After I came to Qinling Mountains, I felt that there were too many coincidences, almost one point after another, leading me to this place step by step. Several things were intertwined, which was really weird. Although I also felt strange, I still felt in my heart that there was no need for Lao Itch to lie to me. If he wanted to lead me to this place, he could just say that based on my friendship with him, I would not refuse him. , even if you take a step back, if you want to lead me to this place, a simple lie can achieve the effect, why bother to beat around the bush.

I never minded these things all the way here, but this time, the coincidence was too much. In the mine tunnel of the pit leader, a secret door was discovered after kicking. This kind of plot is too cliché even for writing a novel. My doubts also broke out at this time.

When Lao Itch heard me asking him this question, he was stunned for a moment and seemed to want to laugh, but he looked at my face and knew that I was not joking. Slowly, the expression on his face became serious. He frowned and slapped me away. My hand asked, "Old Wu, when did your suspicion become so severe?"

"Suspicious?" I sneered: "Let me ask you, when is it difficult for you to stop on such a long road? If you have to stop now, I will find a secret passage for you as soon as you stop. If you have never been here before, you will have long legs. I lost my eyes, will anyone believe me if I tell you?"

"What's the point? This thing is already here, and there is only one road. Anyone can kick it, so there is no doubt about it! His mother's thunder can hit people." Lao Itch was a little angry, "You I stepped on dog poop before, why didn’t you say that the dog did it premeditated?”

"Okay." I sneered, "Then get up and let's keep moving forward, regardless of the secret door. Once we get out, we can go back to Xi'an. Are you willing?"

Lao Itch stared at me confidently. As soon as I said this, he was suddenly startled, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, but then he recovered, paused and said, "Why should I listen to you? I'm going to shoot you." If you want to go through this door, go through it yourself."

I shook my head: "You are still pretending to be stupid now. We are not children. Do you really think you can get away with such nonsense?"

After I finished speaking, I grabbed his clothes and stared at him fiercely: "Old Itch, listen up. Although I, Wu Xie, am not a gentleman, I treat you as my brother and I have never fooled you. I've never done anything to feel sorry for you. I don't care why you lied to me. If you don't tell the truth now, our friendship of more than ten years will be over."

When I said this, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was a very strong resistance in my heart. No matter when I was in the Lu Palace or at the Undersea Tomb, every time I took a step forward, I found that I was actually being attacked every moment. People lie. Whether it was a plan or a conspiracy, I was the one who was excluded, but compared with those people, I was indeed too young. It’s understandable that I was deceived, but I didn’t expect that this time, with my best friend, I would still be the same person. Am I just a valuable person to others?

Lao Itch looked at me silently,

A sad look gradually appeared on his face, and finally, he sighed. "Why do you have to go to this point, Lao Wu, people... will change after all. Even I... some things are better not to know than to know. Although I lied to you, I really I treat you as a friend, my best friend..."

"Friend?" I looked at him: "You mean you lied to me because you regarded me as a friend. You lied to me because you looked up to me, right?"

I ridiculed him very openly, thinking that he would definitely fall out due to his temper. Who knew that he actually nodded his head very seriously and said, "Yes!"

"What the hell!" I almost blurted out, almost rushing to hit him, but he immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, don't be impulsive. I didn't mean that. I mean, if this thing succeeds, You also have great benefits, which are a hundred times or ten thousand times stronger than any benefits in the world!"

I held back my attack for the time being, snorted, and almost made a sound from between my teeth and asked him: "Okay, tell me, what are the benefits?"

Lao Itch shook his head, looking like he was hesitating to speak: "I...I can't tell you. If I tell you, you will never follow me again, because this matter is rather...weird, even if I say You won't believe it when you come out, I brought you here... just because of these concerns."

I hit him and stared at him fiercely: "How do you know I won't believe it? Now I even believe in zombies, what else can't I believe?"

"That's different, Zongzi, you have to believe it. This matter is different." Lao Itch stared back without showing any weakness, "First of all, you don't believe that there are evil people. Without this premise, nothing you say is useless."

I originally thought he would have some special reason for coming, but instead he came up with such a funny word. I couldn't help but scream: "You should understand what a Yin person is. A Yin person is someone who works for the Lord of Hell." , I believe in Yin people, so I have to believe in the Lord of Hell, and there are many things that I have to believe in. Do you want me to believe in bull heads and horse faces, black and white?"

