Chapter 106 Wedding and mourning (37) (1)
Before the official team set off, no one could have imagined that an event that was supposed to be a cross-level operation would end up like this.
The official in charge had a bandage on his forehead, which simply bandaged the bruise. He was probably unlucky, and happened to hit the metal frame in the leather backrest, which caused some symptoms of a mild concussion, dizziness, nausea, and hearing loss.
But he didn't have time to worry about this now, as there was more work waiting for him.
Because of the sudden braking of the convoy just now, many people had different degrees of scratches. Fortunately, Taoist Song Yi protected them in time, and no one was hurt by the skeletons that suddenly appeared and disappeared.
This greatly relieved the official responsible persons.
You have to know that ordinary injuries are not the same as those caused by ghosts. Now they are in the suburbs, and they don't have any relevant talismans or other healing items in the car. If someone really gets into trouble, it will be difficult to get support.
“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.” The official head smiled bitterly and shook his head. After the computer broke, he could only use his mobile phone to communicate with his subordinates and various teams for the time being, but he could no longer receive some large files.
And the case they were investigating decades ago could no longer be opened.
The official in charge sighed, "Why did this happen at this time? What if it happened a few minutes later? Now we can't see the detailed files of Jiang Yanran's abduction and trafficking incident."
Taoist Priest Song frowned and looked at the mountain valley outside the car window with a serious and inquiring look: "It's not your fault. No one could have expected such a problem to suddenly arise here."
It was very dark, and Taoist Song Yi could only roughly see the Feng Shui location of the valley, but the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
At first glance, this is a perfect location for Feng Shui, but if you connect it to the road entrance next to it, you will find that it is like a leaking bowl, with all the air inside being transported outwards. As a result, the situation that the land should be nourished by air is reversed, and the land now sends air.
In this way, all the corpses buried here will be stripped of their original vitality, and their flesh and blood will become nutrients for the earth.
I'm afraid that the skeletons that attacked them just now were the bodies that were originally buried here, but they were made to look like this because of feng shui issues.
"Because there has never been a single abnormal incident reported here, I neglected it and thought we were only going to solve the problems caused by the xenophobia and isolation of Jiazifen Village and the Yang clan over the years, and I didn't bring the corresponding personnel."
The official in charge quickly received feedback from his subordinates and received the news: "But I remember that Mr. Yan asked me in the evening if I knew who changed the name of Jiazifen Village and built the Soul-Calming Well for Jia Village. Maybe we can get some information from them."
The special incident handling department acted quickly and immediately found the master who helped the village solve the problem that year and got their reply.
It’s just that the master who changed the name of Wangzi Village to Chengjiazifen Village decades ago died unexpectedly half a year ago, and the person who answered the phone was his apprentice.
The disciple told everything he knew.
Several decades ago, his master received an invitation from an elder of the Yang clan to go to the then Wangzi Village, hoping to get rid of a female ghost who was seriously endangering the safety of the village.
According to the villagers, the ghost was a sinner in her lifetime, so they buried her body under the ancestral hall to suppress her. But they didn't expect that the ghost would stir up trouble and kill all the villagers who remembered her. In less than ten years, almost all the respected elders in the village had died in accidents.
The villagers said that it was because those respected people wanted to protect the village, so the female ghost killed them first.
During the past ten years, the villagers have tried to invite various masters to solve the problem, but all have failed. One master even died in Wangzi Village, which made many other masters dare not interfere in the affairs of Wangzi Village anymore.
So under the shroud of despair and fear, the villagers finally had to turn to this famous master for help, asking him to restore peace to the village.
After hearing what the villagers said, the master was furious and felt that the female ghost was really ungrateful. So, after fighting with the female ghost, he suppressed the defeated female ghost in the bones under the ancestral hall. In order to prevent the female ghost from causing trouble again, he personally changed the name of Wangzi Village to Jiazifen Village.
The villagers were still worried and asked the master to kill the female ghost completely.
