Sanda looked at his work card, then continued to cook noodles and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Our village was originally a frontier, and there were really no treasures. However, it is said that the feng shui here is good and there are dragon veins. Many people took up the idea of the dead and dug holes everywhere in search of treasures. It's just that they don't know that most of them are ethnic minorities such as Dai, Yi, and Miao. We are different from the Han people, we don't look at those feng shui. The ancestors did not carry out burials, but cliff burials. ”

"Cliff burial? Could it be that there is also a form of funeral similar to the hanging coffin of a servant? Lao Xu asked.

"Professor Xu, what do you mean by a servant's hanging coffin?" Linglong hadn't heard of it, so she asked Lao Xu what this was.

Lao Xu took the noodles cooked by Sangda, said "thank you", and then thought about it before telling Linglong: "The Bashu generation has been a place where ethnic minorities have lived since ancient times. Have you seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven longitudinal Meng were in the area of Shu and Yunnan. And near the junction of Shu and Yunnan, there are a large number of hanging coffins. According to legend, it was established by the ancient servants. These servants used wooden stakes to erect coffins on the cliff wall, or used natural caves to place coffins in them. These coffins weigh hundreds of pounds, that is, modern technology has to waste a lot of things to complete the placement of hanging coffins, it is difficult to imagine how the ancients placed the coffins on the cliff wall under simple conditions. ”

While we were eating hot noodles, we listened to Lao Xu continue to introduce the hanging coffin: "Not only in the Shudian region, but also in some places along the southeast coast, there are also cliff burials. The funeral concept of ethnic minorities is different from that of the Han people, and some ethnic minorities do not pay attention to the burial of the deceased, but will choose methods such as cliff burial, water burial, sky burial, cremation, etc. The form of cliff burial not only exists in China, but also in some places abroad, such as the Philippines, this funeral method has also been found. ”

Sanda held a large bowl of noodles and said, "Professor Xu, you know a lot. Scholars are knowledgeable, unlike us who only run around and don't understand anything. ”

Lao Xu smiled: "As the saying goes, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." Reading and traveling can lead to a long period of learning. Brother Sanda, don't be humble, you've been to a lot of places, and you know a lot. ”

"I don't know what you said, but the art of feng shui is not groundless, which of those who have sat on the dragon chair in history is not because of the good location of the ancestral tomb? People are the five elements and the intersection of yin and yang, life is yang, the three souls and seven spirits are in their respective palaces in the body, people die and the yin is strong, the three souls are scattered into the six paths, and the seven spirits are submerged into the yellow spring. Therefore, when a person dies, he should enter the earth, which is yin and a spiritual medium, which can transmit yin qi and soul. If the dead are placed on the cliff, it is not only bad for the dead, but also has an impact on the offspring. "Although Luo Blind is a warlock, he hasn't seen much of the world. When I came out with us, I always felt inferior, I didn't dare to speak, and I was quietly invisible. Now when it comes to his profession, he is naturally unwilling to be mediocre, first, he wants to brush up his sense of existence, and secondly, he also takes the opportunity to show off.

I saw through Luo Blind's intentions at a glance, and I felt funny in my heart, so I joked to him: "Luo Daochang, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Teachable, teachable! However, I have heard that many places in foreign countries are cremated, and in some places, although it is a burial, the ancestors are dug up from the tomb every year on the festival day, washed and bathed, and then put back. These practices are different from ours, but there is still a throne, and future generations are still rich. Why is that? ”

"Hey, big brother, don't mention those foreign devils. They are all barbarians, how can they be compared to us. What's more, they don't believe in the Tao, and they don't worship our gods, they just sweep the snow in front of their doors. The dragon veins in the world are out of Kunlun, the main dragon is three, and the branch dragons are constantly separated, and two or three branches do go out of China and enter the realm of barbarians, which is also regarded as the grace of heaven in the world. Therefore, there are also those foreign devils who can sit on the throne. But they can only be vassal kings, we are the right seat of the Celestial Empire, and all nations will come to the dynasty. ”

I saw that what Luo Blind said was getting more and more unscored, and I was afraid of hurting Sangda, so I could only interrupt him and change the topic: "Sangda, you often go to Myanmar, have you ever seen this kind of writing?" As he spoke, he asked the scholar to take out the ghost text he had written and let Sanda read.

Sanda shirked at first, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are embarrassed for me, I can't read." ”

It should be out of politeness, but Sanda still took it. I thought his head was going to shake into a rattle, but who knew that Sanda was staring at the ghost over and over again.

The scholar said excitedly, "What? Do you know these words?! ”

"I don't know!" Sanda's words thundered the audience, "But I've seen these words!" ”

Sanda is a bit condescending when he doesn't become an actor. Everyone stood up and gathered around.

Linglong Zhengse asked, "Brother Sangda, take a good look, have you indeed seen these words?" ”

I scribbled a few Chinese characters on another piece of paper: "Have you ever seen this kind of character?" ”

Sanda looked at it and said, "It's kanji." Although I can't write, I can always tell the difference between Chinese characters and this kind of character. This kind of character is the same as ants crawling out, I have seen this kind of ant character. ”

"Where?" The fourth master, Linglong, Lao Xu, Luo Blind and I shouted out almost at the same time.

