Chapter 245: Antecedents, Processes, and Consequences

Everything in life and death has its own attitudes and ways in the face of life and death. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Those who have a short life: the fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn; Life Elder: Chu Nan Spirit, a season after 500 years.

In ancient times, Tsubaki was 16,000 years old as a year, but even such a divine object would inevitably end up lodging.

This is known as death as repayment.

Human beings are the spirits of all things, and they have their own attitudes and feelings when facing life and death.

In the Central Plains, if a person dies, then his children and friends will come to mourn, shed tears of longing or sadness for him, and finally wait for three days when the body is full, then put on gorgeous clothes for him and put him in a wide coffin.

Then send him to a feng shui treasure that can bless his descendants, see him buried with his own eyes, and wait for the paper money to burn out, and people leave in twos and threes, so that this person's death can be accepted by the people.

Outside the frontier, especially in the culture of a few nomads, burial is not accepted, and more people still choose to go to "sky burial", if that person has children or friends, after his death his children or friends will dismember him and throw his body into the wilderness, let the wild beasts devour him; If the man has no children, no friends, or is terminally ill, then they will take advantage of the fact that they still have some consciousness to bring themselves a full lump of milk and bacon to hang around their waists, and run themselves to the wilderness far away from their tribesmen to wait for death, of course, they will not eat those milk pieces of bacon, but use them to attract beasts and birds to hasten their own death.

The two different ways are the attitudes of the two civilizations towards death, although the two forms are different, but they are both the most pious attitudes towards death, but there are very few clear dividing lines in this world, and some border people are easily affected by the simultaneous influence of the two civilizations.

For example, the villagers living near the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion are robbed by the barbarians who go south almost every year, although the Han people are gradually becoming accustomed to the barbarian lifestyle and attitude in the difficult living environment, and even on the issue of life and death, they have given up the ancient burial and adopted the "sky burial".

But the "sky burial" of the barbarians is different, and the Han people who farm the land for a living can neither take out milk cubes and bacon, nor can they do anything to the corpses of people, so after such a shrinkage, they just throw the corpses of the dead away from the village.

Therefore, a natural disaster or a military disaster is likely to cause most of the people in the village to die, and among these dead people, the good ones can be thrown on the plateau by a broken mat to receive "sky burial", while the vast majority of them are violent corpses on the spot, most of them rot and no one cares.

In fact, whether it is the ground burial of the Han people or the sky burial of the Northern Barbarians, as long as there is a way to appease the souls of the deceased, so that they have a way back, the souls of these victims will also obediently accept the reincarnation of heaven and earth, after all, there are more souls who die with grievances in this world.

But these people who were born at the wrong time, did not encounter the good days of the peaceful world in life, but always encountered the years of war and chaos, ready-made villages are definitely ready-made supply points for the marching troops, plundering and killing on all sides led to the rare existence of people all the way from Chang'an to the northwest border, how can the unarmed people and peasants survive such devastation? .

In the end, the corpses piled up more and more, and the dead who had no way out gathered more and more resentment, and the illusionary ghosts howled between heaven and earth, as if heaven and earth owed them.

This is the so-called cause.

In this way, after more than ten years, the caravan shuttling between the Western Regions and the Central Plains was the first to find that whenever the convoy traveled at night, there were always some figures wandering around the convoy and gathering, and the reason was that they were all "animals" that seemed to be people, but because they were afraid of fire and people, the caravan also compared them to mountain spirits and wild monsters and did not care much.

After a few years, west to the desert and east to Fengxiang, the herdsmen found that a strange monster often took advantage of the night to attack livestock, and the animals injured by it were all drained of blood without exception.

But the next day, the herdsmen were horrified to find that this sturdy herdsman had also been poisoned, and his head was bitten off by an animal, and he was beaten alive.

As a result, all kinds of rumors spread in people's hearts, and a creature called "Yoro" has since been fabricated by people in a serious way, and some people have even described and recorded it in a book, and called them immortal bones and immortal bones, saying that they will come out at night to bite and hurt people, and the only flaw is that they cannot bend over.

After hearing that "Yelang" had such a detailed and detailed "deeds", the whole grassland was already unbelievable, and the poor ignorant herdsmen had removed the original wide camp tents for this reason, and only designed a small camp bag that people could only enter by bending down.

Although it is ridiculous, it is enough to see people's fear of "Yoro".

This is what happened.

Then, as the Central Plains shattered the warlords fought, the nomadic barbarians in the north also took advantage of the fire to loot and plunder the peasants and cities in the border areas again and again.

Over time, many traditions and legends from the north were brought into the lives of the peasants in the frontiers, including the legend of Yoro.

This is the so-called result.

So in such an environment, in Shi Lixun's village, the villagers have actually accepted and recognized the existence of Yelang for a long time, plus they have long had the habit of abandoning dead bodies, and they villagers have also seen "Yelang" in front of the herdsmen. ”

……

The firewood was thrown into the fire, stirring up a string of reddish sparks, and a bright flame fluttered in the night.

The young man lay on the strong man with blurred flesh and blood and cried until he fell asleep, Shi Lixun and the villagers lit a fire on the spot, and sat on the side to quietly observe the hard-working father and son.

"That man died of illness three days ago, so we threw it to the north of the plateau according to the rules...... "The village chief handed Shi Lixun and the others a bowl of hot water, "But who knows, he became Yelang and took other Yelang back to the village chief to hurt people, but fortunately, the generals passed by and saved our village." ”

After drinking hot water, everyone warmed up a lot, and the confusion in the original heart has disappeared.

For Shi Lixun and them, it turned out that the monster or strange person who attacked Shi Lixun and his party before was this kind of deceased who turned into Yelang, and it was no wonder that he was not afraid of slashing and slashing, and he had strange power so difficult.

Shi Lixun stood up and walked straight to the Yelang, and found it lying on the ground, still struggling to open its mouth to bite off a piece of his former son's flesh.

Shi Lixun took out the matching sword and sighed, and the tip of the sword immediately passed through the deceased's head, bringing him back to the peace he should have.
