At this time, the copper lock took a dollar coin out of his pocket and threw it into the well. The white coin quickly disappeared into the flashlight, swallowed up by the darkness.

We waited for it to hit the ground. But a long time passed, and I didn't wait for that voice. My whole body was stiff, my throat was tight, and I couldn't say anything.

"Here," Li Yang said, "it should be the entrance to the Yin and Yang worlds." ”

I said, "You mean, down there is a road to hell?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Li Yang smiled bitterly.

I felt a sense of relief mixed with disappointment, for I knew that all of our investigations had come to an end. This end point is the deep well in front of you that doesn't know where it leads.

This scene reminds me of the usual ending of American horror films, where the protagonist desperately runs out of a mysterious underground cave, and when he reaches the entrance of the cave after a thousand difficulties and dangers, he thinks he is out of danger, only to find that there is another bigger cave outside.

If we want to continue to find the truth, we must go into the deep well and explore the secrets inside.

But, I know, none of us would do that.

So it's a dead knot, it's the end of everything.

After a long time, the copper lock said: "Since you have come, let's take a group photo." ”

He set up his camera on the edge of the well, and the three of us stood in front of the camera in a huddle, and after the timer passed, the flash flashed and the picture was taken.

On the way back, the copper lock looked a little lonely: "That's it?" ”

"If it's not over, what else do you want?!" Li Yang rubbed his eyebrows: "I'm too tired these days, I plan to go back to rest and recuperate." ”

"Oh, by the way," he said suddenly, "let the matter here be kept as secret as possible, I have a foreboding that the fewer people who know the Tao, the better." ”

"Can I post it on Weibo?" Copper Lock asked knowingly.

Li Yang smiled: "If you are not afraid of death, you will send it." Although our Chinese magic is now declining, we can't keep up with what masters are hidden among the people. If someone knows that there is such a place here, I don't think we will have a good life. ”

"What do you want to do next?" I asked him, who had been silent.

Li Yang's eyes were a little confused: "Maybe we will continue to investigate." He paused: "But I will never risk my life." Li Damin's second goods have disappeared, and I can't make the same mistake again. ”

On the third day after we returned to our accommodation, Li Yang moved. Before he moved, he told me to move out as soon as possible if there was a suitable place. The yin atmosphere here is too strong, and if you live for a long time, you may not be good for yourself.

I thought it was true, and during the few days I lived here, I felt weak in my body, fluttering under my feet, dizzy in my head, and made mistakes one after another at work, which made my manager criticize me many times.

If you live any longer, I'm afraid your life will be in jeopardy.

I contacted my former roommate, and the original place of residence was still there, and it was not rented out. I contacted the landlord, paid the money, and moved back again.

The roommate's eyes widened, and he said that I was the idiot of Tianzi No. 1, and I used money to fill the big hole.

If you think about it, I don't complain, although I spent more money, but after all, I had a super awesome adventure experience, and it was worth it.

When I wrote my memoirs in my later years, I finally had something to write about.

Later days tended to be dull. Sometimes I also talk to Tongsuo and Li Yang on the phone and chat on the Internet. Several times the Lantern League held outdoor activities, and the copper lock invited me to participate, but I politely declined.

I tried my best to seal away that experience and Li Damin's memories and live my own little life. But that day, a phone call involved me in an even darker whirlpool.

The call was from Li Damin's mother.

Li Damin's mother is an intellectual woman, and it is said that she is also a teacher at a certain university. I have seen this middle-aged woman a few times, she is very elegant-looking, has an elegant temperament, and must have been a beauty when she was young. Once when I was staring at his mother, Li Damin said to me viciously that if I stared at my mother again, he would gouge out my eyeballs.

I was expecting her to call.

Li Damin has been missing for two months now, and there has been no news. No matter how careless Mom and Dad are, they can't sit still at this time.

I've been hiding from them for fear of finding me. But I couldn't dodge it.

On the phone, it was his mother's crying voice, sobbing for a while, and I felt very uncomfortable listening to it: "Auntie, you, don't be sad. ”

"Xiao Liu, you are the best friend of Damin, don't lie to your aunt, tell me honestly, he, is he ......"

I was shocked when I heard it: "Auntie, what do you think, how can something happen to Damin?" ”

"Then how did he disappear for months as soon as he left? I asked everywhere, but no one knew what to say, and I even invited a private detective, but I still didn't hear from this child. I looked for Li Yang, and Li Yang said that you know the whereabouts of the people of the Dao. Xiao Liu, don't let Auntie be anxious, Auntie just wants to have a number in her heart, just say, Damin is ...... He's dead? ”

"Huh." I laughed hard and at the same time my heart was covered with haze, and there was a kind of heavy depression. In the future, when people mention the missing Li Damin, the first person that comes to mind must be me. I felt like I was his murderer.

"Auntie, don't think about it, Damin has nothing to do, he must have gone to a poor mountain and remote place to cultivate and retreat."

