A Guest in a Ghost House

Chapter 438: Hungry ghost deception

Views:

The stench in the room still hasn't disappeared, mixed with a thick smell of blood, which makes people want to vomit.

The few policemen who Wu Jian arranged to clean up the room had disappeared, leaving only countless fragments of police uniforms and messy bones on the ground.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere, still seeming to be steaming.

I stood at the door blankly until a loud scream behind me woke me up.

Behind me are Lulu with an ugly face and Phoenix with a puzzled face.

I gently closed the door, so that this hellish scene was completely blocked behind the door.

Lulu still stood there dumbfounded, as if she was still looking at the scenery behind the door through the thick wooden door.

I patted Lulu on the back and gently embraced her in my arms: "It's not your fault."

Lulu shook her head in my arms, her voice was crying for the first time: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago."

Caressing Lulu's long hair, I kissed Lulu's forehead vigorously: "Good boy, I don't blame you, but I have to kill that hungry ghost, do you know that hungry ghosts may hide in the where?"

I don't really want to ask Lulu, I'm just trying to divert Lulu's attention. I can feel that Lulu is very uncomfortable now.

Lulu shook her head: "I don't know, but I will definitely not let it go."

Lulu pushed me away and stood up straight, with a serious and determined expression on her face.

Soon, I told everyone about the matter, endured the grief and fear, and everyone took action again.

Lulu and everyone in the ghost building patrolled the entire hospital non-stop.

After Wu Jian arranged Zou Zhixuan into the ward on the next floor, he found the architectural drawing of the hospital and began to arrange everyone's actions.

The efficiency of the operation has been improved, but we did not find any clues until it was bright the next day.

Xiang Xiaoxiao left, and Zou Zhixuan also quit her job because of fright, saying that she would go on a trip to relax.

Five days later, under the pressure of the hospital and public opinion, we had to withdraw from the hospital to bring the whole matter to a temporary end.

Accompanied by Fenghuang, Lulu went to the underworld, vowing to figure out everything.

Wu Jian took a long vacation and took Ni Min and the children on a trip.

This incident put too much pressure on everyone, to the point that everyone had to escape temporarily.

After spending a whole day in bed, it was rare for me to do my own job again—the waiter in the ghost building.

The business of the ghost building is as busy as ever, just because I haven't been here for a long time, there are many new faces, and I feel surprised when I see a living person serving tea and water.

And just as I got back to work, I met someone I never dreamed of.

On that day, it was raining lightly. I don't know if it was because of the habit of being a human being. Once it rains, the business of the ghost building will drop a lot, and this day is no exception.

There are not many guests in the lobby, most of them are acquaintances, and I don't need to serve them all the time. Everyone seemed very relaxed.

Sister Hua sighed depressingly that the business was not good, while I was sitting on a chair at the bar counter, boredly watching Little Bell playing with a few children.

At this moment, a weak voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is this Fanlou?"

Sister Hua was the first to stand up, but seeing that it was a young girl, she sat down in disappointment and called me weakly.

I stood up from my chair and greeted him with a professional smile.

But the moment we looked at the visitor, we were all stunned.

"How did you die?"

"How did you die?"

The unanimous questioning made both of us a little embarrassed.

After a while, I called the person to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Zou Zhixuan, why did you die?"

That's right, it was the nurse from the hospital, Zou Zhixuan, who came here.

Zou Zhixuan seemed a little puzzled about her own death. After thinking about it for a while, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't know, it's like falling asleep and then waking up like this."

After finishing speaking, Zou Zhixuan showed a sad look on his face.

However, Zou Zhixuan should have accepted her new identity, she quickly smiled, changed the subject and asked, "What about you, why did you die?"

"I'm not dead, I'm just working here. I used to be here, and after you left, I came back to work again."

"Ah," Zou Zhixuan looked surprised, but didn't press the question, and picked up the teacup to drink lightly.

The scene fell silent for a while.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zou Zhixuan summoned up her courage and said hesitantly, "This is Fanlou, right?"

"yes."

"I want to ask a question, who should I ask?"

I gave Zou Zhixuan a strange look: "You can also ask me."

Zou Zhixuan smiled and said, "Okay, let me ask you, I'm not so embarrassed yet."

"Well."

Zou Zhixuan thought for a while, and said, "Do you know where my tomb is?"

"Ah." I looked at Zou Zhixuan in surprise.

Her question was something I hadn't thought of. After a person dies, the soul of the earth returns to the place of the tomb. This is something that all ghosts can perceive. How could they not find their own tomb? After all, Zou Zhixuan is not a lonely ghost.

Seeing me surprised, Zou Zhixuan lowered her head in embarrassment, and whispered: "I really can't find it, and my parents don't seem to have set up a spirit for me."

