These questions are not clear even to the well-informed Su Lao Ghost, and Wang Ziming, who has studied this aspect.

It's not that everyone's curiosity is strong, but the more weird, unpredictable, and unknown things are, the more important it should be for explorers, otherwise they may encounter unimaginable dangers in the face of the unknown.

"Brother Wang, tell me, is this kind of tree burial we see now a very common tree burial method? Or is it more offbeat and special? After Bai Yunfei heard Wang Ziming's introduction just now, he also had ambiguities in his heart and wanted to know more deeply.

"To be honest, the form of tree burial we see in front of us is something I have never heard of, but it was just now that I saw the corpse in the first tree, I judged that this is a form of tree burial, maybe in ancient times, this is not a tree burial at all, maybe, we modern people, if we want to comprehensively and carefully grasp the ancient things, it is impossible, even those who archaeology and exploration may not be able to completely restore the whole picture of ancient history."

Although Wang Ziming sometimes speaks bluntly and coldly, he basically does not tell lies, so Bai Yunfei has always believed in his words.

"If it's not a tree burial, then what's it for, can you see it?" Bai Yunfei is very persistent in this problem, because it may be related to everyone's life and death, after all, in addition to a few of them, in the ghost forest, there are other people who are waiting for their pathfinder results, if these unknown problems are not clarified, then what will everyone face if they venture rashly, not only is it particularly knowable, but the danger is simply uncontrollable.

Therefore, in Bai Yunfei's heart, there will be very big worries and concerns, you must know that in the face of the known danger, no matter how great the danger is, it is much stronger than facing the unknown danger, after all, uncontrollable, unknowable things are a great threat in themselves.

"This... I really can't say well. I can only try to analyze and understand it from the knowledge I know about tree burials, and these knowledge networks are basically available, but we have studied a lot of species knowledge in tropical climate regions in Southeast Asia before we came, and we have a wide range of knowledge, but I didn't expect that there are things similar to tree burials here, so I didn't search for you before coming, download and learn systematically. ”

Wang Ziming said with some regret, and then looked carefully at the grimace tree in front of him, and said: "I still talk about the knowledge related to ancient or modern tree burials, and if there are any questions, let's study them and see if we can find valuable clues." ”

Subsequently, Wang Ziming added some of the knowledge related to tree burial that he had just systematically explained, which may not have been in place.

According to Wang Ziming, from ancient times to the present, in addition to the single funeral method practiced by individual ethnic minorities and Buddhism, the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities generally practice the burial method of combining cremation and burial.

The reason why everyone, whether official or non-governmental, chooses this method, and it remains unchanged through the ages, is precisely because of the idea of "entering the soil for peace" that has been said to you earlier

and the influence of traditional customs.

The only function of traditional funeral methods is to convey the nostalgia of relatives for the deceased.

Modern tree burials can not only convey mourning, but also green the environment.

Traditional tree burial is a very ancient burial method, and its main form is to place the deceased in a large tree deep in the mountains or in the wilderness, and let it weather.

Later, some slightly modified methods were to display the deceased on specially made scaffolding.

Because the corpse is allowed to be weathered after being placed, tree burial is also called "wind burial", "hanging burial", "wood burial", "empty burial" or "hanging burial".

Tree burial is a reflection of tree dwelling, and therefore, tree burial is also a remnant of primitive life on burial customs.

But these ancient tree burial methods, although not only buried in the soil under the tree, but also placed on the tree to dry, or hung on the tree, but after all, it is different from this kind of hollow trunk of each tree, and then put the corpse inside, this form is almost non-existent in ancient times, so it can be seen that the "ghost forest" in front of you is definitely not just a tree burial.

But it's not simple, and I can't say it, so although Wang Ziming is also suspicious, he can only explain to you the knowledge of ancient traditional tree burials, hoping that after everyone understands the knowledge of ancient traditional tree burials, they can crack some of the secrets of this weird and gloomy forest in front of them through analysis and research.

Through Wang Ziming's narration, everyone learned that according to relevant records, in ancient times, before the feudal superstitious belief in "soul" was born, people abandoned corpses in the wild, just like animals treated the same group of corpses.

There is a cloud in "Zhou Yi Biography of the Dictionaries": "The ancient burial people, thick clothes and salaries, burial in the wilderness, no seals and no trees, countless mourning periods......"

This is a situation in which people dispose of corpses in the absence of the concept of the soul, or when the worship of the soul was not yet developed.

After the emergence of the concept of the soul, people placed the corpse according to various ideas about the relationship between the soul and the corpse, as well as fantasies about the life of the soul in the underworld.

As a result, various burial methods and burial styles have emerged, which can be roughly divided into two categories: one is to protect the dead, such as earth burial, embalming burial, hanging coffin burial, etc.; The other type is the extermination of dead bodies, such as cremation, wind burial, tree burial, etc.

