The old man was gone and never reappeared. Or rather, I never saw him again until I didn't exist in this world, but I believed in him. The days were very peaceful, he had been recuperating in the house, and he had not come out again, and sometimes even if he deliberately tried to test him at night, he was very reluctant to see me, but when he saw me, he didn't say anything, not even some rude words, but I felt more and more terrifying, as if once his injuries healed, I was going to be in great trouble, the feeling was very mysterious, I couldn't say clearly, finally, I decided not to wait any longer.

On a day when I was sure that he would not follow, I was alone, no one told me, and came to that big array again, of course, I was holding the box given by the old man in my hand, and the reason why no one told me was because I didn't know who else was his eyeliner by my side, he had been by my side for so many years, I am afraid that he had already cultivated a group of people to spy on me, which is why I think he seemed to know something, fortunately, most of the things I did very secretly, he just felt something, but it was not specific. I came to the cave again alone, this time I was very strange, it seemed that I went in without any effort, and the vision outside the cave did not appear again, the cave was a very ordinary and ordinary cave, I walked forward slowly, this time there was no more corpse lamp, no more attraction, nothing happened, I walked smoothly to the inside of the cave.

I wondered why it was so calm this time, but when I got to my destination, I suddenly understood something. What do I see? I didn't see the bloody coffin at the destination, I didn't see anything, there was only one coffin at the destination, and the coffin was exactly the same as what I had seen before, but this time there was no abnormal movement, and even some traces of dilapidation could be seen from it, showing that it had been eroded by the years. And when I tried to open the coffin, the suction appeared again, very suddenly, but this time I did not panic, but immediately took out the box given by the old man, and then I suddenly felt that the box did not wait for me to open it, it automatically flew up, and then the coffin began to vibrate violently, the vibration became stronger and stronger, more and more intense, and finally, all the red streams flew into the box from the inside of the coffin, and the whole passage became quiet, and fell into darkness.

I don't know how long it took, I reacted, fortunately I brought the prepared lighting, then I turned on the fire, only to find that I don't know when, the coffin calmed down, and there was no longer red blood on it, I looked closer, tried to lift the coffin, I was already old at that time, but the young man also often taught me some health skills, so the skills were okay, the coffin was unexpectedly opened by me, then I found that there was nothing inside. However, when I saw a big hand and a person in the coffin, where did I go now? Got put away by the box? It's impossible, the old man said, the box will only put away the bloody array, but it will not put away the contents inside, I believe the old man's words, but if this is not the case, then, where is the person who should have been lying in the coffin? Or, after I'm gone, it comes out on its own and walks away?

I was frightened by this idea of my own, but immediately thought about it, and felt that it was impossible, if he could climb out of the coffin by himself, and could overcome that formation by himself and run in, then why wait for me to come, he would have already run away, and suddenly, I thought of a possibility, thinking of the past, maybe, maybe the young man I took from this cave was not the person who should have been lying in this coffin? He's the one who was sealed, which can also explain why he is so murderous, and it can also explain why he is like this now, why he knows so many strange things, I don't know what he is, but obviously, he can no longer be considered a person in the normal sense, and from this point, it is just the opposite of the person who should have been lying in the coffin.

I carefully recalled everything I had experienced in the cave, and thought about everything I had escaped, and felt more and more that there was something strange in it, that he appeared so suddenly, that I didn't notice where he came from, that he was here, that he didn't deal with that, and that I didn't suspect anything because of the threat to my life, and now that I think about it, there were many things strange about that time, maybe it was all led by him, and the purpose was to escape, And in the years of escaping, he also seems very low-key, thinking of this, I understand that this time I have met a powerful opponent.

After thinking all of this, I did not stay any longer, but immediately returned, afraid that he would be suspicious again. I kept the box with me all the time, and I didn't let anyone around me find it. For fear that his recovery from his injuries would cause unnecessary trouble, I went to look for him on the night of my return. I was scared before I went to him, maybe he would do something terrible, but it was already like this, I had no way out, and I always felt like I knew that if I didn't do it, there would be no way to live at all, and with the ferocity of that thing, he wouldn't let me go.

That night, I went to the house where he lived, which was the ancestral house of our Bao family. He has been living in my old study, and when I came to the ancestral house, the light was not on, it was dark, and I wondered, was he not there all along? If so, then I might have to run for nothing today, but then I didn't think much about it, I just walked in, and even if he wasn't there, I wanted to see what the hell was going on. After I walked in, I lit the lamp inside, and came to the study where he lived, as expected, there was no one, I don't know where he went, in fact, I had never been here before, due to some inexplicable reasons, I have always held a respectful attitude towards him, so generally he came to take the initiative to find me, but I did not take the initiative to look for him, now it seems, what is he doing in this room? But it makes people very suspicious.

I saw that he was not there, and was about to retreat, when suddenly I heard a voice behind me, "You came to me so late, something?" ”

I was shocked, it turned out that he was standing behind me, I thought that my plan was discovered by him, but I didn't calm down, and said quietly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to come and see you, see your injuries"

He smiled and said, "You rarely come here, this is a rare guest, why did you come here today?" Since you're here, sit down, and if you don't come, I just want to go to you, I have something to tell you."

I thought it was not good, although he was looking at me and laughing, but I felt that there was a very cold expression in that smile, and I realized that things were not good, even if there was no today, I was probably not good, and I couldn't help but be glad that I had done before, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been able to fight back today.

"What are you going to say?" I smiled and sat down as if I was relaxed, and he sat down and poured me a cup of tea, and it looked like his injuries were almost healed, which was not the case when he first came.

"How many years have it been since I followed you out?" Instead of answering me directly, he seemed to ask rhetorically.

"Twenty-four years, twenty-four years have passed" I couldn't help but sigh, when I entered the ancient tomb, I was still a person who entered Beijing, but now I am a high-ranking official who is retired at home, and this life has passed really fast.

"Yes, it's been twenty-four years, time flies really fast, but twenty-four years is nothing to me, tell me, how have I treated you in the past twenty-four years?" He asked.

I don't know why he suddenly asked like this, but he said, "You, helped me a lot"

He smiled: "Yes, I helped you a lot, but you also helped me a lot, speaking of which, none of us owe anyone, you must be very strange, I haven't told you about my identity all these years, and you haven't asked, do you think it's strange?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's a little strange at first, but then it's not weird, why do you ask that?" ”

He looked at me, and he started laughing, and then he stopped laughing, and the expression on his face became very irritable, I had never seen him like this, and it made me feel very frightened, and he said, "No, you are lying, you are curious, you are very curious, if not, why did you go back to that cave?" ”

I almost cried out and said, "You, how do you know?" ”

He saw my reaction like this, and said: "I, I don't know, you told me, I just lied to you, I didn't expect it, you really went, you went out a few days ago, I guess you should have gone to that place, but I'm not sure, you, let me down too much"

It was only then that I realized that I had been fooled, but I immediately felt that I was still too relaxed with him, and that I had learned his wisdom over the years, and that I still hadn't been wary of him in my heart, otherwise this would not have happened. I said, "No, I just want to see something, nothing else", but I didn't even believe it when I said it.

"You're still lying to me, but now I don't want to explain too much to you, you can't change the ending if you're not curious", he looked at me coldly and said.
