Chapter 119: A Rare Omen for a Hundred Years
Thinking of this, Shen Meng suddenly thought that her Indian classmates had said that people who died in India were buried by water, and cremation was not practiced in India, so the deceased were sent to the Ganges, the Ganges River is like the Yellow River in China, the Mother River, which is a sacred place, and the dead are sent there to represent eternal life, through the Ganges River for eternal life.

The people there not only buried the dead in the Ganges, but also ate the water from the Ganges and used the water from the Ganges, like brushing their teeth, washing their faces, bathing, cooking, and so on.
This represents the sacred, where the water is holy water.
Thinking of the water burial, Shen Meng felt that this man had been buried by water for a while, and then carried here.
Sure enough, Shen Meng heard the woman crying again, "Why didn't Ganges take in my husband...... He must have been wronged......"
Shen Meng was so glad that he learned some Indian language with his Indian classmates in the dormitory when he was studying abroad, otherwise he would be like a fool when he came here, and he couldn't understand anything, although he couldn't understand every sentence now, he still understood the general meaning.
Presumably, this man died a normal death, and then his family buried him in water. But after the water burial, the man's body must have been abnormal, and he was carried out of the Ganges by his family, and then came here, it seems that this ancient city is a place where the people here redress their grievances, and it is a place to avenge the dead.
They placed the ancient book on the deceased, probably intending to help her dead husband with the sacred ancient book.
Shen Meng stood aside indifferently and continued to listen to what those people said?
"Why does my eldest brother bleed in his eyes, mouth, and nose when he died, my eldest brother must have been ......wronged," another little girl cried.
Sure enough, as Shen Meng guessed, it was really abnormal in the body after death.
In fact, with scientific explanations, there are many possible situations in which this happens, and it is not uncommon for the body to appear after being immersed in water, after all, there must still be various underwater creatures growing in the Ganges, and the people here are all buried in water, so the underwater creatures must also feed on the corpses here.
After the corpse is immersed in water, different kinds of organisms will eat at the corpse, and perhaps some will burrow into the human corpse to eat.
The blood from the eyes and nose of the deceased must have been caused by a creature that had gotten into the deceased's head, and then bit through the undried blood stains, so that it came out of the mouth, eyes and nose.
Shen Meng's inference made her feel sick in her heart, but it was very likely.
As for what creatures are under the water, humans are not only exploring.
So this phenomenon is not surprising.
However, the family of the deceased is unwilling to believe that the deceased has grievances to do so, what can be done to make the family of the deceased eliminate these thoughts?
Quickly turning her little brain, Shen Meng's brain is very good, even if there is an emergency, she will calmly think about countermeasures.
"Confused!" Shen Meng said two words in the Indian language, the voice was not very loud or very small, but everyone present heard it.
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked. Everyone looked at Shen Meng in unison, and a question couldn't help but arise in their hearts: foreigners?
Indeed, Shen Meng was a foreigner in the eyes of these people at this time.
Although she wears traditional local clothing, her peugeot facial features are not Indian at first glance.
Everyone looked at Shen Meng, and the entire first floor was silent in an instant, and even the sound of crying just now suddenly stopped.
The security guards who had just arrived also stopped, and when they saw a corpse parked in the main hall, their faces changed suddenly, how could such a dark thing happen in such a sacred place.
"What did you say?" The weeping woman stood up abruptly, came to Shen Meng, and looked at her angrily.
First of all, seeing that Shen Meng was not a local, she was a little angry, what qualifications did a foreigner have to interfere in their affairs.
And then she had heard what she had just said clearly, and this woman had just said that she was confused!
What do you mean?
Shen Meng didn't speak at first, mainly because her Indian language was not very good, and then this woman was very uncalm now, she had to be careful when she spoke, and it was best to calm her as soon as she came up.
Looking at the woman's fierce gaze, Shen Meng's previous calm and calm eyes gradually turned into sharp and cold. Tilted his head slightly over and looked at the dead body.
"Confused!" The cold one repeated again, the dark color as sharp as a knife.
The woman instantly felt insulted, and her body trembled, as if she didn't know what to say?
Raising his hand, he pointed at Shen Meng fiercely and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to talk nonsense here, what qualifications do you have to teach us. β
Shen Meng looked back, looked at the woman indifferently, simply approached the woman, and said in a low voice: "This is obviously a rare auspicious omen for a hundred years, confused woman, you dare to say that this is a bad omen, shouldn't you teach a lesson?" β
Because of Shen Meng's approach, the woman's body couldn't help but lean back, and the morale just now disappeared all at once, because Shen Meng's statement was too shocking.
Auspicious?
Isn't that a bad omen?
"You know what?! You're not from us, so how can you understand our etiquette here? The woman asked, but her confidence was not as strong and arrogant as before.
