"About half a year ago, I took over a haunting case in a small village." Qu Xiaohe said, she briefly described what she encountered.

Because of poverty, Qu Xiaohe has always accepted some private commissions to make a living.

Half a year ago, a case in a small village was handed to her. The content sounded simple. The villagers accused an old man in the village who was obviously dead, but reappeared in the village the next day. It's the same for four days... The old man didn't do anything bad to the villagers, he just appeared every day, and the villagers were scared to death, so they decided to pool money to invite the master to drive out the ghosts.Before Qu Xiaohe took over, the villagers had already looked for several witches and gods, as well as some Taoist priests who claimed to be celestial masters, but to no avail. When Qu Xiaohe took over, the villagers were almost out of money. Followed by super low price.

Qu Xiaohe inquired about the old man's situation and learned that the old man was a mason with no wife and no children. He came to this village to settle down 30 years ago.He is usually kind to others, and he got along well with the villagers during his lifetime, and he has never heard of any enmity with anyone.The old man passed away due to illness. After he left, the villagers helped him with the funeral affairs because he had no children to take care of his offspring. Who would have thought that something would go wrong on the first night of the vigil.

Four or five villagers stayed at the old man's house that night, and they were prone to sleepiness in the dead of night, so they mate with each other to talk and do some simple chores.Halfway through, a villager felt that he was too sleepy, so he got up and went to the yard to scoop up some cold water to wash his face.At that time, the bright moon was hanging high, and as soon as he went out, he saw a figure standing in front of the water tank in the yard.The villager thought he was also here to watch the spirit, and was about to go over to have a conversation, when the figure suddenly turned around, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

The villagers felt that this person looked familiar, but they didn't recognize him for a while. They just thought that some relatives came to help, and even chatted a few words. Although the other party didn't answer, the villagers thought that the other party might just be shy. Finally, I washed my face and went back to the house.When they got to the house, they saw that the guards were all sleepy, and the villager kicked them both angrily and amusedly. Shocked, the coffin is gone!

He hurriedly woke everyone up, and everyone looked sleepily into the middle of the room, and they all woke up in fright.

This is something that has never been encountered before. How could a coffin that was placed there suddenly disappear?The villagers who went out to wash their faces just now asked other people what happened when he was away. Several people said that they didn't see anything. They were really sleepy, so they wanted to squint for a while, and then they were woken up.

The villager who washed his face was called Wang Daniu, and he actually knew in his heart that nothing happened just now, otherwise, how could he not hear it in the front yard.Even if such a large coffin was transported away, it would have to go out through the door.Thinking of this, he thought of the stranger he saw just now, and hurriedly asked, but after asking, no one said that he had brought such a person to help, which was strange.Moreover, Wang Daniu didn't see the middle-aged man after returning to the house, so he might have disappeared suddenly.It was at this time that the man suddenly appeared at the door of the back room.He walked out slowly, as if he couldn't see the other people, and sat on a chair beside him, not knowing what to do, his fingers moved very quickly, but there was nothing in his hand, as if he was interacting with the air.

At this time, an elderly villager suddenly stabbed Wang Erniu and said tremblingly, "Erniu, I, I remembered."

Wang Erniu asked, "What do you remember?"

"Remember who he is." The villager, who was nearly fifty years old, said, "That's old Zhangtou, the old Zhangtou when he first came to our village."

Old Zhangtou is the old man who died. It is said that when he first arrived in this village, because he was not familiar with the place where he was born, he sold handicrafts for a while for a living. Straw sandals, pot holders, etc. Later, as the craftsmanship of masons was gradually recognized, I seldom made these small things.

"Old Zhangtou... But isn't Old Zhangtou dead?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then scattered and fled in fright.The next morning, they tremblingly went back to Lao Zhangtou's house for a look, and found that the coffin was parked there, and the house was quiet, as if there was nothing weird about it.Several people told what they saw last night, but everyone didn't believe them, so they were so angry that they threatened to watch again tonight for everyone to see.

That night, at a certain time, the coffin disappeared again, and the shadow of the middle-aged old man appeared. He went to the yard to wash his face and rinse his mouth, then went back to his room and took out his things. Started making up again.Now the villagers finally believed that there was a ghost. In order to appease the people, the village chief ordered the coffin of Lao Zhangtou to be buried quickly to avoid accidents.In order to appease the souls of the old Zhangtou, people even burned a lot of paper money, hoping that the old Zhangtou would not come out to make trouble after taking it.

I thought this would be the end of it, but who would have thought that the old man would appear again that night.He seems to be repeating the same thing every night, washing his face, rinsing his mouth, weaving straw sandals or something else, and some people say that he has unfulfilled wishes.The village head called several villagers to invite a well-known Taoist priest to do the practice overnight. The other party set up an altar, danced around, and said that the old Zhangtou had left things in the house during his lifetime, so he was worried and came back every night. Find it, just burn that thing to him.So everyone was busy, found a pair of half-made straw sandals and burned them.The money was given, the kung fu was done, and at night the old tricks reappeared. It was the same old process, and everyone was almost numb.

