I visually measured the length of the dry part of the rope and calculated that the water was about three meters away from us.

"Go down and have a look?"

"Go down and have a look?"

Xiao Hei and I said in unison.

Although I don't know what's in the pit, since I'm here, there's no reason why I can't go down.

"Do you go down first or do I go first?" Xiao Hei asked.

Without thinking, I reached out and grabbed the rope and said with a smile, "I'll go down first." ”

"Why?" Xiao Hei also held the rope and stared at me tightly, "I let you go to Meishan last time, this time you just let me." ”

Although Xiao Bai said that the evil ghost was not at home, no one knew if there were other dangerous things in the pit, Xiao Hei was such an ordinary person, I naturally couldn't let him take risks, so he said: "Do you have a talisman?" ”

"Lend me." Xiao Hei stretched out his hand without thinking.

I knocked off his outstretched palms, grabbed the rope, stood on the edge of the pit, and said, "Don't fight with me." ”

"After all, I'm a dying person, so what's the point of taking some risks?" I said to myself.

Xiao Hei knew that he couldn't compete with me, so he didn't say anything, I grabbed the rope and looked back at the deep pit below, only to see that it was dark and secluded, like a terrifying mouth.

I took a deep breath and was about to go down, when Xiaobai's voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "There is something strange down there!" ”

I stiffened, and I stood there still.

Xiao Hei was beside me, and I couldn't open my mouth to ask, so I only heard Xiao Bai continue: "I feel a strange aura below, something familiar, but I'm not sure what it is." ”

"Is it dangerous?" I asked.

"What?" Xiao Hei's puzzled voice sounded.

Xiaobai replied, "I don't know about this...... You better not go down yet. ”

Xiaobai also felt a strange aura that was not clear, what was it? When she said this, I was a little apprehensive, but in that apprehension, I was a little curious.

"Chen Shen, are you scared? Let me do it. "I stood still for a little longer, which caught Black's attention.

"It's fine." I shook my head, bit the flashlight with my mouth, and slid down the rope into the pit.

You still have to go down and have a look, so that you can be willing.

As soon as I entered the deep pit, a deep chill came to my face, and I couldn't help but shiver, and there seemed to be a cold feeling in the depths of my body.

The walls of the pit are covered with moss and are extremely slippery to the touch, and the walls of the pit are made of stones, which do not look like natural formations, but are made of artificial masonry the day after tomorrow.

If this deep pit is dug by hand, in the depths of this big mountain, who would be so painful to dig a big pit out?

What is this pit for? When is it used in a well?

Suppressing this doubt in my mind, I slipped down a little further.

As soon as the soles of my feet got wet, my feet were immersed in the water, and a deep chill made me immediately withdraw my feet.

This water is so cold!

I looked back, and under the bright light of the flashlight, the water in the pit was glowing dark, and I couldn't see the bottom, I didn't know how deep. There are some dead branches and leaves floating on the water...... A dead chicken.

Looking at the dead chicken, I recalled what Wu Xiao told me, saying that there was a pheasant in her house that was lost, and she went out to look for it, and then she was ghosted.

Could it be that the dead chicken in front of him was raised by Wu Xiao's family? This rope was also left by her?

Fortunately, the water temperature was very low, and the chicken, which had been dead for an unknown amount of time, did not emit much of a stench.

Xiaobai said that this is the ghost's hometown, where is it? Under the water, or ......

I withdrew my gaze and searched the walls of the pit.

After a while, I made a discovery.

The pit wall was covered with moss, a faint green color, but somewhere on the pit wall, a large patch of moss had been destroyed, revealing the black stone bricks inside.

There's quirkiness there! I swung slowly, then touched the black stone brick with my hand.

"Count the third piece on the right-hand side." Xiaobai's voice suddenly sounded.

I looked over, and where Xiaobai said, a stone brick protruded slightly.

"There's something wrong with this stone." I whispered, and I didn't know if I was telling it to myself or to Xiaobai.

I reached out and grabbed the brick and pushed it in, but the brick didn't move.

Is it pulling out? I tried it, and pulled out the stone brick in one fell swoop.

After the stone bricks were pulled out, a hole appeared in the pit wall.

"And then, Xiaobai?" Although the stone bricks were pulled out, there was still no movement around.

"You put your hand in and take a look." Xiaobai said.

Because I had to grasp the rope with one hand, I could only throw away the stone bricks in my hand, and I put my hand into the hole that appeared because the stone bricks were pulled out, and then I touched a stone ring, and pulled it with my hand, and after a loud rumbling sound, the stones on the pit wall in front of me parted, and a hole in the wall of a meter square appeared.

It is not quite accurate to say that it is a hole, because it is boxy, and more than a meter into the pit wall is a stone wall. To be more accurate, it looks like a closet made of stone.

