The mountains and fields are vast, and small buildings are located here. Lin Qian followed the fork in the road and got on the road. The road was not clean, but it was also dirty, at least there was not much yellow mud.
The motorcycle carrying passengers was driving on the road. Lin Qian stood on the side of the road, squinting his eyes slightly. In his field of vision, an old bus slowly passed by, its cold headlights shining in front.
He knew this car, a supernatural bus. Looking at the bus driving in the illusion, Lin Qian also understood at this moment that the other side of Tianshui Village was a supernatural place.
"It's a bit troublesome, but this time is also an opportunity. If the other side of Tianshui Village is a supernatural place, then as long as you go in by yourself, you can basically eat a large group of ghosts."
"As long as you don't commit suicide and don't destroy the suppression of your predecessors, you can do whatever you want."
Thinking of this, Lin Qian narrowed his eyes and recalled the address on the red letter, and according to the locals, he knew which team he was currently in.
As for the seventh team he was going to, he could see it just by walking along the road. It wouldn't take long.
Looking at this winding road, there are woods and bamboo gardens on both sides, a river passes under the road, and the cliff ends at the end.
Looking at all this, Lin Qian started to think:
"You can't spend too much time here. Go there as soon as possible. If you can enter another Tianshui Village, then go in and have a look. If you can't, forget it."
Thinking of this, Lin Qian no longer hesitated, her body flashed green and red, Lin Qian and Coco disappeared instantly, and a blue mark flashed towards the front of the road.
Above the dark sky, clouds rolled and relaxed, and the sun was shrouded by clouds, unable to break through this layer of cover.
In front of an old house, a flash of green and red flashed, and Lin Qian, holding a red umbrella, appeared in front of the old house.
"Is this the destination of the letter?"
Lin Qian looked at the dilapidated two-story building with serious eyes. Around it, Lin Qian did not see any ghosts or anything unusual.
It was as if this was just an old house with a long history. The old house was very dilapidated, the door was broken, the ground was covered with dust, and a smell of decay surrounded the nose.
Lin Qian frowned. This place seemed too ordinary. Sometimes ordinary is the most extraordinary, especially in a place like this.
Looking at this ordinary old house, Lin Qian's eyes flashed. He hesitated for a while before walking in. He had to deliver today's letter, and the people here could not be let out.
squeak
The door was pushed open, stirring up a puff of dust. Lin Qian waved his hand to disperse the floating dust.
The style of the old house is a bit strange, a bit like European style, but also a bit like the style of the Republic of China.
“Chinese-European mix?”
Lin Qian frowned, looked around, and found that it was indeed different from the Republic of China style in his impression. It looked very strange.
Lin Qian looked up and saw that the ceiling of the old house had been shattered and several cracks were spreading.
The surroundings were dim, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. You could clearly leave a footprint when walking on it.
There are not many rooms on the first floor, only two or three. The doors of these rooms have collapsed and weathered.
Lin Qian looked at this scene and didn't pay attention to these rooms. They were normal and there were no ghosts inside.
On the side of the first floor, there was an old winding staircase. The handrails of the stairs had long been corroded by time and became tattered. Lin Qian walked towards the stairs.
The floor was full of cracks and looked like it would break at any time. Lin Qian didn't care about this. He was now in the ghost realm of the red umbrella. He would basically not leave any traces when touching these things, and he didn't have to worry about himself.
Break these floors down.
The thing he was looking for should be on the second floor. He could feel that there was something strange and ominous on the second floor.
Walking up to the second floor, Lin Qian stopped at the top of the stairs. What he saw was only one room, a room made entirely of blue bricks. There was no keyhole on the door of the room, it was just welded shut.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed, the ghost realm could not invade this room, something was blocking his ghost realm.
"A room made of gold? What is in it?"
Lin Qian walked to the door of the room, reached out and gently touched the blue bricks above, and a coldness appeared in his hands.
He stretched out his hand and squeezed hard, the bluestone broke into pieces, and a piece of golden color came into view. It was indeed gold as he thought.
