only heard the sound of footsteps "dong dong dong", Li Yang turned on the flashlight to shine, and saw the copper lock running out of the open door, and the figure dangled in the corridor, without taking the elevator, directly into the stairwell.

Qin Dan immediately made a decision, motioned for Li Yang to chase after her, and instructed me not to go anywhere in the house.

I looked at the dark and gloomy room, my throat fluttering, but I couldn't help it. The two of them chased after him.

After sitting in the hall for a while, I was so cold, and suddenly thought that the curtains were still covered, so I hurriedly walked to the windowsill in the dark, and opened the curtains suddenly, and suddenly a large area of sunlight came in, and the room suddenly had warmth.

The room was empty, the temperature was still very low, I groped my shoulders and sat for a moment, my ass seemed to have spikes on my buttocks, I couldn't sit still, I always felt like there was something here. I was about to go out of the corridor when I saw Li Yang and Qin Dan coming back with a gloomy face. Li Yang gasped: "This kid ran so fast, he walked out of the corridor and disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”

"What is he running?" I asked.

Li Yang said: "It must have something to do with that Ning Ning." Qin Dan, why don't you let me continue chasing? ”

Qin Dan said: "Look at the action of the copper lock just now, running so fast, startled, very abnormal, it is not him at all, it seems to be possessed by something." If you chase after you like this, you may not be able to catch up. As long as I'm sure it's related to Ning Ning, I'm sure I'll be able to find him. ”

"How?"

Qin Dan took out the ancient jade from his pocket: "This is a token given to the copper lock by Ning Ning, so use it to find it." ”

Before Li Yang could react, I said directly: "It's tracking again?" ”

Qin Dan smiled: "That's right. ”

Li Yang was puzzled: "No, the chasing is the most impressive picture drawn by the beggar boy, Gu Yu is Ning Ning's, and it is her who we are chasing, but don't forget that Ning Ning may not be a person, can we also draw it?" ”

"Give it a try." Qin Dan said.

I patted Li Yang: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and be a beggar, I don't have any consciousness at all." ”

Li Yang looked at me, sighed, and said helplessly: "Come on." ”

Qin Dan arranged the tools of the method a little, used Li Yang as a boy, and began to track. Li Yang quickly got into the groove, using a pencil, and began to draw in an unconscious state.

I was watching this nervousness from the side, and this time the object of tracking was Ning Ning, and I didn't know what I could draw.

The first picture soon came out, with a very dilapidated abandoned building in the background, lonely in a mountain col. Four stories high, the walls are peeling, the glass is broken, and the sky is cloudy, which looks both solemn and mysterious.

I was looking at it, and the second picture came out again, and Qin Dan and I gasped as soon as we saw this picture. The background of this picture is indoors, and this room resembles an ancient temple, with dilapidated wooden window lattices and criss-crossing beams painted with a large number of ancient ritual motifs. The room was empty, there was no Buddha statue for the table, but there was a large bed at the base of the wall, and a futon was rolled on it, and I don't know what it was.

Staring at this picture, I almost choked. Because the scene in this room is all too familiar. Qin Dan saw my expression and knew that there was a situation, and asked softly what was wrong.

I coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "I've seen the places on this picture." ”

Qin Dan looked at me suspiciously.

"Yesterday in the Buddha hall with Wang Dongmei, she hung in the air in a secret room in the mirror. The style of that chamber is too similar to the room in the painting in front of me, too similar. ”

Qin Dan said: "You mean that Ning Ning and Wang Dongmei are still related?" ”

I smiled wryly: "I don't know what to do." The style of the room they were in was almost the same. Even if they don't have a relationship with each other, it's very likely that they are all in the same place. ”

At this time, Li Yang painted the third painting.

Seeing this painting, Qin Dan and I were completely speechless. It was a large open space, and there was no daylight, and the top was painted by Li Yang with a pencil into a large area of black, and the surface below was a dense coffin, I don't know how many.

