Because it had rained at night, the mountain road was not easy to walk, so Zhang Feijie and Shigong hurried to finally arrive at the stone field.

The latter advised: "Don't come over for anything I do for a while, especially hold Mingping, if they snatch it away, you won't be able to find it back for the rest of your life." ”

Zhang Feijie nodded again and again, feeling a little nervous inexplicably, he followed his master inside, and soon saw the stone.

Shigong also saw his fear, and pointed to a clearing in the middle of the stone field: "You stand here, don't go into the circle." ”

When Zhang Feijie stood up, he took out a bag of lime from the basket and drew a large circle with a diameter of almost five meters around the stone.

After drawing a circle, he walked to the stone, lit incense and burned paper, and said in a loud voice: "The virtuous couple have suffered here, and the old man has prepared good wine and good food to come to see you."

Although Ming Ping is still young, his uncle takes good care of him, you don't have to worry, let him leave now, okay?

If you agree, you will receive the incense money, and you will not interfere with each other in the future...... Please, please. ”

He stuck nine sticks of incense in front of the stones and stared at them motionlessly.

Seeing that the incense burned out as usual, he was a little puzzled: "It's strange, if they agreed, the incense would burn quickly, and if they didn't agree, it would burn slowly, what's the matter now, they are not at home?"

Zhang Feijie was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Can I take the corpse cicada off?"

Shigong was also confused, and nodded: "You try it." ”

Zhang Feijie stretched out his hand and lifted it, but the mask did not move.

He was so disappointed that he was about to ask again, when the cigarette on the incense folded straight over, at right angles to the incense itself, almost parallel to the ground.

Shigong screamed strangely, turned back to him and shouted, "Hurry up!

Such a vision made Zhang Feijie extremely shocked, and he faintly sensed that a dangerous force was approaching.

But the master is here for his nephew, how can he leave the old man and run away first?

Thinking like this, Zhang Feijie put Zhang Mingping down and ran towards his master, but as soon as he stepped into the lime circle, his eyes were blurry.

He was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was fog.

This is strange, it was fine a second ago, why did it get foggy in the quarry so quickly?

He couldn't help but call: "Master, how are you?"

He was answered by a boundless silence, as if the whole world had left him in an instant, and he was the only one left here.

Zhang Feijie panicked, but fortunately, he vaguely remembered the direction where his master was, and ran over while shouting.

Strange things came one after another, he ran for about ten minutes, and he didn't find Shigong's figure at all, and this small stone field suddenly became extremely vast.

Fortunately, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the quarry.

"Feijie, what's wrong?" Aunt Miao's shout also loomed not far away, "Everyone heard your shout and came over, are you okay?"

Things are so weird, with her words, the dense fog in front of Zhang Feijie's eyes instantly cleared.

He subconsciously looked back, whether it was Shigong or Zhang Mingping, all of them were gone, only the lonely lime circle was still lying in place, which made him realize that all this was not a dream.

When Zhang Feijie said this, Bai Xiu also fell into deep thought.

After death, the soul will return to the Yellow Spring, and if it stays in the world, there must be a reason.

One is that his obsession is relatively deep, and his own strength is not bad, so he can go back to swim back, his brothers and sisters-in-law are ordinary people, how can it be possible?

The second is that when people die, they are controlled by secret methods, and their souls cannot return, so they stay, which is very similar to their situation.

But if that's the case, who is the person who laid down the secret method, what is his purpose, and why would he do it to two ordinary villagers?

Could it be that Zhang Feijie's family has any secrets?

If this is the case, then the disappearance of Zhang Mingping and Shigong must also be a trick played by this person, in other words, his purpose may not have been achieved?

While thinking about it, Bai Xiu whispered his thoughts to Bai Che.

The latter is apparently aware of this.

"I ask you three questions. He said to Zhang Feijie, "Your parents and your brother and sister-in-law really died in an accident? Did your family offend anyone? When your nephew and master disappeared, did you find anything abnormal?"

Zhang Feijie thought about it carefully and shook his head with great certainty: "Our family has never had an important conflict with anyone, and we will definitely not offend anyone, at least we have never had this kind of murderous enmity."

As for their deaths, I had some suspicions, and I had climbed up to the stone field to see them, but I didn't find anything wrong.

The top was mixed with earth and stones, which was originally quite solid, but maybe it was too much rain this spring, so it ......"

He couldn't help wiping his tears: "It's also that we were too careless, thinking that there would be no problem if everything was fine after so many years, but I didn't expect ......"

Bai Che asked, "You really didn't find any problems that day?"

Zhang Feijie frowned and thought hard, and patted his thigh violently: "I remember, my master obviously killed chickens there before, and he drenched some blood on the stones, but when I looked at it later, there was no blood there at all." ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Xiu's mind, but it quickly disappeared again, and he simply said, "The situation is a bit complicated, it's better for us to go there and take a look." ”

Bai Chezheng was bored, so he immediately slapped the coffee table, stood up and looked at Zhang Feijie: "That's right, you lead the way, let's go over." ”

Zhang Feijie couldn't ask for it, and nodded again and again.

Half an hour later, their car drove out of Qucheng, and it drove south for about an hour, turning onto a small road into the village.

Zhang Feijie was right before, the road in Jielu Village is really difficult to walk, and they walked for almost four hours after a two-hour drive.

Because it was almost dark when they arrived, Bai Xiu made a suggestion: "The time of their disappearance is in the morning, let's go over tomorrow." ”

Zhang Feijie estimated that he pinned his last hope on the two of them, and he could be said to be obedient to Bai Xiu.

He pointed to the direction of the village next to the back mountain, and smiled apologetically: "My family's old house is there, I'm really sorry, there are no guest houses in the village, so it's hard for you to stay with me for a night." ”

As he spoke, he entered the village first.

