XIV. The sound of bells

I sorted things out from the beginning, and then told Asuke again from beginning to end, yes, I remember, Liqu Abu's hand was a yellowed notebook, and I don't know where he got it, he is a very low-key person, and he doesn't talk to anyone about his secrets and his story since he was sensible, and it stands to reason that we can't inquire about other people's secrets, but you know what? When a man was 17 years old, he disappeared for a full year and 1 month before returning to the village, can we not be in a hurry?

"Missing? Can you tell me about this Liqu Abu, you can say anything you know. "I think the scene before this was a real hallucination, the door that was opened in the basement and the figure leaving," and I wonder who he was in contact with? ”

"What do you need to know about this?"

"I wonder what he's looking for? Obviously, this is not what I told you before, but the two books mentioned in my hallucination are the accounts of two different people, one of them is on the ghost island abroad, and the other is in the Guge Dynasty in the Gobi Desert in China. I don't know what they have in common, but I'm sure that Riqu Abu is also looking for a relic to exist. ”

"So what do you want to know?" Asuke said to me, "Why don't you go directly to his house, we haven't been to his house since he and his master Duo disappeared, and the contents are still there, if he doesn't have time to take the contents away, what else can you find?" ”

I thought about it, it would be too vague if I simply looked for clues from the people who had come into contact with him, and the number of characters was too large, so it would be undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, and I didn't think I had much time to waste, but I always felt that this person had something to do with me or that I had seen him there?

Gut feeling? I think it's a little ridiculous, I'm a person who doesn't even remember myself, what kind of intuition do I have, I quickly dispelled my thoughts and decided to go back the same way with Asuke, and now that I have a goal, I don't care what it is? It's okay to chase it, after all, my blank life has been sprinkled with traces for the first time.

But before I could come up with the idea of turning back, suddenly I heard a crisp ringtone, Ding Ling Ding Ling, Ding Ling Ding Ling, Ding Ling Ding Ling, in the darkness I almost raised my heart to my throat, and the bell continued, as if something in the air above was gently shaking them, "Is it the wind?" "I looked at the door where we had entered, fearing that the hallucinations of the land of Najaba would permeate the place again, and Asuke had closed the door when he entered.

"Is there a vent in there?" Asuke looked up with a flashlight, and there was nothing in the pitch black, only the sound that seemed to be there, and my scalp tingled for a while, and my back was cold, "What's that?" "Asuke asked me suddenly, but I didn't know so much about this place, and I couldn't think about it at all, only the endless chill in my heart.

"Calm down, calm down." I said to myself that there were no ghosts or gods in this world, and I tried not to let myself be affected, but the sound in the darkness still stimulated me for a while.

"Woo." People say that disasters do not go alone, I haven't experienced anything before, but now I suddenly realized, I felt terrible enough when these bells shook inexplicably, but this next woman's cry came I couldn't hold it and collapsed.

"There's someone in this place." Instead, Asuke stepped forward, and someone must have pulled the bells somewhere.

"No, no, how can there be a woman here." I withdrew my flashlight and began to flinch a little.

"How can you get scared when you encounter ghosts and gods or something." Aisuke grabbed my wrist and grabbed it fiercely, "Even if we worship gods and believe in ghosts, we won't believe that there are ghosts or anything like this temple." Besides, you don't remember pulling? There was a woman in the group we were out there before. ”

Countless images flashed through my mind, I seemed to see it, but I couldn't see it, everything stayed in my mind for only a few seconds, and then it all flew away, stairs, rooms, murals, masks, people, ghosts, little things, churning in my head, crying? So familiar? A voice in my heart said to me, "I remember that cry! "Suddenly, the picture in my head froze, and although I was not sure, I could still be sure.

"What?" Asuke was also stunned, this may be an unrealistic thing for him, why did I meet an acquaintance here? Or am I, a man of unknown origin, in league with them? I watched his horrified expression, but I didn't think I had much time left when he said that.

"I seem to remember something, and I must have heard such cries everywhere." I looked at Asuke and said to him, "If you believe me, you can go with me, if you don't believe me, you can knock me out and take me away, you know, no matter what I used to do and who I was with, now I don't know anything, I just want to know who I am?" I said to him slowly, "If I don't even have the right to find why I live, why am I still living in this world?" Why did that person named Yang Shizhong save me? ”

"Me." When Asuke said this, he was stunned.

I saw that he seemed to be a little shaken, and he also wanted to see what was going on, but he was dazed by my attitude, I took his hand directly, and ran quickly to the back of the idol, where is there a passage, I don't know where it leads, this is what I saw before, but now I look, only to find that this passage originally had a door, and this door is still open.

