Chapter 122: The Dead Body in the Bronze Bell

Looking at the white bone gatehouse in front of him, Sang Lan's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "These are all human bones?" ”

"No, it's animal bones." I affirmed.

To talk about the human bone structure, I am more familiar than anyone else, at a glance, did not find any human bones in the archway.

Despite this, I felt a sense of oppression that was about to suffocate.

The whole gatehouse is about three meters high, and it is completely made of white bones, and at a glance, there are not 1,000 bones, but 800 bones.

Although most of these bones are incomplete, I can make out with the naked eye the bones of at least dozens of animals because of my major.

From cattle and horses to pikas...... There are even some jagged fish bones.

"This is a veritable beast shop......" I muttered through gritted teeth.

The reason why this sentence came up is because the new district where I lived during my study was an independent county seat earlier.

The county itself is nothing special, the only thing that has been preserved to this day and can be called a scenic spot is the two archways on the old street.

It is said that there were more than 20 similar memorial arches in the county before, all of which were erected by the feudal society to commend meritorious service, Kedi, virtue and politics, as well as loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, all of which were carved and piled up with bluestone.

Judging from the two torii arches that have been preserved today, these buildings that have gathered the skills of ancient craftsmen can be described as ingenious and beautiful.

It's just that when the four old ones were broken, most of the archways were destroyed.

Now there are two left, one is called Baishi and the other is called Baishou. So when I saw this gatehouse made of all kinds of animal bones, I couldn't help but think of the latter. It's just that one is for longevity, and the other is for animal bones, and the two have two different meanings.

There is another reason that reminds me of the two old archways, that is, there are eight corner bells hanging under the eaves of the old archways.

The corner bell of the archway is shaped like a bell, and it is also carved in stone, which does not have a practical role, but only contains the meaning of religion.

Corner bells, as the name suggests, are suspended from the eaves of the house.

The gatehouse built by the animal bones in front of you is extremely similar in appearance to the archway, but directly below, there is a huge bronze bell with a high mouth and a narrow belly......

To look at the shape alone, the shape of this bronze bell is similar to that of a corner bell, but why is this bronze bell hanging in the gatehouse?

After Sang Lan figured out that the gatehouse was not a pile of human bones, she was much bolder. She was also curious about the bronze bell, and couldn't help but step forward and reach out to touch the surface of the bronze bell.

I hurriedly said, "Don't move! ”

Sang Lan was so frightened that she retracted her hand and looked at me at a loss.

"Don't you think this gatehouse and the bronze bell are evil?" I shook my head at her, "Don't touch anything you don't understand." ”

Sang Lan nodded, but she still couldn't help but bend down and look inside the bronze bell.

"Ah......h

She suddenly screamed, and retreated back in a panic, thanks to my quick opportunity, I helped her in time, otherwise the eldest lady would have to stumble and fall on her back.

"What's wrong?"

"Then look down...... There are dead people! Sang Lan said in a trembling voice with a crying voice.

I sighed in my heart, Lao Lu and Zang Zhiqiang came down before us, and I didn't see any trace of them all the way...... Could it be that something happened to the two of them?

I held Sang Lan steady, walked to the bronze bell step by step, squatted down and looked up at the bell.

Just one glance, my whole body trembled violently, and I almost didn't shout.

There was a dead man hanging in the clock!

The reason why I reacted strongly was also because the dead man was hanging upside down in the bell with his head and feet, and the dead man was facing this way, and I could not see his face, but I could see that he was bald!

"Zang Zhiqiang?"

I barely swallowed, raised my eyes to the fire, and took a closer look through the light, secretly relieved.

This dead body is not up and down, although it is bald, but judging from the outline of the back of the upper body and the curve of the crotch, it is a woman.

The woman's skin was green on the surface, but her muscles were still full, and according to my professional judgment, even if it was winter, the woman would not have been dead for more than ......

Out of professional instinct, I subconsciously wanted to judge the time of death of the corpse, but just as I was focusing on the skin on the back of the corpse, suddenly, I don't know where a gust of wind blew.

The gust of wind was not enough to make the heavy bronze bell shake, however, as the gust of wind blew, the body of the bald female corpse that had been facing away from me suddenly twisted around, and I was facing each other, and the eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened!

Even though I'm used to seeing dead people, I'm still scared by this sudden situation.

I tried to back off, but I only took a step under my feet and froze.

The female corpse did open her eyes, and there was a deep resentment in her eyes, but her pupils had long since dilated, and there was no life at all.

What made me stand on the spot was that as I retreated, I could see the face of the female corpse clearly, and this face was actually the one I had ever seen!

"How could it be her?"

I muttered, but finally I couldn't hold it anymore and sat down on the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Sang Lan ran over and tried to pull me up, but when she bent over, she also saw the situation under the bronze bell.

She was obviously trembling at first, and then blurted out: "It's her?!" ”

"Hmm...... It's her. I closed my eyes and rolled over and got up.

Sang Lan's face became more and more pale, and she couldn't stop trembling all over, obviously terrified to the extreme.

I wasn't surprised by her reaction.

My acquaintance with her and Ji Yayun originated from a disaster, and the upside-down female corpse in the bronze bell was definitely one of the sources of that 'nightmare' for her. The psychological shadow left on her is bound to be difficult to get rid of for the rest of her life.

"Why is she here? Why is it in this bronze bell? Sang Lan almost cried.

I gritted my teeth, "Didn't you already know that she was brought here?" ”

"Why are they here?" The identity of the corpse apparently made Sang Lan lose her mind and was on the verge of collapse.

"Actually, the answer has been there for a long time, hasn't it?" I pursed my lips, "316...... That's the mother, three. They came to this hotel thirteen years ago! It was the 'ghost' that you and I couldn't see, telling the 'little glasses': 'If someone from the Ling family dies, bring her here'. ”

"The people of the Ling family...... When you were in Guduo Village, you let them go...... They came here thirteen years ago......"

Sang Lan seemed to suddenly think of something, with tears in her eyes, but she stared at me with wide eyes, "That fat man has been to the third floor, is he ......?"

Sang Lan didn't continue to speak, in fact, she didn't need to say it, she had obviously thought of Shi Fatzi's true identity.

I could only nod at her, Sang Lan choked for a moment, then looked at me suspiciously and asked, "You knew it was him?" Then why don't you break it? Why take him with you? ”
