Chapter 13 Hanging Coffin Cliff Burial

——————————————————————————————————————

I suddenly remembered what Officer Liu told me about Jiang Daolin, although to this day, I still dare not assert who Officer Liu and Zhang Hefang are actually deceiving me (of course, it is also possible that both of them are deceiving me for some purpose), but in Officer Liu's description of me, the image of Jiang Daolin in my mind has been stereotyped. The Jiang Daolin I envisioned before should be the kind of person who is calm and shrewd, and it shouldn't be such a monster soaked in a fish tank in front of me at all.

"Is he Jiang Daolin?" I asked incredulously, "How did he—how did he become like this?" ”

As soon as my words fell, the monster in the fish tank let out a "whoosh" sound, and although the sound was mixed with many strange grunts, I could still feel that it was a sneering sound.

Ryazan looked at me, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You asked him why he became like this?" It's nothing more than curiosity killing cats. ”

Curiosity killed the cat. This is a phrase that Ryazan often puts on his lips, but if I want to believe that the Jiang Daolin in front of me is only because of his curiosity, I can't believe it anyway.

I asked Ryazan again: "Didn't Jiang Daolin disappear twenty years ago, why is he here?" ”

"My Lord Peixi," Ryazan said in his usual tone, "you must firmly believe that in this world, no one will disappear for no reason, unless that person dies, he can only hide for some purpose, you see him as he is now, can he not hide himself?" ”

I looked at the monster in the fish tank again, and said yes, if I became like this, I would choose to hide myself.

"And how the hell did he end up like this?" I asked.

This time, Ryazan did not speak, but the monster in the fish tank said in a hoarse voice: "The task of the superiors." ”

Superior? It dawned on me and asked, "Are you really from that organization?" ”

I don't know why, the monster in the fish tank let out a burst of "coo" laughter when he heard my words, I was confused, I really didn't understand what else could make him laugh so much after a person has become like this. However, I gradually discovered that although his laughter was weird, it was mixed with a lot of helplessness and pain.

Ryazan turned his head to look at him and said, "You should tell you what happened later." ”

The monster smiled wryly again, thought for a long time, and then said, "I...... Hiss...... Really...... Hiss...... I don't know what to say. There are many, many things, but ...... Hiss...... Now I ...... 's thinking is already very confused...... Hiss...... All I can say is that those people ...... Hiss...... They, they're all crazy. ”

I noticed that the monster seemed to be in great pain when he spoke, as if he was struggling with something, and without saying a word, he made a snake-like "hiss" sound from time to time, and I could clearly feel that he was deliberately restraining himself from making that sound, but it was like a person hiccuping, and he couldn't control it at all.

I didn't care much about these details anymore and asked, "They?" Who are you referring to? ”

"Everyone." The monster grunted and said, "Everyone who knows about this is crazy, and there is no normal person...... Hiss...... Including myself...... Hiss...... And, of course, you, your father. ”

As soon as I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and subconsciously thought that when I eavesdropped on Lao Han's conversation, I also heard that Lao Han said that my father was crazy.

"What are you referring to?" I asked.

"Yes, of course...... That one...... Hiss...... That 'man', that big witch. The monster turned over in the tank, and the water in the tank made a disgusting rattling sound.

As far as I know now, the only people who know about that "person" are the Nanwu Group and the mysterious organization affiliated with the government, and there are very few other people, such as me and Liu Zhen and others. However, why did he say that the people who knew the Tao of Lu were crazy? When I learned about it, I was only surprised and incredulous at best, and I couldn't say that I would go crazy, unless, I didn't know all about it.

Without waiting for me to continue to ask questions, the man said to himself: "The world is reincarnated, and the human heart is sinister...... Hiss...... Hehe. ”

I didn't know the message of Lu Dao's words, so I looked at Ryazan, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "The human heart is sinister, and he is right. ”

The monster in the fish tank coughed twice, and I saw a mouthful of disgusting thick phlegm slip from the corner of his mouth into the water in the fish tank, but he didn't care, as if he was completely used to this kind of life.

He thought for a moment, raised his head from the fish tank and said to Ryazan: "You better bring the knife...... Such...... Hiss...... Things will, will be well explained. ”

Ryazan sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I can't stop you if you have to, but I don't want to look at it anymore." ”

After saying that, Ryazan pulled out a short knife from his waist and handed it to the monster in the fish tank. I saw that Ryazan was acting very carefully, and seemed very afraid of touching the guy's body.

