At that time in Fengmen Village, Xiao Rui and I discovered such a strange mural in the underground stone chamber. Except for the strange mask, the man in the mural was holding what I saw in He Xiaoqiang's small bag.

The strange thing he arrived at was only much smaller than the one on the mural.

At that time, Tan Lei was pushed to the bottom of the well by Xiao Yang. Xiao Rui later discovered that Tan Lei at the bottom of the well had no facial features like the person on the mural. That Xiao Yang belonged to "Xiao" and later died between Xiao Rui and me.

We didn't go to the bottom of the well to check again, so many questions seemed to never be answered, but now I not only saw Tan Lei here again, but also saw the entity of the strange thing on the mural.

He Xiaoqiang was resting with his eyes closed. My mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how I could ask him about the origin of this thing. I felt more and more that He Xiaoqiang had many secrets in him, and they seemed to always be the same as mine.

There is some connection between the matter, but after thinking about it for a long time, I can't seem to think of any good way. If I took the initiative to mention that thing, with my strong and shrewd mind that is not consistent with my age, I would definitely guess that I would definitely get it from him.

What I saw in my bag, judging from what he said before, he would probably go crazy. But this is secondary. What I am worried about is that he will guess that I have seen such a thing, and in my heart

, I am not going to tell him these things. Even if I take him to Fengmen Village in the future, I am not going to take him to the basement of Granny Liu's house, otherwise it will involve more things, such as that mask, and all this

, is something I don’t want others to know.

I suddenly regretted writing these experiences into the novel. If He Xiaoqiang really read those stories, I could say that I made up some things myself, but there was no way I could escape the underground stone chamber.

, I sighed, thinking that I could only take one step at a time, and it was useless to think so much now.

I was still thinking wildly when I suddenly heard He Xiaoqiang groan. I looked at him hurriedly and saw that he had opened his eyes and his face was much better. Seeing me looking at him, He Xiaoqiang said: "It's okay."

After a pause, he asked again: "Have you seen her?"

I knew he was talking about Tan Lei. Anyway, I had told him this before and there was no need to hide it. I nodded and said, "Yes, but then she disappeared again."

He Xiaoqiang was a little absent-minded. He didn't know what he thought of. After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself: "This way you can be free and don't have to endure so much suffering."

I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence and asked: "What did you say?"

He Xiaoqiang did not answer me, and was silent for a while. After a while, he said, "Did you see all those things just now?"

I nodded and said, "What on earth is that thing? Why does it look like a monkey, but it still wears a mask on its face?"

"Strictly speaking, that kind of thing is not a pure living thing." He Xiaoqiang actually gave me a rare science education this time: "You should know something about Taoism, right?"

I nodded. Taoism is different from Taoism. One is a religious school and the other is a philosophical school. One founder is Zhang Daoling and the other founder is Laozi. Taoism is based on Taoist thought. They both emphasize doing nothing and letting nature take its course. However, in

Zhang Tianshi's generation began to pass down the method of exorcising ghosts. Could it be that the monster He Xiaoqiang mentioned was related to these?

He Xiaoqiang said: "Among so many religions, Taoism is the first to exorcise ghosts and subjugate them, but many people don't know that in addition to exorcising ghosts, Taoism is also extremely good at adopting and raising ghosts."

I was shocked. I had heard that people in Thailand raised imps, but I didn’t know that Chinese Taoism also had these things. Could it be that those monsters were raised imps?

He Xiaoqiang glanced at me, with a look of disdain on his face: "There are many people in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong who raise corpses, but that is already a terminal skill in Taoism. It can even be said that it is no longer Tao, but has degenerated into

It cannot be compared with the real Taoist magic."

"There are three altars in traditional Taoism, namely the Maoshan Altar, the Jingming Altar, and the Zhengyi Altar of Tianshi Tao. Anyone who truly raises ghosts must be sincere, but there is another

What the esoteric magic altar emphasizes is integrating the method of conquering ghosts into raising ghosts, constantly strengthening the hostility of these little ghosts. Compared with the traditional method of raising ghosts, this esoteric school has different requirements for the little ghosts it raises.

So high, there is no need to use stillborn babies, but the effect is no worse than those who use babies to raise ghosts. In some aspects, it is even more outstanding, because the more violent the hearts of those little ghosts, the more they want to

They need to vent it out, and the caster has been using the method of enslaving ghosts to control them, so their loyalty is far higher than that of ordinary imps."

He Xiaoqiang's tone was extremely calm, but in the dark night it made me feel horrified. I asked, "Are those monsters you mentioned created by others?"

