"Hu Die, a person with good luck, bought a broken book, and was able to go to her level, her life can be regarded as a magnificent life, reaching a height that many people can't reach, and many people can't see the scenery. It's just that she failed in the end, maybe it's really like Hu Die said, that book is still more suitable for men, so I always thought that she passed on the mantle to you, but I guessed wrong. That's right, this road is not easy to walk, and a carefree life as an ordinary person may be her greatest wish for her younger generations. ”

After reading the text messages, one question after another jumped out.

'What is that book?' Could it be the strange book? ’

'Does the mantle refer to the Shentai store or what?' ’

'Grandma has so many mysterious pasts, but why don't they seem to know anything about it? ’

'How the hell did Grandma die?' Didn't he die because he was old and had multiple organ failures? ’

After thinking for a while, Zhou Weimin continued to ask, "What kind of book is that book?" ”

Hearing Zhou Weimin's question, the old woman was a little ridiculous, she shook her head and quickly sent a text message.

"That's her biggest secret, no one knows, it's just that when she first set foot on this road, she didn't know much about the real situation on the back side of this world, asked questions everywhere, and made friends randomly, so she revealed that the sources of her advanced rituals were all from a broken book called "City God Sutra", and then suffered a few losses, and your grandmother was a lot more cautious."

Zhou Weimin pretended not to know, but in fact, his heart had turned over and over. Although he didn't remember the complete content of that scripture, he clearly remembered that there was a part in the middle that should be the content of the City God Sutra.

I remember that when he was a child, he used to be curious to arrange according to the rituals described in that book.

He drew an equilateral triangle with a ruler on the ground, lit a candle at each of the three corners, and then lit gold paint on his forehead, and lay down in the center of the triangle with three lit incense sticks in his hand.

In the end, he kept silently chanting 'Supreme Xuanhuang Chengtian Jianguo Ascension Blessing Lingyou King', until the incense stick is burned, and the door of the Qi realm will be opened.

Whether it was gold lacquer or incense, it was readily available in the Shentai store, so he quickly prepared it, but when he just lay down, he was discovered by his grandmother.

That time was the only time his grandmother beat him, and even told him not to engage in such strange things in the future while beating him back.

Pulling his thoughts away from his memories, Zhou Weimin frowned, and he continued to ask, "Do you know what my grandmother died for?" ”

The old woman shook her head, and she replied: "Your grandmother is very smart, and she usually only stays on this side, even if she enters the Qi realm, she is very cautious, if it weren't for your grandmother who saved me, and I am indeed very close to her, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to know her name." ”

"I only know so much about her, but a few years ago, your grandmother told me that she wanted to try again, whether she could break through the limits of the person, so she spent a lot of effort to find materials, and then not long ago, she came here through the Qi Realm, burned this house to me, and taught me how to burn things for myself, and the other is to send me a new set of shrines, and I haven't been in touch since then, so I don't know if she really died because of failure."

"Like your grandmother, you can enjoy your old age in peace, and the half-dead people you just saw are not ghosts and ghosts, and they are miserable. It was also your grandmother's kindness that didn't restrain them. ”

It seems that there is no way to get an answer to this question, and Zhou Weimin doesn't know what to continue asking, so he began to be silent at the moment, just burying his head in burning paper money, and when the time comes, he will leave here immediately.

After more than ten minutes, the old woman couldn't hold back and sent another text message.

"Aren't you curious about the back of this world? Don't you want to inherit your grandmother's mantle? ”

Although I don't know why this old woman suddenly changed from not wanting Zhou Weimin to have contact with this place again to constantly trying to arouse his interest, Zhou Weimin shook her head decisively.

There are some doubts that he will try to find out the truth when he goes back, but at present, under the premise of not having any self-protection ability, he does not want to have too much to do with this old woman. Even after so long, recalling those things that happened before, he was still in a trance.

However, the next moment he suddenly had a question: "Why can't I make outgoing calls on my mobile phone, but I can receive your text messages again?" ”

"This house is actually at the junction of reality and the Qi realm, if it weren't for the power of the bone bead, you wouldn't be able to open that door. In the Qi Realm, all modern technology cannot be used, and this house is my territory, so I can naturally text you as I want. ”

For the Qi world mentioned many times, it directly touched Zhou Weimin's nerves, and he couldn't help but think back to what happened when he was a child again, and his heart was even a little eager to try.