Lin Qian narrowed her eyes and knocked lightly. The sound was very dull and not too thick.
"It's a bit troublesome. What's in such thick gold?"
Lin Qian stared at this ordinary-looking room, feeling a little guilty.
If he wanted to deliver a letter, he would definitely have to open the door to the room, but the existence inside gave Lin Qian a headache. He rushed in without knowing the situation, and he was also a little panicked.
Lin Qian looked at the room hesitantly, a little silent. What he encountered today was very strange. Basically, there were ghosts along the way. The living people and the ghosts were in mirror images, and there were also those who used corpses to grow vegetables on the roof.
people.
Today, Tianshui Town has reached an unbelievable level of weirdness. If it was said that it was done by people from the Republic of China, Lin Qian would not believe it to death. The old people from the Republic of China did not have this kind of ability, so they could not do this kind of thing.
In the dim corridor, Lin Qian stood in front of the room, the red light in his eyes flickering. He didn't know what was in this room, but he knew that this room might be the source of Tianshui Village, or it might be the place to enter the mirror world.
Entrance.
Neither of these two guesses was good news. Lin Qian let out a breath and reached out to take off the ghost glasses. Coco reached out to take the ghost glasses and put them on her face.
Lin Qian rubbed Coco's head. The blood-red holes looked particularly eerie in the darkness.
"Go in and take a look, there's no use hiding."
Thinking of this, Lin Qian directly stretched out his hand and inserted it into the gold. The gold was not hard, and Lin Qian easily left five finger holes in it.
Looking inside through the five small holes, nothing could be seen inside. Lin Qian was not surprised. His body was flashing green and red, and the ghost realm spread along the five small holes.
Lin Qian disappeared in an instant and entered the room. After entering the room, Lin Qian shrank slightly.
There was nothing in the room, it was very empty. There was only a dark mirror in the corner of the room.
The surface of the mirror is dark, and the frame is made of old locust wood. There are simple small characters carved on each side of the frame, which are carved with small seals.
The mirror frame on the left was engraved with the word "Yang", and on the right was the word "Yin". Lin Qian looked at the mirror with solemn eyes. He guessed correctly that the things in this room were the source of Tianshui Village.
This mirror was the entrance to another Tianshui Village. Lin Qian's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a while. Seeing that there was no movement in the mirror, he walked towards the mirror.
When I came to the mirror, a sense of depression came from the darkness in the mirror, and the chill and horror were growing.
Lin Qian let out a breath of cold air and took out the red letter from his pocket. But the moment Lin Qian took out the red letter, a big blood-red hand suddenly stretched out from the mirror.
He grabbed Lin Qian's arm and pulled it towards the mirror. Lin Qian's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of disbelief:
"What the hell, the starving ghost was suppressed instantly, without even a chance to restart!"
Before Lin Qian could figure out what was going on, he was pulled into the mirror. Darkness rolled in, and the room became even more gloomy. An old man appeared outside the room door, staring at the finger hole inserted by Lin Qian.
, shook his head, didn't say anything, just silently filled the five small holes.
In the dark rooms, Lin Qian's eyes suddenly opened, full of horror:
"What level of evil spirit can he almost suppress a starving ghost to death?"
"Little guy, what are you doing? Why don't you get away from the mirror quickly?"
An old voice sounded in Lin Qian's ears. Lin Qian was startled and turned around to look over. It was at this time that Lin Qian noticed the situation here.
He is currently in a room with a very retro layout, with a mahogany bed beside the wall and a table not far away.
An old man with gray hair and a slight hunchback was sitting at the table, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Lin Qian stared at the old man, then turned to look behind him. There was a mirror hanging there. The surface of the mirror was smooth and delicate, and the frame was very new. It looked no different from the one that had just been made.
"Little guy, don't look at it. If you want to go out, you have to take a car. You can't get out from here."
The white-haired old man looked at Lin Qian, noticed Lin Qian's gaze, smiled and said.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed red, she moved slightly, left the mirror, stared at this strange old man, and remained silent for a while before asking:
"Are you the recipient of this letter?"
