The man was walking slowly with a long stick, and under his feet was a large shadow resembling a corpse. He walks slowly, giving us the impression that he is thinking as he goes.

Poplar and Poplar Lin are young people after all, and they have never seen anything like this. The two of them discussed in a low voice whether this would be a unique illusion used by Ma Danlong to blempty when he walked the rivers and lakes.

Yang Muyun didn't speak, frowned, and looked very carefully.

The thin man walking on the wall walked and walked, only to see a figure following behind him at some point. At first, it was just one or two, but later there were more and more shadows joining the team. We looked closely, and only then did we get a clue that the shadows that were following were all standing up from the ground. In other words, there were many corpses on top of each other on the ground, and when the thin man walked by, a figure would stand out of the corpse and follow him.

The big black shadow behind it is strange to say, they are all Luo Guo. Hunched on his back, as if he was carrying something very heavy. The walking posture is very rickety, and it looks weird. It's just one of them, and these hunchbacked Luo pots are actually in groups, and there can be tens of thousands.

The thin man walked slowly, and behind him at a distance was the strange Luo Guo shadow. This group of people walked silently, like shadow puppets on the wall, reflecting the swaying red lanterns, and the atmosphere was very terrifying and treacherous.

The next scene changed again, and the black shadow on the wall conjured up a large old house. Judging from the structure of this house, it is very old, and I don't know what dynasty. In this house, there is a small person, sitting behind the desk, copying a brush and not knowing what is written. This person writes calmly, undisturbed by external objects, and is unusually focused.

At that moment, the door opened, and a dark figure entered. This black shadow is similar to what I saw just now, it is also hunchbacked, holding a Luo pot, and came to the table. The person who wrote stopped his pen, gently stroked the desk with his hand, and then moved his hands left and right on the case, tossing up and down. I looked at it for a while, and then I realized that he was dialing the abacus.

Abacus? I immediately thought of the abacus beads in Ma Danlong's hand. Could it be that this scene in front of you is the underworld? Who is the one who is going to dish?

As he turned the abacus, a puff of smoke came out of the hunchbacked man's cauldron. The release of this smoke made the Luo pot smaller and smaller, and the hunchbacked man gradually straightened his waist.

With the flip of the abacus, the smoke became more and more abundant. Not only is the pot smaller, but the whole person also gradually dissipates with the smoke, and there is no trace of the last one. It's empty, and it seems that no one has been here at all.

Outside the gate, another Luo pot walked in, and the man continued to dial the abacus, and the scene was the same as the previous Luo pot, he also turned into a puff of black smoke and dispersed.

We were looking at it intently, and suddenly there was a flower in front of us, and the wall was back to its original state. Ma Danlong stood up and walked over: "How is it, how are you, how many people, take a closer look?" ”

"Master Ma, what happened just now?" Yang Lin humbly asked.

"Oh, do you know what the Abacus is used for in the underworld?" Ma Danlong asked.

We shook our heads, indicating that we didn't know what to say.

He said: "The meaning of the abacus is to liquidate the sins and good deeds of your life, and to calculate them clearly for you one by one, and the Lord of Yama will keep all the accounts. Everyone knows what should be rewarded and punished. The god of the underworld who is in charge of the abacus is called 'Death is participatory', that is, black impermanence. The first thing you saw was a mountain of bones, and there was a thin man in it, and it was black and impermanent. He walked among the corpses of the yang world, and went down to the underworld with the souls of the dead. ”

"What's going on with those pots?" I asked.

Ma Danlong said: "Every dead soul is a Luo pot, and that Luo pot is burdened with all kinds of sins and debts during life. The more you owe, the bigger and heavier the pot becomes. When can I put it down? Only after the black impermanence turned the abacus of the underworld to liquidate, the Luo pot naturally turned into black smoke. Of course, this soul was also marked into a book accordingly, and entered the corresponding Yama Hall to be punished. ”

Yang Shu and Yang Lin looked at each other, their eyes a little apprehensive. After getting in touch with them, I have some understanding of their backgrounds. Both of them had the experience of studying abroad and were in higher education. What Ma Danlong said was a bit too mysterious, and it was obviously contrary to their view of the world, and it was indeed suspicious.

Ma Danlong put the beads in his arms, and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Yang, you and I are acquainted." I have something to advise you. I don't know what you're doing, but I'm sure you're going to do something dangerous, so stop it as soon as possible, don't wait until it gets out of control, and the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Yang Muyun smiled and nodded: "Bear it in mind." ”

Ma Danlong shook his head and walked out, and I hurriedly chased him out: "Master Ma, take a step slowly, I have something to ask." ”

"Please." Ma Danlong stopped.

"Master Ma, do you often go to the yin?" I asked.

Ma Danlong smiled slightly: "What are you asking about this?" Yes, I often go to the underworld, that is, to the underworld. ”

"What does the underworld look like in the underworld?" I asked.

