She said it so scary, my heart was beating fast.

We returned to the woodshed in the backyard, and I nodded to Li Yang. Li Yang asked the woman: "Auntie, master, we can enter."

The woman took out a small and exquisite mirror, adjusted the angle under the sun, and called Yang Shanshan over: "Nier, just stand here, hold the mirror, and don't move it. This Bagua mirror has been opened, and this room

The yin energy is really too strong, so we can use the yang to illuminate the yin to ensure peace."

Yang Shanshan came over and held the mirror obediently.

Li Yang held the lotus lantern, and I held the evergreen lantern, and walked into the house one after the other.

As soon as I entered, it was like entering another world. The blackness here was like substance, like a dense black mist that could not be condensed. Li Yang walked in front holding a lantern, the lotus lanterns were burning, and the five-color brilliance reflected.

When it comes out, it looks very fantastic, like a red lotus floating in the dark.

The room is very cold. This kind of coldness is not simply a low temperature, but a gloomy coldness, with a cool wind blowing everywhere. Walking here, you can't stop at all. Once you don't move, your whole body will be out of control.

The ground shook, and the cold air penetrated from the outside of the skin into the bones like ice water.

"Li Yang, Li Yang, I have boarded your pirate ship." I was so cold that I couldn't resist it.

Li Yang walked slowly in front, shining lights around as he walked, and he said: "Do you know why I called you in?"

"You're scared"

"That's right, I am indeed scared. You, Lao Liu, are so talented that you are like a magic lamp to ward off evil spirits. I can break in by myself, but with you in my brother's heart, I can feel more at ease. Just take it as a

I have helped my brother, but I must not forget it. I know it in my heart and remember every move."

I sighed: "Okay, this is my fate. No matter how beautiful the toilet is, its only destination is the toilet."

Li Yang chuckled and said nothing. After chatting and interrupting, the scary atmosphere was relieved a lot.

We walked for a while, and the things in the house were taken out one after another. It should be a very old house, and the ground was full of tattered debris, such as cardboard boxes, broken newspapers, and plastic bags. We also saw a large

The Eight Immortals table. This kind of table is very rare nowadays. It is carved from mahogany wood and has some pattern engraved on it. When you touch it with your hand, you will find a thick layer of dust. There is a very old-fashioned copper kettle on the table, as well as a few glasses.

, touch it, it feels cold to the touch, and the surface is almost frozen.

With the weak firelight of the ever-burning lamp, you can see many vague shadows around you in the darkness. They are all old-fashioned bamboo wall cabinets with peeling red paint and are so dilapidated that the original color can hardly be seen.

"Come and take a look at this." Li Yang called me.

He was standing in front of the wall holding a lotus lantern, and there was a huge landscape painting hanging on the wall. The white rice paper had already turned yellow, and it looked very old. I also put the evergreen lamp close to it, and the two lights dimly illuminated this painting.

What comes into view is a huge pine tree, an old tree with green vines. The branches are winding on the paper, full of ancient charm. Under the pine tree sits a middle-aged man in white clothes with his hair tied in a bun. He is half lying and half sitting, with his head raised.

Erlang's legs were crossed, with straw sandals and a cane beside him. There were four poems written in the inscription. Li Yang illuminated them with a lamp and read them word by word: "The body has been trained to look like a crane, and two scriptures are written under a thousand pines. I will do it."

When asked, Wuyu said, "The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle."

He turned to me and asked: "Old Liu, do you know what poem this is?"

"Sounds familiar."

"I remember it was written by a Zen master in the Tang Dynasty. It probably means describing a state of cultivation."

"Oh." I said, "Didn't the female master also say that her mother was a practitioner, and this room was the place where she practiced during her lifetime."

"Forget it, stop studying those things, grab your things and leave quickly. I always feel like something is wrong here." I said again.

He nodded. We continued to move forward slowly. In addition to this landscape painting, there was also a picture of Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus hanging on the wall. The page was yellowed, and the Bodhisattva had long been blurred, showing a sense of desolation from the vicissitudes of life.

The house is actually not big, so we searched around and found no coffins.

I wondered: "Is there a secret door?"

Li Yang shook his head: "It doesn't look like that."

"Why didn't the female master explain clearly where the coffin is? She told us not to move anything. Where can we find it?" This ghost place made me a little anxious.

Li Yang suddenly had an idea: "Look up and take a photo."

We held up the lamp and looked up together. It was better not to look at it, but it was really scary to see. There were four iron chains hanging from the beams of the house, and a red coffin was locked and hung in the air.

This coffin is very small, probably less than one meter long by visual inspection, so it cannot be used to hold people. Its location is quite unethical, about two meters above the ground. If you want to open it and take out the contents, you have to step on something.

.

Li Yang put the lotus lantern on the Eight Immortals table and called me: "Come here and help me."

"Fuck, what do you want to do?" I widened my eyes.

He coughed and said, "What else can you do? Lift the table under the coffin and I will step on it to open the coffin."

"But, the female master said not to touch anything in the house."

"I'm going to suffer some consequences. It's just a table, it can't collapse the sky. Hurry up, take your things and leave."

I had no choice but to carry the Eight Immortals Table with him. The table was so heavy that it made a creaking sound when it was lifted up. I was really afraid it would fall apart. After finally lifting it under the coffin, Li Yang held on to the tabletop and jumped down.

Turned up.

