There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 276: Fu Lu Shou Cemetery and the Bone Collector
Lei Bing fled the scene in a panic while muttering "I'm sorry" to himself. He hailed a taxi and his whole body was shaking after getting in. It was not because he was cold, but because he was filled with fear.

Because it was the death video he sent to Gao Fei last night.

No...it wasn't him!!!
It was the shadow in the death video that did this! ! ! !
Ever since he applied for a high-paying job half a month ago, picked up the phone, and accidentally watched the video in it, he has been targeted by the shadow.

Lei Bing shuddered at the thought of the dark shadow in the video.

Gao Fei is dead.

Will he be next?

After a long time, until the driver reminded him to get off the car, Lei Bing finally came to his senses. He originally wanted to scan the code to pay, but found that the balance was insufficient. In the end, he could only take out the cash that he had hardly used for a long time from his pocket. After paying the money, he came to the cheap house he had just rented.

He took out the key and opened the door. A chill that penetrated deep into his bones suddenly rushed out of the closed room. Lei Bing realized that he almost forgot the time. He hurriedly trotted in and knelt down devoutly in front of the mobile phone on the altar.

Then he took out three incense sticks from the cabinet and lit them.

General incense offerings are usually mixed with a variety of natural spices and Chinese medicinal materials. They emit a pleasant fragrance after being lit and often have some soothing and calming effects.

But when the three incense sticks were lit, they gave off a foul and unpleasant smell.

Some of them are like burning corpse oil.

Oddly enough, when the three incense sticks were lit, the chill in the room began to gradually dissipate.

Half a month ago, a supernatural incident happened around him. However, since he was keen on reading horror novels and joined many group chats that studied ghosts, when he saw the black shadow appear, he realized that he had encountered a ghost.

Then I found such a method through a group chat.

This is also the reason why he was able to survive for more than half a month.

However, these three incense sticks were expensive, and he spent all his savings on them.

In fact, he forgot to burn incense last night, which led to the dark shadow controlling his mobile phone and sending such a death video to his former colleague.

The three he ordered now are his last in stock.

I can't stop burning the incense until I find a way to solve the problem.

So Lei Bing started to borrow money from various online platforms.

The loan arrives quickly, but some unscrupulous platforms deduct half of the fee.

But he couldn't care less about so many things now. After all, there was hope only when people were alive. If he died, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about paying back the money.

After doing all this, Lei Bing felt exhausted.

Although he had not seen the dark shadow in the past half month, he always felt weak all over. He went to the hospital for a check-up and the result was osteoporosis.

After taking the medicine, Lei Bing prepared to go to bed, but at this moment, he glanced at the altar and found that the three incense sticks were burning at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the past, these three incense sticks could last a whole day.

Why is the fever so fast today? ! ! !
Just then, the lights in the house began to flicker wildly.

Lei Bing was horrified to find a dark shadow in the room.

It's it!

It has appeared again!
As the lights flickered, the dark shadow was getting closer.

Lei Bing's body froze, fear overwhelmed him like a tide...

Just when Lei Bing was about to lose consciousness, an explosion suddenly sounded beside his ear, and then the whole house seemed to tremble. In a trance, Lei Bing saw a young man carrying a medical box appear.

"It's nothing to threaten ordinary people and suck out their bones and souls."

Lu Yue broke into the room and interrupted the black shadow's actions in time.

"Come and try to scare me. I have a tough body and a tough soul!!"

The black shadow immediately changed its target and pounced towards Lu Yue.

"Hey, you really dare to hit me?"

"court death!"

Lu Yue formed seals with his hands, and a golden handprint blasted towards the black shadow.

The Nine-Character Mantra to Subdue Demons and Exorcise Evil Spirits Seal is specifically designed to target those evil spirits. It has no effect on living people and some normal extraordinary people. It is most suitable for this kind of narrow terrain, and the situation where hostages and ghosts are closely entangled.

The black shadow was dispersed instantly.

There was no source energy prompt sound in my mind.

Lu Yue was a little surprised, but he soon realized that this was not the ghost itself, but somewhat like a curse, and the source of the curse was unknown.

No wonder they resorted to such a low-level method as scaring the victim to death.

This curse is very low, and basically you'll be fine as long as you're not afraid of it.

But in fact, few people can do without fear.

Looking at the frightened victim, Lu Yue stretched out his palm and placed it on Lei Bing's skin. His blood now contained essence fire, which made the blood and qi in his body tend to be pure, so even through the skin, he could expel the evil energy in the opponent's body and reignite the opponent's weak yang fire.

Not long after, Lei Bing came to his senses and shouted, "There's a ghost!!!"

Lu Yue explained the situation and tried to calm the other party down.

I learned about the death video from the other party's intermittent answers.

