What?

Not Erya?

Is it Sanya?

There is no beauty mark on her mouth.

Forehead……

But, if it was Sanya, would they allow her to do evil under the dead tree?

The old man sighed, with a sad expression: "Actually, the people here are all mausoleum keepers. They have guarded the mausoleum for generations. According to the ancestral instructions, a sacrificial ceremony must be held every thirty years."

I heard a blind man say this.

Sacrificial activities in ancient times were also very normal, that is, worshiping gods to ensure peace.

In the beginning, human sacrifices were used as sacrifices. Later, the emperor felt that it was too cruel, and finally changed to animals instead.

What the second master said next made me shudder.

He said that a few years ago, their village held a sacrificial event. The original normal practice was to use pigs, cattle and sheep instead.

However, in recent years, successive natural and man-made disasters have led to meager incomes for villagers, and there have also been serious epidemics, such as chicken fever, swine fever, and avian influenza, resulting in widespread deaths of livestock.

The lives of the villagers are becoming increasingly difficult.

Many people think that God is punishing them.

After discussion with the great wizard, it was decided to use human sacrifice.

To appease the anger of God.

Originally, the Second Master strongly opposed it, but the villagers insisted on going their own way and insisted on human sacrifice.

Human sacrifice also requires a virgin, whose age cannot exceed twenty.

It happened that year, due to the opposition of the second master, the great priest was concerned about Erya and Sanya.

After his secret manipulation, he finally decided on the candidate, Sanya.

Suddenly the house was in a state of shock.

The second master couldn't bear his granddaughter being used as a sacrificial victim and wanted to leave Shipan Village.

But I also thought that remembering the centuries-old ancestral precepts would be destroyed because of their son.

The second master hesitated for a moment.

It was his moment of hesitation that delayed him for half a day.

The great priest realized their intention to escape and directly led people to surround them.

Sanya was already frightened at that time.

Crying and calling grandpa to save her.

She doesn't want to die.

But the matter has been controlled by the Archmage and the others, and the Second Master is helpless. No matter what conditions he proposes, the Grand Master will never agree.

For a moment, Sanya lost all his thoughts.

The whole person collapsed on the ground, with a look of horror on his face, and he fainted on the spot.

Da Ya couldn't bear the thought of San Ya going to die.

So I decisively put on makeup and turned into Sanya.

In this way, Daya replaced Sanya and was regarded as the sacrificial victim.

When Sanya woke up, the sacrificial activities were over and Daya had been buried underground.

In those days, Sanya cried until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the pear blossoms were filled with rain.

She was quite helpless and blamed the second master for why he didn't stop them, why he didn't let her die, and why he had to use human sacrifices.

Daya's death was a severe blow to Sanya. She cried and made a fuss at home for several days, refusing to eat or drink. She made a lot of noises and wanted to give her sister back.

Then she locked herself in the room, neither eating nor seeing anyone, including Erya and Erye.

Sanya felt that it was because she had killed her sister, and she was filled with guilt and wanted to avenge her sister, but as a weak woman, she was no match for the great Dharma.

Nothing can be done.

In the end, Sanya was overwhelmed and unable to overcome the test in her heart. After her family fell asleep in the middle of the night, she secretly went to the dead tree and hanged herself.

After her death, she turned into a ghost.

They continued to commit murders, and several people were driven crazy, and even hanged themselves in front of the dead tree.

She also always wanted to take revenge on the people in the village

people.

Many people were frightened and panicked.

The most important thing is that she often destroyed farming, crops, and poultry, which also caused the villagers to lose the basis of their income, and their lives became increasingly difficult. In the end, some families could only eat white rice porridge.

It's really impossible to survive.

Forced to have no other choice, everyone was desperate, so they collectively violated the ancestral precepts and began to dig up the tombs to obtain the antiquities inside in exchange for money.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the blind man and I broke in.

They were worried that the tomb robbers would be discovered, so they deliberately set up a series of plans to scare us away.

After listening, I suddenly realized.

It turns out that the person I met in the old house last night was Sanya, not Erya.

No wonder she wants to kill Fat Tiger, that's why.

The second master beat his chest and felt extremely distressed: "I have gone to look for her several times, but she is still unwilling to see me. After so many years, she still refuses to forgive me. Alas..."

I suddenly understood why Fat Tiger was being taken into consideration. Apart from Sanya's reason, it must also be the Er Ye's deliberate intention.

I can feel that the second master is also dissatisfied with the villagers, and is very worried about the matter of Daya and Sanya. Due to some kind of worry, he cannot make it too obvious, so he has been keeping it secret.

Also, he didn't want to go against the ancestral precepts. It was precisely because of this that he harmed Daya.

Perhaps because of my encounter with Sanya, the second master's attitude towards us has softened a bit.

In fact, guarding the mausoleum means guarding the tomb.

I have a different view on this point.

To guard mausoleums and observe filial piety, descendants should also fulfill their filial piety. Without our ancestors, we would not be where we are now.

But I also think it would be unfair to future generations if they stayed here for generations to watch. After all, dynasties have changed, times have changed, and the ideas of the ancients are very different from those of our modern people.

Just like the current Shipan Village, not communicating with outsiders and being too self-isolated will also affect the development of future generations.

Now that they have started to rob the tomb, it means that they have begun to waver.

Then, that ancestral precept no longer has any binding force.

I was moved by emotion and advised rationally: "Second Master, let me speak frankly. You have been guarding here for generations, which is enough to show everyone's filial piety, but hundreds of years have passed.

Years ago, our ancestors also returned to heaven and earth and entered reincarnation. As descendants, we must also consider our own future. I think even if our ancestors are still alive, they don't want to see their descendants living in poverty. They

And you don’t want to see your descendants digging up your own tomb, right?”

The second master hesitated for a moment and looked at me in surprise.

First, I am not disrespectful to our ancestors. We can respect our ancestors in another way, just like the traditional Qingming Festival, holding sacrificial activities. Or sometimes if we miss our ancestors, we can also come and burn incense to worship. Second

, after hundreds of years, the ghosts of the dead have also entered reincarnation again. The purpose of the ancestors to let people guard the tombs is simply that they just want to be clean after death and do not want to be disturbed. You can also choose to continue living here, but your life philosophy must be

Make changes and communicate more with the outside world. This will be conducive to the spread of knowledge and the progress of future generations.

He was silent for a moment, seeming to reflect on what I just said.

After about the time of eating two sausages, he showed an approving look and nodded: "I didn't expect that you could see so clearly at such a young age. Young people, it's not simple, it's really not simple. It's just that we stole it.

The mausoleum is not greedy for money."

Damn,

Not greedy for money?

You didn't rob tombs for money, so why did you dig up ancestral graves?

And he said it so grandly.

I just want to say in my heart: Second Master, although I am not the extremely smart type,

But don’t rub my IQ against the smooth ground, okay?

It's all about survival.

Regarding tomb robbing, I don’t quite agree.

After all, they have been waiting here for generations to prevent others from digging up the graves of their ancestors and to keep them clean.