Because they said that this female ghost could ruthlessly kill her own father when she was alive, and even her brother who was just born not long ago. Such a dangerous female ghost will one day kill other villagers without scruples.
The master agreed with it and wanted to kill the female ghost according to what the villagers said.
However, I didn't expect that when I actually put it into practice, the talismans would often fail, as if the ghosts and gods would not lend them any help, and as if the heaven and earth were rebuking me.
The master had no idea what was going on and thought that he could not succeed because the female ghost's power increased greatly after killing several people.
In desperation, the master had to build a ghost-killing well in the ghost girl's former home, to ensure that if the ghost girl broke free from the seal under the ancestral hall, she would be killed on the spot by the talisman on the ghost-killing well.
At first, everything was happy.
The villagers were very happy that their lives had returned to normal. The master became famous and his worth increased a lot. After hearing about this, many people rushed to ask the master to help them solve their problems.
The master himself was also very happy to be able to help the villagers and left the Xiangnan area contentedly.
Then, strange things gradually began to happen.
The master couldn't sleep well after that. Every time he closed his eyes at night, he could see a blood-red female figure standing in the corner of his bedroom, looking at him with resentment without saying a word. This woke the master up from his sleep countless times, and he could never fall asleep again.
The master guessed that it must be the female ghost from Jiazifen Village who was causing trouble, because when the female ghost died, she was wearing a red wedding dress.
Although he felt a little puzzled as to why the female ghost could get close to his residence filled with cinnabar talismans, the master quickly rearranged his residence. If the female ghost dared to enter his dream again, he would make sure that she would never come back.
However, it failed.
The female ghost entered the master's dreams every night and did nothing. She just stared at the master sleeping in the bed with her blood-red eyes, and then disappeared silently when he woke up.
Night after night, the master did this every night and almost had a mental breakdown.
It felt like someone approached you with a knife while you were sleeping, but just left a mark and went away. There was no actual killing, but it made you even more uneasy, not knowing when death and harm would come.
The master had no choice but to seek help from his successful colleagues, but after carefully inquiring about the master's situation, all of them shook their heads helplessly, saying that they could do nothing to help.
Among them, a lay Buddhist who traveled around all year round and whom the master met gave an answer.
"Because you are entangled with the female ghost, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth believes that the female ghost's coming to you is just a normal cycle of cause and effect. Because of this, no one can help you."
"However, that female ghost cannot hurt you. Once she hurts you, the cause and effect will be greater than the cause, she will bear the sin, and the heaven and earth will no longer tolerate her. So you see, she just followed you and didn't take any action. Just think of it as having a close friend, and listen to what she wants to say to you - in fact, maybe it would be better for you to ask the female ghost before taking action. No matter what you do now, it will only be a way to make up for the loss, and you don't know if it's too late."
"According to my apprentice, this is the karma between you and that female ghost. Others should not interfere."
That year, after the layman finished speaking to the master, he left like a wandering cloud and the master could never find any trace of him again.
In desperation, the master had to deal with it this way temporarily, but he still did not give up hope and was still trying to find a way to kill the female ghost.
However, the ghost girl's actions became more and more aggressive.
At first, the female ghost only appeared in the dream, and when the master woke up, the female ghost disappeared.
After a few years, the master was exhausted by being frightened all night long, but he found that the female ghost no longer disappeared. Instead, after he woke up and fell asleep again, she still stood in the corner of the room, quietly staring at him with her blood-red eyes.
Then, the female ghost was no longer limited to appearing at night. Whenever the master fell asleep, she would appear in his dreams, without saying a word, just watching.
The master remembered the advice the wandering Buddhist had given him, so he had no choice but to ask the female ghost what she wanted to say to him.
The female ghost said nothing.
The master was so nervous and exhausted day and night because of the ghost's actions.
Then, the female ghost began to invade the master's real life.
She was no longer satisfied with appearing in the Master's dreams.
Every mirror, every corner of the eye, every reflection, every picture that suddenly passes by the master's eyes... the female ghost appears in all the corners that the master least expects.