The monster took the knife and took it into the water. Suddenly, I noticed that the handle of the knife, which was originally made of black plastic, suddenly had a lot of small bubbles, as if it had been corroded.

I was still wondering what that guy was going to do, but suddenly I saw the guy pick up the knife and slash at his stomach, the depth of the blade into the bone was outrageous, the guy used a slight force, and he actually cut a big hole of more than ten centimeters on his stomach, but, surprisingly, the big mouth did not flow out even a drop of blood. Then, he suddenly put his hand into the knife, and he rolled and groped, as if he was looking for something in his stomach. After a while, the guy pulled a handful of intestines out of his stomach, and then said with a painful face, "I...... Hiss...... There was no blood. ”

At this time, I couldn't control the urge to vomit anymore, I didn't even have the strength to rush out of the room, I just supported the wall with one hand, leaned over and vomited.

Ryazan didn't know where to get a bottle of mineral water and handed it to me, then patted me on the back and said, "My Lord Peixi, how is it, it's exciting enough, to be honest, I couldn't stand it when I saw it for the first time." ”

"Fart!" I almost fell to my knees and yelled, "That guy is fucking sick, doing such a disgusting thing?" ”

"Huh." A hoarse voice came from my back—the monster's voice—"I'm just proving it to you." ”

"What the fuck are you trying to prove?" I don't feel like I'm looking back at him at all.

"Prove that I can't die." When the hoarse voice muttered these words, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. Deng Shi couldn't care if it was disgusting or not, so he turned around and asked loudly, "What did you say?" ”

When I looked back at him, I froze. An extremely strange scene appeared in front of my eyes, only to see the monster churning in the water, and a layer of mucous membranes seemed to retreat from the top and bottom of the body, and the big knife that was still in front of me just now disappeared in an instant, but the blurred and chaotic intestines were still floating in the water of the fish tank.

"What's going on?" I turned to Ryazan and asked.

Ryazan shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "Lord Peixi, don't ask questions about the facts in front of you. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

At this moment, the monster suddenly interjected, "Twenty years ago...... Old Man's Cave ...... Hiss...... Your father quit. ”

"Old man's cave? What old man's hole? ”

"Do you know the way...... Hiss...... Gu Yongguo. ”

I nodded, although I didn't know enough, but because I had looked up a lot of information before, at least some common sense things, I still knew something.

"Hanging coffin...... Hiss...... Cliff burial ......" The monster said in great pain: "There is a legend about the ancient Yong people and snakes, do you know the way? ”

I chuckled in my heart, and all the information related to Gu Yongguo came out in my mind.

Guyong is one of the oldest countries in China since written records, and its civilization is far more advanced than most of the states at that time. Guyong has a completely independent civilization system, the most well-known are two, one is the bronze civilization (when I checked the information, I once found that the bronze civilization of the ancient Yong country is even older than the ancient Dian country, but it has not developed to the peak like the ancient Dian country), and the other is also the culture that has caused countless historians headaches to this day is its unique funeral culture.

Hanging coffin cliff burial has always been spread in southern China, and it is a unique funeral culture of ethnic minorities in southern China in ancient China. Now it is widely seen at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, near Xiangxi and other places, but the hanging coffin cliff burial culture recognized by the historical community originated in the period of the ancient Yongguo Kingdom, but later this unique funeral culture radiated to its surrounding areas.

Hanging coffin cliff burial, undoubtedly, literally understood is that after death, not like the Central Plains to build a tomb or underground palace to place the coffin in the soil, but to place the coffin in a narrow stone cave in the cliff, this is the so-called cliff burial; The hanging coffin refers to the ancient ancestors who drove wooden steel nails into the cliff and hung the coffin on it, which is a hanging coffin.

To this day, people can still see coffins from hundreds of years ago hanging from the cliff face in the south. Some of these coffins are even tens of meters above the ground, and although many experts have made various speculations, it has to be said that to this day, people still have not found an exact way to verify how people actually placed the heavy coffins on the cliffs almost perpendicular to the ground.

At this time, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wouldn't the old man's cave you mean the cliff cave?" ”

The monster nodded, but did not speak.

My heart suddenly brightened, and my heart said that it was not in vain to check the information at home these days, and after a little bit of this monster, I suddenly thought of the so-called old man's cave, and a legend related to the hanging coffin cliff burial.

Old Man's Cave - It is a legend about man and snake.
