Chapter 146: The Yellow River Water Coffin
When he said this, Hong Jinglong's face was solemn, his eyes were indifferent, I always felt that there was a huge secret behind this soul yin wood, but looking at Hong Jinglong as if he was facing a great enemy, he didn't say it, and I didn't dare to ask.
Walking forward from here, the road is not rugged, a small road in the rock peak, the width is only for one person to pass, Tong Xinya took a small flashlight to lead the way in front, her physical strength is not good, she has to rest for a while, Rao is so also sweaty, but looking at the bright light in her eyes, I also did not propose to rest.
It was very quiet along the way, there was no sound except wheezing and footsteps, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and deliberately opened my mouth to break the terrible silence: "Lao Hong, what you said just now made me scratch my head." ”
Hong Jinglong, who was walking behind me, paused, and then said softly: "Are you talking about what happened on the side of the Yellow River fifteen years ago?" ”
I nodded and said, "That's right, why did you know that she was really Tong Xinya when she said this?" ”
There was a rare hint of relaxation and comfort in Hong Jinglong's tone: "Hehe, this matter is a long story, fifteen years ago, when the juniors of our Hong family and the Tong family met for the first time, it was said that a water coffin was found on the edge of the Yellow River. ”
"What is a water coffin?"
"One of the forms of funeral, in ancient times, there were not only burials, but also many forms of funeral, the most famous of the water coffins is sea burial, that is, the coffin is put on a gorgeous big ship, but the adhesive in the middle of the big ship is an unstable water solvent, as little as seven or eight hours, as much as five or six days, the adhesive between the planks of the big ship will slowly melt, the big ship will carry the coffin dumped in the vast sea, no one knows where the coffin of the deceased sinks. After all, most of them believe in karma, and they dug up too many people's graves during their lifetime, for fear that they would suffer the same treatment after they died, so they chose this strange funeral method. ”
I was a little curious when I heard this, and asked, "Didn't the ancient people pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to their roots, and enter the soil for peace?" How could they agree to throw their own body into the sea? ”
Hong Jinglong smiled lightly, and then explained to me in a hoarse voice: "It's not what you think, the ancients at that time didn't really attach much importance to entering the earth for peace, in other words, they valued the connotation of entering the earth for peace-sacrifice and blood food. ”
"Sacrifices and blood food?" I subconsciously repeated Hong Jinglong's words, feeling that these two words had a sense of familiarity, but I couldn't remember them for a while.
"The so-called sacrifice and blood food, is the descendants of the sacrifice of the ancestors of the sacrifice, the more high-ranking families, the more attention to these things, the feudal society at that time, people are convinced of the ghosts, they think that after their death, the soul will go to another world, there is blood food sacrificed by future generations, they can eat in the other world, not to be a lonely ghost, but when their coffin is cut open by tomb thieves, they will become a lonely ghost wandering in the world, can no longer enjoy the blood food sacrificed by future generations, That's what they're most afraid of. ”
"So, you found a water coffin in the Yellow River?"
"That's right." Hong Jinglong nodded, his tone was a little heavy, "When the news reached our Hong family, we were also a little unbelievable, you know, the reason why some people in ancient times used water coffins was because the water coffin funeral form was ethereal and difficult to find, but even if the Yellow River is mighty, the width is fixed, and it is really not a wise choice to use the water coffin funeral method on the Yellow River, and the ancient Yellow River is not the same as now, often diverted and cut off, and at that time the water coffin was buried in the Yellow River, which was equivalent to hanging the bones on the dog's head." ”
The first time I heard of a grave robber comparing himself to a dog, I forced a smile and asked him, "Why, you see the bones and go to the bone?" ”
Hong Jinglong shrugged, "Since it is a family of tomb robbers, of course, I am most interested in this strange form of funeral, our Hong family packed their bags and rushed over as soon as they received the news, but I didn't expect that the Tong family also went." ”
Hearing this, the gossip soul in my heart burned warmly, damn it, this tone obviously has a story! I immediately asked, "And then?" And then what happened when your two families met by the Yellow River? ”
"It's nothing." Hong Jinglong pretended to be relaxed and said, "The so-called water coffin is just a trap, the owner of the coffin is a general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, especially superstitious ghosts and gods, I don't know which fake Taoist priest gave him a bad idea, saying that he was born greedy for the life of the army, killing all his life, can plunder others and bless himself, and after he dies, he is buried in the water, and layers of traps are set around the coffin, if there are good deeds to open the coffin, he will definitely be killed by those vicious traps, as long as he accumulates a thousand ghosts, he can soar by day, Ranked in the immortal class. That's why he placed the coffin in the Yellow River, which was often cut off and diverted, and he didn't know how many greedy tomb robbers were killed by vicious organs. But now that the Yellow River has been sufficiently managed, the time and opportunity for the coffin to be exposed to the surface of the water has been greatly reduced, and after the passage of time, the most delicate and vicious mechanism at the beginning has slowly decayed, and it took us only two days to recognize the true purpose of the coffin, and we dismantled it easily. ”
"Wouldn't it, it's that simple?" I stopped and half-turned to look at Hong Jinglong behind me, this is too unscientific, my gossip soul is burning, and as a result, you tell me such a prosaic story? Hong Jinglong didn't expect me to stop suddenly, and I couldn't help but almost hit my back for a while, but he still reacted immediately, stopped his steps and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Of course it's that simple, otherwise what do you think." ”
There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!
