Hit the yin and yang road

The entire beamless yin house has white walls and black tiles, stacked on top of each other. When you walk into it, you will find that you will get lost if you are not careful.Jump in from the window, enter the corridor of the back room, and you will find countless small houses built inside. These small houses are about [-] square meters, and the doors are locked.Like coffins, I don't know what is locked in the coffins.

Kou Xuanling ran to the fifth floor. The house on the fifth floor is relatively large, unlike the coffin rooms on the lower four floors.Looking at the house outside from the corridor, it is no different from the hotel room outside. When you open the door, you will find the antique decoration inside.

This yin house is called the old house. It has a strange name, but as long as you know it, you will shudder.Another name for the coffin is the old house.The butler and the master lived on the fifth floor of this kind of shady house. Kou Xuanling walked through the corridor, but suddenly turned around, the corridor was empty.

He always felt that something was spying on him, but he couldn't see that there was no place in the corridor where he could hide his tracks.He turned his eyes to the doors on both sides, stuck to the peephole of the door and looked in, it was pitch black.After staring at it for a while, I didn't find anything, so I turned and left.The moment he turned around, a bluish-black sharp and slender nail pierced through the cat's eye, dug it a few times and retracted it angrily.

When Kou Xuanling turned his head again, he just didn't see it.So he didn't know that in the two rows of rooms in the corridor, there were countless things stuck behind the door, watching him through the cat's eyes.When he looked into the house close to the cat's eye, he was actually looking at the things inside.

When he was brought in by the butler, he remembered that the other party inadvertently pointed to the bedroom where the master lived, so he remembered the route.Walking to the door of the bedroom, the lock on the door is an honest lock, which is easy to open.He knocked on the door a few times first, and found no one responded, so he used cardboard and wire to pry open the lock and slipped in. After closing the door, he observed the layout of the room.

The room is full of dark red decorations, with velvet cloth hanging around, and the decoration is also very antique.On the table are a red lantern, a bronze mirror and a string of ebony.Ebony, also known as gloomy wood or ebony ghost beads, is an evil thing that summons souls.

Kou Xuanling picked up the bronze mirror, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the clear portrait inside.Suddenly heard the slight sound of 'clicking', looked up and found that the doorknob of the room had been opened.He looked around, put the bronze mirror back in place, jumped onto the bed with light movements, and rolled onto this gorgeous fence-style babu bed.He completely concealed his figure, and just happened to be able to see the scene outside the bed again.

When the old house owner entered the door, he first saw the bronze mirror on the table with a slightly puzzled expression, and then raised his nose to sniff for any other things breaking into the room.Kou Xuanling held his breath and restrained the breath of his whole body. He saw the footsteps of the old house owner moving towards the Babu bed here, getting closer and closer, and his expression became more and more dignified, as if he really smelled something.

Kou Xuanling didn't dare to move, his heart beat like a drum.Just as the owner of the old house was about to enter the Babu bed, he heard the sound of the bronze mirror falling to the ground behind him. He turned his head and found a hideous and ugly little ghost running out of the bronze mirror, aiming at the door of the room.He was furious, and instantly transformed into an ugly eight-footed Yaksha, grabbed the little devil and swallowed it alive.

Kou Xuanling covered his mouth, and the clear sound of chewing and swallowing in the room penetrated into his ears.It wasn't until the kid was eaten up that the old homeowner regained his original image of a handsome middle-aged man. He picked up the bronze mirror hanging on the ground and placed it.Then he lit the red lantern and hung it on the window, and put the ebony ghost beads on his wrist and walked into the Babu bed.

Kou Xuanling hid himself on the innermost side of the Babu bed near the wall, and the towering quilt and decorations just blocked his figure.The yaksha ghost clasped its fingers and placed it in front of its abdomen, closed its eyes and rested.After a few minutes, it purred and fell into a deep sleep.

