First, as soon as everyone stepped into the courtyard, the courtyard door slammed shut with a clang.
The two large wooden doors, which were already somewhat decayed, seemed to come alive in an instant. The dust on the doors disappeared inexplicably, and the doors turned a strange red color, as if they were flowing blood. He Mingyue and Shen Rou Even with all my strength, I couldn't open it from the inside.
Then Jiang Xi, who was taking a video and wanted to record it, screamed. Her phone screen suddenly went black and she couldn't turn it on. The same goes for other people's mobile phones, which instantly became bricks for decoration.
The next thing was Shen Rou yelling that something was touching her, but there was nothing around her except the weeds and the two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Xi.
It was clearly a clear day and the sky was clear, but the three girls all felt that this place was very eerie and scary, as if something strange and scary might appear at any time.
This place doesn't look like the ancestral home of a rich man at all, but it looks a bit like a place haunted by ghosts and ghosts.
Although in He Mingyue's memory, ghosts in this world are only legends and fabricated fallacies.
But Mingyue, who has traveled through many planes, knows that things that ordinary people know are filtered, and the truth of some things is only qualified to know in specific positions.
So even if there are ghosts in this world, it is not strange.
Moreover, this place was too deserted, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Mingyue's mouth.
If you really cared about your ancestors, how could the ancestral home be like this
Also, whose family respects their ancestors and brings Taoist priests and monks? Is this respecting the ancestors or destroying the ancestors
Thinking of this, an idea flashed in Mingyue's mind. Just as she was about to catch something, a sudden change occurred here.
A gust of cool wind blew through the rows of locust trees and a large field of wild grass, making the leaves and grass whine. The several sounds were mixed together, inexplicably like countless women gathered together to make plaintive sobs. Resentful and desolate.
From the red ground of the main courtyard, large clouds of black mist suddenly seeped out. The smoke spread quickly, covering the entire place in an instant. The sky in the entire courtyard changed from sunny day to evening in an instant. .
It wasn't until this moment that the calmness on Jiang Huai's face was broken. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and the hand holding Mingyue was subconsciously a little heavier.
The Taoist priest squeezed the talisman in his hand and uttered two words with some excitement: "Here we come."
What's coming
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at the fire-burned main courtyard in front of her, her eyes looking strange for a moment.
In a blink of an eye, the surrounding black fog became thicker and thicker. The entire ancestral house was completely covered by the black fog, and the sky became darker and darker, to the point where it was impossible to see even one's fingers.
In the darkness, in the distance towards the main courtyard, two big red lanterns suddenly appeared in the air about two meters high. In the mist, the two lanterns were like the eyes of monsters, staring coldly. Trespassers.
Shen Rou's teeth chattered up and down, and her voice trembled violently: "Yes, there is a ghost, ghost, the ghost is coming..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the place changed again.
Mingyue only felt like flowers were blooming in front of her eyes, and the thick fog dissipated in an instant. The desolate courtyard seemed to have restored its former glory, with pavilions, pavilions, screen walls and rockeries, and ancient buildings with carved beams and painted beams everywhere. There were bright red lanterns, and the word '囍' was posted everywhere on the doors and windows.
There seemed to be a wedding banquet being held here. Noisy and messy conversations replaced the strange noises made by the leaves, but if you listened carefully, you couldn't hear the sounds clearly.
"Amitabha." The monk said the Buddha's words, paused with the rosary on his fingertips, and slowly opened his eyes. Those eyes actually had double pupils.
"Ah, the banquet is about to begin, why are these distinguished guests still here?"
When Mingyue heard the sound, she saw a young woman wearing a light pink dress and a bun on the stone path in the garden, rushing towards the crowd without stopping. In just a blink of an eye, the woman in pink clothes was already in front of her.
The woman in pink clothes folded her hands in front of her waist, made a blessing ceremony, and said with a smile: "My ladies have been waiting for a long time. Distinguished guests, please follow me and take your seats first."
Shen Rou and Jiang Xi both had their eyes widened. Their eyes were full of fear when they saw this woman who suddenly appeared. The two of them were shaking like chaff and hugged each other tightly, not daring to make any sound from their mouths. .
Jiang He's eyes were full of disbelief, and he even rubbed his eyes heavily, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Jiang Huai took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "Please lead the way, girl."
The woman in pink glanced at Jiang Huai, a trace of malice quickly flashed in her eyes, and she said as if to deliberately tease him: "Okay, I will take you on your way now."
"Excuse me, miss." Jiang Huai's expression did not change, as if he did not hear the implication of her words.
Lead the way, go on the road, these are not good words!
Mingyue's eyes narrowed slightly, this 'boyfriend' was indeed very problematic.
The woman in pink suddenly chuckled, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Distinguished guests, please come."
Jiang Huai took Mingyue's hand and walked in front without saying a word.
The monks and Taoist priests immediately followed him. Jiang He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and had no choice but to follow.
Shen Rou and Jiang Xi didn't want to leave, but now it was obviously not a question of whether they wanted to or not. The two of them looked at each other in fear. They didn't even have the courage to say no to the woman in pink, and finally followed the others tremblingly. behind.
Several pear trees along the road were hung with festive red lanterns, and everyone was getting closer and closer to the noise.
After bypassing the rockery pavilion, we walked onto the hand-painted verandah, which connected the hanging flower door, the side rooms, and the elegant main room. There was also an extremely spacious inner courtyard in the middle.
At this time, there were dozens of log tables in the yard, with seven or eight women sitting at each table. Next to each woman was a fist-sized bowl.
At this time, everyone discovered that the messy conversations were all made by these women, but even now, they still couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
The closer you get to the table where Mingyue and others sit, the more modern the clothes of the women sitting around are.
Looking at the women on these tables one by one, it feels like looking at the evolutionary history of women's clothing in ancient times.
Because these women all have their backs to Mingyue, Mingyue doesn't know if their makeup is the same.
However, facing this situation, Mingyue already had a rough guess in her mind. In short... it was not a good thing.
The woman in pink made a blessing towards the courtyard in front and said crisply: "Madams, ladies, distinguished guests are already here."
In an instant, all the noisy chatter disappeared, and the whole courtyard became quiet.
At the same time, all the women's heads turned.
