A group of seven people entered the village.
I found that the architecture of this village was a bit strange, and it was a bit different from the usual villages. It was the weirdest thing.
After entering the village, everyone felt an uncomfortable, eerie feeling.
As a spiritual practitioner, Luo Xing noticed something was wrong. The style of the buildings and roads in this village were different from the normal ones.
"Everyone, be careful. This village is built in a tomb style. This is a village with a shady house built on the ground!" Hu Sanniang was well-informed and recognized it quickly.
"What?"
"Who builds a ghost house to live in? This is so unlucky!" Xiong Er cursed.
"Normal people will definitely not live in a ghost house, but there is a kind of person who is not a normal person. They do some shameful things all year round. Over time, they get used to it, but they are not used to living in a house in the human world!" Yang Yingchun said.
"Grave robbers, local masters, or in other words, this may be a ghost house village built by the Chiki organization." Luo Xing took over the conversation.
"Chiqi, they are building a ghost house here. I think these buildings are at least ten years old. How did these building materials come in..."
"Using local materials, the people in Chiki have recruited elites from all walks of life. Some people can make clay bricks, some can do carpentry, and some can do bricklaying. This is normal." Luo Xing read the information on "Chiki" and explained road.
"No wonder." Everyone clicked their tongues.
"Everyone, be careful. This village looks empty, but it may not be empty. Don't touch things, and don't act alone." Luo Xing ordered.
"Xiao Qi, this village is really not small. It can accommodate at least hundreds of people living here. How do they do this in Funiu Mountain?"
"They don't seem to make fires for cooking. Look, these buildings don't have chimneys. How can living people live here without fire?" Luo Xing also found it strange that even in ghost houses, if living people live there, there will be smoke and smoke. .
"Could it be that they have been eating raw food for a long time?"
"For long-term raw food, ferocious beasts can do it, but people can't. Unless the person has lived the same life as a ferocious beast since childhood, but one or two people can do it, and hundreds of people do the same, it will be too difficult." Luo Xing shook his head. .
Yang Yingchun said: "Perhaps this is just a superficial appearance, and what we see is just what these people want us to see?"
"Then why did they build such a big dark house village?"
"We are only in the village now and have not entered any house. If we want to know the secret, do we have to enter a house and have a look?" Hu Sanniang said.
"Master Hu is right." Liang Guochun agreed, "The houses here are all of similar specifications. Why don't we just enter one of them and try it out?"
"Don't worry, let's walk around the village first and draw the map of the village. Then we can explore the situation inside the house." Luo Xing said.
With charcoal and white paper, Luo Xing recorded the relevant roads and houses' locations on them as he walked, and marked numbers and dimensions.
After this communication, a map of the village appeared in front of everyone. It was so intuitive to see.
It is really very similar to the regulations of the underground tomb, and if the tomb is built according to this specification, it will really exceed the average emperor's tomb.
Although the above-ground buildings are not very eye-catching, if they are built underground, the technical difficulty will increase hundreds of times.
The main work volume of the tomb is inside.
The roads in the village can be regarded as corridors or engineering passages in the tomb, while the houses in the village can be regarded as display rooms for burial items. As for the main tomb chamber, side tomb chambers, and side halls, various buildings are all It can be judged based on the size of the house.
Xiao Hui in his arms suddenly stretched out his claws and scratched Luo Xing's chest twice, which clearly meant that he had discovered something.
This guy has a keen sense of smell. The smell of ordinary people or objects will disappear automatically over time, and normal people's sense of smell will not be detectable.
But the "scent-scenting rat" can, otherwise, it would not have stayed at the exit of the ghost market for half a month, and finally caught the Lu brothers who had changed their appearance.
Regardless of whether it is Ye Liuli or Qingyi, Wen Xiangshu has lived with them under the same roof for so many days. The smell of these two women has long been familiar to them, and a closed space is the time when it is easier to retain the smell.
If the scent-smelling mouse finds something, it means that both Ye Liuli and Qingyi from this village have been here.
"Xiao Hui, let's go, take me to the place you found." Luo Xing ordered, and Xiao Hui squeaked out of Luo Xing's arms and flew towards a "side hall".
"Everyone, follow." Luo Xing waved his hand, and everyone followed. ,
The door opened with a slight push.
When I walked in, I saw that it was completely dark inside. When the fire broke out, the scene in the whole house made people feel chills running down their backs.
There was nothing else inside, except for seven or eight coffins, including stone coffins, wooden coffins, and one obviously small coffin.
It looks like a whole family.
Looking at the inscriptions on the coffins, they all have names. These eight coffins are really a family.
This is a little weird.
Is there anyone in the coffin? Or is this just a gimmick, used to scare outsiders who come into the village?
At this time, the role of "spiritual companion" comes into play. The effect of having "Ji Yu'er" and not having "Ji Yu'er" is completely different.
