The thick fog shrouded in the forest of hanging corpses has dissipated, standing on the hillside and looking down, as far as the eye can see, you can almost see the slope more than twenty meters away, and the previous feeling of gloomy aura has also disappeared, and you can't see half of the hanging corpse.

I specially went to see the trees where Lin Qiaoer had photographed people's faces before, and found that the trunks were very normal, and there were no human faces. The group went deep into the forest again, and with vague memories, I led them to the place where the huge ghost vine lived, only to find that the top of the locust tree was empty, and the huge vamphivorous vine was gone.

The corpses hanging from the ghost vines were also missing, and only the ground was scattered with countless rotten white bones, almost piled up, and they looked extremely terrifying.

The crowns of the surrounding locust trees are broken to varying degrees, and it seems that they have been forcibly dragged by something, and at the root of the largest locust tree, there is a huge deep pit with a diameter of five or six meters, which is dark and bottomless.

I looked at it carefully for a long time, but I couldn't understand the essentials, the roots of the locust tree were injured, and it was very dangerous to stay here, so we hurriedly walked away. After searching the neighborhood for a while, but there was still no clue, the old woman asked me to take her to the place where the corpse mover lived.

Since I met the corpse mover in a panic and ran for my life, I don't remember very well, but after going around for nearly an hour, I finally saw the humble shack.

I called twice, but there was no response, and we went up and found no one inside, and judging by the ashes outside the shack, there had been no fire for days. What's going on, what the hell happened, the ghost vine is gone, even the old man is gone.

The old woman went into the shack and looked at it, her face suddenly changed, and she stared at the words written in the ashes on the dirt floor. I have never seen this kind of writing, and it is supposed to be the language of the old woman and their people.

She didn't tell me what it meant, and I didn't want to ask, so I kept an eye on it and wrote down the outline of it.

The disappearance of the ghost vine cast a shadow on my heart, and the ghost vine also appeared behind the strange stone tablet in Fengyang, will the ghost vine there have any connection with the ghost vine in Aji Village? I had a hunch that this was definitely not a good thing, and maybe I could run into it again.

As it turned out, my hunch was not unfounded, but the place where the ghost vine reappeared was not what I expected, but it was a long time later.

A week later, under the strong advocacy of the old woman and Lin Dongyang, the hanging corpse burial custom that had lasted for thousands of years in Shangli was abolished. Moreover, the new generation of Aji villagers has embraced the influence of the new ideas and strongly supports the move to change the hanging burial to the burial.

As an outsider, I am naturally glad to see such a change in customs, after all, I have witnessed the massive corpses of hanging corpses raising terrible vamphivorous vines, causing all those who are near the forest to die.

In the meantime, although there are still many unsolved mysteries, the entire Fengyang has become a dead place, there are no clues, and there is no point in digging deeper. Ah Chang helped us contact the villagers in the village who were going to Luogong to run errands, and took the only tractor in the village to the road.

When I was a kid, I used to ride this kind of cricket-like tractor, but I never felt that this thing was so slow, and it was almost driving us crazy at less than 25 kilometers per hour. Fortunately, the sky is open, there is no sun, and the weather is cool. The open-air carriages were filled with sacks, which were filled with hides from various families in the village, and it felt soft and comfortable to sit on. We sat on it and admired the forest full of pristine and wild beauty on both sides of the road, and at first it was quite good, like a sightseeing bus touring, but after a long time, the whole butt was stuck in the pocket, and it was sore and painful.

Before leaving the village, the Taoist priest and I discussed before, took out three gold bars and gave them to the old woman for Cortana's daily life. The mountains are poor, although the old woman speaks very heavily in the village, but life is just as poor, when I take out the gold, she has always been calm suddenly widened her presbyopia, and rarely showed surprise.

Yang Mengqing came back from leave this time, after learning that her father had been killed, she has been in grief, but the deceased is gone, life has to go on, and her mother's body has not been found, she firmly believes that her mother is still alive, and is ready to go back to school to complete her studies first, and then find a way to find it.

After learning that the school she attended was in the same city as the newspaper where I worked, the Taoist priest and I changed our minds and temporarily let me act as her guardian, usually she lived in the school, and moved to Lin Qiao'er during the holidays, and her living expenses throughout the college period were shared by me and the Taoist priest.

To this point, we have tried our best, and we only hope that the little girl can come out of the shadows as soon as possible and welcome a new life.

