Chapter 57: Teasing


When he was a child, the Young Master's Mansion.Han Yu's specious "ritual of inviting the gods" has entered the **.From the beginning to the present, the mantra in Lord Han's mouth can be said to be more and more miscellaneous, he called Taishang Laojun from the beginning, and gradually turned into looking for the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, and then what Dragon King, Zhu Bajie, and even Huang Daxian tried to recite it.In this process, in addition to keeping his hands folded, he also deliberately rolled his eyes and shook his head, as if he could see ghosts and gods more easily by putting himself in this trance-like state of dancing gods.And just like that, after another hour and a half, the house ......

It's really changed.In the "trance", Han Yu saw in his spare eyes that the candle flame around him began to change color, gradually changing from bright yellow to light blue, and then to a faint blue.Not only did the color change, but the halo of the candle flame was also spreading, expanding more and more, until Han Yu's vision was filled with a blue glow.And at this time, he also felt: the diffused light, when it shrouded his body, did not have the warmth of fire, on the contrary......

It brings a chill."

It's done, isn't it?"

Han Yu silently recited a sentence in his heart, thinking that it should be almost, so he reluctantly opened his eyes wide, stopped chanting the mantra, and looked up.This look shocked him."

Huh?"

Han Yu looked at it intently, and found that he was no longer in the study at this time, but kneeling in a strange room.The room is octagonal in shape, with walls made of white stone, and wooden beams, floors, and ceilings.

There are no doors or windows in the room, but there is a staircase in the middle that can go up; The light source in this room comes from a few candlesticks on the wall, and the candlesticks are burning candles that glow blue."

Yes......

Anyone?

”After a short silence, Han Yu, who had regained a little calm, asked in a trembling voice that was not very high.As a result, his voice reverberated in this strange environment, and most of the sound climbed through the staircase in the middle of the room.Judging by this echo, the space where Han Yu is located seems to be an octagonal "tower", and you can go all the way to the top of the tower through the staircase in the middle."

Is there anyone?"

Han Yu then repeated the call several times.But each time he could only hear his own echo, and no one or anything else responded to him.Seeing this, Han Yu hesitated for a while, but finally he mustered up the courage and prepared to take the stairs up to explore.After making up his mind, Han Yu walked to the wall and tried to take a candle from the candlestick and hold it in his hand to light it, after all, he didn't know if there was also a light on the upper floor."

ShhhThe moment he pinched the candle, Han Yu grinned and instinctively retracted his hand.It turned out that it was the body of the candle, which was as cold as ice to the touch.Of course, for the current Han Yu, this level of "strange things" was not enough to amaze him for too long, and after a few seconds, he just rubbed his hands, and then shook off his sleeves, and picked up the candle with his hands again through the fabric of his sleeves.Even though your fingers still feel cold, you can tolerate it.… After picking up something that could be illuminated, Han Yu held the candle in front of him with his right hand, turned around and walked upstairs.It should be mentioned here that walking with a candle is a little different from walking with a lantern: because the candle is not protected by a lampshade, when a person walks with a candle, he must use two hands, that is, one hand holds the candle, and the other hand acts as a barrier to protect the candle flame, otherwise you walk a little faster, or you happen to encounter a gust of wind in a hurry, and the candle will be extinguished.But at the moment, the situation of this tower is more special - it has no doors and windows, and there is not even a trace of wind in the tower.Therefore, even if Han Yu only walked forward with a candle in one hand, it would be no problem.Lord Han also thought about it, and he could take advantage of this by letting his left and right hands take turns holding candles through their sleeves to prevent one hand from being frozen if they held it for too long.Yi-yi-yi- Soon, Han Yu stepped on the wooden staircase, which was probably rattling from slight decay, to the second floor of the octagonal tower.As soon as his head was above the floor of the second floor, he saw ......

There are more than one people on this level.But I saw that there were five or six figures on this floor, standing or kneeling, gathered in a corner away from the staircase, and in front of them, there were still a bunch of shadows in front of them.Although Han Yu was scared in his heart, he could only step forward to see what those people were doing.One step, one step......

