I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 53: Strange Grave, Soul Resurrection

"The first seven souls..."

The document in Zhao Qi's hand is the record of the local prosecutor's inquiry of the informant after receiving the report.

The report was made by a villager named Li Bikang. During the questioning process, the villager said that his son drowned in the river outside the village due to an accident.

The day of reporting to the police was what is commonly known as the first seven days.

According to the folk custom, once the coffin shed is built, it can take as short as seven days and as long as 49 days before it can be dismantled.

Therefore, on the same day, Li Bikang took his wife to burn paper and incense for his son in the mourning hall, expressing his lovesickness, but unexpectedly, his drowned son suddenly appeared at the door of his house.

Then the whole body was wet, dripping water continuously.

The missing wife hugged her son, but fell to the ground within a few seconds.

He quickly stepped forward to pick up his wife, while his son turned and disappeared at the door.

Li Bikang rushed his wife to the hospital, but to this day, his wife remains in a coma, and doctors are helpless.

After the local investigation department intervened in the investigation, the investigators soon discovered something strange.

First of all, just a few days after Li Bikang's son was buried, his grave was already covered with weeds, and there was even a sapling growing in the weeds.

The second is that since the first seven days, Li Bikang has dreamed of his drowned son every night.

Sometimes his son lingered at the door, and sometimes he would stand directly beside the bed, obviously talking about something all the time, but Li Bikang couldn't remember it every time he woke up.

Li Bikang felt that his son might be unwilling or unfulfilled, so he burned paper money every day by the river where he drowned.

The villagers all said that Li Bikang's condition was getting worse and worse, and he had even started to go crazy.

The investigation by the Department of Criminal Prosecutions was fruitless, so the matter could only be reported to the State Secretariat as a strange case.

The State Secret Office realized that the matter was not simple, so it reported it to a higher level, and finally passed it to Qin Tianjian.

Looking at the document in his hand, Zhao Qi also realized that there were many things that were wrong.

But what happened in the end, I am afraid that only when we arrive at the scene can we investigate clearly.

……

As Zhao Qi turned on the action recorder, a picture finally appeared on the big screen in the conference room of the Research Institute.

All the experts and professors present could see clearly the documents that Zhao Qi could see.

For this document, everyone's first feeling is strange.

If it weren't for the large chapter of the criminal justice on this document, I'm afraid people can't help but wonder if this is some kind of weird folk story that is circulating.

"The first seven souls, the folks have always said this, but I have devoted myself to the study of folk customs for more than 20 years, and there has never been any confirmation of this matter."

The metaphysics research expert of the Academy of Social Sciences frowned and said in thought.

On the other side, the president of the Jinjun University Traditional Culture Research Association also nodded immediately:

"So this Mr. Zhao, is he going to investigate this matter?

But where do we start looking into this kind of thing? "

An old man sitting in the back looked a little sloppy, dressed in common clothes, and played with Wenwan in his hands. As soon as he opened his mouth, he could tell that he was from Laolong County.

"You experts are all dead-headed. Apart from knowing some knowledge from books and folk theories, you know nothing."

All of you here are high-level intellectuals in various fields. Who has heard such nonsense that is full of quackery?

So everyone followed the sound and looked, the old man was sitting at the back, leaning on the back of the chair.

Seeing this, Kang Lei immediately said:
"Everyone, this is a folk master who has a profound knowledge of metaphysical culture."

"Hey……"

Before Kang Lei finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"It's not about metaphysics, it's just knowing some old principles passed down from ancestors.

My ancestors have been doing things for nothing for generations, and some common principles have been passed down from generation to generation..."

The unrestrained attitude of the old man was in stark contrast to the rigor of the others. For a time, many experts and professors couldn't understand why such a person was invited to such an occasion.

Kang Lei naturally knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, but he was not in a hurry to explain this.

Zhao Qi turned on the recorder, so that everyone could follow him to intervene in this case, so as to clearly know what they were going to do in the future.

In this way, we can understand the significance of the existence of Qintianjian in the most intuitive and convenient way.

Otherwise, it would be too strenuous to explain with words alone.

