Chapter 44: Wanying Palace
Li Yang looked at the lake, it was very quiet, and the sun was shining brightly on his head. The sun makes people feel a little hot, dizzy, and a little sleepy. The surface of the water was sparkling, reflecting rays of light, and Li Yang looked at it for a while, and he was a little dizzy.
Li Yang saw the copper lock yawning constantly, and knew that he felt the same as himself.
The wooden oars became heavier and heavier in the hands of the two of them, and they were so weak that they could barely row. At this time, Liu Yang actually curled up to the bottom of the boat, with a bitter face: "I'm a little uncomfortable, take a rest first." ”
The two rowed for a while, and the small wooden boat barely reached the center of the reservoir. Looking around, the vast water, the sparkling golden snake dancing wildly on the water surface, there is the illusion of entering the Jedi.
Li Yang bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and his whole body was excited: "It's not good, copper lock, this place is inherently evil, will we fall into evil, and we will never be able to draw a line again." ”
Copper lock looked at Liu Yang, who was pale, and was also a little worried. He stood up, raised his eyes into the distance, pointed to the sanatorium and said fiercely: "I don't believe that it can't be drawn, let's go all out and don't stop." ”
The two of them grabbed the oars and tried their best to row to death, and the boat staggered and swam to the opposite shore.
paddling and paddling, I heard Liu Yang moan. The strength of the two also reached a bottleneck, so they had to stop and rest. The copper lock helped Liu Yang up: "Old Liu, if you insist on it, you will soon reach the other side, just go ashore." ”
Li Yang unhurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to the copper lock. The copper lock glared at him: "When are you still pumping." ”
Li Yang smiled: "You see you are scared like that." Smoking a bag of cigarettes refreshes the mind, and all poisons do not invade. He lit a cigarette and took a puff, approached Liu Yang, and spit out a puff of smoke in his face. Liu Yang coughed a few times, but still closed his eyes tightly, and his whole body trembled.
Copper Lock said worriedly: "We're still reckless, he won't really fall for evil, right?" ”
At this time, Liu Yang suddenly opened his eyes without warning and looked directly at the two of them: "Copper Lock, Li Yang......"
The two looked at each other, leaned over and said, "We're here." ”
"I have a story about Hades, would you like to hear it?" Liu Yang said.
Li Yang and Tong Suo looked at each other, although the sun was shining now, and it was sunny and white, but the two of them suddenly didn't know what to do, and suddenly there was a kind of eerie chill.
Li Yang smoked a cigarette and said, "Okay, you say." ”
Liu Yang said: "In which era and region, there is a great director who has filmed a series of super-experience stories. There are five movies in this series, and there is only one theme, the underworld. The first story is called the Mushroom Man ......"
"Stop!" Copper Lock shouted, "Don't talk about it. ”
Liu Yang, who was in a daze, was also obedient, and if he was not allowed to speak, he would not speak. The copper lock was in a cold sweat, and he wiped his forehead: "Something is wrong, something is wrong, how can I panic." Now is not the time to tell a story, hurry to the shore and talk about it. ”
Li Yangzheng listened attentively and carefully, and then he reacted, and the two stepped up their rowing, controlling the boat to sway, and finally reached the opposite shore.
The two of them hurriedly jumped from the boat to the shore, their shoes and trouser legs wet. They pulled the boat ashore and tied the cable to the tree. When this was done, I sat on the grass with my ass and sweated profusely.
Looking at this quiet lake, there is a feeling of the rest of my life. Copper Lock said: "Damn, it's so dangerous. This river crossing experience can be ranked in the top 10 of our expedition career. ”
"You'd better think about what to do when you go back." The cigarette in Li Yang's mouth hasn't fallen yet.
Copper lock scolded: "Can you die if you don't splash cold water?" Can you die? ”
Li Yang didn't have the heart to argue with him, walked to the side of the boat, and dragged Liu Yang out. The two of them raised their heads one and raised their feet, and walked up more than ten meters along the shore before they panted and put the person down.