"Ah, it's me. You are the fastest messenger I have ever seen delivering letters. You actually arrived two days early. I'm not dead yet."
The old man looked at Lin Qian with a smile, his cloudy eyes showing no expression at all.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Qian's eyes twitched:
"Did you just bring me in?"
"Well, it's me. Your strength is not weak, and the devil in your body is ridiculously strong. If my body and bones weren't still good, I might have let you run away."
The old man was sincere and had no intention of hiding anything. He admitted it openly.
Seeing the old man admitting it so simply, Lin Qian didn't know what to say. She looked at the old man and didn't know what to do for a while.
It would definitely be difficult to fight, but it would be okay to run, but he didn't know what the situation was here. If he ran, some variables would likely occur.
I didn't hear what the old man said just now. Do you need to take a car to leave here? Lin Qian probably knew what kind of car to take.
"Why did you bring me into this damn place?" Lin Qiancong asked after a long silence.
Hearing Lin Qian's question, the old man laughed, took out a red umbrella from under the table and threw it to Lin Qian. Lin Qian immediately reached out and took it. This thing originally belonged to him.
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to see what the young people of this era are capable of. Now that I've seen it, I'm a little disappointed, but overall it's pretty good."
The old man sat up, put his hands behind his back, and walked toward the door. As he walked, he waved to Lin Qian and told him to follow.
Lin Qian hesitated slightly, but after looking at the red umbrella in his hand and the old man's strength, Lin Qian silently followed the old man, not for any other reason but because he couldn't beat him.
The old man pushed open the door to the room, and what he saw was a dark sky. Lin Qian looked at the sky and was already sure where this place was.
Following the old man out of the room, there was a street outside, a deserted street, with black figures standing motionless among the shops on both sides of the street.
The layout of the street was exactly the same as that of Tianshui Town in reality. Lin Qian looked back and saw that the room he had walked out of had disappeared and was replaced by a shop with a ghost standing inside.
"Little guy, do you know where this is?"
The old man suddenly asked a rather strange question.
Lin Qian looked back at the old man. The old man did not look back and kept walking slowly on the street. Lin Qian thought for a while and shook his head:
"have no idea."
The old man was not disappointed when he heard Lin Qian's answer. He turned to look at the little guy walking beside him, smiled and said:
"It's normal not to know. Only young people like you know about ghosts. The inheritance has been discontinued since the Republic of China. It's normal not to know."
The old man's voice was very old, with a hint of regret in his tone.
"Does the little guy know the eighteen levels of hell?"
"Know."
Upon hearing the old man's question, Lin Qian just said calmly: "I know."
The old man nodded and led Lin Qian onto a bridge. This bridge, Lin Qian knew, was the Tianshui Bridge in reality. Except that this bridge was older than the one in reality, the rest could be said to be...
Exactly the same, exactly the same.
Walking onto the bridge, there is the Tianshui River under the bridge, but this is different from the Tianshui River in reality. The Tianshui River in reality is very shallow, and the river bed can be seen at a glance from the shallowest place.
But it was different here. The river was as dark as ink and bottomless. Lin Qian looked into the depths of the river and could see the shadow of a big fish looming in it. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of chains colliding with each other.
Lin Qian's eyes flashed red, and he was always vigilant. He couldn't do what was inside.
Lin Qian didn't feel it outside, but now that he was inside, the coldness and terror rushed towards his face. Just standing on the bridge, Lin Qian felt like he was on top of the huge mouth of the abyss.
Walking onto the bridge, the old man did not walk forward, but stood on the bridge with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the river, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.
The cold wind blowing from the river blew over the old man's face, and his snow-white hair fell behind him.
Lin Qian's windbreaker was no longer black at this moment, but turned into blood red, and the half of the word "hi" on the windbreaker looked weird and inexplicable.
Coco huddled in Lin Qian's arms, staring straight at the river, or to be precise, at the ghost fish in the river, and swallowed from time to time.
