"Why refuse? Wasn't Yale a sharpshooter? ”

Soon, I realized how naïve my ideas were.

"Yes, Yale is the hero of our royal family, it is for this reason that Yale's grandfather insisted on going up the mountain by himself, he is already seventy years old, and he will live a few more years at most, and Yale is still young, so he can't let his life go in vain, and Yale is still the warrior of our royal family to resist the night demons, not only their family, but also our royal family, can't lose him, so ...... Alas! ”

"I see, Yale's grandfather was indeed a great grandfather, so where is his body now? I want to see it! ”

I nodded heavily, and then asked about Yale's grandfather's corpse, and I felt that since I had received the favor of the people here, the grace of dripping water, I should repay it as a spring, so I would help them destroy the night demon who had caused trouble to the people, but...... I don't have any clue at the moment, but for now, I have to examine Yale's grandfather's body first and see if I can find any clues.

"No!"

The old man waved his hand violently, stopped my words, and said very seriously: "Mr. Xiaojiu, you can't watch! ”

"Uh...... Why? ”

I wanted to help them, but I was rejected, what is the reason?

"No...... No, anyway, you better rest more, and when you get better, leave quickly......"

The old man hesitated for a while, but finally did not say any specific reason, but tried his best to prevaricate.

"Old man! Do the people of your village still want to be sucked to death by the night demon one by one?! ”

I immediately stopped the old man in a hurry and said bluntly.

"You...... Why do you talk like that! I just saved you! ”

The old man glared at me with some annoyance.

"It is because I am grateful to the old man for saving me, so I want to repay your village, believe in that ghost and demon, or our righteous sect will deal with him, old man, please believe me!"

For a moment, I felt that I was burdened with the responsibility of doing the way for the heavens and eliminating the demons, and I believe that when the master encounters this matter, he will also be duty-bound to take care of it.

"That's right!"

The old man suddenly patted his head, and looked me up and down happily, and said: "You just said that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain, but I know that there are many high-ranking scholars there, Mr. Xiaojiu, since you are from Longhu Mountain, presumably this is the opportunity of our Yu royal family, you ...... Can you really save our royal family from fire and water?! ”

"It is our duty to do our best!"

I settled down and said very solemnly.

Soon, I walked out of the house with the old man, surrounded by many villagers, I realized that the old man was actually the patriarch of this place, it was really unseemly, the sea was incomprehensible, and the two villagers came to ask the old patriarch for his opinion, on how to deal with Yale's grandfather's corpse.

According to the old patriarch along the way, the villagers who were killed by the night demon could not be brought back to the village, let alone entered the cemetery of the clan, that is, the hanging coffins on the mountain.

The servants believe in the eagle, eager to soar in the vast blue sky, the eagle tenaciously struggles, and the indomitable spirit of the phoenix nirvana is deeply admired by the servants, so the servants regard the eagle as their totem.

It is precisely because of the belief in the servants, the reverence for the eagle, and the desire for the blue sky, that they hope that after a hundred years of antiquity, they can be put into the arms of the blue sky and the eagle, so they chose the cliff burial, rather than the general burial, however, the cliff burial of the servants is different from the cliff burial in other regions, instead of directly placing the coffin in the steep cave, but digging several holes in the cliff, nailing a wooden stake, and placing the coffin on it, or placing one end of the coffin in the cliff, and the other end on the stake nailed to the cliff.

For their totem, the people of the Yu royal family are full of awe, bow and worship, prohibit killing, prohibit fishing, prohibit touching, especially prohibit women from approaching the totem, and are not allowed to call the name of the totem, the totem is dead to say that he is asleep, and to hold a grand funeral, there is a clear article in the family rules: hunting can not hunt eagles!

Many sacrifices, weddings and funerals and other occasions have to tie an eagle pattern with straw, and the hanging coffin head should be nailed with an ornament made of a wooden board that symbolizes the eagle's wings and flying, which is called "flame board" by the folk, which is used to suppress evil demons and monsters, and can shine auspiciously.

In addition, in addition to the belief in the eagle, there are some other objects of worship, such as the worship of the gods of heaven, earth, mountains, rocks, and rivers, and the worship of the sun and the moon, which is also quite pious, they call the sun "Donghuang Taiyi Jun", call the moon "Flower Stamen Fairy", say that the sun and the moon are two husbands and wives, the sun is the husband, the moon is the wife, the sun is on duty during the day, the moon is on duty at night, it is difficult to get together, only the fifteenth and thirty-two days of each month can have a short reunion, For thousands of years, they have given birth to many little stars, and the sky is full of them, and if there is a woman in any family who has no children for a while, she will worship the moon at midnight on the fifteenth and thirty-second days of the month on a sunny day, and pray for the moon to give her the power to give birth.

There is also a strange legend about the mystery of the hanging coffin...... A long, long time ago, there was a place called Matangba, where many people from the Yu royal family lived.

