Chapter 42: A Strange Tree Burial

In order to set an example for everyone, I saw Bai Yunfei unload the individual combat system on his body, and then began to wear it one by one, everyone quietly watched him wear this high-tech protective suit, and then listened to Bai Yunfei say while wearing it:

"We should send a few people to this weird forest to explore now, if the white fog in this forest, and those trees are not harmful to us, then we have to break through, explore, what kind of road is ahead, we must go deeper, our destination should be in the distance, it is impossible to easily achieve the goal like this, which is also not in line with the spirit and thinking of a great wise man like Wei Zhiliang, the king of Wei."

Hearing him say this, Niu Gang, Wang Ziming and several others also took off the individual combat system like a big burden from their bodies one after another, and began to wear them one by one, and then heard Bai Yunfei say to Cao Longxuan:

"Boss Cao, you lead the rest of them to rest here for a while, let's go in and investigate, if there is no problem, we will report the details to everyone when we come back, if there is an accident, we will call or use gunfire to contact."

Cao Longxuan nodded, and then said to Bai Yunfei: "Don't worry, Yunfei, you must pay attention to safety, we will wait for you to come back with peace of mind." ”

Bai Yunfei, Niu Gang, Wang Ziming, Su Lao Ghost and Lu Wuyang, a total of five people, began to advance towards the ghost forest in front.

They all put on a tight individual combat system, and each of them carried a submachine gun full of bullets, and began to move slowly and cautiously towards the ghost forest.

When they reached the edge of the forest, they saw the strange and eerie ghost trees with human faces, and began to sway their branches wildly, and those branches began to squirm like the tentacles of an octopus, and stretched out towards them frantically.

Wang Ziming took out a test strip-like thing from his medicine box that he had prepared, and tested the fog wafting out of the forest, and found no great toxicity through the test, nor did he have other weird damage properties, so Wang Ziming informed Bai Yunfei in the wireless communication system, saying that fortunately, these fogs are not poisonous, and they are not like the black fog in the Black Evil Valley, which is formed by swarms of small Gu worms, so you don't need to wear a gas mask. It is no problem for people who enter this forest to breathe freely.

Although he was sure that the air in this ghost forest was not harmful for the time being, looking at the thousands of face-wrenching trees in front of him, like thousands of octopuses, frantically twitching tentacles, Bai Yunfei shouted in the wireless communication system:

"I don't think it's going to be easy for us to deal with these ghost trees with guns, and given their strange and evil appearance, it's best not to get their branches tangled, otherwise it could be very dangerous. Should we go back and fetch the torches that haven't burned yet, light the fire, and try to see if we can dispel them? ”

In the face of these crazy ghost trees that were twitching their branches, everyone couldn't think of a good way for the time being, so when they heard Bai Yunfei say this, the five of them went back and went back

After the torch is lit, everyone holds a torch, and at the same time holds the submachine gun with the strap on his shoulder, opens the safe, and puts the index finger of the hand holding the gun on the edge of the ring at any time, ready to deal with other emergencies at any time.

The five of them returned to the edge of the ghost forest and began to slowly move deeper into the forest.

The ghost trees, all of which were twitching their branches like octopus tentacles, writhing wildly with evil faces, stretched their branches hard at them, and when they saw and felt the fiery torches, they all withdrew their tentacle-like branches and began to dodge in the opposite direction.

Whether it was the five people who came to explore the way, or the people who were watching from afar, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it seemed that these weird and terrifying ghostface trees were still afraid of fire.

So, the five men held torches and submachine guns on their shoulders and began to move slowly towards the depths of the ghost forest.

As the five of them went deeper, everyone saw too many strange phenomena in the ghost forest in the white fog, so shocked that sometimes everyone forgot to even move forward, this ghost forest is too weird, it is no longer like a forest that should exist in the world, but a hell forest that should exist in ghost stories.

I saw that on the ghost face trees in these eerie, weird, and terrifying ghost forests, not only did they have the shape of those ghost-like human faces, but the trunks of these trees were actually hollow, and each ghost tree would have a wrapped mummy-like corpse inside.

"This should be a tree burial."

Wang Ziming and a few others approached one of the trees with torches, and after carefully observing the trunk of the wriggling human face, they went around to the back of the side of the tree showing the human face, and accidentally found that there was a crack in the trunk that went up and down, and through the gap, they vaguely saw that there seemed to be something hidden inside, so they used the torch to disperse the countless branches that were circling and flying above their heads, twisting and twitching, and at the same time used the light of the torch to shine into the crack of the tree.

After digging through the gap to see that there was actually a corpse wrapped around a mummy, Wang Ziming finally said this.

"But I really didn't expect that in the ancient feudal society where the idea of 'entering the soil for peace' was deep-rooted, the funeral custom of tree burial was popular in the Valley of the Wei Dynasty, which is really surprising." Wang Ziming muttered to himself a little stammered.