……

Soon, the vehicle from the State Secret Service left the bustling urban area.

The northern part of the county is mostly high mountains, which do not have an advantage in economic development, so there are still some primitive villages located in the high mountains.

For any bustling city, there is a place like Gunbei.

The geographical location is not dominant, and it is far away from the central economic zone in the initial planning, so the development will be slightly behind.

The mountain road here is not easy to walk, so that the camera is shaky.

Through the car window, Zhao Qi looked towards the mountains that piled up outside the window, and occasionally he could see the high-speed train passing by here, as well as the highways leading to other cities below.

The unique geographical environment makes it extremely secluded.

Occasionally, agricultural vehicles and figures working in the fields can be seen.

After passing through the rugged mountain road, the road in front of me finally became flat again, and this is Xinghai County.

For these foreign vehicles, people in the county stopped and watched curiously.

The whole county is not big, except for some small high-rise buildings in the middle, most of the whole county is composed of villages one by one.

Soon, Zhao Qi saw a big stone standing by the side of the road, with the words Fulin Village written on it.

"It's here..."

Chen Xue looked curiously at the village in the distance. The village was not small, and there were at least dozens of households by visual inspection.

The road leading to the village is lined with fields of various families, and in the distance is a small river running through the mountains.

"This looks quite normal, it doesn't seem like something weird happened..."

Chen Xue's words reached Zhao Qi's ears, but they did not dispel the doubts in Zhao Qi's heart.

Soon the motorcade arrived at the entrance of the village along the village road, where several people who looked like village cadres had been waiting here for a long time.

When they saw Zhao Qi get off the car, the village cadres didn't react for a while, but were still looking for someone who looked like a leader.

"Who is the village chief?"

It wasn't until Zhao Qi asked that these people looked over in surprise, and couldn't help guessing in their hearts.

This leader looks like a college student...

"I am, you are..."

The village head in his sixties hurried forward and asked politely.

Chen Xue on the side answered this question for Zhao Qi: "We are here to investigate the case, so stop talking nonsense and explain what happened here quickly."

The village chief nodded in agreement, seeing the battle, he knew that the other party had a lot of background, so how could he dare to be negligent?

Under the leadership of the village chief, Zhao Qi and others walked through the village and came to the river on the west side of the village.

Due to the recent heavy rain, the ground was very muddy along the way.

The ground near the river even showed signs of subsidence.

"Boss, that kid from Lao Li's family likes to fish here whenever he has nothing to do.

It stands to reason that the child was very good at water, but somehow he drowned in the river.

Everyone in the village helped to arrange the funeral. Because he died by drowning, he was buried early, but the coffin has not been dismantled.

As a result, on the first seven days, many people saw the child.

It was obvious that people from the village helped him to bury him, but this child appeared in the coffin shed inexplicably.

Later, people in the village went to the cemetery to have a look, and the cemetery was intact, so now it is spread in the village that the ghost of the child has returned.

He said it was just like that, and nothing more, since that day, Lao Li and his wife were sent to the hospital, and their life and death are still unknown.

Lao Li also started to go crazy, standing by the river and muttering to himself..."

Everyone walked along the river and listened to the village chief's account of what happened.

But at this moment, Zhao Qi noticed a figure appearing by the river not far away.

The man held a handful of paper money in his hand, lit it by the river, and kept saying something.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, the village chief sighed:
"That's Lao Li, who is also a hard-working man. First, a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, and now such a thing happened, this family is over..."

Zhao Qi frowned, then quickened his pace and walked forward.

Li Bikang didn't seem to notice that other people were coming. He looked at the river, sometimes in a daze, sometimes laughing. No wonder the village spread rumors that Li Bikang couldn't stand the blow and became a lunatic.

"Go to the graves of the dead..."

Zhao Qi didn't bother Li Bikang, but asked the village chief to take him to the cemetery in the back mountain.

According to the village chief, this has always been the burial place for villagers.

The ancestral graves of each family are relatively adjacent, and behind the cemetery is a stretch of woods.

