Boss Shen's Funeral Shop

Shen Jing looked at the current time, then at Baili who was standing beside him, and asked with a dazed expression, "Why?"

Baili turned his head to take a look at Shen Jing, then walked straight to the tomb pavilion next to him, sat down on the bench, pointed to the plaque on the tomb pavilion and said, "Look for yourself."

Shen Jing followed behind Baili step by step. Seeing that Baili was thinking about the plaque, he took a photo of the plaque with his mobile phone. Because he was standing inside the pavilion, he simply went outside again and went up. I looked at it, but didn't find anything different from the daytime.

"Behind the plaque," said Baili who was sitting in the pavilion.

Shen Jing shone the light on Baili's side, and shook Baili's eyes. Taking advantage of this time, he secretly rolled his eyes, and then walked into the pavilion again, holding his mobile phone and looking behind the defecation.

At first, Shen Jing didn't see anything, but when he put on his crooked glasses and looked carefully, he finally found something wrong.

On the back of the plaque, there are densely packed small characters. At first glance, I thought it was ants, because the plaque was black, and there was no color painted on it. Shen Jing squinted his eyes to see clearly, it turned out to be the names of each. The seniority is also noted below the name.

"That's not a plaque at all, but a family tree," Baili, who was sitting, said lightly at this moment.

"Genealogy?" Shen Jing looked back, looking very puzzled, and asked, "Why is the genealogy in such a place, and why is it engraved in such a hidden place?"

"Of course it's because this is..." Baili looked up at Shen Jing, because he was sitting inside, and Shen Jing's cell phone was facing out, so Shen Jing didn't see his expression clearly.

"Because this is a cemetery, this pavilion is a tomb pavilion, this plaque is a family tree, and this copper bell is a requiem bell," he said, pointing to the copper bell in Shen Jing's hand.

"Huh?" Shen Jing was a little unresponsive, he looked at the copper bell in his hand and didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Shen Jing approaching him, Baili frowned involuntarily, and glanced at Baili's dirty face due to nosebleed with some disgust, but Xu Shi explained to Shen Jing.

"Do you know why there are so many ghosts here?" Baili turned his head to look at Shen Jing, and without waiting for Shen Jing's answer, he continued, "Because those stone pagodas are not landscapes, but cemeteries. , this place is actually a cemetery, and there is a dead person in every stone tower."

Shen Jing was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He turned his head and looked in the woods. Although there were only a few stone pagodas in sight, he knew that the more he went up, the more stone pagodas became, and they were almost connected together. Don't say anything. There are also hundreds of seats.

After Shen Jing thought about it, he thought of the old man Wang who guided him to find Tour Guide Wang. He thought about the old man Wang who was very restless at the beginning, and the old man Wang who seemed very rigid just now. He didn't know why, a kind of Horrible thoughts swirled in his mind.

"Why are their tombs shaped like this?" Shen Jing looked at the nearest small stone pagoda, which seemed to be only about 1.5 meters away, and it was a relatively short stone pagoda.

Baili raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Jing's expression, somehow felt a little funny, tapped his finger on the pavilion pillar and said, "Have you ever heard of abandoning the old?"

"Abandon the old?" Shen Jing repeated, this word is not a good word at first sight.

Baili nodded, and then slowly talked about the source of abandoning the old for Shen Jing.

"Abandoning the old is a very ancient culture. No matter what age it is, such things happen, especially in the face of natural and man-made disasters. People in the past did not have such a strong ability to survive. In order to make more life, so many people choose to abandon the old."

Bailixu pointed to the stone pagodas in the woods, some of them were clearly visible, while others couldn't even be seen in shape, and continued.

"Strictly speaking, abandoning the old is also a consequence of natural selection. Children have tenacious vitality, while the elderly are already old. In ancient times, many elderly people would choose to abandon themselves for the sake of their relatives. The reason why they climbed the cliffs was to move. If you can’t survive, you will die in the cave soon.”

"Later, when natural disasters and man-made disasters come, and there are old people who understand righteousness in the family, the old people will do this by themselves. If the old people don't want to die, and there are children in the family who want to save some food, these children will send the old people to the hospital. There is only a cave the size of a person, leaving objects that can make the old man commit suicide, and then leave directly, no longer care about the old man's life or death."

Hearing this, Shen Jing frowned fiercely, what a frenzied thing this was, he couldn't even imagine the old man's mood at that time, what kind of despair it was to be sent to a dead end by his own children.

Bailiguang knew what Shen Jing was thinking just by looking at Shen Jing's expression, but he didn't stop Shen Jing from thinking wildly, because it was a fact that happened.

"Later, after countless years of evolution, this kind of abandoned old culture became what it is today. Look at those stone towers, are they very delicate? They were built with people inside, and then completely sealed and left behind. Unexpectedly But it has become a landscape for people to visit.”