In addition, after Bai Yunfei and the other four people who were traveling with them heard it, except for Su Lao Ghost, everyone else was a little surprised, and at the same time they felt very depressed, terrifying and even disgusting, they couldn't help but be curious, and asked Wang Ziming what is a "tree burial"?

"You cowards, you don't even know what a 'tree burial' is, it's a shame." Old Ghost Su glanced at a few people around him with some disdain.

"Tree burial, as the name suggests, is the burial of a person in, on, or under a tree. Just like cremation, earth burial, water burial, etc., it is a manifestation of different forms of funeral, so the funeral is named in this way. Of course, there is also a saying of 'sky burial' on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and different funeral customs are also the same as the nation

Geography. Wang Ziming explained to everyone.

"Is there anything special about this tree burial?" Bai Yunfei slung his submachine gun cross-legged behind his back, replaced the mountain knife tied to his back, held a torch in one hand to illuminate and drive away the fluttering branches, and used the mountain knife to cut off the dry bark of the gap with the other hand, so that the gap was much wider and easier to observe.

"Of course." Wang Ziming pointed to the hollow strange tree in front of him and popularized the knowledge of tree burial to several other people.

Originally, tree burial is divided into "wind burial", "hanging burial", "empty burial", "hanging burial" and other forms, although in ancient times, especially in the Central Plains, the most advocating burial, but tree burial is also an ancient burial type.

In a general sense, tree burial refers to a new way of disposing of ashes by burying the ashes deep under a designated tree, or scattering the ashes in the soil and planting a tree on top of them as a memorial.

Ancient tree burials did not have tombs, and did not use biodegradable special columbariums. It is only used for marking, for example, just put a stone under the tree, nail a copper plate to the stone, write the name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, or hang a memorial plaque of the deceased on the tree.

No graves, no tombstones, only a small amount of land.

Although tree burial has been handed down from ancient times, it can be said that tree burial is one of the most advanced funeral concepts and practices in the world today.

Therefore, the genre of tree burial is divided into ancient tree burial and modern tree burial.

Ancient tree burials are quite common in ethnic minority areas in northeastern and southwestern China.

Modern tree burial is a new form of funeral, that is, people adopt green space, plant some trees, and scatter the ashes of relatives under the trees.

The biggest feature of modern tree burial is that its ground is not devoid of any funeral facilities, but is marked by memorial trees or natural stones.

In order to verify that this strange ghost forest is a tree burial group, and many trees in it are used for tree burial, they started from this tree and inspected many trees, and sure enough, each tree has a tightly wrapped "mummy", and even a tall, thick tree, there will be two corpses inside, a particularly thick tree, and there will even be five or six very tightly wrapped corpses inside.

And this large-scale tree burial group here is naturally left over from ancient times, and it is believed that in this mysterious and sinister Wei King Valley, there will be no modern people living here.

Then these tree burials left over from ancient times have greatly attracted everyone's attention, especially people like Wang Ziming and Su Laogui who have a certain understanding of tree burials, and they are full of doubts in their hearts.

Because tree burials are usually buried in the soil under the trees, there is hardly any place where the corpse is wrapped tightly and then stuffed into a hollow trunk for burial.

It is not known whether these trees are naturally formed hollows or artificially chiseled hollows after so many years, but the fact that these corpses are tightly wrapped and not decomposed is breathtaking.

You must know that from the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, and then to today, the wheel of history has gone through a history of thousands and hundreds of years, and it can be placed in such a bare place

The trunk of the tree, which has been eroded by the wind and sun and other natural substances for so many years, is immortal and intact, which is really amazing.

What kind of sophisticated anti-corrosion technology does it take to achieve this?

And what puzzled everyone was, why did these corpses not "go into the ground", but put them in the trunk of a tree? What is the significance of such a tree burial?

And the most terrifying and mysterious thing is that these trees used to bury people's corpses are not like trees at all, but like "demon trees", no wonder everyone couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts just now, thinking that these trees are "ghost trees", and they have not yet entered the forest, just looking at it from a distance, they will feel that this is a "ghost forest".

Because of the grimace-like trees that grew on each trunk, there was no need to find the corpses inside, just seeing the appearance of these trees was already creepy and chilling.

If such a gloomy, evil, and weird tree is used to hold human corpses, how can it be reminiscent that these trees are used to bury human corpses?

"Could this be a man-eating tree, and the people inside were captured and eaten by them?" Lu Wuyang asked with palpitations.

Wang Ziming shook his head and didn't speak, but looked at the evil "ghost tree" in front of him with a solemn expression, and he didn't know if he shook his head to mean that he didn't know, or he denied what Lu Wuyang said.

"What's going on? I don't understand if these trees are the tree burials you are talking about? Niu Gang was a little anxious, his big eyes were round, and he began to be a little impatient.
