124. Black coffin

The boat was docked alone by the river, black and boxy, like a coffin with hooked corners.

At each of the four corners of the boat are yellow pennants.

Nameless told me that it was a "ghost boat" that could cross the ghost cave of the Yin River and deter evil things in the water.

Legend has it that during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, when the three-headed river demon in the Yellow River was haunting, the Qing government sent a faction of water ghosts in the Yellow River to deal with the three-headed river demon.

The leader of the Yellow River water ghosts said that to deal with the three-headed river demon, it is necessary to invite the Yellow River Demon King from the Yellow River, and to invite the Yellow River Demon King, you need a boat that can cross the Yellow River Yin Cave.

Therefore, the Qing government ordered the king of Shandong to make a special black fir wooden boat, because it was specially designed to catch the corpse, and it was given to the Yellow River water ghosts, so it was called "ghost boat", and the Yellow River water ghosts were also cherished as their lives, and passed down from generation to generation as a treasure.

When I heard this, I was quite excited in my heart, according to the nameless statement, this ghost boat can cross the Yin River? And it's better than the coffin of the unjust ghost!

Then if we borrow this ghost ship from the water ghost king, won't we be able to cross the Yin River of the Thousand Corpse Caves safely and steadily and go to Dragon Palace City?

Nameless nodded, saying that people have to be willing to borrow it, no matter what, let's go find the water ghost king first and ask what happened back then.

We followed Wu Zixuan into the tiled house, and saw an extremely black and thin old man sitting on a small bench in the courtyard, with bamboo strips in his hands.

And what surprised me was that at the feet of the water ghost king, there was a black dog, the black dog stuck out his tongue, there was no tooth in his mouth, and his hair was almost bald, but when he saw us, he could still wag his tail.

I thought to myself, could this be the black dog that has been with the old man all the time?

Dogs generally live for no more than fifteen years, how did this black dog live so long? Could it be that it is really a dragon dog in the Yellow River?

Wu Zixuan stepped forward and called out to Master Wang, and then explained our intention.

The water ghost king was quite enthusiastic, beckoned us to sit down, and poured us tea.

In the face of our inquiry, the Water Ghost King narrowed his eyes and said that he was indeed a witness to the incident of the black dragon-patterned coffin back then.

The water ghost king lit the dry tobacco, slowly spit out a puff of smoke rings, and told the story of the past.

The dam in Jinsha Town was built in 1938 and is located at the confluence of the Luoshui River and the Yellow River, and the dragon-patterned coffin under the dam was also buried at that time.

In 1938, in order to resist the Japanese invaders, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the method of "replacing soldiers with water" and blew up a dam at Huayuankou, which turned back on the Yellow River for a time, drowning hundreds of thousands of people.

Afterwards, tens of thousands of floating corpses in the Yellow River, the corpses floated down the water, a stack of piles were blocked at the bay, groups of big fish and turtle spirits gnawed at the corpses under the water, listened to it at night, clicked, like a group of people lowered their voices and sang there, and occasionally a cry came, I don't know if the people were not dead, so they let the fish eat alive, which made people listen to the creepy, and no one dared to go out to see it.

It is said that there was a famine in those years, and there were many dead people, especially on the edge of the Yellow River, and there were floods one after another, and no one had ever seen a dead person, but after all, there were too many corpses, and the corpses kept floating over, and they all stinked in the water, and the smokers did not dare to pass by the river.

Later, there was no way out, so the government intervened to let nearby fishermen collect the corpses and burn them collectively on the river beach to prevent the corpses from decomposing and spreading the plague.

As a result, as soon as these fishermen fished, they found that the problem was big, these corpses floating upstream did not go anywhere, but went to a place alone, and dared to feel that these corpses did not float by chance, but something under the water beckoned them.

That place is the bay where the Yellow River and its tributary, the Luoshui River, meet.

Let's say that these fishermen were curious, and they were also forced by the government's obscenity, so they called everyone to salvage the floating corpses ashore. They found out that there was a strange thing here, generally speaking, when a person dies, the corpse will sink to the water, and when the body decomposes, it will float up, so the higher the floating corpse, the more decompositing it will be.

But here, it's the opposite.

The fishermen found that the corpses floating at the top here were the most complete, almost like newly deceased people, and the further down they went, the more the corpses decomposed, and when they reached the bottom, the corpses were simply a pile of bones, piled up into a mountain of bones.

