Death knocked on the gate of hell

There are several tourist attractions in Fujian Province, and countless tourists come here every day.They got off at Xiamen North Railway Station. There were people coming and going at the station, tourists pushing suitcases everywhere.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu went into battle lightly, empty-handed, like locals coming to the station for a walk.

They were indeed natives here during their lifetime.

Although the station was crowded with people, the two of them had extraordinary looks and outstanding auras, which made them stand out from the crowd and stand out.A man quickly came forward to say hello: "Where are you two going? Take our car, 40 yuan each, and you can deliver it anywhere. Attractions include Gulangyu, Huandao Road, Zengcuoan, Nanputuo..."

Xie Bi'an asked, "How to get to Zhuye Village?"

The man was taken aback, scratched his head and said, "This shouldn't be a scenic spot? I have lived here for 30 years, and I have never heard of this name."

The answer is not surprising.Zhuye Village is a small village where they lived thousands of years ago. At that time, it was not well known. It was only named because of a bamboo forest near the village. The villagers called it verbally, and there were no historical records.Thousands of years later, it is impossible for modern people to know whether the small village existed or if it was renamed.Even if you open the navigation, you can't find it.

Xie Bi'an thanked him politely, and walked out of the station with Fan Wujiu, not intending to take a ride.The primary purpose of their coming here is to find their home back then.

As soon as they got out of the station, they saw that there were many high-rise buildings beside the road, and the vehicles on the street were constantly rushing, and they were completely modernized.The behemoth called the era devours everything in the past, and there is no trace of the old days.

Fan Wujiu sighed: "In the past, there were earth buildings everywhere, but now they are all reinforced concrete."

Tulou is a traditional dwelling in Fujian Province, and it is also known as the five characteristic dwellings in China, together with courtyard houses in Beijing, cave dwellings in Shanxi, Ganlan style in Guangxi, and a seal in Yunnan.China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the architectural styles of various places are distinctive.Fan Wujiu remembered that when he was a child, the village consisted of dozens of ring-shaped earthen buildings, each of which could house dozens of families and share a well.On sunny days, women pound clothes by the well, and after pounding, they hang clothes upstairs to dry, and children play in the courtyard, full of the smell of fireworks.On a rainy day, seeing the dense rain curtains on the eaves and listening to the sound of the rain, the artistic conception is not inferior to the ancient Jiangnan city with black bricks and black tiles.During the holidays, every household hangs red lanterns, and the buildings are brightly lit, making it extremely lively.He would also visit Xie Bi'an's house and get a piece of white sugar cake.

Now it's all passing smoke and clouds, nothing but memories.

A passer-by listened to his emotion and enthusiastically said: "You two are here for tourism? If you want to see the tulou, you can go to the Nanjing Tulou, which is still preserved. But that place is in Zhangzhou, which is quite far from here. I suggest you go first. Let’s go after visiting Xiamen.”

Xie Bi'an nodded his head to express his gratitude, and the enthusiastic passers-by waved their hands and left.

They also didn't have the idea of ​​going to see the tulou.From the looks of it now, this building is an ancient traditional dwelling, a world cultural heritage, and a famous tourist attraction, but for them, it doesn't have that much aura, which can be summed up in one word.

That's just their home.

This is a familiar hometown, but also a strange city.Walking on the streets of the bustling city, the two immortals realized that they could not find the former site of Zhuye Village, and it was useless to ask any guide for help.

Fortunately, gods do things, and they don't use ordinary people's methods.

They found a remote alley and directly summoned the land god here.

The little old man with a short stature and a gray beard leaned on a cane, crawled out from the ground, bowed his body and bowed: "I don't know that the two impermanent immortals are here, and I feel disrespectful and disrespectful. The little old man is really lucky in his life to be able to serve in this position." During the period, I saw the seventh master and the eighth master came to visit."

There are countless land lords and land wives all over the country.The god of the land is the god of the earth, and he changes every 500 years. He looks older on the outside, but in fact his qualifications are not as deep as black and white. He is naturally excited to see them now.

"It's not considered a distant visitor, it's just going home." Xie Bi'an said.

The land god stroked his beard and tremblingly said, "Seventh Lord and Eighth Lord are actually from this place? It's an honor, an honor."

"Tu Tu, do you still remember where Zhuye Village is?" Fan Wujiu went straight to the point.

"Bamboo Leaf Village? Let the little old man think about it, he's too old..." The land god wanted to say that he has a bad memory when he is old, but he thought that the two people in front of him are twice the age, so he stopped quickly, "Oh, remember Yes! Zhuye Village changed its name 300 years ago, I still remember the location is in the southwest, please come with me.”

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu looked at each other and followed.

The earth buildings of that year have long since ceased to exist, replaced by rows of flat-roofed houses.The bamboo grove where swordsmen practiced in the past is gone, tall pines and cypresses are planted on both sides of the road, and the old man in a vest is waving a cattail fan to enjoy the coolness under the tree.

Although what they saw in front of them was completely different from what they remembered, they still stopped in front of a quaint homestay with a little sense.

This was their home back then.

Seeing that they had found a place to stay, the land lord didn't bother them much, and retreated into the field after saluting.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu stepped into the B&B, and the electronic sound of "Welcome" sounded as soon as the door was pushed open.A huge electric fan in the room creaked and turned, blowing strong winds towards the front desk.

