Hu Ming directed several people to look ahead at the door leading to the front hall.
On a pair of pillars in front of the door hang two couplets carved out of wooden boards.
It was covered with fungus-like mold. After wiping away the dirt on it, the contents of the couplet came into view.
Already, Yanran is playing a triumphant song, but I am still thinking about Qufu and humming poems.
These are two very common couplets, which roughly mean that the owner of this courtyard has military merit and is a soldier.
The undercurrent at the bottom of the lake became more and more rapid at this time. In the perception of several people, the center of the undercurrent was obviously deep in this ancient building.
This made Wu Xie somewhat uneasy. The water flow became more and more rapid, which meant that the resistance became greater when they returned from the original route.
Coupled with the fact that more than half of their oxygen has been consumed, this situation is really not good.
But ahead, Hu Ming and his brother had already passed through the portal and entered the ancient building deeper.
The fat man also rubbed his hands and followed the two of them enthusiastically, without any worry at all.
Seeing this, Wu Xie sighed slightly, gave up the idea of persuading the three of them, and swam over.
Having found this place, how could we be willing to just return in vain without digging out some useful information?
At this time, Hu Ming, who was walking at the front, was already walking along the corridor. When I came to the entrance of a front hall, I stopped here and waited for the people behind me.
The front building has been soaked in water for many years, and most of it has rotted away. Only the frame made of specially treated wood remains intact.
According to the habits of the Han people in the past, the front hall of a wealthy family must have plaques, spiritual tablets and other things in the attic. These things will inevitably reveal some information about the owner.
Of course, Hu Ming knew that this was the building on the ancient Zhang family building, and that those people once lived here.
There must be no such thing as a spiritual tablet attic here. The dead ancestors of the Zhang family, spiritual tablets and other things are all buried underground!
However, Hu Ming is here We did find a plaque in the vestibule that was almost in shambles.
The specific content above can no longer be seen clearly. After wiping off the attachments, only the signature on the lower right side is still clear.
Zhangjia original poster!
These are the only characters that can be vaguely read on it. They are very beautiful calligraphy written in thin gold with profound skills.
Throwing the plaque to Wu Xie who was coming from behind, Wu Xie continued to move along the corridor regardless of how complicated his inner activities were when he saw this thing.
The source of the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, the entrance to the first underground floor of Zhangjia Ancient Building, is not far ahead.
After swimming in the corridor for about five minutes, a few people walked through the long and narrow corridor and walked around to the back hall.
The door to the back hall was locked with a rusty lock, and there were no windows around it for people to enter.
Seeing this, Hu Ming turned over his hand and took out his sword. He didn't care that the current patriarch of the Zhang family was in front of him. He violently cut off the lock and pushed open the door.
The back hall is empty except for some necessary furniture items.
And these furniture items have already rotted into balls after balls of floc. The light of the diving light lit up the back hall, and in the corner of the back hall, a human-shaped shadow suddenly appeared!
“That”
Wu Xie and Fatty swam in behind Hu Ming. When they saw the shadow at first sight, their hearts tightened.
“Be patient and don’t be impatient.”
Hu Ming shook his head and gestured to the two of them not to be nervous.
At the same time, adjust the focus of the diving light to illuminate the shadowed parts.
Looking carefully, it is a screen standing in the corner of the back hall.
I don’t know what material the screen is made of, but it shows no signs of decay and is still intact.
Looking from a distance, the shadow just now seemed to be a scroll on the screen
But when he looked closer, Wu Xie's scalp suddenly felt numb.
The screen is clearly blank. Where is the scroll?
The figure is clearly reflected from something behind the screen!
Subconsciously, Wu Xie took a few steps back, facing the strange looks from Hu Ming and the others without changing his expression.
The powerful light of the diving light penetrates downwards, and the figure behind it is quite clear.
What is creepy is that the figure's posture is unusually weird.
The whole figure stood upright in the back, and its shoulders were collapsed!
For the first time, Wu Xie suddenly remembered the first day he came to Yao Village At night, I saw Da’s ghost in the wooden building of Agui’s house!
If he wasn't in the water, Wu Xie might not have gasped subconsciously.
After Wu Xie saw this shadow of slumped shoulders once, he was deeply impressed and would never forget it.
Take a closer look.
“.GuluGulu cough cough”
Wu Xie felt a chill in his back and subconsciously wanted to spit out the fragrant fragrance to vent the fear in his heart, but he opened his mouth , the lake water mixed with countless unknown floating objects poured into the mouth.
Wu Xie couldn't care about this at this time. He swallowed a big mouthful of lake water with difficulty, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and his eyes widened.
This screen, this ghost, this environment
It is clearly the image in the photo that Brother Chu gave to Wu Xie before!
Where is the checkered wood? Nursing home, that photo was clearly taken here!!!
Especially, whether it was an illusion or not, Wu Xie always felt that the shadow seemed to be floating in place, like a living thing.
What is this thing? The humanoid-like monster that I encountered before?
No, the shoulders of that thing are not collapsed.
Could it be a water ghost? But
Watching Hu Ming pouting, Wu Xie was a little confused.
After being together for such a long time, Wu Xie already understood the meaning of some of Hu Ming's little actions.
What do you mean by curling your lips? This thing is not a threat?
I saw Hu Ming swimming through the water with his flippers, grabbing the screen, and throwing it out.
“..Gurgling, cough cough..”
Wu Xie’s face turned green instantly not because he lost control of his emotions and drank a lot of dirty water twice in a row, but because he felt that his Emotions have been deceived.
