This underground passage occupied by countless wild rats is connected to a cave like an underground hall.
There are many boulders buried in the floor of the hall, and there are many passages with the same structure around it.
I never expected that on the stone wall of this cave, It is actually engraved with the statue of the "Huang Xiangu" from Huangpizi Temple.
This scene carved behind the stone wall had already been noticed when we discovered the natural emerald stone screen like a stone wall.
However, these inscriptions were very old and the stone wall was peeling off and blurred.
If we did not wipe away the dust with our sleeves, It is really difficult to identify.
At this time, I was standing in front of the stone wall.
Through the dim light, I noticed the weird and evil face of the weasel at a glance.
This portrait of a yellow-skinned head and a woman's body would make others feel troubled when they look at it. .
Because of the unexpectedness, I almost dropped the cigarette in my hand to the ground.
I quickly pinched the end of the cigarette with my fingers, put it on my mouth and took a deep puff, which calmed down my surprised and unexpected mood.
The low-quality cut tobacco was mixed with dead leaves, and the smoke that came out after taking a puff was like a smoking chimney when lighting a stove.
Ding Sitian next to me choked and coughed.
She waved her hand to drive away the smoke: "Are you just that?
Can't you smoke less?
You're doing it at such a young age?
If you become addicted to cigarettes, it will be difficult for you to smoke in the future.
"I think Ding Sitian has all the advantages.
The only small flaw is that she cannot tolerate others smoking.
Whenever she sees me and the fat man smoking, she always tells Comrade Lenin to quit smoking. things that young Comrade Lenin When he was living in poverty, he was also very addicted to cigarettes.
Once, Lenin’s mother said to him: “Dear Vladimirovich, can’t you smoke less?”
What she said was indeed the mother of a great man.
It's just different, she doesn't tell you directly Can you stop smoking?
Instead, ask if you can smoke less.
What a great philosophical statement.
It is both gentle and kind, but also supportive of others.
She is worthy of being a woman among women.
After being said by his mother with such earnest words. , Comrade Lenin never smoked again.
At this time, Ding Sitian mentioned this matter again and persuaded me to follow the example of great people and let me quit smoking.
But my mind was all on looking at the portrait of "Huang Fairy" and I didn't pay much attention to her words.
My eyes were tight.
Staring at the carvings on the stone wall, Ding Sitian answered half self-deprecatingly and half coping: "Well, it's just about quitting smoking.
I think quitting smoking is actually not difficult at all.
I have quit more than a hundred times in the past six months."
Ding Sitian saw that I was absent-minded in my answer and was concentrating on looking at the stone wall, so she followed my gaze and looked over.
The carvings on the stone screen were extremely complicated, and the evil image of Huang Xiangu only occupied a corner of it.
When she saw the hateful weasel face clearly, she was also startled, covered her mouth with her hand, and almost screamed.
The weasel-faced woman in the painting has a very strange posture and behavior, as if she is muttering something in her mouth and doing some magic.
There is a large box with ancient patterns in front of her, the mouth of the box is half open and half hidden, in front of the stone wall.
In the middle, there was a woman lying upright.
The woman was wearing a mask and gorgeous scale clothes.
Her lying posture was particularly stiff, and she seemed to be a carefully dressed corpse.
Under the female corpse and the "Huang Fairy", there is a bird with long feathers that sounds like a chicken and a pheasant.
It is flying upwards holding a vague human figure.
I have been in the Northeast mountainous area for half a year.

Although the location is remote, it is still I have seen many mysterious folk customs preserved at the lowest level of the folk.
Looking at this strange-looking bird, I found that its shape is very similar to the "soul-inducing chicken" in the folklore of Daxinganling.
Legend has it that after a person dies, he turns into a ghost, and a ghost returns.
His essence returns to heaven, his flesh returns to earth, his blood returns to water, his pulse returns to rivers, his voice returns to thunder, his movements return to wind, his eyes return to sun and moon, his bones return to wood, and his tendons return to wood.
Return to the mountains, teeth to stone, ointment to dew, hair to grass, and breath to the dead and return to the underworld.
A person's life depends on one continuous breath.
Once his breathing stops and he dies, this yang breath will immediately fall into the vastness of the earth.
In this concept and custom, when someone in the family dies, a rooster should be slaughtered immediately and the chicken should be sacrificed.
The blood is smeared on the corpse.
According to legend, the soul of the rooster can carry the spirit of the deceased.
In order to avoid falling into reincarnation and suffering catastrophe again, in the village where I jumped in line, there were great dancers, that is, shaman dances, as well as goddesses and divine men who made "soul-inducing chickens" for the dead.
During the movement, these Everyone was beaten up, and during the criticism meeting, they confessed their crimes, and I was able to find out.
At this time, the fat man saw that Ding Sitian and I were watching endlessly, so he came over to join in the fun.
The three of us saw that the content on the natural emerald stone screen was bizarre and absurd.
It was really difficult to get a glimpse of the mystery.
We could only guess based on what we saw in our eyes.
It seemed that this What is recorded on the natural jade stone screen is that "Huang Xiangu" performed magic, using a kind of "soul-inducing chicken" or "paper bird" In some caves in the mountains, you can also see similar ancient sacred bird totems, commonly known as the Dayu Death Bird by the locals.
This sacred bird can only attract the souls of the dead, and the soul of the dead female corpse wearing a mask, He was rescued from the underworld with the intention of resurrecting him, and the inseparable box of "Huang Xiangu" is probably the source of his evil magic.
This is completely different from my previous guess.
It seems that the "Hundred Eyes Cave" surrounded by countless bizarre legends is definitely not the place where the tomb robbers "Ni'erhui" hide treasures.
They went through great troubles to dig out the treasure under Huang Pizi's grave The box was transported to the depths of the grassland.
Could it be that it was to summon the soul of a dead ghost who had been dead for thousands of years?
I couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in my heart when I thought of this, and I became more and more curious.
Seeing how old this natural emerald stone screen was, I thought that the female corpse wearing the mask must be an ancient person.
Who is she and where is she now?
After the Hu bandits from the "Ni'er Hui" came here, what exactly happened?
Whether the legend about the disappearance of people and animals near Baiyan Cave was related to it?
Various thoughts came and went in their minds, but the more they thought about it, the more clueless they became.
The fat man suddenly slapped his thigh: "Speaking of Lao Hu, I suddenly remembered something.
Look what these buried stones look like.
The more I look at them, the more familiar they look.
Have we met somewhere before?"
My attention was focused on the box belonging to "Huang Fairy Aunt".
I was wondering what rare things were in the box.
I was interrupted by the fat man's words while I was thinking about it.
I took the opportunity to look at the stones buried in the ground.
After a few glances, I suddenly remembered that I was deep in the Daxingan Mountains.
In many old houses in the mountains, round rocks are placed in the corners of the house.
Some are half buried with soil, and some are simply placed directly in the house.
We educated youth have just settled in the mountains, and we are not interested in this kind of rocks in the house.
I don’t understand the practice of putting stones in it.
I think it’s completely It didn't make any sense.
Later, I got acquainted with the mountain people in the village.
After many inquiries, I learned that these stones were left before liberation.
In the early years, people used this method to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.

Ancient books mentioned: "If you bury stones everywhere, there will be no ghosts in your home."
This is These stones are used to suppress ghosts.
Among the folk in the Northeast, there are many legends about zombies and hanged ghosts doing evil things.
People living in the barren mountains gradually formed this custom in order to keep their peace.
As for the specific beginning, In what era, it is impossible to verify now
