Chapter 540: The Corpse Raising Ground (I)
Shaking my head, I stepped out of the canopy and casually looked around. It didn't take long to look at it, and he let out a 'huh' sound, and his brows furrowed.
Due to the frequent encounters of strange incidents, over the years, I have also been involved in feng shui, folk customs, etc., although I can't say that I am proficient, but I can still say that I know how to do it, and I can see the problem under this look.
Although Wang Zitong was a mun person, she was very arrogant, and her eyes wandered, and she never dared to look at me squarely, but she suddenly glanced at the change in my face with her spare eyes, and couldn't help but stammer, "Researcher Night, what did you find?" ”
"Look." I pointed to the distance, "The south side of this land is a raised terrain, and a little visual inspection with your eyes can show that the place where the ancient corpses are buried is the lowest place in the whole valley, forming a narrow angle with the mountain, and there are some jagged rocks deep into the ground. This situation is likely to be a kind of burial feng shui, commonly known as the 'dog brain case' of the corpse of the corpse. ”
"Corpse Ground?" Most of the archaeologists had heard of this term, so she didn't feel abrupt, but she frowned slightly, "You mean, the corpse raising ground is the main reason why the ancient corpse does not decay for five hundred years?" ”
"It's not just that." I measured it with my hand, "Miss Wang Zitong, do you believe in zombies?" ”
She shook her head, "I don't believe it." ”
"Actually, I didn't believe it before." I laughed.
"Do you believe it now?" She finally forgot to be shy because she was good, glanced at my face, and then quickly lowered her head, "I, I mean, have you encountered zombies before?" ”
Although this girl is a little shy, she is definitely not stupid, and she grasps the point of the words at once.
I didn't nod or shake my head, but said lightly, "If you have studied folk customs, you know that Yong'an, Gongchuan and other places still have a widely circulated story about the haunting of the "corpse raising ground". It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, a pregnant woman died due to dystocia. In addition to the grief of the family, he was hastily buried. One day, a man walked to a small restaurant on the side of the country road.
The shopkeeper grabbed him and shouted for debts, saying that his wife had been owing money on credit in the store for many years, and the old debts had not been paid and new debts had been added! The two argued, and a certain responded that his wife had been dead for many years, so why did he owe money? Eventually, the shopkeeper asked him to wait behind the curtain. Sure enough, not long after, a woman with a bowl claiming to be a so-and-so wife came again to pay the debt. When he saw that the woman's appearance was indeed the wife of the knotted hair, he quietly followed her. When the mountain road winds deep and deep, and he arrives in front of his wife's burial place, he sees a child running to meet him and want to enter the tomb together. In a certain hurry, he called his wife's name. I saw that his wife fell to the ground on her back and suddenly lost her breath, and the child knelt on the ground and called her mother to cry loudly. I knew that the child was born to dystocia! ”
"I know, I've seen similar things before." Wang Zitong held his glasses with his hand, "According to the recent archaeological discoveries, there were two burial customs in the Yangshaohua period in China. The so-called 'second burial' is also the most commonly used burial custom of the Hakka people in Yong'an. The old local custom is "to enter the soil for peace, and to bury for filial piety". The ancients believed that human flesh and blood belonged to the human world and must be formally buried after decaying, so that the soul of the deceased could be reincarnated after leaving the body and entering the underworld.
When Yong'an's "earthworkers" encounter zombies in the "corpse ground", the wages paid by the tomb owner must be doubled. When disposing of the corpse, the corpse should be placed outside the coffin to allow it to fully oxidize. From time to time, spirits are sprayed around the area by mouth to ward off the stench, and then rolls of coarse paper (straw paper) are used under oil-paper parasols to wipe off the carrion that has adhered to the hands and feet of the decomposed corpses one by one. Finally, the bones that are basically cleaned, first put the hip bones and tail vertebrae, then arrange the sacrum, lumbar vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae vertically in turn, and then use a few threads with bamboo cores to string all the vertebrae to avoid scattering. Then, put the toe bones, tibia, leg bones, finger bones, radius, ulna, etc. in turn, and then place the skull on the top side. In this way, the entire skeleton is clearly divided into small "golden urns". The internal organs of the corpse were chopped into pieces, and the internal organs, clothes, hats, filthy paper and other materials were burned along with a fire. When thick black smoke rises from the verdant mountains and forests like huge pillars, the grease stench even the birds and beasts are afraid of it! ”
I glanced at her appreciatively, and also came up with an example: "Then do you know that in the eighties of the century, a place called Luofang Town also excavated an ancient corpse similar to the present. When doing fieldwork on local folk funeral customs, the commune cadre at that time reported that there was an ancient tomb in the mountain behind the commune at that time. The surrounding peasants often came to burn incense and worship, and were reprimanded by the township cadres for messing around with "feudal superstition". Therefore, the armed militia was called, and a group of men and horses swept the grave with hoes and clubs, and dug up the coffin and forcibly pried it open. I saw a female corpse in the coffin with warm cheeks rubbing bright red rouge, white green fangs protruding outward, and clothes and other ornaments were intact. From under the embroidered quilt, the slender legs were exposed, and the thin toenails on the tips of the toes were unevenly long and pierced through the three-inch golden lotus. Everyone was so frightened that they threw away their armor and fled. Later, it was the peasants who buried the bodies and burned a lot of paper money. Speaking of it now, it is still frightening.
When the Fujian TV station's "Discovery Archives" film crew was filming the hanging coffin in Yong'an, a young female choreographer who claimed to be bold was in the Hanxiao Hotel when she was listening to the introduction of Yong'an's "earthwork" and "corpse raising ground" and zombies, and she was so frightened that she screamed loudly on the spot. Poor Hongyan stared at the dangling ceiling one night, and carefully jumped around all night, not daring to close his eyes at dawn. The rumors of "corpse breeding grounds" and zombies in the country are obviously exaggerated. The reason for this is that there are profound historical factors and superstitious colors, and of course, there is also a certain factual basis in it. ”
Wang Zitong was noncommittal, and held his glasses again, and said for a long time, "You mean, the ancient corpse we dug up will be corpsed?" ”
"Have you ever heard a sentence about Feng Shui?" I didn't answer her directly: "The 'dead tripe hole' comes out of purple hair, the 'dog braincase point' comes out of white hair, the 'broken dough curve' comes out of the bones, and the 'carp spine sand hole' comes out of ambush." You see, this tomb happened to be buried in the legendary dog's skull hole, and the ancient corpse was still dead and grew white hair, you say, is this a coincidence, or ......"
Wang Zitong didn't say much, her face, which was covered by glasses, actually changed uncertainly, and she stammered for a long time, "Yes, there is something I don't know if I should say or not." ”
