Chapter 2: The Terrible Marriage Customs
Seeing the second uncle like this, I knew that he must have seen something. So, he quietly asked him, "Second uncle, do you see anything again?" β
The second uncle looked at me and said, "Didn't you notice that these houses are facing in the wrong direction?" β
After being reminded by my second uncle, I finally understood that something was wrong. That's right! It's the orientation of the house!
The vast majority of our people in China live in a north-facing orientation. There are also some that sit west facing east, or sit east facing west. However, there are very few people who choose to sit in the south and face north. First, this is not in line with Feng Shui, and secondly, because of the orientation, there is no sunlight in the house at all. All the sunlight will be blocked out, and the inside of the house will be dark and damp. The yang energy will pass quickly!
Yang is weak and yin is strong!
The human body living in this environment is weak and sickly, and it is easy to provoke some unclean things.
What's more, I also saw a mirror hanging on the faΓ§ade at the back of each house. These mirrors come in a variety of shapes, large and small. This makes me a little confused. Could it be that this is some kind of feng shui layout?
So, I couldn't help but tell my second uncle what I thought in my heart.
The second uncle's explanation shocked me very much! The reason why they hung a mirror on the outer wall was because they wanted to refract all the sunlight that shone through them, so that no yang could enter their dwelling.
Speaking of this, the second uncle paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "The two leading stones at the entrance of the village keep absorbing yin qi into the village, and there is still a trace of yang qi in the village. There is only one case! That's what they're raising ghosts! β
"Raising ghosts?"
Hearing the words of the second uncle, I was taken aback!
was about to ask again, but was interrupted by the second uncle: "Okay, don't say it again." Let's see if there are people in the village! β
Hearing the second uncle say this, I realized that the whole village is not small. However, there was no sound at all! It feels like a deserted village!
I walked to the door of a house and knocked on the door. "Is there anyone please?" β
No one answered my words. It's still quiet all around!
I knocked on the door again and the result was the same!
I was going to push the door open. However, the door was chained and could not be opened. I could barely push the door open a small crack. Then, leaning on the door panel and staring inside.
The light inside the room was so dim! Something a little farther away is not visible at all.
Just as I was intently looking at the furnishings in the room, suddenly, a miserable white face suddenly appeared in front of my eyes! If it weren't for the door panel, I'm afraid that face would have been on my face!
I was taken aback! couldn't help but exclaim, and sat on the ground.
The face was still staring at me through the crack in the door. Then he asked coldly, "What do you do?" β
Hearing him speak, I wasn't so scared! After all, it shows that he is a person, not a ghost!
I got up from the ground and said politely, "We're traveling to the neighborhood, aren't we a little tired, and want to take a rest here!" I wonder if you can let us in? β
No sooner had I finished my sentence than the man in the room immediately said in a heart-rending voice, "Get out of here quickly!" The people of this village are dead, there is no one left! β
After saying this, the wooden door was closed with a "clang".
I was taken aback! Then he glanced at the second uncle inexplicably, not understanding what that person's words meant. All the people in the village are dead? So what's going on with him? Isn't he human?
The second uncle didn't say anything, but looked at the surrounding situation. He said to me, "Lin Shuo, let's look for it separately and see if there are any other people here?" β
I nodded, and then turned to leave. However, it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't know how to contact for a while. I was going to go back and ask the second uncle. However, as soon as I turned around, I found that the second uncle had disappeared at this time! It's as if it disappeared out of thin air! I didn't even hear the slightest sound of footsteps!
I don't know why the second uncle has become so mysterious after coming to this village!
I adjusted my mood for a moment, then turned and walked in the other direction of the village. This village is so weird! It's obviously broad daylight. However, every house is closed. He also tied iron chains to the doors and windows of his house.
The whole village was dead silent! The only thing I could hear was my footsteps. I feel more and more that something is wrong with this village!
If you think about it, I've been walking around the village for so long, not to mention people, and I haven't seen a single bird. Could it be that this village is really a dead village?
With this terrible thought, I couldn't help but start walking back the way I came, and decided to find the second uncle first.
As I walked, I suddenly had the feeling of being watched. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at me somewhere around me. I can see that my scalp is numb! I don't feel comfortable all over my body!
I subconsciously glanced back. But there was nothing behind me.
I took a closer look at my surroundings, but I still didn't find anything. Am I scaring myself? But it's so real!
Something is wrong! Everything is so wrong here!
I couldn't help but quicken my pace. As I walked faster and faster, I heard two very different footsteps!
What's going on here? Is it an echo, or is there really something behind me?
At this time, I have a feeling of being on my back!
I pretended to be fine. Then, turn back suddenly! I'm going to catch the thing behind me off guard.
But there was still nothing behind me! That's weird! Could it be that the footsteps really just an echo? Everything was I too nervous about?
I breathed a sigh of relief and shook my head self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed that not far in front of me, a dark figure was standing there silently, not moving!
This is definitely not my shadow! The angle should be on a roof behind me.
When I saw this, my heart trembled! Then, hurriedly turn your head to look.
However, there was still no figure there. I turned my head to look at the shadow again, only to find that the shadow had also disappeared!
At the moment, although it is sunny. However, I felt a chill! A chill all over the body!
No way. This place definitely couldn't stay any longer! Otherwise, I'll go crazy!
Thinking of this, I ran without looking back. While running, he shouted loudly to the second uncle.
However, he never got a response from the second uncle! It's as if he doesn't exist!
I didn't know how far I had run, until I was out of breath and out of breath when I finally got out of the village. Back to the location at the entrance of the village!
However, at this moment, I suddenly noticed a team in front of me!
The team consisted of about a hundred people. All of them were dressed in ink-black cloaks. The big brim hangs low, so I can't see what they look like. At the head of the line were four burly men. The four big men worked together to carry a coffin as black as ink.
When I saw this coffin, my heart couldn't help but tremble! They were followed by a young man on a tall horse. On the chest of the young man and on the top of the horse's head were each a ball of flowers folded with black cloth.
In the middle of the team is a four-lift sedan chair. Overall, it feels like a marriage ceremony in ancient times. However, in ancient times, when getting married, they were all sedan chairs, or big red sedan chairs. The sedan chair I saw before me was pitch black! It was as if a huge black cloth had been tightly wrapped around the entire sedan chair from head to toe. There are no windows and no doors.
Seven black ropes were tied to the back of the sedan chair. The black rope was about three meters long, and at each end of the black rope was a rooster with bloody flesh and blood. The roosters were apparently killed. In some places, the bones have been misplaced. It looks particularly bloody!
The whole team was silent! There was no sound other than the sound of walking footsteps.
I couldn't help but be a little stunned! If these people in front of them are holding a wedding, the scene in front of them is more like a funeral! But if it's a funeral, then what's the deal with this palanquin?
Looking at the black and oppressive team in front of me, a trace of fear rose in my heart for no reason!
Just as I was trying to figure out what was going on, someone in the team spotted me. Then, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, it came to the middle.
The originally quiet team instantly became noisy! Some people even took off their black hats from their heads, revealing horrified expressions on their faces.
I don't know why they reacted this way when they saw me. Just as he was about to speak, at this time, an old man's hoarse voice came from inside the team: "What are you panicking about? Isn't it just an outsider? However, since he bumped into our ceremony, let's take him with us! β
As soon as the words fell, several black-robed people ran over and grabbed me deadly.
Their strength is immense! No matter how hard I struggled, there was no way to break free.
In this way, I was dragged by them and followed the back of the group.
To prevent me from talking, they also wrapped strips of cloth around my mouth.
What the hell is this place? Why is everything so unbelievable here? I'm starting to regret coming to such a place!
