modern soul hunter
Chapter 26
"Hey, that's how it is." Shen Chenghai sighed: "I thought they were willing to come to this thrilling place with me because of their love for exploration programs, but I didn't expect that this was actually a trap to kill people."
"I didn't expect that either." Li Jingxing's face darkened: "I thought that the Feng Shui master had an accident due to the backlash of evil, but maybe the cause of his death was not that simple."
"It's enough for us to understand this secret. Don't ask for trouble." Xu Xu clapped his hands, obviously not wanting to ask for trouble to investigate further.
Huang Qianqian shook her head: "He will definitely not let it go."
"But now everything is just your speculation." Li Jingxing continued, "We can't be sure if someone really wants to kill you because of this matter."
"That's right, it's not been a day or two since you've been annoying in this circle." Tommy took the opportunity to sneer.
"I think Miss Huang, you'd better think about it carefully, and ask someone for verification if necessary. After all, life is at stake in this matter." Shen Chenghai wiped his sweat: "The bad guys must be brought to justice."
Assi also nodded dully.
"It's useless to talk about it now. It's important to do business. It's getting dark soon. We have to hurry up. It's not as easy as encountering wolves here." Xu Xu rubbed his hands and glanced at the stiff and blue ground. Corpse: "I'm afraid there are many unclean dead things trying to trouble us."
Li Jingxing stepped forward and said, "Just now, the water bowl asked for directions, and the incense ash pointed to the northeast. We could vaguely see a house similar to a temple. Let's go and have a look now."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say you wanted to save me?" Huang Qianqian grabbed Xu Xu who was about to follow.
"Don't worry, you will have to wait a few more days for this Gu to break out. I don't have any antidote on me. When you go back, you can find me at the Fengshui studio." Xu Xu took out a business card from his backpack and handed it to the other party. : "Of course, there is also a charge for medicine."
Huang Qianqian held it in her hand as if she had found a treasure, and nodded repeatedly.
A few people walked in the northeast direction. On the way, they heard Xu Xu talking about the metaphysics of building a house against Feng Shui. Everyone kept silent and didn't dare to say more.
The surrounding winds are blowing, and the house is in dilapidated condition, which always makes people panic, fearing that they will attract some moths if they make any noise.
After walking for about 10 minutes, everyone stepped into a huge one-story house that had been in disrepair for a long time, looming pitifully among the barren cypresses.
The twilight is drooping, the moss marks on the stone masonry, and the weeds outside the wall are like an ancient painting, which makes people feel dizzy.
"Is this a temple?" Tommy felt very vicissitudes when he saw the corner of the house where the cobwebs were hanging against the dark sun and crows.
"No, this is the ancestral hall." Li Jingxing had already entered the main hall in the middle, he turned around and pointed to the old and dark wooden fence.
Everyone looked behind him, and there was a dusty shrine next to the long-burning lampstand.
"In ancient feudal society, the concept of family was very strong. Often a village lived with one or several families with the same surname. They built family temples to worship their ancestors. Such family temples were called ancestral halls. During the movement of the times, the ancestral hall was smashed or turned into a public place, and many people living in the metropolis did not know or have seen the appearance of the ancestral hall." Li Jingxing explained.
"There is such a well-preserved ancestral hall here." Shen Chenghai stretched out his thumb: "Looking at your young age, you still know so much."
Li Jingxing said: "I listened to the old people at home."
"No!" While the two were talking, Xu Xu had already slipped around the hall, pointing to a dusty object on the altar table of the ancestral hall and said, "Isn't the name of the ancestor on the altar? Why is this?" Something looks so weird?"
When Li Jingxing heard it, his hands were quicker than his eyes, and he immediately stepped forward and patted the object in the center, the black corners slowly appeared, and when he wiped the dust away, everyone took a breath of air.
This is a monster that looks like a hydra.
"My God!" Tommy yelled, "Their ancestor was a monster!"
"All of this is true." Asi rushed forward to look at the wooden monster: "Do you still remember the legend of Jiafenggou that I told you before entering the mountain?"
"Of course I remember." Tommy nodded: "You said that the people in the gap are superstitious, and they enshrine a monster, shaped like a snake and scorpion, that eat carrion corpses. After the people in the gap die, they transport their bodies to the sacrificial hall for the monster Gnawing. You also said that this kind of monster first ate rot, and then the monster’s food intake increased, and a village can’t die many people throughout the year, so the monster started to eat the living, so that village was wiped out like this.”
"Also, you said that at night, this village will be resurrected." Huang Qianqian's lips trembled: "It will become a ghost village."
"Don't scare yourself. Think about it. People at that time had traditional feudal thinking, and they wouldn't use a monster as their ancestor. Maybe this sculpture was put on it on purpose later." Shen Chenghai disagreed: "We can't add anything to it." Speculation, messing with one's sense of proportion."
"However, this village itself is very strange, and it makes sense to provide a big snake." Tommy spit out, for fear of being infected with evil spirits: "There are so many shady trees planted, and the orientation of the house is against the feng shui, what else can we do?" come out?!"
