Maoshan ghost hunter

Xie Yuqing nodded and said: "Then I can't accompany you anymore, I have to go back and go through a formality to help you confirm your identity."

"My identity?"

"You will know later." Xie Yuqing smiled mysteriously.

Pushing Li Xiaoqiang's body back into the freezer, Ye Shaoyang and his party came out of the morgue. As soon as they got outside the door, they saw Lin Yongchang and the female classmate presiding over the funeral standing at the corner looking this way. When he arrived at Ye Shaoyang, the girl immediately came over and said to him, "Why are you here? I bought what you wanted, and we dare not mess around. We are waiting for you."

Ye Shaoyang nodded, but before he could speak, the female classmate communicated with Liu Yinshui again, asking him if there was any procedure to follow, and if there was no problem, he wanted to send Li Xiaoqiang's body to the mourning hall for a farewell ceremony.

Liu Yinshui said there was no problem, and took Lin Yongchang to go through the procedures. Ye Shaoyang sent Xie Yuqing away, and then followed the female classmate to the mourning hall, found a piece of paper, and wrote down the things needed for the farewell of the body on it, and then The girl asked two male classmates to buy them.

Ye Shaoyang arranged the eggs and other three offerings, made a long-burning lamp, lit it, and placed it in front of Li Xiaoqiang's portrait. Although his soul is gone, the procedure still needs to be followed, which is also a kind of respect for the deceased.

After a while, Lin Yongchang and Liu Yinshui pushed an ice coffin and entered the memorial hall through the back door. The ice coffin is a crystal coffin with a freezing device. As long as it is plugged in and operated, it can ensure that the corpse does not rot.

Because there is a local custom of keeping vigil next to the corpse, the funeral home is also willing to do this business.

Liu Yinshui was not in the mood to deal with the dead, so after saying goodbye to Ye Shaoyang, he left on his own.Not long after he left, the sky darkened and began to rain.

Ye Shaoyang asked Lin Yongchang and another classmate to help open the ice coffin, then took a basin of cold water and put it next to the corpse, and then started the procedure: Ye Shaoyang first stuffed a Five Emperors coin into the mouth of the corpse, dipped a towel in water, folded it into a In the shape of three knives, it covered the face of the corpse, and then began to change the shroud of the corpse.

This process seems very simple, but it is actually very particular, because after death, the whole body is hardened, coupled with freezing, the joints are stiff, the clothes are difficult to take off and put on, and according to the custom, the face cannot be lifted during the dressing process. Towels, lest the deceased see his unseemly body and feel resentment. Although Li Xiaoqiang's soul is dead, but for his body, it is still necessary to follow the traditional customs to show respect for the deceased.

This invisibly increases the difficulty.

In this matter, there are skills but no shortcuts. Ye Shaoyang holds one arm of the corpse, pinches the muscles, activates the tendons, and pushes the joints. After a set of procedures, the joints are finally opened.

Then simply wipe the body from the half body, put on the clothes, and then tie the feet and hands of the corpse with white cloth, put the five fingers together, the thumbs inwards, clasp the hands, and put them on the lower abdomen, with the left hand on the top and the right hand on the bottom, because according to folk It is said that the left hand is good, the right hand is evil, and the left hand wraps the right hand, implying a new life in the next life, abandoning evil and promoting good.

After finishing all this, Ye Shaoyang took off the towel covering the corpse's face, took out the copper coin from the corpse's mouth, looked around at the students who were watching, and said, "This corpse coin can keep you safe. Who will take it?"

Everyone didn't dare to ask for it. After all, they were a bit taboo about the things of the dead, so Lin Yongchang later asked for them.

Afterwards, a farewell ceremony was held for the body... After the end, most of the students went back in the rain, and only a few students who had a good relationship with Li Xiaoqiang stayed to watch the night for his first seven days.

