The years of reselling the haunted house

Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu each had a flashlight and found the boulder first.They couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts. They stood in front of the stone and clapped each other's hands, but they didn't dare to say anything.

They couldn't wait to shine their flashlights on the stone, and began to carefully examine the writing on it.

It's just that they didn't expect that there was another Song Ping hidden behind the praying mantis, the cicada and the oriole.

It's just that Song Ping didn't go up to disturb them, but hid in the grass behind, watching them both.

At that time, Ma Di was hiding not far behind Song Ping. He really didn't understand what these three people were doing, so he wanted to continue watching.

The two people who were reading the writing on the stone wall, Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu, discussed in a low voice while reading at the beginning.

Later, the emotions became more and more excited, and I couldn't help it when I watched it.

They forgot the environment they were in, and after seeing most of the text above, they started dancing.It was like discovering some great secret.

Song Ping, who was hiding behind them, couldn't hold back at last. After seeing their reaction, he also sneaked out of the grass and slowly approached the front of the stone wall.

Ma Di, who was behind, continued to move forward, getting closer to the three of them.

The moonlight that night was not bad, and the moonlight seemed to exist specially for this stone wall.It was pitch black all around, only the front of this stone wall was illuminated by the moon.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Ma Su suddenly found that Song Ping was holding a gleaming knife.

It is a kind of multi-functional tool that they must go to for field surveys.They can not only defend themselves, but also be used for other purposes. They are handy.

So Ma Di was not surprised to see Song Ping holding a knife.

Just when Song Ping was about to approach the stone wall, another unexpected scene happened to Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu in front.

Zhao Huanchu turned on the flashlight, pointed it at the stone wall, and suddenly began to chant aloud.

Ma Su is very knowledgeable and can understand several languages.But when Zhao Huanchu read it, he couldn't understand it at all.Neither English, nor French, nor German, nor Mandarin, Ma Di sounds like a bible.

And Zhao Huanchu obviously read it according to the words on the stone wall, his tone was up and down, it didn't seem like he made it up.He must have read the words on it.

But just after Zhao Huanchu read a few words, Fang Jiaming who was next to him suddenly rushed up and desperately covered Zhao Huanchu's mouth with his hands.

And Zhao Huanchu might have been impatient, and bit Fang Jiaming's hand.

Fang Jiaming screamed and withdrew his hand.Zhao Huanchu acted as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, he ignored Fang Jiaming and continued to read the strange words on the stone wall.He himself was completely caught in that crazy mood.

Chapter 450 Cannibalism

Fang Jiaming covered his hands, obviously he was bitten badly by Zhao Huanchu just now.

Ma Di, who was hiding behind, watched this scene all over his eyes, and Song Ping, who came out with a knife in his hand, took a full look at this scene.But when Ma Di saw this scene, he was already stunned, his eyes widened, and he almost screamed out.But Song Ping didn't seem too surprised by this scene, but he slowed down his pace, squatted down and continued to watch what happened in front of him.

Zhao Huanchu read the words on the stone as if no one was around, Fang Jiaming saw that there was no way to stop him, so he also took out a knife from his body, leaped forward, and stabbed Zhao Huanchu's waist with one knife.

This came so suddenly that Ma Su behind saw it and didn't react for a while.After he saw it clearly, he couldn't believe that what he saw just now was real.He covered his mouth with his hands, his heart beating wildly.What happened tonight was really beyond his expectations.

And Zhao Huanchu was stabbed by Fang Jiaming, and finally stopped reciting the words on the stone, and the flashlight he was holding dropped from his hand.

Zhao Huanchu turned around to look at Fang Jiaming, then looked down at the knife on his body, and leaned against the rock when his body tilted.

Fang Jiaming also seemed to have lost his mind at this time, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt or fear of being killed by himself for his colleagues and companions for many years.He kicked Zhao Huanchu's body off the stone and threw it to the ground.He picked up the flashlight, followed the writing on the stone, and began to recite recklessly.

Soon, Fang Jiaming, like Zhao Huanchu, chanted louder and louder, and he became more and more crazy.

At this time, Song Ping, who had been lurking behind for a long time, suddenly rushed towards Fang Jiaming with a knife in his hand.

Obviously, Song Ping's target is Fang Jiaming.

After watching for a while, Ma Su finally came to his senses.Just when Song Ping was about to stab Fang Jiaming with the knife, Ma Di reminded loudly from behind: "Be careful."

