The lid was finally closed, and the sound was gone. But to our ears, it seemed as if the voice was still ringing in the air.

At this point, we can't do anything but tremble.

Li Yang pulled off the gas mask and threw it aside, his head and face covered with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water tank. He leaned against the pillar, gasping for air, closing his eyes, looking tired.

It took a long time before the copper lock asked, "Where did those sounds come from?" ”

"Hell." I say.

"That sound can only exist in hell." Li Yang wiped his sweat: "If you listen to it again, I'm afraid I'll go crazy." ”

"Shall we go back?" I say.

"Rest first." Copper lock sat on the ground: "I can't walk a step, I just want to sleep." ”

Li Yang struggled to stand up: "Don't sleep here, I want to sleep back to sleep." So saying, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground.

Not to mention me, it's like a plague chicken at this time. The three of us sat in a circle with our backs against a pillar.

The hall was quiet, the copper lock pushed the flashlight switch back and forth in a daze, and the big tripod opposite him appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow.

"Are you afraid of death?" He asked suddenly.

"Whether you're scared or not, you have to face it." Li Yang said.

"What about you? Lao Liu. "Copperlock asked me.

"Not so scared." I said, "I have failed in this life, and I don't feel a loss when I die, and I even have the hope of starting over again in the next life." ”

"That's a negative idea. If you don't work hard, even if you are reincarnated in the tenth life, you have to ask for food. Li Yang said.

"The small rich are thrifty, and the big rich are from the sky. Brother, I know the destiny of heaven now. I said.

Copper lock suddenly said: "If there is really a next life, I don't plan to be a human being." ”

"You're not going to be a man, you're going to be a beast?" Li Yang ridiculed him.

"You don't deserve to talk to me in this realm. What do you have to do for it? There is really a next life, I will die directly, without worry, in the realm of emptiness. Copper Lock said.

I laughed, "It's not easy to be silent. That is called jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. Only when you cultivate to the level of immortals can you do it. Like us, it's not bad not to be lonely souls and wild ghosts, and honestly wait for the reincarnation arranged by Lord Yama. If you have a good fate, you will go to the provincial party secretary's house to be a big boy, and if you have a bad fate, you will be sent directly to the poor ravine cancer village, and you will be born with ascites and a big belly, and your bare butt will run all over the village. ”

"Why should I not mix in China in the next life, and I can't go to a European country like Switzerland and Norway. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is fresh, and the paradise is the same, as soon as you land in the bank, you will open an account, and the country will pay money every month, and you will have to play in this life. Copper Lock said.

Li Yang smiled: "With your virtue, you still want to be reincarnated in Switzerland, and the previous life that you want to go to that place must be a good person of the tenth generation." If you go to nightclubs every day and be a groom every night, if nothing else, the obscenity will be eliminated for you. ”

"I'm in free love, you love me. Lord Yama also has to be reasonable. Copperlock retorted.

The two of them are like talking cross talk, you and I say a word, I listen to the secret laughter, and the sense of fear is also eliminated a lot. I leaned against the pillar and found a comfortable position, my eyelids sank for a while, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

Not to mention, I slept quite soundly. I haven't felt like I've been asleep for a long time, and I usually have poor sleep quality. Here today, it's surprisingly sweet.

was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu." ”

I groaned, rolled over and went back to sleep, but I lost my balance and lay on the ground. I was shocked and woke up immediately. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw Li Yang and Tong Suo standing against the pillar, looking at something stupidly.

I got up from the ground and leaned over: "What are you looking at?" ”

When I saw it, I was dumbfounded.

I saw that the apse projected a bright pattern, and this pattern was a huge gossip, falling on the bluestone slab. It's not static, it's slowly turning. Especially the Taiji fish in the middle, black and white changes, complementing each other, staring at it for a long time, there is a very fantastic feeling.

There's something in the apse!

Perhaps this gossip pattern is very bright and extraordinary, so that we don't know how to be afraid at all. Scrambled to run to the apse.

Going around from the side and into the main hall at the back, we were all stunned.

This great temple is very large, with four red pillars at the four corners, and gray stone slabs on the ground. Raising his head, the beams in the air are staggered, the dense eaves are wide, and at the top of the highest view is actually a huge gossip skylight.

