Chapter 0297 Alopecia

Why do I say that this incident was caused by the villagers of Chenjiagou?

This is actually my guess. After listening to the whole cause and effect of the incident, I personally feel that Chenjiagou encountered this incident by 30% of God's will and 70% of man-made!

Where is this 30% of God's will? It should be in their sand field!

There can only be two situations in which antiques were dug out of the sand - first, there is an ancient tomb upstream of the Fen River branch that flows through their village! The ancient tomb was washed by the river and there may be antiques washed out, and then washed all the way downstream and buried in the sand field of Chenjiagou, and they were dug out by dog ​​shit.

Second, there is an ancient tomb under their sand field! !

According to my guess, I feel that the second possibility is more likely.

Because Chen Yu gave me a detailed description of the appearance of the golden phoenix. When it was unearthed, it was all dark green patina on the outside. If the person who made it didn't rub it hard a few times, everyone would think it was a piece of junk!

It is actually nonsense to say that gold will not decay without patina.

Pure gold does not oxidize, but under the conditions of ancient metallurgical technology, can the purity of gold reach 100%? Not to mention the ancient times, even under the current smelting conditions, it is impossible to make gold reach 100% purity! ! In ancient times, it was already amazing if the purity of gold could reach 18K. 18K gold contains a lot of copper or other metals! !

Gold will not oxidize, but other metals it contains will oxidize!

So, if the objects made of gold are buried underground for a long time, the metals mixed in the gold will oxidize and form a patina, but its patina is very brittle and will disappear once washed.

The golden phoenix unearthed in Chenjiagou was all patina when it first came out, and it didn't look like it had been washed by river water at all, so relatively speaking, I think it is more likely that there is an ancient tomb under the sand field!

In other words, the object they made was a very fresh "ghost"!

Ghost goods, that is, the business of stealing things from the hands of the dead, it is easy to get into trouble!

God sent the golden phoenix to the villagers of Chenjiagou, which is also God's will!

However, according to my understanding, it seems that nothing happened when they first dug out the golden phoenix. If you ask me, the problem lies in their behavior of worshipping the battlefield - you said you robbed someone's things, so you robbed them, but they didn't say anything to trouble you, so forget it, isn't it better to make a fortune quietly? Why did you run back to worship them to express your gratitude! Lighting the fire basket and setting off fireworks, don't you owe it! ! ! This is clearly a provocation! ! !

Think about it, someone slapped you in the face without saying a word, you endured it and didn't say anything, but he slapped you and ran back to say to you "Thank you so much, I was in a bad mood, and you handed your face to me to let me vent", if it were you, wouldn't you be angry?

Clay people still have some earthiness, let alone dead people! ! !

Moreover, their worship method is also problematic!

Shanxi is a coal-producing province, so some remote areas here have such a custom during the Spring Festival - on New Year's Eve, a bonfire pile is piled with coal, and firewood is stuffed inside. The ignition port should face the gate. The locals call this bonfire pile a fire cage, and then light the fire cage at midnight, put offerings in front of the fire cage, and set off fireworks to welcome the arrival of the new year.

This custom has been passed down for many, many years, and most people don't know why there is such a custom, but their ancestors have done it this way, so their descendants have followed suit.

However, most people don't know why they do this, but I, who have studied the human geography of Shanxi in detail, know why!

This ceremony to welcome the new year is actually an ancient sacrificial ceremony!

In ancient times, Shanxi belonged to the edge of the Central Plains and has always been at the forefront of the confrontation with the northern nomadic peoples. Therefore, there were frequent wars here in ancient times, and countless people died. Even in the era of peace, this side is still resisting the northern nomadic peoples and still bleeding!

This unique historical environment has created the characteristics of the people of Shanxi. In ancient times, the people of Shanxi hoped for peace and health and longevity more than people in any other place, because they were really afraid of bloodshed! !

Unfortunately, in that era, how could the emperors and generals care about the lives of the people? So the people placed their hopes on ghosts and gods, hoping to invite a god to protect the whole family at the beginning of each year!