Han Yu slowly approached with a candle, and when he got closer, he saw clearly, the five or six people, all dressed in linen and filial piety, seemed to be doing white things, but the pile of things in front of them was neither a coffin nor a legal platform, but a pile of bottles and cans.The bottle mouth is small, and the can mouth is large; He couldn't see what was in the bottle, but he could see what was in the jar......

It's rice.Although Han Yu didn't know much about it, as a layman, he could see that the appearance of those bottles and cans placed on the ground was not random and random, but was deliberately placed into some kind of "array".Just when Han Yu was hesitating to take the initiative to say hello to these people......

Suddenly, there was a soft thud at his feet.Han Yu looked down, only to find that he had accidentally kicked down a bottle on the ground, and what flowed out of the bottle was a liquid that was close to transparent, but unfortunately, because the light in the room was blue at this moment, it was difficult for him to judge whether the liquid itself had any color.In the next second, hearing the sound of the bottle falling, the five or six people wearing linen and filial piety were stunned almost at the same time, and then, one of them, the one closest to Han Yu, slowly turned his head.It was a woman, a very young, beautiful woman.Han Yu felt that she was familiar, but he couldn't remember who this woman was, where or when he had seen her."

Are you ......"

Han Yu spoke, wanting to ask the other party.But before he could say a word, the woman leaned over silently, picked up another bottle from the ground, and handed it to him.Han Yu didn't know what this meant, but he still took the bottle with his hand.The liquid in this bottle was still there, Han Yu put it under his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly felt a smell of oil rushing straight to his head."

The bottle is oil, and the jar is rice......

What do you mean?

”Han Yu was puzzled in his heart, and looked at the woman with an inquiring expression on his face.The woman suddenly began to cry and raised her hand to make a "drink" motion."

You want me to drink this oil?"

Now Han Yu is even more confused.Although the poor had little oil in those years, oil and water were indeed good things that only rich people like him could enjoy, but I had never heard of anyone drinking it directly?

I wanted to think so, but Han Yu's hand still unconsciously brought the small bottle of oil to his mouth again.At this moment, he sniffed the mouth of the bottle again.And this time, in addition to the unusually strong oil fragrance, he seemed to smell something else......

It was a foul smell, a stench of **, which was masked by the stronger aroma of oil, so that he didn't smell it at first glance."

AhhFinally, Han Yu thought of something, he quickly threw the bottle away and took a few steps back.The weeping woman looked at him, still expressionless, but at this moment, her white face seemed to gradually become terrifying in the blue light.Then, the other few people who wore linen and filial piety also turned their heads and looked at Han Yu in unison.They were all women, both young and beautiful.Han Yu felt that each of them was familiar, but he couldn't remember any of them's names, and he didn't know who they were.Their faces, the more you look at them, the more terrifying they become."

No......

Don't ......"

Han Yu didn't know what he was refusing, just repeated the word "no", retreated all the way to the stairs, and stumbled towards the third floor of the tower.Third floor.On the beams of this layer, many clothes are hung.Those garments are of fine fabrics and fine workmanship; One by one, they unfold and hang up, like people floating in the air with open arms.There was also a fire on one side of this floor, and Han Yu looked over there and found that there were two people burning clothes there.These two people didn't wear linen and filial piety, but simply didn't wear anything, they were naked, and they didn't even have a pair of pants......

It's a pity that both of them are men.And these two, covered in scars, their skin was full of bruises, burns, and fatal lacerations that looked like they had been stitched together, and they were simply not a piece of good meat.But even so, their actions did not seem to be affected: one was unhurriedly collecting his clothes, and the other was throwing them into a large brazier.The fire in the brazier was not small, but there was no smoke, and it did not emit heat, and the blue light shone only cold.At this time, Han Yu had been made a little scared, and he didn't dare to rashly contact these two people, but he didn't turn around and walk away directly, so he just stood stupidly in place, observing the two from a distance.Han Yu didn't look at it for long, and suddenly, the brazier turned his head and glanced back at him.That face is also déjà vu, and it is different from the situation on the second floor, this time it took Han Yu a few seconds to recognize the other party - it was Ma Er!"

You......

Aren't you already ......," Han Yu muttered.Just when he was about to say the word "death".… The other person, the one in charge of "collecting clothes", suddenly appeared next to Han Yu."

Teacher, the student has been waiting here for a long time......"