Ye Shaoyang was not familiar with them, so he borrowed an umbrella from them, left the mourning hall, and walked around the crematorium in the rain. On the mountain, there is only one road leading to the city, and on the mountain next to it is the cemetery, which gathers yin and qi. This kind of feng shui is most liked by lonely souls and wild ghosts. There are many people during the day, but it is definitely not so peaceful here at night.

Moreover, Ye Shaoyang looked at the rain curtain in front of him and thought worriedly, today is still a rainy day.

Because people often keep vigils, the funeral home also has a cafeteria. Ye Shaoyang walked to the entrance of the cafeteria, went in and had lunch. When he came out, he was surprised to find that the light rain had turned into a heavy rain, and it was pouring down.

Ye Shaoyang ran to the mourning hall in the rain, and was dumbfounded when he saw it: the water outside the mourning hall was flowing into a river, continuously pouring into the hall, and a layer of water had already accumulated, and several male students were sweeping the water with brooms.

Ye Shaoyang turned his head to look, only to find that the terrain of the memorial hall is lower than the outside, so it will be flooded with rainwater.It's supposed to be okay.But from the rain under his feet, Ye Shaoyang smelled an unusual smell. While everyone was draining water, he drew a talisman to test injustice, threw it into the water, picked it up a few seconds later, and saw that the talisman had turned into Black, pitch black as ink!

Ye Shaoyang looked at the talisman paper, his expression froze. There was such a strong corpse aura in the rain!

After thinking for a while, he understood where the corpse aura came from!

Chapter 629 Night Watch

This is a crematorium. Corpses are burned every day. A lot of ashes will rise to the sky with the smoke and land on the surrounding land. There is a small amount of corpse gas in them, which will slowly dissipate under normal conditions, but this heavy rain has no effect. Unavoidably, the bone ash particles in the nearby soil and the corpse gas contaminated on it were brought down together, forming corpse water.

This kind of corpse water has no effect on living people, but if it flows like this all over the room, it will interfere with the mage's perception of nearby breaths. There are corpses everywhere, and if there are zombies or ghosts coming in, it is easy to let them People don't notice it.

Ye Shaoyang asked the staff to bring some rain-proof cloths and put them on the threshold to prevent the rainwater from pouring back. Then several boys worked together to clean the accumulated water in the mourning hall from the back door with brooms and shovels. The dead breath will not dissipate for a while.

In order to prevent accidents at night, Ye Shaoyang went outside the door, and while everyone was not paying attention, he pasted a talisman on the porch to protect the safety of the mourning hall.

After finishing all these tasks, Ye Shaoyang took a futon and sat down in a corner of the mourning hall. Those students gathered around and burned paper in front of the ever-burning lamp.

It was raining and it got dark early. It was dark before five o’clock. Because the umbrellas were not enough, we discussed it. Two boys bought food from the cafeteria. After a while, they came back with two slowly and two big bags of lunch. They formed a circle in front of the mourning hall to eat, and someone called Ye Shaoyang over to eat, but Ye Shaoyang was too embarrassed to eat with strangers, using the excuse that he was not hungry.

After a while, the female classmate I was dealing with came over with a box of meals and said, "It's been a long night, let's eat some food, otherwise there will be nowhere to buy it at night."

Ye Shaoyang thanked him, then took the lunch box and started to eat.The female classmate sat next to him and ate with him.

"Look at the process of encoffining Xiaoqiang just now. You are so professional. Have you ever been an embalmer?"

Ye Shaoyang smiled, and excused that his family was in a mountain village and kept some funeral traditions, and he had read a lot since he was a child, so he learned it.The female classmates believed it was true.

How did she know that the mountain people in the area near Maoshan always ask Maoshan disciples to preside over the funerals. Usually, such things are handed over to outer disciples, but in the first few years when she first started, whenever there was a funeral nearby, Qingyunzi would let Ye Shaoyang Go ahead and follow the senior brother of the outer door to take care of it.

At first he didn't understand why he did this, but later he gradually understood that Qing Yunzi did this to cultivate his awe and understanding of death. Simply put, the more funerals he presides over, the more he understands life than others Layer, this is very important for a cultivator.As the saying goes, if you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts.

