[Folk Horror] Ten Days of Mourning

You start looking around.

There is a tablet in front of him, on which is engraved with a knife: Kaotian Gong, the ancestor of the tallow tree, Yuqu Mansion, the king's life tablet, and the snake Buddha tablet hung on the tablet, which was originally the image of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but now it has become a The snake-headed bodhisattva is evil and nondescript.

You have a fruit knife, a sacrificial knife, snake slough, your grandfather and your fetal hair, and a headless land statue in front of you.

The air is getting thicker and thicker, and it is about to become solid, twisting, and dragging you and your friends into the wind of death.

Think again... There is no chance of winning if you fight hard, think again...

You keep forcing your brain to work...

First of all, this ceremony is stealing life, not borrowing life, but the tablet is carved according to the ceremony of borrowing life. In the name of future generations, the god of Yin is invited to "be alive and interesting", that is, the god of Yin is invited to come to the world... This is the tablet The most discordant place in the text...

No, no, in the 12th year of Jiaqing’s village chronicle, there was a ten-day mourning. At that time, the punishment was unfilial sons. It didn’t matter whether we behaved filially or not...No, in the 12th year of Jiaqing, it seemed that there was nothing to ask for at that time People recognize themselves as their ancestors... The ceremony of recognizing ancestors comes from the ceremony of borrowing longevity, but some places have been changed by the Yin God... The ceremony in the 12th year of Jiaqing is a simple life stealing... The current ceremony is fusion... This fusion must be Significant……

So what if it makes sense... The Yin God is so powerful, he...

The friend's expression suddenly became painful, but she seemed to see that you were thinking, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing.She is the victim of the seventh day, and now the night is getting thicker and darker, and the footsteps of the Yin God are approaching, for her, death is like a shadow.When you saw her painful expression, it was as if someone stabbed you hard in your heart.

But you can't waste time yet, you have to think again... After just now, you killed the snake in your body with a sacrificial knife, you approached the Yin God with death, at least until he was dispelled and you were killed, you were equal ...that's what the money guy said... think again...

Borrowing life... Stealing life... Filial daughter...

……

In an instant, a thought pierces the sky like lightning, and a cold hallucination makes you tremble.You can't care about anything else—

You seem to suddenly understand.

"I see..." You reacted from a long thought, almost muttering to yourself.

"Have you... thought of it?" The friend reluctantly asked, forcing out a difficult smile.

"I thought about it, don't be afraid, don't be afraid," you hold her hand, feeling weak and urgent, "I'm sorry... Are you suffering? Don't be afraid, trust me, I will save you, you will be fine, It will be fine in a while! Wait for me, I will save you right away, don't be afraid, you are fine..."

"I'm fine...whatever you want to do, just go..." The friend seemed to smile, "...I've always been, I believe in you..."

She let go of your hand, suddenly, as if a wave came to your eyes, you want to cry, but you don't know why.

Now is not the time to cry, He is coming, you must hurry up.

You almost get it.

Think carefully about the content of "Village Records - Family Trouble".

[In the 12th year of Jiaqing, an old man in the village fell into the water and died.The trees in his house withered and the grass fell, and then the chickens, dogs, and pigs died, and his heart did not know where to go.Ten days later, his son died of vomiting snakes.That night, the tomb of the old man suddenly rose up, and a wooden box was pressed on the bottom of the coffin, and it was sealed with "here is the unworthy son"]

This is the first ten-day consecutive mourning, the first time life-stealing, and the first family disturbance.It happened in the 12th year of Jiaqing, and this is what Qian Lao collected in his notes.At that time, the family trouble was the original life-stealing ceremony, and the funeral was held for ten days, and it was not a filial son whose heart was taken, and there was no saying that the Yin God was invited...

These fusions are the same as the contradiction between the village chronicle in the 11th year of Jiaqing mentioning that no one would drown within ten years, and the construction of a river shrine in the 21st year of Jiaqing, and the drowning of the elderly in the 12th year of Jiaqing. A fusion has taken place...

To put it more simply, asking for a memorial tablet, worshiping the Yin God as the ancestor, and being a filial son are the contents of the longevity ceremony.

Ten days of continuous mourning, and finally the snake eats the heart, this is the content of the life stealing ceremony.

There is nothing wrong with thinking this way.Then, thinking about it further, the fusion of the two rituals must be meaningful.Otherwise, why did the Yin God repeatedly dream about accusing your grandfather of being unworthy after he gave up inviting the Yin God?Why did the Yin God still insist on asking your grandfather to reshape the tablet after the money guy and your grandfather found out that something was wrong?Why are there 24 stories of filial piety written on the inside of the snake slough such as Caiyi entertaining relatives and Guo Jubuying'er?

It is clear that the ceremony of Stealing Longevity was held in the 12th year of Jiaqing, and there is no need to set up a yin god tablet, and it does not need to be a filial son, so it can be carried out with the help of ten days of mourning.

In other words, the integration of rituals is two-way, and the requirement of borrowing life will also be integrated into the ritual of stealing life.

In other words...according to the requirements of borrowing life, it is meaningful to be a so-called filial daughter, and to be a so-called filial daughter.

Your eyes fell on the memorial tablet: the tablet of the ancestor of the tallow, Kaotian, and the emperor of Yu Qufu.

Why has no one discovered this loophole... Obviously this loophole is quite obvious...

Probably because, even if a lot of power is lost, the Yin God is still a ghost, and humans cannot compete with it.Maybe Qian Lao and Goddess Zhao, who know the law, can do something with the help of the ceremony, but they have one thing in common.

It's not that there is not enough time, but that none of them are real, the so-called "descendants of the Yin God".

You don't know the law, you are just an ordinary person.But it's different now.Just like you can't stop the ten-day mourning process, if your thoughts are right, as long as you start doing it, He can't stop your "ritual".

As long as it conforms to what a "filial daughter" should do, maybe... maybe this method will work!

Your friend suddenly screamed in pain. She clutched her chest and fell to the ground. You trembled all over.Her eyes, her gaze changed.She looked straight out of the door of the Earth Temple.

It was pitch black outside, and the night seemed to be slowly tightening the small building.The light in the temple was dim, and the flashlight that was brought seemed to be slowly going out, dimly illuminating the headless statue and the smoke rising from the incense burner.

The air is getting more and more dignified, and you seem to smell a faint fishy smell.

rustle……

In the dead silence, even this sound is extremely obvious.

Something is crawling, approaching.

These thoughts don't take a few seconds, you don't know if your logic is correct, but... there is no other time.

Your friend's body gradually stiffens beside you, as if something is consuming her life.

You picked up the sacrificial knife in one hand, and the tablet in the other.

I am right.You say it in your heart.If there are any gods and Buddhas listening to my heart, I am willing to use everything to pray for good luck this time, pray that I find a way out, find the door of life, and pray that I will hold my future: that future must be bright and full of hope. The smiles of people I love.
