Chapter 5: Burial of Sea Flowers

"What are you afraid of?" Uncle Mu glanced at me.

But I couldn't speak, because I had noticed something was wrong when I entered the swamp, which was very cloudy and the air was covered with layers of mist.

"Scalpel, will there be ...... in this hut" Before the ninth master finished speaking, the scalpel waved his hand at the ninth master, and then, I saw the scalpel bend down and touch it.

Whether there are ghosts or not, I really don't know.

In the distance, there was a black mist in the air, and the fog also shrouded the thatched house.

I blinked, looked at it, and my heart pounded.

Nearby, we came to a thatched hut.

Looking forward through the hand lamp, the thatched huts are stacked solidly, and their architectural form is very different from that of yurts, with the top of the round head on the lower column.

What caught my eye was the upper port of the thatched hut, and on the upper right, it was covered with a layer of paper, but there was a white light inside, and in front of me was a wooden door.

The scalpel stepped forward, he bent his head and leaned forward, and then, he tapped lightly on the wooden door, "Knock knock-".

I was hiding on the right side of the wooden door, and I was holding the Type 36 rifle tightly in my hand. As for the ninth master, he followed behind the scalpel, and he also held a gun in his hand, while Xihe was holding a scimitar.

After a few taps, I waited for a few minutes, and to my bewilderment, no one came to open the door.

So, the scalpel struck again, and the result was still the same.

The ninth master was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "His grandmother's, jump in directly!" ”

With that, the Ninth Master kicked towards the wooden door.

Anyway, I heard a "bang" and the wooden door opened.

The door was opened, and the Ninth Master was the first to poke in, and when he walked inside, I was surprised by what he saw inside. The room was empty, but a candle was placed in the room, and the candle burned.

"No one? Empty house? "I'm curious.

We didn't see anything, so we turned all our eyes to the candle, which burned, and on one side of the candle was an incense burner, and in the censer were three incense sticks.

I was stunned, "For sacrifices?" ”

The third master may still know more than I know, and perhaps his experience is a little richer.

He shook his head and said, "It's not a sacrifice, I think it's like a worship to a god." ”

I also don't want to know whether it's better to worship the gods or worship, because the two of them have the same effect.

Simple stuff, we didn't look much at.

The scalpel grimaced and said, "Let's go!" ”

Everyone was shocked.

"Whether it's a ghost lamp or not, now it's clear." Scalpel said.

We went out of the house, and looked back at the other houses in the distance, and they were all lit up.

"Ninth Master, do you want to continue to investigate?" I asked.

The Ninth Master said lightly, "If this is really a ghost village, it will be troublesome." ”

I was stunned and didn't dare to say more, but followed the ninth master out of the house.

Subsequently, according to the meaning of the scalpel, we successively inspected the thatched houses here.

Sure enough, the house was still empty, save for candles and incense burners.

I counted them, and there were more than a dozen households.

"Ninth Master, this is really strange, there is no one in the house, is it possible that everyone here is dead," I asked.

The Ninth Master just nodded, "Perhaps, those people died as early as 6 years ago." ”

If so, what happened here 6 years ago?

Nothing was found, and in the sense of the scalpel, ready to rest.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me, and I inadvertently shouted, "Someone! ”

The Ninth Master glanced at me and said coldly, "Do you want to die?" ”

But my body began to tremble, and my heart was even more panicked.

Xiao Wu on the side nudged me, and I sat on the ground uncontrollably.

The Ninth Master realized that something was wrong, he quickly turned around sharply and looked forward.

Hey? Nothing.

Walking out of the thatched hut, the scalpel did not call for rest, and we continued to walk inside.

I entered a heavy area of black fog, and it was even more gray in front of me.

I was shrouded in black fog, and I was able to see a certain amount of restriction by using a handlamp to shine in.

Suddenly,

I could faintly see something white in the black mist.

Especially the scalpel, I was surprised by his actions, and he ran straight up and chased after him.

"Scalpel!" The ninth master shouted, but when he looked away again, the scalpel was already shrouded in black mist.

At this time, I asked, "Ninth Master, are you still leaving!" ”

The ninth master's eyebrows tightened, and he said, "Keep up!" ”

The words of the ninth master are like orders.

And I had no other choice, so I poked in, and it took less than ten minutes to walk inside.

I also saw a figure, and when I looked closer, I realized it was a scalpel.

I was also very happy to see the scalpel.

I hurriedly trotted away and came closer.

As far as the eye can see, there is actually a hidden river. But what is even more strange is that the river is from top to bottom, and there are some white lotus flowers floating in the river.

The white lotus flowers are all covered in the river, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers is even more diffuse. I was a little intoxicated, and my mind was a little restless.

I was puzzled, so I asked, "What's the matter with this lotus flower in the water?" ”

Xihe said, "This is our custom here, called burying sea flowers, that is, when people die, they throw their bodies in the sea, and the white lotus flower represents your soul sustenance, so that these people go to sacred places." ”

This is the first time I've heard of it, and I say, "It's really evil!" ”

Xihe smiled in a low voice, "There are very few people who can continue this custom forever, even our Naxi tribe doesn't need it. ”

The Ninth Master asked, "Then what do you mean, who are they?" ”

The Ninth Master wanted to know who it was that would take advantage of such a burial method.

Xihe said gloomily, "Spirit Spot Clan! ”

I was stunned, and even the Ninth Master stared at Xihe with both eyes.

Nishiwa went on to explain, "The Lingban tribe, who have always lived in the sea before, are also the oldest primitive people. Of course, society is changing, times are progressing, and over time, the Spirit Spot Clan is also progressing, becoming the most mysterious tribe. ”

"Xihe, then according to your meaning, will they eat people?" I worried.

The cannibalism is actually among the cannibals, and it's hard to say what the Lingban clan is like.

Xihe sighed and said, "This ......"

"Ninth Master, look! The lotus flower has changed color......" I cried out, because under the illumination of the hand lamp, I saw that the lotus flower, which was originally white, suddenly spilled out a trace of blood in the center of the petals.

The blood was as pickled as it had been pickled, and it was extremely red......
