Chapter 453: Welcoming God
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Master Wang, have you paid attention to that old man? Was she in this position just now? I squinted and my face was cloudy.
"Did you see her move?" Wang Shi's reaction was even more fierce than mine, and his voice trembled with a hint of trembling.
"I hope it's a delusion." I walked up to the old man, who was obviously a corpse, but there was a pair of cloth shoes under the bed.
What's even more interesting is that these shoes are placed upside down.
"This is also a custom in their village?" I didn't understand, so I looked at the live broadcast room, and this detail only attracted the attention of a small number of sailors.
Liu Banxian at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain: "Little friend, I have guessed some of the secrets of this village. ”
"Please also ask the half-immortal to make it clear." I turned around and didn't find anything strange, so I went downstairs with Master Wang, and stayed with the corpse of this strange old lady in a really panic.
"The ancestors of this village should be the Yin people."
"Passing through the yin?"
Liu Banxian at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain: "Passing through the yin is also called the god or going to the yin, which means passing from the yang to the underworld." ”
"Legend has it that people who can pass through the yin will not cry when they are born, and according to common sense, children who do not cry will not survive, but they can not only survive, but also be much smarter than others, they know when they will die from the beginning of their understanding. The first time a person passes the yin is often unconscious, it happens in his own sleep, this is like a natural reaction of the body to a certain period of development, of course, it is not very certain at a certain age. They remember their dreams very clearly, and they will gradually realize that they are in the shade. The placement of shoes determines the state of life and death of the person who has passed the yin. When passing through the yin, one of the shoes must be turned over, if all of them are corrected, the people who have passed the yin will wake up, if they are all turned over, they will never be able to return to the yang world. ”
"Half-immortal, do you mean that this village was founded by the Yin people?" I was standing alone by the wall with my phone.
"I just saw the feet under the bed, and I felt suspicious, only a yin person would retain such a habit." Liu Banxian at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain sent out several barrages in a row: "Between yin and yang, between yin and yang, the first people who passed through the yin may have been lost here for various reasons, and over time they formed a village and continued the bloodline, most of their descendants should have lost the ability to walk through the yin, but it is not excluded that some people are talented, such as the disfigured girl before, she is likely to be the only remaining yin person in this village, and she can freely walk between yin and yang." ”
Liu Banxian's analysis is not unreasonable, if this village was founded by the descendants of the Yin people, then it can also explain why there is a custom in the village where the living and the dead live in one family, and open the door to put the coffin in the empty building.
Here, the lines between life and death are blurred.
"This is the weirdest village I've ever seen, so let's stay here. I don't think much about optional missions or anything, if only I could save my life. "One glance at Wang Shi and Feng Minglong, just because the three of us have no ability to fight against the entire village.
Looking out along the door of the stone building, some lights suddenly lit up in the dark village, and sporadically, some of the stone buildings and earthen houses were lit with white wax.
"What is this doing?"
The dirt road that runs north and south through the village is illuminated by these candles, and the flames sway in the gloomy wind, elongating the shadows of the houses.
It didn't take long for the sound of suona to come from the entrance of the village, which was extremely sad.
And the sound of suona is just the beginning, like a signal, and the sound of gongs and drums gradually sounds.
"This is what Lushan said about welcoming God." I stood sideways in the house to avoid being seen, and with the help of my judgmental eyes, I looked at the people at the entrance of the village.
Suona, noisy music, gongs and drums, a few people in wide colorful robes blow and blow and walk at the front of the team, all of them wearing paper masks, painted baby faces, and exaggerated movements, as if they are dancing.
"Dressed so brightly, as if holding a wedding banquet, but the music played is poignant and scary, and it seems to be mourning, I don't understand, I really don't understand." Wang Shi hid on the other side of the door frame: "Do you two see anything famous?" ”
"Why do you care so much, maybe it's the local customs, I said you two can't stay in the house honestly? If we are discovered, wouldn't we be caught by someone to live up to the kindness of the Lushan family to us? Feng Minglong stood behind me, poking his head out from time to time, curious about what was happening outside, but also worried about himself being exposed.
