The so-called Three Treasures of the Underworld, alas, how should I put it, readers who have read my series of accounts on the underworld will naturally understand that there are five or six books in total, and strange stories develop around them. But for those who haven't been in touch.It is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, because the things involved are extremely wide. In short.It's not all over, but I've got a concept, which I might call my concept of the underworld. My concept of the underworld is: an external force, setting up a space, gathering the souls of many people.Their purpose in doing so is unknown, and it is also unclear how human souls live among them.

There is such a special space, I can be sure that I have been there, Bai Su has been there, Hong Ling and Cao Jinfu have also been there, that kind of external force, who knows how to use human beings to serve them, as the messenger of the underworld, Li Xuanxuan, There is no doubt that they are Earthlings, and it is not clear why they have a relationship with that kind of external force. I have also seen treasures from the underworld, the same is a wishing mirror, and the other two are a flat box and a ring in the box.The three things are all related to the brain activity of a person, and that ring can even take a person to the underworld within a hundredth of a second!

Among these three things, the box and the ring have one characteristic: they are extremely heavy.No matter on earth has such a weight.The ring was once owned by Hong Ling. I weighed it and it weighed 5.3 kilograms. According to its volume, its density is as high as 307.4, more than ten times that of platinum, the heaviest substance on earth. This left a deep impression on me, so when I saw that Di Ke took out a small package and could sink the newspaper, I was extremely sensitive and immediately thought of that series of things. (That sequence of events is narrated in five stories: "From Hell", "To Hell", "Misunderstanding", "Hidden Souls" and "Making a Wish".)

And I always thought that a series of things were completely independent, unrelated to my other experiences, and formed a system of its own, but it didn't seem to be the case! What Di Ke took out, I don't know yet, but if that thing is of the same kind as the object from the underworld, then isn't the external force that established the underworld also the same kind of Di Ke? And as early as my youth, I had contact with Di Ke's kind, so there are many things that can be connected! The world is so strange that there are many, many unexpected things that will happen suddenly, and some even catch people off guard.

At that time, based on the experience I had with Bai Su, I was a little out of sorts. Di Ke was slightly surprised when he saw it.At this time, I have calmed down, pointing to that thing and asking: What is this?It looks like it's heavy. Di Ke nodded: Your observation skills are really strong, take a look. I stretched out my hand to find it, and estimated that the size of the thing was similar to that of the box from the underworld, and the weight should be about the same, about 20 kilograms.But at the same time I stretched out my hand, I thought, I don’t need to let Di Ke know what I have experienced. Although he has a thinking instrument, the instrument should be quite large, and it may not be portable. I can still kill him. one time.So, when I picked up that thing, I almost lost my grip.

As soon as Bai Su saw this situation, she naturally knew what I was thinking, and she gave a knowing smile. My next sentence is from the bottom of my heart: Really heavy! I handed it to Bai Su, Bai Su weighed it, and handed it back to Di Ke, Di Ke took it in his hand, opened the leather case, and revealed the true face of the thing. Even so, we still have no way of knowing what it is What is it, I can only see that its surface has a luster like lacquerware, this alone is enough to make my heart scream several times! So far, the objects I have touched, or known to be from the underworld, have the same quality: the surface has the texture and luster of lacquerware.

The small flat box is like this. According to the centenarian Zu Tiankai, Li Xuanxuan, the messenger of the underworld and the great beauty, has a big box, which is lacquerware. Now, the thing in the leather case looks like a pen holder, not the straight-in type, but the horizontal type.There are several protrusions, slightly resembling a clenched fist, and are similar in size. Di Ke said: This device may help you communicate with them. I said in a deep voice: What do you mean? Di Ke said: You have worked hard all night, but there is no result. There are two possibilities: one is that they have received your signal, but they are unwilling to contact you.Another possibility is that they did not receive your signal for various reasons.

When he said this, he put his hand on the thing: this device can strengthen the energy generated by your brain activity, and improve the situation that was either too weak or they could not be received in a special environment. I took a breath, and at this time my thoughts were extremely chaotic, for a while.I don't know how to react. Di Ke looked anxious: I don't dare to ask you anything, I just ask you to work hard for another night, and it will never do you any harm. At this time, what I thought in my heart was, no matter what, I should leave this thing behind.But we still pretended to be angry: you have never believed me, and you used the instrument to capture my thoughts, so there is no need for me to do anything for you, take your instrument back!

