The Bride of the Mountain God Performs an Autopsy

None of the ghosts in the mountains are real. Ye Xiaotang has been a forensic doctor for ten years and has seen more than 300 corpses. Knife wounds, poisoning, suffocation, drowning - she recognized every cause of death better than her own palm prints. She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Then she died in a car that rolled over a cliff. When she opened her eyes, she became a mountain guard girl on Baixian Mountain who had been dead for three years. The name of the former guardian of the mountain is engraved deep in the stone hall. She was just forty years old at the time of her "sacrifice". The meaning of sacrifice is: walk into the depths of the Ghost Crying Cave and wait for death. The rules in the mountain say that this is the will of the mountain god. In three hundred and forty years, no mountain guard girl has lived past forty. Ye Xiaotang didn't believe it. When she was involved in the first case, the village at the foot of the mountain was being haunted by a ghost - a girl was carried away by a ghost, the door of the woodshed was open, and the person was missing. The villagers said that the mountain god loved her and would not let her marry a dead man. Ye Xiaotang squatted on the mud floor of the woodshed, smelled datura in the vomit, and found three pairs of footprints in the mud beside the wall. One pair belongs to a girl. Two pairs belong to men. People are not carried away by ghosts. It's people. From then on, she began to "ask the bones". I went down the mountain alone late at night, carrying a lantern and walking into Yi Zhuang. Dead men's bones could talk - and she understood them. The corpse of a woman floating in the stream upstream holds the slag of a copper mine in her hands; the cries heard every night in the Widow's Grove were learned by people hiding behind cypress trees; the faceless stone statues in the stone temple have bleeding eyes - it's the blood of chickens. Ghost marriage is human trafficking. The water ghost's request for life is to silence him. The bleeding stone statue is a frame-up. The mountain god was angry because he wanted to replace her, the disobedient mountain guard girl, with a more obedient one.
