Tian Muqing and I looked at the big smoke disher together, waiting for him to say, who is the dead body lying in the golden nanmu coffin?
Dayan Die'er said: "I never thought before that the King of Nuo was buried in the Xiong'er Mountain Ancient Cemetery."
I said: "The upper, middle and lower caves are used as underground palaces, and the gloomy golden nanmu is used as the coffin.
There are so many golden-headed and jade-shaped figurines in the palace.
I think the ones buried here are also princes, but I don't know if there is a Nuo king.
Which dynasty and generation are they from?
Brother Die'er, king of the princes, how did you know that he was King Nuo?"
Dayan Die'er said: "Brother, I was just as confused as you until I saw the multi-headed monsters on the top of the palace, each with a mandrill-like mask on their head, and the temple figurines whose heads were chopped off and replaced with gold heads.
I immediately thought of Two years ago when I went to Jiangxi to collect things, I saw a few old masks made of tree bark.
I asked them what they were.
What is it used for?
I heard people say it was a Nuo mask.
They were used to perform Nuo masks when searching for ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.
The Nuo mask was the mask used at that time.
I don’t think anyone recognized this thing so I didn’t want it, but I heard a lot about it from the locals.
According to the legend of Nuo God and King Nuo, those mummies wearing jade and having their heads cut off were Nuo generals during the Western Han Dynasty."
I remember spending the night under Cao Xie Ridge the day before.
I saw three zombies in coffins with bark masks.
However, they had been at the bottom of the lake for so many years that the colorful patterns on the bark were gone.
Later, I saw a deer head on the head of the front hall.
The corpse of a female woman wearing a walking crown has a mask shaped like a mandrill on her face.
It turns out that this is a Nuo mask.
Those figurines holding the temple are Nuo generals.
Where is the head on the accent?
Dayan Die'er said: "Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was a fat man.
He conquered the Xiongnu to reach the Western Regions, opened up new territories, and made his power known to all generations.
The emperor has done his best by doing this.
He suffers from the fact that he cannot live forever.
Whoever becomes the emperor will win.
You don’t want to die either, right?”
Shamelessly, while prying the copper ring on the coffin, he interjected: "I can't see it.
In fact, no one wants to die even if he is not an emperor.
If he doesn't want to die, why not just drink more bastard soup and live forever."
Dayan Die'er said: "I don't know whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drank Bastard Soup.
Anyway, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not want to die, so he was particularly superstitious about witches and monsters.
A long time ago, there was a Nuo Kingdom on the bank of the Yellow River.
After its demise, the people used sects to The form has survived, like Taoism or Buddhism, which is also a major sect, and the believers are still called leaders He was the king of Nuo.
In the Han Dynasty, Nuo religion became very popular.
Nuo refers to many rituals in which gods are invited to search for ghosts to drive away evil spirits and diseases.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s Weiyang Palace would invite gods to search for Nuo every year, which is also called jumping mandrills.
Nuo generals would wear scary masks on their faces The mandrill mask of the ghost, holding a candle and a long sword, stepping on the Big Dipper, driving out evil spirits from door to door, passing the fire and abandoning it in Luoshui. , but once a search for Nuo invaded the Forbidden Palace, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beheaded twenty-four Nuo generals in a rage.
Unexpectedly, the ghosts of the victims remained, and the Weiyang Palace became haunted as soon as it got dark, and the bells and tripods rang.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was regretful and afraid, so he had no choice but to build a temple to enshrine the gods and confer these twenty-four innocent souls as golden-armored generals to protect the country.
The people have enjoyed the incense forever for thousands of years.
The corpses and heads of the Nuo generals have since been separated and enshrined in shrines in Nuo temples in various places.

The shrines are written with the words "serve the country and bring peace to the people" and commend themselves.
The ghosts have disappeared with swords and swords.
In a few places, the Nuo generals worshiped have no bodies, only heads, and in other places, they only have bodies but no heads.”
I said: "It's really shocking.
The Nuo gods worshiped in temples are still dead heads."
Dayan Die'er said: "It's not a real human head, it's said to be just a clay statue.
According to legend, the place where the head is worshipped is called Open-mouth Nuo.
When searching for ghosts and monsters, a mantra must be recited.
The place where headless corpses are worshipped is called Shunkou Nuo.
No sound comes out of your mouth while jumping into a mandrill , Nuo religion once flourished, but for unknown reasons, it suddenly declined in later generations.
Today, in places such as Guizhou and Jiangxi in the southwest, some ancient customs of searching for ghosts and dancing in Nuo are still retained.
However, after being passed down for thousands of years, it has become different from the previous Nuo It’s completely different.”
I asked Dayan Die'er: "Is the Weiyang Palace beheading general of Nuo religion a god?
Is it just a legend or is it true?"
Dayan Die'er said: "It is a folk legend that Weiyang Palace beheaded generals and became gods.
It is difficult to say whether this is true.
As for the annual search for Nuo in the palace of the Han Dynasty to drive away ghosts, it is true.
I think since There are these palace-protecting figurines in the underground palace, so the legend is quite credible.”
I thought to myself: "People who worship the Nuo God live together around this mountain, and in the heart of the mountain is the resting place of the Nuo King.
Thousands of years ago, there was a disaster where the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.
The mountains sank to the bottom of the lake, and the Nuo religion suddenly declined.
I am afraid that this will happen."
The matter cannot be separated, but after learning that the king of Nuo was buried in the ancient tomb, regarding what we met and saw, This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Why did the Nuo king in the golden nanmu coffin die so tragically when he was disemboweled?
Why does the Nuo king appear in the nightmares of the Liao tomb murals and the black dog swallows the moon?
What does it mean in the front hall?
Who are the female corpses buried with the deer's head and waving crowns, and the piles of withered bones in the middle hall?"
Dayan Die'er said: "Brother, you ask so many questions.
I can't answer your brother.
But you mentioned disembowelment.
It is said that there is an ancient Nuo custom called intestinal dissection.
Nowadays, when searching for Nuo mandrills in the countryside, There were people dressed up as Nuo generals and yellow ghosts.
Nuo generals found the yellow ghosts and laid them on the ground, disembowelled them."
The more I listened, the more curious I became: "The Nuo general disemboweled the captured yellow ghost, so what was in the golden nanmu coffin was not the Nuo king, but a yellow ghost.
The yellow ghost was a water ghost who drowned in the Yellow River":
