A while ago, continuous rain caused many landslides, and the road was difficult to drive, and I was thrown around in the car.

It's even harder to open after nightfall.

It took half an hour to walk ten miles.

Tonight's wind was particularly strong, with moisture in the wind and black smoke billowing out, eerie.

An old lady knelt on the side of the road, holding a large string of burning yellow paper money with her hands folded and kneeling three times, and then placed it in the brazier in front of her.

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged woman burning paper money.

Along the way, the sky was full of black and gray flying, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and candles.

I asked, "What is the day of the month?" ”

Li Changyu snorted coldly and didn't answer me.

The policeman who drove the car replied: "Today should be July 15," and I heard Li Changyu call him Xiaolin.

I said, "Chinese folklore says that July is the Ghost Month, and July 15 is the Ghost Festival, and it is also the day when the ghost gate is opened, and those ownerless and lonely souls will come up on this day to receive alms from the yang world......

Li Changyu shouted angrily: "Shut up." ”

I said, "I advise Mr. Policeman to borrow more incense from the villagers on the side of the road and put it in the front of the car. ”

Bang!

Li Changyu slammed a heavy fist on my face, and I twitched in pain, and he angrily grabbed my collar: "If you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will be unkind to you." ”

This temper tantrums.

If I had done it before, I would have him, whether he was a police officer or not.

But I've died once, and my mood has already changed.

smiled indifferently, looking a little light.

In Li Changyu's opinion, my expression is more like a god stick pretending to be a ghost.

The night wind in front of him whipped up a puff of smoke, and a brazier with paper money was placed in the middle of the road.

Officer Kobayashi, who was driving, hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

Boom!

The tires blew, and the car leaned inward, almost hitting the rocks on the inner road.

Officer Kobayashi scolded angrily: "Who is so lacking in virtue and puts the brazier in the middle of the road." ”

He raised his kick and kicked the brazier away.

I took the first step to remove the brazier, and Kobayashi kicked it into the air, and took the brazier to the side of the road and placed it.

Officer Kobayashi was annoyed and wanted to go up and make up for it.

I stretched out my hand to hold him and said, "Money opens the way, you kick it away, they can't receive the money, I'm afraid they will trouble you." ”

The voice did not fall.

Bang.

The brazier was kicked off.

I looked at it in amazement, Li Changyu withdrew the leg that kicked out, and glared at me fiercely: "Nonsense." ”

I raised my eyebrows speechlessly.

Changing into the spare tires, we are back on the road.

I secretly took out a piece of paper money that I picked up from the ground, folded the paper four times repeatedly, tore the four corners out of the arc, and then tore half of the middle, and then spread out the paper to form a humanoid paper figure.

Biting his finger, he wrote 'Li Changyu' on it with blood, and threw it out of the window.

When driving to Baotou Mountain, the fog became very heavy, and the headlights shone on the white expanse, and the visibility was probably only four or five meters away.

In such an environment, Officer Kobayashi could only drive slowly.

There was a sound of neat footsteps in the dark smoke, not one or two people, but dozens or hundreds of people.

It's like an army coming over.

My heart couldn't help but tighten, my eyes were fixed on the smoke, and I vaguely saw a human figure, and then it gradually became clear, and I was the first to see a man in a dark green military uniform.

On the military hat is the blue sky and white sun, and the two three-star poles on the shoulders are a colonel and regimental commander.

He was followed by hundreds of soldiers.

The appearance of the army is neat, the pace is neat, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Yin Soldier!

Looks like he's on a mission.

But they don't know that the war has been fought for more than 50 years, and they will only walk forever on the road to the mission.

Forever!

My eyes were drawn to the Zhongzheng sword in the hand of the regimental commander who walked at the front.

The blade of the sword emitted a faint green light.

This is an officer who regards glory more than life, and it is this Zhongzheng sword that symbolizes glory that keeps their ghosts and becomes yin soldiers.

It's like when a person dies, he becomes a ghost if he has a grudge.

Officer Kobayashi scolded: "This damn weather, why is it so foggy." ”

As the Yin soldiers approached, the fog naturally increased.

I said: "This is Baotou Mountain, it used to be a strategic highland, and there was a big battle here during the anti-Japanese war, and many people died......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Changyu interjected: "What nonsense do you want to say again." ”

I could only keep my mouth shut.

As the Yin soldiers walked away, the fog began to thin out, and the visibility increased.

Opened the bun hill without incident.

Officer Xiaolin said: "Boy, let me tell you, our police are very angry, even if there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, they have to hide far away." ”

I smiled faintly and asked, "Officer, do you have any cigarettes?" ”

No smoker skimps on a few cigarettes.

He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and held it over his shoulder, and I reached out to take it.

It is Bao Lanbao Mountain.

This cigarette costs six yuan a pack, which is not good, nor bad, and is in line with the identity of the police.

He pulled out a dot and respectfully inserted it into the gap in the window.

The cigarette butt was blown red by the wind.

Then I ordered another one and smoked it with a flavorful taste.