Kou Xuanling waited for another ten minutes, and saw the ghost sticking to him suddenly opened his eyes and turned his face to face him.His heart skipped a beat, but he knew that the ghost in front of him couldn't see him because of the angle.The ghost stared in this direction for a few minutes before turning back and closing its eyes again.This time it didn't open again, but Kou Xuanling didn't dare to go out again, and he tiptoed out after waiting for almost half an hour.

Looking back at the ebony ghost beads on the ghost's wrist and the red lantern hanging outside the window, he hid the bronze mirror in his arms and opened the window to take it away.When I jumped out of the window, I came face to face with the red lantern, and suddenly realized that it was not a lantern, but a fat head with a red face.The human head closed its eyes tightly and fell asleep.

Kou Xuanling carefully avoided the head, and just when he succeeded, the head suddenly opened his eyes and faced him.The next moment, the head opened its mouth and was about to scream, so frightened that Kou Xuanling wanted to wring the head off.But in the next second, he found that the human head couldn't make a sound. It turned out that his mouth was black and there was no tongue.

When he left safely, the head shook angrily, waking up the other heads.When the heads saw it, they all giggled and whispered to each other, laughing at the head and wanting to talk again.Because it is too broken, the tongue will be cut off.

Zhang Qiudao was trapped in the house of Wubei Mausoleum, and the houses inside were like tombs.The roof is in the shape of an arch, without beams, and there are no windows around it, and it is tightly sealed.The furnishings inside are like burial objects in ancient tombs, and even the bed is like a sarcophagus.He tried to open the door, but couldn't find the handle and the lock hole. It was a stone door.

Because he was trapped inside, he didn't know that there was a group of short, wizened old people outside. The old people were all black and their movements were stiff.The group of old people stopped outside Zhang Qiudao's doorway, holding brushes, inkstones, basins and other things.They showed fingers, all missing fingers, some missing thumbs and some missing three or four fingers.The leading old man picked up a brush and dipped the blood and ink in the inkstone, and slowly wrote the first word on the stone gate: Zhang.

Zhang Qiudao heard the sound of 'rustling' inside, so he stuck it to the wall to listen. He couldn't hear what was happening outside from the sound, which would not be a good thing after all.He took a few steps back and looked around, remembering that before he stepped into the house, he saw many red lanterns, and there were windows behind each red lantern.

This means that there should be a window where he is, at least where the window is, the wall is relatively thin, and it can be smashed to escape.For some reason, he always felt that something terrible would happen once the 'rustling' sound outside the door stopped.

Following his memory, he knocked on the door, and finally found a wall with a different thickness than other places. He found a bronze candlestick from the room and knocked on the wall.The thing outside heard the sound of knocking on the wall, stopped writing, and then let out a howl of extremely chaotic frequency. Accompanied by this weird and unpleasant sound was the act of slamming the door frantically.

Zhang Qiudao speeded up, picked up the half-person-high bronze candlestick and smashed it hard against the wall, quickly punching out a small hole.It is still rainy outside, but the fire of red lanterns can be seen.

The stone door made a loud 'bang bang bang' sound, and the dust and stone chips crazily shook off. It seemed that the whole stone door was about to be dug into a hole, as if the group of hideous faces outside would be revealed in the next moment.

Zhang Qiudao smashed along the cut hole, and quickly smashed a hole that could accommodate him to get out.When he threw away the bronze candlestick and stretched out his feet to climb out, the stone door collapsed, and the group of old ghosts outside rushed towards him.Zhang Qiudao, whose upper body was still inside, immediately pinched his hands and used the nine-character formula to kill all the old ghosts who approached and tried to scratch him first. The old ghosts behind were frightened and stood still.

Zhang Qiudao was as slippery as a fish, while the red lantern outside the window was trembling and afraid to speak.The rain soon wet the candle wick inside the lantern, the fire went out, and the lantern turned into a pale and numb human head.