The four of them bumped all the way for nearly four hours, from early morning to noon, and finally arrived at Luogong County, we were so excited that we were in tears, and our buttocks were finally able to be liberated. Repeatedly thanked our fellow countrymen, we entered the city, first found a hotel to stay, there is no high-speed rail in Luogon, we were going to buy train tickets, but with so much gold, worried that there would be trouble through the security check, so we bought the next day's long-distance sleeper car to Spring City.

Even so, when we went through the car security check, the young lady at the security check was still stunned by the gold in the Taoist bag, and after some explanation, she let us through, but looking at her like that, she obviously regarded us as criminals.

After the bus arrived at the station, we transferred to the high-speed train to Sichuan and Shu, and finally returned to Chengdu before dark.

The journey is always tiring, and my physical condition is not very good, so I am always drowsy, but I am worried that I will fall into a nightmare and not be able to wake up, so I have been holding on. My family is not in Sichuan, but because I work here, I rented a house, which is near the newspaper office.

The house is shared with Lin Qiaoer, three bedrooms and one living room, one of which was converted into a workshop by us, usually due to busy work, so most of the time at home we are in the studio to deal with the news.

The place is relatively small, Yang Mengqing and Lin Qiaoer sleep together, I cleaned up the workshop and gave the Taoist priest a floor, this guy complained, and said that I am a guest anyway, and you fucking entertain guests like this?

I said you can't live it, if you don't like it, you can go to the nightclub on the next street, it's much more comfortable than mine, and there are beautiful girls. His eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, but he immediately smiled dryly and said that he was not that kind of person, so let's sleep! I laughed in my heart, this guy doesn't have a big boy in his pocket, and I gave the ticket money along the way, although there is gold, but it is impossible to take the gold bar to find the lady!

……

Lying in bed at night, the long-lost sense of relaxation soothed my whole being, and I fell asleep unconsciously. Strange to say, after the last time I fell asleep in a nightmare for three days, I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, and finally I couldn't help but fall asleep, but I didn't dream of the ghost lake, and woke up the next day as usual.

I still didn't dream of the ghost lake, but I also slept extremely restlessly, and I had a nightmare that many Fengyang townspeople who were chained by black gas were tearing me apart and asking for my life, including the bald mayor. The dream was extremely real, and I didn't realize it was a dream at all, so I could only run as hard as I could, but in the end I was caught by these unjust souls......

When I woke up, I was covered in sweat and had palpitations. This dream was a little unusual, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and after I got up, I sorted out the sensational photos taken in Aji Village with Lin Qiaoer and handed them over to the newspaper.

The photos and videos caused a sensation at the top of the newspaper, and we were called to the editor-in-chief's office, where we found that several of the newspaper's hardcore editors-in-chief were inside, looking at what we had brought back, with indescribable horror and shock on their faces.

They asked us in detail about the course of our trip, and I deleted and subtracted the parts that could be said, adding fuel and vinegar, and retained the part of the nine deaths and lives, but also eliminated the gold bars and the affairs of Aji Village.

These guys who are high up on weekdays and always hold the shelves are unusually polite to us, and they have been smiling at each other, saying that you have worked hard this time, and the society will give you a generous bonus, and give you a month's vacation to rest well, but about these photos, they must not be leaked.

This is considered a hush money for us, Lin Qiaoer and I agreed, and by the way, we mentioned that the car was lost by us, and the editor-in-chief laughed and said that it was a trivial matter, and when you come back, I will immediately give you a promotion, and a new one.

We returned home satisfied, and three days later, we received the bonus, a full 500,000, Lin Qiaoer and I got 250,000 yuan alone, both of them were stunned, is this still the newspaper that usually has to deduct the year-end bonus?

Things are always so unexpected, the newspaper gave us a month's long vacation, and I plan to use this vacation to go back to my hometown to meet my grandmother, after all, the curse on my arm is not solved for a day, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

On the fifth day after her return, Yang Mengqing returned to school, and she had recovered from the grief of her family's ruin, at least on the surface. At the same time, a piece of news that shocked the whole country occupied the front pages of the country's major media with lightning speed.

The appalling custom of human sacrifice, the creepy real-life zombies, and countless hideous and terrifying monsters, everyone's eyes were attracted by this news, which immediately made the newspaper that spread the news famous.

This is the end of the first volume of Miao Jiang Ghost School, thank you for your support, and the second volume of the Dead Ridge Bone Cave, I hope to bring you a more wonderful story.