At the reception desk, the proprietress dozed off with her chin propped on her chin, and she woke up suddenly when she heard the electronic sound. When she saw the two handsome men walking towards her, she immediately lost her sleepiness and ran away.

Hey, hey, this is really handsome. Could it be some internet celebrity?

There are not a few Internet celebrities who come here to check in and take pictures. Without beauty and filters, it is really rare to be so handsome in reality.

The proprietress smiled warmly: "How many rooms do the two handsome guys want?"

Fan Wujiu: "A double room."

Xie Bi'an: "A room with a big bed."

Almost in unison.

Xie Bi'an cast a glance at Fan Wujiu inexplicably, with a chill in his eyes.

Fan Wujiu immediately had goosebumps on his back, and his desire to survive made him change his words: "I want a room with a big bed."

The proprietress looked at them strangely, and she probably had cp in her heart.

"100 yuan a night, please register with your ID card." The proprietress said.

100 yuan a night is simply too cheap now that prices are skyrocketing.

Naturally, they have ID cards. They live in the world. For convenience, they will handle all the documents that humans need.Fan Wujiu took his ID card to register, and passed face recognition by the way.

"Room 403." The proprietress handed them the room card.

On the room card was written the contact information of the owner of the homestay, a string of phone numbers, followed by Mr. Xu.

Xie Bi'an vaguely remembered that their neighbors in the Tulou back then were also surnamed Xu.

"Madam proprietress, how long has this homestay been open?" Xie Bi'an asked in a casual manner.

The proprietress is happy to answer questions for the handsome guy: "It's been more than ten years. My husband has opened the homestay. I became the proprietress after I got married. I used to live across the street. Our ancestors have lived here for generations, Fujian Province But it's a nice place."

Xie Bi'an smiled: "It is indeed an outstanding person."

Thousands of years later, the tulou was demolished, and the descendants of the neighbors passed it down from generation to generation. They still live here and open a homestay to entertain tourists from all over the world.

Times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed, but the surnames have been inherited, and the blood has never been cut off. The people on this land are endless.

There is no elevator in the B&B. They walked up to the fourth floor on wooden stairs. 403 is the innermost room at the end of the corridor, and 404 is the opposite door.

"Four" has the same pronunciation as "death", and it is not an auspicious number in China, especially the rooms at the end of hotels and B&Bs are always rumored to be haunted.

The door of 404 was closed, but Xie Bi'an knew through the door that no one lived there, but a ghost lived there.

The so-called outstanding people are actually a pun.

As soon as they stepped into this homestay, they knew that there was an earthbound spirit here.

It's in the opposite room.

Both Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu knew it well, but at the moment, neither of them cared about the wraith in room 404, and entered the room by swiping the door of room 403 with their room card.

They don't plan to either.

The duty of Black and White Impermanence is to seduce souls, bringing the dead souls who have gone to the underworld into the underworld, and now the scope is even narrowed to people with great merit.

As for the resentful spirits, they are mostly formed of resentment, and they are trapped in the place where they died before they were alive and cannot leave.This kind of resentful spirit has its own grievances and obsessions. It cannot be reincarnated when it stays in the yang world, and it will not enter the underworld.Only when the resentful spirit harms people, turns into a ghost, and disturbs the lives of mortals, will the ghost messengers come to enforce the law and arrest them.But the one in the opposite room didn't have bloody aura, that is, it didn't harm anyone, so it had nothing to do with them.

As for saving grievances and dispelling grievances, that is what monks, Taoists, and celestial masters in the world should do.Impermanence is just ecstasy, not responsible for being a psychological counselor.

Impermanence sees the impermanence of the world, but ignores the world.

Even if you come all the way, you can't just stay in a B&B.They decided to go out for a stroll at night, have a meal, and see the night view of the city.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu went downstairs, just in time to meet a plainly dressed young man entering the door.They glanced sideways for a moment, but the young man didn't pay attention to them and just passed by.

Xie Bi'an looked away: "Let's go, I want to eat sand tea noodles tonight."

They left the homestay, and the young man ran to the front desk: "Miss Boss, I want to open a room."

"Ah, I'm sorry." The proprietress apologized, "This shop is full."

Young people don't believe it: "Is 404 always empty?"

The proprietress asked vigilantly, "How do you know 404?"

It was such a sensation back then that it was published in the local newspaper.But from the young man's accent, he knew he was from another place. How could he know 404?

"I've seen the news reports," said the young man.

The proprietress sighed: "Since you have read the news, you know the reason why 404 is not rented. There is a hotel when you turn left when you go out, young man, you can live there."

This matter is not a secret in the local area.A few years ago, a female college student and her online boyfriend ran into a murderer and was killed in 404.Later, even if the murderer was caught and sentenced to death, no one dared to live in this room. Even for a long time, the business of this homestay was bleak and almost closed down.People are unlucky.

Later, the limelight passed, and the homestay opened as usual, but room 404 was no longer open to the public, so you have to be conscientious in doing business.

But for so long, that 404 has never been haunted.The proprietress doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world, if there are, then they should be ghosts and don't scare people.

The young man was upright: "I don't believe in evil."

"You, hey, all right." Seeing that he was stubborn, the proprietress stopped insisting.She has seen a lot of young people who want to take risks and find excitement these days, and that room is not really haunted anyway, so let him stay for one night.
