He Dana made preparations at home regarding the relocation of the graves. He did not expect it to be so complicated, so he taught me step by step.
There are too many things to consider when moving graves, and it is too troublesome. Among all graves, graves that are over a hundred years old are very troublesome and prone to problems.
That day, the farm manager drove us to the countryside to prepare to move the graves.
That day, we just visited the graves, more than a hundred graves, ten of which were old, over a hundred years old, and the oldest was more than four hundred years old. The grave mound was as big as a house.
At night, we stayed at that man's house.
"Mainly pay attention to the ten old graves. The largest one is more than 400 years old. Tomorrow is the time to dig up the grave. The old graves are all whole bones, and the new graves are urns. That's easy. If they move to a new home, they have to change the Yin house. How many coffins and urns are there? Count them and call Ji Yihe to send the urns and coffins over."
"I'm afraid Ji Yihe won't agree to so many. Those things are works of art in his eyes. Moreover, there are more than a hundred of them. The cost is quite high. Can this family afford it?"
The manager went out to discuss things with the owner and came back after a while.
"You don't have to worry about these things. They will handle it themselves. They will dig up the graves in the middle of the night and finish digging them up at dawn, and then move them. As long as nothing happens on the way, you don't have to worry about the rest."
This is good. We don't have to worry about such things, so there will be a lot less trouble.
We slept and went to the mountain at daybreak. All the graves were dug out. There were more than 400 people helping, including relatives and friends.
What we didn't expect was that, apart from the urn, the entire body was wrapped in some kind of leather. I was stunned.
"Godfather, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean? Wrapped in their horsehide, these people must be on the battlefield, that's why they would do this. They will always be warriors, even after death, they won't enter the coffin."
I called the manager over and asked him.
"Were these family originally warriors?"
The director said.
"You may not know, this is the Zhan Family Army. They followed Nurhaci to fight in the city of Suoyang. They were the front line of the Zhan Family Army. They were all fathers, sons, and brothers. Unexpectedly, they all died overnight, more than 50 people."
I didn't expect it to be like this. If that were the case, it would be very troublesome. They all had weapons such as swords and knives tied to their horsehides.
We got on the scaffolding and the sun came out. We were in a mountain six kilometers away from the village. We had seen that place before. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides and it was a very nice place.
The mountain road was winding. He Dana and I walked behind. He kept staring at the corpse that was more than 400 years old. It seemed that he was afraid that something might happen to the corpse.
The corpse cannot be dropped to the ground while being carried. Who knows what happened? The old corpse was being carried in the front, but unexpectedly, the person in front suddenly squatted down and screamed in pain. The old corpse fell to the ground, and He Dana was visibly startled.
In an instant, the horse wrapped in the old corpse opened, the old corpse stood up, held the sword, and then went west.
"Follow me, go there and bury him after you enter the cemetery."
He Da and I held it.
"Why did he leave?"
"The Yin Qi has accumulated for four hundred years. They are fighting spirits that cannot be dispersed or separated from their bones. Once the Yin Qi is sufficient, they will appear as Yin people. They are going to Suoyang City to fight."
This city was originally called Suoyang City. After Nurhaci started his rebellion, he captured Suoyang City. Many people died at that time, and it was also a battle where the outnumbered side defeated the larger force. From here, he went all the way north and won every battle.
We followed this old corpse.
"You can't keep following me like this, no!"
"He will pass by a road. There is a cemetery on that road. It is a mixed graveyard, belonging to everyone. There are more than 30 graves, and one is an open grave. Although he is a Yin person, he cannot see the road clearly. He can only walk guided by his soul. We let him fall into the grave. There are corpses in the grave, only his Yin Qi. If the Yin Qi does not jump and cannot get up, we can take action."
The reason I know so much about He Dana is related to Yin Studies. I think I will learn these things one day, but I am afraid. If I learn them, I will know more and see more things that normal people cannot see. I don’t want to do that, but curiosity always makes me do that. This is what makes me angry. Why is my curiosity always so strong
The corpse of the warrior is holding a sword, which is quite impressive. If I were in ancient times, would I also be a warrior? It’s not easy to say, but I think I have that feeling.
The old corpse really took that path, but the strangest thing was that when he reached the exposed grave, which had been in disrepair for a long time and probably had no descendants, he actually stopped and went around it. He Dana was dumbfounded at the time.
"Oh my god, this is a Ming corpse. I miscalculated. It looks like we are in trouble."
We followed, and He Dana seemed a little confused.
The old corpse actually went to the crematorium. This is so evil. How could he go to the crematorium? What does that mean
Unexpectedly, the old corpse went into the morgue of the crematorium, stood there for a long time, then ran to the Changqing Hall. After entering, he opened the cabinet lid, swung the sword down, and the head fell off. Then he turned around and came out. He Dana and I were stunned. What did that mean
"It's probably an enemy, or a descendant of an enemy. That's fine."
