Chapter 52: The Mystery of the Hanging Coffin

The two of them looked admiring, and a few words made them loyal fans of Xiao Senhan, and they had reason to believe that following the son would have a future, and this person's identity must be the most expensive, and when the girls of the Yu clan would pursue themselves.

The two took Xiao Senhan through the school hall and heard the sound of the children reading aloud.

Xiao Senhan couldn't help but ask, "How many children are here?"

The elder replied: "Hui Gongzi, there are about dozens of them here! Many village owners have taken their dolls after hearing that Nine Silk City has been breached!"

Xiao Senhan asked in surprise, "What do you call me?"

Although this is the name of the Han people for scholars, you are also a scholar of my Yu tribe, and we should respect you. You are a person with status now, as long as you put it in the stockade, you are a living bodhisattva. How can you be like us with mud legs, your life alone is worth countless of us. ”

"Brother Niu's words are very right! If you want to join the Yu Alliance, it is definitely at the level of a military division. ”

Xiao Senhan smiled and said, "Since you want to call me in the Han way, then call me Xiao Gongzi! ”

The elder patted his chest and shouted: "My name is Gong Niu, next to me is the brother of my worship, and we will follow Xiao Gongzi in the future." ”

The figures of the two are as strong as oxen, and they are both reckless men. The strong muscles in the arms look like people who have been wielding knives and guns for a long time.

Xiao Senhan patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Then my life safety can be handed over to the two heroes! I am a scholar, you have to protect me!"

Ou Shishi said: "Xiao Gongzi, don't worry, my stone is a well-known good player in the sixty villages, and a wrestling champion within a radius of hundreds of miles." ”

Gong Niu said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi, don't listen to his bragging, I am also famous in the village for my good stamina." Don't worry, even in the midst of the hosts, with the ability of the two of us, even in the countless corpses in the pile, I can dig you out and bring you back completely. ”

Xiao Senhan grimaced and asked, "Why are your names so weird?"

The two touched their heads and said embarrassedly: "We are all people from the lower class of the Yu tribe, that is, the people who are often referred to in your Han people, so I was born in the cattle pen and can only be called Gong Niu." My brother was born next to a mountain rock pile, and it is called District Stone. ”

Xiao Senhan almost forgot that the Yu people practiced the slave system, and the Ming Dynasty's reform of the land and return to the stream, in fact, implemented the feudal system in a few famous ethnic areas and reorganized the Tusi system.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. All the land belonged to the Ming Emperor, and the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty was the largest landlord class. However, the Tusi system is highly autonomous, and all their land is vested in the Tusi, and the Tusi of each ethnic group is the largest landlord of the nation.

The lower-class people in their mouths are actually the descendants of the slaves of the Yu tribe, and they are naturally slaves. However, the status of the slaves of the Hu tribe was not permanent, and they once established their own state of servants, changing their identity through war. For more than 2,600 years from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the servants paid many hardships and heavy prices for their survival and development, and for national freedom and equality.

Gong Niu took Xiao Senhan through the inner hall and pointed to the mountains and valleys not far away.

Xiao Senhan suddenly saw the coffins hanging high on the cliffs, the ruins of the ancient battlefields that carried the light of swords and swords, and the rock paintings of servants who were still brightly colored after years of friction, and asked in surprise: "Is this the hanging coffin of the servants?"

Ou Shi looked at the hanging coffin, looked respectful, and said: "My Yu people can be buried in the hanging coffin after death, how can I be glorious at that time?"

Gong Niu also looked in awe, and said: "My Yu men are only to enter the Tibetan hanging coffin and keep our corpses forever, so as to bless the prosperity of future generations, which is an auspicious and a status symbol." With our identity, we can't enter the hanging coffin at all, and there is no descendant to paint petroglyphs for our deeds in this life and this life......"

Xiao Senhan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What conditions do you need?"

The two shook their heads at the same time and said: "We don't know this! Just need to understand one thing, when your conditions are met, your hanging coffin will appear on the cliff of a thousand tenacities, and when your destiny is one, someone will naturally bury you inside." ”

Xiao Senhan was very curious about how the technology of the Yi people placed the hanging coffin on the Qianren cliff? From the expressions of these two people, it can be completely seen that this hanging coffin can only choose the tomb owner, but the tomb owner cannot take the initiative to choose. So how do ordinary people of the Yu tribe be buried?

Xiao Senhan consulted information showing that after the death of people of this ethnic group, they did not need to be buried, cremated, or buried in the sky or water. If they all choose to hide the hanging coffin, wouldn't it be very costly and costly?

Even if a large number of slaves are used, then the identity of the tomb owner is the exclusive benefit of the major village owners of the Yu nationality, that is, the slave owner. But the expressions of the two told him that everyone had a chance.

Then the Hu people who built the hanging coffin are an independent group, and they are the feng shui masters of the Yu people. Xiao Senhan believes that the people of the Yu tribe should believe in Feng Shui very much, so they have a criterion for judging.

Xiao Senhan loudly speculated on himself: "First: the filial piety of the local people to the elders, after the death of the elders, placed in the hanging coffin, which means ascending to heaven. Second: soldiers who died on the battlefield. Ningwu has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and has the nickname of "Hundred Battles Building Annoying Land". After the war, the locals could not bear the bones of the deceased, so they used pine wooden coffins to bury them properly, and placed the coffins in stone caves. Third: it is a monk after his death, or a feng shui master of the Yu tribe. Fourth, it is a foreign businessman and an overseas Chinese without children. In the local kindness and simplicity, charity and help people are strong, those who have contributed to the Yu nationality, and those who have died in a foreign land will be placed in the custom of stone burial. ”

The two nodded and said: "Xiao Gongzi's analysis is very reasonable, the two of us can only have a chance to bury the hanging coffin if my Yu clan dies in battle!"

Xiao Senhan couldn't help but smile and said: "You can rest assured! Follow me, I promise to let you enter the hanging coffin, and the hanging position is determined by you, haha!"

Gong Niu smiled shyly, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Gongzi, you know Da Ming, do you say that this holy war of my Yu clan can be won?"

Xiao Senhan was silent, he saw that there was a smelting workshop here, only to find that the smelting technology of the servants was very low, they developed from bronze to iron, and the control of furnace temperature and raw materials was not fully grasped.

The late Ming Dynasty was an era of great development of science and technology, and people began to pay attention to the development of science and technology, and published a large number of books on this subject. The craftsman spirit proposed by Xiao Senhan last time he crossed the Ming Dynasty has also been continued. For example, during this period, craftsmen tried for the first time to combine coal with piston bellows, and obtained unprecedented high temperatures, which allowed them to make sharper weapons, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army.

So this is a duel between the two eras, ancient and modern, swords and guns and gunpowder, the victory or defeat is actually predestined, no matter how brave the servants are, the heroes of the cold weapon era will never be able to defeat the Ming army equipped with a large number of firearms and artillery.

When he thought of this, Xiao Senhan couldn't help but think: "How should I complete the mission of savior, how should I save this nation?"

PS: There are very few materials about the story of the Yu people, and I can only set aside history and restore the background of an era. There may be discrepancies between the legends and the mystery of the hanging coffin of the Yu people and the historical records, please don't pursue this question, the novel is just a form of artistic expression, after my processing, I just want to tell you a story!
