Chapter 46 The Return of the Soul
"Use your sinful souls to welcome my new life." The bloody handwriting is thrilling.

The mummy kneeling on the ground, unconscious and endless, repeated the same movement.

"It's so weird, there seems to be a stone gate over there." I looked nervous and pointed forward with my finger.

The second uncle shined it with a flashlight, and there was indeed a stone door in front of it, with a few big characters engraved on it, the characters behind it had been completely weathered, and only the blurred word "Taiping" could be seen in front.

"There is no other way, let's go and have a look." The second uncle walked around the mummy and walked towards the stone gate.

I followed closely behind my second uncle, jumping over the mummy with some trepidation in my heart, trotting a few steps, wanting to stay away from that evil thing.

"Wait, I... I don't dare to go over..." Fatty Wang cried and stared at the mummy with a pale face, and lifted his fat and thick legs, as if he didn't dare to come over.

"Fatty, you really don't look like a man." I looked contemptuous.

"Ah!" Fatty Wang yelled, with his eyes closed and his teeth clenched, like a wild boar running for his life, he rushed over.

"Be careful! Don't bump into it." I reminded loudly that the fat man didn't even look at the road, and he was about to hit the stone gate.

"Bang!" A muffled sound, my reminder was still a step late.

"It hurts Fatty to death." Fatty Wang wailed, and squatted down covering his forehead. The embarrassed look made people angry and funny.

The stone door made a creaking sound, and it was knocked open by the heavy tonnage of the fat man.

"Don't go in yet, there is a miasma inside." The second uncle frowned and took a few steps back.

I don't know how many years the stone door has been dusty, and the smell inside is stale and unpleasant. I covered my nose and shone inside with a flashlight.

"Then... what is that?" Fatty Wang was holding his forehead and moaning, when he accidentally saw the scene inside the stone gate, he sat down on the ground in fright.

Using the beam of the flashlight, I saw a petite figure with disheveled hair tied to a stone pillar, surrounded by firewood.

"Help..." The weak voice sounded like that girl Li Xiaolei.

The petite figure raised her head, her pretty face was dirty, and her slender eyes were dull and lifeless. It was Li Xiaolei, whom we had never found.

"Why are you still tied up here?" I walked over quickly.

"Don't go there, it's a fake." The second uncle reminded behind him.

My heart tightened, I stopped, and looked at the figure on the stone pillar in surprise.

Her vision was a little blurry, Li Xiaolei seemed to be smiling at me, her smile was very strange, her figure gradually withered, the flesh and blood on her face dried quickly, and finally turned into a mummified corpse with torn clothes, I don’t know how many years she was tied up there.

"What's going on here?" My heart was pounding, the scene in front of me was really weird.

"There's a burnt cow's skull at your feet." Fatty Wang made a fuss and shouted, pointing at my feet.

I looked down, and there was a cow's skull at my feet, black and full of cracks after grilling.

"Hey, there seems to be words engraved on it." I took a picture with a flashlight.

Fatty Wang and Second Uncle came over and stared at the ox skull in my hand, trying to make out the blurry writing on it.

"Mr. Lai brought a child back, and Zu Ling told me that the child is a demon and will bring disaster to us."

The writing on the back was blurred and burned, and only a few scattered words could be seen: "Yin Changsheng... ominous... leprosy..."

"Yin Changsheng?" I exclaimed subconsciously, I didn't expect that the weird mummy here was related to the other party.

"What's the smell? Why does it have a burnt smell?" Fatty Wang wrinkled his nose and looked around in doubt.

"Smoking, the firewood over there is burning." I found the source of the burnt smell.

A raging flame ignited in the cave, and the mummy trapped on the stone pillar creaked as it was burned, and a puff of green smoke emerged from the mummy.

"Go, it's a poisonous corpse, the green smoke is poisonous." The second uncle pulled us and ran into the depths of the cave.

"There is a ghost here, otherwise the firewood would burn by itself." Fatty Wang looked around in horror.

"I feel a pair of eyes behind me, staring at us all the time." I finally couldn't help it, and said the feeling of being watched.

"Don't panic. We are in a very evil feng shui situation. No matter what abnormal phenomena you see, you must remain calm." The second uncle's voice was like a wake-up call, which made me calm down.

"Ghost... There are ghosts over there..." Fatty Wang pointed forward with trembling fingers, and refused to run away no matter what he said.

I looked over there and saw only a cloud of faint black air, but didn't see the ghost in the fat man's mouth.

"What does he look like, how old is he, and what clothes does he wear?" the second uncle asked Fatty Wang.

It was only then that I remembered that Fatty Wang was a blessing in disguise, and his yin and yang eyes were opened.

