Liu Xiang laughed and said to Luo Qi Feng: "Uncle, uncle, learn from others, hurry up and sleep with me, hurry up and sleep with me!"
Lu Qifeng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Ye Liuxiang kicked off the quilt and hugged himself like an octopus. Lu Qifeng had no choice but to cover the two of them with his own quilt, saying: "Go to sleep quickly, you'll have to get up again later tonight. You haven't been feeling well lately, don't be too tired."
Ye Liuxiang hugged Luo Qifeng for a while, seemingly being coquettish. With her petite figure and extremely cute appearance, this kind of coquettishness made Luo Qifeng's heart skip a beat. However, he also felt heartache knowing that Ye Liuxiang was about to molt soon, which would be very physically exhausting, so he didn't dare to make any improper moves on her.
"Uncle, uncle, I'm hungry."
Luo Qifeng said: "Didn't you just have lunch?"
Ye Liu Xiang shook his head and then raised his face, narrowing a pair of lively big eyes, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick the Adam's apple on Rong Qi Feng's throat.
Luo Qifeng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood. It turned out that Ye Liuxiang wanted to drink blood.
Luo Qifeng thought that Ye Liuxiang would still be following him at night, and recently he had to molt, his physical strength would definitely not keep up. He stretched out his hand to hold Ye Liuxiang, raised his neck and said: "Okay, you drink."
The leaves rustled with a soft, giggling sound, her lips pressed against them, first rubbing gently several times, then stretching out her tongue to lick and explore, as if searching for the perfect spot to take a bite.
Lu Qi Feng was licked by his hot tongue, and after a breath, he became rough. Ye Liu Xiang felt Lu Qi Feng's Adam's apple rolling, and it was getting faster and faster. He smiled and said, "Uncle, it'll be okay soon."
Ye Liu Xiang suddenly bared his sharp teeth and bit down on Luo Qi Feng's neck.
Luo Qifeng let out a loud "huff" and his breathing became hot.
Wen Bai's ears were filled with the rough, panting sound of Lu Qi Feng. The voice was really unclear whether it was painful or excited, and every time Ye Liu Xiang drank blood, it made people unable to look straight at him, yet it wasn't bloody...
The voice on that side changed quickly, the sound of leaves rustling was like a kitten meowing, softly saying: "Uncle, it hurts so much, be gentle, be gentle..."
Wen Baiyu felt that the big tent was still a wrong choice, Wan Qi Jinghou found that the person in his arms had a increasingly hot face, and smiled: "Let you sleep, but you can't sleep again?"
Wen Baiyu thought to herself, can I be blamed for this? It's all because they didn't sleep well on the other side. Before long, the soft voices of Gu Qi and Ming Gui talking again could be heard.
"Corpse face, how can you use a needle on me again? It's too thick..."
...
The words had not been spoken yet, when Ming Gui's face suddenly turned black, and with a swift motion, he jabbed a golden needle into Qiong Qi's neck. Qiong Qi's mouth was instantly sealed shut, unable to utter another word, and his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Ming Gui.
Wen Bai Yu fell asleep in a daze, feeling like she was about to take those sounds as background noise.
Wen Baiyu woke up feeling a bit hot, not sure if it was because of Wan Jingshou's tight hug. The others were still asleep, probably exhausted from the commotion earlier. Now they're all sleeping soundly. The little ones sleep especially well, kids can eat and sleep anytime.
Wen Baiyu felt hot and wanted to sit up, but when she turned her head, she found that Wan Kuang Jing Hou was still fast asleep, so she didn't move.
Wen Baiyu tilted her head, carefully observing Wan Jie Jing Hou's sleeping face. The eyelashes were as long as Wan Jie Jing Hou's, but much more adorable. Upon closer inspection, Wen Baiyu found that Wan Jie Jing Hou's eyelashes were extremely long, and even cast a small shadow on his cheek due to the way they lay still in sleep. The roots of his eyelashes were thick and dense, like a brush. Seeing this made Wen Baiyu's heart skip a beat. If he were to blink, she estimated it would be just as powerful as an electric fan, capable of blowing people away with just his eyelashes...
