We climbed over the courtyard wall easily and opened the door in the middle.
As soon as the door opened, a choking musty smell rushed towards me. I glanced around the room and saw that trash was scattered all over the floor, covered with a thick layer of dust.
What kind of mystery could there be in a place like this, which is obviously an abandoned courtyard that has been uninhabited for a long time? I frowned and looked around carefully, but found nothing.
"I don't see anything surprising here. Maybe it's just a coincidence that Lao Youxin appears here." Ren Yonghai said.
In a few minutes, we have looked around all three rooms, and found nothing. There was thick dust in the room. If something had happened here, it would have left some traces. But the dust was well preserved, and the above
There are no traces of footprints at all.
I carefully checked the door handle and window frame, and it was the same.
After all the efforts were in vain, we returned to the car. Only half an hour had passed, and the dark clouds were threatening to overwhelm us. It seemed that at the next moment, heavy rain would hit the city and crush the village.
We were the only car in the wilderness. Looking around, there was no human trace within sight. It seemed like we were the only two people left in the world.
"Lin Kun, what are you doing here?" Ren Yonghai asked curiously.
I just mentioned to him that Xu Duobao met Lao Youxin by chance, so I took him to the cemetery. I didn't know the cause and effect of the incident.
After I finished speaking, the car was quiet for a while, and neither of us spoke.
I turned my head and looked out the window. Under the gloomy sky, the surrounding area was as dark as night. Especially the cemetery on the mountainside. Although I knew clearly that the tombstones filling the mountain were just empty graves without owners, but in this gloomy atmosphere,
Next, it seemed to become particularly gloomy.
As for the small farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, when I look at it, I always feel that it has a very strange and weird feeling.
At this moment, a silent bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​the small courtyard in an instant.
My eyes suddenly lit up, and some vague thoughts came to my mind.
I didn't care to call out to Ren Yonghai, opened the car door, and ran towards the hilltop of the cemetery.
"Hey, Lin Kun, what's going on?"
In the sky, the thick clouds were beginning to move, several thunders rang in my ears, and raindrops began to fall on me.
I ran all the way and quickly reached the top of the mountain. I stood here and looked down. Within the immediate range of my eyes, apart from the tombstones all over the mountain, there was only the small farmhouse standing alone at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding terrain was
It is strange, like a huge funnel, covering the apartment, and the small courtyard is at the eye of the entire funnel.
"Look, the location of that small courtyard looks like something is being brought together." I pointed to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and said to Ren Yonghai.
Ren Yonghai looked along my finger. At this time, heavy rain had begun to fall from the sky, filling the entire sky.
Whether it was an illusion or a real situation, the rainwater around that small building seemed to be pulled by some inexplicable force, twisting and falling in a weird downward spiral curve toward the small courtyard at the center of the spiral.
Even if the wind blows, it cannot change the trajectory of the rain at all.
"What...what is this situation?" Ren Yonghai looked at this situation blankly, a little confused.
I wiped away the rainwater, looked down and said, "Have you noticed that the layout of the entire cemetery looks like a Feng Shui array?"
"can not tell."
"The terrain and mountain shape here are very ordinary. It is not a famous Feng Shui pattern. Logically speaking, there is nothing weird. It's just that when this cemetery was built, a certain Feng Shui pattern was deliberately implanted." I paused.
After a pause, he continued: "Look at the west side. Is the order of the tombstones slightly different from the east side?"
"seems like it."
The arrangement of tombstones in the entire cemetery is not as neat as it seems from a distance. Looking down from the top of the mountain, it can be clearly seen that there are subtle differences in different directions and between columns. They seem to follow a certain pattern.
Various formations are built in order.
"Although there are no corpses in the cemetery, the people who sweep the tombs are often filled with gloomy energy. The purpose of this formation is to gather the gloomy energy of strangers and a point, and that point is where the small courtyard is located."
"What's the purpose of this?"
I did not answer directly and continued: "Not only that, Tombstone is just a small formation, the real large formation is in the surrounding mountainous terrain. I just looked around, there are quarries on the east side, golf courses on the west side, although there are
There are no buildings, but there are many communication towers. At first glance, there seems to be nothing weird, but in fact they are all built one by one according to the Feng Shui pattern. It is not visible on weekdays, but in such an environment, there are some changes in the direction of the rainwater.
The trajectory can be described.”
After my explanation, Ren Yonghai looked around and saw the rain curtain all over the sky. It seemed to be a little different here. The trajectory of the rain had nothing to do with the direction of the wind.
"Then what kind of situation is this?"
"Do you still remember the Bagua Shuangyin Dragon Tower Palace I mentioned?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"This pattern is similar to the Bagua Shuangyin Dragon Tower Palace, but that is a formation and this one is a Feng Shui pattern."
"oh?"
"This is called the Jiulong Soul-Suppressing Bureau." I pointed to the farmyard below and said: "The purpose of this Bureau is different from the ordinary Feng Shui Bureau. It is not to guide the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, but to lock the formation's eyes.