The two chatted while eating, and Ye Shaoyang learned that the female classmate's name was An Xiaoqian, and she was from a certain place in Yuzhou. Ye Shaoyang had never heard of that place name, and she was the monitor of Li Xiaoqiang's class, and both of them were cadres of the student union. The relationship is very good.

Ye Shaoyang seized this opportunity and inquired about Li Xiaoqiang's situation before his death, but what he got was similar to what Liu Yinshui said, so he asked about the situation of Lifen Garden instead.

"You've also heard that that place is haunted, right?" An Xiaoqian said, "Our school has a long history. It is said that the school was established during the Republic of China. Over the years, there have been many haunted legends in many places, but there are three There are the most haunted legends in this place, one is No. [-] Anatomy Building, one is Wangchuan River, and the other is Lifen Garden.”

Ye Shaoyang asked in surprise, "Wangchuanhe?"

"Oh, it's that black ditch. Because there are many haunted legends, and the water is black, it looks scary, so we privately call it Wangchuan River; No. [-] Anatomy Building is the one directly opposite Life Garden. Building, I heard that the building used to be used for anatomy classes, but it was abandoned later, but there is still a specimen pool in it, and there are some corpses in it."

Ye Shaoyang nodded slowly, knowing that what she was talking about was the building he had noticed before.

"Hey, do you know what's wrong with that building?" An Xiaoqian suddenly lowered her voice and looked at Ye Shaoyang mysteriously.

Ye Shaoyang shook his head dumbly.

"Listen to me, the shape of that building is not a standard rectangle, but a trapezoid with a little curvature on both sides. What is a trapezoid? It's a coffin!"

Ye Shaoyang's heart moved, and he blurted out and asked, "Why did you build the building into this shape?"

"Then who knows, this building was built in the 60s, and it has been more than 50 years, who knows why. This building was originally used as a classroom, but because of a very, very terrible incident, it was closed down later. Use it, change it to the anatomy building..."

"What's the matter? Wait a minute, how do you know so clearly?" Ye Shaoyang asked curiously.

"I read it all from the information," An Xiaoqian glanced at Li Xiaoqiang's photo from a distance, and said with a sigh, "It's because of Xiaoqiang, we are both in the student union, and we often go out together. At that time, I saw that he was always running to the archives. I was very curious, so I went to him once and found that he was looking at the archives about Building No. [-]. I stood behind him and glanced for a while. Guess what I saw what?"

Before Ye Shaoyang could open his mouth, An Xiaoqian played his true nature of chatterbox, leaned into his ear, and said in a voice that no one else could hear: "It says in the information, in... which year I forgot, anyway, it's No. [-] During the first few years when the building was built, students committed suicide one after another, a total of [-] students committed suicide!"

Ye Shaoyang shivered all over, "How could 50 people commit suicide!"

Because of the excitement, the voice was a little louder, which caused several students on the opposite side to turn their heads to look over.

An Xiaoqian didn't make a sound, and waited for them to turn their attention away before saying to Ye Shaoyang: "It's absolutely true, this is recorded in the file, and it said that the people who died were all from the same class, all on the same day. Most of the suicides are by jumping off a building, and there are also those who hang themselves on telephone poles with their own belts, and those who beat each other to death with sharp weapons..."

Ye Shaoyang thought about the scene, and suddenly felt chills all over his body: After so many years of catching ghosts and subduing demons, he has never seen such a weird thing. 50 people committed suicide collectively. If it was lured by ghosts, how strong resentment would be needed to do it arrive?

"And then, how did the school deal with it?"

"Later, the building was discontinued and used as a mortuary building."

Ye Shaoyang said: "No, I mean, how did this matter be handled? There are so many people, so there is no follow-up?"

An Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "No, I just saw this page and couldn't help crying out. When Xiaoqiang found out, he said I shouldn't read this, so he drove me away. After I went back, I have been thinking about this matter and asked around, but no one knows the news, and I searched the Internet and there is no record.
