The years of reselling the haunted house

"Do you still need to ask? Jin Chunyang and the others must have taken it before us." Third Uncle said.

"They... can they come into this room?"

The third uncle smiled bitterly: "At first I thought we were the only ones who had the key, and they might not be able to find it so quickly. Now I think this idea is too naive. Maybe the old Guantou doesn't just have this key."

"But they took the tablet, what are they going to do?"

"Obviously it was also to find out where Chen Jinhua was buried. Do you remember what I told you about the fact that Xu Zhe's grave was empty?"

I nodded: "I remember. So far I haven't figured out why Xu Zhe tried his best to fill that grave."

The third uncle said: "I didn't understand it very well before, but looking at it now, I seem to see it more clearly."

I hurriedly asked, "Third Uncle, what did you see clearly?"

The third uncle said: "That empty grave should have been the place where Chen Jinhua was buried. But now, Chen Jinhua's body is definitely not there."

In fact, what the third uncle said, I have thought of it myself.At that time, Xu Zhe and Fatty were lured out in the middle of the night. In fact, they went to the back mountain to dig soil and fill the grave.

The reason why Xu Zhe was found to fill it in was because Xu Zhe was a descendant of the Xu family.The lure of them out has been confirmed by Chen Jinhua, and he ordered Sun Xingwang to do it.Although she didn't explicitly say that the grave was her own, she could figure it out with a little thought.

But the third uncle kept saying that the tomb was empty.This made me wonder, if it was empty, where did Chen Jinhua's body go.I know that for a situation like Chen Jinhua's resentment, she died and turned into a ghost. Although her body has passed 20 years, it must not have decayed. Even if it did not become a corpse, it should still be intact.I don't know what other functions her body will have.

"Third Uncle, have Jin Chunyang and the others gone to the back mountain? Shall we chase after him too?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "No need, I think so, let's go to another place to have a look."

I was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Huang's house." After speaking, Third Uncle got up, quickly left Sun's house, and went downstairs.

I hurriedly closed the door, followed my third uncle and went downstairs to Huang's house on the third floor.

We are studying the situation of these companies every day, so we know all the clues of each family.I remember writing down the problem with the Huang family that there were wildflowers on the table and garbage in the trash can.The wilting degree of wild flowers and the freshness of the garbage are different, and it is suspected that someone has lived in the house recently.

Chapter 1252

And we opened the door again and entered Huang's house. Before entering the door, we smelled a scent of flowers emanating from the house.And we soon discovered that there was a bouquet of wild flowers in a vase on the table in the living room.The bouquet of wild flowers were all purple flowers.The flower shape is a bit like that kind of small sunflower, but the color is completely different from the golden yellow of normal sunflowers.

The wild flowers should have just been picked a few days ago. Although they are a little wilted, they still exude that strong fragrance.

The trash can in the kitchen is still the same, similar to what we saw a few days ago.But from the degree of blooming, it can be seen that someone must have entered the house again.Even if you don't live here, someone has changed the flower.The wild flowers we saw last time have all withered, and the fragrance is far from as strong as today.

So, I quickly made a judgment: "Third Uncle, after we finished watching this house, did someone come here again?"

The third uncle frowned, he had been observing the bouquet of wild flowers.

After hearing what I said, the third uncle shook his head: "Nephew, it seems that it is not as simple as you said. This house may not have been visited by anyone."

I was stunned: "How is this possible? No one has been here. Who changed the flowers? Could it be that ghosts have come? But, ghosts should not have that much control over this kind of real flowers, right?"

The third uncle shook his head: "It's not a ghost either. Rather, this flower has never been changed..."

"How is it possible? When we came last time, this flower was clearly..." Before I finished speaking, I suddenly understood what Uncle San meant, and asked in surprise, "Uncle San, what do you mean, after the flower withers, , Blooming again? Isn’t this a dead tree in spring?”

The third uncle didn't speak, just nodded, still looking at the bouquet of flowers intently.

I shook my head in disbelief, how is this possible?After the flower withered, it bloomed again?You must know that after withering, the rhizome of the flower loses its vitality, and it is impossible to bloom again.What's more, the flower was just placed in a vase, and it didn't go deep into the soil.Even with some special means, such as nutrient solution, it is impossible to achieve this effect in just a few days, right?This has completely subverted the natural growth law.

But I know that third uncle's conclusion is definitely not just nonsense.He must have his reasons.

