After deciding to do this yellow finch according to the plan that Labazi said early tomorrow morning, I carefully asked Lao Shibi about the ancient burial mound!

Old Shibi knew the seriousness of this matter, but it was not as ambiguous as he said when he was in Heishui Village, but seriously told us all the things he saw after entering the ancient tomb more than ten years ago. Burn? Wen??? ??．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｏｒｇ

Old Shabi said that after the village was attacked by monsters, the villagers came to ask him to come forward; As the only Shibi in the village, there was a monster in the village, so he naturally took over the job and took a few villagers to the ancient tomb.

The location of the burial mound is about several kilometers away from the village, and there is a sacred forest in between.

There is still a little bit to say about the origin of this sacred forest!

The sacred forest is an important occasion for the ancient Qiang people to preside over the ceremony and hold the ceremony, and it is also the holy place of the ancient Qiang people. According to the old Shabi, the origin of the Sacred Forest actually comes from an ancient legend!

Legend has it that in ancient times, the earth was wild, and the ancient Qiang people were like a blazing sun on their heads, and their feet were hot on the earth, so the ancient Qiang people pinned their hopes on the heavens, burned incense and prayed, and begged for mercy.

The smoke curled and pierced through the clouds and fog, and finally alarmed the gods in the heavens, and also shook the god Abba Mubita. The Heavenly King then ordered the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to send nine poplar trees, seven willow trees, and three cypress trees in the back garden of the Heavenly Court to the human world to multiply.

At the same time, the god untied the sword at his waist and sent it to the world, standing at the head of the Qiang village, and then the sword was transformed into a tall cage, and since then he has shouldered the mission of transmitting the information of each family and protecting the safety of the Qiang people.

Since then, there has been a flourishing scene of lush forests, birds singing and flowers, and prosperity in all industries in the Qiang area, and the Qiang people have also lived an auspicious and peaceful life.

In order to thank the god of the forest, the Qiang people revered the tree god as the god of the forest and the god of life.

In the Qiang area, there is still a popular ancient song of the Qiang nationality that "the top is big and the top is heaven and earth, and the god forest is lined up behind heaven and earth", which shows the sacred status of the god forest in the minds of the Qiang people.

Historically, each village in the Qiang District has its own "sacred forest", and the annual mountain sacrifice ceremony on the Qiang village must be held in the sacred forest.

At that time, in addition to inserting white paper-cuts all over the village, in the middle of the village, and at the end of the village to show holiness, each household will also plant green evergreen branches that symbolize the meaning of life in front of the door. At the same time, each village should also set up a high ancestor worship pile (also known as "welcoming the god tree") at the head of the village.

The branches on the sacrificial pile are distributed in three layers according to nine, seven and three, which is related to the simple "Three Realms View" idea that "there are nine layers in the sky and seven layers in the earth" and "three and mountains" in harmony with the Qiang people, and it is directly related to the Qiang people's gratitude to the gods for blessing the world with "nine poplars, seven willows and three cypresses".

The person who presided over the ceremony also needed to burn cypress incense in advance, avoid eating onions and garlic for a month, and only allowed men to enter the sacred forest and strictly forbidden women to approach the sacred forest.

When the ceremony is held, it is necessary to spray chicken blood, hang the sheep's head and sacrifice to the mountain, sacrifice to the heavens, etc., and at the same time, Shibi also needs to offer the face of the cow and the sheep to the mountains and forests, lead the mountain to turn the mountain, and sing the scriptures, which is to the effect that the power of the sacred forest is boundless, if people do not respect him, the seedlings will not grow, the grains will not be abundant, people and animals are uneasy, if people do not listen to the words of the gods, the sky will fall and fall to the heavens...... Wait a minute!

Therefore, after sacrificing to the mountain, it is necessary to sacrifice the road, and it is strictly forbidden to go to the forest to cut firewood, dig medicine and hunt, in short, the procedure is extremely complicated.

Therefore, the worship of the ancient Qiang people for the sacred forest is deep-rooted at all times, and no one else is allowed to blaspheme.

After talking about the Sacred Forest, let's get down to business, Lao Shibi told us that when he passed through the Divine Forest with a few young and strong young men that day, he met a tall red-haired monkey in the Sacred Forest, with a human face, but the nose was red, with two fangs, and it looked very fierce.

The monkey didn't know where it came from? He is actually stealing the sacrifices on the ancestral stake of the Divine Forest!

How dare you steal the offerings on the ancestral stake? Old Shabi naturally couldn't let it get his wish, and hurriedly gathered a few young people to chase after the monkey; But the monkey ghost goblin, seeing that Lao Shibi was chasing after them, picked up a stick and imitated a few people, and a young man who was traveling with him was accidentally broken by the red-haired monkey with a stick.

But even so, the red-haired monkey was not much better, and was beaten by Lao Shibi and several other villagers with the same sticks, and ran away screaming.

Originally, Lao Shibi thought that this was a small episode, and it would be nothing if the wild monkeys ran away! So one man was left to send the young man with the broken head back to the village, and he took the others to the burial mound. But as everyone knows, the monkey has a very strong revenge mentality, and has already followed them.

The entrance to the ancient tomb is a house made of stones, and inside the house is a shaft, under which are the tombs of the ancestors of the ancient Qiang people who are really buried, and the old people in the village will scatter their ashes into this shaft after they die, in order to pray for the protection of the immortals.

But Lao Shi had already brought ropes and other things with them, and after tying the ropes at the mouth of the well, he took the two men down the well; As for the other four, they stayed outside the shaft, and when Lao Shibi was about to come up, they could pull the rope up in time.

Old Shibi and two other villagers soon went down to the bottom of the well; But when he got to the bottom of the well, he discovered a strange phenomenon!

The ashes of the ancestors who had been poured into the bottom of the well for hundreds of years to pray for blessings were all gone, and the bluestone floor at the bottom of the well was as smooth as new.

Although the disappearance of the ashes made Lao Shibi a little strange, Lao Shibi's purpose was to find the man-eating monster, so he didn't care so much at that time, but took the other two people to the depths of the ancient tomb.

According to Lao Shibi, after going down the shaft, the bottom of the shaft is a tunnel about twenty or thirty meters long; There are still a lot of gnawed clean bones in the corridor, both human and animal.

Such a discovery made Lao Shibi even more sure that the monster that was causing trouble in the village was hidden in the ancient tomb. It's just that Lao Shibi didn't expect it. Before they could step out of the corridor, there was a roar from the other side of the corridor.

This beast is really the same as its name, and it screams with a whooping sound!

Obviously, the monster hiding at the other end of the corridor has smelled the breath of the living and appeared at the other end of the corridor!

Lao Shibi fixed his eyes and saw that the monster that came out of the other end of the road had a bull's head, four horns on its head, and a thick layer of black hair on its body.

Moreover, the monster actually walked upright, and if you ignore the four horns, it does look like a tall giant in a robe, exactly like the back that the villagers saw that night!