The four legs of the table immediately started shaking, and I secretly cried out: "Li Yang, be careful."

He stood on the table, walked carefully to the position of the coffin, and snapped his fingers at me: "Hand over the lotus lantern."

I handed the lamp over to him, and he held the lamp with one hand and opened the coffin lid with the other. I looked up from below for a while, and the fire above made my eyes water, and I quickly stopped looking.

He stood there and couldn't open it no matter how hard he fiddled with it. He lowered his head and said, "Old Liu, I have to trouble you to come up and hold the lamp for me. It's too strenuous with one hand."

I pressed the table and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, if another person comes on board, what should I do if the table collapses?"

Li Yang said: "When the pressure collapses, we can think of other ways. Now we can only take one step at a time and talk one step at a time. Hurry up and don't leave any ink."

I had no choice but to climb up carefully. I didn't dare to climb directly onto the table like Li Yang, so I could only climb up little by little. When I climbed to the table, my whole body was covered with dirt. I cursed: "Go out and buy it for me."

clothing."

Li Yang smiled: "I'll buy you an Armani set."

I stood next to him and helped lift the lamp. Li Yang began to twist the coffin lid. The combination of the coffin lid and the coffin was not complicated. The four corners were fastened by coffin nails. All he had to do was pull them out. However, it was really difficult to operate with one hand.

.

Li Yang pulled out four nails and gently opened the coffin lid. A musty smell that had accumulated for many years was emitted from inside, killing him.

I raised the lotus lantern and looked inside, and something appeared under the dim light. When I saw this thing, I almost peeed in fear.

This is a pair of women's embroidered shoes. They are red and have a cloud pattern embroidered along the upper. Two large peonies are embroidered on the upper. Li Yang looked at me and I looked at him. We really couldn't figure it out.

What does a pair of embroidered shoes have to do with extending your life?

Li Yang reached into the coffin, took out the shoes and stuffed them into his bag. I touched him and said, "There is something down there."

It was a talisman written on yellow paper. It was a long and narrow strip with a pattern like a ghostly talisman drawn on it with cinnabar. Li Yang carefully took the talisman out and put it into the interlayer of the bag.

The last object left in the coffin was an ancient book with threads. It had only a few pages and was badly damaged. It had a strong smell. The musty smell in the coffin was mainly caused by this thing. Li Yang flipped through it lightly.

The characters above are all written with red dye, and each character is very large. One page can fit 180 words. These characters are all in traditional Chinese, and there are no punctuation marks in the middle. With my background in Chinese studies, I can’t even read it.

Not a sentence.

Li Yang closed the book and was about to put it in his bag. At this moment, the flame of the lotus lantern in my hand suddenly went out.

None of us were mentally prepared, and the surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness. Fortunately, there was a burning lamp on the table. Although the flame was not bright, it was our only lighting tool.

I patted Li Yang beside me and motioned for him to get down from the table quickly.

At this time, there was a sudden "pop" sound in the darkness, as if something fell on the ground. Li Yang said with a trembling voice: "Old Liu, the book fell."

I felt a little nervous and coughed: "If the book falls, just pick it up."

"No, you don't know. Someone seemed to have snatched the book from my hand just now."

My heart was beating fast, and I pulled him from the table to the ground. I held the ever-burning lantern to the lotus lantern, and the wick of the lotus lantern lit up again.

Each of us held up a lamp and shined it around. The ground was empty, and the book was gone.

"Forget it, it'll be gone if it's gone." I was a little scared: "Let's go quickly."

Li Yang said: "Would that book be very important?"

"How do I know?" I thought for a moment and said, "If there really is some kind of external force, it would be fine if we took away the embroidered shoes and talismans, but it wouldn't let us take the book. Does that mean that this book has a profound influence on it?"

It’s very important, but for us, it’s dispensable.”

Li Yang said: "It's hard to come here and make sure it's accurate before talking." He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number under the firelight. After a while, the call was connected and the old uncle's voice came: "Yang Yang, it's already noon.

Okay, how are you doing?"

Li Yang said: "Uncle, are you in the hospital?"

"Yes, your uncle and his family are here too. What's the matter?"

Li Yang said: "Ask my grandma what she needs to extend her life. We are afraid that we will take less and have to go back again."

"Okay, you wait."

The two of us cuddled together and waited anxiously. The temperature in the room was too low, and I was shivering with cold. It was really unbearable.

At this time, the call came: "Yang Yang, your grandma said that the monk left three things in total at that time. A talisman, a book and a pair of embroidered shoes. You mainly rely on the talisman and shoes to extend your life. It doesn't matter if you have books, you are a person."

It’s a token, but it’s better to have it, and she wants to return it to the monk with her own hands.”

After hanging up the phone, I said in the air-conditioning: "If you don't have the book, then you don't have it. Let's leave quickly."

Li Yang felt unwilling and turned around to leave. At this moment, I suddenly saw a blurry black figure standing in front of the closet, and it disappeared in a flash.

When I saw the black shadow, my heart skipped a beat. The shadow felt very much like the "old fairy" on the female master.

I looked at Li Yang and decided that it would be better not to say anything. One more thing would be better than one less thing. The female master also said that if she was surprised, just pretend she didn't see anything.

We walked outside and when we passed the closet, I glanced at it subconsciously. Unexpectedly, the door of the closet suddenly opened with a "squeak".
