Chapter XXXVII
At that time, everyone only thought that what Wang Zitong said was a joke. Now that she's missing and doesn't know where she is, maybe she's serious.
In the Yin Temple of Yuncun, the police and Wang Zitong's family went back and forth I don't know how many times. No definite clues were found to prove that this temple had anything to do with Wang Zitong's disappearance. However, there is one strange place, the police found some discarded yellow charms and candles in the remote part of the apse of the Yin Temple, as well as a broken porcelain plate. After identification, this small and delicate porcelain plate has a great origin, and it is a prop specially used by the saucer immortals.
Although these things were found, it was not certain that they were left by Wang Zitong. Such a freshman girl, she didn't see anyone alive or dead, she disappeared all at once. Wu Lan mobilized the whole family to print a missing person notice and post it all over the street, but half a month has passed, and there are no clues. Many have speculated that it is unlikely that Wang Zitong will survive.
Wu Lan heard that Granny Bai in Gaoshan Village was very high and very powerful, so she made a special trip to ask for help.
I comforted her that if she could really find her daughter in that world this time, she would definitely find a way to bring her back. Wu Lan thanked me for her kindness, and she didn't let go of her hand when she took me, and she didn't regard me as a benefactor.
I said that, but my heart was uneasy. This time, let alone other people, whether I can come back smoothly or not is between the two, it is really unreliable.
After the weekend, I was absent-mindedly mixing time in the unit, and Liang Zhiwu suddenly said: "Liu Yang, I'm afraid I can't go to the yin this time." ”
As he said this, I was lying on a broken couch reading a book when I sat up abruptly. These days, we have gone through a lot of dangerous and strange things together, and I have a special bottom in my heart when I am with him. When he said this suddenly, he was really not mentally prepared at all.
"For what?" I asked.
Liang Wei paced back and forth, and said slowly: "If the yin goes well, rescue Wang Xiaoyu, and you will be good." You don't have to mix the rest of the things. ”
"Do you still suspect that I have a plot against you?" I frowned.
Liang Wu smiled: "Don't think about it." ”
My heart suddenly moved: "Are you going to find Director Ma?" ”
Liang Wu said: "The root of everything is in that cave, and it must be solved clearly to avoid the birth of other similar tragic things." Think about it, Tong San, Xing Hong, Wang Xiaoyu...... There may be other people, these ring-by-ring, ring-fluctuating nodes, the ultimate source is in the cave. I'm going to fix it......"
I don't know what to say.
Liang said: "If I am missing and gone, don't look for me." You're living a good life. Stay away from this muddy water. ”
"What about your parents? Haven't you thought about them? I said.
Liang was stunned by one sentence, and he stood in front of the window and didn't speak for a long time. Seeing him like this, I suddenly thought of something about him. When we were in school, sometimes when we encountered major exams or bad weather, other students were escorted by their parents, but Liang Jiwu has always been alone, and I remember that he has never met his parents.
Liang joined our school halfway through. I vaguely heard other classmates say that he has been living at his grandfather's house, and his parents are engaged in geological work and wandering in other places all the year round. Anyway, I've never seen his family in all these years. Liang was always a loner and never invited his classmates to his house.
I thought about it, but I didn't have a clue, so I gave up. After all, this is people's privacy, and they have no right to intervene.
I promised him and solemnly said that after going to the yin to save the soul, I would never interfere again.
On this night, Liang Wuwu completely disappeared. Turn off your phone. When he went to work the next day, he didn't come, and his breath seemed to be floating in the empty library.
Just as he was melancholy, he suddenly received a call from Li Yang, and he and Tongsuo had come to the county seat thousands of miles away.
I can't care about work, and the depression brought by Liang Jiwu was also thrown aside, and the door of the library was locked, who do I love, Lao Tzu got off work.
When they arrived, they were drinking coffee in the coffee house under the county hotel. These two boys, wearing brand new coats, look like dusty people. Also, it was originally in the south, but now I was called here by a phone call in the cold wind, and the clothes must not be prepared, and they looked newly bought.
My heart is warm. No matter what you say, when you encounter difficulties, these two masters don't have any excuses, and they kill them as soon as possible, which shows this affection.
I was in a hurry to enter the door, and my feet were weak and I almost fell. The copper lock was sitting opposite, and when he saw me, he smiled: "Yo you, Lao Liu, don't kneel, I can't afford to make such a big gift." ”
I smiled and gave me a hug.
Let me look at Li Yang, this kid is also Sven now, with glasses, his face is ruddy, and he is pretending to be a master with a smile, looking like he is underbeaten. He stirred the coffee slowly: "Lao Liu, we didn't come here in vain, do you have to explain things clearly as compensation." ”
"By the way, how do I calculate the copyright fee? What you write is my real life. I said.
Li Yang smiled: "It's good that I didn't give you a big mouth." In Hangzhou, we are playing in the mountains and rivers, and the beauties are like clouds, just for you, we left everything to come to such a place where birds don't. You have to tell the story from beginning to end, or I won't spare you. ”
"It's a long story, it's a bit complicated." I say.
