Chapter 369: White Stone
"This specific situation, that's it, just three of you?"
Thinking that we had a large army behind, Komugana went to the door and looked at the door and found no one else, so he asked us in surprise??? ? Huoran? Wen?? ???οΌ? ο½?ο½?ο½?? ο½ ?ο½`ο½ο½ο½
"Yes, we are here to fight the front station, and the comrades in the back estimate that it will take a few days to arrive!"
In the face of Komugana's question, I could clearly see that he didn't believe that we only had three people to dare to enter the ancient tomb, and that he was worried about us, so I answered him with a smile.
"No, how dare you three go? We went in and more than a dozen people came out alive, how can the three of you do it? β
As soon as Komugana heard that only the three of us were in the room, he immediately became anxious for us, whether he was sincere or not, he was thinking about us after all.
"Uncle Kemu, don't worry, in fact, we are all prepared, you see this Mr. Zhang Tian is a very powerful Taoist priest, what about this Mr. Hu Yifei, but he is a special soldier; As for me...... Hit the soy sauce! So ha, you can rest assured! β
When Lin Zi saw that Kemugana was very worried about us, he knew that he was thinking about our safety, so he hurriedly made peace for us, trying to persuade Kemugana.
"Oh? Soy sauce? What do you make soy sauce? The monsters in the ancient tomb don't drink soy sauce! β
Obviously, Komugana didn't understand what Lin Zi meant by beating soy sauce? After listening to Lin Zi's words, he was confused.
"That's it, Uncle Kemu, you still take us to the village to understand the situation, find other people who know, and learn more about it, so that we can take precautions!"
Seeing that Kemugana in front of me was confused by Lin Zi's words, I hurriedly changed the topic and prepared to ask Uncle Kemu to take us to the village first; After all, just listening to him talk about this matter alone here still has limitations for us; So, my idea is to find a few more people to inquire about the situation, and it is best to find one who wants to take us in.
"Okay, okay, then I'll take you to see Lao Shibi, Lao Shibi is the one who has seen that monster with his own eyes!"
After listening to my suggestion, Uncle Kemu no longer bothered about making soy sauce, hurriedly stood up and poured a cup of tea into his glass, and prepared to take us to the village.
The houses of the ancient Qiang people are generally built on the halfway up the mountain, so we walked along the bluestone steps leading to the halfway up the mountain for more than ten minutes before we really entered the village; When I first entered the village, I saw a white stone standing at the door of every house, and there were cow and sheep skulls hanging on the door.
However, after asking Uncle Ke Mu, we understood the reason!
Uncle Kemu told us that they have a very strong custom of worshipping Baishi, but most of them have a lot of similarities with Tibetan customs.
In the hearts of the ancient Qiang people, white is the color of good luck, so they will choose white Hada to offer to their dear friends as gifts.
The snow-capped mountains have become the truly pure and yearning Shangri-La in the minds of every Tibetan, and the whiteness of the snow-capped mountains has created the infinite worship and yearning for white in the hearts of the ancient Qiang people.
In the countryside of the ancient Qiang people, such a custom is popular:
At the beginning of spring, farmers will insert a white stone into their farmland, or a place next to the farmland, or build several white stones to form a simple stone tower, as a prayer platform to bless this year's harvest.
There is a beautiful story about such customs since ancient times:
In ancient times, there was a good place, but the people there lived very poorly. One day, when Agutumba arrived, he learned the reason for poverty and thought about how to get the people of this place out of poverty.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Agutumba called all the people of this place to a flat place, and pretended to know what was going to happen to everyone, and told everyone that there was a white treasure in this place, and finding it would make the people of this place rich.
After listening to Agutumba's words, the people crowded and searched nervously, and finally found a white stone in the earth.
Agu Dunba said to everyone: "This is the treasure of the mother of the land, and if you plant this white stone in the middle of the field, you will definitely get a good harvest." β
Believing this to be the truth, the people began farming, which not only yielded a good harvest in the year, but also lifted the villagers out of poverty. Since then, it has been customary to plant Shiraishi's mother in the middle of the farmland and treat it as the treasure of the land.
In the later period, Baishi was regarded as the embodiment of the gods by the ancient Qiang people, and began to be placed at the door of their homes, not only as a prayer platform, but also as a symbol of the safety of the house.
And the skulls of cattle and sheep hanging at the door of the house are not for decoration of the faΓ§ade, nor for the sake of looking good; It's all about gratitude, for commemoration. The kind-hearted Guqiang people are not only kind to nature and animals, but also passed down from generation to generation, never harming the cattle and sheep that have bred many offspring and made great contributions to their families.
No matter how old the cattle and sheep were, they could not bear to slaughter them, and when they died of old age, the owner asked Shabi to write scriptures on their skulls and hang them high on the door of the house to pray for eternal remembrance.
After entering the village, the people in the village looked at us strangers curiously; Greeting Uncle Kemu in the local dialect, it seems as if he is asking us for identity? Uncle Kemu also responded to them in dialect!
"Uncle Kemu, what are they doing?"
Not long after we had gone further, we suddenly met some young men from the village, led by a quirky-looking girl, not a few years younger than us; When the girl saw Uncle Kemu leading us to the village, she immediately inquired about Uncle Kemu as if she had seen something new; It is worth mentioning that her Mandarin is much more standard than Uncle Kemu.
"Sister, have you caused trouble in the village again? This is an archaeological team sent from the city, you have to be honest! β
Uncle Ke Mu happily touched the head of the quirky girl in front of him and introduced her to our identity.
"Archaeological team? I'm going to check it out too! β
Who knew that after listening to Uncle Kemu's words, the girl aroused her interest, and hurriedly shouted behind us, wanting to go with us to Lao Shibi's house to inquire about the situation.
