Is there a house on this bare mound mountain? Was it naturally formed or built at a later stage? Is it for the mountain keepers or for the so-called monsters?

I had a lot of questions going through my mind and decided to take a look.

When I got closer, I realized that the house was also a stone house, and there was no trace of artificial masonry on the outer walls. But the house is square, and it doesn't look like it's carved out of nature at all.

The door of the stone house was a wooden door, and it was now closed, and it was not locked. I walked to the door and hesitated to reach out to knock.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? At that moment, an old, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind me, startling me.

When I turned around, I saw an old man in a straw hat standing behind me. The brim of the old man's hat was pressed low to cover his entire face, and the cloak was so long that it enveloped him almost all over his body.

I couldn't see his eyes, but I was sure he was looking at me.

"I ...... I'm just a soy sauce guy! I saw that there were two houses here, so I came over to check them out! I smiled and returned.

"What are you doing in Tsukayama?" The old man continued.

"I just saw the strange shape of the mound mountain, and I heard that there were monsters on this mountain, so I was curious for a while, so I came up to take a look!" I said in amazement.

"Odd looks? Got monsters? The old man sneered and said, "Since you have finished reading it, please leave quickly." This mound is not the place you should be! ”

"That ......" I suddenly realized that I had overlooked one important thing, and that was - didn't the ghosts and ghosts of the underworld see me? Why was this strange old man in front of me able to see me?

"This old man, why can you see me?" I asked tentatively.

The old man laughed and said, "In Tsukasan, there are no ghosts that can be invisible!" At this, the old man walked a few steps towards me, and then said in amazement, "It's a living soul!" ”

"Humph! Soul into the underworld, it seems that you think your yang life is too long! If you dare to come to Tsukayama after breaking into the underworld, do you think you have too much yin longevity! The old man looked me up and down and said coldly.

Although the old man was sarcastic about me, I did not feel his malice. I laughed wryly, not knowing how to answer.

"If the soul leaves the body for seven days and does not return to the soul, the body will be exhausted. Living souls will become dead souls, and I think you should be away from your body for five days! If you don't hurry back to the sun, you even came to my mound mountain to wander around, it's really an electric light in the pit! The old man glanced at me, walked around me and gently pushed the door open.

The room lit up instantly, and I followed the old man into the house. A blue lantern was found hanging in the center of the room, and the word "Shou" was written on the lantern. This...... It turned out to be a soul-attracting lamp.

I looked at the old man in astonishment, but the old man did not look at me, and took out a long broom from a corner of the house.

I followed closely behind the old man, and the old man could see me, and he could know that I had been away for a few days, and that I must have been a high-ranking person. He is on this mound mountain again, maybe he knows another way to the yang world!

A few meters after walking out of the house, the old man suddenly picked up a broom and swept it under my feet, and I quickly dodged it with a vertical jump. But as soon as my feet hit the ground, the old man's broom swept over me again, and I had to jump up again to avoid it.

When I landed again, the old man's broom swept over me again, and this time I had to jump forward more than a meter and jump out of the broom's attack circle.

"Uncle, are you the old man guarding the mountain in this mound mountain?" The old man wouldn't sweep me with a broom for no reason, so I decided to gossip with him first and then ask him if he knew any other passage to the yang world.

The old man did not answer, and there was no pause in the sweeping movement of his hands.

"Uncle, are you the guardian of Tsukayama?" Seeing that the old man did not respond, I raised my voice again and asked loudly.

The old man still didn't squeak, and I bent down suspiciously to see the old man's expression. But just as I was bending down, the old man, who was still nearly two meters away from me, suddenly came to me.

He didn't speak, but the broom in his hand swept straight at me. I rolled over and dodged.

The old man's broom swept at me quickly, and I quickly flipped over a few times before I could avoid the old man's attack.

"Old man......" I called the old man suspiciously, not understanding why he suddenly attacked me.

The old man raised his head slightly, as if to look at me. Then he lowered his head and slowly swept the ground with a broom.

Now I understood that the old man had just attacked me because I had angered him by bending down to see his face. I didn't dare to make any more moves, and I understood that he wouldn't pay attention to anything I told the old man when he was sweeping the floor. I had to stand on the sidelines, trying to avoid the attack circle of his broomstick.

In this way, the old man swept the floor slowly, and only after he had finished sweeping the ground in front of the house did he take the broom and go back.

"Uncle, you've been on this mound mountain for many years, haven't you?" I asked, following the old man.

"I've been in this mound mountain since I came to the underworld!" Although the old man replied, he did not answer my question.

"I've heard that how many people die in the sun, how many graves there will be in this mound mountain! After those ghosts are reincarnated and die, will there be another tomb on this mound mountain? I decided to start with the questions he was familiar with.

"Yes!" The old man simply returned.

"What about those who die and are gone? Will there be a grave on this mound when they die? ”

"Yes!"

"Isn't that how young it is, and this mound mountain will get bigger and bigger. In a few years, the entire underworld will become a mound mountain? ”

"All things are endless, and the underworld is immortal! The mound mountain is growing, and the underground government is expanding! Even if it is another 10,000 years, Tsukayama is still only a small part of the underworld! There was a hint of sigh in the old man's tone.

Is he lamenting that no matter how big the mound mountain is, it can't be bigger than the underworld?

"That's right, everything in heaven and earth has a primary and secondary subordination!" I nodded, echoing the old man's words.

"You're coming to the underworld to find your soul!" The old man turned to look at me and said in a sudden affirmative.

I looked at the old man in amazement, wondering why he knew the purpose of my visit.

The old man turned his head to the side, and said leisurely: "You have three souls, and you are missing one of the seven souls, if you can't find it, you are one soul and one soul, and Yang Shou is only twenty-four." Even if you find your soul and soul, your life will only be twenty-four. Anyway, sooner or later, you won't live to live twenty-four, and dying now and dying in the future are dead, since you have come to Tsukayama, then stay here! ”

The old man's tone was calm, and I was immediately shocked, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart. I immediately turned around and tried to run, but the old man grabbed me by the shoulder. Before I could react, he threw me into a coffin.

"Coax!" All I felt was that it was dark in front of me, and the coffin was already covered with a black lid.
