0451, Xiangxi chases corpses
divid="chapterContentWapper">
As the saying goes: saving people is like fighting fire.
Prince Xiong explained the basic principles to Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying, and then urgently went north with Yan Erniang and Mandaili with twelve female soldiers of the White Phoenix Guard.
Bring Yan Erniang, because she is the person by Dongting Lake, and she is a ready-made guide. Besides, Yan Erniang hasn't returned to her hometown for more than ten years, and she can't say anything if she doesn't bring it.
Bring Mandali because she is the best at fighting. If you want to save people this time, it is to break into the encirclement of tens of thousands of people and kill two back and forth, if you can't fight, you will be in trouble.
Yan Erniang's route was to cut north from the east of Shaoyang County, then go north to Xinhua County (now Loudi), and pass through Yiyang County to reach the first destination, that is, Yuanjiang County, because Shen Xiyue's secret base for transferring displaced people was here.
Because they couldn't expose their identities near Yongzhou, so as not to leak the secrets of Daguan Fort, Xiong Chu and his group of fifteen people all traveled at night and hurried while it was dark.
If it weren't for Yan Erniang leading the way, it is estimated that Xiong Chu and the others would not even know the southeast and northwest, and they would not know where to go.
Although it was a night rush, with Yan Erniang leading the way, plus fifteen people were top BMWs, the speed was not slow, and they had already entered Xinhua County on the third night.
It's already the fourth watch, and you have to try your best to find a place to stay. Otherwise, a young man with fourteen flower-like women would not be able to attract attention.
The place in the northwest of Yanling Town is already very secluded, and it is a junction into the mountain, which is basically a deserted place.
Just when Xiong Chu thought that this place was very remote, a house suddenly appeared on the left side of the road.
A white lantern emits a dim glow, and there appears to be a triangular apricot yellow flag on the lintel.
"Huh?"
Xiong Chu's eyesight is the best, and when he is still more than twenty zhang away, he finds that this seems to be an inn.
What made him feel strange was that not to mention the barren mountains and mountains, the two gates were actually open in the middle of the night, and he was not worried about thieves getting in.
The room was pitch black, and naturally there was no half a figure, let alone the slightest sound, as if it was an empty house.
But if there is no one in the house, who is lighting the lantern?
"Silence, go!"
Yan Erniang's tone was short, and she galloped past with a low snort, as if she had discovered something very nervous.
This acceleration, in the blink of an eye, was more than twenty miles, and finally arrived in another small town before dawn, and then knocked on a small inn to settle down.
All the way into the room, Yan Erniang's expression barely relaxed.
Only then did Prince Xiong ask the doubts in his heart: "Erniang, what's wrong with you today, isn't there an inn in front of you, why are you hurrying here?"
"Xianggong, it's too dark for you to know. Yan Erniang's expression was strict: "Yes, you saw the word inn, but you didn't see the two words in front, right?" Also, there is a lantern hanging outside the door of the inn, there is no light in the room, but the door is open, don't you think it's strange?"
Xiong Chu nodded: "I just think it's weird, but when you remind me like this, this thing is even more strange." โ
patted his head, Xiong Chu slapped his palm: "I remember, in front of the two words of the inn, there are the words 'Yin Si', it turns out that the inn is called Yin Si Inn!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiong Chu was stunned, and it took a long time before he breathed a sigh: "It's really weird, Yin Si Inn, what the hell is this place?"
"Hehe, Xianggong is right!" Yan Erniang suddenly laughed: "Although it is a real inn, it is indeed a ghost place." Xianggong grew up in the north, of course, it is rare and strange. โ
"Second sister, don't play dumb riddles, okay. Mandaili and the twelve members of the team all tried to find out, "What the hell is going on, we are all from the north, and we have never heard of such a strange inn name." โ
Yan Erniang closed the door and window tightly, and then said in a low voice: "Chase the corpse, have you heard of it?"
Mandaili was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I seem to have heard in Zhennan City, the people in the teahouse chatted, and when it came to Zhu Xieyuan's annihilation of Yu Chongming and An Bangyuan, more than 30,000 people died, and some of them said that Guizhou and Xiangxi had work to drive out the corpses. โ
Yan Erniang nodded: "What I want to say is to drive corpses in Xiangxi." The Yin Si Inn we saw before was a special inn for chasing corpses in Xiangxi, and it was not for us to stay. โ
It was the first time Xiong Chu heard about this, and he was a little puzzled: "Chase the corpse, why do you want to drive the corpse?"
Yan Erniang pondered for a moment: "Okay, we can't leave during the day anyway, so I'll tell you why we want to drive the corpse." You should know a saying: the soul returns to its hometown, and the fallen leaves return to its roots. Driving out corpses is to put this proverb into practice. โ
"Xiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are barren and poor, and a large number of people go out to make a living every year. Or he was plagued by illness and died, or he was killed by sudden changes, or even beheaded by the government, coupled with the continuous war, how many thousands of people died outside every year. โ
"These people died in a foreign land, or their families didn't know about it, and they became lonely ghosts. Or the family knows, but the distance is too far, but there is no way to get home and bury. Or maybe the family knows about it, but they don't have the money to get someone home. How can we realize the return of the soul to the hometown and the fallen leaves to the roots?"