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and his mother suddenly said, "Xiao Liu, do you know the truth?" I dreamed of Damin the other day...... He, he was in hell, very miserable, and he said he missed me so much. ”

Li Damin's mother asked me to meet at a café.

When I arrived, I saw that Li Yang was also there. The two of them had been waiting for a long time. It was getting colder, and I sat across from them and took off my padded jacket.

Li Damin's mother was obviously much haggard, very thin, and had a lot of gray hair on her head. When she saw me coming, she smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Liu, what do you want to drink?" ”

I said whatever.

His mother called the waiter, ordered coffee, and ordered a plate of snacks. Li Yang didn't look at me all the time, hanging his head, his expression was gloomy and thoughtful.

"Xiao Liu, don't be afraid, I just want to ask about the whereabouts of Damin, and you can say whatever you know."

I took a sip of coffee and looked at Li Yang. Li Yang raised his head, winked at me, and said, "Say whatever you want." Auntie, as Li Damin's mother, has the right to know. ”

I looked at the two of them, leaning back on the couch: "Can I smoke?" ”

Li Yang took out Bao Yuxi from his pocket and threw it over: "Don't be hypocritical, hurry up." I've told you everything I know. ”

I lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, sorted out my thoughts, and told his mother all the experiences about the underworld starting from me and Li Damin interviewing Peng Liang.

Auntie listened very attentively, and without saying a word, my mind completely fell into memory, and more than an hour had passed unconsciously when I finished speaking.

Auntie nodded: "Xie Lu, thank you Xiao Liu, you finally told me the truth." ”

"Auntie, it's not that I mean to hide anything from you. Our experience is incredibly strange and inexplicable, and it is completely beyond the normal understanding of normal people. Not to mention whether you will believe it or not, even if you do, you can't do anything. This is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, and you can only add to your troubles. I said.

"Super is beyond my ability, I will judge. You don't have to make up your mind for me. His mother said coldly.

I was so embarrassed by these words that I took two puffs of cigarette in a trembling way, and my heart was clouded with haze.

Li Yang cleared his throat, broke the awkward coldness, and said, "My sister-in-law recently had a strange dream, dreaming of Damin. I think this dream has some meaning and may provide some clues. ”

The aunt said, "This dream gave me the confidence to do that. ”

"Do what?" I asked casually.

Li Yang said: "My sister-in-law contacted a very powerful master in Shanghai, and she will come over in a few days to watch the shadow for her." ”

"Watching the shadows? What is that? I asked, suspiciously.

Li Yang scratched his scalp: "To put it simply, it is to let my sister-in-law go out of her body and go to the underworld to find Li Damin in person and communicate with him." ”

I gasped and looked at the woman in front of me, who was feeling a little chilly.

Auntie looked into my eyes: "Xiao Liu, this time the Guanluo Yin is very important, you have to appear." ”

"Me?" I resisted in my heart. I just came out of that nightmare and wanted to live a peaceful life, but who knew that the road tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop. Such an evil thing, why did you think of me again?

"What can I do?"

Li Yang shrugged: "Don't talk about you, even I have to attend." How to do it, I will listen to the master when the time comes.

I took a few puffs of cigarette and made a decision. Li Damin's disappearance has nothing to do with me, so instead of avoiding it like this, it is better to have a good time. If his mother wants to do it, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman.

Li Yang said: "Sister-in-law, you tell Lao Liu about that strange dream." ”

Auntie nodded and spoke slowly.

My son has been missing for many days, and there is no news of him. When my mother's heart has a knot, I will inevitably lose sleep at night. That night, she couldn't sleep again, for fear of affecting her husband, so she went to the living room and sat on the sofa for a while. I just feel that the night is long and the time is difficult.

She had a whim, and thought of buying some alcohol at the 24-hour convenience store to drink, and got drunk.

The night was cold, but she didn't want to dress too cumbersomely, so she only wrapped a thick cotton jacket and went out. At night, the street is silent and empty, except for the door number of a convenience store not far away.

She pushed the door open, the wind chimes rattled, and the store was empty, and there was no one. She shouted a few times, but no one answered, so she had to carry a bag of canned beer herself and put the money on the counter.

I went out and hurried home. At this time, the moon is dark and cloudy, and the night wind rises suddenly, which makes people panic.

When she came to the door of the cave, she took out the key to open the door, and when she suddenly noticed someone tapping her on the shoulder behind her.

She turned her head, stunned. Behind him, stood four imps.

These four little ghosts, all about 1.5 meters tall, naked, with scattered heads, couched bodies, skinny as wood, and they looked like the ghosts in the eighteen-layer hell map.

The four imps carried a huge red wooden coffin on their shoulders, and the coffin was painted with strange black runes, which looked extremely terrifying. The most bizarre thing is that the coffin has a red umbrella-shaped top lid on top, and under the top cover is an open coffin. Looking at the momentum, this coffin is very much like a sedan chair, and it has the meaning of inviting you into the coffin.
