Hit the yin and yang road

Chen Qingdai, the president of the Taoist Association, mentioned the Wuliang Yin Mansion, and after explaining it, he mentioned the business. It was indeed as Du Shuo said, asking ten young celestial masters to be selected from among the many celestial masters to enter the Wu Liang Yin Mansion to transcend the source of resentment.He said: "The source of resentment is neither a person nor a ghost. It has no true identity and is ever-changing. It always wants to escape from the shackles, and it is very cunning. You need to distinguish which is the source."

Someone asked: "How to tell?"

Chen Qingdai said: "There is no way to distinguish it. But it will definitely appear around you, and you need to find it from the strangers around you."

Chen Yang asked Du Shuo in a low voice: "Is there really no way to tell? In that case, wouldn't the Celestial Master be very dangerous? Or do you want to doubt everyone who appears around you?"

Du Shuo only said: "The most normal is the biggest problem."

"??" Chen Yang: "What do you mean?"

Du Shuo: "Hint."

Chen Yang thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of reminder Du Shuo's words implied. When he looked up, he heard Chen Qingdai reading the list of celestial masters who needed to enter Wuliang Yin's House.Those who think about it need to stand up.

"Director of the Dafu branch, Chen Yang." Chen Yang stood up, "Kou Xuanling, the successor of Beitianshi Taoism, and Zhang Qiudao, the successor of Tianshi Taoism." Kou Xuanling and Zhang Qiudao stood up and lined up on both sides of Chen Yang.Chen Qingdai raised his eyes, looked at the three of them kindly, and read again: "Mao Xiaoying, the successor of the Maoshan School, Ziyang Palace—"

Mao Xiaoying is Mao Xiaoli's eldest brother. He became enlightened around the age of 30. He is a leader among the younger generation of the Mao family of the Maoshan School, with a calm and reliable personality.After Zhang Qiudao thought for a moment and whispered something to Chen Yang, the two exchanged places.Then exchanged places with Kou Xuanling in a whisper, until he stood beside Mao Xiaoying and greeted him.

Chen Yang: "Build a good relationship with my brother-in-law first, so that it will be easier to pick up my sister in the future." Kou Xuanling commented: "Scheming."

Ten young celestial masters quickly came out and stood in the middle of the back hall.The celestial masters of the older generation stared at them, the celestial masters who had already been to Wuliang's Yin Mansion blessed them, and the celestial masters who had not yet qualified to go looked at them with envy.Chen Qingdai said: "You are all excellent celestial masters. The purpose of this trip is to seal the Yin Mansion without beams, but it is not a task that must be completed. Safety is the most important thing, and you should do what you can. The Taoist Association will give each of you a treasure talisman. If your life is in danger, you must crush the treasure talisman and leave the Wuliang Yin House. Remember."

Chen Yang, together with the other nine celestial masters, responded seriously to Chen Qingdai's ardent exhortation, and then Chen Qingdai personally handed over the treasure talisman to each celestial master.Before handing over the treasure talisman to them, they have to check it in person, in case there is a mistake in the treasure talisman and the celestial master falls.Until the treasure talisman is handed over to the young celestial master, he still has to earnestly advise, remember to do what you can.

After the treasure talisman was in hand, the celestial masters left the stage.Since entering Wuliang's Yin Mansion had to be done at midnight, the crowd dispersed quickly.Chen Qingdai was walking with the other vice presidents, and he wanted to call Du Shuo over, but it was not easy to disturb him when he was with Chen Yang.Ma Shanfeng and his wife are old friends, so it's natural for old friends to get together when they meet.

When Zhang Qiudao returned home, he had to go to his elders to report his safety, and then he was dragged away by his brothers and sisters and did not meet again until midnight.Together with Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling, soon only Chen Yang, Dushuo, Kaixuan and Wawa were left.

Wei Xuan hugged the doll and asked, "Can't I go in with you?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Kaixuan is not a celestial master, so he can't."

"Sneak in?"

"That's not OK."

Wei Xuan sighed: "Then I can only wait outside for Chen Xiaoyang."

