Chapter 2: Prelude: The Lost Body

Chu Yi changed into a light uniform, wore a pure yang scarf, and walked like a fly, nearly 50 kilometers away, and when it was almost 1 o'clock at noon, he finally came to Jiejia Village at the foot of Qingping Mountain.

Jiejia Village is the oldest village under Qingping Mountain, in ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient, isolated from the world, nearly a thousand villagers have lived here for generations, it is not an exaggeration to compare it to "paradise", until the nineties of the last century only built the first highway to the outside world.

Chu Yi drank well water with a scoop, and the gray-haired village chief Xie in his fifties was anxiously telling what happened in the morning behind him.

"Early this morning, everyone sent the old lady up the mountain, and when they arrived at the ancestral tomb in Houshan, they found that many graves had been dug up, and the coffins in the tomb were also open, and the corpses inside were gone. ”

Chu Yi put down the scoop: "Village chief, is there anything to eat, I rushed to the road all morning, and I was hungry!"

The village chief reacted at this time, felt rude, and immediately led Chu Yi to his own yard and prepared a light meal for him, Chu took a big bite to sweep away the meal, and then patted himself and said to the village chief: "Let's go, old village chief, follow me to the back mountain." ”

The old village chief took Chu Yi to the back mountain, on the south side of the low back mountain, it is the ancestral grave of Jiejia Village, large and small graves are all over the entire hillside, and at the foot of the mountain is a small but beautiful lake, the lake is surrounded by dense woods, birds and flowers.

Chu Yi stood on the back hill and looked down, and sighed: "This is a feng shui polar land where the tomb is made!"

"Little master, go this way. The old village chief continued to take Chu to the hillside, which was a relatively flat hillside, and the hillside was dominated by dwarf trees and shrubs, and the graves between the bushes were placed facing south.

The two came to understand the old lady's grave, the grave was ready, the old lady's coffin was put aside and had not yet been buried, and a few sturdy young men around saw Chu Yi coming, and their originally frightened expressions were suddenly alleviated, and they greeted them: "Little master, you are finally here, come and see, I have never seen such a strange thing." ”

"With me here, don't panic, tell me the specific situation. ”

A sturdy man wearing a white vest with the words "Serve the People" said to Chu Yi: " We came here in the morning with the coffin, ready to be buried, and suddenly found that there was a new grave next to last year that was thrown away, and the soil was turned out, and we were bold to look inside, and saw that the coffin in the tomb was still there, and the coffin board was opened and thrown aside, and there was nothing in the coffin, and then we found that there was more than this one, and many graves around were thrown away, and the situation inside was the same, and everyone was afraid, so the old lady did not dare to bury it, and quickly told the village chief. ”

Chu Yi looked at the people present and asked, "Is the old lady's family here?"

The village chief told Chu Yi: "According to our custom, the family of the deceased cannot be present when they go up the mountain for burial. ”

Chu Yi came to the tomb next to him, stood on the mound and looked inside, and asked the person next to him, "Have you counted, how many points have been opened?"

A short man standing in the back told Chu Yi loudly: "We have all looked, and in the entire tomb mountain, 5 graves have been dug up." ”

"Well, take me to see!" Chu Yi walked down the grave.

"Okay, I'll take you there," the short man who had just answered Chu Yi took the initiative to stand up and take Chu Yi to look at each of the opened tombs in turn by far and near.

Chu looked at the tombs that were thrown away one by one, and the situation was similar, and he used his mobile phone to take pictures of the inscriptions of each tomb and the surrounding situation. Along the way, whenever Chu Yi passed by a tomb, he clasped his fists at the owner of the tomb (stele), and secretly thought: "Don't blame the seniors, it's disturbed! Don't blame the seniors, it's disturbed!"

Chu Yi was inspecting the fifth grave that had been dug up, when the old village chief walked over, a little anxious: "Little master, how is it?

Chu Yi obviously didn't notice the village chief's question, he squatted and lowered his head around the open coffin cover, staring at the edge of the cover, frowning and thinking about something.

The village chief was afraid of disturbing Chu Yi, but he couldn't help but ask softly: "Little master, this matter is indeed very tricky, besides, the old lady is still waiting to be buried, this time has been long, I am afraid...... Why don't you ask Daoist Purple Whisker to come here in person this time?"

Chu Yi didn't care about the village chief's suspicions, he waved his hand: "With me, you don't have to work for Master."

Chu Yi took a few photos of some details of the coffin cover with his mobile phone, strode back, and said to the village chief and the short man when he rubbed shoulders with the village chief: "Let's go, old village chief, let's go over." ”

The village chief and the short man glanced at each other, followed Chu Yi back to the old lady's grave, and when everyone saw Chu Yi coming back, they all stood up and waited for Chu Yi to tell them the conclusion.

Chu Yi cleared his throat at everyone: "Everyone must keep this matter secret, don't make a big mess." Chu Yi pointed to the man wearing a vest with the words "Serve the People" and said: This eldest brother will stay and help me, and the others will follow the village chief to go back first, and when it is dawn tomorrow morning, everything will return to normal, and then you will come up and bury the old lady. ”

The village chief was a little skeptical: "Little master, are you sure you can solve it tomorrow morning?"

