Letter from Ziteng Incense Candle Shop

Lao Zhang told me that the jar was originally placed in the lowest level of hell.When the security system was paralyzed, it was broken into and the contents inside were stolen.

"What's in it?"

"It's said to be a soul-sealing pot, of course it's a soul. But the souls at the bottom are all vicious ghosts. It must be very scary to seal it at the bottom, and even the ghost messengers find it difficult."

How could anyone want to steal something like this.No, it should be said that the thief was too daring to go to hell to steal things.

"I said you should hurry up and make a new one for them. Otherwise, we will be in trouble." Lao Zhang seems to be very jealous of the things in the jar, and he doesn't want to catch them at all.

"If I can do it, I don't need to find you." I picked up a piece of porcelain, which looked nothing special, "Can't I ask other masters to do it?"

"I don't think it can be made. I heard that this thing was made by a master craftsman, and ordinary craftsmen can't make it." Lao Zhang flipped through the tiles, picked up one of them, "Look, there are his imprint."

It was the lid of the jar, and there was a pattern engraved in the crescent moon, which was quite delicate.

"The appearance is not important, you just need to make one with the same effect."

"Nonsense!" Are all union members the same?It's so easy to say, and you don't do it yourself.

After Lao Zhang left, I studied each tile seriously.I even used all-purpose glue to put the pieces together, but unfortunately some of the pieces were too small, and I'm not a professional, so I couldn't put them together completely.

Just like the one in the photo, it is a white-glazed porcelain jar with a narrow mouth and a wide middle, with no patterns on it.Nothing special really.Except for the strange pattern engraved on the inside of the bottom.

A pentagram composed of five small circles, but there are complicated patterns and characters inside.Definitely can't do it with my technique.I developed the pattern, hoping to engrave it with the help of a machine.

When I was picking up the pieces, I found that there was actually a mark inside the broken black wooden box.It's not the crescent moon on the porcelain pot, but three neat horizontal lines.Simple and atmospheric, it is not the same as the fine lines of the meniscus.

Is it the imprint of another founder?Why make a wooden box especially for the jar?

I don't know what kind of wood the box is made of, it's harder than metal.I scraped vigorously with a knife, and there was no trace on it.Burning with fire is even more ineffective.

This box is really powerful. I don't know what tool the creator used to make it.And what method did the person who destroyed it use?

Without a clue, I had to drop what I had and go out to deliver.By the way, look around to see if there is a shop that teaches people how to make ceramics.

The family who placed the order happened to be in the villa area I passed by last night.Rich people are extravagant when they sell. In addition to the payment for the goods, they also paid a considerable amount of red envelopes.

When I went back, I saw three police cars parked in front of a villa.The yellow line was also pulled up, and there were reporters wandering outside.When I found Uncle Lin and Zhou Zheng coming out of the villa, I knew there was another big case.

Men in uniform carried black body bags from the villa to the car.The family members followed behind, crying and crying.But what I find strange is that not only are there no ghosts around here, but there is not even a Piao.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a hand was on my shoulder.Turning around, he saw a man with narrowed eyes and braided hair.The man showed his press card, "I'm Hu Li, a reporter from Zero Daily, and I want to ask you a few questions."

My heart moved, isn't Zero Daily that kind of newspaper?But I just want to read the reports, and I don't want to be the one being reported.

"You can find someone else. I was just passing by and don't know what happened here."

But the hand on the shoulder didn't let go, "Don't rush to go yet. We saw you passing here last night from the camera on this road."

After he said this, I realized that this was the place where I saw soldier A Piao last night.It can't be such a coincidence...

At this time, Uncle Lin found me and talked to Zhou Zheng who was next to me.The ice cube stared at me with terrifying eyes.The two came over.

I thought to myself, it's over now, and it must be no good to catch up with them.However, if I run away, will I be suspected of being a guilty conscience?

"Why are you here?"

"The delivery is just passing by."

"What were you doing around here between 08:30 and [-] o'clock last night?" Zhou Zheng took out his notebook and glared at me sternly. The pressure was unbearable.

"What do you mean?"

"You'd better answer honestly. The cameras here caught you wandering around here at 45:[-] last night."

"Boss, don't do this, it will scare the children." Uncle Lin patted me on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, just answer honestly. It will be fine."

What do you mean by 'nothing's going to happen', it's no wonder that you have nothing to do with it.Of course I dare not complain in front of them.Answer honestly: "I went to have dinner after I came out of the hospital yesterday, and then took a shortcut to go home and pass by here."

"Did you see any suspicious people or things?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Ah Piao is not a human being.I shook my head, "No."

"Then why did you hide in the alley?"

As soon as he looked up, he met Zhou Zheng's eyes.Under the sunlight, his pupils were light brown, as sharp as a sharp sword, seeming to be able to cut through all falsehoods.

Under this kind of sight, I lowered my head guiltily, "That... because I saw..."

Before I could finish speaking, he glanced at the reporter next to him who was recording, and said first: "Pay attention to your words, I won't believe the tricks."

