Roll down the window and look out, and there is an entire night market outside. I recognized the place, and I turned a street and came to the city center of the city, which was full of opulent five-star hotels and clubs. I really didn't expect that across the street, there would be another cave.

In front of you is a dilapidated road, and the surrounding community is called a slum, full of sewage, but it is also very lively. On the street of the night market, there is almost no end in sight, there are dozens of stalls of spicy hot, mutton skewers, and various special snacks, in addition to selling food, there are also selling clothes, playing, and using, people come and go, frying and frying, don't mention this liveliness.

Could this place be a ghost realm? I was wondering, Qin Dan had already found a place to park the car, and the little girl spoke very competently: "Go, Lao Liu, get out of the car." ”

I had no choice but to get out of the car and drag Li Damin out of the back seat. When I touched his hand, my heart chuckled, the tentacles were cold, and there was no heat at all. This person can't really die, right?

I carried him on my back, Qin Dan locked the car, and went to the night market with the address list. I followed closely.

Qin Dan stopped pedestrians from time to time to inquire about the location, and some people looked at the address and then at her, their expressions were very weird, and they pointed in the direction with an inexplicable smile.

What's going on?

We turned into it from an intersection in the night market and went around a few more streets. This is Qin Dan leading the way, if I am a road idiot, I will be dizzy directly.

"It should be here." Qin Dan said.

I looked up and was amazed, it was a dilapidated building, which looked to have been built in the seventies and eighties of the last century, with several small floors, mottled walls, and exposed cement. Even more unexpectedly, there was a flashing electronic sign hanging on the window sill on the second floor, which read: Penglai Hotel.

While he was hesitating, there was a large group of migrant workers, talking and laughing. They all looked like they had just returned from the night market, drunk and drunk, carrying hard hats that were so dirty that they couldn't see the primary color, and talking with their necks around their necks. We hurriedly got out of the way, and the migrant workers glanced at us and entered the small building one after another.

I wonder a little, why do migrant workers usually stay in hotels? Even if it's cheap, it's forty or fifty a night, and how much money do they earn a month.

At this time, a few more greased and whitewashed women came, wearing black silk stockings and boots on a cold day, wearing a small vest on their upper bodies, and one led a lewd man, sneakily also entered the small building.

This is obviously a secret prostitute. No wonder when Qin Dan asked for directions just now, those people's expressions were so strange.

What the hell is this place, migrant workers sleeping, young ladies do work, and they can do things to summon spirits, I became more and more interested. Qin Dan and I were about to walk inside when we heard someone shouting our names.

Looking back, it was Li Yang. Holding a long scroll of paintings, he panted and ran over: "That's right, this is it." ”

"That's it, you're pretty fast." I say.

"I'm afraid of delays, so I take a taxi back and forth, and I run with bumps. Since that's right, let's go inside. ”

When I entered the small building, I was faced with a dark staircase, and when I went up to the second floor, there was a cave. The entire second floor is a large hall, very empty, dilapidated, with wood dregs scattered on the floor, broken clubs and whatever, revealing depression and decay. I guess there should have been a billiard room here a long time ago.

There are two entrances to the lobby on the second floor. One of the entrances is a staircase, from which the migrant workers and ladies go up, and it looks like a residence. There is also an entrance, a dilapidated gate, open, and dark outside, and the shadows of the buildings can be faintly seen through the moonlight, which is gloomy.

Li Yangnunu mouthed: "Lao Liu, go out of the house to smoke a bag of cigarettes?" ”

I put Li Damin in a dark corner, and Qin Dan guarded it. The two of us scurried out of the broken gate. When I came outside, the cold wind gusted, and I looked around, and I was simply stunned. This is a large courtyard surrounded by tall residential buildings on all sides, each of these buildings is estimated to be about seven or eight floors, black and pressed, none of the rooms are lit up, lifeless, it can be seen that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Yang, and found that his hand was trembling. Li Yang took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and said tremblingly, "Yes, this is it!" I was attached to Lin Xia's body and came here. He pointed to the staircase of the abandoned building in the distance: "At that time, Ma Danlong was there to pick me up. ”

A cold wind blew, blowing chills all over my body, and when I looked back at Li Damin, there was no light in that corner, and he was hiding in the dark, and he could only see an arm hanging on the ground.

"What a hell of a place like this." I muttered.

