"Huh? No, pry the coffin nail, this, how is this possible, who would do such a disrespectful thing to the deceased? ”

"If it's from the Lin family, naturally not," the Taoist priest said, glanced at me, and then suddenly asked, "But what if it's not the Lin family?" ”

I couldn't turn a corner, so I asked him, "What do you mean?" ”

The Taoist priest glanced at the village under the cover of night with a solemn expression, it was now more than eight o'clock in the evening, most of the people in the village had not rested, and the bright lights were in stark contrast to the heavy darkness around them.

The Taoist priest lit another cigarette and took a puff before continuing: "If Dao Ye guessed correctly, someone must have known about the movement of the coffin the next night, guessed that Mother Lin faked her death, and then took the opportunity to open the coffin and change the person." But because of what happened the night before, the people behind the scenes were worried that the Lin family would open the coffin and check the body, and then lay down in it themselves, making a movement again, completely scaring the Lin family to bury it early. And after the body was buried, no one could know the secret, but what he never expected was that just when everyone was scared away and he was just about to lift the coffin to flash people, Lin Qiaoer happened to hear the movement and walked down, breaking the scene, which left a flaw. ”

I looked at the Taoist priest in surprise, and said in my heart how could this guy know so much, as if the person behind the scenes was himself. But I also knew that it was impossible, and at the time of these events, the Taoist priest and I were thousands of miles away from our hometown.

The Taoist priest's speculation sounds reasonable, but as long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that there are still many loopholes, such as the identity of the person behind the scenes, what is the purpose of what he is doing this? And how did he open the coffin and replace Mother Lin in full view of everyone? The coffin was nailed up, so no one saw it during this period? There are also uncles who can't explain it when they see the coffin oozing blood, and if it's really as the Taoist priest said, then there is still one biggest loophole: the corpse we see after opening the coffin.

Since Mother Lin has been replaced, and Lin Qiaoer also saw the person behind the scenes coming out of the coffin, how to explain the corpse we saw when we opened the coffin during the day, looking at the appearance of the corpse, it was clearly a middle-aged woman.

I said all the doubts that came to my mind, and in the face of my doubts, the Taoist priest didn't care, and gave explanations for my questions one by one.

The first is the identity and purpose of the person behind the scenes, the Taoist priest said that unless he is found, it is impossible for even an immortal to guess, but he suspects that this person may know Mother Lin, and even Mother Lin's fake death may have something to do with him, otherwise he would not have done so much afterwards.

As for how he replaced people silently, this is also simple, the Taoist priest pointed to the roof of the building where we are standing now, the three-story building is not high, but it is not low, behind the house is the farmland, behind the farmland is the endless green forest, because the house is just in the corner, so there is no one on the left and right.

"The Taoist called you up to see the situation, see it, there are no people on the left and right, and the windows of the building opposite the door are not opened to this side, and the people who are replaced are put here, no one will find out, and you look at the door," the Taoist priest pointed to the iron door leading to the top of the building, and then said: "The iron door is seriously rusted, indicating that few people come up, as long as there is a helper, a person opens the coffin below, and a person responds on the top, and it is completely possible to hang people to the roof silently." As for the coffin nail, hehe, if Dao Ye wants, he only needs a small wire to raise the nail, and Dao Ye can also remove the nail without making a sound. As long as you make a little movement outside and attract people out, you can replace people silently in less than a few minutes. ”

Still incredible, I continued, "Even if you're right, how do you explain the remaining questions?" ”

The Taoist priest did not sell the guanzi, and continued to explain the rest of the questions, he said that people always instinctively avoid the dead, besides, there was that kind of strange thing the night before, who would dare to get close to the coffin the next day to take a closer look? As long as the coffin is not opened too early, it is normal for others not to find out.

"Wait, there's something wrong with your explanation!" When the Taoist priest said this, I interrupted him, and the Taoist priest looked at me, not knowing what problem I found, so I said: "According to your explanation, no one found out that the coffin nails were pulled out because people were afraid of the dead, but Uncle Lin immediately stepped forward to check the situation after hearing the movement of the coffin, if the coffin nails were gone, he must have found it at that time, how could he not mention this?" ”

"Hmmm! What you said is good, but have you ever thought that if you were the only one who approached the coffin that made the sound in the weird and terrifying atmosphere at that time, you did find that the coffin nail was missing, but before you could figure out what was going on, you saw the coffin dripping blood, with the strange sound coming from the coffin, what was your first reaction? ”

My heart says this is still asking? Of course, he was going to get away from the coffin right away, and as far as he could. Thinking about this, I was immediately shocked in my heart, and understood that the Taoist priest's speculation was likely to be true, unless it was a guy like the Taoist priest who was not afraid of ghosts, anyone would be scared away under the circumstances at that time. And the time when the coffin rings is too tricky, people who often go all night in Internet cafes should have a feeling, no matter how energetic you are, at about four o'clock, the spirit is at the most fatigued time, even if there is a movement, it is not easy to wake up other people who are asleep.