At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that according to Hong Jinglong's reaction speed, not to mention that I suddenly stopped, even if I jumped up, he could subconsciously react, and then look at his current appearance, it was obviously a weak face!
I looked at Hong Jinglong even harder, trying in vain to make him feel ashamed in front of my truth and confess to be lenient, but he lowered his head and looked left and right, and raised his hand to touch his nose, but thinking of the look on his face, he raised his hand halfway up and put it down.
"He peeked at me in the shower!" Tong Xinya, who was at the forefront, suddenly broke out a shocking black curtain that was not shocking and endless.
"What's that?!"
My jaw almost dropped to the ground, this brother...... I really can't see it, don't look at the usual taciturn and cold iceberg, it's such a ruthless move as soon as you make a move! I was so mistaken about him!
"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Hong Jinglong raised his head suddenly, and defended himself eagerly, "How could I do such a bad thing?!" You don't want to spew blood! ”
"Then you were standing in the courtyard of my room...... How to explain it!? Tong Xinya stubbornly raised her head and said without giving an inch.
Hong Jinglong sighed softly: "Who said that standing in your yard is going to peek at you taking a bath?" I explained it to you very clearly, that night I saw a dark shadow flashing in front of my window, I subconsciously chased after him, he disappeared when he came to your yard, I was looking for traces, and it turned out to be ...... And you shouted! ”
"Huh...... That's so light. Tong Xinya waved her hand disdainfully, "A dark shadow flashed in front of your window?" That night, the Hong and Tong families confronted each other, and you didn't count how many open whistles, dark whistles, and mobile whistles each scattered? Who would break in in this case? Who can break in? ”
"You mean you have to put the basin on my head?!" Hong Jinglong clenched his fists and asked word by word.
Tong Xinya sneered disdainfully, turned around and continued to walk forward, there were two forks in the road in front of her, Tong Xinya only slightly recognized, and chose the road on the right.
Hong Jinglong frowned: "What do you mean?" This path obviously does not lead to the Bronze Temple, how do you choose this path. ”
Tong Xinya didn't answer Hong Jinglong's meaning, she was still walking in front of herself, Hong Jinglong's heart was even more angry, I couldn't control the situation as soon as I saw it, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What happened later?" What happened? Did the dark shadow catch it? ”
"What a dark shadow!" Tong Xinya was the first to speak in advance of Hong Jinglong, but her tone was indescribably tactful and cold, "In the eyes of their Hong family, the only person who can do such a pickled thing as a thief shouting and catching a thief is naturally our Tong family, and there is no worse person in the world than the Tong family, his good sister Hong Xuefei, naturally will not believe that her baby brother can do such a thing, of course, blame all the mistakes on my head!" ”
Even after many years, I can still hear full of resentment and unwillingness from Tong Xinya's words, Hong Jinglong has been bowing his head and not saying a word, I suddenly tightened my heart, and subconsciously asked: "What did she do to you?" ”
"Huh...... Hong Er's good sister, taking advantage of the black wind and high wind, threw me into the well in the backyard of the farmhouse, and also intimately covered the manhole cover until ...... It wasn't until two days later that it was discovered! Tong Xinya said word by word, her expression was flat, and her tone was indifferent.
I have nothing to say, I really didn't expect that chatting casually would cause this kind of thing, let alone that Concubine Hong Xue's methods were so violent and cruel. Throwing a girl into a well for two days and two nights? That's a bit of a madness!
"Say no more! It's all gone! Hong Jinglong closed his eyes and muttered to himself, with an indescribable melancholy in his tone.
Tong Xinya originally wanted to say something, but after hearing Hong Jinglong say this, she didn't know what she suddenly thought, so she immediately shut up.
I was the only one who looked at these two people in a daze, and I always felt that they both had a big secret to hide from me.
