Savage Secret

Chapter 57

() The most popular thing for people of the Han nationality is to bury in the ground after death. They pay attention to burial. When future generations go to pay homage, they will repair and maintain the tomb by the way, but they will never touch the bones of the deceased. According to traditional culture: digging tombs, Stunning souls is very impolite and unacceptable in traditions. Except for tomb robbers and archaeologists, almost no one would do it.

There are many ways for the ancients to dispose of the dead, and burials are not popular in all places, such as sky burial, water burial, cremation, cave burial, etc., for the dead. The different burial methods for the dead are all related to the region.For example, most of the places where water burials are popular have well-developed water systems but not much arable land. The living must rely on the food grown on the arable land to survive, and the dead must not be allowed to compete with themselves for the few sites, so they can only be buried in water; another example: a The leaders of the ancient tribes heard the story of the phoenix's nirvana, or felt that the fire and the sun have light and heat, and they may have some connection, so they tried to use the fire to go to the high temple of the sun, where there might be popular cremation.In short, there is no right or wrong in funeral customs, and acceptance is reasonable.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the Han nationality used another burial method: the second burial!The second burial has not been completely extinct so far, and has been used by some ethnic minorities.The whole process is probably that after a person dies, his relatives first find a random place to bury them. After two or three years, most people will decompose and only bones are left. People will open the tomb to dig out these bones and put them in clay pots. , for a second burial.Many ancestors in the Yangshao culture were buried in this way: a small area is lined with many pottery pots in a certain way. At first, archaeologists thought it was a lot of wine vats, all drooling. I was going to taste the taste of this fine wine that was cellared thousands of years ago. When I opened it and saw a jar of bones, my face turned green immediately, and I climbed up to vomit!

In fact, in the Han nationality, there may be a second burial due to some special circumstances: the descendants have made a fortune, and they want to re-select a place with good geomantic omen for the ancestors, firstly, to show respect for the ancestors, and secondly, to expect them to protect future generations; The country needs to requisition land to build roads and bridges, and there is someone’s ancestor’s tomb on the ground; it may also be that the site of the tomb was not well selected at the beginning, and the water leaked and flooded seriously. Relocation and so on.Anyway, as long as the funeral culture exists, the second burial will not disappear, but for the people of the Han nationality, the original intention is fundamentally different from the second burial carried out by the Yuanshi ancestors.

On the way we followed the old cow's voice, we saw broken clay pots and scattered bones. At that time, we were anxious to find the old cow, but didn't think about it seriously. Now I heard the old cow said that he also has a lot of clay pots, so I thought .If those clay pots were all re-burials, wouldn't the place where Lao Niu is now be a bigger burial pit for second burials?When I first saw that the cave where the old cow lived was close to a square shape, I still lamented the wonder of nature. It seems that such a miracle can be built in the depths of the mountain. Now it seems that it may not be formed naturally, but People do it intentionally, only in this way is it more like a coffin.

Ancient astronomers divided the common stars in the sky into 28 groups, called 28 constellations, and imagined them as the four elephants of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu according to their positions.On the head of Suzaku, there is a star constellation, which is composed of four stars, and its shape is close to a trapezoid, more like a coffin, known as the ghost constellation.Each constellation has a star official who takes turns to be on duty in the heavenly court, checking right and wrong in the world, and regulating human behavior.The star official of Guisu is a ghost golden goat. It is not suitable to be erected during the day when he is on duty, but it is the most suitable for burial. Therefore, people think that Guisu represents great evil and death, which is very unlucky. The coffins of later generations are shaped like Guisu evolved.In the middle part of the ghost house, there is a group of things that seem to be gas but not gas, and stars that are not stars. The ancients believed that it was the gas emitted by the corpse in the coffin, so it was called corpse gas.

If the four black beads around the cave represent the four stars of ghosts, the surrounding stone walls form a complete coffin, and the black air rising inside represents the poison emitted from the corpse. The entire cave is a carefully arranged coffin. The epitome of ghosts living in the world.

Ghost places mean great evil, and no matter what, you can't stay in a place of great evil for a long time, but the old cow is still trapped in it, how can you let him out?According to the theory of Feng Shui, whether a place is good or bad depends on its aura, momentum, and shape. Qi gathers into momentum, and momentum is maintained by shape. If the shape is broken, the momentum will naturally disappear, and the energy will also Dissipate, qi dissipates, Feng Shui does not exist.The problem is that it is impossible for us to break the big natural coffin in front of us, and we don’t have any tools to move it. If we want to learn from the old revolutionary Yugong, we can’t dig it with a hammer and a chisel, even if we really give it to me now. It's a hammer, I'd rather throw the hammer directly, and it's better to hit the old bull on the head to kill him, so that the old cow doesn't have to wait for a long time in the dead body, and I'm too lazy to waste time and effort, and everyone will save a lot of trouble.

"Tie Yan, do you think it's these jars that have been changed? Or, let me open it and see what's inside?" Lao Niu asked tentatively.

I quickly responded: "Knock, knock you on the head. When you came in, didn't you see those pots and scattered bones in the cave? They were filled with human bones!"

"What about the bones? They're all from thousands of years ago. Back then, when the Four Olds were broken, I even smashed the statues of the gods. What's the point of smashing a few bones!" The old cow said as if it was very relaxed. .

The person who arranged the hole spent so much effort to create a haunted place to accumulate corpses, and set up a mystery to trap the people who broke in. I'm afraid they just don't want anyone to disturb the bones inside. Keep smashing, if another vampire bat king flies out later, it will be completely over.

The old cow is now in the dark and has no sense of direction at all. I can't go in, and I can't change the layout of the cave. If I want to save the old cow, I must first judge his position. Thinking of this, I said to the old cow: : "Lao Niu, don't keep talking nonsense, is Sanba Gaier still there? Shoot a gun to the top of your head, let me see where you are?"

The old cow seemed to be impatient for a long time. As soon as I finished speaking, a puff of smoke rose from the roof of the cave two or three feet away to the left. There were loud gunfire and the sound of bullets hitting the stone at the same time. this voice.It is easy to know where the old cow is. This hole is not very big. If I throw a rope in and let the old cow walk along the rope, it should come out.

I was so happy, I reached for the backpack behind me, ready to take out the rope, but what I touched was not a backpack, but a furry thing.
