[Tanhua Modern] Blackening cannot always save the world

"Is it here?" Lou Yi asked with a sullen face.

The old ghost nodded solemnly.

He Lang was startled, who is he talking to?Then I unconsciously distanced myself from him, and a lot of guesses suddenly appeared in my mind...

Is this guy really human, why did he appear here... If he and that female ghost are in the same group...

He stepped back step by step, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

Lou Yi didn't look at him, but the old ghost couldn't help frowning at him, and couldn't help calling:

"Wait!" After a while, it fell down again, he couldn't hear it.

He Lang couldn't hear Lou Yi but heard it. He turned his head impatiently, and then raised his brows, with a tone of watching the show:

"Don't move, I can't control what happens if you move again."

He Lang froze, learned to be smart for a while, and didn't look back, but just turned his snow-white face to Lou Yi.

"Brother Lou..." The old ghost stepped forward with some hesitation, he saw that Lou Yi was not a meddling person, but he couldn't stand by and watch.

With a cold face, Lou Yi grabbed the old ghost, and then said to He Lang who was standing stiffly in the court:

"Stand firm for me." After that, he strode forward, bit his finger, fixed his eyes on the position behind him, sharp eyes, and drew a strange blood symbol on He Lang's forehead at the right moment, He Lang felt his body sink, and then he couldn't move anymore.He was terrified and looked at Lou Yi in bewilderment.

Lou Yi glanced at him and said lightly:

"This way nothing will happen for a while."

He Lang looked like he was about to cry, but he still nodded stiffly. This was the only movement he could do.He forced a smile, and his jaw was trembling:

"I feel a little cold..." Seeing that Lou Yi looked at him coldly, he quickly added:

"It's...it's okay...it can be tolerated..." He stood upright in the courtyard as if he was frozen, and smiled weakly at Lou Yi.

Fortunately, he couldn't make other movements, otherwise he would turn his head and see the female ghost crouching on his back like a frozen female corpse......

A look of amusement flashed in the old ghost's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Sometimes it's really a blessing not to know.He nodded and gestured to push the door, but Lou Yi grabbed his hand:

"You want to go in too?" Lou Yi frowned.

The old ghost smiled slightly and said:

"I've only seen someone put that jade in there before. I've never been in this place. It's rare to have this opportunity with you now. Of course I have to go in and have a look."

Lou Yi was silent, did not let go of his hand, and said after a long while:

"You have died once, do you remember how you died?"

The old ghost's smile gradually faded, he frowned and thought hard for a while, then sighed slightly:

"I don't seem to remember."

Lou Yi provoked a sarcastic smile:

"Many people don't remember how they were born, but there are very few ghosts who can forget how they died. They remember this more clearly than their own names. You can forget it."

The old ghost smiled indifferently:

"Maybe I'm one of the few ghosts you mentioned."

Lou Yi lowered his face:

"Then do you know what happens when a person dies once and dies again?"

The old ghost was silent.

"That's what the saying goes, the soul flies away, but the soul flies away and the body doesn't mean eternal sleep. The soul will become countless fragments and attach to everything in the world. There is no possibility of reorganization. You will have no sense of touch, no sense of smell, no vision, nothing... ....You can only feel the growth and cycle of all things again and again. The changes in the world have nothing to do with you, but your thinking is still alive......Can you imagine what a thinking stone looks like Is it?"

Lou Yi stared at him with dark and cold eyes:

"It's a perpetual hopelessness that you never wonder what it feels like...."

The old ghost didn't smile any more, his eyes inadvertently showed melancholy, he sighed slightly:

"Although I haven't experienced it, it must not be a good experience."

"Then do you know how weak you are now?" Lou Yi's eyes were cold, and his voice was suddenly sharp.

The old ghost laughed again, the smile was like the drizzle on the lake in the spring, gentle and clear:

"I'm fine, really."

"Are you fine?" Lou Yi had a weird expression and snorted coldly:

"Yes...you're fine..." He finally put down his hand.

"Curiosity killed the cat. I guess you haven't heard of this sentence, but you should be familiar with the meaning. You still have time to go back now."

"Thank you for the advice, but maybe I was killed by this curiosity before I was alive, and it seems that I have never repented." The old ghost chuckled.

Lou Yi didn't say any more, just glanced at him, and then slowly pushed open the closed wooden door.

--------

The night is as cold as water, and the coldness here is better than anywhere in the house.

The room was impossibly clean, not even the dirt that should have been there.The room was empty, with only a dark red square table of the Eight Immortals standing alone in the middle. There were no chairs beside the table, and no furniture around it.

Lou Yi stepped in cautiously, the floor was covered with a dark red velvet blanket, which was also extraordinarily clean, so strangely clean.

He and the old ghost approached the square table cautiously, and found that there was nothing abnormal around them, then looked around again, and finally fixed their eyes on the table.

The old ghost sighed:

"This stuff doesn't feel good to me."

Lou Yi chuckled lightly:

"Maybe, there's something behind it that makes people feel bad."

"It's made of gloomy wood. The gloomy wood has been said to ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune since ancient times, but I don't know what kind of gloomy wood it is... and the dark fragrance dyed on it..." the old man The ghost slightly frowned.

"This is Ming Luo Xiang..." Lou Yi sneered, "The flowers that bloom in hell are naturally very sinister, and paired with the gloomy wood that has been buried for thousands of years, the effect goes without saying..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the edge of the table with his fingertips.

Time seemed to stand still, and a heavy weight hit him, making it hard to breathe.With piercing eyes, Lou Yi moved the heavy square table inch by inch...

The old ghost frowned deeply, and at some point there was a small knife between his hanging fingers......

There is a secret door under the table. As the table is moved away, the secret door opens slowly, revealing a hole in the ground. The square and regular stone ladder extends straight down, and the end is surrounded by a faint red light.

Lou Yi and the old ghost looked at each other, and said in a deep voice:

"You follow behind."

Without waiting for him to say anything, he walked away first.

The ladder was not long, but the two of them walked very slowly. As they walked, they smelled a bloody smell with a strong rancid smell. This strong smell of blood made the old ghost frowned even more. He could already Imagine the following situation.

It's just that the appearance of the underground is still beyond his imagination.

Although he has forgotten many people and things, he still remembers some common sense situations.He remembered passing by the butcher's meat case, where strips of cut meat were either hung or laid flat, the cleaner ones were still clinging to blood, and the freshest ones were still dripping with blood, which lured the flies crazy. It seems to be drilling towards that.

Now there are also things hanging or laying on the bottom, like a butcher's meat case, but these things once belonged to humans.Some dead bones and stumps were randomly thrown on the ground, and several complete corpses were nailed to the wall. Maggots as thick as two fingers were wriggling in a ball where the bones and flesh were exposed.

The old ghost found that the belly of one of the male corpses was extremely large, and he had a faint feeling of bad feeling. Then he saw the huge belly wriggling strangely, and a blowfly the size of an adult's fist broke open from the belly of the corpse. A small hole was drilled out of...  

He was cold all over, and his face was even more ugly.

He still has the impression of these tragic corpses. They are the people who broke in one after another over the years. He can't save all of them. In fact, most of them can't. What a desperate scream before dying.

There was a flash of pain in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth tightly, almost piercing his gums......

The secret room underground is quite spacious, so spacious that a pool was built in the center, the pool overflowed with a dark red viscous liquid, the wave surface swayed slightly, and the red slurry slid down the pool wall, followed by a light red mist rising............
