Chapter 9 Chapter Seven Music Stone

"Do you know what the EVP phenomenon is?" I knocked on the door of Zhao Yunhan's room early in the morning, and she asked me calmly after listening to me panicking about what happened last night. I didn't know what she wanted to say, so I took a sip of tea and followed her way, "You mean Electronic Voice Phenomena?" "That's right." She licked her lips. "You might hear a voice in the loud white noise of an out-of-tune radio, and you might see a face on a TV's out-of-tune snowy screen. And These are the voices and faces of people who have died! This is EVP."

"It is said that dead people can communicate with the real world through static interference or white noise generated by modern electronic devices to transmit sound or images. It is the most conservative estimate, about seven billion Audio or video electronic equipment exists in families all over the world, and EVP phenomenon may occur in these.” I frowned, “Although in the last two decades, more and more people have begun to believe that The EVP phenomenon, and searching for 'EVP' on Google, you will find many websites about soul tracking organizations, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Brazil, etc., all over the world."

"And many people claim that they have contacted the deceased through the EVP phenomenon, and they use the most common household appliances, and those people even publish the information they captured on the website. These phenomena have been impacting human beings' cognition of life and death, and gradually believe in it. But, what does this have to do with what I encountered last night?" "Actually, we can connect with loved ones who have passed away! And all we have to do is, listen... hear that?" "In 1987, Sean Jackson said." My brow furrowed even tighter. "The question is, what does EVP have to do with me?"

Zhao Yun smiled brightly: "As I mentioned just now, maybe it's a relative of yours who is trying hard to communicate with you." "Fart, just that middle-aged man? I don't even recognize that face..." My words stopped abruptly, as if I had thought of something, I squinted my eyes and asked with an emphasis: "You don't know something, do you?" ?” "How could I know, it's just a guess." She jumped off the bed without changing her expression, "I'm going to wash up, and we will meet in the lobby of the hotel in half an hour. Let's go to the scene together. Really I’m looking forward to it, it’s the first time I’ve been to that kind of country fair.”

I rolled my eyes and stared at her back, but my heart was full of thoughts.This little girl definitely knows something, but the hateful thing is that she doesn't tell me.Hmph, wait and see, whoever we are afraid of, will always be tricked out by me! It seems that women are not born to be punctual animals, at least Zhao Yunhan is not.She said we would meet in half an hour, but I waited a full hour and a half. Waiting for her to finally arrive with a dirty face, I stood up from the sofa silently and walked towards the door. She smiled brightly, took my wrist, and stuck out her tongue cutely: "Why, are you angry? It takes a lot of time for girls to put on makeup. Have you never waited for a girlfriend before?" "I never Girlfriend." I snorted.

She was artificially surprised: "Impossible, you are so handsome and cool, how can there be no girls like you!" Walk. Zhao Yunhan immediately followed up with a cheeky face, "Why, are you talking about your sadness?" At this moment, a small shadow suddenly flew past in front of me, and I stared at it subconsciously until it Disappeared in the distance, but his brows were involuntarily frowned. "What did you see?" Zhao Yunhan followed my line of sight, but found nothing. "Dragonfly." I said calmly. "Dragonflies?" She was puzzled. "This is the countryside, not in the city. What's the fuss about seeing dragonflies?" "Stupid! Do you think dragonflies will appear in February in temperate regions? Let alone Big green-headed dragonfly." I stared blankly into the distance, my brain was confused for some reason, "This kind of dragonfly should not grow wings until the end of April or early summer. Now their larvae are still swimming in a certain pool of water I'm really happy." Zhao Yunhan finally came to his senses, still disapproving, "Now the world's carbon dioxide emissions are so large, and the greenhouse effect began to appear more than ten years ago. The winter is getting less and less cold, and the dragonflies are not on time. It’s normal for a dragonfly to appear.” “Maybe.” I still couldn’t let go, “But I always feel uneasy. And that dragonfly is weird.” “What’s weird?” “Its eyes are crystal clear, Very beautiful, like an emerald, so beautiful that people want to dig it out." Zhao Yunhan stopped, looked at me vigorously, and then pressed her white and soft hands on my forehead.

