The photo shows a middle-aged woman with shawl hair, a sallow face, and a little old. Wang Zitong asked me who this person was, and I said that I didn't know either, but I must have seen it.

There was a vague impression in my memory. I remember that it seemed to be in a dark room, and a figure floated in the air, as if praying. There were a few people around her, old and young, men and women, all with their hands hanging down and their bodies shaking, as if they were mourning something.

The woman in the photo in front of her is one of them.

I picked up the doll and lifted her clothes, and sure enough, there was a string of eight characters written on the bright red paint on her belly. I have probably understood that the "ghosts" that appear here need me to transcend, and they are reminding me not to forget them in various ways. And the origin of these ghosts should be the mourning people I saw in that dark room.

I lit the cigarette and inserted it next to the doll, and as the green smoke from the cigarette floated out, a trace of black smoke came out of the doll's seven orifices, rolled out of thin air, and gradually dissipated.

I dragged Wang Zitong out of the room and told her what I thought. Wang Zitong's eyes widened and said, "Uncle, can I say that, in fact, without me, you have to come here to surpass these ghosts?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that it should be this reason, and nodded.

I came to this strange world for a purpose, and it should be to surpass those ghosts. Even if there is no Wang Zitong, I can't avoid the arrangement of fate.

Wang Zitong frowned, pursed his lips and thought about it: "Uncle, maybe we are not in the same car, but from different places. For some reason, we came to this world together. ”

"If I came with a purpose, what about you?" I asked.

"I don't know. Perhaps my job is to assist you. She said with a smile.

I shook my head and didn't speak, let's take it one step at a time.

In this labyrinth-like hotel, we walked around blindly, and overtook four "ghosts" with eight-character signs in a row.

Only the last cigarette was left in the cigarette case.

"Zitong, guess what will happen to the last ghost after we have overtaken the last ghost? Will you leave here? I said.

Wang Zitong frowned very cutely and thought: "Uncle, if it were according to my feelings, I don't think it would end so easily." The last ghost is probably more difficult than the previous one. ”

"You're such a crow's mouth." I sighed.

We walked for a long time and still didn't find a life-saving route. Sitting on the stairs resting, tired and tired. In this hellish place, there is not even saliva. Crucially, time cannot be measured. The watch stopped, the phone froze again, and as time went on, I felt that time was pressing, as if there was a timer in the dark that was strictly limiting our time.

While I was resting, Wang Zitong suddenly touched me and said in a panic: "Uncle, listen." ”

In the dark corridor, I listened intently, and there was a faint sound of footsteps from downstairs. I pulled her to stand up immediately, listened again, and sure enough, there were footsteps. The footsteps were heavy and slow, and they were pushing up and down, getting closer and closer, towards our level.

I motioned to Wang Zitong to turn off all the flashlights. It was suddenly dark in the hallway, and we quickly exited the security door of the hallway, hid behind the door, and looked out through the glass.

The footsteps, along the stairs, step by step, came up one step at a time, and soon reached the third floor. Then, without stopping, I started to go up again. In the silence of the night, the sound of the old wooden staircase was very harsh, and the sound was moving towards the ruin, but the speed was extremely slow. Wang Zitong held my hand tightly, and his palms were wet. We hid behind the glass, nervous.

At this time, at the corner of the dark staircase, a shadow faintly flickered. I watched with bated breath to see that beneath the shadow, something was jumping up. It was too dark to see what it was, but it had two extremely bright eyes, and in the darkness it looked like two shining gems.

Wang Zitong said "ah": "It's a black cat." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the door into the hallway, and I quickly followed. It was a black cat, about half a meter long, and it was black all around. Under the light of the flashlight, it shook its black fur, grinning at us, and its beard trembled slightly.

Wang Zitong still wanted to step forward and touch her, so I quickly grabbed her and whispered to her not to mess around. This cat makes me feel very uncomfortable.

The black cat came slowly with its teeth bared, and I pulled Wang Zitong to the side and looked at it intently. I was wondering what to do if it suddenly attacked. The cat walked past us, arched open the security door, and jumped three times and two times into the door. We walked to the door and saw the cat standing in place, staring at us with two bright eyes.

Wang Zitong whispered, "It seems to let us follow it." ”

The girl said, pushing the door open and entering. Sure enough, the cat turned around and slowly swayed in front of it. It walked around the hallway, and at last came to a room and leaped through the door. Wang Zitong and I followed in, and when we saw the cat standing on the broken windowsill, we looked back at us, and then jumped down. Wang Zitong let out an "ah" and pulled me to the window to look out. The black cat had already reached the downstairs, and its figure was scurrying towards the ancient building not far away.

