Go crazy!You call me the ultimate?

After reaching the third floor, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

The ceiling of the hall is covered with luminous ore, and the light emitted by the ore is brighter than that of the two floors below, comparable to fluorescent lamps.

The light was originally soft white, but all the surrounding windows were covered with a layer of yellow paper, and the white light reflected on the yellow paper turned into an orange color similar to firelight from the outside.

In front of the window facing the gate, a rope protruded from the ceiling, and a paper figure was hung from it.

The paper figurines are life-size, wearing ancient costumes, with white faces and red cheeks, and a very strange grin with bared teeth.

There seems to be an mechanism on the rope, pulling the paper figurine back and forth.

The paper figurine was floating in the air, at first glance it looked like a hideous hanged ghost.

Among the crowd, Yaomei was the least courageous, she almost cried out, and hurriedly hid behind Lin Shuangyue.

Wang Kaixuan covered his heart and cursed.

"Which wicked ghost did this, pretending to be a ghost, it scared me so much!"

Professor Sun was not afraid at all. He stepped forward to take a closer look, and his expression changed immediately.

"This is a kind of Southwest magic, Hanging Soul!"

This kind of sorcery spread in the southwestern area of ​​Hubei, and originated from the ancient witchcraft in the pre-Qin period, similar to spiritualism.

The Ba people believe that the body is the home of the soul. At first, they used the corpse to summon the soul, that is, to use the corpse to revive the soul, or ask the ghost for good or bad luck, or communicate with dead relatives and friends.

Later, this kind of witchcraft was banned by the imperial court, but it was secretly passed down among the people, but it was changed to use paper figurines to summon souls.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with disdain.

"Isn't it just pretending to be a ghost? I thought this Feng Shigu was so capable, but it turned out that he was just a charlatan."

Professor Sun shook his head seriously.

"This kind of sorcery has been passed down to the present. If it is just a trick of the rivers and lakes, how can it be passed down for thousands of years?"

When he was a teaching assistant in Wushan, he had personally seen local witches perform this kind of witchcraft. As a knowledgeable professor of archeology, he could not see any flaws, so he has always been in awe of this ancient witchcraft. heart of.

Wang Kaixuan saw the solemnity of what he said, so he couldn't help but leaned forward to take a closer look, and his expression changed accordingly.

Although the facial features of the paper figurine were drawn with a brush, the eyes were vivid and the expression was lifelike.

Looking at the paper figurine up close, it feels like being stared at by a living person!

"This paper figurine is really weird, it makes me feel scared."

"I set it on fire!"

After speaking, he took out the lighter from his backpack and started to do it.

Professor Sun hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't be reckless, this thing can't be burned, if it is burned, it will be bad luck and cause big trouble!"

When he was a teaching assistant in Wushan, he had a good relationship with the local people, and the villagers would invite him to attend their weddings and funerals.

Once, he witnessed a weird soul-hanging ceremony with his own eyes.

After the ceremony, the witch told the master that the paper figurine must be hung behind the gate of the main room, and after 49 days, the incense table and three animals should be placed, and the paper dolls could be sent away after worshiping and praying.

During this period, the paper figurine must not be touched, otherwise disasters may strike.

A stupefied young man stole the paper figurine at night, intending to sell it at a candle shop in the city.

Early the next morning, before the young man had time to go to the city, the witch came to the door. In desperation, he burned the paper figurine in the latrine, and then denied it.

The witch couldn't help him, and said before leaving: "It's a pity that you are young, you should eat something good these two days." After finishing speaking, she left.

The young man thought the witch was trying to scare him, so he didn't take it to heart.

Three days later, he fell into the water while crossing a bridge and drowned in the river.

But the strange thing is that the young man's water skills were very good, and the river water didn't reach his thighs, so he couldn't swim ashore, and drowned in the river!

After people salvaged his body, they found a pair of purple handprints on his ankles.

The witch said that it was the wraith in the paper man who dragged him into the river and drowned him in the water!

Professor Sun said with a solemn expression.

"The resentful spirit in this paper man can only be sent away with a special ceremony, otherwise it will haunt you forever!"

After listening to the story, although Wang Kaixuan said he was not afraid, his legs were very honest, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Yaomei is from Wushan, and she is very familiar with this kind of story, so her expression changed immediately.

"This thing is too unlucky, let's not..."

As a result, before she could finish her sentence, Ji Changsheng strode forward and tore the paper figurine off.

When Professor Sun saw it, he trembled in fright, and his face turned pale.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was a ghost, and a mere wraith was nothing in front of a ghost!
Ji Changsheng looked down at the paper figurine and nodded in praise.

"This craftsmanship is really good, but it can be sold for a few dollars. No wonder some people are tempted."

"But there are no vengeful spirits in it, it's just something to scare people."

As the incarnation of the ghost king, if there were ghosts and resentful spirits in the attic, he would have come out to bow down and greet him.

After throwing away the paper figurine, he looked up at the rope.

Hu Bayi saw it and immediately understood.

"This paper figurine is used to scare people. The purpose is to keep people away. There must be something hidden on it!"

The one who made the paper figurine must be Feng Shigu. He was an ancient man hundreds of years ago. Most people at that time were very superstitious. In addition, the witchcraft of hanging souls was well-known in the southwest area. This paper figurine can indeed play a very powerful role. deterrent effect.

It's a pity that he missed a little bit. Modern people hundreds of years later will not be easily frightened.

Especially when meeting Ji Changsheng, let alone a mere paper figurine, even a real evil spirit wouldn't be able to scare him.

In front of him, this paper man trap has become superfluous, and there is no more than 300 taels of silver here.

Ji Changsheng smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to grab the air.

Capture the Dragon!
A strong suction force emanated from the palm, and a black object was sucked off the beam and fell into the hand.

This is a black wooden box, only the size of a palm.

When I opened it, there was a yellowed booklet inside, which read "Guanshan Excavation Record", and the author was signed by Feng Shigu.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, Feng Shigu spent a lot of effort to hide this thing, there must be confidential information recorded in it!
The booklet only has dozens of pages, and I finished reading it in less than half an hour.

The content inside is somewhat beyond people's expectations.

Professor Sun's eyes glowed, he couldn't restrain his excitement, and said tremblingly.

"The Neidan of Corpse Immortal is really real! It's just not what we imagined."

Hu Bayi expressed doubts about the contents of the booklet.

"Mr. Ji, I have a feeling that the content here is not true."

"Maybe Feng Shigu used it to confuse people!"