"You don't have a fever, do you? What you said just now is like a dismemberment maniac lurking in the dark corner of the city." I pushed her hand away, scratched my head, and was speechless for a while.Indeed, it was unbelievable that those words would come out of his own mouth. I don’t know if there is something wrong with me, or there is something wrong with the village itself. As soon as I came back here, I felt something was wrong. Although my senses didn’t find anything, I just vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seemed that something was slowly approaching me... In rural areas, there is usually one game every other day, and there is a big game every week.

Today is a big market, and there are not many pedestrians on the road. After all, it is already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the people who set up the stalls have already gone to occupy their seats.And people who want to buy things also ran early to pick fresh fish, shrimp, lettuce and so on. Zhao Yunhan and I were speechless to each other, thinking about our respective concerns and walking forward slowly.After a long time, she couldn't help breaking the silence: "A Ye, you've been really weird lately." "I know." I answered very simply. "And you are no longer surprised that it's so simple." She hesitated, and then said: "I don't know how to describe it. Let's use an analogy. You know that the person girls like when they fall in love is often not that person." People themselves, but like their own feelings about the goals they have planned, just like a man is lustful, what he likes is his own feelings." "This analogy is too complicated, I don't understand." "I haven't finished yet Let's do another experiment. For example, you see a very beautiful beauty with fair skin, so you really want to touch it. When you close your eyes and touch her hand, you will touch it. Take away the beautiful woman's hand and replace it with a man's hand that is also thin and white, then tell me, how do you feel?" I replied without hesitation: "If I have never touched that beautiful woman's hand However, you will only feel that you are touching the hand of that beautiful woman, and you will feel self-righteous and feel very comfortable." Zhao Yun smiled: "It is absolutely correct! Although the feeling is the same, in fact, what you are touching is some stinky man's. So, if you don’t get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and if you’re not attractive, you get intoxicated. Do you understand this truth? The so-called love is actually the feeling of falling in love and loving, and then you will feel sad and painful for it. , tears, but you are willing to love. Why?" "I see, you mean, the strange things I encountered recently, or the things I saw, are all deceiving myself, I want to see myself, the brain Will you subconsciously issue the command to see the hallucination?" I thought for a while.

Zhao Yunhan shook her head vigorously, "You still don't understand. Alas, forget it, the authorities are obsessed. In fact, when you see a beautiful woman and want to touch her hand, it's not true. You are just touching the feeling you stipulated yourself. That's all." I shrugged my shoulders, "What you said made me even more confused." "It's my fault." She smiled wryly: "I forgot that you are only willing to think logically, and everything that is illogical will be Automatically explain it with some random reasons." "I think you are the one who doesn't understand it." I was very upset, and I didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, and looked up to the distance of the path.Unexpectedly, at a glance, I saw the bank of the Yangma River, and a black and dense human wall surrounded the dock in front of the village's default pier.

What happened again?I looked at Zhao Yunhan suspiciously, and quickly ran in that direction. While desperately passing through the human wall, he worked hard to collect information, and finally figured out the general situation of the matter. It turned out to be a dead person. The name of the deceased was Zhao Fan, and he was twenty-four years old this year.After graduating from high school, I helped my father ferry across the Yangma River for six years.Usually honest, a little bit shy. When it was close to six o'clock yesterday morning, the boat went out, and then the people and the boat disappeared.Just after eight o'clock this morning, the body suddenly floated up from under the wooden shelf at the little pier.

