The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 968 There Are Buildings Underground

Meng Baolu nodded: "Okay. The matter has to start ten days ago... At that time, I have been studying this blueprint, trying to find out where the stone gate is located. But I have been looking for so long, but I can't match it. The specific location. Until one day..."

When Meng Baolu said this, the outside door was knocked again.

It also stopped with a bang.

This time I couldn't help it, I ran out of the room, quickly came to the door, and looked outside through the crack of the door.

I only saw the back of a villager walking away from the house.His walking posture is still normal, but the speed is a little slower than normal walking.

I turned around and asked Meng Baolu who also came out, "What do these villagers mean by knocking on your door?"

Meng Baolu shook his head: "I don't know either. This situation has been going on for several days. But I feel that they have no ill intentions towards me, otherwise they would not be able to knock on the door and leave. Do you want to tell me something? Twice I chased them out and wanted to ask them what they were going to do, but they quickly ran away when they saw me, and never gave me a chance to meet them."

I touched the door and suddenly thought of something, so I said, "Old village chief, are you still killing cows?"

Meng Baolu was also a little surprised by my sudden question, but he immediately shook his head and replied: "It has been many years since I have not killed cattle. I am old, and I also care about these things related to living beings. In the past, killing cattle was a In order to make a living, I have been doing good deeds now, hoping to cover up the blood on my body."

"Then when you slaughtered cattle, where did you kill them?"

Meng Baolu pointed to the yard and said, "We don't pay much attention to it in the countryside, it's just the hands in this yard."

I nodded: "That's no wonder. Your door must have been stained with the blood of a slaughtered cow. This kind of blood smell can attract some yin things to come. But they are afraid of the hostility on your body, so when they come, they will Get out of the way."

Meng Baolu said: "We who butcher pigs and cattle will have hostility, and I know this. So, these folks in our village really have something wrong? Otherwise, why would they come here smelling the smell of blood? my home?"

"There must be a problem. I also think they are a bit abnormal. But I am also guessing, and there is another possibility that cannot be ruled out. It is that there is still a trace of clarity in their minds. They came to your door to ask for help. But I'm also afraid of your hostility, and I dare not face you face to face. No matter which of the two possibilities I mentioned is true, we have to find the root cause. You can continue to talk about the blueprint..." I asked.

"Okay..." Meng Baolu scratched his scalp, thought for a while, and said, "I'm getting old and my brain is not working well. Where did I just say that?"

Pang Dahai reminded: "You said, I didn't understand the blueprint until one day..."

"Oh yes. Until one day... I was tired of reading in the room, so I put the drawings on the table. At this time, a five or six-year-old child from the village came to my house... Oh, the folk customs of our village are simple, The doors of the rooms are almost always open, and it is common to walk around. Especially children, they can earn some delicious food when they come to anyone’s house, and children often come to our house.”

Meng Baolu was afraid that we would not understand, so he explained to us why children came to his home.

In fact, I can understand what he said, and it is the same in my hometown.When a child comes, the owner will bring out some delicious food for the child. This is a manifestation of the close relationship between neighbors and neighbors, and it is also a manifestation of folk customs.

I nodded, expressing my understanding.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "The child saw the blueprint. The child was very curious, so he picked up the blueprint and looked at it. I was afraid that he would damage the blueprint, so I went up and wanted to get it back. I saw that But the drawing couldn’t help laughing. Because the child took the drawing upside down and turned it upside down, but he still read it with gusto. But I smiled, but I came to my senses, because the child’s action reminded me..."

"Looking at the drawings backwards, what did you think of?" I asked casually.

Meng Baolu smiled slightly: "It's actually very simple. We adults always think that we are smarter than children. In fact, when we look at the problem, it is easy to see the problem as dead. We, of course, include those ancestors in our village. Since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, I have been looking for the building on the ground with the blueprint, but there has been no result. But the child took the blueprint upside down, but it reminded me that we have been looking for the ground, why didn’t we think that the building might be built? What about underground?"

"Underground?" My eyes lit up when I heard that.Indeed, if the building is underground, it may not be possible to find it on the ground for 100 years.In fact, it is not impossible.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "After I had this idea, I put it into action immediately. I sent a few people to find some places in the village with steel drills to probe down to see if they could find anything. After such a Once we searched, we found the problem..."

Speaking of this, Meng Baolu stretched his neck, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and paused for a while.

We also know that the key node of the matter is here.

Meng Baolu took another deep breath, and continued: "A villager reported to me that a stone slab was found in the ground behind the village's ancestral hall. The stone slab was buried by a thick layer of soil. The upper layer of soil is getting thinner and thinner. This time I asked them to use steel drills to dig into the ground. They tried to use steel drills to penetrate down there, and they found the stone slab. They used tools to dig out the remaining soil layer. open, and then hit the stone slab with an iron rod. It turned out that through the stone slab, there was an empty sound coming from below. This sound was different from the sound of stone knocking in other places, so they reported to me that I did not If you dare to be negligent, hurry up and take people over there..."

Meng Baolu slowly talked about what happened at that time, and we stopped interrupting him and listened to him quietly.

In the end, we learned that the situation at that time was as follows:

On that day, Meng Baolu led people to rush to the village ancestral hall, and there were about a dozen people gathered around the stone slab.

The ancestral hall in the village is rarely visited except for the sacrificial activities during festivals.And on the ground where the stone slab was located, there was a stone statue standing there.The stone statue is an ancient military general, wearing armor and holding a waist knife, very majestic.
