Chapter 503: Absurd Legends
I suddenly remembered that Weiyi told me that there is a legend of people coming back from the dead in Yongcun, and he also said that the mastermind behind the scenes was looking for the box while digging in Yongxian County to try his luck, maybe it was because of the legend of Yongcun, Yin Jun met a person behind the scenes, from that person's mouth, I am more sure that the mastermind behind the scenes definitely used the legend of resurrection to brainwash all the people under him, so those people are not afraid of death, and they have always said that they will be resurrected,
It's just that after hearing the news of Luo Feng in Yongcun, my head was confused, and I even felt that Yongcun had nothing to continue to investigate, now that I think about it, I patted my head and made up my mind to calm down, Yin Jun continued, he heard from the villagers that the coffin, in addition to healing the sick, bringing auspiciousness to people, can even resurrect people,
No one can accurately say the legend of the coffin and the resurrection of the dead, when and where it first began to circulate, but the people of Yongcun are convinced of this legend, which can be seen from their long-term worship of the coffin.
However, religion, especially cults, seem to be very easy to do, religious thoughts, so that their believers are convinced of the existence of God, even if it is obviously not effective, believers will only feel that they are not pious enough, and will never question what they believe in, and cults are even more terrifying, their believers are willing to do anything for the sake of what they believe in, even if it is death.
The customs of some places are similar to religion, this is not the first time I have encountered, Gu Man Tong, Xiangxi corpse chasing, Gu art, these things, in fact, are not strictly religion, they can only be classified into the category of culture and customs, but there are countless people who believe in these things,
Now, in Yongxian County, Sichuan Province, I encountered the coffin again, Yin Jun asked in detail, he said, those villagers told him that thousands of years ago, there was an emperor sent people to Yongxian to ask for longevity and resurrection, at that time, all the mountains around Yongxian County had to be mined again,
They returned in vain, but it didn't take long for the emperor to send a second wave of people, and the emperor was convinced that in Sichuan Province, he could seek the treasure of immortality and resurrection, which, according to legend, was left by an immortal, and then wandered into the world, and was buried in the west.
There are even legends that directly explain that such treasures are hidden in Yongxian, my brows are slightly furrowed, since ancient times, such legends, countless, if you go to investigate history, there are many emperors who want to seek immortality, this is proven by historical data, but, about the legend of what immortals, there is no evidence to prove,
Ancient people believed it, but now, it sounds very ridiculous, I asked Yin Jun: "What does the resurrection technique have to do with the coffin?"
Yin Jun looked at me: "Do you remember the legend of the coffin?"
I nodded, the people of Yongcun said that there was an infectious disease spreading in Yongcun at that time, and a person suddenly passed through Yongcun and taught everyone this method of offering coffins, but who that person is, no one knows, whether there is this person or not, and no one is sure, but today Yin Jun heard that someone linked the coffin with the legend of the treasure that the previous emperor begged for death and came back to life.
Some people say that the person who passed through Yongcun to teach everyone to offer coffins is actually the immortal who left the treasure of resurrection from the dead before, I shook my head: "No matter how rich the imagination of the villagers is, they will not link these two ethereal legends together out of thin air for no reason,"
However, Yin Jun told me that the time was too short, and he didn't ask why everyone would associate these two legends, he only inquired, and the villagers said that the coffin can cure diseases and bring good luck to people, mainly because of two reasons, one is that the method of offering the coffin is a prescribed sacrificial activity, and the sacrificial activities and procedures are very important.
The villagers said that the time of each coffin in the villagers' house is fixed, not short, nor long, Yin Jun also heard that in the past few years, someone temporarily went out, so the time to worship the coffin was shorter than the fixed time, and the result was not long after he died, and the coffin must be placed horizontally outside the door of fifty centimeters, the villagers worship the coffin every day, in fact, it is to let the coffin live outside their own door, as for the rest, but there is no requirement,
The person who lies in the coffin because he needs to be treated, except for drinking some water, can not eat food, and the coffin lid can only leave a little gap for the person to breathe, and the coffin lid must not be pushed open during the period from lying in to coming out, as for the length of time lying in the coffin, it generally depends on the condition.
People who are a little less sick have a short time to lie down, and people who are seriously ill have a long time to lie down, as soon as Yin Jun said this, I asked him, over the years, have there been many seriously ill people who have died in coffins, he nodded to me, sure enough, Yin Jun inquired and said that in the past few decades, there have been more than a dozen patients who have died in coffins.
Although there are not many, but there are many of them, people who are already seriously ill lie in the coffin for several days, especially in summer, the condition is easy to worsen, and it is normal to die inside, but the villagers of Yongcun never question whether this method is credible, and the dead person will only be said by the villagers that he must be lying in it and not being honest, and secretly pushing the coffin lid.
This confirms what I said before: superstitious people do not question the authenticity of the gods, but only doubt whether they are pious.
In addition to the fact that the coffin is regarded as a sacrificial activity, but also because of another reason, the villagers will feel that the coffin can cure the disease and bring good luck to people, and this reason is related to the legend of the person's resurrection.
Wang Yazhuo nodded: "It's so heavy, of course it's not made of ordinary materials,"
"The villagers said that the immortal left a treasure that could bring people back from the dead on the mountains around Yongcun, and no one knows which mountain it is, but everyone said that the treasure fed the whole mountain, and the local villagers also believed in the mountain god," Yin Jun continued.
Yin Jun told us that the wood of the coffin was made of the trees of the mountain that had been fed by treasures, and the coffin lid was made of wood on the outside, but in the coffin lid, it was made of stones on the mountain.
"The coffin doesn't look like it's been used for a long time," I replied, Yin Jun's words, there are some contradictions, the coffin doesn't look like it has been used for decades, not even a few years, which shows that the coffin must have been built in recent years, since the wood of the coffin and the stone inside belong to the mountain that is fed by treasures, then the villagers must know which mountain it seems to be.
However, Yin Jun said that no one knows which mountain it is.
Yin Jun's face was expressionless, and he immediately replied to me, saying that in the whole village, I'm afraid only one person knows, because that person is the person in charge of beating the coffin, but the person who beat the coffin never told everyone which mountain the wood and stone came from, so the villagers didn't know.
A villager once asked, but the man only said that the location of the treasure could not be known, and even if he was killed, he would not say, knowing where the wood and stone came from, he might know where the treasure that could bring people back from the dead was hidden.
Wang Yazhuo frowned slightly: "Is the person who made the coffin a great character, why does everyone believe him,"
Yin Jun replied at this time, saying that he was an old man, he was eighty years old this year, he had lived in Yongcun since a long time ago, and he was the highest person in the village, and everyone didn't know what his name was, but everyone respected him very much, calling him a master, and some people even called him a half-immortal, and read the latest chapter of "Murder Taboo Blue Book" for free for the first time. ......
