When Guo and I walked to the place where the bus fell off the cliff that day, it was already dark.

As I said before, Futu Ridge is surrounded by mountains, and the surrounding hills are rolling and wooded, so every night the mountain road is full of shadows, dark and scary, if a wild cat or hare suddenly pops out of the grass, no matter how bold people will be scared to call their mothers. Especially in the villages around the mountains, the moonlight can't shine at all at night, but our Mingyue Village is different, Mingyue Village is in the middle of Futu Ridge, except for cloudy nights, it will be very dark, and the rest of the time is bright moon.

There is a winding mountain road leading to the county seat at the location of the mountain behind Mingyue Village, and there is a large open space below, which was originally the ancestral tomb of Futuling Shili Eight Villages, but the leaders of the county ordered to level the ancestral grave a few decades ago, and wanted to open up the road here and build the township station of Futuling.

The people of Futuling are not happy, they think that it is taboo for the ancestral grave to be dug up, and if the bones of the ancestors are dug out, it will have a great impact on the descendants.

But at that time, it had just ended, and the theory of feng shui was one of the things that was cracked down on in the movement to break the four olds, and now the revolution is over, but the shadow in everyone's hearts is still there, and no one dares to persuade the county leaders, for fear that they will be beaten into villains by accident.

In the end, the village chiefs summed up together, and after all, they recognized it, saying that they would let the construction team from the county dig it, and everyone was so sad that they couldn't eat, how bad could they be?

It doesn't matter if the villagers let go of the construction team to dig like this, they really dug up something strange.

First of all, the people of the construction team had a collective fever, and then they dreamed that a woman wearing a cheongsam of the Republic of China stood on the hill and watched them.

The next morning, after waking up, several migrant workers exchanged ideas, saying that last night a woman in a red cheongsam stood on the hill and watched them all night, without speaking or moving, until the rooster crowed, and several migrant workers were so frightened that they ran away on the spot.

The leader of the construction team reported this incident to the county leaders, but the county leaders did not believe it, so they personally went to Futuling to check and supervise, and ordered that all the graves on the vacant land must be dug up and the mountain road must be opened.

At night, the county leaders also lived in the back mountain, and the migrant workers thought to themselves that the county leaders were big officials, and all the people who were rich and noble naturally had an aura of inviolability, and there would be no problems with him, and if the county leaders also dreamed of the woman in red, they would definitely be scared to quit.

Unexpectedly, none of the migrant workers dreamed of the woman in red that night, but strange things happened the next morning.

The county leaders are gone.

Everyone thought that the county leader had secretly run away at night, but when they arrived on the winding mountain road, they found that his car was still parked there, so everyone looked around and looked for someone who they didn't find for a long time. When everyone was at a loss whether to continue the construction, a lame man appeared, saying that he knew where the county leader was, but he was probably dead at this time.

At that time, if the county leader died, it was a big deal, and there were so many people in the construction team who died under the noses of a big official, and no one could afford to pay this responsibility, so everyone anxiously asked where the lame county leader was, and begged him to help find someone.

The cripple hesitated for a moment, pointed to the north of Futu Ridge and said, in the forest to the north.

As soon as everyone heard that the county leader ran into the deserted forest north of the mountain forest, they didn't hurry to find it, but the lame man's words made everyone stand still, and he said that no one who went in could come out alive.

A group of people were scared into a cold sweat, they didn't have heard of the strange things about Futu Ling, in the past, Futu Ling also had a name called Forbidden Ridge, from ancient times to the present, Futu Ling died of people, and the official of the public never dared to come to investigate, for fear of provoking some evil.

The person in charge of the construction team saw that this cripple was not an ordinary person, so he begged him to get the county leaders out, otherwise they would all be responsible, the cripple nodded and agreed, he sighed and said, if it weren't for the county leaders who took care of him during the four old years and let him pick up a life, he wouldn't care about this matter.

Needless to say, this legendary cripple is also known to everyone as the feng shui gentleman Huang Cripple of Dawa Village, who promised to find someone, but did not move, but let people find a big rooster, put blood in front of everyone and sprinkled it on the ground, spread a layer of realgar around it, and planted hundreds of lit sandalwood sticks on it.

The smoke of sandalwood is also strange, and it actually drifted directly into the forest north of Futu Ridge. No one knew what the yellow cripple was doing, but it didn't take long for the county leader to come out of the woods on his own.

