"Who?" Li Yang asked.

"Chairman of Lihua Group." Copper lock road.

"Damn, I don't know." Li Yang scolded.

"You don't know me, why did this old guy get here?" Copper lock talked about this chairman. Lihua Group is a very large comprehensive enterprise in the city, the old chairman is nearly 70 years old, has long since retired, I didn't expect to come here.

The reason why Copper Lock knew this old man was because their family had trade contacts with Lihua Group, and his uncle once brought Copper Lock to visit someone's house, so they had a relationship. The elders of their family have always wanted to let the copper lock be in business, but the copper lock has been dry for a while, and the mud can't support the wall, and the business makes him a mess. The family saw that this kid was indeed not this material, so they agreed that he could choose his life freely. But after all, he had such a business experience, which made him know many tall entrepreneurs in the city.

Li Yang gave him a blank look: "People have been recuperating here." ”

Copper Lock shook his head: "A few days ago, at a family gathering, I listened to my uncle and their small talk about this old guy. He said that he had terminal cancer and was ready for the future. Strange, why are you running here again? Could it be that this nursing home is also responsible for hospice care? ”

The three of them walked into the temple as they spoke. The further you go inside, the fewer lanterns there are, the darker the light becomes, and you can barely see anything inside the first deep hall. I could barely see some people wearing white and black practice clothes, one holding a bowl of oil lamp, with a serious expression and an expressionless face, and the flames reflected their faces with green light.

The woman who led the three of them stopped, pointed to these people and said, "They are all our brothers and sisters, and they are all part of this big family. Do you know that the brothers in white were all sentenced to death by God, and they all had one terminal illness or another, but they did not give up their desire for life and their attachment to their relatives, and came to us. ”

"What's the use of coming here?" Li Yang is really welcome. Ordinary people don't talk much when they hear this, even if they don't understand, but he says whatever he wants.

The woman laughed, "You'll know the truth in a moment." ”

She led the three of them into the first main hall. Next to the main entrance of the main hall is a wishing wall. I saw colorful ribbons hanging on the wall, which were full of words such as "Zhongyuan", "Shenghui", and "Obon".

The three of them didn't have time to think about it, so they walked in. The hall was pitch black, and only the people in white and black could be seen, holding oil lamps in their hands, circling the temple. The flames of oil lamps flickered, making it seem that this place was ghostly.

"What are they doing here?" Liu Yang asked.

The woman didn't answer. And behold, in the middle of the hall, the ground suddenly lit up, and the light of a light bulb came out from below. On this piece of light sits an idol of a god. The idol was dressed in ancient court clothes, with upright facial features, a face as red as blood, and a strange red hat on his head. The statue is surrounded by flowers, and many flowers are clustered. The flower was originally dedicated to girls, but around this ghost-like statue, it makes people feel a little weird and indescribable.

The people in white and black in the hall were all circling around this statue. They were tireless, and they walked in circles and circles, and they seemed extremely religious. Liu Yang also observed that these people walked a few steps and gently dipped their fingers in the oil oil in the lamp, and then flicked them towards the idol.

Liu Yang didn't dare to disturb this atmosphere loudly, and asked the woman in a low voice what was going on.

The woman smiled and said, "These lamp oils are all exchanged for their donations." There is a building in the back dedicated to holding the sea lantern, and a brother has a sea lantern, which is the Dharma body of my king of the underworld, day and night. Every day, they would scoop up the oil from their lanterns, light the lanterns in their hands, and come to this temple to worship the gods. ”

The copper lock was puzzled: "I scoop the lamp oil every day and sacrifice it to the gods, how much lamp oil is there, can I stop it from being consumed?" ”

Li Yang looked at him with rolling eyes: "Are you stupid?" If you don't have it, you can't pour it in. ”

"Boy, how much lamp oil do you need? Can I donate a tank of sea lanterns? Copper Lock said.

The woman said: "Okay, there are several grades of sea lanterns, ranging from 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, you can donate it." ”

The brass lock stopped talking. These black-clothed and white-clothed people who came in and out to worship the gods were hundreds as far as the eye could see. Seeing that this woman doesn't talk like a lie, a person is at least 10,000 a month, good guy, a hundred people is 1 million. Who opened this place, he is really a master of collecting money, he doesn't do any work, and he earns millions every month by sitting on the ground.

"Who the hell is this god?" Li Yang asked.

The woman looked at the statue on the ground, her eyes were full of tenderness, as if she saw her lover: "This is our soul messenger of the underworld, the right-hand man of the king of the underworld, he has great powers and boundless power, he can assist the king of the underworld to help our suffering brothers and sisters in this big family to continue their lives and live long and healthy." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and when they heard this in this atmosphere, they had an eerie feeling.

The woman called a man in white, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and the man in white took an oil lamp and handed it to her. The woman called the three of them and came to one of the pillars of the temple. It takes three or four people to hug this big pillar, and it's all red painted. On the pillars are two large framed signs. The woman took an oil lamp and shone it on the three of them.

The first signboard is the donation list, who has donated how much money has been made here. It is written in small letters, densely packed, and there are hundreds of people to say the least. The three of them clearly saw that at the top of the donation list, there was the words "Wang Laifu of Lihua Group donated 1 million".