Then he looked at the altar in the room and took the mobile phone from it. It was a very cheap domestic mobile phone with some faint negative energy remaining on it. Obviously, it was just the carrier of the curse of the ghost behind the scenes.

Compared to this ordinary mobile phone, the three burnt incense sticks caught Lu Yue's attention. Even though they were burnt out, he could still smell the stench of corpse.

This incense is very special and it doesn't seem like something an ordinary person can make.

According to Lei Bing, after he discovered that he was being targeted by a ghost, he specially bought the incense from a netizen at a high price. The incense seems to be called Sanshi Incense.

Regarding this matter, Lu Yue consulted Dr. Zhang.

Learned something about incense.

Since ancient times, burning incense has been an ancient and mysterious ritual.

It can be used to cultivate one's character and also to communicate between people and gods and ghosts.

It is recorded in the Taoist classic "Taiqing Yuce" that there are a total of 24 kinds of incense charts and 72 kinds of incense charts, each representing a different meaning and effect.

This involves Master Fang’s expertise.

The other party inherited the mantle of an old Taoist elder and also possessed the ability to make incense. The smoke-transforming incense was one of their types, but no one knew which incense spectrum it was.

In addition to the more orthodox incenses, there are also some incenses called "wild incenses" circulating among the people. These so-called wild incenses are not recognized by the mainstream because their production methods are extremely cruel and their effects tend to be evil and extreme.

For example, this Three Corpse Incense is made from the ashes of a resentful corpse, hundred-year-old corpse oil, and the last breath of a person who died suddenly before he died.

Specially used to worship evil spirits.

Usually, when decent incense is offered to ghosts, the ghosts will protect the people who burn the incense. However, if this kind of evil incense is offered to evil ghosts, the evil ghosts will become addicted, and this evil incense will only continue to stimulate their greed and tyranny.
In the short term, the person who burns incense may not suffer backlash, but in the long run, if a large amount of evil incense cannot be continuously provided, the person who burns incense will be harmed by the evil spirits.

If Lu Yue had not taken action in time today, Lei Bing would have suffered a miserable end.

However, after carefully checking the group chat, Lu Yue found that it had no direct connection with this incident. It was most likely that Lei Bing asked for help from netizens and accidentally came into contact with this extraordinary person who made folk evil incense.

The probability of this happening is very high, after all, the purpose of making bad incense is to make dirty money.

Back to the topic, Lu Yue watched the death video on his mobile phone.

At the same time, we also learned how Lei Bing obtained this mobile phone.

Half a month ago, Lei Bing resigned and wanted to find a high-paying job that paid well, was close to home, required no skills, and had low requirements. Perhaps influenced by some jokes on the Internet, he thought that jobs related to the dead would pay well, so he searched on a famous recruitment software.

Unexpectedly, I actually found a job as a cemetery patroller.

The monthly salary for the day shift is 2 yuan, and the monthly salary for the night shift is yuan, with two days off a month, food and accommodation provided, five insurances and one fund paid, and a yuan bonus every year. No academic qualifications or experience are required.

In the words of netizens, as long as the money is in place, the body can be brought back even if it runs away.

There is nothing more terrible than being poor in this world, especially men are more afraid of being poor, because poverty is the original sin. It is easy to be born and to live, but living is really not easy.

With this thought in mind, Lei Bing set out for the cemetery early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the cemetery, he saw a young man who claimed to be a patrolman running out in a hurry, claiming that the cemetery was haunted and that people should never go in. After that, the patrolman ran away from the cemetery frantically.

Only a mobile phone was left on the ground.

Lei Bing wanted to remind the other party, but the other party had already run away without a trace. Then he was successfully hired and tried out for a day. However, an old man who worked the day shift told him that the place was not clean. Then at night, when he was in the silent cemetery, he found that he really couldn't do this job, so he sneaked back.

That night, out of curiosity, he opened the phone he had picked up and wanted to contact the owner. Unexpectedly, the phone seemed to be infected with a virus and automatically played a video.

The person in the video is the patrolman seen during the day.

After that, he was targeted by a black shadow. Fortunately, he was not destined to die and avoided the black shadow's threats that night through some folk methods taught by group members. Then he bought expensive Three Corpse Incense from another group member to offer to the evil ghost.

To be honest, the Sanshi incense arrived very quickly, it actually arrived the next day.

It seems that the person who made the Sanshi incense is in Zhoucheng.

In the end, Lei Bing only managed to hold on for half a month.

From this, Lu Yue obtained an important clue.

Fu Lu Shou Cemetery. However, before that, he had to find the person who filmed the video.

Lu Yue was very curious about how the other party survived a situation where he was sure to die.

Using some contacts in the phone, Lu Yue called the original owner to inform him that the phone had been found, and successfully found out the original owner's address.

