CHAPTER 201 - SUDDEN

We tiptoed up the stairs. However, the Peacock House was very spacious and quiet. Even if we were to lower our footsteps, we would still be able to hear the echo coming from the corridor.

By the time we reached the top floor, however, the people who had been at the window might have heard the sound and left. This was because there was more than one staircase in the Peacock House and it was headed down from another direction.

We walked around the top floor and didn't see anything wrong. The building was actually very new. The cement floor was very flat and was considered clean.

Do you smell anything? Sun Tang said: A burst of fragrance, like the fragrance of a woman's body.

I lifted my nose and sniffed. There was indeed a faint scent of perfume.

Indeed, someone is putting on a show. I replied, It should be a woman.

Do you find this fragrance a little familiar? Sun Tang muttered to himself, It smells like something from somewhere.

If the team leader doesn't spray perfume, then that female warrior Fan Qing is also impossible. Have you smelled it somewhere else? I asked.

You and the team leader will be in charge of investigating Meng Yao, while Lao He and I have gone to meet Meng Yao's mother. Sun Tang said.

Meng Yao's mother? You're in your sixties, and you're spraying fragrant water? I said, stunned.

No, I know who's playing tricks on me. Sun Tang said.

Eh? That's it? Puzzled, I asked, Who is it?

Sun Tang said: Let's go back first, we'll meet at the city police station tomorrow.

After he finished speaking, Sun Tang actually walked downstairs in a hurry.

Eh? You're not going to stay at my place today? I shouted in surprise and followed her down the stairs.

I'm not going anymore! Sun Tang said: I have something to investigate.

It's rare. I said, surprised. Generally speaking, as long as I go out with Sun Tang, he likes to stay at my house. I'm a little surprised that I won't be going today.

Hey, aren't you from the Tianjin police station? Since when did you go to Tangshan? I suddenly thought about the story that Sun Tang had just told me and asked.

I just graduated and worked for Hebei, then my big brother transferred me over. Sun Tang said: I won't waste any more words with you right now, I'll leave after I send you home.

When we reached the city, we parted ways, and for some reason I went home first.

I was curious as to what Sun Tang had found, but there was nothing I could do if he didn't say anything.

For some reason, however, this time I did not sleep soundly, as if I were in a dream.

I dreamt vaguely that I was in an open space, surrounded by darkness.

There was a little light ahead, so I immediately ran over. I suddenly turned on a stone bridge and passed by a few wooden villas. These houses had very strange shapes, and they didn't look like they were where people lived. No windows, no doors.

I turned and turned, making quite a few turns at this place before I actually walked onto a platform.

Light suddenly lit up around him.

Several white floating lights floated in the air, and I was surprised to find that the platform around which I stood was filled with torture equipment shelves.

The man facing me was tied to a stake and a knife was coming at him. His feet were cut in the middle, his shoes were red, and the whole scene was spattered with blood.

The man's head was bowed, and I couldn't see his face. But he didn't even seem to feel any pain as he calmly said, My foot is gone, my foot is gone …

I instantly felt a burst of panic and shouted, Who are you?!

But the man without a foot slowly raised his head, and when I saw what he looked like, I was shocked. It was me!

I was scared out of my wits and ran.

At this moment, the barren sand road below his feet turned into a gloomy path. The grass and shrubs on both sides of the road were extremely lush and flourishing. As I ran, I felt the wind.

There was no sound but the rustle of leaves in the wind, and suddenly there was a big hole in front of me, and I almost ran inside and braked.

I looked down at the crater at my feet and felt my hands and feet go cold. I saw that the crater was filled with corpses. There were so many of them that it looked like a mass grave.

At that moment, I saw the corpse at the top turn its head and grin at me a hundred and eighty degrees.

And that face was actually me!

I woke up with a start and felt cold sweat running down my back.

I composed myself and looked out the window. It was still dawn, just past five in the morning.

Why did he have such a nightmare? I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly remembered what Lao He had said about Duke Zhou's explanation of the dream. It was not a good dream, but it seemed like he knew how to say that I was in danger.

However, after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't think of any danger that I could be in now.

I wanted to go back to sleep, but I was too flustered to sleep, so I decided to take a shower and get ready for work.

When I reached the city police station, Zhao Youzhen told me that Meng Yao's case had actually been investigated thoroughly. Meng Yao's mother felt that Chen Haoming's character was not good, and she had let her wife give birth to so many children. Meng Yao did not really like children, but only wanted her wife to die in the hospital, so he could marry another woman.

