When I heard them say that the soul search had found Chen Tong, I was overjoyed.

This matter immediately became an eyebrow.

As long as we find Chen Tong, we will probably know the whole thing.

Following the hint on the piece of animal bone that Dong Jing was holding, we quickly found Chen Tong's home.

His family lives in a slum in this village, where 70 or 80 families live, each of which covers an area of only about 20 square meters.

It was still the middle of the night, and they rushed to the slum and surrounded many people in front of Chen Tong's house.

"I haven't seen Chen Gongzi come out for a few days, and now the smell inside is so strong, it shouldn't be an accident, right?"

"I haven't seen him in a few days, and his door is locked, should we open it?"

"Not well, or shall we go and inform the village chief?"

The people gathered at the door of Chen Tong's house said a word, and I listened to it from the side, feeling that something was wrong.

"What happened?" I just grabbed someone and asked.

The man was a young man, dirty, and looked like he had just returned from work.

People in the slums are different from those in other places, even if they see something they don't know or are unfamiliar with.

Hearing my question, the young man replied, "There's a man living here who moved here just a while ago." He's fine with the residents of our side, but he hasn't seen anyone for a few days, and today a person who picked up rubbish passed by and said that it stinked inside, and there was a smell of corpses, and I don't know if something happened. ”

There was also a manager in the slum, and the man had already gone to the village chief's house overnight to report.

At this time, the village chief's car also drove here, and when the village chief got out of the car, he saw me and said hello to me.

"Is something wrong?" The village chief asked.

I shook my head: "I've just arrived, and I've heard that there's a smell of corpses coming from inside, so we might have to break down the door and see what the hell is going on." ”

According to the instructions of the village chief, after we broke down the door, we found that Chen Tong had already died in Huangquan.

I frowned and looked at his corpse.

He was hung high on the roof of a house with a red rope tied to his feet.

What kind of strange sacrificial ritual is this?

I couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Are you sure the soul you just found is here?" I asked Dong Jing.

After a person dies, about three days later, there will be black and white impermanence to hook the soul.

Therefore, in some places, there is such a saying that the coffin will be stopped for three days, because it is afraid that the ancestors will not know where their home is, so that they can stay at home for three more days.

The second is because he is afraid of black and white impermanence and doesn't know where to hook the soul, so he left the coffin at home, waiting for the deceased to be able to get on the road.

But now it seems that Chen Tong has been dead for more than three days.

His soul shouldn't be around here.

"It's really here," Hui Neng looked at me with a serious face: "After Sister Dong Jing searched once, I also followed the method taught by my master to search again." The two of us are sure, and it's the same place that told you. ”

That's weird.

The village chief was busy on the sidelines, letting the slum residents disperse as much as possible, while the autopsy staff took the bodies down and sent them away.

A few of us were standing on the sidelines, and I hadn't figured out a lot of things yet, so I didn't want to leave for a while.

When the village chief was done, he walked up to me, his face a little embarrassed.

"Most of the people who live in the slums come from other places, and there is no way for our ancestral graves to provide them with burials. So I can only stand at the mass grave on the other side of the old mountain, and see if you can help with these things. As for how much it costs, I'll make it up to you later. ”

Even if the village chief doesn't say it, I won't turn a blind eye to this matter.

There is nothing important in life except death.

Even if I can't get money for this help, I will definitely help.

What's more, there are too many secrets on Chen Tong now, if I want to know what happened to Zhong Nian, I have to start with Chen Tong.

I nodded, and I took the deal.

Chen Tong is nothing more than a slum resident and an outsider.

Everything the village chief did was just for the sake of making a show for people to see.

Chen Tong's body has not been examined in any way, and even the coffin prepared by the village chief is too ordinary to be ordinary.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad as I watched Chen Tong's body being placed in a dilapidated grass hut arranged by the village to be buried.

This may be the reason why people leave their hometowns.

"I calculated the time, and after three days, the coffin could be buried before 5 p.m."

Dong Jing knew that I was too busy to take care of these things, so she helped me calculate the auspicious time for burial and handed me the note.

I looked at it, and I really wasn't in the mood to care about it.

"What's wrong with you?"

Maybe it was because he saw that I was in a bad mood, so Dong Jing sat down next to me.

Seeing this, Huineng also sat down next to us.

I frowned: "I still feel that the soul is wrong, since he has been dead for so long, the soul should not be in that house." ”

"But both of you have searched at the same time, and the directions are the same, could something go wrong? For example, his soul was indeed sealed in that place, but we don't know where it is now? ”

My mind was a mess, and I couldn't figure out a single reason for it.

"It's not impossible," Huineng also frowned at me: "But nothing has happened to that house now, and we don't need to investigate." Especially in the slums, where there are so many people, if we force an investigation, it may cause riots for a long time. ”

Dong Jing nodded approvingly: "And the village chief will definitely not agree to us doing this, we will do the things in front of us now, if anything happens in the slums, the village chief will definitely ask us to help deal with it, and then we will investigate, and it will not be a big problem." ”

That being said, I always felt that it was not a good idea to drag it out like this.

Especially Zhong Nian, her time is running out.

When we left, I had already told Mr. Chung that the little girl's time was only seven days.

If we don't find her soul within seven days, there's a good chance she'll die.

"You two have worked hard for the past three days, and you are responsible for watching here. I tried to run on both sides as much as I could, and I had to keep an eye on Zhong Nian's situation at all times. ”

When it was dawn, I stood up and tidied up my clothes.

Now is not the time for decadence, things will fall out one day.

"You don't use it anymore, anyway, the soul is not here, and it's useless to chant the scriptures excessively. Just keep it well, and as soon as the three days are up, we will immediately leave for burial. ”
