Wen Qingshan thought that as long as he used money, he could solve it, but Zhang Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "No!" No! This is not something that money can solve, and those who can enter the valley to practice are all high-level people, and they regard money as dung one by one. ”

"And how exactly are we going to get into this valley?" Wen Qingshan asked.

Zhang Qingyuan pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to us: "In this way, I'll inquire first, you wait for my news, and I'll give you an answer the afternoon after tomorrow, how about it!" ”

Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "Okay!" Then there is Brother Lao Qingyuan. ”

Because we had to wait for Zhang Qingyuan's reply, we were idle, and the next day, Wen Qingshan led us to see the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain.

Speaking of the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain, I have heard of it for a long time, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, it is said to be one of the three uniques of Longhu Mountain, and I naturally want to see it.

We rented a bamboo raft in the upper reaches of the Luxi River and went down the river, and it didn't take long to see that the thousand-foot cliffs on both sides of the river were full of large and small natural caves, and some of the caves were faintly placed in the shape of a coffin.

Wen Qingshan introduced to us: "This hanging coffin is a very peculiar burial custom in ancient China, which is distributed in many areas of southern China, and the most famous is the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain. ”

Looking at the caves on the cliff, I said in surprise: "Boss Wen, you said that there are coffins in all those caves?" ”

Wen Qingshan nodded.

"Holy! How did you put it so high!? The cheap couldn't help but exclaim.

Wen Qingshan said: "This is still an unsolved mystery so far, this hanging coffin in Longhu Mountain, there are three unsolved mysteries. ”

"What are the three unsolved mysteries?" I hurriedly asked.

Wen Qingshan replied: "First, why did the ancients adopt this burial custom? Second, who did it? Third, how is the coffin placed on this thousand-foot cliff? ”

"Isn't there a corresponding document about this hanging coffin?"

Wen Qingshan shook his head: "As far as I know, no!" However, I have heard a legend. ”

"What kind of legend?" I asked.

Wen Qingshan looked at me and the cheap, and said slowly: "It is said that in ancient times, there were zombies in this area of Longhu Mountain!" ”

When I heard about zombies, I couldn't help but be surprised: "What!? Longhu Mountain is a holy place of Taoism, and the patriarch Zhang Daoling is a ghost hunter, how can this kind of place be a zombie? ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't know anything about this." In fact, when there were zombies, Longhu Mountain was not a Taoist holy place. Longhu Mountain originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this zombie incident happened in the Spring and Autumn Period 2,600 years ago. ”

"There were zombies more than 2,000 years ago!?" I was even more shocked and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wen Qingshan told the two of us.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the area of Longhu Mountain belonged to the boundary of the Yue Kingdom, when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony in order to fight for the hegemony, and countless soldiers died on the battlefield, because there were not enough coffins, most of the corpses of the soldiers were wrapped in bamboo mats and hastily buried. And at the foot of Longhu Mountain, there is a valley where many soldiers are buried, but not long after, a strange thing happened. The graves of the soldiers who were hastily buried were uncovered by someone, and the bodies were all missing.

At first, people thought it was the work of the tomb robbers, but they didn't understand why the body was stolen along with it. Not long after, a catastrophe struck, the corpses of those missing soldiers appeared in droves, and all of them turned into zombies, zombie soldiers attacked several villages one after another, and those who were attacked by zombies also turned into zombies, and for a while, people were panicked.

At this critical juncture, a master of the Tao stood up, he played a bamboo flute, and the beautiful flute sound came out, and the zombies seemed to be attracted by the sound of the flute, and they all followed him. The master led the zombie group to the bank of the Luxi River and trampled on the water, as if walking on the ground. The zombie swarm followed him into the Luxi River and never climbed out again.

The master solved the zombies, and told the people that the zombie disaster caused the leakage of the evil qi of the earth, so that all the soldiers buried in the ground became zombies, and the only way to prevent similar things from happening again is to put the corpse in a high place after the death of the person, so that it will not be disturbed by the qi of the earth. Therefore, the local people adopted the burial custom of hanging coffins, and gradually passed down.