I got into the innermost circle, and finally saw the body.Although it was covered with sackcloth, it was still possible to get a rough look.The man was about 1.7 meters tall, slightly obese, and the rancid river was still flowing all over his body. His right hand stretched out stiffly, as if he wanted to pick something up.There is an irregular blood-red mark on the wrist, which is an obvious corpse spot that will only be formed after suffering a lot of force during his lifetime. Curiously, he uncovered a corner of the sackcloth on the corpse's head, and was kicked out by the nearby villagers just after he glanced at it. Depressed, although I know that they have good intentions, but looking at that vicious look, it seems that I owe them 100 million yuan and haven't paid it back. "He's dead again." Zhao Yunhan looked at the galloping waterway of the Yangma River. I hum absently. "Is the face of the dead all right?" she asked. "It's not good or bad. It's just a little strange." She immediately became interested, "Why do you keep encountering weird things recently? It's so enviable. Let me tell you." "The moment of his death In an instant, there was still a greedy and excited expression on my face. For example, if I suddenly let you know that I won a 50 million jackpot and became rich... Yes, it is your expression now." I pondered: "You Is it strange to say that a person who is about to die has such an expression on his face?" "I'm afraid... for some reason, he fell into the river and drowned in a state of excitement, right?" She hesitated. "No, it's definitely sudden death." I judged, "No matter how excited you are, falling into the river and suffocating to death will go through a very painful process, and your expression will not be what it is now." "In this way, the situation is indeed very serious. Strange." Zhao Yunhan narrowed his eyes, and his long eyelashes glowed softly in the sun, "Then, what do you think?" "There is not enough information, so I can't judge. Only after his autopsy report comes out, I can think about it." We'll talk about it when we get the solution. Otherwise, we'll visit the Corpse Pavilion again tonight." "No!" Zhao Yunhan waved his hands hastily, "Go by yourself, don't go there even if someone dies, it's horrible! ""Spineless." "Hmph, she's a girl, what's the use of having a backbone!" She spoke eloquently. But I was very concerned about the corpse named Zhao Fan.The markings on his wrists were odd, like handprints, but no creature could have that oddly shaped palm.But I just feel familiar, as if I have seen the same thing somewhere.There is also his boat. It is said that the entire Yangma River valley has been searched, but it has not been found so far. After boarding a boat and crossing to the other side, the crowded rural market finally arrived. There are many Chinese people everywhere, especially in rural areas.On this street called the market, the distance of more than 1,200 meters is extremely crowded and it is difficult to move an inch. Zhao Yunhan and I moved forward almost step by step, and were almost suffocated by the crowd. Although the excitement was unbearable, we still had a lot of fun.When you go to the market, you will see many items and customs that have long since disappeared in the city, such as monkey dance.The monkey chaser will stage a very interesting farce for the onlookers, which is very brilliant. There are also many strange stone statues sold in some places, only half a foot high, and the images are almost the same. After asking the boss, I realized that these are all golden dolls. Buying them back and putting them on the stove will keep you safe. Zhao Yunhan and I laughed out loud.Depressed, dare to love the golden doll is still a kitchen god! After tossing and tossing for nearly a whole morning, Zhao Yunhan, the tirelessly curious baby, finally thought of resting.Then we found a cold noodle shop and sat down.I asked for a bowl of ice powder and drank it to the top in one gulp, it was so refreshing. Seeing that the beauties next to me looked very ladylike, I estimated that a bowl of cold noodles would last about ten minutes, so I began to look around boredly with my eyes, and finally stopped at a stall. It was a very ordinary street stall with many stone ornaments and other gadgets on it.These are nothing, what attracted my attention was a flat stone.Its shape is like a cloud, with four round holes on it, and each hole has an opening, forming eight protruding corners, and the whole stone is gray-black. I walked over involuntarily and took the stone in my hand.The cold texture, the surface is not smooth, it seems to be broken.It was thirty centimeters long, fifteen centimeters wide, and six centimeters thick, giving it an eerie appearance. "What is this?" Zhao Yunhan followed. "Eight tone stone." I replied without turning my head. "What is the Eight-tone Stone?" "You don't even know the Eight-tone Stone because you claim to be studying in the Department of Folklore." I snorted. "I'm studying folklore, not archeology, why do I have to know the name of some inexplicable stone!" She twisted my arm angrily. I glared at her, "It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, people used stones to play music. At that time, there was a kind of Shaoyue, and its instruments were often called eight-tone stones. Sound, the so-called eight-tone stone is actually a kind of Lingbi stone. Lingbi stone is a kind of limestone from Qingshi Mountain in Lingbi County, Anhui Province, which is limestone burned with lime. This thing has been used since the Shang Dynasty. About three thousand years ago. At that time, the Lingbi stone was cut into a certain shape and used to beat it to make musical instruments. This is how the eight-tone stone was made." Zhao