Chapter 52: A Hundred Years of Corruption
Before I came in, I knew that this cave was called the Cave of the Dead, and it was the place where those Miao people performed the cave burial ceremony more than a hundred years ago, so I also guessed that there would definitely be bones and coffins in it, but what I didn't expect was that the scene I saw in front of me was even more terrifying than I imagined.
The cave was about the size of a basketball court, and was surrounded by black rock walls, on which there were some black liquids dripping down.
The whole ground looked very damp, and there were some black pools everywhere, and here there were coffins with all kinds of holes, and the one that my cousin was burning with was a piece of coffin wood.
Not only that, but the coffins were all red, because of the age, a lot of the wood had dried and rotted, but you could still faintly see some strange runes carved on the wood.
If there is a coffin, there will naturally be bones, but the strange thing is that from the inside of the cave to the outside, there are indeed dozens of miserable white bones densely packed in the innermost, but when it comes to the position close to us, there are no white bones, but instead of rotting corpses of varying degrees of decay.
Finally, at the entrance of our cave, there were very few rotting corpses, but four big red coffins were neatly placed, and those coffins did not show much signs of decay, and when my cousin opened one of the coffins and walked in, I saw an even more incredible scene.
Inside this big red coffin, there is a corpse of a Miao woman, a hundred years have passed, this corpse has not completely decomposed, as if it has only been dead for a month or two, and I can even see her appearance and expression vaguely.
The corpse's expression looked very hideous, and there was endless horror mixed in the hideousness.
Not only that, but the posture of this corpse is also very terrifying, her posture does not look irregular at all, her hands are not flat on the sides, but her five fingers are in the shape of chicken claws, making a strange movement.
My cousin hurriedly put the torch close to the coffin wall on the inside of the coffin, and soon we found that there were dense scratches on the coffin wall.
These scratches on the wall of the coffin were scratched by the woman inside the coffin, that is, the woman did not die at all when she was put into the coffin and sent to the cave of the dead.
At this time, we noticed that not only the woman in the coffin, but also the rotting corpses and bones in the back, they were all very similar to the woman, and their hands were in the shape of chicken claws, as if they were grabbing the coffin wall before they died.
Seeing this strange scene, my heart also became extremely nervous, and I hurriedly asked my cousin what was going on.
The cousin frowned and replied: "The yin qi in this cave is extremely heavy, and the water droplets that seep down from the surrounding rock walls, as well as these puddles on the ground, are all yin qi condensed into water droplets, and this cave of the dead is a place to raise corpses. ”
As he spoke, my cousin glanced at the rotting corpses and bones here, and said, "Since more than six hundred years ago, the Miao people here have begun to carry out this kind of cave burial ceremony, but because this is a place to raise corpses, the degree of decay of the corpses here is much slower than in other places, so these red coffins placed on the outermost part should be the last batch sent in a hundred years ago, so until now, the corpses in here have not shown too much decay." ”
Speaking of this, the cousin's brows furrowed even tighter: "The corpse will not rot for a hundred years, how strong the yin qi must be to be able to do this, and these people are all living people before they are sent in, that is to say, they are all nailed into these red coffins alive, and then die in despair and struggle in this coffin, after this death, there will definitely be huge resentment." ”
As he spoke, my cousin gently stroked the walls of these red coffins with his hand, and there were strange runes engraved everywhere, and I didn't know what these runes were doing.
"That's not right."
The cousin stood up straight, took the torch and walked around the cave again: "The yin qi in this is extremely strong, but if these people are all sent in alive, and the resentment will not go away after death, they will definitely become quite powerful ghosts, but why, there are so many corpses in this cave, but I haven't even seen a single ghost?" ”
Immediately afterwards, my cousin walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the other undead caves on the cliff: "Every undead cave outside here should be similar to the situation in this cave, for more than six hundred years, there must have been tens of thousands of Miao people who were sent into this cave of the dead, so many undead, such a thick yin qi, why, the ghosts in it, but all disappeared." ”
In the face of such a strange scene, I also felt a thick haze in my heart, and with what I know about this so-called ghost now, it is impossible to understand what this is all about.
"The cave burial customs of this Miao people are really terrible, is it a little too inhumane to carry out cave burials for living people?" I muttered a sentence and asked, "Cave burial is not the only one in Miao customs, and cave burials in other places are also this custom?" ”
"It's not a custom, it's supposed to be a sacrifice." The cousin replied thoughtfully: "In the cave burials in other places, the people who are sent to the cave must be dead, but this Miao Village has practiced living sacrifice, and it has lasted for more than 600 years, what do they want to do?" ”
"Could it have something to do with the Heavenly Burial Cave?"
"It definitely has a relationship."
The cousin replied categorically: "All the secrets in this may only be solved by entering the Heavenly Burial Cave." ”
As he spoke, my cousin turned around and walked into the cave again: "I already know what the medicine used by Uncle Fu to restore your appearance back then was." ”
"What is it?" I asked hurriedly.
The cousin did not answer, but went to the red coffin containing the female corpse, only to see the cousin chanting a few incantations in front of the female corpse, and then bowed to her very respectfully.
Seeing this, I was stunned and asked my cousin what he was doing.
At this time, the female corpse rolled twice on the ground and then rolled to my feet, the same shape as the carrion I was holding when I came in, and it was clear that the carrion I was holding before had also been lifted from the coffin.
When I was still looking at this corpse and was stunned, my cousin over there said faintly: "Don't be stunned, the previous rotting corpse was rolled out of the coffin by Uncle Fu more than ten years ago." ”
As he spoke, his cousin had already squatted down, and then took the torch on the coffin board, and a hint of joy appeared in his tone: "Sure enough, all the plants outside here have turned black, because of the countless rich yin qi around here, and everyone in this is suffocated alive in the coffin, which is equivalent to dying of death, so their own longevity has not been used up." ”
"What do you mean?"
I also hurriedly walked over to my cousin, and saw that on the coffin, there were some mushroom-like plants, which were all inky black, and even revealed a trace of black on the surface.
"What is this?" I asked hurriedly.
"Cadaver." The cousin replied, then reached out and removed one of the corpse fungi from the coffin board, explaining, "This kind of thing has always existed in legends, because it is almost impossible to have an environment in which it grows. ”
"What kind of environment is needed?"
"The first is the corpse raising ground, which requires extremely strong yin qi, the second is resentful wood, that is, the coffin board that has penetrated with extremely strong resentment, and the third is the life soul longevity, a large number of life soul longevity yuan!"
"Generally, the corpse raising place is already a very rare place, even if there is, there must not be so many resentful trees, even if the first two have met the conditions, but a large number of life soul longevity yuan, it is impossible to achieve the conditions, because the life soul longevity has a cultivation effect on ghosts, once there is a grievance, there must be a strong ghost, there are strong ghosts, it will definitely absorb a large number of these life soul longevity yuan, therefore, even if it is a mass grave during the war years, it is impossible to meet these three conditions and grow corpse fungi."
Speaking of this, my cousin took a deep breath and said, "But in this Cave of the Dead behind the Heavenly Burial Mountain, what did those Miao people do here more than a hundred years ago, all three conditions were met. ”