Even when the master was taking a bath, the mirror in the bathroom would reflect the cold and grim appearance of the female ghost. Whenever he lowered his head, closed his eyes, washed his face, and then looked up again, he would catch a glimpse of a corner of red in the mirror, disappearing behind him.
Walking on the street, the glass of the window would reflect a blood-red, but when the master looked again, everything disappeared. He just glanced to the side unintentionally, and he would feel vaguely that the female ghost was following him, but when he looked carefully, everything was normal...
Due to all these events, the master was almost driven crazy by his own fear and the anxiety of not knowing when the knife would fall.
Finally, half a year ago, the master finally got his wish and ended his decades-long torture.
——The female ghost suddenly appeared in front of the master in broad daylight. Her red wedding dress turned into blood all over the ground, submerging everything in it.
The female ghost who had followed the master for decades with resentment finally developed the intention to kill him.
According to the apprentice, his master was killed by the evil spirit half a year ago, and even the apprentices and the master's friends who wanted to help the master were almost killed in the battle. He fled the original city and location overnight and ran to the most prestigious temple in the country to hide, and only then did he save his life.
"Evil ghost?" Taoist Master Song frowned and asked, "Did you see the evil ghost with your own eyes?"
The apprentice gave a positive answer: "To be honest, because I am the master's direct disciple, I follow my master all year round. I have seen that female ghost before. She looks like the original bride, wearing a red wedding dress. As long as my master is relaxed, she will appear in places that are not easily noticed. I followed my master and saw the reflection of the female ghost in the glass several times. But..."
He hesitated for a moment and continued, "That female ghost has been with my master for decades and has never really hurt him. Until half a year ago, that female ghost went crazy and suddenly became much stronger. My master and all of us were no match for her. At that time, another fellow uncle said that the female ghost might have had an accident at the burial site and gained more Yin energy, or that the female ghost's Yin energy doubled for some reason, and the Yin energy completely devoured the female ghost's former human reason and memory, leaving only resentment and obsession, which is why things turned out like that."
"In the eyes of that female ghost, what my master did probably doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that she thinks my master deserves to die."
The disciple's voice was sad: "I was standing very close to my master at that time, so I heard what the female ghost said to my master before she killed him."
"She asked my master why he didn't help her but helped the murderer instead."
Taoist Song Yi frowned as he listened to the words on the other end of the phone, but he felt that some of the descriptions sounded familiar: "Isn't this the advice that the wandering lay Buddhist your master found back then gave to your master? Listen to what the female ghost wants to say."
"That wandering layman..." Taoist Song Yi paused. Although he felt that his guess was a bit far-fetched, he still asked: "Is his name Li Chengyun?"
The disciple shook his head and said honestly to Master Song Yi on the other end of the phone: "I don't know the name of that lay Buddhist, but I know his Buddhist name is Lay Buddhist Chengyun."
That's right.
The only person who gave a suggestion to the colleague who had been killed by the evil spirit was the old Taoist priest's younger brother, the most gifted disciple in the recorded history of Haiyun Temple, Mr. Chengyun.
After confirming the identity of the wandering Buddhist, Taoist Song Yi's questions were answered.
Uncle Li Chengyun has a very high talent. In the path of cultivation, talent is far more important than diligence, which represents the resonance with the great way of heaven and earth. If Uncle Li Chengyun said that it was the cause and effect between a person and a ghost, it means that the fellow must have done something first and owed the female ghost a cause, so the female ghost came to ask for this bad result.
And what that colleague did...
"In other words, your master helped change the name of Wangzi Village to Jiazifen Village, and also tried to suppress the female ghost. Helping the villagers deal with the female ghost was equivalent to helping the murderer."
Taoist Song Yi said with certainty, "I'm afraid the information your master got from the villagers of Wangzi Village was wrong. It's not that the female ghost is evil and disrupts the peaceful life of the village and endangers the lives of the villagers. It's that the villagers killed the girl, and she turned into a fierce ghost and came back for revenge."
"You just said that the female ghost was wearing a red wedding dress..."