The old ghosts turned around restlessly in the room, and their throats made 'grunt, grunt' sounds, like bubbles rolling out and bursting from the dirty black and rotten swamp mud.I can vaguely hear the syllables of 'heavenly master...' and 'mix in, kill' in the pronunciation of the words they spit out.

On the stone gate that collapsed on the ground, the blood-red traces have not yet dried up, and there is a lot of dust, but it can be recognized that there are a few big characters "Zhang Qiudao Zhimo" written on it, and the last stroke of the word "Mo" draws a long bloodstain .It should have been a character for tomb, the tomb of the tomb.

Chen Yang didn't know what happened to the others, he only knew that the people living in the next room were really unfriendly.Before he could think deeply, the long needle that had been poked into the hole was retracted, and the door was knocked.

The voice of the hostess, she was asking softly: "Did you fall asleep?"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and answered her: "Not yet."

The voice of the hostess and the knock on the door disappeared instantly, and Chen Yang tiptoed, hiding in a corner where the cat's eyes couldn't see, leaning against the door to listen to the sound outside.There was no sound of footsteps, and he wondered whether the mistress walked silently or not at all.

Because he was hiding under the door, where the cat's eyes couldn't see, and he couldn't see the situation outside through the cat's eyes.So he didn't know that the hostess was indeed observing the room through the cat's eyes, especially when she found that she couldn't see anyone, she stared straight at the bed.

After a long time, just when Chen Yang relaxed his vigilance and was about to stand up and loosen his paralyzed hands and feet, he heard the hostess ask, "Did you fall asleep?"

This time Chen Yang didn't answer, and then noticed that the doorknob was twisting up and down.The hostess opened the door outside, trying to sneak in.Without even thinking about it, Chen Yang leaped across the table to the window with a light movement, opened the window and took down the lantern with human head outside, blew out the candle and threw it on the bed.The moment the candle was extinguished, the lantern turned back into a human head.

Then Chen Yang hid in the cabinet and watched the hostess walk in through the gap of the cabinet.Because of the angle, he could only see the hostess from the waist down.The hostess walked past the cabinet, her hands hanging at her sides, holding delicate and small hammers and iron bars in her hands.

Chen Yang frowned, but saw the hostess who had walked past the cabinet back, and stood by the cabinet for a long time.He covered his nose and mouth, trying not to make a sound, and then found that the wardrobe above his head was opened, and a pair of hands reached in, fumbling to take out a piece of clothing.The closet was closed again, and the hostess changed into the clothes she took out of the closet, and then put her own clothes neatly on the table.

Chen Yang took a closer look, his pupils constricted.He found that the clothes taken off by the hostess also included his own human skin. The hostess put on the clothes naked, with red muscles all over her wrists exposed.

She walked slowly towards the bed, touched the human head on the bed, then lifted the black hair of the human head, placed the iron bar on top of the human skull, and pried it open little by little with a hammer.After prying it open, the probe sucks the brain inside.

Chen Yang opened the closet, stole the hostess's human skin, and hid in the closet again.The hostess smoked for a long time but didn't eat the brains. When she realized something was wrong, she held up the whole head and found it was a lantern.Instantly realizing that she had been tricked, she angrily smashed her head against the wall and let out a deep roar.

The hostess came over and was about to put on her clothes but found that the human skin was missing.This completely angered her, she roared, walked around the room looking for Chen Yang, overturned the table and the big bed.Then she opened the door and went out, closing the door behind her.

Chen Yang was about to take the opportunity to escape, but he felt something was wrong when he moved.How could the angry hostess remember to close the door softly if she ran out?So he stopped moving.

Sure enough, the hostess couldn't see Chen Yang's appearance, and the sound of suppressed breathing and deliberately light footsteps sounded again in the empty and quiet house.She kept going around in circles, scraping the wall with her long nails, making an extremely harsh sound, and finally she set her sights on the wardrobe.

Chen Yang looked at the hostess who kept approaching, and put his right hand on the bronze coin on his left arm.Just as the hostess put her hand on the wardrobe doorknob, she seemed to hear something and looked towards the window, then turned and left.

