Chapter 68: The Way of the Underworld

I have no way to hide, so she fainted after the situation briefly said again, fat man added that the old sheepskin is infiltrated into the people’s class enemy, Ding Sishen said how is this possible? Fatty pointed at me and said: “He said, go back and open the reasoning of the struggle to expose the old sheepskin gangster face.”

I had to tell the truth: “We have not closed our eyes for two days and one night, I am worried that the guys are too tired to resist, are asleep, the old sheepskin will do something stupid, so find an excuse to tie him up, but I can’t think of a thousand careful, ten thousand careful, but still out of order, do not look at the old sheepskin usually do not talk much, but he is very positive idea, recognized the things that the nine oxen can not pull back, I think he must be superstitious thinking, but the old sheepskin is a very good idea, I think the old sheepskin is a good idea. I think he must be superstitious thinking serious, want to go to his brother sheep two eggs to attract the soul.”

With this period of time contact, I dare to assert that the old sheepskin is sure to wake up early, and then stealing back to that underground chamber to find that mysterious copper box, just we sleep too much, do not know how long he has gone, and now again from the back to catch up, I am afraid that it is also too late.

Fatty said: “good ah old Hu, you’re an unlucky child and new take me as a big razor blade to play, I thought you are vigilant enough to find out the new trends in the class struggle, it turns out that the old sheepskin is still the old sheepskin ah, now what to do? Let’s hurry back to the secret room to find him or what? I …… I just fell asleep, but also dreamed of the female corpse in that secret room, that cold icy ghost face can be really fucking evil, but my heavenly warrior anger rushed to the sky, sweeping thousands of troops such as the attack roll, it even the soul with the flesh, all kicked into the pile of historical dust in the big garbage heap.”

Ding Sitian heard the fat man’s words and exclaimed in a low voice, “Ah …… how come you also dreamed of that female corpse, Little Fatty? I …… I just dreamed about it too, I don’t know if you guys feel it or not, anyway, I think …… that female corpse …… she . . she’s still alive ……”

I just heard the fat man’s dream words, I know that he was dreaming of that big Xianbei witch, I can’t imagine that Ding Sishen also had the same dream, the two may belong to the coincidence, all three dreamed of the same dead person, that’s really a hell of a thing, and the kind of feeling that Ding Sishen said, I also practically experienced, but it seems that it is not the feeling of the living person, non-intuitive, difficult to describe in words, just a Strong feeling, a feeling that makes the whole body hairy, is a clear feeling of the deceased’s ghosts still wandering around the horror of the feeling, although the materialist should not have this kind of idea, but if the ghosts of the dead after death have some kind of aura, then in the middle of that chamber, this kind of undead-like aura is extraordinarily strong.

Fatty and I, Ding Sishen three a little bit of deliberation, they made a decision, even if the chamber really have ghosts, but also have to go back, we must find the old sheepskin, alive to see people, dead to see the body, even if he had done the tomb robbers, according to the composition of the division, should also belong to the majority of the unity of the people can be, that the bucket of the craftsmen, based on the craftsmen to eat, and there is no production capital, at most a handicraftsmen, with us! Belong to the internal contradiction of the people, and the theft of the tomb of the tomb owner, almost exclusively in the working people on the opposite side of the exploitative ruling class, and then to a greater extent, the various heroes and heroes of the rebellion, most of the heroes have to excavate the mausoleum of the emperor, from the Red Eyebrows to Zhang Xianzhong, the ancient peasant army did not do this kind of thing not much, so at the time we do not think that there is nothing wrong with the fighting back of the handicraftsmen, that the evil of the old society, how much blood of the poor? The old society, how many poor people’s blood and tears revenge ah, not pouring not against can? In any case, we have to get the old sheepskin back.

I would like to let Ding Sishen and Fatty stay, from me to find the old sheepskin, but Ding Sishen despite the body weak, gritting their teeth to follow along, had no choice but to three people together and then go back, then we have a preconceived subliminal concept of the female corpse that does not rot, although the mouth did not say, but in the subconscious mind, take it as a white bone spirit a class of female monsters, so unconsciously read “The golden monkey rises a thousand pounds stick, the jade clarifies ten thousand miles of Egypt, today cheered Sun Da Sheng, only because the demon atmosphere and come back” to give themselves courage, we walked and read to encourage each other, it is strange, but also a little bit of fear did not feel, see the spirit of the atomic bomb is really not blown out of the original way to find the original way, and soon once again circled back to the door of that secret room. .

