Chapter 48 Ancestral Hall
"Perhaps we should find out why the granddaughter cannot enter the villagers' house." Ning Zishan said.
"Yes." Ke Xu agreed: "If the images continue to appear, we will be able to figure out the secrets of this village sooner or later. We have to go out with You Shiting tomorrow morning, let's sleep first."
Ning Zishan nodded.
Back on the bed and lying down again, Ke Xu turned over and faced Ning Zishan.
"Good night." Ning Zishan said.
"Good night..." Ke Xu paused, and then said again: "We will act with You Shiting tomorrow, don't trust her too much."
Ke Xu explained: "If you really want to act alone, there are many ways to get rid of the surveillance. The reason why You Shiting came to me for help is probably because she felt that the place she found was dangerous, so tomorrow You have to be more careful yourself."
"I see." Ning Zishan said.
Ke Xu patted him like a coaxing child: "Go to sleep."
The next morning, the three of them ate something briefly, instead of going through the main entrance, they walked through the front hall and entered the backyard.
The sky was so cloudy that it seemed that there would be a rainstorm at any time, there was no door in the backyard, and three sides were surrounded by walls more than two meters high. The walls were covered with black tiles, but the tiles were broken in many places, and fell miserably on the ground. by the wall.
You Shiting looked around in the backyard and asked Ke Xu, "Get out over the wall?"
Ke Xu nodded.
You Shiting said again: "How can you be sure that no one is guarding below?"
Ke Xu found a place with a lot of tiles, looked up and took a few steps back: "I don't know, if there are people guarding, then I have to trouble you to put them away as agreed yesterday." lead away."
After speaking, Ke Xu stepped hard, like an agile cheetah. After a short run-up, he kicked his foot on the wall, used his strength to jump to the top of the wall, and supported his arms. The whole set of movements was done in one go, and he climbed up within two seconds up the fence.
After climbing up the wall, Ke Xu first glanced at the other side: "It's a good luck, no one is guarding below."
After speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Ning Zishan and You Shiting up to the wall.
After You Shiting came up, Ke Xu said, "The movements are very skilled."
You Shiting choked up for a moment, and said, "I usually exercise regularly, otherwise how do you think I can live so long? Stop talking nonsense, let's go."
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the wall first.
Behind the courtyard wall in the backyard is a wasteland, the ground is also covered with weeds, and there are traces of trampling.
"This way." You Shiting pointed in one direction.
Ke Xu and Ning Zishan followed her.
"Isn't it the first time you come out here?" Ke Xu said suddenly.
"How do you know?" You Shiting didn't deny it.
"I just saw that the weeds in the courtyard and the weeds near the wall outside the courtyard have traces of being crushed by things like bricks and stones." Ke Xu said: "Also, most people will subconsciously identify the direction when they come to a strange place. You just pointed out which way to go."
You Shiting laughed lightly after listening.
Ke Xu continued: "If I didn't come to the backyard, you would suggest that we dig out from here?" He sighed, "I don't like to play this kind of guessing game, to be honest, Why did you lie to us yesterday? If the place you found is dangerous, it would be better to tell us in advance so that we can be mentally prepared?"
"I did find a hidden path, and I really haven't seen what's on the other side of the path. As for why I used the excuse of distracting the watchers..." You Shiting suddenly turned her head to look Ning Zishan glanced at him with hostility in his eyes: "Because I just want to go with you, and I don't want to take your little tail."
After finishing speaking, You Shiting sighed slightly disappointed: "But I didn't expect that you would really not want to leave him for a minute."
Did You Shiting say this because she didn't like herself?Ning Zishan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After that, there was a silence, only the rustling of a few people stepping on the grass.
After walking for about half an hour, You Shiting stopped at a certain location on the edge of the village, and pushed aside the wormwood that was almost as tall as a person in front of her, revealing a narrow path that can only be passed by one person. It was very similar to the road when Ning Zishan first arrived, the end of the road was winding and submerged in a dense fog.
"Are we going into that fog?" Ning Zishan asked.
"No, it's too dangerous." Ke Xu said: "But let's go ahead and have a look, maybe we will find something on the way."
After speaking, Ke Xu took the lead, Ning Zishan was behind the hall, You Shiting walked in the middle, and the three of them lined up, crossed the wormwood wall, and set foot on the path.
"Be careful." Ke Xu warned.
After walking along the road for about ten minutes, Ke Xu stopped near the dense fog. Ning Zishan and You Shiting approached him, and saw a downward fork in front of him, because that fork also intersected Among the tall wormwood, it is impossible to find without approaching.
At the end of the fork road leads to a semicircular depression, the bottom of the depression is about seven|eight meters, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, looking from top to bottom, it looks like the bottom of a big bowl.
A small house with a strange shape is located at the bottom of the depression. The three of them winked at each other and started to walk down the side road.
Gray stone walls, black roof, no plaque on the door lintel, two wooden doors that have been blackened by wind and rain are wide open, and from outside the door, you can see the bean-sized flames of the ever-burning lamps on the altar table inside, and the middle one incense burner.
Because the fire was too weak, it couldn't even fully illuminate the space less than seven square meters in the house, but you could vaguely see a little bit of golden reflection from the deepest part, as if something was placed there.
