Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 140, Curiosity is Dead

When Yu Chigong came up, Nangong Yu had already opened the door of the guest room, Yu Chigong went to the door to look inside, and couldn't help but sneezed.

The room was dark, and Nangong Yu could only be seen walking inside holding a candle. By the light of the candle, one could see that the room was covered with cobwebs, and the cobwebs were covered with dust.

Hearing Yu Chigong's voice, Nangong Yu immediately came out and took off the mask: "Don't go in Brick, there is a lot of dust inside, be careful if you choke, come down with me first to find a light."

"Who is this guest room for?" Yu Chigong asked as he went downstairs.

"No, there have been strange noises upstairs these two days, let me see what's going on." Nangong Yu took Yu Chigong's little hand and walked down the stairs slowly.

"What's the sound? Why didn't I hear it?" Yu Chigong asked curiously.

Nangong Yu looked at him, raised the corner of her mouth, and lowered her voice mysteriously, "It's footsteps. The three of us heard it. It's like rumors. They are still wearing chains, jingling, walking around at night."

"Ah!" Yu Chigong exclaimed, "Could it be that the Cultivation Hall is haunted?!"

"Well, it can be understood in this way." Nangong Yu nodded solemnly.

"Really, really?" Yu Chigong's eyes were full of admiration, and the way he looked at Nangong Yu was different.

"You seem to be very happy?" Nangong Yu was a little surprised. How could this child who is afraid of mice get so excited when he mentions haunting?

"Of course! I've never seen a ghost before, I really want to see it! Aww——" Yu Chigong turned his head excitedly, involving the wound on his neck, he screamed in pain.

"You don't want to see it." Nangong Yu smiled, opened the door of the storage room on the first floor, and found a bunch of wires, "Brick, wait for me here."

"Oh? Why? I also want to see what the haunted room looks like, Nangong Yu, let me go, let me go, I'm so curious." Yuchi shook Nangong Yu's arm, shining brightly Big eyes full of anticipation.

Nangong Yu couldn't resist him being coquettish and foolish, and thinking that nothing would happen during the day, so she reluctantly agreed to him.

He brought up a wire from the second floor, hung a light in the room that had just been opened, and the room suddenly lit up.

There are tangled spider silks hanging everywhere in the guest room, and it is gray and old and ruined everywhere. The furnishings in the room can't see the original color, and some things even turn to ashes as soon as they are touched by hand.

Nangong Yu swept the cobwebs all around with a broom, and then she could barely see the scene in the guest room. The guest room was not as chaotic as he expected, but rather neat and orderly.

Wearing the mask and gloves that Nangong Yu found for him, Yu Chigong happily stepped on the creaking wooden floor, passed the carved partition, and rushed towards the opposite curtain.

"Isn't this a curtain? Open the curtain and the room will be lit up?" Yu Chigong grabbed a corner of the curtain and lifted it vigorously, the curtain covering the entire wall broke into a ball of rags and fell down He was covered tightly, and a large cloud of dust suddenly rose in the room.

Nangong Yu saw that it was not good, and immediately rushed into the cloud of dust, tore open the pile of rags, pulled Yu Chigong out of it, patted the dirt on his body, and told him with lingering fear: "Don't move the things in the house. , I’m afraid there will be an agency.”

Yu Chigong coughed twice, nodded in disgrace, and then looked at the place where the curtain fell—it was a wall.

"It's so strange, there are no windows, no wonder the room is so dark." Yu Chigong made a gesture to touch the wall, but Nangong Yu grabbed his hand.

"Don't move around! There's something strange in this room, you step back, and I'll take a look."

Nangong Yu blocked Yu Chigong from behind, and carefully tapped on the wall where the clothes drying pole was used, a large piece of wall skin rustled down on the wall, revealing the blue bricks.

"It's true. From the outside of the Xiuxin Pavilion, this should be a window, and even curtains can be seen. How could this be a wall?" Nangong Yu was very surprised.

"Looking at the appearance of this room, it should be very old, but I remember looking from the outside of the Xiuxin Hall, the windows are made of glass, exactly the same as those on the first and second floors. Are the external windows installed later?" Yuchi Gong thought for a while and said.

"It's possible." Nangong Yu nodded and looked around again.

There is a carved partition in the middle of the room, which divides the room into two parts. The hollow pattern on the top is covered with dust and can't be seen clearly, only large and small hollow holes can be seen. There is a big bed on the east wall, a dusty quilt is thickly spread on the bed, and two big pillows are placed at the head of the bed. Nangong Yu carefully lifts the quilt away with a clothes rail to look at it. Under the quilt is a A beautiful jacquard bed sheet, and no bones as he expected.

There was a cabinet-like thing standing beside the bed, and a chair at the foot of the bed. There seemed to be a small piece of oval carpet under the bed. When it was knocked with a clothes rail, it immediately turned into a cloud of dust. Standing in the northwest corner of the room was a half- There are two pottery flowerpots placed on the flower stand. The plants in the flowerpots have withered and dried up into a thin thread in the flowerpot, which hangs down from the flowerpot. Needless to say, the thin thread is used for When the clothes drying pole was touched, it fell to the ground with a rustle and turned into ashes, as if it had never existed.

There is a painting hanging on the west wall, which occupies most of the wall. The painting is full of dust, and only the protrusions on the edge of the frame can be seen. Nangong Yu carefully swept it with a broom, and the exquisite patterns on the edge of the frame disappeared Revealed, reflecting the golden light under the illumination of the light.

"This picture frame is made of gold?!" Yu Chigong exclaimed.

"It should be gold-plated, otherwise such a heavy picture frame would have fallen off after hanging on the wall for so long." Nangong Yu continued to carefully sweep the picture with a broom, and a large cloud of dust fell down , vaguely revealing the whole picture of the painting.

This is an inconspicuous landscape painting, the style of painting is not delicate, the material selection is also very general, the color matching is particularly bad, and it does not match the golden frame, but since this room has existed for a long time, this painting should be The color has changed, Nangong Yu thought.

"Can I touch it?" Yu Chigong was so curious, it was the first time he had seen such an ancient painting.

Seeing Yu Chigong's expectant look, Nangong Yu tapped carefully on the painting with a clothes drying pole, feeling that there was no mechanism, so she nodded in agreement.

Yu Chigong stretched out his index finger excitedly, and lightly scratched the painting, the paint on the painting immediately fell off, revealing a smear of silver.

"Ah, no, the color has faded!" Yu Chigong immediately took a step back, grabbed Nangong Yu's hand, and asked anxiously, "Is this painting the same as the one in the hall?"

Nangong Yu took the clothes rail and tapped heavily on the painting again. The metal fork of the clothes rail fell on the painting, making the sound of metal collision.

"This painting seems to be made of metal." Nangong Yu handed the clothes drying pole to Yu Chigong, reached out to touch the painting, and also wiped off a piece of paint, revealing a touch of gold.

Yuchi Gong's eyes widened, seeing the golden color getting bigger and bigger under the smear of Nangong Yu, he leaned the clothes drying pole against the wall, and stretched out his hand to wipe it again.

"It's strange." Yu Chigong said with his neck tilted, "Why is the one you wiped out golden, while the one I wiped out is silver?"

"Well, it's very strange." Nangong Yu took two steps back and carefully looked at the painting in front of him. Yu Chigong also took two steps back for fear of blocking Nangong Yu's view.

Yu Chigong didn't notice that the clothes-horse was still leaning against the wall, he tripped over the clothes-horse, fell heavily on the ground, a cloud of dust rose up on the ground, and soiled him again.
