Cultural Relics Are Not To Be Messed With

During the period when Qi Chen was in a trance, Longya probably touched some key points and found the key to solving the thick fog. As he said, the milky white thick fog dispersed almost in a moment. It's almost there, only a trace of residual water vapor still lingers around, occasionally being swept by a gust of wind and thrown onto the face, it becomes a small tide.

It's just that with the experience of being cheated just now, even if Qi Chen was suffocated, he didn't dare to inhale before the fog completely cleared.

Fortunately, God didn't play him like a mouse this time, and the remaining moist water vapor was quickly evaporated, and the world was completely clear. Qi Chen was dragged by Longya's wrist, and he wasn't sure if he could rest assured for a while. Breathing, he had no choice but to raise his hand and pat the back of Long Ya's hand, then pointed to his own mouth.

Long Ya glanced at him, and said nonsense solemnly: "I can't open my mouth, I have to hold it in until we get out of this damn place, hold it in!"

Qi Chen looked at him expressionlessly: "..."

"Then what do you ask me to do? After the fog clears, what else can I inhale! Huh?" Long Ya replied angrily.

"..." Qi Chen rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and the moment he received the pardon, he suddenly slumped his shoulders and took several deep breaths, as if he had never breathed in his life.

"Are you pulling the bellows?" Long Ya looked at him with a disgusted face and took a deep breath, feeling that he had a tuberculosis, couldn't help but slapped Qi Chen on the forehead, pointed to the front and said in a low voice : "How about some snacks? With such a big commotion, you will startle the ghosts."

Feeling that his lungs were filled with fresh air again, Qi Chen felt that this year might be an unlucky year and he would be a Tai Sui. Last time he was suffocated at the bottom of the river, but now he can still suffocate on the ground.

The severe hypoxia before caused his brain to almost stagnate, and he couldn't even pay attention to the place where they were after the fog cleared, not to mention the situation where Longya was present, he was always a little lazy to use his brain, just follow Longya in everything The ancestor is used to this kind of thing, he can handle it much better than him, and he is also used to giving orders.

Now that the fog has cleared, even the last bit of hazy water vapor is gone, and being reminded by Long Ya, Qi Chen naturally noticed the surrounding situation——

Everything he groped for in the dense fog was correct. What they were stepping on was indeed bluestone slabs. The large stone slabs were laid on the ground in an orderly manner, forming a circular yard in circles. Between the stone slabs The remaining gaps were filled with green bricks. The whole yard is very smooth, but the stone slabs have been worn down for many years, and green moss grew between the stone gaps. The water vapor in the fog looks a little slippery.

And the place where he fell just now has the imprint of the moss being rubbed flat. Beside that, there is a muddy field about one meter in diameter, surrounded by broken stones half-built in the ground. The muddy field Among them, there is an old tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and it is covered with clusters of small white flowers, which almost bend the branches down.When the breeze passed through the trees, a few fine white petals would fall down, and when they swept over Qi Chen's body, there was an extremely cool feeling, which made Qi Chen shiver.

To be honest, in this strangely ancient environment, it is already enough to make people feel cold, and there is really no need for this old tree to "icing on the cake".

It was evident that they were standing in a corner of the yard, not far from the old tree, at the edge of its shade.

Surrounding the courtyard are old sloping eaves stained with water droplets, and several houses that look like no one has lived in them for many years.Among them, there is an open house on the left hand side, and there is a wooden staircase next to the colonnade, which connects to a small room on the second floor.

It's just that except for the gloomy sunlight in the courtyard, the rooms on three sides are all in darkness, even the open room is no exception, and the staircase is hidden in the dark shadow of the open room, and is covered by the courtyard. The hanging branches of the middle-aged and old trees blocked half of it, making it really unclear.

Long Ya raised his hand and pointed at the corner across the old tree. After speaking, he dragged Qi Chen forward for two steps, as if he wanted Qi Chen to see it more clearly.

Without the cover of the old tree branches, Qi Chen finally saw the whole picture of the old wooden staircase...

Naturally, he also saw a person standing in the stairwell.

It was a woman with black hair and a gentle low bun. She was wearing a white narrow-sleeved shirt and a long skirt. Standing shallowly in the middle of the stairs, it seemed as if a breeze could blow her down.

She lowered her head, her hands resting on the old wooden stair railing, and she couldn't see her face clearly. After standing there for a long time, her long skirt fluttered, and she stepped lightly down a step.

The moment his footsteps fell, Qi Chen heard the familiar sound of wet water again.

