Such a town named after mythology can never be found in reality.
Because the meaning behind these two words is not only unlucky, but also closely related to the deceased.
Follow the archway and look into the town along the road.
The whole town seemed to have fallen into a deathly tranquility. The buildings on the roadside were very old and closed, as if no one had lived there for a long time and had been abandoned.
However, Li Leping was not afraid of this. He walked directly along the road and walked into this weird town, wanting to find out.
Go into town.
Everything is very quiet, there is no movement in the streets, except for the bluestone road covered with weeds, everything looks empty, like a dead city without any human habitation.
But after walking for a while.
When they came to an intersection, Li Leping suddenly stopped and stared at the end of the corner of the intersection.
"That is……"
The other Li Leping, Gu Li and Zhou Yue who were brought over also stopped at this moment, their eyes serious.
When they came to the corner of this intersection, they saw a bluestone road extending in other directions.
Different from the roads in other places, this bluestone road is now covered with a layer of red cloth for some unknown reason. This red cloth is very long, just like the red carpet laid when getting married. It is spread from the feet of everyone to the end of the road, covering the entire
The pavement of the stone road looks a bit festive.
But when everyone looked towards the end of the road and saw the building at the end, they instantly felt a little creepy.
Because the end of this road is neither a wedding hall nor a house, but a mourning hall with white cloth draped under the walls and entrance eaves.
The door of the mourning hall is open, and people can see the coffin placed in the middle of the hall at a glance.
But after looking at it for a while, an inexplicable chill poured into everyone's hearts.
Because there was not just one coffin placed in the mourning hall, but two red-lacquered coffins.
This number of coffins is a bit too unusual.
Logically speaking, unless there is a sudden accident in someone's home and two people die at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to have two coffins placed in a mourning hall at the same time.
And as if to deliberately show that the deceased in the two coffins were closely related, the two red lacquer coffins were actually connected by a red rope extending from the coffins.
"Go and have a look."
Without consulting the others, Li Leping took the lead and walked over immediately after finishing speaking.
When he entered the mourning hall, he did not touch the two coffins immediately. Instead, he walked around the mourning hall and observed other arrangements in the mourning hall.
In the mourning hall, in addition to the two coffins containing unknown persons, he also saw a wooden table placed in front of the coffins.
This should be the offering table in the mourning hall, but there are no offerings on the table at the moment. There is an incense burner, and there is no trace of incense ash inside, as if it has not been used. Only some kind of soft soil can be seen inside the incense burner.
, the soil has a bit of a fishy smell, like grave soil dug from near a cemetery.
And there was an incense stick stuck in the middle of the soft grave soil.
This incense is not the kind of ghost incense you see in ghost temples, but a thin incense that doesn't seem to last long, and I don't know what its specific function is.
Li Leping looked away from the incense burner and turned to the portrait hanging on the wall.
The black and white portrait belongs to a young woman. The woman is smiling, wearing a familiar coat and skirt from the Republic of China, and holding a book in her hand.
"Chen Mengyao."
Looking at the beautiful woman whose appearance was unfamiliar but could be clearly remembered in the portrait, Li Leping immediately realized the woman's identity even though it was the first time he saw her.
"So this place is dedicated to Chen Mengyao?"
Li Leping walked up. He also saw this photo, and he immediately had a suspicion in his mind.
"Maybe she is lying in one of the two coffins now." Another Li Leping said at this moment.
Regarding the other two guesses of his own, Li Leping did not answer, but walked silently between the two coffins and checked the conditions of the two coffins in detail.
As soon as you get closer, you can clearly see that the coffin on the left has been tightly covered with coffin boards, and it is so tight that no gaps can be seen.
In contrast, the coffin on the right is a little different. The coffin boards are not closed, but are slightly tilted to the side, as if to deliberately indicate that the body has not yet been placed in the coffin.
Through the hole exposed due to the tilt of the coffin board, Li Leping looked inside the coffin.
However, even though his current eyes are enough to see into the past, under his current observation, the coffin is still empty, as if there is really nothing.
Looking away, Li Leping looked again at the red line connecting the two coffins.
He didn't touch it, because somehow, he vaguely felt some ominous aura on this thread, as if as long as he had the slightest contact with this red thread, something irreversible would happen.
"Red thread, red cloth..."
Li Leping looked at the red carpet laid on the road outside the door, thinking deeply in his heart.
"Red is often regarded as a festive color. Red threads and red carpets like this are usually used during weddings, but now the place where these red items appear is a mourning hall. The mourning hall is originally a place used for funerals.
Not to mention that there is a tightly sealed coffin here now, and white silk is hung everywhere."
Next to him, Gu Li, who was following him, also noticed a lot of things that were wrong while observing along the way: "It's obvious that someone is dead, but why are such red objects used in places with dead people? Even coffins.
The red one always feels a bit evil."
Li Leping heard this and said: "You are right to think so, but don't forget that red does not only represent joy or auspiciousness, it itself can also represent a warning, indicating that there is danger here.
"
"That's true."
When Gu Li heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but glance at the coffin in the mourning hall again. Then he looked at the blurry figure who said nothing and asked, "What do you think?"
"There is too little information, and I can't analyze much useful things. However, judging from my various experiences, the red coffin is capable of confinement. Perhaps as mentioned before, this place is most likely where I will be buried.
."
Li Leping said, looking back at the portrait hanging on the wall, and then at the closed red coffin: "Chen Mengyao's portrait cannot be hung here for no reason."
"Since her portrait hangs here and there happens to be a tightly closed coffin, all signs indicate that there is a high probability that she is buried in this coffin, and the remaining supernatural puzzle pieces of the Forgotten Ghost should also be limited accordingly.