That Li Fei was related to Chen Haoming, but it was said that she was not the only one flirting with him, there were also quite a few Bei Tai's, Chen Haoming was rather busy with them.

Meng Yao's mother tried to persuade her daughter to leave Chen Haoming's side but to no avail. She then came up with a trick to scare the couple. Chen Haoming was a Hong Kong citizen, he believed these words. After the ghost lady incident occurred, his mother-in-law told him to find a half-immortal to calculate. In the end, the Half Immortal who was in the mood with her told Chen Haoming directly, that it was because your wife was your nemesis and that her family wasn't peaceful, that such things could happen, and that was why she needed to get a divorce to solve it.

Chen Haoming also had the same intention, he was secretly making preparations.

I was speechless. Did your mother-in-law really think your son-in-law wanted to kill your daughter?

That's one of the reasons. The other reason — I think it's the property. Sun Tang replied: Chen Haoming hasn't earned as much in these past few years as he did before, but he has spent a lot of money and sometimes even used his wife's money. So, you know. When I smelled the perfume, I immediately thought of Meng Yao's sister. She lived with Meng Yao's mother and was a theater actor. Therefore, we don't lack any props or anything like that in our family."

Never heard of it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this time, Sun Tang stared at me and said: You look really bad, didn't you sleep well last night?

Yeah, I don't know why, but I keep feeling nervous. I replied, I still feel that way.

Sun Tang laughed: Without me, you won't be lonely and empty.

I, Cui Dao, Scram!

Just then, Guo Yun pushed open the door and walked in. I looked back at him and felt that Guo Yun's expression was also extremely ugly.

You didn't sleep well either? I asked.

Guo Yun shook his head: Tang Yu, follow me.

Me? I asked, What?

Let's talk downstairs. Guo Yun said mysteriously.

I was puzzled in my heart, but still followed him downstairs. As I watched Guo Yun walk across the courtyard and directly leave the city police station, I stopped at the entrance: Guo Yun, what do you have to say?

Guo Yun paused for a moment before he turned around to look at me. Tang Yu, I'm sorry.

As he spoke, he actually grabbed me and pressed the pistol to my chest. Come with me, now.

Me? Surprised, I studied his expression to see if he was serious or just joking. However, the gun in his hand was a real one.

Let's go! With that, Guo Yun immediately dragged me and walked out.

Just then, Sun Tang ran out and shouted: Guo Yun, where are you bringing him to?!

Guo Yun did not say anything and continued to drag me away. Sun Tang immediately ran over. Without hesitation, Guo Yun shot a shot at him.

A loud and clear gunshot rang out, Sun Tang's leg was immediately shot, and he half knelt on the ground.

CHAPTER 202 - DESPERATE HEAVEN AND EARTH

The sudden occurrence of this situation also stunned me. F * ck, where the hell is Guo Yun playing at?

Sun Tang! I immediately wanted to run back and see how he was doing, but Guo Yun pointed the gun at my back and said, Tang Yu, if you don't come with me now, I'll kill you both!

Guo Yun! But at this time, Guo Yun dragged me and ran towards a small alley.

At this time, the people from the city's police department heard the commotion and also became noisy. But before anyone could react, I was dragged by Guo Yun to a sudden carriage.

Then, the car sped away.

I was thrown onto the back seat by Guo Yun and was stunned for a while.

When she came back, the car was already quite a distance away. Although being a police officer should be extremely alert. But who the hell would have thought that his colleagues would attack him?

The driver wore a mask, but it was obvious that he was bald. There was one in the passenger seat, too, a guy with a mask, but he had a murder weapon in his hand, a dagger, and he was probably watching me in the rearview mirror.

Guo Yun pointed his gun at me and sat with me.

We were in a dark van. I can't see where they're going.

Guo Yun, what is wrong with you?! I said angrily.

I'm sorry, I have to take you with me. Guo Yun frowned: I did not expect it to be like this, however, I have no choice.

Where are you filming? I looked at Guo Yun in shock, thinking that what he had said was just a line.

Guo Yun no longer spoke, and only pointed his gun at me. I tried to find out what was going on with him, but Guo Yun didn't say a word. I had to give up and figure out what was going on.

