The 435th Episode: The Ship Crashes into the Soul
"Lingzhou is very good, but ...... But I'm a northerner, I'm afraid that my eating habits and living habits are different from our Jiangnan people, and ...... You've seen it in the past two days, and if you weren't there for the translator, we wouldn't be able to understand Lingzhou! How to live? Ma Chengfeng found the best excuse.

Chang Xiaoman didn't talk much, he sat beside Ma Chengfeng and listened quietly, he secretly pursed his lips and smiled.
The Hanshui River is sparkling, and from time to time a big fish jumps out of the water more than two meters high, and then falls back heavily, causing splashes in all directions, and the splashes are golden in mid-air by the setting sun.
The fishermen eat very easily and conveniently, and the fishing nets are thrown down, and it is not long before they catch them again, and it is a net of fish and mussels. You don't need to add any ingredients, just boil it in clean water, and you can eat it when the water is boiled, and the taste is so fresh. It's just that this cauldron was eaten by Hu Xiaoci for most of it, and her food alone caught up with everyone else. In the end, he propped his stomach round and fell on the deck, kicking with his feet, but he couldn't kick up.
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. It didn't take long for the sun to set, and then the endless darkness gradually engulfed the golden river, and although it was only a ten-minute process, it was a heaven and a hell. As soon as it got dark, a cloudy wind blew on the water, and the bones of the people who blew were numb.
"Lao Jia, how long are we from Wushan Canyon now?" Ma Chengfeng asked him.
Jia Laohan looked at the mountains at the end of the river and said, at the current rate, at least one point, but this is already about to enter the Wushan Valley, so you have to be more careful.
This Wushan is not a Wushan that "does not see the clouds except Wushan". Although Wushan Mountain in Lingzhou is not a large mountain range, it is also an extremely dangerous place, which is different from the typical mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not high, but it is straight up and down. In the past, this was the boundary of the ancient Yue Kingdom, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that there were footprints of the Central Plains people. Later, in the last years of the Han Dynasty, he was beaten down by the little overlord Sun Ce.
Therefore, to this day, the ruins of the ancient Yue Kingdom are still common in the nearby mountains and forests.
The Yue people do not belong to the Central Plains people, the culture is contrary to the Central Plains people, and the funeral customs are very different, because there is more water, more mountains and less flat land here, and the Yue people do not pay attention to the culture of entering the soil for peace, but prefer high burials.
The ancients and modern people have different understandings of funeral, to put it simply, the ancients liked burial, and their burial has a different meaning from the modern burial. In fact, no matter how the ancients buried after death, the purpose was to make the corpse not decay for thousands of years and turn into a fairy.
Why do you need to turn into a cocoon? Could it be that the dead also have nets? Naturally, there are other particularities here, and we will have a story that tells about this separately in the future.
The purpose of the ancient Yue people's high burial is actually to keep the body from decomposing for several years, because there are many bacteria in the soil, and the local climate is humid and sultry, and as for the high places, such as the caves, the climate is relatively dry, and the water cannot flow in.
Therefore, on both sides of Wushan, large and small stone caves can be seen everywhere. Hanging coffins in ancient times can occasionally be seen in the Liangguang and Lianghu areas, but they are all hung on the mountainside, and there is nothing else to pay attention to.
The Yue people's hanging coffin is different, it is no longer a hanging coffin in the complete sense, but a cave burial, and some simple totem forms wrapped in rags can be seen at the entrance of the cave. The totems moved with the wind, making them even more eerie at night.
"Cheng Feng, look, what's up there? Why are there colorful flags fluttering at the entrance of the cave? Xiao Man stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ups and downs of the mountains on both sides.
"yes, is there still a cave where people live? But it's so high, and there's no ladder in sight, how can you get down? ”
"Knock ......," Hu Xiaoci pouted and made an onomatopoeia.
"Oh, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a hanging coffin cave burial left by the ancient Yue people, which is very common in our Hanshui River Basin." Chu Xiangyun hurriedly explained to them.
Goodo...... A cloud of bubbles rose beneath the surface of the water.
"I've often heard of the ancient Yue civilization, but it's the first time I've seen such strange customs from them."
Chu Xiangyun told them that the ancient Yue civilization belongs to one of the oldest minority civilizations on the south bank of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately, they were later wiped out by the Xixia people, and in recent years, archaeologists have often come to our Lingzhou to excavate the ancient tombs of the Yue people.
"Yes, I dug one last year, I heard what the emperor's tomb was, but a lot of people died. Moreover, as soon as the door of the ancient tomb was dug up, the Hanshui River immediately rose and flooded the ancient tomb. Not a single funeral object was taken out. To say, whether it is archaeological or tomb robbers, this grave digging is not a good livelihood, and it is easy to be retributed! Jia Laohan echoed.
Ma Chengfeng frowned, not daring to say more.
It was getting darker and darker, and almost everything on the river was swallowed up by the darkness of the river, except for the dim glow from the diesel lamp hanging from their bow.
Sudden ...... Sudden ...... The roar of the motors of the fishing boats was made even more piercing by the silence of the night.
Hu Xiaoxi stood alone on the bow deck, looking at the dark river in a daze. Ma Chengfeng asked her what she was looking at, and she only said that there was something on the water in front of her.
"What's that? Why didn't I see that? Ma Chengfeng opened a pair of ghost pupils, and everything on the water was already in full view.
"That thing...... That thing is a little evil, turn the bow of the boat quickly, don't touch it. Hu Xiaoli's mood seemed very nervous.
But there is nothing on the huge water, let alone Ma Chengfeng, and several other people, including Jia Laohan, no one has seen anything? Everyone just thought she was a joke.
In those days, it was not like now, when ordinary fishermen could have a little tugboat operation, but this big boat looked like a lonely leaf on the spacious river, extremely small.
The fishing boat drove forward for five or six minutes, bubbling up and down the water, and although Hu Xiaoxi no longer shouted, the expression on his face remained very depressed.
There was a bang...... I don't know what it was, but suddenly it burst out of the water in front of the bow of the ship.
It wasn't really bright, it looked like it was black, it was a rectangular thing. Because it was too close to the bow of the boat, and it suddenly appeared, Jia Laohan didn't have time to turn the bow to dodge, and the boat crashed straight up, but fortunately, the electric tug was relatively strong, and it shook twice and finally stopped.
Everyone rushed onto the deck, poked their heads out and looked down, and the black thing floated back for more than ten meters before slowly coming to a halt.
