Handbook of Nonhuman Research

"We each ask each other three questions. Whether it's astronomy, geography, piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, it's fine. We must come up with convincing answers. Four out of six games." answer.It was one of the three ghosts who hung upside down on the tree to frighten Zhao Wugou.If you look straight at it, this guy's neck is a bit too long.

Wu Yi, who played here as a haunted house, gave Zhao Wugou an urging wink, asking him to agree. Zhao Wugou straightened his mask, sat down on the sofa calmly, and looked at the crowd of ghosts opposite him. , "What about the bet?"

They are all in the living room of the main room at the moment, Yan Jun and Zhao Wugou are in the beige leather sofa area shaped like a door, while the ghosts are crowded in all directions of the door frame, window frame and stair railing, like a pile of long Oddly shaped mushrooms.

bet?The ghosts who tried to hide half of their bodies behind various objects were stunned for a moment, and immediately gathered together to discuss.

Zhao Wugou didn't urge them either, and turned around to ask the others if they had any special discoveries, such as the strange formation or the evil spirit of the big monster.

Wu Yi, Bai Ze, and the third and fourth who were busy helping Yan Jun clean up the sofa dust all shook their heads, not yet.

"You lose, and you are never allowed to come here again in the future, and you have to burn 30 years of offerings for us." Amidst the chattering ghosts, a ghost lion with long hair opened his mouth.

"Cut!" What a beautiful idea!Wu Yi's peach-blossom eyes slanted slightly, and he gave it a disdainful glance, "Then you lost?"

The long-haired ghost who received the knife shuddered, and retreated behind his companion embarrassingly, beeping, asking for a price, and paying back the money when he landed, if you disagree, you can say it, why scare the ghost.

"We lost, and I will serve you as ghost servants for 30 years." The long-necked ghost looked around, and the representative replied.

"Okay, it's a deal, you guys come up with the questions first." Zhao Wugou generously spread his hands to express his acceptance.

"The first question, wenping game." An old ghost slowly stood up from the opposite side, pointing to the door.

Those ghosts rushed out of the door, using the square bricks in the courtyard as a grid, standing and squatting wandering souls replaced black and white, and quickly wandered to stand.Judging by the proficiency of the movements, it is obviously not the first time to play.

The old ghost stood confidently in front of the 'chessboard', expressing that he wanted to hold the sunspots.

Go?Zhao Wugou didn't know much about this research, so he and Bai Ze looked at each other, and the other party nodded, indicating that it was up to him.Then Shi Shiran stood up, "Then let me talk with you. Half an hour is the limit."

The old ghost seemed a little surprised that he offered to limit the time, but he felt that it was beneficial to him and readily agreed.

"Stinky fortune teller," Wu Yi lightly kicked Bai Ze's heel, "Don't lose."

"It's up to you if you lose." Bai Ze turned around and rubbed his hair affectionately, took out a black rope, and impulsively tied up his gorgeous silver hair.

Hearing his words, Wu Yi's peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his back in an instant. He turned his head and raised his chin to cheer up the old ghost in front of the chessboard, "Hey, fight hard, you must win!"

Old ghost:? ? ?

White Pond:………………

In order to watch the chess game conveniently, Yan Jun, Zhao Wugou and Wu Yi all went to the balcony on the second floor.

"Tang Minghuang visits the Moon Palace." Yan Jun looked at the wandering souls standing still in the courtyard, and recognized the Zhenlong chess game in front of him at a glance.

"Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for Bai Ze to hold Bai Zi?" The intern vaguely remembered that this was a famous game through the ages.It got its name because the process of sunspots eating whites is like Chang'e in the moon palace raising her wide sleeves and dancing gracefully.

"En." Yan Jun replied, but he wasn't too worried.Any chess game should be no problem for Bai Ze.

While they were chatting, there was already a war downstairs.Wu Yi knew nothing about Go. Hearing Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun's words, he was looking forward to Bai Ze's promise after losing. He couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves and cheered for the old ghost downstairs, "Come on, kill him!"

Zhao Wugou silently supported his forehead, what's his position?

"Come on!" "Come on, Lao Hong!" All the ghosts watching downstairs raised their arms, and under the leadership of Wu Yi, they also shouted.

Heizi drove straight in, with momentum like a rainbow.

In the midst of the commotion, Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and folded his arms calmly.

"Oops, it's not good for that stinky fortune teller to show such an expression every time." Wu Yi, who was waving his arms to cheer for the enemy, suddenly stopped, wrinkled his pretty nose, and had an ominous premonition.

Zhao Wugou raised his eyebrows teasingly, looked at Wu Yi, "every time?"

