8. Wraith haunted
Yan Xing tried to find something around the pile of bones that could prove the identity of the deceased. I saw that there was a stone half the size of a human head next to the bones. I didn't know what it was for. Yan Xing looked left and right and looked around, but couldn't find any valuable clues.
A person will start to harden between 30 minutes and 2 hours after death, and will also become cold all over due to cold corpses. The corpse zombies will extend little by little from the face, and the whole body will be clearly stiff when about 9 to 12 hours.
The blood in the human body will be deposited in the lower part of the body in the direction of gravity due to the circulatory stop, resulting in corpse spots. If the newly generated corpse spots are pressed by acupressure, their position will change, but if the corpse spots have been pressed for more than 12 hours after death, the corpse spots will not change their position. Because at this time the blood has completely solidified.
The corpse will begin to soften 30 hours after death, and the abdomen, as the part with the most fat in the whole body, will soften and decay first.
The rotten bacteria in the stomach and intestines will produce a lot of gases. The hemoglobin in the blood will begin to form sulfides. You can see the corpse expanding significantly, and the body's skin will begin to appear orange or yellow. These rotten gases will begin to attract flies to lay eggs and maggots or other organisms that eat rotten.
Maggots usually enter the body to eat from their heads, eyes, nostrils, and mouth. About 5-6 days after death, the corpse will accumulate metabolites inside after being eaten by maggots, and corpse bubbles gradually begin to appear on the surface of the skin, and some directly seep out black corpse water.
At this time, the skin and muscles separate. If the force is stronger, the entire skin can be removed, and the hair will also fall off. The corpse after one week of death will enter the final biological removal stage. The length of this stage will change according to the climate, humidity, and the degree of maggot erosion in the place where the corpse is located.
Generally speaking, the high temperature and humidity in summer will accelerate the corruption of the corpse, and only one white bone will be left in about one month; while in spring and autumn, it will take about one and a half months to turn into bones; it takes longer in winter, and at least two months to turn into bones.
Just as Yan Xing and I were thinking about the identity of this bone, some dark brown dust-like things on the stone caught my attention. It seemed like a piece of blood had solidified for a long time. "Lao Yan, do you think this corpse was smashed to death and threw it into this well?" I asked Yan Xing.
"It's possible that I saw that there was a depression on the skull. It must have been hit by a blunt weapon. However, because there was only one white bone, I couldn't see anything." "There seemed to be dry blood on this stone. Someone should have killed it with this stone and threw it down. But why is the bone wrong? It seems that there is a child's skull inside." I said to a small skull.
Yan Xing looked at it and his face changed drastically, and he sighed, "I'm afraid a pregnant woman was killed by someone. I guess the child has taken shape and died in this dry well again. I guess he has a lot of resentment." As if he had heard what Yan Xing said, the finger bones of the white bones actually moved, and the air underground seemed to have solidified.
"No, something is going to happen to this bone!" I quickly pinched a righteous decisive decision in my hand, preparing to hit Baigu's body as soon as possible if there was a little accident. Just as we both looked at Baigu nervously, a mouse covered in black hair quickly emerged from under the finger bones, and disappeared after rubbing. "I said Sanqing, you are so brave. A mouse scared you like this." Yan Xing smiled and mocked me.
I ignored him because I only saw a layer of resentment floating on the bones, and this layer of resentment was not yet when we first saw it. "Stop laughing, I said that this thing is weird, so it's better to be careful."
"What are you afraid of? A bunch of bones can make a fortune. Let's see how to get up first." Yan Xing didn't care about my words, but instead began to study how to climb up from here. After all, if we can't get up, we will both be trapped here, either starving to death or freezing to death.
I ignored Yan Xing and stared at the bones on the ground, afraid that it would cause any abnormal movement. Yan Xing found that there were some reliefs engraved on the well wall, as if a dragon soared upward from the bottom of the well. He tried it and found that he could climb up along the dragon's tail.
"Old Yan, be careful. I always feel that something big is going to happen!" I shouted to Yan Xing, "Hehe, what are you afraid of? When I climb up later, I will find a way to pull you up!" Yan Xing said carelessly, without any concern. In his opinion, the bones on the ground were just a pile of dead objects, and there was no threat at all.
Suddenly, I saw the resentment from the bones gathered together and rushed towards Yan Xing. I raised my right hand and the righteousness in my hand suddenly hit the resentment. At the same time, I grabbed another handful of pine needles with my left hand and sprinkled it over. As soon as the pine needles touched the resentment, they turned into a stream of white smoke.
However, because the resentment is too strong, the righteousness cannot completely dispel the resentment. Yan Xing was crawling up hard at this time, not knowing that the danger was approaching him. Seeing that neither the righteousness nor the pine needle could stop the resentment, I jumped and stopped the resentment before the resentment approached Yan Xing. The resentment poured into my body, and I suddenly felt my scalp numb.
I fell to the ground in pain, "Die with me! Die with me!" A shrill woman's voice rang in my mind, and I felt that my head was about to explode. It was difficult to deal with this resentment when it entered my body. I quickly activate my righteousness in my body to compete with this resentment.
"You might as well tell me your grievances. There are heads and debts. You are not the one who harmed me. Why do you want to harm me?" A righteous spirit suddenly wandered in my body. "Who are you? You can actually fight against me." A shrill voice reminded me again, "The Immortal Du is also someone who can help you. You were smashed to death with a child and threw you into the well. You were wronged and turned into this evil ghost. I wonder if it is related to you if all the people in the entire village died tragically?" I asked the resentful spirit.
Legend has it that in ancient times there was a profession called Du Xianren, who could use special means to deal with corpses to make the dead ascend to immortals, and my ancestor was Du Xianren.