This sound made Song Ping, who was attacking, startled. He was already flustered, but his hands trembled from the sound, and the knife fell to the ground.

Song Ping subconsciously looked in Ma Di's direction.Ma Di noticed the fierce look in Song Ping's eyes, and knew that he had already launched a murderous plan.

Who knew that at this moment, Fang Jiaming grabbed a stone in his hand and threw it at Song Ping's head with all his might.

Ma Di let out a cry of surprise, and saw the stone slapped Song Ping's head open.

In the incident of less than a few minutes, Fang Jiaming, who usually looks gentle and elegant, actually killed two people under his hands.

Moreover, Fang Jiaming smashed Song Ping to death, copied the knife in Song Ping's hand, and walked straight towards Ma Di.

Ma Di was already stunned by what happened before him, and even forgot to run away. Watching Fang Jiaming approaching step by step, he was speechless.

Fang Jiaming walked up to Ma Di, and said coldly, "I have saved you a way out, but if you don't go, you will crash into the gate of hell."

"Jiaming, what... is it for?" Ma Su looked at Fang Jiaming, feeling as if he had completely changed.His face was full of viciousness.

"If you want to know, go down and ask them." Fang Jiaming obviously didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Ma Di, so he raised the knife and stabbed at Ma Di.

Ma Su almost forgot to dodge, and watched the knife stabbing him with a cold light.

As a result, at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the direction of the stone.

Although the cry was not very loud, it was very scary.People can't help but have fear.

With the roar, Fang Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and forgot to attack Ma Su, he turned to look at the stone.

At this time, under the reflection of the moonlight, a kind of animal slowly came out from behind the huge stone.The animal was tall, with circles of lines on its body.

At first glance, it looks like a tiger or a leopard or something.Ma Di was well-informed, and at first he thought it was a tiger. He was moved because he knew very well that it was impossible for tigers to exist in the mountainous areas of this area.Since the shadow of the stone was covering the animal, Ma Di couldn't see clearly the relationship between the angles.

Then the animal raised its head and roared again.

The screaming sounded again, and goose bumps appeared on Ma Su's body.There was no reserve of this sound in the animal calls he had mastered.In other words, he couldn't tell the difference when he heard the animal's cry.

But when Fang Jiaming saw the animal, he was pleasantly surprised. He actually walked towards the animal, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what to say.

"Don't go there, come back quickly." Ma Di shouted at Fang Jiaming.

But Fang Jiaming ignored Ma Su and still walked towards the animal.

The animal shook its body and let out a third roar at Fang Jiaming.

This time the shout had a greater impact on Ma Su, he felt his heart tremble, the deterrent power of the roar seemed to penetrate into his bone marrow and blood.Ma Di couldn't bear the impact of the roar, and lost consciousness when his eyes went dark.But before he fell into a coma, he also saw the whole picture of the animal clearly.

When Ma Di woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

It was Ma Di's companion. When he got up in the morning, he found that Ma Di and the other three members of the archaeological team had disappeared, so he followed their footprints and found them here after a lot of effort.

The companion woke up Ma Di, and Ma Su reacted, and hurriedly went to see Zhao Huanchu and Song Ping on the ground with the companion.It turned out that they had been dead for a long time.

But that Fang Jiaming and that strange animal were gone.

Ma Di came to the front of the boulder again, but unexpectedly found that all the inscriptions on it had disappeared.There is nothing on the stone, no trace of characters can be seen.

Ma Di touched the stone wall, recalling what happened last night, puzzled.

They went around the stone and examined it carefully.The ground around the stone was relatively wet, but no animal footprints were found.

What's even more strange is that Ma Di still had a fresh memory of the animal last night, but in such a blink of an eye, the animal gradually became blurred in his mind.

In the end, after Ma Di sent a message to the main camp and called the police, the image of the animal completely disappeared from his mind.All he remembered was that the animal was a bit like a tiger, that's all.

The police sent people to search nearby, but found no traces of large animals, nor did they find Fang Jiaming's whereabouts.

Zhao Huanchu and Song Ping, after the forensic medical examination, also agreed with Ma Di's description, that they died from the knife and the stone.

Chapter 451 Ghost Beast

Ma Di was the only witness at the scene of the murder, so he was taken to the public security organ for questioning and investigation.After inspection, there was no fingerprint of Ma Di on the murder weapon. After some investigation, Ma Di was ruled out as a suspect.