Looking down, even with closed eyes, the shape of the eyes is extremely perfect. The sleeping silkworms have a slightly faint feeling due to their closed state. This pair of eyes themselves are very contradictory, with a sharp shape that's a bit cold, but the sleeping silkworms below make them appear gentle and enchanting. It's said that people who like sleeping silkworms naturally give others a sense of concern. Wen Baiyu thought of Wan Jingshou narrowing his eyes, and the sleeping silkworms also deepened with narrowed eyes, indeed having a kind of gentle concern. However, this action isn't something everyone has seen.
Her nose was extremely straight, so straight that it seemed a bit cold, but she didn't feel like an eagle hook, the curvature of her nose made Wen Baiyu want to lean forward and take a bite.
When Wen Baiyu found out, she had already leaned forward and bitten a mouthful of Wan Kuangjing's nose tip...
Wen Baiyu thought that at the time, it was absolutely a brain short circuit. Otherwise, how could he have thought of biting Wan Qi Jinghou, such a vigilant person? Indeed, Wan Qi Jinghou immediately opened his eyes and even had a smiling expression, just like Wen Baiyu's imagination. The sleepy eyes under him suddenly became clear and gentle.
Wan Xi Jing Hou pinched Wen Bai Yu's chin, his voice a little hoarse from the afternoon nap, and said, "Attacking me again?"
Wen Bai's face turned red and she said, "What do you mean by 'again'?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Because it's not the first time."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Wen Baiyu said: "I just saw you sleeping so soundly, I thought of disturbing you."
Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately closed his eyes and said: "Alright, I'm sleeping. You can continue to sneak up on me."
The warm white feather energy's seven orifices produced smoke, and Wan Xi Jing Hou had a very calm demeanor, allowing himself to be ambushed.
Wen Baiyu looked at him with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth raised, and couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. He immediately leaned in, wrapped his hands around Wan Jingshou's head from behind, and pressed his lips down. The result was an immediate "hmm" sound. Wan Jingshou suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing became heavy, he reached into Wen Baiyu's clothes, pinched his waist, sucked on the tip of Wen Baiyu's tongue, and smiled saying: "Baiyu is really taking the initiative today."
Wan Jingshou's movements suddenly became intense, pinning Wen Baiyu underneath him. Wen Baiyu had no idea he had pressed Wan Jingshou's switch; the latter's face had changed from gentle to savage in an instant. He was crazily kissing Wen Baiyu's lips, forehead, and then went on to bite his neck.
Wen Baiyu tried his best not to make a sound, but tightly hugged Wan Jingshou. Wan Jingshou kissed his neck and asked, "Baiyu, does it feel good?"
Wen Bai's mind was a mess, and all she could think about was that the others mustn't wake up, no matter what. But at the rate Wang Qi Jing Hou was going, they'd probably meet again tomorrow morning, and if the others weren't awake by then, something would be off.
Just as Wen Baihe was about to be kissed by Wan Kuang Jinghou, Qi Di, who was lying beside them, suddenly flipped over and sat up abruptly.
As the sky darkened, the tent grew even darker, and Qi's eyes suddenly opened wide, emitting a cold blue light that scared Wen Baiyu into tightly embracing Wan Kuang Jing Hou, his whole body trembling with fear, and he immediately ejaculated.
Qī dǐn fān shēn qǐlai, bǎ dàn bǎobǎo fàng zài dìshang, ránhòu kuài sù de chōng chū zhàngpéng, yí xià jiù xiāoshī le.
Translation:
Seven suddenly got up, put the egg baby on the ground, and then quickly rushed out of the tent, disappearing in an instant.
Wen Baiyu himself was almost killed by Wan Jiahao, and after being scared by Qi Du, his mind kept buzzing with the sound of "humming", and he was about to develop psychological trauma.