"In the month I've known him, I've suffered losses twice." Wu Yi showed a resigned look on his face.

a month?We have known each other for a month and developed into cohabitation?Your development is too fast, right?The intern was dumbfounded. He thought Bai Ze and Wu Yi had known each other for a long time, but he didn't expect the other party to be a novice lover?

After 58 minutes, the old ghost was defeated by Bai Ze's beautiful Jedi and defeated.

"I lost." The old ghost shook his head.

lost?The ghosts who were waiting to cheer for the victory were stunned for a moment.

"Tsk, it's really useless!" Wu Yi upstairs was disappointed.

All the ghosts: ……………

"Come on, what's your second question?" Zhao Wugou urged the ghosts downstairs after giving Bai Ze a thumbs-up.

"That's right." As the ghosts looked at each other, a ghost in a long gown puffed out his chest and said in a cadence full of ancient rhyme, "Listen well, my upper line is, drink the ancient spring, drink ten mouthfuls of white water."

Zhao Wugou's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the person downstairs with a half-smile.

This is the famous Eternal Absolute. It looks simple, but it has a lot of mystery. Ten mouths become "ancient" and white water becomes "spring". Couldn't get any downloads.

"I'll give you half a stick of incense..." Time thought.

The ghost in the gown was about to express his open-mindedness, but the intern shook his head, "No need."

"Are you admitting defeat?" The long-clothed ghost looked around, revealing a look of secret joy.

"It doesn't take that long." Zhao Wugou raised the corners of his lips confidently, "I have the second couplet, pour heavy ink, and paint thousands of miles of black soil."

The long-clothed ghost who was high-fiving his companions confidently froze in place like a lightning strike.

What?Got the answer?still so fast?

"Thousands of miles are the most important, and the black soil is the ink, wonderful, wonderful!" The old ghost who played chess with Bai Ze just now stroked his beard and couldn't help admiring.

"I'll come up with the third question." The morale of the ghosts who had lost two games in a row was very low. A ghost in a student uniform jumped onto the white marble railing of the courtyard well, pointed to the ground, and said loudly, "Look here."

Everyone looked up and saw a few lines of equations written in white chalk on the ground.

1()+1()=1()

3()+4()=1()

5()+7()=1()

6()+10()=1()

"Are you sure?" This question is too simple.The intern smiled lightly with ease, and his amber eyes were full of starlight.

"Wait a minute, let's discuss it again." The long-necked ghost at the beginning waved his hand. This is the third question. If they lose again, unless they can answer all the other's questions correctly, they will not be able to stand up at all.

The ghosts discussed for a long time, and finally the long-necked representative said, "This question doesn't count. Our third question is, did Wen Tao steal the "Lanting Collection Preface" in Zhaoling back then?"

Zhao Wugou: ……………

There are many records in history about this bandit commander who was reincarnated as a bandit star and was active during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.No matter the official history or the unofficial history, there are records about his robbery and excavation of the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty, the most famous of which is Zhaoling.But whether he took the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" is an unsolved case in history.

Seeing Zhao Wugou's stuck state, all the ghosts downstairs became agitated, calm down, this time it's a sure win!

The long-necked ghost showed a smile that was sure to win, unless Wen Tao himself was here, otherwise, who knows if he got it?

Yan Jun dragged the intern aside, and whispered into his jade-like ear, "No."

Have you tried Wen Tao?Zhao Wugou looked at Yan Jun in surprise.

"It wasn't me who tried it, but you who tried it yourself. At the judge's hall, you specifically asked him where the Lanting collection was going, and you sighed in distress for a long time when you came back." Recalling the appearance of someone back then, Yan Jun had a faint look in his eyes. smile.

"Then the Preface to the Lanting Collection is still in Zhaoling?" Zhao Wugou let out a sigh of relief, the best running script in the world can escape Wen Tao's clutches, which is considered a great fortune among misfortunes.

Yan Jun shook his head, "Wen Tao thought the brocade mounted on it was beautiful, so he tore it up on the spot to get the silk."

No!Zhao Wugou's handsome brows instantly revealed a row of pleats.

You were already angry more than a thousand years ago, Yan Jun stretched out his index finger, and gently pressed the center of his brow, "Don't get angry twice about the same thing."

The temperature of Yan Jun's fingertips came from his forehead, and Zhao Wugou's ears turned red after he realized it.

Don't look at evil, Bai Ze stretched out his hand to cover Wu Yi's face, but Wu Yi grabbed his hand and forcefully opened the gap between his middle finger and ring finger.

Bai Ze, who was held tightly by Wu Yi, trembled slightly as if he was electrocuted.

