It was thanks to the old worker Zhou Mao that he had the courage to lead them. When they were almost there, Zhou Mao introduced tremblingly.
The place where Luo Xiaojun died, that was, in front, was a coal dropping point. The coal was transported from the slide to the coal dropping point and tilted down from a bucket. A coal dropping point could store hundreds of tons of coal.
Shi Changxuan glanced at the coal transporter and asked, “Did he fall to death?”
That’s what Mr. Liu said before, but Zhou Mao felt a little chilled after hearing this and said, “He fell there. Originally, he fell down where there was a retaining wall at the mouth of the bucket, but somehow he managed to climb over! All the coal behind it fell on him, and he was dead when he dug it out. I think he was buried to death!”
One could not breathe under hundreds of tons of coal. The huge amount of tons of coal fell first, and then so much coal kept falling down, pressing heavily on the body, layer upon layer.
No one spoke for a while, and Mr. Liu’s breathing became heavier.
It seemed that everyone couldn’t help but imagine what kind of despair it was.
After a while, Shi Changxuan’s voice sounded, “Let’s go forward.”
Pat, pat.
The sudden sound in the empty passage made everyone jump and look sideways.
The sound came from the front, with a long echo. Was someone walking this way? Overshoes stepped on the ground, heavy, snap, snap…
But this was a straight passage. When they used a miner’s lamp to look at it, there was nothing. Different from the winding alleyway just now, you could see the bottom at a glance. Even at the black hole, the mouth that once swallowed people’s lives, couldn’t let them see the source of the sound.
The expressions of Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu suddenly changed, their eyes widened, their pupils shrank, and the corners of their mouths tightened.
It was not a reflection this time, right?
“Holy shit!” The two yelled at the same time and ran out.
“Huh??” They ran so fast that Xie Lingya didn’t even react, “Don’t run!”
Why are you running? Stay and watch me show off my moves before leaving!
Both of them had talismans drawn by Xie Lingya. He felt that they could stay and witness his operations. He already had several talismans in his hands.
At this time, Shi Changxuan stopped Xie Lingya again. He held Xie Lingya’s wrist and whispered softly: “Don’t move.” His fingers dipped in some liquid and slid over it. When Xie Lingya opened his eyes and looked again, there was a “person” in the place where the miner’s lamp shone.
Looking at it from a distance, half of “his” body was inside the mouth of the bucket. His upper body was clinging to the wall of the bucket, and his feet wearing galoshes were pulling upwards, trying to climb up…
That’s exactly what happened. The movement made a clicking sound similar to footsteps.
Xie Lingya subconsciously took a step back, but quickly looked at the ghost and said, “Huh”, “That’s really not right.”
….
Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu regretted it after they ran away for a distance, but it was too scary for a moment, so they subconsciously ran away.
“Let’s go back to find the master.” Mr. Liu said tremblingly.
Zhou Mao was a little scared, “Shout first…”
“How about we find a few people?”
Before they could finish their discussion, they saw two beams of light shining on Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan, very calmly, which made Zhou Mao and Mr. Liu even more frightened.
“Teacher Xie, Taoist Master Shi, are you okay?” Mr. Liu sweated, “We were just about to go back to find you…”
“Luo Xiaojun, were his galoshes green?” Xie Lingya asked.
They were really green, Zhou Mao noticed when he saw the body that day, so he suddenly broke into a cold sweat, “Have you seen him?”
“If it’s really him, that’s wrong.” Xie Lingya looked at Mr. Liu and said, “Daozhang Shi checked it, there is nothing wrong with the building and the Feng Shui here, including Luo Xiaojun’s birth date. I just saw Luo Xiaojun. His soul is very weak, and his mind is still stuck at the moment of his death. He can’t live without this place, and it can’t be harmful to life or cause others to get sick.”
Zhou Mao was already a bit superstitious due to the working environment. When he heard Xie Lingya accurately describe Luo Xiaojun’s characteristics and said that he had seen him, his legs were getting weak, “Can we go up and talk about it?”
