Chapter 247 Tracking
Chapter 247: Ghost Hunt
After Bai Yanliang came up from the well, he found that the atmosphere between Yu Wenxuan and Jiang Li was a bit strange.
"What happened?" Bai Yanliang looked at Jiang Li, who was sitting on the ground, rubbing his ankles, and Yu Wenxuan, who was standing aside taking a rest. This scene looked like a domestic violence scene.
"Didn't you hear us talking down there?" Yu Wenxuan glanced at him.
"No." Bai Yanliang was very sure that he didn't hear any sound underground.
"Okay, it's not a big deal," Yu Wenxuan glanced at Bai Yanliang from top to bottom, "Did you find anything?"
"Yeah." Bai Yanliang nodded, "Talking as we walk."
"Are you okay?" Bai Yanliang asked while extending his hand to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li shook his head, with a look of fear still on his face. Obviously, what happened just now was not as big a deal as Yu Wenxuan said.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Bai Yanliang didn't ask.
"Let's go."
The three of them walked side by side towards the center of the village.
"How many ghosts do you think there are in this village?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked as he walked and looked at the unoccupied houses around him.
A few...
His understatement was like asking you how many bowls of rice you had last night.
He is still so strange... Jiang Li thought to himself.
"To clarify this problem, we must first find out how many illusory phenomena there are in this village, and whether those illusory phenomena are caused by the same ghost." Yu Wenxuan said with his arms folded.
"Yes." Bai Yanliang also crossed his arms and nodded.
"The shroud, the mouth of the well, and the illusory phenomenon Jiang Li encountered just now should be the work of the same ghost."
Yu Wenxuan said.
"But what happened to the plague that broke out in the village twelve years ago, and these villagers who were humans during the day and ghosts at night?" Yu Wenxuan frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out the connection at the moment.
"It's the same ghost." Bai Yanliang gave his answer.
"I saw the reappearance of the death scene. The source of the plague in the village, the appearance of the shroud, and the changes at the wellhead all originated from a baby." Bai Yanliang looked at the ground, "The plague broke out twelve years ago. That baby was there during the plague." Born before now, he is at least twenty-three years old this year.”
"Is it Kangkang?!" Jiang Li suddenly thought of the little boy from the village chief's family.
This village is full of old people, only his appearance matches them.
But... it's not entirely consistent, because Kangkang looks like he's only eight or nine years old. So what's going on?
Jiang Li asked his doubts, "But Kangkang looks only eight or nine years old, not like a child..."
"He may not be a human being." Bai Yanliang said, and at the same time he looked at Yu Wenxuan, "I saw the swaddling clothes from twelve years ago at the bottom of the well, and a humanoid body. Something came out of that body. Out.”
Something... came out...
This statement made Jiang Li shudder.
How could there be such a strange thing in the world?
But after thinking about it, even Wuji and Ligui exist, and the existence of such "creatures" does not seem to be unacceptable.
"Maybe, we should find out when Kangkang appeared in the village." "That's right."
Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan said one sentence each.
"But..." Bai Yanliang hesitated for a moment and said, "There is another very strange thing. In the pictures I saw, this village was very strange before the outbreak of the plague. There were white mourning clothes hanging at the door of every house."
"Oh?" Yu Wenxuan also showed a surprised look.
"So, those red shrouds were originally supposed to be white mourning robes?"
"Yeah."
Bai Yanliang lowered his eyes and pondered. This was the part that puzzled him the most. This village seemed to have some weird customs.
"Filial filial piety... Let the whole village wear sackcloth and mourn. Who is the person who died..." Yu Wenxuan murmured.
"This is the clue we should look for."
Bai Yanliang said, and at the same time, he glanced at Jiang Li, "I remember that you entered an ancestral hall."
"Yeah." When Jiang Li answered, she glanced at Yu Wenxuan secretly. At the last moment, she was tied up by a huge woman with her hair. She survived thanks to Yu Wenxuan's rescue.
Although according to Yu Wenxuan, the woman was not a ghost but a sick person, Jiang Li didn't believe it this time.
That kind of disease may make the villagers become like Mrs. Wu, who becomes bloodthirsty and cruel at night, drinking blood like hair, but no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to make one person's hair suddenly grow long and then tie another person's feet. ?
And... that tall woman's aura is completely different.
If Mrs. Wu's body was filled with the stench of decay, then her body was filled with the purest coldness.
This was not the first time that Jiang Li felt the coldness. Most of the ghosts had that kind of weird and shuddering aura.
He could see it, and it was impossible for Yu Wenxuan not to see it, but he deliberately risked his life to help, and described it as an ordinary random act.
This made Jiang Li puzzled and curious about him.
"Jiang Li? Jiang Li?"
"Ah..." When Jiang Li came back to her senses, she realized that Bai Yanliang's hand was shaking in front of her eyes, and Yu Wenxuan was also looking at her expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry...I was distracted."
"It's okay." Bai Yanliang didn't care whether she was distracted, but continued to ask, "Did you see anything in the ancestral hall? Something weird or something like that."
Strange stuff...
After Bai Yanliang mentioned this word, the first thing Jiang Li thought of was those portraits.
"Yes... yes!" Jiang Li nodded, "There are three portraits hanging on the wall of the ancestral hall, of three men... But at the time, I thought those three portraits were very strange. The people in the paintings seemed to have been staring at me. , I didn’t dare to look carefully..."
"Kind lady, this is not an illusory phenomenon, it is a natural phenomenon." Yu Wenxuan's eyes made Jiang Li very unhappy, "When our eyes look at a flat surface, no matter from which angle we look at the near point and the Far away points actually remain unchanged, and when we observe the real surface in the natural environment. Changing the viewing direction changes the visual information of near and far points. You perceptually believe that the painting is a real object, so your brain creates an optical illusion that allows you to move anywhere. When you turn in one direction, you will feel that its eyes continue to stare at you.”
Jiang Li's curiosity and vague good feelings were immediately shattered by Yu Wenxuan's mocking eyes.
This is indeed a bastard who is not easy to get along with...
However, at this time, Bai Yanliang made a silent gesture.
"Wait, don't leave yet." Bai Yanliang looked at the surrounding houses.
"Everyone in this village seems to have disappeared."
