Lin Mo's history knowledge is not very good, and his knowledge of geography is average.
He took the opportunity to secretly ask Xiaoyu, and asked her one thing: Liangcheng was a place name a hundred years ago, so what does it correspond to the current place name.
Xiaoyu was a top student and answered immediately.
She said that Liangcheng should be a small town near Black Crow City, but there had been a great plague and many people died. This was recorded in history textbooks.
But at that time, there were wars everywhere, and a plague in a small town with a few thousand people was not a big deal at all.
Lin Mo nodded.
That's right...
Just now Yuan Xiuqing said that what they dug out of the soil was a bronze door. Lin Mo immediately thought of the bronze door in the junk alley. It is most likely the same one.
If you look at it this way, many things will be explained.
That's why there are copper doors under the junk alleys around Black Duck City, and why Yuan Xiuqing is so fierce and powerful when he becomes a dead man in black.
Because when Yuan Xiuqing was alive, he was a master of the Hidden Sect and an expert in eating the dead. This kind of person must have had a backup plan, and he would still be famous after death.
But this brings up another thing.
Both his father and Granny Xu had mentioned to him before that it was the 'karma' of Yuan Xiuqing, the dead man in black.
Cause and effect is something that can only be found in the 'Memory Gate'.
But according to what Mrs. Xu said, someone secretly infected Han Feng with Yuan Xiuqing's karma, and karma is contagious. After spending a day and night with Han Feng, she and Han Feng found that apart from Han Feng, she was the one with the strongest aura of karma.
So after Yuan Xiuqing, the dead man in black, killed Han Feng, he came to find him.
These are all things that have already happened.
The question is, who brought out Yuan Xiuqing’s cause and effect, and why did he plant it on Han Feng?
What is the other party’s purpose?
Lin Mo feels that the most suspicious person at present is the mysterious No. 1.
Han Feng is the chess piece No. 1, so this is the most reasonable guess.
If it was really planned by No. 1, the other party must have made big moves.
There is no way to speculate more, and any further speculation is just a wild guess, and wild guesses are generally not accurate.
Now Yuan Xiuqing obviously doesn't know what happened next. If everything happening here now is a memory of Yuan Xiuqing's past.
Then, this memory is what happened in the past.
And no matter what Yuan Xiuqing does, it is estimated that it will fail, because if it succeeds, the other party will not become a dead man in black in the copper gate.
It's like experiencing an immersive movie plot.
The plot of this movie is written to death, and it will definitely follow a certain route. Lin Mo can participate in it, but it will definitely not change the outcome.
Moreover, even if it changes, it only changes the memory and will not change the established facts that have already happened in the real world.
For this reason, Lin Mo was not particularly interested.
Of course he won't show this.
Yuan Xiuqing was ready and came over to call Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's original intention was not to let Xiao Yu follow, but Xiao Yu insisted on following.
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Mo asked her.
Xiaoyu shook her head. She said this place was so weird that she didn’t believe anyone else.
The implication is that she trusts herself more.
Lin Mo asked her why she believed in him so much.
"I don't know either. Anyway, it's more practical to follow you." Xiao Yu herself was confused.
Lin Mo knew that this was a habit.
In the past, Xiao Yu was inseparable from her, always carrying her close to her. Even though her memory was confused, this habit still affected her.
"Okay." Lin Mo agreed.
Firstly, he was sure that he could protect Xiaoyu, and secondly, he only had one black umbrella. If he gave it to Xiaoyu, he would be exposed, which was also troublesome.
When Yuan Xiuqing saw that a little girl wanted to follow him, he was a little unhappy, but because he was the one asking Lin Mo for help, he didn't say anything.
"This black umbrella has its origins, but we have to go down the well later. This little girl doesn't have the ability to deal with evil spirits, so it's better not to come down. You can keep the umbrella for him. I'll lend you this, and it can also block the yang energy." Yuan Xiuqing
He is an expert.
And he was an expert more than a hundred years ago.
At this time, he handed Lin Mo a gold ingot folded from yellow paper, saying that wearing it could block the breath of a living person in a short period of time.
Lin Mo was more concerned about what the other party said just now, "Go down the well".
"What well?"
"You'll know when you get there." Yuan Xiuqing took the lead and climbed over the wall.
Lin Mo asked him, isn't this your old house? Why do you want to climb over the wall?
