Chapter 287: Strange Pit

Now that the situation is urgent, we really can't think of a better way to do it than my cousin, and besides, the current situation is quite grim, and we can't afford to hesitate any longer.

Just do what my cousin says!

It was already dawn, and my cousin asked a few of us to squint for a while, and when the sun came out after dawn, we took this pot of flowers and started moving.

As soon as we relaxed a little, we felt our eyelids fight, so we lay on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept this night, when I was woken up by Sister Li, it was early in the morning, a ray of sunlight came in through the window, my cousin had already made breakfast, a few of us washed our faces, and soon finished breakfast, we didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately started to act.

The weather is really nice today, the sun is shining, because it is the weekend, and there are many middle-aged and elderly people who get up early and exercise in the morning, and there are not many young people.

A few of us walked on the sunlit street, Xiao Lei held the pot of flowers, and began to search with anxiety.

Whether my cousin's method will work or not, we really don't know in our hearts. But if this is really done by a blind man, and we can't crack it, as my cousin said, not only do we face greater dangers, but for Feng Shui masters, it is even more a matter of life and death. So every one of us was nervous.

Because Hongmei has a deep knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and a deeper understanding of yin and yang qi than a few of us, when searching, she said that the location of the "yin qi source" should have the following characteristics:

The first is "off the beaten track" - that is, it can't be a crowded place.

The human body of a living person is mainly "positive", so where there are many people, it must be a place where yang energy is strong, so it clashes with the negative energy of the "yin energy source".

In addition, it should be a cold and secluded place where sunlight is not seen all year round - sunlight and fire are the "most yang" things in the world, so the place where the "yin source" is located must be a place where sunlight can hardly reach.

Based on these characteristics summarized by Hongmei, we discussed them for a while and agreed that there was a nearby spot that best matched these characteristics, and that place had a strange name - "rotten egg pit".

In our small city, in addition to the mountain behind the county seat (that is, the mountain where the sound of ancient battlefield fighting will appear when there is thunder), the other strangest place is this "rotten egg pit".

Not far from my cousin's house, there is a war relics park of the Japanese army that invaded China, which was the station of the Japanese army at that time, and many anti-Japanese soldiers were killed by the Japanese army there. And the "rotten egg pit" is in this heritage park.

Why is it called the "rotten egg pit"? The name still has some origins.

Most of this heritage park is covered with large trees that shade the sky, and only in the very center is there a pit about a meter below the ground.

The pit is very strange: it is a regular circle, and it forever gives off the smell of rotten eggs.

At first, the relevant departments were very worried and suspected that they were chemical weapons left behind by the Japanese army, so they organized relevant experts and conducted rigorous research. However, after in-depth excavation and measurement with various instruments, no harmful substances were found.

But the smell of rotten eggs is still there, and it is stronger than the original, what is this smell? The experts first thought of sulfur dioxide, but after measurement, they found that it was not, as for what exactly is the substance that emits this rotten egg smell, even if the most advanced international equipment is used, it is still not clear in the end.

What's even more strange is that this pit can't be filled in no matter how it is filled, even if it is temporarily filled as flat as the ground, as long as a heavy rain passes, the round pit one meter below the ground will immediately appear again, and it will be exactly the same as before.

People in our small county know this strange pit.

Some say that there are countless bones of unjust souls in this pit, and these unjust souls have become a earth-eating monster, which is very large and terrifying, and is exactly the same color as the earth. A local feng shui master said that at the time of the spring equinox, when the earth qi is surging, if you stand on the edge of the pit and look closely, you can vaguely see the head of this monster.

But except for this feng shui gentleman, no one has ever seen this scene.

Others say that this pit actually leads to the underworld, and that the unjust spirits often pass through it, so it always has to keep some markings—such as special smells, special shapes, etc.—so that the unjust spirits can easily find it.

Of course, despite these legends, people feel that the "rotten egg pit" is not a good place, and as such, few people go there.

Originally, there were fewer people going to the site park, and even fewer people went to the "rotten egg pit", which seems to coincide with the characteristics summarized by Hongmei.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the heritage park.

Before, except for Sister Li, none of us had ever come in, but now once I entered this park, I immediately found that it was much larger than I imagined, and it felt like entering a forest, with towering trees, covering the sky and the sun, and there was no road inside, and the vines and roses were staggered, and the plants and trees were flourishing.