Di Ke raised his hand: I promise with my personality that I will never peep into your thoughts again. I said coldly: Is your personality reliable? Of course, my words are not very respectful words in the language of people on earth, but under the circumstances at that time, there is nothing wrong with me saying this, because it was Di Ke who made the mistake first. But unexpectedly, this sentence caused Di Ke to react strongly. Suddenly, his face flushed, veins burst out on his forehead, his hands were even trembling, he picked up a glass of wine, drank it up, but choked Got to cough up.

Bai Su raised her voice: Peeping at other people's thoughts is an absolutely intolerable behavior for people on earth, and Wesley can't tolerate it even more, but we believe that you will not, and believe in your personality guarantee, he will work hard for another night. Di Ke was still coughing, he looked at me, I nodded vigorously. Only then did Di Ke let out a long breath: The hope of success is great, and I only ask Mr. Wei to tell me the real result. At this time, my aversion to him has weakened a lot. He kept begging, just like he begged me to tell him the real result just now. In fact, he can use the thought instrument to capture my thoughts.It can be seen that his personality guarantee is effective.

I didn't immediately agree to his request. I solemnly said: If they also have requests from me, then I will respect their requests first. Di Ke was stunned for a while, with a very aggrieved expression: why? I said: They don't need to contact me at all. If they contact me, but I betray them, then I can't do it! At this time, my thought was that the behavior of the twenty-ninth group of astronauts was considered by Di Ke and the others to be close to rebellion, which was very serious. They have not shown up for many years, and they must not want to be found by their own kind. I cannot contact me because of them. , which exposed their behavior. Di Ke's expression was extremely helpless, but he also knew that it would be difficult to change my decision, so he could only sigh: "Do as you want!" I put my hand on that thing, the temperature of that thing is similar to human body temperature, so there is no special feeling.I asked: besides expanding people's brain energy, does this thing have any other functions? Di Ke said: Yes, there are many, but I can't explain them to you one by one. There are many functions, and it cannot function alone. It needs to cooperate with other parts. This thing itself is only a part. I take a breath: a part of the thought apparatus? Di Ke nodded: Yes, the thinking instrument is composed of many parts. I didn't ask any more questions. Although my curiosity was never satisfied, I knew that even if I asked more questions, Di Ke might not be willing to say anything. I stood up: at this time tomorrow, please come and listen to the news. Di Ke looked at me for a while, then at Bai Su for a while, and said please five or six times, before leaving. As soon as he went out, I asked: Where is Hong Ling?I haven't seen anyone in the morning, so she needs to study this matter together! Bai Su and I are almost sure that the thing that Di Ke gave me is the same kind as the treasure of the underworld. Then, if we extend it, the conclusion we get is direct and simple. There is only one possibility: the external force that established the underworld is Di Ke’s kind. , that lost contact, the twenty-ninth group of astronauts! They are the ones who use the thinking instrument to concentrate the souls of human beings!The wishing mirror, the box, and the ring are all parts of the thinking instrument! The person Di Ke wants me to try to contact is the master of the underworld! Although Bai Su and I have been to the underworld, we have not gained much. After Hong Ling and Cao Jinfu went, they seem to have more understanding than us, but we have not discussed in detail between us. Now is the time to discuss up! At the same time, I also estimate that no one will take the initiative to contact us. If they are willing to contact me, they would have revealed their identity to me as early as the last time when the accidents in the underworld happened. Of course they won't forget that they came into contact with me because of the Ghost Bamboo (which is also a part of the Thinking Instrument). It can be seen that they deliberately concealed their identities at that time. Li Xuanxuan cannot be blamed for this, and Li Xuanxuan may not know their origins. Since they concealed their identities so secretly, how could they still be willing to contact me?I have to take the initiative to find a way to get in touch with them, so I need Hong Ling's help. What I mean, Bai Su naturally understands, she said: Hong Ling has been a little mysterious since morning, just now I saw her bouncing on the tree.She disappeared after a while, anyway, she will definitely come back, what's the hurry! I was so excited that my palms were sweating, so I rubbed my hands naturally: What a surprise, I think the group of astronauts Di Ke is looking for is the master of the underworld that we have been to, and Hong Ling has also been there!what you think? Bai Su said in a deep voice: Of course, this matter is very troublesome, if not done well, it is very dangerous. I raised my eyebrows: How can I see that? Bai Sudao: Di Ke went to heaven and earth to find them. They tried their best not to let Di Ke find them. There must be a very serious conflict. We know about it and are caught in the middle. They are so familiar with people's