"It's an old man in his 60s, wearing old clothes, like a villager in the mountains." Fatty Wang said tremblingly.

"Second uncle, you can't see it either?" I asked the second uncle very puzzled.

"Some ghosts are so weak that we can perceive them but can't see them. Only those with yin and yang eyes can see any spirits." My second uncle explained to me.

The doubts in my heart were solved at once, no wonder what I saw were all evil spirits, but Fatty Wang often saw the ghosts of ordinary people.

"Fatty, you should be able to communicate with him, go ask what's going on here." The second uncle patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

"I...I..." Fatty Wang's face was pale and bloodless, he hesitated, and looked ahead with fear in his eyes, not daring to pass.

"It's an ordinary ghost, it can't hurt anyone, it's fine." The second uncle continued to encourage the fat man.

"Fatty, this place is so evil, you want to leave early, don't you?" I walked over to cheer up the fatty.

"Okay, Fatty is going all out." Fatty Wang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and puffed out his chest, with a generous expression on his face.

"You can do it." I patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"I'm going." Fatty Wang raised his head and chest, pursed his lips tightly, and strode forward. Halfway, the fatty turned his head and looked at us pitifully, "If there is an accident, you must hurry to save me .”

I was really defeated by this coward, I patted my chest and assured him that it would be fine.

Fatty Wang walked to the side of the cloud of black air, trembling, whispering to each other, unable to hear what he was saying.

After a while, Fatty Wang seemed to find that he was safe, and gradually let go, his body stopped shaking, his face didn't turn pale, and he became airy again.

I turned around and looked back. The fire behind me had been extinguished. I shone it with a flashlight, and there was a layer of green smoke over there.

"There is no way out, I hope Fatty can gain something." I sighed in my heart.

"Come here quickly, I have a new discovery." Fatty Wang waved to us.

"Have you made it clear, what the hell is going on here?" I was overjoyed and trotted all the way.

"Of course I asked clearly. There is nothing impossible for the fat man to do." Fatty Wang patted his fat swaying chest, looking like a stinky fart.

"See if you can. Whenever you are in danger, I will count your grandson as the fastest runner."

"Let's talk, time is running out, we can't delay any longer." The second uncle came over and said in a deep voice.

Fatty Wang was still in awe of his second uncle, so he put away his complacent expression and began to talk about the news he had inquired about.

"The feng shui master surnamed Lai is a descendant of the lineage of Mai?" After listening to the fat man, the second uncle frowned and said to himself.

I was shocked in my heart, and I understood the origin of those weird mummies, they were actually made of yin.

Back then, Yin Changsheng killed his daughter and escaped from the Leprosy Shantang. Unexpectedly, he met another group of mountain people who were hiding in caves, and a Feng Shui master named Lai took him in.

Those mountain people fled early and were not affected by leprosy. They hid in this cave built during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Yin Changsheng suffered from leprosy, and the secret was not kept for long. When the mountain villagers found out, they were terrified and wanted to burn him to death.

The feng shui master surnamed Lai couldn't bear it, so he let him go secretly. Unexpectedly, the soft heart at this moment killed everyone...

"He actually buried himself alive, turned into an evil spirit, devoured the soul of that Feng Shui master, and sacrificed these mountain people alive." A chill that penetrated to the bone marrow rose from my back.

"Too vicious, too cruel, wait, why do you say he arranged such a vicious Feng Shui bureau?" Fatty Wang thought of a possibility, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

"Hundred Corpses Sacrificial to the Soul has a very evil effect, that is to revive the soul!" The second uncle said solemnly.

I think of an anecdote recorded in Broken Xiangjing.

When the ancestor traveled around, he once encountered a strange thing. He passed by a village, but found that everyone in that village was dead, and the way of death was strange.

That night, he stayed overnight in a ruined temple at the back of the village, when he heard a strange noise, he got up and went out of the ruined temple to check, only to find that a person crawled out of a new grave beside the village.

That person moved like the wind, as fast as a ghost, and disappeared before the ancestor could react.

The ancestors kept this strange incident in their hearts, and after going back, they checked the classics, only to find a clue, and found that there is such a magic technique as worshiping the soul of hundreds of corpses in this world, and deliberately recorded this evil Feng Shui situation in the scriptures, reminding later people.

"That Yin Changsheng's scheming is so deep that he still has a second hand. If his plan in Luoyang Village fails, this evil Feng Shui Bureau will be activated, and then his evil body buried alive will have a new consciousness." I said. His whole body was cold and he muttered to himself.

"Man is not as good as God, he wouldn't have thought that we came so fast, he was doomed not to succeed." The second uncle gritted his teeth.

"Hurry up, if that old monster comes back to life, something bad will happen." Fatty Wang urged, trembling, with an anxious expression on his face.