Qidun's movements were extremely large, rushing out of the tent and making a "huff-huff" sound. The others immediately woke up, and they didn't look like they had just woken up, but rather looked like they had been listening to the scene unfold before them.
Ming Gui immediately opened the tent and rushed out.
The crowd followed closely and rushed out of the tent. Outside, the sky had already darkened, and the forest was even darker, but the road could still be seen clearly as they ran forward with the sound of footsteps.
Running forward a few steps, there was actually a river flowing, the water rushing down from the mountain, not too urgent, but also not slow. Ming Gui was standing by the river, with someone lying at his feet. As everyone walked over to take a look, they didn't need to examine closely to know it was a dead person, and their body had swollen up, apparently having been soaked in water for quite some time, already dead for some time.
Looking at the clothes on the corpse, it should be someone from the village. The whole body is covered in bruises and abrasions, some of which are quite frightening. There's a big hole in the head.
Wen Baiyu suddenly thought of what Lao Da said, "There are immortals on the mountain top, and people who go up the mountain will all jump down from above." It seems that this corpse was washed down the river to the foot of the mountain. If they hadn't discovered it, it might have been washed into the village later.
Only Ming Gui is standing here, and Qi Duan is nowhere to be seen.
Wen Baiyu was just about to ask Qi Duan when a low growl came from not far away, followed by the sound of "Hoo---hooo---".
Wan Xi Jing Hou beckoned and said: "Come this way."
The crowd quickly drilled into the forest, and then they saw Qi Duan. There was a blood mark on Qi Duan's face, and his eyes emitted a deep blue cold light in the dimly lit forest, staring at the direction of going down the mountain.
Everyone asked Qi Du what he saw, but Qi Du couldn't express it either. Ming Gui didn't see anything, when he rushed over at that time, he just saw Qi Du chasing a black shadow running towards the distance, and the corpse lying on the riverbank.
The corpse was obviously jumped down from the mountain, should be a villager, people can't let it rot in this place, now the plan has changed, just disassemble the tent, wrap the corpse with cloth, and then carry it down the mountain.
They came down the mountain and entered the village when it was already dark. The tall, dark middle-aged man happened to meet them, saw them stunned, and obviously didn't welcome their arrival.
But soon the village was in an uproar, as Wen Baiyu and his men brought back a corpse, another one that had jumped off the mountain.
The body was soon identified and taken away, it turned out to be a local villager who had gone into the mountains to chop firewood and hadn't returned for two days, no one knew where he went, they searched everywhere nearby but couldn't find him, unexpectedly he ended up at the top of the mountain and fell to his death.
Because Wen Baihe and others brought the body back, it was so late that the young girl asked them to stay overnight. Although the middle-aged man was unwilling, he didn't want to explain the reason to his daughter, so they stayed again.
Wen Baiyu wanted to take the opportunity to ask around, because more than 20 years ago, that person with the surname Xie lived in the middle-aged man's house, and at that time there was no little girl yet.
The middle-aged man seemed to know he was about to ask questions, and immediately said: "Don't ask anything, I won't say anything. More than 20 years have passed, these old things, no one wants to hear them again, and no one wants to mention them again."
The more middle-aged people say so, the more curious Wen Baiyu becomes, and she doesn't know what happened back then.
The crowd went upstairs again, familiar with the road, still in the room last night.
Although their plan had changed a bit, their goal remained the same - to sneak into that abandoned villa again after dark when everyone was asleep.
Because there were too many people, they all went to attract attention, so they decided to leave Ruo Qi Feng and Ye Liu Xiang to watch, of course, as well as Qi Duan and the little ones, while the other four people left.
Ye Liuxiang was quite unwilling, he had long wanted to go to the haunted house, but when he finally went, he was left behind instead. However, Ye Liuxiang is about to molt soon, and he can't hear any sounds, it's also dark outside, what if he encounters danger?
Ye Liu responded with a coquettish tone, but this set of words was only something that Luo Qi Feng could stomach, and he also wanted to stay behind, so it was completely useless.
