What happened to the transparent coffin of the Yellow River?

In the 1980s, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were dredged every year. Every time the Yellow River is dredged, strange things happen: hundreds of people roar together, transparent coffins, the legend of bald-tailed Lao Li, the chains in Long Mai Town, and strange jingles that have never been revealed. ....

Let me tell you something. In the 1980s, dredging projects were carried out every year in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Residents nearby (mainly farmers) are going to work as river workers. That is, every family has a mature workforce. Of course, old people can also boil water to cook or something. If they don't do this, they must pay the price. This happened in a section of Shandong. In winter, there is basically no water in the Yellow River. Everyone dug up the silt at the bottom of the river to strengthen the levee next to it. Suddenly, a man screamed, and his voice was extremely miserable. Then everyone at the bottom of the river began to growl. Everyone who cooks on the shore is surprised. After a while, everyone stopped to continue their work. When asked about them at dinner, no one knew that they had made such a sound, that is to say, the memory of those minutes was gone. However, the strange thing is not over yet.

They returned to their residence at night, and it began to rain sleet. Some young people suggested sleeping in the next new yard and making a fire or something. That yard is very new. 10 There are many new tile houses. The walls of the yard are all fences tied with branches, and the village chief said he could live at will. So some people are excited to bring their bedding to the new house. It is good to make a fire in the middle of the house to keep warm. An old man cooking followed. He looked around and asked the boys to move out at once. Do you know what the old man saw There are seven knife marks on the main beam of the house. There is a local custom that if someone hangs himself in the room, he must carve a mark on the beam. This house is the best in the haunted house: a family of seven hanged themselves in the room. Including a newly married couple. The family lived in harmony, just a few days after moving here. Nobody knows why.

Friends in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River should know this kind of thing. Every time the Yellow River is dredged, something strange happens. It is not the first time that hundreds of people who want to improve for the first time shout together.

Later, it was three or four days later. Everyone has been distracted and urged to stop working. Old people always think things are too strange. Imagine where a family hangs themselves. Besides, everyone is from a nearby village, and we have never heard of such a thing here. Newlyweds have a strong ability to block evil spirits, and it is rare that they are haunted by ghosts just after they get married, otherwise there will be no rush to celebrate. How can this happen in a place where you can't avoid eating food?

The above (county) specially sent a folk expert to have a look to appease the people. Farmers spontaneously organized some witches and old people to perform a soothing ceremony similar to the Dojo. As a result, something strange happened. Let's leave now. The coffin is exposed 1 m, and there is still no bottom below. It is said that the coffin is about 1 meter high at most, and the atmosphere is gradually dignified. What's more strange is that the coffin lid and coffin seem to be connected without any gap. Everyone hopes that the coffin can be opened to the end, but which coffin will be opened? Unexplained fears spread in my heart. Maybe it's right not to dig

Let's keep digging and get the mud out while digging. A pit with a depth of 2 meters and a diameter of 40 meters has appeared in the river, and the coffin is exposed 1.5 meters, but it has never been seen. The mud dug out is already clay, which means it is more difficult to dig down. Everyone has always wondered, small fish can see so clearly, why can't others see clearly? How high is this coffin? What coffin is it? No one spoke, only the sound of shovels digging mud at the scene, accompanied by the occasional sound of touching the coffin. It doesn't feel like glass, but it may be winter. I feel particularly cold. Although it is daytime, the sun is fine and the temperature exceeds 10 degrees. There is still a chill.

Can anyone understand that texture? Not as smooth, hard and transparent as jade as glass? Come on, how can there be such transparent jade? Still that thick?

Someone lost his temper and gathered a dozen people to stand on one side of the coffin and push hard to make it move. The coffin did not move, indicating that the part buried in the mud was far deeper than people thought.

