Chapter Seventy-Nine: At Sea

I hesitated for a moment, then made up my mind to burn it. I folded my hands and prayed silently, this unjust deceased, there is no wonder, I am to pursue the truth and rehabilitate you. After a while, I took out the lighter, covered the flame with my hand, and slowly approached the corpse hand.

As soon as I got closer, things became strange, the flame of the lighter, which was originally dark red, suddenly turned blue, and the center of the flame was a little dark green, and an evil wind blew, and the flame whirred and flashed.

I held my breath and put the flame in the corpse's hand. The hand ignited slightly when it saw the fire, and the faint blue flames burned along the edge of the palm. The whole hand resembles a strange candle.

I closed my eyes, and since I was listening, I naturally wanted to listen. Tilting my ears slightly, I heard a very unusual sound, how to describe it, a bit like the resonance sound made by striking a bronze vessel.

Wang Shenxian has a bronze chime in his house, I heard this special bronze when I was in his house, the wooden mallet rubbing the copper chime, can make it have a deep and distant resonance, "buzzing" sound endlessly.

That's what I heard right now.

The sound was so far away from me that I couldn't help but stand up with my eyes closed and follow the sound out. After climbing more than a meter up the dirt slope, the sound was suddenly inaudible.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark all around, and I was standing in the living room of the ruined villa. I was stunned for a long time, like a dream. In fact, it only takes a minute to hear this voice and disappear, but it can make people forget everything far away.

I closed my eyes again and listened again, but I couldn't hear anything. I thought about it for a moment and went back to the bottom of the pit from the dirt slope.

The corpse hand was still burning with blue flames, and I closed my eyes again, and the sound of "buzzing" appeared again, this time more subtle, but it was real, and the source of the sound was far away.

I suddenly understood that rhino hearing actually has a range, and I must keep a certain distance from the flames to hear strange sounds. At this moment, the flames on the corpse's hand are at the bottom of the pit, and I climbed the dirt slope just now, and I exceeded a certain distance, so naturally I couldn't hear it.

I recall that when I was in Songyuan, I used to use rhinoceros to locate the Eight Immortal Caves. Comparing these two rhino hearings with each other, some rules can be summarized.

First, the sound is not produced by a burning corpse, which allows you to hear the sound without itself being the source of the sound.

Second, the sound changes depending on the sound source. Last time in the Eight Immortals Cave, its sound was similar to the sound of air currents and wind produced by propellers. And the sound heard this time is similar to the resonance of bronze.

I couldn't imagine what it was that would make such a noise.

In order to find the source of the sound, the prerequisite is that I move towards the source of the sound with a corpse that can be heard. In other words, the most reliable way at present is to find a knife and chop off this corpse hand with one knife!

Of course I can't do that.

I thought about it for a moment and continued to dig with a pickaxe, the harder it became. After shaving for a while, the edge of the palm hurt terribly, and the cocoon came out. But I also achieved my goal, digging out a large clump of hair. I used a Swiss blade that was fastened to my wrist, cut this hair, held it in my hand, and lit it with a lighter.

The hair is very greasy, and it shines when it sees fire. I closed my eyes, and sure enough, the "buzzing" sound came back to my ears. I followed the sound and climbed up from the bottom of the pit, not daring to open my eyes, just listening, and then stretched out my hand in front of me, and explored the way forward little by little.

The sound similar to the resonance of the copper chime is a bit magical, as long as you listen to this voice, you can't afford any other thoughts, and it occupies the whole mind, and it seems that the whole brain resonates.

I walked forward in such a daze, I don't know how far I walked, my hand suddenly touched the cold plane, and I immediately realized that it was glass.

When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and through the window, I could see the waves rising and falling in the distance. At this moment, the moon is hidden, and the sky is faintly white, which is the rhythm of dawn.

It is now almost certain that the strange sound that appeared in the rhinoceros heard came from the sea, and it is not known exactly where it is. Through the window, I stared at the sea level in the distance, the white of the morning sun sprinkled on the sea, half black and half white, revealing an indescribable depth and mystery.

I was fascinated by it, and suddenly someone behind me said, "What are you doing?" ”

I snorted, and when I looked back, Wang Erdonkey woke up. He looked at me in surprise, and I quickly threw away the hair in my hand, and the large mass of hair was already burned to the point that there was not much left, but I still let Wang Erdonkey see it.

He wondered, "Are you in the pit?" ”

I nodded. He came to the edge of the pit and looked down with a flashlight, and the light fell on the corpse's hand at the bottom of the pit. "How, what did you find?" He asked.

I didn't speak, hesitating to tell him.

Wang Erdonkey looked back at me: "Lao Feng, haven't we been chatting properly for a while?" ”

"Hehe, how do you say that?" I laugh.

