Birth, old age, sickness and death are the path that everyone must go through, and everyone has to go through it, but people in different parts of China have very different burial methods after death, and some places choose burial, cremation, and water burial. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info today is going to talk about the wonders of the Bagua Tomb Tower in southern China.

The word Five Elements Bagua is not unfamiliar to everyone, but some people regard the Five Elements Bagua as a matter of divination, or a matter of feng shui, and different people in different places have their own unique views on the Five Elements Bagua.

It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a village in the deep mountains in southern China, called Sanhei Village, the village was not big or small, there were more than 100 families, it was during the war, most of the young people in the village were conscripted into the army, and only some children and old people were left in the village. The old people waved the farm tools in their hands, and in this early spring, they worked hard, and a few hairy children played by the well near the entrance of the village.

Suddenly, some people in shabby military uniforms carried bags of large cloth bags with unknown things, and rushed straight to the door of the village chief's house, because the village was not very large, it did not take long to arrive at the village chief's house.

At this time, the village chief was talking in the courtyard with a neatly dressed officer, and several large cloth bags were placed on the ground, wrapped tightly. The shabby-dressed men gasped for breath under the trees outside the courtyard, panting as they picked up the jug and poured large gulps of water into their mouths. Then the people in the courtyard spoke,

"The battle in front is tight, this side has not yet been attacked, and the enemy has come to intercept us again, resulting in many casualties on our side, and these bags are the martyrs who sacrificed for the country in your village, you call a few barefoot (here refers to the personnel in the village who do the extradition of ghosts) to point these martyrs in the direction."

After listening to the officer's words, the village chief frowned, took a few puffs of the pipe in his hand, and said: There are very few people in our village, and this time so many people have died, how do I explain to the villagers. After saying that, he took a few more puffs of his pipe

The officer didn't listen to the village chief's complaints, and called out to a few soldiers outside the courtyard, and hurried back. The village chief put down the pipe in his hand, swayed to the place where there was a wooden bolt next to the yard, pulled the bolt, and the village sounded all kinds of bells, this is the communication tool in the village, a line bypasses every household, and each family hangs its own bell on the line, so that if there is something in the village, everyone will know.

After a while, the people of the village rushed to the largest open space in the village, which was the meeting place in the village. At this time, the body had been removed from the bag, and there were straw mats, covered with strips of white cloth, and there were blood stains faintly floating on them. At this time, the people in the village saw it and already knew what was going on, so when they saw it, they prayed in their hearts that it would not be their own children.

The village chief remembers the names of these dead people, but the old village chief, who is nearly 70 years old, has watched them grow up from childhood to adulthood, and some of them are still given by him, but now such a thing is happening, which really makes people sigh that the world is impermanent

Aunt Zhang in the village saw that her child was also inside, her feet were weak, and she sat on the ground, and several people next to her hurriedly went up to help her. Aunt Zhang married for two years and gave birth to her son Atian, her husband died of a strange illness soon after Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a child, Mrs. Zhang has been widowed for more than 20 years, and finally looks forward to her son growing up and can share some family burdens, but she doesn't want the country to recruit into the army, and her own children are also on the list

Aunt Zhang shouted "My son" and fainted, and the person next to her immediately carried her home. The village chief couldn't help but shake his head when he saw such a scene.

After a while, the village chief knocked on the pipe in his hand and said slowly: Zhang Lingpo, it will trouble you to extradite the souls of these children, and a short old woman on the side nodded slightly. The village chief said again: A few people who can help put the body into the sarcophagus of the Bagua Tomb Tower on the mountain.

This is located in the small Sanhei village of the Bagua Tomb Tower, but it has a long history, according to legend in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a Taoist temple next to this tomb tower, the Taoist people put the body in the tomb tower after death, and later due to the decline of the Taoist temple and the war panic, and then the Taoist temple was demolished, there was no one here to come, until later there came to live here, that is, the beginning of Sanhei Village.

This Bagua Tomb Tower has some eight horns, and each of the eight corners has a peculiar ghost. A small bell is tied to each of his feet. The tower is about 20 meters high, and there is a black bead in the middle of the top of the tower, and no one knows the material of the bead. However, the peculiarity of the tower lies in the inside of the tower. The tower is divided into five floors, corresponding to the five elements. Each body to be placed in the tower corresponds to its own five elements. There are nine sarcophagi on each floor and three large wooden coffins. A wooden coffin is five times the size of a sarcophagus, and there is a small compartment at the top of the tomb tower, which is locked with a stone lock, and some strange rune paper is pasted, and no one has a key, so no one has seen what is inside the compartment, only that there is a compartment. So the tomb tower has six floors to be exact.

Moreover, there is a peculiar burial method in Sanhei Village, which is to put the body in the sarcophagus for two days, and then take out the body for cremation, and then put the ashes in a jar and then put it in a large wooden coffin. This peculiar burial method has its own set of concepts, which outsiders do not know.

There are all sorts of strange things about this tomb.

During the heavy rain season in the village, a few days ago, the tomb tower would ring bells at night, but there was no bell on the mountain, and after the bell rang on the first day, it would rain on the second day. Of course, there are ghosts and ghosts.

It is said that once, some people in the village frequently stole their domestic poultry, because the county seat in the village is far away, it is almost impossible for anyone to steal it, so the people in the village are suspicious of each other, making people panic. But one day there was a Taoist priest in the village, saying that it was a branch of the Taoist temple on the mountain before, and he needed to come back every once in a while by the legacy of the previous master, as for what to do, he didn't say, when the Taoist priest went down the mountain in the evening, there was an extra gourd in his hand, and the night when the Taoist priest left, the tomb tower made a peculiar sound, similar to a ghost crying, no one can really describe this sound, that night, the people in the village saw a lot of souls coming in from the village entrance, drifting to the tomb tower on the mountain. The next day everything was calm and no more poultry were lost.

Returning, the village chief has just sent a notice, and several old men are carrying the body and setting off towards the mountain, it is more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is a little dark at this time. The strange things in the Bagua Tomb Tower are gradually starting to get weirder and weirder from now on
