"The world only thinks that exhuming corpses is a scam, but they don't know that it is just the most superficial cover-up."
In 2006, the last corpse exorcist in western Hunan passed away, and I took away the yellowed "Notes of the Bird's Cry" beside his bed.
There is a strange yellow talisman tucked in the book, which reads: "In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the Chen family in Taoyuan County lost one soul. It was borrowed."
I thought this was just my grandfather's industry record as "sir", until I saw a descendant of the Chen family who should have died long ago appearing downstairs in my house late at night, his face pale and his movements stiff, as if he had just crawled out of the grave.
In order to find out the truth, I was forced to step into that world shrouded in fog.
From the "Flower Cave Girl" in the mountains of western Hunan to the "iron coffin for water control" under the Qiansi family in Chongqing; from the secrets of the "monk Taoist escort" of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty who lived in the southwest, to the night walk of hundreds of ghosts behind the "Chongqing Bombing" during the Anti-Japanese War.
This is a Taoist duel that spans a hundred years, and it is also a historical truth that has been deliberately buried.
The place names, customs, and some historical events mentioned in the book are all well-documented. Do not explore alone at night.
Very interesting
