No one knew who the dead man was, because his whole head was buried in the dirt, and his legs were straight and looked like a tree.

Beside him, there was a shovel that was stained with mud and blood, and gave off a disgusting stench.

A group of people gathered around the corpse, stunned that no one dared to go up and pull out the man who had fallen upside down in the soil, the place where the man died was too strange, and the posture was too strange, his fingers twisted and coiled together, like the rough workmanship of the paper man seen on the funeral road.

Everyone watched from afar and whispered, and there was a blackbird buried under the man's body that had been sawn off by a woodcutter, and no one wanted to mess with something unclean.

It didn't take long for the town's police to arrive after receiving the call, and they set up a cordon to protect the scene and tell everyone to back off, but the funny thing is that they also circled themselves outside.

A group of people waited in place for more than an hour before the forensic doctor arrived, but she also stood outside the cordon, this forensic doctor was a woman who was over the middle of the year, and she did the autopsy when Chen Santian's gang died seven days ago, at this time she stood outside the cordon and did not dare to go in, obviously she also heard about the killing of the phoenix corpse, the twenty-seven lives were not an accident, even if she was an atheist medical worker, she had to believe that she couldn't touch this matter.

A group of people outside the cordon for a long time, no one dared to cross the Lei Chi half a step, a few days to find the grandfather of the policeman Liu Quan rushed over, he saw the grandfather in the crowd, then came up to say hello, grandpa knew what Liu Quan meant, sighed and said: "This is the phoenix corpse, whoever touches it will die, I will not solve the problem." ”

Liu Quan saw that his grandfather pointed out what the problem was, but at the same time, he refused, and said with a sad face: "You can't let the deceased stand upside down here all the time, Secretary Wang, you have to think of a way." ”

Seeing Liu Quan's plea, Grandpa was silent for a while, took two puffs of his dry tobacco and said, "It's not easy to drag the corpse out, take a rope to cover the foot and neck from afar, and pull it out." ”

Liu Quan asked suspiciously: "Can this work?" ”

"Believe it or not, I'm not a policeman." Grandpa turned around and was about to leave.

Liu Quan hurriedly grabbed his grandfather and said with an embarrassed face: "Secretary Wang, I don't believe you, you also see that this is a matter of human life, our police also have wives and children, in case there are three long and two short, what should the family do, or you stay and see, everything will be done according to what you say, in case something happens, you can also save our lives." ”

Grandpa snorted and said, "Isn't that nephew of yours very powerful, he reads a lot, so why don't you ask him to pull people out." ”

Liu Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "Secretary Wang, my nephew Liu Yong will take a day off today, and I will take him to make amends to you in person another day." ”

Liu Quan smiled and chatted with his grandfather, while beckoning the police behind him to go to the nearby villagers' house to borrow hemp rope, a few minutes later, a hemp rope was handed to Liu Quan, Liu Quan took the hemp rope, took a deep breath, his hand was a little shaky, and glanced at my grandfather.

Seeing that his grandfather didn't speak, Liu Quan had the courage to walk to the edge of the cordon, made a circle of hemp rope, and threw it at the upside-down corpse, the hemp rope fell in front of the corpse like a dead snake, and the tooth flower did not touch it.

Liu Quan was in a cold sweat, carefully took back the hemp rope, and was about to throw it out again, he turned his head to look at his grandfather again, for fear that something would go wrong, but he threw the rope several times in a row and fell to the ground softly, and it didn't hit the corpse.

"What a soft egg, did you not eat or what?" Grandpa scolded Liu Quan, put me off his shoulder, walked straight over and grabbed the hemp rope in Liu Quan's hand, and gently threw it on the waist of the upside-down corpse.

A group of people were stunned by Grandpa's hand, and Grandpa looked back at Liu Quan and said, "What's the matter, do you want me to pull the corpse for you?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Quan hurriedly took the hemp rope and pulled it back, but the strange thing was that the corpse did not move at all.

"Huh?" Liu Quan saw that he couldn't pull it, for fear of people's jokes, so he pulled it back violently, but the corpse was still motionless, he was horrified, although the corpse was buried in the soil of the phoenix corpse, but it was only the head buried in the soil, it stands to reason that the corpse would naturally fall down if it was only gently pulled, but the corpse was as firm as a nail nailed to the ground.