Chu Yi looked at the village chief: "With me, don't worry, village chief, when I go back, I will tell the old lady's family and tell them that I have calculated the hour, and today's Zhongyuan is contrary to the birthday of the prince, so I will be buried tomorrow." ”

The village chief was helpless, agreed to Chu Yi, and took everyone back to Xiejia Village.

After everyone left, the two sat on the tombstone of the old lady who had not yet been erected next to them, and Chu Yi asked the man: "What is the name of this big brother." ”

The man replied: "Oh, little master, my surname is Lei, I should be older than you, call me Lao Lei!"

Chu Yi clenched his fists: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I still call you Brother Lei, our Baiyunguan also had a senior brother with the same surname as you in the past." ”

Lao Lei was a little surprised: "Oh? ”

Chu Yi continued: "It seems that Brother Lei is not from this village, right?"

"No, I'm from the north, I came to Jiejia Village 9 years ago, I can be regarded as having a relationship with this village, little master, is it true that you said that it could have been solved a long time ago?" Lao Lei pulled the topic back.

Chu nodded: "Now it's just the two of us, I can tell you that these graves were not dug up, but dug up from the inside, that is, these bones came out of themselves." ”

When Lao Lei heard this, his face changed greatly: "What, this, how is this possible?"

Chu Yi took out his mobile phone and told Lao Lei about his basis: "Judging from the force of the coffin cover and the way of the mound, it is not dug up from the outside and then pried open, but directly pushed open from the inside, and look, there is no trace of the edge of the coffin being pried." ”

Lao Lei: "Good girl, there is such a thing, so where did all these corpses go?"

Chu Yi looked at the lake not far away: "I don't know about this, but someone will take us there." ”

Lao Lei looked around, but he didn't see anyone except him and Chu Yi: "Who?

Chu Yi pointed to the coffin of the old lady next to him: "He." ”

Lao Lei was so frightened that he almost didn't sit on the ground, Chu Yi hurriedly helped Lao Lei up: "Brother Lei, don't be afraid, listen to me slowly." ”

Chu Yi took out his mobile phone again, flipped through the five tombstones he had just photographed, and said: "Just now I carefully looked at the tombstones of several tombs, and found that these five tombs happen to be the latest five tombs in Jiejia Village in the past few years, the earliest is six years ago, and the earlier tombs are all intact." ”

Lao Lei's face still didn't change back, and he asked tremblingly, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

This shows that these corpses have to do something, and this matter has been prepared since six years ago, but today, when the conditions are met, things have just begun. ”

"What could that be?"

"I don't know, but, according to the theory of yin and yang, everything that is yin and yang will make up the number 7, and now there are only 5, plus Mrs. Lei, it is only 6, how can the number be moved if the number is not enough? I haven't figured this out, just wait and see...... It will be dark until it gets dark, and I estimate that as soon as it gets dark, the old lady will be able to get up. ”

Before Chu Yi finished speaking, Lao Lei stood up and trembled and said, "Little master, I'm an ordinary person, it's useless for you to leave me here, it's better for me to go back......"

Chu Yiyi pulled out Lao Lei one by one: "Brother Lei, don't go, I'm here, what are you afraid of, you are strong, when the time comes, I need you to help me move these corpses back, I can't do it alone." ”

Old Ray stood there hesitantly.

Chu Yi said again: "Besides, everyone knows that you stayed to help me, but you ran back like this, how can you explain to the village chief?"

Lao Lei stomped his feet: "Okay, whether it's dead or alive anyway, that's it, I'll do it with you!"

Chu Yi patted Lao Lei on the shoulder: "It's not that serious, I'm here, it's okay, come on, there is some food here, let's eat some first, haha, and wine." Saying that, Chu Yi saw some wine and food next to him, which were prepared for the funeral procession after the old lady's burial.

The two of them ate and drank, and the sun gradually turned west, and after a while, it went down.

"Let's go, let's stay away, our yang energy is too heavy, and the old lady guild will be unhappy. Chu Yi packed up the wine and food, and came to the bushes more than ten meters away with Lao Lei and squatted down.

This is a full moon night, the huge moon brightly illuminates the night, even the stars have lost their light, although the time is not late, although there is a bright moon in the sky, but after all, in the tomb, there is no sound everywhere, only the wind blows the grass and trees, only feels the yin qi is pressing.

Chu Yi and Lao Lei were very close, he felt that Lao Lei was trembling, so he whispered to Lao Lei, "How was the old lady alive?"

Hearing Chu Yi ask like this, Lao Lei was a little surprised: "It's good, the old man is very kind, he is highly respected, why are you asking this?" ”

"When the old lady gets up, you will treat him as if he is not dead, but still the old lady, so that you will not be so afraid. ”

Lao Lei felt it: "It seems that I am not very scared, the old lady is still good to me, a person from another village, and often sends things to my family......."

At this moment, the two suddenly heard the coffin of the old lady in the distance let out a "bang!" sounds.