"What's going on?" I thought there must be something amazing behind such a mechanism, but I was dumbfounded, because the 'closet' was empty, and there was nothing.

"This is the demon's hometown, I'm sure." Xiaobai said, "And ......"

"And what?"

"There's something familiar to me here, just faint."

I reached into the 'closet' and groped up and down, only touching the mud in one hand, and making sure there was nothing in it.

"I didn't expect that evil ghost to choose such a place to live, it seems that I still don't know enough about the habits of ghosts!" I shook my head as I reached out and tugged at the stone ring from before, and the stone bricks on both sides of the closet slowly closed.

It's a clever move, but what's the point?

I was thinking about this boring question when I suddenly heard a strange quarrel in my ears.

The sound came from the pit, and I was worried about Blackie, so I quickly climbed up.

"Uncle, I'm really not a poacher! I was just...... Lost! ”

"You're a liar?! I don't think you're a good person! Don't talk nonsense, come with me! ”

As soon as I climbed out of the pit and stood on the ground, I heard this conversation.

"Blackie!" As soon as I shouted, I was greeted by a bright light.

My eyes were so white that I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Good guy, it turned out to be a joint crime, don't move, otherwise I won't be polite to you!" The voice was full of energy, and it sounded like thunder in the silence of the mountain forest.

After a while, the light moved away, and I gradually saw that a meter in front of Xiao Hei's body, there was a man standing, wearing a protective suit, a helmet, and a flashlight tied to his head, which was glowing brightly.

I got closer and saw that the man's face was a little old, and he was holding a wooden stick the thickness of an arm, and he was looking at me and Xiao Hei with an angry face.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Xiao Hei pointed at the old man and said, "The rangers of this mountain forest regard us as poachers. ”

I was secretly relieved: it turned out to be a forest ranger, and I thought I had run into a bandit.

"Don't talk nonsense, follow me!" The old man raised the wooden stick in his hand and pointed at me and Xiao Hei and said.

I squeezed out a smile, walked up to him, and said sincerely: "Uncle, we are not poachers, you see that the two of us are bare-handed and have nothing to bring, how can we be poachers?" ”

The old man looked at me and Xiao Hei, his expression was still stern: "You are not poachers, how can you be here on this big night?" ”

It's hard to explain, and Hei and I are silent.

"Say! What is the real purpose of your big night hike?! "The old man's voice was so loud that it made my ears ring.

I was a little annoyed by his loud voice, and replied lightly: "Ghost hunting." ”

I originally thought that my answer would attract the roar of the old man, but I didn't expect that after hearing my answer, his expression changed and became a little strange.

"You ...... Is it a Taoist priest? He asked.

I was stunned, I couldn't imagine his reaction.

Xiao Hei and I were stunned there, and the old man's gaze turned, and suddenly fixed somewhere.

"You ...... It's really here to catch ...... Hell? His voice trembled.

I followed his gaze and saw that the pit where his gaze fell.

I saw that his eyes were straight and his expression was different, and although I didn't know why, I knew that things were turning around, so I said, "Of course." ”

The old man walked to the edge of the pit, looked inside, and then came back to look at me and Xiao Hei, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face and some fear: "You... Did you catch the ghost you caught? ”

I shook my head and said, "We let it run away during the day, and we found its nest, but we didn't expect it to be there." ”

The old man stretched out his trembling fingers, pointed to the pit and said, "You... Was the ghost you want to catch in the first place? ”

"Yes! Uncle, how do you know? "I have some doubts in my heart, could it be that the ranger in front of me is a hidden master, and he can see at a glance that there are ghosts in this deep pit?

The old man trembled and muttered, "Come out, come out!" It's out again! ……”

Xiao Hei approached the old man and asked, "What's coming out again?" ”

"Hell!" The old man whispered, looked at me again, and then clutched the stick in his hand.

"Uncle, do you know the origin of that ghost?" Looking at the old man's series of reactions, I can already be sure that he must know the origin of the evil ghost.

"Of course I do!" The old man said with emotion, "I saw this big hole, I helped dig it back then." That damn demon, which I also watched with my own eyes, was locked up below. ”

My heart was shocked, it turned out that there was such a reason.

"But...... The Taoist said back then that the evil ghost would never come up with it...... Why have only been decades...... And it came out? ......" the old man frowned and whispered to himself.

"Uncle, can you tell us about the events of the year?" I looked at him and said.

The old man looked up at me and Xiao Hei: "Who are you?" Why do you know that there are ghosts here? ”

I touched my nose and said seriously, "Because that ghost came to provoke us first." ”

"You have the ability to catch ghosts?"

"Of course."

The old man was silent for a while, then stood up: "Okay, you come with me, and I will tell you the origin of that ghost." ”
