Chapter 98 Legend of the Living Dead

Returning from Cambodia, Xiaopei often sat on a hanging chair in the yard and looked at the ring in his hand that the prince resolutely left for her as a souvenir. In this situation, everyone is worried that this stubborn girl will have problems if she continues to be depressed like this.

Zhong Yueming suggested to Zhou Xirui, why don't we go to Tibet? It is the best medicine for treating lovelorn. In that place where the soul is washed, no matter how emotionally addicted, people will definitely be able to find their hearts.

They left as soon as they said. The hearts of this group of people have never stopped, and it seems that they are destined to be on the way to find them all their lives. After saying goodbye to his reluctant parents, Zhou Xirui led his expedition team again.

Uncle Li didn't participate this time. He was really afraid that he would never come back. It's better to stay at home to stay with his wife and children. John's friends in the United States invited him back to participate in the software development of a project, and he also said goodbye to the United States.

Now, in addition to Zhou Xirui, there are still Xiaopei, Acuo, Zhong Yueming, Liu Peng, and of course, an alien Dimo. This guy seems to be very adapted to the life of the earth in the 21st century.

On weekdays, Zhou Xirui and others go out to play and absolutely dare not pull him down. Or he will think of a way to do something bad, such as putting a caterpillar in Xiaopei's clothes, or calling to vividly imitate Zhou Xirui's mother's mother's tone, lying that her mother was hit by a car, or pretending to be the inspector to find Zhong Yueming and saying that he wanted to adjust. Checking some details of his parents' crimes, everyone had no choice but to carry him everywhere in their backpacks.

Every time he goes out, Zhou Xirui has to dress him in a doll's clothes and disguise it as a puppet. But once it was almost found.

That day, everyone went out and didn't get a taxi and got on the bus. Zhou Xirui took off his backpack and held it on his chest. A mother next to him was carrying a child. The child was very curious about Dimo's appearance, so he poked him with his hand. Dimo made a strange face that made the child cry.

It made everyone get out of the car early and go home to criticize his bad behavior. He still crossed his legs and said, "Who told you to kidnap me?" "Wasn't you willing to follow us back later?" Zhong Yueming said.

"Of course, you have to thank me. You can't come back without me." This guy chuckled. Zhou Xirui began to feel that the alien was full of truth, but his nature came out in a few days, just like a little monster.

This time, they drove two off-road vehicles, one by Zhou Xirui and Zhong Yueming. They arrived in Jiangxi three days after departure from Hangzhou. It has been known as "Wuhua Tianbao and outstanding people" since ancient times. There are many cultural relics, scenic spots, such as Lushan, Tengwang Pavilion, Sanqing Mountain, Wuyuan, Longhu Mountain and Jinggang. Mountains are famous at home and abroad.

However, this time their goal is to go to Tibet, and they can only take a look at the flowers, but they still need to taste the delicious food here along the way and enjoy the beauty of the water and soil.

Xiaopei likes to eat dumpling cake. All kinds of fillings are steamed in a thin skin bag and then steamed in a steamer. The fragrance can be faintly seen through the filling in the skin. Dumplings are divided into spicy stuffing and non-spicy stuffing. Spicy is usually stuffed with shredded radish and chili, and it is not spicy to make stuffing with leeks. In addition, there are many kinds of fillings such as beans and salt dishes, all of which are based on personal preference.

And Zhou Xirui's favorite of several boys is quinoa fried bacon. In the Shennong Herbal Classic, quinoa is listed as the best wild vegetable. Stir-fried bacon with chryps is a home-cooked wild vegetable that everyone in the south of the Yangtze River loves to eat, and has always enjoyed the reputation of "crisp and tender, flavorful spring vegetables".

On the shore of Poyang Lake in Duchang, you can pick the purest wild quinoa. Combining it with bacon is a delicious lake that people have to taste. With the unique fragrance of quinoa and the aroma of bacon, a group of people sighed that they would not get tired of eating this thing every day.

More than a week later, they crossed Jiangxi and entered Hunan. The customs here are very familiar to Zhou Xirui and Acuo. This place is very close to Xiaopei's home. Zhou Xirui asked Xiaopei if he wanted to go back to have a look? Xiaopei shook her head. Now she is in a bad mood. When she comes home, her grandfather doesn't know what to say.

It gradually darkened, and their car drove to a very remote place. Looking at the dilapidated houses not far from the highway in front of them, everyone decided to stay here. Zhou Xirui felt that there seemed to be very few cars on this road at night. They had just driven a long car and had not passed by.

They came to a house outside. Under the dim yellow light, a rural couple was eating. The audience said the request to come here for a night and enthusiastically greeted everyone to sit down. The hostess also enthusiastically stir-fried a plate of firewood eggs for everyone to sit at the table for dinner.

Everyone asks why this place is so desolate and why are there so few people in the village? The male owner sighed and said, "Those who can go out to work have left, and those who can move away have also left. You must have gone off your way, otherwise you wouldn't have come here."

Zhong Yueming asked curiously, "What's the reason?" The male master said, "Our mountain here is called the place of corpses in the feng shui, which has to be talked about since before liberation.

It was probably at the time of the Republic of China. Hunan was very poor, hehe! In fact, it is not very rich now. Many farmers like me in villages still have a very hard time.

At that time, people died. Unlike now, they had to be filled with coffins and asked Taoist priests to see the ground for burial. It depends on what season they die. Generally, the most people are buried during the autumn harvest. Why? Because only when crops are harvested and grain is sold in autumn can there be money to be buried.

