After Gao Ying heard this, he began to look carefully at Jiao Chaoming in front of him.
"That's right..." He suddenly felt that he could not refute Jiao Chaoming.
A month ago, there was almost no "troubles" in his life. In anyone's eyes, Gao Ying was an undoubted winner in life. He was proficient in various subjects, could speak fluent English, and passed the college entrance examination.
His dream is to major in journalism at Fudan University. His life is full of shining light. At that time, the distance between death and height was such a distant word, as far away as the distance between the earth and the sun.
Frankly speaking, for a person like Gao Ying who has rarely experienced any major setbacks in life, it is not easy for him to survive such a sudden change and survive until now. Even so, in the world of life and death,
, he has indeed gradually developed a strong sense of numbness towards the danger of death. The years of his glorious life as a top student seem to have happened in his previous life, just like... the distance between the earth and the sun. The only thing that truly supports him now is
Gao Ying was startled, he didn't quite understand what Jiao Chaoming meant.
"you……"
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gao Ying and Jiao Chaoming scanned all the furnishings in the room.
This room is obviously well-furnished. Not to mention tables and chairs, there is also an ink painting hanging on the wall. Gao Ying noticed that the brushwork of this painting was definitely not the work of a novice, but it must have been done by someone with considerable artistic attainments.
affectation.
However... if you look carefully, you will find that there are some yellow talisman papers stuck on the four corners of the walls, including the ceiling in the sky. This is not the first time Gao Ying has seen such a scene.
But soon... his eyes suddenly noticed... a cabinet standing in the room!
When he saw this cabinet, Gao Ying immediately became short of breath!
"It's...it!"
The first fill-in-the-blank question!
The big vermilion cabinet...
At this time, the moonlight shines through the window and reflects on the lock of the cabinet... a lifelike dragon is embroidered on it!
A lock with a dragon pattern! A vermilion cabinet! This is exactly the same as the first fill-in-the-blank question!
Jiao Chaoming also looked in the direction of the cabinet. Apparently, he had also noticed this.
The fill-in-the-blank question requires...fill in what exactly is in the cabinet!
(What...is there inside!)
Gao Ying swallowed. Although there was a lock on the cabinet, the lock had basically fallen off at this time. There was no problem in opening the cabinet. As long as you opened the cabinet, you could know what was inside. But the problem was...
If you open the cabinet like this, what will be inside???
Gao Ying was not sure that he would be able to answer the exam quickly after seeing the contents of the cabinet!
So... what to do?
Gao Ying and Jiao Chaoming exchanged glances. Although the two did not speak, the meaning was naturally self-evident.
To open the cupboard? Or not to open the cupboard?
If the door of the cabinet is opened at such a close distance, and if there is a vicious and cruel evil spirit inside, then... the consequences will be disastrous!
Gao Ying stared at the cabinet in front of him and couldn't help but start thinking, what should he do?
Jiao Chaoming glanced at him and suddenly said with a hint of joking, "Don't you dare?"
Just as Gao Ying was about to say something, Jiao Chaoming waved his hand.
"The first time I saw you, I knew... you are a completely different type of person from me. You have no clear understanding of the price of eternal life."
"These are two different things..."
"Actually, I don't want to live forever, but... for me, living is a very luxurious thing."
Survive?
Luxurious things?
Gao Ying watched Jiao Chaoming carefully. Could it be that he had some hidden disease that would cause him to die soon? But if so, he should be treated in the hospital, why would he come to take the college entrance examination?
Jiao Chaoming walked towards the cabinet in front of him step by step, without any hesitation in his steps!
At this time, Gao Ying's most sensible thing to do is to stay where he is and enjoy the results. As long as Jiao Chaoming opens the cabinet, he can immediately record the answer. If there is really any evil spirit or ghost inside, he can escape immediately. Anyway, the door is open
behind.
"Wait, no!"
Gao Ying suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to open the cabinet door like this, so he quickly walked forward with three steps at a time and grabbed Jiao Chaoming's wrist!
"What do you mean it's not okay?"
Jiao Chaoming turned around and asked, still with a calm expression on his face.
"If you want to live, why are you so reckless?"
