Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: The Invasion of Ancient Ghosts

Bai Su packed up the pieces, I waited seven or eight days for Doctor Fei Li to visit before I finally got him, and such a result was really unexpected.But these few days, because he has been focusing on Fei Li, Qi Bai didn't think much about it. Seeing that he looked so happy, he shouted "happy event" as soon as he came in. I don't know what tricks he has?I patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I made you scolded for no reason." Qi Bai is in a good mood, so he has a big heart. He shrugged: "It's okay, I just treat him as a fart. Congratulations, Wesley, he agreed. I begged him for three full days before he agreed."

I was taken aback: "Is there anything I asked someone to agree to?" Qi Bai was very annoyed: "Are you making people lose their temper? That..." When he said this, he described his expression as extremely secretive, and his voice was very low: "That Mr. Ghost... I Spend a few more days with him, and he promises you to see him." I said "Oh", before I could say anything, Qi Bai said again: "However, it's a pity." I remembered the situation when he came last time. When he left, he almost quarreled with me. At this moment, I couldn't help but say: "You can talk in one breath, don't talk paragraph by paragraph, okay?"

Qi Bai glanced at Bai Su: "It's a pity, no matter what I say, he won't let Madam go too, saying that if one more person is allowed to see him, that's already the limit that can be tolerated." I was angry and funny at the same time: "This Mr. Ghost, you can say that he is ghostly, to the extreme." Qi Bai stamped his feet: "When you see him, don't say that, everyone has their own difficulties, he—" I interrupted him: "You're wrong, what 'everyone' is, each ghost has its own difficulties. Why does he believe so much, thinking that I will definitely meet him, huh?"

Qi Bai pointed at me as if he had heard the strangest words, and shouted: "Wesley, if you have a chance to meet a solid ghost, will you go?" He mentioned the "sturdy ghost" again, and I couldn't refuse because of my curiosity, so I said, "Of course I won't go, then... where is the ancient tomb?" Qi Bai rubbed his hands, he looked embarrassed, he hesitated to speak, as if he wanted me to understand his difficulties.I could see what he was thinking, and sneered, "Don't tell me you can't." Qi Bai let out a long sigh, stretched his hands, helpless: "That's the condition for him to see you."

I also saw that he still had a lot to say, and I urged him: "If you have anything else to say, let's talk together!" Qi Bai sighed again, with an extremely embarrassed expression on his face, and he stomped his feet heavily: "He is also really...too unhuman...well, so unkind to ghosts, that he even asks you to cover your eyes as soon as you leave the house. , and the personality is guaranteed, and you must never peek at where you are." I laughed loudly a few times: "How long will that take?" Qi Bai didn't answer yet, Bai Su was beside him, also smiled, and hurriedly said: "It will take four days."

Qi Bai was surprised: "How does Mrs. Sister-in-law know?" Bai Su smiled: "You left last time, and it took exactly eight days to come back today, so the one-way trip is naturally four days." I cried out suddenly. "You want me to be blind for four days—" Bai Su waved his hand and interrupted my words: "It's not four days, it's eight days. On the way back, you can't see anything. Otherwise, you can still know where the ancient tomb is." I was very angry and laughed again: "You want me to be blind for eight days, just to meet a solid ghost?"

Qi Bai couldn't see that I was angry at all, and went on to say: "Yeah, it's really worth it. When I saw this ghost, I paid a higher price. You don't remember when I came last time, that A distraught situation." I said "pooh": "It's worth it? You put an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that if you are blind for eight days, you can go to hell and see how many people can apply. Please hurry up, my lord. This is a house for people to live in, isn't it?" The ancient tomb where ghosts live is not very suitable for you." Qi Bai blushed because of my rush, and couldn't help blinking. After a while, he said, "What's the matter if you can't see for eight days? Once you enter the ancient tomb, you can not only see ghosts, but also ghosts." To that extremely strange ancient tomb."

He added: "In the ancient tomb, of course you don't have to be blind anymore." I waved my hand: "Thank you, I will not accept this condition." Qi Bai took a deep breath, and asked cautiously: "Did that person make you feel bad just now?" I said: "No" Qi Bai shook his head: "I really can't believe it, I really can't believe it. Wesley, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You will never have the chance to meet a solid ghost again. Listen to him The history of hundreds of years ago is hidden."

His words are indeed extremely attractive, but the ghost's conditions are really unacceptable-it's not that there is any special difficulty in being a blind man for eight days, but that accepting such conditions will make people feel Personally humiliated. I calmed myself down: "Can you make a compromise? I promise that I will never mention it to anyone except Bai Su, so his secret will not be revealed. In fact, if he died for five hundred years, he really has no power to come back now." could hurt him." Qi Bai sighed: "You understand this truth, I understand it, but he doesn't understand it. I know you are not willing to accept this condition, and I told him about it, but he persisted."