The fat man is still rambling about all the reactionaries are paper tigers to give the crowd courage, I pressed his mouth, said to him and Ding Sistern: “Do you have any feeling that there are changes in this neighborhood? It seems like it’s not quite the same as when we first came here.”

Ding Si sweet is naturally more sensitive: “It seems …… as if that ghost in the secret room is not there anymore, there is not the kind of hairy feeling that came to this place for the first time …….”

She is right, I have felt different in front of the door of this chamber, the darkness of that kind of intimidation from the underworld does not exist, not because of our spiritual atomic bomb added to their own courage, but the chamber let a person panic and uneasy things have disappeared, is that wearing a mask of the female corpse is no longer there?

Unknown apprehension, than a direct threat, more people feel uneasy in the heart, rather than guessing in front of the door, not as good as seeing is believing, go in to see a real, think of this, the three of us indoors called the name of the old sheepskin a few times, to see no half a point of the response, will be close together into the chamber, with the engineer lighting tube in all directions, is still full of wolves, withered corpses of the ginseng and those rotting corpses piled up all over the place, and then to the inside! A look, we can not help but “eek” a sound.

Surprisingly, the body of the masked witch was still lying calmly on the stone table, but this time when we saw it again, we could clearly feel that it was the same as the rest of the dead in the institute, only not a soulless shell, and that layer of the room seemed to be haunted by a shadowy spirit of the Wei already pressure feeling disappeared.

In our too fatigue and fall asleep, here must have happened what changes, I take the fat man and Ding Si sweet and then look at the rest of the place, there is no old sheepskin’s figure in the secret room, that dressed in black waist tie red tapestry rotting white sheep two eggs, but also flat on the ground, fat man smart guess: “the old sheepskin may be afraid to open his reasoning struggle, the result of the feet of the board wiping oil –slipped away, I see the most likely to escape to the national border to join Su Xiu to eat buttered bread to go.”

I shook my head and said, “Impossible, if he wanted to defect, he wouldn’t have come back to this chamber, when we left, I clearly remember kicking that box of the Yellow Fairy into the corner, but look at you guys, how did that brass box disappear? It must be that the old sheepskin came back to remove it again.”

Tinsel asked worriedly, “What did Grandpa Old Sheepskin do that for? And where has he gone now?”

I said, “Maybe the matter of that soul inviting box, he still has something to hide from us ……” Saying this I suddenly thought, this secret room suddenly does not have that ghostly feeling, most likely because of that mouth of the yellow skinned brass box is not there anymore, maybe from the beginning we are from the Perhaps from the beginning we blindly and subjectively made a wrong judgment, because see the female corpse in this chamber, and feel as if there are undead wandering around here, but in fact, that kind of uncomfortable from the bottom of the heart of the chilling atmosphere, are from the engraved yellow head of the copper box, the copper box was taken away by the old sheepskin, so the chamber did not have that ghostly and intangible atmosphere.

So far, we have not been able to learn that the box is loaded with what exactly, but it seems to be bad, not good, can not think of the old sheepskin’s motives, is the body in the chamber is not a sheep egg, otherwise the old sheepskin how would he leave him alone? Regardless of what the old sheepskin intends to do, he is now a very dangerous uncertainty.

I said to Fatty and Tinsel, “I don’t know where the old sheepskin is now, the hundred eyes cave has complex terrain and crisis, only with the three of us, trying to find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack, first withdraw and then discuss the way.”

The fat man said: “before leaving to this to a fire, lest leave a scourge.” His love of fire hooks, not waiting for others to agree, said he went to find a fire, this chamber has to be wooden planks and wooden bars, pulled a piece of white cloth used to cover things, looking for some alcohol poured on, and immediately started a fire.

I thought it was good to burn, dust to dust, earth to earth, leaving a hundred years of corpses, may not be the wish of the dead, burned skeleton, so as not to let them stay and make a fool of themselves, to see the fire increasing, we had to start to withdraw from the chamber, after the female corpse into the front of the time, I can no longer control the curiosity, there should not be any more danger, I’d like to see the dead why to wear a mask, and so with the KangXi treasure knife to pick the mask off the cover of the female corpse face, and who is the most important thing to do? In the face of the female corpse mask, who knows a look, the body actually does not have a face, the mask under the human face was dug a big hole, looks exceptionally horrible.

