"Shopkeeper Mi, tell the others to disperse, I'll let my friends talk to the old man alone."

Mi Libai understood and knew what Tan Yanqiu wanted to ask, his eyes motioned to the surrounding family members and slaves, and the second room of the big house gradually withdrew, leaving only Yue Guanchao in Rongshoutang.

"Old man, have you ever heard that there are more and more albino animals in Shennongjia?"

Tan Yanqiu also wanted to ask the old man's opinion again, after all, Mi Laozhuan had been dealing with Shennongjia for half his life, and he was very familiar with the vicinity of Shennongjia.

Mi Laozhuan pondered this, rubbed the two walnuts in his hand, and said tremblingly: "These albino animals have always been in Shennongjia, but they have not appeared so often, since those who repaired went to Shennong Peak, there have been more albino animals." ”

"Do you know what an albino is?"

Old Man Mi's cloudy eyes continued to become clear, and even the cunning of Orion appeared.

Tan Yanqiu recalled his previous statement and said slowly: "I remember you said that these albino animals are all elves of the mountain gods, or servants of the god of agriculture, and they cannot be easily offended. ”

Old Man Mi nodded: "Yes, I said so at the beginning, this is just to deceive outsiders, in fact, these albino animals have another secret, they have human souls." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Yue Guanchao and they heard the news, they were swept away from their fatigue for days, and looked at the old man in spirit, Tan Yanqiu also knew that the old man might know the origin of this albino animal, and immediately asked: "Hey, then you have to tell us how these albino animals have human souls." ”

Old Man Mi continued: "I have also heard from the elders that Shennongjia is the entrance to a certain underworld, and there have been many records of Yin soldiers' passages here in ancient times......"

What is a Yin Soldier?

When the ancients said Yin soldiers, they meant dead soldiers.

Some soldiers die in battle during their lifetime, and after they die, their souls will stay in place and refuse to leave, and they will feel that they are not dead, and they are still marching and fighting in the same place, which is the Yin Soldier.

When there are more and more Yin soldiers, they will form a Yin Soldier Legion, just like a living legion, with the ability to march and fight in the underworld, if these Yin Soldier Soldiers and generals happen to be attracted by some mysterious power, they will be used by this mysterious force, or become a puppet Yin soldier of the spellcaster.

These Yin soldiers are different from Yin Difference, Yin Difference is controlled by the underworld, and Yin soldiers are controlled by the caster, just like the regular warlords and bandit warlords during the Republic of China, the relationship between these bandit warlords and the political Yuan is also friend and foe, when there are interests, it is easy to say anything, if there is no benefit, the first to kick the nest and disperse.

Yin soldiers are equivalent to souls that are not controlled by the underworld, and it all depends on how the temperance is used!

Under normal circumstances, such Yin soldiers will not be seen, but at certain times and places, or when people have Yin and Yang eyes, people will suddenly see many Yin soldiers walking across the border.

Once you encounter the Yin soldiers crossing the border, in addition to not being able to follow and see, the most important one is that you can't make any sound, and it's best to even delay breathing.

In the experience of the old generation, whenever you see the voice of the Yin soldiers, most of them will be caught by the Yin soldiers, and they will also be taken to the Netherworld to become Yin soldiers.

The Yin Realm and the Yang Realm are two worlds, these Yin soldiers would not have noticed the living people in the Yang Realm, if the Yang Realm people made a sound, this forcibly used spiritual power to make a connection between the two worlds, and these Yin soldiers could also notice the living people, and even, they deliberately pulled the living people to the Netherworld to be Yin soldiers.

Yue Guanchao was fascinated by what he heard, and said unconsciously: "Dare to love, there are also strong men in the netherworld?" ”

This kind of thing is happening everywhere in today's Republic of China, and when it comes to the border of Henan Province, even a family has to produce a man as cannon fodder.

Uncle Mi nodded at everyone: "Shennongjia is not only a station of the underworld, but also a place where you can see the Yin soldiers transiting, when it was sparsely populated in the past, it was not a village inhabited by living people at all, but a burial village. ”

"Funeral Village? Isn't it Yizhuang! ”

Everyone became curious, there are indeed some abandoned villages in the people, which will be used by the nearby people as a righteous village, used to dock the corpse, so that they can be buried deep in the mountains.

Old Man Mi shook his head: "It's not Yizhuang, the corpses in Yizhuang always have to be buried in the ground, Yizhuang only plays the role of temporary corpse storage, but whenever the people send the corpses to the burial village, they don't plan to bury the corpses, but to the mountain gods, or to the god of agriculture." ”

The burial village is actually a sacrificial village, but these people are no longer sacrificing melons, fruits and livestock, but human corpses.

