Chapter 330 Tracking the Mysterious Zombie
He***, we earthlings have a strong curiosity, which means that this curiosity often ruins big things and delays serious matters! Not only does it kill cats, but it also kills people.
But there are always some things that make people wonder. Even if you take risks, you must figure it out clearly when you fly into the fire, otherwise it will be as uncomfortable as a cat's claw.
Take today's Langlang International metropolis, Beijing, which has more than 20 million people. The ancient and huge mysterious Forbidden City is located in the center of the city. Although it is now open to the public as a museum, Chinese and foreign tourists can visit freely, but only a small part of it is open to the public.
There are still a large number of mysterious palaces and houses in the Forbidden City, which are never open to the public!
No one can tell the specific inside story! But I believe that all the children's shoes who have been there have seen that many doors in the palace are locked with locks and must be separated by a solid iron fence, so that all Chinese and foreign tourists cannot approach.
When I was a child, when I was eighteen years old, I saw so many deep courtyards in the Forbidden City, all of which closed the iron doors or wooden doors decorated with vermilion-shaped spikes, and locked them with heavy and cold iron generals. I wanted to climb over the wall to see what happened.
The mysterious Western Six Palaces were the places where the concubines like flowers and jade in the Qing Dynasty lived, including Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Taiji Palace. All of them lived in a large number of palace maids and concubines who were offered to the emperor to enjoy timely.
Empress Dowager Cixi, who likes to rule from behind the curtain, has lived in the West Six Palace for most of her life. How many strange and terrible stories have happened there? How many wronged souls have been beaten to death or given death? It is unknown now...
Since the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the revolutionary army, after a few years, the royal family were sent by Feng Yuxiang to bombard the Forbidden City.
Later, since there was basically no one living here, it turned into a huge haunted house! In the late night, when lightning, thunder and heavy rain were pouring, the Forbidden City managers still saw palace maids or eunuchs walking with lanterns late at night...
At that time, I was so scared that I was terrified and my soul was scattered in my heart!
And after five o'clock every afternoon, it is the time for the Forbidden City to close and clear the venue.
Because that hour is the most yin energy in the Forbidden City! So at five o'clock, the Forbidden City will be cleared firmly. No matter whether you are an overseas Chinese or a foreigner, no matter whether you are a big-name social celebrity or a first-generation official, it is useless.
I still remember when I first went to the Forbidden City, I hadn't moved enough at 5 pm, so I was driven out of the palace by the management staff with everyone. I was muttering to myself: "The sun is still two high, so I won't let you see it so early, what's the matter?"
Now it is even more rigorous. When clearing the market after five o'clock, you will use a big wolfdog with a sensitive sense of smell and sufficient deterrence! No one who wants to stay to explore the secrets or even steal treasures can hide it!
In recent years, many old outdoors who love adventures to reveal secrets have voluntarily formed many suicide squad-style "Ghost-Discovering Building Small Groups" in order to understand these riddles, but none of them successfully entered the Forbidden City at night.
The total area of this royal Forbidden City is as high as more than 720,000 square meters. At present, those forbidden areas that are mysteriously closed and never allowed to visit are nearly 400,000 square meters.
Moreover, as midnight comes, the lonely ghosts in the palace who have been unjustly killed in the past dynasties came out to wander, saying that they were small roads in the West Six Palaces and there were female ghosts who specialize in choking their necks.
For hundreds of years, there have been many palace maids who were jealous of the emperor and did not receive favor from the emperor and Yulu, and were eventually sentenced to death by the empress and concubines, or were killed alive.
When the liberation was just around the corner, people who spent the night in the Forbidden City would often disappear mysteriously. Some people even saw shadows on the red walls of the Forbidden City when it rained heavily and thundered in summer. Most of the shadows were palace maids who were killed in that year.
Also, at two or three o'clock in the evening, you often hear the miserable cry of women! These things are not rumors. The Forbidden City administrators and the older generation have been witnesses or witnesses.
These mysterious supernatural phenomena even attracted the attention of the [Exploration and Discovery Column Group] and the footsteps of revealing the secrets...
So, looking at it from afar, the various incredible supernatural phenomena in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad are really painful and puzzling!
But the more painful it hurts, the more you have to risk your life to explore and solve puzzles. Many answers are often slowly revealed, but we can't keep up with the pace of supernatural events, so we always run while exploring...
Speaking of which, the Qi Monsters took steps and followed the corpse-drivers from afar, hanging their whereabouts. They wanted to see what happened to these corpse-drivers and what they drove the corpse for! Why do the dead zombies still walk? And they are rugged mountain roads, so they can't fall down!
At this moment, the night in the mountains is not quiet, without birds and insects, and from time to time there are low roars of wild beasts and creepy wolf howls. The sounds pierce the night sky and cut through the night sky, making the night in the mountains even more mysterious and terrifying.
In order not to alert the corpse-driver, the seventh brother asked the blood drip to lead the horse, and the horse led the other BMWs slowly walked at the end, letting the golden retriever and the roar monkey follow the horse, and he put the black starling into the bag himself in case it screamed like a long tongue woman.