Chen Yang stroked Kai Xuan's hair: "I'll be fine." After speaking, he looked up at Du Shuo: "Right?"

Du Shuo: "Yeah." After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Yang smiled reassuringly.

At midnight, the full moon was even brighter than last night.Accompanied by Du Shuo, Chen Yang walked into the team of celestial masters. Chen Qingdai and other celestial masters led them silently through the promenade, medicine garden, astrology platform and other places to the Dharma altar.The altar is a place to worship the gods, with red walls, green tiles, carved railings and jade bricks, shaped like a courtyard.There are three halls built, which are divided into main hall, east hall and west hall, and nearly two hundred statues of gods and generals are enshrined respectively.

Chen Qingdai stepped into the main hall, where 130 statues of heavenly soldiers and generals were displayed, lifelike and majestic with glaring eyes.As soon as you step into the main hall, you will unconsciously hold your breath when you see these gods, and you will feel reverence in your heart.Pass through the main hall, bypass the statue, and reach the huge wing room behind. There is no wooden furniture in the wing room, only dozens of futons are neatly placed on the ground.

The only ornate decoration was a wall directly in front, which was about five meters long and four meters high.On the wall is a complex relief of a house, which is very real. There are ten houses in total, each five stories high, and each house is connected by a bridge, making the dozen houses form a whole.There are countless overlapping rooms, and there are looming figures in each house.Realistic gorgeous, shocking.

Du Shuo whispered in Chen Yang's ear, "This is the Wuliang Yin House."

Chen Yang had already guessed in his heart that the whole relief was extremely gorgeous but had a kind of permeating coldness.The looming figure inside seemed to be watching the people standing outside indifferently through the relief. As soon as he came in and faced the front relief, he seemed to be in a trance as if he saw the fire spreading, and countless black shadows rushed to him in front of him.After a closer look, I realized that it was just a relief.

Chen Qingdai pointed to the houses on the relief and said: "This is the Yin House without Beams." He pointed to an unfinished house at the end of the relief on the front and said: "Originally there were only three Yin Houses without beams, but later it was increased to ten. Look at the unfinished house at the end, that is the house built by the house without beams. The house is full of resentful ghosts. You need to find the source in the ten houses, overcome its resentment, and let it sink into deep sleep."

Chen Yang looked at the unfinished house, the roof hadn't been built yet, and the beams were being put on.He was amazed for a moment that the house without beams was called a beamless house, and beams were actually put on when the house was built.But when I looked more closely, I found that the beams of the house were not wooden pillars, but human corpses.Embedding human corpses as beams on the roof of a house is evil.

"Hold the red rope in your hand and meditate into meditation. The soul lamp and the bronze bell, the former will take you out, the latter will let you identify your location and identity, and you can find your way when you leave. But after entering, don't rely on external things, don't trust easily Don't believe what's inside, whether it's a familiar face or not." Du Shuo warned.

Chen Qingdai's exhortations were almost the same as what Du Shuo said, and soon ten celestial masters sat on the futons to meditate, while the rest of the celestial masters surrounded them to protect them.

When Du Shuo sent Chen Yang in, he squeezed his hand and said, "I will always be by your side, so don't worry about it."

Chen Yang: "I know." After speaking, he walked forward and sat cross-legged on the futon.In front of him was a lighted soul-inducing lamp, and Chen Qingdai was tying a red rope for a strange celestial master beside him. The red rope was tied to his middle finger, using a special binding method to prevent lonely ghosts from occupying the body method, indicating that this body has an owner.The other end of the red rope is drawn into the relief, and a bronze bell is tied at the end, and there is no core in the bell.

Chen Qingdai squatted in front of Chen Yang, and asked kindly, "Are you afraid?"

Chen Yang smiled back: "Not afraid."

Chen Qingdai laughed, and when he was about to tie the red rope for him, Du Shuo came over and squatted down and said, "I'll do it." Chen Qingdai looked at the two of them, handed the red rope to him without saying anything, and turned to The next celestial master.When it was Kou Xuanling's turn, Lu Xiuzhi also asked him to come by himself. Chen Qingdai looked at Lu Xiuzhi with a slight surprise in his eyes, then smiled without saying a word, bowed and walked to the next person.