Ma Di didn't mind this too much, and fully cooperated. He also knew that the public security organs were following normal procedures.As for his description of the scene, there are still many places that cannot be verified.For example, the animal that even Ma Su didn't know, Fang Jiaming's motive for committing the crime, and how the handwriting on the stone disappeared for no reason.

What happened at that time, Ma Di would rather believe that there was a supernatural event.But these cannot be said to the public security organs, so Ma Di was extra careful at the time, and did not hand over the photo of the text on the stone to the public security organs.

That photo was developed by Song Ping in the town, and he gave Fang Jiaming a photo when he came back.After Song Ping was killed, Ma Di found another one on Song Ping's body.He kept this photo for himself, hoping to find out what was on it in the future.

Due to Fang Jiaming's disappearance and the police's search and arrest, they were unable to find Fang Jiaming's whereabouts.So the case has been suspended, and it has not been closed so far.

The three members of the archaeological team ended the investigation with two dead and one missing.

After Ma Di came back, the scene he saw that night kept haunting his mind, and he often had nightmares.He once asked a master of metaphysics to identify the text on that photo, and that person only said that it might be a kind of inscribed text, but he didn't recognize it either.He also asked Ma Su not to pursue the matter any further. This kind of insinuation is for the dead, and if the living read it, it will only bring about unwarranted disasters.Anyone who reads the inscription and recognizes the inscription will die.It was also because of this that the inscription on the stone disappeared after being recognized.

Ma Di followed the advice of the master of metaphysics, put this photo in a book, and put it aside.Only then did this incident gradually fade from his mind, and the nightmare that haunted him day and night was no longer there.

When Ma Di said this, I said with some emotion: "Old Ma, I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad again."

Ma Di shook his head: "It's okay. In fact, those three people and I are just friends. We have worked together a few times because of our work relationship. I'm just a little sad, because the two of them died for no reason, and the missing one is also unknown. I At that time, I also wanted to help them find out the facts, but I really had more energy than I could. When I saw the text you brought over today, I just thought it was a bit like the words on that photo, so I translated it for you to see. In fact, I don’t know Yin script either, and I don’t even know if these two scripts are the same.”

I nodded: "I'm also a layman, but I think these two kinds of characters are indeed very similar, maybe they are really inscribed characters. By the way, old horse, what about the animal that miraculously appeared and then disappeared? You don't I know, aren't you an expert in this field?"

Ma Di smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, I did see the whole picture of that animal at that time, but I must have never seen this kind of animal, let alone know it. And after I woke up, I completely forgot about that animal." It looks like an animal. It's like that kind of animal walked through my mind, but didn't leave any trace. So until now, I don't know what kind of animal it is..."

After hearing what Ma Di said, I was a little disappointed.If the text on the stone is really inscribed.Then the magically appearing animal should be related to Yinwen.If you know the origin of this animal, it may provide a very direct clue to the whole incident.

"but……"

Suddenly Ma Di said something again, as if things had turned around, I quickly asked, "But what..."

Ma Di hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Li Yang, you know me. I always pay attention to facts when I do things, and I don't count things that are conjectured out of thin air. That kind of animal..."

I immediately understood what Ma Su meant. As a professor of biology, what he said had to go through rigorous deliberation and demonstration before he could say it.Therefore, Ma Di told me more than once that as long as it is something he believes, it is basically accurate.As for the analysis and speculation of this animal, I believe that Ma Di already has a plan, but he has not yet confirmed it.

I hurriedly said: "Lao Ma, we are friends. I am not a member of a state agency, let alone your school. If you know something, just tell me a story, and I know it in my heart. You don't have to If you follow the rules, you have to wait for the conclusion of the matter."

Ma Di nodded: "Okay. I've actually thought about that animal for a long time, but I lack the necessary conditions to prove it. So it's just a prototype in my mind. Let me tell you, just as a reference for you... "

"That's right, old horse, don't talk too much, just tell me everything you know."

I waved my hand to urge the old horse.

After so many years, Ma Di should have a certain psychological endurance for the events of that year, and his emotions are still very stable after talking so much.He said lightly: "I suspect... that animal is a kind of ghost beast..."

"Ghost beast? What... what is a ghost beast?" I asked in surprise.

"The underworld beast, as the name suggests, is a kind of beast that lives in the underworld. The so-called underworld is the underworld that your third uncle and his gang often mention." Ma Di explained.

"Hell? The underworld beast is a kind of beast that lives in the underworld. Don't our animals in the underworld become animals in the underworld after death?"

