C20 Hanging coffin burial

Grandfather nodded at me. Seeing that he was really willing to give me the wooden sword, I pinned it to my waist, then walked to the front of the cliff and grabbed a vine to slowly slide down. I slipped very slowly, afraid that if I wasn't careful, I would fall down and break my bones.

"The Universe should be more careful. Also, you should pay attention to the cliff face to see if there are any hidden caves." Grandpa pointed out to me from above.

I nodded to my grandfather and concentrated on sliding down the cliff. At the start of the descent, I didn't feel anything, but after a while, my shoulder started to feel sore. The hand that was grabbing onto the vine started to tremble, but there was nowhere to rest on.

I could only grit my teeth and continue to slide down. After about ten minutes, I finally saw a big tree growing from the cliff. I quickly slid onto the tree trunk to rest, but I still didn't dare to release my grip on the vine.

I stood on the tree trunk and looked up. I could already see Grandfather's figure. I estimated that I had already slipped forty to fifty meters away. I didn't know that an accident would happen. Did Grandfather have enough time to save me?

I looked down again. The fog was swirling around me, but I still couldn't see down there, and I didn't know how deep down I was. After looking for a long time, my head was starting to feel dizzy, so I quickly looked away. If I had to choose again, I wouldn't come down, it would be too scary.

I kept sliding down for a while, and then suddenly a cold wind hit my face and I stopped and stopped. I wrapped my foot around a vine and let go of the vine with one hand and reached for the mahogany sword at my waist.

After I obtained the peach wood sword, I stabbed at the stone wall in front of me. The peach wood sword stabbed in without any obstructions.

"It really is empty." I thought to myself as I looked at the sword stabbing away the peach wood. Because I felt the cold wind blowing out from the opposite stone wall, I suspected that this stone wall was empty. Now, it really was empty.

I put the peach wood sword back to my waist and used my hand to brush away the vines. A meter tall hole appeared in front of me. The cold wind was blowing out from the hole.

The cave was dark, I couldn't see what was inside, I wanted to go in, but I didn't dare to, this cave entrance could release Yin wind, the Yin Qi in the cave is strong, but I just thought, maybe there is something strong inside, if I go in, I won't be able to come out.

Understanding this, I climbed up and through the hole. I didn't want to be blown away by the wind.

"Grandfather, I found a hole. A cold wind was coming out of it." I yelled at the top, hoping Pappy would hear me.

But soon, I discovered that I was overthinking because my grandfather quickly replied, "Qiankun, can you see what's inside?"

Grandfather's voice was very clear, as clear as what he said in my ear. I didn't know what strange method he used to look at me.

"Grandfather, I can't see clearly. It's too dark inside." I replied.

"Alright, be careful." Grandfather said.

After Grandpa said this, I waited for two minutes and Grandpa slid down. It took me 15 minutes to reach the lowest point, but Grandpa actually slid down so quickly.

Pappy slid to my side and stopped.

"Grandpa's cave is right below us." I said to my grandfather.

Pappy nodded at me and slid down, and I slid down with him.

I then realized that my grandfather was now dressed a bit like a chivalrous hero. My grandfather had tied a mahogany sword to his back with a cane.

Grandfather slipped into the cave, took a glance inside and then took out the broken compass. After taking out the compass, the eight trigram diagram at the center of the compass actually lit up, and an extremely cyclone appeared on the compass.

Seeing the cyclone, her grandfather's face slightly changed. Nan Nan said, "Yin Qi Swirls." Then he put away the compass and the cyclone disappeared.

I asked grandpa what he meant by "swirl of yin qi".

Grandfather said to me, "The swirl of Yin Qi means that the Yin Qi in this cave has reached a terrifying level."

Then I will ask grandpa, are we still going to go in?

"Let's go in." Grandfather looked at the black hole and jumped into it. I followed closely behind.

When I entered the cave, I felt very cold, even colder than when I was below the village's dry well.

Grandfather took out a candle and chanted an incantation. Then, the candle started to burn, illuminating the entire cave.

Then, my grandfather took out a piece of talisman paper from his chest and stuck it on my chest.

Grandfather took out the peach wood sword on his back and carefully walked out of the cave. I also gave my grandfather the sword in my hand.

We walked for a while into the cave and smelled fresh mahogany.

After we walked for a while, we saw a brand-new coffin. The peach wood smell was coming from the coffin.

This coffin was extremely new. It would take at most three days for the smell of the wood to not have dispersed.

The strange thing was, who had placed this new coffin here, and who had it contained? I have a feeling that it was not a human who put the coffin in this cave, because it would be very difficult to place a coffin in this cave, whether from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff, the most important point is, this is the back mountain, it is a forbidden area nearby, normally no one would dare to go near it, let alone bury the person inside, burying the dead here, isn't this just asking for trouble? One more thing, bury the coffin on top of the cliff, call it suspending coffin burial, we don't have such a thing as suspending coffin burial here, we are all buried here.

I have heard my grandfather tell me how to bury a coffin. Only the She people who live in Zhanning, Fuding, Zhaorong, and Pennan of Fujian Province still maintain this burial method.

When my grandfather told me about the hanging coffin burial, he told me a legend about the origin of the suspended coffin burial: In ancient times, the ancestor of the She clan, King Pan Gao, was married to the third princess of Emperor Gao Xin, and they had three men and one woman. Since King Lulu was born from the stars, he could not be born, nor could he be born to the earth. Therefore, after his death, his children and grandchildren used wheels and ropes to place the coffin in the cave on the cliffs of the Phoenix Mountain. Its descendants have passed down through the generations, forming the ancient customs of her people.

Suspended coffins and burial are mutually exclusive, they are entombed with "corpses not buried in the ground" and buried with "corpses not buried in the ground", so this coffin is definitely not made by our people here, we all have to bury it in the ground to make peace.

A puzzled expression hung on his grandfather's face as he looked at the new peach wood coffin. Obviously, he did not expect that there would actually be a new peach wood coffin in such a place with such dense yin energy.

"What's going on with grandpa?" I asked.

Just as I said that, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the coffin towards me. I immediately thrust the peach wood sword in my hand towards the black shadow.

With a "pu" sound, I pierced through the shadow. After it was pierced by me, it immediately dodged and hid behind the coffin.

Because the cave was very dark, I didn't see clearly what the black shadow that had attacked me was.

I was attacked by the black shadow and my grandfather didn't even have time to react. After the black shadow left, he immediately protected me behind him.

"Grandpa, look." I handed my mahogany sword to Pappy, because there was a little bit of paper on it, very much like the bright paper of a paper man.

The paper skin on the peach wood sword should have been left behind by the black shadow that attacked me. Could it be that the one that attacked me was a paper man, but can the paper man move? I immediately remembered that at the withered old man's house, the paper man stood up and pounced towards me. Could it be that the paper man that attacked me earlier was related to the person who used the paper man to harm me? If that's the case, then this new peach wood coffin might have been created by my man.

When my grandfather saw the paper, a vicious look flashed across his eyes. Then, he took out a light red paper talisman and threw it at our heads. Thunder is holy, gem is godly. Wu Lei Chen Zheng, Han Chen Wei Ling. Lei Gongzi and Hezhong, Mother of Lightning's English. Uncle Feng was very famous, Rain Master He Qing. "Envoy of Barbarian Thunder, Eastern Devil Ming."

The paper talisman immediately emitted a brilliant ray of light, then a bright light. I saw that behind the coffin, there was a crouching figure …