Guo Yun was not like a spy, because his movements were too sudden. I also don't understand what Guo Yun really meant.

I guessed that this car would soon be out of Tianjin's borders. Judging from this direction, it should be heading towards Hebei.

What was going on? I looked at the car door and tried it, only to realize that it was locked tight, there was no way for it to escape. I felt a little disheartened, so I waited patiently to see what Guo Yun wanted to do.

After an unknown period of time, the car slowly stopped.

After stopping, Guo Yun asked coldly: Where's my son? I've brought them, give the child back to me!

F * ck, so this bro's swapping with me? I was a little surprised in my heart. If his son was kidnapped, why didn't he directly tell our Task team and capture others to exchange like ignorant commoners?

However, when I thought about it, my back immediately broke out in cold sweat.

If even a veteran criminal investigator like Guo Yun could not guard against such a person, then the derived power would definitely be great. It's very possible that the X Group sensed something and threatened Guo Yun to kidnap me?

I was speechless, thinking that all they wanted to know was the equations in the time capsule that I couldn't understand. However, I have already given it to Sun Tang and the rest to deal with.

What should he do? A few thoughts went through my mind, and at this moment, I was handcuffed by Guo Yun and dragged out of the car.

Without thinking, I was taken to the side of the road. I looked around and saw that it was actually a deserted area. I didn't know where it was.

Guo Yun said coldly: I have brought the person. Where's my son?!"

The masked man said, Your son is already on his way here. When our truck arrives, he'll be there too!

I heard their words, it was most likely because the other party kidnapped Guo Yun's son, and used him as a hostage to capture me.

But now I'm here, waiting to exchange hostages.

I was still trying to figure out if I could escape, when a truck came from afar and stopped right in front of me and Guo Yun.

The carriage opened, and the two of them pulled down a child whose mouth was covered by tape. I glanced at the boy, five or six years old. He was a little boy, unhurt, but probably scared and crying.

It was just that he couldn't shout because his mouth was blocked.

Son! Guo Yun immediately rushed forward. The four of them didn't make things difficult for him. They just threw the child at him and dragged me into the truck.

Guo Yun pulled me back, and shouted at the few people present: Where exactly are you bringing him?! You all promised not to kill him!

You don't need to worry about that. After saying that, the four of them dragged me away.

I was inexplicably stuffed into the van and locked in the back.

So I fell into total darkness.

The car continued to drive, and I couldn't tell the direction. However, after a while, he was able to clearly see the scene inside the carriage.

There was nothing in the carriage, it was just empty space. It was impossible to find anything useful to pry open the door.

When I was pulled by Guo Yun just now, I felt that something was stuffed into my hands, but it was just that I did not have the chance to look at it because of my haste. This time, he didn't only feel around with his hands, he also felt as if something was stuffed into his pockets. I reached out and found the key to the handcuffs.

So I quickly undid the handcuffs and slipped them into the back pocket of my pants. Then I felt in the front pocket and was surprised to find that it was a gun.

Startled, I quickly pulled out the gun and looked at it. This gun looked familiar — It was actually Lao He's gun!

Lao He's gun was stolen by him?

I thought about it for a moment, then understood. Guo Yun probably didn't really want to send me to my doom, so he gave me Lao He's spear.

I figured these people might be from Organization X. They probably knew I had that strange recipe, or had already suspected my identity. As for how the news leaked out, it was likely due to that Ju Ye.

I settled down in the darkness and waited.

At this moment, the car stopped. I leaned against the door and waited for someone to open it.

Not long after, the door opened and two figures flashed in.

I took the opportunity to fire two shots at them, knocking them both to the ground.

The remaining two people also rushed over. However, although these four men were quite skilled, he still managed to catch them off guard and beat them to death with his spear.

Speak, what are you all doing?! I pointed my gun at one of them.

Actually, I felt a little guilty when I asked that question, because I knew that bullets were just that special.

The man remained silent with a cold expression. I tore off his mask and found, of course, that I didn't recognize him. He was a man in his thirties, a stranger. His appearance was also very ordinary, almost without any special characteristics.

I thought about it and took out my cell phone to take a picture of him. I thought I'd check on you when I got back.

When I finished taking his picture and looked around, I saw that I was in an unknown valley. From afar, there seemed to be another temple.

It was now evening, and no one knew where it was.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a muffled pu sound. Immediately after, I felt a pain on my shoulder. I raised my hand to touch it and actually touched the blood on my hand!

