Chapter 161: Human Sacrifice
"Stinky boy, you are now capable, you dare to question me?" Ding Xiaoshang turned her head and slammed it on my head. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info "What we need to consider now is where to dig first, rather than the question of whether to dig or not, do you understand?" ”
"From which to dig up? What do you mean, co-authoring it one by one? "I asked incredulously, this large piece of tomb, even with an excavator, has to be dug in a day, not to mention that we are bare-handed, one person only takes a shovel, that can be dug to a good monkey year and horse month.
"What? Are you cowardly? Ding Xiaoshang looked at me with disdain and said.
"Yes!" I nodded and looked at Ding Xiaosheng, "I guess if we don't dig out any of them, we will be arrested by the villagers, and then we will be given the high hat of a tomb robber, I can't afford it!" ”
"You're also talking nonsense, I'll let you count now how many tombs there are here. How are they distributed, and are there any rules! Ding Xiaoshang said impatiently.
I swept my eyes and said nonchalantly, "There is a leading grave in front, followed by a group of tomb pawns!" ”
"You see that, too?" Ding Xiaoshang looked at me in surprise and said.
"See what? Isn't it all here? Isn't the front of a tomb here the same as a leader at the front of the team! The tombs behind are neatly arranged, although the arrangement is not very neat, but it is always behind it! "I have no intention of saying it.
"You're right this time, but it's not all right, I think this is an ancient tomb array!" Ding Xiaoshang looked at me and said.
"Tomb Array? What is Tomb Circle? I was puzzled and asked, how can this burial tomb still be so exquisite? It's a real hassle.
"It's a formation of ancient tombs, and to put it simply, these tombs are not tombs in our traditional sense. Our traditional tomb is generally a person buried under the tomb, or two people. And there may be no burial under this tomb, and it is empty underneath. Ding Xiaoshang explained to me while observing the cemetery.
"What do you mean, there's nothing under each of these graves, and they're just mounds of dirt?" I asked incredulously.
"I'm just saying it's possible, it's possible that there is one person buried under two or three graves, or there is only one person buried under so many graves! The purpose is to prevent tomb robbers from digging graves, so the ancient tomb array is deliberately created! ”
"These seem to be some ordinary tombs, how can it be that they are buried with dignitaries? Besides, even if it is a buried dignitary, what are you afraid of when people die! I said disapprerovingly.
"It may also be that they are not dignitaries, but just some high-ranking people who are willing to hide. I didn't want to be disturbed, so I chose this place to settle down. Ding Xiaoshang said.
"Is that any trouble? Even if you are an outdoor master, you must be like money and dung, so you won't be afraid of any tomb robbers! ”
"But whoever is buried here, why don't their descendants come and pay their respects? Let them be abandoned here for ten thousand years, and be impoverished in the underworld? "I still can't understand what Ding Xiaoshang said.
"If you don't like to hear something, the people in your village may be the living sacrifices of these dead people!" Ding Xiaoshang looked at me and said faintly, this big night, I said such scary things.
"How is that possible?" I quickly waved my hand in denial, I didn't want to admit that I was also a victim of this dead man.
"How could it not be? Come, come, come and see the layout of your village. Basically, this cemetery is surrounded, dare to ask which of you households does not fire for cooking, which family does not build a tall chimney? Therefore, the existence of your village is to protect this cemetery, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing for generations, you know? Ding Xiaoshang's words really shocked me, and I can't deny that Ding Xiaoshang's words make sense. For so many years, the people of the village almost never moved out, and for generations they lived in this poor rural area.
"How's that, it scared you, didn't you?" Ding Xiaoshang said to me with a smile.
"So what? Even if, as you say, we are a living sacrifice, what should we do? I said with some displeasure.
"Of course, you may not be included here!" Ding Xiaoshang changed his words and said.
"Why not me?" I was even more skeptical.
"Because, you don't belong here! You, like Guan Xiaomeng, don't belong here, otherwise you wouldn't be able to leave this village at all! Ding Xiaoshang looked at me and said.
"Even if they are guarding, then let them continue to guard, why do you dig them out? It would be nice to let them live in peace, maybe that's the mission of the people in the village! "I looked at Ding Xiaoshang and said, in fact, even if Ding Xiaoshang said so much, I still don't want to let him announce this huge secret to the public, after all, it doesn't belong to me, it doesn't belong to the past, and it doesn't belong to the future.
"You don't understand, I told you, and you won't understand." Ding Xiaosheng's face was embarrassed.
"How do you know I won't understand if you don't say it?"
"Servility, this is servility! Are you willing to let your children and grandchildren, their ancestors, their lives and deaths, become living sacrifices for others? How is this different from a slave society? Ding Xiaoshang looked at me indignantly and said.
"Even so, to be their slaves, they themselves pleased. Here, they live like a paradise, free from the world, clean and pure. Isn't it good for children to thrive and old people to take care of themselves? "I don't want to admit any servility, I just know that they have been here for generations, safe and peaceful.
"Look up around you, how many of you are living peacefully? The longevity of the village chief's family is about to die, the people in Zhang Laowei's family are dead, and the women in the village are almost harmed by the little wind. And your grandfather, your grandfather's whereabouts are still unknown, even ......" Ding Xiaoshang wanted to speak again, then turned around and said: "Until now, do you still stubbornly think that this place is very peaceful?" Do you still think it's a paradise? ”
"Or even what?" I feel that there must be another reason that made Ding Xiaoshang uneasy and made her determined to dig the grave.
"Nothing? It was not early, and the villagers had already gotten up one after another, and the chimney had begun to smoke. Suddenly, Ding Xiaoshang ran forward a few steps, and then shouted: "This is the first incense stick of the morning that your slaves gave you, worship you, get up and eat!" ”
After a while, Ding Xiaoshang turned his head to look at the white sun in the east and said, "Let's go, let's go back!" Since you don't want to, I won't force you! Then he left on his own.