"Humph! Believe it or not, what do good signs and bad omen have to do with me. Shen Meng turned her face to the side after speaking, not looking at the corpse, because it was really terrifying and disgusting to look at, and at this time she was also trying her best to endure the tumbling in her stomach, seeing such a terrifying and disgusting thing was really the cruelest punishment for the stomach.
The tumbling in her stomach made her almost vomit several times, but she tried her best to calm these people.
Shen Meng's attitude made the woman's concept change suddenly.
Is it really a good omen?
"Who the hell are you?" The woman asked again.
"Honest people." Shen Meng replied lightly, secretly thinking in his heart that he hoped that this trick would work.
"How do you know that my husband is a good omen?" The woman asked curiously.
"The Ganges is a sacred river, and even if a wronged person is buried there, he will be blessed by the Ganges and will have eternal life. However, you say that the holiness of the Ganges River means that your husband has a grievance, and your husband's eyes, nose and mouth are bleeding, which is undoubtedly a harbinger of rebirth. Shen Meng said calmly.
The woman froze.
Yes, there will be more blood there when people die!
How did she see this auspicious sign as a bad omen!
Confused!
Sure enough, as this woman said, she was too confused.
Husband, this must be a harbinger of rebirth, the blessing of the Ganges, and the power of the holy water of the Ganges.
But-
My husband is now being carried here by them, what should I do if I make such a fuss?! Will this anger the sacred Ganges?
The woman and the others looked worried.
It is a great sin to anger the holy Ganges!
"Husband, I'm sorry, I was wrong, what should I do?" Suddenly, the woman began to cry sadly, this time not with a howl, not with resentment, but with a cry of worry, a cry of regret, a cry of fear, and a fear that the holy Ganges would be angered by it, and whether the living would be implicated!
"If you don't send him back to the Ganges quickly, and you people will kneel there for a long time, and ask the holy Ganges for forgiveness." Shen Meng said sharply, let these people believe in her without reason and obey her.
Who wants to believe that a bad omen has befallen their family, and now when they hear Shen Meng say this, after knowing that it is a good omen, they are a lot more relieved, and they naturally obediently obey Shen Meng's orders.
Those who had burned paper money again, as well as those who were kneeling on the ground, got up one after another, walked up to the corpse, carefully lifted the corpse, and began to walk out the door.
"Stopβ" Shen Meng yelled.
All the people stood obediently, and no one dared to take another half step.
Shen Meng felt not only fearful, but also a natural sense of majesty between his gestures.
"Do you still want to bury the ancient books in the water?!" Shen Meng approached and asked in a cold voice.
"Huh? Oh. The woman suddenly realized, took the ancient book off her husband's body with both hands, and before she could return it, Shen Meng reached out and took it, and said sharply: "Hurry up and bury your husband in the water, it is a sin to delay the time and live forever." Shen Meng kindly reminded.
"Oh, yes, yes, let's go, please send the ancient book back to the main hall." The woman put the ancient book in Shen Meng's hand, then bent down to thank her and quickly left.
Shen Meng took the ancient book and watched those people leave, and the security guard who arrived just now quickly called the cleaner to clean up the place, and now there is paper money and burned-out paper ashes everywhere.
Just when the ancient book in Shen Meng's hand was not yet warm, a thug reached over and took the ancient book, and then said: "This is not a place for you to stay for a long time, you better leave quickly!" Shen Meng looked at the person who spoke, and could see that this person was in charge here, but why didn't he come out just now, now that the matter has been dealt with, this person has come out, what does it mean!
"I'll leave, but I want to ......," Shen Meng said in a low voice as he looked at the ancient book.
"You still don't have to think about it, no holy thing here can leave the ancient city, thank you for what you just did." The man said again.
In fact, Shen Meng also understands that this book is an ancient book, a sacred book, especially with a long history, so it is even more precious, if she takes this book away, it will definitely alarm the officials here, and it will be more troublesome at that time.
Shen Meng couldn't help but glance at the man a few more times, this man is the manager here?
Why didn't he come forward when such a big thing happened here just now, the matter was solved, and he came out.
And, what does this man know about her purpose? Otherwise, what did he mean by those words, just now he said that every holy relic here should not leave the ancient city, which was a hint that she should not take away the ancient books?
I saw that the man carefully put the ancient book in a box, then covered it with a silk handkerchief, and finally folded his hands and didn't know what he was praying for.
At this time, Shen Meng didn't want to step forward and say anything, but she had to borrow the ancient book, just borrow, and it was okay to look at it, she had already memorized the words in the Jade Guanyin, as long as she looked at the ancient book.
There should be those words in the ancient books, this ancient city is left in ancient India in the 8th century AD. The text displayed in the Jade Guanyin is the script of this century, and at that time this script was called Aryan script.
Therefore, this ancient book is left over from that century, and Shen Meng believes that as long as he looks at this ancient book, he will definitely be able to find those related words.
It's just that...... This man ...... (To be continued.) )