Chen Yang looked at Du Shuo's eyebrows, who was seriously tying the red rope for him.He said: "Why do I feel that you are worried about my appearance. It's not like you, Brother Du."

Du Shuo raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then continued to tie the red rope on him: "When am I not worried about you? How can I say I'm not like me... You've only been with me for a few years, and you can see through me?"

Chen Yang propped his cheeks and said, "I said if you can see through, you can see through. Are you nervous?"

Du Shuo tied the red rope and stared at Chen Yang: "Yangyang has grown up, and he will never need me again," he sighed: "It feels like a loss."

Chen Yang squinted at him and said, "Give up, I won't call you father." That said, he portrayed himself as an old father, if he didn't know Du Shuo's nature well, he could really be tricked into tears.

Mao Xiaoying on the side was slightly surprised, is it such a big game?It seems to be very different from the image described by Xiaoli.

When Chen Qingdai announced that he could start to meditate, Du Shuo just finished what he was going to say, so he got up and stepped aside to stare at Chen Yang who was meditating with his eyes closed.The next moment, the red ropes tied on the middle fingers of the ten young celestial masters trembled violently, and the bronze bells jingled, and then stopped.At this time, it means that the ten celestial masters have entered the Wuliang Yin Mansion.

The celestial masters outside looked at the relief subconsciously. At this moment, the relief began to fog up and was gradually shrouded in thick fog. There were countless strange shadows dancing in the fog.Du Shuo frowned slightly.

When Chen Yang opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a dark road with an unopened umbrella in his hand.The sky was cloudy and rainy, and the rain was continuous, piercing into the skin and biting cold.

Opening the umbrella without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yang looked around and found that both sides of the road he was standing on were empty and filled with thick fog, and the end of the road behind him seemed to be swallowed by thick fog.On the contrary, a faint light could be seen ahead. After thinking about it, Chen Yang walked forward.Passing by a stone tablet, I subconsciously glanced at the words on it: the road of no return.

Chen Yang paused, then continued to walk forward, and saw a black figure standing in front of him from a distance.As he got closer, he found that the black shadow was a woman in a black dress, holding a black umbrella.The black umbrella has a deep arc, covering the woman's head.When he walked over, he could only see his fair neck and long black hair.There was a chewing sound coming from inside, as if she was eating something.

After passing the woman in black and walking forward for a dozen steps, I suddenly remembered that this scene was very familiar.There seems to be this scene in my childhood memory, the rainy weather, rushing on the small road in the suburbs, and meeting a woman in black with a black umbrella on the side of the road.At that time, he was still young, and he couldn't learn to recognize ghosts, but he was already afraid of ghosts. He was afraid of the woman, so he passed by in a hurry, and then heard the woman calling his name.

Grandpa said that when he heard strangers calling him for his face on the road, he must never respond.So at that time, Chen Yang hurried on his way with his head buried, not daring to turn his head back or respond at all.So I heard that voice getting more and more urgent, more and more angry, and getting closer and closer, right behind him.At that time, little Chen Yang ran up and felt something behind him chasing him.He accidentally fell down, turned around and saw the woman in black with a black umbrella standing behind him, raised the umbrella to reveal the woman under the umbrella, the woman had no head, and there was a terrifying mouth inside the umbrella.

Chen Yang woke up from the memories, suddenly raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a tightly closed mouth on the black umbrella.In ancient customs, black umbrellas herald bad omens. If there is a funeral, black umbrellas will be placed at the door of the mourner's house.Over time, there are evil spirits living in the black umbrella used for mourning, waiting for an opportunity to eat people.But this custom has receded and disappeared in the torrent of history.

It was raining and it was bitterly cold.After thinking about it, Chen Yang continued to walk forward with the black umbrella in his hand. After breaking through the fog, he saw an exquisite and beautiful house not far ahead. If he watched the panorama from a certain angle, he would be amazed at the grand scale of the house.After walking for a long time, I arrived at a Qingshi alley. There was no light in the alley, and I couldn't see my fingers.

