Chapter 34: The Eternal Love of the Desert (4)

Jiang Xiaorui's eyes lit up: "What does a suitable body mean?" ”

"Just died, the three souls and seven spirits have entered the underworld reincarnation, and they will never come back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhong Ling said: "It's best to be a woman, if it is a corpse born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, it is the best, and the rest of the souls occupy this corpse, and they can return to yang." ”

"In that case, I'll go find a corpse and get her back, so she can stay with me forever." Jiang Xiaorui was overjoyed, picked up the clothes on the ground and began to put them on: "I'll go out to find it now." ”

"Big cousin......" Zhang Tianyu was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhong Ling's look: "Okay, you might as well look for it first, anyway, I won't be able to think of a way to open the Seven Star Soul Lock Array for a while, let's just go with you." ”

Zhong Ling and Zhang Tianyu followed Jiang Xiaorui to go down, only to wait for the entrance of the cave, the blind insect blocked the entrance of the cave again, and before the two of them could speak, Jiang Xiaorui took out a dry grass and poked the guy's wet tail, the guy lazily removed the tail, revealing the hole, Jiang Xiaorui turned back with satisfaction: "This kind of grass is what Butterfly Dance taught me to find, this guy is most afraid of this kind of grass, as soon as he scratches it, he will move away, let's go." ”

"Big cousin, are you really going to find a corpse to make her yang?" Zhang Tianyu thinks how Zhong Ling has such a tendonous cousin.

"You might as well try." Zhong Ling said: "If it doesn't work, we can't draw conclusions now, my brother came all the way and almost lost the lives of the teacher and his classmates, how can he go back like this?" No way! ”

Jiang Xiaorui was taken aback: "What's wrong with the professor?" ”

Zhong Ling was ready to go out and talk about it, bypassing the blind worm, the time was already afternoon, the sky outside was always gloomy, how easy was it to find the corpse, there were many corpses before, and there were sparsely populated people all the way, the sky burial platform? There are a lot of bones there, but there is not even skin and flesh, do you want to let Butterfly Dance regenerate into a white bone beauty?

Zhang Tianyu said: "There are sparsely populated here, and the corpses are concentrated, the corpses are photographed alive, and they become corpses, one after another, it is endless, sparsely populated, and the personnel are not frequently replaced, where do we find the corpses." ”

Zhong Ling thought of a river on the road when he came, and said: "I have a way, there are several funeral methods here, cremation, cremation is also a more noble funeral method." The specific way is that after death, after the person dies, after the rituals such as receiving the qi, entering the coffin, and exceeding, the corpse is put into the coffin in a squatting shape, the ghee is poured on the firewood and grass, and then the corpse is cremated, and the ashes are collected and put into a wooden box or clay pot, and buried downstairs at home or on the top of the mountain, or in the pure land. The tomb is in the shape of a tower. This way there is no rectification, only ashes. ”

"Then what are you talking about?" Jiang Xiaorui unconsciously began to follow Zhong Ling's rhythm.

"The rest is a celestial burial." Zhong Ling said: "This is okay, the rest is burial and water burial." ”

"The burial is basically not considered, and it has snowed recently, and this place will become a rotting corpse if it is buried." Zhong Ling said: "The only hope is water burial, and in this area, when people with poor economic conditions and cannot afford to hire lamas die or when the deceased are widows or young children, they are generally buried with water. In water burial, the body is carried to the river and dismembered, and then thrown into the river. In some places, the body is wrapped in a white cloth or blanket and then dropped into the river to worship the river god. ”

Jiang Xiaorui was obviously groggy, but now he heard clearly: "Disintegration? It's all broken up, and it's good? ”

"Yes, it used to be dismembered and thrown into the river, or filled into the river." Zhong Ling said: "But the later people did not follow this tradition, and the river is from top to bottom, we are now in the downstream, we can try our luck, but it is a little far from here, the altitude is low, after all, then the river can flow, do you want to go?" ”

Jiang Xiaorui made up his mind: "Go!" ”

The three of them walked to the river, and Zhang Tianyu suddenly stopped, "Boy, what's wrong?" Zhong Ling asked.

"There are discoveries." Zhang Tianyu said: "There is something floating on the river. ”

It was too late, it was too late, and when the others were still looking at the white bag on the river, Jiang Xiaorui had already rushed towards the river, and when he reached the shore, he could see a white bag tied to the log, hanging in the river and floating downstream, and the thing had been floating on the water surface by the buoyancy of the log, and there was no sign of sinking.

