There are several roads leading to the large platform in this ditch. I don’t want to choose any of them. I feel that this is just like the path of life. Each one is not easy to choose, and a wrong choice will lead to big problems.
No one knows what the consequences will be, He Dana said after looking for a long time.
"We each choose one. Of course, I know the consequences will be different. It all depends on fate."
"What will happen?"
"I have seen many strange roads, but I have never seen one like this. There are seven roads, seven ghost roads. Are they all ghost roads? If so, then it means death."
"Then why bother choosing? You walk away knowing you're going to die."
I was angry. He Dana kicked me and I dodged it. He almost fell down. The ghost leg I borrowed today really didn't work.
"I don't know what the outcome of each path will be, just like life, just like marrying a wife, you don't know what the outcome will be. If you marry a kind wife, you will be happy for the rest of your life, but if you marry a fierce woman, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life..."
This was said to me. It really makes me angry. Thinking of Yun Bai, my mouth starts to blister and my urine becomes yellow. Sometimes I can't even pee.
That day, I chose the road to the left, which looked more comfortable.
We walked up together, synchronously. When we saw the flat surface of the platform, I stopped moving. No one moved. We were all stunned at the same time. What was on top? I shone a flashlight and saw a bone painting. How many people's bones would be needed to build such a large platform? I don't know. It was made of bones. The area was too large to see what the painting was.
"Go down."
He Dana shouted, and I thought to myself, you idiot, you’re the same whether you come up or come down.
"Let's find a place to stay today and see what this painting is tomorrow morning. It doesn't feel right to me."
When you look at the Bone Village from the outside, you can only see the outer village, but not the inner village. In fact, we can’t see anything inside the seven ditches. Only when we came in did we realize that this place is even more bizarre.
We went up the hillside and saw a room that caught our eye. We pushed the door open and went in. The room was very big. There were no other houses like us. There was a bed and a table. It was very ordinary. I didn't see anything strange at all. This made me feel more relieved. I put down my backpack, put the things on the table, and started eating and drinking. I also realized that I had to eat every bite I could. I never knew where I was going.
We were drinking and having a great time when someone knocked on the door. It was a ghost knocking on the door three times. He Dana looked at me and I looked at Lao Lin. Lao Lin's hand was shaking as he held the wine glass. Could there be anyone else here? It could only be a ghost.
We didn't move, the knocking continued, and we locked the door.
"Open the door."
He Dana told me, let’s just start, and if we die, we all die together.
I opened the door and screamed in fright, "Oh my god! You can't play like this!" There was a man and a woman at the door, in their twenties, well dressed.
"We came here to explore, and when we saw the light here, we came over."
I frowned and looked at them. They were people, yes, did they look human
I am very sensitive to human smell. It is a special smell, just like when a corpse is burned, each corpse has its own unique smell. I have to thank Yun Bai for this. From the day she said that I smelled like a dead person, I noticed the smell of dead people. It is true, and each one is different, just like the fragrance of a flower.
They came in, sat down, and took out their own food to eat.
"You must leave Bone Village immediately. This is not the place for you."
"We didn't encounter anything terrible. It's beautiful here. We plan to leave tomorrow afternoon."
They came in and didn't encounter any strange things, which also made me feel a little surprised. So will they be okay? Will they leave here safely? I don't know, maybe they will leave here safely.
He Dana didn't say anything. Lao Lin was busy with his own things and felt a little nervous. The girl was lively and even started singing a song.
I didn't stop them because they sang beautifully. But they were too young and I knew something might happen.
We all went to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, the two young men were gone. Perhaps they were full of energy and went out early to see the scenery. The scenery of Bone Village is really unique, especially when you enter the ditch.
When we came out, we saw blood dripping from the door. I was startled, said He Dana.
"It looks like something went wrong."
"But we didn't hear any sound."
"Look for it, follow the blood trail, maybe there is still hope."
We followed the bloodstains and found blood all along the way. There were two rows of blood drops on the winding road, which meant that both of them had been injured, and it seemed that the injuries were quite serious.
We followed him and entered a ditch. It was not the same ditch as yesterday, but the strangest one. The road branched into three after entering the ditch, and there was also a road on both sides.
"Xiao Zuo, let's go to the right."
I don’t know what He Dana saw. We walked to the right and saw blood dripping into a house. The door was half open, like an open mouth.
We stood in front of the door and He Dana shouted twice, but there was no response.
The house is triangular in shape, a strange house. There is a small house on the roof, and its size is quite strange.
"Don't look at it, it's a coffin."
Oh my god, after He Dana finished speaking, I noticed that it was really a coffin. I’m going to pee in your face.
I looked at He Dana, who sat on a rock, his legs gone, and during the day, his ghost legs were retracted.
"Carry me in."
"If something happens, can I carry you on my back?"
I asked He Dana, and I could see from his expression that he wanted to strangle me.
"Don't have such thoughts. If you do, I will leave you here."
He Dana didn't have the temper at this time, I knew he didn't dare.
