"I'm confused too." Lu Zeyi was also puzzled. He looked ahead and asked Bai Xi, "Should we walk ahead, maybe we can see the exit."
Bai Xi shook his head, "With your ankle twisted like this, it will definitely be more serious when you walk. Besides, I don't think the exit is in front because you slid down. I didn't. I just walked in and then went down the stairs. Look.
It’s your turn.”
"What do you mean, let us wait inside, waiting for the stairs?" Lu Zeyi asked.
Bai Xi nodded, "That should be the safest. I think the exit is upstairs."
"Okay, let's go back first." Lu Zeyi limped back.
Bai Xi felt a little pitiful when he saw him like this.
Moreover, she had received a lot of favors from him, and Lu Zeyi wanted to accompany her here.
She didn't care about anything and felt a little sorry.
She helped Lu Zeyi.
Lu Zeyi looked at her and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you, we are friends." Bai Xi helped him to his original place.
She glanced at the bottles and jars on the right, feeling frightened, and asked, "You've been here for so long, haven't you seen anything come out of the jars?"
Lu Zeyi said: "No, I opened one of the wine cans, and there was real wine inside."
"What on earth is this place and why is it so weird?" Bai Xi asked.
"There are five relatively large families in Haitang Village, but only this house is different. According to legend, Haitang Village was originally a place where a royal family fled, and they lived here incognito." Lu Zeyi said.
Bai Xi heard this story from Ji Chenling.
She thought it was Ji Chenling who deceived her.
"Why is this house different from the others?" Bai Xi asked.
In order to save power, Lu Zeyi turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone and said: "After these royal families came here, they were worried that the villagers here would expose their whereabouts, so they killed the original residents here and lived with their identities.
.”
"What does that have to do with this haunted house? This haunted house couldn't have been built before they came. In other words, it couldn't be the villagers who were massacred in this room." Bai Xi said.
"But it was the place where the villagers were massacred. Later people built this house at this location to worship, suppress and publicly try criminals. Did you know that for a period of time, this place was completely closed?" Lu Zeyi
asked.
"I heard Ji Chenling say that this place was not surrounded by mountains before. The Whispering River passed through here. Whether it was land transportation or river transportation, it was still very smooth. There were people growing medicinal materials and doing business in this village. It was still very developed and had temples.
Shops and wealthy families were surrounded here due to an accident due to tectonic movement, and then a plague broke out and the whole place was wiped out."
plague?
Speaking of this, Bai Xi thought of viruses.
I wonder if the virus I was infected with last time may be related to the plague.
What is certain is that the virus cannot be grown elsewhere, so the mastermind behind the scenes still wants to come to Haitang Village.
"You are talking about the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, but the royal family came earlier. Previous researchers said it may have been before the Ming Dynasty. Their punishment system was very strict and cruel. One of them was corpse
hall."
"Corpse Hall?" Bai Xi felt horrified and rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.
"To put it simply, all the skin is peeled off and the body is dropped on the beam."
Bai Xi's pupils shrank in shock, thinking of those dummies, "When I came in, I saw a hall with many inflated dolls hanging in it. Those dolls didn't look like they were made very early.
Like modern.”
"Someone may be playing a prank, but the hall you see should be the corpse hall back then."
"Stop talking." Bai Xi felt the chill getting even worse, shuddered, and confirmed: "I don't want to hear it anymore. I'd better find a way out quickly."
"I have something important that I haven't said yet." Lu Zeyi said helplessly. Seeing Bai Xi locking him defensively, he tried to say as simply as possible: "What is the purpose of the authorities designing so many mechanisms in a place like this?"
"What he did for, I don't care, nor am I interested." Bai Xi walked to the door and found that the road was gone and turned into a wall again.
She knocked on the door and asked: "Is there anyone outside? If it's a prank, please stop it immediately. I don't like it very much. This is intimidation and imprisonment. It's over."
Lu Zeyi limped to Bai Xi's side and continued: "I think that using such a scary place is to prevent others from coming, and to design so many mechanisms, or to hide something, such as treasures, there are rumors
Say, there is a treasure here."
Bai Xi looked at Lu Zeyi, "Treasures found in places like this must be handed over to the state. Isn't it about the royal family? That should have historical research value."
A flash of light flashed in Bai Xi's mind, "If a treasure or something is found here, will the development be stopped? At least, it won't be handed over to individuals for development, right?"
"This is not necessarily true, but at least it will delay development. What's wrong?"
"Delay." Bai Xi was disappointed.
"Dong dong dong, Bai Xi, are you there?"
Bai Xi heard Ji Chenling's voice coming through a wall.
He wandered blindly and went behind her wall again.
"Ji Chenling." Bai Xi shouted.
"Bai Xi." Ji Chenling shouted again.
"Ji Chenling." Bai Xi also shouted.
"Bai Xi."
Bai Xi frowned. Couldn't Ji Chenling hear her voice?
"Hey, Ji Chenling. Can you hear me?" Bai Xi raised the decibel level.
All he could hear was that he wanted to call her name, "Don't be afraid, I've already guessed the reason, and I'll be able to rescue you in a moment."
Bai Xi ignited hope, "How to get out?"
"In a moment, when you see the stairs, come up. I will wait for you on the stairs." Ji Chenling said.
"When can I see the stairs? I'm stuck in the room now." Bai Xi said.
"If my guess is right, it will take about a minute." Ji Chenling said.
As soon as Ji Chenling finished speaking, Bai Xi saw the wall begin to move.
Sure enough, a minute later, she saw Ji Chenling standing on the stairs and hurriedly came out of the room.
But then I thought, Lu Zeyi sprained his ankle. If he didn't come out in time this time, he wouldn't know when he would have to wait until the stairs.
There was no way she should have left Lu Zeyi behind. She turned around, supported Lu Zeyi, and came out.
Ji Chenling frowned and looked at Bai Xi, "Were you together just now?"
"He sprained his foot and it's not convenient to go up the stairs." Bai Xi asked for help.
Ji Chenling said coldly: "It's none of my business."
Bai Xi understood and really didn't care about his affairs.
She helped Lu Zeyi go up the stairs.
Ji Chenling glanced at her hand, annoyance flashed in his eyes, stopped in front of Lu Zeyi, and said in a deep voice: "I will carry you up."
