what the hell is

Li Yang smiled lightly: "He's not a master, why is he here?"

That person is not the master!What kind of person is the master?My eyelids twitched wildly, and my heart beat faster as I walked up. I was so nervous that I could hardly breathe.

At the top of the stairs, Li Yang knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened in response.I walked in with him.

The room was quite large, about seventy to eighty square meters, but it looked very empty, with almost no furniture.The floor is covered with tatami mats, and the window sills are drawn with curtains, so the light is very dim.

In the middle of the room, there is a shrine on which three golden statues of gods are enshrined. I tried to identify them, but I barely recognized one of them as Jigong, and I didn't know the others.

A large table covered with a yellow tablecloth was placed in front of the shrine, and it was full of exquisite things.Standing in front of the table was a man about 1.7 meters tall. He looked very thin.My eyelids twitched suddenly. From the back view, this man looks like a big monkey to me.

"Master, they are here."

The one who opened the door for us was a little boy, about ten years old, with a bald head.he said to the man.

The man turned around abruptly. He was wearing a very old-fashioned suit, which was crumpled and looked very rustic.With a small crew cut, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, an honest look.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but in this atmosphere, I always feel that his eyes are strange, and the smile that seems to be absent at the corner of his mouth looks very gloomy.

I was watching, and suddenly there was a dull thunder outside the window, "哗啦哗啦" the rain was getting heavier and heavier.The light in the room has also become particularly poor.

The man walked up to us and smiled: "My surname is Xie, please call me Master Xie."

I imitated Li Yang and bowed: "Thank you, Master."

Master Xie looked at us with a smile: "Don't be afraid, viewing Luoyin will not hurt your primordial spirit. We will go to the underworld to have a look and come back."

This person, to be honest, gave me a very, very bad feeling, like a cloud of haze, I couldn't see through it, and felt very dangerous.

I plucked up my courage and said, "Thank you, master, will you still use me in the underworld?"

Master Xie smiled: "If Ms. Tang can't go, I have to trouble you. Your name is Liu Yang, right?"

"Yes."

He looked at me, didn't say anything, went back to the table, supported the table with both hands, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Neither Li Yang nor I dared to speak, the gloomy room was a bit chilly, and the difference in light was like a dark sky.The little boy was sitting in the corner of the room, seemingly in meditation, with his hands folded on his lap, motionless.

It was a toothache where he sat, with the light cord behind him.I wanted to pull over, but I didn't have the courage, so I had to shrink myself in the darkness.

There was an indescribably oppressive atmosphere in the room, like a swamp swirling secretly, and the silence was unbearable.Like a bare-bottomed baby thrown into the prairie, I feel that there are dangers in this small room.

I don't know how long it took in silence when there was a knock on the door.Li Yang opened the door, and Li Damin's mother walked in.

She actually stripped down to a set of underwear!His long black hair was scattered over his shoulders, covering his face, and his facial features were unclear.

It was very cold in the room, and she couldn't help hugging her shoulders, shivering.

I watched and swallowed.

Thank you Master for clapping your hands.The little boy who was meditating opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the table, picked up the two yellow talismans on the top, and put them on the ground.

Master Xie said softly, "Ms. Tang, please stand on these two talismans."

Li Damin's mother was a little scared, so she walked over and stood gently on it.

"Okay. Keep your feet still and sit down slowly." Master Xie said.

Mother Li was sitting on the tatami mat with her hands hugging her knees. It was obvious that she was very nervous and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Master Xie came to the table, lit the lighter, and put the flame on the long burning lamp standing in front of the shrine. The wick ignited immediately, and a bean of flame slowly lit up.

The lights were faint, emitting a light yellow light. The shadows of the few of us were stretched out and refracted on the wall, forming black shadows that looked like ghosts. coolness.

The little boy on the side suddenly made a sound similar to a country tune: "Mmm~~~mm~~~" Just "um", because La's voice was of different pitches, it sounded like a tune.

Accompanied by the song "Mmmm", Master Xie was facing the ever-burning lamp, and muttered something in his mouth: "Just light up the Taoist lamp, guard the gods, teach the Three Treasures, and keep the spirit world..."

He uttered these words quickly, and in tune with the little boy's voice, formed a very weird song.The flickering lights gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.

After reading the song, Master Xie lit three long incense sticks, held them in both hands, bowed to the three god statues, and then put the three long incense sticks in a red basin.The red pot is full of rice with white flowers.With the burning of the three incense sticks, a strange thing happened.

