Hearing Uncle Tang's words, I didn't even dare to go in. I touched the dagger in my embrace. "Uncle Tang, let's go in together. I don't know where we'll go without you leading me."
Uncle Tang said, "It's just a small house, there's no need to lead the way inside."
Even if he were to shirk everything in this manner, I have already lit a fire. Even if he wanted to scam me, I shouldn't be so brazen, right? Do I look like a retard?
I decided to lay out my cards. I coughed and said to Uncle Tang, "Is there a problem with this room, that's why you are unwilling to enter."
Uncle Tang's face changed instantly. He said in a hurt tone: "What's wrong with this? "I see you as my nephew. I won't harm you."
I have heard these kinds of words countless times in the Mr. Zhao. Every time I hear it, I would be in trouble, so I frowned.
The skinny man beside him also said, "Brother Hu, you can go in. I really didn't hurt you."
I spat, "Scram, who's your brother?"
The thin man shrunk back and did not dare to speak anymore.
I scratched my head and squatted down to tie my shoelaces. Then, I said to the Uncle Tang, "Then I'll be going in first."
Uncle Tang nodded and said happily, "Go in quickly."
I turned to leave, but then I turned my head and pointed behind him. Little Tang Wei, why are you here? "
The Uncle Tang was shocked, and turned around quickly. Taking advantage of the moment when he turned around, I grabbed Uncle Tang and pushed him into the small hut first.
The skinny man was dumbstruck. He pointed at me and said, "Brother Hu, why are you …"
I kicked him in.
At this moment, a strong gust of wind blows, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, making it hard for one to open one's eyes. I found a corner, covered my mouth and nose with one hand and wildly brandished my dagger with the other. After a few seconds, the wind finally stopped.
I opened my eyes and saw that the cabin was gone. Uncle Tang and the skinny guy were also gone.
I slowly got up from the ground and looked around me, a little dazed.
The houses and streets were gone. The Cypress City in the distance also disappeared. This was an endless wilderness. In the middle of the wilderness, there were two iron rails, coming from the darkness to the darkness. I stood by the rails. He suspected that he was dreaming.
I pinched myself hard and found that I was in a state of soul and didn't feel any pain at all. I thought for a moment, then used my dagger to make a light cut on my arm. A heart-wrenching pain made me scream.
I'm sure now that I'm awake.
At this moment, a weak voice came from behind me. "This is real."
Startled, I turned to see a woman standing behind me. The woman was short, thin, and her hair was a little yellow. Her eyes were always erratic and she did not dare to look into others' eyes.
I looked at her feet. She was also a ghost.
The woman whispered, "Benefactor, I won't harm you. Don't worry."
I frowned. "Benefactor?"
The woman whispered: "My name is Qin Yangshi, you saved me just now. Have you forgotten? "
I was stunned. "I saved you? Why didn't I know? Hm? "Could it be that the person the thin guy beat up was you?"
Qin Yangshi nodded, "I have more incense. He often robs me of incense and offerings. Today, when I really did not have any more, he became angry and thought that I had hidden my things and forced me to hand them over. "
I nodded and asked her, "What is this place?"
Qin Yangshi sighed, and said: "This is the world of ghosts. It's a world where countless vengeful spirits use their will to create a new world. "
I curiously asked, "What do you mean?" Why can't I understand it? "
Qin Yangshi explained, "After every ghost dies, they would look for the legendary Underworld. Their obsession would form a road, or a ship. The newly dead will take this path, board this ship, and search for the underworld. "
"In their search for the Underworld, they would form a new obsession based on the legends they heard while they were alive. Just like a group of ants, they slowly built their lair, and in the end, the lair turned into a world. "
"So I'm in a world that ghosts imagine?"
Qin Yangshi replied, "Those ghosts came to the Underworld, but their obsession stayed behind, and turned into a world like this. The world was changing. A few hundred years ago, this was a piece of farmland. As the number of new ghosts increased, bicycles, cars, trains … In short, the world is constantly changing, and new ghosts will constantly repair it. "
I nodded and asked Qin Yangshi, "You just said that those ghosts came to the Underworld?"
Qin Yangshi replied, "Yes. There was a saying, "To be honest, to be honest is to be open-minded." Maybe it was the ghost's obsession that moved the heavens. There really is a Nagzul who came here, borrowed the ghosts and brought them to the Underworld. "
I thought: This is exactly the same as Mr. Zhao's guess.
I asked Qin Yangshi, "Then how can I go to the Underworld?"