CHAPTER 203 - MYSTERIOUS FRIEND

I turned around and saw a masked man, who hadn't fainted yet, shooting at me. I didn't realize that he was faking unconsciousness.

When I saw that guy was about to shoot again, I quickly ran forward. At this moment, three people actually caught up to me.

I looked ahead and saw a mountain road. And I was hurt, and they were hurt, but they were probably modified agents. In terms of physical strength, I could barely beat them.

How about — I glanced ahead and saw a river that wasn't too narrow, and jumped in without hesitation.

However, I didn't expect that the river would be so swift. In addition, those few people had chased after me and fired a few shots at the surface of the water. I didn't dare to show my face, so I could only painfully swim forward for a long time.

While swimming forward in pain, I cursed in my heart: What bad luck! I told myself that my dream was definitely a bad omen, but I didn't expect that it would end up in the hands of my own people!

After swimming for a while, I heard nothing from the outside anymore, so I came out of the water and let out a long breath.

After wiping the water off my face, I took a closer look and saw that I had actually followed the river to a valley. The ground was filled with flowers and plants.

Ahead was a cave. Where is this? I looked around, a little depressed.

It was clear that there weren't many people around, plus it was already dark. Even if I die here, no one will know.

I grabbed at the rocks with my good left arm.

It was slippery, but I was able to climb slowly.

However, just as my upper body was about to burst out of the water and my foot was about to touch the stone, a weird cry suddenly sounded out. It sounded like a person screaming in pain. Then I thought I heard a lot of people shouting at the bottom of the river.

Startled, I scrambled up onto my hands and knees.

However, just as I reached the shore, I suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.

When I woke up again, I was lying on a mat.

The dim light was on overhead, like a ghost flame.

The smell of alcohol hit me. I turned my head and saw someone with his back to me, gathering up something.

Who are you? I asked, sitting up. My arm hurt, and when I looked down, I saw that it had actually been bandaged quite nicely.

You're hurt. the man said, turning his face away.

I looked at the man. He was tall and thin, and his face was dark, but he looked healthy in the sun.

His eyes were big and bright, and his hair was long. He wasn't very handsome, but he still possessed a literary aura.

You are? I asked, glancing at the water basin next to me. There was a bullet in it.

The house I was in was a dilapidated one, like the old shrine.

I am a free photographer, the man said. I can also be said to be a reporter from a travel magazine. My name is Ye Xiuwen.

Hello. I looked at him suspiciously and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. You saved me?

Yes, by the water. I was fishing on the shore. Ye Xiuwen said as he pointed to the fish on the bonfire.

A fragrant smell hit me and I immediately felt a little hungry.

You actually dared to save me, I have gunshot wounds on my body. I said, looking at him.

Ye Xiuwen laughed: Right, you still have a spear on you.

Aren't you afraid that I'm some sort of vicious murderer or something? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen laughed and said: I have travelled to the north for so many years, and have seen many people, so I can identify them. Your gun is a police pistol with a number on it. You must be a plainclothes man. I still have handcuffs and keys, not for ordinary criminals.

I touched what I was wearing, and Ye Xiuwen saw it. He pointed to the broken Eight Immortals Table beside me: It's placed on top.

I turned around and saw that my cell phone, handcuffs, and handgun were all there.

I heaved a sigh of relief and changed my clothes. Is this your clothes?

Ye Xiuwen said: Yes, I have a set of clothes with me, you can wear it first. There was no place to live in this village. It was too primitive. I also did not expect that the people here would not let us stay here for the night.

You don't allow me to stay here? I asked curiously, Where is this?

This is the Nuwa Village near Handan. Ye Xiuwen said: It's a very hidden village, so the scenery here is very natural and beautiful.

An extremely beautiful place, but no lodging. I laughed and cried.

There's nothing we can do. Something happened here recently, so the villagers are more against outsiders. Ye Xiuwen said.

After chatting for a while, we understood that Ye Xiuwen had been doing this for five or six years. He had traveled all over the world, specially looking for places with beautiful scenery.

Due to traveling alone, Ye Xiuwen has many survival skills in the wild, such as taking out bullets to bandage me up.

As we were talking, I felt a sudden gust of cold air and shivered.

I looked outside and saw that it was already raining and snowing. It was almost April.

