Chapter 219: Another Black Coffin
Looking at the appearance of these people, even if you think about it with your toes, you know that it is not normal!
Listening to Zhang Kailong's brief introduction, I probably guessed what was going on, but I didn't understand, how could such a big pit collapse on the embankment of the Yellow River?
I asked Zhang Kailong in a whisper if he noticed anything unusual about the old ones. Zhang Kailong pondered for a moment and replied: "It's just that I haven't spoken, and my face is not good-looking, maybe I was scared by last night's experience!" ”
Because Zhang Kailong and they also experienced a night of fright, even if they saw the abnormality that was older than them, they took it for granted that they were frightened.
I knew that I was the only one who could smell the faint smell of corpses on them, and they didn't have the heart to think about anything at the time.
Zhang Kailong turned to look at his uncle and asked, "Old Sun, you came just in time!" Know this...... What's going on with this coffin? ”
In fact, as soon as he came here, Uncle Shi's eyes never left this huge black coffin.
"I don't know whose coffin it is, but I can be sure that the location of this coffin is wrong!" Uncle Shi said.
We knew he must have something to do, so we didn't pick it up. After a pause, Uncle Shi said again: "In the eyes of our Yellow River Dao people, the location of this big pit happens to be a 'Yin and Yang Junction'. ”
Uncle Shi pointed to the Yellow River not far away, and then pointed to a saline-alkali land on the east side of the Yellow River embankment, saying that the location of this big pit is just at the junction of yin and yang, and the west of the embankment is the Yellow River, and the water belongs to yin; To the east of the Yellow River is a saline-alkali land, which can be described as saline-alkali land? In addition to the high alkalinity of the soil, there is also an important reason, that is, the land is short of water all year round.
There may be many places where yin and yang are at the junction of yin and yang in the world, but there are very few that are really so clear, and any such place must be a place of right and wrong, and most of the haunted places that people often say are places where yin and yang meet.
How do you say that? I have also memorized a lot of scriptures, and Uncle Shi used a lot of Taoist terms in his explanations, and his words simply said that those lonely souls and wild ghosts, who could not go down to the underworld and could not go back to the yang world, all stayed in this kind of place. According to Feng Shui, this place is not a good yin cave, but it is a rare place in the world to raise corpses.
If the ancestors of a family were hiding here, their descendants would surely die in an accident within fifty years, but this corpse would gradually absorb all kinds of evil qi and then turn into something even more evil. What's more sinister? Uncle Shi didn't say it explicitly, because in the values of our Yellow River Dao people, there are no ghosts or demons in the world, but I know that what Uncle Shi caused is a ghost or a zombie.
From afar, we can see a lot of symbols and graphics engraved on the coffin board, which are exactly the kind of mysterious symbols we have seen many times before, because the coffin is so heavy that the two dozen or so people present seem to be unable to lift it.
Zhang Kailong shouted and tried a few more times, but he could only barely pull the coffin.
At this time, I noticed that half of the people standing on both sides of the coffin were policemen, and the other half were villagers, and the eight of them just looked at the big coffin under the pit with a very strange look, and did not mean to help.
I wondered in my heart: there are a lot of people, this coffin will not be full of gold! It's too fucking heavy.
At this time, I heard the sound of "woo woo woo" from the south, and when I looked up, I saw a lot of people coming in the distance, all wearing white filial piety clothes.
"Holy! It's a big morning, who the hell is mourning! ”
Li Xiaobai scolded in a low voice.
In fact, as I mentioned earlier, according to our local funeral customs, after the death of the elders, the younger generations should wear school uniforms, and the so-called filial piety clothes are a pure white coarse cloth robe, and there is also a white hat buttoned out of white cloth.
At that time, the system of three-day burial was popular in the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River. To put it simply, after the death of the ancestors, they had to wear linen and filial piety that night, and go to the local temple with a willow stick to send the soul, but later the temple was basically demolished, and people went to the land where the temple was located to go around and play a symbolic role.
The next day I have to go twice, that is, after the first trip back, stop slightly, and then go again, even if this trip is sad, I can only cry, and I must not cry, and when I get to the temple location, I want to burn paper horses, paper people and clothes used by the deceased before his death, which means that the deceased will be sent to the underworld!
It was not until the third day that the burial ceremony began, which is known locally as "mourning".
The funeral process is quite cumbersome, with a series of rituals to be carried out before finally going to the grave to see the deceased on their last journey.