Taoist Song Yi subconsciously turned his head and looked at the official person in charge next to him.
They had just looked through the case files that had been piled up in Jiazifen Village and the Yang clan for decades, and knew that both the village and the clan were probably not clean.
It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature.
If a village always treats women with contempt, how can we expect them to treat women well?
The murderer, the wedding dress, cause and effect, revenge...
When the key words are combined together, all the possibilities that the official person in charge can think of are bad situations.
His eyes widened slightly, and he looked back at Taoist Song Yi with an incredulous look: "Could it be that the girl was sent to a ghost marriage by the villagers back then?"
"What?" The disciple on the other end of the phone vaguely heard what the official person in charge said, and immediately denied it: "Impossible! My master said that the female ghost's burial place is under the ancestral hall. If it is a ghost marriage, she should be buried with the other party."
Taoist Master Song Yi asked many more questions in detail about what happened back then before he hung up the phone.
Although it was not confirmed what happened to the female ghost, the people in the car still felt heavy-hearted.
"Whether it's a ghost marriage or not, this female ghost cannot be underestimated." The official person in charge was a little anxious: "Since the female ghost's burial place is under the ancestral hall in Jiazifen Village, the sudden loss of contact between the program team and Mr. Yan and others could be related to this incident, right?"
"Besides, why did it have to be half a year ago?"
The official person in charge looked at the few lines he had written casually in his notebook. Whether it was Yang Yun no longer going out of the mountain and stopping the operation of the farm house, or the bodies found in Yueliang Mountain and the farm house, or Jiacun severing ties with Jiazifen Village in anger, these things all happened about half a year ago.
What exactly happened in Jiazifen Village half a year ago?
Look at how many strange things have happened near Jiazifen Village. First, the program crew encountered dangers and corpses one after another, and then they were attacked by bones. However, in such a dangerous place, the special department has not received a single report on the situation for decades.
"The Yang clan is closed and xenophobic, and there is no road leading out of Jiazifen Village, so it makes sense that we don't know what happened there. It's just that..."
Taoist Master Song frowned and said, "I hope Junior Brother Yan can turn danger into safety this time and successfully protect everyone in the program team in Jiazifen Village."
But at the same time, Taoist Song Yi also secretly admired Yan Shixun's keen observation skills.
In the afternoon, Yan Shixun had already sensed the impending crisis due to the abnormalities in Jiazifen Village. Although he had not yet figured out what it was, he had already contacted the official person in charge and Haiyun Temple, wanting to immediately send the program crew out of the village and leave their safety to Taoist Song Yi and others.
"The live broadcast signal was disconnected, no one read the messages I sent, and all means of communication were ineffective."
The official in charge said in a heavy tone: "I hope Mr. Yan can solve it smoothly, otherwise, we..."
The official person in charge was unable to continue speaking, but Taoist Song Yi already knew exactly what he wanted to say.
——The female ghost had killed people before, so she must be even more vicious in her burial place. In this dangerous situation, if Yan Shixun failed to solve it successfully, I'm afraid that after they enter Jiazifen Village, they will see a pile of corpses...
Even after learning about the female ghost, the official person in charge had begun to doubt whether the dead body that Yan Shixun and the program crew saw on Moon Mountain was a homicide or a ghost murder?
The official in charge’s phone vibrated.
It was a text message sent by the disciple of the deceased master.
[I just checked the notes left by my master and found something. I hope it can help you.
In order to build the Killing Ghost Well, my master looked up the birth date of the female ghost. Her name was Yang Duo, and she was sixteen years old when she died. After calculating the date, she died exactly six days ago.]
Six days?
Taoist Song Yi was shocked: "On the seventh day, the ghost returns to take revenge. That is when the power of the wronged ghost is the strongest. It is past 12 o'clock. Today is the seventh day of the death of the female ghost!"
…
Zhang Wubing hunched his shoulders, trembling all over, and felt like crying.
He didn't know why, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that the world around him had changed.
