Long Jiangyao's sixty-year-old running water account can't be completed in a day or two, so after my physical condition improved day by day, I suggested that Wei Niang say that she wanted to go out and go around.After all, it's not easy to come here, or you will be blind if you don't understand the local customs and landscapes.Wei Niang didn't object, and I was also happy to hear that I could go out and go around, and seeing her change the style of strict supervision of me for a few days, I also wondered what this woman was thinking in her head.But there are some things I don't want to ask too about, because Wei Niang has a weird style of doing things, and never plays cards according to routines, and since I know that she has a large army of nightmares under her hands, I also try not to make her angry, I know how serious the consequences of making her angry are, once she gets angry, she will turn Leishan Xijiang into a dead city in minutes.In recent days, the weather is not too good, the clear sky is not common, most of the time it is still rainy, but the Xijiang Miao Village in the rain is more poetic, looking at it as if it is in the picture, the mood is comfortable, not to mention, even the clothes wet by the rain feel a kind of enjoyment.Walking in the Miao Village of more than a dozen natural villages in Xijiang, the slippery lanes crisscross me, and I have lost my way several times, if I am not very familiar with the old ghost here as a guide, it is estimated that I and Wei Niang will wander around the Miao Village for several days.In addition, the hospitable Miao women threw strange ornaments at us from the stilted building, mostly carved from maple in the shape of horns and tied with red ribbons.Seeing this kind of thing, the old ghost also introduced that this is the thirteen-year Tibetan Festival is about to arrive, and he also said that this festival is the most mysterious, inherited for thousands of years, generally several natural villages together to celebrate the festival, speaking of the specific purpose, the old ghost also explained that it is a kind of festival of killing animals and worshiping ancestors, and he also talked about folk allusions.The specific folk allusions are full of mythology, and because I am a writer, I am also particularly curious about such a mysterious festival.However, most of the myths and legends are nonsense, just listen to it, there is no need to ponder carefully, but several natural villages to celebrate the festival together is indeed a rare event, the most important thing is that the Miao people do not exclude outsiders from the festival, so we also have the opportunity to feel the so-called mysterious atmosphere of the Guzang Festival.Coincidentally, the owner of our residence is the head of this Guzang Festival, and his daughter Caini is the protagonist of this Guzang Festival, and I heard that she and eleven other men of different ages have formed an ancestor worship team, and the main matter of ancestor worship is carried out by these people.It's no wonder that Caini has been dressed in Miao costumes these days, and her body is full of silver jewelry, which looks very noble, and daring is still the same thing.About two o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the Miao Village, and fireworks were also set off, and the thick gunpowder smoke was mixed into the water mist, and the colorful ceremonial flowers flew out from the center of the fog, which made the ancient village more vivid.Maybe it's because Wei Niang rarely sees the flowers, when the flowers burst out, she still applauded vigorously, jumping like a child, it's hard to imagine that she will be a hundreds of years old goblin.Originally, I also planned to enjoy the fun of folk customs before the Sansi Conference, but I saw a strange thing that night, and after inquiry, I learned that what I saw was not the folk customs that the local Guzang Festival should have, and the specific situation of the Guzangtou boss was not willing to say a word, and the cheerful atmosphere of the event suddenly disappeared.I heard Wei Niang say that this is not the first day I have seen this situation, it has existed before when I was not used to the water of the Nai River, but many people have avoided this matter, afraid that this matter will have any impact on major festivals.What I saw was a team of twelve people dressed in plain white, and I knew that this kind of dress generally meant that the dead were going to the funeral, but unexpectedly, Wei Niang said that she could see this team these days, but she didn't see the dead at all.As far as I know, the local Miao people are also different from the outside world in the customs of white things, the local people are accustomed to sky burial, after the death of the person neither to build a coffin, nor to burn paper money, not to build a tomb in the Yin House, but directly transported to the back mountain of Lei Gong Mountain to throw away, let the birds and beasts eat the flesh and blood of the dead, and it is rumored that the funeral people will also eat the flesh of the dead, it is said that it is to inherit the good style and habits of the deceased, the most terrifying thing is that they will invite foreign guests to enjoy the solid meat of the dead together.The festival is said to last for three years, but I have never heard of a dead person doing white business for a week, and the most strange thing is that I have not seen a dead person at all since the first day.I've seen a lot of weird things, and I have one of the most powerful ghosts around me, so I don't have too many concerns about it.Because this matter is also a blind spot in my knowledge, I wanted to get closer to find out, where did I know that after dinner, the boss's daughter Caini sent a set of festive costumes to Wei Niang, and she also praised Wei