The light from above shines through the skylight, revealing an unpredictable and ever-changing gossip map on the ground. The whole hall is also set off brightly, without any haze.

There are many statues on both sides of the main hall, there are arhats, gods, monsters, men, women, old and young, there are dozens of people.

What's weird is that each of these statues is life-size, lifelike in appearance, and the clothes on their bodies are very exquisite, looking like big living people.

There was no need for a flashlight here, and we walked slowly forward from the end of the hall.

"Good boy, this is made of wax, right?" Copper Lock looked at a fairy statue in front of him and said.

This immortal is a white-bearded old man, wearing the court clothes of an unknown dynasty, looking ahead with a smile. Yellow skin, black eyes, white hair and white beard, the demeanor is vivid, even a fool can see, this is a wax figure.

Ordinary clay tire wood plastic can not reach such a expressive level.

The shape of this old fairy is quite gentle, and there are some evil ghost images in the statue, with a ghost-faced human body, unkempt hair, a big mouth, a red tongue dragged down and an old man, with teeth and claws, as if to pounce.

Walking in it, you can't help but feel eerie cold.

I said, "This ghost place reminds me of the uncanny valley theory of the Japanese." ”

"What is Uncanny Valley?" Copper Lock asked.

"When a robot is more than 95% similar to a human, even the slightest difference between it and a human can feel very stiff and scary. The most common props you see in horror movies are wax figures and rag dolls. The use is the personification of non-human objects. ”

Copper Lock sighed: "Don't say it, I feel chills all over my body what you say." ”

At this time, Li Yang said "Huh",

At this time, Li Yang said "Huh": "Look." ”

On both sides of the back of the main hall are huge black curtains that droop from the roof to the ground. The curtain was thick and thick, and many strange patterns were painted on it, which looked like stick figure grimaces. On the oblong, somewhat distorted face, there are three black holes in the eyes and mouth, as if screaming. These grimaces, one by one, are densely packed with countless faces.

When we came to the curtain, Li Yang stretched out his hand to pick it up, there was still a lot of space inside, but it was dark and not in the middle of winter, and we couldn't see anything.

He turned on his flashlight and shone it on, and the scene inside was solid and surprised us.

It was empty, except that in the middle of the ground there was an ancient well. The edge of the well is very high, made of blue bricks, and a lot of writing is smeared with red dye on the outside. The characters are arranged irregularly and vary in size, and they should be Chinese characters from the point of view of structure, but they are not recognizable when you read them closely.

These words are written all over the wall of the well, and it looks like a very strong visual impact, very evil, like a talisman.

We looked at each other and hesitated, but Li Yang took the lead and walked in. The Copper Lock and I followed.

When I came to the well, I found that there were many yellow charms scattered on the ground, each of which had the length of the diameter of the wellhead, and it looked like it should have sealed the well, and I don't know who tore it off.

Lying at the mouth of the well and looking down, it was dark and bottomless. This blackness, to be described, is a kind of empty pitch blackness, as if there is a huge cavity under the well.

But is it possible?

We are now in the hidden mezzanine between the 21st floor of the building and the rooftop, and according to normal logic, the bottom of this well should be the 21st floor.

But standing by the well and looking inside, there is a feeling of being on the edge of an abyss and being like an ant, which is by no means something that can be experienced in the city.

Even if you stand at the top of a high-rise building, looking down at the traffic of the market, you don't feel like I do now. In this well is the abyss, and that kind of blackness has been detached from people's normal cognition and emotions.

It's like floating in space, facing the infinite vastness of the universe.

The three of us flashlights shone down at the same time, and the pillars of light shot straight into the darkness, and finally turned into a line. In the light source, there is nothing illuminated, there is no reflection, it is like being swallowed up by darkness.

If I hadn't seen this well in a building, but in some underground cave, I wouldn't have hesitated to assume that the bottom of the well would have reached the center of the earth.

But this well is in the building, if it is really infinitely deep, it will inevitably penetrate the whole building, how can the residents be indifferent?

I suddenly had a very peculiar idea - the construction of this entire Taoist temple is actually for this well.