Dig! Can you go to hell in the bright sunshine? What's there? Is it not just a coffin? Dig! How deep can it be? Keep digging. It's strange that such a big coffin is filled with water to push it. Forget it and keep digging! Someone encouraged me that this is really a laborious job. The excavator has changed three dials! Coffin, the coffin above the ground is taller than people, and it reflects a faint green light under the sunlight. Stranger still, people see the body floating in the middle, but it is always in the middle. When he dug out 1 m and came out at 50cm, two meters above the ground, what was inside? It doesn't look like water, but it's not water either. How can fish swim in it? It seems that only by digging it out thoroughly can we answer this question. Someone suggested using an iron bar to test how deep it is below. At this time, someone invited the most famous local Mr. Feng Shui. This feng shui master has a high reputation, and his fortune-telling was handed down by his ancestors, and his eldest son and grandson passed on like this. His uncle is learning fortune-telling from him now. His first fortune-telling was at the age of 15. There is a local who doesn't believe in setting up a stall in the market. Who has seen such a young gentleman? Let him show it. As a result, the gentleman did not read it. He just said, "Your life is too hard. You were born under duress. When you were born, you did not cry because you were poor. " The man was pale because he didn't cry when he was born. Later, at most three people knew about the crying of chopped green onion, and his mother told him later. Because feng shui is more powerful. Including yin house and yang house. He will never make huge profits by cracking it for others, such as 100 wallet and a bag of cinnabar (fortune tellers often do this) and so on. So it is very respected. It is said that his father is a god, and he can pull a grass on the grave to know the sex and age of the deceased and whether it was a natural death. )

In the local area, another function of Mr. Feng Shui is to find ancestral graves for people. Before liberation, 16-year-old people often went out to travel to the east. When they came back, their parents had died and their kind neighbors had buried them. As a result, when capitalism and feudal superstition were broken, the grave was razed; Some signs (trees, temples, etc.). ) originally used as a symbol, because of economic development, road widening and farmland change, it has disappeared. The old man's memory only has a general orientation. If children and grandchildren want to be buried again, please ask Mr. Feng Shui to help them find their ancestral graves. Mr. Feng Shui has an iron staff in his hand, which is about half as thick as his little finger. According to his position, he can find the ancestral grave. And the orientation of the head and feet can be determined, and the specific operation is not clear. Generally speaking, the burial is carried out in the north and south, with the head in the north and the feet in the south, and a crock will be buried in the grave. This is the general reason why people invite Mr. Feng Shui.

When Mr. Feng Shui came to the coffin, he was very surprised, but he didn't speak and looked at the coffin carefully. Never used a manual iron bar. I watched it for half an hour, and then asked the folklore expert (who was the biggest leader in the county at the scene): "Do you have to dig?" "Dig!" Folklore experts have been immersed in the joy of archaeological discoveries. Of course, he did not forget to ask, "Is there any harm?" He didn't believe that the fortune teller would know about it at all. "No," the fortune teller said firmly, "but I'm afraid it won't be dug up in a month according to this digging method!" People stop. The fortune teller stepped aside and whispered something to the local village head and some old people. Soon, the old people came over and said, "They are dragons, but they are not dragons."

On the afternoon of the arrival of folklore experts, news came from the river: a transparent coffin was dug!

Transparent coffin? When the old people arrived, many people were already watching. This very strange coffin has just been dug out of the top cover, and the soil on it has been wiped off. Surprisingly, you can clearly see many small fish swimming around the corpse, but you can't see the appearance of the corpse, only the outline, wearing a double shroud, which can be judged as childless (local custom). It is common sense that fish can't survive in a closed coffin for a long time. Therefore, the sealing of this coffin is definitely not good, but if so, the shroud should be long gone, and I am afraid it is difficult to leave even the bones, because the old people have never heard of the circumstances under which the transparent coffin will be buried. What's more, this is the bottom of the river, which was flooded after the Yellow River was diverted. Strangely, the coffin was not washed away, because the local customs and burial depth were only about 3 meters.

The funeral custom there is that if there are no children before death, all funeral items should be doubled. Except coffins, of course. With gold in his mouth, silver in his left hand and dog cake in his right. Dog beating cake is a tortilla steamed with corn flour and stubble. There are evil dogs in the underworld to deal with. Coffins are divided into three or six categories. The thin coffin is a 3-inch board, which is estimated to rot in two or three years. Good is a 9-inch board, made of hardwood such as camphor wood and sandalwood. Then put a poplar coffin outside, called poplar coffin. But transparent coffins are unheard of. No wonder everyone is so curious.