Ma Danlong looked at me, and suddenly smiled: "I can't say this." ”

"Taboo? Can't you casually reveal the situation in the underworld to the people in the yang world? I asked.

Ma Danlong smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes: "There is no taboo." It's like when you travel to the United States and the Americans ask you what China is like, you can talk about it casually. I can't say what I mean, because I can't describe Hades exactly. He paused and said, "The underworld I told you about is only the underworld I saw." What the real underworld is like, I don't know what the way is. ”

He said it in a way that sounded like he was discussing philosophical issues, and what you see is what you get.

I didn't have time to cross with him, and said, "Then tell me about the underworld in your eyes." ”

Ma Danlong thought about it and shook his head: "I can't say." It's not that I dare not say it, but I really can't say it. When I have the opportunity, I will take you on a trip to the yin, and you will understand if you empathize with it. ”

I pouted in my heart, I haven't been before.

"Master Ma, to be honest, I had another thing from the underworld some time ago by chance." As soon as I finished speaking, Ma Danlong's eyes suddenly widened and he asked what was going on.

I made up a lie that I once saw a strange man on the recommendation of a friend, and he had a red tassel from the mirror of the underworld. Then I told me about the appearance of the red tassel and the strange visions it caused.

Ma Danlong subconsciously reached out and touched the abacus beads in his arms, a little distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master Ma, what do you mean by these things from the underworld suddenly running to the yang world?" I asked.

Ma Danlong's face looked very solemn, patted me, and secretly made a look: "Xiao Liu, I admire you very much, I will give you a piece of advice, don't get involved with Yang Muyun and others, something big is going to happen." ”

"What's the big deal?" I asked anxiously.

Ma Danlong said: "Hades, something may have happened in Hades!" You shouldn't ask about this, hurry up, get out of here, and go home! ”

With that, he hurried away.

Yang Lin walked up to me and pouted: "What did he say, the gods are chattering." ”

I looked at him and said, "He said something happened to the underworld, and advised me to hurry home." ”

Yang Lin laughed: "If something happens in the underworld, we should have a dick relationship, just don't mess up in the yang." After saying that, he still felt quite humorous and complacent.

I asked Yang Muyun, where did He Ping get this abacus bead? Yang Muyun shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation. You can only go there and ask those who are with you. ”

Yang Muyun asked me how my foot injury was, and I jumped twice and said it was okay. Yang Muyun said, you have two days off. Departing two days later.

In the past two days, I couldn't sleep well in the villa, so I called Wang Xiaoyu when I had nothing to do, but I never got through. Two days later, at the gate of the villa, a large jeep was prepared, and the rear compartment was filled with equipment.

I also changed into a suit, a jacket, hiking boots, cotton socks and thin gloves. In addition to Yang Lin and me, there were two big men wearing sunglasses and short-sleeved T-shirts, who looked like experienced field experts.

Just as I was about to board the bus, Ma Danlong came in from outside the villa with an apple and saw me at a glance. He is an old Jianghu, looking at my outfit, he immediately thought of something, and his face was suddenly ugly.

I'm a little embarrassed, Ma Danlong, as an old friend, once persuaded me to leave here, but not only did I not listen, but now I have to charge to the front line.

Ma Danlong threw the half-eaten apple into the garbage can, shook his head, stopped looking at me, and slowly walked towards the villa.

Yang Lin looked at his back and sneered: "This old guy is really a character, he has been eating and drinking in the villa for almost a month." I've never seen anyone so thick-skinned. Not only did he not take the initiative to go, but he also lived in a good place. ”

I don't want to make any comments about Ma Danlong behind my back, I close my eyes and pretend to sleep.

Yang Lin saw that I didn't speak, so he didn't say anything anymore.

After the car departed, another person was picked up on the way, and some supplies and rest were done. Two days later, we entered the Xing'anling jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province. When you get there, you're basically covered with mountains. After a long time, I entered a mountain forest. The mountain roads are rugged, uneven, and many of them are winding mountain roads, which have only been opened in recent years, and are full of potholes. Next to the car is a deep cliff, look down, the bottom is not visible, the fog is steaming, it is really thrilling.

After running around a mountain beam for another two hours, a mountain village appeared in front of me. This village is surrounded by mountains, facing green mountains and blue sky, and several wooden tile houses are connected, which looks like a country full of fun.

Before we reached the entrance of the village, we saw that there were many field tents in the open space of the village, and they were full of flowers. There were several jeeps parked outside the tent, and I was suddenly excited, and I was about to see Wang Xiaoyu.

When you get to the entrance of the village, stop the car. A few of us got out of the car and walked over, but unexpectedly the tent was empty, and there was no one. Yang Lin and the big guys checked around the tent one by one, and there was indeed no one.

We stopped and looked around, and the village road was dead silent and empty. The wind blows the white mist in the Xixi mountain wind, and the mountain village looms, which looks very secretive.