To our surprise, the pot of flowers in Xiao Lei's hand is very sensitive to the position of the sun, even in the shade of the tree, that part of it can still accurately point to the sun, and no matter how the position is changed, no matter how the wind blows, the strange part of the flower will always point to the direction of the sun, really like a compass, always pointing north and south, just like being dragged by something.

In this heritage park, except for a few old people in the small square at the entrance, there is no one inside, and once we get into the woods, it is as if we have entered the primeval forest.

As we walked inside, Sister Li introduced to us, saying that in the past, there were seven or eight pairs of men and women who came here to cheat, all of whom died inexplicably, although the relevant departments did their best to investigate, but neither caught the murderer, nor found a specific reason, so even if they like to find no one to cheat on men and women, they dare not come here again.

Sister Li's words made my back chill for a while, it seems that this place is indeed a "fierce place", Xiao Lei also reminded us to be vigilant, the more we face this unknowable danger, the more we must tense our nerves and be ready to respond at any time.

In the dense woods, we walked with difficulty, and after about half an hour, we gradually saw a bright open area in front of us, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of rotten eggs, gradually wafting over. We know that it's time for that "rotten egg pit".

Suddenly, Xiao Lei shouted excitedly: "Look, the part of the flower doesn't point to the sun." ”

A few of us hurried over, and sure enough, the man-like part of the flower had begun to shake slightly from side to side, up and down, instead of pointing motionlessly in the direction of the sun.

"That 'Yin Qi Source', that 'Headless Living Thing', must be here, fortunately it was Hongmei who reminded us, I didn't expect us to find it all at once", Sister Li's excited face turned a little red.

Not only Sister Li, this heavy breakthrough has made all of us feel refreshed. It's a pity that my cousin didn't come with him, otherwise he would have been happy.

But Xiao Lei reminded everyone to stay calm, because the "Yin Qi Source" has not yet been finally found, which is the most important thing. Xiao Lei is right, and this place is also full of weirdness, we must not be carried away by temporary victories because of a breakthrough.

We all tried to calm our feelings, carefully walked through a thorn, and finally came to the "rotten egg pit".

This pit is almost a regular circle, as the legend goes, and the deepest part is about a meter lower than the ground, and the soil layer above is a little black and soft, as if it can be sunk as long as you step on it.

We looked at the flowers in the pot, and saw that the part of the flower was swinging back and forth violently, and I suddenly had a strange feeling: this pot of flowers was not a plant at all, but more like an animal, and it seemed to have been hurt by something, and was writhing in pain.

Does this mean that the "Yin Qi Source" is in this pit?

We circled around this large crater, which has a diameter of more than ten meters, and walked around a few times. But nothing out of the ordinary? Could it be that the "living things without heads" are buried in a pit and cannot be seen from the surface?

But we didn't dare to venture into this pit, so what should we do next, after a brief discussion, we decided to call our cousin.

But when we reported the situation to my cousin and asked for his opinion, he first nervously ordered: "Don't go into that pit"

Then I thought about it for about a minute before I said, "Come back right away, and I'll think about what to do next."

I was a little surprised to hear that my cousin told us to go back immediately, but after hearing what he said so well, we no longer hesitated and began to go back.

When we got back to my cousin's house, we learned about his next move, which was to start his action again at midnight. Why wait until midnight?

My cousin felt that the kind of "headless creatures" should only appear at midnight. As the compiler of our county chronicle, my cousin is of course more familiar with and aware of the pit than ordinary people, and he also understands the danger of the pit better.

Many years ago, my cousin had heard a strange thing about that pit, and it was about twenty years ago.

There is a Japanese military doctor, after the surrender of Japan, did not return to Japan, but stayed in this small county town to practice medicine, and his medical skills and medical ethics are very good, within a radius of several hundred miles, when encountering incurable diseases, he will be found for diagnosis and treatment.

But this Japanese military doctor has a very strange temper, although he is fluent in Chinese, but except for the practice of medicine, he does not have in-depth contact with anyone, and, almost every evening, he will go to the "rotten egg pit" to sit for a while, no one knows why he did it.

This strange behavior lasted for an unknown number of years, until on a heavy rainy day, it ended strangely in a way that no one expected.