At the same time, I also vaguely got a chill. At this time, it has been divided into two factions, and some old people headed by them insist on not digging or burying exposed lids. Afraid of hurting future generations. Young people insist on finding out, don't believe in evil, and maybe they can dig up some gold and silver treasures and make a fortune.

Coffin, the coffin above the ground is taller than people, and it reflects a faint green light under the sunlight. Stranger still, people see the body floating in the middle, but it is always in the middle. When he dug out 1 meter, he came out 50cm, and when he was two meters off the ground, it was 1 meter high!

What's in it? It doesn't look like water, but it's not water either. How can fish swim in it? It seems that only by digging it out thoroughly can we answer this question. Someone suggested using an iron bar to test how deep it is below. At this time, someone invited the most famous local Mr. Feng Shui.

People stop. The fortune teller stepped aside and whispered something to the local village head and some old people. Soon, the old people came over and said, "Then those who belong to dragons and those who were not dragons but were born in 65438+ February left the bottom of the river and went ashore."

There must be a white snake within five steps, "said the fortune teller. He went to the southeast of the coffin and stopped four or five steps away from it. "Find two wooden shovels and dig down three feet. "Several people ran back to the wooden shovel in the village (note: wooden shovel is a farm tool for farmers to separate wheat grains from wheat bran by wind, similar to shovel, but made of mulberry wood). The sun is getting weaker and weaker. The fortune teller said, "You may not be able to dig it out today. Cover it with something and don't let it rain! "Soon, the farmer came with a wooden shovel and dug in the designated place according to his orders? White snake? That's a fairy! Old people are whispering in their hearts. There are indeed small white snakes in the local area, but they are extremely rare. As soon as the old ladies see the little white snake (about as long as chopsticks), they will kowtow, find a plate covered with red cloth, invite the white snake to the house and burn incense for it. Strangely, the white snake always climbs to the plate obediently, then enjoys the incense for a few days and disappears silently.

The fortune teller drew a circle about a foot, and the two of them began to dig. Indeed, the mud here is obviously better than other places, and it takes less time. A man shouted: there are a group of frogs! "Don't dig! ! "The fortune teller quickly stopped, and everyone was surprised. It's normal to dig frogs in winter. What's the fuss? Everyone saw a dozen frogs crowded together. How can there be snakes where there are frogs? The old people began to pray again. For no other reason, who has ever seen such a big coffin? What's more, did they disturb the "family" after all? In winter, the fortune teller's forehead was sweaty, and then he told me that he almost ran back. The fortune teller took out the frogs one by one. There are no white snakes except frogs.

No, the fortune teller doesn't know what he did wrong. That's what my father told himself. How can there be no white snake?

He stood up and asked loudly, "Is there anyone who belongs to the dragon and was born in 12?" ? Find out at your own risk! "

~ a few onlookers walked away in a daze. No wonder, who can't take a closer look at this kind of thing? The old people vaguely understood: "It is not that the white snake is afraid of them, but that it is not good for these people."

Just then, someone was shouting, "Snake! The snake is on the wooden shovel! "

Isn't it? In the mud on the shovel, a little white snake appeared for a while. Unlike usual, this white snake is not completely white, but has some spots (no one names any color spots). Different from what everyone has seen, it sticks out its head and spits out news frequently, so it is very alert. Snakes in winter should not be like this. The fortune-teller carefully took the snake and put it next to the coffin, specifically at the bottom of the coffin. The snake soon went down and disappeared in a short time.

When the little white snake got under the crystal coffin, the timid people began to exclaim. Oh, my God! Where did it go? It is true that snakes can drill holes, but snakes can't drill holes themselves, and most of them use the holes of Monopterus albus. What's more, in such a cold day, the little snake can still be so active, and the nerves that have been nervous for a day can't bear too much weirdness. Most people kneel in the mud and bow down in the most traditional but most respectful way-24 Worship, which is an extremely complicated way of worshipping God, including gossip, which is generally the most solemn way of kowtowing when their loved ones die, with several generations of elders taking the lead and kowtowing step by step! After worship, everyone knelt on the ground and was at a loss! Yes, according to common sense, you should cry now. For example, if the deceased is the uncle of the worshiper, you should cry! The crying grandfather of the younger generation, etc. But this time, no one knows the name of the bow. What do you call it? What if, what if this is not a person? Will heaven and earth worship people regardless of their reasons? Then the fortune teller said, "Well, kowtow. It is getting late. Let's go back to the shore and have a rest. It will be ready early tomorrow morning. "