The weather isn't right. I stood up and couldn't help but sit beside Ye Xiuwen. I roasted the meat and stared at the big fish.

There were more than a dozen of them, and the smell made me salivate.

The aroma of the fish also attracted the attention of the nearby cats and dogs. While we were eating, I saw a big black dog and a leopard cat at the door.

The two of them sat down next to us obediently, staring at us with their big tearful eyes.

Thus, I threw the fish head and bones to them to eat. The cat and dog ate happily.

After I ate my fill, my spirit recovered a bit, but I still felt a little cold all over.

Remembering the phone, I immediately wanted to use it. However, I found that it was completely useless after soaking it in water.

I frowned, thinking how I should contact Sun Tang and the rest now.

Do you have a phone for me to use? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen shook his head: It's useless even if we do, this place has no signal at all. If you want to make a phone call, you should wait for your injury to recover, then go out of this valley."

I was depressed. Eh, I wonder how Sun Tang and Guo Yun is doing.

Ye Xiuwen asked me how I came to this place. I told him, evasively, something half-truths about chasing criminals and getting hijacked. Ye Xiuwen did not pursue the truth, he only kept on praising me for being brave at such a young age, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

Oh right, before I fainted, I heard some screams — was it my imagination? I asked.

No, there are definitely strange noises coming from this village. To be honest, I've been here for three days already, and I feel that they are all very secretive. Ye Xiuwen said: I was planning to leave the day after tomorrow. The scenery over here has also pretty much been filmed.

My eyes lit up. You have a car?

Ye Xiuwen laughed: My car is a modified tricycle. Because of the special terrain of many valleys, if you drive a large carriage, it will be very hard for you to enter the valleys."

What? You drive this kind of car all over China? " I said, surprised.

Ye Xiuwen shook his head and laughed: No, I have already changed cars quite a few times. At first I drove, but some places were really hard to reach and I couldn't rent a car. That's all I can do.

I looked at him in surprise and thought, This guy is really fighting for his career.

CHAPTER 204 - COFFIN CURSE (1)

After I had eaten my fill, my head felt a little heavy, so I decided to go back to sleep.

The black dog and the leopard cat were still inside the broken house, probably because they were afraid the rain and snow would be too cold.

Before I went to bed, I still kept my phone and other things on me.

Ye Xiuwen, on the other hand, was rather good and gave me a few thick clothes to cover myself with. He carried his own sleeping bag.

However, as I lay on the mat for a short time, I felt a chill run down my spine.

When he woke up, he saw Ye Xiuwen walking over and asked: Are you having a fever?

I lifted my head and touched my forehead. I didn't feel anything, so Ye Xiuwen extended his hand out to touch my forehead.

Ye Xiuwen sighed: You really have a fever. You probably haven't treated your wounds well enough. Wait a moment, I'll go get you some herbs.

There are still wild herbs these days? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen said: As this place is relatively remote, the natural ecology is preserved quite well. Wait a moment, I'll go find something.

With that, Ye Xiuwen left the room.

I looked out the window and saw that the rain and snow had stopped. The black dog and the leopard cat were still there, looking at me obediently.

Not long after Ye Xiuwen left, I suddenly heard some weird noises, as though hundreds of people were shouting at the same time.

This strange sound came from far away and became louder and louder. At this time, the black dog and the leopard cat were also restless, constantly barking.

I listened for a moment in confusion, but could not make out what it was, so I gave up. After a while, Ye Xiuwen returned.

Not bad, even though the weather is a bit strange with the rain and snow, the mountain herbs look pretty good. Ye Xiuwen said.

You actually know Chinese medicine? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen laughed, I came out alone for so many years, of course I know a little about all sorts of things.

With that, Ye Xiuwen began to boil the medicine.

I sat on the mat and looked at the pair of black dog and leopard cats at the door. Why are these two still here?

Ye Xiuwen turned to look and laughed: Let them be here. These two are Evil Repellent objects. It is said that black dogs, leopards, and cats repel evil. The place we live in is an ancestral hall, so we have a lot of evil creatures."

I said smilingly, You also believe in these things?

Ye Xiuwen said: It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but in this world, everything is possible, and all sorts of strange things can happen.

I thought how reasonable it was that I had nothing to say to that.

I couldn't sleep because of the fever, so I sat up around my clothes. Beside me was a cat and a dog, leaning on me like guards, but they weren't cold anymore.