Sanda didn't expect us to suddenly become so excited, and suddenly at a loss. After calming down for a moment, he continued: "A few years ago, I showed people the way on the other side of the border. It was raining heavily that day, and the road was slippery, so I slipped off the mountain road and fell off the cliff. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want to fall more than ten meters and was blocked by something. I turned my head and looked, guess what? ”

"Hey, don't sell it. Say, what's the matter? The Sprinkler family is anxious to hear it. The scholar said.

"What stopped me was a big coffin! There was also a hanging coffin. The coffin was black, but the lid was densely covered with many red spots. I'm very impressed, it's this kind of word! "Sanda has a nose and eyes, not like a blind one.

"And then?" Linglong asked.

"Later? Then they pulled me up with a rope. Even the fright, coupled with the rain, and the coffin, made me seriously ill. ”

"Have you ever told someone?" Linglong was afraid that Sanda would leak the news.

"I didn't tell anyone about this ant character, but when I came back, I told the people in the village that there were hanging coffins outside the country." After Sanda finished speaking, she asked suspiciously, "What does this kind of word mean?" It doesn't look like kanji. ”

"Professor Xu is an expert in archaeology, and we are conducting research on ancient tombs. Brother Sanda, do you remember how you got to the big coffin you said? Tomorrow you take us there! Linglong said as she made use of a color to Ah Ah. Ali immediately pulled out a large envelope from his backpack and handed it to Sanda.

Sanda shirked again and again, "You have already given the money to lead the way, and you have given a lot." I can't take any more of your money, don't worry, Miss Linglong, although I haven't been to that road for a few years, I probably still know how to go, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning, and I'll show you the way. ”

"It's okay, Sanda, you just take it, it's the eldest lady's heart." Ali glanced at Linglong, and when he saw that Linglong didn't react, he didn't dare to take it back, and insisted on stuffing it to Sanda.

Sanda shirked back and forth a few times, and when he saw that Linglong and Ali were very resolute, he accepted it and said, "Then thank you Miss Linglong!" I'll go to the village to find some bedding, and I'll spend the night here today, and I'll get up tomorrow morning, and we'll leave when it's almost dawn. ”

"Brother Sanda, you've just had lunch, and you're ready to go to bed at night? You're too early. Luo said with a smile.

"In the afternoon, you will go around the village, and I will go to the village now to get a new futon, and then go to the neighborhood to hunt a few game, and there will be a big meal in the evening!" Sanda said as he pulled his legs and left, and he did things really vigorously.

Seeing that Sanda was gone, a few of us discussed what Sanda had just said about hanging the coffin abroad. The fourth master said that he had indeed seen hanging coffins when he traveled south and north, and this kind of funeral method was for ethnic minorities, and it was the first time he had heard of hanging coffins abroad.

Lao Xu said: "This is understandable. Similar to the Philippines, Zheng He brought many Chinese cultures and customs abroad when he went to the West. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the national capital Chang'an was very prosperous, attracting a large number of foreigners to study and do business there. Similarly, a large number of Tang Dynasty people migrated to Nanyang to live. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, exchanges were more frequent, and it is not surprising that there are hanging coffins of ethnic minorities near the border between Myanmar and China. ”

Seeing that what Lao Xu said was the Tao, Luo Blind also wanted to show off, and then said, "What Professor Xu said is right. The things of the ancestors are priceless, and the Nanyang devils are all stealing from us. In feng shui, our China is the heart of the world, and other countries are all Fanbang. The qi vein of Nanyang is a branch of the Nanlong dragon vein branched out of the Kunlun dragon vein, and even one branch vein can support their national fortune, so there is a hanging coffin in the country of Nanyang, indicating that there are also good hands there. ”

"Luo Daochang, don't you make a fool of yourself, right? Let me tell you, in Myanmar near our border, there are many tribes who are Chinese, and they still retain the habit of getting close to the ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan. When the scholar saw that the blind man was talking nonsense, he scolded him with words.

"The hanging coffin is not the key, the key is that Sanda said that he saw a ghost text on a hanging coffin." The fourth master pulled the topic back again.

"The fourth master is right, what we should pay attention to is the ghost text. If what Sanda said is true, it boils down to the fact that in Myanmar, near the border, there is a cliff with hanging coffins, and one of the hanging coffins has ghost inscriptions painted on it. Linglong said.

I continued: "Can it be inferred that the Soxh Club was impartial, flew from Guangdong to Yunnan, and went straight here, can it be assumed that they also have information about the hanging coffin of ghosts outside the border?" And Sophie still has the Nanyang man who understands ghost writing in her hand, maybe it was the Nanyang man who told Sophie that there was a ghost hanging coffin outside the country. ”

"It's very likely, it seems that Sophie is not easy to deal with." The fourth master said.