Everyone silently returned to the shore. Who has the heart to eat? Dragons and others who can't stand it anxiously ask this and that? What the hell is going on? The fortune teller's unintelligible attitude also makes people nervous. People who haven't seen the white snake are shouting, "Take it with a hammer tomorrow." Before they finished, they were stopped by a dirty clay hand. The old people gave the young man a hard look. It was careless. What can I do if I listen to the old man early? Whenever you dig a coffin during construction, you can't move. Once you want to move, you should ask a wise man to pay homage, invite out your favorite materials and make proper arrangements. The fortune teller said flatly, "What should come out is still coming out, or it will be in trouble?" Everyone looked at the gentleman with inquiring eyes. "Look at tomorrow. I have 108 black dog paper-cut here. Please stick them on the wall of the yard. Remember to put two stickers on all doors and water tanks. This must be done by the dragon. Remember to post it when the sun comes out. If it is cloudy tomorrow, don't paste them! " The voice is small but firm, which is a kind of firmness that can break everything. Everyone has a snack in their hearts. After all, someone gives advice and someone directs it.

"Also, you must see how much water there is in the cabin and how high the wet marks are outside the cabin." The fortune teller said. Everyone promised to go back to their shacks (the workers didn't have any good accommodation, they were all temporary tents, otherwise they wouldn't go to the yard that made people KB). The black dog paper-cut in his hand is very common, that is, the puppy cut with black paper. This is used to ward off evil spirits, but why do you use this? Most people cut with new paper. It looks like it should be several years old, and the paper is a little old.

The villagers were too scared to know what they had done wrong. They asked several Feng Shui teachers to do a calculation, and Mr. Feng Shui couldn't say why. I watched the Yellow River eye gradually turn into dry land.

No one has done the "Yellow River Eye" and no one has seen the bottom of the river. Therefore, in the days when the Yellow River Eye is about to bottom out, the old people are fearful, burning incense on the bank of the Yellow River Eye to pay homage, hoping that the dragon will come back, but more young people come to watch the excitement and see if there are really traces of dragon life at the bottom of the river.

There are naturally no dragons at the bottom of the Yellow River eye, but strangely enough, after the water dried up, a stone platform half human high and half buried in the sand appeared in the mud at the bottom of the river.

This stone platform is about the size of a basketball court. Brave people ran to the bottom of the river and found that it was made of unknown materials. It looks like a whole without cracks, carved with strange patterns like birds.

The strangest thing is that this stone is as translucent as sheep fat in the sun. Through this transparency, they can see a black shadow inside. It's warm when you touch the stone platform, but it's freezing when you touch the shadow. It seems that black shadows can absorb heat.

Everyone living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River knows that the Yellow River often digs things, and there are many legends about chaos in various places. During the Republic of China, I heard that crystal coffins were dug up in Henan and Gansu, and there were dead people inside. It's strange, but no one has heard of such a large translucent stone platform.

The local old people are superstitious and say that this thing is a dragon coffin. The shadow in this stone platform is the body of a dead dragon, but the shadow is too vague to tell what it is. Many people say that it seems to be a person, and some people say that this shadow is not a person, but a big fish.

In those years of social unrest, strange things happened everywhere. A total of several village managers, this matter did not spread, so they found a few courageous people and buried this stone platform with mud. But strangely, this stone platform can't be buried. The river sand turned up today disappeared the next day, and the stone platform was still half buried.

The strangest thing is that a few sharp-eyed people find that the shadow in this stone platform changes every day. It seemed oval at first, but then it began to grow hands and feet.

In the past, the village always looked for Mr. Feng Shui, but at that time, the village was very poor, and Mr. Good Feng Shui charged a high price. Most of the rest were liars, and when they didn't find anyone, they found the oldest old man in the village. This 90-year-old man has heard that he has climbed south (a grave robber) before, and he is a bit accurate in seeing Feng Shui. The old man was carried to the edge of the stone platform.

The old man is as thin as a skeleton. His contemporaries and the next generation are dead. The old man hardly moves at ordinary times. He sits in front of the house all day and lives a life of waiting for death, so no one knows his origin.