There was no more communication, just the paper money was constantly folded and put into the brazier, and after a while, the clock on the second floor rang again, and nine o'clock came.

"They'll be gone in half an hour, right?" Zhou Weimin stood up, his legs were numb from squatting, and he got up to move.

After such a long time, the fear in his heart had been completely suppressed, and he even had the leisure to move his numb legs, walked back to the kitchen, and looked out the window again.

The outside was still the same as before, no change at all, but he would not dare to open the door recklessly.

After moving a little and feeling that the blood circulation was smooth, Zhou Weimin walked back to the brazier and picked up the mobile phone, but there was no text message.

The old woman nodded at him, and the next second she poked the send button lightly.

The phone screen is densely packed with words, even exceeding the length of a text message, divided into two.

"I want to make a swap with you. For so many years, except for Hu Die, no living person has ever come to see me, if you can, I hope you can burn something for me when you are okay like your grandmother, in exchange, if you change your mind in the future and want to inherit your grandmother's mantle, I think I can still help you a lot. Whether it's a secret recipe or a material or a refined secret medicine, I will try my best to help you find it, or provide you with clues. ”

"I can also provide you with a lot of experience, after all, I have witnessed your grandmother's growth again and again. If one day, you can reach the height of your grandmother, you can help me take my sister away, or just end her pain. I couldn't bear to watch her go on like this, day after day, year after year. ”

"Since the village chief got the page of the book about the way of ghosts, everyone began to try, and at the beginning everyone's soul has grown a lot, never forgetting, not sleeping for a few days and not sleepy, the brain is spinning fast, and so on, so that everyone is immersed in it, but the side effect is that people like it more and more, and their personalities are becoming more and more withdrawn."

Later, the village chief spent a lot of money to find the secret recipe for the advancement of the second person of the way of ghosts. The village chief used the identity of a self-employed person to search everywhere, found a lot of materials, and refined them into secret recipes. He was a remarkable man, he experimented with himself, and it was successful at first, and the village chief gained even more magical powers, and it seemed to us that his soul could leave the body and go up to heaven and earth, almost anything. So everyone swallowed the secret medicine. ”

But the village chief gradually discovered that his strength was a little out of control, and his soul would often unconsciously break free from the shackles of his body, and sometimes he began to stimulate himself with pain according to the secret recipe, so that his soul and body could stabilize. At first, it was still effective, but later, the initial pain could no longer meet the needs, and began to develop into various torture instruments, and even some people did not dare to attack themselves, so they could only torture each other. ”

"In the end, everyone went mad, digging out their hearts and lungs in search of deeper pain, and even had their heads cut open with an axe, like my sister, and for years and years, her soul bound to the village had to endure this pain every day. I hope you can help her out. ”

The old woman looked at Zhou Weimin silently, and only after he had read all the contents of the text message did she turn around and continue to burn paper money.

The two text messages unveiled the mystery of Xiayang Village, and also made Zhou Weimin gasp a few times, only then did he understand why there were troops involved at that time, and even the entire village was directly abandoned.

It is conceivable what kind of hell the village was like at that time, and it is no wonder that except for the older generation, the young people still vaguely remember that there is such a place as Xiayang Village.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Weimin said: "When it's okay, cook something for you, this is not a big problem, as for other things, I can't help at the moment, if there is a chance in the future, or if I have the ability, I will help you." ”

The heavy truth once again made Zhou Weimin fall into silence, he had never imagined that there were such secrets in this world.

While burning paper money, staring at the time, the time slowly climbed to half past nine, and Zhou Weimin stood up with relief.

"Old woman. Can I go now? ”

Standing behind the door, Zhou Weimin hesitated to open the door directly.

The old woman came over, twisted the doorknob, and pushed the two gates open with all her might, and the village outside the door was back to normal, and it looked dead again.

No longer hesitated, Zhou Weimin ran a few steps, got into the cab, ignited, started, and stepped on the door in one go.

Quickly driving to the entrance of the village, Zhou Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, and through the reflector, he vaguely saw a reddish-brown figure standing on a ruin and waving to him.