We can be completely sure that Ning Ning's location is where Wang Dongmei and Liu Yan went.

After Li Yang finished painting, he went to the toilet and vomited violently, wiped his mouth and walked out, and picked up these three pictures directly without stopping. Qin Dan opened his backpack, took out a few pictures of Li Yangqi tracking Liu Yan last time, flipped to the last one, and compared them.

On Liu Yan's picture, you can see the eaves of ancient buildings in the distance; In Ning Ning's picture, the perspective is standing at the door of this building and looking out. In other words, according to Liu Yantu's drawing, she and Wang Dongmei are walking towards this building. And Ning Ning's picture is looking out from the inside of this building.

Although the perspectives are different, the scenes are similar, especially the black coffins everywhere, which are shocking, like a huge death cemetery.

Li Yang turned around the ground twice with his hands behind his back, his face became more and more pale, and he scratched his head: "There must be a relationship here that we can't imagine." ”

I said, "Actually, there's an important clue that you've all overlooked. ”

"What?" They both asked at the same time.

I cleared my throat: "Do you still remember, in the process of talking about how to know Ning Ning, Copper Lock once said that Apple Tun found a feng shui gentleman. The feng shui gentleman said that the ghost door is wide open, and the yellow spring water flows backwards or something. ”

Li Yang frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”

"When I first heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and thought of a question that I had been thinking about for a long time: What do you say Wang Dongmei always fails to become an immortal?" I asked.

"Why?" Li Yang asked.

I said, "Do you remember that Luo Feng Chengxian mentioned in his notes that the cultivation process of their sect becoming an immortal can be summed up in eight words: Yin cultivation and corpse disintegration into immortals." ”

"Yes." Li Yang nodded: "Go on." ”

"Then the first condition is to practice in the Yin Realm," I said, "The so-called Yin Realm must be the place where the two worlds of Yin and Yang intersect." Let's count the building in the former garden community as one. If you look at these two pictures, they are all coffins, gloomy, could this be a shady place? ”

Li Yang and Qin Dan glanced at each other: "It makes sense." Liu Yan and Wang Dongmei went to this yin land to practice. ”

I nodded: "How did this yin land come about?" Mr. Feng Shui said that the door of ghosts is wide open! I said, "That netherworld is probably near Appleton." ”

Li Yang sighed: "Your analysis is very reasonable. Things are tricky, the last time in the building of the garden community, not only Luo Feng Chengxian, but also hungry ghosts were rampant, and Master Xie arranged the cold forest altar to barely suppress it. This time in Appleton, it must also be rampant with demons and ghosts. ”

"What then?" I asked

Li Yang said: "What else can I do, kill Appletun." Let's get the copper lock out first. ”

Qin Dan sighed and said, "In the current situation, Ning Ning is likely to be some kind of demon from the Yin Land, absorbing the yang energy on the copper lock body to cultivate. This time, we startled the snake, she must have gotten the copper lock to her lair, and it won't be finished until she sucks the copper lock into a human being. ”

I couldn't sit still: "Why don't you call Xie Ling quickly and let Master Xie come." It's a ghost gate there, and I'm panicked when I think about it, and I have to have a profound god to sit in charge. ”

Qin Dan tilted his eyes at me: "You seem to look down on me." ”

"It's not like, it's just." I say.

Qin Dan was a little angry, pouted and thought about it and said, "Okay, don't be rash, go find my senior brother." ”

The three of us left the copper lock and drove back to the place where Xie Ling lived, and when we reached his door upstairs, we were dumbfounded.

I saw a piece of A4 paper glued with transparent glue on the door, and a few words were written in the temple: Come to my friend, I'm sorry, I'm going to do something. If the phone is not turned on, the whereabouts are uncertain, so forgive me.

There is also an inconspicuous line of small words below: Little junior sister, if it were you, 223.

"What does 223 mean?" I asked.

