Chapter 374: The Red Box Incident
Is it another dream?
The experience of being in the 100,000 mountains and valleys of Zhangjiajie instantly resurfaced in my mind, when another "me" took me to a cemetery and then choked me by the neck...... Looking back now, the terrifying scene is still vivid!
Could it be that everything in front of you is also a dream?
I learned from the TV series, and my left hand twisted my thigh, and I almost screamed with a sharp pain.
It's so painful, it's not a dream!
When I think about it, I feel stupid, I didn't sleep just now, how can I dream!
Looking at the battle in front of him, it has entered a white heat, and it seems that the tall giants are gradually at a disadvantage.
Although the tall giants are powerful, the other party is not simple, and a few of them can even call the wind and rain - sure enough, the content is similar to some myths and legends.
If it was really the war between the emperor and Chiyou, it happened thousands of years ago! Did I cross over?
Looking around, I became more certain of this idea.
The war in front of us seems to be a movie that is about to be released.
Seeing that the tall giant's side was killed and his armor was abandoned, and the tall giant was also surrounded, suddenly his mask fell to the ground, and I saw this person's appearance clearly, and suddenly my whole body seemed to be electrocuted.
That person actually looked exactly like me, and it could also be said that he looked exactly like the Gu King in the Gu King Temple in the 100,000 Great Mountains.
This person should be Chiyou! Could it be that what is enshrined in the Gu King Temple is actually Chiyou?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is extremely great, because Chi You is the ancestor of the entire Miao people, except for him, who dares to call him the Gu King?
The Gu King is Chi You, why does he look exactly like me?
My scalp was numb again, and I was stunned by what I saw, and I lost sight of the most important questionβhow could I suddenly see what happened thousands of years ago? These things don't seem to be happening, but like a quick movie.
I took a deep breath and thought of a strange story I had heard from my neighbor's old man when I was a child.
It seems that the person who went through this was an uncle of the old man in the neighborhood. Once, he came home late from herding sheep, and in order to get home early, he took a shortcut - a mass grave in several nearby villages.
As he walked, a fog suddenly appeared in front of him, and the evil thing was that no matter how he sped up his pace, he was always in a circle in this fog.
The old man's uncle was a little bit of a Taoist, knowing that he had encountered something unclean, he took a deep breath, his heart was crossed, he bit the tip of his tongue hard, and then spit a few mouthfuls in front of him, scolding as he spitted.
Soon the fog disappeared.
Thinking of this, I bit the tip of my tongue hard, and before I could spit it out, my whole brain ached violently, and then I heard someone call my name.
"Xiao Liu!"
"Lu Dong!"
The severe headache quickly disappeared, and when I raised my head again, I saw Liu Liwei and Zhang Lihai surrounding me, and from everyone's sight, I had two words "worried".
"Lu Dong, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Liwei held my arm and asked softly.
"Me? I just ...... I think I had a delusion just now......"
"Yes! You were like crazy just now, first baring your teeth and claws, and then yelling. β
"Yes!" I smiled wryly, "I don't seem to know anything." β
At this time, the old criminal policeman who recognized the coffin as a small red sandalwood squeezed to the front: "Brother, you should have been captured by this coffin - everyone should not approach this coffin for the time being!" β
Several cultural relics bureaus are out of business.
"That's not going to work! This is a cultural relic, and it has to be transported back to the Cultural Relics Bureau - I have already reported to the director just now, and I am waiting! β
The old detective sneered: "Do you think you can transport it back tonight?" β
A middle-aged man wearing glasses at the Cultural Relics Bureau frowned: "What do you mean by that?" β
The old criminal policeman pointed to the red coffin: "Although you are experts, there are some things you still don't understand - my mother once told me that the little red sandalwood is the best wood to suppress evil spirits, so let's just say so!" If the little red sandalwood is a university undergraduate, then the willow, locust tree, and peach tree are only at the level of the second year of junior high school. β
This reminds me of what my uncle told me about the "ten fierce trees" in their circle, including willows, peach trees, and locust trees.