I heard the corpse-driver in front of me continue to shake the soul-catching bell, and the ding-bell rings ring all the way, carrying a mysterious big bamboo basket, and opening the way in front.
It seems that the six zombies are all over 1.7 meters tall, with their arms straight and their legs not bent. They jump forward one by one, just like what they performed on TV.
The corpse-driver who broke the back also carried a big bamboo basket, looking heavy, and didn't know what treasure it contained. He beat the gongs and drums and followed the zombies to prevent these soulless zombies from falling behind.
The down-to-earth and steady blood droplets led the horse alone, following the six monsters far away, while the six monsters followed the corpse-driver and walked along the mountain road. The scene was strange and terrifying. If a hunter or a night walker encountered it, it would be strange if the soul was not scared out of his body.
Blood Drops led the horse behind him. Although he couldn't figure out the inside story of driving the corpse, he had never heard of the weird stories about driving the corpse from his grandfather since he was a child. Moreover, his grandfather held his little hand and had seen such a terrifying and weird scene once, so he was a little unsurprising.
The six monsters are different. Although they robbed countless tombs, have heard of ghosts and gods, and have a little knowledge of the strange stories of driving corpses, they have never seen them personally when they grew up so old.
And he knew nothing about the inside story of driving the corpse, and he couldn't figure it out: the zombie was obviously dead, so why didn't it rot and smelly, and he could walk.
This is completely different from the ghost, so although the six monsters dare not be too close to the corpse-driver, they are reluctant to relax and always hang them. If they want to see what they want, they must solve the answer.
Ya's ancient corpse driving has always been recorded in folk history and is widely circulated!
In some areas, it is more common and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but there are many people talking about it and many people know it, but there are almost no ones who know the truth. Therefore, the speaker is full of surprise and confused when he listens.
Like Xiangxi, which is famous for driving corpses, it has been abundant in red cinnabar since ancient times, and cinnabar has n outstanding pharmacological effects. Therefore, until today, the funeral customs in Xiangxi still have the habit of using cinnabar.
Before entering the coffin, the family will use red cinnabar to tap the head, back, chest, left and right hands, feet and other seven orifices, ears, nose, and mouth to seal the seven souls and three souls, and not to come out to harm others.
After digging the tomb for the deceased, red cinnabar should be scattered at the bottom, which means the "old house farm" in the town.
To this day, many folk customs and historians are still constantly studying the phenomenon of Miao people driving corpses in western Hunan, and Miao people are the first nation to invent weapons, criminal law and witchcraft! The most terrifying and mysterious phenomenon of corpse driving is an important part of witchcraft in western Hunan.
To put it bluntly, corpse driving is a kind of witchcraft, a branch of Chu witch culture, but what is the truth of this witchcraft? What is the difference between it and Haitian witchcraft, a small overseas country? No one can tell it clearly except the corpse driving people.
In order to find out the secret that the corpse-driven driver and the zombie were driven away, Brother Qi told everyone not to get too close, but he himself used the light night walking technique to slowly approach the corpse-driven team, and walked silently like a night cat in the bamboo forest very close to them.
I saw the two corpse-drivers wearing straw hats, as if no one was around!
One big sashed soul bell, and the other slams the Yin Gong from time to time, they believe! No one will pass by in the barren mountains late at night. Even if you pass by, you will be shocked when you hear the sound of the soul bell and Yin Gong, and you will avoid it from afar when you see zombies.
But these two mysterious guys who drove corpses are quite dedicated. No matter whether there are people or people, they still follow the old rules of the corpse driver, and are very rigorous and unremitting.
Moreover, the corpse-driver behind him was walking with a big basket on his back while muttering something. Brother Qi finally understood that what he was reading was Wen Tianxiang's righteous song. He had heard of this. Wen Tianxiang's righteous song, which ordinary people can ward off evil spirits.
However, these mysterious and brave corpse-drivers were driving the corpse while chanting the righteous song of warding off evil spirits and avoiding ghosts, which made Qi Ge feel extremely funny.
Don’t mention this, even the late famous Xiangxi writer Mr. Shen Congwen described his experience of returning to his hometown to interview a famous corpse-driver in "The People in Yuanling"!
However, this famous Chinese writer could not solve the mystery until his death, because the old corpse-driver who had experienced vicissitudes and worldly affairs only smiled at him mysteriously but refused to reveal any mystery.
Brother Qi was afraid that if he would alarm the corpse-driver, he finally opened the distance.
After about three hours of walking, I don’t know if the zombies were tired or the zombies were tired. The two zombies in front and behind made strange screams at the same time. The zombies stood there as if they heard the order to start and stop.
The zombie stopped leaving, but his arms were still stretched straight, as if he had been used to immobilize his body or had a hole.
The two corpse-drivers were not stupid. They took off the heavy bamboo basket behind them, put them in front of them, threw the soul-catching bell and Yin Luo on the grass beside them, sat down and started to rest and breathe.
Brother Seven also sat down in the bamboo forest next to the path behind the corpse driver, and the six monsters slowly rushed up. From time to time, they peeked at the zombies and corpse drivers in front of them in the hazy moonlight, and felt that it was extremely mysterious and incredible.
