Chapter 6 Chapter Five: The Legend of the Shadow Corpse

Dim lights, dusty floors, dilapidated furniture... everything in the Security Council exudes a dilapidated and lazy atmosphere.There are two people on duty here, one of them is an old man in his fifties who is sleeping on a dilapidated leather sofa, and the other is a young man in his early twenties who is watching a boring program on TV and yawning constantly. As soon as I explained my purpose to the young man who called himself Ah Zhong, he asked with a pale face, "What? You chased me from the cemetery!" "Yeah, what's the problem?" Zhen Zhen asked puzzled. Ah Zhong's face was ugly, and his body trembled slightly: "That's terrible, people in our village will never go near the cemetery at night."

Zhen Zhen's curiosity seemed to be aroused, and she asked eagerly, "Why? Is there anything weird in the cemetery?" "There, there..." Ah Zhong's mouth trembled, and it took him a while to say, "There are zombies over there!" "Zombie? Is there really such a thing in the world?" Zhen Zhen trembled unconsciously. "What are you arguing about?" The sound of our conversation woke up the sleeping old man. "Uncle Ji, they are the police..." Ah Zhong briefly told this old man named Uncle Ji about our conversation just now. After Uncle Ji knew that we found a mysterious figure in the cemetery, his face turned pale, and he looked at us with wide eyes. After a while, he asked: "Did you really see the figure in the cemetery?" After getting affirmation After the answer, he said: "Impossible, the cemetery has been abandoned for more than ten years, how can there still be zombies?"

I frowned: "So, there were really zombies before?" "That was more than ten years ago..." Uncle Ji lit a cigarette, and his thin body tremblingly told us about the abandonment of the cemetery—— There is a guy named Chen Qiang in our village. His uncle Chen Gui is the head of the village, so he contracted a big fish pond at a very low price.It's the big pond fish at the entrance of the village. You should have seen it when you ran over from the cemetery!The reason why our village is called Tangzai Village is because of this big fish pond. Because of the support of the village head, Chen Qiang's fish pond is running smoothly.After a few years, he made a lot of money, bought cars and built buildings, and invited the whole village to drink wedding wine when he married his wife.However, he has only been prosperous for the past few years. Ever since their old man was buried, there have been problems in the fish pond.

His fish pond was originally full of fish, so many that it was almost squeezed out of the fish pond.However, one day when he fished the fish out of the water, he found that the fish in the fish pond were inexplicably much less.At the beginning, he suspected that the fish pond was polluted, or that there was an infectious disease that caused the fish to die.But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong. The fish would definitely float to the surface when it died, but he didn't see this situation.What's more, the fish he caught were very vigorous, and there was no sign of illness at all.

Therefore, he wondered if someone would come to steal the fish at night. He specially invited people to watch the night in the fish pond, and he didn't find anyone stealing fish after watching for a month.However, when he went into the water to check the number of fish, he found that it was much less than before.He thought it might be because the night watchman was lazy and didn't help him keep an eye on the fish pond, but he changed several times in a row, and the situation remained the same.Every time he went into the water to check, he felt that there were obviously fewer fish in the pond.

Later, he simply went to watch the night by himself, but no one was found stealing the fish, but the number of fish was still decreasing.Although he kept replenishing fry, the fish pond was like a bottomless pit, no matter how stuffed it was, it couldn't be filled, and the harvest dropped by 60 to 70% compared to before. He thought about it and couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he had to spend money to hire a few people with rich experience in fish farming to help find the reason, but he couldn't find out the problem after all. Tangzai Village is such a place the size of a palm, and the strange thing about the fish pond has lasted for two or three years, and it has already spread among the villagers. Everyone suspects that there is some monster hidden in the fish pond.I was afraid that the monster would eat up all the fish in the fish pond that day, and maybe it would come out to eat people, which scared everyone into panic.