Officer Kobayashi said: "What does this mean, do you worship ghosts and gods?" After saying that, he shook his head mockingly and smiled.

After Baotou Mountain, there is a highway leading to Xichuan.

The highway is newly built, and it cuts through a kilometer-long cave that leads straight to the city of Nishikawa.

I asked, "Did you ask someone to do Dharma when the highway was opened?" ”

Officer Kobayashi said, "Of course not, what do you want to say?" ”

I said, "If you move to a new house or change your phone number, will you tell your friends?" ”

Officer Kobayashi said, "Of course I will, otherwise how can I find my friend......" He stopped halfway through, probably understanding what I meant.

Li Changyu interjected: "Clean nonsense. ”

As he spoke, he motioned Officer Kobayashi to drive the car into the rest area, the car was running out of fuel and had to be refueled, and he was hungry all the way away.

I went into a store and bought three bowls of instant noodles, one for me.

Although Li Changyu's temper is a little violent, he is not a bad person, so he will not deliberately starve me, and the money for instant noodles is still from him.

I asked the proprietress of the commissary, "Do you have any red candles here?" ”

There is definitely no such thing as red candles for sale, and there are also white candles, but today is special.

I asked for four.

After getting back on the road, I said to Officer Kobayashi, "Stop the car at the tunnel entrance and I'll do something." ”

I bought a red candle just now, and Li Changyu and Officer Kobayashi also saw it.

Officer Kobayashi said, "What the hell are you going to do?" ”

I said, "It won't be too long." ”

Officer Kobayashi said, "It's okay to park, but you have to explain what you know about Minghualiu Village." ”

I nodded in agreement.

The car stopped ten meters from the tunnel entrance.

I took two red candles and got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the cave.

Li Changyu and Officer Kobayashi also got out of the car, and one of them lit a cigarette and leaned on the body, watching my movements.

I placed a red candle on the left and right sides of the tunnel entrance, lit it with a lighter, and muttered a spell in my mouth.

This spell was taught to me by a blind man.

The scene of shouting on the bridge that night seems to have happened yesterday.

According to the second uncle, the blind man and his funeral party came to the door by themselves, and said that these people had noses more intelligent than dogs, and they appeared wherever they died.

It's suspicious to think about it now.

After that, I got back to the car and continued on my way.

I said, "Stop again at the exit of the tunnel." ”

Officer Kobayashi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you mean by putting two candles at the mouth of the tunnel?" ”

I replied, "Guiding lights." ”

Li Changyu said very unhappily: "Pretending to be a ghost." ”

The one-kilometer-long cave is not short, but the car can walk in a few words, and the words will be there before the words fall.

I got out of the car again, placed a red candle on the left and right sides of the exit of the cave tunnel, and lit it with a lighter.

The candle flame has just been lit.

A gust of wind blew out of the tunnel, and there were many deep thank you voices in the wind, men and women, old and young, all of whom were ownerless and lonely souls lost on this new road.

If you don't show them the way, they'll be stuck in a cave tunnel forever and can't get out.

Over time, the tunnel will be prone to car accidents.

After getting back on the road.

Li Changyu said: "How about it, now you can talk about it." ”

I nodded, sorted out my thoughts and said, "I grew up in Minghualiu Village, my home, my parents are all there, and now that something has happened, I am more sad than anyone else." My home is gone, and my parents are gone. ”

Speaking of this, my heart felt a pang.

Li Changyu and Officer Kobayashi were also slightly moved, and one of them smoked a cigarette.

The atmosphere became a little depressing.

I needed to make up a lie that they could accept: "The master was hit and killed on the side of the road for no reason, and my mother was afraid that I would be implicated, so she sent me away overnight." ”

Li Changyu said: "Why are you afraid of being implicated." ”

I said, "My mother lied that day, but in fact, I went back to the village with my master at half past four, but you said that my master died between three and four o'clock. ”

Li Changyu's face showed an extremely shocked expression, and he shouted: "Impossible. ”

At that time, he witnessed the whole process of measuring the liver temperature.

There can be no mistake.

I said flatly: "It was precisely because it was impossible that I didn't dare to tell the police, and my mother was afraid that this matter would affect me, so she sent me away overnight." ”

Li Changyu asked, "You are telling the truth. ”

I asked rhetorically, "Do you think I need to lie to you at this point?" ”

This case is like a nightmare, and it has been tormenting Li Changyu for four years.

He was a staunch atheist, and he believed that all the strange forces were ghosts.

But the case made him question his beliefs, and overnight, more than 300 people suddenly disappeared, and who could do it.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

I continued, "I want to know more than you do, what's going on?" ”

Half-truths are the hardest to distinguish.

Li Changyu said: "Then where have you been all these years?" ”

I said, "I've been fooling around with an old Taoist priest for four years, and he died a while ago, I think the case has been going on for so long, so I went back to my hometown, but I didn't expect ......."

Officer Kobayashi said, "No wonder you're full of gods, ghosts." ”