The copper lock clothes were soaked with sweat, and he stood in the shade of the tree and stuck out his tongue and sighed: "Since Liu Yang, this kid has been mentally ill, and he has grown in the amount of food, and he has gained more than ten catties of weight than before." It's really a lot of fun for mentally handicapped children. ”
"You'll lose it." Li Yang pinched Liu Yang's acupoint.
For a long time, Liu Yang turned around and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although his face was still a little pale, his spirit was much better. He sat down against the trunk of the tree, gasping for air.
"Lao Liu, why did you want to tell us a story just now?" Copper Lock asked.
Liu Yang looked confused: "Story? What's the story? ”
"It's called 'Tales of Hades.'" Copper lock said: "You just talk about the beginning, say that there is a big director who has made a series of films, a total of five, the first one is called Mushroom Man." ”
"What's that? Mushroom people? Liu Yang's eyes widened, and his face turned even paler, as if he had heard something extremely unbelievable.
Li Yang saw that something was wrong, so he sat next to Liu Yang and told the scene on the boat just now.
Liu Yang fainted, holding on to the trunk of the tree, and was so uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Li Yang asked.
Liu Yang said: "I once told you about my experience during this period, and I found Li Damin for what I wanted, and the opportunity was for Li Damin to decipher Sun Ami's manuscript. He deciphered the manuscript and mailed it to me. ”
"Hmm." Li Yang and Copper Lock listened quietly.
"Do you know what the manuscript is about, the whole manuscript tells the story of the five underworlds? The first story is ...... "Mushroom Man". ”
Li Yang and Copper Lock looked at each other.
Liu Yang continued: "You guys are right that you didn't listen to it just now, this series of "Tales of the Underworld" is cursed, and whoever listens to it is unlucky. I became like this, Li Damin became very ghostly, and Xu Tong was even more miserable, and his family was ruined. ”
Copper lock said: "I always feel that something is wrong......"
Li Yang said: "Lao Liu, you said that these five stories appeared in Sun Ami's manuscript, but when you were on the boat, you added such a prefix in front of the story, 'In which era and region, there is a great director who has filmed a series of super experience stories. In Sun Ami's time, there could be no film director. So is this "Story of the Hades" written by Sun Ami, or was it filmed by the director? ”
"I don't know what to do." Liu Yang smiled bitterly.
The copper lock said: "Liu Yang is stupid now, and he can't remember anything. What's the point of you pursuing this. ”
"No," Li Yang extinguished the cigarette butt: "I always feel that this is not simple, and it is likely to be related to the real origin of this cursed "Tale of the Hades". ”
He was stunned: "I suddenly had a lot of ideas, but they were all illusory. Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Lao Liu, can you walk? We can't rest here all the time. ”
Liu Yang shook his head: "It's okay, let's go." ”
The three of them walked up the hillside, where there was an artificial gravel path, paved with great care, that stretched from the shore to the sanatorium in the woods.
After walking for about ten minutes, I arrived in front of the sanatorium. This sanatorium is renovated in the middle of the mountains and rivers, surrounded by the wind, the green trees are verdant, and a large area of the woods is flattened as a settlement, surrounded by green grass and flowers, and the air is fragrant when you smell it.
The whole sanatorium is built in a modern Western style, mainly in creamy white tones, surrounded by fine black bricks, spired towers, and a large clock walking on top of the time. There is an illusion that I have arrived in the realm of Western Elysium like Europe.
The sanatorium is like a manor, completely open, and you can see some people walking around in white practice clothes in the garden. The whole environment is extremely quiet, and there are no fierce security guards and big wolf dogs.
The three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke, although the environment was so peaceful at this time, it made people feel that they didn't know what to do. The heart is like being hung by something, and it is extremely unsteady.