After dinner in the evening, Wen Baiyu pushed open the window and took a look. Outside, the flickering flames were not from lights, but someone burning paper money by the riverbank.
It must be because someone had just died that the villagers thought it was a god, so they burned some paper money and asked the god not to take away their family members.
Today's moonlight is particularly bright, the villagers are burning paper money by the river, sparks flying wildly with the wind, and also put paper lanterns on the river water, which drifted away in no time, outside the stars are twinkling, looking a bit mysterious.
Because someone died today, the villagers are resting late. Normally when it gets dark, no one goes out of their houses, but now there are still many people outside and it seems they will be going out for a long time.
Wen Baiyu held the telescope to look at the abandoned villa in front of her, the black coffin was still there, Wen Baiyu looked for a while and didn't see anyone.
The little ones got a bit sleepy after eating, so Wen Baiyu told them all to go to bed and rest. Qi Duan wanted to follow them, but Wen Baiyu asked Qi Duan to keep an eye on the little ones, along with Luo Kui Feng and Ye Liu Xiang by their side, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Qī dǐn was very obedient, holding the egg baby and went to bed. The wound on his face had been applied with medicine, because the wound wasn't very deep, it didn't need bandaging, and now it should be healing, maybe a bit itchy. Qī dǐn closed his eyes, stuck out his tongue and tried to lick, but he couldn't reach his own cheek, looking quite amusing.
After it got late and everyone had finally gone to rest, there was no sound in the room.
They must have gone out and definitely couldn't walk through the front door. The middle-aged man was also a rustic scholar before, I don't know how his hearing is, Wan Qi Jing Hou planned to climb down the window directly.
Wen Baiyu pushed open the window, and the small building was built by the water. It looked pretty good, but under the window, it was directly water, no place to walk, only a narrow edge about three fingers wide.
Wan Qi Jing Hou looked down and beckoned to Wen Bai Yu, who walked over to the window. If he wanted to go down, he would definitely have to step on the windowsill. The room below seemed to be a middle-aged person's room, and it was unknown whether they would make any noise.
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw his worried and bitter face, softly said: "I'll carry you on my back, just hold onto my neck tightly."
Wen Baiyu said, leaning on the back of Wan Jijinghou, with both hands embracing his neck. Wan Jijinghou immediately jumped onto the windowsill, moving extremely quickly, as if he were not carrying any weight at all.
Wan Kuang jumped onto the windowsill and laughed, saying: "Hold on tight."
Wen Baiyu hadn't even had time to nod before Wan Jingshou suddenly let go with both hands, and Wen Baiyu almost shouted out. Their movements were like a jump through the window, although it was only two stories high. However, Wan Jingshou's legs had incredible springiness, and he landed heavily on the windowsill of the first floor, then grabbed hold with both hands and continued to jump down, landing on the three-inch-wide ledge. He quickly followed along the ledge and rounded the small building.
After Wan Jingshou jumped down, he didn't put Wen Baiyu down and continued to move forward. Wen Baiyu said: "The place on the first floor is that person's room, right? I saw it earlier and the lights were off inside, it seemed like no one was there?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't notice and also didn't know if there was anyone holding back inside.
When they came down, Ming Gui and Qiong Qi were already there. Qiong Qi looked at Wen Baiyu with disdain and smiled: "You actually let someone carry you."
Wen Baiyu's old face turned red, and he immediately said: "It looks more intimate when carried on the back."
While saying that, he also pinched Wang Hou's ear and said: "Right or not?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou smiled and nodded in cooperation. Qiong Qi's eyes widened, clearly having never heard of such a saying before. As a result, he pounced on Ming Gui's back with a loud "thud".
To know that Qiong Qi's physique is even more robust than Wen Baiyu, almost surpassing Shang Xuefeng. He suddenly pounced, and a cow could be knocked flying with one headbutt. Ming Gui didn't expect him to go mad suddenly, and was knocked off balance by the collision. He caught Qiong Qi as he jumped up, and Qiong Qi wrapped his legs around Ming Gui's waist.
Ming's face turned very dark and he said: "Are you itching all over and want me to use a needle to prick you?"