In this way, when the person who guards the spirit is gone, the person in the coffin has a long time to clean up the aftermath and then re-nail the coffin nails, so that all the secrets are sealed in the coffin. And because of the movement of the coffin, no one will dare to open the coffin again, and there will be no abnormalities in the coffin, and everything will be buried in the ground without knowing it, and no one will ever know.

But that's not right, what happened to the corpse we found after we opened the coffin? According to the Taoist priest, Mother Lin should have been rescued.

I looked at the Taoist priest and cast a puzzled look at him, but the Taoist priest told me that the body we dug up was not Mother Lin, but someone else.

Now I was even more confused, my mind was messed up, and the Taoist priest saw that I was about to go crazy, so he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again, explaining that the body in the coffin was indeed not Mother Lin, but a person who was very similar in size and appearance to Mother Lin. Originally, the Taoist priest also thought that the buried person was Mother Lin, so he told me that this might be a human tragedy, but the details of the coffin opened by Lin Qiaoer made him suspicious, and then opened the coffin to examine the body, which proved his guess.

After seeing the tragic situation of the corpse, I thought of the possibility that the Taoist priest had thought of before, that is, Mother Lin was buried alive by her relatives, but the Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief at the moment of opening the coffin, and he secretly cast a small spell with Lin Qiaoer's hair after opening the coffin, if the person lying in the coffin and Lin Qiaoer are blood relatives within two generations, the corpse will change, but the corpse did not react at all, and the Taoist priest suspected that the person in the coffin was not Mother Lin.

Later, when the official practice was done, this guess was indeed proven, and the Taoist priest did not react at all when he summoned the spirit, which was only one possibility, that is, the name and birth date of the corpse were wrong.

So the Taoist priest had the speculation he had just told me, and I was both shocked and puzzled, if it wasn't Mother Lin, who was the body in the coffin?

The Taoist priest's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to me: "I don't know what the corpse is, but it is certain that the person in the coffin is still alive before the burial, and the Taoist suspects that it is the person behind the scenes to prevent someone from digging the grave and checking the corpse after the coffin is buried......

I can guess what happened after that without the Taoist priest saying it, the ghost has never died, but it should have been manipulated and in a coma. After being buried alive, a strong sense of survival made her desperately want to escape, but the nailed coffin board was more than three inches thick, and the coffin was pressed with at least several tons of soil.

I felt a chill in my heart, it reminded me of myself and the Taoist priest after escaping from the sinkhole, and finally got into an empty tomb, if I think about it, if it weren't for the fact that the coffin had been decaying for some years, and I still had the monster-like existence of the Taoist priest by my side, otherwise I might have begun to rot by now.

Unfortunately, the poor woman who did not know her identity did not encounter a miracle, she was suffocated to death in the coffin in the ground, I guess she must have been terrified before she died, and scratched the coffin lid desperately, trying to break a way out, so that the flesh and blood of the ten fingers were worn off, revealing the white bones, and finally died in unwillingness and hatred.

For that poor man, I have only pity in my heart, but even stronger is the fear of the one behind the cruelty. What would a guy who treats human life like a waste of life do if he knew that what he was trying to cover up was shaken out by us?

My heart jumped, and I looked at the Taoist priest sharply, and found that he didn't look good, and obviously thought of this problem as well.

"What now?" I asked the Taoist.

He sighed, frowned and said, "What can I do, the matter is done, hurry up!" Dao Ye always has a feeling of being targeted, no, the enemy is dark and I am clear, I will leave tomorrow morning, and when I go back, I have to ask your third uncle for a few bodyguards. ”

The Taoist priest's words made me also have a bad feeling, as if there were really eyes watching us in the darkness around me, I nodded in agreement with the Taoist priest's suggestion, and at the same time remembered Mother Lin, and subconsciously asked, "Mother Lin, are she still alive?" ”
