Li Yang chuckled: "He's not a master, what is he doing here." ”

That person wasn't actually Master! What kind of person is Master? My eyelids were pounding, and the higher I went, the faster my heart beat and I was so nervous that I could barely breathe.

At the top of the stairs, Li Yang knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened. I walked in with him.

The room was quite large, seventy or eighty square meters, but it seemed very empty, with almost no furniture. Tatami mats are laid on the floor, and curtains are drawn on the windowsills, making it very dimly lit.

In the middle of the room, there was a shrine with three statues of Huang Cancan enshrined on it, and I tried hard to identify it, but I barely recognized one of them as Jigong, and the others did not know the way.

In front of the shrine was a large table covered with a yellow tablecloth, which was filled with things. There was a man standing at the table about 1.7 meters tall, looking very thin. My eyelids jumped, and from my back, this person felt like a big monkey.

"Master, they're here."

The man who opened the door to us was a little boy, about ten years old, with a bald head. He said to the man.

The man turned abruptly, he was dressed in a very old-fashioned suit, crumpled and earthy. has a small flat head, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks honest. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, in this atmosphere, I always feel that his eyes are weird, and the corners of his mouth seem to have a smile, which looks very gloomy.

I was watching, and suddenly there was a dull rolling thunder outside the window, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The light in the room has also become particularly poor.

The man walked up to us and smiled: "My surname is Xie, call me Master Xie." ”

I bowed down like Li Yang: "Thank you, Master." ”

Master Xie looked at us with a smile: "Don't be afraid, watching the falling yin won't hurt your primordial spirit, let's go to the underworld and come back." ”

This person, to be honest, gives me a very, very bad feeling, like a dark cloud of haze, I can't see through it, and I think it's very dangerous.

I mustered up the courage to say, "Master Xie, do you still need me to go to the underworld?" ”

Master Xie smiled: "If Ms. Tang can't go, I'll have to trouble you." Your name is Liu Yang, right? ”

"Yes."

He looked at me, didn't say anything, and went back to the table, holding the table with both hands, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in a trance.

Li Yang and I didn't dare to speak, the gloomy room was a little cool, and the difference in light was like a dark sky. The little boy sat in the corner of the room, as if meditating, with his hands folded on his lap, motionless.

The position he was sitting in was a toothache, and the cable of the electric light was right behind him. I wanted to pull it, but I didn't have the courage to shrink myself into the darkness.

There was an indescribable oppressive atmosphere in the room, like a swamp, and the silence was unbearable. I was like a bare-bottomed baby thrown into the savannah, and I felt that there was danger in this room.

I don't know how long the silence passed, but there was a knock on the door. Li Yang opened the door, and Li Damin's mother walked in.

She actually took off until she only had a set of underwear left! The long black hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders, covering his face, and his facial features were blurred.

It was cold in the room, and she couldn't help but hug her shoulders and shiver.

I looked at it and swallowed.

Master Xie clapped his hands. The little boy who was meditating opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the table, picked up the two yellow talismans on top of them, and placed them on the ground.

Master Xie's tone was gentle: "Ms. Tang, please stand on these two talismans." ”

Li Damin's mother was a little scared, but she still walked over and stood on it gently.

"Good. Hold your feet and sit down slowly. Master Xie said.

Li's mother sat on the tatami mat, holding her knees with her hands, and she could see that she was very nervous, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Master Xie came to the table, lit the lighter, and put the flame on the long-lasting lamp standing in front of the shrine, and the wick ignited at one point, slowly lighting up a bean of fire.

The lights were dim, emitting a pale yellow light, and the shadows of several of us were stretched long, refracting on the wall, forming a black shadow that seemed to be ghostly, and the room was so eerie that it felt like a chill was oozing from the cracks of the bones.

The little boy on the side suddenly made a sound similar to a country tune in his mouth: "Mm~~~Um~~~" is just a "um", because the tone of the pull is different, it sounds like a tune.

Accompanied by the song "Mmmm", Master Xie said to the ever-bright lamp, and there were words in his mouth: "A little bit of the Dao lamp, the immortal guard, teach the Three Treasures, and don't leak the spiritual world......"

He pronounced these words so quickly that they combined with the tone of the little boy to form a very strange song. The lights flickered, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.

After reciting the song, Master Xie lit three more long incense sticks, held them in both hands, bowed to the three statues, and then inserted the three long incense sticks in a red basin. The red pot was filled with a pot full of white flowers. With the burning of three incense sticks, a strange thing happened.