Among them, the burial style of tree burial is quite recorded in Chinese literature. "Wei Shu: The Biography of Lost Wei" cloud: "Lost Wei State,...... When the parents died, the men and women wept together for three years, and the corpses were placed on the trees. ”

"The Book of Zhou: On the Exotic" says that the funeral custom of the Mo Xi people is "the deceased is wrapped in reeds and hung on a tree." ”

But no matter what, as long as it is a tree burial, as long as it is a tree burial related to the concept of tree burial, all of them are for the purpose of eliminating the corpse, basically the corpse is rotten, the clothes have long been rotten, and the corpse will not be wrapped tightly at all, and placed in the hollow trunk, which should be a practice of preserving the corpse.

Therefore, the kind of tree you see in front of you is already terrifying, and although the form of placing a corpse in this tree is similar to such a thing as a tree burial, it is even more incredible, and it is inevitable to have suspicions.

Just when everyone was at a loss, and they wanted to study the strange situation similar to a tree burial in front of them

Seeing the strange thick tree in front of me, the corpse placed in the trunk seemed to move...

Let's say that Cao Longxuan and the other people who stayed outside the "Ghost Forest" listened intently in the wireless communication system all the time, preventing Bai Yunfei and the others from rushing to the rescue once they had an accident in the "Ghost Forest" filled with white fog.

Bodchin spun in circles like a fire on his ass, unable to find a shade to sit down and rest like the others.

After a while, seeing that there was no response in the wireless communication system, he urged Cao Longxuan to try to contact Bai Yunfei and them to see if there was something wrong.

Cao Longxuan originally wanted to ignore Bo Deqin's words, but after thinking about it, he still used the wireless communication system on the individual combat system to make a call.

Fortunately, Bai Yunfei and the others were not far from this "ghost forest", and when they heard Cao Longxuan's call, Bai Yunfei replied in the wireless communication system, indicating that the distance between the two sides is still within the effective working range of the communication system.

Bai Yunfei's reply is that this forest is currently non-toxic, the trees are very weird, and the same as seen in the distance, the whole forest is this kind of strange trees, and what is even more surprising is that there is at least one corpse in each tree, although it is suspected of being buried by a tree, but there are many suspicious points, and those corpses have been decaying into dry bones for thousands of years, and even turned into dirt and dust, but they are still intact as new.

Hearing Bai Yunfei's description, Cao Longxuan asked Han Debang to translate to Bo Deqin and them, and then proposed to the people who were left behind outside the "Ghost Forest" to set off immediately and rush to the location of Bai Yunfei and the other five.

Although Cao Longxuan's prestige in the "Eight Immortals" expedition has fallen to the bottom, after all, he is the boss who financed the expedition, since the captain Bai Yunfei is not there, everyone is not easy to refuse Cao Longxuan, so they got out of the shade of the tree, sorted out their equipment, and began to march into the forest.

In fact, the only one who can really refuse him here is Li Yulan, but this woman who is currently in an embarrassing position in the expedition team did not directly refute him.

Because although she didn't mention that she came to participate in the expedition in the first place, it was to help him, at least after Cao Longxuan ignored her life and humiliation, she had completely disheartened him, but after all, there were still people in this expedition team who were worthy of her nostalgia, although everyone didn't say it, they all knew it in their hearts, that is, Bai Yunfei had become her nostalgia.

This infatuated woman has always been trapped in the word "love" and can't extricate herself.

Outside the ghost forest, the people left behind looked vigilant, slowed down their pace in fear, and slowly approached the ghost forest.

Before entering, they lit the few torches they had, and then dispersed the dancing branches around them, trying to whip them.

But when everyone saw the grimaces, hideous, twisted, and ugly faces on the trunks from a close distance, everyone couldn't help but feel a tense heart, a stomach twitching, nausea and vomiting, and a kind of fear and coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Cao Longxuan was constantly communicating with Bai Yunfei in the wireless communication system, so as to gradually judge what they were traveling

Whether the route is correct or not.

The people who had been left behind outside before were all together, and their expressions were extremely nervous to deal with the countless terrifying branches in all directions.

Walking in this ghost forest, although it is not said that it is full of dangers, this eerie and terrifying environment is already terrifying in itself.

Later, the people who entered the "Ghost Forest" kept waving torches to disperse the branches of the ghost trees like octopus tentacles in all directions, and they also had to endure the fear of not daring to look at them and always wanting to look at the grimaces on the trunks, their hearts were full of worry and struggle, and there was always a feeling of being devoured lingering in their hearts.

After walking for about ten minutes, the people who had been staying outside the "Ghost Forest" finally saw Bai Yunfei and a few others faintly in the white fog in front of them.

These people were very happy in their hearts, thinking that this can be regarded as a victory, right?

So, everyone hurriedly shouted and waited for Bai Yunfei and a few others in front of them, and began to run quickly.

But it was at this time that they saw a strange and frightening scene.

It is said that Bai Yunfei and a few others are studying the strange "ghost tree" in front of them, as well as the very strange and mysterious corpse in the hollow trunk.

And Bai Yunfei was studying with everyone, while communicating with Cao Longxuan in the wireless communication system, after a short period of communication, he continued to ponder with everyone repeatedly pondering these weird things in front of him, even if he felt uncomfortable, he would not stop or even ignore the past.