Yuan Xiuqing said that the door lock was broken a long time ago and could not be opened, so it was easiest to climb over the wall.
After all three people climbed over, Lin Mo was sure that when Yuan Xiuqing said going down into the well, he was referring to the well he climbed out of before.
That's the one with the giant looking at the corpse inside.
The bronze door is actually down there?
How did you get it down?
This question swirled in Lin Mo's mind, but he didn't ask it because he remembered that this place was not the real world, but the nightmare world in Yuan Xiuqing's memory.
It should be that they hid the copper door underground in this house in the real world.
There are differences between the real world and the nightmare world.
Maybe, there is no such well in the current world.
The actual situation was the same as Lin Mo guessed. Yuan Xiuqing said it himself without him asking.
It is said that they hid the bronze door under the courtyard and buried it. As for this well, it was the passage left by Yuan Xiuqing in the nightmare world.
"We can't dig soil in this place, it will be very tiring."
At this time, Yuan Xiuqing had already rolled up her robe, rolled up her sleeves, and took the lead to dive down.
Lin Mo originally wanted to tell the other party that there was a corpse down there, but when he thought about it, it was Yuan Xiuqing who made the well. How could the other party not know that there was a corpse down there.
Maybe Yuan Xiuqing created the giant floating corpse.
The result hits the nail on the head.
Lin Mo looked down at the mouth of the well and happened to see Yuan Xiuqing talking to the floating corpse below. He couldn't understand what he said. Anyway, after a few words of muttering, the floating corpse sank into the turbid well water. After a while, the water below
It actually decreased rapidly as if it was being drained away, and soon a deep pit downwards was revealed.
"Let's go down." Yuan Xiuqing raised her head and said hello, then reached out to grab the protruding bricks on the well wall and climbed down. She was very skilled.
Lin Mo looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to come down from this well. Lin Mo thought for a while and then released half of the ghost shadows, letting the ghost shadows get into Xiao Yu's shadow.
"You guys are protecting Xiao Yu."
Several ghost figures nodded quickly.
These ghosts have been following Lin Mo for a while. They are not weak and can deal with ordinary nightmares.
Maybe he thought it wasn't safe, so Lin Mo thought about it and handed the brick hammer to Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, this is my favorite. You should keep it safe. If you encounter something that wants to harm you, don't be polite and just hit that thing on the head."
Xiaoyu holds the brick hammer and seems to have a lot of confidence.
She had seen it with her own eyes before. Lin Mo used this hammer to kill the lanky ghost.
After explaining, Lin Mo also got into the well.
Lin Mo's physique was very strong, so climbing was effortless. Although it was dark underground, Yuan Xiuqing had lit a lamp below and could see a glimmer of light.
It's very deep down there and the walls of the well are slippery, so Lin Mo moves very carefully.
After descending for more than ten meters, I saw the bottom.
Yuan Xiuqing was already waiting for Lin Mo below. He was holding a candle. When he saw Lin Mo coming down, he took another one and lit it and handed it over.
"This candle is specially made and can ward off evil spirits."
Lin Mo nodded.
The candle was cold to the touch, and it was not white wax.
It's red wax, blood red. This kind of candle is usually used for weddings.
After going down to the bottom of the well, Lin Mo looked around and felt bad.
He originally thought that this well was a passage out of this memory world, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Is the exit a copper door?
Lin Mo thinks it shouldn't be the case, but this needs further verification.
In addition, it is said to be the bottom of the well, but in fact the wellhead is more like the mouth of a gourd, and the space below is much larger.
Lin Mo saw the copper door.
It's standing over there, and it looks exactly like the one down in the junk alley.
Obviously, the previous speculation was correct. A hundred years ago, Yuan Xiuqing and a group of tomb robbers dug out this bronze door from somewhere and hid it here.
And this copper door is the one under the second-hand goods alley.
Lin Mo knew that all copper gates were a kind of 'pollutant'. Wherever the copper gates were, the surroundings would be invaded by nightmares. This was the case in Liang City a hundred years ago.
But at that time, the pollution ability of the copper gate was still very poor, and it only polluted an area.
The copper door in front of me is tied up with thin red threads, which are densely packed. There are more than a dozen talismans attached to the red threads, which looks very evil.
Looking at the ground again, there were more red strings and broken talismans scattered.
At this time, the copper door suddenly shook.
With a few bangs, many thin threads were broken, and the talisman on them seemed to be torn to pieces by something and scattered on the ground.
