Maoshan ghost hunter

"It's very simple. My dad said that her workshop is across three ridges to the west of my cropland. The first house is that. I can't even know where my cropland is."

Since the door of the workshop faced downhill, the three of them decided to bypass the room and look in from the rear window, so that if Ye Qiuling was inside, the possibility of being discovered by her would be reduced.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked down the mountain path and approached the rear window of the workshop.

The three of them huddled together and looked into the window. The light was a bit dim, but the room was small and there were not many things, so they could barely see inside.

Inside was a large steamer against the wall, probably for steaming steamed buns. There were some noodle bags scattered under the pot. On the other side of the room, there was a bed with a person lying on his back.

At a glance, it was a dark-skinned woman, very thin, about 40 to [-] years old, lying on the bed straight, motionless.

The three of them stared at her for a while, and found that her belly was beating slightly, not like breathing, but as if something was wriggling under the skin, pushing her belly up.

Ye Shaoyang beckoned, stepped aside first, and waited for the two of them to come over, discussing in a low voice.

"Is this Ye Qiuling?" Ye Shaoyang asked.

Ye Xiaomeng tilted her head and thought for a while, "I've never met Ye Qiuling, but the characteristics match the ones my dad described to me, so it's probably her."

Xiao Ma said: "If it wasn't for her belly still moving, I really thought she was dead."

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Have you ever seen someone's stomach twitch when they breathe? There must be something in her stomach."

Pony asked in surprise: "What?"

"I don't know. But she may not be alive anymore."

Ye Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "You can use spells to check the corpse aura in the room. If she is really dead, there must be corpse aura gathering in the room..."

"It's useless." Before she finished speaking, Ye Shaoyang waved his hand, "I forgot to tell you, the entire Yinxianji has been casted by people, and unless the conventional spells are contact, nothing can be detected. "

"Why is this happening?" Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed.

"I don't know." Ye Shaoyang returned to the window, staring at Ye Qiuling who was lying on the bed, without blinking his eyes.

Ye Xiaomeng and Xiao Ma also came together again to watch.

After a while, Ye Shaoyang sighed, and said in a breathy voice: "She is dead."

Xiao Ma was surprised: "How do you know?"

"If you pay attention, you will know that there is no ups and downs between her chest and abdomen. Although her belly is trembling, it is definitely not breathing. A living person will definitely not look like this."

Ye Xiaomeng suggested whether to take the risk of going in through the door to check it out. At this moment, a rustling sound came from the other corner of the room, and the three of them immediately turned their heads to see that a cat was coming out of the front pocket. , in the dark, its two eyes emit two beams of red light, which looks a bit creepy.

Ye Shaoyang immediately told them to retreat.

4Chapter 17 Lost Heart

"This is the cat raised by Mrs. Wu!" Ye Shaoyang said after retreating about ten steps in one breath, "I remember that the eyes of those cats are all red."

"Then what should we do now?" Ye Xiaomeng looked at him and said.Ye Shaoyang's series of correctness and judgments made her feel dependent, which she didn't even notice.

"Wait, didn't you say that she delivers food to Mrs. Wu every afternoon, then let's wait." Ye Shaoyang thought for a while, but he couldn't just wait, he had better do something.

I looked around and found a willow tree, so I walked over. Because of the drought, the tree was basically dead.

Ye Shaoyang looked up at the crown of the tree, selected a few branches of moderate thickness, folded them down to arm length, and then went around to the front of the hut, first used the branches to dig the soil in front of the main door of the hut, dug a shallow ditch, and then put the The three branches were placed sideways, and he stepped on them without breaking them, and then retreated to the side.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xiaomeng couldn't help asking.

"This method can determine whether she is dead or alive without touching her."

Facing the surprised eyes of the two, Ye Shaoyang smiled and said: "Those three branches are just right in thickness. If a person walks on them, they will not break, but the corpse is much heavier than a person. If you walk over them, the branches will be broken." will break."

As soon as the pony heard it, he immediately asked: "Why is that, the dead are heavier than the living?"

"There is a word called 'death sinking'. The word expands to mean as heavy as a dead person. After death, a person's weight will be about one-third heavier than before life."

The pony froze. "No, I've heard people say that someone has measured the moment of death, whether the weight will lose more than ten grams or how much, that's the weight of the soul..."

"That was the moment of death. After a person dies, the body will slowly generate corpse aura, and it will not dissipate until it rots. Corpse aura is the head of filth, and it will go to the ground to seek Yin, invisible Adds weight to the dead. If the body doesn't decompose or if it decomposes and the odor doesn't dissipate, it's a zombie."

Pony suddenly realized.

Ye Xiaomeng glanced at Ye Shaoyang in surprise, "Using weight to verify whether a person is alive or dead, you have many ways."

Ye Shaoyang smiled, and led the two of them back to the distance, found a relatively secluded place, sat in the grass, and waited silently.

After waiting for about half an hour, the door of the hut was slowly opened, and then, Ye Qiuling came out, wearing crumpled clothes, with a bamboo basket on her arm, covered with a black cloth, so that the inside could not be seen What are you pretending to be.

The cat sat on her shoulder.

"What's in the basket?" Pony asked curiously.

Ye Shaoyang said: "Go and ask her."

Xiao Ma gave him a blank look, remembering that the ghost with twisted braids he met back then was also carrying a basket like this, with his own head in the basket, and immediately shivered all over.

Ye Qiuling's expression was very dull, her eyes were dull, she didn't notice her feet at all, she stepped out with one leg, and stepped on the first branch that Ye Shaoyang placed.

With a sound of "click", the branch broke, and Ye Qiuling sank one foot into the pit. She lowered her head slowly, took a look, then walked around the pit, and continued to walk down the mountain.

The three of them lurked in the grass and remained motionless until Ye Qiuling walked away. Xiao Ma took a deep breath and said, "It really is a zombie."

"She's not a zombie." Ye Shaoyang said.

"What kind of corpse is that?"

"After she fell into the pit, she was still able to look down, and then walked around the pit, which shows that she still has a little human consciousness. If she is a zombie, she will only be sensitive to artifacts related to spells."

Ye Shaoyang looked at Ye Qiuling's walking figure, and murmured: "So, she is a lost heart."

Hearing what he said, Ye Xiaomeng nodded slowly, "That's right, she looks like a lost heart. It is a state before becoming a living corpse. People are not dead, but their hearts are gone, and their behavior is completely controlled by others." Controlling, able to carry out orders, but unable to feel their own existence..."

The little horse was shocked when he heard this, "If the heart is gone, can people still live?"

"A heartbroken person is a kind of half-human, half-corpse. The soul is still in the body, just to support the action." Ye Xiaomeng stood up and finished, "She is probably going to find Mrs. Wu, let's follow."

The three of them went down the mountain all the way, following Ye Qiuling, keeping a distance of several hundred meters. After going down the mountain, they thought she would go straight to the old village, but instead she took the road out of the village on the left side.

Although the three were curious, they had no choice but to follow.

After Ye Qiuling left the village, she climbed a mountain and came to a cemetery.

"This is the ancestral tomb of Wangzhuang." Ye Xiaomeng said.

Ye Shaoyang was surprised, but at this time Ye Qiuling stopped walking, so the three of them also stopped, standing on the mountain and looking down.