One day, when an old man with the surname Ah died, the Ah family went to ask the feng shui master to come and see the place where the old man was buried, and the feng shui master went around in Matang Dam, and finally pointed to a steep rock and said to the people of the Ah family: "There is a white rock here, you should make a coffin out of a whole piece of wood, put the dead old man in this coffin, and then bury it on this white rock, and your descendants of the A family will definitely be prosperous and rich." ”

According to what the feng shui master said, Ah Jia made a coffin out of a whole piece of wood, and went to invite a stonemason to make a hole in the white rock, which was high and steep, how to hit it? After thinking about it, the only way to do this was to use the winch that Zhuge Liang taught them to use in battle under the rocks, set up a high platform on the winch, and let the stonemasons stand on the high platform and make holes. Matangba finally made two holes in the rock, so he stuffed two thick logs into the holes, and then used a winch to hang the coffin and lay it horizontally on the two thick logs.

Since then, the people of the royal family have learned to hang the coffin burial, and after the death of the person, they all practice the hanging coffin burial.

In the future, the A family really developed, becoming the most powerful tribe in the Yu royal family, until the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the three brothers and sisters of the A family became dominant, rebelled, and called the king of Jianguo in Sichuan Jiusi City.

When the three brothers and sisters of the A family rebelled, the power of the A family was very strong, at that time, there was a person named Luo Ying Xiucai, who knew the five elements of yin and yang, and could look at feng shui, Luo Yingxiucai's family was a large landowner, and his family's grain, gold and silver property, etc., had been forcibly requisitioned by the rebellious Yu royal people. In order to take revenge on the A family, he went to the A family and said: "In Washi Village, Chang'an Township, Weixin County, Yunnan, there is a place called Broken Well Mountain, and there is a white rock opposite Broken Well Mountain, called White Tiger Rock. If you take down the coffin of Matangba, transport it to Weixin, and hang it on the White Tiger Rock, your family will be more developed and powerful, and the entire Yunnan and Sichuan provinces will become the world of your family! ”

After listening to Luo Yingxiucai's words, the Ah family believed it and happily took down seven coffins from Matang Dam and transported them to Weixin Tile Stone, and also transported two winches to hang the coffins. According to what Luo Yingxiucai said, the Ah family hung seven coffins on the White Tiger Rock in Washi Village, and the hanging method was exactly the same as that of Luobiao Matang Dam.

But soon after, the three brothers and sisters of the A family were defeated and killed, and the A family completely collapsed, after the death of the three brothers and sisters of the A family, the court continued to encircle and suppress those who fled into the deep mountains and old forests, especially the surname A among the people of the Yu family, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were killed.

Under the suppression of this bloody massacre, the people of the Yu royal family surnamed A were incognito, and the word "阝" was changed to "亻" next to it, and all of them were changed to the surname He. In this way, the hanging coffins of the royal family of Weixin tile stone are also called: "He family hanging rocks".

After the royal family was surrounded and suppressed, no one went to the tile stone to hang the coffin, many years later, the seven coffins collapsed four after another, it is said that in those coffins that fell, there were gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other valuable burial goods.

At that time, some greedy people went to fight for the burial goods, but whoever got their hands on them, these treasures would pierce his eyes with unbearable pain, and his eyes would become pitch black, like a blind man. The strange thing is that as soon as you abandon the treasure in your hand, the pain in your eyes will disappear, and your eyes will still be bright. As a result, no one dared to ask for those treasures, and they were all thrown into the deep mountains and valleys.

And the village here is the Washi Village of the year, but the people here are very taboo to mention the name, especially the old patriarch, I still don't know his name, however, what kind of legend is it, I don't know, but the burial method of the hanging coffin is a must here!

About the hanging coffin burial method, it is said that the higher the burial, the more respected its identity is, to the next time, "Yunnan Zhiluo" cloud: the hanging coffin burial, the higher the hanging, the more auspicious, to the first to fall for the auspicious.

Of course, no matter which one is said, it represents the Yu royal family's yearning for a better life, but the current night demon is to make the Yu royal family, which has been calm for thousands of years, make waves again!

A sturdy young man, carrying a sharp arrow on his back, suddenly flashed in front of me, looking at his eyes like beasts, it is not difficult to imagine that the people of the Yu royal clan here are indeed heroic and fierce characters, and their eyes are enough to shock many living beings.

"Mr. Xiaojiu, he is Yale, the warrior of our royal family!"

The old patriarch looked proudly at the sturdy young man and introduced him.

"Hello!"

I smiled lightly and saluted Yale with a fist.

“…… Wrench! ”

Suddenly, Yale solemnly made a special salute to me, and although I could not understand his words, let alone understand his etiquette, it was clear that this simple man was communicating with me in his own way.

"Huh! Yale is a strong man, he has never praised others, Mr. Xiaojiu, you are the first person he praised! ”

The old patriarch smiled and explained to me, I realized that Yale's words just now were praising me for having a way, and it was not difficult to think that his grandfather's corpse could not be brought into the village, and it was mutilated by the night demon and regarded as bad luck, lest it bring disaster to the village, but under my left and right, the old patriarch made an exception.

After a long time, we finally came to a desolate area, far from the village, but that was not the point, the point was that the clearing was a pile of rotten flesh with a corpse......