Niang as the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.When the two of them were talking, I also knocked on the side to learn about the local habits of doing white things, but what I didn't expect was that Caini said that the local white affairs never wore plain white, and the main colors were mainly black and gray.When she said this, Caini's face also began to turn pale, I knew that there was some kind of taboo, and in addition, in order to prevent her from ruining the good things of her ancestors, so I didn't continue to ask.And Caini also made a special statement when she left, she said that this kind of thing is good to get used to, and people don't interfere with their normal life, so we shouldn't ask about these idle things.As the old saying goes, more is better than less, less is better than nothing, and we, as foreign guests, have no need to cause trouble for ourselves.Caini's reminder is to the point, as the so-called benevolence is the best of righteousness, but my curiosity is out of control, so the more she says this, the more curious I want to see what happens.At night, the Miao Village was brightly lit, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks continued one after another, which continued until late at night.Although the street was covered by light rain, there were still frequent figures coming and going, and I said hello to the old ghost and Chen Yu, and then walked out of the crowd and went straight to the direction where the white team disappeared.Most of the dwellings in Xijiang Miao Village are built facing south of the mountain, and there are not many people in the mountain at all, and due to the sparse population of the local people, primeval forest areas also abound, and the back mountain we are going to next is one of them.After all, it's a place where people are active all year round, and I think even if it's sparsely populated, it won't be as small as the Mingdu Hua Family Ancestral Hall.In fact, to put it bluntly, Wei Niang and I didn't think about what strange things we would encounter at first, we thought that what we saw might be the folk customs of another place, after all, there are too many local folk customs in Miaojiang, and there are many of them that we don't know, so we just want to see what is going on, piggyback to understand, and we don't think about it seriously at all.At night, the mountain behind Lei Gong Mountain is quite quiet, because of the rainy day, the forest is also full of the fragrance of the earth, and the water mist is also very thick at this time, more or less shrouded in a veil of mystery.However, in the back mountain, we can still hear the sound of firecrackers in the Miao Village, and we can also see the brilliant fireworks shells shot into the sky, so even if the forest is quiet, we don't feel a trace of nervousness.There are stone paths between the forest rows, and there are stone lanterns carved out of whole stones on both sides of the path, because it is a grand festival, these stone lanterns also have a lot of burning candles, and the candlelight gathered together penetrates the water mist, twisting like a long snake, and the long snake formed by the candlelight also extends to the invisible distance.Although these starry candles add a little mystery to the mist-filled forest, they are far from reaching the point of being eerie and scary, and I and Wei Niang also stepped on the stone steps and walked carefully to the depths of the forest, and it didn't take long to hear a non-stop dull tapping sound in the distance.As the sound got closer, we noticed that the source of life seemed to have deviated from the trail and was coming from the overgrown forest.Wei Niang and I just wanted to leave the trail and go into the forest to have a look, when we suddenly heard a low old woman's voice coming from behind: "Stranger, this is not the place you should come, go back quickly" The old woman appeared very suddenly, so Wei Niang and I quickly turned our heads to look after hearing her voice.At this time, I saw a short and stout old woman, holding a black wooden cane with a fairly fine carving in one hand, and a gesture of stroking things with the other, and she was still wearing some old Miao costumes.The most important thing is that the old woman did not face us at this time, but in the direction of the forest path, and when I observed carefully, I also found that the old woman's fingernails were particularly long, curved and curled, and the length after straightening was at least 20 centimeters.Knowing that this old woman was definitely not an ordinary person, Wei Niang and I slowly walked in front of her, wanting to see what she looked like.However, as soon as I saw her face, the old woman suddenly raised her cane to block my way, and again told me, "Get out of here quickly, or you will die." ”As soon as her words fell, Wei Niang suddenly flashed in front of her with a snort, grabbed her crutches with one hand, and stared at the old woman with a pair of eyes."
You don't pretend to be a ghost, what are you tossing around at such an old age" Because Wei Niang is much taller than the old woman, so at this time, the old woman also slowly raised her head to look at Wei Niang, and at the same time I also noticed a pair of eyes of the old woman.One eye shimmered scarlet, while the other eyeball was long gone, his hair was disheveled, and his skin was dark and withered, very similar to the old madman before him.During the observation, the old woman suddenly giggled, and then heard her say: "I thought it was a descendant who didn't know how to live and die came here to find death, and the famous Chen Xiangu drove in, if I guessed correctly, the young man next to you is the ghost head man who broke the dynasty" The fastest update to read, please visit this site to read the latest novel chatert1706231537:
