21, Huangquan Ghost Road

It was not easy to get to the bottom of the pit, and it was really difficult to rely on Qiao Wei and me, so I asked Miko which of the employees in the hotel were living people and which were ghosts.

Miko said that the employees of the hotel are all living people, but this place is directly above the ghost gate, and the living people stay here for too long and have too much contact with ghosts, and the three spirits and seven spirits will more or less wander out of their bodies, and only in this way can they calmly deal with this place where ghosts are rampant without being scared to death.

Miko's answer surprised me, and it also explained the origin of the strange situation in the inn.

Although she didn't explain the fact that she couldn't see the yin qi, I could more or less figure out the reason for it, just like the location of the river estuary where fresh water and sea water would mix together, the yin and yang breath here was also completely mixed together, forming a new yin and yang environment, in which people and ghosts were mixed, and yin and yang were reversed and chaotic, so experts like Qiao Wei couldn't distinguish between people and ghosts.

Of course, there are also special beings like the ancestors in Wu Laoer's mouth, and the dried corpses in the hot spring poolβ€”they can be seen at a glance that they are not alive at all.

Now that I've made sure that the staff at the hotel are alive, I can ask them for help without any worries.

I chose two guys who seemed to be more honest and obedient, and they only needed to show them the criminal police consultant card, and they obediently came over to help, and they didn't ask the reason at all.

In Wu Laoer's hut, we found an old scaffolding, through which we could lower people to the bottom of the pit.

We installed the scaffolding at the edge of the big pit, prepared the lighting tools, and then Qiao Wei began to use the scaffolding to set off under the pit.

The pit is indeed deep enough, it is estimated that it is at least twenty or thirty meters, but it is not as exaggerated as Sun Jieting said before that it takes ten minutes to go down.

"I'm at the bottom of the pit and I've seen bones!" Qiao Wei's voice quickly came up from below, and it was heard very clearly.

He worked down there for a moment, then shouted, "Pull up!" ”

We immediately turned the scaffolding on it, and soon a basket of broken bones was being dragged up. The bones were not complete, and I could clearly see the marks of serrated cuts from the cross-section of the bones, so it can be concluded that the deceased was killed and then dismembered.

I pointed to the basket and asked Miko, "This ...... It's you? ”

Miko stared at the bones in the basket and nodded silently.

"If you were asked to do it all over again now, would you still choose to come to China with Wu Peng?" I asked.

Miko glanced up at me, then smiled and said, "No, but I'll try to keep him, the time with him was really good, and if I do it all over again, I hope to create the perfect ending for me and him." ”

It is said that women are animals who live for love and die for love, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. I didn't comment on her choice, but asked her what she wanted us to do with Wu Lao Er next, and I told her the truth that it would be difficult to convict him with these bones alone, unless he confessed everything.

Meizi didn't bother with whether to punish Wu Lao Er through the law, she just hoped that Wu Lao Er could look at her squarely and say what he really thought in his heart.

It shouldn't be hard to do, and I should be able to get it back quickly if I put something on Miko.

Qiao Wei stayed in the big pit for more than twenty minutes, and then shouted from inside: "Find me something pure iron or pure copper, and add some alcohol and salt." ”

I quickly asked the hotel workers to look for it, and soon they also brought what Qiao Wei needed and put it at the bottom of the pit.

For about fifteen minutes, I saw all sorts of strange scenes. First, a group of footless half-body ghosts in a trance came to the edge of the pit and jumped down; Then the corpses in bathrobes appeared around us, and they also jumped into the pit; zuihou are the ancestors of those Wu Lao Er who had surrounded Qiao Wei and me before.

I could hear the constant cries and screams coming from the bottom of the pit, and I could also see strings of fire, and then Qiao Wei shouted "I'm fine, it's going well" from time to time.

When I got to Zuihou, the crying and the firelight were all gone, I don't know if it was my delusion, but I felt that the light around me seemed to be swallowed up a lot by the big pit, because it was obviously much darker in all directions.

Qiao Wei shook the rope that hung to the bottom of the well and shouted, "It's sealed, pull me up." ”

I also hurriedly dragged Qiao Wei up with the other two hotel workers who were helping. After coming out, Qiao Wei immediately looked at Meizi, and then he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally normal." ”

There is no need to ask, now Miko's Zhou body must be full of yin and ghost energy, and Qiao Wei's eyes can finally catch them.

Qiao Wei told me that the bottom of the pit was 100% where the ghost gate was, but when the pit was first dug out, it must have been much deeper than it is now, and judging from the wetness of the soil and rocks at the bottom of the pit, there was indeed water gushing up, but it was definitely not a natural hot spring, but a yellow spring water separated from the underworld.

Wu Lao Er mistakenly took the Yellow Spring as a hot spring, and pumped all the water up, and as a result, the ghosts of the Difu who drank the Yellow Spring Water also came up from this deep well that led directly to the Yang Realm, and went to the hot spring baths to "bathe".

However, in the later stage, Wu Lao Er obviously blocked this yellow spring, so the ghost gate was not wide open, but only half opened, which is also an important reason why Qiao Wei can completely seal this ghost gate independently. As for Wu Lao Erweishenme's ability to seal this yellow spring, I think it is mostly related to the "ancestors" in his mouth.

In order to solve all the mysteries, and to fulfill my promise to Meizi, Qiao Wei and I then took Meizi to meet Wu Lao Er, who was tied to the bed by the two of us.

Qiao Wei's sealing of the ghost door also seemed to make Wu Lao Er sense something, he no longer struggled desperately on the bed as before, but lay there quietly, as if waiting for death. The two of us went over to untie the rope on Wu Laoer's body, and helped him up to sit down, in the process he was like a puppet at the mercy of the two of us, without the slightest intention of resisting.

After he sat down on the edge of the bed, I also asked Miko to come over and stand in front of Wu Lao Er and ask her everything she wanted to ask.

"Wu Peng, do you have something to say to me?" Miko asked calmly.

Wu Laoer's whole body was excited, and then he slowly raised his head, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he opened his mouth several times in succession, but he never spit out half a word.

I'm a little anxious to see this situation, if he can't satisfy Miko, I may never get back what I mortgaged to Miko! I was just about to go over and threaten Wu Lao Er with force, but Qiao Wei grabbed me and said, "You should wear glasses and take a look." ”

The cabin was not far from the guest room, so I quickly ran back and pulled out my glasses and put them on. Through the vision glasses, everything in front of me changed in an instant, the whole room, corridors, the ground, and the air were filled with gray mist, which also reminded me of the scene I saw when I was trapped in the underworld, and when I came to the hut again, I immediately understood the reason why Qiao Wei stopped me from using violence.

It's not that Wu Lao Er doesn't want to speak, but he can't speak.

I could see clearly through the glasses that his face was festering beyond human shape, his jaw was completely rotten, and his tongue was gone. He was so thin that he was left with only a layer of skin, and it felt like he was already crumbling just sitting there. Beside him sat two translucent, pale yellow fuzzy figures, as if they were the other two Wu Lao'er.

Qiao Wei whispered to me on the side: "His three souls and seven spirits have been completely reversed, and now the seven souls are basically gone, and the heavenly soul and earth soul are about to be separated, in short, he won't live long." ”

I have seen what Wu Laoer's ancestors did to him, and through the past stories told by Sun Jieting, Meizi's death and the opening of the ghost gate are also inevitably related to the "ancestors". Perhaps the ancestors couldn't stand the insult that Wu Lao Er brought to the family, so they borrowed Wu Lao Er's hand to open a door to the yang world, and taught this offspring who did not seek to be motivated.

Of course, these are just my guesses, and I can't get any information from Wu Lao Er, but Miko still told me a pretty good news.

She said that no one had disappeared from the hotel, but that they had not left intact either, as everyone had left a part of themselves here, like the "corpse" of the mad monkey that had disappeared as a sacrifice.