Chen Gui was also afraid that this matter would lead to big troubles and affect his official position sooner or later, so he asked Chen Qiang to simply drain the pond, sell all the remaining fish that could be sold, and replace them with new fry for rearing. Chen Qiang had exhausted all methods at that time, but he still couldn't find out what was wrong with the fish pond, so he had to follow Chen Gui's order to drain the pond to sell the remaining fish, and then start breeding again.He thought that there would be no more problems in this way, but the number of new fry had begun to decrease before they were raised.It took less than a month for a batch of fish fry to be put into the fish pond, and all of them disappeared. Two batches of fish fry were put into the fish pond one after another, and the result was the same.

Although the contract price was so low that it was almost free, the fish fry had to be bought, and if this continued, it would be a waste of money sooner or later.Just when Chen Qiang was about to give up contracting the fish pond, he suddenly remembered that the fish pond seemed to have problems not long after the old man passed away. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the Feng Shui of the family cemetery? He told Chen Gui this idea, and Chen Gui also felt that this matter was not simple, and the villagers had already talked about the strange things in the fish pond, as the village head, he had to do something to appease people.

In order to calm down the matter, Chen Gui invited a Feng Shui master to check the Feng Shui of the cemetery with all the men in the family and some villagers.I was already working in the Security Council at that time, so I was also called to be a follower. As soon as the Feng Shui master entered the cemetery, he felt that something was wrong, and walked around the cemetery with a compass. Chen Gui asked him what was going on, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head constantly.Later, he walked to the grave of the old man and fiddled with the compass for a long time before he said: "No, no, who is so wicked and ruined the atmosphere here. You guys come here immediately with tools, and take the compass at noon. Dig this grave."

Digging a grave is no small matter, of course Chen Gui didn't dare to agree easily, so he quickly asked what was going on?The feng shui master didn't explain anything, he just said that the old man's body must be dug out immediately, otherwise there will be a big mess, and the strange thing in the fish pond is just the beginning, and if you don't do it, you don't know what big troubles will come. Seeing that the feng shui master, who had always looked calm before, was sweating profusely from nervousness, Chen Gui couldn't help becoming anxious, and immediately asked me and other security team members to find tools to dig up the old man's grave.

