Lin Shao didn't care about whether it was difficult or not,
His focus was on..,
Had that lushu been missing for so long?
If that was the case..,
The possibility of accidentally passing through the boundary wall and falling into the human world was very high. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to find it after searching here for so long.
Moreover..,
Lin Shao listened to this,
He discovered another coincidence.
He remembered that the old ancestral hall had been built for about two hundred years,
There was a tablet in front of the ancestral hall,
The date of the original construction was written on it,
Lin Shao still remembered the number on it,
He calculated,
It had been two hundred and twenty-one years.
It really overlapped everywhere,
Just the word "coincidence" could no longer explain it.
This time, the mountain and sea boundary line was unclear. Perhaps he had to do it in the human world.
Lin Shao rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. This time, he did not rashly run to the Lushu's territory to look for them. Firstly, there was no suitable translator. Secondly, the point of this mission was not them, but the missing Lushu.
He went home and checked the local news and local forums for a long time on his phone,
He really didn't know if he didn't check, but he was shocked. Not only were they worried about the demolition, but there were also all kinds of rumors outside,
Lin Shao flipped through a page,
It was as if he was reading an urban ghost story.
The demolition of the old city area was already quite big,
So many things had happened in a row,
Not only were the people of Huai Li City paying attention to this matter, but the outside world was also saying that the two words that appeared the most frequently were haunted. There were all kinds of messy guesses, and they were even describing it vividly. Lin Shao's hair stood on end when he saw this, and he was scared in broad daylight.
Bai Ze looked at his expression, patted his back with one hand, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"What can I do?"
Lin Shao sighed. "Naturally, I have to find out what's going on with the suspected Lushu statue in the old ancestral hall."
Because something had happened first, half of the old ancestral hall had been demolished, and it was still barely holding on to the appearance of a house.
However, that place had been sealed off. It wouldn't be easy for Lin Shao to get in.
Previously, Lin Shao had spent some time to complete the three derivative quests. In total, he had earned 8 points.
It was just enough to exchange for the system's "La la la, you can't see me".
Eight points equaled 8,000 RMB. Lin Shao, who had always been stingy, was reluctant to exchange for such an item. Moreover, when he saw this item, he felt that he would definitely not exchange for it, at least not in a short period of time. After all, he would not do anything sneaky.
However, he was quickly slapped in the face by this trashy system. If he wanted to sneak into the construction site, this thing was really useful.
But it just so happened that it only cost 8 points. What a coincidence …
No matter how Lin Shao looked at it, he felt that the system was deliberately digging a hole for him, insisting on taking away his only remaining points. He thought about it and decided not to exchange it for now. Anyway, the item would not run away. He would go to the field to understand the situation first.
For the current Lin Shao, the points were very useful and important. He did not dare to use them casually.
Therefore, Lin Shao called Chen Yuankai and asked him to come out to talk about this matter. In fact, he wanted to know more about this matter.
Naturally, Chen Yuankai was also very anxious about this matter. After returning from a business trip, he had a period of vacation. When he heard Lin Shao's words, he immediately agreed.
They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. Lin Shao ordered a cup of hot taro milk tea for himself and a cup of Americano for Chen Yuankai. After a while, Chen Yuankai arrived. As soon as he came in, he complained to Lin Shao.
"Is there no one who cares about these feudal superstitions now?"
He seemed to be thirsty. He gulped down the cup of Americano in one gulp. He turned his head and ordered another cup of mocha. Then he said to Lin Shao, "I don't care about others, but my father is usually not a reasonable person, right?
Why is he like this this time? "
"He is too worried. After all, he has lived here for so long." Lin Shao held the milk tea and took a sip. He advised him, "Don't be angry with Uncle Chen."
Chen Yuankai sighed and said, "How would I dare?
Of course, I know he is worried. But if this matter is not solved, it is useless to say anything more. "
That was the truth. For Lin Shao, no matter which side he stood on, he could not ignore this matter.
Chen Yuankai, who was sitting opposite him, did not know what decision Lin Shao had made. Although he knew that Lin Shao's legs had been cured, in Chen Yuankai's eyes, Lin Shao was still a pitiful friend who needed his help.
Speaking of which, Lin Shao was also alone. All his assets were in that demolished house. The more Chen Yuankai thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He patted Lin Shao's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I know some friends. No matter what, this matter will be solved.
After all, it is the Kunlun Property's project. If you want to talk about urgency, they are more anxious than we are. "
"Hmm?"
At the mention of Kunlun Property, Lin Shao thought of Zheng Siyue. He had seen him once at the restaurant and several times on TV. Although Lin Shao had lost his business card, he was now more familiar with him. "That person in charge of Kunlun Property who came here, didn't we meet before?
The one called Zheng Siyue, we even met at Wangjiang Restaurant. "
Chen Yuankai said, "Eldest Young Master Zheng, I know. He is not doing well now.
This project was originally unremarkable among many Kunlun Property's projects. It was originally for him to practice. In the end, so many things happened and the project was strictly ordered to be shut down. Kunlun Property did not dare to take it lightly. A new person in charge came in a few days ago. Now, Zheng Siyue can't make all the decisions.
However, this new person in charge is even more unreliable than Zheng Siyue. "
"What do you mean?"