Jiang Xiaorui was overjoyed, God opened his eyes, and there was hope for the resurrection of the butterfly dance.

He jumped into the river regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and was grabbed by Zhong Ling: "Brother, you are crazy, you can't go up with clothes, you must recover your body temperature immediately after a while, otherwise something will happen." ”

Jiang Xiaorui was stunned, immediately took off his glasses, took off only his thermal underwear, and jumped into the river with a plop, chasing the bag floating with the current, Zhong Ling was dumbfounded: "Is that really my brother?" My brother has never done anything full of courage since he was a child. ”

Besides, Jiang Xiaorui rushed into the river like crazy, and finally caught up with the white bag, his whole body was cold, his teeth were fighting up and down, and he bit loudly, he didn't care about 3721 dragging the log to the shore, and when he got to the shore, Zhong Ling and Zhang Tianyu bent down to help, but the river bank was too high, and the log was too long, so they couldn't pull it up.

"Brother, push it up hard, if it doesn't work, take the bag off," Zhong Ling was anxious: "How long do you want to soak in the river?" ”

Jiang Xiaorui gritted his teeth and untied the bag on it, and waited for the bag to be lifted, and climbed ashore with his belt, Zhong Ling immediately wrapped him, Jiang Xiaorui put on his glasses, and his body trembled: "Ling, Ling'er, hurry, see if it's in the bag." ”

Zhang Tianyu had already opened the bag, and the contents made him exhale in a low voice: "**** Yun ......"

It's actually a woman's corpse inside!

Pull it out and take a look, although the skin is dark, and there is a typical plateau red, but the facial features are soft, the body is light, it is a beautiful woman, stretching her fingers under her nose, she is out of breath, Zhong Ling only pressed the skin, and immediately said: "Dead for less than twelve hours, it can be described as freshly baked, look at the skin and skeleton, it is an unmarried and childless woman." ”

Jiang Xiaorui heard it clearly, and he was comforted from the bottom of his heart.

Zhong Ling was distressed: "Brother, you are crazy, is it worth it to ignore your body for a dead woman?" ”

"It's worth it." Jiang Xiaorui smirked and wrapped himself tightly, his feet shaking constantly.

Zhong Ling had a feeling of evil, and put his hands together: "Girl, this is all the will of heaven, don't worry, I will definitely let you fall into the ground and go west safely, this is empty, please do us a favor first, if you need my heavenly master's help, come to me at any time." ”

The already cold air suddenly swept a gust of wind, sweeping Zhong Ling's face, Zhong Ling turned his head suddenly, there seemed to be a shadow floating in the air, Zhong Ling immediately chanted a word, and the shadow slowly became full, exactly like the girl in the body bag!

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, a scene immediately appeared in front of Zhong Ling's eyes, this girl was sitting cross-legged in a low room, the house was dilapidated, there were few decent pieces of furniture, let alone household appliances, she was wearing beautiful clothes, her face was flushed, and she was looking at the mirror in front of her stupidly.

In addition to her face, there are several posthumous portraits reflected in the mirror, looking at her father and mother, and a child younger than her, who should be her younger brother.

Taking a closer look, Zhong Ling was shocked, these three people were just a few of the corpses that night!

So, this girl is an orphan girl......

All of my relatives are dead, and I am in danger of becoming a corpse at any time, and I am really lonely.

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, she stepped out of the house, it turned out that the house was by the river, she got into the prepared cloth bag, tightened the bag from the inside, and just before she breathed, rolled into the river with the log.

gave himself a person's funeral, and no one saw the death of a desperate girl except himself.

This place is sparsely populated, and the other herders are either turned into corpses or are afraid of being raised and moved away, and there are only a few people left.

"She was poisoned." Zhong Ling said: "Suicide." What do you want me to do for you? ”

"After I died, my parents didn't make colorful prayer flags for me, and I didn't want to feel at ease." The girl smiled sadly: "Without God's blessing, I can't ascend to heaven." ”

Zhong Ling understood that the believers in this area were very different from the Han Chinese, believing that after death, their souls would be taken away by colorful prayer flags, so that they would be blessed with death.

