The three major ancient mysteries in western Hunan are "driving corpses, witchcraft and witchcraft", and among them "driving corpses" and "witchcraft" are the most widely circulated.
Everyone has heard a few of them, and only "Luodong" knows them.
There are fewer people.
To be understood literally, "falling into a cave" seems to mean that a person falls into a cave.
In fact, this is not the case.
It is not a person falling into a cave.
To be precise, it should be a soul falling into a cave.
And only women can "fall into a cave." .
One name in the Miao language is "Zhudingpaluo"; the other is "Liao Gunba".
"Zhudingpaluo" means "the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart", which contains two meanings.
One is that it sinks from the ground and is separated from the surroundings; the other is that the soul is isolated from the outside world and enters another world.
There are many caves and deep forests in western Hunan, so the natives have a very primitive worship of caves.
They believe that all things have animism, and there is a supernatural spirit behind any natural object.
The so-called "mountains have mountain gods, trees have tree gods, and water have water gods." ", the river has a river god", and the dark and mysterious cave must have a "cave god".
There is a local industry of "exploring caves to find gold veins", which is even more mysterious than digging up graves to find treasures.
Countless thrilling legends have been told over thousands of years.
There are many karst caves in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi.
The karst caves are underground caves cut and eroded by water flow.
Their structures are more complex than capillaries and as deep and unpredictable as a maze.
Anyone who goes to a cave to search for golden veins must worship the ancestors and mountain gods before opening the cave.
This matter must be presided over by the cave owner of the golden cave.
The most critical link is to recite the "Mountain Opening Activation Mantra".
This ancient curse has been passed down from generation to generation, but it can only be passed on individually.
It cannot be known to all the Jin guests.
There is only one leader in a group of Jin guests.
Only this leader knows the curse to open the cave.
If there are two people in the same group, Knowing the spell, it will definitely be divided into two groups.
The mantra is roughly: "The grinding gods from the southeast and northwest guide the disciples to make gold grinding wheels; the Dragon King in the sea sends immortal water, and the Buddha in the west gives grinding pillars; the Meishan brothers come to carry the rock, and Master Lu Ban divides the ink buckets; there are mountain gods in mountains, cave gods in caves, and mountain gods in caves.
The seventy-two immortals of God instruct their disciples not to offend against cave evils, mountain evils, and the seventy-two evils of heaven, earth, water, fire, and earth."
Women dare not go into the mountains to look for gold veins, because in the remote Xiangxi area, there are countless mysterious caves, large and small, forming countless caves and sinkholes.
The caves are even more mysterious because of their usual darkness, depth, and moisture.
It's weird, every time the mountain wind passes by, it seems like you can hear the call of the cave god coming from somewhere.
If a young girl suddenly enters a state of obsession after entering the mountains, she is probably fascinated by the illusion of the cave god.
To put it bluntly, her soul has been lost.
A girl who falls into a cave will most likely die.
Occasionally, a girl can come back alive, but she will also become crazy and die before long.
Her soul seems to have been taken away by the cave god.
The girl's parents had no choice but to bury her favorite things with her and burn them at the entrance of the cave.
This was considered a decent funeral for their daughter
