Dapan. 一行三人,艰难的来到大盘山。 This mountain is not high, three people climb up the halfway up the mountainside, saw houses that the long slip constructs hillside, including some indeed bury the loess. 这座山并不高,三人爬上半山腰,看到一长溜依山而建的房舍,其中有一些的确把黄土掩埋起来。 On these loesses does not have the long grass, looked was turned recently from the mountain. 这些黄土上没长草,一看就是最近从山下翻上来的。 „Should be here.” “应该就是这里了。” Mu Qingyu puts out a compass one thing from the backpack, dipped the saliva with the finger, in the compasses, in the mouth mumbled, drew several in any case, waited for the moment, pointed at a direction to walk. 慕清雨从背包里拿出一个罗盘一样的东西,用手指蘸了唾沫,点在罗盘中间,口中念念有词,横竖画了几道,等了片刻,指着一个方向走过去。 Ye Shaoyang wants to have a look at her compass, has anything to distinguish with the Taoism compass, but feared that violated the taboo, is not good to open the mouth. 叶少阳很想看看她的罗盘,与道家罗盘有没有什么区别,但怕犯了忌讳,不好开口。 Cautious on covering the folk recipe of house walks, three people under a giant camphor tree, found these finally by the corpse that the straw mat covers. 小心翼翼的在掩盖房屋的土方上行走,三人最终在一棵巨大的樟树下,找到了那些被草席覆盖的尸体。 „Is this right.” Mu Qingyu referred to hanging the black streamer on camphor tree branch, this was the symbol that the native left behind. “是这没错。”慕清雨指了指挂在樟树枝上的黑幡,这是当地人留下的记号。 Opened the straw mat, strong 把草席揭开,一股浓重的 Some strange smells. 一些奇怪的气味。 On the faces of these corpses, is hanging a hoar frost one thing. 这些尸体的脸上和身上,都挂着一层白霜一样的东西。 Mu Qingyu explained, these are the salt crystals after melting, because wants Chen corpse to be very long, placing on the mountain is inevitably rotten, the villagers do not have the means that has to melt the table salt, sprinkles on the corpse, with guard against corrosion. 慕清雨解释,这些是融化后的盐晶,因为要陈尸很久,放在山上必然腐烂,村民没办法,只好把食盐融化,洒在尸体身上,用以防腐。 Going forward counted, altogether 12 corpses, the men and women have, oldest 60-70 years old, smallest looks 12 or 13-year-old, making one sob. 上前数了一下,一共十二具尸体,男女都有,最大的有60-70岁,最小的看着十二三岁,令人唏嘘。 The wet weather, on the mountain is the water puddle, Mu Qingyu discovers numb Jin everywhere, dipped water, wipes the face to each corpse in turn, then looks at carefully the moment, just now squares the posture to make him lie down. 下雨天,山上到处都是水洼,慕清雨找出一条麻巾,去蘸了水,轮流给每一具死尸擦脸,然后端详片刻,方才摆正姿势让其躺下。 The Ye Shaoyang curious inquiry, knew that this is Corpse Herding Technique Stage 1: Looks at the corpse. 叶少阳好奇询问,得知这是赶尸术的第一阶段:看尸。 Before catching up with corpse, corpse herder must has a liking for the face of caught up corpse carefully, this called to remove the fine hairs from face, the goal was not to remember the appearance of deceased person, but was opposite, making the deceased person clearly recognize oneself, one will catch up with the corpse time was good to coordinate, did not act unreasonably. 在赶尸之前,赶尸匠要把被赶的尸体的脸仔细看上一遍,这叫开脸,目的不是记住死人的样子,而是相反,让死人认清自己,一会赶尸的时候好配合一点,不乱来。 In corpse soul, although walked, but corpse qi has not melted, will have certain body consciousness, therefore after being stimulated, had a sudden rising saying. 尸体中魂魄虽然走了,但尸气并没有化去,会有一定的身体意识,所以受刺激之后,才有诈尸一说。 