Ma Di shook his head: "No, although I don't know as much as your third uncle, I do know a little bit about metaphysics and yin and yang. People become ghosts in the underworld after death, but animals don't become animals in the underworld after death. Unless there are very special circumstances, they will be arranged to be reincarnated. Therefore, not all animals can survive in the underworld after death. Only a special kind of animal will survive in the underworld, which is the ghost beast."

I waved my hand: "You almost confused me. Then where did this ghost beast come from?"

"Have you read any mythical novels? There are auspicious beasts in the Heavenly Palace, and ghost beasts in the Underworld. And this kind of ghost beast, I now suspect, is an extinct animal. It may also be a prehistoric animal."

"The ghost beast is a prehistoric animal? Extinct animals can be found in the underworld, so this is a big discovery? Old horse, are you reliable?"

Chapter 452 Prehistoric Creatures

Ma Di glared at me: "Why are you so excited? I've already said that my conjecture is just a prototype, and it hasn't gone through any conclusions. What kind of big discovery?"

I waved my hand: "Old horse, old horse, I think your conjecture is very thoughtful. I know that prehistoric animals include mammoths and archaeopteryx, so do you think you can determine which animal you saw? ?”

Ma Di slapped his thigh and said angrily, "I told you I forgot. When I woke up after coma, I didn't have any impression of the important characteristics of that animal. I only remembered that it was huge. , a bit like a large animal like a tiger or a lion, but this is just a little impression left in my mind, and I can't be sure. Otherwise, you know that I study paleontology, and I will pursue any evidence of."

I nodded, I believe what Ma Su said.If it is really a prehistoric animal discovered by Ma Di, then Ma Di, as a professional scholar, will never let it go.

However, I am also very interested in Ma Su's conjecture.Think about it, prehistoric creatures that have been extinct for tens of thousands of years have actually appeared in reality, even if it is just a kind of ghost beast, that is exciting enough.

I thought for a while and asked, "Old Ma, there are only a few kinds of prehistoric animals. You should be able to find them with the elimination method, right?"

Ma Di shook his head: "Wrong. What you said is wrong. Prehistoric creatures cover a wide range, and there are definitely many types. As far as the two animals you just mentioned, Archeopteryx and mammoth, there is a huge difference in the age of life. Mammoth It lived in the Quaternary glacial area from 200 million to 1 years ago, while Archeopteryx lived in the early Titong stage of the Jurassic, about 1 million to 5 million years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago. How many years have you calculated the difference between the two?"

I tried to do the math, but gave up right away: "Why am I doing the math? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Ma Di smiled and said: "I just want to tell you that there are so many kinds of prehistoric animals, and it is impossible to find the ghost beast I saw that day. However, I also tried to calculate, what I saw that day should be A large mammal, such as the saber-toothed cat that lived in the Miocene-Pleistocene period. It can only be said that this is the most likely."

I nodded: "Okay, old horse, I won't discuss prehistoric creatures with you here. I feel that this has nothing to do with my purpose. Originally, I came to study Yinwen, but I talked for a long time Prehistoric creatures. Since you don't want to mention this matter, you don't need to worry about it. I'll go back and discuss it with my third uncle."

"That won't work." I didn't expect that just after I finished saying this, Ma Di waved his hand with a straight eyebrow: "You boy, you are not authentic. I almost forgot about this. You came here and reminded me of this paragraph." Memories. I don’t care about the inscriptions or not. But if this prehistoric creature is really a ghost beast, it can be connected with the inscriptions. Do you think I can ignore it?”

I smiled wryly and said, "Lao Ma, I'm also doing it for your own good. You don't know what kind of danger my third uncle and I have encountered. It's not an exaggeration to say that I almost won't see you. If you get involved again , I would be a sinner."

Ma Di waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. You kid don't involve me anymore? Besides, am I, Ma Di, a person who is afraid of death? If I can find out this prehistoric creature, I will be worth it even if I die."

As Ma Di said, the originally dim eyes shone brightly, as if he was full of longing for the future.

Seeing Ma Di's resolute attitude and knowing Ma Di's temper, I smiled and said, "Then let's go? Third uncle is waiting for news from me at home."

Ma Di waved his hand, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Ma Di packed up his own things in a small bag and carried it on his back, and left the college with me in a hurry.

I smiled and said, "In such a hurry? Where are your students? You don't need to go to class?"

Ma Di waved his hand: "This semester's classes are almost done, and the rest can be left to the teaching assistant to talk about."
