Chapter 313: Santu River (I)
With 49% uneasiness, early on the morning of the third day, XT e-book - Previously, I contacted Chenjing University through my second uncle Yexuan, and I also confirmed that there was indeed a 'female' student named Zhao Yunhan in the third year of the Department of Folklore. In the photos faxed to me by the school, I saw someone else.
Zhao Yunhan in the photo has short hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a huge beauty mole on her right cheek that deviates from its position by 0.001 millimeter. To tell the truth, although she doesn't look miserable, she is miserable enough. No matter how stupid people are, they can judge that Zhao Yunhan who appeared in front of me and Zhao Yunhan, who is a junior in the Department of Folklore, are two people at all!
In the car, I handed the photo to a certain beautiful 'girl' who was driving, she just glanced at it and smiled indifferently: "Xiaoye, this is your mistake." He actually ran to investigate people. ”
"Explain." Two words came out of my mouth faintly.
She pouted: "I recently went to South Korea, and when I came back, it became like this!" ”
Faint! She thought she was lying to the ghost! If modern plastic surgery can completely transform people from pitiful dinosaurs to peerless beautiful 'women', I am afraid that South Korea will already be overcrowded.
I don't bother to expose her again, since this guy doesn't want to tell the truth, and I don't mind that she is a little more dark in the mysterious 'shadow'. As long as I've spent more time with her, hmph, I'll figure it out one day.
The car was driving on the highway, and the scenery outside the window was constantly blurred. Soon after, a white 'colored' river with a width of more than 10 meters appeared. The 'torrent' continued to crash on the river's bed, making a 'pop' piercing sound.
"Xiao Ye, look at that stele." Zhao Yunhan suddenly stopped the car and pointed to the stone pai road not far away.
I looked up, and my eyes were immediately filled with the ancient figure of the tablet. This stele has stood here for hundreds of years, and it is covered with dark green moss, but the words on it are still clear. The whole stele is engraved with three huge words: 'Santu River'.
Interesting. I stepped out of the car with curiosity and walked over to the stele. Hundreds of thousands of years of wind and rain do not seem to have completely peeled off the notches on the stele. The whole stele is carved from a large bluestone produced on the nearby Yangma Mountain. It can be seen that the carving is very 'fine', it should be from the hands of the famous artist at that time, but the name of the author can not be found after searching the entire stone stele.
The entire height of the monument is about 2 meters, and a strange creature is pressed under the monument. I crouched down and saw that the monster had a long fish body and a human body on the upper body. eBook full text download It put aside its sharp teeth, and its strong body was covered with blue-colored scales. In his left hand, he held a handful of strangely shaped mao, and in his right hand, he held a shield with a human face. It looks very hideous and terrifying.
It depends, this thing is supposed to be a kind of water monster. Could it be a Nakshatra?
I frowned and 'touched' the youkai's head with my hand, then shook my head. No, while it's true that it's a lot like a Nakshatra, it's definitely not a Nakshatra. This kind of monster has never been seen in any books and literature.
Zhao Yunhan on the side saw that my face was full of doubt, and explained softly: "This is the golden doll." ”
"Golden Doll?" I looked back at her in surprise: "So, this Santu River is also a tributary of the Yangma River?" ”
It is recorded that the Yangma River basin is 100 kilometers long, and then divides into four tributaries near Yangma Village, and finally flows into the Yangtze River.
Zhao Yun nodded appreciatively and asked, "Ah Ye, do you know what Santuchuan is?" ”
"Of course I do." My gaze returned to the strange golden doll statue: "The so-called Santu River, the earliest and clearest spread is in the Han Dynasty. It is said that it is the river under the bridge, and every person who dies must cross the Santu River if he wants to enter the city of vain death.
It is said that before the Han Dynasty, there was no Nai He Bridge on the Santu River. After death, there is only one way for ghosts to enter the city of vain death, which is to take a boat with a little ghost wearing a black 'color' cloak and a black 'color' cloak, and then accept the trial of the Santu River. If you have sinned heinously in your life, you will be ruined and killed, and you will watch the boat under your feet slowly sink into the river and pull yourself into the eighteen layers of hell. It was only after the Han Dynasty that there was a ...... that the bridge said"
My words stopped abruptly here, and I hurriedly looked at the stele again. Why is this dry river named Santu River? Why was the statue of the golden doll pressed by the Samtugawa? What does this mean?
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yunhan pulled my arm hard and motioned to go back to the car. I was reluctant to leave, and when I left, I didn't forget to use my digital camera to take pictures of the strange stone monument in all directions.
The car continues to move forward. Nothing worth thinking about along the way, and after a few hours, we arrived at our destination, the village of Raising Horses.
Speaking of horse farming villages, I have also heard of this place. It is said that many places here still retain the architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty, as well as many inexplicable customs.
For example, people in the horse farming village are most afraid of 'chickens' flying into the house in the morning, thinking that the 'chickens' will go to the house to cause fire. In addition, residents who encounter fires should not burn pots for 3 days, that is, they cannot cook at home, so as not to suffer another disaster.
They were forbidden to break ground in the courtyard at noon, so as not to impulse the altar god. Those who die outside should not be carried into the 'door' of the house, lest they be tainted with evil spirits. In addition, it is said that pregnant women will suffer from dystocia in the second year after picking fruits. Before the age of 40 days, a woman must not enter the 'door' of another person's house, and she must not look at the dead, lest she defile the house and the corpse to rot. On the first day of the first month, it is forbidden to pour water on the ground and sweep the floor to avoid losing money. Do not sit under the eaves when you pick up the baby to avoid being caught by the 'yin'. Baby's clothes should not be 'exposed' at night to avoid evil spirits. When building a house, avoid aiming at other people's middle halls, so as not to disturb other people's feng shui. After the sow gives birth, it is forbidden for outsiders to come to see it, so as not to take away the 'milk' water. The most depressing thing is that when eating at the same table with 6 people, it is taboo to sit in pairs as turtle seats. It is said that he will offend the golden doll and will let his sons and daughters be dragged by the water ghost to be used as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Although my memory is a little vague, and I don't remember much about the events before I was five and a half years old, I still know some things, for example, when my father was running away from creditors, he should have been hiding in the back of nowhere.
After putting my luggage in the only dilapidated hotel in the village, Zhao Yunhan and I walked around the village.
"What do you think about the last thirteen years of drowning children faking their lives?" Zhao Yunhan was obviously bored and asked. I shook my head: "You haven't even provided me with much basic information, how can I have an opinion." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "I only know a little bit, I told you everything." However, since it started thirteen years ago, something should have happened thirteen years ago, or rather, there was a change in some factor on the banks of the Yangma River at that time. ”
