Chapter 456 Luo Zhen was frightened and fainted
Shen Yao pushed open the door and saw a room, which was quite luxurious in terms of layout.
This room is not as simple as the previous ones I have seen. Instead, it is quite complicated and contains a lot of furniture.
As you enter the room, you can see the table and chairs opposite, which are obviously used for conversation when people come to the room.
There is also a cushion on the chair to prevent people from feeling uncomfortable if they sit on it for a long time.
On the table, there was a teapot and teacups neatly arranged on a small tray.
On the wall behind the table and chairs hangs a landscape painting, which also has no signature or inscription.
Looking to the left side of the room, in addition to a soft couch covered with bedding, there is also a statue of Guanyin in the corner.
The statue of Guanyin is placed in a tall grid, with two red candles burning on the left and right, and a layer of ash in the small incense burner in front.
There is a cushion on the ground in front of him, which is obviously where the owner of this house kneels and worships the Guanyin statue frequently.
You can't walk directly from the door to the left. There is a tall lattice shelf in the middle with some small things scattered around.
Most of them are ceramic products, and there are also some jade items.
Go around this bookshelf and you will reach the bed and the Guanyin statue.
But Shen Yao was not in a hurry to go over and look. Instead, he looked to the right again.
Looking inside on the right, there is a bed, half of which is covered by a thick curtain, with only the half near the head of the bed falling down.
The bed seemed a little messy. At least when I looked in the middle of the room, I could see that the bedding was not made up and had wrinkles on it, and the pillow was crooked.
In front of the bed, there was a pair of crooked red embroidered shoes.
To be honest, when Shen Yao's eyes fell on the pair of red embroidered shoes, he couldn't help but tremble.
On the left side of the bed was a dressing table with a large bronze mirror on it and some jewelry boxes on the table below.
Some of these jewelry boxes were open and some were closed, and there were also some red hairpins and a pair of earrings scattered on the table.
It looked like the owner of the house had dismantled it before going to bed.
The stool in front of the table was covered with cloth and had tassels hanging around it.
Looking to the right, there is a wash rack with a copper basin on it. There is water in the basin and a square towel hanging on the edge.
Half of the handkerchief was soaked in water, and one could clearly see two small peach blossoms embroidered next to each other on it.
There is an arched door in the middle of the bed, and the curtains hanging from the arched door are tied on both sides so as not to block the view.
On both sides of the bed were upright lanterns with candles burning inside.
Then with the light from several candles in the room, I could barely see the room clearly.
Shen Yao's gaze fell on the bed and the half-fallen curtain. Was there something inside?
He turned his head to glance at Qi Chuzhao, and it was obvious that Qi Chuzhao had also noticed that place.
The two looked at each other and walked forward together.
Luo Zhenxian was actually reluctant to move forward, but in such a dim environment, he was afraid of being left behind, so he had no choice but to follow.
Walking to the bed, Shen Yao stretched out his hand and opened the curtain to the right at almost the fastest speed.
As the curtains were drawn aside, the light of the candle illuminated the entire bed.
What Shen Yao heard was Luo Zhenxian's scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ghost!"
Then, with a "thump", Luo Zhenxian fainted.
Even Qi Chuzhao was almost pulled down by the force of his fall.
But Qi Chuzhao's whole body was a little stiff now, and he had no strength to help Luo Zhenxian up, so he just let him fall.
Swallowing his saliva, Qi Chuzhao slowly took a step back, his raised arm trembling slightly.
"She is the bride."
His voice was trembling as he spoke, and there was no doubt that he would want to escape from this place in the next second.
But his brain was still able to think and was not damaged to the point of crashing.
Shen Yao also felt a breath stuck in his throat and was almost unable to speak.
At the end of the bed, a woman was hanging.
The reason why it is said to be hanging is that the woman's body was not touching the bed, not even touching the bedding on the bed.
She was wearing a white underdress, which was mostly stained red with blood.
Her limbs were tied with ropes and hung on the bed in a strange posture that was completely impossible for an ordinary person to do.
Her head was tilted, and her hair, which was originally neatly tied up at the back of her head, hung down in a mess.
There was blood on his face, and his eyes were wide open, but staring blankly ahead.
The part in front was exactly blocked by the curtain, so Luo Zhenxian fainted after seeing it just now.
Her whole body was concave towards the back, with her limbs hung from the back and her belly facing downwards.
It seemed like there was a very thin thing behind her head that was pulling her head back, making her keep her head raised like this.
The reason why Qi Chuzhao said she was the bride was because of her headdress.
It was a phoenix crown, and the eyes of the phoenix that seemed to be about to fly were even dotted with jade.
In the flickering candlelight, the eyes seemed to be looking at people.
Shen Yao gritted his teeth, forced himself to look away from the woman, and looked down at Luo Zhenxian.
"Move him out first, otherwise he will be frightened again when he wakes up."
"Okay." So, the two of them worked together to pick up Luo Zhen from the ground, moved him directly outside the door, and leaned him against the steps beside the door, letting him continue to lie unconscious.
Then the two of them went back into the room.
The room that Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan checked was also a place similar to a living room, and then it led to the back.
However, behind this house, there is only a small courtyard and an ancestral hall.
There is a locust tree planted in the yard, but it is a dead locust tree.
Apart from the locust trees, there are prayer flags all around.
It is clearly a simulated building built in an airtight place, but the prayer flags are fluttering.
Even the candles on the altar in the ancestral hall were flickering gently in one direction.
The two looked at each other and walked slowly forward.
The yard was paved with large blue bricks, with moss growing in the cracks.
The two men walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall and stopped, looking up at the tablets placed inside.
There is a certain distance between each tablet, and the number of tablets increases from top to bottom. It seems that visits are made according to seniority.
Gu Chaoxi looked around and saw that most of the tablets were for men, and they were all members of the Zhao family.
The two sides of the ancestral hall seemed somewhat empty and dim.
If there weren't enough candles on the altar, you wouldn't even be able to see the scene around you.
Looking up, I only saw the scattered beams, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this ancestral hall.
