what the hell is

The lid was finally closed and the sound died away.But to us, it seems that the sound lingered in the air and buzzed in our ears.

At this point we can do nothing but tremble.

Li Yang pulled off the gas mask and threw it aside, his head and face were covered with sweat, as if he had just fished it out of a water tank.He leaned against the pillar, gasping for breath, closing his eyes, looking very tired.

After a long time, Tongsuo asked, "Where did those voices come from?"

"Hell," I said.

"That kind of voice can only exist in hell." Li Yang wiped off his sweat: "I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I listen to it again."

"Shall we go back?" I said.

"Take a rest first." Tongsuo sat down on the ground: "I can't walk a step anymore, I just want to sleep."

Li Yang struggled to stand up: "Don't sleep here, I want to go back to sleep." That's what he said, but his legs softened and he sat on the ground.

Not to mention, I'm like a plague chicken at this time.The three of us sat in a circle with our backs against a pillar.

The hall was quiet, and the copper lock was in a daze while pushing the flashlight switch back and forth, and the big tripod opposite him appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow.

"Are you afraid of death?" he asked suddenly.

"We have to face it whether we are afraid or not," Li Yang said.

"What about you? Old Liu." Tong Suo asked me.

"I'm not very afraid." I said, "I have failed in this life, and I don't feel bad about dying. I even have the hope of starting over again in my next life."

"Your thinking is really negative. If you don't work hard, even if you reincarnate ten times, you still have to beg for food." Li Yang said.

"Small wealth depends on frugality and great wealth depends on heaven. Brother, I can know the destiny now." I said.

Tongsuo suddenly said: "If there is a next life, I don't plan to be a human anymore."

"You don't intend to be a human, but a beast?" Li Yang mocked him.

"Your state is not worthy of talking to me. Why do you have to do something? If there is a next life, I will die directly, with no worries and no attachments, the realm of emptiness." Tongsuo said.

I laughed: "Nirvana is not easy. That's called jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. You can only do it if you have cultivated to the level of a god. Like us, it's good not to be lonely ghosts, and we will honestly wait for the arrangement of the Lord of the Underworld. It’s reincarnation. If you are lucky, you will go to the house of the secretary of the provincial party committee to become a junior, and if you are not lucky, you will be sent directly to the cancer village in Qiongshangou. From birth, you will be born with ascites and a big belly, and you will run around the village with bare buttocks.”

"Why should I spend my next life in China? Is it okay to invest in a European country like Switzerland and Norway? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is fresh, and it's like a paradise. As soon as I land, I open a bank account, and the country pays money every month. This life is left to play." .” Tongsuo said.

Li Yang laughed loudly: "With your virtue, you want to be reborn in Switzerland. If you want to go there, you have to be a good person in the past life. You go to nightclubs every day, and you are a groom every night. Don't talk about anything else. I will eliminate you."

"I'm in free love. I'm willing to do what you love. Lord Yan has to be reasonable." Tongsuo retorted.

The two of them were like talking about cross talk, you said something to each other, I listened to it and laughed secretly, and my fear was relieved a lot.I leaned against the pillar, found a comfortable position, my eyelids sank for a while, and fell asleep at some point.

Not to mention, I slept soundly.I haven't felt a deep sleep for a long time, and the quality of sleep is usually very poor.Here today, it is surprisingly sweet.

He was soundly asleep when he was suddenly woken up by someone: "Old Liu, old Liu."

I groaned, turned over and continued to sleep, but my body lost my balance and fell on the ground.After a jolt, he woke up immediately.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw Li Yang and Tongsuo standing against the pillar, staring at something stupidly.

I got up from the ground and leaned over: "What are you looking at?"

When I saw it, I was also dumbfounded.

I saw a bright pattern projected from the apse. This pattern is a huge gossip, falling on the bluestone slab.Not standing still, but turning slowly.Especially the Tai Chi fish in the middle, black and white changes, complementing each other, it has a very magical feeling after staring at it for a long time.

There's something in the apse!

Maybe it's because the gossip patterns are so bright and imposing that we don't feel afraid at all.They scrambled to run to the apse.

Going in from the side and entering the main hall behind, we were all stunned.

