Chapter 222: Funeral
The feng shui bureau formed by the tomb, all kinds of gloomy and obscure qi are restrained by each other, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, quite wonderful, if it is Geng Jianyang and Yuan Zhongtang, they should be able to see some taste, for Wang Xiaohu, a second hanger in feng shui, it is not easy to see so much, he finally understands the meaning of the big shaman's sentence, Niangniang Village is steep on three sides, and the birds can't fly out, only the steep hillside in front of him has been designed into a huge grave, and there are many live zombies buried below......
What a weird hillside, it's just a hillside, not a netherworld mansion, so you really can't get out? Wang Xiaohu was very unconvinced, decided to give it a try, his eyes locked on a very eye-catching big grave on the top of the mountain, took a deep breath, cheered up his spirits and walked straight up, walking in a straight line, even if there is a grave that is difficult to jump under his feet, he is not taboo, and he walks straight.
Walking and walking, Wang Xiaohu felt wrong, the goal he set, the big grave on the top of the mountain did not become more and more eye-catching because he walked quickly towards the mountain, but there was no change at all, Wang Xiaohu had good physical strength, half an hour, at least he could walk out of the distance of more than three miles, but no matter how he went up and forward, the grave of his positioning mark still did not change at all.
What's even more strange is that as he walks, there is a vague invisible person around him, accompanying him all the time, he is fast, that person will also become faster, he is slow, that person is also slow, like his own shadow, Wang Xiaohu feels inexplicable, I don't understand how it can be like this, is it a ghost hitting the wall?
But what kind of imp dares to cover his eyes in front of Wang Xiaohu? Besides, it's daytime, and the sun is shining. Yang energy is abundant.
Wang Xiaohu decided to ignore the thing next to him, went straight to the gang, and walked for almost an hour. Still Wangshan ran to kill him Wang Xiaohu, nothing changed, and there were still dense graves of different sizes around him, and the wind blew over, blowing the holes in the graves, making a ghostly sound, as if ridiculing his indiscretion.
Wang Xiaohu was a little tired. Stopping to gasp, he felt someone approaching, and he couldn't help but have the hairs on his body stand on end. He calmed his mind for a moment, suddenly turned his head and reached out to grab it behind his back, grabbed someone, and heard a voice: "Oops." It hurts me to death. Let it go! ”
Wang Xiaohu's eyes widened before he turned around, and when he saw that it was the boy standing behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was inexplicably suspicious in his heart, and asked, "What have you been following me for?" ”
"Who's following you, you've been walking in this stupid circle, I think it's funny, just following you. What are you holding me for? The boy looked at Wang Xiaohu unconvinced, and Wang Xiaohu said with a sigh: "Impossible." I've been gone for so long, why can't I see your figure? ”
The boy was scratched by Wang Xiaohu a little painfully, rubbed his arm and bared his teeth and said: "How do I know Lu Dao, I am by your side, why can't you see me?" ”
Wang Xiaohu, who asked the boy, was speechless, silent for a while, seeing that the boy was reluctant to leave with him, it was estimated that yesterday's chocolate was sweet, put down the backpack on his back and took out a piece of chocolate and shook it in front of the boy's eyes, the boy's eyes immediately straightened, looking at the chocolate in Wang Xiaohu's hand, without blinking his eyes.
He won't be able to get out of the village for a while, so Wang Xiaohu needs to know some questions he wonders, is there anything better to coax than a child? Wang Xiaohu smiled and said to the boy, "I don't know what your name is." ”
"My name is Su He, and I'm twelve years old this year." After speaking, he tiptoed to reach the chocolate in Wang Xiaohu's hand.
Wang Xiaohu shook his hand and asked, "You haven't said why you follow me?" ”
"I really didn't follow you, I came to you to see if I could ask for another piece of black food in your hand, that thing is delicious...... I heard that you were here, so I followed, and I saw you going around in circles, sometimes restoring steps, thinking that you were playing a game, so I followed you in circles, I was right in front of you, if you looked up at me, you would see me, but you kept walking with your head down, and circled around the grave in front of you......" Su He's saliva was about to flow out, and his expression was absolutely fake, Wang Xiaohu knew very well the attraction of a piece of chocolate to a twelve-year-old child, not to mention the isolated Su He.
If what Su He said was true, why didn't he feel it? Wang Xiaohu was very puzzled, and he couldn't ask anything no matter how he asked, so he pointed to the dense graves on the hillside and asked, "Who is buried here?" ”
"The people of the village, the people in the village are buried here when they die, and you will be buried here in the future, and I will be buried here when I die."
Su He's words were unlucky, Wang Xiaohu took a sip and asked: "After the dead, are they buried indiscriminately, or is someone determined to be buried in a specific location?" ”
"It's all buried casually, the big shaman has rules, the dead can only be buried here, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to see, the father of the Song family just died that day, you go with me to see it."