The county leader has been looking sluggish since he came out of the woods, his body is full of disgusting slime, and he will not answer no matter how much he calls him. A group of people dragged the county leaders to the hospital, and the doctor told them that they had gone crazy.

Now after all these years, he is still crazy, and if someone asks him what happened back then, he will only say one word, snake.

Therefore, it is rumored that the project of digging the mountain and building the road in Futu Ridge has alarmed the snake lady who has achieved cultivation in the mountain, and then no leader will think about moving Futu Ridge again, it is a thankless thing, they will definitely lose money to build the road to the mountain, and if they don't get it right, they will make a fuss, who will care about this errand?

In the following decades, Futuling was uneventful, and the villagers in Houshan moved their ancestral graves one after another because of the haunting, and the winding mountain road was only half repaired before it was forced to be completed, and a road down the mountain was hastily paved for the county buses to drive.

As for the open space under the cliff mouth of the winding mountain road, it has become a wasteland because no one has set foot on it all year round, and the weeds in it are already taller than people.

This is the scene of the crime where the bus fell off the cliff, the overly tall weeds on the wasteland have been dealt with by the police who came to investigate and collect evidence, there is a small road leading to the inside, and we have not taken a few steps before our vision becomes wider, because the weeds inside have been burned bare because of the explosion of the bus.

Amid the ashes and gravel, a bus, twisted and broken, lay inside, surrounded by traces of being trampled on.

"The bodies here have been dragged away by the police, what else can we find?" I looked at the blind man Guo who was watching left and right and said.

Guo Blind said: "I didn't take you to check these dead people, but to check the feng shui and terrain here, think about it, if Zhou Manman is a ghost, why only she will become a ghost, but the others have not?" ”

I frowned and said, "I've heard that if people are too angry before they die, they will become ghosts after death. ”

Guo Blind laughed and said: "Ghosts are much more powerful than people, if they will turn into ghosts just because they have grievances before they die, how many people would want to become ghosts?" How many of the hundreds of millions of people who died during the war had to be turned into ghosts? Can the human world still be called the human world? ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, Guo Blind continued: "The reason why people become ghosts is that resentment is insignificant, what matters is where they die, or what they have around them when they die. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, puzzled.

Guo Blind replied: "The earth's veins, mountains and rivers, rivers and seas, Tibetan yin and yang, creating all things, the theory of feng shui has been studied and inherited by many generations of ancestors since ancient times, and it is by no means made up out of thin air. Feng Shui can create or harm people, and at the same time, it can also create something that ordinary people can't understand, such as a certain aura. And this kind of aura will make people's thoughts not disappear after death, and their souls will not disperse, and they will become ghosts. ”

"So you suspect that the feng shui situation in this place can make people become ghosts after death?" I asked.

Guo Blind nodded, and then said: "I just said that there are two reasons why people become ghosts after death, one is to die in the right place, and the other is to die in the right time, and the second may be that there is a spiritual thing around people when they are dying, this thing is the earth spring formed by the evolution of the Feng Shui Bureau for thousands of years, it can be the relics of the Buddhist master after his death, or it can be some rare objects in the Taoist inheritance. To put it simply, if spiritual things are around, the soul will not disperse after death, and then it will become a ghost. ”

Zhou Manman told me that she was bounced out of the car by a pine tree growing on the mountain when the bus fell off a cliff, and when she woke up, she was hanging from a pine tree halfway up the mountain. As far as I could see, I could vaguely see that there were indeed many pine trees growing halfway up the mountainside.

I was just about to open my mouth to tell Guo Blind what Zhou Manman told me, but at this moment, Guo Blind suddenly frowned and said, "Why are there still people here at this time?" ”

"Who?" I asked in a whisper, nervous.

The night of Futuling is already scary, few people dare to walk at night, not to mention the wasteland in Houshan that used to be a tomb, and besides, I haven't heard anyone come as a young man, this blind man Guo is nearly seventy years old, and his ear power can be so good?

The blind man did not answer, and motioned for me to hide in the artemisia grass with him, and sure enough, a moment later, a group of people appeared under the moonlight, there were five of them, and it was the yellow cripple who walked in front.

One of the slightly chubby young men said, "Grandpa, you must save me, I am your only grandson." ”
