Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Strange Events in the Mansion

I stood in front of the huge mansion for a while, my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and I could see how finely the mansion was built.In such a large house (palace), there is no place that is not an antiquity more than 500 years ago. In terms of value, it is simply incomparable. After a while, I heard Qi Bai's voice coming from inside, he was calling me: "Come in quickly." I stepped into the gate, and let out another burst of admiration. It seems that the records Qi Bai found are not very reliable. The records only say that thousands of skilled craftsmen participated in this project. Judging from the situation in front of us, only I'm afraid it's more than that. "Thousands", how many thousands?Three thousand or five thousand?And judging from the degree of sophistication of each brick, even if eight or nine thousand people work hard for several years, it may be difficult to complete.

All the craftsmen were "unaccounted for", tens of thousands of family members cried and cried, and how many families were broken since then; among them, I don't know how much blood and tears there were, and they came and went, just for one person to take refuge. When I thought of this, I naturally felt angry, Qi Bai was still screaming, and I suddenly shouted: "What's the rush, it's here." My anger is naturally expressed in my voice, Qi Bai is very familiar with me, so of course I can hear it.I saw him in the door of a side hall in front, looking at me with his head, as if he didn't know what happened.

I waved my hand at him: "It's nothing, it's none of your business, I just thought of the tragic fate of those skilled craftsmen, and it's a little unpleasant." Qi Bai smiled wryly: "That is history after all." I muttered: "History has been repeating itself over and over again." As I said, I swung my sword vigorously. I didn't want to cut anything, but I just slashed at a rather thick pillar. If it was an ordinary sword, it would be fine. That sword is really sharp. Ji, with a "swipe", cut into the pillar a few inches. As soon as I retreated, the sword remained in the pillar, and when I exerted more strength, the sword body came out from the pillar.

Qi Bai was also speechless: "What a sword." I imitate the sword in my hand, and I can't put it down.At this time, the "Emperor Jianwen" also came out of the side hall, holding a gray and inconspicuous scabbard in his hand, with a fawning expression: "If you like it, then...be an imperial swordsman. Give." I reached out to take the scabbard and put it back into the scabbard. For a while, I couldn't figure out what material the scabbard was made of. I put the sword on a table and said coldly: "Do you have the right to dispose of it?" ?” "Emperor Jianwen" was startled and angry: "What are you talking about? I am the son of heaven, under the whole world, could it be that the emperor──"

I interrupted him very quickly: "Then why have you been hiding in the cave?" "Emperor Jianwen" looked extremely ugly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the sword in his hand again. It seemed that he wanted to kill me, a rebel, with his own hands, but his mind was not confused. Lessons learned, so I didn't dare to act rashly, just stared at me. At this moment, Qi Bai sighed anxiously, obviously he did not agree with my actions at this time, but I gave him a hard look and motioned him not to interfere, and then, very rudely stretched out my hand on the chest of "Emperor Jianwen". Pushing him hard, he staggered and almost fell, he quickly grabbed onto a pillar, gasped for breath, and couldn't speak.

Although Qi Bai had received serious warnings from me, he couldn't bear to say at this moment: "Wesley, be more polite, he is the emperor." I laughed: "Do you have to be polite to the emperor? Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was taken captive and walked on the red-hot stone. How did Empress Li die after taking the drug that led to the machine? How many emperors died in history? He only has prestige when someone obeys him, otherwise, he is just an ordinary person." Qi Bai wanted to say something else, but I didn't allow him to speak, so I shouted loudly: "It's because of people like you, who tremble first when they hear the word emperor, that there is such a thing as emperor."

Qi Bai couldn't speak for me, and the "Emperor Jianwen" was even more pale. If he is really Emperor Jianwen, even though he was forced out of the capital by the "rebels" and lived in the wilderness, it is guaranteed that he would never have heard such "rebellious" words! I turned around, stretched out my hand to point at him, and took the sword from his hand: "Where is it more comfortable to talk?" "Emperor Jianwen" had trembling lips and could not utter a word.Qi Bai hurriedly said: "Go to the Imperial Book──" He naturally wanted to say "the Royal Study Room", but when he saw that his expression was not good, he immediately changed his words: "Go to the Study Room - it's very suitable there!"

"Emperor Jianwen" also seemed to be in a panic, nodding his head repeatedly. I thought this to myself - no matter what, his personality is a bit similar to that of Emperor Jianwen recorded in history. He was definitely not a capable person. Must flee! Qi Bai has been here before, let him lead the way, "Emperor Jianwen" walks in the middle, I postpone. Originally, "I have something to say to "Emperor Jianwen", it is the same everywhere, but I am also full of curiosity about this ancient monarch, I want to take a good look, and I can walk around, so I can naturally observe it.