Qin Dan stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand and touched the door frame: "223 is the secret word I set when I was joking with my senior brother, referring to the lintel. Sure enough, she took out a piece of paper from the crack in the lintel, unfolded it, and wrote: "Little junior sister, I know that you will come back to me." I have something important to do, and I can't really help you. Since you left, I asked for a sign in front of the Bodhisattva, which was very troublesome. The local feng shui has moved, the yin and yang are out of balance, the ghost energy is full, and the ghost door is wide open. All things have their own fate, and this calamity is also in the process of creation, if I were you, then wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly. Another: The benevolent brother you brought, the corpse poison has gone, but there are still remnants of corpse Gu in the body, and it is very easy for yin and evil to invade the body and possess him, be careful and careful. ”

After reading this short letter, our hearts were cold. The bell is gone, and what he says validates our inferences.

"What is a corpse Gu?" Li Yang asked.

Qin Dan was stunned: "I don't understand either." To put it simply, it is a kind of mark that Ning Ning gave to the copper lock. There is a corpse Gu, and the copper lock will be controlled by Ning Ning wherever he goes. ”

I hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, why don't you explain it in advance?" ”

Qin Dan said: "He didn't know the reason for the Dao, and he thought that the demon who gave the copper lock Gu had already surrendered. I originally wanted to tell him about the matter, but Li Yang coughed violently and asked for secrecy, so he left such a tail. ”

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, it's up to me." Now what? Qin Dan, we all rely on you. ”

Qin Dan folded the letter and put it in his bag: "Don't worry, I won't leave the copper lock behind." In this way, you go back to rest first, and I will also prepare things, and early tomorrow morning, we will set off to Appletun. ”

The kid with the copper lock is estimated to be unable to die for a while, even if he is taken by a female ghost, he will sleep with him. It's still far from being dead.

Let's go back to our own homes. The first thing I did when I went back was to take a shower in the sauna, rub the mud, feel comfortable, and go home and fall asleep. In the past two days, I have been spinning continuously, and I have not rested, and my body and mind are extremely exhausted.

was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Ning Ning." ”

I sat up with a spirit, thinking I was in the gloomy countryside. After a long time of coming back to my senses, it turned out that I was still lying on the bed in the bedroom. Who just called Ning Ning? I pulled my shoes and got out of bed and pushed open the door, and saw my roommate Wang Chen kissing goodbye to his girlfriend Ding Ling: "Okay Lingling, kiss one more." ”

I rubbed, nervous, misheard Lingling for Ning Ning.

After the holiday, Wang Chen was already at work. He was accustomed to my life and quipped, "What strange things have you been busy with lately?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "Hurry up and get rid of you, say it and scare you to death." ”

Wang Chen pulled Ding Ling and said, "Lingling, be careful, don't let Lao Liu take advantage." ”

I ignored the pair of dog men and women, it was not too early to look at the watch, I washed up briefly, changed into a pair of donkey friends and went out. Appletun is a wilderness, climbing mountains and mountains, you have to prepare early.

By the time we got to the date, the two of them had already arrived, and we got in the car and headed straight out of town.

Get up early in the morning, avoid the morning rush hour, and take the highway again, and arrive at Apple Tun at about nine o'clock in the morning. Find a place to park your car. We followed the route described by the copper lock and began to walk into the mountains. The mountains and forests here are very dense, full of thorns, and it is not very easy to walk. I finally came to the shore of the tidal flat, and from a distance, the whole river surface was sparkling, but there were no people on the left and right, empty and very desolate.

As we walked along the shore, passing a fork in the road, Li Yang said, "It should be here." ”

He pointed to the mountains and forests, and saw a corner of a huge tomb looming in the middle of the dense forest on the mountainside. A tall white stone monument stands tall in the grass. At this time, the mountain wind is very strong, and the surroundings are very quiet, although the sky is sunny and the sun is shining, there is an inexplicable gloomy meaning.

That tomb is where Bronze Lock first met Ning Ning.
