Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Man Is Gone
After everything was prepared, the group set off again, and the scene of dozens of motorcycles driving together on the mountain road was actually a bit spectacular.
But Ji Shang, who was sitting in the car, was not so relaxed.
Although he has a driver's license, this kind of mountain road with cliffs on one side and a reservoir on the other is still not so easy to navigate, so he can only sit in the back seat of a police motorcycle as a passenger.
There was nothing to say all the way for more than two hours, and he didn't try to talk to the driver, after all, if you are distracted here, you may not recover.
In fact, there are a few relatively less remote villages in the wind-blown Luodai Mountain, which are basically concentrated in the reservoir area, and those villagers who have left the village look at their team curiously, not knowing what is happening, and some even stop to take pictures.
If they knew that within a radius of more than ten kilometers from the village where they lived, there were several villages where nearly thirty people had died, it was estimated that they would not have had such an easy time......
It wasn't until 6:30 p.m. that the team finally reached the end of the trail.
This is the highest peak in the Kaze-Radai Mountain, called Yaotou Mountain, and the location of Chaochuan Village is on a basin behind this mountain.
"From now on, I will have to walk over the mountain, but this mountain is not high, at most it is more than 400 meters above sea level, and there are also paths, which is enough for the past hour."
The criminal investigation captain named Li Rui took a breath and said to Ji Shang.
With his perennial work experience on the front line, how can he not see who is the core of this mission?
Although Ji Shang didn't show any outstanding performance along the way, and he never gave orders, it was obvious that these people from the Minzong Office were mainly based on him.
----Or rather, at least work with him as the core.
He looked at Ji Shang, the young man in front of him looked like he was in his twenties, and he was not like the strange person in his impression, but he always exuded a special aura on his body.
That kind of aura....... How to put it, it's as if he didn't take those horrible strange things and cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods the same thing at all.
If you have a good relationship with him, the safety and security of your team members may be able to increase by a few points.
After all, he is good at fighting crime, and he can deal with ghosts and gods...... It's really not something you and your people can do.
Ji Shang didn't know what Li Rui was thinking, thinking that he was just talking casually, so he replied casually:
"I haven't climbed the mountain for a long time, this kind of mountain road is very evil, I used to hear the old people in my family say that there will be a maze array in Dayao Mountain at every turn, and sometimes I will bump into other people's 'Qian'."
"Swarm? What is it? ”
Li Rui asked nervously.
"It's a sound, I don't know how to write it, it's a very strange zombie anyway."
"After a person dies, he is not buried, he wraps it in a cloth and puts it on the beams of the house, and he cooks on the fire below as usual, and over time the corpse develops a '', and will eat and drink with the living, and it is usually no different from the living, that is, the meat on the body will become drier and drier, the same as the old bacon."
"It's not clear whether this thing exists or not, but there is indeed this custom in the mountains, and it is estimated that it is the same source as tree burial and sedan chair burial, anyway, it is very weird."
"You think, who can stand eating and living with a corpse?"
Ji Shang casually told the legend he heard from the old man, and Li Rui's scalp tingled when he heard it.
"Is it dangerous?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it...... I think if you ask Section Chief Chen, she should be more professional. ”
While climbing the mountain road, Li Rui looked back at Chen Wushu who was following behind, who hesitated for a moment and said:
"Yang 逡---- to be precise, that word is not pronounced, it is pronounced quing, which is similar to the pronunciation of the word queen in English."
"This custom developed from the coffin burial of Bai Pants Yao, and only appeared briefly a few times, and each time it existed for no more than 10 years."
"Stopping the coffin burial means that after the person dies, the coffin should be stopped at home for half a year, and the coffin should be sealed with glutinous rice water to prevent decay---- in fact, it will prevent the smell from escaping."
"Many people have studied this kind of burial customs, and theoretically speaking, it should be related to some ghosts and gods, but no matter how you trace the source, you can't find any basis."
"In short---- in some special periods, when materials are extremely scarce, coffins and glutinous rice are extremely difficult to obtain, but the customs cannot be changed, and finally they evolved into raising."
"To put it bluntly, it's smoked bacon."
"I've even heard that in some places the dead are disemboweled, so that they can be dried....... Not to mention this, in short, this is a bad custom, but in fact, there is no special danger, and our internal archives have never been about raising people to hurt people. ”
Hearing this, Li Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He no longer chatted with the opener, but beckoned his team to rush forward to explore the way.
By this time the sky had gradually darkened, and a faint light cast by the slanting sun in the distant mountains, staining the path in the woods that could only allow one person to pass through.
And this path is the only thing that lights up in the entire mountain forest.
On either side of it, the woods are so dark that you can barely look at it directly.
Because even if you just take a casual look, you will subconsciously feel that there is something terrible hidden in it, and your mind will be shaken.
"How far is it?"
Ji Shang asked.
The voices of the players at the front of the line came over the intercom.
"When I got to the top of the mountain, I could already see the lights in the village."
"The way down is a bit steep, I informed our people to come up to answer it, and now I can see their flashlight, and they have reached the bottom of the mountain."
Ji Shang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this road is going smoothly.
Although it is always said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, those who have really walked in the mountains will know that going down is much easier than going up.
The time has just arrived at 7:10, and it is estimated that at half past seven, you will be able to officially enter Chaochuan Village.
He touched the funeral umbrella inserted in the side of the tennis bag with his backhand, and thought to himself:
If there is really danger in this village, then there is a high probability that from now on, you will actually enter the opponent's territory.
Niu Wangye...... I don't know if this ghost god made of flesh and blood will give himself a dismount from the dust and bones.
Chen Wushu behind him had also caught up and followed Ji Shang's side.
She was holding a piece of lightning strike wood in her hand, and judging from the pulp on it, it should be a serious magic weapon.
"Can this thing work?"
Ji Shang asked curiously.
"It's useful, but it's definitely not as good as your funeral umbrella, and it's probably not as good as the itching of your cat and tiger god nails."
“...... That's not tickling. ”
Ji Shang replied speechlessly.
Before leaving, Tan Qian had already given him the "weapon" he had made, and to be honest, at first glance, he also felt that it was an itch.
But whatever, as long as it's useful.
Just thinking like this, Li Rui's walkie-talkie in front of him suddenly rang, and the sound coming from inside made Ji Shang's brows furrow instantly.
"Team Li, the flashlight below is gone!"