"Don't make a noise, wait and see."
The procession at the entrance of the village moved, banging gongs and drums in front to open the way, and in the middle were four middle-aged men carrying a special sedan chair, among which the man who was originally sitting at the entrance of the hall in the stone building was among them, although he was also wearing a mask, but his special handmade clothes I still recognized at a glance.
The sedan chair is not big, there is no one inside, the whole body of the sedan chair is covered with red embroidered velvet cloth, painted with the picture of eight immortals, the top of the sedan chair is embroidered with two big dragons, the top is covered with a large net of hemp rope, and the middle of the sedan top is decorated with a long section of white silk.
"A red and white sedan chair?" I have never seen such a strange sedan chair, in the past, the countryside was married in a big red sedan chair, begging for good luck, this red and white sedan chair looks really weird.
I stretched my phone out of the door obliquely and looked down at the live broadcast room: "Half immortal, this sedan chair is empty and no one is sitting, the big infrared cover, but the top is wrapped with white silk, who do you say they are going to sit in this sedan chair?" ”
Liu Banxian at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain: "Wearing red and hanging white, this is called a soul sedan chair, the customs are different in various places, I can't guess at will, I can only be sure of one thing, this sedan chair is definitely not for people to sit on." ”
I nodded silently, and remembered the word Lu Shan had said before in my mind - welcoming God.
"There are double-faced Buddha statues in the stone building, if every household is like this, then the god they welcome should not be the double-faced Buddha, right?" I was taken aback by my own speculation, in my impression that the Double-Faced Buddha was at the same level as the Black Hand of the Netherworld, far from being something I could deal with now.
"It's not easy to do, assuming that all the people in the village are followers of the Two-Faced Buddha, once I show up, not only will my identity be recognized, but I will also be besieged by the whole village." This village is strange and unpredictable, I am not familiar with the place, and if I really want to conflict with them, I must be the one who suffers.
"It seems that you have to keep a low profile, and your identity must not be exposed." I was a little glad that I didn't break the double-faced Buddha statue just now for the sake of points, so I took a step back, my body hiding in the shadows, and only watching the team outside with the help of my phone screen.
"The people in the village want to welcome the gods on this day, and Lu Xing also happened to get on the bus on this day, he was originally a person from this village? Or did he receive an order from the Double-Faced Buddha and came over to cooperate with the villagers to complete the ceremony? "When it comes to the level of the Double-faced Buddha, his vision is different from that of the ordinary, and the things that are arranged casually are of great significance, not to mention that he did not hesitate to sacrifice so many disabled believers in order to be able to send Luxing here.
The procession of villagers slowly approached, beating gongs and drums, but the people accompanying them were all wearing masks, and no one spoke, and no expressions on their faces could be seen.
"This group of people is really scary." Feng Minglong muttered in a low voice, and he didn't blame him for having such a reaction, the dirt road was dark, and there were buildings with ajar doors on both sides, and white ash was lit every few meters, and the firelight was reflected on the faces of the paper dolls who were crying and laughing, as if a hundred ghosts were walking at night.
The procession soon passed in front of the stone building, and the three of us outsiders did not dare to come out and hid in the house.
Wait until the sound of suona drifts far away, and we dare to show our heads to watch.
"Far away, huh?" Wang Shi was the first to poke his head out, and when his body was halfway out, he froze.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Minglong and I also looked outside, and we happened to see a child in the middle of the dirt road, looking directly at the three of us.
"Found, discovered!"
The kid was only knee-high as me, and his little face was completely encased in a paper figure mask, so I couldn't see his expression, only the strange patterns drawn on the paper figure's face.
"He seems to be smiling?"
None of the three of us had any ideas, and the child who had fallen behind was a complete accident.
The greeting team gradually walked away, and the children looked at us for a long time with paper faces, and instead of shouting or making noise, they ran up and chased the long line in front.
"A false alarm." Feng Minglong breathed a sigh of relief and hid in the room with his back against the wall, while Master Wang and I had gloomy eyes, and there was a little bad premonition in our hearts.