He clearly remembered that he slept in the room of the farm house and talked to Brother Yan before going to bed. Brother Yan told him not to go out of the room no matter what noise he heard, so he checked the doors and windows before going to bed and locked them all carefully. Only then did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief and lie down on the bed.
Because he climbed the mountain during the day, the amount of exercise exceeded Zhang Wubing's daily routine, so he was extremely tired and fell asleep quickly, thinking that he would have a good night's sleep.
However, the opposite happened.
Zhang Wubing had another nightmare.
This time, he knew very clearly that he was dreaming, because he was standing in a yard he had never seen before, and everything around him was dilapidated and very old.
Zhang Wubing looked around in confusion, not knowing why he was here.
But the conversation in the room attracted his attention.
"San'er, don't worry. The woman I found for you this time is an educated woman. You can tell she's different from us. Think about it, if you bought a wife who can read, wouldn't it be a face-saving thing for you to tell others about it?"
Zhang Wubing looked around the yard and found that no one was watching him. He tiptoed to the outside of the house, leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation inside with bated breath.
There seemed to be two men drinking and chatting in the room, and they talked about women and children every other sentence.
An older man smiled and advised, "The one in your family is a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. She hasn't given birth to a son in all these years. Why do you still keep her? Listen to your uncle. I'm an experienced person. You only have two daughters. Who will take care of you in your old age? Who will burn paper and worship you during the holidays? After you die, you won't leave any incense for them. Aren't you afraid that your dead father will scold you for being unfilial?"
"You have to trust me. This time the girl is from the city. She's a good girl and can give birth to a child. If you buy her, I guarantee you'll give birth to a son!"
The younger man hesitated: "But where can I get the money? You're asking for ten dollars, it's too expensive! No, no."
The older one quickly advised: "Don't worry, uncle has a way."
"Do you know that the chief wants to find a sacrifice to the land god recently? He is worried because there is no suitable candidate. But I remember that your eldest daughter is old enough to get married. Go and tell the chief, he will definitely agree."
The older ones encouraged him, "You helped the clan leader solve such a troublesome problem. Then when the time comes, you can ask the clan leader for money to buy a new wife and give birth to a son. He will definitely agree!"
The younger one was persuaded and said hesitantly, "But I don't know if the new daughter-in-law can give birth to a son. Uncle Yang Mian, the girl you sold to my cousin's family before cost them twelve dollars, and she only laid an egg! My cousin's family regretted it so much. Now they only have a boy named Yang Yun, who doesn't look very strong. I don't think the child will live to adulthood. If I had bought it..."
"Don't worry, San'er. I'm a very righteous man! When doing business, you have to be honest. If the eggs you buy don't lay, I'll return the money to you. What do you think?"
The younger one was immediately happy: "Uncle, you are so kind. What's the name of my new wife? After I finish talking to the clan leader about this, I will give you the money."
Zhang Wubing's heart skipped a beat, and he finally realized where the sense of disobedience he had just heard came from.
——This is not a normal conversation between acquaintances at all, they are discussing human trafficking!
What era is this? How dare you be so arrogant? If you don't report me, you are not a human being!
Zhang Wubing angrily took out his phone from his pocket and wanted to send a message to the authorities to report the incident. However, he looked at the bright red exclamation mark after sending the message, blinked in confusion, and then realized that his phone had lost signal at some point.
12 o'clock sharp.
Zhang Wubing pressed the screen of his mobile phone hard as if to vent his anger. Although he was angry, he could do nothing for the time being.
Just when he was thinking about finding Yan Shixun quickly and telling his brother Yan about this matter, and that his brother Yan would definitely find a way to solve it, the gate of the yard was gently pushed open, and two young and beautiful girls tiptoed in through the crack in the door.
Zhang Wubing quickly dodged and hid behind a large water tank nearby, fearing that he would be discovered, his heart pounding.
"Sister, are you going to propose marriage to Brother Yang Guang?"
The younger girl had rosy cheeks and looked very excited: "I heard from Brother Yang Han that Brother Yang Guang is now preparing money to build a house. He is so good to you! When you get married, you can live in Jia Village and don't have to continue living in Wangzi Village."