There is a bathhouse at the end of the alley, and there is a piece of white cloth floating outside the bathhouse, with a few big characters written with a brush: Yunchi Tangyu.There is also a red lantern hanging beside the white cloth, which creaks when the wind blows.

As soon as Chen Yang stepped into the alley, he felt something approaching behind him. When he looked back, it was empty.So I continued to walk forward and arrived at the bathhouse. Under the red light of the lantern, I could see it more clearly.Suddenly aware of the sound of someone breathing next to his ear, Chen Yang turned his head suddenly, his pupils constricted, and a terrifying grimace appeared in front of his eyes, pressing tightly against his face.

Chen Yang took two steps back calmly, the tip of his nose dripped with water, and when he looked up, he saw that the mouth in the umbrella was cracked, and sticky saliva dripped down.The handle of the umbrella is shortening, and the mouth in the umbrella is getting closer to his head.Chen Yang closed the umbrella, folded it up and held it in the palm of his hand, and looked up at the little old man with a scary grimace in front of him.

The little old man chuckled, his smile was treacherous: "It's the first time I see a person who has held up this demon umbrella and has not been eaten. You are so lucky."

Chen Yang: "Who are you?"

The little old man: "They all call me old man Yun. I opened this bath pool, barely making ends meet." He looked up at the cloudy and rainy sky: "Business is the best when it rains. The bath pools are full, and there is one left." ,Do you want it?"

Chen Yang glanced at the door of the house not far away. There were two ferocious beasts at the door.He refused the little old man's invitation: "I don't want it." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. The little old man didn't stop him, but only shouted: "You want to go to the unknown house? I advise you not to go in. Once you go in, you won't be able to get out again." Come."

No name house?It should be the Shameless House.Chen Yang walked past the entrance of this bathhouse, feeling the scorching temperature and smelling the smell of burnt black.He looked back subconsciously, and the little old man was staring at him viciously, the horrific scars on his face looked like burns.He said that the business in the bathhouse is very good, but the bathhouse is very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of running water can be heard.

Chen Yang walked to the door of the nameless house, passing by two ferocious beasts.The eyes of the beast moved inward suddenly after he walked over, as if coveting this living soul, and the coveted saliva flowed out of their mouths and fell to the ground with a tick.

knock knock.

Chen Yang knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened, and a beautiful girl walked out inside.The girl didn't show the same expression when she saw him, but bowed to welcome him with a smile on her face, invited him in, and naturally took the black umbrella in his hand.Put the black umbrella upside down at the door when closing the door.

Stepping into the door, there is a long bottomless corridor, with dense houses on both sides of the corridor, and the doors of each house are reinforced with several locks to firmly lock the door of the house.

The girl smiled and said: "If the guest wants to stay in the nameless house, he needs to ask the master for instructions. Now I will take you to see the master."

Chen Yang: "Who is the owner of the nameless house?"

"You'll know it when you see it." The girl led him forward, and when he passed by a door, there was a sudden violent knocking sound from that door.Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked towards that door, and then all the other doors slammed violently, the door trembled slightly, but the lock did not move at all.

The girl was still looking at him with a smile on her face. Chen Yang found that the arc of the girl's smile hadn't changed from the beginning to the end, which made the girl look like a dummy.The girl led him to the end of the corridor, at the end of which was the elevator.The elevator went up to the fifth floor, and in the restaurant on the fifth floor, I saw the owner of the girl's mouth, the so-called owner of the unknown house.

The owner of the unknown house is a middle-aged woman with a very elegant manner, but she wears a black veil on her head.The owner of the nameless house invited Chen Yang to have a meal together. She didn't care if Chen Yang didn't touch the food, and said to herself, "Do you want to live in the nameless house?"

Chen Yang flatly refused: "I don't want to."

The owner of the nameless house paused, and through the black veil, one could imagine that her face also changed."You can stay here," she said.

Chen Yang: "I don't want to."

"Stay here. There is thick fog and rain outside, and there are countless monsters. But here is food, drink, and a place for you to sleep. Stay here."