Qin Yangshi pointed to the rail line and said, "Every once in a while, a train will come and get us. Actually, there was no train hundreds of years ago. It was a carriage. Then there were the new ghosts, and then there was the train. I don't know what will happen in a few hundred years. "
I nodded. Since I had to wait for the train, there was no need for me to rush. I could just obediently stand here and rest for a while.
I was bored to death, so I paid attention to Qin Yangshi's dressing. Suddenly, I felt that her clothes didn't seem to be of recent times. Her name, too, sounded strange.
I voiced my doubts. After Qin Yangshi heard this, she couldn't help but lower his head. After a while, she said in a small voice, "That's right, I have lived here for many years. Hundreds of years? I don't remember very well. "
I became even more confused, "According to what you said, the Nagzul would come here every few years. Didn't he bring you away?"
Qin Yangshi said: "I was originally going to take me away, but I hid."
I was excited. Did I meet someone from the same sect? This Qin Yangshi had also seen through the tricks of the Nagzul and guessed that the so-called hell didn't exist?
Who would have thought that Qin Yangshi would say: "I … I didn't dare go to the Underworld, and I didn't have the face to go to the Underworld, so I hid myself every time. Fortunately Nagzul did not look for me earnestly and did not discover me. "
I became even more curious. "Why are you so ashamed to go to the Underworld?"
Qin Yangshi lowered her head even more. "I … "My surname is Yang, my name is..."
Halfway through her sentence, she shook her head. "No, I can't tell anyone my name."
She paused, then continued, "My husband's surname is Qin, and he has a single name. We were engaged to each other from a young age, but he died before I could get through the door. "
I said in wonder, "He died before he even passed the door? Then why are you called Qin Yangshi? "
Qin Yangshi said in a firm voice, "Even though I haven't gotten married, I have already been married to him. That's why I keep the feast for him. Change your name to Qin Yangshi, and you will never be married … "
I was stunned.
Qin Yangshi then said: "My actions were praised by the county. They gave me a chastity memorial and wrote me down. So even though I never had a baby, I'm not short of incense and paper money. "
I scratched my head. "Isn't this …" Isn't that a great honor? Why don't you have the face to go to the Underworld? "
Qin Yangshi said in a low voice: "After I died, I met some new ghosts. The new ghosts said, "What kind of feudal crap am I? I've taught a lot of children."
Qin Yangshi sighed: "Actually, I don't believe what they said. I did the right thing. I have a clear conscience. "
I didn't argue about this with Qin Yangshi. She was a person from hundreds of years ago, so it was normal for her to be unable to accept the views of modern people.
Qin Yangshi said: "The reason why I don't have the face to go to the Underworld is because I was thirty years old. I'll go to my husband's grave. On the way, I met a rogue. He saw that I had some looks, and wanted to force me over. "
"At that time, there weren't any pedestrians on the streets, so he dragged me to the roadside. No matter how I struggled, it was useless …"
I thought about it and felt a little angry. I didn't know how to comfort Qin Yangshi, so I could only say: "It's alright, this matter isn't your fault. The one who should go to hell is that scoundrel, it has nothing to do with you. King Yama will not blame you. "
Qin Yangshi looked at me in astonishment, then shook her head: "You misunderstand. He didn't get it. "
I heaved a sigh of relief. "If I can't get it, then it's even less of a problem."
Qin Yangshi said in a low voice: "He did not succeed, it was a passerby. I have no idea how the passer-by was made, or what he looked like. All I know is that he knocked the hooligan down with a flurry of blows. Then she helped me to my feet and whispered, Are you all right?
"I lowered my head and replied," Thank you. Then I ran home. I ran so fast that I forgot all about the rules. I went back to my bedroom, my heart still pounding. I was out of breath for a long time, and my heart didn't stop until dinner. "
"In my head, by my ears, there's always this saying: Are you okay?"
"Later on, this sentence accompanied me for the rest of my life. Even after I died in bed, I still couldn't forget it. I wanted to forget him, but I couldn't. I couldn't help myself. Especially in the dead of night, as I lay in bed, the more I thought about it the more painful it became, the more difficult it became. Sometimes she even got out of bed. The day of the imitator, I pretended to be the passer-by, reached out my hand, and said softly: Are you all right?
I looked at Qin Yangshi, not knowing what to say.
Qin Yangshi sighed: "I know, there is a evil mirror in the Underworld, so you can see what kind of thoughts you have in your heart. I didn't dare go to the Underworld because I knew I wasn't a woman at all. This is my secret, and I don't want anyone to know about it. "