The girl, who looked like an adult, blushed immediately after hearing this. She pushed the girl lightly, a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Besides, isn't this pretty good?" The girl smiled, her innocent eyes full of anticipation and yearning for a new life. "Isn't Jia Village much better than ours? Look, they're not afraid of having a girl over there, they can still have meat to eat, go to school, and have new clothes to wear. How come you're not better off in Jia Village than we are?"
The older girl blushed and lowered her head: "That's true... But when are you going to tell Yang Han? Haven't you liked him for many years?"
The girl pouted her lips unhappily and stomped her feet in a playful and cute way: "He is just a blockhead! No matter what you say to him, he will just laugh and never respond. Humph, I am still young anyway, I will take my time after my sister and Brother Yang Guang get married. Anyway, there is still plenty of time, I don't believe that Brother Yang Han will not be tempted!"
The elder sister smiled and scratched the girl's nose affectionately: "You are still a girl, you are so shameless to say such things."
Yang Han? The second son of the village party secretary?
Zhang Wubing felt that his brain was confused due to overload. He clearly remembered that Yang Han was not married and had been single until now. Why did this girl sound so sure that Yang Han would marry her?
What's going on?
At this moment, the door that was originally closed was pushed open from the inside.
Zhang Wubing, who was hiding behind a water tank, saw a man who looked to be about fifty years old walk out from inside and look straight at the older of the two girls.
"Yang Hua Yang Duo is back?" The man looked at my sister happily, scanning her from head to toe. He didn't look like he was looking at a person, but rather a commodity: "You've grown so big? You can get married this year, right?"
The girl named Yang Hua took a step back uncomfortably, subconsciously stretched out her hand to shield her sister behind her, and called out "Uncle Yangmian" with a bad look on her face.
The man called Yang Mian responded and looked behind the door meaningfully: "It's good to grow up, so that you can share your father's worries. You are a good girl."
Yang Hua forced a smile to get the point across, then hurried away holding her sister's hand.
Yang Mian stood in the yard, looking at Yang Hua with a happy grin on his face, and was not angry at her attitude.
After a while, the door was pushed open again, and another middle-aged man came out happily: "Uncle Yangmian, you are right, a man still needs a son. Let's go! Let's go to the clan leader to talk about this. But what about my previous one? Uncle Yangmian, how about you help me sell it?"
"That's fine. We'll see how the clan leader arranges it then."
…
The two of them left the yard chatting and laughing. Zhang Wubing then slowly stood up from behind the water tank where he was hiding and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they didn't find out, but it was a pity that I didn't have a camera with me, otherwise I would have recorded the video and reported it as evidence.
Zhang Wubing patted his chest and felt that his heart was still beating wildly due to the tension just now.
He thought as he turned around nonchalantly.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of his eye.
A pair of exquisite red embroidered shoes appeared in his sight.
Zhang Wubing's whole body stiffened, and he slowly looked up along the embroidered shoes.
The hem of the wedding dress was blindingly red, and skeletal wrists were exposed from the sleeves. Highly decayed flesh was still entangled around the bones, with a bit of skin dangling in the air.
And Zhang Wubing finally saw clearly what appeared in front of him.
——It was a female corpse wearing a wedding dress.
The flesh that was exposed outside her wedding dress had rotted away to the point where its original appearance could no longer be seen, but what was even more horrifying was her face.
No ears, no mouth, no eyes.
The female corpse that appeared in front of Zhang Wubing had her ears cut off, and there were only empty black holes in her eye sockets. There was no mouth, and her pale teeth were exposed.
The female corpse stared at Zhang Wubing with her empty eye sockets, then slowly raised her hand, trying to grab Zhang Wubing's clothes with her rotten hands.
Zhang Wubing was so frightened that he only had time to shout "Fuck!" before turning around and running, trying desperately to distance himself from the female corpse.
What's going on! Didn't we agree that it was just a dream? Why are there ghosts appearing?