Lao Lin was nervous and kept his mouth shut. Apart from recording the video, he seemed to be in no mood to say anything. He was scared and nervous. From time to time, I would see his face twitching, which was a sign of nervousness, extreme nervousness.
I carried He Dana on my back, which was not a wise move. I also knew what He Dana was up to. He lay on my back and hugged my neck tightly.
"Even if you strangle me, you can't run away."
When we went in, it was an ordinary room with common items, and it seemed a bit messy. He Dana looked through the table, and I felt something dripping on me. I looked up and saw blood dripping from the coffin. One of the two young men was in it.
"what to do?"
"Leave here, there's no saving him, hurry up."
We left. We didn't expect that two young people had lost their lives. But how did they lose their lives? I just couldn't figure it out. We didn't hear any sound. It really made me incomprehensible. How did this person get into the coffin
I can't figure it out, it's too weird.
We came out and walked to a flat ground, and I put He Dana down. Lao Lin was sweating profusely and shivering all the time.
"Xiao Zuo, do you know anything about sleepwalking?"
"Yes, I had it when I was a kid."
"People who sleepwalk can do things beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary people can do this, but that person climbed onto the coffin on the shed. There was no place to climb, so how did he get in? I think there must be something like sleepwalking that allowed him to climb up."
"What is that?"
"I corresponded with American experts and told them about this matter. It's an illusion, but what caused it? I don't know. There are too many things that can cause this illusion."
I understand what He Dana said, but is seeing ghosts an illusion? I don't know. I think it shouldn't be. There are only some people who can see ghosts. The existence of ghosts is the existence of another world. Maybe we humans will also appear in the ghost world, maybe in another form. I think it should be like this. The theory of multiple worlds is still not recognized by people, because no one can come up with evidence of the existence of another, or multiple worlds. It is impossible to get it, unless you go to another world. Who says that death is not going to another world
The most evil thing happened. The refining furnace started refining again. It can be seen in this ditch. It has a sense of bright lights.
I put He Dana aside, it was daytime.
I looked and walked over there, and I didn't know why, but I was always out of control.
Lao Lin followed me, and I didn't think he was out of control. He was just afraid and nervous.
He Dana also let me do what I wanted and stopped talking.
I stood at the mouth of the ditch, looking at the refining furnace, with a man standing next to it.
I didn't move, Lao Lin was standing behind me recording the video. What impressed me most was that Lao Lin would hold up the video camera at all times. This was what impressed me the most. Is this considered professionalism? I don't know. I think this is not what an expert should do, right
Anyway, I always have a messy idea.
I walked forward and wanted to talk to the man standing next to the refinery, because we were both refiners, and I felt like I had drunk eight kilograms of wine.
I walked forward, followed by Lao Lin.
I stopped five meters away, and I saw the face of this refiner. He was wearing clothes from hundreds of years ago, but he was not nervous and just sat there.
"Hello?"
I probably thought it was a silly question to ask, and he didn't respond. I said hello again in Jurchen, and he jumped up.
I am scared because this is a dead village. It is impossible for anyone to be alive. Those who are alive are just an illusion.
He stared at me blankly, then stood up and looked at me without saying anything. Obviously, he understood what I said.
"I am a refiner."
I continued in Jurchen, saying that he had no expression, and that having no expression was the most terrifying thing.
I don’t know how he reacted. I feel that what happened in this Bone Village is a bit weird and I just can’t get over it.
This man, or rather person, sat down again and looked at me, which made me fuss.
"I want to talk to you about burning people to death."
"I only burn living people."
Oh my god, you are burning people alive? I was stunned at that time. Everyone who came to the Bone Village was alive, but I was pouring water on dead people instead of burning them alive. What's the rhythm? Can you bear it? Lao Lin made a strange sound behind me, which I thought was normal. If he didn't make it, I would think he was abnormal.
I stood there motionless. You burn the living, I burn the dead, but this...
The Jurchen woman stood up, gestured for me to go up to the stage, from where I could see the person burning in the furnace.
I hesitated, wondering if he would kick me to death. That would really burn a living person. Burning a living person in broad daylight was a bit scary.
This refiner is completely different from me. I know whether he is real or imaginary.
What I see is real, so I believe it is real. This is what I have always believed. What I see with my eyes is real. Master Yunzheng once told me that what we see is not necessarily real, but I have never admitted this. What is it that I see that is not real
I walked down, but Lao Lin didn't follow me.
I was only two meters away from the refiner.
"I am a refiner, and so are you, but I don't believe you burned a living person."
"You can go up and take a look."
I frowned and hesitated, but still went up because I didn't believe that all this was happening.
When I went on stage, my scalp felt tingling and my legs felt weak.
When I got to the platform, I looked inside and almost jumped off. The girl was burning in the stove, rolling and screaming. I closed my eyes and then sat on the platform. I couldn't get up.
The one in the coffin dripping with blood is a boy, the one in the furnace is a girl, and this refining is a living refining.
As for the refining alive, I may never have encountered it, but He Dana, my godfather, was refining alive. This is the real origin of the name Crazy He, and he also left the crematorium. (To be continued)