The pot of rice was slowly turning black, as if it had been burned by fire, and the speed seen by the eyes was slowly expanding.Li Yang and I were terrified and looked at each other, it was really fucking evil.

Master Xie suddenly pulled out the three sticks of incense, with the sticks facing down, and on the yellow tabletop, amulets were drawn in the air.His hands were extremely fast, and the cigarettes were tangled in a faint mass, which looked like a gray cloud.While drawing talismans, he slowly chanted some mantras. He uttered the words quickly and sticky. It sounded like the dialect of that area in southern Fujian, and he couldn't understand a word.

The little boy took a wooden fish, and with Master Xie's incantation, knocked on the wooden fish.The small gavel struck you fast and swiftly, like a storm, but it was always able to keep up with Master Xie's uttering rhythm, which is really rare.

After painting for a long time, Master Xie stopped the incense, reinserted it into the basin, then picked up a red towel on the table with a yellow charm wrapped inside, and handed it to Li Damin's mother: "Ms. Tang, please wrap the towel around your head." , cover your eyes."

Li Damin's mother took it very piously, and slowly wrapped herself up, with both ends of the towel behind her head, and tied a tight knot.

To be honest, the atmosphere is extremely depressing and treacherous now, making people involuntarily short of breath and heartbeat.

I was thinking, could this be a very clever hypnosis?If it was really a scam, then Master Xie was considered a top-notch magician, and his method of controlling the atmosphere of the scene was a master.

After doing all these things well, Master Xie took out another stack of brightly colored Ming coins, all of which were pictures of the Jade Emperor or something.He smiled and said, "Going to the underworld, I need to take care of some little ghosts. This is the money to buy the road."

He used his hand as a pen to draw some talisman on the coin.The whole person was engrossed and absorbed in his fingers. Although he couldn't understand what he wrote, he only felt that there was a storm in the small room, and the ever-burning lamp on the table swayed like the wind, and the light flickered.

After painting, he handed the coin to Li Damin's mother and asked her to hold it tightly.

He took out a string of copper coins tied with a red string from his pocket, grabbed one end, let the string of money hang in the air, and slowly shook it from side to side.Then, throw the money on the table.

I counted them carefully, and there were six copper coins in total, forming a pattern similar to the Big Dipper on the table.

When Master Xie saw this pattern, he frowned and murmured: "It's not good, it's not good."

The little boy stopped the wooden fish and asked in a childish voice: "Master, are you not going to do it today?"

As soon as this sentence came out, no one else said anything, Li Damin's mother cried "wow": "Master, please save my son, today I will go to the underworld to find him no matter what."

"Don't cry." Master Xie stroked her hair, his voice was really magical, and the woman stopped sobbing as soon as he said a word.

"Ms. Tang, you have to be... mentally prepared." Master Xie said.

"Preparation for what?" the woman asked.

"Be prepared to go to hell and never return." Hearing Master Xie's words, the hairs on my body stood on end, and my teeth chattered.If you can't come back, any fool knows what the result will be if you go to the underworld and don't come back.

"I... am not afraid..." Li Damin's mother's voice was weak, but there was determination in her tone.

"Okay." Master Xie sighed, came behind Li Damin's mother, stretched out his right palm and gently covered her back.Slightly closing his eyes, he began to chant a mantra.

The little boy knocked on the wooden fish and started circling the two of them.

Li Yang and I couldn't help but backed up until we reached the wall.We both had a subconscious feeling that the farther away from this horrific scene the better.

Master Xie raised his right hand, and his fingers kept changing, forming unimaginable gestures one after another.

Li Yang's face was full of light, and he whispered to me: "This is the Taoist handprint."

An extremely terrifying scene appeared. Following the change of Master Xie's handprint, Li Damin's mother began to fluctuate emotionally. Her whole body trembled as if she had gone epileptic, and her feet kept tapping the two talismans on the ground.

The little boy knocked on the wooden fish faster and faster, and the frequency of walking also accelerated, and his voice became louder and louder as he chanted scriptures.

Li Damin's mother suddenly screamed: "There is a light. I saw two figures approaching."

Master Xie waved his hand, motioned the little boy to stop the wooden fish, and asked gently, "What kind of person is it?"

"I can't see clearly. It's just two vague figures swaying there. They, they seem to let me follow."