This one, since Ma Xuansheng, he said as he was about to put on a dress for Han Yu, "You put it on, this is a ...... specially reserved for you" Han Yu saw the other party's face, and the well-made shroud that Ma Xuansheng held in his hand, and almost went into cardiac arrest.But he held on......

After a breath, Han Yu pushed away Ma Xuansheng, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran up the stairs again.When he came to the fourth floor, he quickly looked back to see if there were any "people" catching up.But looking down from the fourth floor, even by candlelight, you can only see an abyss-like darkness."

Huh?"

At this time, Han Yu also discovered another situation - I don't know when, his right hand holding a candle through his sleeve could not be released.Because he had been so nervous that he had completely forgotten to change his hand, it was only now that he realized that his palms had been frozen and glued to the cloth on his sleeves and the body of the candles, and the whole palm had been frozen purple and black, and he was no longer conscious.But then again, frostbitten hands are nothing to Korean compared to what else happens here.Also say this fourth layer.This is the top floor of the tower, where the staircase ends, and there is no way up there.And this, in itself, is also an anomaly.According to the concept of ancient times, the number of days is odd, the number of places is even, the odd number is yang, the even number is yin, the sky is covered with earth, and the yin and yang are balanced......

These are the rules that must be followed in architecture, especially in certain buildings.Therefore, you can see that the number of floors in the "tower" is mostly odd, and the edges and corners on the floor plan are mostly even.This is the rule, and if the rule is broken, it is an abnormality.For example, at the moment, this tower has eight corners, which is fine, but the number of floors is also even......

That's not right; This is a bad pattern, breaking the yang number.The general dwellings do not pay attention to this, but the "tower" has a certain significance in Taoism and Buddhism, it stands to reason that it will not "take the yin number on the top", only down, what "eight hells", "ten halls of Hades", "eighteen layers of hell" often take the yin number.Of course, Han Yu didn't understand this matter very well, and he didn't have the spare energy to care about this at the moment.At this moment, Han Yu's attention was already on another person in this layer besides him.This person is wearing a gray robe, and his face is about forty, but he is thin, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, pointed mouth and narrow cheeks, and he does not have the temperament of a fairy wind and bones, on the contrary, it makes people feel a little obscene and evil."

Lord Han, you are here."

The voice of the gray-robed Taoist priest is also very consistent with his appearance, it is a very treacherous voice and tone when he listens."

I ......

Where is this?

Who are you?

”Han Yu asked."

Hmph."

The gray-robed Taoist snorted coldly, "Lord Han has exhausted all his resources in this life, but when he is cornered, he begs God to worship ghosts......

Worship it, why wait for the ghosts and gods to really come to you, and you are afraid and confused......

And to ask these nonsense things?

”… When Han Yu heard this, a ruthless energy that rose from the depths of fear suddenly rose, and his expression was also Ling: "Okay, then ask for advice......

How does this great immortal want to help me?

”"Help you?

Heh......"

The gray-robed Taoist priest smiled, "Who said I want to help you?"

”"What?"

Han Yu said, "Didn't you just admit that you are the ghost and god I 'invited'?

”"yes."

The gray-robed Taoist priest asked rhetorically, "But when I'm here, do I have to help you?"

I can't be......

Do you want to play tricks with you first, and then swallow the karmic karma and effect on your body and eat a full meal?

”"You ......"

Han Yu heard this, and felt that his blood was cold.However, this is the reality.Where in this world are there so many "equivalent exchanges", when pure malice strikes, you are a fish, and the evil party will negotiate terms with you?

Not to mention, Lord Han still recruited these "things" by himself."

That'......

Then Han doesn't need your help, you let me go back, I'......

Yes!

”When Han Yu said this, he wanted to run down the stairs again.But as soon as he took a step, he felt that he stepped into the air, and the sky was spinning.When he came back to his senses, he found that he had been hung upside down, and the whole building was upside down.And the gray-robed Taoist priest also gradually changed at this time, and in Han Yu's frightened gaze, he turned into a huge gray mouse, attached to the "ceiling"."

You've 'got' all the way here, what are you going to say?"

Although the black squirrel has turned into a demon, it can still speak, "Even if you can go, I won't let the delicious food in my mouth be destroyed......

Hehehe......".
