We dragged him out of the iron gate, and Li Yang was panting and his face was drenched with sweat. I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I quickly wrapped the big cotton jacket. Li Yang's cheeks were crimson, obviously excited, and he said: "Inside is a secret room, and there are traces of people living in it." ”

We looked at each other, and Copperlock tried to ask, "You don't see anyone?" ”

Li Yang shook his head: "The room is not big, empty, and there is no one." What is the specifics, you will know the Tao after you have seen it. ”

Wang Chen swallowed: "All in?" ”

"Voluntary."

Wang Chen said, "Why don't you ...... I'm showing you clothes outside? ”

Copper lock looked at the dark and gloomy top-floor platform and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Wang, don't think that there is nothing wrong here." ”

Wang Chen's face changed, too, his companions were gone, and it was indeed more difficult to stay alone in such a weird and strange place.

Li Yang said: "Wang Chen doesn't want to enter, don't enter, the space inside is relatively narrow, and it can't accommodate so many people." Wang Chen, you just stay outside and shout if you have something. ”

Wang Chen felt that he had made a mistake in his decision, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to arrange it this way. A few of us took off our outer padded jackets, followed Li Yang's back buttocks, and climbed into the iron gate.

When I entered the inside, I clearly felt that the temperature was very high, and I couldn't help but sweat beads on my head. Rows of patina pipes gurgled and the sound of water flowing. Li Yang opened the way in front of him and motioned for us to go inside with him.

The deeper you go, the more pipes of different lengths and lengths, and in the quiet darkness, you can occasionally hear the sound of "ticking and ticking" falling into the water nowhere. The air was filled with stale moisture, mixed with a strong smell of patina, which was extremely uncomfortable to smell.

The place was so quiet that we could hear our footsteps clearly. After walking for a short time, Li Yang said softly: "It's here." ”

Several flashlights shone at the same time, and directly opposite, at the end of the room, stood an iron door painted red. The door was not closed, it was half open, it was black and empty, and nothing could be seen.

Li Yang walked in with us, and as soon as we walked in the door, the temperature was a little higher. The first thing I saw was ridiculous.

It was actually a simple toilet, built with wooden planks, probably too old, the wooden planks cracked, shattering the wooden dregs on the ground, revealing the squatting pit inside. Through the thick dirt, you can vaguely see the original white background of the squatting poop, and there is a broken water tank next to it. Li Yang pulled, and there was an empty echo, no water came out, and it was no longer usable.

Next to the toilet was a dilapidated washstand, tattered and full of filth, and the thick scale had curdled into a dark brown, and I was unappetizing to look at.

The room was not very large, these two things took up most of it, and further inside, we actually saw a tattered writing desk. The style of the writing desk is very old, I only saw it when I was a child, and it resembles an old-fashioned school desk. There were a lot of papers scattered on the table, and some books were open, the pages were yellow, and a thick layer of dust and water had accumulated on them, which were very fragile and could easily be turned over, and could probably break.

The walls next to the desk were covered with a large amount of paper and photographs, all covered in dust and cobwebs.

I walked around the desk and wanted to walk to the wall, but Li Yang whispered, "Everyone be careful, don't touch things here." ”

I went to the wall and turned on my flashlight to look at the photos on the wall, both solo and group. The surface of the photo is a deep burnt yellow, which looks like a sense of vicissitudes accumulated over the years.

Many of the photographs have been blurred, and I can only vaguely see the background, whether it is a park or a square or a mountain, and those backgrounds take me back to my childhood. I don't know if you have seen the kind of outdoor black and white photos in the 80s, the furnishings in the park are very simple and even simple, but with the white to deep sky, there is an image of empty and tranquil. At that time, people lived purely, sitting or standing in the photos, showing an unpretentious smile, without the anxiety of today's society.

I was a little fascinated by it, and at the same time I noticed something strange, although the background of the photo is not clear, but the details can be roughly seen, and the main body of the photo, the person, is very blurry. Even so, it can be seen that the protagonist of these photos is a woman.

She has long hair and a slender figure, and she can see that she is a very beautiful woman, but her distorted and blurred facial features make me feel that this person has an indescribable demonic aura, indescribably hideous, maybe this is just a psychological illusion.