"Somebody has been in here, it's the person I know, and she knows who I am? Where am I from? Why do I keep wearing this mask that I can never take off. I roared madly in my heart, the truth of everything is not far in front of me.

The passage is pitch black, with the light of our flashlight, the pale wall slowly emerges, on both sides of the passage is a large number of Yi murals, most of them depict myths and legends, I don't have the heart to care so much, just keep running towards the front, soon after there was a forked road in front of me, I and Ah Zhu stopped, each to a forked two intersections walked more than ten meters, and finally retreated, shook his head, did not find any clues, it stands to reason that this is impossible? How can there be a void here? And there is no need to prevent anything, so what is the necessity of the existence of this channel?

"I think we're still going a little bit further apart, but no matter how far it is, we have to be back in five minutes, no matter what happened to you?" I said to Asuke, now that this is a non-reluctant, I said to Asuke, "Let's find the problem as much as possible and turn back, this place is not familiar with each other, it is easy to have an accident in it, and looking at the appearance of this fork, maybe it is a maze inside, maybe I, even if it is me, meet someone who sees me in front, I will come back." I patted my chest and said.

"Forget it." Ah Zhu waved his hand at me, "Don't come to this kind of sensational speech, you people in the city will be more deceitful than the other, no wonder the most beautiful girls in our village were abducted by you." ”

"Me."

"So be it. If you find something, just go, I won't be able to see you in 5 minutes anyway, and I'll be walking in your passageway. "Asuke didn't give me any chance to quibble, as if I had nailed the title of a liar in his heart, or if I had deceived his little daughter.

"Okay, okay." I touched my bronze forehead, as if I felt a cold sweat already running down my cheeks, "Then I'll go first." "I don't talk to him much, time is precious, I know that.

Then he and I walked in the opposite passage for about 5 minutes, he was on the left, I was on the right, but I found nothing, I looked at the endless darkness in front of me, or retreated, because we were all walking, and did not run, so when I came back, he had already reached the fork in the road, we reported the situation to each other, and I found that the distance on Asuke's side was not the same as mine, what was the difference? It's that the passage he walked through was a state of inward curving, and mine was a straight avenue, and after thinking about it, we agreed that it was a road that meandered up to the caves where the corpses had been hid by the ages, and it was obvious that first of all, it was impossible for those trees to climb up to the places where they had their respective long resting, and then the tunnel was going in the opposite direction, and then you just had to think of a rough route model in your mind to get the answer.

"And what do you think?" Asuke asked.

"I don't think we need to go to those burrows, do we? I wanted to see what was in the depths, and I didn't believe those people were there to hide the corpses. "I told him exactly what I thought, and I just walked forward." ”

"But I don't think so, I think their purpose is the things on those Duo Qi, you must know that each Duo Qi has a thing that symbolizes the surname, this kind of thing, maybe gold, maybe jade, but this thing must be unique and can represent their identity." Asuke said slowly.

But I don't think so, knowing that there are valuable things everywhere, and I always feel that the purpose of those people must not be money, but to argue that something they want to know is like that Richu Abu. "Then we'll check it out when we get back, if you want to." I ignored him and walked straight into the depths of the passage I was walking through.

"Wait." I had just taken a step or two when Asuke caught up with me and grabbed my clothes, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"What?" I was about to speak, when suddenly I heard something in my ear, "Are those bells?" "Even though we're running a little bit now, there must be a lot of ringing like that of so many bells if they swing at the same time, so I heard it.

"What's going on?"

"It can't be human." I interrupted him by yelling, "If it were a human being, he must have a purpose, and what value can those bells have?" Where is his purpose? ”

"Is it really a ghost?"

"It's a ghost, and there's no way to do it." I gritted my teeth and we had no way back, the sound of the bell over there suddenly stopped as I spoke, it was the kind of sudden, definitely not a slow little bit of sound disappeared, now it was as if there was a cover that cut me off from the outside world, all the sound sources were gone, Ah Zhu and I looked at each other with some fear, but most of them still couldn't believe it, because this thing was completely beyond the scope of our science, not to mention that I didn't believe that there would be a person running up and ringing the bell in such a short period of time. "The bells are used to drive away the soul in the Yi people's flowers, and they tie the bells to the pole and shake them vigorously when the ancestors migrated to their place of return, which is to inform the lonely souls and wild ghosts not to get in the way, and in the sacrifice, it also represents the meaning of communication with the soul." At this time, Asuke said to me, "Do you think it really has a soul?" ”

"Perhaps? But what else can we do? My voice was getting quieter and quieter, as I heard another voice come out after the sound of the bell was gone, and the sound was getting closer, closer and closer, and with a snap I grabbed the source of the sound.
