Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 240 Midnight Funeral Team

I comforted Xiaomengkong, saying that Sister Tongtong would come out soon. At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that I must do my best to find the millennium ginseng mentioned in the book.

Xiaomengkong pulled me to look for it, but it's not that easy, I can only tell her to stay on the top of the mountain, we can see the thing when it comes out, and then just catch up and catch it.

Xiao Mengkong seemed to understand, and sat with me on the tallest rock, enduring the cold and strong wind, and sat for several hours.During this period, I needed to keep looking around to discover the abnormalities that occurred within the sight range of dozens of kilometers around the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, there is a little Mengkong by my side, so the long night is not so boring, but in this huge mountain, after coming down for a night, there is nothing unusual, not even a ghost fire.

At about five o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mengkong returned to the beads, and I was ready to go down the mountain.The branches and weeds on the road were covered with dew, and after walking for a few minutes, half of the trouser legs were wet.At this time, suddenly a light cluster slowly rose from a mountain below, flying upwards almost in a straight line.

This light group is yellow and white, a bit like a Kongming lantern made of white paper, and it is at least two or three kilometers away from my location.It might be a Kongming lantern, but the wind in the air is so strong that this thing can rise slowly and straightly without being blown away, which makes me think it is not a Kongming lantern.Because there is a lot of fog on the mountain in the early morning, although my eyesight is good, I can only see these. I can't confirm whether it is a Kongming lantern, and let's talk about where the Kongming lanterns come from in the mountains.

I just stood and watched the light cluster until it went up high in the sky and went out, and then I couldn't see it anymore.After waiting for more than ten minutes, the light cluster did not appear again, so I immediately walked down the mountain.

When I came here, I climbed straight up, but now I don’t get lost when I go straight down, and I returned to the sandy beach in a short time.There is a bonfire on the rock pile not far from the tent, which has not been completely extinguished and is still rising with smoke.

Entering the tent, the little brother Beast and the fat man were still asleep, and there was a cooked meat hanging on the top of the tent, which looked like a roast fox.I have caught many of these things in the mountains before, and sometimes a trap can catch a hare and a fox at the same time.

It should be reserved for me, they asked lazily before they woke up, I just took it and started eating, it was ten thousand times more delicious than eating dry food and salty canned food.

After eating and roasting the fox, I took off the clothes soaked in the morning dew and changed them, and went to the pool to wash the clothes. It was already dawn.Going back to the tent to sleep until noon, the little brother Qinshou was playing cards with the fat man. They bought a deck of cards on the mountain.

I told the little brother Qinshou what I found last night, and the three of them discussed and decided to go to that mountain to see tonight.

In the evening, we set off as soon as night fell, with flashlights and guns on our backs, and walked towards the mountain.In addition to the main road into the mountain, there is also a small road to the top of the mountain. The small road can only be passed by one person, and two people who are parallel have to squeeze into the bushes on the side of the road.

The three of us walked in the mountains at night, with the light of the flashlight and the gun on our backs, the little brother Qinshou and the fat man would not feel afraid, and of course I would not be afraid.In less than an hour, I walked to the approximate location where I saw the light cluster rising in the early morning, found a lawn and sat down.

I closed my eyes and began to feel the breath nearby. If there are mountain spirits and wild monsters nearby, I can faintly feel it with my sixth sense.In particular, some sunken and sun-gathering places are the lairs of goblins and wild monsters. If someone passes through such places at night, they will encounter ghosts hitting the wall, or see some scary things.For example, someone throws a stone at you, or hears a scary sound, such as a woman crying in the grass or an old man moaning
But as soon as I closed my eyes, the little brother Qinshou yelled that something was wrong, I quickly opened my eyes and asked him what was wrong.The beast's little brother shined the flashlight on a tree on the hillside above, and asked what it was!The picture above is horrible.

I looked at the tree, and sure enough, there was a white thing hanging on the top of the tree, the size of a small car, which was being blown by the wind but did not fall down.There are weird grimaces painted on it, made up of various colors, it feels a bit like Peking Opera facial makeup, very scary.

I saw it right away, it was a Kongming lantern, and I wondered if it was the light cluster I saw when I went down the mountain in the early morning!The fire is gone and it falls down.But the wind was so strong last night, if that thing was a Kongming lantern, how could it fall to the same place if it was raised here!I don't understand.

The pine tree is too big and tall, and it grows on the dangerous sloping hillside. It is impossible for us to take the risk of climbing the tree to take down the Kongming lantern, so we have to tell the beast little brother that the Kongming lantern placed outside the mountain may have fallen into the mountain, and it is nothing. Worth all the fuss about.