The three of them were not in a hurry to go in, but walked around the building first, and after confirming that there were no traps or other dangers outside, You Shiting said: "This seems to be an ancestral hall."
"The ancestral hall?" Ning Zishan said, "Then what tablet should be enshrined here?"
Ke Xu hummed: "It doesn't look dangerous, let's go in and have a look."
After speaking, he was the first to walk in, and Ning Zishan and You Shiting had no choice but to follow.
Originally, the ancestral hall was not big, but it immediately became crowded when three people entered together.
There were no tributes on the altar, only an ever-burning lamp and an incense burner, in which a thick layer of ashes had fallen, and three burnt incense sticks stuck in it.
There are two yellow curtains hanging behind the altar, blocking the only light, making the enshrined tablets behind it completely hidden in the darkness.
Ke Xu touched the altar with his hands, and there was no dust. In addition to the burning lamp and the absence of weeds around the ancestral hall, it can be confirmed that it is often cleaned here.
It's just that the brightness of the permanent lamp is too low, and it's cloudy again today, so it's impossible to check the ancestral hall properly.
Ke Xu was a little annoyed, he should have brought the oil lamp with him if he knew earlier.
"Hello, Ke Xu." He heard Ning Zishan calling him.
"What's the matter?" Ke Xu followed the sound and saw Ning Zishan was lying on the altar, stretching his neck, squinting his eyes and looking in.
Ning Zishan said: "The thing behind the curtain doesn't seem to be a memorial tablet."
Not tablet?what would that be
Then he heard Ning Zishan continue: "Why do I look like a Buddha statue or something?"
Who will place Buddha statues in ancestral halls?Is this not an ancestral hall, but a small temple?
"What's the matter? What did you find?" At this moment, You Shiting also came over, holding a thin grass stalk in her hand.
Ke Xu said: "Zishan said that there seems to be a Buddha statue behind here."
You Shiting hummed thoughtfully, and then took the grass stem and flicked the wick of the ever-burning lamp, the light suddenly brightened a lot, and now all three of them saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the high platform behind the yellow curtains. A shadow, painted with gold lacquer, shone in the light of the fire.
You Shiting murmured: "This is... the golden body?"
Ke Xu asked, "Can you tell what kind of Buddha it is?"
You Shiting shook her head: "Come closer and have a look."
So Ke Xu picked up the ever-burning lamp, and the three of them walked around the altar and came to the high platform. Ke Xu put the ever-burning lamp on the high platform, and finally saw the shadow clearly.
Then they discovered that the thing was not a Buddha statue at all, with a shriveled body, hands hanging by the sides, and legs curled up unnaturally, if they really wanted to say it, it would be more appropriate to call it a golden-painted mummy.
And what's even more chilling is that this mummy has no head!
"What is this?" You Shiting couldn't help but said, "I've never seen such a horrible thing enshrined anywhere."
Ning Zishan said: "Could it be some kind of evil god?"
You Shiting pursed her lips.
Ke Xu didn't speak, but suddenly let out a surprise, and said, "Look, its fingers and toes are gone."
Hearing the words, Ning Zishan also took a closer look, and said, "The section is very neat, it should have been cut off on purpose."
Ke Xu looked at the mummy carefully again, and then said: "In a strange village, there are not only skeleton girls who come out to wander every night, but a mummy without a head, no fingers and toes is enshrined. It's getting more and more confusing."
Ning Zishan asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"Let's see if there are any other suspicious places. If not, go back first." Ke Xu said: "It's getting late, if the villagers find us sneaking out, it won't be so easy to get rid of them next time .”
Afterwards, the three of them searched the ancestral hall again, and after confirming that there were no other clues, they put the lantern back in place and returned to the house along the original road.
It was also luck for the three of them. As soon as they climbed back from the wall to the backyard, it began to rain in the gloomy sky. The rain was fierce and fast. The three of them had no time to communicate, so they could only separate in a hurry and went back to their respective rooms.
Although Ning Zishan and Ke Xu ran fast enough, they still inevitably got wet.
As soon as he entered the door, Ke Xu didn't bother to wipe off the rainwater on his body, but went to the towel rack to take off the towel, put it on Ning Zishan's head, and helped him wipe his wet hair.
"I can do it myself." Ning Zishan pressed Ke Xu's hand that was rubbing on his head: "You are also wet, wipe yourself first."
"Yeah." Ke Xu let go of his hand, handed him the towel, unbuttoned his clothes, took off the rain-soaked clothes, and put them on the back of the chair.
Tight waist and powerful shoulders, this is not the first time Ning Zishan has seen Ke Xu's naked upper body, but it is the first time that he has a feeling of rapid heartbeat.
The touch of fingertips brushing against lips revived again, Ning Zishan looked away in panic, feeling a little guilty.
Ke Xu put on his clothes and turned to Ning Zishan, "Take off your wet clothes too."
"Yes." Ke Xu agreed: "If the images continue to appear, we will be able to figure out the secrets of this village sooner or later. We have to go out with You Shiting tomorrow morning, let's sleep first."
Ning Zishan nodded.
Back on the bed and lying down again, Ke Xu turned over and faced Ning Zishan.
"Good night." Ning Zishan said.
"Good night..." Ke Xu paused, and then said again: "We will act with You Shiting tomorrow, don't trust her too much."
