Chapter 1517: Mourning
Everyone in the lobby dispersed and returned to their previous rooms.
Only Li Yue and Zhang Dong were left sitting on the chairs.
There was no more hurried knocking on the door outside the ancient house. It seemed that everything was much better after closing the door.
Everything seemed to be calm again.
But Li Yue knew that this was only the superficial situation, because this was the first day.
The old house will not be safe if the corresponding ritual has not been completed.
Although Li Yue knew from the beginning that today's corresponding ceremony was the enshrinement, he was not in a hurry to do it.
He also wanted to see what strange things would happen if Zhang Dong's body was not buried.
It can also be regarded as accumulating some experience for the next few days.
Just like that, time passed little by little.
Soon it was three o'clock in the morning.
Li Yue, who was sitting on a chair in the lobby, suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp light flashed from his eyes.
"Is it finally starting?"
Li Yue turned his head and glanced at the old man's body, which had not changed in any way, and then looked in the direction of the gate of the old house.
Just now, Li Yue clearly heard some movement coming from outside the ancient house.
It seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing up at night and the rustling of the woods.
And as time goes by, the wind noise coming from outside is gradually getting louder.
At the same time, there were some strange noises even in the ancient house.
It seemed to be the sound made by the wind blowing through the cracks in the building.
The sound was weird.
Listening carefully, the sound sounded like someone was crying, and it came from all directions. It was impossible to tell where the sound came from.
In this regard, Li Yue just sat quietly on the chair and watched, without taking action rashly.
soon.
The whining wind suddenly turned into a strange cry.
And what's even weirder is that there's more than one cry in the old house.
Instead, the cries of a dozen or even dozens of people were mixed together.
This made the originally dead old house become extremely strange.
At this time, the whole ancient house seemed to be crying. Not only Li Yue, but also the ghost controllers who returned to the room, Yang Jian and others also heard it.
"It's just like crying in mourning."
do not know why.
After hearing the strange crying, everyone in the old house couldn't help but think of the scene of a funeral.
On the first day after a person's death, the family members of the deceased need to mourn to express their grief.
Right now, the old man's body in the ancient house had just died, and this weird crying sound appeared on the first night. Isn't this exactly the same as mourning?
But if you listen carefully, you will find that the cry is like the whining sound of the cold wind blowing, and everything seems not so scary.
After the old house suddenly became so lively, no one in the room was still sleepy. Everyone stared outside with their eyes wide open and a bit frightened.
Although they were separated by doors and walls, they couldn't see what was going on outside.
But these strange cries made people have to be vigilant.
Everyone in the room did not dare to leave the room easily.
Because they found that the noise this time was different from the previous knocking on the door.
The sound of banging on the door came from outside the old house.
But this time the cry echoed in the old house.
Leaving the room is likely to result in a horrific attack.
And time also passed by bit by bit amidst this terrifying cry.
Soon, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the strange cries in the old house began to change again.
The location of those cries is changing
Li Yue noticed that a strange cry was originally in the front yard of the ancient house, but now the cry had moved to the patio.
There was also a sound that was originally on the roof, but now it sounded like it had fallen from the roof, coming from the back hall.
These sounds made Li Yue feel very close, very close
It's like being right next door.
In addition, Li Yue also heard crying coming from the direction of the corridor.
Although there were cries everywhere in the old house at this time, no one was attacked.
Even Li Yue, who was sitting in the lobby, had not been attacked.
It was as if these cries were really just cries.
This surprised Li Yue.
However, Li Yue also knew that the strange changes in the old house were gradual, although there have been no incidents of evil spirits attacking people yet.
But no one knows how long this situation will last.
At this moment, Li Yue suddenly slowly stood up from the chair.
He ignored the weird cries and went straight to Zhang Dong's body.
It was only when Li Yue walked next to the skinny, cold old man's body that he discovered that there were some subtle changes in the body.
At this time, the corpse was still sitting upright on the chair, eyes closed, extremely stiff, and the wrinkled skin was covered with corpse spots.
However, the number of corpse spots was more than before.
It was as if the corpse was rotting.
Seeing this scene, a strange color flashed in Li Yue's eyes.
Although corpses will form corpse spots, this process takes time.
The speed at which this corpse is forming spots is very abnormal.
"Sure enough, the source of all the changes in the old house is because of this corpse, or to be more precise, the lack of burial."
Because the burial process could not be completed, the body changed.
Supernatural phenomena began to appear in the old house.
Thinking of this, Li Yue suddenly had no intention of continuing to wait.
He plans to help Zhang Dong's body be buried now.
But just when he was about to take action, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
"Fortunately, there was no abnormality with the body."
But Yang Jian walked out of the room and came to the lobby again.
After arriving in the lobby, Yang Jian immediately looked at the old man's body on the black Taishi chair.
The incident just now made Yang Jian very uneasy.
In fact, Yang Jian also knew that with Li Yue guarding here, the possibility of problems with the old man's body was very small.
But without seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt a little unsure.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no problem with the corpse, which made Yang Jian feel less nervous.
"Why did you come out?"
Li Yue stopped and looked back at Yang Jian.
Only then did Yang Jian look at Li Yue, who was standing next to the corpse, and said:
"I just sorted everything out from beginning to end, and I have some guesses in my mind, so I came out to talk to you."
Having said this, Yang Jian paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued:
"I suspect that the things that happened in the ancient house are related and are operating according to something that has been arranged for a long time. They are not traceable.
During the seven-day stay, there was the old man's body in the lobby, the coffin in the back hall, the first seven ghosts, the weird knock on the door before, and the mournful sound that echoed in the old house just now.
This reminds me of funerals. "
Hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but admire in his heart, Yang Jian is worthy of being Yang Jian.
Although Li Yue knew before that Yang Jian would discover the connection, he didn't expect that in such a short time, Yang Jian would analyze the core thing.
At this time, Yang Jian continued to talk about his analysis:
"If these are all carried out according to the funeral procedures, then combined with the corpse and the coffin in the back hall, it can be imagined that the most important thing on the first day should be the encoffining.
That is to say, the old man's body is moved to the coffin. If nothing is done, there will be no body in the coffin and the burial will not be completed, then some strange changes will occur. "
When he finished talking, Yang Jian's eyes were fixed on the body on the seat.