The locust tree is one of the famous fierce trees, because its yin qi is very heavy, it is rumored to be a tree that can attract ghosts, if it is usually planted at home, it will gather yin qi, which may lead to the overall feng shui fortune of the family is getting worse and worse, and it will also be blamed on unclean things, which is very unlucky.
Mulberry tree is also one of the ten fierce trees, its fierce name comes from its name, the mulberry tree "mulberry" and the funeral of the "mourning" homonym, it is thought that it will produce bad things, in the feng shui also belongs to the evil spirit of the unlucky tree, will produce mourning and other sad and sad things for the family.
There are also the more common willow trees.
The willow tree is also regarded as a fierce tree because of its name, which has a very bad feng shui meaning. The homonym of "willow" and "flow" of willow tree means that the family cannot accumulate good luck, and always flows out of the fortune, and the gold and silver treasures at home will also flow out, which will lead to the situation of leaking money.
In fact, the so-called "fierce tree" depends on where it is planted.
For example, willow trees, if planted by a pond or a small river, are still a beautiful sight, but they cannot be planted in the back of a house. Folk taboo "willow" and "flow" homonym, planting willow behind the house, is to flow money and treasure out of the house, in addition to some people think that Qingming willow, willow beckoning, the image is not good, plus the willow tree does not bear seeds, the seed and the seed are close to the sound, this is unlucky.

Liu Liwei was busy playing the round: "Old Yuan, you ...... You make it clear! What the hell is this coffin? β
The old detective nodded: "My mother said that in their clan, the little red sandalwood is specially used to suppress the most evil things, so I said that the box in my house, do you know what it is used for?" β
Everyone's eyes widened at him, especially those of us who had listened to him tell the first half of the "family story."
Seeing that there was no response, the old criminal policeman sneered: "There is actually my aunt in it - to be precise, my aunt's spirit!" β
Several people looked at each other, but none of them seemed to understand.
Liu Liwei asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your aunt?" β
"My aunt and my mother are twins, and they were born with a serious illness, and the local wizard used witchcraft to save one of them, that is, my mother, and the wizard told me that my grandmother and grandfather, the two children belong to the 'same life', that is, one lives, the other can live, and conversely, if one dies, the other cannot live, so it must be detained by the spirit of the dead child in a small red sandalwood box."
I couldn't help but ask, "What about ...... Is the death of your grandparents related to your aunt's soul? β
The old criminal policeman nodded: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are originally the way of nature, death is death, if a soul stays in the world for a long time, after a long time, its resentment and anger will increase...... That's why my grandfather and grandmother somehow hanged themselves. β
He said it very implicitly, but I think everyone in the room understood it.
To put it simply, it is a common "ghost asking for your life" in Hong Kong movies, and the most influential of them should be the "Bell Witch Incident".
One day in 1818, John Bell, a farmer in Adams, Tennessee, found a wild dog in his cornfield, which was different from the dogs he usually saw. He shoots at the wild dog and hits it, but when he goes to pick it up, he finds nothing. A few days later, when he and his two sons were hunting hares in the field, he found a strange bird in an oak tree, and he shot at the strange bird, which he had hit, but when he ran under the tree, he still found nothing.
That night, something strange happened in Bell's house, and strange noises came from the whole house, and when it was dawn, the family found that there were marks of rat bites everywhere. In the next few days, the family was awakened by the noise as soon as they fell asleep, and the signs of gnawing on the facilities in the house became more and more obvious, and Bell put a mousetrap and rat poison in the corner, but did not catch a single mouse.
A few days later, Bell's youngest daughter, Betsy, was sleeping when she was suddenly suspended in the air by an invisible force with her hair. The screams of terror alarmed the Bells, and when they rushed through the door, the invisible force vanished, and their daughter fell out of mid-air on the bed, but fortunately unharmed.