Not long after, Lu Yue found the patrolman who filmed the video.

Just because of the experience of encountering a ghost that night, the previous patrolman locked himself in the house and dared not go out. He still kept the lights on even in broad daylight. It was obvious that he had suffered serious psychological trauma.

Although the opponent survived, due to long-term isolation and the bad luck of encountering ghosts, his magnetic field was completely disordered, and his situation was even worse than Lei Bing's.

In this case, using yang qi and blood is not the right medicine.

Therefore, Lu Yue used the "Light of the Saint" instead, using purple light to directly dispel the bad luck that had accumulated in the other party for the past half month, allowing the other party to be reborn.

Then he successfully learned the real reason why the other person survived that night.

That evening, this patrolman, who had just joined the job a few days ago and was challenging the high salary, was on night patrol when he suddenly discovered that some tombs had been dug up and the corpses inside had been excavated. At first he thought it was a thief and immediately took out his mobile phone to record it so that he could go to his boss to claim the reward early in the morning.

It turned out that the thief was actually a skeleton covered with clothes.

This scene scared him so much that he almost lost his soul. He desperately ran to the dormitory, and then the scene in the death video happened. However, due to poor lighting and poor pixel quality of the mobile phone, outsiders could only see a black shadow.

In the end, when the patrolman was about to be frightened to death and sucked of the bone soul by the skeleton, he saw a woman passing by and fought off the skeleton.

When the patrolman described the woman's appearance, Lu Yue was 100% certain that the woman was Captain Zhong and that his investigation was on the right track.

Fu Lu Shou Cemetery.

Excavated tombs, stolen bones, skeletons...

These are all key clues.

In addition, Lu Yue also learned something. In the bizarre incidents that occurred in Zhoucheng over the past month, the victims did have something in common. The common point was that the deceased had all been to Fu Lu Shou Cemetery to pay homage to their deceased relatives.

Without further ado, Lu Yue immediately set off for Fu Lu Shou Cemetery.

.........

In traditional culture, the choice of a cemetery is particularly concerned with feng shui.

It is generally believed that a cemetery with good feng shui can bring blessings to future generations.

Usually, cemeteries with excellent feng shui often have some notable characteristics.

For example, a cemetery should be located in a place surrounded by mountains. In Feng Shui, mountains are regarded as the symbol of dragons. Being surrounded by mountains means that the dragon energy is strong, which helps the ancestors to rest in peace. It also means that the descendants will be stable and prosperous, with long-lasting fortunes.

There is also the place where mountains meet, which is regarded as the node of dragon veins. The auras at the node converge and merge, which helps to boost the careers of future generations.

As well as a place for overlooking, a broad field of vision is regarded as a symbol of lofty vision and broad mind, indicating that outstanding people may appear among future generations.

In addition, the place where rivers converge, with its back against mountains and facing the water, is regarded as a water mouth, a symbol of wealth gathering. Having its back against mountains means having a solid backing and foundation, which will help future generations to prosper in their careers and wealth.

"........."

Zhoucheng Fulushou Cemetery just possesses the above characteristics.

Moreover, this cemetery does not bury ashes, but bodies.

If you search for information about Fu Lu Shou Cemetery on the Internet, you can find some clues in some unofficial media. Some people claim that the cemetery is haunted, many tombs have been dug up by ghosts, and some remains have mysteriously disappeared, but there has been no widespread attention.

When Lu Yue rushed to the scene, he saw a recruitment notice posted on the telephone pole outside Fu Lu Shou. It was the same as what Lei Bing had seen. The monthly salary was as high as 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. The job content was patrolling, and there were also a lot of bonuses.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Yue decided to apply for this job.

I didn't expect this job to be so popular that there was a group of people vying for it.

When the person in charge came to the site for recruitment, Lu Yue faced this group of applicants who were dazzled by the high salary and said calmly: "I only want the city's minimum monthly salary."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person in charge immediately decided to hire Lu Yue.

This is not only because Lu Yue is cheap.

Moreover, Lu Yue's eyes were bright and he was full of vigor and vitality.

It's obvious that he's a natural candidate for the job of cemetery patroller.

Afterwards, the person in charge informed Lu Yue that he would start work that day and would have a three-day probation period during which time his salary would be paid as usual and a formal contract would be signed after three days.

Lu Yue naturally had no objection, after all, he was not really looking for a job.

Then, the person in charge led Lu Yue to hand over the work to another older patrolman. The cemetery patrol work originally required two people, one day shift and one night shift, who took turns on duty. However, since the young man on the night shift suddenly resigned half a month ago, this old man was left alone.

After the person in charge left, Lu Yue started chatting with the old employee.

We learned that the old man's name was Zhao Dashan, and he was in his sixties. He used to work on a construction site, but because of his poor health in the past two years, he found this relatively easy job to support himself in his retirement.

