Chapter 526: Waiting, the folklore of Shen Village
After seeing this video, I was both happy and worried.
Glad that they had arrived in Shenjia Village, they were worried that Shenjia Village was full of corpses.
Then the heavy corpse miasma means that the corpse in that place has not been removed.
Where are Master and the others, and how are they now?
Whether it is safe or not, whether there are injuries, etc., is uncertain.
I looked out the window, and it was sunny after the rain.
After a day of rain, it's finally time to see the sun.
Check the weather forecast, and in the real-time weather, it also shows that there will be no more rain in the next day.
If nothing happens, I should be able to leave the hospital before I leave work.
Thinking of this, my mood is also a little more relaxed.
After a while, Shen Yang came to work the night shift.
As soon as he arrived at the office, he greeted me and said:
"Dr. Jiang, do you like folk culture very much?"
He asked as he put things down, still polite.
"Hmmm! Quite understanding. ”
I nodded in reply.
Shen Yang put on a doctor's coat and spoke to me again:
"There used to be rituals in our village.
It's just that when the old village chief passed away, there was no one to worship anymore. ”
"Sacrifices?"
My eyes widened with a little curiosity.
In the past, there were indeed rituals in many places.
My hometown is close to Fengcheng, and the ghost culture there is very strong.
There will be some sacrificial activities during the New Year's Festival, and our village used to have the custom of sacrificing to the king of the stove.
It's just that now it's less......
Shen Yang pushed his Sven glasses:
"That's right! I remember when I was a kid in the village.
We are on August 15 every year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In addition to making moon cakes to eat in the village, our village will also sacrifice to the mountain gods, please travel to the gods, and burn incense.
In a few surrounding villages, we burn incense and invite youshen.
The village is very lively, and other villages come to see it.
Later, the old village chief died, and everyone in the village went out to work.
We don't have anyone there to organize these folklore activities anymore.
Plus a few years ago, when our village was identified as a landslide danger zone.
The elders of the village say that our village has forgotten its traditions.
I didn't burn incense for the mountain god, so it brought disaster to the village.
But I don't believe in this either, but the folk culture of our village is really strong......"
Speaking of this, Shen Yang still had a trace of regret.
But I pondered.
To worship the mountain god, it is generally chosen on the 16th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which is the mountain god festival.
On August 15, I have heard of the mountain god for the first time.
Of course, as the saying goes; One side has one custom, one village has one rule.
Some places are just different from others.
However, the day they burned incense happened to be August 15.
Every year when the moon is the fullest and brightest, and the moon is at its most intense.
And the corpses have a characteristic, no matter how vicious they are, they will worship the moon.
And the more fierce the corpse, the more it can gather the essence of Yuehua.
Shenjia Village selected August 15 to burn incense, please travel to the gods.
Is it because the ancestors of Shenjia Village knew that there were corpses in that place?
In fact, it is not the mountain god who is sacrificed, but on the day when the moon is thicker, what about the corpses?
It's just that later, the people of Shenjia Village no longer know about the corpse in Shanli Town.
Only the sacrificial tradition of suppressing the corpse was preserved?
And now, because of terrain changes, landslides and other reasons.
Leaking corpse gas, polluting the water source?
Now, the corpses in the mountains have crawled out of the mountains again?
I combined Shen Yang's situation with the information I have now to conduct a comprehensive analysis and make these inferences.
When I think about it, I feel like it's possible.
Then he asked:
"Doctor Shen, which mountain do you worship to the mountain god? Is it that Chicken Head Mountain? ”
Shen Yang sat in his position leisurely, and was a little surprised when he heard me say this:
"That's right! How do you know? ”
"I guess!"
I replied with a light smile.
Shen Yang continued:
"It's Jitou Mountain, the same mountain I told you about last night, the mountain where the boulder fell.
There is a cave in the middle of the mountain, which is not allowed to enter on weekdays, and is blocked with stones.
It will only open on August 15.
At that time, the people in the village would pretend to be a wandering god and go up the mountain after dinner.
Then the people of the village followed behind, burning incense in the cave, and they could also admire the moon outside.
They also do some rituals in the cave.
Very lively and very meaningful.
It's a pity that this kind of meaningful folk activity has been broken in our village.
Now the entire mountain city may be on the side of your hometown, Dr. Jiang.
Fengcheng should still have this kind of folk tradition! ”
I let out an "um" and replied:
"Yes! After all, it is a ghost cultural tourist attraction, and it receives many tourists every year. ”
I said absent-mindedly, remembering the cave where they worshipped the mountain god in Shenyang.
How can there be a temple that is usually blocked with stones?
I feel more and more that my guess is right.
And there are some affirmations.
It is very likely that this corpse from Shenjia Village existed in Shenjia Village a long time ago.
Gradually, it is not known.
It's just that this kind of sacrificial activities year after year have been handed down.
The beautiful name is said to be a sacrifice to the "mountain god".
In fact, they are just fighting the corpses.
It wasn't until the "old village chief" in Shenyang's mouth passed away and the population in the village was small, that the inheritance was broken.
Years of mountain movements, landslides.
Only in recent years, the corpses sealed in the mountains have collapsed......