The corridor was winding, and after walking for a short time, a beaded curtain was raised, and he had already entered the study.The furnishings in this study room once amazed the well-informed Qi Bai, so naturally I was dazzled by seeing them. "Emperor Jianwen" came to the study room, as if he had regained his confidence, and sat down after the case. I was honest and blunt, jumped up and sat on the "royal case".He rolled his eyes, unable to do anything about me, he just stared at Qi Bai with a very resentful look, which made Qi Bai's expression extremely embarrassed.

I looked at him condescendingly, and I had the upper hand in terms of momentum. I picked up a piece of jade paper and patted it gently in the palm of my hand.It was Yue Youjia's Yiyu, holding it in his hand, the soft and smooth feeling was indescribable, only the best Guan Yu could give people this feeling. I stared at him and paused every word: "You know it yourself, you are a human being, not a ghost." He was startled and angry at first, but when he heard what I said, he was shocked suddenly, and in an instant, his expression became extremely dazed. Originally, just listening to Qi Bai's narration, I already thought that the possibility of "Emperor Jianwen" being a ghost was very small, and the possibility of being a human was high, but I was not completely sure whether he was a human or not.

However, when I actually saw him, I was sure that this was a human being, not a ghost—I had put my hand on his face, and the breath he exhaled was even warm! Obviously a human, not a ghost! But after confirming that he is human, there are more doubts. He considers himself "Emperor Jianwen", which can be said to be a lunatic.But a madman.How could one find such a hidden place—and this place happened to be the refuge of Emperor Jianwen! Therefore, I am more inclined to a hypothesis: the soul of Emperor Jianwen entered his body.In other words, the soul of Emperor Jianwen interfered with the activities of his brain, commonly known as "ghost upper body", this is the case!The "Emperor Jianwen" reacted strangely after hearing my question, which was also within my expectation, because if a person's brain activity is disturbed by some kind of external force, he himself is in a state of complete ignorance among.I have had such an experience, and it is described in this story.Many people whose brain activities have been disturbed by external forces (including Zhang Qiang, the younger brother of the famous Antarctic explorer Zhang Jian) ​​have committed all kinds of terrible behaviors that are completely out of their control. Like this, he thought he was an emperor in history , can already be said to be mild. I repeat one more sentence: "You are a human being, not a ghost 1" He feeds himself. "I... am a human... not a ghost!" I said again: "You are human, so there is absolutely no possibility that you are Emperor Jianwen. You seem to be in your thirties and a modern person. You cannot be the emperor who disappeared more than 580 years ago!" His expression was even more convincing: "I...I..." Suddenly, he called out: "I──" I was just waiting for this opportunity, when he just said the word "zhen", I raised my hand, slapped him across the face, and slapped him hard on the face.That palm.I used quite a lot of force, and I hit his head suddenly to one side. He was sitting on a chair, but the force on his head to the side was so strong that he fell to the ground together with the chair. There was a loud "Gudong". Qi Bai didn't know that I would have such a movement, so he suddenly screamed strangely and danced with his hands and feet. The reason why I did this is because after this story, Dr. Liang Ruoshui and I.And several psychiatrists have discussed in detail, they all slap a person heavily on the face when they are emotionally agitated and frantic, which has a considerable calming effect, because the trigeminal nerve in the face has a certain degree of connection with the function of the brain , hit it, can alter certain brain activity. My thinking is this: whether this person is a lunatic, or his brain activity is affected by some kind of force, I can make him sober by giving me a blow. This is my idea. When he thinks he is the emperor and utters the word "zhen", I hit him, and the timing is just right. But, I don't know if I hit too hard, or the man didn't beat him. After he fell, Qi Bai and I couldn't see his situation clearly for a while, but after a while , I didn't see any sound from him, and I didn't see him standing up. Qi Bai screamed again, and I was also a little frightened. I jumped down from the table and saw that he was still lying on the ground with blood and foam flowing from the corner of his mouth. He was hit by my palm. Gotta pass out! At this time, Qi Bai also came to him, put his hands under his shoulders, helped him up, and put him on a high chair, with one eyelid on his face.It was red and swollen from my slap. Qi Bai was really angry, he scolded me sharply: "I totally agree with what Doctor Fei Li scolded you!" I said coldly: "You don't have to be nervous, he will wake up soon, after waking up, he will be sober, and he will no longer think that he is some kind of emperor!" Qi Bai even shouted hoarsely: "You completely ignore reality! This man is Emperor Jianwen! He knows everything about the past, and he also knows where this secret refuge is!" This is also the most difficult point to explain among