what the hell is

What's the reaction?Could it be that the ghost reacted?

Ma Danlong waved at the copper lock: "Take out the paper money."

Tongsuo unloaded the big backpack, and took out stacks of thick coins and paper money from it. Ma Danlong asked us to take a little each and sprinkle them as we walked.

Paper money fluttered and danced all over the sky.In the corridors and corridors, all the paths we walked were full of ghost coins.Ma Danlong took out another black rattle-like thing, and shook it as he walked. The sound was clear and tinkling, and it was heard far away in the dark corridor.

I've seen this thing before, and the Tang suit master who gave Guan Feng Chao saved had such a one in his hand.I asked Ma Danlong what it was, and Ma Danlong said: "This is a soul bell. It is a psychic thing. It is specially shaken for ghosts. It is not a thing in the world. When the bell rings, it can guide lonely souls and wild ghosts. I shake it now, it is For them not to harass."

I half understood, and followed him all the way up to the fourth floor.I saw a dark corridor with rooms on either side.The room didn't have a door, and there was a big black hole exposed. There was a cold wind blowing from the inside, and the temperature was extremely low.Ma Danlong rattled the bell and walked in front, followed by Li Damin with my back on my back, and the three of them kept throwing paper money into the air.

There is no light burden on a long journey.Even if Li Damin didn't sink, my arms were a little sore after climbing four floors, my head was sweating from exhaustion, and I was wheezing and wheezing.Just when he couldn't grit his teeth, Ma Danlong stopped outside the door of the penultimate room in the corridor.

What is more strange is that this house is not like other rooms, there is actually a door, half hidden, and the gap is dark and dark, without light.

With the light of the flashlight, I saw the house number "48" written on the door, which may refer to the eighth room on the fourth floor.The last "8" was probably written with too much paint, and there was a mark on the circle at the bottom of the number "8".

Ma Danlong opened the door and walked in. I followed behind with Li Damin on my back. When I stepped in the door with one foot and stepped out with the other, I suddenly remembered something. For a moment, I was stunned on the spot, like a fool.

Li Yang pushed me from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

With a bitter voice, I said to the house number: "Old Li, look at this number, do you think of anything?"

Li Yang took a photo with his flashlight: "48, what's the matter?" As soon as the words fell, he said "ah", and he was also shocked.Ma Danlong looked back at us: "What's the matter, I was surprised."

We've seen this figure in ancient paintings before!In the backyard of the Taoist temple in the painting, on the foot door of the yard, "48" is written, which is exactly the same as the one on the door of this room.At that time, we were guessing whether this number would be left by Li Damin.

Speaking of Li Damin, this kid's body is still on my back.At that time, I couldn't tell what it was like, my whole body was like an electric current, and the hairs stood on end. If it wasn't for my strong willpower, maybe I would have thrown Li Damin out.

We told Ma Danlong about this, Ma Danlong's expression was very calm, he just said "Oh" and pinched his fingers: "Li Jun has been in the painting for a few days, and I don't know how it is now."

Tongsuo said: "Li Damin has become a fairy, right?"

Ma Danlong shook his head: "If he becomes a fairy, this painting will be destroyed. To explain it in the language of modern science, becoming a fairy is going against the sky and needs to absorb a lot of energy. The vitality and charm of this painting will be completely absorbed. Turned into ashes and wiped out. This painting is still there, which shows that Li Damin has not succeeded."

"I was here last time to introduce his soul into the painting. Sigh." Ma Danlong sighed: "Come on, let's start the layout."

The room is very large and empty, and the eyes are full of dark colors that have been burned by the fire.The windows were pasted with some broken paper shells, barely able to block the bitter cold wind outside.

According to Ma Danlong's instructions, we began to arrange things for the practice.The first is two mirrors, about one meter high, placed back to back in the middle of the room.Li Damin and I sat in front of two mirrors.Surrounding us, Ma Danlong arranged a Taoist enchantment with candles, the whole was in an irregular ring shape, and there were many yellow talismans in between.

Ma Danlong asked Li Yang to take out four small white lanterns and hang them in front of the door.Light it with a lighter, and the fire in the lantern ignites faintly, like a Kongming lantern rising into the air in the dark.

On the outside of the lantern, there is a large character for "soul" written in seal script, which looks eerie and eerie. This atmosphere is even scarier than the appearance of a real ghost.

Ma Danlong ordered Tongsuo to squat on the corridor outside the door and use a brazier to burn the paper money. These paper money are for the ghosts in this building. The attitude must be respectful and not playful.Otherwise, you will be entangled by the genitals, and you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die.

With a bitter face, Tongsuo bit the bullet and went outside to burn paper.

Ma Danlong personally placed a shrine under the wall of the room to offer a seat.It turned out that the god he offered was none other than Ghost King Zhong Kui.This statue of Zhong Kui is about half a meter high, and it is colorful and vivid.He was bearded and glaring, holding a sword across the top of his head, and the golden rooster stood alone on the ground.That posture obviously wanted to kill the evil spirits and sweep across the underworld.

After all this is arranged, it will be eleven o'clock, and there is still some time.Everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.Li Yang didn't miss any opportunity to search for materials, and he played tricks with Ma Dan, asking him why he was able to cross the two realms of Yin and Yang, and what the underworld is like.

Ma Danlong said, people and ghosts have different paths, there are many things that cannot be told to you, and there is no way to tell them.Why, talking about the world after death with a living person is like talking about ice with summer insects. Although I try my best to describe what winter is like, it still completely surpasses the cognition and imagination of summer insects.Besides, I'm not a master of literature, my words can't describe what winter should look like at all.

Li Yang didn't give up and continued to question.

