"No one has died since Long Lake was built. What about before it was built? Could it be that someone had died here?"
The female Taoist priest looked at me in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart. Yes, I was confused a few years ago and thought that someone must have died in this lake. But then I thought about it clearly. Maybe Ah Shui did not die in the artificial lake.
After you get better, die before you build the lake."
"I also did some research on this."
"Did you find anything?" I asked.
“I found out that this place was a large wasteland before the artificial lake was built. Later it was planned to be an artificial lake construction area, so I started to call in a construction team and brought in dozens of excavators to dig earth and build a lake here.
"
"The deepest part of the lake is more than ten meters, which means that when they dug the pit, they dug to a depth of more than ten meters, and then they dug a coffin."
"Coffin?" Xia Qingqing and I were surprised at the same time.
"Yes, it is a transparent coffin. The coffin is very strange. I wonder what material it is made of? In short, it is transparent, and there is no gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body, as if they are connected together."
"The coffin is narrow in front and wide in back. It is about three meters long and two meters high. There is water in the coffin, and there are fish swimming in the water. You can clearly see a corpse wrapped in burlap inside."
"But because the body was wrapped tightly, you can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"Then...then what does this have to do with Ah Shui?"
The female Taoist priest did not answer my question, but continued: "Someone suggested burning the coffin, so they set a fire. However, the fire burned for three days and three nights, but the coffin was not damaged."
"They were all scared and reported it to the boss. The boss also thought this was something evil. They were initially planning to find another place to move the coffin and bury it, but suddenly a crazy old man came and said crazy things.
, that coffin cannot be used, it contains the Water Goddess. Once the coffin is moved, without the Water Goddess’ suppression, the groundwater will spurt out, causing a flood that will submerge the entire city.”
"Although this lunatic's words cannot be taken seriously, the leader in charge of the construction of the artificial lake decided not to move after much deliberation. Instead, he asked the workers to bury the coffin ten meters below."
"But I didn't expect that as soon as they buried the coffin, in the blink of an eye, the coffin came out on its own."
"Many people witnessed that weird scene. The crazy old man laughed and said that they had offended the Water Goddess and would be punished."
"Next, it turned out that five workers died in three days. They all died suddenly and tragically."
"The leader felt that the lunatic was not simple and might be some kind of strange person, so he sincerely asked the lunatic how to solve it. The lunatic just laughed and said that he must find a woman with a Binghuo life and offer it to the Water Goddess before he can solve it."
"After saying that, he laughed and left. The leader asked someone to check. Binghuo Ming refers to people born on Bingzi, Bingyin, Bingchen, Bingwu, Bingshen, Geng, Bingxu. The fate of such people
The pattern is very special, probably because fire and water are in conflict with each other, so neutralizing them can resolve the matter."
"What happened later? Then they found Ah Shui?" I seem to have guessed what happened next?
But the female Taoist priest shook her head.
"I don't know, because this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with that Ah Shui, and no one knows whether the leader later found a person with Binghuo fate to resolve the matter, because the incident happened soon
It was blocked.”
"Soon, the artificial lake was built and turned into the current Longhu Lake. Then, after more than a year of planning and construction, the entire Longhu Park was completed."
"The first few years were uneventful, until six years later, people began to drown frequently in Longhu. Patrol investigations revealed that these drowned people had obtained a photo in various ways before they died, and some had picked it up.
Some of them were seen from others, and some were downloaded and printed from the Internet."
"There is a very beautiful girl in the photo, Ah Shui."
I took out the ghost photo from my body again and stared at the girl named Ah Shui on it.
"Then the rumors about photo ghosts started. Later, things became more and more serious. The government found us in Longhu Mountain, and the master sent me to solve the problem."
Xia Qingqing and I looked at each other.
Xia Qingqing said: "Taoist nun, you have been talking for a long time and you still haven't made it clear. How did Ah Shui die? What does it have to do with the transparent coffin that was dug out back then?"
The female Taoist priest sighed: "It's not that I didn't make it clear, it's that this matter wasn't investigated clearly in the first place."
"Then how do you know that this girl's name is Ah Shui? And how do you know that she is related to the incident of digging up the coffin?"
"I once found a worker from the construction team that was digging soil to build the lake. At first he refused to tell me whether he was alive or dead. Later, under my coercion and inducement, he finally revealed the truth."
"It is said that the leader did follow the crazy old man's method and found a girl with Binghuo. That girl was Ah Shui. That night, the leader and two confidants took Ah Shui to the construction site and came to the transparent
In front of the coffin, Ah Shui disappeared the next day, and the transparent coffin was successfully buried underground. The project continued, and the artificial lake was built soon."
"So they really sacrificed Ah Shui to the Water Goddess, so they settled the matter? As for how they sacrificed it? I'm afraid only the leader and his two confidants know, but I guess Ah Shui
He should be dead."
"No, if she died, she couldn't have turned into a ghost corpse. It was probably something happened during the sacrifice, or some other reason that caused Ah Shui to turn into a ghost corpse."
"Since we know that the girl's name is Ah Shui, why not just follow this clue and check it out? Even though the girl is gone, she still has family, relatives and friends, right?"
"It's useless, they don't even know what happened."
Then the female Taoist priest added: "I know only so much. Because my personal ability is limited, I can only find out so much. As for the real truth, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth in a short time."
"Isn't it just that Ah Shui was sacrificed to the Water Goddess? Hey, let me tell you, what is in the transparent coffin is really the Water Goddess?"
"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
I said: "Whatever it is, let's catch that ghost corpse and ask her if she can."
The female Taoist priest said: "Then you should try to catch one for me. If I can catch her, why should I bother here? A few years ago, they only thought that I opened the altar alone and did the practice for three days.
Three nights, in fact, I fought with the ghost corpse for three days and three nights. The battle was so dark and dark that I almost lost it. In the end, I almost tried my best to suppress her temporarily. The ghost corpse's
Her strength should not be underestimated, and after several years, her strength has greatly increased, making it even more impossible to catch her."
Only then did I realize that this female Taoist priest was not unsure, but she was not sure at all.
"This... is indeed a bit difficult to handle."
At this moment, Xia Qingqing suddenly stood up from the grass, raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the young man and said, "Look, a ghost corpse has appeared?"
