Later, they tried desperately to escape, but the ghost kept chasing them and it was difficult to get rid of them. When they were about to be killed, they met a master who helped them drive away the evil ghost. This man was a local Taoist priest who was asked to go up the mountain to exorcise ghosts. It was just a coincidence that he met them. The Taoist priest told them to run out through the narrow gap, which was a shortcut, and he would try his best to stop the ghost.
After expressing their gratitude profusely, the two of them entered the narrow passage. They were exhausted after running on the mountain road all night and could not walk any further, so they sat down to rest. It was at this time that Shen Bing's father wrote his diary.
The diary stopped here. I guess they rested for a while and started to walk out again. As a result, they were crushed to death by the rocks falling from above. They were still holding this diary in their hands when they died. The corpse in front must be Shen Bing's mother. They died in this secret canyon. No one has come in for many years, so of course their bodies cannot be found.
After reading the diary, Shen Bing's tears flowed like a river. She shouted "Mom" and stepped over her father's corpse. She threw herself on the corpse in front of her and burst into tears.
Everyone present was moved by her sadness. I turned around and whispered to them about Shen Bing's parents.
After Shen Bing cried for a while, I went over to comfort her and told her to accept her condolences. Then I took off my windbreaker, moved the stones off the bones, moved both sets of remains onto my windbreaker, and carried them out with Shen Bing.
Fortunately, we walked out of the canyon smoothly and entered a small valley. We laid out the bones on the ground. I asked Wang Zijun to find some dead branches and firewood, piled them on the ground and lit a fire. Shen Bing lay on the ground crying. I didn't have many words to say about this kind of thing of persuading people to mourn, so I just said a few words. The more I persuaded her, the more sad she cried.
Qu Mo walked up to me, pulled me and whispered, "Let her cry. She'll feel better after crying!"
The girl was quite considerate. It was true that she had not seen her parents' remains for ten years. This regret and grief were difficult for others to understand. Now that she had seen her parents' remains, how could she feel better if she did not let out the hidden pain that had accumulated in her heart for ten years
The body was burned to ashes, and I wrapped them in a windbreaker into a package. After I got out of the mountain, I bought an urn to put the ashes in.
We continued to move forward. Since the cremation took less than two hours, it was already past one in the afternoon, so everyone quickened their pace. Shen Bing was in a heavy mood, holding the bundle of ashes, and fell to the back as if she had lost her soul. I let Qu Mo and Wang Zijun lead the way, and I stayed behind to accompany her.
We were not familiar with the terrain of Huangshan Mountain, and we only measured the distance based on the guide map. We didn't expect that it was not until it was too dark and we climbed over an unknown mountain that we arrived at the valley in Wang Yang and Shen Bing's nightmare. This seemed to be a forbidden area in Huangshan Scenic Area that tourists were not allowed to set foot in. The terrain was very dangerous, and there were no artificial roads or traces left by tourists.
At this moment, the sun had completely set, and it was pitch black everywhere. The mountains seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black fog, which made people feel very depressed. We rushed so hard, and the mountain road was very difficult to walk on, so we all sat at the entrance of the valley to catch our breath. I also took out a few yellow talismans from my bag and gave one to each of them, sticking one on their chest.
"Are you cold?" Shen Bing hadn't said anything all the way, but suddenly asked me.
I smiled slightly: "It's not cold." Saying that I wasn't cold was a lie. The ashes were wrapped in a windbreaker, and I only had a sweater on the outside, which didn't block the wind at all. When a breeze blew, all the wind got into the sweater, and my whole body was covered with goose bumps.
Shen Bing looked down at the package and said softly, "I'll buy you another one later."
"Ah" a sharp scream came out from the valley with the wind, breaking the silence of the night sky, it was very harsh!
We were all shocked and stood up.
"It's Chen Ming..." Wang Yang shouted nervously, then rushed into the valley.