He Xiaoqiang said: "They can't be regarded as ghosts yet. In fact, the eight wells in this old house are also a kind of formation. I told you the specific function is to transfer a person's memory and thoughts, but there are also

A higher-level formation based on this requires a total of seven people. Taoism says that the human body has seven qi, five internal organs and five qi, six internal organs and three burners, a total of seven qi. The spirituality of the seven qi is transformed into seven souls, so there are a total of seven qi.

Seven people were sacrificed in the seven wells, and the other empty well was used to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The entire formation design was to resurrect one person."

My heart skipped a beat: Could it be that the secret that the doppelgänger said was hidden in "The Old House" to resurrect Xiao Rui? But where can I find seven people like this? This kind of harming other people's lives for one's own purposes

I can't do it.

I was thinking like this, and suddenly I was shocked: seven people, seven photos, could it be said that the seven missing people were buried at the bottom of the well? Then I felt something was wrong. At least that Yuan Shushu was still alive outside.

Didn't turn into the monsters I saw.

He Xiaoqiang frowned and said: "This is also what I think I can't understand. The formation is absolutely unmistakable. Those monsters cannot be regarded as completely dead because the souls in their bodies have not been completely absorbed.

Of course, I can’t say he’s a kid, but I don’t understand why Yuan Shushu appears outside.”

I thought about it and said, "Could it be that you saw it wrong and that Yuan Shushu is still in this yard?"

He Xiaoqiang shook his head: "Those things will jump out and fight with people when they are provoked at any time. Firstly, they can protect their own territory. Secondly, they can also deprive the other party of their vitality for their own use, which can speed up the resurrection of that person. You just

These are the things that catch up with you when you come up from the bottom of the well. The reason why you are not allowed to look down at them is because their eyes have a hypnotic ability that can easily make you fall into the environment. I also rely on the talisman seal.

I temporarily suppressed them, but at night those talismans could not suppress them, so they came up from the bottom of the well. I could see clearly that there were definitely six heads, not seven, so Yuan Shushu must be outside.

Not here."

I yelled: "You know they will come out at night and yet you dare to stay here. Are you trying to kill people?!"

He Xiaoqiang said calmly: "The effect of my talisman and seal will disappear at night, but night is also the time when those things are at their weakest, and only at this time can I remove them."

I still couldn’t get rid of the anger in my heart: “When did you learn to be a good person? You don’t care what they do here. Almost no one comes in here anyway. If you had been negligent just now, you would have killed me!”

He Xiaoqiang was silent for a while and said, "But this way she can be freed."

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Who?"

He Xiaoqiang said: "The dry well that attracts the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not that simple to play its due role. It requires a person's soul as a medium. This person must be a pure Yin woman, and as a medium

, even if she has become a ghost, she must endure great pain."

He Xiaoqiang stopped talking here, but I already knew who he was talking about. I didn’t know what to say for a moment. Maybe everyone in the world is a tool that he can use, but for his parents

, He Xiaoqiang is more filial than anyone else and more willing to sacrifice, whether it is other people's lives or his own.

I sighed and said, "She's gone, but you won't find anyone to ask your questions." The question I mentioned was He Xiaoqiang's doubts from the beginning about why Tan Lei just looked at me and ignored me.

Of course, I think he will ask more questions, such as what secret is hidden behind her death and what secret is behind the jade pendant of the He family, but now it seems that everything is impossible.

He Xiaoqiang smiled: "As long as the answer exists, we will definitely find a way to find it. In my opinion, her liberation is far more important than those answers." After a pause, he calmed down his expression.

Smiling, his voice became cold again: "What's more, since he has laid such a trap for me, if he says that he doesn't know the purpose of this formation, I don't think anyone will believe it. Now that I have destroyed it, he

Sooner or later he will definitely come to me, maybe I can know more from him."

I knew who he was talking about, but I didn't know what to say. I sighed, and suddenly thought of a question, and asked: "If, as you said, those monsters can absorb other people's vitality and speed up that person's resurrection,

Why didn't the people who originally designed this formation learn from the ancient emperors and just send more people here to let them kill them, wouldn't the effect be better?"

This is a question that lingers in my mind. I don't think the people who designed these formations care about human life, nor do I think they are really afraid of what will happen if they take human lives. Just look at Yuan Shushu and the others.

It has been missing for so many years and no one has found it, not to mention so many people disappearing across the country every year. It is not impossible to do such a thing.

He Xiaoqiang shook his head: "This approach has no effect at all, because these things are extremely violent, so the best targets are people who have been scared to death, so that the vitality in them can be absorbed."

Something moved in my mind: In the story "The Old House", everyone who came into contact with the green brick and jade pendant of the old house died violently in the end, and everyone's appearance before death was extremely terrifying, as if they had seen something terrible. Is it possible?

Is it related to what He Xiaoqiang said?