Qiong Qi was immediately frightened, revealing a terrified expression, and then subconsciously covered his buttocks with both hands.
Mei Gui: *silence*
Ming Gui suddenly got a headache, gritted his teeth and said with a paralyzed face that finally had some expression: "I've told you countless times, I didn't use a needle to prick you."
Qiong Qi furrowed his brow and said: "But... but you've already pierced into my body, haven't you?"
Mei Gui: *silence*
Ming Gui was speechless and didn't plan to bother with Qiong Qi, but Qiong Qi kept clinging to him. Even when Wen Baiyu came down from Wan Qi Jing Hou's body, Qiong Qi still held onto Ming Gui without letting go. Ming Gui had no choice but to carry Qiong Qi on his back as he moved forward.
The four of them walked forward quickly, and all around was extremely quiet, without a single sound. Occasionally, they could hear the chirping of insects.
Qiong Qi was still entangled in what had just happened, and after some deliberation, he said, "It wasn't a needle prick, so what exactly was it?"
The demon king didn't think he was still entangled in this issue, and felt a bit helpless, saying: "Shut up, if you ask me again I'll really use a needle to poke you."
Qiong Qi felt quite wronged and rolled his eyes, saying: "Dead man's face."
Just then, Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly let out a "hiss" sound, and Wen Bai Yu was startled, saying: "What's that noise?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "There is someone."
Besides them, there were still people moving around in the village. Who would be strolling around in the village at midnight?
The crowd lingered for a moment, but the sound disappeared instantly and there was no more sound. Wan Xi Jing Hou made a gesture, and the crowd continued to move forward.
The villa arrived quickly, with a total of two floors. The external framework was already complete, and the windows were also installed, but due to the long years, all the windows were shattered. It looked more ominous up close than from afar.
The villa's exterior also had a rope, but it wasn't red. The crowd crawled over the rope and entered. The villa's large gate was very dilapidated and unlocked. Wen Baiyu gently pushed open the door, immediately making a "creak" sound. Even if she didn't want to make a noise, the broken door still made quite a commotion.
As soon as the door opened, Wen Baiyu let out a "hiss" and saw that on the ceiling of the first floor, three or four objects were hanging upside down, all wrapped in black cloth, resembling corpses. Because the moonlight was relatively bright today, they didn't need to use flashlights and could see clearly. The wind blew through the broken windows, causing the hanging objects wrapped in black cloth to sway back and forth.
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her voice, saying: "A corpse?"
But he finished speaking and felt that something was off, how could it be a corpse, if it was a corpse, it was too small, was it the corpse of an infant? Or was it dismembered remains?
Wen Baiyu felt more and more terrified, Wan Qi Jinghou stretched out his hand to stop everyone, his eyes quickly scanned the room, because the room was very empty, basically one floor was just a large hall, everything was in sight.
Apart from these "corpses" hanging upside down, everything else seems normal.
Wan Xi Jing Hou patted the back of Wen Bai Yu's hand, seemingly to comfort her, then slowly walked towards those "corpses", one hand grasping the dragon scale dagger, the other hand reaching out, quickly grabbing the black cloth, and shook it!
Ming Gui pressed his right hand on the back of his left hand, waiting for the zongzi to resurrect. If it did, he would immediately press out a few golden needles from the back of his hand.
As Wan Gui Jing Hou's hand shook, the black cloth was immediately torn off.
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she almost blurted out some foul language. It wasn't a corpse at all, but rather cured meat hanging from the ceiling!
Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, reached out and pulled down the other black cloths, only to find that they were all smoked meat. Whatever dead children, whatever fragmented corpses, it was all just too much imagination...
Everyone was stunned, and the joke had gone too far. Wen Baiyu walked over, took a closer look, and indeed it was smoked meat. Because it was wrapped in black cloth, there wasn't much of an odor. Once unwrapped, the smell of smoked meat wafted out, and the color of the meat looked normal as well. It definitely wasn't the meat from smoked glutinous rice balls.