At the beginning, we didn't know what the feng shui master was doing. We thought he was just playing tricks and trying to get more money.But the moment we opened the coffin lid, we were all petrified. The old man has been buried for three or four years, but not only has his body not rotted at all, but his nails have grown long and his hair has grown a lot. What's even more frightening is that his eyes are still half-open, looking like Like a living person lying in a coffin, it feels like it will jump out and bite at any time. I was petrified on the spot, and if it wasn't for a guy pulling me, I wouldn't have retreated. After we all scattered around, but Chen Gui's grandson didn't know whether he had taken the wrong medicine or was a ghost, so he ran to the front of the coffin and called "Grandpa". When he called out, the old man actually sat up! Surrounded by tall banyan trees, the cemetery has a gloomy feeling even at noon, and the sitting of the old man scared us out of our courage. If it was night, someone would definitely pee their pants.A person who has been dead for three or four years can still sit up. Who knows if he will really jump out and bite us.Most of the people in the company were scared away. Although I wanted to run too, my fucking legs were so weak that I couldn't run even if I wanted to. The feng shui master had some real skills, rushed forward and pulled Chen Gui's grandson behind him, took out a Taoist talisman from his pocket, pasted it on the old man's forehead, pressed his forehead and pressed him down. Later, the Feng Shui master told us that the cemetery had been tampered with, destroying the atmosphere of the earth and turning it into a place for raising corpses.After the old man was buried, not only did the corpse not decompose, but it also continuously absorbed the surrounding earth energy and became a "shadow corpse".The reason why the fish in the fish pond disappeared inexplicably was "sucked" by him. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If a few more days pass, the old man's eyes will open wider and wider, and when they are fully opened, the eyeballs will be able to rotate, and after a while, they will break out of the ground and come out to harm people everywhere, even harming one party.Originally, under the current situation, he was still unable to move, but just now Chen Gui's grandson vented his yang energy in front of the coffin, and he sat up following the yang energy. The feng shui master asked Chen Gui to cremate the old man's body on the spot, and also ordered that all other corpses in the cemetery be dug up immediately and moved to another place for burial. This cemetery will not be able to bury any corpses in the future. At that time, Chen Gui was so frightened that he couldn't see his soul. He did everything he said, not only cremated the old man's body immediately, but also turned the whole cemetery upside down, dug up all the remains of his ancestors and moved them to the grave overnight. . Afterwards, the feng shui master asked Chen Gui to hang many dead cats on the banyan trees on both sides of the entrance of the cemetery, and sprinkled dog blood all over the place.He said that "a dead cat hangs from a tree, and a dead dog follows the water" can reassure the soul and seal the tomb. After the tomb is sealed, the cemetery will be a world of wandering spirits and ghosts, and strangers should not set foot here.Especially during the period from one to three in the morning, whoever enters the cemetery will be unlucky. Since then, the Chen family cemetery has been abandoned, and people in our village will not go there even during the daytime... After hearing about the abandonment of the cemetery, I had several questions in my mind, so I asked Uncle Ji one by one: "As far as I know, compulsory cremation has been practiced locally for more than 20 years. Why can the old man still be buried?" "This is what the old man asked for. Cough..." Uncle Ji drank a sip of tea probably because he talked too much and his throat was dry and coughed. Tradition, during his lifetime, he repeatedly emphasized that he must be buried after death. He was afraid that cremation would burn him out of his wits. Chen Gui is also a bit filial, and he used a lot of connections and money. Can be buried. Unexpectedly, this actually harmed my relatives." "Who tampered with the cemetery?" This is the second question. "We often talk about this issue when we are bragging." Uncle Ji smiled, but immediately put away his smile, "Although Chen Gui is the village head, he usually gets along with us quite well, and his popularity is pretty good. Who has offended anyone. If anyone is going to harm him, I think Feng Gang is probably the only one." "Who is this Feng Gang?" "He is in business, and he has some money in his pocket." Uncle Ji took another sip of tea, "He ran for the village head with Chen Gui before, because Chen Gui's family is prosperous and popular, and the village Many people support him, and he is almost certain to be elected. However, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In order to be elected as the village chief, he did not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of yuan in treats and gifts. Almost every household in the village has Not to be outdone, Chen Gui also gave the villagers treats and gifts, and after spending a lot of money, he finally became the village head. He may have kept a grudge because he spent tens of thousands of dollars, so he secretly found someone to visit the tomb Let's do it!" "This guy is really good. He used third-rate methods first. He couldn't be elected as the village chief and secretly touched his family's ancestral grave." Zhen Zhen said angrily. Uncle Ji nodded and said: "Maybe it's retribution, he didn't have a good time later. The Feng Shui master had already said that doing this kind of thing is the most detrimental to Yin, and told Liu Gui not to look for people who tampered with in the cemetery, because God himself I will clean him up. Ever since the cemetery was abandoned, Feng Gang’s business started to go wrong, and he lost everything if he didn’t have any money in two years. Later, he got liver cancer and died five or six years ago.” "What happened to the unknown corpse? I heard that there are many unknown corpses buried in the cemetery?" This was originally my third question, but Zhenzhen asked it for me. Uncle Ji frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, it should be the students from the Academy of Fine Arts who told you!" Zhen Zhen and I nodded together, and he said: "A few years ago, there was indeed a fatality there. At that time, a student took a shortcut and returned to the Academy of Fine Arts from near the cemetery. On the way, he was robbed by two gangsters. The student also He was not a good person to provoke. He got into a fight with the punks and was stabbed a few times before he died. The punks were afraid that something would happen, so they threw the body near the cemetery, and then ran to other provinces. Fortunately, the two punks didn't take the body Throw it into the cemetery, otherwise there may be even more trouble. After this case is solved by your police, we are afraid that there will be accidents among students, so we asked the school leaders to lie to them and say that bandits often come and go on this road , not only robbed but also murdered, the cemetery was full of corpses of victims. Later, this matter spread among the students, and the rumors became more and more outrageous, saying that the cemetery is a holy place for hiding corpses. Bury it in. But it doesn’t matter, anyway, we just don’t want students to take that path, so we don’t bother to clarify.” If such a terrible thing really happened in Chen's cemetery, then would the figure we see be Shen Tingyue who has become a "shady corpse"? Perhaps, we should go to the forensic office, Fang Shu's body may provide us with some clues.
