Du Yan looked up at the roof of the front hall of the ancestral hall, and then crossed the empty patio in the middle to look at the main hall. The roofs of these two parts are painted with exquisite lacquer paintings, which are completely typical of the classical architectural style of wood joints.
The back hall is separated by partitions, and you can't see what's inside, but the back hall is generally where the ancestral tablets are enshrined, and the local villagers must be locked up for safekeeping to prevent being offended.
Apart from these, even Du Yan didn't find anything else hanging on the roof beams. Du Yan glanced at Xiao Lang, and it seemed that his special physique was at work again.
In the movie, the ancient village is the junction where everyone steps into another Shunping city. Xiao Lang's ability will gradually be released, and Du Yan has no way to stop it. Because this is the cornerstone of the dream world, without the cornerstone, the dream world will collapse directly.
In fact, in terms of the plot of the whole movie, Xiao Lang's friends can be regarded as innocents affected by his special abilities.
Specter wants to devour Xiao Lang's soul, and it can only happen when the three fires on his shoulders are extinguished. Now it seems that Xiao Lang is a person who is not easily influenced, and pure fear cannot achieve this effect.
Then he can only start with the people around him, infect Xiao Lang through the fear of the people around him, and finally disintegrate his psychological defense line with the tragic death of his friend. No matter how unshakable people are, when they see the tragic death of their friends who have been with each other day and night, they will always be shaken in an instant.
It is precisely because the existence of Xiao Lang's friends is extremely important that the other Specter in Shunping City will never let them go. Even if Du Yan prevented them from coming to this ancient village, they could not leave Shunping City.
Therefore, Du Yan's plan was to follow the plot and wait for them to enter another Shunping City, and then find a way to send Xiao Lang's friends out, leaving Xiao Lang alone.
Xiao Lang died, and his friends had no use value, so they were able to leave smoothly. When Xiao Lang becomes the ghost king, all problems will be solved, and he will not feel guilty for the tragic death of his friend.
Xiao Lang was looking down at the travel brochure. It said that the ancestral hall was built more than 200 years ago, and it was a building of the same period as the chastity arch at the entrance of the village.
These lacquer paintings were also painted that year, and after that, craftsmen were invited to repair and maintain them every ten years in the village, so they still maintain their intact appearance until now.
Xiao Lang raised his head, smiled at Du Yan and said, "This is your professional scope. You can study it carefully. Maybe you will have some inspiration when you paint."
After Du Yan listened to Xiao Lang's words, he felt that his current personality could not collapse for the time being. So he probed into the lacquer painting on the pillar in the entrance hall.
A piece of lacquer painting on the pillar has peeled off, revealing a bit of the underlying color. The underlying background color is very blurred. The lines and colors are all blurred, and it is almost impossible to see what it is.
Du Yan's eyes fell on it, and he looked at it intently for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "These lacquer paintings are really interesting. It's a pity that we can't go in and take a closer look. Let's go."
The other few people were laymen, and they were just watching the excitement. The places they could see at a glance at the ancestral hall had already been seen by them. Now I heard Du Yan, an art student who came to collect the wind, say that he was going to leave.
The construction of the ancestral hall pays attention to the fact that there is water at the entrance, and there is a pond in front of the ancestral hall, so everyone followed the instructions of the manual and walked to the rear along the ancestral hall.
Going around a few old houses, I saw another representative scenic spot, the big banyan tree mentioned in the manual. The manual introduces that this big banyan tree also has a lifespan of hundreds of years.
The luxuriant banyan branches covered the small square in the middle of the village. The banyan tree has many sturdy aerial roots that have grown to the ground and inserted into the soil, like tree trunks, and it looks like a single tree in the introduction.
Zhou Tian raised his hand and said, "That well is the one the proprietress of the restaurant at the entrance of the village said? This well water is said to be very delicious."
Directly below the banyan tree is a well made of bluestone bricks with a reel above the well.
A group of people walked over and saw that the well water was clear and translucent, and there was a small motor attached to the reel next to it. It turned out that this was an electric reel, and it seemed that it was for the convenience of the elderly living in the village to fetch water.
Although the small motor looks a little out of tune with the whole ancient village, but now everyone is headed by a big banyan tree, and below is a well made of bluestone bricks, the whole scene still looks quite different. flavor.
The breeze caressed, the leaves of the big banyan tree rattled, and there were a few crisp bird calls from above. This made the mood of the people present relaxed all of a sudden.
Zhou Tian was very interested and said, "In this ancient village, we should take a leisurely stroll, or we can rest here and chat under the big banyan tree for a while."