There are also some family photos in the photos, which are family photos of this woman, who is supposed to be a wife, standing on either side with her husband, and a little boy in the middle. The boy was wearing a cute little navy uniform, holding a toy gun in his hand, and his expression was very spirited. It can be seen that this family, at least in the photos, is very happy.

It was supposed to be a very warm family photo, but my scalp was numb when I saw it, and I felt creepy. Because of her husband and son, her facial features are very clear, but the woman in the same photo has a blurred face. Not only that, but her eyes seemed to have been scratched by something, and they were scratched into very thin ones, and the cracks between her bones were cold.

I turned on my flashlight and scanned the pictures on the wall, and most of them were like this. No matter what occasion or background this woman is, her facial features are blurred and her expression is unclear.

I walked along the wall, looking at it as I walked, and I was so engrossed that I didn't pay attention for a moment and crashed into my desk. The fragile desk rattled and flew with ashes, and he was leaning over to check the copper lock of the paper, almost scaring his urine out.

Copper Lock glared at me: "Can't you be careful?!" ”

"What do you see? So focused. I asked.

The copper lock beckoned me over: "Lao Liu, look at this, it's awesome." ”

Qin Dan and I leaned over to see that it was a very thick notebook spread out on the edge of the desk. This kind of notebook is rare now, the book is very large, it looks like it should be cowhide, very thick, and the open page is glued with a newspaper clipping.

The pages of the newspaper are yellow and wrinkled, and the most awesome thing is that they are written vertically up and down, using traditional characters. I looked at it carefully, and some of the handwriting was unclear, but I could still understand the general meaning. After reading it, my heart was stirred, and I couldn't help myself.

It is written on a report, which says that in the fourth year of the Republic of China, a strange thing happened somewhere in Sichuan. There was a large family where the old lady died. According to local rules, the coffin should be stopped for seven days after death, and the coffin should be buried after the night of resurrection. On the night of the resurrection, the family members who were keeping vigil heard a strange sound in the coffin, as if something was striking the coffin, which scared these people, so they quickly gathered their families and opened the coffin to check. After opening it, everyone present was dumbfounded.

The body of the old lady in the coffin was gone, replaced by a snake. The snake spat out letters, erected its body, made a patrol motion, and hissed strangely. After relieving themselves, everyone speculated whether it was a snake that got into the coffin and swallowed the old lady's body. Now everyone was on fire, and felt that they had a common enmity with this snake, and when they rushed forward to smash the snake with a shovel and pickaxe, they suddenly found that this snake actually had a human face!

This face is vivid, it is like an old lady reborn, and the expression is vivid, and it can even blink. This frightened everyone, and no one dared to step forward.

The day after the night of resurrection, the snake crawled out of the coffin and burrowed into the crack in the wall. Everyone had no choice but to bury the empty coffin.

Although the report is brief, it is a strange thing. And what excites us is not this report, but a sentence annotated by someone with a ballpoint pen below.

It reads: "Dissolve the elephant, the snake flies." This is the omen of the autopsy into immortals? So what does my situation belong to? ”

When I saw the word "autopsy", I raised my head and saw that Li Yang was also looking at me.

After reading the article on the newspaper clipping, Li Yang looked at me and said meaningfully: "Autopsy Immortal." ”

We both chanted at the same time: "Snow hugs the blue pass, and the horse does not move forward." ”

Copper Lock and Qin Dan both knew about our story, and Copper Lock said: "If the annotation under the newspaper clipping was left by the owner of this secret room, so he locked himself here to become an immortal." ”

Qin Dan shook his head: "Look at his annotation, 'This is the sign of autopsy becoming an immortal?'" So what does my situation belong to? This shows that he has cultivated to a certain level, but he can't be sure if his state is correct. ”

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, Qin Dan's analysis is very reasonable. ”

I looked at the cramped and cramped secret room I was in, and suddenly said, "Do you think the owner here is a man or a woman?" ”

Copper lock was puzzled: "Lao Liu, what have you discovered?" ”

I pointed to the photos on the wall: "If you look at it, you will know that the protagonists in the photos on the wall are all women, and it cannot be ruled out that she is the one who cultivates here." ”

The copper lock walked to the wall with a flashlight, bent his waist, and looked at them one by one very carefully. After looking at it for a while, his expression was a little shocked: "Why can't this woman see every face clearly?" ”

Qin Dan and Li Yang also walked over to take a look. Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "If my guess is right, I probably know the identity of this woman." ”