thoughts, souls, life and death. Set in an instant, you say, is our situation extremely dangerous? I didn't think of this, when Bai Su said it, I couldn't help but froze for a while, speechless. Both of them, one wants to search, the other wants to hide, and we are caught in the middle. If they are ordinary people, it's fine, but they both have the ability to capture souls, and they want to capture the souls of our whole family and turn them into one in the underworld. Highlights, couldn't be easier. If they don't want Xingzang to leak it, it's natural to use this method to deal with us! I looked at Bai Su, Bai Su's expression was dignified. She was always calm in situations, but now she was also very worried, which shows that the situation is indeed serious. She said: I have a way to deal with it, but I know you will definitely not follow it! I spread my hands: just listen. Bai Su said every word: I believe in Di Ke's guarantee of personality. She only said one word, and I already knew what her method was. To believe in Di Ke's personality guarantee is to believe that Di Ke will not use the thought device to capture our thoughts, that is to say, we can lie to him, saying that after hard work, there is no result, so that he will give up the idea of ​​looking for his missing companion on us. Bai Su also knew that the reason why I must be unwilling was not that I didn't want to lie, but that she knew that I would not give up pursuing this matter.Although he knew that the situation was dangerous, if he just gave up on such a mysterious and weird thing and didn't continue to explore it, what would he be called Wesley! Bai Su looked at me, waiting for my reaction, I took a sip of wine: Instead of believing in Di Ke's guarantee of personality, it is better to believe that they will not harm others. Bai Su raised her eyebrows, and she naturally understood what I meant. They didn't have any intention of harming the people of Earth.Otherwise, with the abilities they possessed, it would not be difficult for all the people on Earth to die overnight! (It suddenly occurred to me that in one night, all the eldest sons died, or the recorded miracles such as the death of all breaths, did they happen under the influence of similar abilities?) (Well worth a serious thought.) There is no huge disaster on the earth, and Di Ke is still contributing to the Leman Hospital. Although the behavior of the twenty-nine team members is extremely weird and the purpose is unknown, the space they have established seems to be more attractive to people than the human world. Li, at least, Cao Puzhao's family of more than a hundred people was reluctant to think about Shu, and gave up the opportunity to return to Yang. This all proves that they have no intention of harming others, that is to say, my dangerous situation may be just a hypothesis. After a while, Bai Su sighed: I don't think they will contact you. I responded: So I will take the initiative to find them. No matter what, I will pass my message through the device first. Bai Su smiled, knowing that I would do what I decided to do, and no matter how much she disagreed in advance, once she started, she would definitely do her best to support me in doing it. I put my hand on the instrument brought by Di Ke, and Bai Su turned around and walked towards me. At this moment, there seemed to be a slight vibration in the room, and then I heard Hong Ling's loud cry: Mom, Dad, Who do you see coming? Originally, it was not easy to guess based on this question alone.But with the shock in front and Hong Ling's joyful voice behind, there is no need to guess who came. Sure enough, Cao Jinfu's thunderous voice followed: Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei! Following the call, the stairs creaked, and Cao Jinfu also came upstairs. My joy is really not trivial, because Cao Jinfu is also a person who has been to the underworld. I was worried about how to find him, but he appeared automatically. It can be said that he came in time. And Hong Ling must have known that he would come, and deliberately kept it from us, so as to give us a surprise. The footsteps stopped, and the body of the boss Cao Jinfu blocked the door. He is very old-fashioned. Whenever he sees an elder, he wants to kowtow. Especially when I helped him solve his blood feud, he even regarded me as a benefactor.Although I tried to stop him again and again, he had to take it easy and stay for a while before he remembered that I don't like people kowtowing to me. He was grinning, and Hong Ling was beside him, pushing her head in: Unexpected! I hurriedly said: Come in quickly, you came just in time, there is a new development in the affairs of the underworld. Cao Jinfu didn't understand what happened for a while.But Hong Ling saw what was on the table at a glance, the thing that Di Ke had left behind.With a cry of surprise, she pushed Cao Jinfu in first, and then walked in with great strides. The two of them decided that they would not be able to squeeze in together. She came to the table all at once, put her hand on the thing, and asked: Has the messenger of the underworld come again?Is it Miss Xuanxuan this time? What Hong Ling said proves that Bai Su and I's deduction is absolutely correct: the master of the underworld is indeed Di Ke's kind. I said: Jin Fu, try it and see if you can communicate with the master of the underworld?If you can communicate with them like last time, then you tell them that I know their background, and ask them to contact me by all means. Jin Fu agreed loudly, and