The evil spirit of the formation is prevented from leaking out. This rainwater is only pulled by the force of the formation eye lock, so it will not be affected by the wind and tilt in that direction."
"Kowloon Soul Suppression Bureau?" Ren Yonghai took a breath of air and asked, "What can this Feng Shui Bureau be used for?"
I stared at the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, my face darkened, and I said: "This is an ancient evil magic. It was originally used to build tombs for emperors of all dynasties. Later, it was used by some people with ulterior motives to refine corpse locks.
Soul, can achieve miraculous effects."
With a "boom", a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, lightning passed by, and a white light lit up in the dark sky and earth.
Ren Yonghai and I stood in the mountains, looking at the courtyard at the foot of the mountains.
The courtyard is still silent, but what kind of secrets are hidden under its seemingly deserted appearance?
The pouring rain poured down, soaking me all over, but we didn't care about it at this moment. After coming down from the top of the mountain, a few minutes later, we appeared in front of the small courtyard again. In the pouring rain, the small courtyard in front of us looked...
Somewhat ferocious.
Having inspected the front before, we walked around the wall and came to the back of the courtyard.
On the back of the small courtyard, there is a low tiled house built, which looks a bit like a cowshed. The foot of the mountain where the small courtyard is located is located in an inward sunken den. If the shed behind the house is not walking
If you look closely, you can't see any trace of it anywhere else.
I opened the locked shed door and walked in, only to find that although it looked inconspicuous from the outside, the space inside was surprisingly spacious. Standing next to two grown men, Ren Yonghai and me, it didn't look cramped.
The shed was empty, there was nothing,
But in the middle, against the wall, there is a stone Buddhist niche, which enshrines Guan Gong.
"Why is there nothing here? Have you made a mistake?" Ren Yonghai turned around and asked me with a little doubt.
I shook my head and didn't answer him. I walked to the side of the Buddhist niche and carefully inspected every corner. Based on all the previous signs, I have reason to believe that there must be some ulterior secrets hidden in places we haven't discovered yet.
Apart from anything else, the existence of this illegally built shed that resembles a Buddhist temple is very awkward. Ordinary farmhouses would at least enshrine Guan Gong in their own main hall. How could they build a shed behind the house to worship Guan Gong?
reason?
Regardless of whether it is respectful or not, I won’t say it, but every time I offer incense and pray to the Buddha, I have to run a few more steps to come to this shack. Most people don’t do this so much. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to worship in the main room?
But where is the secret hidden?
The shack was empty. The only thing was this Buddhist niche. What could be hidden in such a small place? Just when I was looking at the Buddhist niche attentively, Ren Yonghai seemed to have discovered something. He took my hand and said,
Pointing to the ground, he said, "Lin Kun, look at the water on the ground. Is there anything weird about it?"
I looked down and saw that the shack was in disrepair for a long time. There were many gaps between the roof and walls. The waterproof performance was not very good. Under the heavy rain, a lot of rainwater had seeped into the ground.
Following his guidance, I immediately saw the problem. In the corner of the wall, several water bubbles popped up, and the rainwater that penetrated was flowing into other places along a tiny gap.
This gap is extremely narrow. On normal days, it is almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but under the attack of rain, an obvious dividing line appears. The water below the line is gurgling, but the above line is still dry.
We both looked at each other, and a thought came to our minds, there was a tunnel underneath.
I withdrew my gaze from the gap and fell on the Buddhist niche again. At this glance, more abnormalities emerged. Although it was a Buddhist niche, Guan Gong was worshiped in a decent way, but there was nothing in front of the Buddhist niche.
of incense, not even an incense burner.
Ren Yonghai stepped forward and tried to pull the Buddhist niche, but it didn't move at all and there was no reaction at all. I walked back and forth around the Buddhist niche a few times, and my eyes suddenly lit up, and I made a discovery.
The head position of this stone statue of Guan Gong seems to be smoother and rounder than other parts, and there is no rough surface like stone carvings should have.
It seems that he is often touched on the top of his head.
I walked to the front of the Buddhist niche, reached out and pressed the head of the Buddha statue, and tried to turn it to both sides.
The Buddha statue remained motionless.
I tried pressing down again, but still no movement.
"Did I guess wrong?" I frowned and looked left and right, then reached behind the statue of Guan Gong and groped around again, but found nothing.
After a while, I suddenly realized that turning and pressing down didn't work, so what about lifting it up? My hands moved as my heart moved, and I held Guan Gong's head and lifted it up with all my strength.
There was a "click" and a soft sound came from the wall. Then, in the corner of the room, along the previous gap, the stone slab slowly retracted into the wall, revealing a dark entrance.
"Sure enough, there is a doorway." I turned on the flashlight and got into the tunnel entrance.
The tunnel is not long. After the steps extended down for seven or eight meters, I quickly reached the end and a wooden door stood in front of me.
The door was locked as expected, which of course didn't bother me, so I broke in easily.
Chapter completed!
