I heard that Xue Fang had already said the important point, so I asked, "What is the secret?" ”

Xue Fang looked at me for a long time before he said, "The dead will come back to life in the Eighteen Graveyards, and besides, the Eighteen Graveyards are not the world of the dead, there are people there. ”

Xue Fang's statement is no less than returning all my cognition to zero in an instant, the end of the underworld is the eighteen cemeteries, but the eighteen cemeteries are not the final destination of the souls, so what kind of place is it?

But that's all Xue Fang could tell me, he said that since the collapse of the tomb tower, it has become a completely forbidden place, and anyone who tries to enter the Eighteen Cemeteries in vain will disappear into the Eighteen Cemeteries. Even the few people who have been there are very secretive about the word Eighteen Cemeteries, and they will not mention the slightest word at all.

Xue Fang had never been to the Eighteen Cemetery himself, but he said that his subconscious mind told him that it was an extremely dangerous place. He had to stay away from there, which is why he never wanted to go to the Eighteen Cemetery, and when the whole thing developed here, new questions began to arise again, that is, whether it was Lihuai, or Linglong, or even Jiang, why did they all want to go to the Eighteen Cemetery so eagerly, and what did they want to do there?

Xue Fang said to me: "I don't know what you think, but my advice to you is that the Eighteen Cemeteries is a place that cannot be touched at all, and anyone who provokes it there." It doesn't end well. ”

Xue Fang's words were already very serious, and he was obviously reminding me of this, so I said, "I won't rush to that place." ”

Xue Fang said: "But what worries me now is that if you don't go, someone wants you to go, what happened just now is a very good example, you are invisibly being guided to the eighteen cemeteries, and you are even doing things that you don't even know about." ”

Xue Fang kept looking at me when he said this, and I said, "But I can't avoid it, once I get to the dream, I'm in the dream, and I can't control what I can dream about." ”

Xue Fang didn't speak anymore, he didn't seem to have the slightest way to deal with the dream, and in the end he could only say: "It seems that it can only be fate." ”

Because of the incident just now, I have some psychological shadows in my heart, and at the same time, I also know that I am not the only one in this family, Xue Fang, and I am also more vigilant in my heart. Although this man secretly helped me just now, I still don't know if he is friend or foe, and what is the purpose behind it, I wonder if he is a good type. And why are you trapped in the coffin of life and death all the time?

Later, Xue Fang and I came to the attic of the North Wing, because we came back for two things, one was to find Grandpa's handwriting. The other is to open the wooden cabinet upstairs in the north wing to see what is inside.

When Xue Fang and I entered the chamber, we found that the door of the north wing room was open, that is, the lock had been opened, so we went upstairs, and after arriving upstairs, there was no difference between the top and my impression, as for the coffin, we didn't pay attention to it, but went directly to the side of the cabinet on the wall, the cabinet was still locked, and the lock was difficult to open at a glance. As for the key, it seems that there is none.

After that, Xue Fang found something to smash the lock open, and the moment I opened the cabinet door, I took a deep breath until the wooden cabinet was opened, only to see that there was an empty layer inside, and there was only one thing in the huge wooden cabinet, such a thing I have seen, it was the pure black stone bead that I saw my uncle pick up from the ground that day.

When I saw this stone bead, I couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this thing?" ”

Xue Fang didn't speak, but reached out and picked up the stone beads, and said, "The material is like obsidian." ”

As he spoke, he took it and looked at it carefully, as if trying to see what was going on, and when I saw it, I remembered nothing but the night I was discharged. Instead of giving me any hints, this stuff made me even more confused.

Xue Fang then gave me this stone bead, I held it in my hand, I only felt very heavy and cold, like an ice lump, but the bead was unusually round, and the black color was very round, not an ordinary item.

I then asked Xue Fang, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Xue Fang frowned and said, "I haven't seen anything like this before. ”

I remember that when my uncle picked it up, it was as if he had suddenly remembered something, and I don't know what he remembered, and I never had a chance to ask again.

I couldn't see anything after holding it for a while. I put the stone beads back and closed the door of the cabinet, and what I was thinking about at this time was what my grandmother had said that this cabinet should not be opened, no matter what happened. Now that I've opened it, I'm even more confused, why?

I felt a little disappointed, as if I didn't get what I wanted to know, or because I had too high expectations, so I couldn't accept the gap.

Since I knew that the old mansion was safe for the time being, Xue Fang and I didn't have such scruples, plus the rush for days, I went to bed earlier, but what surprised me that night was that Xue Fang was gone.

His disappearance was the same as Eleven's disappearance, and he disappeared without warning, and I didn't find out until the next morning, when I thought he might have gone somewhere. But the next evening, I began to realize that maybe he wasn't here since last night.

So where did he go?

The only thing I could think of was the stone bead in the cabinet, I saw Xue Fang looking at it very carefully, some subtle expressions may be that I didn't pay too much attention to it, after realizing this, I went upstairs to the north wing to open the wooden cabinet, but saw that the stone bead inside was really gone, but there was a note left in the cabinet, I picked it up. I saw two lines of words on it:

Ugly time

Xue Fang

When I saw this note, my first reaction was that it was left by Xue Fang, but I became suspicious of the note he left, where did he go. Why did he leave only the message of the word "ugly time", and not more, what did he want to tell me through the hour of "ugly time"?

At this moment, I was even more convinced that he had disappeared because he had found the black stone bead, so I didn't get any clues from the stone bead. Instead, it reminded him of something?

I put the note away and looked upstairs before coming downstairs, wondering what would happen when I was ugly, and it was between two and three o'clock in the morning, and although it was a very strange time, what else was hidden in this hour?

So I stayed up and waited for the ugly time to come, but until the ugly time passed, and even at dawn nothing happened. The old mansion is still the old mansion, I didn't notice anything abnormal, I was afraid that I missed something, and even looked at the whole old mansion when I was ugly. Still nothing happened.

Did I misunderstand?

Immediately, I fell into doubt, or what Xue Fang wanted to tell me was not the hour of the ugly time, but something else?

What's more, since that day, Xue Fang seems to have completely disappeared, there is no trace of him, I live alone in the old mansion, I can even say that I am the only one in the whole village, I have been out during the day, the whole village has completely become a dead village, that weird and terrifying feeling can not be described in words.

And I knew I couldn't leave, and even more, I had nowhere else to go.

And I went to the abandoned temple where my grandmother would burn paper money, where there are still ashes of paper money burned by my grandmother, but the statue seat is empty and there is nothing, and there is no trace of the white paper man at all, it seems that this is just a very ordinary dilapidated temple, and there is nothing strange about it.

I wandered around it for a while, and I didn't find anything before I was about to leave, but just as I was about to leave, I seemed to find something.