Although I said this on my lips, I knew in my heart that this thing is weird, so wait here tonight to have a look!
That night we waited here until twelve o'clock in the evening, and we saw the Kongming lanterns raised again, just 600 meters below us, separated by a dense forest.

The little brother Qinshou has very good ears, and said that there are faint sounds of many people walking down there, how can there be so many people in this mountain at night!

The fat man was taken aback by the little brother Qinshou's words, and asked if it might be the dark soldiers passing by as the old man said, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be so many people in the mountains, and it would be late at night.

I told them that it was impossible. Although I had never seen Yin soldiers and the like, I knew they were spirit bodies, and it was impossible for them to make noise when walking.But the leaves are too dense in the mountains, and I can't see the situation below, maybe a group of animals or not.

Little brother Qinshou held a gun and asked me, how about the three of us go down and have a look together, if it is human, we can say hello, if it is not human and has malicious intentions, a bullet will greet them.

Fatty and I nodded, let’s do it this way, so we got into the dense forest below and moved towards the sound.It was very dark in the dense forest, and the flashlight could not be turned on. This was a pain for the little brother Qinshou and Fatty. Fortunately, I was leading the way ahead, and they just followed.

After passing through the dense forest for 300 meters, we came to a small mountain road, and then the three of us climbed onto the trees on the side of the road.

No one spoke, and the extremely dense leaves hid us very well, and the three of us waited in fear for something unknown to approach.After about ten minutes, I saw a man in white clothes, white trousers and a white hat walking out of the corner of the mountain road ahead, holding a wooden sign with writing in his hand.Then came the second and third people, and then a group of people came out, about thirty or forty people.The person in the middle is carrying two coffins, but these two coffins are not painted, they are still log-colored, and it seems that they should be built in a hurry in the past two days.

It can be seen that they are indeed human beings, not the feared Yin soldiers, but real people, there should be a village nearby!

This is a funeral procession, but it is the first time I have come across this custom, why there is a funeral in the middle of the night, and why are there two coffins!There must be a story in it.

Little Brother Qinshou and Fatty didn't relax when they saw this funeral procession, they were even more frightened, tugged at the corner of my clothes, and asked in a low voice what it was, it must be Lord Yama's Bai Wuchang Yin Soldier!I told him not to talk nonsense, this is obviously a person, he should be from a village near the mountain.

The little brother Qinshou cried and said, since these are human beings, why are they carrying two coffins in the mountains in the middle of the night without making a sound and without a flashlight.

I told him that I didn't know either, it should be a local custom!Or the dead person is unusual, how about we follow behind quietly.

The fat man hesitated for a while and still agreed, but the little brother Qinshou was timid, but he didn't dare to refuse, he just didn't speak.Because he knew that Fatty and I had left, he would not dare to stay here alone, it was several kilometers away from the place where the tent was set up, how could he have the guts to go back alone.I won't worry about him going back, maybe he gets lost, and it's not good to meet some mountain spirits and wild monsters.

So after the funeral procession left, the three of us quietly followed behind, keeping a distance of more than 200 meters.Since they didn't have a flashlight, they couldn't see that far with the dim moonlight, because the mountain was covered by trees, and the effect of the moonlight was not as good as the open place below the mountain.

The three of them followed the funeral team over one hill after another, and arrived at a relatively large mountain.After following for more than half an hour, the funeral procession stopped at a slightly flat place, and my little brother Qinshou and I immediately hid in the bushes not far away.

It's so dark you can't see anything!The fat man was a little unhappy.

yes!Follow him all the way to see what, even if you have a flashlight, you can't turn it on, the little brother Qinshou continued what he said.

I smiled and said nothing, ignored them, and looked at the place where the funeral procession stayed. Two holes had already been dug on the ground, which should have been dug during the day.The two unpainted coffins, I feel very weird, but I can't tell you the specifics. After all, I don't have sharp eyes, so I can't see what's inside the coffins.

Those people started to put the coffins into the pit, and people started to bury the soil in it. During this process, there was neither incense nor candles, let alone setting off firecrackers. It was very weird anyway.

They buried it not long after, and the two new graves were only two meters apart. Everyone surrounded the new grave, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then went back the same way and left.After they were far away, the three of us got out from the bushes. I suggested to go to the grave to have a look, but the little brother Qinshou and the fat man repeatedly refused.

"What's so interesting about this! There must be a dead person in the coffin, and it's not our relatives. Let's go back quickly!" Little Brother Qinshou suggested.

"Yeah! There's nothing to see, it's scary in the middle of the night, let's go back!" the fat man echoed.

But I didn't agree, so I had to tell them to wait for me where I was, and I ran over to see it alone, and then I walked towards the two graves.
