Chapter 507: Crematorium
I stared at Panon Monastery and said in a deep voice, "Of course, I went in to find the aborted corpse of Niya." ”
We entered the temple, although there are many tourists in the temple, but they are quiet, a quiet and peaceful, the temple in Thailand is different from the country, not only a place to promote Buddhism, but also has the function of holding funerals, cremating the body, and placing the ashes, so many temples have a columbarium wall and an incinerator, the fetal corpse belongs to the yin object, and it will definitely be placed in these places.
We searched in the temple for a while, and soon found a columbarium wall in the backyard, the columbarium wall was carved with a large number of square lattices, each of which was engraved with a picture of the deceased in Thai text.
There is a gap in the middle of the columbarium wall, and there is a cobblestone path that leads to an unknown place, and the path is full of lush trees on both sides, which shade the sky and the sun, and even the sun does not shine in.
I thought about it and retreated to the top of the temple building and looked towards the top of the tree.
Han Fei was curious: "Brother Luo, what are you looking at?"
I said, "Chimneys, crematoriums all have chimneys, and it's easy to see." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the towering chimney of the crematorium, which I was sure was the chimney of the crematorium, so I took Han Fei and walked over the path, and after walking out of the woods, we saw an isolated building, surrounded by a lawn, and there were no other buildings.
In front of the building is a Thai-style pavilion with black and white draperies, on the top of the pavilion is a miniature gold-lacquered stupa carved with Thai Buddhist deities, and behind the pavilion is an elaborate hut with an inverted V-roof, the exterior walls and roof are painted gold, and a few birds are listening to the chirping on the roof.
However, there is a chimney about ten meters high on the roof of the hut, which looks very abrupt and incompatible with the whole building.
Han Fei muttered, "Is this the crematorium? The environment here is so quiet, and the buildings complement each other well, if you don't know, you still think it is a temple." ”
I said, "That's true, the difference between a temple and a cremation place in Thailand is not very big, and it is easy for uninformed tourists to make mistakes, and they think that it is a temple, and they all visit it when they see it, so they make a lot of jokes, and it is difficult to tell if it is a temple or a burning place without this chimney." ”
Han Fei said: "I have seen it for a long time. ”
I said: "There are two forms of crematories in Thai temples, one is the chimney tower pavilion is separated, the other is the chimney tower pavilion integrated type, this crematorium belongs to the detached type, the front tower pavilion is used to hold puja, after the Thai people pass away, they usually send it to the temple for the monks to chant sutras, and then carry it into the crematorium in the back hut to incinerate, the ashes can be taken home and buried by themselves, or the ashes will be given to the monks and placed on the columbarium wall they just saw." ”
Han Fei asked, "Brother Luo, did you say that the fetal corpse would be in the hut where the corpse was burned?"
I rolled my eyes and said: "The fetal corpse belongs to the yin thing, so it will naturally be placed in these places, otherwise what am I bringing you here for?" There is the evil aura of the gods and Buddhas in the temple, and the negativity of the fetal corpse will be restrained, so it will lose its efficacy, then it will not be able to make Kuman Tong and the little ghost, so it is very likely to be kept in the crematorium. ”
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, Han Fei showed timidity, stroked his arms and said, "I didn't think that this place was quite gloomy when you said this, Brother Luo, since they stored the fetal corpse in the crematorium, why is there no one to guard it?"
I explained: "People are the same, Thais also think this kind of place is unlucky, not the dead people in the family generally do not enter this kind of place, Thai people are devout believers, will never make a break into this kind of place, the crematorium usually locks the door when not in use, so no one comes to this place at all, what do you want to guard?"
Han Fei nodded and said, "That's the same, then should we go in and find the aborted fetal corpse of Niya?"
I didn't say anything, Han Fei is asking nonsense, of course I have to go in to find the fetal corpse.
I stepped into the pavilion and walked to the front of the hut, there was a lock hanging on the door of the hut, which made it difficult for me, I wouldn't be Wu Tian and Huang Weimin's little trick of unlocking, there was no other way than to smash the lock and get in, I asked Han Fei to find a stone, and was just about to smash the lock when suddenly there was movement on the path.
We had no choice but to run to the back of the hut and hide, looking out.
I saw a few monks carrying a body covered with a white cloth towards this side, followed by two Thai people with folded hands, praying sincerely, I frowned, at this time someone held a funeral is really troublesome, a puja will take several hours, plus the time of cremation, not half a day can not come down at all, and I am pressed for time, I can't afford to delay, I am a little helpless.
Han Fei asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, how did you come across the funeral, Brother Luo, what should we do?"
I looked up to the sky and sighed and said, "What else can I do, I can only wait for ......." ”
But before I finished speaking, I was a spirit, because I saw the chimney!
The puja lasts for a few hours, and if we can make a difference in time, and there is enough time, the puja is held in the pavilion, with pavilions and curtains, and we climb up from the back of the chimney, and as long as we don't make a movement, we won't be noticed at all!
Seeing me staring at the chimney in a daze, Han Fei immediately reacted, and said in a trembling voice: "No, you want to climb in through the chimney? This is too dangerous, is it possible to do it right under the noses of these monks? Besides, it will be very difficult to be so high with your bare hands." ”
I said, "If you don't do it, you know it's impossible, don't talk nonsense, you stare here, I'll just go in alone." ”
Han Fei said: "Since I want to take the risk, how can I stand idly by, I will go in with you, this chimney is about ...... tall tree I climbed when I was a child." ”
I interrupted: "It's still not, the goal of two people is too big, you can still have a care if you stay outside, and if something happens, you can still notify me in time." ”
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "Okay then. ”
We hid behind the house and waited, the monks parked the bodies in the pavilion, the family members knelt there reverently, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, the monks sat down and began to chant, I carefully climbed up to the roof, to the roof to see, the view here was blocked by the pavilion tightly, there was no way to see the situation of the roof, as long as there was not too much movement, they could not find it at all, it was a great opportunity!
I came to the chimney, and the only thing that was difficult now was to climb this chimney about ten meters high!