Li Yang took a few puffs of cigarettes, sniffed, walked under the wall, and unbuttoned his belt to pee. I didn't bother to look at him, turned and walked back down the hall. Qin Dan lowered her head and played with her mobile phone alone, I didn't disturb her, followed behind the butts of several migrant workers, and went up the stairs to another entrance.

After going up, I found that it was divided into two roads, one to the Penglai Hotel, and the other to the place where the migrant workers lived. I was not interested in the hotel where the young lady had opened a house, so I followed the migrant workers into their quarters. If you don't see it, you don't know the way, and your heart is sinking. The migrant workers occupy one of the four dilapidated buildings, most of which have no doors or windows, with simple bunk iron beds, tattered sheets and torn clothes, exuding a choking smell. On such a cold day, they nailed wooden planks to the empty windowsill to protect them from the wind, huddled together in thick clothes, and kept warm in the house, and there was a stove burning in the house.

I am not a child of a rich family, and I am also from an ordinary family, and I have never seen such a scene, full of garbage, stinking, and every face reveals ignorance and numbness. When they saw me, their eyes were cunning and vicious, and they were smiling. My scalp was numb and I quickly withdrew from it.

went down the stairs and saw Li Yang chatting with Qin Dan. Seeing that my face was wrong, they asked what was wrong.

I patted my chest and said, "It's a ghost here." ”

"That's right, this is the Ghost Domain." Ma Danlong's voice came from behind him. He strode over, Copperlock following behind with a bulging bag on his back, and his face was pained.

"This place was originally a residential area for the families of workers in a large state-owned factory, but 30 years ago there was a terrible fire here. The fire burned for one night and one day, killing hundreds of people, many of whom were taken in their dreams. If you have the heart to check the news of the year, oh, forget that the specific news of the fire has been completely blocked, and many details may be lost in the long river of history. ”

"Then how do you know about the Dao?" Qin Dan asked.

Ma Danlong's eyes were misty: "Later, this became the most famous ghost town in the city, and many terrifying things happened, and many people claimed to have seen ghosts." It was I who came here to do a ritual, and the soul of the unjust death was only dedicated. There are still many lonely ghosts roaming this place......"

We listened and looked at each other, and our hearts were full of numbness. I asked, "In that case, why didn't the relevant departments demolish and rebuild?" ”

"Hehe," Ma Danlong smiled: "There have been several ground breaks and demolished here, but they have all returned in vain." As soon as it was demolished, a ghost wind blew, and the iron sheet that once blew up the fence of the construction site was more than ten meters high, and the construction site was razed to the ground. Just to demolish this place, at least five people died, and countless people were injured. So it was put on hold. ”

I looked upstairs and said, "This is a haunted place, and the conditions are so poor, why do you need to live for those migrant workers?" ”

Ma Danlong said: "They don't live here, do they want to sleep on the streets outside?" ”

I was speechless.

"Neighbors with ghosts, hell on earth." Ma Danlong said: "If you have discerning eyes, you can see how many evil spirits are rampant in the streets under the bright lights. ”

We listened coldly, and the copper lock asked: "Master Ma, if you do it for a while, those ghosts won't make trouble, right?" ”

Ma Danlong said: "With me, what are you afraid of." ”

He was talking about Xingtou just now, and when he interrupted, he was a little excited and asked what time we were.

"Nine-forty, it's almost ten." Qin Dan looked at his watch and said.

Ma Danlong nodded: "At eleven o'clock, we officially started the practice, and now there is still time, let's get ready first." "According to his instructions, I carried Li Damin on my back, Tongsuo on my back and a big bag, Qin Dan and Li Yang followed behind, and Ma Danlong led the way in front.

There was hardly any light in the large courtyard, it was pitch black everywhere, and the ground was covered with rubble and bricks, and we stumbled and stumbled, and if we didn't pay attention, we were all on our toes.

This place is already gloomy, Li Damin on my back is like an ice cube, there is no breath, and I have goosebumps all over my body: "Brother Ma, Li Damin is not really dead, why is his body getting colder and colder." ”

Ma Danlong looked at it and said, "Actually, he is a dead man now." The soul is not there, the body is an empty shell, what is the difference between it and the dead? The well in the Yin-Yang Concept is a place of extreme yin, and the yin and evil qi emitted can protect the body, to use an inappropriate analogy, like a freezer. Now you have to fish it out, although his body is wrapped in secret medicine, but if he lacks the cold qi, he will still dissipate his vitality and gradually decay, I am afraid that after tonight, Li Damin will not be able to come back if he wants to. ”

"Huh?" I yelled, "Brother Ma, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I advised you to think twice, you have to fish up the corpse, and you said it with deep affection, what can I do. The current situation is like this, if you can call Li Damin's soul back tonight, he will continue to live. If you can't call back......"