Zhang Wubing ran out of the yard like the wind, running along the road in panic. Even though his lungs were aching to the point of bursting, he did not dare to stop, and he did not even dare to look back to confirm whether the female corpse was following him.
He has experience in this matter! As long as he doesn't look back, the female corpse will not exist! He won't be afraid!
Zhang Wubing was frantically preparing himself mentally, but he didn't pay attention to what was in front of him. He ran into something in the dark vision where he couldn't see the road ahead.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but only felt his hand full of stickiness, as if he had put his hand into a ball of rotten flesh. It was cold and stiff, and carried a chilling aura.
Zhang Wubing was forced to stop and felt as if something blew a breath at him. The rotten smell came with the cold wind and hit his face and neck, giving him goose bumps.
Zhang Wubing resisted the urge to reach out and scratch the dense goose bumps on his arms. He subconsciously raised his head slowly, instinctively wanting to see clearly what was standing in front of him.
Then he saw that the female corpse in the wedding dress, which he thought he had left behind, appeared in front of him.
And his fingers happened to be placed on the palm of the female corpse, which had already rotted into a ball.
At this distance, so close that their faces were almost touching, Zhang Wubing could even see that the neck and shoulders of the female corpse that were exposed from the wedding dress had been rotten to the point of oozing corpse fluid, with blurry pieces of flesh hanging from the collar of the dress, and long, thin white maggots sticking out of the wounds, twisting and swaying constantly, as if trying to move towards him.
The female corpse's ears looked like they had been cut off after death. No blood was flowing out, only the rotten cross-section, through which the muscles and pale bones underneath could be clearly seen.
As for the fishy smelling wind he just felt, it was exhaled from the female corpse's mouth which had no lips.
Zhang Wubing could clearly feel the cold touch coming from the female corpse. He was almost stiff as a stone, and he wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know what to do.
He wanted to run backwards, distance himself from the female corpse, and then find where Brother Yan was, or find a way to wake him up. But the problem was that under extreme tension and fear, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Not to mention running away, even moving was a problem.
"Well, well, I have no grudge against you, why did you come to me?"
Zhang Wubing had a sad face and tried to reason with the female corpse in a trembling voice: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, can't you just go find the person who hurt you? I have done good deeds in my life, but I still don't know who you are."
"You, if you have any grievances, I know a very powerful person who can help you! Really, as long as you let me go and don't kill me, I can really help you."
Zhang Wubing choked and sniffed his nose, but he felt that after all he had said, the female corpse in front of him didn't seem to be affected at all.
It's over.
Zhang Wubing felt a chill in his heart, thinking that his plan might have failed.
This shouldn't be the case! He had seen Brother Yan talking to those ghosts, and they agreed with just a few casual words. Why didn't it work with him? What went wrong?
But it was too late for Zhang Wubing to think about it. Seeing that his plan had failed, the female corpse had slowly stretched out her arm and placed it on his shoulder. Zhang Wubing quickly raised his hand and threw the female corpse's arm aside, forcibly restrained his trembling, turned around and ran away.
“Brother Yan!! Where are you?!”
Zhang Wubing's screams echoed in the silent village, and no one could respond to him.
He opened his eyes wide in horror, feeling that everything in front of him was like a broken screen. It was covered with abstract mosaics. Blood-red shadows gradually covered the edge of his vision and finally occupied his entire field of vision.
Zhang Wubing's legs finally went weak and he fell to the ground with a plop.
Lost consciousness.
…
When Zhang Wubing opened his eyes again, his first reaction was to jump up, put his hands in front of him and look around warily.
But the female corpse had disappeared, and in its place was a quiet village under the night sky.
He walked forward a few steps in confusion, and as soon as he leaned forward, he saw the young man standing next to the wall behind the corner.
The man's face was very similar to the Yang Han in Zhang Wubing's impression, except that he looked more immature and energetic. There was not a trace of malice or gloom in his handsome appearance.
Yang Han seemed to be waiting for someone. He walked back and forth with his hands in his pockets. From time to time, he looked up at the village road next to him, seeming a little anxious.
