Chapter 20: A Mysterious Disappearance

The situation inside the house is even more exaggerated, with prayer flags hanging on the walls around it, and all kinds of yellow charms are also plastered. In the center of the room, a male corpse lay in a long basin, surrounded by ice cubes.

From the cracks in the ice, it could be seen that his face was bloody and fleshy, as if it had been damaged by something, which also made it look even more bloody and terrifying.

And the clothes on his body also surprised me, it turned out to be the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty.

"Master Huang, this is the strange corpse mentioned in the report!"

"Yes, that's it. Although you have already read the report, it is only a rough situation, so let me tell you the details. Master Huang led us back to the living room and sat down at the big round table.

"It all started more than half a month ago, when the Li Group heard that there was a piece of land for sale cheaply, so they asked people to come and see the situation. Although there are some legends about the land, it does not hinder the purchase too much. In their opinion, the so-called ghosts are all scares, and in a few years, who will remember what happened here. The closing of the property was completed within the next week, and the villa we are currently in is within the boundaries of that land. Master Huang looked at us and spoke eloquently.

The day after the closing, the company's engineering team went up the hill and moved into the villa. They were a group of five people, one was in charge of logistics, two were in charge of drawing, and two were in charge of construction. The Lee Group plans to do a good job of the preliminary work first, so that people can draw a topographic map of the area, so as to design the construction map. The two construction projects are only to expand this road forward, so that customers or investors can directly visit the site. ”

"The work proceeded in the first step, until the third day after the start of work. That afternoon, one of the men who had gone out to measure the drawing came back in a panic because the other person who was with him was missing. When the other three saw this, they immediately went out to look for it. But as it grew dark, and the woods began to fog and darken, they had to return to the villa, intending to look for it again the next day. Master Huang took a sip of water and continued.

"Didn't they inform the people of the Lee Group?" Master asked.

"I was notified, but at first the project leader thought that the person was just lost, and asked everyone to go out and look for it."

The next morning the four of them got up, ate a little and went up again. The company learned that no one was found yesterday afternoon, so it planned to ask another construction team of the company to help find it. ”

"Why didn't the company call the police? The police should be able to mobilize more resources! I asked, although I also thought that it might be for the company's own interests and could not do this, but after all, human life is at stake!

"Hehe, little brother, Hong Kong's reporters are not as good as the mainland! They keep an eye on the police station vehicles at all times, and if there is any movement, they will follow them, and the police will not be able to do anything about them. If the company really called the police, then this place will not be able to return to its original cost within five years. Hearing him say this, it seemed right, Master Huang continued: "Just when another construction team came from the city, the four of them found the missing person. In a cave, the missing man had changed into a Qing Dynasty official uniform, his face was also destroyed, and he was lying quietly in the dark cave. When the body was found, both of them were frightened and weakened, and they immediately called the other two over the intercom. ”

After waiting for a while, the four of them got together, and after discussion, they planned to leave the body untouched first, and went back to the villa to inform the company to see what to do. On the way here, the car broke down, so they couldn't get to the villa in time that day, but they received a call from the company, saying that the people on the villa had found the missing person, but the situation was a little special and they needed to wait for them to pass, but they didn't say the specific details. "I found out that the whole thing, from the moment I found the body, started to get weird.

After returning to the villa, the four people should have been frightened, and in the afternoon, they contacted the company's project leader several times in a row, urging them to ask why another group of engineering teams had not yet arrived, and the person in charge explained that the car broke down halfway. But they still clamored to go back to the city that night, as if they were afraid of something. But the person in charge told them to wait until the rescue team arrived, after all, someone had to lead the way to move the body back. ”

"The next morning, after ten o'clock, the engineering team came to the villa, but they did not see the four people who remained in the villa. I thought they had gone up the mountain, so I followed them up the mountain to look for them, but they still couldn't find the four people until noon. ”

"It was also that morning that I received a call from Mr. Li, who told me in detail about the situation of the first team. At that time, I also felt that the situation was not good, so I asked Mr. Li to arrange a car to take me up the mountain. At one o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the villa with the driver Xiao Wang, and the second team had already returned from the mountain at this time, and happened to meet me. Immediately inquired about the situation, it was found out that the other four people were also missing. ”

"Combined with what Mr. Li said, I have a hunch that things are big here. Before entering the mountain in the afternoon, I gave each member of the search team a talisman lucky bag, and the driver, Xiao Wang, stayed at the villa and waited for us, and I set off into the mountain with a group of six of them to find the missing four people and the body. ”

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, the strange corpse was finally found, just like the report of the four men. This discovery unnerved the search party, and it was only after seeing the body with my own eyes that I was fully convinced that this strange thing had happened. We also found surveyors' tools and walkie-talkies inside the cave, but we didn't find clothes. ”

