Chapter Seventy-Seven: Back to the Shadow Mountain

I slipped the flashlight into my trouser pocket and continued to walk forward.

Yan Yanan walked side by side with me, and said as he walked: "According to the old Bao of Jisoul Village, the old Qingxiang No. 72 has actually sunk into the ground, in the seventies, there was a small earthquake here, and the old houses nearby were not affected, only the underground collapse of No. 72, the whole house completely sank into the ground, and on the night of its sinking, the East China Sea collapsed, bringing a large amount of sea sand, and the big pit left after the collapse was completely filled. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Something so big happened, don't the locals know about it?" ”

Yan Yanan: "At the time of the earthquake, there was no one in the old residential area, and Lao Qingxiang No. 72 was built near the beach, far away from other villas. ”

I said, "Since the locals don't know where Lao Qingxiang No. 72 went, how did the people of Jisoulzhuang know?" ”

Yu Yanan said: "The Yuxian lineage of Jisoul Village is very highly accomplished in feng shui, and they can know a lot of things as long as they come over and take a general look. However, Lao Bao did not mention that there is an ancient tomb under the old residential area, and I am afraid that even the people of Yuxian have not been able to find it. ”

As she spoke, I saw a large outline emerge not far in front of her in the midst of the black air, and from the edge of the outline, it seemed to be an irregularly shaped boulder, but the upper half of the stone seemed to be deliberately cut off, showing a very flat top.

She also saw the thing, and she gently tugged at my arm and motioned for me to slow down.

We both kept our steps very light and slow, and we were extra careful with every step.

I thought that Yanan had deliberately asked me to slow down because I was worried that there was something troublesome hiding near the boulder, but when we were only two or three meters away from the boulder, Yanan suddenly sped up his pace.

When I came to the boulder, I asked me to take out a flashlight and light it up.

I took a flashlight to see clearly, this is an artificially carved iron mountain, the carving is very detailed, a little closer, you can find that there are many caves and rivers on the mountain, but the river channel is not depicted in the water flow, and the top of the whole mountain seems to be deliberately cut off, the iron mountain seems to be only half of the bottom.

Yan Yanan and I carefully examined it for a while, and said to myself, "Back to the Yin Mountain? ”

I turned my head to look at her: "What mountain?" ”

Yan Yanan clasped his hands: "Beiyin Mountain, this mountain is also called Xuwei Mountain in Dan Taoism, it is a pure yin and no yang place, the mountain does not grow grass, the peak does not insert the sky, the mountain does not visit, the cave does not accept clouds, and the stream does not flow." It is rumored that this mountain is the old gate of the Yin Cao Difu, and you can see the ghost gate pass when you climb over the mountain, but some people say that the back yin mountain is located in the deepest part of the Nine Hells, and the people who are imprisoned here are all fierce gods and ghosts who cannot be exceeded. ”

I asked her, "Is this statement credible?" ”

Yan Yanan shook his head: "No one alive has ever seen anything like the Netherworld, and no one has really seen this mountain, so I don't know how true or false these rumors are." ”

I straightened up and shot at the back of the Iron Mountain.

After the Iron Mountain, there was a large space shrouded in darkness, and the black smoke formed by the Yin Qi was scurrying around in it, irregular.

"If you go any further, you won't be able to tell the way." I said to Ya Nan.

Yan Yanan also looked ahead and said, "Yin Wind Barrier, this is the most common layout in the ancient tomb, let's just go in the direction where the Yin Qi is the strongest." ”

I took another look at the wind group in the dark, and found that there was a small area of yin wind with a lot of eddies, which indicated that there were several yin winds blowing there, and the yin wind gathered, which was naturally the place where the yin qi was most intense.

Yan Yanan took the flashlight from me and told me to walk in front, and she lit me up in the back.

I walked around the Iron Mountain towards the direction where the wind was converging, and I followed with a flashlight, and from time to time she let the beam of light sway and shine around me.

Under the light of the white beam, I found that there were many superficial carvings on the stone slabs used to pave the floor, and after hundreds of years of polishing, it was difficult to see the specific content of the reliefs, and I could only roughly distinguish that the faces of some kind of animals seemed to be carved on them, and the carvings on each stone brick seemed to be different.

The closer you get to where the wind gathers, the more the slate is corroded, and by the end, the carvings are gone, and all you can see is a large smooth stone face.

At this time, the beam of light shone directly in front of me, and the beam passed through the dense yin wind, illuminating a door twenty or thirty meters away.

The door was at least two stories high, with a slight metallic sheen on it, and some rust stains could be seen.