I laughed, suddenly amused.

Ye Xiuwen looked at me while he was brewing the medicine and asked in shock, Your situation isn't too good. You can still smile even after falling into such a predicament.

What if you cry like a woman? I asked, That's right, did you hear a strange roar when you left?

Ye Xiuwen said: I heard it, in fact, every month at the fifteenth hour, this village will have some strange things happen, this is what I heard from the people in the village, it is not the first time they said they heard hundreds of people shouting at the same time.

Then why? I asked.

I don't know. He said it had something to do with an antique. Ye Xiuwen said: There is a very deep river near this valley, the place you climbed up to. It was said that there had been a heavy rain some time ago, and someone said that something had surfaced in the water, but it had sunk again. Therefore, the villagers suspected that there was an antique treasure hidden under the river, so they all started fishing in the water. Then, three or four days later, because nothing had come out of it, everyone had lost their morale and strongly demanded that work be stopped. And so they stopped, too, and often afterwards there was a strange noise that came out of their mouths again and again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. The surrounding people were quite superstitious, so they spontaneously organized a few deities and seniors to carry out a similar pacification ceremony. In the end, something strange happened. A few days before I came, news came from the village: I found a jade coffin!

Jade coffin? Hearing that, I became interested and asked what the jade coffin looked like.

This coffin is now in the former stables of the village. In the Republic of China, part of the ancestors of the villagers here were coachmen pulling carts. When I found out about it, there seemed to be a lot of people watching every day, for the river mud had been wiped off the very strange coffin. But the water in this part of the river is very fast, even if it rains heavily here. It's strange that this coffin hasn't been washed away. Ye Xiuwen said: I heard that the funeral customs here is that if there were no children while alive, all the burial items would be doubled. Except the coffin, of course. His left hand was covered in silver, while his right hand held a dog pie. Dog-beating cakes are corn tortillas steamed with cornmeal and hair stubble. Legend has it that there are evil dogs blocking the way to the underworld. Haha, you probably know the legend, saying that there is some evil dog Po in the underworld. The coffins here were divided into different grades. The thin coffin was a 3-inch slab, which would rot in about 2-3 years. The best one was a 9-inch slab, and it was made of hard wood, such as camphor wood or sandalwood. Next, he would put a coffin made from Yang Mu's wood on the outside of the coffin. It was called Yang Mu's coffin. But jade coffin s were truly unheard-of. No wonder everyone was so curious. I haven't even heard of such a thing after all these years of traveling.

This is interesting. However, there were many strange things in this ancient place, so there was nothing strange about it. But what does this coffin have to do with howling? I asked.

At this time, the medicine had also been brewed, and Ye Xiuwen used an enamel cup to give it to me: Drink it from my cup if you can. I borrowed it from the village.

What is this? It's really bitter. I had a drink and almost vomited. This is an original Chinese medicine, I rarely drink this stuff.

It's a thing that can reduce fever and reduce flames. Ye Xiuwen laughed.

Go on. I couldn't sleep, so I went on listening.

At this time, the villagers had already divided into two groups. With a few elders leading the group, they insisted on returning the coffins to the river and even buried the jade coffin. He was afraid that it would affect his children. The young people insisted on seeing what was going on. They didn't believe in evil, and they even wanted to go down the river to dig up some things. If they did, they might even dig up some gold and silver treasures." Ye Xiuwen said.

And then? I asked.

Then, the Village Chief also carried a hunting attitude and asked them to continue digging. So the old people burned incense to pray, to say some children ignorant, ask the dead people to forgive and so on. There were indeed a dozen or so young men who went into the water later to find treasures, but they never came back up. After that, for some reason, even though it was a sunny day, the sun was very good, and the temperature was around 10 degrees, but it would often rain or snow, followed by bursts of chilliness. Ye Xiuwen said: Actually, I was also curious about this jade coffin, that's why I stayed behind to take a look. However, after a week, he still could not find anything. I took some pictures and wanted to take them back to a folklore expert.

CHAPTER 205 - COFFIN CURSE (2)

Can you show me a picture of the coffin? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen took out the camera for me to see. I took it and opened it. The jade coffin in the picture was about the size of an ordinary coffin, but its texture was smooth and seemed to be very hard.

No one is curious to open it and take a look? I asked.

