Chapter 37: Water Burial
After walking another twenty miles, the ship came to a halt. The water was too shallow for a boat, and several men disembarked and carried the coffin to the valley ahead.
Ling Shengxue, Yanli, and Yun Tianlang also dismounted and quietly followed behind. Before they knew it, the group in front of them had walked into a hidden cave.
"It looks like the tomb is in that cave." Lingsheng Snow Road.
Yanli suddenly felt dizzy, her ears buzzed, and her heart suddenly jumped.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Shengxue sensed her abnormality.
"That valley ......," Yanli pointed to the opposite side.
Ling Shengxue turned around and looked: "There is a lot of yin qi here, could it be that you see those again?" ”
Yanli shook her head: "No, I didn't see it." It's just that I suddenly feel uncomfortable and my heart is beating hard. ”
"Then why don't you rest here and don't follow up?"
"No, no, no, I must go in with you." Yanli patted her forehead, "I'm feeling better, let's follow, I'm fine." ”
Ling Shengxue said: "Okay, you follow me, if you really can't hold it, you have to say it." ”
Yanli nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine." ”
The three of them followed the cave. The cave is full of strange stones, followed for a long time, the front group stopped, several men put down the coffin, began to work together to lift a boulder on the ground in front of them, after the boulder was removed, a black hole appeared on the ground, deep into the ground, I don't know the depth. The mourners began to tie chains and stones to the coffin, and then threw the coffin vertically into the hole. After a long time, I heard a muffled "bang", the sound of the coffin hitting the water, and then there was no sound. They had just tied stones to the outside of the coffin with iron chains, which turned out to increase the weight of the coffin and make it sink to the bottom.
The mourners made a very strange salute around the entrance of the cave, and several people circled the entrance of the cave three times in order from top to bottom, and finally everyone moved the boulder back to its original place, and then quietly went out by the same way. Ling Shengxue, Yanli, and Yun Tianlang hid behind the big rocks and waited until their voices were far away before they came out.
"I really can't imagine that the Fan family is a prominent family in Jinghai, and they have always been low-key, how could so many strange people come out? And it would be such a strange funeral, could it be that all the ancestors had to hide under this water as long as the surname Fan? Yun Tianlang scratched his head.
"Those people who are likely to be in the clan just now don't interact much on weekdays, and they get together when they encounter major events." Lingsheng Snow Road.
"That's weird! The Central Plains pursued burial, and people said that it was safe to enter the earth. Isn't this Fan family from the Central Plains? Why water burial? I'll ask the eldest sister when I go back......" Yun Tianlang was saying when Ling Shengxue suddenly covered his mouth and motioned for him to keep quiet. Yun Tianlang's eyes widened and he saw another person walking in at the entrance of the cave.
In came a very peculiar-looking old man, with a white beard, and seven gray braids tied around his head, each with a small bell tied under it. As he walked, he made a subtle bell sound, which looked indescribably strange. The old man was not tall, but he was very strong. He walked straight up to the boulder and lifted it with ease, which required seven or eight adult men to lift. He set the boulder aside, revealing the bottomless black hole. The old man took out a very strange-looking instrument from his bosom, put it to his mouth and blew it. The instrument looked like Xun, but the sound it produced was not at all a vocal music that people could appreciate. He blew halfway, and nothing changed in the whole cave.
The old man suddenly became furious: "What kind of bastard! Actually ruined his grandfather's treasure worm! He slapped his palm at the stone wall, and the cave shook, and the stones above his head fell one after another. He turned his head to look at the boulder and slashed it away.