"I don't know, but Yin people do exist. I firmly believe this." Lao Itch looked at me with bright eyes.

I sneered: "You are so sure, have you ever seen a sinister person?"

At this moment, I no longer want to argue with Lao Itch. Things like Yin people are really far away from reality. When I think about ghosts having their own social form, I feel like I am reading a Wesleyan novel, which I cannot accept at all.

I thought that by asking this question, he would have something to say and I could end this argument as soon as possible. However, Lao Itch nodded decisively and said, "Yes! I have seen Yin people!"

I was stunned, then thought of what he had said before, shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, if you are talking about your old cousin, then he is just a madman, and I will not believe what a madman says."

Lao Itch waved his hand and said, "No, it's not my old cousin. Actually... I told a big lie about this matter."

I snorted and thought to myself, who knows if what you are saying now is true.

He continued: "Back then, my old cousin didn't go into the mountains with me at all. He was actually my distant cousin and had never worked in this industry. He originally thought I was joking, but seeing that I was serious, he didn't follow me. I tried my best. I went in with a few other Liao border guys I met unexpectedly. There were twenty-two of us in total. The road was too dangerous. Many people died along the way. In the end, I had a bloody encounter. Almost everyone was buried under a rock fall. I was buried in a pile of rocks and soil, with a stone pressing my shoulder. I couldn't climb out. I watched everyone else being smashed into a pulp by the falling stone. It scared me so much that I almost peed my pants. At this moment, the ground where I was lying completely sank in. Below is the ancient tomb I was talking about."

When I heard this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind: "Then... what's going on with the copper rod you mentioned? Since your cousin didn't go, then... could it be..."

Lao Itch rubbed his face and nodded, "Yes, the old cousin I am talking about is actually myself. Now you know why I believe in yin people so much, because I am..."

I was stunned at first and didn't react for a full minute. Then I couldn't help but laugh: "You? A sinister person? So you can see ghosts?"

"No, I can't see it. It's a feeling. You don't understand it, but I can really feel... something."

I smiled and asked: "Didn't your old cousin write you a letter? What's going on? Is he also lying to me?"

"That thing is indeed not written by Lao Biao, but only the first few sentences were added by me, and I don't know the rest. I really didn't lie to you."

I shook my head and decided not to believe anything he said anymore, and said: "Let's not talk about these things for now. Why the hell did you bring me here? If you want to lie to me, you can make it up from the beginning." The story is here to trick me, so why go to all this trouble?”

Lao Itch suddenly fell silent for a moment and looked at the secret door on the ground: "I can't say this, you will know when you go down here..."

"So, what's under this secret door?" I asked him, "Have you been here before?"

"Yes." He touched his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "Now that you have found out, there are some things I can tell you. This is the place where I came out three years ago. At that time, the exit of the ancient tomb was blocked by stones, so I had no choice but to dig another hole. The bucket was dug out of the mountain, and I happened to drill into the mine. Below, there is a passage... to the ancient tomb. ... This road is relatively easier to walk than the one we encountered the landslide, so I chose this road."

I vaguely felt something again. It seemed that the "relative" he said was not very auspicious, which meant that there must be something fishy underneath. I'm afraid not something good is waiting.

His cigarette was still wet and couldn't be lit, so he had to take off the wet ones, then light the rest and take a long puff.

He blew out a few puffs of smoke rings and looked at me: "How's it going? I've basically put my cards on the table. I've reached this point. I dare say that when you get to that place, you will definitely thank me for taking you there. Damn it." Even if we are not best friends and are just temporary partners, I think there is no reason for you not to go. But if you don't want to go, I won't force you. Let's go back to Xi'an. I will come back again. The road down here cannot be walked alone. Come over, or I’ll come alone.”

I really hesitated. It’s not that I’m cowardly. I’m afraid that this guy’s words are just fucking nonsense again, so I’m not stupid enough. I sighed, and while I was thinking about it, a hoarse voice suddenly said : "No need to think about it, we have thought about it for you."

I was startled by the sudden sound. Just as I was about to turn around, something cold hit the back of my head.