Old people's eyes are not good. I heard that when he was robbing a tomb, he was smoked by a corpse, so he couldn't open his eyes many times.

But as soon as he was taken to the edge of the stone stage, everyone saw the old man's eyes suddenly open wide. Before anyone could speak, he sat up straight, as if he had a hunch.

The village chief said, "Old man, you have seen a lot. Please tell me how this happened. Is this thing a blessing or a curse? "

The old man nodded and was helped to the ground. However, the first thing he saw was not the stone platform, but the surrounding mountains.

After watching it for a while, his expression became very strange and he said to himself, "How did this happen?" I just went to see the stone stage. I only took one look, and he immediately looked away and shouted.

Many people present at that time were looking at the stone stage, and no one felt any light coming from the stone stage. Only the old man was dazzled, blocking his eyes with his hands, and everyone else made him chilling.

The village head had a pair of round sunglasses put on for the old man so that he could open his eyes. He looked around the stone bench and kept covering his eyes with his hands. It seems that the light is still very strong.

After reading it, his expression was even more strange, and he added, "Why are you here?"

The village chief asked, what the hell is this?

The old man waved his hand and told him not to ask. He took out a strange abacus from his arms and shook it. The abacus is square and his abacus is round. After several strokes, his face sank. He turned his head and suddenly said a word to the village chief.

He said, "Put me on this stone platform."

A few people were surprised, but the old man's expression was horribly white, and no one dared to ask, so several young men carried the old man onto the stone stage.

After the old man got on the stone stage, he sat there, stopped talking and seemed to close his eyes.

This sitting, sitting for nearly a day, a group of people around waiting to see, waiting to wait, some people are impatient, some people go back one after another, and it is getting dark. At night, the onlookers are basically * *.

The village chief didn't know when to sit down, so he left a few workers here to watch and went back first. At that time, warlords scuffled. This village is yours today and his tomorrow. Therefore, being a village head is very busy. When he got home, he was busy until late and never went to Huangsha Factory again.

Unexpectedly, the workers who stayed there ran to the village head's house before dawn the next day and woke him up. The village chief asked him what he was doing, and several workers said, "The old man is gone!" "

After asking specifically, I realized that after everyone had left, the old man had been sitting on the stone platform, motionless, and the teenagers were gambling and drinking at the edge. Then it was completely dark, and there was no light in the Yellow River. They didn't see anything, so they fell asleep against the yellow sand. When they woke up, it was already dawn. When they got up, they saw that there was no one above the stone platform, where there was the shadow of the old man.

Hearing this, the village chief immediately ran back to the Yellow River with several people. Sure enough, the old man disappeared. At first, he thought he had gone home by himself and sent for him. He looked around but couldn't find it. At this time, the eagle-eyed man shouted, "It's inside!" "

Looking intently, I don't know when a thin shadow appeared in the translucent stone stage! Two shadows embrace together, weird and unusual!

The villagers were too scared to go near the stone platform again.

Later, when a nearby warlord learned about it, he sent a team to dig out the stone platform. Unexpectedly, he dug a few times. Suddenly, water began to appear under the stone platform. The water was fast and cold. The onlookers scrambled for their lives and fled to the bank of the Yellow River Eye. Soon, the gushing water filled the whole Yellow River eye, and the stone platform and the shadow inside were hidden in the depths of the broken water lake.

That night, many people in the village dreamed of the old people and gestured to them as if they were saying sixty-one, sixty-one. But no one knew what this sixty-one meant at that time. Everyone only knows that since then, the old man has never appeared in the village. It seems that he really hit the stone platform.

The stone platform must be a whole, with no gaps. How did the old man get in? What is another shadow in the stone platform? What exactly is that stone platform for? Why did it appear at the bottom of the Yellow River? No one can say for sure.

Soon, 6 1 year passed. ...

Then the coffin rose by itself the next day, and then several rusty chains and some patterns appeared. Finally, I don't know why Mr. Feng Shui kowtowed desperately to the coffin. Knocked out a lot of blood, and later said that Mr. Feng Shui was blind. However, what happened to the coffin? Mr. Feng Shui said that it would kill Yang for 40 years and bring greater disaster to the village. done
