Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Early the next morning, Xu Wenshan went out for a run and heard two female villagers discussing.

"Is it real?"

"It's true! It's Hu Pengsheng's ghost."

"He must have died unjustly. What kind of examination was done by the forensic doctor after his death..." The person who said it lowered his voice and looked mysterious.

"Stop talking, you're scared to death." The people listening were a little afraid to listen.

"That's it." The speaker got even more excited when he saw the reaction of the listener, and added more embarrassment, "Hu Pengsheng's ghost must have come back to tell us, so we should sacrifice his body to heaven as soon as possible."

Xu Wenshan walked while thinking and came to the mountain in the village.

After climbing up, white fog floated in the mountains in the early morning, and hummingbirds flew through the forests on both sides.

Then he heard some chanting coming from ahead, and he saw some shadows in front of him in the white mist.

Then the shadows got closer and closer, and there was a man carrying a bundle of red cloth.

This explanation is not accurate. To be precise, this man was a corpse carrier, carrying a dead person, and the dead person was wrapped in red cloth.

The person who died should be a person from Qinjiang Village, who died a long time ago.

While the corpse-carrying workers were carrying the corpse, three family members were chanting words to call out the soul behind. Walking at the front was a very peculiar woman with brightly colored flowers and skulls in her hair.

The main color of the clothes is dark red, but the head is embroidered on the collar with many different totem symbols, such as eagles, wolves and tigers.

There were many silver ornaments hanging around her neck and waist, and she had a magic weapon in her hand. She was humming some scriptures.

This woman is thin and has a large tattoo on her entire face. The pattern is a very simple diagonal "hui" shape.

He should be over 50 years old. She should be a goddess. Xu Wenshan thought.

The goddess raised her head and looked at Xu Wenshan.

Seeing this, Xu Wenshan seemed to be frozen for a moment, standing still. There were some hallucinations in my mind, as if my soul had been punched out.

Suddenly someone pulled him.

"Hey, hey, are you okay?" the woman's voice said.

Xu Wenshan came to his senses, why did he hallucinate just now? There seemed to be something smelling. He sniffed it and found it was smoke.

He watched as the funeral procession passed in front of him and moved away for some distance.

The goddess held a magic weapon in her hand, and there was a faint smoke coming from the magic weapon.

It should be this cigarette. Xu Wenshan thought that this smoke might cause temporary hallucinations, so he just inhaled the smoke and fell into a dreamland.

"Are you OK?"

Only then did Xu Wenshan notice a young woman standing next to him. It was the woman who shook him awake.

The woman's hair was tied into a ponytail, with slightly curly bangs, and she looked quite pretty.

"Hey?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xu Wenshan pressed his temple secretly with his thumb.

"When you see the funeral procession, you have to stay away, otherwise you will be easily caught by their smoke," the woman said.

Smoke is used to drive away "evil spirits". That should be the saying.

"Are you from this village?" Xu Wenshan asked.

"Don't you know me?" She looked at Xu Wenshan.

"How do I know you?" Xu Wenshan was confused.

"Have you not seen "Apartment 8", "7 Days of Fright" and "Fast Food"?" She mentioned the names of several movies in succession, and the names sounded like low-cost supernatural dramas.

"Not really." Xu Wenshan shook his head, thinking, it turns out this woman is an actress.

"One day you will know me, and the whole world will know my name, Ye Liqing!"

"Ye Liqing?" Xu Wenshan repeated, "What a special name."

Ye Liqing came here with the crew to film.

"Why did you come to the mountains so early in the morning?" Xu Wenshan asked.

"I heard that there will be a heaven-sacrifice ceremony here today."

"Sacrifice to heaven?" Ye Liqing pulled Xu Wenshan and followed the funeral procession in front, and the procession arrived at a place.

Beside a cave, in a small open space, stood a stone tablet with some special symbols written on it.

The corpse bearer put down the body in red cloth, and the goddess recited some sutras. The three family members knelt down and kowtowed to the corpse. After kneeling, the three family members left.

Xu Wenshan and Ye Liqing hid in a bush not far away and watched.

Xu Wenshan didn’t quite understand, so Ye Liqing explained:

Sacrifice to heaven is a custom unique to Qinjiang Village. It has been passed down for thousands of years.

1000 years ago, a tribe lost their family due to war, so they fled to Qinjiang Village and lived in Qinjiang Village.

But the tribesmen do not want to be buried after death. They always want to return to their extinct hometown.

So they used this ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven. After death, their bones and body were smashed and eaten by eagles, hoping to return to their hometown with the help of the eagle's power.

After hearing this, Xu Wenshan understood that it turned out that the old man died following the tribe's traditional heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

The goddess not far away is presiding over this ceremony.

We chose this cave. The stone tablets outside the cave are engraved with ancient tribal scriptures, and the inside of the cave is used for crushing bones.

Eagles circled the sky.

"The dead person is the most important, so it's better not to watch this scene." Xu Wenshan said.

They headed towards the path and soon descended the mountain.

At the entrance of the village ancestral hall, a man wearing a vest shouted loudly through a loudspeaker: "Fifty a day, is there anyone who can act?" He was a member of the crew.

There are also many people pushing props, lifting boxes of water, lunch boxes, various equipment, and iron racks from the car.

"I'm going to work." Ye Liqing is also from this crew.

Then Ye Liqing ran towards the crew.

.

In the village, the news of seeing the will-o'-the-wisp last night has spread widely.

Some people said they saw Hu Pengsheng sitting in the house drinking water, and some people said they saw ghosts floating up.

When Xu Wenshan returned to the B&B, the fat man had already prepared breakfast.

White porridge, fried dough sticks, rice rolls, and fried cakes are still eaten in the yard.

While eating, Xu Wenshan asked, "Everyone, have you seen movies like "Apartment 8", "7 Days of Horror" and "Fast Food"?"

Yao Ruolan shook his head, and Thirteenth Sister shook her head.

The fat man said, "Are you talking about the work directed by Wen Fei?"

Wen Fei?

The fat guy said that the film he directed was very special. It was a kind of pseudo-documentary that made a horror film look like it was real. In order to achieve realistic effects, actors are often asked to shoot without knowing it.

Real shot? Will-o'-the-wisp?

Xu Wenshan seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

.

At one or two o'clock in the evening, because the will-o'-the-wisp incident caused panic in the village, some villagers simply stayed up.

I want to see if there is really a ghost. Is it really the strange light in a haunted house?

Some opened their windows, smoked cigarettes, and stared at Hu Pengsheng's home.

Some stood in their yards holding their children while coaxing them and looking at the second-floor windows in the distance. Others hid behind the curtains in fear, holding beads in their hands and chanting, and peeked through a small crack.

At 02:30, the strange blue light appeared in front of the second-floor window of Hu Pengsheng's house again.