After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, I was a little surprised and said: "Isn't this Dragon and Tiger Mountain a feng shui spiritual land where the tiger is in the dragon pan, how can there be earth yin and evil qi?" ”

Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe, I'm not very good at feng shui, and I don't know why. But then again, it's just folklore, and you don't have to take it seriously. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the river worker who was holding the bamboo raft turned his head and said, "This is not a legend, it is true!" ”

We were all slightly stunned, and Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked, "This master, how do you say this?" ”

The river worker said very mysteriously: "The place where the zombies went down to the river was called Shen Zombie Bay, the undercurrent in that place was turbulent, the water was unfathomable, and there were water ghosts in the water, it is said that the zombies who sank to the bottom of the river became the ones who sank to the bottom of the river, if they were dragged by the water ghosts, even if you were good at the water, you would definitely die." ”

As soon as I heard the river workers mention water ghosts, I immediately felt that it was not reliable, after all, the legends about water ghosts are so common, almost everywhere, as long as someone is drowning, there will be rumors of water ghosts.

When the river worker saw that we did not believe us, he immediately said, "You think I am hearsay!" I tell you, I saw it with my own eyes! ”

"You've seen a water ghost with your own eyes!?" We were all taken aback by the words of the river workers.

The river worker nodded and said, "I only heard that there were water ghosts in Shen Zombie Bay, but I never went there, because that place was too dangerous, and I rarely went there. But just about a year ago, around the time of the winter solstice, there were two tourists who had to go to Shen Zombie Bay to have a look, and I didn't want to go, because the water there was too deep for the bamboo poles to hold up to the end, so I had to use oars, which were not easy to use on this bamboo raft. But I couldn't resist the temptation of three times the price, so I led them there, and when they got there, two tourists actually changed into diving suits and jumped into the river. ”

"They also changed into wetsuits?" Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned.

"yes!"

"What are they doing jumping into the river?" Wen Qingshan asked.

The river worker shook his head and said, "I don't know what it's for!" If you want to talk about swimming, what is there to swim in this cold weather, and it doesn't look like there is any problem with their brains, so I thought maybe they were playing extreme sports. ”

Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "No! I don't think they're playing extreme sports, they're going into the water to catch something. ”

"Fishing for something?" He Gong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I don't care if they play extreme sports or go into the water to catch something!" It's not what they do, it's what happens after they get into the water. ”

"What happened after you got into the water?" I hurriedly asked.

"After they got into the water, they asked me to park the bamboo raft on the river and wait for them, I waited for about 20 minutes, and finally a person came out, this person grabbed the bamboo raft and quickly climbed up, looking very panicked, who knew that his upper body just came up, and his body suddenly sank down, as if something was pulling him hard below, I didn't think much about it at the time, so I hurried over to pull him, who knew that I walked over and looked, and actually saw that his feet were being dragged by a pair of big black hands."

"A pair of big hands? Are you sure you see clearly? "I couldn't believe it.

He Gong was a little dissatisfied with my suspicions: "Why does your little brother speak in the same tone as the police!" I saw it so well at the time, I will never forget it in my life. And the strength of those big hands was amazing, at that time my hands had already grabbed the man's arm, I thought I could pull him up, who knew that he was dragged into the water at once, even I was almost dragged into the water. ”

"And what happened to those two people?" Cheap asked from the side.

"So what, missing! I stayed in the Public Security Bureau for several days for this, and my raft support license was revoked for half a year, and I was depressed when I thought about it! The riverworker muttered.

Listening to the tone of his voice, it doesn't look like he's lying, could it be that there are really legendary water ghosts in this river? Out of curiosity, I hurriedly said, "Master, can you take us to Shen Zombie Bay to have a look?" ”

"What!?" When the river worker heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't hurt me, don't say that the scenic spot management committee has a clear requirement that tourists are not allowed to take tourists to that place." Even if I had been allowed to, I wouldn't have gone to that place to kill me! ”

Wen Qingshan immediately said: "As long as you are willing to go, I will give you eight hundred yuan, how about it?" ”

The price of our half-day raft is 100 yuan, which is almost equal to his income for four days.

He Gong seemed to be a little tempted, and was stunned for a while before he said: "It's not a matter of money, the key is ......."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wen Qingshan took out his wallet, took out ten brand-new hundred-yuan bills from it, and handed them to Hegong: "Don't have eight hundred, make up a whole number, just one thousand!" ”

He Gong stared at the banknote in Wen Qingshan's hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, after thinking for a while, he still couldn't resist the temptation of money, he took the banknote and said, "That's okay, I'll take you there, but I have to say it first, you can't go into the water anyway!" ”

Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "Hehe, master, don't worry, on such a cold day, if you go into the water, isn't it equivalent to looking for death!" We just want to go to the legendary Zombie Bay and open our eyes. ”

Assured that we would not go into the water, the rivermen drove us to Dead Bay.