The ancients did not fail to solve the "problem after death", and were always afraid that they would really disappear from this "world" forever after death, and they created the gods and Buddhas and the underworld to explain the "return" of people after death, so as to explain the world after death and fill the fear of death.

If the people are not buried completely when they die, it means that they will not be able to reunite with their dead ancestors in the underworld.

Under the influence of this view of life and death, the princes and princes are of course more solemn, not only to be buried in the flesh intact, but also to work the tomb, which must be as comfortable as before life, and the slaves and maids, gold, silver and jewelry enjoyed during life must also be in place after death.

After death, in fact, in the final analysis, I still don't want to believe that there is no more after death, and there is always a little thought.

The legend that there is a hell near Shennongjia has been around since ancient times, and the people nearby will send their bodies into the forest in order to prevent their dead family members from suffering from reincarnation, hoping that the mountain god Yin Jun in Shennongjia will be kind and take away the souls of their families to become Yin soldiers.

In this way, it is possible to avoid entering the underworld and being reincarnated and suffering.

It is rumored that as long as these corpses enter Shennongjia, it will not be long before a completely albino animal will appear near the corpse, and a few days later, after the albino animal leaves, the corpse will quickly decay and merge with the surrounding soil and vegetation.

In this way, it is equivalent to that the soul of this corpse has been accepted by the underworld and has become the Yin soldiers of the mountain god, and from then on, these albino animals will also live in Shennongjia as the Yin soldiers of the mountain god.

Speaking of which, these albino animals may have hidden the spirits of the dead, and they appeared in the area where the villagers lived, probably remembering their loved ones when they were alive and wanting to come back to see them.

People of the older generation know that the appearance of albino animals in whose house means that whose family members have been chosen by the mountain god to become servants, and they do not have to suffer when they are out of reincarnation, most of them are happy, and as for harming these albino animals, it is basically impossible.

It can be said that the albino animals, whether they are the servants of the mountain gods or the souls of the ancestors, are very respected by the people nearby, and no one will easily kill them.

At first, these people sent the corpses into the wild mountains, but later, as more and more albinos appeared here, some people sent the corpses to the village of Saunshen so that the albino animals could contain their spirits.

From a distance, it looks like coffins with eaves are spread out and stacked in the village, and all the corpses stored inside have been taken away by the mountain god.

Since then, the reputation of the burial village has come from this, and it has been continuously known by the people near Shennongjia!

At its peak, some villagers were moved to the burial village to wait for the mountain god to summon before they died, which was equivalent to sending the living to starve to death.

Since a few decades ago, because of the closest to Shennongjia, some hunters began to move here, and most of the dead houses lived together, but with the more and more hunters who moved, the dead houses would be filled in and cleaned up, and the living people lived in the courtyards, and from time to time there would still be people who would send the bodies to the funeral villages, waiting for the mountain gods to collect their souls.

Speaking of this, Old Man Mi paused and sighed: "It wasn't until after the Republic of China that this kind of soul-sending atmosphere changed......

After the Republic of China, the new culture and new life shouted loudly, and even the female baby didn't dare to call it foot binding anymore, this kind of obviously feudal superstition thing, of course, it can no longer be done with great fanfare, and the funeral village is of course not allowed to send the corpse here.

Since the Republic of China until now, the Xingshan County Government Yuan has experienced nearly 20 years of governance, and finally stopped the atmosphere of burying the dead and collecting the soul.

Song Siyuan asked, "Then, since the albino animal is the messenger of the mountain god, it can indeed be regarded as auspicious, right?" ”

Old Man Mi nodded: "Well, it can be regarded as auspicious." ”

"So, what if it's a person with albinism? Are albino people also auspicious? ”

Song Siyuan knows that no matter what this albino animal is, it is always a symbol of auspiciousness in the eyes of the villagers, and in the same situation, the albino should also be auspicious, but the people of Wushan have always regarded albino as ominous, but they don't know what the reason is.

Old Man Mi shook his head unexpectedly, and even frowned: "No, the one you said is called albinism, this does not belong to Xiangrui, and the people regard such a child as ominous." ”

Song Siyuan asked, "Why?" It is auspicious to look at animals, but it is really ominous to put it on people? ”

For this point, Old Man Mi obviously has something to say: "The albino animal absorbs the soul of a person, and it is chosen by the mountain god to be a messenger, on the other hand, if some messengers of the mountain god make a mistake, they will be expelled by the mountain god and reincarnated into a human body." ”

"But because the soul itself is not reincarnated but directly possessed, in fact, it is equivalent to taking the soul of the original baby, then strictly speaking, the baby died before the mother's womb, even if it is born, it is also a ghost fetus that has been taken away from the soul, and it no longer belongs to the living, such a person is equivalent to being degraded by the mountain god, and the soul has returned to the living person with the moment of birth."
