Chinese culture pays attention to a heritage, what we encounter today, in ancient times we will be able to find clues to corroborate, although there are true and false in mythological stories, but they are not all empty groundless, can only be said to be slightly exaggerated.

Some people say that the dragon is just a cultural totem, is a kind of creature that people fantasize, so why is it in the era when there is no other world across the sea, Europe has dragon ribs and wings, and the east has a dragon Shi Yun Buyu?

Is this a coincidence?

There are pyramids in Egypt, pyramids in Maya, Aztec pyramids in Mexico, and the tombs of the Tangut kings in the east. Many things can be so strikingly similar across oceans and seas, but they can be so strikingly similar, so can it explain something from the side?

Buddhists believe in hell and Taoism believe in the underworld, but before the two merge, where should they go after death in people's hearts? What was it like when the yin-yang structure as it is now known was so comprehensive, and people had a long history of reverence for death?

In fact, before the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism, the only spiritual master in this land was Wu, and Wu believed that after death, the body and soul would be transformed with the death of life, or a kind of transformation.

Like the great god Pangu, his body was dissolved between heaven and earth, the breath exhaled from his mouth turned into clouds, his voice became thunder, his left eye returned to the sun, his right eye returned to the moon, his hair and beard became stars in the night sky, and his body became the four poles of east, west, south and north and the three mountains and five mountains.

Blood flows into rivers, veins become roads, muscles become farmland, teeth, bones, and bone marrow become underground deposits, skin and hair become plants and trees on the earth, sweat becomes rain and dew, internal organs become dust, and only the soul gains eternal life.

Wu believes that after the death of a person. People's corpses must go through natural decay, and this natural decay process is a process of wisdom to the gods, in this process, Wu believes that corruption is going through the purgatory test of the gods, and only a person who is completely corrupted can say that the gods allow the soul of this person to be immortalized.

Therefore, these eighteen gates are also called the eighteen purgatory, and entering through the Yin Gate means that the person has died, and the body has been removed through the eighteen purgatory, and only one of the eighteen gates of purgatory is the door of life, that is, the door of the soul to obtain eternal life. So this should be built before the Tang Dynasty. A place of sacrifice for the ascending of the dead. Chen Blind threw away the cigarette butt and spit out the smoke ring.

The sea listened to the clouds and quickly asked, "Then what does this have to do with those demon guards?" ”

"There was a saying at the time that when people and animals died, they had three days to use as food for other creatures, which was called sacrifice. And as soon as the three days are over, eighteen youkai will come to devour the corpse, and each of them will eat only the part they like to eat, or they can be said to have their own division of labor.

If you devour this corpse clean. Then this person is a devout believer, and the great god will use this as a medium to withdraw the body, and the soul can be truly immortal. If one of the eighteen youkai did not gnaw away from its parts, then it means that this person was not religious. Or have a bad character.

The god just wouldn't accept this man's body, so that his soul would be imprisoned in this ruined body forever and spurned by men. And these eighteen monsters were later rumored to be in charge of the eighteenth layer of purgatory, also known as the demon guard," Chen Blind said, and took a second cigarette from Rowan and lit it.

Luo Wen's eyes rolled: "So to speak." It was actually a place of sacrifice, and it was built by a witch, and when someone died, they were carried in through this gate. Go through the so-called birth gate, and then enter it to wait for the corpse to decompose and digest, so that the deceased will live forever. ”

Blind Chen nodded: "That's right, but this is not where the common people are qualified to come, such a big battle, this should be the first-class place for the tribal king to ascend to heaven at that time."

"Isn't this still a cemetery, then?" The sea sneered.

Chen Blind took a sip and said, "You know a fart!" There is no corpse here, and there are no burial goods, what kind of cemetery is it? To put it bluntly, this is the crematorium at that time, except that it is not cremated, but waiting for natural decay. ”

"Then the one we met just now was the demon guard?" Fang Yu confirmed.

Blind Chen nodded: "What you see is Pantuo, and what you see when you meet the sea is the sun."

"Second uncle, what did you see?" The sea asked, scratching his buttocks.

Blind Chen glanced at him and said, "Oiran of the Past Death"

After saying this, the monkey was trembling, and his face became extremely bad again, but Chen Blind didn't say much, and the monkey didn't talk about it, no one knew what was going on, but judging from the monkey's face, the deceased Oiran must be very difficult to deal with, and Chen Blind must have brushed the wall with its blood.

Luo Wen glanced at the twelve doors and said: "There are a total of twelve doors here, which means that there are still six doors that have not been excavated, if it is really according to what the second uncle said, with the Yongdao here, can I say that this is actually a sacrificial place that has not been completed?" ”

Chen blindly flicked the ash of his cigarette and said, "That's what I guessed, at least judging from the current situation." And there are also true and false among these demon guards, the Panda you and Xiao Yu met is fake, Panda is a kind of big leech with a body length of more than five meters, although it is a human face but not a human head, sucking human blood but not eating human flesh.