This ceremony of lighting a fire cage is a kind of invitation to gods. In ancient times, people in northwest Shanxi, northern Shanxi and even Luliang Mountain used this method to invite gods into their homes to protect the whole family from the suffering of war in the coming year!

There are reasons why each of these customs can be passed down for so long, and they can't be careless. The villagers of Chenjiagou are so good that they don't know that lighting a fire cage is actually an ancient way of offering sacrifices to gods. They directly invite gods on an ancient tomb. Isn't this sincerely making themselves uncomfortable? I'm afraid that instead of inviting the gods, they invited the ghosts, and it was a ghost that had been angered by them for a long time. If this person didn't follow them back to the village to harm them, I'm afraid they didn't know how many eyes the horse king had!

This is what I call a 70% man-made disaster!

It would be strange if nothing happened when the will of heaven and the disaster of man came together!

"Come here, let me see your head!"

After waiting for Chen Yu to finish speaking, Uncle Li suddenly waved at Chen Yu. Chen Yu didn't neglect it and quickly stretched his head over.

Uncle Li took a look at his head, and then waved to Zhou Jing: "Go and get a handful of straw!"

Penggao, in fact, is mugwort, which can drive away evil spirits. This kind of thing is indispensable for our business. Of course, my family has it all year round.

I saw Uncle Li actually took action, and I was a little curious, so I leaned on the sofa with my arms around my shoulders and watched the excitement.

Uncle Li was a master of the Heavenly Master level before, but for some reason, his Taoism disappeared, but his eyesight was definitely still there. Now seeing him asking for mugwort, I was also interested, wondering if he saw something!

After a while, Zhou Jing took the mugwort and ran over. Uncle Li took the mugwort without saying a word, and directly lit the mugwort with the lighter on the coffee table. Instantly, the unique smell of mugwort came out.

Uncle Li did nothing else, just took the mugwort and turned it on Chen Yu's head three times to the left and three times to the right, a total of six times, and then Chen Yu's head "sizzled" and oil began to come out, and a foul smell came to his nose.

I am familiar with this smell, it is clearly the stench of a corpse!

I couldn't sit still any longer, so I quickly got up and took a piece of toilet paper from the coffee table and wiped Chen Yu's forehead. A layer of light yellow oil was wiped off immediately. When I smelled it, a strong corpse odor came directly to my nose. I was dumbfounded at the time and couldn't help asking Uncle Li: "What's going on? Why is there corpse oil coming out of Chen Yu's body?"

"Because his head no longer belongs to him!!"

Uncle Li glanced at Chen Yu and said unhappily: "It's really nonsense. You don't know anything and you're doing it blindly. Now it's good. You've caused trouble. Just watch, there will be more deaths in this village!"

Chen Yu's forehead was full of stinky oil. He was scared silly. His face was pale and his lips were trembling: "Uncle, you... don't scare me. There will be more deaths?"

"More than just deaths!"

Uncle Li sneered and said: "Let me ask you, did all the people in your village have their heads shaved overnight?"

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded. Nodding, hesitating for a moment, he added: "Even women were not spared."

"That's right! Fortunately, you came to find Xiaotian in time. If it had been a while, it would not be just a matter of death. The whole family would have been wiped out! Anyone whose head was shaved would not survive!"

Uncle Li lit a cigarette for himself, puffing away as he said leisurely: "Your situation is called ghost hair loss, ghost hair loss, ghost hair loss, this head shaved by a ghost is what the ghost likes, can you still keep it? The corpse oil under your scalp is the mark left by the ghost who shaved your head, announcing that your head has belonged to it, and it will come to take it as long as it has time!!"

Chen Yu was almost scared to tears, and he pulled my hand and said: "Xiaotian, you have to save me and my fellow villagers!"

Seeing his pitiful appearance with a bald head that exuded this stench, I was angry and amused, but I still nodded. After all, he is my brother, I can't just ignore him when something happens, right? It seems I have to go to Chenjiagou and see what is going on!