Wang Erdonkey said: "I feel that you have changed now, how good our buddies were in the past, is it that I can't do anything in place?" Don't have two hearts between the two of us, if the two of us have mustard, it will be boring. ”

"Can I say something from my heart, then?" I walked over to him.

"Say!" Wang Erdonkey said with a big grin: "In the past, you were not afraid of heaven and earth, and you took us to peek at the widows in the village bathing, why are you scared now." ”

"It's hard for me not to have a problem with what you've done," I said, "and it's time for you to go out with your grandfather to see so many things, but you've let me down so much that you've made a mess of the whole thing for the sake of your own reputation." ”

"Well, it's my fault, I apologize to you." Wang Erdonkey said.

"Don't apologize to me, you're not sorry for me. Your actions today are very likely to have greatly hurt Jiang Hong and his family, and now his wife's life and death are still unknown in the hospital, and one of his ears was bitten off by his own son. I said.

Wang Erdonkey hurriedly said, "You don't deny my achievements. Without me pretending to be a ghost, this pit can be seen by us? Will you know the secret here? People have already asked for another master. By the way, what the hell did you find? ”

I made a gesture for him to come with me.

We went down the dirt slope to the bottom of the pit, and I said to the ground, "It's your turn, use your pickaxe to dig out your hair." ”

Wang Erdonkey spat at the palm of his hand, picked up the pickaxe and started to do it. After planing for about ten minutes, a large clump of hair was scraped. I cut off my hair with a knife, lit it with a lighter, and handed it to him: "Take it." ”

Wang Erdonkey was extremely suspicious, and it was difficult to say anything, so he took it. I told him to close his eyes and listen.

"What the hell are you doing?" He couldn't help but say.

"Let you listen to it, so much nonsense." I say.

Wang Er Donkey held the burning hair and closed his eyes: "Okay, I'm closed, what's wrong." ”

"Did you hear any strange sounds?" I asked.

Wang Erdonkey listened to it for about ten seconds, bared his teeth and said, "There are indeed strange sounds. ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"Fart. I just farted. Wang Erdonkey opened his eyes and smiled.

I was annoyed: "Who the is kidding you." I snatched my hair and closed my eyes to listen, and in the dark, the sound of bronze resonance appeared in my ears, far, far away. Judging by the direction, it is indeed from the distant sea.

Cheng Hai's voice sounded in his mind: "Little golden boy, Wang Shisheng, he can't hear this voice." ”

"Why?" I asked in my mind.

"He has not yet been enlightened by the old fairy, although he has some talent, he is still an ordinary man. The facial features are occluded, and the spiritual sense is not opened. It didn't work for him. Cheng Hai said.

I opened my eyes, and Wang Erdonkey looked at me: "Did you hear that?" ”

I nodded, starting from the Jilin Ghost Hall, and talked about their special method of disposing of corpses, the so-called "kun" corpses. They used corpses to do rhino hearing, to hear special sounds of nature.

"Then why can't I hear it?" He asked, stunned.

I looked at him: "You haven't opened your mind yet, your mind has not yet opened, let's put it this way, you are still hanging outside the threshold, you haven't entered the door at all, and you are not even qualified to play in the qualifying round." ”

Wang Erdonkey said: "I let my baby grandfather be pitted." How many times did I mention inheriting the cousin, and asked the old fairy in the family to enlighten me, but the old man just didn't let me, saying that I was tender and hairy. How's that, who knew that his old man suddenly had a stroke, and he was deflated. ”

He grumbled and asked me what I had heard.

I described the sound of the resonance of the bronze in detail, and Wang Erdonkey listened to it with his mouth open, and he couldn't touch his teeth when he threw a donkey dung egg into it.

"So, the sound is coming from the sea?" He blinked.

"Well, yes, it should be." I nodded.

"Is there something at sea?" He muttered, "It turns out that the people of the Ghost Hall made a mass grave here to find the secrets of the sea. ”

"Now I have a question," I said, "I think it's enough to hear a corpse, why is this a mass grave?" How many bones are there? ”

"I don't understand." Wang Erdonkey said: "Maybe there is a problem with the source of the sound, and it takes a lot of corpses to locate it." If you think about it, that place may be far away at sea, and one corpse is not enough to burn, so you can only find that place after burning a second corpse, one after another. ”

Wang Erdonkey, not to mention that he still has a bit of a brain, the speculation he put forward is very logical.

As we were talking, we suddenly heard the sound of parking outside the villa, and the car stopped in a hurry, hurried over, and then braked suddenly.

He and I looked at each other and quickly crawled out of the bottom of the pit. We came to the door and looked through the window.

There was a sports car parked at the gate of the villa, and two people got out of the car, and in front of them was a girl, it was Ding Dang. He was followed by a middle-aged man with white hair, who was none other than Xie Luo, whom Ding Dang called his uncle.