Chen Yang remained silent.The owner of the nameless house softened his attitude, begging and compromising: "Okay, you can stay for one night. If you think it's okay, please tell me. Now I will invite you to live in the best house, I hope You can change your mind."

The girl led Chen Yang out of the restaurant, turned a few corners to the door of a room, opened the door, the inside was full of antique decorations, and there was a red lantern hanging outside the window.The girl went over and took down the red lantern, lit a candle and hung it outside the window.She said: "Light up the lantern and tell the people outside that there are distinguished guests in this room, and they are not allowed to sneak in and disturb the distinguished guests."

Chen Yang looked over, and saw the fiery red lanterns hanging high outside the window.He didn't know that if he looked at it from the opposite side, he would find a grimace on the other side of the fiery red lantern. A candle was inserted into the grimace's mouth, and the fire was burning, even the rain could not be extinguished.Grimace's eyes showed fear and fear, and the oil on its face was gradually decreasing.

The girl closed the window when she left, and Chen Yang sat on a chair to observe the layout of the whole house.The girl did not leave after closing the door, but stood outside the door and listened quietly for a while, and left slowly after hearing no other sounds.When passing by another room, he pulled out the sharp hairpin on the top of his head and thrust it into the cat's eye. Hearing the faint screams from inside, he pulled it out after stirring twice, and the hairpin was covered in blood.

The girl wiped it off and put it back on. The smile on her lips remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.

As soon as the girl left, Chen Yang immediately stood up and opened the window, and took down the lantern hanging outside to have a look.Once the lantern is brought into the house, it becomes an ordinary lantern, and there is no abnormality.After checking it again, he still hung the lantern back. The girl just said that hanging the lantern outside can prevent certain things from entering.

If the owner of the unknown house wants to keep him, he won't let other things come in and drive him away, so it won't be a big problem to hang the lantern outside.When Chen Yang closed the window, he looked up inadvertently, and saw countless fiery red lanterns on the opposite side, all of which were human heads.Some of those heads were thin and some were fat, with frightened expressions.

Chen Yang looked at the lantern in front of him, and immediately understood that it was a lantern lit with corpse oil.He closed the door, thinking about the source of the grievances in the Wuliang Yin mansion.There are countless wandering ghosts imprisoned here. From the countless small rooms seen through the door and the small rooms in other houses, it can be guessed that evil spirits should be imprisoned inside.

Du Shuo said that the source of the grievances of the Wuliangyin House, that is, the nameless house, is very cunning, and it will not be easy for people to guess it.The identity of the hostess of the unknown house is too obvious, and her attitude is a little weak.

Of course, this may also be the source of the resentment, but there are ten buildings in the Wuliang Yin Mansion. If each building has an owner, who is the source of the resentment?

It really is tricky.It is not easy to find one of the ghosts.

Chen Yang's side just entered the nameless house, Kou Xuanling and Zhang Qiudao also entered different beamless yin houses through different entrances.The name of the house Zhang Qiudao entered was Wubei Mausoleum. There were no beams in the house, and it was all arched, like a mausoleum.He didn't meet the girl and hostess in the Tomb of No Stele, but when he entered, he was pushed into a tomb by something behind him, and he was trapped in the tomb and couldn't get out.

Kou Xuanling's encounter was almost the same as that of Chen Yang, except that what he met was not a girl and a hostess, but a housekeeper.After rejecting the housekeeper's invitation, he was expelled from Liangwu's Yin Mansion.He turned around and climbed over the wall from the outside to avoid getting in. As soon as he climbed in, the lanterns in the windows of all the houses outside lit up instantly, and all the lanterns were whispering.

Buzz!

Chen Yang closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and was awakened by the sound.He got up and followed the sound to a wall.Listening to the sound over there against the wall, it seems that someone is chiseling the wall next door.He saw a few holes next to it, so he leaned over and looked at the next house with his left eye.But the house next door was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw lights suddenly lit up on the other side.He froze for a moment, then reacted abruptly, and took a few steps back quickly.In the next moment, a sharp long thorn pierced into the hole. After stirring it a few times, it was unsuccessful, and it was withdrawn resentfully.Chen Yang vaguely heard someone mumbling next door: "It failed."