"Why don't you come and take a hand?!" Liu Quan looked at a group of policemen looking at each other behind him, and several policemen saw so many people watching, so they had to take the hemp rope and pull back with Liu Quan's slogan.

The upside-down corpse was pulled straight, but the head was still not exposed half a point, and the grandfather was also very strange, he took the hemp rope and was ready to join the team of pulling the corpse, the people of Wangjia Village saw that the grandfather was on them, and the curious young people also took the hemp rope.

Grandpa shouted the trumpet and said, "It's all ready, one, two, three, pull!" ”

With a loud shout from everyone, the corpse was slowly pulled out of the soil, his neck was stretched long, a piece of skin was broken at the place where the collarbone was connected, and blood suddenly spurted out, and the corpse actually moved at this time, he struggled violently, and let out a dull shout, Liu Quan in the front was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, but the people behind looked at the frightened villagers around him and screamed in horror for no reason.

Everyone let go of the rope and looked at the corpse they had pulled out, their faces suddenly pale.

Liu ...... Liu Yong?! A policeman looked at the body they pulled out and said his name.

This person is Liu Yong, the young policeman who looked for his grandfather with Liu Quan a few days ago, Liu Yong's blood-red eyes widened, without a trace of whites, he stared at the crowd, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point in a certain direction, and that direction was the direction that Chen Tiantian's finger pointed when he died.

Liu Yong's movements stopped abruptly, his slender neck was crooked, his head hung on his shoulders, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Brave! Big nephew! Liu Quan sat on the ground and cried, tears and noses. Secretary Wang, what's going on, why are people still alive just now? ”

Grandpa's face was also pale, and he said: "It is impossible to be alive after burying your head in the soil for so long, either it is a fraudulent corpse, or it is the reason for the phoenix corpse, your nephew must not believe in evil and came to dig the phoenix corpse in the middle of the night." ”

"That's exactly why." An old voice came, and then an old man dressed in a simple Taoist robe appeared in the sight of the crowd, his hair was very long, but not sparse and mottled like ordinary old people, but coiled into a round bun, and the rest was scattered behind his back. "This little cub moved the phoenix corpse soil and died here, no wonder others."

As he spoke, the old man stepped into the cordon, and he didn't look at the corpse with his neck stretched out, but circled around the phoenix corpse soil, and then took out a few small yellow flags from his long sleeves and inserted them in the soil, and took out a very small celadon bottle, opened the stopper and poured the liquid inside on the phoenix corpse soil, and there was a squeaky sound from the phoenix corpse soil, and then a burst of white smoke came out.

And the crowd of onlookers has already started to talk.

"Is this person an old immortal who used to live on the mountain behind our village?"

"The old immortal who was criticized by the Red Guards and fled to Taiwan thirty years ago? At that time, they all said that he was almost 100 years old, and he hadn't died in 30 years? ”

The old man turned a deaf ear to everyone's discussions, and after he made a series of strange actions, he raised his head and said to everyone: "In the future, this place will be clean, no need to be afraid, this corpse can also be dragged away, nothing will happen." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the grandfather in the crowd and said with a pleasant face: "Daosheng, I didn't expect you to be old, I think you should have children and grandchildren, bring them to show me." ”

"Wu, Wu Zhenren!" Grandpa seemed to be a little incredulous, he looked at the old man with an indescribable metaphor in his eyes, and then looked at me who was stunned on the side, and said, "Eldest grandson, kowtow to Wu Zhenren!" ”

I immediately knelt down obediently and kowtowed to the "Wu Zhenren" in the mouth of the grandfather in front of me, Wu Zhenren hurriedly helped me up, and he said with a smile: "You don't need to make this big gift, get up quickly." What's your name? ”

"My name is Wang Yang." I looked up at Wu Zhenren and said.

Wu Zhenren took my little hand, and his fingers rubbed lightly in my palm, and no one noticed that he trembled lightly at that time, and a fleeting strange look flashed in his eyes.