Wen Bai's eyelids twitched and she said: "Who put this smoked meat here? This is too ridiculous!"
This place is a haunted house, with ropes outside, definitely not allowed for kids to play, even if you have the guts, you won't come here to play, let alone dry meat in the haunted house, unless you're crazy.
Qiu Qi sniffed the bacon and said, "It smells great, just like the smoked meat in the noodles we had for dinner tonight."
He looked at Ming Gui and said, "Can we take these smoked meats away?"
The ghost of Ming jumped straight into the sun hole, his hand back blue tendon suddenly sprang out, and a golden needle suddenly appeared, scaring Qiong Qi to tremble with fear.
Wen Baiyu said: "Who did this?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Let's go take a look."
Everyone went around in circles on the first floor and found that there was no different place. All the rooms were empty with no furniture at all.
Everyone followed the stairs to the second floor. The second floor had many rooms, all of which were closed but not locked, and they entered easily. Compared to the first floor, the second floor looked very formal and had obviously been used before, rather than being abandoned all along.
The room on the second floor is empty, but there are tables and cabinets in it.
They entered the first room and saw a table covered with dust, several chairs around it, and there were quite a few chairs.
Wan Xi Jing Hou furrowed his brow and said: "It seems that the number of people who knew about it twenty years ago is still considerable."
Wen Baiyu also noticed this, there were many chairs, and compared to the tables, these chairs could hardly be placed, it looked like a group of people.
All that was left was a cabinet, an ancient iron cabinet, which seemed to be used for storing files, but in this gloomy environment, it looked like a freezer in a morgue.
Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, and there was a lot of dust on the cabinet, which looked like no one had touched it.
Wan Xi Jinghou used the dragon-scale dagger to hook onto the scabbard, and with a "creak", the cabinet opened. A musty smell wafted out from inside.
Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses, took a few steps back, and as a result saw that there were many things in the cabinet, some iron hoes and iron rakes, which looked very old and heavy, should be used for local farming, don't know where they came from.
Because this place has river water, the weather itself is humid, these things have already rusted, revealing a musty smell, and the wooden handle is almost growing mushrooms.
Underneath the cabinet was a small drawer. When Wang Xizhi continued to pull it open, he saw two glass jars inside and heard the sound of "squeak-squeak-squeak".
This sound is too familiar, they have heard a lot of it, it's cicadas calling, although muffled by the glass, it sounds very faint.
Wen Baiyu immediately lowered his head to look, and indeed saw that the two glass jars were filled with cicadas. The first jar had a section of tree branch in it, the leaves had withered, and the cicadas had fallen to the bottom of the jar, all dead.
In another jar, there were some meat, specifically what kind of meat, Wen Baiyu could no longer see, because the meat had turned into dried meat, and the cicadas inside, surprisingly still trembling their wings, a few died, but most were alive, many cicada shells in the bottle.
Wen Baiyu looked at so many cicadas and subconsciously felt a chill on the back of her neck, feeling more and more that this villa was strange.
Everyone left this room and entered another one. The room also had a cabinet, which was opened to reveal piles of various documents inside, with many sheets of paper that were spotlessly clean.
Everyone exchanged a glance and then quickly moved all these papers out and put them on the table.
The dust above flew up, Qiong Qi couldn't help but let out two sneezes, blowing all the dirt up. Wen Baiyu covered her nose, but was still choked into sneezing.
Wan Qi Jing Hou patted his back, Qiong Qi looked at Ming Gui with a protesting expression, while continuously sneezing and saying: "Look at me, my sneezes are so fierce..."
His words were not yet finished, when Ming Gui's hand rose and fell with a needle, directly pricking Qiong Qi's body. It was a bit painful, but he really immediately stopped sneezing...
Everyone flipped through the documents, which contained many incomprehensible things. Wen Baiyu pulled out a piece of paper from among them, which was the periodic calculation diagram they had seen in the ancient well in the desert. This was written on it: The transformation cycle of the Queen of Xiwangmu Country.