"Legend has it that Chiyou fought with the Yellow Emperor on the edge of the Yellow River, and tens of thousands of people died at one time. After the battle, Chiyou ordered his soldiers to carry the wounded away, and at the same time ordered Zhu Si (later the priest) to bring home his brothers who had died in battle. Zhu Si came to the middle of the battlefield after receiving the order, and recited a mantra aloud. โ
"It is to the effect of: 'Fight for your tribe, you are heroes, and die for your tribe, you are ghosts.'" Sanmiao Wanling is your hometown, and the three souls and seven spirits are your spirit. Born with courage, die as a heroic soul. Listen to me and go home together!' and shouted: "Get up!" Tens of thousands of corpses stood up and walked back in a fixed rhythm. โ
Xiong Chu shook his head: "It's strange and incredible. โ
Yan Erniang said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, don't underestimate the mystery here. The Chinese civilization has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are countless mysteries that no one can explain at all. The land of three seedlings, known as the ghost country in ancient times, is the ancestor. was able to win nine battles and nine victories, and beat the Yellow Emperor to the point of a wolf bรจi escape, Chi You is definitely a masterpiece of a generation. โ
"Our Shangqing school is a Taoist lineage, and many of our predecessors have devoted themselves to the study of Hetuluoshu, although there is no consensus in the end, but everyone has mastered a unique knowledge from it. From this, it can be seen that the Hetu Luo book must be all-encompassing, but no one can figure it all out. โ
"The Book of Changes" is also all-encompassing, Zhuge Liang understood Qimen Dunjia from it, and then there was an unpredictable gossip array. But others have devoted themselves to research, but they have achieved superhuman achievements in the field of medicine and astrology. The wisdom of our predecessors is not something we can simply understand. โ
"Chasing corpses, ancient times, mysterious. People have three souls and seven spirits, and then there is the harmony of yin and yang, which is the basis for pulse diagnosis. The three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the human soul, and the seven souls are the corpse dog, the arrow, the bird's yin, the thief swallower, the non-poisonous, the defilement, and the stinky lung. โ
"If the three souls do not gather, they cannot be reborn, and if the seven souls are not complete, they cannot live long. When a person dies, the heavenly soul and the earth soul leave the body, but the human soul guards the physical body. People often say that they hit a ghost, but in fact, they hit the soul of a dead person. โ
"Why do ancestral tombs look at feng shui? Why do we have to find a way to keep the body from rotting? Why does the ancestral tomb smoke come out? Why is there a legend of the dragon vein? In a word, we must find a way to ensure that the human soul has sustenance, and then we will bless future generations. โ
"The emperor will not allow the common people to master the tricks, and the people in power will never want the ordinary people to understand the mysteries, so they will ban them all. It is precisely because of the existence of the human soul that there will be a spell to drive away the corpse. โ
"In recent years, there have been wars, and there are more and more corpses that need to be sent back to their hometowns, so the corpses in Xiangxi have finally been discovered. Take this time as an example, the vast majority of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces of Governor Zhu Xieyuan were soldiers from Huguang. โ
"They died in battle, and the court didn't care, but the parents, wives and children at home were all leaning on the door and waiting. However, natural and man-made disasters continued, and no one could come up with a lot of money to transport the coffin home, so driving the corpse became an inevitable choice. โ
Xiong Chu shook his head helplessly: "These things are mysterious and mysterious, and it's not too late to study them when you have time." I'm surprised, why is the door always open at the Yin Si Inn in front, and I'm not afraid of thieves entering?"
Yan Erniang smiled: "Xianggong has never seen a corpse, so there is such a question." It was precisely because it was almost dawn that I asked everyone to hurry up. Because human souls cannot move during the day, the people who chase corpses rest during the day and only go on the road at night. โ
"The Inn of the Netherworld is where the corpse chasers stay. If we don't leave quickly, it won't be good if a team of corpse chasers happens to come over and stay overnight. As for not closing the door, no one knows when the corpse chaser will come in and when he will leave. โ
"As for the thief, hehe, will the thief go in? Behind the open door, against the wall on either side, there are two rows of corpses. If someone who doesn't know the truth breaks in, he will be scared to death on the spot. โ
Xiong Chu nodded slightly: "It seems that there are really some special doorways to chase corpses, and there will be a special inn for people to rest when chasing corpses, which is really like a mountain." โ
"There's a lot of doorway in here. Yan Erniang smiled slightly: "For example, driving the corpse at a time is an action of three people, the Tsing Yi Fa Si is leading the way, the white-clothed hair division is holding a mourning stick to press the formation, and the black-clothed hair division is next to the corpse to fix the soul." โ
Xiong Chu's face was full of doubts: "What is Gou [nuรณ]?
Yan Erniang nodded: "This north is rare, it's normal that you haven't seen it, but it's very common in our lakes, Guangzhou, clouds, Gui, and Sichuan." For example, if someone dies in the family, we will ask a Taoist priest to do things here, and there are various musical instruments in it. โ
"Among them was a small gong, three inches and six minutes in diameter, with a clear and high-pitched voice, but very short. The formal name is Yin Gong, also known as Hook Soul Gong, commonly known as 'Hook Girl', which plays a role in guiding people's souls to recognize the way. โ
"Wu is a puppet set up by ancient sacrifices in order to drive away epidemics, mourning, ancestors, and tombs. Gou Fuzi is a ritual instrument that uses the sound of gongs to invite the gods to hook the soul. Now it has slowly evolved into a common folk small gong, and it has also appeared in many court songs and dances. โ
Speaking of this, Yan Erniang suddenly lowered her voice: "Xianggong, from now on, we will enter the control range of the Vulcan Sect's main altar. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, our whereabouts must be more secretive. โ
It's a pity that things should come and must come, no one expected Yan Erniang to become a prophecy.
The so-called providence is difficult to do, and no book can be written without coincidence. Nothing more.