I didn't want to talk to him any more, I half turned around impatiently, just in time to meet Bai Su's eyes, in Bai Su's eyes, there was a hint of naughty expression, which made my heart move, and I knew immediately that Bai Su was there What was the idea, I said: "Qi Bai, that ghost will not leave the ancient tomb, will he?" Qi Bai was at a loss: "Probably so!" I smiled: "That's easy to handle. You are the one who accompanied me, and you are the one who accompanied me back. You said I was blindfolded all the time, isn't that all right?" Qi Bai's face was extremely ugly: "I dare to deceive people, but I dare not deceive ghosts."

I waved my hands vigorously: "Then there is no need to talk about it, it seems that you are the only one in the world who can live with ghosts." Qi Bai wandered around for a while, sat down, his body was shaking constantly, very anxious, and he was thinking very hard, probably thinking of what words he could use to persuade me to agree to the ghost's conditions. Bai Su leisurely induced him to talk: "Your words, after you left last time, we discussed it and felt very unclear. That ghost... is with you, solidly?" Qi Bai nodded: "If he hadn't said it himself - half of it was what I expected - his identity, I would not have regarded him as a ghost at all, but as a human being, I even pinched his arm, like It’s like pinching my arm. All the legends and records about ghosts have never mentioned that ghosts can behave like this, that kind of strange phenomenon, Wesley, if you don’t experience it, what kind of Wesley are you?” I frowned. "Is he eating? Breathing?" Qi Bai nodded, and I asked again: "Did he drink water? Sleep? Defecate?" Qi Bai nodded straight. Bai Su and I said in unison: "Then he is not a ghost, he is a human at all." Qi Bai smiled wryly: "But he is really a ghost, and the scene is extremely strange. I can't tell you some of the details. Once you go, you will know immediately." I thought about it again: "It's not too weird. The situation, according to what you said, is a person possessed by a ghost." Qi Bai was shocked suddenly, he had obviously never thought of this, he opened his mouth wide and panted.Then, he made some meaningless gestures, presumably recalling the details of his relationship with the ghost. After a while, he took another long breath: "You didn't think...it's very possible, because he is really a person, but...the upper body of a ghost...an ancient ghost entered his mind , making him think that he is that ancient man?" I was very happy: "You understand? This situation is not very special. Well, recently I saw a person who thought he was Li Zicheng. Seeing the beautiful scenery on a good day, he thought they were red ladies. He came to him to report to kill his husband." revenge." Qi Bai was silent, although after I said this, I couldn't help but feel a sudden move in my heart, and I looked at Bai Su: "We always thought that the man who thought he was Li Zi was a lunatic...but it's also possible...that's another case.' Ghost upper body', Li Zicheng's ghost. Controlled the man's mind." Bai Su's expression is very strange, it's because she thought of my hypothesis, it's not impossible. And my hypothesis, if true, would be extremely bizarre.I don’t know how many people have been born and died in ancient and modern times, and all dead people naturally have souls, and they exist in some way. What will happen if such souls invade the human body in large numbers? The funny idea is that when two strangers meet, they will suddenly fight for life and death, because one is occupied by Li Zicheng's soul, and the other is occupied by Chongzhen's soul. A more frightening idea is: "If Hitler's soul suddenly took possession of a human body, would it trigger another massacre?" Since human beings are in a state of extreme ignorance of the coming, going, and existence of souls, this kind of intrusion is almost impossible to prevent. There are sporadic and incomplete records of souls intruding into the human body in ancient and modern China and abroad, but none of them seem to be as serious as the two cases in front of us.Dr. Fei Li mentioned "an attack conspiracy" in that gathering, and later he said that it was an attack by a virus. There are still traces of an attack by a virus. How can humans defend against an invisible attack by the soul? The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my thoughts became, and I couldn't find any clues. Bai Su stepped forward and said, "I think it has something to do with Dr. Fei Li. His behavior is too weird." We said, "That Li Zicheng may have something to do with Fei Li, but the one Qi Bai met, how could it be related to Fei Li?" Bai Su shook his head slowly: "I don't know, because Mr. Qi Bai didn't provide us with any further information." Qi Bai defended again: "It's not that I refuse to say it, but I have made an oath—" I suddenly shouted: "You are afraid of ghosts and gods. Since he is only human now, he won't have any special ability to harm you." Qi Bai looked bitter: "If that ancient soul suddenly attacks me, I don't want to become...it's him." I sneered: "What's wrong with that, you can live in the ancient tomb for the rest of your life, that's exactly what you like the most." Qi Bai shook his head vigorously: "If you are really willing to accept his conditions, that would be a great pity. Alas, the location of the ancient tomb is very secret, and it took me a lot of hard work to find its entrance... If the man hadn't It is the owner of the ancient tomb, so we must not be able to find it." I asked casually, "The owner of such a large ancient tomb must not be an ordinary person?" Qi Bai didn't take precautions, and said casually: "Yes, he is──" But when