There is no spirit setting, I feel something is wrong, you must know that setting spirits is our tradition, hanging portraits, placing clothes in front of the dead, whether there is incense or not, it is considered spirit setting.

The setting of spirits not only expresses the yearning for the dead, but the bigger reason is that the ghosts of relatives can continue to enjoy the incense in the world until they enter the underworld.

However, thinking of Zou Zhixuan's resignation and going on a trip, I comforted me and said, "Maybe your parents haven't heard of your death yet."

This time it was Zou Zhixuan's turn to be surprised. She looked at my face, stared at it for a long time, and asked in confusion, "I've been dead for almost a week, and my parents still don't know about my death?"

I was shocked, looked at Zou Zhixuan, and said in a trembling voice: "How long did you say you were dead?"

Zou Zhixuan looked at me strangely: "It's almost a week."

"One week?" I opened my eyes wide, confirming again.

Zou Zhixuan was silent, tilted her head, thought for a long time, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down.

"I remembered, Xiang Xiaoxiao said that I was going to the bathroom, and I accompanied him, but when I was in the bathroom, the light went out all of a sudden, and then I didn't know anything, and when I woke up again, I became It became what it is now.”

After Zou Zhixuan finished speaking, she looked at me, was slightly taken aback, and said worriedly: "Are you okay, your face is so ugly."

I knew that my face must be ugly now, but I didn't expect that since then, Zou Zhixuan was no longer Zou Zhixuan.

At my invitation, Zou Zhixuan stayed in the ghost building, because in everyone's mind, she quit her job and was traveling abroad.

I don't know if the hungry ghost still bears the identity of Zou Zhixuan, or has changed into a hidden body.

But I still told Wu Jian about this matter, even if there is only a 1% chance, I am still willing to put in 100% effort.

I waited anxiously until two days later, Wu Jian called.

Zou Zhixuan, or the hungry ghost living in Zou Zhixuan's body, appeared in the scenic area of the Thai Emperor's Mausoleum.

Without the slightest hesitation, I went directly to the Thai Emperor Mausoleum Scenic Area alone.

The Mausoleum of the Thai Emperor was the founding emperor of a small country during the war period of our country more than a thousand years ago, and it was also the only emperor of that small country.

He started an uprising in his 20s, became emperor at the age of 33, died at the age of 73, and within three months, the country was destroyed.

This is the life of this legend known as Emperor Longtai Li Yuanyi.

Legend has it that Li Yuanyi, Emperor Longtai, was frugal by nature and was deeply loved by the people. Although the princes fought in chaos at that time, they all respected him. The princes even agreed with each other not to attack Li Yuanyi during his lifetime.

What is even more legendary is that the luxurious mausoleum of Emperor Longtai Li Yuanyi was actually built for him by his competitors after his death.

And a small county town with no special features has become a lively tourist attraction because of the existence of the Thai Emperor's Mausoleum.

This bustling is not just the bustle of publicity. When I set foot on the Thai Emperor Mausoleum Scenic Area, it was like the flow of people in the market, which made me feel like I was in a big city.

Perhaps, this has something to do with the well-preserved Thai Emperor's Mausoleum.

I looked at the huge stone tablet outside, and I was really shocked. Many parts of the stone tablet have been weathered, but the main body is not too damaged. The moss-covered stele is like a green giant, looking at the crowd at its feet.

The text on the stele is no longer visible, but the explanation table next to it clearly reproduces the text on it.

"Benevolent heart, benevolent virtue, benevolent king."

The short six words made me feel a little strange. This is the evaluation of Emperor Longtai Li Yuanyi's enemies. What did Emperor Longtai do to be so widely recognized by the people at that time

I seemed to suddenly see a thin, energetic old man, stroking his snow-white beard, looking at the green stone tablet, shaking his head and sighing slightly.

There was no joy in the eyes of the old man, not even comfort, only a trace of loneliness and reluctance.

"boom."

"Ouch, sorry, sorry."

I felt a bump on my shoulder, and saw a young man apologizing to me embarrassingly.

I smiled: "It's okay."

After a small episode, I took another step and walked towards the Mausoleum of the Thai Emperor.

Stepping on the smooth stone ground under my feet, I couldn't help thinking of the scene I saw just now in a trance. real, or unreal.

Before coming here, I did my homework. There is a lot of controversy on the Internet and even in the academic circles, because, apart from the Thai Emperor’s Mausoleum itself, there are no historical documents that record Longtai Emperor Li Yuanyi and his country.

This is simply impossible, as if the Mausoleum of the Thai Emperor was imagined by people. If the things here hadn't been researched and indeed belonged to that era, it is estimated that the Thai Emperor's Mausoleum would have been razed to the ground long ago.

Perhaps, this is also the biggest reason why so many people come to the Mausoleum of the Thai Emperor.