So, if you don't die at the right time, the general way to deal with it is to wrap it directly in straw mats and put it in the ravines in the mountains. Richer farmers will use white-skinned coffins to cover the dead with some straw, and then wait until the autumn harvest and have some money to bury them.

Those who are poor will be directly wrapped in straw mats and covered with straw, so at that time, the older generation will tell their children not to run to the mountains casually. Because maybe one day you will step on someone else's body, which is called a collision, which is very serious.

And the body was placed in the open air in the mountain pass, and it changed after a long time of wind and rain. During the day, the sun shines, and the moon shines at night. The sky absorbs the brilliance of the sun and the moon for a long time. What's more, because it is located in a gully or between straws, such a cold environment gradually becomes spiritual, which is a little similar to raising a corpse.

Although only a few corpses will produce such changes, the changed bodies are quite horrible. According to my grandmother, she was a tailor at that time. After rushing her clothes to the landlord's house, she went home in the middle of the night and walked. Suddenly, she saw a man walking across the road, gasping for breath and her red hair.

In fact, it is usually not clear at night. The reason why my grandmother saw the man's appearance clearly is that the man's eyes are as big as copper bells (the kind that used to be tied to a cow's neck), and he is also shining. He is about a foot taller than ordinary people. It is said that it is because of the corruption and expansion of the corpse itself, it looks high.

Then my grandmother trembled with fear and hid on the hill next to the road. According to her, the man was wearing a pair of pocket trousers (very rustic, that is, shorts, the lower-grade kind) and it was tattered. The fingernails are half a foot long. It is said that this kind is called a living corpse. Generally, when it sees a living thing, it is torn in half and eaten, but its eyes can only see the front. So my grandmother squatted down and hid, so she picked up a life.

A few years ago, we had a family here, and our father died. The eldest son is guarding the mourning hall at home, waiting for his father's youngest son to come back to mourn.

As a result, the youngest son can't come back because of some things, and it will take another month to come back. So the eldest son stuffed their father's body into a hollow tree, cut down the tree, put it flat in the side room, and set it up with two benches. I don't know what kind of tree it is. I don't remember exactly whether it is a locust tree or willow tree, but he used a stool to put the "coffin" (that is, the hollow tree tube) ) It makes sense to set it up: prevent corpses and avoid ground gas.

As a result, the family's youngest son was delayed and did not come back for half a year. Of course, the side room has never been opened again. The dead person is evil, so he can't open it casually.

Later, many strange things happened in the village. First, some people's families were inexplicably missing poultry, such as chickens and ducks. Then slowly start to reduce some larger animals, such as pigs.

The pig of this family was also lost, so the family bought a dog to keep at home. This dog is also very strange. It often barks in the lobby facing the side room in the middle of the night.

For good, after a while, the youngest son finally came back. So after discussion, the whole family planned to let the youngest son worship his father's bones and then be buried.

They opened the side room, put on sacrifices, and inserted incense candles. After kneeling and knocking three times, the two sons lifted the "coffin" to prepare for burial - as a result, they found that the "coffin" was actually empty, with a lot of chicken feathers and duck feathers!

The two sons ran tremblingly to invite a Taoist priest. This Taoist priest's spell was very famous. After the Taoist priest came, he looked at it and told them that your father had become a living corpse. Now he is still eating livestock. After a long time, I'm afraid he will eat people.

Later, the Taoist priest made a method and used livestock as bait to lure their "fathers back", and then when it began to dawn, the chickens began to bark. The Taoist priest tied the "coffin" with ink thread, then tied their "father" with straw rope and carried the coffin out and burned it. At that time, everyone in the village went to see it. In broad daylight, the coffin was on fire and jumped a few times...

After the male master finished speaking, he sighed again. When the Taoist priest left, he said that our place was a place for corpses. If the corpses buried in the ground were not handled well, they would become living corpses. So all the people in our village who can go out to work have gone to work, and all the people who have ways to move out have moved away.

Because the story of living corpses here is far away, there are few cars on the road outside, let alone at night. Others would rather take a detour than go here, so we have to walk a long way to go to the market.

Xiaopei thought for a moment. Master also seemed to have said this situation. The place where the living body came out is also a place where the yin qi condenses, and there is likely to be a yin vein nearby. If you want to eradicate the corpse qi here, you must ignite the yin vein to let it burn for three days and nights, but this fire is not the kind of flame we usually refer to.

It is a flame from hell, a kind of green fire that seems to keep jumping. If this fire burns on people, it will burn people to ashes, but the clothes will not catch fire at all and will remain intact.

Zhong Yueming said: "Ah, I remember that I have seen reports about spontaneous combustion of human beings; on December 15, 1949, a 53-year-old woman named Cotrix in New Hampshire, USA, was burned to death at home.

In the investigation, Manchester police found that the horrible body that did not look like a humanoid lay on the floor of the room, but the objects in the room were not damaged at all, and the fireplace had never been used, and no fire could be found anywhere else.

The Associated Press reported: "The woman must have been like a fireball when she burned, but the flame did not burn any wood in her home. I was very surprised to see this report at that time.

Later, I also saw a report similar to this situation. In 1951, Mrs. Lizer in St. Petersburg, Florida, was found to have turned into ashes in the house, and the house was not damaged at all.

In this case, investigators used various modern scientific methods to determine the context of this mysterious accident. However, despite the cooperation of arson experts, fire station officials and pathologists, a year-long study has still not figured out the cause of the incident.