Wen Baiyu didn't remember the handwriting, but seeing this thing, he could only think of Xie Zhen/zi alone and said: "Is this villa really built by Xie Zhen/zi? It seems that there is indeed a coffin of the Queen Mother of the West nearby."
He said, and Mo Jie Jing Hou picked up a piece of paper from the pile, on which was written densely and chaotically, all saying "that place".
A piece of paper with thousands of "that place" written on it, overlapping each other, looks extremely crazy.
That place should refer to the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West, representing wealth and immortality. The map that records that place is the seven pieces of tortoiseshell wood tablets.
Wen Baiyu suddenly remembered something and curiously said: "Actually, I've always been puzzled by a question. Xie Fengzi never got the seven wooden plaques, so how did he know where 'that place' was? Why did he say with such conviction that if we want to go to that place, we must pass through the ancient well in the desert?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou also couldn't understand the key, seven wooden plaques, they already had more than half, if not for the complete seven, it would be impossible to piece together a map, Xie Kuang's words gave people a feeling of solemn oath, twenty years ago suddenly jumped into an ancient well, they saw Xie Kuang's corpse in the ancient well too.
The demon king suddenly said: "I think the problem is here."
He said, putting a notebook on the table, which they had just dug out earlier.
The notebook had a lot written on it, the corner was folded in the middle, so Ming Gui flipped through it and found that it said "I received the revelation of the gods, that place, in the video tape".
Wen Baiyu looked at this sentence and was a bit stunned, saying: "What does this mean?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The first sentence is obviously that he is very excited, temporarily ignored, the second sentence 'that place' obviously refers to the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West, the key lies in the last sentence."
Wen Baiyu said: "In the video tape?"
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as he revealed it on the tape.
Xie Feng actually recorded a video?
Everyone was shocked and immediately dispersed from the table, then rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find the video tape.
The room was very empty, except for that cabinet, there was no other place to hide things, the cabinet was full of paper, Wang Zonghou moved the cabinet away and looked, but there was no video tape, a twenty-year-old video tape, such an old thing, it's impossible to be yours, absolutely can't be hidden.
Everyone in this room couldn't find it, immediately turned to the first room before, opened the door and continued to search. Wan Xi Jing Hou still moved the cabinet, but there was no such thing as a video tape.
Just as everyone was frowning and preparing to find the next few rooms, Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly stopped in his tracks, furrowing his brow.
"What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Xi Jinghou pointed at one of the chairs and said, "It's been moved."
The chair had accumulated a lot of dust over the years because no one had moved it, and they walked around the chair when they came in, without touching it, but Wan Qi Jing Hou said the chair had been moved.
Wen Baiyu wasn't as meticulous as he was, and didn't notice if the chair had been moved or not. But what Wan Jingshou said must be true, because on the chair there was a handprint that pressed away a patch of dust, and this handprint looked very fresh.
Everyone immediately became vigilant. This place, it turned out that there were not only the four of them, but also others who had entered, and after them, had entered this room.
"Is it the one with the tape?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "A VHS tape that big, if it were really here in this room, we would have seen it by now. The cabinet hasn't been moved, and it's not behind the cabinet either. It's probably somewhere else."
Someone is lurking in this villa, maybe also looking for something. If they continue to search blindly like this, it's obvious that they are racing against time.
Wen Baiyu furrowed his brow, his expression somewhat conflicted. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and Qiong Qi was startled by his gaze, saying: "I thought only the Seven Dings' eyes would glow."
Wen Baiyu suddenly said: "I thought of it, coffin board!"
He said a sentence, Ming Gui and Wan Kui Jing Hou immediately looked out of the window, seemingly to identify the direction, then rushed out of the room, rushing towards the room where the coffin was placed.
The poor guy was already in a precarious situation, and weirdly said: "What's wrong with the coffin?"
Wen Baiyu also rushed out of the room, running and saying: "There is a coffin in the villa. If there is no corpse inside, it is likely that it was put there to prevent others from opening it."