"It's a bronze ghost gate," Yan Yanan said behind me, "When the seventh master was archaeological in the Lingnan area in his early years, he once saw an identical one, and the top of that gate was also engraved with such a ghost head. ”

If it weren't for what she said, I would have thought that the relief at the top of the bronze door was just a large piece of rust, but now that the beam of light hit it straight, I could see that it was a baby-like face, with fleshy cheeks and forehead, but it had no eyes and no eye sockets, and two fangs protruding from its closed lower lip, but the corners of its mouth were slightly raised, as if it were laughing.

After seeing this ghost avatar clearly, I had an indescribable weird feeling in my heart.

I asked Yanan, "What's behind the door?" ”

Yan Yanan: "I don't know. In the ancient tomb that the Seventh Master found in Lingnan, there was only such a bronze ghost door, and there was a rock formation behind the door, and there was nothing. ”

I quickened my pace a little, came to the ghost door, raised my hand again, and tapped twice on the door.

Knock, knock – knock –

The knocking sound from the bronze ghost door was very hollow, and then there was a long echo.

The other side of the door should be a deeper space.

Yan Yanan: "Can you push it alone?" ”

I pressed my hands against the door panel, my feet on the ground, leaned my whole body, and pushed hard.

The rust on the door had already stuck to the ground, and when I pushed it hard, the patina on the ground shattered in large quantities, making a "click" noise, and the door panel also slid a small distance, opening up a gap that was only two fingers wide.

Surprisingly, a yellowish light came out of the crack in the door.

I leaned over to the crack in the door to take a look, but I couldn't see anything but the rays of light.

Yu Yanan also said in the back: "How can there be light, is it an everlasting lamp?" ”

I shook my head: "It shouldn't be, I heard the second master say that the everlasting lights in the tomb are usually white and green, and other colors are rare, and the everlasting lights can't shine for hundreds of years, and the longest burning can last for a year at best." ”

Yan Yanan: "You know more about this kind of thing than I do. ”

"Some time ago, the second master often told me about the experiences he had when he went to the tomb, and at that time I was thinking, maybe in the near future, I will also be like him in the past, three days and two catacombs, and half my life dealing with the things in the tomb."

As I spoke, I pressed my hands against the door again, took a long breath, and then used all my strength to slowly push the bronze door open.

The bronze door was surprisingly heavy, and the friction on the ground was so strong that I could only push open a gap more than half a meter wide with a breath in my chest, but it was enough for me and Yanan to get in.

Now the crack in the door is wider, and the view on the other side of the bronze door is clear.

As far as our eyes can see, there is a very dilapidated old house, this should be the legendary old Qingxiang No. 72, it was hit when it fell to the ground, the left half of the house has collapsed, but the right half is intact.

And the light that came through the crack in the door before also came from it.

Through the windows, we could see the light bulbs lit in the room, and even a table lamp standing outside the windowsill, which flickered on and off, and looked like it would go out at any moment.

The old house during the Republic of China has fallen deep into the ground again, why can the lights still be lit, and where does the electricity come from?

I glanced at him, who made a silencing gesture at me.

I shook my head and walked towards Lao Qingxiang No. 72, because the lights in front of me were bright, I interrupted the meditation technique, under the light, a few heavy shadows appeared around the old house, which looked like strange black trees.

But just now I've been paying attention to the black gas surging in the air, and they haven't been able to outline the shadows of the trees.

At this time, Yan Yanan quickly ran to me, grabbed my hand and said, "Be careful, there may be people in the house." ”

I could hear a hint of nervousness in the voice of the man.

I turned my head and smiled at her: "It's useless to be careful, there was such a big commotion when I pushed the door just now, if there were people in the house, they would definitely find us." I said, cousin, is it the first time you have gone to the grave, and you are nervous? ”

Yan Yanan said stiffly: "I'm not nervous, I'm worried." Anyway, you remember, I have more experience than you, and even if you're nervous, I won't be nervous. ”

Speaking of which, since this authenticity in me has been stimulated, I no longer have the slightest nervousness in the face of such inexplicable things, and at this time, my curiosity has become heavier than before.

But I didn't say anything more, just let Yan Yanan get closer to me, and then continued to walk towards the old house.

Yu Yanan said that the last time the Netherworld Tongbao appeared was at Lao Qingxiang No. 72, so I was thinking, maybe that ancient coin is still in it.

When I was about to walk to the door of the old house, a figure suddenly flashed in the window on the second floor, and the table lamp standing outside the window sill seemed to have been pushed by something, and it fell on the spot and shattered on the ground.

Yan Yanan grabbed me again, she looked at the broken lamp on the ground, and frowned tightly: "Something is wrong, the people in the house have made such a big noise, it seems that they want to lure you in, don't be fooled." ”

I broke free of the man's hand, quickly opened the door and rushed in.