he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and pointed at me, with an air of "wanting to get more information out of my mouth". My mind turned, and based on known information, I can be sure that the owner of the ancient tomb is not an ordinary person, and the ghost Qi Bai mentioned should be the dead person buried in the ancient tomb. He lived in it before, and the ancient tomb was completely built like an extremely luxurious living room. The most likely one that can have such a grandeur is the emperor's home. There is also information that the distance to the ancient tomb is a four-day journey - this is rather vague, because it is not known what means of transportation Qi Bai used during these four days, the plane and walking are naturally very different. To my advantage, when referring to that ghost, he never once mentioned that the ghost was a Western ghost or an Eastern ghost. With these materials, my thoughts turned, and I smiled lightly: "It's nothing special, it's just the face of an emperor." I made such a conclusion, if I was wrong, Qi Bai would definitely laugh out loud, and I have nothing to lose. But Qi Bai was shocked suddenly, at that moment, I knew that I had predicted it. The ancient tomb he discovered was that of an emperor. The ghost who had been with him was once an emperor. Is there any emperor in history who was escaping pursuit and searching, and even after hundreds of years, he was still so scared psychologically? When I thought of this, Bai Su and Bai Su uttered a low cry at the same time. We approached each other and reached out to hold each other's hands. We both felt that each other's hands were as cold as ice. In an instant, we thought the same way and came up with the same result. At this time, what we are thinking is, which emperor in history was constantly searched for his whereabouts after he fled?In China's 5,000-year history, there are not many such emperors, and the reason why Bai Su and I thought of that one at the same time was because not long ago (half an hour ago) someone was asking about his whereabouts, and because of the laborious The doctor's strange question about the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen led to such an unpleasant situation later. Both Bai Su and I thought of this emperor. His name is Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.The Great Ancestor of the Ming Dynasty passed on the throne to him. Firstly, he was not suitable for being an emperor, and secondly, there were many people who coveted the throne. Instead of trying to win over his uncles, he kept forcing them. In the name of the emperor, he raised troops and rebelled. On the day when the city of Nanjing was destroyed, Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts were unknown, which became a historical mystery. By the way, when Qi Bai came here last time, he also mentioned the sentence of historical mystery again and again, it can never be wrong. However, Bai Su and I didn't call out his name immediately, for a moment, we just felt extremely strange - otherwise, our hands would not have become cold. What we thought of was: Why did Fei Li happen to be interested in the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen? In his research institute, there is a "Li Zicheng"—this person can be said to be a lunatic, or he can be said to have been invaded by Li Zicheng's soul. The truth is unknown. And he was very concerned about the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, so in an ancient tomb somewhere, Qi Bai met another person who thought he was Emperor Jianwen. Is that person also attacked by the ghost of the old man? If yes, are the two attacks of ancient ghosts related?To be clear, does it have something to do with Dr. Fei Li—that is his research topic? Thinking of this, not only the palms are cold, but also the whole body is cold, and the expression on his face is naturally extremely weird. Qi Bai has been staring at Bai Su and me, his expression is cloudy and uncertain. At this time, he naturally knows that when he hears the word "emperor", he is suddenly surprised. remedy. He giggled dryly: "No matter what you think, you must be wrong, the emperor? Where did the emperor come from! Haha, that ancient tomb does not belong to ordinary people, but it has nothing to do with the emperor." Bai Su and I looked at him with very sympathetic eyes, but we didn't speak to him, we just talked to each other on our own, but we spoke quite loudly so that Qi Bai could hear him clearly. I said: "I still can't figure it out. I think back then, on the day when the city was destroyed, he fled in a hurry. He should have been fleeing south, not north. Well, even if he hid it properly later, how could he still have thoughts and financial resources?" , come to manage the tomb on a large scale? At that time, his environment was almost not far from a place where there is no burial." What I'm talking about is naturally Emperor Jianwen.When Qi Bai heard this, the expression on his face was as if he had a mouth full of live tadpoles. Bai Su continued: "That's right, unless his grandfather had the foresight to know that he has too many powerful enemies, and if one is not good, the emperor would not be able to do it. Therefore, he left a secret escape tunnel in the dark, and at the same time, In the deep mountains and wilds, a house was secretly built for him to live in after escaping." Qi Bai's face looked like a tadpole with his mouth full at this moment, all of which had grown four legs. I laughed "haha" and said, "It's really interesting. If this is the case, some people will pretend to be an expert, and they can't even tell the secret residence from the tomb. They entered an ancient