"Oh, I get it. You're saying that hiding things in a coffin is very safe and others won't open it? I'm so clever."
Qiong Qi was boasting while following Wen Baiyu, the villa wasn't big, they turned a corner, and there were windows in the corridor, which just happened to be facing the small building where they were staying.
Wen Baiyu looked out the window, because the villa was slightly higher, the small building was in full view. If you add a pair of binoculars, as long as the curtains are not hung, the movements inside the small building are crystal clear. Wen Baiyu didn't know why she had this feeling, and she shivered. This is an excellent observation spot.
At this time, a "crash" sound came from Wan Kuang's place. Wen Baiyu didn't look at the window anymore and ran over, saying: "What happened?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped the door handle and said: "The door is locked."
All the other rooms were unlocked, but this one was locked, which made everyone even more certain that there must be something inside.
"Thud..."
A sudden noise came from the room, as if something was moving inside.
Wan Xi Jinghou twisted the door handle, and with a "crack", it was twisted off. The door suddenly had a hole in it, bigger than a cat's eye.
Wen Baiyu looked down and saw someone's shadow moving inside the house through the hole, and immediately said: "There is someone inside, he wants to run away!"
Ming Gui rushed to the door and was about to crash into it, but Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly threw the door handle away. He glanced at the window in the corridor, then jumped up and kicked open the already broken glass with a loud "crash". In an instant, he climbed out of the window, grabbed something with both hands, swung his body, and crawled forward along the wall face with swift and decisive movements. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.
Qiong Qi saw Ming Gui rushing to the door, and immediately charged over. With a loud "bang", he slammed into the door, shattering it into several pieces. Qiong Qi's brute strength was too great, almost knocking Ming Gui off his feet. The two of them tumbled in together, only to see that the coffin lid was askew, already open by a crack. It seemed that it had been closed hastily and not tightly sealed, but they couldn't see what was inside.
Wen Baiyu rushed into the house, immediately rushing to the window and looking down. She saw a black shadow quickly climbing down, and the silhouette of this shadow seemed somewhat familiar. At this moment, Wan Jinhao had already flipped over from the side and was rapidly swinging towards the black shadow.
Hei Ying saw Wan Qi Jing Hou was about to catch up, and with a flick of his hands, he was about to jump into the bushes below the villa. Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly swung his arm, passing by in a large arc, making Wen Bai Yu's heart skip a beat. With one hand grabbing onto the villa's pipe, the other hand grasped tightly, instantly catching Hei Ying's collar. The force of Hei Ying's fall was great, and with a "creak", the villa's pipes were bent. However, Hei Ying was caught by Wan Qi Jing Hou in one grasp, suspended mid-air, kicking his legs twice but unable to move.
The black shadow below was still struggling, and the ghostly figure took a look, immediately taking out two golden needles and throwing them down. The golden needles pierced the black shadow's body, and it immediately became motionless.
Wan Xi Jing Hou grabbed the black shadow with one hand and the pipe with the other, Wen Bai Yu quickly reached out to help. The crowd pulled the black shadow up, but it was extremely heavy and in a limp state. After great effort, they finally managed to pull the black shadow through the window and threw it directly on the ground.
Very quickly, Wan Kuang Jing Hou moved nimbly, like a leopard, "whoosh" twice, from the window outside with one hand, jumped into the window frame, both feet landed silently, and even dusted off his clothes that had gotten dirty, then hugged his arms, lowered his head to look at the black shadow lying on the ground, the movement was so suave it was unbearable.
Qiong Qi said: "Is this the person who just came into the room? He must have been eavesdropping on our conversation and then came over to look for a video tape. Maybe he's also the one who hung the smoked meat on the first floor."
Qiong Qi said, squatting down to flip over the black shadow. The black shadow, due to the golden needle, was paralyzed and unable to move or speak. Qiong Qi flipped it over, and it obediently turned over, facing upwards, looking at them.
Then Qiu Qi exclaimed "Huh?" and was clearly very surprised.
Wen Baiyu was also startled and said: "How is it you?!"
