Chapter 587: Jiang Ziya's Ancient Tomb

I looked at Sun Jingshui, thirty meters away, and he always had a smile on his face, not like a joke – and it shouldn't be.

Who would joke about what time in the morning, in this form?

Stupid will not.

"Grandpa Sun, you...... Just tell me, what do you want me to do? The question is what can I do? ”

You must know that the person standing opposite me, although he is an old man, is much stronger than me in terms of physical strength and intelligence, and it stands to reason that he can do what I can do, and he is not the only one in the Ink Maker Organization.

"Four thousand years ago, there was a virus that suddenly appeared in human beings, and when infected by this virus, the whole body would stiffen, and the whole person would become another species in a very short time, and later these sick people were named zombies......

At its peak, one in five human beings on this land was infected with the disease, which was another existential disaster for mankind.

At first, the Moji were helpless against the virus, but later found the seeds of an ancient plant in the mud of the Yellow River, and found that these seeds could restrain the virus, so the Moji used these seeds to breed a plant full of blood-red flowers, named Manzhu Sahua.

The Moji sprinkled the improved Manzhu Sawa seeds into the rivers and lakes, and then the plant grew in these places, and it only took 99 days for the Manju Sawa to bloom, and when the wind blew, the pollen was sprinkled into the water, and as long as you drank the water containing the Manzhu Sawa pollen, you could get rid of the virus.

Oddly enough, this flower can only bloom for one season, for nine days, and then quickly die.

In fact, it was enough to open a season, and in nine days, all the people who drank the water containing pollen returned to normal, and the corpses of those who died of poisoning never decomposed, and for fear that the corpses would be resurrected, or continue to infect the living, the tribal leaders at that time discussed and threw these non-decomposing corpses into the Yellow River.

Later, even if it wasn't for this kind of poisoning, many of them were sunk to the bottom, but in fact, the later behavior was just to imitate, and I don't know why humans did it in the first place.

This is the origin of water burial.

There are several forms of water burial:

The first is the drifting method.

That is, the dead body is placed in a specially made death boat, put into the rivers, lakes and seas, and let it drift naturally. Wherever you drift, there is a beautiful destination for the dead.

This method of water burial was mostly popular in several western provinces and cities a thousand years ago.

The second is the method of cutting up the corpse.

To put it simply, it is to carry the dead body to the river and dismember, throw it into the river, or wrap the body in a cloth and throw it into the river to worship the river god

This kind of burial style is more common in ancient China and now in Tibet, generally the economic conditions are poor, the dead can not afford to hire a lama to recite the sutra excessively, this method is mostly used for the deceased, in addition, this burial method is also used for the lonely widows and young children who died.

The Burmese Indilai people, who live in the lake area of Inle Lake, believe that the flesh born on the water must also return to the water after death.

Therefore, except for some residents who live near the mountains, other water families generally adopt the practice of burying themselves at the bottom of the lake after death.

Some countries in Southeast Asia have had rituals to worship river gods since ancient times, which also originated from this.

The third type is the ash scattering type.

The cremated ashes are scattered into rivers, lakes and seas.

In some cities in southern China, such as Hangzhou and Guangzhou, more and more people have adopted this type of burial method in recent years.

This is the product of the funeral reform in recent years, and it can be regarded as an extension of the ancient water burial law!

Water burials are now available in a variety of forms, and most parts of the country no longer allow them, but in the beginning, they simply wanted to throw the body into the water and let him sink into the mud at the bottom, so as to restrain the body with the mud containing the manju sawa pollen and prevent the virus from recurring.

In fact, the ink artist also knew that not all the people who were infected with the virus at that time died, at least dozens of them survived, probably because the virus in this part of the human body mutated.

But it's only a very small number of people, so it doesn't matter

Later, there was also alchemy, because some people discovered that people who were infected with the virus could do things that ordinary people could not do.

At that time, in order to prevent the resurgence of the virus, the head of the ink man preserved the remaining seeds of Manju Sahua, and it has been preserved by successive generations.

Until the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the head of the ink master at that time was a very powerful person - Jiang Ziya.

There is a story of the "God List" in history, and this Jiang Ziya is the person responsible for formulating the God List - of course, to this day, Jiang Ziya's deeds have been deified, if you think about it, why is he deified? There must be a reason for this.

In history, the real Jiang Ziya was the minister of the humerus who assisted King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty, and was later sealed in Shandong and established the State of Qi, that is to say, he was the founding emperor of the State of Qi.

At that time, a major event occurred within the Ink Scholar, causing Jiang Ziya to have to bring all the seeds of Manzhu Sawa into his ancient tomb before he died.

Jiang Ziya is the master of the ink man, proficient in all kinds of yin and yang techniques, or a master of public opinion and a person who is proficient in witchcraft, because of the internal changes of the ink man, Jiang Ziya spent twenty years building an ancient tomb for himself, which has many mechanisms, not to mention ordinary tomb robbers, even the members of the ink can not enter.

Jiang Ziya was ready to bring the seeds to his ancient tomb, but he actually kept a hand - he was worried that after many years, this virus would reappear in the world, so after he refined the ancient tomb, he also left a last word, only some kind of qualified person can enter his tomb smoothly, and can get the seeds and come out alive.

Of course, at this moment, I already understand that I am one of those people who meet this condition.

After Sun Jing told these things quietly, I basically understood it, but I was shocked in my heart, and I even felt that the whole world had become very strange.

The truth of history turned out to be like this!

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

"That'...... Where is Jiang Ziya's tomb? ”

There was silence for three minutes, and it was I who broke it.

Before I spoke, I was ready to hear any strange answers, even if he told me that the tomb was under the Yellow River, on the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, or on the highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains...... I wouldn't find it strange.

What I didn't expect, where he said, still shocked me, and my first reaction was: How is this possible!