house and thought they entered an ancient tomb." Bai Su smiled happily: "That's about the same, anyway, it's a building." Qi Bai's expression at this moment was like that a mouthful of tadpoles had turned into a lively frog. I said again: "It's no wonder that Mr. Ghost's psychology is so abnormal. Indeed, the big search operation back then was similar to the net of heaven and earth." Bai Su stretched and flexed his fingers, counting, and I nodded: "That's right, there are as many as seven times in large-scale sea trips alone." Qi Bai opened his mouth wide and wheezed (those frogs had probably spit them out), he staggered a few steps as if he was drunk, and collapsed on a sofa, turning his eyes to look at us, I smiled and said , poured him a glass of wine, he took it with trembling hands, and drank it all in one gulp. I said to Bai Su again: "Our friend may have epilepsy, why does his body tremble when he is stimulated?" Bai Su sighed: "Don't tease him anymore, tell him that we have already thought about the identity of that ghost." The conversation between me and Bai Su has reached this stage, Qi Bai naturally knows that we already know the identity of the ghost.He still rolled his eyes, and we sounded like we were dreaming: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible for you... It is absolutely impossible to guess who he is." I bent down and looked directly at him: "Face the reality, Qi Bai, how is that Mr. Zhu Yunwen?" Qi Bai was completely defeated, he opened his mouth wide, exhaled more air than inhaled, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and calmed down a lot: "You guys guessed it yourself, I didn't say it, of course I won't By that oath." I comforted him with Bai Su: "No." He still looked extremely puzzled: "It's really impossible, there are so many people in history, how could you think of him?" Bai Su said: "Because──" I snatched it up: "We discussed this person precisely because of one incident, so we had an impression, and based on a few clues, combined, and speculated, we came to this conclusion. Qi Bai, the one who claimed to be Emperor Jianwen Man, how you met him, you can tell now, maybe there are some very serious and weird things in it." Qi Bai drank another big gulp of wine, hung his hands, and blinked again: "But you still don't know the ancient tomb... where is the ancient house?" Bai Su and I said in unison: "Don't be naive, it's a hundred thousand mountains, it won't be too deep to enter the mountain, right?" Qi Bai looked convinced, and sighed: "It's quite deep, and it takes two days to walk the mountain road." Why did Bai Su and I expect to be in Shiwan Dashan?It is also very simple. The four-day journey and the record that Emperor Jianwen appeared near the Shifang Mountain all lead us to draw conclusions. Qi Bai stood up, murmured something (probably a spell he used when he was on an adventure), sat down again, and said: "Not long ago, I got a batch of materials──" The information was found in the interlayer of the back of a rosewood Taishi chair. That red sandalwood grand master's chair undoubtedly belonged to the Ming Dynasty court. A tenon on the back of the grand master's chair is a little loose and needs repairing. At that time, the Taishi chair was in a very famous antique shop in London, with a price tag of 30,000 pounds. It had been placed there for six or seven years, but no one cared about it, so that the owner of the shop could not remember how it came. Foreign carpenters don't understand the "mortise and tenon". A clerk of an antique shop went to an antique shop in Chinatown to find someone to repair it. The owner of the antique shop in Chinatown went to see it. He was very happy and bought it for ten thousand pounds. Move back and fix it yourself. After removing the back of the chair.It was found that there were four or five pieces of paper in the middle of the two rosewood backs. Those papers were probably not hidden intentionally. Most of them were used as cushions in order to make the two pieces of wood more compact when making chairs. (The reason why I say so in detail is because many things come from coincidence.) (Coincidentally, Qi Bai happened to be there when those papers were rediscovered.) Qi Bai is a tomb robber, I don't know how many ancient relics have been excavated by his hands, and then leaked out. If the owner of the antique shop doesn't even know him, that's very good and limited.And all the antique shop owners who knew him respected him so much that they almost didn't treat him like a god. With his hands behind his back, he was looking at the old teacher's chair. When he saw the stack of papers, he took a look and found a surprised expression.The owner of the antique shop was also very clever, and immediately asked, "Good stuff?" Qi Bai shook his head: "I don't know, it seems to be a daily note used by the eunuchs in the palace to record their actions. Here it is written: 'The Shang ordered more than a thousand craftsmen in each town to wait for orders'. Maybe there is some big project in the palace, um , the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, it happened in the time of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be regarded as an ancient relic──” Naturally, Qi Bai would not put such ancient relics in his eyes, and after he peeled off one, he said "Hey": "It's really strange, 'There are more than a thousand workers or far away from the south, and those who don't follow will be killed immediately. , the cry reaches deep into the palace.'” When Qi Bai said this, he thought for a while. He murmured, "What are you sending so many craftsmen to in the barren land in the south?" The antique store owner kept blinking and looking at him.