The cat was the one who led the way. Outside this window, a safety staircase hangs all the way to the ground. The two of us slipped out of the window and cautiously descended the stairs to the first floor. At this time, the air is cold, the moonlight is dim, and everything around looks hazy.

We walked towards the ancient building. The surroundings are dark and chaotic. As far as the eye can see, there is only a tall building in front of you. When I got closer, I saw clearly that this building looks very much like an ancient tower, with a hexagonal shape around it, magnificent, carved eaves and dense eaves, and antique. Under the light of our flashlight, there are many stone carvings on the building, which are very exquisite, but a little creepy when you look closely.

The carvings on it are actually pictures of hell crucifixion. Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and hideous and miserable faces, I can't bear to see them. All kinds of torture, jumping and smiling imps, densely filled the wall, looking at the past, I don't know how many, the shock is indescribable.

"What the hell is this place?" Wang Zitong said with a trembling voice.

"Hell, perhaps." I said.

The black cat, standing at the door of the ancient tower, looked at us motionlessly. Wang Zitong and I walked inside and went straight into the tower. Entering the main hall, turning on the flashlight to shine, it is very empty, without any decoration and furnishings, and the strangest thing is that there is no staircase to the head.

If you don't have a staircase, how do you get to the top of the tower?

We walked around the main hall and did not find any signs of stairs. Is it already a dead end?

At this time, there was a cat meow, and we saw the black cat, standing in front of a black hole in the corner. I flashed my flashlight and saw that the hole was pitch black and deep, and I didn't know where it would go underground. The cat barked, jumped into the hole, and disappeared.

We walked over to see that there was a wooden staircase going down from the cave, and we didn't know where the road led.

"This should be the dungeon." I say.

"The dungeon?" Wang Zitong looked at me suspiciously.

"Ancient pagodas generally have underground palaces, which will store relics and ritual utensils of high monks. Famen Temple knows the way, Shaanxi Famen Temple. Below the ancient pagoda is the underground palace, which also houses the relics of the Buddha. ”

"Shall we go down then?" Wang Zitong asked.

I nodded: "This is the only way out, no matter what is down there, we have to take a look." ”

Determined to go down, Wang Zitong and I held hands and walked down the stairs cautiously. The staircase was bottomless, twisting and turning, with several twists and turns. There was silence around us, and we were cautious, slowing down our steps and not daring to make a sound. Walking in such a ghost place, it is inevitable that I am a little scared in my heart. I took my nerve and shone my flashlight as I walked.

As I walked, I suddenly felt a chill emanating from the deep darkness, which was a little chilling. Wang Zitong leaned close to me and spoke a little tremblingly: "Why, why is it so cold?" ”

The staircase turned several times in succession, and finally came to the bottom, where the staircase ended, and a short corridor appeared in front of me. It's very basic, and it's empty. We walked a short walk down the hallway, and we reached the end. There is a barbed wire gate, through which the flashlight shines in, and you can see what room is supposed to lead to a corridor with a corner.

I pushed the barbed wire door, but luckily it was unlocked and opened. Wang Zitong and I walked in.

When I entered this door, the temperature dropped more and more, and I couldn't stand the cold. We wrapped our clothes tightly, and white breath came out of our mouths as we spoke.

I came to the corner along the corridor inside, and was about to go in, Wang Zitong's flashlight illuminated something, and she exclaimed: "Uncle! ”

A white door appeared in front of us, and the door was covered with bright red charms, and the whole door looked like a red door at first glance. If you look closely at the flashlight, these spell patterns are like ghost paintings, some large and some small, densely arranged together, very penetrating.

Wang Zitong whispered: "Uncle, is it the fairy inside?" ”

"I don't know what to do." I say

She stared at the door, took a closer look, and said, "These spells seem to be Taoist. Isn't there a saying that Taoists have become immortals? I think the fairy is inside! ”

The more I pondered, the more I shuddered: "You mean to say that there is an immortal who created this Fang Shi Lu Realm in order to cultivate and become an immortal here?" ”

Wang Zitong nodded very seriously: "Yes." I've read this information before, and it seems that the only way to become a Da Luo Jin Immortal is to break the delusion. ”

"Delusion?" I wondered.

"Delusion is delusion. I can't say it either, it seems to be a kind of illusion. People who want to become immortals will be trapped in this illusion, and only by breaking through the delusion can they break through the bottleneck of becoming immortals. ”

I swallowed my saliva and said, "You mean, we're in a fairy realm right now?" ”

"I don't know what to say. There are Taoist charms in front of you, and legend says that there are gods living here. When the two are combined, that's what I guessed. ”

"Isn't it, just look at it." With that, I walked over to the door and gave it a gentle push.

We flashed the flashlight into it, which was okay not to look at, but when we looked at it, we were taken aback. I couldn't believe my eyes.
