CHAPTER 2 136 TOMBS

###136

"Why? I have carefully measured every inch of An Yuan Hall, even if it is to deliberately hide the location of the secret room according to some Qimen formations, I have tried most of it. Nothing, An Yuantang looks fresh on the outside, but in fact, it has been abandoned for a long time. ”

"It's not like that. Little Bell smiled with interest.

"That's not the case. ”

Liu Luone: "What do you mean, children don't talk like adults." ”

Seeing that the little bell suddenly covered her mouth, looking like she was vomiting, Xiao Yu was stunned, and then heard the little bell reluctantly make a voice and said, "Sister Liuluo, do you know the burial customs of the people here?"

Liu Luo nodded: "Naturally, I understand some." In fact, the burial customs of the entire Qi country are similar. In addition to the Qi country, it is very different, the Hou Shu generation outside Lingyun River, and the Southern Wu outside Wucheng have their own burial customs, which are very different from our Qi country. What are you asking for?"

The bell nodded, and finally stopped vomiting like Fang had just done, but due to the dim light, there was really no blood on his face.

Xiaoyu didn't have time to worry, she looked down at the dots and lines under her feet. Hearing the little bell again, he cleared his throat: "Nanwu is buried in water, and the body is thrown into the river after death." Hou Shu cremation or sky burial, the body is placed on the pyre for cremation and burned, the pyre surrounds the place where the body of the deceased is placed, and the pyre is lit, and the fire will burn the wood and the corpse. After the body is burned to ashes, it is placed in a container, buried in the earth, or sprinkled in water.

The climate of Houshu is dry, and the wind and smoke are billowing for most of the year, and it is believed that when cremation, the wind can carry the deceased out of the mountain, to places that cannot be visited during life. This is related to the topography of Houshu, where mountains are connected to mountains, and mountains are connected to mountains. Being able to walk around after death can be regarded as making up for the wish of being alive. The living can also feel that their loved ones have just turned into smoke and gone farther away. ”

But in this way, isn't there even a place to mourn when you miss your loved ones?

And what's the deal with water burials? Is it really throwing people directly into the water? Isn't that similar to a sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice is a living person. Liu Luo was impatient, and interjected: "Don't you know that the sacrifices are all about tying the living to stones and throwing them into the water? In order to ensure that they will sink to the bottom, the stones are always the same, and they will never be easily freed. Most of these living people are boys or girls, smaller than bells, and are dedicated to the gods of rivers and water, hoping that they will protect the wind and rain in the mortal world. ”

"However, children do not know the nature of water, and throwing them into the river like this is tantamount to drowning them alive. ”

It was unusual to have never felt this thing underwater, and the child who fell into the mulberry tree soon became a member of the Sawahomon family.

Sister Zezhu was also born in this way. No one finds it strange that the fish scatters the child in the water, never asking who the father is, and does not care whether the child knows the mother after birth.

The corals grow day and night, and even when they die, they only fade away from their original colors and become a more plain and elegant gray-white.

Indeed, the colors on the road look very different from the underwater, everything on the road is brighter, the dazzling daylight, the moonlight that sees through everything, and the flowers are so beautiful that it is really impossible to see the colorful colors.

Such a beautiful place, so close to the sky, why would people here send living children to death?

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu didn't know whether her mood was sad or painful, and the way she was used to reproduction was now thinking that they were all children as fresh as bells.

Drowned alive in the water. Xiao Yu shook her head hard, really trying to shake all these bad emotions out of her thoughts.

But without these children, Zesamun would have disappeared.

So she didn't know if she was sympathetic to these children on the land, or if she was sad for Zezamun.

"You know, the people believe that this is the only way to avoid annoying the river gods. Do you know that when the solar terms are disordered, when the bitter rain comes, when the grains do not grow, or when the insects and locusts are defeated, when the storm comes, and when the grass is not real, who is the suffering? ”

Liu Luo raised his head and waved his cuffs again, and said: "That's it, it's useless to say this, the Qi State has banned the people from making sacrifices on their own, and now all sacrifices must be listened to by the Lin Mansion." As for the Lin Mansion, we better mention it less.

Little bell, do you know that only tombs are allowed in the Qi Kingdom, and sky burials, cremation and even water burials are not allowed. In particular, it is said that there are many people in the area of Wucheng who still follow the custom of the ancestors of Southern Wu and the corpses of people who are thrown into the river after death. Later, the Lin Mansion specially sent people to inspect the area of Wucheng, and when they saw a person who was secretly buried by water, they were all arrested and imprisoned. Now, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person, all of them are buried. ”

"People have to be managed when they are alive, and how they are buried after death must be restricted, is this emperor in charge of these things every day?

Xiao Yu said indignantly.

"Naturally not, the emperor has much more things to take care of than this, but the emperor of Daqi is an emperor who is unwilling to take care of things, Daqi has always been blessed by the gods, and he has his own blessings and the location is favorable, so the emperor naturally doesn't have to worry about anything. ”

Although his face was plain, as light as white water, the tone of the little bell was full of the maturity of a child, and after listening to Liu Luo's words, the bell said: "Our emperor, is the most leisurely person in the world." ”

"You said so much, what do you want to say, don't sell the children's family, when is this. Liu Luo said sharply.

"Tombs. ”

"What?"

The little bell opened his arms and formed a circle in mid-air, saying, "The place where the body is placed is the 'tomb', and the way to place the body is 'burial'." The reason why An Shiyuan's coffin cannot be found is because the entire An Yuan Hall is a tomb, and this stone chamber is a coffin. ”

Xiao Yu was surprised, and Liu Luo was dumbfounded.

"That's right, the place where Sister Liu Luo came down should have been facing just above, that is, towards the sky, and the above and below where the Fuxi gossip and the text of "The Ballad of the Sea Split" were painted and engraved were the left and right sides of the coffin, and as for the side corresponding to the stone wall that could not be opened, it should be the bottom of the sarcophagus. ”

"Little bell, are you saying that we are in a coffin at the moment? This whole place is An Shiyuan's sarcophagus?"

Liu Luo's face twitched again, his face was extremely ugly,

"Since it's a coffin, even if your guess is correct. Why is the coffin in such a strange direction?"

The little bell pulled Xiaoyu's sleeve, and Xiaoyu recovered from her contemplation.