Sure enough, the third uncle waved at me, let me get closer and said: "Look, nephew, there is no water in this vase. If it is new, there will be some water in it. And I counted it." , There are a total of eight flowers in this bouquet, which is exactly the same as the number we saw a few days ago. If I remember correctly, the shapes and positions of these flowers are the same. In addition, look... "

As the third uncle pointed to the stem of the flower with his finger, I found that the stem was dry and there was no vitality on it.In addition, the flowers and leaves of the flowers are also in a withered state.

Only the few purple wild flowers are still blooming hard, as if to show people that they are still alive.

I was completely ignorant, and I never thought that there would be so many strange phenomena here.A seemingly ordinary bunch of wild flowers will bloom again after withering.This turned out to be a flower that can grow backwards.

"Why must there be a fragrance of flowers here..." The third uncle frowned, walked around the flower a few times, suddenly reached out to copy the vase, and said to me: "Nephew, I'll take this flower outside Go, see what happens here?"

I nod.Third Uncle grabbed the vase and brought the purple wild flowers with him, walked outside the door in a few steps, and closed the door behind him.

Even though the flowers were taken away, there was still a strong fragrance in the room.

I went around the house a few times, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.I was about to call third uncle to come in when I suddenly smelled a sour smell.

I was shocked, I was very familiar with this smell, I had smelled it in Zhao's house.And this smell has been confirmed by the third uncle, it is a ghost smell, and it is in the ghost prison.Because Zhao Liang killed three people with bad methods, he was sentenced to a ghost prison after his death, and the ghost smell he emitted was also at the scene of his murder, which was the hall of the Zhao family.

With this discovery, I hurriedly called my third uncle in.

After the third uncle came in, he put the bouquet of purple wild flowers on the table again.

And as this bouquet of flowers was brought in, the fragrance of the flowers permeated the entire hall again, making the sour smell in the room disappear immediately.

"What did you find?" Third Uncle asked.

I explained the situation, and the third uncle nodded: "That's no wonder. The scent of flowers is not for anything else, but to cover up the smell of ghosts. It seems that this is one thing subsiding another thing. The ghost smell is so thoroughly covered up."

I questioned: "Third Uncle, how could there be a ghost smell in the room of the Huang family? Didn't Huang Xifu of the Huang family die in the mine together with Xu Zhe's grandfather?"

The third uncle shook his head. In order to confirm this matter, he asked me to go out with the vase, and he stayed in the room to feel it again.

When I estimated the time and walked in again, Uncle San was walking around the room.

"How about third uncle, what did you find?" I asked.

The third uncle nodded and said: "There is indeed a ghost smell. But I feel that the smell of ghosts is much weaker than that of the Zhao family. Otherwise, it is impossible to cover it with this kind of floral fragrance."

I asked again: "The ghost smell is weaker than that of the Zhao family, so what does that mean?"

"It means that the situation here may be different from that of the Zhao family. Forget it, let's put this matter here first, and we will look for other clues."

Uncle San waved his hand and led me out of Huang's house.

I know that my third uncle investigates a haunted house or other murderous situations, and never digs into a corner on a problem. He is the kind of person who will turn around when he encounters a hard bone.But this often brings unexpected gains. When you are searching for other clues, look back at the hard bone at the beginning, because other clues appear, and it becomes not so hard.Sometimes, even after you have successfully solved the haunted house, you will find that the difficult problems you found at the beginning are not so important.In other words, that problem may not be among the key links in your solution to the deadly situation.

The third uncle often told me that when dealing with a difficult situation, it is not a deed worth advocating to dare to face the difficulties, and one must know how to avoid the difficult and ignore the trivial to achieve great things.

Chapter 1253 The Secret of Ghost Smell

We left the Huang family's house, and this time we were finally ready to go into the mountains again.

I started the motorcycle, my third uncle sat in the back seat, and I rode the motorcycle to the back of the mountain.

The destination is where we saw Xu Zhe filling the grave last time.After a few days of no rain, coupled with the sun, the road leading to the back mountain has dried up a lot and is no longer as muddy as it was a few days ago.

In this way, the road has gone a lot, but it also prevents us from seeing the traces on the road.

Although we suspected that Jin Chunyang and the others had taken the three memorial tablets of the Sun family, we couldn't find their traces from this road, and it was difficult to judge whether they were in the back mountain now.

With a motorcycle as a means of transportation, going up the mountain has become a very easy task.In less than ten minutes, I rode the motorcycle to the depths of the back mountain.

When we were 30 meters away from the place where we found Xu Zhe filling the grave, the third uncle signaled me to stop the car, and we walked forward to explore.

Soon, the rising and falling grave mounds not far away appeared in sight.

The third uncle took out the compass on his body and led me step by step towards the cemetery.