For more than a month, Gao Ying has fully realized the despair of struggling to survive and dancing with the god of death. Many times, if he misses a move, he will go to the underworld like Xu Yudan and Hou Mingbo. Here, every step he takes
, you have to walk on thin ice and solve problems, it is unlikely to be so simple and crude.
"Yes, I... want to live."
Jiao Chaoming chewed the word as if babbling, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word.
"You said you've encountered something scarier than ghosts, right? No matter what it is, if you want to survive, you can't be reckless!"
In fact, it cannot be said that Gao Ying said this just for Jiao Chaoming's sake. After all, he didn't know what was inside the cabinet after it was opened. If an evil spirit was really released, this evil spirit would also kill them.
, even if he escapes from the door, how safe is he really? So he stopped Jiao Chaoming's recklessness for his own sake. Otherwise, if it was really just Jiao Chaoming's own life and death, then he would be responsible for it himself.
"If we don't open the cabinet and our eyes don't have X-rays, how can we know what's inside?"
Gao Ying looked at the cabinet, thought for a while, and said: "Continue to explore this room, I think we should be able to find some clues!"
Clues...yes! Clues!
On the surface, opening the cabinet is the safest way, but it is also the most dangerous. Frankly speaking, Gao Ying thinks it is not advisable. However, the exam will definitely give candidates a safe way to solve the problem (for example, before, they directly put
Han Xiaoyan's test paper was delivered directly to his face), so the clue is probably inside the house!
He wants to find the clue!
After hearing what Gao Ying said, Jiao Chaoming seemed to think it made sense, so he was convinced.
"Then... let's look for clues here."
Next to the cabinet is a door. After opening the door, there is an inner room, which is quite spacious. And inside, there is a bookshelf with several books placed on it.
Gao Ying walked up and took a closer look... These books turned out to be...
"The Great Biography of Feng Shui Theory", "The History of the Rise and Fall of Zhengdao", "Top 100 Demonic Spells of the Ming and Qing Dynasties", "Dividing Gold and Fixing Acupoints", "The True Explanation of Maoshan Nine Dao Techniques", the most exaggerated thing is that there is actually another
This version of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Most of these books were related to Feng Shui, exorcism, and Taoism, and Gao Ying roughly flipped through them... Although he had no research on Taoism, they were obviously nonsense. That book, Maoshan Taoism True Explanation, had something like "Heaven" written in the opening chapter.
The way of teaching is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess, so the imaginary overcomes the reality, and the deficiency overcomes the excess. Its meaning is profound, its reasoning is profound, and its interest is profound. The images of heaven and earth are divided into categories, the sequence of yin and yang, the expression of change, and the signs of death and life.
"... It seems to be true, but for Gao Ying, who has a photographic memory of reading, he can tell at a glance that this is the content of the "Nine Yin Manual" compiled by Jin Yong! What is the Five Elements Taoism mentioned later?
Five ghost transportation techniques, all kinds of messy content...
However, although the content of the book is absurd, no one can guarantee that there are no clues here. So, Gao Ying came to the window, looked at the moonlight, and read carefully. Of course, at this time, he asked Jiao Chaoming to look out.
After all, there is a cabinet that may contain a ghost outside. At this time, no one dares not to take their own lives seriously.
Gao Ying gently turned the pages of the book and carefully looked at the text on it. When he turned to a certain page, some comments and notes appeared on it.
(Could the curse that this village suffered be related to this? Is there really some kind of Taoism in this book, and the villagers attracted ghosts when they were practicing Taoism?)
Frankly speaking, Gao Ying was also confused, but he always felt that it was not that simple, so he continued to check.
The content of the annotation is "Things that damage the yin will inevitably damage the yang life" and "If you want to solve it, you must take the path of spiritual cultivation."
monasticism?
Gao Ying sneered in his heart, if he really succeeded in cultivating Taoism, how could the whole village be wiped out, and no one would survive due to this curse? But when it comes to superstition, he dare not say that, aren't ghosts also superstitious?
Let’s not discuss whether cultivating Taoism is true or not. Gao Ying is more concerned about “shady things”.