Obviously, the Pada that you met was forged by someone in the same way as the Pada was, and if it was really Padah, the two of you would not have survived at all. Zulong and the two of them met the day of the day is true, according to legend, the day of the day loves to eat human eyes, so the birth of a hundred eyes in the body.

But because of greed, he often felt that there were too few dead people to eat, so he often disguised himself as an adult to enter the walled city, and in the middle of the night he would gouge out people's eyes to eat, which was considered brutal among the eighteen beasts. It is also said that the eyes of the blind are dug out on this day, and people call me Chen Blind, according to the old saying that I have revealed too much heavenly opportunity, and after I am old, it is by this day that I gouge out my eyes and punish them. Zu Long, you should know this thing, right? ”

Zu Long was originally squatting on the ground as if he had something on his mind, but after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Zhilu Dao, my grandfather is the one who killed him every day."

After saying this, except for Luo Wen and Chen Blind, everyone was taken aback!

Zu Long's grandfather was born in a family of magic, because of the family history, so all kinds of magic are handy, he is the same as Zu Long, very obsessed with flying knives, and obsessed with self-extrication, with his own skills. I gradually found that there was almost no opponent in the world for flying knives, so I remembered a monster, that is, the sun.

Not only can he imitate people, but he can even copy everything of the other party like a mirror, which is not a big skill, but in the eyes of Zulong's grandfather, this is an excellent opponent, and it is a touchstone to test whether he can surpass himself!

Zulong's grandfather worked hard to find a Chew Ri, and lived close to this Chew Sun for nearly half a year, fighting with Gou Ri almost every day. However, it was only between the two of them, which greatly annoyed Zulong's grandfather, because he had always believed that he had the ability to surpass himself.

But one day, when Zu Long's father went to the place where Zu Long's grandfather practiced, he found that Zu Long's grandfather had 37 knives in his body, whether it was knives or techniques, all of them were from Zu Long's grandfather's own hands, and these 37 knives were the three souls and seven spirits chasing stickers that Zu Long's grandfather relied on to become famous!

The sea hugged Zulong: "Come on!" Don't fucking be sad. When this mess is finished, my brother will accompany you to kill all his grandmother in this world, and then avenge our grandfather! ”

Zu Long's wound from being hugged by the sea hurt straight, but he didn't break free no matter how he moved.

And when they arrived, the congregation was almost rested. The crowd looked at the huge domed hall and intended to move on. The sea supported the ancestral dragon, and Rowan threw away his battle backpack and carried the ancestral dragon's bag on his back. The crowd began to walk towards the huge round flower bed that Rowan had seen earlier.

As you walk, you can find a large number of corpses on the ground, some of which are very old, and only one skeleton remains. Some were quite fresh, and judging from the corpses, they had died no more than thirty-six hours.

Among them, there are also a large number of severed limbs, internal organs and minced meat are also everywhere, and the dried blood stains of the large beach have formed a lot of drag marks on the ground, some of which can be seen to be pulled by people, and some are dragged like wild beasts, which looks extremely bloody.

After not taking a few steps, the monkey suddenly groaned, and then hurriedly squatted next to a human head, looked at the human head with a surprised face, and frowned with his teeth: "How could it be him!" ”

The sea hugged the ancestral dragon and looked lively, stepped forward in two steps, snorted and asked, "Who is this brain?" ”

The monkey looked up at Rowan: "It was he who helped us escape from Harbin"

Luo Wen immediately remembered the Jianghu man Feng Kai said: "That Harbin road fool? ”

Rowan couldn't help but glance at this head, this person is less than forty years old, and his head shape is partial, but there is already a precursor to the top, he should have been a very strong person before his death, and he was well maintained, but now his neck seems to have been torn off by something.

Half of the cervical vertebrae were exposed under the skull, the eyes were round, the face had long been bloodless, blue-gray, and it seemed to have been poisoned, the lips were a little purple, and the blood on the ground could not be seen whether it was red or black because of coagulation.

The monkey nodded: "That's him." called Zhong Xingtao, listening to Xing Song's words, this person has been buried in Harbin for half his life, as if he was given some task, but he has not completed it, and then he is no longer in touch like an outcast.

And this Zhong Xingtao is also very powerful, he started with 500 yuan in Harbin, from the game hall to the sauna, and from the sauna to the hotel, and later from the hotel to investment in real estate development, has been smooth sailing.

Later, he was severely beaten up, because he had been involved in crime before, so he was sentenced to five years. After being released from prison, he did his duty to do his job, and he was a little unsavory behind his back, and he made a comeback within a few years."

"This time Xing Song fell into Harbin, and when he was desperate, Sima Yun remembered such a person, and he was afraid that he would sell himself, but I really underestimated the loyalty of the Zhong family, this Zhong Xingtao took out all the family's savings, and ran away with Xing Song with cash," the monkey said.

Blind Chen sneered: "Wang Baxin, slave life!" ”

Rowan looked at the head and said, "At least help us prove one thing again, we have come to the right place!" ”

But just as everyone was forming a circle around this human head, they heard Fang Yu suddenly say, "What is this!" (To be continued......)