I clearly remember the location where Xu Zhe filled the grave, and we found it exactly.I roughly estimated that there are at least dozens of graves that can be seen clearly in front of my eyes.There are still some that are not in sight at a place farther away. If you count them all, there are hundreds of them.

We didn’t focus our investigation on this before, because most of the graves here are wild graves. I guess that in the Yuantou village I came across, after the accident in the village, most of the people in the village were buried here .

Therefore, when the ghost market started, Yuantou Village became the main gathering place for ghosts.

Looking at the grave mounds one after another, I am a little confused.

The third uncle, on the other hand, held the compass and kept observing the grave mounds around him.

And I found that due to the special terrain here, it belongs to a relatively low-lying area behind the mountain, and the surrounding trees usually block a lot of sunlight, so the ground under my feet is different from the mountain road outside, and it is relatively humid here.

In this way, I can clearly see the footprints left on the ground.Where we were standing, because Xu Zhe and we had come here more than once, the footprints on the ground seemed rather messy.I can't see how many people have been here.

But I walked along the path between these grave mounds, and soon found out.

I called out to my third uncle: "Third uncle, there are new footprints here, could they be left by Jin Chunyang and the others?"

The third uncle rushed over after hearing the sound, and found that there were really two pairs of footprints on the ground, extending forward along the road under his feet.

I looked at the road and said, "I recognize this road. It should be the road leading to the wooden stage. It seems that they went to study the wooden stage again."

The third uncle held the compass, looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I hope this operation will be a watershed for both of us."

"Watershed? What do you mean?"

The third uncle said: "It seems that Jin Chunyang and the others have also discovered the root of the problem. And I now suspect that the content of the conversation between you and Chen Jinhua in the ghost collection has been known to them. Now their goal is to find Chen Jinhua The soul of his son Chenchen. The problem now is, whoever finds Chenchen first will take the initiative in the game, and it will be a matter of time before the curse is broken."

"No way?" I asked in surprise: "The conversation between Chen Jinhua and I was only the two of us. And Li Weiwei had already been discovered at that time, and he had already run away after being chased by those hell flamingos. They How do you know what we're talking about?"

The third uncle sneered and said, "It's true that their actions are so secretive, but they can't escape my eyes, Li Dongbin. Do you still remember the smell of ghosts in the Huang's house?"

I smiled wryly and said, "This happened just half an hour ago. Is my memory that bad? Of course I remember."

The third uncle stared and waved his hands: "The main thing is to listen to the matter, don't bite the words. What I mean is, I know why that ghost smell appeared in Huang's house."

"That is how the matter?"

I'm not surprised by Uncle San's analytical ability at all. His thinking has always been pointing east to west, and guiding to north.

The third uncle said: "The ghost smell is actually not coming from the room, but from the ghost prison."

"Ghost prison? Isn't the ghost prison in the ghost collection? How could it appear in the building where we live?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. Because the ghost prison is in the ghost market, the ghost smell coming from the ghost prison is much weaker than the real ghost smell of the Zhao family. I guess, the ghost smell from the ghost market There must be a passage between the prison and the hall of the Huang family. This passage can allow the information that the ghosts in the ghost collection want to convey can be transmitted here completely. I guess, the conversation between you and Chen Jinhua The content must have been known by the ghosts in the ghost collection. And the ghosts came here through this channel connecting with the outside world. And the ones receiving the information here are obviously Jin Chunyang and the others."

After listening to the third uncle's explanation, I felt that everything was so incredible.I was surprised and said: "Is this Jin Chunyang's strength so high? Is this connection with the ghost prison temporarily opened, or did it exist before?"

The third uncle analyzed: "Didn't you say that you saw Li Weidu in the ghost collection? I suspect that he went to the ghost collection to open up this information channel. It seems that Jin Chunyang is also a ghost spirit." He was able to quickly target the ghost collection, but he was suffering from the lack of a better way to inquire about the news in the ghost collection. After all, it is impossible for people to enter the ghost collection continuously, so he came up with this method. I I don’t think he should be called Jin Chunyang anymore, he should just be called the Golden Devil.”

Unexpectedly, the third uncle changed his name to Jin Chunyang with a casual sentence.Because we all feel that the title of Golden Devil is more in line with Jin Chunyang's image, and also in line with his consistent behavior and style.Anyway, from then on, we all called Jin Chunyang the Golden Devil.I don't know if Jin Chunyang will be fuming with anger when he knows we arranged him in this way.

However, although the third uncle had a bit of a mouthful, the judgment he made at the time really opened my eyes.I just realized that there is such a magical operation in the world.