This large hall has a large area, with four red pillars at the corners and gray stone slabs on the ground.Looking up, there are staggered beams in the air, dense eaves and wide beams, and there is actually a huge gossip skylight on the highest viewing roof.

The light above passes through the skylight, and an unpredictable and ever-changing gossip map is projected on the ground.The whole hall is also set off brightly, without any haze.

There are many statues of figures on both sides of the main hall, there are arhats, gods and monsters, men, women, old and young, there are dozens of people.

The strange thing is that each of these statues is the size of a real person, with lifelike appearance, and the clothes on their bodies are radiant and exquisite, and they look like real people.

There is no need for a flashlight here, and we walked slowly forward from the end of the hall.

"Hey, is this made of wax?" Tongsuo said, looking at a fairy statue in front of him.

This fairy is an old man with a white beard, wearing a court dress of an unknown dynasty, and looking ahead with a smile.Yellow skin, black eyes, white hair and white beard, and a vivid demeanor, even a fool can see that this is a wax figure.

Ordinary mud-bodied wood plastic can't reach such a vivid level.

The shape of this old fairy is quite gentle, and there are some images of evil spirits in the statues, with ghost faces and human bodies, disheveled hair, wide open mouths, long red tongues, and claws, as if they are about to pounce.

Walking in it, one can't help but feel the eerie coldness.

I said, "This ghostly place reminds me of the uncanny valley theory of the Japanese."

"What is the Uncanny Valley?" Bronze Lock asked.

"When a robot is more than 95% similar to a human being, even if it is slightly different from a human being, it will make people feel very stiff and scary. The most common props that appear in horror movies are wax figures and dolls. An anthropomorphic anthropomorphic object."

Tongsuo let out a sigh of relief: "Stop talking, I feel cold all over from what you said."

At this time, Li Yang let out a "huh",

At this time, Li Yang said "Hey": "Look."

On both sides of the back of the main hall, there are huge black curtains hanging from the roof to the ground.The drapery is thick and thick, with many weird patterns drawn on it, these patterns look like stick figures of grimaces.On the somewhat distorted oval face, there are three black holes for eyes and mouth, as if shouting.These grimaces, one after another, are densely packed and countless.

When we came to the curtain, Li Yang stretched out his hand to pick it up. There was still a lot of space inside, but it was too dark to see anything.

He turned on the flashlight and took a photo, and the scene inside really surprised us.

The inside is empty, except that there is an ancient well on the ground in the middle.The edge of the well is very high, made of blue bricks, and a lot of words are painted on the outside with red dye.The arrangement of these characters is irregular, and the size is different. From the structure, it should be Chinese characters, but I don't recognize any of them when I read it carefully.

These words are written all over the well wall, which seems to have a strong visual impact, very evil, like a talisman.

We looked at each other and hesitated for a while, but Li Yang led the way and walked in.Brass Lock and I followed behind.

When I came to the mouth of the well, I found a lot of yellow charms scattered on the ground, each of which was as long as the diameter of the well head. It seemed that they should have sealed the well, and someone tore it off.

Lie down at the mouth of the well and look down, the inside is pitch black and bottomless.This kind of darkness, if you insist on describing it, is a kind of emptiness, as if there is a huge hollow below the well.

But is this possible?

We are now in the hidden mezzanine between the 21st floor and the roof of the building. According to normal logic, the well should be below the 21st floor.

But standing by the well and looking in, there is a feeling of facing a huge abyss and feeling like an ant, which is definitely not something you can experience in the city.

Even if you stand on the top of a high-rise building and look down at the bustling streets, you still don't feel the way I do now.This well is an abyss, and that kind of blackness has been separated from people's normal cognition and emotions.

As if floating in space, facing the infinitely vast universe.

The three of us shone down with flashlights at the same time, and the beam of light shot straight into the darkness, and finally turned into a line.In the light source, nothing can be illuminated, there is no reflection, it is like being swallowed by darkness.

If I saw this well in an underground cave instead of a mansion, I would not hesitate to believe that the bottom of the well can lead to the center of the earth.

But this well is in the building. If it is really infinitely deep, it will definitely run through the entire building. How can the residents remain indifferent?

I suddenly came up with a very strange idea - the whole Taoist temple was actually built for this well.