Yunhan's eyes lit up, "Is this thing very valuable?" I asked Shaking his head: "I don't know the exact age of its manufacture, but it should be imitated later. The real eight-tone stone should have a history of at least three thousand years. But if you think about it, what is this limestone, it is easy Weathering, it is impossible to keep it so complete until now. Even if it is really from the Shang Dynasty, it is a pity that it has been sliced ​​into thin slices and it is not worth much." "Cut, why are you so focused on watching!" She Turning his head in disappointment, he began to look at his own things. I looked at the incomplete eight-tone stone in my hand. This thing should have been broken into at least three pieces, and the one in front of me happened to be in the middle.Holding it in the palm of my hand, there was an inexplicable familiar feeling in my heart, as if I had known each other before. "Boss, where did you get this stone?" I raised my head and asked. The stall owner sized me up and saw that I looked like a student, so he replied with confidence: "A fisherman caught it from the Yangma River with a fishing net. You can see it. You can take it away if you give me some money." After hesitating for a while, I finally bought it.It is estimated that the eight-tone stone fragments have been impacted by the water of the Yangma River for many years, and the cracked water chestnuts have become smooth. There are incomplete five-element characters on the side of it, but I am very fascinated by these characters. "Just, agree, ninety-seven, He Qiao, three. What are these? It's so messy that I can't understand it at all." Zhao Yunhan raised her head to look, and then screamed in a fuss. "I guess there should be a poem written on it, but I don't know what it is." I thought hard, "But I always feel that I should know, and this stone is very familiar to me. At a certain time, I should Touched it!" "That's why you bought it?" "Mostly because of this, although I don't quite understand it. But I'm afraid this stone has some kind of connection with me before I was five and a half years old. "You're talking too mysteriously." Zhao Yunhan curled her lips, "Someone also said that women are the most incomprehensible animals. I saw someone's recent behavior, which is even more incomprehensible than women." I smiled awkwardly, " You think I think, these days I know that my mental state is not normal. But it is undeniable that after I came to this ghost place, I did encounter many weird things. Sometimes I always think, Is it related to the memory that I lost when I was five and a half years old." Zhao Yun held my arm, "Well, I will forcefully do a good deed. Specifically, how long did you lose? memories?" "It's been half a year for sure. Although I don't remember everything before the age of four, I can still think of a lot of things that are deeply memorable. For example, the apple that my sister snatched from me is still alive. She hit me with a belt, and my forehead was bleeding profusely or something..." "Stop it, stop it! It sounds like you're complaining one-sidedly. You can't talk about anything else!" "What else? In addition, the so-called deep memory is either great joy or great sorrow. Of course, children can't distinguish between great joy and great sorrow, but only remember the shadow of being hurt." Zhao Yunhan covered her forehead forcefully, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen Go on. When did your family move to Yangma Village?" "When I was four years old." "That is to say, your family lived in Yangma Village for more than a year until you were five and a half years old. Just moved away?" "Theoretically, that's the case. What I lost was the memory of the last six months in Yangma Village. The rest, because I was a child, and the memory didn't have any deep places or shadows, just followed Time forgot," I recalled. "Could it be that you forgot about the vacancy in the memory of those six months?" She guessed. I immediately shook my head, "As soon as I heard it, I know that you are the lucky one who came out of adversity and never lost a certain memory. You know, from the perspective of the authorities, forgetting and losing are two different things." Feeling. The former will not trigger the slightest emotion, but the latter will make people feel terrified, and even want to try their best to get that memory back." Zhao Yunhan silently held my arm even tighter, "Then, Are you in pain for so many years? Because of memory loss.” “Rarely. I’m an optimist, and I’m very busy.” I smiled and said, “It’s just that I’ve suddenly become very concerned about the past few days when I’ve returned to Yangma Village. Wake up, I don’t know why!” “Existence is reasonable, there must be some factors that cause your uneasiness, but we don’t know that’s all.” She looked into the distance, her voice trembling faintly, as if she understood something. "A Ye, usually in the plots of horror movies, there are several specific patterns about amnesia. Maybe your amnesia is like a scene in some third-rate movies, because you owe someone or make a promise to someone, now That person turned into a ghost and came to collect debts from you!" I pulled my hand out of her arms with all my strength, and said disdainfully: "You said it was a third-rate movie, how could such a thing happen in reality? By the way, digital Did you bring the camera..." When I mentioned the camera, my body froze for a moment, and I shouted at Zhao Yunhan in a panic: "Let's go back to the hotel, hurry up!" "What are you crazy about?" She Puzzled and followed me forward. Without turning my head, I said: "I thought of a very important thing. The red mark on Zhao Fan's hand, damn it, I didn't remember it long ago. Jade Emperor, it's incredible!"