The fishermen all muttered, could it be that the underwater corpses were eaten by fish?

But it doesn't look like it, if there are really so many fish, even if people are fishing for corpses here, the fish will not disperse immediately, at least a few splashes will come out. But look at here, there is no movement at all, it is like a pool of stagnant water.

Although everyone is afraid, they all know that it is taboo in the water, and no one dares to say anything, so they only work there, thinking that it is serious to quickly fish out these dead bodies that killed a thousand knives, and go home to sleep with their wives and children in their arms!

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound under the water, like an earthquake, the boat jumped straight on the water, and the water of the Yellow River seemed to be boiling, and a large bubble as big as a bowl mouth came out from under the water.

The big bubble was extremely smelly, and everyone couldn't help pinching their noses in the rolling waves, and then they heard a hula in the water, and a huge black coffin turned up under the water!

The coffin was covered in black ink, with dragon reliefs on both sides, bright red ink lines on the coffin, and tadpole-like runes painted with cinnabar everywhere.

Red is bright red, black is jet black, and it looks extremely shocking.

The huge coffin shook a few times, and then began to turn slowly, and the floating corpses that had been piled up in a pile followed it, hugging it and floating straight towards the shore.

At this time, someone who knew how to do on the shore screamed: "Run, the Yellow River Corpse King has come ashore!" ”

The legend about the Yellow River Corpse King has been circulating on both sides of the Yellow River for a long time, and folk legends say that the Yellow River Corpse King is transformed by the unjust soul buried in the Yellow River, and will eat people's hearts and minds alive, charming people's minds, and make people become ghosts, following behind it.

Some people also say that this corpse king is a kind of southern Xinjiang witchcraft, a kind of Gu raised in human corpses, this Gu will drill into people's internal organs, control people's minds, make people become a walking corpse, and finally be eaten to death.

But no matter what was in the big black coffin, whether it was the Yellow River Corpse King or not, it must be sealed with some kind of demon, otherwise there would not be so many cinnabar runes painted on it.

Some people say that the coffin is not a good kind at first glance, it is a coffin specially made of Shenyin wood, which is specially used to worship the Yellow River Niangniang, this thing has been sinking in the water for hundreds of years, why did the water wash out this evil thing this time?

What is Yellow River Niangniang?

Since ancient times, the Yellow River has many floods, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River also worship the Dragon King of the Yellow River from time to time, worship the eight kings of the Yellow River, and often lead the whole head of cattle and sheep into the Yellow River during the flood season.

But the most terrible thing is the human sacrifice.

Some places are dedicated to the boys and girls of the Yellow King, and there are also places to worship the Yellow River Niangniang for the Yellow King.

This Yellow River Niangniang must be an untrained yellow flower girl, beautiful, young, kind, and able to sing folk songs, so as to relieve the boredom of King Huang, so that he will not be irritable and flooded.

After such a girl is chosen, she will wrap a layer of silk on her body, soak it in sesame oil, and then in front of the eyes of the whole village, she will be thrown into the surging water of the Yellow River in a special Yellow River estuary altar to complete the sacrifice to King Huang.

Such a young and beautiful girl was thrown into the Yellow River for no reason, and no one would be angry! .

Therefore, the altar of the Yellow River Niangniang is often in trouble, often people see the girl playing naked in the river, and often hear the folk song tune of resentment in the water in the middle of the night, each family has closed the doors and windows, and at night there is a big thing and dare not pass by, but no matter how to prevent it, there are still people drowning there, the deceased has a hideous face, a big belly like a drum, and the fingernails are full of river mud.

Continuing to talk about the huge black coffin, it drifted all the way to the shore and ran aground before stopping.

It took a long time before the brave fishermen came over to take a closer look.

This coffin looks evil!

To say that in this ancient road of the Yellow River, it is normal to dig out any evil things, but this coffin is completely black, and it is outrageous, not like it was washed by the Yellow River later, but more like it has been lying here quietly for a long time, I don't know how many years.

Everyone was stunned, and then counted with their fingers, isn't the place where this black coffin emerged from the water directly opposite the stone platform of human sacrifice?

Could it be that the human sacrifices that have been thrown into the water all these years have been thrown on top of this black coffin?

There is also a possibility, could it be that the black coffin felt the human sacrifice here, so it floated all the way from the Yellow River, and finally placed it here?

So, what's in this huge coffin? ()
