Chapter 80: The Mask
Welcome to Guanshu Network:
Zhuo Laohan was forced to be helpless, and he was extra careful at every step, which provoked Mochizuki Yimu to yell behind him: "Mr. Zhuo, please hurry up." After speaking, there was a "click" sound of the bolt pulling, and Zhuo Laohan jumped onto the boat with an arrow step.
Carrying the spotlight, Zhuo Laohan turned his head several times and didn't dare to look at it, every time he turned around, it was a bright steel knife and a submachine gun, he cursed this group of little Japanese ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, and he was still chanting that it was not that I was unfilial, it was those miscellaneous things that forced me to do it, you must blame me.
The canopy of the ship had been opened, and the old man glanced at it, and there was a corpse inside! Although he was prepared in his heart, he was still frightened by the awakening in front of him and took a step back, Mochizuki saw Zhuo Laohan's reaction, thinking that there was another beast inside, so he raised the mp5 and prepared to shoot, shouting: "Mr. Zhuo, what's in it?" ”
"Alone."
"People? Dead people? ”。
"Dead Man's ......"
A stone fell to the ground in Mochizuki's heart, so he put away the guy and beckoned the Momoei sisters to board the ship together. As soon as he walked over, he tore away Zhuo Laohan, took a look at the lantern, obediently, it was really not a simple boat, and shouted loudly: "Chinese mummy!" ”
The ship was basically the same as previously speculated, it was a corpse ship, that is, a form of water burial, where people were buried on the boat and floated in the water. Water burial is the oldest burial method in the world, that is, the burial method of throwing the body of the deceased into rivers, lakes and seas. Water is the source of human life, and people place their yearning and reverie on water for infinite beauty. In many myths, water is associated with gods, happiness, beauty, and immortality. Therefore, when burying deceased relatives, people naturally think of water burial. There are generally three different ways of water burial in the world: the floating corpse type, the river throwing type, and the ash scattering type.
The 'Snow Cypress' boat in front of you is the drifting corpse type, this way of Tibetan method is mostly seen in the ancient Himalayas, most of the people who use this Tibetan method are some people who have made significant contributions to the tribe, such as the death of tribal heroes, the use of the corpse type is to put the dead body in a specially made death boat, put it into the water, and let it drift naturally. Wherever you drift, there is a beautiful destination for the dead.
If ordinary people want to be buried in water, most of them are in the other two forms, scattering ashes, that is, the dead are burned into ashes, and the ashes are scattered into rivers, lakes and seas; As for the corpse throwing method, it is mainly in Ganzi, Sichuan, and some grassland areas of the Tibetan people due to lack of fuel, except for the serf owners to practice cremation and sky burial, the general people are buried by water. There are fixed places for water burials, mostly located in the rapids of rivers, and feng shui has been visited by special people. When a person dies, he is to immediately cut a knife on the waist of the deceased, and then tie his head and feet together, put him in his back pocket head and foot up, and hang a black cloth on his mouth, and be carried and thrown into the river on the same day. The family of the deceased hung a mani flag at the gate, and the funeral ended simply and clearly.
Those who are particular about it are parked at home for one to three days, light a butter lamp, ask the lama to recite sutras to overtake the soul, and then transport the body to the water burial ground, where the person who will bury the body will either bend and tie the limbs, tie a large stone to the chest and sink into the water, or use a knife and axe to cut off the body and throw it into the water.
The person in the 'Cedar' ship in front of him doesn't seem to be a simple character, but fortunately, the Cedar itself has an antiseptic effect, and the outfit on this corpse is almost still the same as when it was buried, which can move Mochizuki must really have its own merits.
The man lying inside is wearing a mask! And this mask is all made of gold, under the illumination of the light, the gold shines, the color is very brilliant, the nose of the mask is very full, the lips are broad, the two huge ears are spread outward, out of proportion to the entire mask, the nose and mouth are painted with black oil paint, which reminds Mochizuki of the golden mask of the Egyptian pharaoh for the first time.
