We followed the police back to the police station to take notes, and soon it was over. Before calling the police, the three of us had already made a confession - to tell the truth, we told us everything we saw when we first entered the Land Temple, but we had to hide the supernatural experience after that. In fact, even if we say it, no one will believe it, but it will increase the suspicion of the three of us.

When we came out of the police station, it was already past nine o'clock the next morning. Yesterday's heavy rain also gradually stopped at four or five o'clock in the morning.

"What do we do next?" Zhang Dongwei was most worried about the affairs of the Zhang family, and hurriedly asked me as soon as he left the police station.

"Didn't I say that last night? Find the cause of these ghosts. I said.

"But where do you start?" Jar asked.

I asked the two of them, "Have you ever looked at Zhang Yingping's head carefully?" ”

The altar said with a disgusted face: "It's just a dead man's head, what is there to see?" What's more, they've been dead for so many years, who's going to see that thing? ”

Zhang Dongwei also shook his head and said that he hadn't seen it.

I said to Zhang Dongwei: "Last night, I carefully examined your grandfather's head and found that there was a hole the thickness of a little finger in the back of his head. ”

"A little hole the size of a little finger? What is that? Zhang Dongwei asked.

"I don't know, that's why I asked you." I said, "Did your grandfather have any head surgery when he was alive?" ”

Zhang Dongwei said: "My grandfather was a poor peasant all his life, and his family was also very poor when he died, so how could he have the money to have head surgery? And I haven't heard my dad tell me, huh? ”

I nodded: "I have observed your grandfather's head, and the brain inside is completely gone, only a skull of muddy water remains......"

"Water? Was it yesterday's rain? Jarzi asked.

"Impossible! It's impossible for such a small hole to get in so much rain in such a short time! The water was yellowish-brown and smelly, like water from a stinking gutter, much like the water we see gushing out of coffins during the day, only stickier......" I said.

"What do you mean......" Zhang Dongwei asked thoughtfully.

"I mean, it seems that the truth of the matter has to be found at the source......" I said.

The altar also understood: "You mean we have to go to the old grave site?" ”

"That's what it means!"

In order not to attract the attention of others, the three of us secretly came to the back mountain at night. One man had a shovel and dug up the old grave site that had already been filled.

The grave, which was not deep, did not take long for us to dig and saw the coffin board.

After the grave was raised that day, the original broken coffin board was not transported back again, nor was it thrown away, because Gong Feng said at the time that this thing was very unlucky, and it was either burned or buried on the spot. The Zhang family was troublesome, so they threw it in the grave and buried the coffin board together.

The three of us lifted the board and took a flashlight to the bottom of the grave, and the roots of the trees were lying on the ground, but one of them was very conspicuous, it stood upright on the ground. This branch is the thickness of a little finger, growing four or five centimeters above the ground, and the place where it grows is exactly behind Zhang Yingping's head.

I gently touched the tip of the root, and I only felt that it was sharp, like an awl.

"It seems that the hole in the back of your grandfather's head is the fault of this tree root." I said to Zhang Dongwei.

Zhang Dongwei was a little puzzled: "Human bones are so hard, how can a small tree root drill through?" ”

Before I could speak, Tanzi answered for me first: "Big brother, this shows that you are uneducated, right?" You must know that the power of plant rhizomes is very large, and they can drill through mountains and stones. Do you think, even a stone can drill pain, what is a bone? ”

"And what's next?" Zhang Dongwei asked.

"Keep digging down!" I said, "I want to see what's down here?" ”

"How do you know there's something wrong down here?" The jar asked me.

"What happened before the Zhang family can also be attributed to the fact that the feng shui of the yin house was broken, so it could not be blessed by the ancestors. But after Zhang Yingping's grave was raised, these successive events have nothing to do with feng shui. I explained, "If it has nothing to do with this graveyard, why do these strange things happen sooner or later, after the grave is raised?" After thinking about it, I always felt that the incident was caused by this grave. It seems that this grave is not only to move the body of your grandfather Zhang Yingping out, but also seems to have touched something else. So if we want to know the truth, we can only see what's down there! ”

The three of us had been digging down for a long time, and we were almost digging into a big hole, but there was nothing down but the tangled roots.

"Are you thinking wrong?" The altar asked me, "If it has anything to do with this graveyard, how can you see something after digging so deep?" ”

I looked at the excavated pit and thought for a long time, and suddenly my eyes fell on the root of the tree that drilled into Zhang Yingping's skull, and my eyes immediately lit up: "Dig along that root!" It should not be accidental that it is so impartial that it burrows into the human brain, and it is really unusual that the roots of this tree are so sharp that they are like a knife. ”

The jar and Zhang Dongwei had no choice but to do what I said and dig along the roots. It turned out that the roots of the tree were getting thicker and thicker as they were dug up, and they were originally the thickness of the little finger, but after a few shovels, they saw the roots as thick as a baby's arm. After digging down a few more times, I only heard a "dang" sound, and the shovel seemed to have touched some hard object such as a stone.

The jar was stirred twice with a shovel, and a white skull appeared in front of us.

"This ...... This is ......" Although I had made some mental preparations before, knowing that something strange might be dug up, but in this dark night, it was still very terrifying to suddenly see the skull that appeared in front of me.

The skull also looked strange, it was worn on the root of the previous tree. The roots of the tree had penetrated from the skull's jaw and out of its right eye, coiling around it like a snake, and the skull had a large hole in the top of its head......

"This ...... It's not going to be ......"

"Don't talk, keep digging!"

Tan Zi asked, but I was coldly interrupted.

Soon, we dug up thirteen complete skulls one after another, all of which were strung on top of the roots, but in different positions......

We were shocked, but we didn't stop, we kept digging, but we didn't find anything again.

The three of us looked at the fourteen unidentified skulls and were silent for a few moments. In the end, it was Zhang Dongwei who broke the calm: "It's these skulls that make my chickens and dogs restless?" ”

"That's it!"
