Chapter 93: Corpse Kiln
I hurriedly sat down and called Sister Liang and handed over the business card. Sister Liang looked at it: "Oh, I heard that your accent should be from the Northeast, and my ex-husband is also from the Northeast." After saying that, he put the business card in his purse and took out one for me. I looked at the business card, and Kaohsiung and two men were communicating in Thai, and my Thai level was still at the level of a kindergarten class, and I couldn't understand even a tenth, so I had to give up. Everyone got up and prepared to go, Kaohsiung asked me to help Wei Ke move things, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of goods, there were several large pallets, a lot of Buddhist cards, two white threads, two bundles of red candles, a few large pieces of white cloth, two signature pens, and other miscellaneous items such as lighters and yellow mounting paper, a lot of mess.
Loading all these things into the trunk of the Kaohsiung car, Wei Ke drove another car to carry Azanjiu and Sister Liang, and the two cars set off. The village was remote enough, and after about 20 minutes of driving, it was almost entirely covered with trees and weeds under the headlights, and there were no buildings or people at all. I thought to myself, if someone were to kill someone in such a place, I guess no one would find it if it was rotten into bones.
As he was thinking about it, he saw what looked like a few brick walls shining on the headlights in front of him, which looked like the remains of some dilapidated old building. The car slowly stopped, everyone got out of the car, I felt a burst of shivering, I thought that the late night in Thailand in spring would not be too cool, at most not as hot as the night in Thailand last summer, but I thought wrong, I always felt that it was like turning on the air conditioner, and the cool breeze was blowing out of the refrigerator and going straight into the cracks of the bones.
When I opened the trunk and was moving things with Weike, I saw Kaohsiung shining around with a flashlight, there were more than a dozen brick walls of that kind, all of the same shape and size, and the distance was about the same, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a remnant of a house building. According to the command of Kaohsiung and Wei Ke, I put these things between the two walls, and when I got closer, I realized that these buildings were not simple walls, and there was a rectangular thing like a pool behind the wall, which was also made of bricks, and there were behind each wall. Azanjiu said two words to me, pointing to somewhere on the wall, I shook my head embarrassedly, spread my hands and said I didn't understand.
"Azanjiu asked you to move two pallets here. "I didn't wait for Kaohsiung to speak, then Sister Liang translated it for me. I hurriedly did so, first laid a white cloth on the ground, placed the tray against the wall on the cloth, and then according to Sister Liang's instructions, stacked dozens of Buddha cards on the plate. Wei Ke opened a plastic bag and took out several round arcs from it, some light gray, some dark yellow, all on both sides of the tray, and I lit six or seven red waxes with a lighter, and dripped wax oil on these arcs to stick to the wax body.
Wei Ke pulled out the white thread, which I reckoned was the warp. He handed me the thread and, knowing that I was not good at Thai, pointed the candle, the tray and the amulet inside with his hand back and forth, meaning that I would wrap the thread around these things in turn. I carefully wrapped the warp threads around the two candles a few times, then wrapped the tray horizontally and vertically a few times, and then around the candles, and so on, and went through the candles and the two trays along with the amulets inside. Wei Ke smiled and gave me a thumbs up, indicating that I had done a good job, and I thought to myself that I could do it with my hands and feet, and I could be praised for this work, which was really embarrassing.
Over there, Azanjiu called Wei Ke over to talk, and I asked Kaohsiung in a low voice: "What kind of place is this, why are there so many brick walls and rectangular pools?"
Kaohsiung said, "Won't you know by looking at it yourself?" After speaking, he handed me the flashlight, turned around and chatted with Sister Liang. Curious, I slowly walked up to the brick pool, leaned forward with my upper body, and shone a flashlight into it. It's good that I didn't look at it, but this photo almost scared me into throwing my flashlight in. There was a lot of earth in the brick pool, and there was a complete corpse half-hidden and half-exposed, from the skull to the soles of the feet, completely white and ossified, and the color of the bones was gray and blue under the light of the flashlight.
I quickly pulled around and ran to Kaohsiung's side. Sister Liang asked me with a smile: "What's the matter, look at your face is white." ”
I shrunk my head, swallowed my saliva, and pointed to the brick pool speechless. Kaohsiung gave me a blank look: "As for all the fuss? Have you never seen a dead man's bones? Didn't you see several of them in your paint factory in Shenyang last time?"
"No, I didn't expect it to be here. I had no choice but to answer honestly. Sister Liang said that of course, the corpse kiln was full of dead people, and there were all in every kiln. I only then learned that this place is called a corpse kiln, and I consulted Kaohsiung, and he said that the corpse kiln is for the dead, because this kind of corpse is generally very resentful, so in order not to let the ghost of the deceased interfere with the living, so they are not buried in the collective cemetery of the village, but a special corpse kiln is built. Each rectangular corpse kiln places a corpse bone, does not hold a coffin, and the mage must first exceed it when buried, and some have to go for several days to eliminate grievances.
Each corpse kiln is open to the air in order to allow the corpses to rot into white bones more quickly, so that the resentment will be greater. And after Master Azan is exceeded, the deceased's yin spirit will calm down the anger faster, just like waiting for the sores to completely emerge before dealing with them, it is better than burying it in the body and starting to apply the medicine, the effect is better.
After listening to Kaohsiung's story, I felt that my scalp was numb and seemed to be colder. I thought that the cemetery was the kind of place where all the tombstones were placed, but that time the son of my college classmate Boss Yang was evil, and Kaohsiung and I took Azan to Yingkou to do exorcism rituals, and we went to the Yang family's cemetery in the countryside in the middle of the night, which was already terrifying enough, but now when I see these corpse kilns, I feel that it is more frightening than the cemetery. Although the bones were lying in the brick kiln, they were in the open air, and I always felt that there would be corpses sitting up at any moment.
Azan sat cross-legged in front of two trays, holding the warp in his hand and began to chant mantras. I wanted to ask where the pieces of Binling in Kaohsiung were, but I was embarrassed. After about ten minutes of blessings, Azan stopped chanting, and Wei Ke put the Buddha card into a black plastic bag, then took out the two pens, and took out a small glass bottle, which seemed to contain a dark liquid. He picked up a few candles, pressed them hard into the soil and erected them, and Azanjiu picked up a few arcs at the bottom, opened the glass cap, opened the cap of the pen and put it into the bottle, dipped it in some liquid, and then drew on the arcs. Kaohsiung and Sister Liang jointly used a flashlight to illuminate him.
At first, I was still guessing where the bones of the guests in Kaohsiung were, but now I know that they were originally seated on the seat of the candle, and I thought it was the base. I saw that the patterns and symbols that Azanjiu had drawn on the arc were bright red, and I realized that the liquid in the glass bottle was also the same color, very much like blood. Suddenly I thought, is it blood? Azanjiu drew all four arcs, laid them flat in the two trays, opened the ten fingers of both hands and pressed the trays, and recited the mantra again.