When Zhao Qi and others approached the grave of the deceased, they unexpectedly found that there was already a person squatting in front of the grave.

This person looks very young from the back, and this outfit is quite special.

A windproof coat with a hood, a pair of overalls, and a pair of mountain boots, and a tactical backpack that seems to contain a lot of stuff.

"Which family are you from?"

The village chief yelled suspiciously. When the man standing in front of the grave turned around, everyone noticed that this man was wearing a windproof scarf around his neck, covering the lower half of his face. Strictly.

It seems that this person is a person who is outdoors all the year round, and this outfit has already explained this.

This man did not answer the village chief's question. Instead, he pointed to the grave next to him and asked:
"Is something wrong with this place? This tomb is a bit strange."

Just as the village chief was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhao Qi who was on the side.

He looked doubtfully at the very strong-looking man in front of him, and then at the tomb:
"What's weird?"

The man pinched some soil from the grave, then collected it and said with a frown:

"This tomb is obviously a new tomb, and it should have just appeared not long ago.

But the grave is already covered with weeds and there are saplings, something is wrong..."

The conversation between the two was broadcast in real time on the big screen of the scientific research institute through the recorder, and many experts and professors were puzzled by this.

However, the voice of the old man who had been playing with Wenwan came again:

"The folks often say that ghosts and people are blessed, and the funeral culture can continue to flourish among the people.

When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers in a geomantic treasure land, grass will grow on the graves.

On the contrary, the barren land is the most dangerous place. "

These words made the traditional culture professor next to him unable to sit still:
"Nonsense, as the saying goes, no grass grows on the graves of rich and noble people. Many imperial tombs attach great importance to this point. How come it becomes a good omen when you come here."

The obvious academic conflicts between the two, especially such things as traditional culture and folk customs, often have different styles and customs, and it is difficult to achieve an absolute unity.

The professor who spoke was named Lu Wei, who had devoted himself to the study of traditional culture for more than 20 years.

Many of his published papers are benchmarks in the academic world.

On the other hand, this old man playing with literature is just a folk.

What seems to be an academic conflict between the two is actually more like an inevitable contradiction between orthodox academics and folk culture.

The old man was not in a hurry, he just pointed to the big screen in front of him and said:
"You also mentioned the imperial tomb just now.

What's this?This is just a folk grave, and it is a folk grave that has just been buried.

In this case, the grass on the head of the grave indicates that this place is a land of geomantic omen, and the more vigorous the grass, the better the geomantic omen of this place.

And if you look closely, what is this grass?
They are scythe and bell grass respectively, so the feng shui of this place is excellent, otherwise the ancients would not have chosen this place as the place for their ancestral graves.

And those graves without grass are also called bald graves. They have no earth energy, so they become a dead place, which is an unparalleled appearance in Feng Shui. "

"It does make sense..."

An old pedant from the scientific research institute pushed his glasses:

"Although I don't know Feng Shui, what this person said is true.

The land without grass is basically alkaline soil, which is definitely not good for people buried in this soil.

Under normal circumstances, you have to find another cemetery on another day, and then move the deceased there. "

Unexpectedly, you said what you said, and each expressed his own opinion. Although Lu Wei didn't want to admit it, he also realized that what this old man with a quack air really made sense.

The professors could hear the conversations of Zhao Qi and the others, so naturally Zhao Qi could also hear what the professors were discussing through the headset.

Although this academic confrontation was short, it fully demonstrated the high professionalism of these people present.

Whether they are folk masters or academic experts, although they will inevitably have differences, they can always reach a consensus in the shortest time.

"Then since it is a geomantic treasure, why is it so strange?"

A professor asked this question curiously, because everyone had just seen the masked man on the screen, indicating that this place was strange.

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, he obviously knew the answer, but he remained calm at this time.

Sure enough, the old man put down the toy in his hand, sighed and said:

"The blame is on the saplings on the grave and the blooming flowers.

As the saying goes, when young twigs grow on the graves, and flowers and vines twist their necks..."

At the moment when the old man said these words, what Zhao Qi didn't expect was that the person in front of him actually said the same words verbatim...
