Lu Fei and Wang Zijun both wanted to show off in front of Qu Mo, so they followed me. Shen Bing also came to join in the fun, so why did Qu Mo stay in the car alone? The five of us returned to the village and quietly walked along the path on the slope, following the direction of the fire.
There are not many households in the village, but only two rows of houses on the slope, long and narrow from east to west. We walked on the path, and the roofs of the houses on the slope were right under our feet.
When we arrived at the western entrance of the village, we saw a fire burning in the snow in the distance. There was a figure kneeling on the ground, facing the mountain wall, as if he was worshipping something. We couldn't help but feel very curious. The residents of the entire mountain village closed their doors and turned off the lights, as if they were afraid of some disaster, and what was this person doing here alone
We looked at each other and felt that this was more and more strange. We all tiptoed and quietly slipped behind a row of large locust trees.
When I got there, I found that there was not only this person, but also a coffin placed on the cliff in front of me. Damn, this is even more mysterious!
The man knelt in the snow, in front of him was a rectangular stone incense burner with a bunch of incense in it, in front of the incense burner was a large stone brazier with a strong flame burning inside. The man muttered something in his mouth, holding pieces of yellow paper and throwing them into the brazier.
We discerning people can immediately tell that this is the place where the village holds sacrifices. There is a cave entrance on the mountain wall in front, and there may be statues of gods enshrined inside. In the mountainous area, some places directly open a cave on the mountain wall and carve statues of gods inside for worship. This is the case with the Tianlongshan Grottoes in the Western Hills of Taiyuan.
But there is a coffin here, so I don't know what it means. Maybe it is a custom in the village that people who have just died should be prayed for outside the temple. But I don't think that's the case. Why does the whole village stay indoors at night as if there is a disaster
The five of us crouched quietly behind the tree, staring ahead, not daring to breathe. Lu Fei was right next to me, and I pointed ahead, asking him what was going on. Lu Fei shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Just when we were feeling strange, there was a sudden noise from the coffin, which scared us all. Damn it, you said you saw a coffin in the middle of the night, and there was a noise coming from inside. Let’s not talk about whether it was a corpse, at this time, people will definitely have a conditioned reflex, and everyone will feel creepy.
The man was so frightened that he sat down on his feet, his hands trembled, and the yellow paper fell outside the brazier.
I stared at the coffin and the dark hole behind it, feeling frightened. It seemed as if there was a ghost sticking its head out of the hole and looking at us. I thought to myself that I should open my Yin-Yang eyes, and took out the eye-dotting pen to open my spirit eyes. The moment I opened my Yin-Yang eyes, I immediately saw a blood-red head sticking out of the hole. Oh my god, there really is something ghost!
The head could not be seen clearly, and it was a bloody mess reflected by the firelight. Against the backdrop of the snow, it looked extremely hideous and terrifying!
Luckily, none of the four of them could see it, because it was too scary. I waved at them, telling them to wait here and not move, while I went over to take a look.
This place is like a small valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and except for the front of the cave, there are big trees everywhere. I reached into my bag and took out the peach wood sword. I sneaked to the side of the cave under the cover of the trees. The person burning the paper was concentrating on the coffin and didn't notice my faint footsteps at all.