Chen Yang stretched out his hand and inadvertently pressed a button in the corner, and the folding fan leaves above his head were all unfolded, dividing the wardrobe into upper and lower sides.The top is two-thirds of the wardrobe, and the bottom is one-third.He was hiding in the bottom third of the cabinet. The hostess, who had already left the next moment, rushed over and opened the wardrobe, her head stuck to the folded fan blade, and her long nails hooked the fan blade.

The girl suddenly appeared at the door and shouted: "...the Celestial Master broke in, hurry up and gather."

The hostess left resentfully, staring at Fan Ye with resentment when she left. With a 'click', the door closed completely.

Chen Yang came out, holding the hostess's human skin in his hand.The palms and forehead were sweaty, and the heart was beating like a drum.He could have subdued the hostess directly, but he couldn't startle the snake.

When you haven't found the real source of resentment, you can't make a big splash, so you avoid the hostess.Due to the rules of ghosts, as long as she is not exposed in person, the hostess will not reveal her true colors in front of him.

Chen Yang guessed that it should be following some kind of rules.In ancient literature records about ghosts and spirits, or miscellaneous records, when they want to kill people, they usually lure out people's greed, sex, desire, wealth, wine, power and so on.Ghosts cannot kill without reason, otherwise they will be held accountable by Fengdu.

But they will lure and deceive human beings through many disguises, or wait for them to commit suicide, or let them be killed in their sleep, and die in a daze. When they arrive in the underworld, they don’t know the cause of death, and they have no way to file a complaint. do.

The same rules should be followed in the Wuliang Yin Mansion, so that all living people who break into it die silently.Although Chen Yang and other ten celestial masters did not break into Wuliang's Yin Mansion with the bodies of strangers, they were also living souls.

The ghosts in the yin house know the identity of their living souls, so they will try their best to eat them.Once the living souls are eaten, those ghosts will occupy their bodies and return to the present world.So now there are countless ghosts waiting to occupy their bodies, but they dare not commit murder blatantly.

The girl mentioned the celestial master just now, which celestial master should be discovered.Chen Yang guessed that they would soon discover the connection between the ten living souls and the celestial master, and he didn't have much chance to find the source.

But at the moment I have no clue.

Du Shuo said that the source would take the initiative to appear beside them, because the source also wanted to occupy the body of the celestial master and leave the yin house.

Now besides the hostess and the girl, there are also the woman in black and the umbrella she met on the road of no return, and the old man Yun in the Qingshi alley.

Old man Yun mentioned that the bath business is very good, which proves that there are many ghosts.There are many ghosts, so there should be a lot of news that can be heard.So Chen Yang opened the window and climbed down from the fifth floor. During the period, those lantern heads saw him, whispered and wanted to sue him.

Chen Yang freed one hand to behead a lantern head who was shouting to sue, and the other lantern heads shut their mouths tightly and dared not speak any more.After watching him escape, he dared to whisper, but within a few minutes, he saw a ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the window behind them, dragging some human-headed lanterns into the house, and took it out after a while.

But this move has made most of the lanterns afraid to whisper anymore.

After Chen Yang left the yin house, he returned to Qingshi Alley. The white cloth that said Yunchi Tangyu was swaying in the wind, and the red lantern made an unpleasant sound of creaking. .

Old man Yun was still standing at the door, and he didn't show any surprise when he saw Chen Yang coming.Instead, he smiled and said, "Are you still going in?"

Chen Yang stared at Old Man Yun: "Yes."

Old man Yun revealed a look of surprise in an instant, and he opened the door curtain himself to lead him in.The cloth curtain at the door was opened to reveal a wooden screen, beyond the screen to the back, there was a counter behind, and a stiff woman stood on the counter, with old account books and abacus in front of the woman.In front of the counter is a sliding wooden door, and to the left of the counter is a staircase.