After collecting his belongings, everyone carried the body back to the villa on a stretcher. After returning to the villa, I immediately called Mr. Li to report the situation, and Mr. Li knew the particularity of the matter, so he asked me to handle it with full authority. I thought of the strange situation of this corpse, and decided not to rush to deal with it for now, so I asked people to find a long pot and save it with ice. After transporting the body back in the afternoon, he did not go into the mountain to look for it, and everyone knew in their hearts that most of the four people were more than lucky. ”

"But that's just the beginning! That night, I slept in a daze, and faintly heard the whirring wind outside the villa, and I thought it was a sea breeze. But at this moment, I heard a scream, this scream woke me up from my dream, I quickly got up, ran to the next room, only to find that the driver Xiao Wang fell by the window, his head was broken, I hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, fortunately just fainted, at this time the other five people heard the sound and also came to the room, seeing the situation in front of them did not make a sound. It didn't take long for them to offer to return to the city overnight, and no matter how much I tried to persuade them, they wouldn't listen. Master Huang shook his head and sighed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"When I came to the gate with them, the wind was still blowing, but they insisted on driving away. At that time, I had no choice but to ask them to bring Xiao Wang with me. As soon as they left, the electricity went out, and I began to feel scared, so I drew a talisman array overnight, pasted the whole room, and then fell asleep with peace of mind. The next morning, I used my mobile phone to inform Mr. Li of the situation last night, and then learned that the engineering team did not go back last night. In the afternoon, Mr. Li called and said that he had found the engineering team at the bottom of the mountain, and that they had overturned on the way back, and all five of them died. I then asked, what about the driver Xiao Wang? , but Mr. Li said that the driver, Xiao Wang, was not in the car. He also told me that the strong wind blew off the power line last night, which will already be repaired, and it should be repaired before dark. "Hearing this, I already have a lot of clarity about what happened, but these things are still far beyond my imagination," continued Master Huang on the side.

"It's hard to deal with the matter at this point, and Mr. Li told me that there will be a master from the mainland and let me wait for two days. He also said that if he could, he would try to solve this matter, and if he really couldn't hold on, he could let someone pick me up at any time. I thought about it a lot, and finally decided to stay here for now, at least until the master came. Master Huang looked at Master and said.

"So Master Huang has been here alone for two days, have you found any clues?" Master asked.

Master Huang groaned and said, "I guess someone has set up an evil array, but the past two nights have been normal, and nothing strange has happened. At this time, there was a car horn outside, and Master Huang stood up and said, "There is a village five kilometers away, and Mr. Li asked people to prepare the food and deliver it there, and it should be the person who delivered the food outside." As he spoke, he opened the door and walked out, and I saw that the sun outside had dimmed a lot, and it was getting dark.

Master Huang came in from the outside with two large lunch boxes in his hands. At this moment, the sound of a car engine starting, and then it faded away.

At this time, I noticed that the door of the villa was elastic and could close by itself when pushed open. Master Huang put the lunch box on the round table and opened it and said, "Come, everyone eats." "The rice delivered was very hearty, not to mention the common chicken, duck, pork, and a lot of seafood.

The food was still hot, and it seemed that it had been delivered not long after. After dinner, Master Huang took us to the second floor and said, "There are four rooms on this floor, the two on the west side are the kitchen and the servant's bedroom, and the east two are the utility room and the bathroom. On the second floor there are four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and balconies. On the third floor is a sunroom with swimming pool and a place to dry clothes. "This villa is so big and so many rooms.

Go to the second floor and find a room to live in. Master Huang said that no matter what movement you hear outside at night, don't get up, just don't hear anything, and shout loudly if something happens.

These bedrooms are also plastered with yellow charms, and I think Master Huang made them. The bedding on the bed has been changed, and I specifically asked Master Huang about this.

I sat on the bed and began to meditate, thinking to myself that no matter how complicated and difficult this mission was, it was necessary to improve my strength.

The next morning, I slowly opened my eyes. Outside, it was already bright, and the light was shining through the white curtains.

I stood up,

I opened the curtains on both sides, sat on the windowsill, and looked out from the wide window, under the morning light, the trees and vegetation were full of life, and from time to time there were birds coming in and out of them, and the mountains in the distance were connected, beautiful like a painting, as if nothing unfortunate had happened here.

I stood up and walked to the bathroom. After washing up, I returned to the windowsill and began to practice the Yin Yin in the Dream Refining Body, and after a day of practice, I already felt that I had mastered some tricks.

Half an hour later, I heard the door open, so I took it and walked out. The four of us still met in the hall, and after eating the breakfast that was served, Master proposed to go to the place where the body was found to have a look, and Master Huang agreed.

Leaving the villa, a group of four people walked along the main road to the mountain, and after walking far, the main road turned into a dirt road, a dirt road dug by an excavator.

After continuing for more than 500 meters, I saw a yellow excavator parked not far ahead, and the road ended here.

The next step is to weave through the woods, over a ridge and into a slightly flat mountain stream. As I continued to go deeper into the mountain stream, the dimmer the sun became, and I gradually felt a little cold.

Not long after, under the leadership of Master Huang, I came to a cave, the cave in front of me was not big, only the size of a person, and the entrance of the cave was half covered by vegetation.

