Chapter 4: Golden Wheel Garden

  This evening seemed to be dragging on, Qin Feng and Fang Yu waited for a long time before finally receiving Lin Ruochen's phone call. But it was this very phone call that turned their hopes into disappointment.

  Lin Ruochen said on the phone that she had to work overtime suddenly at night, so she didn't go to dinner. This news caused Qin Feng and Fang Yu to be disappointed. Out of helplessness, the two people came to the street and casually found a ramen restaurant to fill their stomachs.

  Because it was Saturday, the weekend holiday, Qin Feng and Fang Yu, who lived on campus, had nothing to do. The two of them wandered around aimlessly. At this time, the warm weather not only made Qin Feng feel comfortable but also made the night scene in the city more attractive.

  People on the street were coming and going, very lively, but Qin Feng looked like he had a lot on his mind, pushing Fang Yu aside, thinking about what happened this afternoon.

  "What's on your mind, Qin Feng?"

  "Oh, nothing. I encountered a strange thing at the funeral home this afternoon." Qin Feng thought for a moment and didn't think it through, so he simply told Fang Yu about it. As an archaeology student, Fang Yu was also quite interested in some supernatural and strange things. If it weren't for Lin Ruochen's introduction, Fang Yu wouldn't have known Qin Feng, who knew a lot about mystical knowledge. And even more unlikely to witness many bizarre phenomena from Qin Feng himself.

  "What's going on? Tell me, what's going on?" In a moment of excitement, the local dialect suddenly revealed its Tianjin accent.

  Looking at Fang Yu's excited expression, Qin Feng told him everything from start to finish...

  "What? Corpse manipulation?" Fang Yu's voice was full of surprise, his understanding of this aspect only stayed in horror movies, and in reality, he had only heard Qin Feng mention it casually, but he himself had never really seen it.

  "Please, it's a car accident, not a fake death. If it were a fake death, that would be better."

  "Does it make a difference?" "Of course. Rigor mortis is because after a person dies, there is still a breath left, so it's a phenomenon of corpse activity that can be explained by science. But possession is different, that's the real deal - ghost possession!"

  In fact, the collision guest is medically called "hysteria" because it cannot be treated, so it can only be attributed to "virtual syndrome" and adopt psychotherapy (in fact, it doesn't work). In folk, the explanation for the collision guest is nothing more than three kinds. The first kind is that they have encountered ghosts or evil things, such as some unclean objects (like mirrors that have been placed in a dark place for a long time, as well as some ancestral tablets and urns). The second kind is that the soul of the deceased has possessed the body (this is relatively common), also known as "ghost possession". The third kind is that they have offended various gods (this type is relatively rare, such as mountain gods, land gods, and some animals that have become spirits through cultivation). Based on these three types, the second one is the easiest to occur, so Qin Feng calls it "ghost possession".

  This phenomenon is more common in rural areas, because the electromagnetic field in rural areas is much smaller than that in cities, so ghosts existing in the form of magnetic fields are relatively more. However, "zhòng kè" (a kind of supernatural encounter) does not happen to everyone, generally speaking, people with weak bodies are prone to encounters, young children are also prone to encounters, and most encounters occur at night, followed by early morning, because during this time period the yang energy is insufficient, while the yin energy is flourishing.

  As soon as Fang Yu heard Qin Feng's explanation, he felt itchy in his heart and wanted Qin Feng to take him there immediately. To say that the people of the Archaeology Department are bold, as soon as they hear strange and unusual things, they want to dig deep and figure them out. In the past, the professor of the Archaeology Department had even taken Fang Yu and others to a tomb and a morgue, just to teach the students of the Archaeology Department to be brave.

  "Hurry up and take me there!" Fang Yu repeatedly asked Qin Feng to take her to the funeral home.

  Qin Feng didn't want to see that kind of thing happen again, so he refused Fang Yu's request and explained: "No way! The body has already been put in the coffin, aren't you afraid of being bitten to death by a zombie for disturbing it like this?"

  "No way! Really?"

  "How can it not be? Never mind, it's better not to see each other, lest we invite trouble." Qin Feng said worriedly.

  "What trouble can you cause? Can't a ghost come back to haunt you?" In this regard, Fang Yu has always been fearless.

  "Never mind, let's just go back. The coffin will be buried tomorrow and I hope nothing happens." Qin Feng didn't explain any further, just uttered a sentence and left, returning to school.

  The next afternoon at three o'clock, Qin Feng was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by a phone call.

  "Grandfather, what's wrong?" Qin Feng asked weakly in a soft voice.

  It was Grandpa who called.

  "Xiao Feng, go and help me with something now!" Grandfather instructed in a serious tone, as if he had encountered some matter.

  "What's up?" Qin Feng didn't know what was going on, but he felt puzzled. Why did he have to do it? The funeral home was quite far from school. "Little Feng, go to Jinlun Flower Garden 3rd building 4th unit 303 now. That family asked me to take a look at their feng shui, but I'm busy with a cremation here and can't leave. You go help me out." Before Qin Feng could respond, Grandfather added, "Little Feng, be careful when you go, because that family is the relative of yesterday's deceased."

  "Liu Lao Han's family?" Qin Feng, who was originally drowsy, suddenly stared blankly at the bed, his eyes wide with confusion. "Something happened to their family?" Qin Feng guessed that something must have happened in their household.

  "I'm not very clear about this either. This afternoon, at a little past one o'clock, they took the coffin away according to the time I chose and buried it in the cemetery north of Liujiacun. However, since I didn't go, I don't know the specific details. Before they left, I left my phone number with them and told them to call me if anything happened. Unexpectedly, just now a call came in, telling me that their family is haunted by ghosts, saying that someone in their family has appeared again with the same symptoms as the deceased before he died, guessing that someone else has been possessed."

  "Understood! I'll go now!" It seems that Qin Feng had expected something that shouldn't have happened to happen after all.

  Grandpa said a few words and hung up the phone, Qin Feng hurriedly put on his clothes, brought his stuff, called Fang Yu, and asked him to go to Jinlun Garden with himself.

  On the taxi, Qin Feng told Fang Yu about this matter. Needless to say, Fang Yu was both shocked and excited, secretly rejoicing that he could finally see what it's like to be possessed by a ghost with his own eyes.
