He raised his head and shouted: "Run!"
We turned around and ran away like crazy!
I don’t even know what happened!
In the dark tomb passage, several flashes of lightning flashed back and forth, running fast! Xiaoxuan fell down and I went to help her. At this moment, I looked back with a flashlight.
The black water in the coffin is like thick black blood! As it flowed outwards from the main tomb chamber, the strange fragrance became more and more obvious. I could smell it even from such a distance.
He went out as fast as he could, and ordered his head to cover the hole with wooden boards. Then he smelled his clothes and said anxiously: "Go to the river and take a bath! Then take off your clothes and burn them!"
"Taking a bath? Burning clothes? What's wrong?" Dou Sprout asked in confusion.
"Don't ask so many questions now! I'll take the snapshot! I'll explain the specific reasons later!"
We hurriedly trotted to the edge of the Dulong River. Under the urging of our heads, several of us grown men took off our clothes and jumped into the water.
Seeing Xiaoxuan's slight hesitation, I persuaded: "I can't worry about so much now! Just listen to the leader! None of us men are looking at you! Come down and wash it quickly!"
I vaguely guessed that the reason why they let us go into the river to bathe was because of the strange fragrance on our clothes and bodies.
Xiaoxuan said "Oh" and began to untie her belt and take off her clothes.
Seeing Dou Sprouts sneaking a glance out of the corner of his eye, I slapped him on the head and told him not to look!
The river flow is very fast, and the water feels very cold when it hits your body. In previous years, it would snow in Zheduo Mountain in Kangding in September and October, so it is relatively cold at this time. The cold water makes people shiver when taking a dip.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, we gathered the old clothes we took off and lit a fire next to the camp to burn them all. Not only the clothes and pants were burned, but also everyone's underpants.
A group of people sat around the fire. The fragrance was no longer on our bodies, and we were worried about our heads. He took out half a bottle of toilet water from his bag and asked us to apply a little bit on our hands and legs.
He took a deep breath of cigarette and turned his head to look in the direction of the hole covered with wooden boards, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Brother Yu threw a branch into the bonfire and asked, "Boss, what on earth is that coffin?"
Dou Sprouts also said: "Yes, Boss, I'm also curious, isn't there a big rice dumpling in it?"
Zongzi is like a zombie. Anyone who hears these two words at night feels uncomfortable. I scold Dou Sprout to stop talking nonsense.
After a few seconds, he squinted his head and said in a deep voice: "We are from the north, and Shu belongs to the south. Therefore, you young people have never heard of many things before. You know the rumors of hanging coffins in Shu." ?"
Everyone shook their heads.
I have heard a little about it, but I know little about it. I only know that this burial method is very mysterious and has many unsolved mysteries. The experts are still studying it.
He smoked his head and choked his throat. He coughed and said, "I'll tell you a true story."
"About twenty-three years ago, in Xuchang, Henan, an old leader nicknamed Zhao Laoluo was entrusted by a wealthy boss to take his people to the vicinity of Crab Creek in Gong County, Sichuan, trying to Steal a Bo people hanging coffin in a cave."
"Do you guys know the Bo people?"
We looked at each other and shook our heads. We had never heard of it at all.
He stamped out the cigarette butt and said with squinted eyes: "The Bo people are a group of primitive ethnic minorities living in southern Sichuan during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. This group of people was small in number and more mysterious than the Miao people in the Miao Village at that time. Hundreds of years later, this ethnic group Destroyed by the Ming Dynasty army."
He turned his head and asked me: "In the caves on the Wuxia Mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River, there are many rotten coffins from ancient times. Yunfeng, do you know this?"
I nodded and said yes. I heard people say that the people buried in the coffins were all former Ba people.
He shook his head and said: "They made a mistake. They are not Ba people, but Bo people. Those hundreds of rotten coffins on the Three Gorges Mountain are all Bo people."
He recalled, and continued: "At that time, Zhao Laoluo, the old leader of Xuchang, and a group of seven people, climbed Wushan Mountain to steal hanging coffins, not to find burial objects, but to steal the mummies of the ancient Bo people."
I was confused and asked what this was for? I have never heard of anyone in China who specializes in collecting mummies.
"You are young and have not experienced that era. At that time, the three most popular things in society were qigong masters, miraculous doctors and folk remedies, and scientific health preservation."
Boss said: "There was a rumor at that time that grinding the mummies of the ancient Bo people into powder could improve skin elasticity, whiten the skin, and enlarge the breasts of women after drinking it."
Dou Sprout was eating dry food. When he heard what Boss said, he choked and coughed loudly with a red face. Brother Yu patted his back.
Xiaoxuan asked in surprise: "Botou, is this true?"
"What, you want to try?"
Xiaoxuan shook her head quickly.
"It may have some effect. I heard that people abroad also had the habit of using mummy powder to make coffee at that time," said the head leader: "Zhao Laoluo's seven people later all died on Wuxia Mountain. I asked several people in Sichuan back then. People in the industry, their responses to me are the same.”
"The seven people of Zhao Laoluo had a scent on their bodies. This scent attracted a group of wild monkeys. The monkeys cut them into pieces. Some monkeys were dragging a leg, and some were holding a head. They were frightened at that time. many people."
My face turned pale, and the fragrance I mentioned must be the fragrance we were wearing just now.
He raised his head and said in a deep voice: "I will let you take a bath immediately, because it is said in ancient books that the Bo people are brave and fierce. They have two abilities. One is that adult men are generally very strong, and the other is that they know the mysterious monkey taming skills. , the Ming Dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of troops to eliminate more than a thousand of them."
"So, be smart when you go to bed tonight. Stay awake and don't sleep too hard. Yunfeng, you and Yazai will stay vigil for the first half of the night and change people in the second half of the night. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Everyone nodded.
Later, I did some research and found out that there is a word in the dictionary called "Bo people train monkeys", which is a very mysterious skill.
A little after 10 o'clock, others went to rest one after another, and Dou Sprout and I watched the fire and kept vigil.
At 11 o'clock, Douyazai crossed his arms, snored against a small tree, and fell asleep.
I didn't call him, I just smoked on my own and stood by the fire in a daze.
In the dead of night, when I was alone, I thought of Magen again. I took out the bamboo flute and looked at it. My eyes were a little moist, as if I saw Magen sitting next to the fire. She was dressed in white and smiling at me.
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Dou Sprout changed from sleeping on his back to sleeping on his back. He was lying on the ground with his mouth slightly open and drooling from the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know if it was a mosquito bite or an insect bite, but Dou Yazai closed his eyes and reached into his pants with his backhand and buttoned his butt. At this time, I suddenly saw his red underpants, and my face suddenly changed!
I ran over and shook him awake.
"Ah...what's wrong, Fengzi, has the shift changed?" Dou Sprout said sleepily.
"I burned my head and clothes just now! Didn't you take off your panties?"
Douyazai scratched his head and said, "No, you don't have to spend ten yuan to buy a new pair. There is no fragrance on my pants at all. I smelled them and they stink. If you don't believe me, take them off and you can smell them."