my speculations.I said: "Perhaps he discovered this place first, so he thought he belonged to Emperor Jianwen; more likely, please admit the existence of the soul. I also hope that this palm can drive the soul out of his brain!" While I was talking, Qi Bai pressed the man hard and tapped his temples lightly. After a while, the man's closed eyes trembled slightly, and finally opened his eyes. His eyes were scattered and dazed. He looked extremely confused, his lips trembled, and a sound of "ahhh" came from his throat. What was even more frightening was that when Qi Bai helped him to sit up straight, a long stream of tears flowed from the corner of his mouth. Mouth! Anyone who looked at the man at this time could tell that he was a hopeless lunatic! Qi Bai took a deep breath, glanced at me with cold eyes, then sat down with his head in his hands, without saying a word, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction to me. Seeing this kind of emotion, I couldn't help but suspect that the slap just now was a bit heavy, but it's not enough to turn a normal person into a lunatic!I had no choice but to assume that he was a lunatic in the first place, and I slapped him, changing his madness a bit! When I came in front of him, his eyes were straightened, and he stared straight at me. I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of him. He blinked, but he looked numb and unresponsive. I asked him, "Who are you, now you know?" The man didn't react at all, and the flow of the quarrel grew longer and longer, which was disgusting to watch.I asked it several times, but the man didn't respond at all, just occasionally made a strange sound of "Hehe" in his throat, naturally the emperor's prestige was not left at all! And facing such an unresponsive lunatic, I couldn't help but do nothing, Qi Bai sneered: "You are not much worse than a murderer!" Under the current situation, I really can't make any excuses for myself, I took a breath: "No matter what happened to this person, but this is a person, not a ghost, you can always be sure of this! " Qi Bai still spoke coldly: "Using the splint method can also straighten the hunchback!" I don't argue with him: "Get him out and have him checked out by a psychiatrist!" Qi Bai's expression was very excited, I didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Don't think about it, I don't know for sure what happened to this person. However, there is no way he is a man of more than five hundred people. The emperor of years ago will not be turned from an emperor into an idiot because of my palm!" Qi Bai stared at me for a long while before sighing: "You, Wesley, can do nothing but destroy!" It was too much for him to say that, I said angrily: "You grave robber, when you speak, first press your chest to see if your heart is still there!" Qi Bai was actually very serious, he really pressed his hand on his chest, and after a while he said: "Half of it is destruction, and the other half...God knows!" He corrected the sentence just now, naturally he was apologizing to me, and I didn't take it too far, just let it count. He and I worked together to help the man up—the man couldn't even speak, and of course he no longer called himself "Zhen". It seemed necessary to regard him as "Emperor Jianwen" again.He was very obedient, and after being lifted up, he stood motionless, not even turning his eyes. Qi Bai smiled bitterly: "Take him out to see a psychiatrist?" I was annoyed: "You like to be here with him, and serve the country with all your loyalty, there's nothing wrong with that!" Qi Bai said angrily: "What are you talking about, I will naturally act with you!" I looked around the study room, and then at the sword on the table. In this study room alone, there are priceless treasures everywhere, which makes people reluctant to leave! However, if you tell me to live in this ancient house, no matter how many treasures there are, it will not be a reason for attraction. Qi Bai's expression was also very hesitant: "Wesley, now, only you and I know the secret!" I was thinking about how to take a person who seems to have no consciousness out of the mountain, so I just agreed casually, Qi Bai licked his lips, and said: "Then just say: If I don't say it, you don't Say, only you and I will know forever!" I said "ah" and frowned: "You want to take this ancient house... as your own?" Qi Bai showed a greedy expression, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "heck".I sighed: "It's impossible, you can't swallow it, and you can't transport the items here. If you break the law and be caught in Qinghai to reclaim wasteland for these items, I don't see it as a crime." Qi Bai rubbed his hands, looking a little annoyed: "Five years, three years, please keep it a secret, two years, please... one year, really, one year, I just want to come here often within one year Take a break and promise not to damage everything here, and after one year, I will make everything public!" I looked at him for a while and nodded: "Okay, one year, after all, you discovered this place!" Qi Bai hit the snake with the stick: "Yes, it should belong to me!" I glared at him and he made a face.Turning back to the man, he said, "Let's go! We're leaving here!" After that man was slapped by me, he didn't have the ability to comprehend the language at all, and he didn't understand Qi Bai's words at all. Fortunately, I led him forward, and he was very obedient. Qi