Ye Xiuwen laughed: No. At that time, there were also people who could not hold themselves back. They gathered over ten people to stand at the side of the coffin and tried to push it, trying to move the coffin. However, the jade coffin did not move, as if there were no gaps and it could not be opened. In fact, looking at the material is pretty, the sun's rays reflect a light green very lustrous light. But I can't see what's inside.

I think there should be a lot of knowledgeable people in this sort of ancient place. Does no one know where this coffin came from? I asked.

Someone from the village also invited the most famous Feng Shui sir in Handan. This Feng Shui sir's reputation is very high, it is said that fortune telling is passed down from the ancestors, the eldest son and eldest grandson passed down like this. He also didn't know if this person was real or fake. In short, he was quite good at boasting that the first time he gave a fortune telling was when he was 16 years old. In the market, there was a local who didn't believe it. Who had ever seen such a young gentleman? Let him read it, but the gentleman did not look at it, but only said: 'You are too hard, you were forced to be born, you were born with a poor family do not cry.' The man was shocked, because at most three people knew he was not born to cry. The midwife, his mother, told him later. Canfeng Water was even more powerful. Including the Yin Residence and Yang Residence. He would never do that kind of thing, where he broke other people's rules to seek a windfall, such as wrapping up cinnabar and asking for a hundred yuan, such as what other fortune-teller would do. As such, it was highly regarded. It is said that his father is even more godly. If one can pluck a blade of grass from a grave, they will know the gender of the deceased, and whether or not their age is good to the end. Ye Xiuwen said.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Xiuwen also laughed, Actually, I don't really believe it either. However, he had been to many remote places, and in those places, burial was still popular. Therefore, in the local area, Feng Shui also had another use for searching for ancestral tombs. Before liberation, people often went out at the age of 16 to visit Guan Dong. By the time they returned, their parents were dead and their kind neighbors were buried. When the old and the feudal superstitions were broken, the graves were leveled; the trees, temples, stone tablets, which had been the symbols of the great trees, the monuments, and so on, disappeared, either because the economy had developed, or because the roads had been widened, or the land had changed. The old man had only a general idea of what was left in his memory. If his children and grandchildren wanted to be reburied, they would have to ask Feng Shui to help them find their ancestors' graves. Feng Shui normally carried an iron staff that was about half the size of his pinky finger. If one looked at the directions, they would be able to find the ancestral tomb. He could also determine the position of the head and feet, but he wasn't sure how to control them. Basically, the burials were both north and south, north and south of the foot, and there was a crock buried at the top of the grave. This was the main reason why everyone wanted to see Feng Shui. I've seen it a few times, and it's quite accurate. I also find it strange.

So what did Mr. Feng Shui say? I asked.

I went to see it that day, the day before yesterday. Mr. Feng Shui walked up to the coffin in the stable. He was surprised, but he did not say anything. He carefully examined the coffin. He never used a handmade iron staff. After sizing him up for half an hour, even I was getting tired of waiting when I saw the fortune-teller walk to the side, and the village chief and a few other elderly people whispering to each other. Then the old people separated from the women and children. Then, Mr. Feng Shui said, 'There must be a green snake within five steps.' So he walked to the southeast side of the coffin and stopped four or five steps from it. The sun looked like it was getting weaker and weaker. Not long later, a few little green snakes actually slithered over. There was indeed a type of little green snake in the area, but it was extremely rare. When the old ladies saw the little green snake, it was about as long as a chopstick, so they would kowtow, find a plate covered in red cloth, and invite the green snake to the house. It is strange to say that Green Snake will always obediently climb onto the plate, and then enjoy the incense for a few days, and then disappear without a trace. Ye Xiuwen said.

In short, fortune-teller said that the person inside this coffin is a snake immortal who failed his tribulation, which is a giant python. If he said anything about disturbing it, it would attract the snake's revenge. Therefore, the villagers had to sincerely offer the jade coffin up for the next forty-nine days. If anyone is impious during this period of time, he will be killed. Ye Xiuwen laughed: Anyway, I think this is just to trick people. But the villagers do.

What and what? I bitterly smiled. However, I didn't see any cracks on the coffin. It seems to be tightly sewn together.

Yes, this is very strange. I haven't studied jade either, but I keep on having the feeling that the stone doesn't seem to be jade. Ye Xiuwen said.

Who knows, but it's quite interesting. I replied smilingly, I don't know what time it is either.

"It's almost midnight. Sleep
