Chapter 245: The Mysterious Hanging Coffin Burial System
"What is the red coffin into the earth, feng shui sky, and the black coffin is buried in peace." Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard this, and Tianyou asked even more puzzled.
Zhou Fan glanced at everyone and said: "This is the custom of some ancient villages in Guizhou, and it is rare to see it now, but I didn't expect to see this kind of burial here, which is a kind of group burial, also known as yin and yang burial."
The reason why it is a group burial is because they only have one tomb is this cliff, and the dead are buried on this cliff, so it is called a group burial, and the reason why it is called a yin and yang burial is that all the people in the coffins on this cliff are women....
"What's all female?"
"yes, what's wrong." Zhou Fan was just halfway through his words, Qing'er exclaimed, but soon she realized that she was rude, covered her mouth and lowered her head a little badly, Zhou Fan saw this and immediately stepped forward to take her hand, and saw Qing'er shaking his head slightly at him before continuing: "In ancient times, Guizhou was also dominated by ethnic minorities.
Although the Han people gradually migrated over later, some ancient villages still retained this custom, and the black coffin was hung because all the women were buried inside.
In ancient times, Guizhou people felt that women were not suitable for burial, one was that it would affect the local feng shui, the second was that it would bring bad luck to the family, and the third was that women were yin by nature, and they should know that the ancient customs were very superstitious, especially in some ancient villages or places.
So those places will bury the dead women on the cliff with a special hanging burial, the coffin is still made of special gloomy wood, this kind of wood will not rot for hundreds of years or thousands of years, the black coffin hangs in the middle of the cliff, there is enough sunlight during the day, even if the person in the coffin is unjustly killed, it is impossible to turn into a ghost and come out to harm people.
The reason why it is called is a yin and yang burial, it is to separate men and women, and bury those people with different burial systems, the red coffin is buried with men, which is the so-called, the red coffin is buried in the earth, feng shui Tian'an, and the black coffin is buried with women, which is the black coffin hanging burial to escape the world and peace.
Those men who are buried are not as particular as women, as long as the coffin is in the ground, those ethnic minorities used to be the most patriarchal, so once the man dies, he will be buried, but with a big red coffin.
This is also called red coffin burial, and there are still some small ethnic groups in Guizhou who are practicing the burial system of red coffin burial, but the burial system of black coffin hanging burial has rarely appeared.
Now there will be some intellectuals in that village, even if they abide by the rules of the ancients, they will be afraid of trouble so they will change the rules, which is why there is only a red coffin burial system in Guizhou now, and the black coffin burial has almost disappeared.
As far as I know, this kind of burial system was almost abolished a hundred years ago, and I have never seen a black coffin hanging burial myself, so I was very surprised that I didn't expect to see the legendary black coffin hanging burial here, look at the scale of this cliff coffin, the hanging coffin history here is at least more than a thousand years. ”
"Millennium? Are you sure, if that were the case, wouldn't it be that the entire cliff of the mountain on the other side would be a coffin. After listening to Zhou Fan's words, Zimeng immediately felt a chill, he thought that now his group felt extremely disgusting in the face of thousands of coffins, and he felt an inexplicable fear.
Under Zhou Fan's signal, a group of people slowly walked out of the mountain col, and gradually walked out of the valley from the mountain stream, "At least." At this time, Zhou Fan was already standing outside the valley.
Looking at the towering mountain, his expression was a little solemn: "The lowest layer of the hanging coffin is on the cliff of about 30 meters, and I just now visually inspected it, and the coffin at the bottom has nearly 100 coffins."
I don't count the height of this mountain, according to the ability of the ancients to climb at least 100 meters high, take the first coffin is also 100 meters above the cliff, no matter how high it is estimated that the ancients will not be able to go up, if you calculate it this way, with 100 meters as the benchmark and ten meters as the interval, place a layer of coffins, and a layer of 100 coffins.
In this way, there are at least 10,000 coffins here, which is still calculated according to my speculation, you must know that the wisdom of the ancients is not something we can figure out, and I don't know how high they can build, but I guess according to my ideas,
I only counted it in thousands of years because I saw that the style of the coffin with several layers on it was from the Tang Dynasty, so I estimate that it is at least a thousand years old, and further up it is shrouded in fog.
I can't see clearly, it's hard to say how many coffins there are, and this mysterious burial system is the most rule-oriented, and the coffins must be buried in strict accordance with the arrangement of the ancients, and the arrangement of the coffins will also be counted from the first coffin layer after layer.
It means that the prosperity of generations and grandchildren is that if the first coffin of those ancients is suspended on the cliff of a kilometer, then the people of later generations can only be buried according to their specifications, ten meters for a layer, and a layer into a hundred coffins.
But at that scale, it's even more terrifying here. After saying that, Zhou Fan didn't dare to stay in such an extremely gloomy place, this valley was obviously a three-yin Jedi, and it was the same terrain as the mountains behind the Liancheng Mountain Range in the ancient city.
This kind of place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is no sunlight all year round, and only the noon sun can shine in a day, and he now doesn't know why those ancients chose this place as the place where the black coffin is buried.
Aren't they worried that the corpse of the coffin will have a grudge and turn its soul into a ghost? But why do you want to bury people in such a gloomy place, Zhou Fan felt shocked at the same time, and at the same time, he had a deep doubt in his heart.
"I see, I wanted to spend the night here, but now that I think about it, forget it, I don't want to stay with thousands of corpses, but it's already night.
There is no store in front of the village, how can we go there to spend the night, it will definitely be dangerous to walk at night, what should we do now? Zimeng listened to Zhou Fan's explanation again, and didn't want to stay here, saying that he was asking Zhou Fan's opinion, but he had already taken steps without thinking about it, and walked far ahead.
"This guy." Seeing this, Zhou Fan had no choice but to make a good head, it was impossible for him to let Zimeng go alone, so he pulled Qing'er and gave Tianyou a few people a look and followed, "Let's leave here first."
But in any case, at least one thing is certain, there should be a village not far from here, but I don't know if the people of those villages will let us stay overnight. ”
"How can there be a village in such a remote place? And it seems that this is still at the intersection of the three provinces? Lu Tianyuan looked at some of the mountains in front of him and seemed to have a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
Zhou Fan didn't know why, after coming out of the Netherworld Mansion, not only did his vision improve a lot, but his ears could also hear it a lot sharper, and when he heard Lu Tianyuan on the side, he immediately asked, "What did you just say?" Is this the meeting place of the three provinces? Are you sure? ”
"Okay, don't you want to leave this place yet, why don't you hurry up, it's dark now, there will definitely be talented wolves, tigers and leopards in this kind of place, and this place can't stay for a long time."
It's better to spend the night anywhere than here. Feng Long saw that the two of them stopped, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, at this time, he was still thinking about what kind of place this was, he really wanted to give Zhou Fan a kick, but when he saw his solemn face, he had to give up.
