Chapter 54: A Hundred Years Ago
"How could it be a hundred years ago?"
I felt a little dumbfounded, after all, this kind of thing that goes against natural common sense is indeed a bit too unbelievable, but whether my speculation is correct or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that these Miao people actually carried the big red coffin at this time and walked up to the undead cave where I am now.
On top of this cliff, hundreds of undead caves have been dug neatly, and the place I am in at this time belongs to the lowest layer, only seven or eight meters from the ground.
However, even with such a small height, it is difficult for me to imagine how these Miao people sent this big red coffin to the cave of the dead a hundred years ago, without modern machinery and equipment.
Just as I was still thinking about it, several figures suddenly appeared next to me.
I was startled, and when I looked closely, I found that there were several strong Miao men squatting next to me, each of them holding a rope in their hands, one end of which was fixed to several wooden stakes, and the other end was thrown out of the cave.
I quickly regained my composure, and by this time I was completely sure that this was the scene from a hundred years ago, and that the red coffin contained the same female corpse I had seen earlier.
The strange thing is that at this time, I can only hear the mantra singing from the priest's mouth outside, and I can't hear anything else, and these strong men are next to me, as if they are watching a silent 3D projection.
They were shouting something after throwing the rope underneath, but I could only see the shape of their mouths.
The person below fixed the big red coffin to the rope, and then the person above began to pull it up hard, and after a while, the coffin was pulled into the cave of the dead.
At the same time, there were more than a hundred people below, all of them standing below and not moving, only the two wizards in strange costumes climbed up along the other two ropes.
Soon, these people placed the lipstick coffin on the open space in the cave of the dead, just in a row with the three lipstick halls next to it.
Then the two wizards sang and danced in the cave with torches, chanting the mantra that sounded very good, and the group tossed here for about half an hour, and then everyone climbed down the ropes.
The cave of the dead returned to its previous dimness, and only the pale moonlight shone in from the outside, making this already extremely gloomy cave even more penetrating.
There was a dead silence in the cave, and I stared at the red coffin for a long time, when I was still in a daze, and a dull thud suddenly came from the coffin.
The sound was like a hammer, constantly hitting my heart, I suddenly became vigilant, holding the dragon sword and slowly approaching the coffin, the more I entered, the clearer the sound of the coffin became.
Eventually, the sound grew louder and more urgent, and soon it filled the entire cave, and I could even hear it echoing clearly.
I felt a faint tingling in my scalp, but I finally mustered up the courage to pat it on the coffin.
"Hey." Perhaps to strengthen my courage, or perhaps to get a response from the man in the coffin, I screamed loudly, but when I opened my mouth, I realized that I was as if I was dumb, and I couldn't make any sound in my mouth at all.
I instinctively tried to push the lid open, but it soon dawned on me that the lid had been sealed with iron nails, and it seemed difficult for me to open it on my own.
Strangely, when I put my hand on the lid and tried to try it, I didn't push it to the side.
Inside the coffin, there was a Miao woman wearing Miao funeral clothes, about early thirties, and very beautiful, seeing her face, I was almost sure that this woman was the hundred-year-old female corpse that my cousin and I just saw in the lipstick coffin a hundred years later.
The expression on the woman's face was terrified, and she opened her mouth as if she was screaming, but I couldn't make out the slightest sound from her mouth.
Strangely, even though I had lifted the lid of the coffin, the woman's palm was still pounding on it, and she looked as if it was pounding in the air, but I could still hear the thump.
In other words, the lid of this coffin was not actually opened by me, and more than a hundred years ago, this woman was nailed to this big red coffin alive, and then was sent to this cave of the dead by those Miao people to be buried alive.
What kind of custom is this, why is it so vicious, and what do those Miao people want to do?
I stared intently at the woman in the coffin, and from this angle, I could even clearly see every look on her face, and I could deeply understand her despair and pain at that time.
The woman slapped in this coffin for more than ten minutes, until finally her beautiful face was full of horror and despair, and seeing that it was useless to pat for help, the woman seemed to give up.
Her expression of despair began to grow terrifying, and a strong resentment filled her entire face without reservation, and eventually, the woman could only use her fingernails to keep sliding over the inner wall of the coffin, and in a piercing screech, the coffin wall was scratched by her countless scratches.
I took a deep breath and witnessed the woman being suffocated to death in this despair and pain, and after her death she had a hideous expression and did not blink to death, while the hands were always in the posture of scratching the wall of the coffin with their fingernails.
Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but feel diaphragm in my heart, behind this huge Heavenly Burial Mountain, on a large cliff, there were more than 100 dead caves, and there were dozens or hundreds of corpses in each dead cave, for a total of more than 600 years, and the total number of these corpses added up to tens of thousands.
With so many people, it is possible that they were all suffocated to death in such a big red coffin before their deaths, why do these Miao people do this? If they say that they are just following a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation in this Miao Village, then all this is too incredible and crazy to think about.
When I was still thinking nonsense, I suddenly felt that my shoulder was slapped heavily by someone, and then my cousin's voice came from my ears: "Ye Nan, wake up!" ”
"Cousin."
I trembled slightly, and subconsciously opened my eyes, and found that my cousin was standing in front of me with a coffin board, and the surroundings were still very dim, and the scene from a hundred years ago just now disappeared in front of my eyes.
I looked next to my cousin, and I saw the big red coffin that had been overturned by my cousin, and the woman's rotting corpse was still facing hideously.
"It turned out to be just a dream." I frowned and said to myself.
"What did you dream about?" Seeing my abnormal appearance, my cousin immediately asked.
"I dreamed of a scene from a hundred years ago." I truthfully told my cousin about the dream I just had: "I dreamed that a hundred years ago, this woman was sent to this cave of the dead by those Miao and wizards to be buried alive. ”
"Sure enough, it's a human sacrifice."
My cousin muttered, and didn't say much, but handed the coffin board in his hand to me: "Drink it." ”
I took the coffin board from my cousin's hand, and I saw that my cousin had carved a palm-sized pit in the middle of the coffin board, and the pit contained some black, viscous liquid.
The liquid looked very disgusting, like the viscous sewage discharged from the stinky gutter, and there was a layer of hot black gas on the surface, and when I got closer, I could smell a very pungent smell, this smell was very bad that I had never smelled before.
"What is this?" I frowned, instinctively about to throw away this disgusting thing, but my cousin grabbed my arm and said, "This is the method I use the rejuvenation technique above, using corpse bacteria as medicine, plus the rejuvenation soup boiled by the spell wood for you, drinking it can restore your previous appearance." ”