From the beginning to the end, the old man never glanced at Coco, not even out of the corner of his eye. Lin Qian didn't care about this. He had never figured out the secret of Coco. He also asked people from the Republic of China period.
Several of them avoided talking about it, and no matter how much I asked, they were unwilling to tell.
"Eighteen levels of hell, tongue pulling, scissors, iron trees, evil mirrors, steamers, copper pillars, mountain of knives, icebergs, oil pans, cattle pits, stone pressure, spring mortars, blood pools, wasted death, torture, volcanoes, stone mills,
Knives and saws, in legend, represent a total of eighteen kinds of sins, that is, eighteen kinds of torture."
"Actually, this is just farting. The eighteen levels of hell are actually just eighteen supernatural objects, that is, a supernatural place."
The old man turned his head and looked at Lin Qian with a smile, and said suddenly.
"In the era of our predecessors, that is, my era, the eighteen levels of hell existed, but they were not the eighteen levels of hell in myths and legends, but ghosts or artifacts."
"At that time, we almost died because of this terrifying existence, but we were very lucky. There is a saying that is true, in troubled times, there will be people who are destined to appear."
"Well, according to you, he is a genius. Anyway, the meaning is the same. In that era, various existences that controlled the complete evil ghost appeared."
"Their appearance brings vitality to future generations, which is the chance to survive."
"They shattered the eighteen levels of hell, used their laws to form supernatural places, and dismembered countless evil ghosts and imprisoned them, causing them to fall into a cycle of death."
"This is basically the origin of the supernatural land, and the place where you and I are is also a hell called the Evil Mirror Hell."
Speaking of this, the old man looked at Lin Qian, his eyes full of sighs. Lin Qian shrank slightly when he heard this secret.
Lin Qian stared at the river, his eyes flashing red, and he kept digesting the old man's words in his heart.
Seeing Lin Qian's silent look, the old man didn't care and continued:
"However, my evil mirror hell is not complete. It has also been shattered and divided into three parts, which are three ghost mirrors."
"These three ghost mirrors have been used to imprison evil ghosts from the past until now. The three ghost mirrors are interconnected, but there is no connection."
"And I control one ghost mirror, so I cut off the communication with the other two ghost mirrors. After all, the things I hold here cannot be released, and I can't let them go into the other two ghost mirrors."
The old man looked at the slightly rippled river, his eyes a little blurry, and turned to look at Lin Qian:
"Little guy, do you know why the post office delivers the letter?"
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Qian silently shook his head:
"I don't know, I just thought the letter from the post office was to suppress you."
"Huh? Suppress me? Just rely on this broken letter?" The old man looked at Lin Qian doubtfully.
Lin Qian:……
Lin Qian was a little numb now. He felt that the more he listened to what the old man said, the more he felt that he could not do it.
Seeing that Lin Qian didn't speak, the old man didn't care either. He shook his head and said:
"Suppressing it to the extreme is not suppressing me, but suppressing a fierce ghost."
"Fire ghost? Are you serious?" Lin Qian turned around and looked at the old man in surprise, somewhat confused. What kind of evil ghost needs to be suppressed with a letter?
According to the old man's strength, even a fierce ghost that he can't deal with, can a letter be enough?
"Well, it's a ghost, a ghost that entered the ghost mirror not long ago. This ghost is very weird. Because I control a ghost mirror, it can't enter me."
"But I entered the other two ghost mirrors. I didn't care at first. After all, the ghost mirrors were originally used to imprison evil ghosts. It turned out that I was wrong."
"This evil ghost ate up all the evil ghosts in the two ghost mirrors with less than one use. Or maybe it shouldn't have been eaten. This ghost seemed to have used all the evil ghosts that were less scary than itself as puzzle pieces."
"As long as you are suppressed by this fierce ghost, you will instantly become its puzzle piece, without exception."
"Also, almost all the ghosts that have become the puzzle piece of this evil ghost have fallen into a strange silence, seemingly unable to recover, similar to a freeze. This is a ghost that I have never seen before, and it is very strange."
Lin Qian looked at the old man and fell into silence. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He felt that this ghost was a bit familiar.