Later, Lu successively invited many people to look at it, but they still couldn't solve this problem.But because the old Zhangtou is not harmful, everyone walked around the house except in the morning and evening, especially at night, and gradually persuaded themselves not to be afraid. When Qu Xiaohe arrived in the village, what he saw was such a ghost A scene of harmony.

Old Zhangtou's house is still there, but no one dares to enter.Qu Xiaohe took advantage of the daytime to go in and check it out, and unexpectedly found that the yin energy in the room was not heavy, and it didn't look like it was haunted.Then she declined the villagers' kindness and stayed alone in the house. At the time the villagers said at night, she saw the middle-aged old man appearing.First the yard, then the back room, and then sit on a chair and weave things.

Qu Xiaohe looked at him, he didn't look at Qu Xiaohe, Qu Xiaohe talked to Lao Zhangtou, but the other party didn't say a word as if he didn't hear him.Until Qu Xiaohe stepped forward and patted the opponent's body.

It was not a phantom, Qu Xiaohe's actions finally disturbed the other party, the middle-aged old Zhang raised his head to look at Qu Xiaohe: "You are?"

Qu Xiaohe asked: "Are you Zhang Dajiu?"

The old Zhangtou nodded in doubt: "You are... why are you in my house?"

Qu Xiaohe asked again: "Do you know what year this year is?"

The old Zhangtou reported the year even more suspiciously, just as the older villagers said it was decades ago.

Qu Xiaohe probably knew it in her heart, so she said that you made a mistake, this year is already a certain year, and you are no longer here.As soon as she said this, the figure of old Zhang Tou gradually faded away, and at the same time, the appearance of the whole room also changed.Some traces appeared, some furniture disappeared, and the whole house gradually returned to the deserted appearance that had been unoccupied for a long time.

Early the next morning, Qu Xiaohe appeared at the door while everyone was waiting anxiously. She didn't explain much, but told the villagers to demolish Lao Zhangtou's house. After that, the old Zhangtou never appeared again.

"Old Zhangtou is long gone, and his soul must have followed the ghost back to the underworld, and what remains there is just a phantom." Qu Xiaohe said, "Just like this Guangyang City, some things have changed. Something that didn't exist reappeared, and although it looked like the same small town, it wasn't the same."

"How did you find out?" Hua Yin asked.

"Because of Liu Yue'e." Chu Lingya had the answer. Thirty years ago, Liu Yue'e was not born yet, and the owner of the house she lived in later was not her, that's why Qu Xiaohe just "knocked on the wrong door".

"It's very simple." Qu Xiaohe said, "Did you see that noodle stall just now? It says 20 years of authentic craftsmanship passed down from the ancestors. In the real world, it says 50 years passed down from the ancestors."

Chu Lingya: "..."

Huayin: "..."

Xie Rujian: "..."

How can it be like this? !

"Of course, the family just now is a strong proof. The surname of the person who lived there 30 years later was Liu, but the owner there just now was surnamed Gu. I went to the Yunlai Inn first after entering the city. There are no traces left by the seal, and then there is the signboard of the noodle stall. There are also some changes in several buildings, but it is not enough to help me completely distinguish the time. In the end, I made a detour to Liu’s house to verify it. Now Only then can we be sure that this is Guangyang 30 years ago." Qu Xiaohe said, "Then the question arises, why is this Guangyang 30 years ago?"

"I opened up the bodies of those so-called victims who were killed by the ghosts. There was no food residue in their stomachs, which proved that they probably died of starvation. In addition to the illusions I encountered just now, I There is a guess that they may have been trapped in the illusion and starved to death. It is either a superficial appearance or an additional blow when they are on the verge of death, rather than a fatal factor."

Chu Lingya got Qu Xiaohe's train of thought.If you just want to trap a person to death with illusions, then any illusions are fine, such as the huts, ruined temples, mansions, or even other various illusions, such as a replica of the fake reality of Guangyang City , so why is this Guangyang 30 years ago?It might not be too noticeable in any other year, but 30 years ago was exactly when the ferret case happened.

However, Huayin didn't seem to know anything about ferret essence, so he asked, "What happened in Guangyang 30 years ago?"

Qu Xiaohe briefly explained what Liu Yue'e said about the ferret spirit, and then said: "It seems that there is one more thing that I think has some clues, and that is the choice of the dead. Thirty years ago, I didn't I know, but looking at it now, it will be more obvious after 30 years..."

Chu Lingya and Xie Rujian thought at the same time that all the dead were people who tried to leave Guangyang.
