In the middle of the stone figure is placed a neatly cut rectangular stone slab, about eight meters long, two meters wide, and more than a foot thick, the whole body is white and without variegation, and it is impossible to see what kind of stone it is.

The most incredible thing is that a skeleton is firmly bound to the slate with nine rusty heavy chains.

The bones were already highly decomposed, dark in color, hairless, and the clothes on their bodies were so badly weathered that they were largely untraceable. But judging by his height of nearly nine feet, the deceased may have been male, and as for the cause of death, Chen Tongsheng was even more dumbfounded: a large long nail with the thickness of a thumb pierced through his head and nailed the deceased's head to the stone slab alive.

Chen Tongsheng squatted and observed for a while, and Wang Ziheng had already walked to the bones.

"What a sin is this, to kill people like this?" Wang Ziheng stared at the open jaws of the corpse, only to feel the hairs stand on end.

"Ziheng, what do you think is in this comrade brother's seven holes?" Chen Tongsheng said.

Wang Ziheng moved the light of the mobile phone to the head of the corpse, did not dare to get too close, looked at it from a distance, and found that the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the corpse were each stuffed with a copper coin.

Chen Tongsheng patted the big chain and big spikes on the corpse with his hand, and said, "Look at what material this is?" ”

Wang Ziheng observed as he said, but saw that the rust was green: "It's bronze!" ”

Chen Tongsheng stood up from the ground, clapped his hands, smacked his lips and said, "It seems that this comrade brother is not simple!" ”

Wang Ziheng has always admired Chen Tongsheng's insight, so he asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Chen Tongsheng took out half a pack of badly twisted cigarettes from his trouser pocket, found that they had already been drenched by the rain, and threw them on the ground in frustration. Wang Ziheng hurriedly rummaged through his own, but fortunately there was still one left that was not drenched, he pouted it into two, and handed half of it to Chen Tongsheng: "It's going to be!" ”

The two lit cigarettes and felt much more relaxed.

Regarding why men love to smoke, Wang Ziheng has his own set of theories.

In general, it is generally believed that cigarettes have the following functions: first, to relieve loneliness, secondly, to facilitate socialization, and finally to relieve mood.

But Wang Ziheng doesn't think so, he thinks that there are three types of men who smoke:

The first is the boring idlers who don't know why or how to smoke but want to smoke, such as the streetwear forced to play cool Kill Matt and the non-mainstream. They don't even inhale and exhale cigarettes in a standardized manner, and their smoking is purely unexplained and perfunctory.

The second type is the pathetic people who have grown up in an environment of "education" for a long time, who, when they pick up a cigarette, think that all their worries and entertainment can be solved by it, but in fact, it can solve nothing. Wang Ziheng undoubtedly belongs to this list.

As for the third type of man, the reason for smoking may not be clear, maybe it is because he likes sparks, or maybe he just wants to burn, to find warmth in the process of swallowing clouds, or to see relief.

In the smoke, Chen Tongsheng began to explain slowly: "In February last year, oh, by the way, you didn't enter the stage at that time. We went to a village on the border of Hunan and Guizhou to record a program about a funeral custom. Xiangxi you know, the corpse is very famous, and our Qiandong region is close to Xiangxi, and there are many evil things. ”

"Is that the episode of 'Fanjing Red Coffin'?" In Wang Ziheng's impression, this is the highest quality of all the "Yelang Strange Tan" series, and he is stunned to make a series of ghost stories into a pseudo-documentary.

"Hmm. During the recording, the old people in the village told us a lot of unpopular knowledge, and we laughed it off at the time, but I didn't expect to meet it today!

"The old people say that after the death of ordinary people, the 'qi' leaves the body, and the corpse becomes a lifeless skin, which seems to be a little scary, but it is not terrible at all. But some people are different, they shuttled yin and yang during their lifetime, had insight into heaven and earth, and had great abilities, so after they died, most of them were unwilling, and they were able to recollect the lost 'qi' back into their bodies, turning into immortal zombies, making waves, and few people could cure them. This so-called 'qi' should be the soul we often talk about, of course, it is not entirely accurate, these things are very mysterious, and it is difficult for non-experts to explain clearly.

"But the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and the masters can still come up with a way to strike first: once the corpse gathers 'qi' and the corpse has not yet formed a climate, they will seal their seven orifices with copper coins. The 'qi' that has left the body is yin, and the copper coin is gold, and gold is yang. In this way, the copper coin trapped the 'qi' in the corpse's body and devoured it little by little until it disappeared, and the corpse would not become a zombie after all. ”

Wang Ziheng was stunned when he heard it: "Director Chen, the show belongs to the show, we still have to believe in science!" ”

Chen Tongsheng said with a smile: "Let's just listen to it as a joke!" Look at the comrade in front of us, not only nailed to death with copper nails, sealed with copper coins with seven holes, but also tied with nine big copper chains, and the five big men around him stayed up and stared at him all night, if he wasn't a powerful master, could he enjoy this treatment? Maybe he was able to do anything when he was alive! ”

Wang Ziheng waved his hand and said, "Your sense of humor is useless. The dead are greater, so let's show some respect. ”

Chen Tongsheng "cut" disdainfully and said: "At least one thing we have to admit is that this person must have been very jealous in his life!" Forget it, there's nothing to see, let's find the village chief again! ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, but as soon as he took a step, an incomparably poignant sneer suddenly sounded in the stone hall, coming from nowhere, extremely harsh and full of resentment.

The two of them were shocked and stood on the spot. Chen Tongsheng paused and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Except for the echo and the sound of running water, only the clear and audible heartbeats of two people remained.

Wang Ziheng trembled and said, "I told you not to talk nonsense." ”

Chen Tongsheng hurriedly made a gesture of silence, and then there was a sound of "rumbling and rumbling" in the stone hall, as if water was being boiled. This time, both of them heard it clearly, and the sound came from the deep pool under the spring.

Wang Ziheng pointed his mobile phone at the deep pool, and two heads emerged from the dark and secluded pool.
