If asked how to deal with this dead man's bay, Chen Jingle's answer is simple and crude.
All the skeletons from the bottom of the river were taken out and reburied in selected places. Although they could not enjoy incense and worship during festivals, they would not rot at the bottom of the river and never see the light of day.
At last count, a total of 374 incomplete skeletons were buried together on a nearby hill.
A piece of granite was picked up, on which the origin of the deceased and a few Taoist blessings for the deceased were engraved, and buried together in the ground to prevent future generations from accidentally digging it up and not knowing what happened.
In this way, most of the dead energy at the bottom of the river was suddenly reduced.
Of course, it's not over yet.
The river bottom has not been dredged for many years. The mud layer is too thick and a lot of things have accumulated. Including but not limited to old shotguns, shoes and clothing, pots and porcelain, gold, silver, copper and iron and other messy things.
The valuable ones are put away, and the worthless ones are dug into a deep pit and buried on the spot, waiting for natural degradation after thousands of years.
Suddenly a stone slab caught Chen Jingle's attention.
I should say half a piece, the lower half is obviously broken.
The records are in traditional Chinese.
"The Han Dynasty had two Fubos, both of which contributed to the people of Lingnan. The former Fubo was the Marquis of Fulilu, and the latter Fubo was the Marquis of Xinxima. South Vietnam could not return to the Qin Dynasty from the third generation. Although it was briefly passed and officials were placed, it became a barbarian. Fuli began to conquer his country and opened nine counties..."
What a coincidence, it turned out to be the inscription on the Fubo Temple!
I'm just not sure if it's from the Fubo Temple that the old man mentioned earlier.
It would make sense if someone had thrown the inscription into the canal when it was destroyed. But why not just throw it into the reservoir? Obviously the reservoir is closer.
It is worth mentioning that the font of this stone tablet is sharp, like a sword, which shows that the person who carved it may be a chivalrous person.
Not only that, this stone tablet seems to be a magical weapon.
Well, it was.
Now it has long been exhausted and is just an ordinary stone tablet with some age.
Perhaps the Department of Antiquities and Archaeology will be interested in it.
Chen Jingle was surprised and curious as to whether it was the words on it that turned the stone tablet into a magic weapon, or whether it was the words engraved on it that turned it into a magic weapon.
There is a difference between the two.
The latter is okay, but if it's the former, the person who carved the monument is by no means ordinary.
Chen Jingle had no choice but to go to the old man again, and once again asked for information about the Fubo Temple inscription at the cost of a soft hit.
However, the old man recalled that the inscription at that time was engraved on the wall, not on the stone slab, and the engraver was just an ordinary craftsman in the town.
It seems that it is not from the Fubo Temple next to the reservoir.
I don’t know where this Fubo Temple stone tablet came from, why does it appear at the bottom of this canal?
Is there any cause and effect? Really intriguing.
…
While Chen Jingle was busy dealing with Dead Man's Bay, the Command Center of the Chuchuan Civil Affairs Bureau once again discovered strange traces within its jurisdiction.
"Report! A strange signal has been detected, number 07590088, energy level B, locating..."
"Positioning successful!"
"The current location of the target is near the Wuwang Temple in Nanlan Village, Haikang Affiliated City. Comrades from the nearby Civil Affairs Bureau are requested to come and take care of him as soon as possible!"
Class B!
See you again at Class B!
Has B-level weirdness become a big deal these days?
The comrades in the Civil Affairs Bureau couldn't help but complain.
The destination is almost 70 kilometers away from the command center, and driving is obviously too slow. Fortunately, Haikang already has a B-level trickster stationed there.
Besides Zhong Yun and Li Yao, he is also the third B-level trickster in the Chuchuan Bureau.
…
Lin Nan was watching the 6:30 news when he received the task.
"Nanlan Village? Class B weird?"
He knew that Nanlan Village was not far from the city. There was a Chaohai Palace dedicated to the Heavenly Concubine. It was quite large and well-known in Haikang.