"He's dead?" Li Yang asked.

"It's okay to be dead." Ma Danlong said: "If he doesn't succeed in cultivation and can't come back, his soul will be scattered, and he won't even be able to do it as a lonely soul and a wild ghost." ”

We looked at each other, and Qin Dan said: "His soul can be stored in the painting, how can it be so serious?" ”

"That painting," Ma Danlong shook his head, "what you don't understand, it's actually very dangerous." Li Damin wants to cultivate through painting, and painting is also condensing his soul. ”

It's incredible.

Ma Danlong said: "That painting has a history of thousands of years, and its origin is mysterious. Because it can suck people's souls, and then lock the souls and condense them, it is really the most vicious magic weapon in the world. ”

Li Yang was suddenly angry: "In that case, why do you want to bring Li Damin in?" ”

Ma Danlong shrugged: "I have explained these things to Li Damin in advance, but he insists on entering the painting practice, and the path is his own choice." Although this painting is dangerous, it can also be used, it can create a state of delusion, and can provide all kinds of tests. All roads lead to Rome, and becoming an immortal does not necessarily have to be autopsied, and it is reasonable to enter the painting to condense the soul. ”

As we spoke, we entered the abandoned building. The corridor was overgrown with weeds, garbage, cobwebs everywhere, a thick layer of ash everywhere, and a choking smell went straight to the nose.

Shining with a flashlight, there are still yellow cordons scattered on the ground, and there are footprints on them. Ma Danlong explained that there are often young people who don't know how to live and die here.

Copper Lock and Li Yang looked at each other, such a superb place of exploration, their Lantern Alliance actually didn't know the way, it was really insulting.

Shining upstairs with a flashlight, the staircase was pitch black, winding upward, and there was no light.

Ma Danlong walked in front, and we followed cautiously behind. It's a really difficult place to walk, the ground is full of broken bricks and tiles, and even the remains of wood with big nails on it, which can be penetrated by even thick shoes if you accidentally step on it.

At the staircase on the second floor, I was really scared when I encountered something.

At the top of the staircase, I don't know who wrote a huge word "ghost" on the wall with bright red dye. The word is extremely ugly, crooked, but the strokes are vigorous, revealing the atmosphere of the forest, and the excess dye flows down the strokes, which looks shocking.

The flashlight fell on this word, and cold sweat soaked from my forehead: "Who is this, so bold, how dare you write the word 'ghost'?" ”

Ma Danlong was in front and said lightly: "I wrote this word." ”

Let's look at each other.

He said: "It is not clean, and there are many people who have died in great pain, who have died in great pain, who have been burned and smoked, and who have turned into ghosts when they die. This kind of extremely yin place is unbearable for ordinary people. I had to inscribe the word 'ghost' with cinnabar at the top of the staircase to warn future generations not to come here casually. But it didn't work. He shrugged.

We saw that next to the word "ghost", there were many large and small graffiti with different handwriting, and someone wrote "Excuse me, does a ghost have a dick". "Where the hell is? Come on. I just want to hell with it. "Who is so immoral, casually scribbling on the wall." "I'm not afraid of ghosts, but I'm afraid I won't see them......

In addition to the words, there are also unsightly stick figures, which are all about men and women.

Ma Danlong sighed: "This is called good words and it is difficult to persuade damned ghosts." You say that these people are not idle, but they have to come to find excitement when they have a good life. ”

This sentence made Li Yang and Qin Dan blush, their Lantern League is such an organization, the egg hurts very much, where is the haunted going.

At this time, I don't know where in the building, there was a sudden muffled sound of "bang", as if something fell to the ground. Several of us were shocked, and none of us dared to speak.

At the same time, Li Yang found that there was something wrong in his arms, and when he looked down, he saw that the long trickery of the shaft actually began to tremble, as if he was about to break free.

Ma Danlong stretched out his hand to signal us to be quiet, and his eyes flashed: "There is a reaction." ”