Su He was afraid that Wang Xiaohu would not believe it, so he took his hand and walked towards the village, stood at the door of a family in the east of the village, and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Father Risong died this morning, and he should be buried later, you take a good look here, I didn't lie to you." ”
Just died in the morning, the same day out of the funeral, Wang Xiaohu really never heard of this kind of thing, standing at the door to look into the yard, that day Song family of five, that day Song couple a child, and father, father and mother, father died, the mother was crying, that day Song and his mother-in-law were busy working, no one in the village came to help, what is even stranger is that the day of death Song father was tied to a horse in the yard on a stake, the shirt was taken off, exposed to the sun.
This can no longer be described by different national customs, it is simply unheard of, people die as great, no matter which country or nation, after people die, they will pack up their ropes, put on new clothes, and put them in coffins, but look at the Song family that day, they didn't prepare these things at all, and they seemed to be waiting for something.
After a while, Wang Xiaohu saw that the two beautiful girls who were serving the great shaman each held an iron plaque in their hands, and walked in quickly, a bonfire was set up in the courtyard, the iron plaque was opened, and there was an iron rod behind it, and the iron plaque burned all over the body, and one of the women made a brand on the front chest of the corpse, and then the second woman put a brand on the back of the corpse.
It's like branding a mule and a horse, people are dead, and they don't understand what to do with all this? Is it possible to recognize the ancestors in the future and look at the imprint? Wang Xiaohu was very puzzled, the pungent smell and steaming smoke made this small courtyard very gloomy, Wang Xiaohu held back the discomfort in his heart, looked at it carefully, and his heart suddenly moved.
The imprint on the dead person is extremely familiar, the front is the soul seal, the back is the soul seal, all of them are Taoist talismans to seal the soul, the symbol of the soul conjuring, Wang Xiaohu does not understand what is the trace of the Taoist sigil in the village, you must know that the people in the village are all descendants of the Mongolian army and the beauties of various countries, is it possible that there are still Han people? The more Wang Xiaohu thought about it, the more it was like this, otherwise why would all the people here speak Chinese?
But everyone is dead, what are you doing with the conjuring of spirits and the sealing of souls? Wang Xiaohu secretly pinched the trick, silently opened his yin eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were no ghosts around the courtyard that hooked the soul and asked for his life, and there were faint traces of the existence of the yin soul in the corpse, but it seemed that the sealed yin soul was a little obsessed, as if he didn't know what was going on in the road.
That day pine to the father put on a new white linen cloth, with a grass sweep to roll the body, blowing a horn, said to be buried, immediately there are a few neighbors of the neighborhood out to help, carrying the father of the day pine, singing a bleak and sad song, driving a green ox, to the bottom of the hillside, and then put the dead on the back of the ox, let the green ox to the top of the rambling walk, wait until the dead man landed, that day pine and a few men picked up the shovel, dug a deep pit of about two meters, put the dead respectfully into it, and then a small grave bag, That's it, it's so simple and neat that Wang Xiaohu is speechless.
Although simple, but still continue the Mongolian burial customs, the early Mongolian funeral custom is that after the death of a person, the family dismantles the yurt and loads the cart, drives the livestock to live in another place, or loads the deceased on the ox cart, rushes to the predetermined place to drive the ox cart to run, the place where the body falls is the cemetery of the deceased, but not buried, let the wild wolf, eagle, and eat it, this is the shamanic belief. Wolves, or eagles, or vultures, are messengers of the heavens. This is also known as a celestial burial.
But the heavenly burial is not the so-called taking away the soul, but the life of a person to the last of the best, the last of the kind, the body to those visible and invisible creatures. Moreover, shamans should not cry too much after the death of their relatives, because too many tears will merge into an insurmountable river of the soul of the deceased, affecting the path of reincarnation of the deceased.
The simple and casual funeral is different from the sky burial, which surprised Wang Xiaohu, and what surprised Wang Xiaohu even more was that since the funeral was so casual and irregular, how did the huge feng shui puzzle on the hillside come about? Could it be a natural formation? Wang Xiaohu couldn't figure it out, he seemed to have entered a huge strange circle, and suddenly felt that the people of Niangniang Village had been isolated from the world for so many years, and no one had ever walked out of the mountain, it was by no means a simple matter, and there must be a huge secret hidden in it.
If Geng Jianyang and Yuan Zhongtang are here, with their knowledge, they may be able to find out the Mingtang, Wang Xiaohu can only be blind, and now the question in front of him is how to get out of the village, so that the brothers outside know that he is still alive, and whether he is in the village or not? If so, where would it be?
Wang Xiaohu gave the chocolate in his hand to Su He, patted his head and said, "I have something more delicious, you go play first, and come to me after dinner." ”