Shen Jing didn't know what expression he should put on, he frowned tightly, and then asked: "Could it be that all the pieces here are filled with living people?"

"Of course not." Baili immediately shook his head to deny Shen Jing's words, and said, "With the development of society, this kind of abandonment of the old will never happen again. The architectural knowledge here is based on the previous tradition. People’s ashes are just built into it, even if people are really built into it alive, it should be found by walking to the top of the mountain. Looking at the time, it was 200 years ago.”

Hearing this, Shen Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine that if he encountered someone being trapped alive again, then he wouldn't be standing here again.

"But..." Baili hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the distance, and that direction was where Old Man Wang's stone pagoda was.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jing asked upon seeing this.

"No, nothing," Baili shook his head.

Baili nodded, changed the topic, and asked the original question: "But what does this have to do with my not being able to go back?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Baili's expression was still calm, and that night was probably when he talked the most, and he said again: "This is a cemetery. Quite a few times."

Baili turned his head to look at Shen Jing's ankle and said, "Did you feel anything strange when you came here during the day? For example, you felt cold all over, and saw some strange things?"

Shen Jing nodded immediately, this is indeed true, during the day he just walked halfway, he felt that his body was abnormally cold, and he did see the grimace on the photo, even because he was pushed back by something, so He just fell down the steps.

"You have a special physique and are very sensitive to Yin Qi. This place is fine during the day, but the Yin Qi is at its peak at night. In addition, many ghosts here have not been reincarnated, and they have accumulated a lot of Yin Qi. Let alone you With a special constitution, even if I want to go out, I will be blocked by Yin Qi."

"What do you mean?" Shen Jing said that he didn't understand.

Baili glanced at Shen Jing, and the disgust inside was even more undisguised. He said: "This place claims to be an aura, and it is like forming a unique enchantment. When the yin energy is at its peak at night, as long as it is a ghost Or people with special constitutions will be blocked, unable to get in or out."

"Then Tour Guide..." Shen Jing was puzzled.

"He's just an ordinary person. Have you ever heard of the fact that a person has three fires, so he naturally has them too. Yin Qi won't stop him because of the thick aura on his body," Baili explained to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing frowned, "I'm just an ordinary person! I should also have three fires! Besides, why can't you get out? Don't you have three fires?"

Baili turned his head to look at Shen Jing, glanced at Shen Jing's shoulders and head, shook his head slightly and said, "Your three fires have long been extinguished, but I am different from ordinary people, so you don't have three fires." Set fire, and I didn't."

In fact, this is also the point of Baili's doubts. Normal people have three fires, and it is more difficult to put out one than two. If all three are extinguished, it means that the person is dead. However, Shen Jing's three The fire was extinguished, but he was still alive and well.

Of course, Shen Jing didn't have those three fires from the very beginning, just like when Baili first met him, Shen Jing also had three fires, but it depends on when he sees Shen Jing here, Shen Jing's three fires have all been extinguished, but Shen Jing is still alive, which is a very strange thing.

"I didn't..." Shen Jing touched his shoulder, looked at Baili with distrust, and said, "You can't be lying to me!"

"I'm not that boring," Baili said indifferently, because of Shen Jing's distrust, he felt some displeasure in his heart, and he continued: "If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself. It will only be invaded by the cause, and then get lost in this mountain forest."

Shen Jing was speechless, he didn't want to try at all, he was really lost, what should he do?

Shen Jing sat on the bench without speaking, and leaned against the backrest with his body stretched out. Then he turned his head to look at Baili, only to see that Baili was still sitting upright, completely undisturbed by the surrounding environment.

Involuntarily smelling the dream, Shen Jing pursed his lips. He actually didn't want to admit that he had unreasonable thoughts about Baili, but the dream was unexpectedly very real. I can't forget it either.

"You can manage the flashlight of your mobile phone, it will waste electricity," Baili reminded softly without looking at Shen Jing.

"Well, good," Shen Jing obediently turned off the phone.

The only light source disappeared, and the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, Shen Jing was not used to it.

"The ghosts here are already in my hands, and they will disperse after dawn. As long as you wait until then, you won't feel cold when you come here again," Baili said.

"Well," Shen Jing nodded, not knowing what to say.

Baili didn't speak any more, he looked into the distance with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, although the surroundings were still very cold, but without the disturbance of ghosts, Shen Jing was already much better, even a little drowsy.

Baili was still sitting on the spot, he closed his eyes slightly, his breath was very even, if it wasn't for his hand moving from time to time, it would even make people think that he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, Baili felt his shoulders sink, and when he looked sideways, he found that Shen Jing had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulders.