The red thread and talisman paper were probably made by Yuan Xiuqing.
It's like a banning method.
But this method is gradually becoming ineffective.
When Yuan Xiuqing saw this, his face turned pale and he said: "This thing is a very dangerous thing. If I had known about it, I shouldn't have dug it out."
This is nonsense.
You've already dug it out, so what's the point of talking about it?
Lin Mo asked him what his next plan was. Was he planning to find someone to transport the bronze door back and bury it again?
"It was too late. At first, the copper door was ordinary and nothing unusual was found. We just thought it was an ordinary antique. But then, for some reason, it changed. Something actually tried to push the door open from the inside.
.At that time, a few of us blocked the place with red lines and put up ghost symbols, and thought about asking someone for help, but it seemed that it was too late."
Lin Mo asked where are your accomplices.
Yuan Xiuqing smiled bitterly: "Maybe he ran away. I asked them to help guard this thing, but there is no one here. He must be afraid of getting into trouble and getting burned."
Yuan Xiuqing must be responsible for this. In fact, he could have run away, but he didn't.
On this point, Yuan Xiuqing said that he was a "clean stream" in the tomb robbing lineage, and Lin Mo now believed it.
"Brother Lin, now I can only find someone to stay here and light the bronze door with ghost-suppressing candles. Now I can't find anyone to help, so I can only ask you, Brother Lin. I will go outside to find someone for three days at most.
Will definitely come back.”
After hearing this, Lin Mo did not agree immediately.
He thought about it carefully.
This shouldn't be a normal 'plot'.
Because there is no one in the normal plot, Yuan Xiuqing is only one person. How did he deal with this matter at that time?
No one knows.
But the result was definitely a failure.
Now, should I agree to him?
Perhaps seeing Lin Mo's hesitation, Yuan Xiuqing also sighed: "I know this request is too much, but I really can't help it. Brother Lin is also a member of the Yin Sect, and I believe that I don't want to see the lives of people in ruins. If
Brother Lin really doesn't want to, so forget it, I can light a few more candles here and let the water ghost help take care of it."
The water ghost he was talking about must be the floating corpse.
This ghost thing really has something to do with Yuan Xiuqing.
However, what Yuan Xiuqing said made Lin Mo understand that this was probably the method Yuan Xiuqing used in the first place.
Then what happened to him?
How did you enter the Tongmen later?
Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, but now that the plot has advanced to this point, whether he agrees or not, Yuan Xiuqing will use this method to suppress Tongmen and then escape to seek help.
To figure out what's going on, you need to stay here.
So Lin Mo thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. If you say three days, then I'll wait for you for three days."
Yuan Xiuqing was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
However, time was pressing, so he immediately took out all the ghost-suppressing candles and lit them, placing them around the bronze door, making the place as bright as day.
Yuan Xiuqing said, although this candle is not long, one can burn for several days.
"Brother Lin, I'm going." Yuan Xiuqing cupped her hands towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo returned the favor.
Then Yuan Xiuqing took out a piece of talisman paper and pressed it on himself, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Lin Mo knew that the talisman was the same as his escape bean. The other party had woken up and returned to the real world.
This should have happened in the past.
Now Lin Mo was left alone. Although it was quite scary down here, Lin Mo didn't feel any fear at all.
Because it might take a long time to wait, Lin Mo let a few ghosts watch him first. He quickly climbed up and told Xiao Yu about the situation, and asked her to wait at the home of old Yuan Tou and his wife.
Xiaoyu didn't want to, but it was too dangerous down there to let her down. Lin Mo had no choice but to let her continue to wait at the mouth of the well. The next step was to wait.
Under the candlelight, although the bronze door also vibrated, the interval was longer. As a result, the red lines and talismans on it could theoretically last three days.
In Lin Mo's expectation, Yuan Xiuqing might come back. If not, how will the plot advance here?
So I definitely have to come back.
But after waiting for a whole day, Lin Mo discovered that Yuan Xiuqing might be back, but the way he came back was far beyond his expectation.
Here's the thing.
Lin Mo was waiting quietly when suddenly, he heard a crash from the copper door.
Very violent.
It seemed like someone was banging on the door inside.
In addition to the sound of banging on the door, there were other sounds faintly coming from inside the copper door.
Out of curiosity, Lin Mo listened closer and was stunned.
What came from the bronze door was Yuan Xiuqing's voice.