Bai suggested: "After leaving this time, you may not be interested in coming back. It would be a pity not to take a good look at this place!" I also had the same idea, of course I agreed, and I was afraid that the man would wander off, so I took him with me.Qi Bai has been there twice, and he is very familiar with the giant house.He took me around, explaining the structure of the mansion, the purpose of each room, and the abundance of materials accumulated in the mansion. In many cases, he pointed to the wooden man and said: "He told me all these, and many secret histories of the palace, so I unreservedly believe that he is really Emperor Jianwen!" I was also very puzzled. During the process of "visiting", for example, when I arrived in a magnificent hall, the person's dull expression would change a little bit. In their natural expression, there would be a strange expression, It seemed that he was trying to remember something, but he didn't want to come, which made his expression even more confused. When I was about to see the whole house, I suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked Qi Bai: "He once said that when he fled here, there were more than a hundred people?" Qi Bai nodded: "He certainly said that. He also said...some people died one after another, but he couldn't remember when his own died. When he mentions it, it's like the current virtue. " I took a deep breath: "There are so many people who will be buried after death. Did he say where they were buried?" Qi Bai let out an "ah", obviously he had never thought of this question before, he immediately waved his hand: "I see, he must also be in this cave, and so am I. When I saw him, I was shocked too much. Experience must be easy to find! " For the rest of the mansion, we just glanced at it briefly and then went out the gate. The man followed very obediently, like a baby. This kind of neuropathy seems to be a person who has suffered a very serious brain injury. After going out of the gate, I walked around the house, the cave is very big, the center is outside the huge house, and there are quite a lot of open spaces around.From the walls of the house to the walls of the cave, everything is more than 300 meters long—as I said when I first entered, the cave was unusually large. Half an hour later, Qi Bai's eyes were fixed on a cave wall.The walls of the cave are already steep and uneven. In many places, there are springs gushing out and sunlight shining everywhere. There are mountain vines thicker than an arm. Qi Bai was staring at one place, which also attracted my attention. I followed his gaze and saw that some of the cave walls looked natural, but upon closer inspection, one could see that they were man-made. At the footing of the excavated traces, following the protruding stones that can be stepped on, you can climb a stone terrace with a protrusion of about 20 meters. Due to the barrier of the protruding stone flat, the situation on the stone flat is not very clear. Qi Bai stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said in a very tone: "It's right here!" I have no doubts about Qi Bai's judgment, he is an expert in tomb robbery, he doesn't even need to look where the dead are buried, he can know by his sixth sense alone. As he spoke, he walked forward in a hurry, and I also followed a few steps quickly, thinking of that person, and looking back, I saw that person was looking up at the stone ping, with a strange expression on his face.I asked out loud, "What did you think of?" The man didn't answer.Qi Bai also turned around for a moment, and snorted, "He probably knew he was buried there! Leave him alone, let's go up and have a look!" I hesitated for a while, because the man had been in a daze since I slapped him, and he would stand still if I didn't take him away, so I didn't care, thinking that we were climbing up the cave wall, He will definitely stay where he is and will not wander off. When Qi Bai reached the cave wall, he immediately stepped on the stones available for stepping, climbed up, and after a while, he reached the stone flat.As soon as he arrived at Shiping, Qi Bai let out a cheer, and pointed to a cave entrance on the cave wall. At that time, I looked down the ship. The stone floor was about fifty meters above the ground. Looking down from a high position, the whole huge house could be seen more clearly, and the man was still standing there.Qi Bai always carries a flashlight with him at all times, and when he shines a light into the cave, I hear him breathing in. I hurried to the entrance of the cave, the flashlight in Qi Bai's hand was not very bright, but it was enough to see the situation at the entrance of the cave clearly.The hole is not deep, and its shape is very strange. It seems that it is half natural and half artificial.The hole is long, with many small holes on both sides, like a beehive, no less than a hundred, each of which is round, and the hole is sealed with a stone tablet, on which are engraved words, all of which are official positions and names. The first official title I saw was "Zheng Sipin Shao Zhan Shi", which was an official in Zhan Shi's mansion who was in charge of assisting Prince Zun, and it was exactly the status of exiled with Emperor Jianwen. We used a flashlight to shine a light on the steles one by one. It is conceivable that behind the steles, there must be a coffin, and inside the coffin is naturally the body of the deceased.