Bai Che observed the houses on both sides as he walked, and finally set his eyes on the red cloth hanging at the door of each house.

He was curious: "What kind of custom do you have, don't hang mirrors or couplets on the door, just hang a strip of cloth?"

Zhang Feijie casually explained: "Our village is more superstitious, and legend has it that there is no road leading to other places behind Jielu Village, but the road on the mountain is for ghosts, and the opposite side is the underworld."

These red cloths are hung to cover up the popularity of the village, so that those ghosts do not harm us. ”

Bai Che sighed: "Then you are quite bold and dare to be a ghost company." ”

Zhang Feijie pointed to the closed doors and sighed bitterly: "If you are bold, you won't be like this, since my parents passed away, everyone doesn't dare to move after seven o'clock." ”

At this time, Bai Xiu asked a question that seemed to be related to his words, but was a little inexplicable: "Are they afraid that ghosts will pass by and take them away?"

"yes. Zhang Feijie said helplessly, "There have been no problems in the stone field for so many years, but my family has suffered, and they all say that my family's feng shui is not good."

It was just on the road, and those ghosts passed by every day, and they took my family as if they were the same kind, so they took them with them. ”

As they spoke, they had already crossed the village to a clearing.

Zhang Feijie's old house stands in the middle, and the blue bricks of the wall have been blackened by the wind and rain, making it look like a large tomb in the dim light.

The closest house to this house is also a few dozen meters away, and it can only be regarded as a neighbor.

Zhang Feijie pushed open the door and pulled the light switch next to him, and the dim light sprinkled down.

Bai Che was startled as soon as he entered the house.

On the cabinet in the center of the narrow hall were four huge posthumous photographs, which at first glance looked like four pairs of eyes were staring at them.

He couldn't help but want to complain, but in this way, he didn't seem to have much respect for Zhang Feijie's four relatives, so he swallowed the words back in his mouth again.

Zhang Feijie let them into a bedroom, and said a little embarrassedly: "There is no fire at home, I will go to the village to buy some wine and food, you can rest first." ”

When he went out, Bai Che rubbed his cold arm and complained, "This village is too weird, I knew I wouldn't come." ”

As soon as he looked at the furnishings in the room, his heart was even more furious, and he couldn't help but pull Bai Xiu: "This won't be his brother and sister-in-law's room." ”

He pointed to the photo hanging on the head of the bed and swallowed: "This seems to be their wedding photo......"

Bai Xiu laughed for a while: "Second brother, there are no 'ghosts' in the world at all, even if there are, aren't they all in the land of listening to souls?"

Even if there are souls that swim back, it is because they have long-cherished wishes that have not been fulfilled, and they will not come to scare people for no reason. ”

Bai Che retorted: "How do you know that Zhang Feijie and his relatives will not come back, maybe they also have unfulfilled wishes?"

The two of them were talking for a while, when suddenly a cough appeared at the door without warning.

In the next second, Zhang Feijie probed the probe: "Two of you, let's come out to eat first." ”

Bai Xiu nodded in response, but Bai Che muttered: "Several pairs of eyes are watching, it's strange if you can eat it." ”

Sure enough, he didn't eat a few bites, he pulled Bai Xiu out of the door, turned back to Zhang Feijie and said, "Let's go to investigate the situation, brother, you rest first." ”

Zhang Feijie didn't dissuade them, he just smiled: "You must come back before twelve o'clock, the midnight in the mountains is heavy and cloudy, which is not good for your health." ”

It wasn't until he left the village that Bai Che breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes rolled, and then he cleared his voice weakly: "Either we go back now, if my aunt knows that I took you out for the night, she will kill me." ”

Bai Xiu knew that he was a little strong, and the atmosphere in this village was indeed very uncomfortable.

However, he had already made up his mind in his heart and persuaded: "Second brother, the matter is not over, we can't go back, at least we have to find those two people." ”

Bai Che snorted: "Maybe they were really captured by that couple to be substituted for the dead, let's find a fart!"

Of course, he was joking, Bai Xiu didn't care, but said meaningfully: "After death, almost all people's souls are attributed to Huangquan Biluo, and many times it is not so much that ghosts are doing trouble, but that people are making trouble." ”

Bai Che's heart moved: "Did you find something?"

"I'm not sure, let's go check first. Bai Xiu pointed to the stone field on the mountainside, "Maybe the clue is there, whether it is the death of the four people or the disappearance of the two, as long as it is man-made, it will definitely leave traces." ”

The two talked for a short time before they arrived outside the entrance mentioned by Zhang Feijie.

Bai Che pointed to the side and asked, "Let's go to the left?"

Bai Xiu thought for a moment and gave Bai Che an unexpected answer: "No, let's go up and have a look." ”

The above point he was talking about was of course the place where the stone fell, which was one or twenty meters higher than the quarry, but fortunately the slope to the north was gentle, and they could climb up from the opposite side if they went around a little along the mountain road.

Zhang Feijie did go up to check, and he was not the only one who did it, the bushes on both sides were pushed very open, and it was not difficult to walk.

A quarter of an hour later, they ascended to the narrow platform at the top of the quarry.

"Huh......"

Bai Che lowered his head and looked at his feet, originally he thought it was just some mud and rocks, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of blackened ashes scattered among the mud and stones.

He hurriedly told Bai Xiu about this discovery, and expressed his guess: "Could it be that Zhang Feijie burned paper here?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiu squatted down and groped carefully, and soon he picked up something that was almost burned to charcoal with his fingers.

He sniffed lightly and said in surprise: "This is not paper money, but a branch, here...... It looks like it was struck by lightning. ”