"Don't delay me watching the show!" Wu Yi patted Bai Ze's arm in dissatisfaction, grabbed his hand, and continued to peek blatantly and relishingly through the artificial gap.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

After being disturbed by Wu Yiyi, the inexplicable charm between the intern and Yan Jun quickly faded away.Zhao Wugou cleared his throat, walked back to the balcony and shook his head firmly at the long-necked ghost downstairs waiting for an answer, "No."

"You can't talk nonsense, what evidence do you have?" The long-necked ghost raised his head and put on an expression of 'don't think we're easy to fool'.

"Wen Tao is still serving his sentence in the punishment hell on the [-]th floor of the underworld because of the robbery and destruction. Otherwise, I will send you to him to confirm the answer?" Zhao Wugou shrugged his shoulders, expressing his willingness to help.

Yan Jun pinched two fingers, followed his words, and directly opened a crack of more than ten meters in the middle of the courtyard. All the ghosts looked down, and saw blood and water all over the ground, and several people were chained and locked in place. Some are raising their knives to scrape people's bodies, while others are sharpening their knives and preparing to do it.A fat-headed guy just raised his head at this moment, half of his body was sliced ​​into bloody flesh, and let out a creepy wail.

"No, no, no!" The frightened ghosts hurriedly denied three times.

Nine-Tailed Fox seemingly inadvertently slapped the three-meter-high stainless steel sculpture in the yard into a steel plate mural, and continued to add threats of force.

All the ghosts: ...

Si Geng shook his head, so, don't question my judge if you have nothing to do.

"You have already asked three questions. Now it's our turn to ask." The intern raised his eyebrows. Inspired by the other party, he also remembered a long-standing unsolved case.

The old ghost who played against Bai Ze at the beginning nodded representatively, "Please."

"As we all know, He's Bi was made into a Jade Seal, so where is it now?" Zhao Wugou blinked slyly, and put on an expression of humbly asking for advice.

All the ghosts downstairs: ……………

Depend on!Don't bring such a bully!

Who knows?

"The four questions are up, we lost." After the silence, the long-necked ghost covered his face, wanting to cry but not crying.

The ghosts next to them were also downcast. They couldn't help but talk about any problems, and they could open the hell. What kind of people are they?

Someone clean the yard later!San Geng and Si Geng happily took the ghost deeds to find the ghosts to sign the contract.

"We picked the wrong topic, and we just asked what they are good at!" The ghost in the student uniform pulled his hair angrily, with a frustrated expression that he didn't perform well. "You should ask them about their common sense about ghosts!"

"The ones who should be allowed to come up with the questions first must be the ones who suffer the most. Bullying ghost!" Another ghost echoed.

The four guards patted them on the shoulder sympathetically, "If we, Mr. Bai Ze and Mr. Judge, really play ghost common sense quizzes with you, or ask questions first, then we will be bullying you."

In that case, I am afraid that you will lose all your pants now.

What?White Pond?Judge?

All the ghosts were stunned!

Zhao Wugou also filled in the row of equations on the ground, and turned to Wu Yi, "Have you played enough?"

1 (only) + 1 (only) = 1 (double)

3 (days) + 4 (days) = 1 (week)

5 (month) + 7 (month) = 1 (year)

6 (two) + 10 (two) = 1 (jin)

"It's all played by you." Wu Yi wrinkled his nose as he stared at the row of equations on the ground, saying that of course he didn't play enough, Wendou is not his domain, okay?If you have the ability to compete in martial arts, you can also sing.

"Okay, let's move on to the next copy of the missing person." Zhao Wugou stroked his palms, blatantly ignoring Wu Yi.

"Hey, why are you asking me if you don't care about my opinion?" the deflated fox said angrily.

"Routine business." The intern had a righteous expression on his face, but he was rolling with laughter in his heart, retaliation for retaliation, who told you to watch the play just now.

"Among you, who lived in Li Zhai before 1937?" Zhao Wugou stood on the porch, looking down at the ghosts in the courtyard.

After signing the contract, the ghosts looked at each other, and five or six ghosts stood up one by one, including the old ghost who played chess with Bai Ze, the long-clothed ghost who made a pair, the long-necked ghost, and a wisteria flower spirit.

Zhao Wugou took a special look to see that there were no female ghosts who jumped off the building and died tragically in the rumors.

"As far as you know, what's underground in this house?" He asked pleasantly.Agreeing with Wendou is just a pretense, he actually wants to subdue these ghosts in the end, and learn about the past from them.Only with their cooperation can they get more information than when they were interrogated by the Public Security Bureau.

The cloth merchant bought the left house in 1937, and disappeared when it was rebuilt in 38.There is very little information about the missing persons, not even a photo, only that they are all from the same village, one of them has six fingers on his left hand, and two are father and son.

At that time, all the ghosts in the yard were detained and interrogated by the Public Security Bureau.