Mr. Liu, however, looked confused and shocked, “No, it’s impossible! Then we…”
Zhou Mao was also reminded, “Yeah, what’s going on with Mine Manager Bai?”
Xie Lingya: “Manager Bai?”
Mr. Liu suddenly said a little embarrassed, “Uh…”
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan had a tacit understanding before and felt that Yishui Mining had something to hide, but at the time they thought it was some internal dispute and they didn’t care about personnel anyway.
After arriving, Xie Lingya heard Zhou Mao talking about what happened in the mine and felt that something was wrong.
According to them, Luo Xiaojun’s ghost could be traced to the office as he made people seriously ill. Why was he so easy to talk to in the mine? Why would the harasser stop making trouble after just a few words, and no one had any trouble anymore?
After seeing Luo Xiaojun, Xie Lingya was sure that Luo Xiaojun was not a bad ghost. He even wondered whether the previous events were the same as the reflected light that Zhou Mao saw. Most of them were natural phenomena. The workers themselves made too many assumptions and attributed them to Luo Xiaojun.
After leaving the mine, Mr. Liu made a phone call and said, “You two, there is something fishy about this matter!”
Xie Lingya: “Waiting for your explanation.”
“…” Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed and started from vague details before coming to the beginning.
In fact, his position was that of the secretary to the director of the Liuhe Mine. The director Bai of the mine was an atheist and firmly did not believe in feudal superstition. After taking office at Liuhe Mine, he approved the construction of a new building with a stroke of his pen.
At that time, someone advised him to ask someone to take a look at Feng Shui, but he didn’t take it seriously. At that time, the news spread throughout the mine, and everyone didn’t take it seriously. But later Luo Xiaojun had an accident, and some people said it was because of Feng Shui issues.
Director Bai didn’t believe in evil. Even though he was under a lot of pressure because of this incident, he still didn’t believe it.
Mine manager Bai personally went down to the mine to investigate the problem, and finally concluded that it was an accident. The underground was wet and his feet were slippery. Although Luo Xiaojun did not violate any regulations, this kind of work was very dangerous and it was difficult to prevent all accidents.
Therefore, Director Bai asked everyone to strengthen safety measures and strive to reduce accidents to a minimum.
Next, some supernatural events occurred in the mine. Mine manager Bai also scorned them and thought they were psychological effects. Everyone was scaring themselves, which could be explained from a scientific perspective.
Of course, at this time, the news about him destroying the feng shui of Liuhe Mine spread throughout the mine. Everyone was talking about it, and most of them thought it was mysterious.
With this incident, Director Bai was also in a bad mood, but he still insisted on upholding his three views. Until one day when there was a power outage in the office building while he was working overtime, but he still worked very diligently with candles lit. It was then that he saw the ghost of Luo Xiaojun, saying that he was miserable and asking him to hire someone to do the ritual of three days.
Manager Bai was ill for a long time. There was no airtight wall in the world, and the news spread.
Director Bai didn’t dare to not believe it this time, but he was a little stubborn. He refused to find the ghost exorcist contracted to the mine. Instead, he heard a relative of his mention that he would attend the Dharma assembly at Baoyang Temple. He believed in his relative, so he asked him to go and invite the Taoist priest from Baoyang Temple.
Although there were a lot of rumors within Liuhe Mine, Secretary Liu still concealed some details when inviting Taoist priests, especially the part about Mine Director Bai.
At this point, Xie Lingya understood why Liuhe Mine, which was quite sophisticated, would build a new building without finding a Feng Shui master. And he could somewhat understand what Director Bai was thinking, but in this case, how could Director Bai see Luo Xiaojun? Did the source of this matter actually lie with Mr. Bai?
“Can we meet Director Bai?” Xie Lingya asked.
“Okay, okay. Just now Director Bai also said he wanted to meet you two.” Secretary Liu said hurriedly.
