At midnight I followed him into the town, and it was so quiet that it felt like it was just me and him.

At last he led me into a courtyard gate, through two courtyards, and finally to a room in the depths, where I saw that the lights were dimly lit from the outside, and he stopped at the door and said, "He is already waiting inside, so I will not follow you in." ”

With that, he left first. I then pushed open the door and went into the house, and when the door was opened, the candles inside put out all over me, and the first thing I saw was the lit candlestick, and there were three candlesticks in it, which was the only thing that could be lit in the whole room, and then I saw a Taishi chair not far from the candlestick, but the Taishi chair was empty, but it was still shaking, as if there were people on it just now.

I scanned the room, and the whole room was in the style of the Republic of China. It made me feel like I was back in time, and soon I saw a guy standing and he said, "You're finally here." ”

After saying that, he turned his head, but to my surprise, he was wearing a mask, reflecting a cold silver light, I could only tell from his slender figure that he was a man, and I was not sure what age he was, because the silver mask on his face covered his entire face.

He then said to me, "You're finally here." ”

He said "with" the word "finally", as if to tell me that I was going to be here in the end, so I asked him, "Who are you?" ”

He said: "Everyone likes to ask 'who are you' when they see me, but these people usually don't even understand who they are, so they start asking who others are. ”

When I heard him answer me like this, I looked at him, and it was clear that he was saying this to me, and when he saw that I didn't speak, he said again, "So your question should not be 'who are you,' but 'who am I,' and that's why you're here today." ”

When he said this, I thought that he might be the one who was behind Xue Fang in Jiang's mouth, so I replied, "I don't know. ”

But he said, "Usually not knowing is the beginning of the search, and if you come here, it means that you are already thinking about it." Or rather, I've been guiding you through this question. ”

It was only when I heard him say this last sentence that I suddenly realized. It turned out that he was the one who helped me behind the scenes, so I blurted out: "You are the one who recruited me to the underworld!" ”

He acquiesced, and then asked me a question: "Then have you ever thought about why I should help you recruit you to the underworld?" ”

I've thought about this question. But there was no answer, so I said, "I don't know." ”

He said: "From the time we talked until now, you have said 'I don't know' twice, but you don't know. Still reluctant to think. ”

I wanted to say something, but he put up his index finger and made a "shhh" gesture to me, and then he said, "Don't rush to answer, not every question can be answered instantly, and if you don't think about it, then you will never know what you are looking for and why you were born here." ”

Every word he said was so profound that it was difficult for me to understand for a while, so I fell silent and said, "You have brought Jiang's ghost seal, give it to me." ”

When I heard this, I gave him Jiang's ghost seal, and after he got it, he said, "I didn't expect it." It all started with it. ”

After saying that, he took out a box to put the ghost seal in, and I saw that the box he took out was exactly the same as the fake little wooden box I had seen, and I thought to myself. Could it be that this is the real box, it turned out to be in Xuejia Town.

He put the ghost seal away and said, "This thing will be safer to keep it here for me, after all, it is Jiang's thing." Someday it will be returned to him, but not yet. ”

I didn't understand something, so I asked, "Why?" ”

He said: "Because the current Jiang is not Jiang yet." ”

He seems to know everything. But everything was playing dumb riddles, and I couldn't understand what he was saying for a while, so I had to fall silent, and he said, "Sit down, it's time to talk about our business." ”

I sat down at the table, and he poured me a cup of tea, handed it to me and said, "Let's have a cup of tea first, I'm sure you've not had a good time." ”

I don't know what he meant by smooth, but I thought my arrival was quite smooth, and there were basically no twists and turns, but he looked at me. I could only see part of his eyes, not even completely, his expression was completely obscured behind the silver mask, I drank half a cup of tea and asked him, "Why are you wearing a mask?" ”

He replied to me directly: "Because I can't be recognized, that's why I'm hiding in Xuejia Town, and you may then ask me why I'm hiding in Xuejia Town, because Xue Geng is a credible person." ”

He was completely silent again until I was thinking about something, and I didn't know what to say next, but he didn't care about the silence, but asked me, "What is the thing that baffles you the most?" ”

When it comes to confusing things, there are too many, and I just feel that everything around me is very confusing, and there is no answer at all, but he emphasized one sentence and said, "The one thing that confuses you the most." ”

I sifted through all the puzzled questions in my mind, and finally chose one after a few choices, and I didn't know if it was right or not, so I said, "My grandfather's note, what exactly was written in the last one." ”

My words seemed a little unexpected, and he asked me rhetorically, "What do you think is the most confusing thing for you?" ”

In the face of his rhetorical question, I seemed to hear the slightest inappropriateness in his voice, so I nodded in lieu of answer. But he said, "This is the thing that baffles you the most." ”

When I heard him say this, I asked, "What do you think is the most perplexing thing about me?" ”

I think this is what he calls the main question, but since he asked this question in vain, I looked at him, and he replied to me: "Your grandfather has not given you the answer to this question a long time ago, but you have not been enlightened." ”

I looked at him with a different look, and he looked at me, but his eyes were bright. Then I said, "Under Grandpa's bed!" ”

Grandpa said this is what I thought my uncle and I found, so grandpa's yin and yang handwriting is under his bed, after learning this fact. I was a little flustered, and I didn't even know if my grandmother had discovered it.

The person on the other side didn't care about this, but continued to ask me, "So the thing that baffles you the most is not so confusing." ”

I looked at him and asked him, "Don't you want to know what secrets of the underworld are recorded in the last part of that notebook?" ”

I saw him shake his head slowly. I asked, "Why?" ”

He said, "Because I'm not confused by this, let's move on to the question just now, since your answer just now is not the answer, what is your answer now, the thing that confuses you the most." ”

When he asked me again, I didn't know what I was most confused about, I just felt that there was a big question mark in my mind, and I just looked at him. He also looked at me, waiting for my answer, and I moved my lips to say something, but the words reached my throat and swallowed again.

I put all the questions in my head again, sifted through them again, and finally said, "Just like you asked at the beginning, who am I?" ”

He looked at me and didn't speak, and after a long time he looked away, poured me another cup of tea, and said, "It doesn't seem to be time yet." ”

I couldn't understand his headless words, and he pushed the poured tea in front of me, and I saw the tea in the teacup swaying like a well full of water.

Then I looked at him like I thought of something.
