what the hell is

Peng Gang was almost scared to pee, he slowly backed away, trying not to make a sound.It could be felt that his father was sitting there motionless, silent, like a dead man.

There is a question here that I can't figure out: "Peng Gang, if you were your father and someone suddenly broke into your territory, what would you do?"

"Hehe." He smiled wryly: "Old Liu, I understand what you mean. If it was me at the time, my first reaction would definitely be to shout 'Who is it?'."

"Yes, I would yell too. This is an inevitable human reaction. But your father turned off the light very quickly, kept quiet, and hid in the dark. No matter how I hear it, something is wrong. It shouldn't be this kind of reaction."

"It's actually easy to explain," he said. "I think he doesn't want people to find out about his secret. I knocked over the jar and made a sound. My dad can't determine where the sound came from. If someone really came to the basement , he can't tell if it's directed at him. If he shouts 'who', he will completely expose himself."

"Anyway, your dad's reaction is weird." I said, "Even if your analysis makes sense. I think it's not normal for him to be so calm in his subconscious first reaction when he encounters a sudden change."

Peng Gang scratched the center of his eyebrows, his expression very depressed: "Old Liu, do you know what I felt when the light went out?"

"what?"

"I feel that the person in the dark is definitely not my father! Father and son are related by blood. After all, I have lived with my father for 20 years. I am familiar with that feeling. And at that moment, I felt that in the dark It was a stranger. A...monster who took my father's body."

I swallowed, and my hairs stood on end.

"You mean, it's not your father's soul that came back from the underworld, but something else... lonely ghosts?" My teeth chattered.

"That's what I thought. At that time, Mr. Li gave another explanation."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He said that person is still my father, but people have three souls and seven souls. After the resurrection, my father didn't call back all the souls. There are few souls and lack of souls. That's why it turned into this strange appearance."

I gasped, this matter has completely exceeded my cognition and imagination.Only wry smile.

"Mr. Li said that it is very simple to completely solve this matter." Peng Gang said.

"How to deal with it?"

"That is to go to the underworld once to find out what happened."

Hearing this, I almost burned my mouth with a cigarette, are these people crazy?Such crazy ideas can come up.Going to the underworld, isn't that death?

"When he said this, I pondered for a long time. If my father really lost his soul in the underworld, as a son, I have the responsibility to find it back. To be honest, I was very scared, but I still did it. I made up my mind to die. I told Mr. Li that I wanted to go to the underworld, but he waved his hand and said, I don’t need you to go, I will go.”

My hands and feet were cold and I almost held my breath.

Peng Gang looked at the street lights in the distance, his eyes were ethereal: "Just when he said that sentence, I think he is a real man, a person who is absolutely trustworthy."

I slapped the table and cursed: "Nonsense. Not to mention whether there is a hell, there really is such a ghostly place, you can go there if you want!"

Peng Gang looked at me: "You forgot the most important person."

"Who?"

"Ma Danlong. The one who summoned my father's soul."

It was only then that I remembered that there was such a person, and I couldn’t help saying: "Can he help you? Nonsense! Your father is such a ghost, I guess he is responsible for it! He is a crooked way, back to the founding of the country, this kind of magic stick can do it Shoot!"

"You mean my father did this on purpose?"

"Hey. What do you think? I reckon that kid has summoned the souls of many people. He organized these resurrected people to form an association or something, using other people's souls as hostages. He will be the president, and the entire dead ghost alliance undead It is not impossible for the army to engage in some acts of money-gathering and sabotage."

Peng Gang looked at me obsessively, and suddenly smiled: "Old Liu, you should write fantasy YY novels, your imagination is much stronger than mine and Mr. Li's."

I snorted coldly: "You are still a child, and you have no idea how complicated and sinister this society is."

Peng Gang said lightly: "It's too late for you to say anything, Mr. Li has already gone to find Ma Danlong."

I looked at him and suddenly thought of something: "Tell you the truth, you were there when Ma Danlong summoned the soul that day. Did you lie to your father about the details of the summoning?"

"Do you think I can still tell the truth to such a person who is neither human nor ghost?"

Hearing Peng Gang say that about his father, I really don't like to hear it. I frowned and said, "Don't say that, no matter what, he is your father after all." I said that when I interviewed Brother Peng, he praised his son without concealment. The words are all said.

Peng Gang was very uncomfortable, his eyes were red: "Old Liu, I really don't know what to do. How could such a weird and terrible thing happen to our family? My mother is suffering day by day, life is worse than death, and her hair is white .I'm so uncomfortable. Thanks to Mr. Li..."

Hearing this, I frowned: "What did Li Damin say?"

"Mr. Li said, don't worry, he will investigate and find out. He said that such a thing is not something that students like me can participate in, and the water in it is very deep. He also said that if the investigation is clear, he will come back and tell me. But since that day , I can no longer contact him. I guess he went to find Ma Danlong."

My heart sank, Li Damin is full of food, he has nothing to do.

I sighed: "After bumping into your dad in the basement, you escaped safely?"

"Yes."

"He didn't suspect you?"

"Probably not." Peng Gang breathed a sigh of relief: "He never mentioned this matter at home, and he never looked for me alone. The secretary girl is very smart, and I probably won't ask for trouble to talk to him."

"That's good."

"Old Liu, will you go to Mr. Li?"

I was a little anxious: "You don't need to worry about it. You should talk about Ma Danlong, what kind of person is that? What details are you hiding?"

"Ma Danlong is a very ordinary-looking person, with a chubby face, and looks very simple and honest. People like him can't be found after mixing in the crowd, and they can't leave a deep impression on people."

"About how old are you?" I asked.

"It's possible to be between 28 and 45 years old. It's impossible to be sure, and it's impossible to judge." Peng Gang said.

"Wear it?"

"Very, very ordinary, black jacket and jeans, it looks like a street stall."

"That's not right." I scratched my head: "It is said that a person with such a great ability must be the guest of the rich and powerful. Now people with money and power believe this. Is he so poor? So ordinary? I remembered , He once asked for half of your company's shares, this is certainly not the first time he has done so, can he have no money?"

"Mr. Li has made guesses on this issue." Peng Gang said: "He said that people have seen through life and death, so naturally they don't care about worldly things."

I nodded: "That's true. Then tell me about that summoning."

Peng Gang told me that the process of summoning spirits that he told his father was similar to the real situation, but he didn't mention a few details.

First of all, on the ritual vessel, Ma Danlong used the method of summoning the soul, not only using the incense burner and long incense, but also the most important thing, which is a black Buddha statue.

This Buddha is about the length of an adult's palm, with a dark body and sits on a lotus throne with his knees crossed. He looks fat and fat, as if he has no arms and his face is unclear.At that time, the Buddha had been fiddling in Ma Danlong's hands. Peng Gang also glanced at it, but didn't take a closer look, but he felt that this Buddha statue had a very strange evil, and it didn't look like the Buddhist statue in the temple. His Holiness, that posture is a bit like a Southeast Asian style.

Peng Gang said that during the holidays after high school graduation, he joined a tour group to visit Xinmatai.I saw a very simple shrine in a village on the border of Thailand. The Buddha statue enshrined on the shrine looked a bit like that made by Madanlong.Not exactly the same, but similar in style.

When Ma Danlong summoned the soul, he put the black Buddha statue behind the incense burner, lit the long incense, and the green smoke was faint. In the thick smoke and mist, it looked vivid, as if it had come to life.