After a short rest, Master looked at the surroundings, and I looked around. This is not the deepest part of the stream, just a fork of the stream, and the cave is only under a low cliff.

There are no streams in the streams, just small ponds scattered around. After the break, everyone was ready to go inside.

I took out the flashlight I had prepared in advance and turned it on, and Master Huang walked in front, followed by Master, Brother Zhang, and I.

There were four people crowded in the not spacious cave, and everyone walked slowly, carefully illuminating the cave walls.

The walls of the cave are smooth, with no edges and corners, and there are no traces of spider webs or bats. After about ten meters, I came to a slightly empty place that was two meters wide and more than four meters long.

"That's where he was found." Master Huang said. The center of the clearing is very flat, as if it has been washed by the current.

And this is not the end of this hole, although the hole is much narrower in front of it, it feels very deep when shining a flashlight into it.

After watching for a while, everyone exited the cave. Then we walked around the mountains again, returned to the villa at noon, and after lunch, everyone discussed the next plan.

"Master Sui, I went to see it today, did you find anything?"

"Although there is a little yin qi left in that cave, there are not many clues!" Master said.

"Oh! What did Master Sui find? Master Huang said unexpectedly.

"In the morning, I went to the room over there to carefully observe the corpse, the Qing Dynasty costume is not made of the current machine, but it does not look like it has been buried, there is no mold or decay on it, it should be artificially preserved. And the act of dressing the corpse has a kind of moral in detail. Or rather, the garment was originally worn on the corpse. Master Huang, have you ever summoned the spirits of these missing people? ”

"Yes, but it didn't work at all. I don't know if they're not dead, or if their souls have dissipated, or if they've been taken by something. Master Huang said with a frown.

"It looks like it's going to take a little more work to figure out what's going on. We came in a hurry and didn't bring enough equipment, so we had to call Mr. Li and ask him to prepare something for me. The Master groaned, then stood up, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed a number, put it to his ear and listened, and slowly walked out the door.

"What's your name, little brother?" Since I came here yesterday, everyone has been nervous, and they haven't had time to introduce themselves.

"My name is Fenglin, and I am my master when I am old." Then he glanced at Brother Zhang, who was sitting next to him, and said, "His name is Zhang Ye, Master's assistant." ”

"Oh! The old man Huang Wuyi, I am fortunate to be lucky. Master Huang said. Xu Yu asked again: "I think the little brother is also an extraordinary person, I don't know which immortal mountain he inherits?" I listened to his words and knew that what he wanted to ask was about my sect, but the master had to say first, "I... I don't know. It wasn't long before I joined the Master's door. At this time, Master walked in from outside, and Master Huang asked, "Master Sui, how is it?" ”

"Mr. Li agreed, and it will be delivered this afternoon. While it's okay now, let's rest and get busy when the things arrive. ”

"Master, then I'll go up first." I said. Brother Zhang didn't speak, but still sat there.

"Go, I'll go up and rest for a while, Master Huang, please take care of yourself." Master glanced at him, then followed me to the second floor.

I went back to my room, locked the door, and started practicing Shaoyin again, this time with the intention of practicing the vision in the five senses.

There are two wonderful uses to control vision with less yin. The first is to absorb the sights of the eyes into the realm of yin consciousness, and the second is to control the speed of movement of the sights seen by the eyes as the practice is deepened.

Although what you see can slow down, it is still difficult for you to react to the limit. Therefore, after practicing the Shaoyin Controlling Vision, the next step is the Less Yin Dominating Feeling.

For example, if a mosquito bites you, as long as the situation is right, your hand will quickly respond and shoot it, and most of the time it can kill the mosquito.

The first is to allow the body to withstand greater impact, because in the case of unconscious, the flexibility of the body can greatly reduce the impact damage.

The second is to make the body feel more controllable, the alternating frequency of the legs when running, the speed when punching, and even the beating and pain of the heart can be controlled.

I sat cross-legged on the bed, half-open eyes, looking out the window at the wind-blown leaves, slowly shaking.

In the half-awake and half-asleep room, it seemed that the speed of the leaf shaking slowed down, I was not in a hurry to concentrate, but looked at the leaf as if it were nothing, and the time passed little by little, and the leaf shook more and more slowly, slower and slower, until it stopped there, no longer shaking...

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the things that Master asked for were delivered. Half an hour later, Brother Zhang knocked on my door, and I knew in my heart that it was Master who had prepared something.

Now my Shaoyin Listening can already distinguish the movement around about 20 meters. Because it was getting dark, Brother Zhang and I went to the mountain, from the cave to the excavator, and scattered the white ash prepared by the master at random intervals, this powder can make the ghosts or animals walking on it leave a mark.

By the time we had finished spreading from the cave to the excavator, the sun had already set, and we scattered some of the remaining white ash on the dirt road back.

By the time I got back to the villa, it was completely dark. Not far away, the villa was lit up, and the white house looked like a ship floating on the sea in the dim woods.