The blue banner is the symbol of the sky, the white banner is the symbol of the white clouds, the red banner is the symbol of the flame, the green banner is the symbol of green water, and the yellow banner is the symbol of the land. In this way, the order of the prayer flags from top to bottom is also fixed, just as the law of nature with the blue sky above and the loess below remains unchanged through the ages, and the order of the prayer flags of various colors cannot be changed.

It is called prayer flags because these flags are printed with Buddhist scriptures, and when the prayer flags dance in the wind, they are chanted once, constantly conveying people's wishes to the gods and praying for God's protection. In this way, prayer flags become the link between God and man.

There are even few people here, how to find the prayer flags, Zhong Ling was in a dilemma for a while, took out an incense candle and put it on the ground: "Girl, this is a deposit, when I borrow your corpse, I will definitely use the best prayer flags to see you off after the incident!" ”

The girl sighed softly, "I believe in you." ”

Zhong Ling was stunned, and the girl said: "I saw you dealing with the weak man that night, I know that you are not ordinary people, maybe only you can let everyone return home." ”

Everyone heard some off-string sounds, and Zhang Tianyu asked, "Why are there so many weak men here?" ”

"Ever since that strange archaeological team came here, things have gotten a little weird." As soon as the girl spoke, everyone was frightened: "I don't know where to run out of a strange weak man, rushed into our residence, many people were patted on the head and turned into corpses, things got out of control, some people felt that something was wrong and ran away quickly." ”

Several people looked at Jiang Xiaorui in unison, and he didn't realize it, holding his clothes and trembling, Zhong Ling said: "Things don't seem to be very ordinary, the weak man happened after the archaeological team arrived here." ”

The girl said: "Our village is all over, even the cattle and sheep are almost the same, what else is there to live, I just came back from working in the field, my fiancΓ© died, my brother and parents also died, I can't live, I can't live......"

"So, are you willing to agree to my terms?" Zhong Ling said, "Let me borrow your corpse for use." ”

The girl nodded and disappeared into the air, Zhang Tianyu turned around and said, "I don't know where to run out of a strange weak man." ”

Zhong Ling said: "The point is to be weird, in order to prevent the weak man here, the house is deliberately built low, and I must have seen it before, but the girl just now used the word weird, indicating that the other party is different from the weak man they saw, this weak lang makes this place bleak, and it is also what happened after my brother and his party came over, guess, is there a connection between the two?" ”

Zhang Tianyu shrugged: "One hundred." ”

At this time, Jiang Xiaorui said anxiously: "What are you waiting for, go back quickly." ”

Zhong Ling looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy, the wind and snow were coming, take advantage of the wind and snow to retreat quickly, and when he returned to the cave with the girl's body, Jiang Xiaorui said to the mural: "Butterfly Dance, we will meet soon, you are going to come back to life, Zhong Ling, you hurry up and find a way, how to break the seven-star array you just said." ”

"Seven Star Soul Locking Array." Zhong Ling said, "Go back." ”

Everyone retreated back more than two meters in tacit understanding, Zhong Ling took out six Zhengyang talismans, climbed up with Zhang Tianyu's shoulder, and pasted them on the six stars with six Zhengyang talismans, leaving only the last star.

After jumping off the ground, Zhong Ling put his hands together: "Heaven and earth are born together, sweep away the filth and eliminate the sorrows, refine the nine realms, and return the form to the truth!" ”

The wall shook violently, the woman's hair on the painting seemed to flutter, the corners of her clothes danced, and even the fire in the brazier around her was shaking.

The shadow had long hair and waist-length, the forehead ornament on her forehead was a jewel, and her two sleeves were as long as the ground, and she flew out and floated in the air, without looking at Jiang Xiaorui, and went straight into the female corpse on the ground!

Jiang Xiaorui saw it clearly, and danced like a fool: "Great, great, Butterfly Dance will be able to meet me soon, Ling'er, Tianyu, have you seen it?" Do you see it? ”

Zhang Tianyu shook his head helplessly, only to see the fingers of the female corpse on the ground trembling a few times, her eyelashes trembling, she couldn't help but be shocked, and retreated to Zhong Ling's side: "Hey, master, you won't really live, right?" ”

"It's not that easy." Zhong Ling's chin was slightly raised, and he saw that the female corpse was like being electrocuted, her body was moving up and down, her upper body struggled to lift up, and she lost her strength as soon as she was halfway up, and the back of her head hit the ground and fell to the ground motionless.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xiaorui was disappointed: "Why can't you be resurrected?" ”

"Ever heard of belly clothes? This dress still has the smell of the deceased, and there are traces of the soul on the body, and it is not so easy for the new soul to occupy the body. Zhong Ling sat leisurely on the ground, clasping her hands in front of her chest: "Look at her own creation." ”

Jiang Xiaorui couldn't accept the fate of resignation, grabbed his hair irritably, suddenly looked up at the mural, and he said: "Look, the person in the painting is gone." ”

But no, the dancing girl who used to dance in the yurt disappeared, and now there was only a blank space, and even the color of the mural changed from dark to light.