Ma Danlong smiled: "How about this, next time I will go to the underworld to look for someone, you come with me."

Li Yang swallowed his saliva: "Just go."

"I'm not responsible for whether I can come back after I go there." Ma Danlong laughed wickedly.

At first glance, Ma Danlong looked like a veteran of the quack, with a smile and a heart.Li Yang couldn't ask anything, so he asked Ma Danlong to tell a story about his experience.

Ma Danlong thought for a while and said: "Seeing that you are so curious, let me tell you one. That was the first time I knew that I had the ability to enter the underworld."

At that time, Ma Danlong was from the Northeast. He grew up between the white mountains and the black waters, and grew up in the countryside since he was a child.Their village is rich in hawthorn, and the roads are convenient. Although it is a rural area, it is very prosperous, and every family is living a good life.

Ma Danlong was still a young man at that time, dropped out of school and stayed at home, farming with his parents.Their neighbor lived a little widow who was about [-] years old. The man went up the mountain to blow up stones to death a few years ago, and she has been a widow all along.This little widow didn't look very good-looking, she had a birthmark on her face, but she couldn't stand it because she was young and had a graceful figure.

When Ma Danlong was young, he often went over the wall to peek at the widow's house. Although he couldn't see anything, he still found it extremely exciting.

Today, something went wrong.

This day was just in time for the big fair in the town, and both parents went to the fair, leaving Ma Danlong at home alone.Xiang, who was sleeping, heard someone slamming on the door outside the courtyard. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the room in a daze.When I came to the yard, I suddenly found that something was wrong. It should be a sunny morning, but in a blink of an eye, the sky turned into a gray and dark dusk. look.

He didn't think much about it, maybe it was going to rain.The door was still ringing "Kang Bang", and he shouted "Come here, come here".He pulled on his shoes and opened the door.It was foggy outside the door, and the previous village road could not be seen, as if a heavy smog had risen.There were three people standing in front of the gate, the first one was the neighbor's little widow, and the two behind were grown men, wearing black suits, looking upright and uncomfortable.The two men were hiding in the mist, their faces were unclear, and they could only vaguely see figures.

Seeing him, the little widow blushed and murmured, "Xiaolong, can you do me a favor?"

Ma Danlong was young and energetic, his whole body was hot, and he said that there was no problem.

The little widow said, I'm going on a long journey, but it's too tiring, can you carry me for a while.

This request is really weird. Just think about it, a woman suddenly knocks on your door and asks you to carry her, which is unreasonable.But Ma Danlong didn't know whether it was the sperm in his head, or he was sleepy and didn't wake up at all, so he agreed without hesitation, and felt that he had taken advantage of it.He often went to work in the fields, and he was a calf when he was young, so it was not a problem to carry a woman on his back.He closed the door, put on his shoes, squatted on the ground and said, "Sister-in-law, come up."

The little widow was also polite and went straight up on his back.Ma Danlong hugged the woman's buttocks from behind with both hands, and his body reacted immediately, swallowing his saliva and asking: "Sister-in-law, how do you go?"

The little widow pointed to the two people in the fog and said, "Follow them."

The two men in suits didn't speak, they turned around and walked into the depths of the smog, Ma Danlong followed behind with the woman on his back.

While walking, Ma Danlong chatted with the widow and asked where she was going.

The woman said, don't worry, it will be there in a while.

This walk, the road has no end, there are no buildings around, and when you look up, you can see the boundless desolation, and the eyes are black and yellow.I don't know how long I walked, but there was a boundary marker on the side of the road. Ma Danlong's first reaction was that I really can walk, so I went to the neighboring county.But after a closer look, there is a bump of dirt behind the monument, not like a boundary marker or a tombstone.He was a little dazed, not because he was afraid, but because he felt that something was wrong. In his memory, there was nothing so weird in this area.

He saw that the two men in suits had already crossed the boundary marker, standing in the yellow mist on the other side, obviously waiting for the two of them to pass.

He suddenly heard the little widow crying behind him.Ma Danlong didn't look back, and said as he walked, "Sister-in-law, why are you crying?"

The little widow was still crying, and what's more, there was an unknown smell wafting from her body, pungent and fishy.The little widow sobbed, "I'm going to see my man soon, I'm so excited."

Ma Danlong shuddered, looked up, and in the middle of the two men in suits, there was another man's shadow, which was very blurry, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.Ma Danlong was startled and frightened, only then did he remember that the little widow's man was dead, why would he appear again now, could it be that the boundary marker separated the worlds of Yin and Yang?

When he turned his head, he found that he had crossed the boundary marker, and his whole body was cold. He yelled: "You will die when you die, how can you deceive me?!" As he said, he threw the little widow on his back to the ground heavily, and did not fall. Fortunately, there was only a "click", and what fell from the back turned out to be a red coffin board, which fell to pieces...

"And then?" We held our breath and asked.The old boy Ma Danlong really has a way of telling stories, vividly.

Ma Danlong said: "Then I woke up and found that I was still sleeping in the house. I ran out of the yard quickly, and heard many people shouting that Widow Feng committed suicide. I ran to join in the fun and saw a corpse being carried out from the gate of the neighbor's house. The corpse covered with a white sheet is the little widow, who died after drinking pesticide. The smell of pesticide is exactly the strange smell that emanated from my body when I carried her. This is not evil What's more, the cremation was not practiced in our village at that time, only water burial. When she was going out, the young man who carried the coffin stepped on the air because he didn't look at the road, causing the whole coffin to fall to the ground and smashed into pieces. It's red..."

I could hear the hairs stand on end, this Madan gentian is really too big, if it were me, I would have been paralyzed with fright.

Li Yang asked: "Then you can enter and leave the underworld?"
