I held the short knife handed over by Zhang Ye, and my heart settled down a little, and then I saw that the talisman on Zhang Ye's forehead had disappeared for some time, and I reached out and touched my forehead, but there was nothing left, and I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this He Xiaochen really seemed to have two hits.

Also, the red rope that was obviously tied to her waist just now was magically gone, but He Xiaochen said that the red rope was still there, which is really

"Hurry up, what are you thinking, and then the ghost will be taken away for you."

He Xiaochen turned around and called me in front, I hurriedly followed, Zhang Ye had already turned on the flashlight, and the surroundings suddenly became clearer.

I saw that the position we were in at this time turned out to be a huge road nearly ten meters wide, about twenty meters high, both sides and the ground were paved with black stone slabs, and a road led straight to the front, and the momentum was extremely magnificent.

Every few meters on both sides of the stone wall, there are two dim "ghost fires", look closely, it turns out to be a human-shaped lantern, all of them are more than half a person high, the face is hideous like a ghost, the hands are in front, do kneeling, the wick is just at the top of the human skull, it looks like a hideous ghost, watching us on both sides of this road.

We were in this netherworld, and we walked cautiously forward, but with each step, I was a little frightened, and I felt that I was completely walking towards the point of no return.

Zhang Ye's expression was stern, and he looked a little nervous, but He Xiaochen was still calm, looked at Zhang Ye, and said in a low voice: "How about Brother Ye, this time is different from any of your previous times, right?" ”

Zhang Ye snorted and said, "It's really different, this fucking doesn't even have to hit the hole, and you don't need to explore the hole, if there is any work next time, I have to bring you, light a stick of incense, and come in along the rope, it's too awesome." ”

He Xiaochen chuckled: "Don't be funny, it's not anywhere, you have to have someone to lead the way."

The two of them walked forward, chatting, looking at them as if I was shopping with He Xiaochen today, I looked at He Xiaochen and said, "Why is your heart so big, if this is really a netherworld, you can still laugh?" ”

He Xiaochen glanced at me and said, "If you don't laugh, am I still crying?" What's wrong with the underworld, that's the cycle of life, the place of rebirth, if I don't deserve to die, I can naturally go back, if this life is dead, then I can't escape, what are you afraid of? ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that her words did make sense, and then I was relieved. Yes, it is said that fate is determined by heaven, this is really true, not to mention anything else, a month ago, I was just a bitter advertising salesman, walking the streets and alleys every day, but who knew that now I would come to such a place inexplicably, the underworld, sometimes I think about it, I feel that this is simply an illusion, a nightmare that has lasted for a long time.

Zhang Ye snorted: "What's not life, it's all God's fooling things, my life is mine, if I don't want to die, see which little ghost can be dragged away, I'll poke it a hundred holes first." ”

We continue to walk forward, this corridor is very long, at the end of the can see the light of the lantern, there is a huge black shadow, it seems to be a gate, but the distance is too far to see, in our place, it looks like a ghost gate in a Hong Kong ghost movie.

I simply don't think about it so much, whether this is a real underworld or an underground tomb, in one sentence: I have to finish my own tomb with tears

This road is at least 100 meters away, the huge is amazing, we only walked forward more than ten meters, there is a grotto next to the road, the length and width are about three meters, it is full of ancient coins, there is a stone warrior statue more than three meters high next to the grotto, as if guarding the wealth in the grotto.

On both sides of the road, there are two such grottoes and statues every ten meters apart, two by two, roughly calculated, there are about more than 20 such grottoes, I can't help but be surprised, this is the Yin Cao Difu, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a huge ancient treasure cave.

"Lord Yama likes this too?" As I walked, I looked at the coins in my eyes and said, He Xiaochen squinted his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten that money can make ghosts grind?" ”

I also laughed: "These copper coins, it is estimated that they can only be pushed by the little ghost, if you want to let the Lord of Yama make a move, it must be gold ingots." ”

Zhang Ye said on the side: "I'm afraid that the gold ingots may not work, this is just a peripheral road, go inside, maybe there will be something." ”

We're not interested in these ancient coins, this thing can't be spent, and even if it's an ancient coin, it's not worth much, I know this, in the Peach Blossom Lane antique market, this thing grabs a lot of money.

So we didn't stop long, and soon passed through the long corridor and came to a tall stone gate.

This stone gate is black all over, more than five meters high, more than four meters wide, extremely heavy, carved with strange patterns on it, standing in front of the stone gate and looking up, people suddenly have the idea of being small. On each side of the door is a strangely shaped monster statue, with its feet on the flames and its head raised and hissing, which is extremely hideous.

But this stone gate is tightly closed, Zhang Ye stepped forward and tried to push the capacity twice, shook his head and said: "This stone gate is afraid that there are more than 10,000 catties, and non-human beings can open it, everyone look for it, there is any mechanism." ”

"Is there still an organ in the Netherworld?" I wondered, Zhang Ye paused, and said, "Let's look for it, who knows, there must be no organ in the Netherworld?" ”

A few of us were blocked by this huge stone gate, so we had to look for the mechanism on both sides, but after looking for a long time, in addition to this stone gate, and those cave statues, there was no suspicious place, Zhang Ye and He Xiaochen were both veterans for many years, knocking and knocking everywhere, listening to the sound and identifying the position, and they were busy for a long time, but they found nothing.

I wondered, and when I finally returned to the stone gate, I became interested in the two monster statues, because I found that the images of these two monsters were something I had never seen before.

Ancient China has a relatively complete set of mythological systems, for all kinds of mythical beasts, a classic of mountains and seas has almost covered most of them, I usually like to study these things, and I have read a lot of classical books, but these two monsters in front of me, I swear I have never seen them.

These two monsters have a body like a dragon, a head like a lion, horns like a deer, a neck like a snake, eyes like a rabbit, a nose like a dog, claws like a tiger, and a tail like a cow.

He Xiaochen also came over to check, I glanced back at her, and said, "I've never seen these two, you guys are well-informed, come and see?" ”

"This is the alien beast that guards the Yin Division?" He Xiaochen didn't seem to know each other, and said guessingly, I was speechless: "Of course it's a strange beast, do you still need to guess, I mean, will there be anything strange about these two strange beasts?" ”

At this time, we checked the surroundings, and found no organs, only these two statues did not look, Zhang Ye stepped forward, circled around the two statues for a long time, frowned, and said: "This statue seems to be nothing, is it true that this stone gate is not for people to enter?" ”

I think of those Yin soldiers just now, there is only a straight road here, leading to this gate, if those Yin soldiers also walked into the stone gate, then I am afraid that it is really as he said, this stone gate cannot be opened at all, because this may not be for people to go at all.

"You see, this statue seems to have words on it." He Xiaochen said suddenly, and we looked at the place she said together, and saw that under the necks of the two monster statues, there were indeed two large characters engraved with some vague characters.

Under the illumination of the strong flashlight, we saw the two words clearly, these are two ancient seal characters, the monster on the right under the neck, engraved with a "void", and the monster on the left of the same part, carved a "delusion", connected to the word "delusion".

We stood in front of this huge gate, looking at these two words, a little confused for a while, these seemingly simple two words, in the here and now, but seem to contain extremely profound Zen, and the world avenue.

For these two words, the average person may not understand much, but I grew up in the big temple, although I only know how to play, but the back of the scriptures is quite familiar, I saw the word "vain", and suddenly remembered a sentence that was said.

"All appearances are vain."

I remember that when the master was lecturing on the scriptures, he said that the word vanity can be said to be the fundamental principle of Buddhism, which means that all the aspects of a qiē must be regarded as false, and as long as you do not cling to it, you will be able to produce great wisdom.

This still seems to be a little difficult to understand, in my way of understanding is that everything in the world is actually people through the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, and meaning, these six senses to feel the objective existence of zài, regard all things as illusory, then all things are false and have never existed, the so-called everything is empty, and a qiē phase is an illusory phase, an illusion, an illusion.

Then, as long as you realize this and understand that everything in the world is false, you will naturally not be troubled by it, and you will not be troubled, and then the wisdom of the Buddha will appear.

"False, vain, vain, vain, everything in the world is vain" I muttered in a low voice, both of them looked at me inexplicably, I stared at the qiē in front of me, my heart suddenly brightened, clapped my hands and said: "I understand, this stone gate barrier, in fact, is the human heart as an obstacle, we don't have to bother to find any mechanism, the idea is to try to open the stone door, because this qiē is false, as long as you have no obstacle in your heart, the stone gate, there is no zài at all!" ”

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt a little excited in my heart, the scriptures that I had read when I was more than ten years old, only at this moment, did I have a trace of enlightenment, vanity, vain, it turns out that these two words are the source of a qiē troubles in the world.

He Xiaochen didn't understand what I meant, and said in a daze: "You, what are you talking about?" ”

I looked at her with a smile, stretched out my hand and patted the two characters on each of the two statues, and said, "I mean, all the problems lie in these two words, as long as you unravel these two words, it is the key to open the stone door, and this door is probably a false door." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard an extremely dull vibration from the huge stone door behind me, and the stone door, which had been closed just now, slowly opened a gap