Old man Yun led Chen Yang to register, and called the woman to register: "She is my daughter-in-law, if you have any request, you can ask her, she will definitely meet any request." He repeated 'any request'.

The woman asked him to tell his name and horoscope, but Chen Yang was unwilling to give it.She couldn't register, and old man Yun looked gloomy.Chen Yang didn't change his face: "Didn't you say that any of my requirements are met? My current request is not allowed to ask my name and horoscope."

Old man Yun was so angry that he beat the counter but couldn't refuse.After listening to Chen Yang's words, the woman didn't really ask, but instead asked him: "Do you want to go to the upstairs or downstairs bathroom?"

Chen Yang: "Upstairs."

"Okay." The woman handed him the wooden sign, wooden basin, and towel, and said, "Have a good day."

Old man Yun was furious and stopped the woman.But Chen Yang had already taken the wooden sign and other things and stepped up the stairs.After walking five or six steps, he turned his head and looked behind him. The woman was still fiddling with her abacus, and Old Man Yun was staring at him with gloomy expression and cloudy eyes.

Chen Yang withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs.The upstairs is quiet, there are countless stretched doors, there is no sound at all inside the doors, but shadows can be seen inside each door.Passing by a door, a middle-aged man came out.

The middle-aged man's eyes were dull and his face was pale. When he saw Chen Yang, he bowed to him and asked, "Do you have a wooden sign?"

Chen Yang handed him the wooden sign, and he glanced at it and said, "NO.13. Please come here."

The middle-aged man hunched slightly and led the way, the floor he walked on was wet.Chen Yang looked down and found that the hem of his clothes was all wet.The middle-aged man stopped at the entrance of the bathing pool No. 13, hung the wooden sign on it and opened the door. Two boys rushed out of it.

The middle-aged man was suddenly furious, and immediately kicked the two boys over with one foot, and cursed in disgust: "No noise is allowed!"

The two boys who didn't make a sound at all were kicked to the corner, then stood up silently, staring straight at the middle-aged man.After the middle-aged man invited Chen Yang into the bath, he carried the two boys out, and Chen Yang called him back: "Let them stay."

The middle-aged man humbly pushed the two children in front of him: "I hope you will be satisfied with our service."

When the door was closed, the two children looked at Chen Yang expressionlessly.Chen Yang knelt down and asked, "What are you most afraid of?"

The two children replied in unison: "Father." The tone of the voice did not fluctuate, which was very strange.

Chen Yang: "Besides that?"

They answered in unison again: "Overcast and rainy."

Chen Yang: "Why?"

They replied in unison: "On a rainy day, guests come to visit. White firewood is thrown into the boiler, and the soup pond boils the white pig. Watch the stove, add firewood, slaughter the white pig, and clean the bath. Busy and tired, I am most afraid."

Chen Yang's fingertips moved slightly, and he always felt that the words that the two of them read in unison without any ups and downs were particularly weird and terrifying.So he asked, "What is the white pig?"

The two children shut their mouths tightly and stared at the sky without answering.

Chen Yang thought they didn't want to answer, but just as he was about to ask something else, he suddenly realized that they had already answered him.He is the 'White Pig', and all the guests taking a bath in the bath are 'White Pigs' waiting to be slaughtered.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did you slaughter the white pig?"

"cost."

"Why are there the most visitors on rainy days?"

The expressions of the two children changed, showing fear.They retreated in unison, fearful and greedy: "Do you have candy? We want candy, give us candy and we will say it."

Chen Yang took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to them. When they saw it, their faces became ugly: "This is not candy!! You lied to us!!!" They seemed to want to get angry, but because Chen Yang was a guest , can only endure.

Chen Yang probably knew that what they were referring to was sugar mixed with human blood, so he took out the hostess's human skin, and the two children grabbed it and bit it frantically.He quickly ate up all the human skin, and his attitude towards Chen Yang was much better while belching.

They said, "Because he likes rainy days best."

"On a rainy day, a visitor is here."