"I don't think so. There are all kinds of trees in this mountain forest. It just so happens that the soil here is suitable for the growth of locust trees, mulberry trees, poplars, etc. Don't be surprised if the vegetation is lush. Besides, the orientation is not clear. Even the pattern of high-rise buildings in the city They don't necessarily all face north and south. The bungalows here are built against the mountains, so factors such as mountain terrain, terrain, and convenience of travel have to be considered, so it's impossible to do everything well." Shen Chenghai tried his best to argue.
"I feel like Mr. Shen is the spokesperson here." Xu Xu smiled meaningfully.
Shen Chenghai's face was a bit embarrassed, but he still held his breath and said in a deep voice: "Exploring the deep roots is the purpose of my program. Explore slowly, and many things that cannot be explained now will eventually have a scientific conclusion."
"This is also the purpose of your calling us together." Xu Xushun continued: "You want to use natural explanations to smash all the boasting myths, including letting us appear on camera, but you just want to prove that we are just a rabble, two liars."
Shen Chenghai's face turned even darker, but he didn't make a sound.
"Speaking of which, I have heard about the accident in the real estate before, and I would rather believe it than believe it." Huang Qianqian immediately stated her position, for fear of not explaining to her: "I absolutely believe in the two masters. "
After finishing speaking, she glanced around and found that Li Jingxing had disappeared at some point, so she asked, "Where's Master Li?"
Everyone looked around, some said they were still here just now, some said they hadn't noticed, probably everyone suddenly realized that without Li Jingxing, they couldn't get out.They all became anxious, causing Xu Xu's brain to ache.
These people started to move their mouths whenever they had something to do, and they didn't have the slightest intention of looking around, as expected, they were still scared.
Xu Xu smiled lightly.
This ancestral hall was not small, and there was a backyard inside. He didn't care about so much, and was about to walk to find it, when he heard Li Jingxing's voice calling them over from the inner courtyard.
Everyone swarmed into the side hall in the backyard like a tour group.
Huang Qianqian, who was the first to go in, froze on the spot as soon as her front foot was firmly established, and the people behind bumped into her back one by one.
"What are you doing, you're standing here..." Asi asked, his eyes moved forward, and he was shocked by what was in front of him and shut his mouth.
Appearing in the side hall, there are several mutilated coffins.
These coffins do not seem to be made of good wood. Although there is a roof to keep out the sun and rain, so that the coffins will not be exposed to the wind and sun, they are also weathered to the point where only some rotten wood is left. If you are brave enough, you can take a peek inside. You can find out one or two.
Tommy didn't dare to look around, he roughly counted, there were seven mouthfuls.
"It's impossible to put coffins in this ancestral hall. It's unreasonable." Shen Chenghai shook his head in puzzlement: "Even if the family dies, they have to be buried. It's impossible to put them outside. The ancestral hall is for sacrifices, not a cemetery."
"It's terrible. You can actually see coffins in this age." Huang Qianqian echoed: "I thought the countryside was also an urn."
"No, this is not a coffin, but a fire board." Li Jing walked to the side of the coffin, and looked around the seven coffins with sharp eyes.
"I know that some foreigners have a habit. People who died before the age of 60 were said to be short-lived in the old days, and they did not deserve to have a coffin. They can only build a coffin shape with ordinary wood and put people in it for burial." Asi added: " No wonder the coffins look dilapidated."
"This is not a seven-star mystery coffin, is it? If this continues, we will have to rob tombs to find out the truth." Tommy's eyes are full of horror.
Li Jingxing angrily reprimanded in a low voice: "Tomb robbery is extremely damaging to morality, so don't talk nonsense."
Tommy, who knew he was wrong, nodded hastily: "I have no other intentions, and I respect these elders of the dead, but I just think this village is really evil."
"The coffin doesn't leave the house." Xu Xu walked to Li Jingxing's side, touched his chin, thought for a moment before saying, "Boldly guess, is there a strange custom in this backward village, such as respecting ghosts. "
"Respect ghosts?"
"Respect ghosts?"
Several people asked in unison.
"En." Xu Xu nodded: "In old funerals, people called the corpse a dirty thing or an evil thing. When they encountered coffins, paper money, and shrouds, they had to stay away from them for fear of getting bad luck. People's residences and graves, It must be separated by boundaries. No one would set up a coffin in their own yard or village, and even bury it near their own house. It is also a very taboo practice. It is different here. house, it proves that they do not reject corpses, or that they have a kind of foolish worship of ghosts."
"It makes sense." Huang Qianqian immediately flattered: "A master is a master, why didn't I think of this?!"
"Sycophant, stupid." Tommy wrinkled his nose and rolled his eyes in disgust.
Huang Qianqian glared at each other: "You..."
"Open a coffin and you'll know." Li Jingxing interjected.
"I didn't expect that either." Li Jingxing's face darkened: "I thought that the Feng Shui master had an accident due to the backlash of evil, but maybe the cause of his death was not that simple."
"It's enough for us to understand this secret. Don't ask for trouble." Xu Xu clapped his hands, obviously not wanting to ask for trouble to investigate further.