Li Yang said: "What I want is complexity, and simple is boring." ”
I told the story of Tong San's robbery all the way to the end of the yin, and they were dumbfounded. This process is not short, it probably took more than an hour to talk, and my throat smoked. During the whole process, Li Yang and Tong Suo did not say a word, and they were fascinated by it.
After hearing this, the copper lock breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "The place where you are going to go to Yin is the world realm created by Peng Liang?" ”
I nodded: "Originally, I thought that I would never cross paths with him again in this life." Who would have thought that it was really fateful. ”
Li Yang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Why do I think that our big brother Peng has a connection with that mysterious cave? ”
We look at him.
Li Yang poured out some sugar, picked up a small pile with his fingers and put it in the center of the table: "This is Brother Peng." Then, he gently scooped out a few piles from them with a spoon: "This is what is known so far, and several people who are related to him, Wang Xiaoyu, Xing Hong, and Wang Zitong." Among them, Wang Xiaoyu is one of the people who have been to the scene of the exploration cave, Xing Hong recruits ghosts with the help of Brother Peng's power of the ghost king, and Xing Hong's daughter has a relationship with Tong San, Tong San has also explored the cave, this is a whole Obilus circle. Although I don't know what the connection is here, I definitely have a gut feeling that it is. ”
Don't say it, Li Yang is Li Yang, and he will be able to analyze his debut right away.
Li Yang took a sip of coffee: "Tong San is very interesting. He was originally an ordinary gangster, he dropped out of school at an early age, and he didn't learn or know how to do it, so he fooled around on the street, but after a cave exploration, he learned the art of ghost cultivation. And it's very powerful.,Can raise ghosts and draw talismans.,The last thing is to borrow the body to cultivate.,Reborn as a man.。 I want to ask, is this still him? ”
"What do you mean?" I could hear it.
"I always feel that a person will not change so much for no reason, and there is only one explanation for this phenomenon." Li Yang said slowly.
I scratched the wall anxiously, and the copper lock smiled: "These suspense writers will sell off, and they won't say anything well." It's a occupational disease, and it needs to be cured. ”
Li Yang smiled: "A more reasonable explanation is that Tong San is no longer Tong San, it's something else!" ”
"Something else?" I blinked.
Li Yang said: "Although we haven't seen that cave and haven't entered it, we can still deduce some clues with clues. I have this assumption that Tong San entered the cave, and when he came out again, he was no longer him. Or to be more precise, he is only partially him. ”
Copper lock slapped his thigh: "I understand, snatching and possession? ”
"Yes!" Li Yang said: "After Tong San entered the cave, he was likely to be taken away or possessed by something inside. In other words, he brought out what was underneath. Maybe that thing only belongs to that world, but let them break through like this and bring that thing to the human world. ”
I was thrilled and quickly said, "No, no. Before Tong San, earlier, Shi Dakai and the old man had gone in, why didn't they bring out that thing, but let Tong San bring it out? ”
Li Yang glanced at me and said meaningfully, "How do you know that Lu Dao Shi Dakai and the old man didn't bring it out?" ”
After saying this, my whole body was confused, and my brain was buzzing.
Li Yang said word by word: "How do you know that Shi Dakai and the old man after the cave are still the original Shi Dakai and the old man?!" ”
I swallowed and shook my head bitterly, "I still think your reasoning is too far-fetched. How did that thing get brought out one after another? ”
Li Yang said: "Let's make a bold assumption, what if there are a lot of things, like parasites? If you go in to a person, you will parasitize one. Tong San borrowed rebirth, could it be a form in the process of change after the 'parasite' parasitized the human body? ”
I smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "You really deserve to write novels, you can really think about it, I am convinced." There is a big contradiction in your conclusion. ”
Li Yang made a gesture of deferential listening.
"Tong San used his mother to rebirth, so what about the old man? What about Shi Dakai? There is no record in the history books that they had such a change in form. I said.
Li Yang said: "If there is no record in the history books, it may not have happened in real life. You and I know how history books are smeared and written blindly. Besides, maybe because of the difference in individual constitution, there will be different morphological changes? For example, Tong San is reborn, and if I am infected, I will become more desired, and I will keep playing with women, which is also a physiological change, but it is more subtle. What's more, the body has not changed, but the soul has been completely transformed by the seizure, so it is even more invisible. Inconsistent words and deeds, perverse behavior, and unbelievable things, aren't these all changes? ”
What he said made us think of the old man.
Li Yang said: "I will summarize it in more rigorous language. The cavern hides a mysterious power that transforms the visitor's body or soul into a different kind of person. And this kind of power does not belong to the category of science, and has a great connection with the ghost realm of the underworld. It seems that there are only two ways to solve this mystery. One is to explore the caves, which we see with our own eyes; The second one depends on you, Lao Liu. You have to go into the ghost realm and ask the ghost king what is going on. ”