Ji Yuer can explore places that are invisible to the naked eye, such as inside the walls, under the floor, and even inside the coffin.
Unless there are mechanisms or traps designed to harm "spirit bodies", this place is completely transparent to Ji Yu'er.
Similarly, for Luo Xing, there is no special secret.
"All the coffins are empty, but there is a secret entrance under the smallest coffin in the middle, and the trap is..."
"Thank you." Luo Xing expressed his gratitude to "Ji Yu'er", and at the same time asked her to go deep into the secret passage, explore the situation inside, and keep in touch at any time.
"Captain Luo is actually a spiritual practitioner?" Liang Guochun was a little surprised to see that Luo Xing could actually use spiritual arts.
"Xiao Qi is my husband's disciple, so he is naturally a spiritual practitioner." Before Luo Xing could explain, Hu Sanniang spoke first.
"It turns out it's Senior Manager Meng, no wonder." Liang Guochun was even more surprised and thought to himself, no wonder this group of people, whether Hu Sanniang or Duan Tieniu, have much higher cultivation and official positions than the captain surnamed Luo. Is it possible? Cheng Cheng made him the team leader because of his relationship with General Qingyi. Unexpectedly, he also had such a relationship with Meng Yi. No wonder Hu Sanniang defended him so much, he was his disciple.
How could this boy be so virtuous and capable, how could he be favored by so many people? He also came from a secret camp, and it took him so many years to reach his current status. This is really irritating.
All the coffins were empty.
But the inside of the coffin was very clean and had no peculiar smell at all. There were even traces of long-term use on the inner walls.
This coffin is often used for sleeping.
Moreover, there are ventilation holes in the invisible corners of the coffin, and these holes can be controlled closed and opened.
In other words, even if a person lies in it, as long as the air vent is opened, the person inside will not feel suffocated.
Sleeping in a coffin with a living person is like the behavior of a "grave robber". This "Chi Kiss" has such a weird habit.
There is nothing valuable in the whole house except for the ever-burning lamp. It can be said that the house is bare.
"Xiao Qi, this everlasting lantern doesn't seem to be an ordinary one. It looks like the style of the palace lantern from the former Dali Dynasty."
"Dali Dynasty, the Dali Dynasty that was overthrown by Ye family three hundred years ago?" Luo Xing was surprised.
"Three hundred years ago, the Yuling Sect rose up, and the decadent Dali Dynasty colluded with the Yuling Sect in order to continue the dynasty. In the end, the whole world fought against it, the Dali Dynasty collapsed, and the Yuling Sect also disappeared, becoming today's spiritual practice It's a taboo in the world!" Hu Sanniang said.
"Lixia Village, I thought it was meant to be under the protection of others. If this everlasting lantern is the standard palace lantern of the Dali Dynasty, then the people living in this village may be descendants of the Dali Dynasty. It is located deep in the Funiu Mountains and is inaccessible. It makes sense for them to build such a village and live here in isolation."
At this time, Yang Yingchun spoke: "The Dali Dynasty was destroyed, and most of its royal family members were killed. Only a few distant bloodlines survived, but they did not dare to reveal their identities. What's more, three hundred years have passed. Even if they are orthodox, Heirs are not counted as successors. If the Dali Dynasty wants to restore its country, it will basically be difficult to reach the sky."
"Squeak!"
Xiao Hui, who went down from the bottom entrance of the small coffin to explore the way first, sent a signal, which meant that the underground was safe.
"Brother Tieniu, you stay outside and meet us at any time. The others come down with me!" Luo Xing arranged for Duan Tieniu to stay behind for safety, and the others followed him to the ground.
Walking down the built stairway, it was seven or eight meters deep, and then we reached a flat ground. There was indeed a cave underneath.
The space is large, and the temperature is much higher than on the ground, and you can hardly feel the cold.
The air is also very fresh. It should be that the ventilation system between the underground space and the outside world is very good.
We can see many traces of life here, including kitchens, bedrooms, study rooms, even a square where children play, and a martial arts field for practicing martial arts...
However, like the one above, it is also deserted, leaving only traces of life. However, they should have left on their own initiative. Although this habitat was abandoned, it was not destroyed. They just left with the necessary things.
This is strange. You live well, why would you leave?
Even if they are descendants of the Dali Dynasty, more than three hundred years have passed and the court has long stopped pursuing them. Even if these people want to restore the country, they do not have the strength and opportunity.
What force made them move the whole village away? There were hundreds of people there. If they migrated, there would be no trace at all, unless they went deep into the Funiu Mountains.
That is beyond the control of the court.
Xiao Hui came out of nowhere, holding a piece of silk handkerchief in his mouth. Luo Xing recognized it at a glance. It was Qingyi's personal possession, or he had selected it for her and bought it as a gift to her.
Qingyi is not a good girl, so she embroidered the word "seven" on the corner of her silk handkerchief, which was so crooked that Luo Xing even made fun of her.