I only looked at a glance will feel terrible, then Ding Si sweet see me dawdling in the back, will look back at me, I hurriedly said to her don’t turn around, but the words finished, she also saw the hole in the face of the female corpse, was horrified and froze on the spot.

I suddenly moved in my mind, this female corpse without a face may be very fishy, but has not been too late to watch, the raging tongue of fire has swallowed the witch’s body, in fact, said the body, but only a human skin shell, blink of an eye was burned to ashes, only the metal mask in the fire with a golden-red color of the strange luster.

I can not imagine the fire spread, burned very intense, underground passageway smoke surging, fat man and I pulled the terrified Ding Si sweet, the three smoke and fire to take the road away, until the return to the ground floor in front of the door, only then stopped, discuss the next step should be where to go.

I just ran too fast, shoulder has been healed wound again in hidden do pain, I cover the wound to the fat man and others said: “in the northeast under the yellow skin temple, buried two with the human skin for the clothes of the weasel, the dead were hollowed out of the carcass is like a mouth of the human skin coffins, I just saw that the witch’s body inside is also empty, behind the mask may be for the old yellow skin to stay in place, it hides in the skin to play tricks and bewitch the people. It hides in the human skin to play God to bewitch the people, that the so-called witch may be so, it seems that in the Daxinganling Tuanshanzi yellow skin grave, almost is the exact imitation of this hundred eyes cave replica, only the scale of the situation are too much smaller.”

The fat man suddenly realized: “The original TuanShanZi that ghost yamen is imitation of the fake, this hundred eyes grotto is the entrance to the netherworld? Are we going to set another fire to destroy the exit, lest the hungry ghosts inside climb out and try to take over the power and change the sky, and then put the working people in the fire pit.”

In northeastern folklore, there are stone beasts towering over the mountain caves are densely populated, the depths of which is the gateway to the underworld, after the death of a person, a wisp of the soul is not, are going to run to that place, that is the world of the dead, inside the city and the pavilions and the human world, but is the world of the dead, does not belong to the living.

If the world has no ghosts, my recent attitude is a little fuzzy, because some things are really difficult to understand, but when it comes to the pavilions and palaces of the netherworld, will absolutely refuse to believe, heard the fat man said so, I scolded: “Nonsense, broad daylight, dry and clear, where there is what leads to the netherworld of the door, the so-called ghosts of the Yamen, is only a large group of burial tombs, buried inside more dead people, the dead are buried inside more dead people, the dead are buried inside more dead people. Inside the buried dead more, will be more and more evil, said to be the gathering of the spirits of the dead in the netherworld.”

Ding Sishen said: “When I was a child, I heard my grandmother tell many stories in the land and water map, there are a lot of torture in the netherworld, the deepest impression is that there is a small daughter-in-law, by the little ghosts will be the lower half of the body stuffed into the grinding eye of the stone mill, crushed into the pulp and blood froth, there is a black dog in the grinding edge of the blood, not been added to the net of the crushed meat flowed into a tile basin, in the afterlife will be maggots mosquitoes and flies for the world to beat, and the Being ground half of that little daughter-in-law upper body is still alive, listen to my grandmother said, to the elders of the ungrateful woman in death will end up like this, at that time really scared me all over the body all goosebumps, that kind of netherworld is simply too scary, hopefully the old sheepskin grandpa didn’t run into the back of the mountain of the ghost Yamen.”

Fatty said: “Si sweet you how to become more and more timid, even if the world is really in hell, our revolutionary materialists to go to that is also the flag of 100,000 beheading Yama Luo, to his cow head and horse face one by one post large print, seize the fight Yama Wang Laozi.”

I look around the fog does not gather, the sky is dark, see the sky is going to be dark again, we left the ranch has been two whole days and nights, I do not know whether the head of Ni sent out to look for us, or have to find a way to find the old sheepskin, or else can not be accounted for with the pastoral area, then interrupted the fat man said: “Okay, okay, you have not posted enough big-character newspaper? I see what the ghost Yamen or what ghost gate, are with us no direct stake, but now we have to go to the cave in the back of the mountain, because the old sheepskin has entered the back of the mountain, if that ghost Yamen is really the entrance to the netherworld, the old sheepskin is afraid to have already stepped into the path of the netherworld.”