The pot of rice was slowly turning black, as if it had been burned by fire, and the speed that the eye could see was slowly expanding. Li Yang and I were so shocked that we looked at each other, we were really evil.

Master Xie suddenly pulled out the three incense sticks, the incense head was facing down, and on the yellow tabletop, he drew talismans in the air. His hands were extremely fast, and the cigarette was so tangled that it looked like a gray cloud. While drawing the talismans, he slowly chanted some incantation, and the words were fast and sticky, sounding like the dialect of that region in southern Fujian, and he couldn't understand a word.

The little boy took a wooden fish and knocked on it with Master Xie's incantation. The little mallet knocked on you was fast and fast, like a storm, but it was always able to match the rhythm of Master Xie's words, which was really rare.

After painting for a long time, Master Xie stopped the incense, reinserted it into the basin, and then picked up a red towel on the table, with a yellow charm on it, and handed it to Li Damin's mother: "Ms. Tang, please wrap a towel around your head and cover your eyes." ”

Li Damin's mother took it very reverently, slowly wrapped herself around, and the towels fell on the back of her head and tied them tightly in a knot.

To be honest, the atmosphere is extremely oppressive and treacherous, making people involuntarily breathe quickly and their hearts beat faster.

I wondered, could this be a very clever hypnotism? If it is really a scam, then this Master Xie is a superb magician, and his means of controlling the atmosphere of the scene can be called a master.

After doing all this, Master Xie took a pile of colorful dark coins, on which were painted the Jade Emperor or something. He smiled and said: "Go to the underworld, you have to fight some little ghosts, this is the money to buy the road." ”

He used his hand as a pen to draw some symbols on the coin. The whole person was engrossed in his attention, and although he couldn't understand what he wrote, he only felt that the room seemed to be surging with wind and clouds, and the ever-bright lamp on the table swayed like the wind blowing, and the lights flickered.

After painting, he handed the coin to Li Damin's mother and asked her to hold it tightly.

He took out a string of copper coins tied with red rope from his arms, grabbed one end, and let the string of coins hang in the air, slowly shaking from side to side. Then, throw the money on the table.

I counted them carefully, and there were six copper coins in total, forming a pattern on the table that resembled the Big Dipper.

As soon as Master Xie saw this pattern, his brows furrowed, and he muttered, "Unlucky, unlucky." ”

The little boy stopped the wooden fish and asked in a childish voice, "Master, didn't you do it today?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the others didn't say anything, and Li Damin's mother cried "wow": "Master, please save my son, I will go to the underworld to find him today no matter what." ”

"Don't cry." Master Xie touched her hair, his voice was really magical, and as soon as he said it, the woman stopped sobbing.

"Ms. Tang, you have to do a good job...... Mental preparation. Master Xie said.

"What preparation?" The woman asked.

"Prepare to go to the underworld and not come back." Hearing Master Xie's words, my hairs stood on end and my teeth rattled. If you can't come back, fools know what the result will be if you can't come back to the underworld.

"I ...... Don't be afraid ......" Li Damin's mother's voice was weak, but her tone was resolute.

"Okay." Master Xie sighed, came behind Li Damin's mother, stretched out his right palm and gently covered her back. He closed his eyes slightly, and began to chant a mantra in his mouth.

The little boy knocked on the wooden fish and began to circle the two of them.

Li Yang and I involuntarily retreated backwards until we reached the wall. Both of us subconsciously felt that the farther away from this creepy scene, the better.

Master Xie raised his right hand, and his fingers kept changing, forming one unbelievable gesture after another.

Li Yang's face lit up and whispered to me, "This is a Taoist mudra." ”

An extremely terrifying scene appeared, as Master Xie's handprint changed, Li Damin's mother began to fluctuate, her whole body trembled like a sheep's madness, and her feet kept patting the two talismans on the ground.

The little boy Muyu struck faster and faster, and the frequency of his walking increased, and he recited scriptures in his mouth, and his voice became louder and louder.

Li Damin's mother suddenly screamed: "There is a light." I saw two figures approaching. ”

Master Xie waved his hand, motioned for the little boy to stop the wooden fish, and asked gently, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"I can't see clearly. It was just two vague figures swaying there. They, they seemed to let me follow. ”

Master Xie said, "Follow, they are ghosts, help you go to the underworld." ”

Subsequently, Li Damin's mother did not speak for a long time, and her body was not as shaky as she began to be, so she tightly wrapped her knees and sat there motionless.