The results of the investigation and interrogation confirmed each other, and indeed no ghosts ever harmed the workers.Not even a body was found.Because there is no clear name and other information, it is impossible to use the records of the underworld to verify the date and cause of death of those people.

In the remodeling in the early 90s, there were no cases of disappearance or human life. Therefore, there should be no problem with the ghosts in the house at present, and the focus is still on the original batch.In addition, according to the data, the buildings on the ground were basically demolished at that time. If the ghosts are really innocent, then the problem can only be in the ground.

This is the basic context that Zhao Wugou figured out on the way he came here.

underground?The few ghosts who stood up looked at each other.

"The pond used to be on the left side, and it was deeper than it is now. It was re-dug here." The long-necked ghost spoke first, pointing to the pond landscaping behind the white marble fence.

"When did you fill it out?"

"About 20 years ago."

That's not it, Zhao Wugou nodded, looked at the other ghosts, "Is there any more?"

"There used to be a well in the backyard. It was also buried." The long-clothed ghost thought hard and said, "It was buried when someone disappeared."

The intern's heart moved, "Have you seen those people?"

The long-clothed ghost nodded, then shook his head again, "In the beginning we watched in the dark, and they were all poor and rough men. Later, it was too noisy, so we avoided it. Afterwards, we all know exactly who disappeared. I can't quite figure it out."

"Has anything ever happened to that well before?"

"I drowned two servant girls." The gown ghost replied, "Speaking of that well, I remember that when the servants in the yard went down to salvage the corpses of the servant girls, they said that there seemed to be a secret door underneath."

"Oh, that's what you said," said the old ghost who played chess with Bai Ze, as if he had been awakened by some memory, "Isn't it said that there is a cat mound of the former emperor?"

"Cat mound?" Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun looked at each other and asked, "What cat mound?"

"I'm not sure about this, I just heard a few words from the ghost who lived here before." The old ghost stroked his translucent beard, "There was an emperor in the previous dynasty who liked cats very much, and there was a cat room in the palace. The eunuchs in Beijing were responsible for raising cats for the emperor. Among them, there was a black cat that was particularly favored by the emperor, and it was said that he had saved him once. Later, when the cat died, the emperor ordered a cat grave to be built for it, and even the coffin was pure. Gold. People say that the black cat is psychic, so the emperor asked others to build a tunnel in the cat mound for the soul of the black hair to enter and exit. This place is the cat mound of the black cat before Gaili Wangfu. Jianli Wangfu At the time, a Taoist priest specially helped the prince to see it, and he dug this well in the mansion, saying that it could calm down the black cat and let the king of Li rest easy."

The intern propped his chin on one hand, "So the secret door at the bottom of the well is probably the tunnel in the cat mound?"

"Probably." The old ghost's tone was uncertain.

"Could it be that the black cat became a demon?"

"It's simple, we'll find out by digging it out at the back." Wu Yi said, rubbing his chin.

Yan Jun waved his hand, indicating that the third watch and the fourth watch would take all the ghosts to dig the well in the backyard.

"No, this is someone else's property, you can't move it casually." The wisteria spirit with a purple flower on its head stretched out a vine branch to block the door of the living room, weakly protesting their behavior.

"Don't worry, he is the owner of this place." Zhao Wugou pointed to Yan Jun, took out the photo of the purchase contract and kept it as a file. There is a mine at home, so he is confident.

In a good mood, maybe it will be demolished and rebuilt.

Wisteria Essence: ………

On Christmas Eve, a group of ghosts were digging in full swing in the backyard of the haunted house.The scene was so weird no matter how you looked at it.

Four folding chairs lined up next to it, sitting Yan Jun, Zhao Wugou, Wu Yi and Bai Ze.

Yan Jun was burying his head in official documents, while Bai Ze was soundly asleep.

The middle two are left with nothing to do.

Wu Yi fiddled with Bai Ze's hair, turned his head several times, looked hesitantly at Zhao Wugou who was beside him directing the excavation work by remote control, showing that I had something to say and didn't know if I should say it or not.

"You can ask whatever you want." Zhao Wugou was worried that the dignified song god twisted his neck out of order, and if he had to sing with his head sideways in the future, the fans would cry.

"I heard that all human beings who believe in modern science are atheists." Wu Yi looked at Zhao Wugou curiously.

"I'm a scientific theist." The intern said solemnly.

"Then does he know that you believe in Buddhism?" Wu Yi pointed to Yan Jun beside Zhao Wugou gossipingly.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

"We found the entrance!" A cheer in the middle of the night rescued Zhao Wugou who was in a frozen state.

"Go, find the cat!" The scientific theist patted Wu Yi on the shoulder, wisely ending the topic.
