Chapter 1837 The Still Village
Seeing that I slowly opened the information, Xu Xuan also came over.
Of course, I didn't mean to avoid him, but the information on the second case I opened was obviously much thinner than the first information bag.
After opening it, there is an envelope inside.
Xu Xuan smiled beside him and said, "Who is playing with you as a doll!"
I smiled "hehe" and continued to open the envelope.
The envelope contained a very old photo, which was yellowed and had some brown spots on the surface.
The photo shows an old room with two vertical cabinets on both sides. The handles of the vertical cabinets are all ancient iron rings, and they are decorated with some patterns.
The cabinet is very old-fashioned, unlike the cabinet that is more modern, which will have a mirror installed.
In the center of the photo is a white-haired old lady, who is half leaning against a Grand Master's chair, wearing a black cotton coat, which looks nine percent like a shroud.
The old lady was combed in her hair bun, her eyes were very dull, and her hands were slightly hung on her legs.
Behind the old lady was a huge screen, with a picture of a lady on the screen, but there was a faint black shadow behind the picture of a lady. Strangely, the black shadow seemed to have three hands, two hands on the screen, and one hand was hanging on the hip.
No, the third hand is more like a tail.
The thing behind the screen is suspicious.
This old photo only has this content, and the whole photo reveals an indescribable weirdness.
First of all, the layout of the room is a screen in the middle of two vertical cabinets. I have never heard of this kind of decoration. This is the first weird point.
The second one is the old lady's outfit and her expression. She gives people a confusion between life and death, making people feel that she is a living person, but she is also like a dead person, a dead person, and also like a living person.
The third point is also the most obvious part of the photo, the black shadow with a long tail behind the screen.
However, because the black shadow is too obvious, it seems less strange than the details hidden in the dark in the first two points.
I looked through the back of the old photo, which read an address: Taihang Mountain, Baimagou.
And there is also a signature below the address - the witch.
In addition to this photo, there are a few simple words on the back of the photo, and there is no other information in the second case.
Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Come on, the information about your second case is not as good as the first one."
I also laughed and said, "With that being said, the second case will not be encountered by people from the original world. Do you want to follow me to North China to take a look?"
Xu Xuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in such a small case. You can go and do it yourself. I have to go back to recuperate and add some talismans by the way. If someone from the Original World comes one day, we can have a response."
I said "Hmm" and said, "I have to say, Lao Xu, your talismans can always play a key role at critical moments."
Xu Xuan gave me a blank look and said, "Are you turning the corner and saying that I don't work normally?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have that intention."
After chatting with Xu Xuan for a while, we two came out of the Tenth Ancestor tomb as the same way. After we arrived on the ground, I sent Lin Zhineng a WeChat message telling him that the case of the Tenth Ancestor tomb was over and their people would come to finish it.
Lin Zhineng immediately replied: "I will notify the leader immediately."
Then Lin Zhineng sent two more messages, one was thanking me, and the other was asking me if I was injured.
I replied to Lin Zhineng: "Everything is OK."
After leaving the tomb of the Tenth Ancestors, Xu Xuan and I separated.
Zhou Zhixuan and I went back to North China, and he returned to his own village.
I did not return to the small county town directly, but found a place called Baimagou in the deep mountains in the middle of the Taihang Mountains according to the address in the photo.
Baimagou is a deserted village, sandwiched between two mountains, it is very remote and has no roads. The Baimagou building looks like it was from seventy or eighty years ago. Although the entire village is abandoned, no weeds have grown in the streets and those abandoned houses and yards in the village.
Although the village has no vitality, it seems that someone is taking care of it.
Even the stone slabs on the street were cleaned spotlessly, everything looked a bit unreal, just like an old photo.
When we fell at the entrance of the village, Zhou Zhixuan said, "Boss, this village is very strange. I have two emperor stars, but I can't even detect the aura of about ten meters in the village."
I said slowly: "It's not your fault, because this village is not what this world should exist, but is created by man. It is a static world. In this world, everything is static, including time."
Zhou Zhixuan said "ah" and said, "Let time stop?"
I nodded and said, "That's right, but this time is still, only effective for things in the village. Although we have entered this still space and time, the time that belongs to us will not stop, and we are still in the long river of time."
Zhou Zhixuan was stunned for a while and said, "I don't understand a little."
I said: "This space overlaps with our Pangu world, but time does not overlap. We enter this overlapping space and bring in time that we didn't have. However, the time rules are like a layer of film, just lingering on us. The time rules are useful to us, but they are useless to everything in the village!"
Zhou Zhixuan nodded, still a little confused.
I continued: "It is not easy to create this village. This village is not big. It seems that there are only more than 30 households. We search from house to house and find out the room where the information is taken."
Zhou Zhixuan nodded.
At this time, Zhuyao and Ayi also crawled out of my backpack one after another. Zhuyao fell on my shoulders, and Ayi turned into a human form and followed Zhou Zhixuan and me.
I don’t have to worry, they were seen by ordinary people. After all, this is a deserted village, and it is a space created. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary monks can’t get in.
Walking along the spotless street, Zhuyao slowly said: "This feeling is like walking in an old photo or a still scroll, which is too weird."
I nodded and said, "That's true."
We walked to the first stone house at the entrance of the village. It was a pitch-black wooden door with a statue of the door god on it. The door was not locked. When we opened the door, it was a corridor more than two meters long. There was a stove stove in the corridor, and a small stool was placed next to the stove.
Crossing the aisle, there is a yard covered with irregular stone slabs, with a huge sycamore tree in the northwest corner of the yard.
There are also several marks similar to cat's paws on the sycamore tree.
In the southwest corner of the yard, there is a ladder with a rope made of cloth strips tied to it, and a wooden board is tied under the rope, making a simple swing.
There are three rooms in the entire yard, and the doors of all rooms are open.
We looked at each room and found that one of the rooms was fully furnished, with beds, bedding, and kitchenware, as if the person had just left.
When I entered that room, I suddenly felt like I was a thief...
In addition to this seemingly living room, there is another storage room with farm tools and other things. The last one is smaller, with a granary inside, and there is also an old-fashioned iron rat clip with blood-stained on it.
Everything here is so lively.
The person who created all this should be the one who lived seventy or eighty years ago.
There is also the old lady in the photo. What does she have to do with this village?
Why is it just the photo of the old lady? Who took it for the old lady?
A series of questions surged into my mind.
Although I have produced similar cases with only scenes and no plots, like today, there is no plot at all. This is the first time I have done this.
After checking the whole yard for a while, Zhou Zhixuan and Ayi jumped to the roof and looked at it. There was some corn drying on the roof. The time of this space should be the time point in early winter after autumn.
At this time, Zhu Yao, who was sitting on my shoulder, suddenly pointed to a far away from my right and said: "First year of junior high school, look over there..."