The scenery in front of me is really beautiful, and no one has objected.
There are a few rough stone tables and stone benches around the big banyan tree. I don’t know if it was set here after the development of tourism, in order to let tourists rest, or the villagers liked it at the beginning.
Chatting in the shade under the banyan tree.
In short, these stools are now cheaper. Xiao Lang and his party took their seats on the stone stools and took out some water and snacks that they had brought with them.
Drinking drinks, eating snacks, it is rare to be leisurely. In such a beautiful scenery, everyone carefully put the leftover garbage in plastic bags and prepared to take them away later.
Liang Fei was a person who couldn't rest. He saw that everyone was sitting there eating, so he stood up by himself and walked around the big banyan tree.
He first raised his head and looked at the canopy of the tree, and said, "The ecology here is really good, and there are many bird nests on it."
Xu Yuan responded with a smile: "Small villages like this with no industry have not been polluted at all. It is normal to have bird nests."
Liang Fei turned around and went behind the banyan tree. After a while, I suddenly heard an exclamation from behind the banyan tree: "What is this!"
Everyone was taken aback by his surprise and immediately stood up and ran behind the banyan tree.
Liang Feiren had nothing to do. He pointed to a place behind the banyan tree, with some doubts on his face: "Look, this thing is weird and it looks very infiltrating."
Everyone gathered around, and when they got closer, they knew it was an abandoned well.
The way of stacking the bluestone bricks on the ground is almost the same as the well in front, except that a huge stone is pressed at the wellhead of this abandoned well.
In fact, it is understandable to press stones at the wellhead, probably because someone is afraid that someone will accidentally fall into the well.
The main reason for Liang Fei's exclamation was that the stone was too unusual. The stones were densely wrapped with ropes, and the color of the ropes was also very strange.
From the gaps exposed between the ropes, you can see patterns carved with messy lines on the stone, but after being corroded by wind and rain, you can't see the content at all.
On those strangely colored ropes, a wooden sign was tied every ten centimeters. Maybe it's been a long time, and the wooden signs are almost rotten.
But it can be seen that the time when these decayed wooden signs are tied to the rope is different. Looking down from the top along the rope, the more complete the wooden signs are, the more complete they are.
A wooden sign near the wellhead is still intact and new, and it looks like it should have been tied to the rope not long ago.
Liang Fei's heart was big, and he was very curious. He didn't think much about it, and just squatted down to look at the stone tablet.
He looked at it with a serious expression for a moment, and sighed, "There are characters on it, but I can't recognize any of them."
When everyone heard the words, they all leaned over to look, shaking their heads while looking at it, indicating that they didn't know him either.
Du Yan bent down slightly and glanced at it: "The time is written on it, which means that this wooden sign was hung last year, July 15 last year, the lunar calendar."
Xiao Lang looked at Du Yan with some admiration in his tone: "You can understand this too?"
Du Yan said: "This is Xiaozhuan. Some celestial masters like to use this type of font to draw talismans. They feel that they are more able to communicate with the world and the way is natural."
Hearing what Du Yan said, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. I don't know why, but Du Yan suddenly talked about these things, but everyone didn't feel that it was against the law at all. On the contrary, I feel that looks like him, saying these words, is very real.
Xiao Lang asked with a smile, "Do you still have any research on these?"
Du Yan glanced at him and explained: "Folk culture, we always have some research on art."
Seeing that Liang Fei was about to move over there, Du Yan reminded again: "Although you may not believe these things, it is a tradition in the village, it is better not to move."
When Liang Fei heard this, he quickly raised his hand, indicating that he would not touch these mysterious wooden signs.
Except for the two wells under the big banyan tree, there is nothing else, and everyone has almost rested, so they continue to walk along the path. According to the route in the manual, the front is the most representative scenic spot of the ancient village, Juren's House.
Two hundred years ago, there was a Juren in this ancient village, the son of the Fan who was commended by the chastity arch at the entrance.
In ancient times, if a remote village like this could have a master, the villagers of the whole village could benefit. It is also a matter of course to set up a chastity memorial arch for the mother of Master Juren.
Juren's House is completely different from the houses in the ancient village next to it. It is a house with two entrances and two exits.
According to the manual, the part of the backyard is the old house where Juren lived before Zhongjue, and the front part was built by people in the village after the Zhongjue.
The yard in front is neatly arranged, from the gate to the pair of stone lions in front of the gate, all the rules are in line with the identity of the original Juren, and it looks quite imposing.
In the backyard section, the feeling is completely different. Compared with the solemn front, the backyard is much more simple, but it is also more like an ancient home environment.