Master Xie and the little boy stood quietly next to each other and did not talk to each other. Li Yang and I had nothing to say, and watched with wide eyes.

It took about twenty minutes for the woman to suddenly say, "There is a house...... The doors are open...... The two figures walked in. Master, will I go in too? ”

Master Xie asked, "What kind of house is that?" “

"High walls and thick tiles, they should be red! The wall is very long, and there seems to be a large courtyard inside, like a house in ancient Jiangnan. ”

"Okay, now you can go in with you, there should be no danger." Master Xie said softly.

The woman's breathing was slightly rapid, and it sounded like she was walking a long way.

"Master, I came in, and inside was a very big courtyard, full of trees, so beautiful. Those two men have entered the hall, and I will go in too. ”

With her description, I also seemed to enter the mysterious realm of the underworld.

The room was silent, and only the slight "crackling" sound of the lights burning could be heard.

"The hall was empty, and I couldn't see anyone. Hey, I saw the figure waving at the back door, I'm going to pass. ”

"Wow, it's so beautiful, it turns out that the backyard is full of colorful flowers and trees, with red flowers and white flowers, and it looks like a big garden."

As soon as she said this, Master Xie coughed: "Ms. Tang, every tree in the garden here is a human spirit. You have to find your son's tree and see what his primordial spirit looks like. ”

"But there are so many trees, where can I find them?"

"There must be a way, do you see an old woman?" Master Xie asked.

"Ah, I saw an old lady in black, bent over and sweeping the yard. Can I find her? ”

"Yes, look for her, she is in charge of the original god."

Then there was silence.

“…… The old grandmother leads the way, and it gets deeper and deeper, a bit like a forest. I really didn't expect this yard to be so big, and I didn't get there after walking for a long time. How could the primordial god of the people be hidden so deeply? She muttered to herself.

"It was getting darker and darker, and I was walking on a place that looked very much like a tree-lined path, lined with towering trees. It's just that the big trees here no longer have beautiful flowers, and they are all withered yellow leaves, as if they have entered autumn. ”

"The old grandmother is standing in front of a tree, oh my God, is this the original god of the great people? The tree was short and small, with empty branches and leaves falling below. Woo woo......" The woman cried: "Damin, is this really you, what's wrong with you?" ”

Master Xie's face was terrible and gloomy.

Li Yang plucked up his courage and asked, "Master, Li Damin has nothing to do, right?" ”

Master Xie said, "As long as you can find the Yuan Shen in this courtyard, it means that this person is still alive in the world." ”

"Ahh I exclaimed: "So, Li Damin is not in the underworld, he is not dead?" ”

Master Xie walked around the ground twice, and at some point he had an extra rosary in his hand, and he quickly twisted the beads on it.

"His Tree of the Primordial God has withered and fallen, and if he doesn't save him in time, I'm afraid he will really die." Master Xie said.

The woman whimpered and cried: "Master, you have to save him." ”

Master Xie sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save him, but I don't know where he is now." It seems that there is only one way to go. Li Yang, did you take the painting I asked you to bring? “

Li Yang hurriedly said: "I brought it, in the car below." I'll go get it. With that, he pushed open the door and ran out quickly.

Master Xie placed a few handprints behind the woman, closed them with one hand, and suddenly retracted: "Come back!" ”

The woman responded, her body went limp, and she fell on the tatami mat.

Master Xie didn't look at me, and made a move: "Liu Yang, come over and help, help me hold her." ”

I hurriedly agreed, walked over and crouched down, and helped the weak woman up. Her forehead, front of her heart, and back were soaked with sweat, and her hair stuck to her forehead one by one, and her body was soft and boneless, lying soft in my arms. I looked down and saw that her chest was high up, and two red dots were clearly raised.

I couldn't help blushing and my heart was beating, and suddenly my ears were hot, and I felt that something was wrong, and when I looked up, I saw Master Xie looking at me. This man's eyes were very thief, his expression was indescribably mysterious, he squinted his eyes and asked me, "Is it good-looking?" ”

When he said this, my face turned even redder, and I felt a lot of anger, as if I had stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Master Xie squatted next to me and looked me in the eye: "Things started because of you, and they will end up with you." ”

I looked at him.

He said slowly: "After a while, you will be the beggar." ”
