It was quiet outside, and the lights were turned off, and Leizi and I were lying on the bed.

I was really tired, and when I closed my eyes, I started to feel drowsy.

Lei Zi seemed very excited and kept chattering in the bed next door: "I said Jiujizi, otherwise we will move to the Longmen Inn opposite tomorrow night, right?"

I yawned: "It's pretty good here, it's not expensive, and I can also watch the river, why do you have to leave?"

Leizi said: "If you don't move, I will move. That Miao beauty lives opposite me. I want to move over and be her neighbor, so that I can create more opportunities to get close to her!"

I turned over and said, "What if they are not a resident there?"

"Isn't it a resident there?" Lei Zi asked in confusion: "Then why did she return to her room at midnight?"

I pulled the quilt and covered my head: "Maybe it's a door-to-door service..."

"Door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-door-to-

After a while, Lei Zi sat up, smashed a pillow over and cursed angrily: "You are just here to serve! You are not allowed to insult my goddess!"

Snore!

The response to Leizi was my heavy snoring.

In the early morning, I was still playing chess with Mr. Zhou in my dream. A crackling sound of firecrackers came from the street downstairs, waking me from my sleep.

I looked up at the window. It was still a little dark outside, and it was probably only five or six o'clock in the morning.

Lei Zi was also woken up by the noise and cursed in annoyance: "The Spring Festival is almost over, who is still setting off firecrackers? It's early in the morning, is it annoying, and the quality is really low!"

I bounced a piece of eye poop: "Maybe it's a wedding!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a wailing crying sound coming from the street.

Leizi said: "You said it wrong, it's not about welcoming the bride, but about attending the funeral!"

The cries gradually went farther away. Leizi and I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep anymore. We stayed in bed for a while, and we were dull until dawn, got up and washed up, and prepared to go out for breakfast.

There were not many people in the streets in the morning, and some shops were bustling with doors.

Leizi and I found a time-honored jelly shop and ordered a bowl of jelly on each one.

Residents in the Phoenix area like to eat jelly. The jelly here has a long history and is very famous, so when we come here, we also have to try local specialty foods.

I was eating jelly, and I heard the crackling sound of firecrackers and the crying sounds shook the sky.

Leizi and I looked around curiously and found another funeral procession coming to the corner of the street.

A middle-aged woman walked in front with a black frame portrait, crying the most miserable. She was about to faint several times, and the person next to her quickly supported her.

A black lacquered coffin followed by, and the white "Dian" on the coffin was particularly eye-catching.

Behind the coffin was followed by a group of relatives and friends who were attending the funeral. Each of them was wearing coarse cloth clothes and a small white flower was tied on their chests. They looked sad. Some were throwing ghost coins into the air, while others held soul-suming banners and walked through the door of the jelly shop crying.

Lei Zi looked back at me and said in surprise: "Why are you so old here? The feng shui is not good? I saw two funeral teams early in the morning!"

I paid the boss and asked casually: "Have there been a lot of funerals recently?"

The boss frowned, sighed heavily, and said to himself: "One more died!"

The boss turned around and walked into the kitchen to get busy. Looking at the boss's back as he left, I thought to myself that the boss's words just now seemed to have something in his words, what does "one more die" mean?

To fill my stomach, Leizi and I walked out of the jelly shop and took a walk along the riverside.

This is our first time to visit Fenghuang Ancient Town, and walk around, enjoy the scenery of the ancient city and appreciate the customs and customs.

The ancient city of Phoenix was built in the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It still has its ancient appearance after more than 300 years.

The ancient city towers of the East Gate and North Gate are still there. There are also bluestone streets, wooden stilt buildings by the river, as well as Chaoyang Palace, Ancient City Museum, Yang Family Ancestral Hall, Chen Congwen’s former residence, Xiong Xiling’s former residence, Tianwang Temple, Dacheng Hall, Wanshou Palace and other buildings in the city.

The Fenghuang Ancient City uses Huilongge Ancient Street as the central axis, connecting countless stone alleys and communicating with the whole city.

Huilongge Ancient Street is a bluestone road paved vertically in line with the trend and horizontally interlaced. It has been a lively market since ancient times.

But we walked around Huilongge Ancient Street and found that there were very few tourists and it seemed quite deserted.

Logically speaking, these days should be the peak tourist season, but the ancient city of Phoenix is ​​lifeless and the tourists are sparse. Occasionally, a few passers-by look in a hurry and there is no smell of a tourist attraction at all.

Influenced by this atmosphere, Leizi and I were also indifferent. After wandering around the ancient city, we walked back to Tingyu Inn bored.