"The Seven Star Soul Locking Array trapped the ghost of the dancing girl inside, and also let it be supported by a yin force." Zhong Ling said: "Now that this power has come out, it will naturally lose its effect, and they should also fade after thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow." ”

Zhang Tianyu stared at the murals: "The exquisite murals, the seven-star soul locking array, the artificially built steps, and the blind insects guarding the entrance of the cave, how to explain these, after your true destiny died, who did these things for her?" Big cousin, with all due respect, you don't seem to have any connection to this place, do you have any memories of this place? ”

"Nope." Jiang Xiaorui said truthfully: "If I knew, I would have found it a long time ago, but do you have to wait until now?" ”

"That's weird, why did I find you?"

"I've told you a few times, why don't you have a good memory at a young age." Jiang Xiaorui said: "Coincidentally, she looked around for someone to understand her situation, but it was such a coincidence, I went in, saw her, and couldn't talk at first, until not long ago, she and I could finally communicate face-to-face, just like in real life, she told me to come here to find her, and I came, just such a simple thing, you don't have too short brain circuits, make simple things complicated." ”

"I don't want to, big cousin." Zhang Tianyu patted his head and said: "It's a pity, there is a corpse of unknown origin outside, and the timing of its appearance is the same as the time of your arrival, it is difficult not to reverie." ”

Jiang Xiaorui snorted, turned his head to look at the female corpse, and when his fingers touched the back of the other party's hand, he was startled and said, "Ah, it's warm, Ling'er, come and take a look." ”

Zhong Ling walked over, opened the corpse's eyelids, and checked his tongue again: "Stop the process of corruption, as for the temperature, it is far from reaching the surface temperature of the human body now, it is early." ”

Another basin of cold water was poured down, Jiang Xiaorui adjusted his glasses unhappily, and said: "Do you think I'm quite weird now, think I'm not close to common sense, and now I'm watching my jokes, right?" ”

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Zhong Ling said: "Everyone cares about you before you come, and besides, you said on the phone that you found that the professor was missing, how did you get here after that?" You didn't take the initiative to mention it. ”

At that time, there were clearly other people's screams on the phone, Jiang Xiaorui was stunned: "What phone, what screams, by the way, how did you get here?" ”

Zhang Tianyu was dumbfounded: "Big cousin......"

Jiang Xiaorui didn't look panicked, Zhang Tianyu's fists were clenched together, obviously, the eldest cousin forgot some things, such as after he looked for the professor, before he came here, the memory in the middle disappeared.

Taking advantage of Jiang Xiaorui's attention to the changes in the female corpse, Zhang Tianyu stepped aside and said softly: "Master, I have an idea, your brother may have bumped into the process of how the first corpse turns others into corpses, he was panicked at the time, and there was more than one scream on the phone. ”

"I think so too." Zhong Ling agreed, looked back at Jiang Xiaorui, and said coldly: "Brother, where is your mobile phone?" ”

"Hand, phone?" Jiang Xiaorui groped up and down, looked puzzled, and stood up suddenly: "Oh no, my phone is gone!" ”

At a glance, Jiang Xiaorui didn't remember that he had called, let alone where he lost his phone.

Jiang Xiaorui had a splitting headache, holding his head and crying without tears: "What about the mobile phone I just bought." ”

"Brother, now is not the time to feel sorry for your phone, do you remember where you lost it?" Zhong Ling inspired: "Didn't you just come down from the heavenly burial platform opposite before entering this cave? ”

"Yes, I'm going to find the professor...... Jiang Xiaorui hesitated: "Then, I, sister, I really can't remember, how I came in the first time, I don't remember it, don't force me anymore." ”

"Smack." The corpse on the ground suddenly sat up suddenly, and then fell down weakly again, and its stiff body fell to the ground like a stone, which made Jiang Xiaorui feel distressed, and stepped forward to hug her head: "Does it hurt?" ”