Hong Ling was very surprised when she heard my words, but she refused to accept: Why do you want Jin Fu to try, I will come! Cao Jinfu would never argue with anyone, let alone Hong Ling, he immediately retracted his outstretched hand. I want Cao Jinfu to try it first. The reason is simple. Last time, when many people were together, no one could handle a box and a ring from the underworld. Only Cao Jinfu could. Those who have traveled to the underworld can know the frequency of his brain energy, and it is easy to communicate with the master of the underworld. The abbreviation of this situation is predestined relationship. But since Hong Ling wants to rush to try first, I naturally have no objection. Seeing me nodding, Hong Ling stretched out her hand to press the thing, and exerted a little force. Suddenly, she let out a strange cry, and the hand that was holding the thing bounced away, and she also took a step back. A look of extreme pain appeared on his face.Although that expression was fleeting, and immediately turned into incomparable surprise, but in the eyes of his parents, he was also heartbroken.Bai Su and I hugged her at the same time, even a person like Bai Su, who is always extremely calm in situations, was so anxious that he couldn't speak for a while. Hong Ling didn't let out a big breath until she was embraced by us, and she lost her voice: Good guy! I just said: what's the matter? Hong Ling opened her hands first, to look at her palms, her hands are extremely thick, but at this moment, it can be seen that her palms are red.She shook her hand, exhaled again, and said, "Holy fellow, that thing is as hot as red-hot iron, it hurts so much!" I was very surprised, because I had pressed on that thing several times, only felt that it was similar to human body temperature, nothing special at all, why did Hong Ling change when she made a move? While I was wondering, I stretched out my hand, but Hong Ling grabbed me: Don't touch it!Dad, you can't stand the pain! I was stunned for a while, and looked at her. Her expression was so serious that I took a breath: If you can bear it, I can bear it too! Hong Ling still insisted: You can't help it, you will pass out.not good! People have a certain limit for enduring pain. If they exceed this limit, they will protect themselves with coma. Of course, that is not an interesting thing. Bai Su said quickly: Listen to her! I said: it doesn't make sense Bai Su interrupted me: wait a while and then explain the truth. Cao Jinfu said loudly: Let me try! Hong Ling didn't object, but said: Be careful, it's really painful! Cao Jinfu agreed, and stretched out a pair of big hands that looked like palm-leaf fans, and rubbed them together. When rubbing, there was a rustling sound, like two stone slabs rubbing against each other. I know that his martial arts attainments are extremely high, and he must have special kung fu that has been practiced for a long time, but after seeing Hong Ling's situation just now, I still worry about him. I saw that he first lowered the boss's body slightly to stabilize the horse's step, then stretched out his hand and pressed it against the thing. At that moment, the three onlookers all held their breath and waited for his attack. reaction. I saw Cao Jinfu showing an extremely surprised expression, looking at Hong Ling: I don't feel anything? Bai Su said in a deep voice: You try to communicate with the underworld, tell them that we know their origins, and ask them to contact us! Cao Jinfu replied loudly: "Okay!" His good words just came out of his mouth, he must have turned around immediately, and saw that his face was flushed suddenly, and his body was shaking, but his hand was still pressed on the thing, and within three seconds, there were bean-sized beads of sweat, It has already covered his entire face, it is obvious how much pain he has endured! He could have given up immediately, but it must be because he has not achieved the purpose of communication, so he is holding back! Me, Bai Su and Hong Ling shouted at the same time: Let go! Following our call, he still hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly raised his hand. With his profound skill and strong pain tolerance, after raising his hand, he couldn't help but support his right hand with his left hand, The whirlwind of the body also seems to be spinning, and I can't stop breathing. I asked urgently: Have you ever been injured? Cao Jinfu turned his palm over, there was no damage other than redness. Bai Su said: "It's just a pain, it won't hurt!" Cao Jinfu took another deep breath and said: My good fellow, this pain is really choking! When he said this, he was still sweating, and he pulled up his clothes to wipe them.Bai Su said in a deep voice: "I just feel pain, not hurt!" I immediately understood and pointed to that thing: it will release energy, affect the activities of the human brain, and make people feel severe pain! Bai Su nodded: Yes, human pain is controlled by pain-sensing nerves, as long as the pain-sensing nerves are stimulated, people can feel severe pain. I couldn't help being annoyed: Di Ke is too hateful, how could he make fun of this! Bai Su shakes his head: Don't do anything else. My heart moved, I stretched out my hand, and put it on the thing. This time, Hong Ling had no time to stop it, and let out a cry of surprise. But I didn't feel anything. Just like when Cao Jinfu just put his hand on it, he didn't feel anything. But when he thought about contacting the master of the underworld, the severe pain immediately occurred!
