"What?!"
Ninth Uncle stood up, his face full of shock.
Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes.
Why was this place different from the original novel? The original story only talked about the day of the ghost show. Because of Wen Cai's trouble, hundreds of ghosts were released. However, it did not mention that the entire troupe was hanged.
"Hehe, interesting. You can always give me some surprises.”Ji Xiu rubbed his chin and smiled.
"Ji Xiu, I'm going over to take a look. Are you coming?”Ninth Uncle said.
He felt that something was wrong.
It was very common for people to hang themselves, but it was definitely not an ordinary case for more than 30 people to hang themselves together.
Moreover, these people from the opera troupe had already taken on jobs and were about to start filming. They definitely would not commit suicide collectively at this time.
"Let's go and take a look together." Ji Xiu stood up and said.
They left the courtyard together and headed towards the stage that the troupe had built.
The stage was built outside the town.
There were many ways to go about singing an opera.
For example, there were a lot of details to be paid to building a stage. Firstly, it could not be built in a place with many people and buildings. It was said to avoid disturbing the people, but in fact, it implied the knowledge of Feng Shui.
Secondly, the stage could not be built from the east to the west. It could only be built from the north to the south. The stage built from the east to the west was the main evil.
It was also called the White Tiger position.
The stage that was built in this way had many problems. There was no exception. There would always be something that went wrong.
Thirdly, the position of the stage above the ground was also very particular. It was not desirable to be higher or lower.
Uncle Nine explained the rules to Ji Xiu as he hurried along. Uncle Nine suspected that the troupe had violated some kind of taboo that had led to their deaths.
"The rules of a troupe that dares to take on shady jobs are usually very strict, and they must all be professionals. I don't think it's possible for Fan Tabu to do it.”Ji Xiu said.
"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's see.”Ninth Uncle nodded.
Not long after, they arrived at the opera troupe.
There were some commoners gathered around this place, but they only watched from afar and did not dare to approach.
"Are they all dead?"
"Aren't they all dead? In the afternoon, they were still setting up the stage. However, at night, the entire stage was quiet. Some busybodies went in to take a look and found more than 30 people hanging in the stage. The scene was terrifying. Everyone stared at the door with their eyes wide open. Their tongues were stuck out so long that they reached their chests.”
"Do you think it's haunted? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem right.”
"We can't rule out the possibility of murder.”
“……”
Some busybodies were discussing.
"Ninth Uncle and Mister Ji are here."
At this moment, someone shouted, and the commoners immediately made way.
Ninth Uncle was highly respected in Ren Town.
As for Ji Xiu, his reputation had risen recently and he had gained some prestige.
At this moment, when they saw the two of them arrive, these people felt as if they had eaten a calming pill in their hearts.
"Those who have no business here can leave." Ninth Uncle instructed as soon as he arrived. Then, he looked around.
Ji Xiu knew that Ninth Uncle was observing the layout of the stage.
A moment later, Ninth Uncle shook his head at Ji Xiu.""There's no problem with the layout, at least from the outside, but we don't know what's going on inside.”
"Yes."
Ji Xiu nodded and walked into the set with Ninth Uncle.
As soon as she entered the set, a cool feeling assaulted her.
Immediately after, thirty-three corpses were seen hanging on the stage. They were all actors from the troupe. Moreover, each of them was dressed up. They were wearing costumes and makeup. One by one, they turned into cold corpses.
Because they were hanged, their eyeballs were all bulging out, and their tongues were sticking out. They were even more terrifying than zombies.
"Something's not right. The Yin Qi in this studio is dense. There must have been a ghost who came in before, and it's a powerful one.”Ninth Uncle's expression turned ugly.
Ninth Uncle had killed countless ghosts in his life. Compared to fighting zombies, he was more skilled at dealing with ghosts. That was why he could tell at a glance that there was a ghost here, and it was a powerful ghost.
However, the ghost had most likely left, and yet, the remnant ghost qi was already so fierce.
"It seems that the collective hanging of more than thirty people in this troupe is related to this ghost. I just don't know how they provoked such a powerful ghost.”Ninth Uncle sighed.
"Just ask." Ji Xiu smiled as he walked over to an old man's corpse.""Looking at this person's attire, he should be the head of the troupe. We might be able to get some clues from him.”
As he spoke, Ji Xiu flicked his finger and a wisp of flame burned the rope.
The class leader's corpse fell directly to the ground and landed in front of Ji Xiu, face down.
Uncle Nine explained," A hanged ghost will never be able to rise again. In the netherworld, there is a rule that people who hang themselves will commit a great sin and will never be able to reincarnate. They will be sent to hell. Therefore, after the hanged person was put down, he would always have his back facing him, implying that he would never rise again.”
Ji Xiu nodded. He had heard similar stories before.
Some people who hanged themselves were lying down after being put down, but the next day, they were lying on the ground with their backs facing the sky.
Even if they were forcefully flipped over, after they were buried in the coffin, the corpse would still be carried over.
Ji Xiu didn't care about this.
Next, he formed a hand seal." In the name of the Dragon Rearing Clan, the heavens and earth ask for the Dao. Grant me the Demon Revealing Mirror. Imperial order!"”
The Demon Revealing Mirror was an eye technique that belonged to the Dragon Rearing Clan. It was above the Yin Yang Eye, Dharma Eye, and Wisdom Eye. Not only could it see the true face of the world, but it could also see part of the cause and effect.
"Look into my eyes!"
Ji Xiu said in a deep voice.
Kacha!
Then, a shocking scene happened.
The corpse of the troupe leader was originally lying on the ground, but at this moment, its head turned 180 degrees, and a pair of protruding dead fish eyes met Ji Xiu's eyes.
Under the Demon Revealing Mirror, Ji Xiu was observing the karma on the other party.
Although he had already become a corpse, there should still be some karma clues left on his body. These Demon Revealing Mirrors could reflect it.
Soon, some incomplete images appeared in Ji Xiu's mind and he saw them...
An ancient river…
The river was yellow, like…the Yellow River.
A blood coffin…
Corpses littered the ground…
And…
A terrifying female corpse in red…