Since you're here, you have to go in. The opinion of the copper lock is not to enter through the main entrance, but to enter through the wall from the back, which can be safer. Li Yang said that it is still bright and bright, a nursing home like this must be full of cameras, sneakily going in and being discovered, not to mention, but also falling behind. Let's be generous and see what's so greasy.
The three of them walked through the door and walked towards the main building of the nursing home. No one stopped them, and the people in the garden were all basking in the sun and chatting without looking at them.
When the three of them arrived in front of the main building, they suddenly noticed that something was wrong. In front of the building, there are many sycamores, tall trees connected together, lush, and dense foliage completely block the sun. It makes the atmosphere here cloudy, the cold wind gusts, and the whole body is cold, and the sun outside is two different feelings.
Entering the main building lobby, there is a large area inside, and only a few people are resting on the benches. These people were all wearing uniform white practice clothes, some men and some women, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
The copper lock touched the two of them and whispered, "Look at their hearts." ”
In the heart of these people's practice clothes, there are signs with very rich colors and delicate brushstrokes, and it is not clear what the pattern is from a distance.
The copper lock looked at it curiously, and suddenly pointed to an old man not far away and said, "Why is this person so familiar, it seems that he has seen it somewhere." ”
Li Yang made a gesture of silence.
The atmosphere here is indeed strange, and the three of them can't say anything is wrong. While he was hesitating, a woman came around the corner. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress like a gray robe, with a bun on her head, her eyes were expressionless, and she walked up to the three of them and arched her hand: "The three of you are polite." ”
Li Yang also learned to bow his hand: "Be polite and polite." ”
The woman looked at the three of them, and suddenly pointed with her hand: "You are Liu Yang." ”
Liu Yang hurriedly gave up his hand: "Do you know me?" ”
The woman's originally cold face suddenly smiled, her eyes were very soft, and goosebumps rose on Liu Yang's back when she saw it.
"The three of you came to find the Bell Unlocking Master who came over a few days ago?"
This woman is completely uneasy about the routine and playing cards, and when she comes up, she is called breaking the motive. The three of them glanced at each other, Li Yang coughed, and had to answer: "Exactly." ”
The woman said: "The three of them are also considered to be friends of the Middle Dao, especially Liu Yang, who is related to us. The dean had expected everyone to come, so please come with me. ”
They followed the woman to the back, through the main building. At the back is a lawn garden, with several buildings arranged at intervals, which is very clean and stylish. The woman led the three of them down a path around the lawn into a building. As soon as they entered, the three of them were stunned.
The interior of the building has changed dramatically. The outside is still in the European and Western style, but when you go inside, you find that there is a temple hidden in the building.
The temple in the building is not unusual, but the triple hall in front and back of the temple in front of you fits perfectly with the internal space of the whole building, and it is like a gear stuck together, and it looks like a special design.
Moreover, the style of this temple is different from that of traditional Chinese temples. The traditional temple has a magnificent hall, with blue bricks and yellow tiles, revealing a bright and bright hall. The temple that appeared in front of me was very low because it was repaired in the building, and it could not receive the sunlight from the outside. In order to replenish the light source, what to do, there are lanterns hanging under the eaves of the temple. The lanterns are lit all year round, and the light emitted reflects the color of the temple bricks and tiles, which is different from the brightness and ambiguity. At first glance, it looks a bit like the temple style of Theravada Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
There was no incense at the entrance of the temple, only people wearing white practice clothes were seen coming in and out of it with expressionless faces.
"Here?" Li Yang asked.
"This is Wanying Palace, the three of you will know when you go in and have a look." The woman said.
When I came to the entrance of the temple, I felt a trace of yin qi coming out of it, and my cold hairs stood on end. Looking inside from the door, the lights were dim, and the people in white were shuttling back and forth, like ghosts in the middle of the night. This temple is said to be small in size, but at this time, it is gloomy and can't see the end, which is really weird and inexplicable.
Copper lock suddenly screamed, grabbed the two of them and whispered, "Damn, I remember who that old man is." ”