The second sign is the thank you board. On what year, month, and day, someone went to the hospital for an examination, and found that all the cancer cells were gone, and he recovered his health, and he jumped out of the house to find Miss. followed by words of thanks, Xie Lu Xie the King of the Underworld gave him life, and the King of the Underworld is the reincarnated parent Yunyun.

The thank you list is all well-documented, and there are dozens of people densely packed, and it doesn't look like a fake.

Li Yang said: "With all due respect, other temples are dedicated to what Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and I have never heard of anyone dedicated to the king of the underworld and the little ghost who hooks the soul, isn't this the right way?" ”

This is hurtful enough to tell the truth, and it is completely questioning one's faith. The woman stopped the oil lamp in her hand, her expression was cloudy, and then she smiled: "There is a difference in what this Taoist friend said. Due to various historical reasons, the temples dedicated to the gods of the underworld, such as the Yin Temple, the Wanying Palace, and the East Prison Palace, no longer exist, but they are flourishing overseas. Not admitting or believing does not mean that there is no such thing! Why do you think that the king of hell must be dark? Governing the ghosts of the dead and taking charge of reincarnation and life and death is a very serious and great thing. ”

"Yes, yes. I wonder if the king of the underworld really has the supernatural power to continue life? "Copper Lock.

"I'll see you." The woman smiled and walked slowly behind with an oil lamp.

Li Yangnunu mouthed, indicating to follow. Copper Lock said, "Why do I feel so percolated? Goosebumps are up. Let's go. ”

Li Yang sneered: "Go? Since I'm here, I'm going to take a closer look, but I'm going to see what kind of character this king of hell is. ”

"Holy, can you be quiet. Scolding a monk in the temple, you still think you don't die fast enough. Copperlock scolded him.

The three of them came to the place between the first and second major halls, where a wall had blocked the passage, leaving only a small iron gate with a fence. Looking inside along the iron gate, there was no light in the black forest, and it was as black as a cloud of thick ink, which was very scary.

The only source of light was a small oil lamp in the woman's hand, and by the faint light of the fire, there was a stool inside the small iron door, on which sat a man also dressed in dusty clothes, and with a bun on his head.

The three of them immediately understood that those dressed in white and black here should be believers, and those dressed in gray should be staff.

The man's eyes were slightly closed at this time, and his hands were clasped together, as if he was chanting something.

The woman whispered to the three of them, "The two-story hall inside is only accessible to veterans of our extended family......"

Copper lock hurriedly said: "Then let's forget it, there are many disturbances, it is very inconvenient." ”

The woman chuckled: "You are the people who are personally ordered by the dean, especially Liu Yang, who has a relationship." Of course, you can go in. It's just that I would like to remind you three of you that the scene inside may make you a little resistant, and no matter what you see after you go in, don't disturb the ritual inside. After reading it, I also hope that it will not be publicized everywhere, after all, there are still many people in this society who have a strong misunderstanding of us, and those rituals will deepen their views. ”

It's okay if she doesn't say that, but as soon as she says that, even Li Yang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is awkward. But having come here, it seems impossible not to go in.

The woman knocked lightly on the small iron door, and the man inside opened his eyes and saw the visitor, and a very sincere smile appeared on his face. He stood up and opened the iron door, and whispered, "I'm almost at the end of my life, and I'm going to baptize a new brother next." ”

The woman beckoned lightly and led the three of them into the small iron gate, which led them to the second deep hall. The area of this hall is much larger than that of the first hall, and the shape is also very peculiar. Around the main hall was a cloister, and when they entered, they were standing on a high cloister and looking down.

The cloister is about one story away from the main hall below, and the cloister is at the same level as the ground outside, so it seems that the main hall of this main hall is lower than the normal level, and the height of one floor is excavated into the ground, which is a very novel idea. It has created a temple in the building, and the pattern of the temple in the temple is exquisite, which reminds people of the tangram.

Red lanterns are hung all around the corridor, and the red light flickers out of the lampshade, giving a very hazy and ambiguous sense of dream. In the quaint hall below, there sat a number of people, each on a futon, sitting cross-legged on the ground, dressed in black and white clothes. When viewed from above, it looks like a taiji fish.

In front of them sat a man in a long robe and a gray robe, holding something like a scripture and talking about something. His voice was magnetic, with a hint of intriguing trembling, loud and clear, echoing through the temple.

The terrifying thing is that everyone in the temple is wearing a mask of Japanese Noh drama, whether it is a god or a human or a mad or a ghost, all of them are miserable and white. In the hazy red light, it was eerie.

The gray-clad man himself wore a woman's mask from Sunjiro, and from this extremely feminine mask came his masculine voice.

“…… He finally comprehended the secret of life and death, he seemed to see the fire of Immovable Tianzun, seemed to see the red lotus with cracked flesh and skin, and seemed to see the heinous soul of sin...... He saw the ultimate secret of this worldly realm. He blew out the candle and slowly stood on his chair, hanging his neck in a noose......"

At this time, Li Yang suddenly saw Liu Yang's face pale and crumbling, holding the railing of the corridor tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging.

"What's wrong with you?"

"He reads the last article of "The Story of Hades", "Hanging". Liu Yang said in a trembling voice.