I recalled it carefully. When I was talking to Chen Jinhua, I did feel a little strange around me.And Chen Jinhua is still very vigilant, that's why she took me to Niachi, saying that it is her territory, so speak more safely.As a result, it now appears that even in Loach Land, the content of our conversation was still overheard and leaked out.

Chapter 1254

Knowing this, I asked the third uncle again: "Then what do you mean by saying that this is the watershed between us?"

The third uncle said with a smile: "I deduce that the ghost of Chenchen must still be in the world. It is just like what Chen Jinhua analyzed, but it was imprisoned by something. I think the whereabouts of Chenchen's ghost should be related to his The physical body, that is, his body. And his body was buried in the back mountain by the people in the mining area. I have observed it in the past two days. If it is buried in the back mountain, this should be the most suitable place It is said that the three members of Chenchen's family were buried together, which means that all three of their bodies are here. If you want to find Chenchen's ghost, you must first find their bodies. And the Golden Devils took The spirit tokens of their family of three, there is no doubt that they came to find their corpses. Judging from the footprints on this road, their goal is very clear, which is to pass here and go to the direction of the ghost market. The compass also shows that the ghost aura in that direction is indeed heavier."

I was taken aback: "Third Uncle, since you've already seen this, why are we still waiting here? If we don't hurry up and catch up, maybe we can find Chenchen's body before them."

The third uncle shook his head, and said slowly: "No, no, instead of chasing and following the same path, it is better to retreat and find another way."

I was taken aback: "What... what do you mean?"

Third Uncle pointed to another path opposite to that path and said, "Let's go this way."

I frowned and asked: "Third Uncle, I heard you right. You also said that Chenchen is more likely to be there. But you don't go there, go this way, isn't it completely contrary to the goal? Is it? You can’t go the opposite way just because you don’t want to go the same way as them.”

The third uncle stared and said: "Whoever says that it is the opposite of them must be wrong? I said this is the watershed between us, and it is here that we will decide the winner. As long as you believe in the path we are taking If it's right, then it must be right. When will you miss it when you're with third uncle? Don't waste time, come with me quickly. "

In the end, the third uncle didn't say the reason why he went the opposite way with the Golden Devils. He just urged me to leave the area quickly and walked in another direction.

Along the way, the third uncle was observing with that compass.After walking a certain distance, he took out another tool.It's the first time I've seen him use that thing. It's something like a probe, and it's wrapped in bamboo tubes of different sizes. It can be retracted when you usually carry it, and it's only about a foot long.

At this time, the third uncle took out the probe, and after stretching the bamboo tube, the overall length was nearly two meters long.At the front of the bamboo tube is a metal drill bit, the design is very exquisite and ingenious, it can be drilled into the ground by hand.

Every time the third uncle walked a few steps, he drilled the drill bit to a depth of about one meter underground, then pulled it out and held it under his nose to smell it.Then he took out a bottle of something like lime from his bag, and rubbed the probe with the lime.

I believe that the reason why the third uncle chose to go this way was definitely not to be angry with the Golden Devils and the others.It should be that he has his own opinions, which means that he has a basis for taking this path.Perhaps, the result of this probe is his basis.

I was curious, so I couldn't help asking: "Uncle San, are you using this needle as a Luoyang shovel? But I think that Luoyang shovel hits much deeper than yours."

The third uncle glanced at me and said: "The nature is similar. But the Luoyang shovel is used to detect ancient tombs. They are used for tomb robbers, and my probe is used to detect corpses."

"Detecting corpses? How?"

The third uncle said: "Okay. Since you asked, then the third uncle will teach you another trick. As the saying goes, when a dragon walks, there is rain, and when a tiger walks, there is wind. Do you know what this corpse walks?"

"Corpse? There are footprints on the corpse." I replied.

"Pfft..." After hearing my answer, the third uncle almost stopped spraying: "Your size is the footprints? You didn't say that. What kind of thing walks without footprints? What I'm talking about is different from other creatures. Forget it , let me tell you, the corpse walks alive..."

"Qi? I know, corpse gas..."

"I know you're still talking nonsense. That's right, the corpse's aura will descend, so where the corpse walks, the corpse's aura will be left on the road. Since this is the back mountain, there are few people walking around, so the corpse's aura will remain. But after a long time, part of the corpse gas will seep into the ground, and the other part will be blown away by the natural wind. I can use this probe to detect whether there is corpse gas sinking into the ground."

"Is there such a saying? This is the first time I've heard of it. Did you detect the third uncle? Is there any corpse here?"

The third uncle nodded: "Nonsense, if there is no one, can I go all the way here? Let me tell you, not only there is, but there are more than one corpses left with corpse gas. If we follow this clue, we may It will be very rewarding.”