On top of the mask, a gorgeous flower crown is inlaid with various colored gemstones, which is dazzling, and it is already a rare national treasure from the perspective of shape alone. This person is wearing a white robe outside, the texture is very delicate, very similar to silk products, it can really be described as thin as cicada wings, holding a bronze piece in his left hand, a copper bell in his right hand, and what is even more amazing is that there is a golden belt around his waist, which is depicted with some patterns. Mochizuki looked closely, and there were three things in his sight: fish, arrows, and birds, and they were repeated in this order. Both the workmanship and the skill of depiction are rare masterpieces, no wonder he sees this person as a mummy, and indeed a bit like it.
From the first time he saw this corpse, Kazuki Mochizuki was fascinated by his mask and wanted to open it. He was about to uncover the golden mask, ready to see the true face of the Chinese pharaoh.
With a little excitement and anticipation, Mochizuki's smile was very weird, his body was half lying on the canopy, and his head was almost about to put on the mask, so he slowly stretched out his hand, and was about to take it off, and the rosary Hengjimaru sword scabbard in Momoi Chiyo's hand was blocked, which happened to stop Mochizuki's hand. Then, Mochizuki was dragged out of the canopy, and it was Chiyuki who shot.
Mochizuki left the canopy, shook his head vigorously, and asked as if he had just woken up from a dream, "What happened to me just now?" ”
"Master of the family, just now your whole body probed into the ghost ship, and you still want to ......," Qianxue said this, and then closed her mouth.
Mochizuki had cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly asked, "What else do you want?" You said! ”
Qianxue looked up at Mochizuki, bit her lip, and said softly: "I still want to take off that mask, since the head of the family saw the things inside, his whole face has become distorted with a smile, and the ...... in it The appearance of the mask inside is a bit close to ......"
"Bastard! How could I be that ugly look! Mochizuki scolded.
Seeing that Mochizuki was angry, the Momoi sisters knelt down at the same time, Qianxue lowered her head, and half-ranging, Chiyo said: "The head of the house, my sister is right, just now it was indeed as she said, we saw that the head of the house was about to take off the mask, and the whole body was about to go in, so we pulled you out, please forgive the head of the house!" After speaking, he nodded his forehead and waited for Mochizuki to fall.
After listening to Mochizuki, he was also shocked at the moment, he really had no memory of the scene of taking off the mask just now, but when he saw that thing for the first time, there was only one thought in his whole heart, and this thought made him very frightened at the moment, that is, take off the mask and put it on his face!
Thinking back to this, Mochizuki understands that if it weren't for the rescue of the Momoi sisters just now, I'm afraid that I really did that, with a dead man's mask on his face? How disgusting that is to think about.
"Get up, I didn't know how to let that mask fool me just now." While helping the Momoi sisters, Mochizuki turned his head to Zhuo Laohan on the kayak behind him and asked, "You were the first person to see it, did you know that there were ghosts here, and you deliberately led me up?" ”
Zhuo Laohan stopped again and again, his head shook like a rattle, "Mr. Mochizuki, wronged, the old man only glanced at it, and he felt that it was a dead man, and he was about to uncover the mask, but you caught him......"
Mochizuki's heart tightened and asked, "What did you say?" Do you want to unmask? ”
The old man lowered his head, and had to tell the truth: "Since I saw the dead man, the old man's hand can't hold it, and he wants to stretch it inside." ”
Mochizuki interrupted him and interjected, "Do you still want to wear it on your face?" ”
Zhuo Laohan was immediately shocked, "How do you know?" That's it just now. Don't you ...... too?"
Sure enough, Mochizuki said in his heart, this 'Snow Cedar' ship is a ghost ship, first caused the snake to kill all their men, and then it was terrifying, what about the Momoi sisters? They also saw it, and Mochizuki asked again, "Chiyuki, Chiyo, how did you react when you saw it?" ”
Momoi Chiyuki shook her head, "Nothing special. Mochizuki turned his eyes to Chiyo again, and the girl's shoulders moved slightly and he looked at him, "Chiyo, what about you?" ”
"I ...... I didn't see anything special, just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the rosary beads on the hilt of the Tsuneji Pill in my hand are scattered...... "The rosary that has been wrapped around the hilt of the sword has been scattered in her palm at this moment......