"This is..." Qi Chen stared at the woman descending the stairs with her head bowed for a while, then turned her head and lowered her voice and said to Longya: "Could it be her that the watery footprints on the stairs of Li Zhengchang's house?"

Long Ya responded with an "um", but his eyes were not on the woman, but instead he scanned the dark room around and the seemingly hidden wooden courtyard door not far behind them.

"Could it be that we're still where we are? Is this an illusion?" Qi Chen couldn't ignore the woman who was neither human nor ghost like Long Ya, so he could only slowly look away, then quickly glanced around, and then turned his gaze back again. Fall back to which woman.

Long Ya shook his head, and said, "Yes, it's not."

Qi Chen: "..." This is really the same nonsense that you said and didn't say!

However, Long Ya then explained leisurely: "If I guessed correctly, this should be the original location of Li Zhengchang's house."

"You mean, the building where Li Zhengchang lived was originally the location of this old courtyard before the current community?" Qi Chen nodded.

The hairstyle and clothing of the women on the stairs look a bit like the style of the Song Dynasty. If this room has always existed and continued, it should be about 1000 years old.

He suddenly remembered a while ago... To be precise, it was about two years ago. He seemed to have read a report about Qin City, saying that a certain old city was demolished, and many old houses were demolished.It's just that that incident didn't cause much splash, because someone uploaded a few photos later. The old houses in the photos are indeed too old and dilapidated, and they are mixed in some old alleys. It's about to fall down, and it looks like it can't even be repaired.Later, I don’t know if the developer spent money or what, but there was no follow-up on that matter, and it was gradually exposed and forgotten.

If such a thing happened more than once, even thinking about it, it is not impossible that the place mentioned in the report at that time was the community where Li Zhengchang lived.

After all, Li Zhengchang mentioned more than once that he and his lover lived in an old house recently.

Qi Chen analyzed this point, and felt that it might be the same——

If they don't live in the old house for a long time, then the old house may have been rented out or even sold out according to common sense. Very few people just leave it there, and they are going to go back to live at any time.So it is very likely that this community has not been built for a long time, and they have just moved in for a while. Before the old house had time to deal with it, strange things happened here, so they moved back to hide.

So now the phantom of this old courtyard, including the woman in this courtyard, may have entangled Li Zhengchang because the residence was occupied.

Just why is it Li Zhengchang?

And there is more than one old house, why is there such a strange thing in this place?

A bunch of questions rolled around in Qi Chen's mind, which made him a little distracted. When he came back to his senses and focused his eyes on the woman in white again, he discovered a strange thing——

The woman had obviously already descended two or three steps slowly, and there were several wet footsteps. Why did she still stand in the middle of the stairs when I looked at it now, the same as when Qi Chen saw her for the first time.She still lowered her head, holding on to the handrail of the stairs, the hem of her long skirt moved slightly, and she stepped down a step.

Qi Chen: "..."

He no longer dared to be distracted, staring at the woman's skirt and the stairs under her feet.

After staring and staring for a while, he finally saw the woman's situation clearly - after she walked down a flight of stairs, her whole body would be blurred for a moment, and then she returned to the place where she was on the next step, and then went to the next step. Go down a step again, then go back, go down again...

This cycle goes on and on... She was actually taking that step from the beginning to the end.

No wonder the wet footsteps heard at Li Zhengchang's house when the fog just started to rise, always paused for a long time before making a sound.

After Qi Chen understood the woman's situation, he tugged at Long Ya's hand and said, "Look at her, she's been going down the same stairs all the time, what's going on?" He remembered all kinds of strange novels and even TV that he had read. Movie, guessed: "Is this the legendary earth-bound spirit?"

Because Long Ya was not afraid of this woman at all, he naturally didn't pay attention to her, but concentrated on finding the loopholes here, so that he could get out of this dark and broken courtyard as soon as possible.

Hearing what Qi Chen said, he patiently raised his eyelids and cast a glance at the woman, saying: "It's not the earth-bound spirit, although the earth-bound spirit keeps repeating the same thing, but it's repeating the same thing that happened in life." On the last day, it lasted until the moment of death, and then the cycle continued. You said this woman, she kept repeating the movement of going downstairs. Any picture of the moment of death is not an earthbound spirit."

"What's that?" Qi Chen asked.

Long Ya frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Someone should have recorded her actions at this moment in some form... As for what is going on, let's go and have a look."

When Qi Chen heard this, his face turned green: "..."