Chen Yuankai slightly lowered his voice and said, "It is said that because of the haunting, they actually invited a Taoist priest.
Of course, they did not dare to openly invite him.
However, the Taoist priest that was invited did come. He said that he was going to the construction site to take a look. "
"You saw him?"
"I saw him from afar." Chen Yuankai curled his lips. "He was very young. He wore a Tang suit and looked somewhat sage-like.
However, this is such a big matter. How can we let these swindlers mess around? "
Lin Shao listened silently and did not comment.
He used to not believe in these things, but recently, too many unscientific things had happened. Bai Ze's words last night were also ambiguous.
Some things, even if you did not dare to believe, you might have to believe.
After the gathering with Chen Yuankai, Lin Shao went to look for his previous neighbors with gifts.
Coincidentally, there was an older couple who also rented in Lin Shao's neighborhood. It was not far from his rented apartment.
Lin Shao chatted with them for a while. He indirectly mentioned the origin of the offerings in the old ancestral hall. However, the old ancestral hall with more than 200 years of history was older than anyone else. They could not clearly explain the origin of the offerings. They only said that the offerings were very efficacious and that the heavens had descended to bless them.
After a round of understanding, Lin Shao still felt that it was not enough.
He planned to secretly go to the old ancestral hall tonight to see the statue of the offerings in his memory. However, going to a haunted place in the middle of the night was a standard feature of the protagonist in a horror movie.
Therefore, Lin Shao, who did not want to court death, went to find Bai Ze, who had always been very reliable.
"Bai Ze, come with me to take a look at the ancestral hall tonight."
Bai Ze glanced at him and said, "In the middle of the night?
Aren't you afraid? "
He had only said a few words last time and he was already so afraid.
"I'm afraid." Lin Shao did not hide his cowardice. "It will be much better if two people go together. Moreover, Bai Ze and I will go together."
Lin Shao could go during the day if he had exchanged the invisibility potion with the system. However, the points were very precious now. Lin Shao's heart swayed a few times. In the end, he firmly chose to go with Bai Ze at night.
As for the system's restrictions on Bai Ze's participation in the mission, Lin Shao found that there was actually a bug in it and that it could be avoided.
After all, it was very dangerous to go to the construction site at night. Bai Ze of course had to protect his safety. It could not be considered as directly interfering in the mission.
"Then go." Bai Ze had always found it difficult to say no to Lin Shao. He touched his head and reminded him, "Remember not to run around at night. You must stay by my side."
Lin Shao nodded. He thought that was for sure. He did not have the courage to run around.
To go to the half-demolished construction site, Lin Shao put on a safety helmet, black clothes, and a small flashlight. As soon as the sky turned dark, he set off.
He was familiar with this place. Although the old town was demolished, the place was sealed off. However, he could enter from the small path.
Because of the work stoppage and the rumors of ghosts, the workers who originally worked here did not want to live here. Therefore, the entire construction site was empty. There was not a single person.
In winter, the sky darkened quickly. It was only seven o 'clock, but the sky was already completely dark. Lin Shao stayed close to Bai Ze, holding his small flashlight. Nothing happened along the way.
When they arrived at the old ancestral hall, the door and walls of the ancestral hall had been removed. The wind blew through the empty space. The beams inside were half removed, and the scaffolding was still inside. Lin Shao raised his flashlight and shone inside. He could vaguely see the statue of a god in the middle.
The statue was very large. It was carved out of a large piece of stone. There was a heavy base made of unknown material below it.
Willow Lane was so small that it could not be moved. It could only be left there.
It was originally agreed that after building a new ancestral hall, they would also build a statue similar to this one inside. However, the neighbors now regretted this decision, saying that it was "offensive" and "disrespectful". However, with such a large statue standing there, even if it was old, it still had a sense of dignity.
"Let's go in." Lin Shao was a little more courageous. After all, this was a place he was familiar with. He had been here many times. "I want to take a closer look at the statue."
The moment Lin Shao stepped into the ancestral hall, a gust of wind blew.
The wind blew through the empty window and through the hole in the wall of the ancestral hall. It made a sound like a woman's crying. It was creepy.
However, Lin Shao had already entered.
Although Bai Ze comforted him that it was just the sound of the wind, he was still afraid. He wanted nothing more than to hide in Bai Ze's arms.
Even under such circumstances, he did not forget what he was there for.
Lin Shao raised his head and looked at the statue. He used the flashlight to illuminate the area and used the camera's night mode to take a picture of the statue.
He did not remember incorrectly. This was the Lushu statue described by the system.
However, other than the statue that was not easy to move, everything else in the ancestral hall had been cleaned up. Lin Shao did not find anything special.
Bai Ze had been silently accompanying Lin Shao. At that moment, his expression changed. He grabbed Lin Shao's hand and whispered to him, "Someone is coming. There are footsteps."
Lin Shao was shocked. He listened carefully, but he did not hear the footsteps Bai Ze said.
However, he believed what Bai Ze said. He hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do?
Should we leave? "
"Since we're already here, why should we leave?
I'm here. Don't be afraid. "Bai Ze pulled him and whispered," You have a reason to come here in the middle of the night. What are the others here for?
Aren't you curious? "
When Lin Shao heard this, he felt that it made sense. He was worried about the lack of information.
