There are many particularities in the use of candles in folk custom. For red things, use red instead of white, use double instead of single. Use white instead of red for white things, use single instead of even.
In the traditional folk customs that are widely used in my country, red candles are used for red events, such as weddings, worshiping gods, or paying tribute to ancestors who have died for more than three years, which symbolizes good luck, and most of them come in pairs. Yes, it has many meanings such as good things coming in pairs.
White things basically refer to funerals or some quite negative things. Folklore believes that white candles have the ability to guide the souls of the dead, and single candles are not used in pairs, because one candle can help the confused souls light the way to the underworld. The effect of guiding the way.
When the candles are in pairs, it is easy for the dead souls to not know which one to follow, and eventually lose their way and become a lonely ghost in the world.
Don't see red in white things, and don't see red in red things. Nowadays, it has almost become an unspoken rule based on traditional folk customs. Red things don't come in vain, seeing them brings bad luck. Seeing white things on a happy day feels unlucky.
It is more important not to see red in everything. In a large number of folklore, the world in the eyes of ghosts is very different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people. Red things are likely to be regarded as blood by them, which will trigger a series of events.
From a long time ago, Shen Lin discovered that there were many things applicable to ghosts in the folklore passed down by his ancestors.
Just like a long time ago, our ancestors passed through blood and death in the horror recovery, and passed down the experiences they gained through stories or folk customs to enlighten future generations.
From then on, Shen Lin learned as much as possible about folk customs in case it could be used.
Several practices proved to Shen Lin the correctness of the experience left by his ancestors. But the scene in front of him subverted some of Shen Lin's perceptions. The red candle served as the wick and the red lantern led the way, but it happened to touch the ghost village that had disappeared from this world for decades.
If Shen Lin remembers correctly, dragon and phoenix candles have been used in weddings since ancient times. The male is on the left and the female is on the right, with the dragon on the left and the phoenix on the right, which means that the two newlyweds at the wedding are auspicious and rising steadily.
The dragon and phoenix candle used for weddings turned out to be the key to opening Dongwang Village. A lot of thoughts filled Shen Lin's mind, and he thought of a terrifying possibility.
No, we can’t make any inferences easily yet. Is only red lanterns + red candles able to trigger the rules of the ghost village of Dongwang Village, or does it have to be a specific dragon and phoenix candle.
This will lead to two different results. Shen Lin cannot easily make inferences at present. After all, since 1965, there has never been a precedent of anyone holding a red candle and going deep into the Shennongjia forest area late at night. It might not be easy for others to see this thing. Being called mentally ill.
A specific date, or a specific item. The rules of this ghost village are very strict. From 1965 to the present, excluding the exploration team, the number of missing people is only about twenty. The horror level of this ghost may be high, but the danger level is very low.
"I always feel that something is not right about this village. I think we'd better slow down. Since the organization behind Wang Chaling deliberately concealed the core content, it is definitely not so kind. There is a big problem in this Dongwang Village." He Tu's caution made him He advises thinking before you act.
The Ghost Festival started and the red candle opened the door. This village was different from the ghosts He Tu had encountered before, which gave him a deep sense of crisis.
Shen Lin understood this very well. If nothing happened, she wouldn't mind waiting. She had already waited for so long, and he didn't mind taking it slow, but now it was too late.
"We can't wait any longer. The news of the disappearance of this group of young explorers will be noticed by the police in less than a week. Since the people behind the trouble sincerely want to mess with us, then the news will definitely spread. If it continues, we will There are endless troubles." Of course, the trouble Shen Lin was referring to was not the attack by these ghost masters. He had invisibly opened the ghost domain to explore. Most of these people were ghost masters who controlled one ghost, and controlled two ghosts. Those who only have ghosts are considered to be the best, and the ghost puzzle is extremely incomplete and the level of terror is extremely low, so it cannot cause much harm to them.
Shen Lin is afraid of Dongwang Village. Deliberately targeting Dongwang Village has been exposed to almost the entire group of ghost masters. Now it is impossible to say how many people are staring at this village. Shen Lin is not afraid of these people getting there first. What he is afraid of is that too many idiots will mess things up by accident. big.
A ghost that is likely to be involved in the secrets of the Republic of China. A ghost that has been revived for at least fifty or sixty years. The degree of terror is absolutely unimaginable. He must deal with his own affairs before the terror in Dongwang Village evolves to the point where it cannot be ended.
So he couldn't delay it any longer. None of the people present were stupid. Shen Lin gave them a few hints to help them understand the problem. The severity of the situation prevented them from making thorough preparations.
"Actually, it's almost the same now. Dongwang Village is a ghost village where we know nothing about. It's difficult for us to get clues in other places at present, and there's not much point in delaying it." Zhang Yuan is very open-minded. He put a lot of effort into collecting information. They had almost dug up all the clues about Dongwang Village in the world. They even took out the local county records from the museum. He really couldn't think of where else to get them. information.
Unless Wang Chaling and the organization behind him suddenly become kind-hearted and teach them everything they have, their intelligence may be further improved. Otherwise, it will be difficult to go further.
Several people were silent among themselves. Everyone in the team was ready in an instant. After Shen Lin's eyes made contact with several people one by one, no one escaped or answered.
"The incident in Dongwang Village is very special. It is very likely to involve some secrets of the Republic of China. The level of trouble in this incident may be much more terrifying than the ghosts you have experienced before. Strictly speaking, this is the first time for our team to run in together. This is also the first time we have come together to go on a mission." Shen Lin's eyes swept across several people again, his eyes burning.
"I have only one request for you. Talk more and do less. You must obey orders during the incident. You can't hesitate at all in what I ask you to do, otherwise we will most likely be annihilated."
"It is now three thirty-four in the afternoon, and there are still seven and a half hours until midnight. You have seven hours to rest or prepare or anything else. If no one has any questions, then our operation will officially begin. "
"Yes." The three of them responded in unison. Even Ji He, the most lively person, showed an extremely serious look. Shen Lin stayed on his body for a few seconds longer.
He hadn't understood Ji He's special characteristics until now. He was apparently resurrected but became a human being, and was attacked by the mask of the Resentment Society, almost occupying his face, but after the evil ghost left, he was alive and kicking like a normal person.