What the hell, you let people talk about it again.This crazy face!

"I... I'm in a hurry, so I hid in the alley for convenience..." My face was burning, and I heard a low smile from above my head, and I was greeting the eighteenth generation of Zhou Zheng's ancestors in my heart.

"You come with us to make a record." Zhou Zheng grabbed my arm and pushed me into the car without any explanation.

"It's all about you! I lost all my reputation! You may also be fined, and you will be responsible!" As soon as he got into the car, I started to make trouble.

"No problem." Zhou Zheng put on his seat belt and said while reversing the car: "The premise is that you don't wear men's clothes anymore. I like girls in skirts."

"I'm a man!" This man was really stubborn.

As the car drove away from the villa, I caught a glimpse of two figures in the alley where I hid yesterday.It seems to be two people in military uniforms, one of whom is followed by two little ghosts.

"what happened?"

Zhou Zheng's voice made me turn around, "No...it's nothing." Like the last case, the two soldiers had also been to the scene.

When I arrived at the police station, they did not give me a record, but took me to the analysis room.A video was played on the computer for me to watch.

That was a clip captured by CCTV in the villa area.Can clearly see me passing that part of the road last night.Halfway there, he suddenly flashed into a side alley.Then something horrifying happened.A transparent shadow came out of the gate of the house and slowly drifted across the road.It can even be seen holding a long gun.

"The deceased died between 08:30 and [-]:[-] last night. The burglar alarm in the house did not go off, and the doors and windows were not damaged in any way. We could not detect any signs of intrusion."

"Then you believe that 'that' kills people?" I looked at Zhou Zheng uncertainly.The latter also looked at me and said word by word: "Of course I don't believe it."

He is fucking, then let me see what this passage means.It's amazing to be able to deceive yourself to such an extent.

"The cause of death was sudden cardiac death. The family insisted on reporting that it was murder. But if there is no evidence to prove that it was homicide, it can only be regarded as an accident."

He pulled up a chair and sat down, then patted the chair next to him. "Did you hear any strange noises or anything else of note?"

Although Zhou Zheng didn't admit to A Piao and the like, he must have asked me this question because he thought the case was suspicious.

I thought for a while and said, "Singing."

"Song? What song?"

"That's the song." I hummed a part of what I heard at the time.It should be a very old song, I have never heard of it.It's just that the melody reveals a heart-wrenching sadness, which makes people remember unconsciously.

Zhou Zheng and Uncle Lin looked at each other, and Uncle Lin asked, "Are you sure?"

I nodded, and the latter said, "This is weird."

"What's weird?"

"This song is relatively old, and it was popular in a very special era, and basically young people can't sing it." Uncle Lin said.

"What song is it from?" Although I have never heard it.

""On the Songhua River", this song was sung almost all over the north at that time. My grandpa used to hum it often."

That soldier, A Piao, is indeed a heroic soul.But something seems wrong.I didn't ask any more questions, and I could go home after taking another record.

I read the newspaper carefully, even the advertisements, but found nothing.Instead, two bizarre rumors of accidents were discovered on the website's forum.

The victim was an import trader and an expert in antique appraisal.Both had strange scars on their bodies, but they were not fatal.The antique appraisal expert did not die on the spot, but was in a coma after being sent to the hospital.The ghost of a soldier was seen near the scene.

"What are you looking at?"

"Wow~~~" My cousin suddenly blew in my ear, which made me jump up in fright. "You're scary!"

"So I was watching ghost stories. Haven't you seen enough?" My cousin just came back from work, took a shower and was about to go to bed.

He sat next to me and flipped through the news on the forum.He was bathed in cold water, and his body was cool, so I just leaned on his shoulder and watched him turn over the jar. The fresh fragrance of his bath liquid filled my breath, which made people feel calm.Cousin is indeed of the healing department.

"Isn't this the patient who was sent the day before yesterday?"

My cousin's words brought me back to my senses, "What patient?"

"It's the patient in the special care unit, you saw it too." My cousin pointed the mouse at the description of the victim in the forum, "There were bullet holes in his body, but he was not killed by a gun. The patient was also shot. Three shots, but there was no bullet in the bullet hole, the cause of the coma was cardiac shock. But the patient did not have heart disease at first.”

I remembered that person's soul was locked away by black and white impermanence, and he would die sooner or later.

"How is the patient now?"

"It passed away this morning." The cousin shrugged and began to read other gossip news.

"Cousin, why do soldiers want to kill people?" Lao Zhang said that ordinary A Piao has a reason for killing people.Because hurting people will make their sins deeper, even if they get a license from the underworld, they must pay a high price.And after arriving in the underworld, you will have to suffer more to have a chance to be reincarnated, and you may not be able to reincarnate as a human being after several reincarnations.

Most of A Piao's murders are for revenge.However, the soldier had been dead for a long time, so he shouldn't have any grudges against the victims.

"Of course it's to defend the country." My cousin said without thinking, "But that's not called killing, it's called killing the enemy."

I found that the screen has jumped to the military novel website, cousin, it is immoral to grab the computer like this. >_