Master Xie said: "Follow, they are ghost messengers, they will help you go to the underworld."

Afterwards, Li Damin's mother didn't speak for a long time, and her body didn't tremble as much as it did at the beginning. She hugged her knees tightly and sat there motionless.

Master Xie and the little boy stood quietly beside each other without talking to each other.Li Yang and I had nothing to say, just staring at each other with big eyes.

After about twenty minutes, the woman suddenly said: "There is a house...the door is open...the two figures walked in. Master, shall I go in too?"

Master Xie asked, "What kind of house is that?"

"The high wall and thick tiles should be red! The wall is very long, and there seems to be a large courtyard inside, like an ancient Jiangnan house."

"Okay, now you follow in, there should be no danger." Master Xie said softly.

The woman's breathing became slightly rapid, and it sounded like she was walking a long way.

"Master, I'm coming in. Inside is a very big yard, full of trees, so beautiful. Those two people entered the hall, and I will go in too."

Following her description, I seem to have walked into the mysterious world of the underworld.

The room was quiet, only the slight "cracking" sound of the lights burning could be heard.

"The hall is very empty, and I can't see anyone. Hey, I saw that figure waving at me from the back door. I'm going to go."

"Wow, it's so beautiful. It turns out that the backyard is full of colorful flowers and trees. There are red flowers and white flowers. It's like a big garden."

As soon as she said this, Master Xie coughed: "Ms. Tang, every tree in the garden here is the soul of a person. You need to find your son's tree and see what his soul is like."

"But there are so many trees, where can I find them?"

"There must be a way. Have you seen an old woman?" Master Xie asked.

"Ah, I saw it. An old lady in black clothes was sweeping the yard with her hunched body. Can I find her?"

"Yes, look for her, she is in charge of the primordial spirit."

Then there was silence again.

"...the old lady is leading the way. The place is getting deeper and deeper, a bit like a forest. I didn't expect that this yard is so big, and I haven't arrived after walking for a long time. How can Damin's Yuanshen hide so deep? ’ she said to herself.

"It's getting darker and darker. I'm walking in a place that looks like a tree-lined path, with towering trees on both sides. It's just that the big trees here have no beautiful flowers, and they are all withered and yellow leaves, as if they have entered autumn. .”

"Grandma stood in front of a tree, my God, is this the soul of Damin? This tree is short and small, the branches are empty, and there are leaves all over the ground. Woooo..." the woman cried Get up: "Damin, is this really you? What's wrong with you?"

Master Xie's face was scary and gloomy.

Li Yang plucked up his courage and asked, "Master, is Li Damin okay?"

Master Xie said: "As long as the Yuanshen can be found in this courtyard, it means that this person is still alive in this world."

"Ah." I exclaimed: "So, Li Damin is not in the underworld, he is not dead?"

Master Xie walked around the ground twice, and at some point in his hand, there was an extra rosary, and he quickly twiddled the beads on it.

"His tree of primordial spirit has withered and fallen. If he doesn't rescue him in time, he may really die." Master Xie said.

The woman whimpered: "Master, you have to save him."

Master Xie sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I don't know where he is now. It seems that I can only do something wrong. Li Yang, did you take the painting I asked you to bring?"

Li Yang hurriedly said: "I brought it, it's in the car below. I'll go get it." He opened the door and ran out quickly.

Master Xie placed a few handprints behind the woman, put one hand together, and suddenly retracted: "Come back!"

The woman responded, her body went limp, and she fell on the tatami.

Master Xie didn't even look at me, and made a move: "Liu Yang, come and help me, help me hold her."

I hurriedly agreed, walked over and squatted down, and helped the weak woman up.Her forehead, front, and back were soaked with sweat, her hair stuck to her forehead in locks and strands, her body was as soft as boneless, lying softly in my arms.I looked down and saw that her chest was raised high, with two red dots protruding obviously.

I couldn't help but blushed and my heart beat, and suddenly my ears felt hot, and I felt something was wrong, and when I looked up, I saw Master Xie looking at me.This person's eyes are very treacherous, and his expression is indescribably secretive. He squinted his eyes and asked me: "Does it look good?"

After hearing what he said, my face became even redder, and I felt a lot of anger, as if I was parading naked in the street.

Master Xie squatted beside me, looking straight into my eyes: "Things started because of you, and will end because of you."

I look at him.

He said slowly: "Get up in a while, and you will be the ghost boy."