Yes, these are the other party’s exact words.

Retirement here...

I don’t know if it’s the cemetery’s internal employee discount price.

Lu Yue couldn't help but complain in his heart. After all, he knew that the cemeteries here ranged from tens of thousands to millions, and most people couldn't afford to die there.

The next step was for the old employees to familiarize the new employees with the environment, while Lu Yue took the opportunity to get to know the geographical environment. Just as he was getting halfway familiar with it, Uncle Zhao suddenly said, "Young man, if I were you, I wouldn't come here to look for a job. It's not clean here at night."

Lu Yue: "It's okay. I'm not a very clean person."

Seeing that Lu Yue didn't take it seriously, Uncle Zhao said bluntly: "This place is haunted at night. The last young man of your age left not long after doing it."

"Haunted? Impossible. How could there be ghosts in this world?"

Lu Yue deliberately curled his lips to express his doubt.

So, Uncle Zhao started to talk about his experiences during this period.

Every night, a skeleton would appear in the cemetery and start digging graves and stealing bones. The previous night patrol officers mistook it for a thief stealing bones and set up an ambush overnight. Unexpectedly, the thief died tragically in the dormitory the next day. He was frightened to death.

There wasn't a single bone in the body.

The two things of grave digging and death had a great impact on the cemetery business. After all, the business of dead bodies was very profitable. So the big boss behind the cemetery spent a huge amount of money to bribe the family members, paying one million each to settle the matter.

The only one who was lucky was Lu Yue’s ex.

That is, the person who filmed the video was lucky enough to escape.

"Uncle Zhao, why aren't you afraid?" Lu Yue asked curiously.

Uncle Zhao shook his head and sighed, "These things only happened at night. I work the day shift, and I'm almost 70 years old. The last time I secretly went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with advanced cancer. I only have a few months to live. If I really die, this one million yuan in compensation can also allow my grandson to buy a house and get married..."

Lu Yue was stunned.

This is indeed a gamble with your life. If you don't die, you can easily make 10,000 yuan a month. If something unfortunate happens, you can also leave a compensation money for your family.

This was Uncle Zhao's own decision, and Lu Yue had no right to interfere.

There is no need to criticize others from a moral high ground.

Lu Yue sent his blessings to Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao didn't say anything more. He just warned Lu Yue when he was leaving get off work not to go out at night no matter what noise he heard. After all, young people still have a lot of life left, and staying alive is the most important thing.

Lu Yue nodded, and after sending Uncle Zhao off to work the day shift, he returned to the dormitory and sat down.

As time passed, night finally fell.

During this period, Lu Yue exchanged information with Doctor Zhang and learned the latest progress of the Taicheng siege plan. At present, the members of the Demon Suppression Bureau from other places are in place. Tomorrow, Doctor Zhang will hold a team-building party and inform all official extraordinary people to attend.

Take this opportunity to smash the cup as a signal to catch all the "enemies" in one fell swoop.

Lu Yue originally thought that it would be a very complicated and sophisticated plan like in some movies, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and direct - treat, eat, and behead.

Then Doctor Zhang asked Lu Yue if he needed anything to add.

Lu Yue half-jokingly said, "Don't use paper cups."

Doctor Zhang: “…”

Finally, the two talked about Lu Yue's progress.

After learning about the stolen bones from the cemetery, Dr. Zhang forwarded a post.

The annotation may be related to the case that Lu Yue is investigating.

This is a post titled "True Records of the Bone Collector".

"There is a horrible profession among the people. Every evening, they haunt graveyards and dry tombs, dealing with all kinds of rotting corpses. Sometimes they even have to endure the stench and wash the bones. This is the bone examiner who walks between the Yin and Yang worlds, also known as the undertaker."

"In modern times, due to the popularity of cremation, this profession is now rumored to be on the verge of extinction. Bone picking is also known as picking up gold, washing bones, and Qi Zan. Some descendants will specially hire a bone picker to examine the bones when they move their graves, so it is also called secondary burial."

"As the saying goes, flesh is broken after three years, and bones are broken after seven years. If a person is buried for more than three years, the flesh will basically rot away, and the bones of a skull will not be connected after more than seven years. Not everyone is qualified to collect bones. Death before the age of six is ​​considered premature death, and death between six and twelve years old is considered unnecessary death. Bones of these two types cannot be collected."

"Do you know what the purpose of the bones collected by the bone collector is..."

Just as Lu Yue continued browsing, he suddenly heard a slight "creaking" sound in his ears. A gust of cold wind suddenly pushed open the window glass and rushed into the room. The hot air air conditioner that was originally whirring was instantly ineffective in the face of this biting cold wind.

The temperature in the whole room dropped sharply and it became chilly.