"Once this man's ancient sword went down, his head fell off. Tomorrow is your shift, so take a leave and don't burn it."
"Why?"
"One hundred percent of it will go wrong."
The old corpse actually went back along the same path carrying the sword, entered the cemetery, and collapsed. His family members immediately wrapped him in horsehide and buried him.
"Are you alright?"
"An old corpse like this will cause trouble sooner or later. At least it's okay now. Let's go back."
When I go back with He Dana, I get scared just thinking about it. How could such a thing happen
In the middle of the night, there was the sound of swords dragging on the floor. I looked at He Dana. We both hadn't slept yet and were sitting there chatting.
He Dana walked to the window and looked outside. It was the old corpse again, standing there dragging a sword, facing the room.
"It looks like both of our heads are going to fall to the ground."
"We didn't provoke it."
"Maybe we provoked him in our previous life, and he's here to take revenge."
"What should we do then?"
He Dana said.
"I was afraid that something like this would happen, so I had already cast a spell, and he just happened to step on it."
After the old corpse's bones fell to the ground, He Dana went out, threw the bones into the pond, then brought the sword into the house and hung it on the wall. The sword actually rang by itself.
"You know what's going to happen?"
"Yes, he will be here to look after my house from now on."
I could never imagine the evil of He Dana.
I took a leave of absence in the morning and when I got home, Xiaozhe handed me a note with words on it. It was written by Gujuan, saying that she went to Gu Village and wanted to see her younger brother.
My head is about to explode. Going to Bone Village to see her brother, is she sick? I have told her so many times that Bone Village is a ghost village, don't go in, there will be problems there, but she just won't listen.
I asked Xiaozhe to stay at home. I went to the Bone Village and entered the freezer, but I didn't see Gujuan. I thought it would be better if nothing happened, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with. Until the afternoon, I didn't find Gujuan. I thought, maybe she left the Bone Village and went home. I was also worried about Xiaozhe. When I went back, Gujuan hadn't come back, and Xiaozhe was not at home either.
There was a note on the table, left by Yun Bai, saying that Xiaozhe was taken away and I was not suitable to take care of a child. She took Xiaozhe away again. I did not go to look for her because after all, she was his mother and there would be no problem. Besides, I was really worried about Gu Juan taking the child with her. After all, she was a princess from ancient times. Who knew what problems would arise
I went to He Dana's place and the manager was there. It seemed that he had just arrived and was driving a car.
"Master He, please come with me. Something happened. I beg you..."
The manager turned around and saw me.
"Master Ke is in trouble, hurry to the crematorium."
I know it's the corpse whose head was chopped off by the sword.
"What happened?"
The head of the body was missing, leaving only the body, and the family members were anxious.
I looked at He Dana. The head of the corpse was missing? Did it run away? It wasn't too scary. He Dana also found it strange.
"It's really evil that this happened."
When we went to the crematorium, the family members were crying and making a fuss.
When we entered the hall, we saw only the body and the lid of the cabinet was open. The police also came and inspected the scene. It seemed that the things had been stolen.
However, there were no clues, as there was no such thing as surveillance in that era.
He Dana ordered rice. The rice he took out from a small bottle was black and the same size as millet. I didn't know what kind of rice it was and why it was black. After he finished ordering the millet, the police looked at He Dana with evil eyes, thinking, if this trick of yours works, what's the use of us policemen
After He Dana got some rice and reached the middle of the yard, he stopped and went into the director's office to drink tea.
It was already afternoon at this time, and there was no one else around except the deceased's family members.
Family members enter the director's office.
"We'll find out somehow."
"Found it, his head was cut off, my son is so miserable..."
A woman burst into tears.
"We'll give you compensation, so that's fine, right? We don't want this to happen either. Go back first, and we'll let you know as soon as we find it. If you keep making trouble here, we can't do anything."
The director came in and called the person to his office.
He Dana drank tea and the police left. They said they would go back to report on their research.
"Master He, what did you just do?"
"Dianmi, millet dyed black, is called Dianmi, also known as Yinmi. The souls of the dead eat this. The head may appear, but I can't guarantee it."
Regarding the matter of Yin rice, just like people, souls and ghosts need to eat, but they eat Yin rice, we just don’t know it. I didn’t expect that He Dana even knew this.
The manager went to Xilailou in the evening and brought back six dishes and two bottles of white wine.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master He."
We drank and looked out the window. We could see the middle of the yard. If there was any movement, we would see it immediately.
I don't know, does this trick work? Was the head stolen or something like that? I asked He Dana.
"I don't know. We'll know when the time comes. I can get him to talk."
He Dana is getting more and more outrageous. Can he get that head back, and how to make it speak, I don’t know, but I want to see, so I’ll wait. (To be continued)
