The four people at the back were arranged in two rows, the middle one was a middle-aged man and woman, and the last row was an elderly man and woman. This was a fucking weird situation, similar to the corpse-driving in Xiangxi, but much scarier than the corpse-driving.
After they passed by, we waited patiently for a while. When no more ghosts appeared, we slipped out from behind the wall and crouched forward along the ruins. We were also very nervous. Tracking ghosts is not like tracking people. It is easy to be discovered. Fortunately, we are all ghosts now. As long as we try to float, we will not make any sound. Unlike these ghosts, they are so real and walk with their feet.
I walked forward for a long time, and the Wrongful Death City seemed very large. I couldn't see the end yet. The oil lamp didn't turn, but drifted straight forward along the street. I turned my head and kept looking at the ruins on both sides, thinking that from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many wrongfully dead ghosts have lived here. In fact, the biggest murderer of wrongful death is war. When a war breaks out, the casualties of soldiers are still few, and countless civilians become victims. Aren't these all wrongfully dead ghosts? !
In this sense, the number of wrongfully dead ghosts is not much less than that of those who died of natural causes, so the scale of the City of Wrongful Death must be quite large.
I looked at my watch. Damn, it stopped working in the underworld. But I felt the time. We had been here for quite some time. If this was like the Jiuyou Street, the oil lamp would drift to the end and my hair would turn white waiting for it. What should I do? Just as I was worrying, I realized that the oil lamp had stopped. The blue light stopped on a well.
The well was in the middle of the street, with an octagonal edge that looked very old. There were words engraved on it, and under the blue light, it was very clear that it was the three big characters "Soul Devouring Well". There was also a ghost sitting behind the edge of the well, with its eyes closed, as if it was asleep, but it looked very familiar.
I glanced at Shen Bing, thinking, could it be Shi Yuqing? But Shen Bing seemed to understand my thoughts, nodded and whispered: "Country bumpkin, you guessed it right, he is Shi Yuqing." Oh, she has become a worm in my stomach, how can she know what I am thinking
I touched my nose. Why was Shi Yuqing trapped in the Wrongful Death City? What was the purpose of the six ghosts lining up behind him? I glanced at the three words on the wellhead again. I seemed to have heard of the Soul-Eating Well. I remember my father told me about it when I was a child. The Wrongful Death ghosts were trapped in the Wrongful Death City and had no chance to be reincarnated. They were not allowed to step out of the city gate, so they lived a very miserable life.
In this situation where life is worse than death, ghosts will have suicidal thoughts just like humans, but it is not as easy for ghosts to commit suicide as for humans. They cannot die by hitting themselves, and cutting their wrists or hanging themselves are even less effective. Death is a very difficult thing. Therefore, the underworld provides them with a more humane suicide service: throwing themselves into a well!
This well is not an ordinary well. The water in the well is the dharma water sprinkled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Once the ghosts enter, they will be ecstatic. So it is named the Soul-Eating Well. There are also records about the Soul-Eating Well in the ancient books of Maoshan, saying that this well is actually located above the Netherworld. A large number of the unfortunate ghosts who jumped into the well were transferred to the Netherworld and became ghosts, continuing to live a miserable life.
Oh, I feel so sorry for them.
While I was thinking about this, the six ghosts walked to the front of the well, and as if they were arranged in some way, they walked away and sat in a circle around the well in quite an orderly manner.
At this moment, the blue light suddenly went out, and the oil lamp disappeared without a trace, vanishing out of thin air!
Shen Bing tilted her head and asked, "Why are they surrounding the well?"
After hearing this, I was suddenly startled and remembered something that this has something in common with the Seven Stars Tombs.
"Seven evil spirits surround the well, leading the ghost out of the pass"! The four people behind were arranged in two rows, the middle one was a middle-aged man and woman, and the last row was an elderly man and woman.