When I returned to Tingyu Inn, I saw the guy in the inn standing at the door and looking at the other side.

We followed the friend's gaze to look at the other side, and saw that outside the Longmen Inn on the other side, there was a cordon. Emergency lights were flashing, and there were many people gathering around.

"What's wrong there?" Lei Zi handed the clerk a cigarette and asked the clerk.

The guy took the cigarette and shook his head: "What else can I do? It's dead!"

The guy looked calm, as if he was no longer surprised by such things.

Leizi and I were shocked when we heard this: "What?! Is it dead again?!"

Leizi and I both added the word "克". From morning to now, including the incident at Longmen Inn, we have seen three deaths in total. The ancient city of Phoenix is ​​only the size of a palm, and the population is only a small amount. Why did so many people die in one day? Could it be... Is this just a chance?

Thinking of the strange performance of the guy last night and the cold scene of few tourists on the street, I vaguely felt that there were eight out of 10,000 things happened in the ancient city of Phoenix, otherwise people would not be panic, so deserted and bleak.

"Have you died a lot lately?" I asked the inn guy.

The guy nodded: "Yes! Since the construction of the Longmen Inn opposite, it has become uneasy in Phoenix City!"

"Why do you say that?" I asked strangely.

The reason why it is not peaceful in Phoenix City has nothing to do with that Longmen Inn?

The guy lowered his voice and said, "You are outsiders, of course you don't know. The Longmen Inn was invested by a foreign boss. It is the most luxurious inn in the ancient city. None of them, and it has invested tens of millions! There was an ancient well called the Lock Dragon Well in the former location. Since the Longmen Inn was built, the Lock Dragon Well was filled. Since then, the ancient city has become uneasy. People are dead at all times. The older generation has secretly said that it must have been when the Longmen Inn was built, the Lock Dragon Well was filled, so the dragon veins of the Fenghuang Ancient City were destroyed, which led to constant disasters in the Fenghuang Ancient City. The Dragon Prince was angry and wanted to punish the people of Fenghuang!"

"How long has this been going on?" I asked the guy.

The inn guy said: "Longmen Inn opened before the Spring Festival. I originally expected to make a lot of money during the Spring Festival. The dead incident started before the Spring Festival, when Longmen Inn opened!"

I nodded and asked the guy again: "Who are the dead?"

The guy said: "There are all kinds of people! Like the two teams that were attending the funeral this morning, one is the owner of the Chengnan Silver Jewelry Store, and the other is said to be the nephew of the deputy county magistrate!"

Lei Zi said: "No wonder this is the holiday season, there are so few tourists in the ancient city, and even passers-by on the street are in a hurry. It seems that it is affected by the continuous death incidents that it becomes so depressed and deserted!"

The guy nodded, vomited a cigarette ring and said, "Yes! Two masters, so I really kindly advise you to avoid disaster, so you should leave quickly and leave the ancient city of Phoenix and not lose your life here in vain!"

After hearing what the guy said, my curiosity was mobilized and I continued to ask: "Then... how did these people die?"

The guy's cheek twitched slightly, showing a look of fear, hesitated for a while, and squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Suddenly die!"

What?!

Storm death?!

Leizi and I were shocked. Of course we know what sudden death means. Sprint means sudden death.

Generally speaking, people who die suddenly cannot find out the cause of death.

In other words, the people who died one after another in the ancient city did not have a definite cause of death, and they died inexplicably anyway.

The guy put out the cigarette butts: "I have a buddy who works in the police station in the county. Last time he secretly told me that forensic identification, these people were all cardiac arrest!"

"Cardous arrest? Are so many people suffering from heart disease?" Lei Zi asked naively.

The guy shook his head: "What a heart disease, my buddy said. Judging from the death situation, those people seemed to have encountered something terrible, and they were scared to death!"

Scare to death?!

Leizi and I were even more shocked. What happened to these people? They were scared to death?

The inn guy coughed twice and said, "Hey, I treat you as friends, so I can tell you these things quietly. You just need to know them yourself, but don't talk nonsense everywhere! If this matter is spread, I will be invited to the bureau for tea, saying that I am spreading rumors and causing trouble! The recent deaths have had a great impact on the tourism image of the ancient city. The superior department has issued a ban on the public from talking about and spreading these things! I don't want to make more money from you. For the safety of your own lives, leave here as soon as possible! Alas--"

The guy sighed and turned around and walked into the inn.

Leizi and I looked at each other and it seemed that this matter was much more complicated than we thought.

What exactly did those people encounter and would be scared to death?

Are the causes of death of those victims who died suddenly really related to the destruction of the dragon vein?

What happened to that ancient Dragon Lock Well?