Mrs. Bell thought that there were "evil spirits" living in the house, and with the help of neighbors, several "exorcist masters" came to Bell's house, and even Andrew Jackson, who was the future president of the United States and was a general at the time, also came to Bell's house, and they volunteered to exorcise the "evil spirits" for Bell's family, but all of them were ineffective, and strange things still happened. Andrew Jackson was also scared away, saying, "I'd rather deal with a British fleet than stay even one night at Bell's house." β
The finger is pointed at Kate Butz, the town's recognized witch, and Bell claims that he had a conflict with Kate Butz over the land, and Kate Butz claims to his face that he wants to curse his family. Bell didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking that she was just scaring herself, and that he didn't believe in the trick at all.
In view of the strange things that happened in his family, it was believed that Kate's curse had been fulfilled. Four years later, the mentally tormented Bell died, and almost everyone believed that he had been killed by Kate's curse, but the coroner claimed that he had been poisoned.
After Bell's death, the town calmed down, and Bell's widow and children were never harassed by the "evil spirits" again. However, there is a rumor in the town that when the "evil spirit" left, he said something like "I will come back for revenge in seven years", which made the townspeople panic.
Fortunately, the "evil spirit" did not fulfill her promise, and after seven years, she did not return. Then, more than a hundred years later, the "evil spirit" returns again, and all kinds of strange things happen in the town again, and Bell's descendants are attacked again, and they are forced to leave the town where they have lived for generations, but the "curse" still haunts them, and they all die for various reasons.
This case is known in American history as the "Bell Witch Incident" (also known as the Death of an Evil Spirit), and it is also the only officially recognized supernatural event in the United States so far.
Zhang Zhouting's curiosity seemed to be aroused: "Brother Yuan, what ...... What happened then? β
The old detective smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I originally wanted to rot in my stomach about these things, but now it seems that I have to say it......
After the grandparents of the old criminal policeman committed suicide mysteriously, they didn't know that it was the red box at first, but later, my uncle came to see my mother from the south, so he asked about the red box, and kept telling my mother that the red box must be kept.
This aroused my father's curiosity, so he took advantage of the wine to ask about my uncle.
At that time, the uncle didn't know that his grandparents died of hanging himself, and he was also drunk at the time, so he told the story of the red box that pressed the soul of the aunt.
After my uncle went back, my dad had a heart problem, and then he found five or six Mr. Yin and Yang, but he didn't do anything, either he was scared or ran away in a hurry.
Later, the red box was placed in the side room, and no one dared to touch it again.
When I was five or six years old, I had a high fever a few times, and I was dazed to see someone who looked exactly like my mother standing next to me, touching my forehead with his hand and smiling at me.
At first, I thought I was in a daze, but after a few times, I felt that something was wrong.
So I told my mother about it, and my mother just cried "woo woo" after hearing it, and didn't say anything, and when my dad found out, he just sighed.
Later, about two years later, I got pneumonia, and at that time the medical conditions were poor, the transportation was even more inconvenient, and my parents were desperate to see me lying on the kang and dying.
Later, I miraculously got better, and there were no sequelae, which made the doctors who treated me wonder and ask what medicine I took.
My dad didn't say anything, and my mom kept crying.
Then the red box was goneβI never saw ...... again."
After listening to the old criminal policeman's words, several people from the Cultural Relics Bureau glanced at each other, and the man with glasses walked to the side and made a phone call.
It was already dawn, and the coffin was not removed until noon, and I don't know what happened in the meantime.
At noon, a few cages of Lijin fried buns were prepared, and more than a dozen people gathered together, drinking mineral water, and eating directly with their hands.
Zhang Zhouting leaned over to my side: "Brother, that corpse looks like you!" β
I had to pretend that nothing happened: "Maybe...... Maybe it's a coincidence! Doesn't it mean that there are a few people in the Terracotta Warriors who look the same as Feng Gong? β
Zhang Zhouting asked again: "That's right!" When the coffin was first opened, did the brother mainly go to the coffin, and the eyes of the dead body were open or closed? β
"Closed!" I took a sip of water and replied bluntly.
Zhang Zhouting suddenly stopped chewing and looked at me with a puzzled face: "See clearly?" β
I nodded.
"Then ...... That's evil! When I was transporting the corpse to the car just now, I noticed that the corpse's eyes were open! β