A Class B weird thing actually appeared in that place?
"It's troublesome."
There is Beilan Village above Nanlan Village, which is larger. The two villages are connected. If the control is not good and it affects Beilan Village, it will be a big problem.
Lin Nan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took the guy with him and set off.
Compared with Zhong Yun and Li Yaoguo, Lin Nan is older. He is 39 this year. According to the saying of Chuchuan people who like to count their years, he has officially entered the stage of middle-aged men.
In addition to drinking tea, keeping healthy and watching the news, I usually go fishing, run and play beads.
Compared with ordinary people, the mental state of the trolls is more unstable, so they need other things to distract their attention.
Drinking tea can calm you down, watching the news helps you think, fishing cultivates patience, running is for physical fitness, and playing beads is just to follow the trend.
It’s hard to say whether these methods are actually effective, but in the eyes of colleagues, Lin Nan is indeed a mature, stable and trustworthy captain.
At this time, Nanlan Village was holding a traditional village activity.
The local name is Xuan Wuwang Zhentong.
…
The so-called true child of King Wu is actually a type of jī child, also known as a spiritual medium.
The folk saying is to invite gods to come to the body.
Although the Taoist sect admits that this happens, it prohibits its disciples from doing this. The Sutra of "The Jade Grid of the Temple of Heaven" says: All the true gods, immortals and generals do not possess human bodies. If they possess human bodies at all times, they are definitely evil spirits, heretics and unrighteous ghosts.
To put it simply, the mortal body of a real god cannot bear it, and asking gods hastily will only lead to death. So you have an idea of what you are inviting.
However, the practice of supporting the ji is very popular in the Lingnan area, so there is a saying that the qi is in the south and the horse in the north is said. To the north is Chuma, and to the south is Fuji.
There are many types of Fuji in the south. The relatively famous Fuji in Fujian include the official generals, the eight generals, and the jumping boy. They are all a type of Fuji culture.
Commonly seen in the Chuchuan generation are the wandering gods piercing the arrows, turning over the bed of thorns, mountains of swords and seas of fire, etc. The specifics are too brutal to describe. (There are pictures in this comment, please be careful if you are faint of heart.)
A little less impressive is the wandering god carrying the sedan chair.
If during the wandering process, the shrine suddenly sinks to the point that the four strong men can't lift it up because they are blushing, it means that the jitong is about to appear. Someone will turn over and climb onto the top of the divine sedan, and then they can lift it up and continue moving forward. The weight of the person on the top of the sedan will not affect the lifter.
What can I say about Fuqi? Some of them are family traditions, and some of them suddenly come to you and you can't get rid of them even if you want to.
Although it is a type of folk culture, it is not recommended for ordinary people to come into contact with these things.
…
The true boy of King Wu in Nanlan Village refers specifically to the boy under the throne of the Black Snake King.
The Black Snake King is also the exclusive folk god of the old Sanlei area, also known as the "Wuwang God". It comes from the fact that there are many snakes on the peninsula. The ancient people worshiped snakes and believed that snakes were the mounts of gods. In order to please the snake god, the Black Snake King Temple was built among the people.
It is worth mentioning that compared with other traditional positive folk gods, the Black Snake King in most areas of Haikang is given an evil image. He is greedy, greedy, arrogant, rogue, etc., so there is a saying that "Wu Shegong likes to occupy other people's temples". And temples are mostly built outside the village.
The tablets usually read "The Lord of the Realm bestows the illustrious King Wu Snake of Mingshan Cave" or "The Lord of the Realm bestows the mighty and illustrious King Wu Snake". He is a lower-level god than the Realm Master, so he is not a big shot.
For Nanlan Village, this is a true boy born to King Wu only once every ten years, so it is naturally a grand event.
So, in the evening.
After everyone had eaten, they gathered at the Wuwang Temple at the edge of the village to watch the birth of the real boy.