Ye Shaoyang decides the star in the one side with Yin-Yang Plate secretly, the definite surroundings do not have ghost monster evil spirit, in order to avoid the destruction catches up with the corpse the process, or comes back to life taking advantage of the corpse, is quite troublesome. 叶少阳在一旁暗暗用阴阳盘定星,确定周围没有鬼妖邪灵,以免破坏赶尸的过程,或者借尸还魂,也是相当麻烦。 Wu Yao looks at two people in the approach, oneself very clever sitting rests in the one side, does not talk too much. 吴瑶看着二人都在作法,自己很乖巧的坐在一旁休息,也不多言。 „After removing the fine hairs from face”, Mu Qingyu was put down by the boasting backpack, clear land, puts out some dry charcoals from the package, ignites with the paper money, paper middle fever. “开脸”之后,慕清雨被牛皮背包放下,清了一块土地,从包里拿出一些干燥的木炭,用纸钱引燃,在中间烧起纸来。 Then takes out a spirit-burning stove, lights solidified alcohol, puts a small pot, met the water, sprinkles several glutinous rice in inside. 然后取出一个酒精炉,点燃一块固体酒精,放上一口小锅,接了水,在里面洒上几把糯米。 „Eats to us?” Ye Shaoyang sees to eat, is a little immediately hungry. “给我们吃的吗？”叶少阳看到吃的,顿时有点饿。 „Eats to the deceased person.” Mu Qingyu said, throws smiles. “给死人吃的。”慕清雨说完,扑哧一笑。 Ye Shaoyang quite speechless. 叶少阳相当的无语。 Mu Qingyu fishes out some biscuits and chocolate from the package, three people of minutes/shares eat. 慕清雨从包里摸出一些饼干和巧克力,三人分吃。 The day still below Little Yu/rain, bamboo bamboo hats in three head/number of people drenches to launch unceasingly, is a little from top to bottom wet, is very uncomfortable. 天还在下小雨,三人头上的竹斗笠不断淋下水来,浑身上下都有点湿漉漉的,很不舒服。 However thinks that later can see true catching up corpse strange technique, in the heart is somewhat excited. 但是想到待会儿就能见到真正的赶尸奇术,心中还是有些激动。 The glutinous rice in pot, sends out delicate fragrance. 锅里的糯米饭,散发出一股清香。 Mu Qingyu went forward to stir the glutinous rice with a bamboo stick, the meter/rice also not ripe, said that sound „was OK”, remove the fire, put out a brass basin from the package, half a lifetime ripe rice as abundant as basin. 慕清雨上前用一根竹棍搅了搅糯米饭,米还没熟,道声“可以了”,撤掉火,从包里拿出一个铜盆,把半生熟的米饭盛到盆里。 „What view does this have?” Ye Shaoyang asked curiously. “这有什么说法吗？”叶少阳好奇问道。 „Half a lifetime food, eats to the person who these die an untimely death, symbolized them only to live half a lifetime. ‚Had half a lifetime food, after dying, does not have misery’, can extinguish the vicious tendencies.” “半生饭,是给这些横死的人吃的,象征他们只活了半生。‘吃了半生饭,死后无忧患’,能消弭戾气。” Mu Qingyu makes Ye Shaoyang help, the mouth that opens the dead, fishes the food with the bamboo clappers, the mouth of each corpse fed one, the closing up mouth, then made a dumbfounded matter: 慕清雨让叶少阳帮忙,一个个撑开死者的嘴巴,用竹板捞饭,每个尸体的嘴里都喂了一口,合拢嘴巴,接着做出了一件目瞪口呆的事: Puts out a long needle from the package, on the string the red silk thread, sews on a corpse mouth, including sewing seven, on lip seam in the same place. 从包里拿出一根长针,串上红丝线,在一具尸体嘴巴上缝起来,连缝七针,将上下嘴唇缝在一起。 „Is this must do?” Ye Shaoyang exclaimed in surprise. “这是要干什么？”叶少阳惊叹。 After this has the corpse later, corpse qi can be stopped up by the glutinous rice in the body, depressed not, can be driven away, otherwise the mouth opens all the way, glutinous Mitha comes out, corpse qi on powder. 这样待会起尸之后,尸气能被糯米堵在身体里,郁结不化,才能被驱赶,不然一路上嘴巴张开,糯米撒出来,尸气就散了。 Sews on the mouths of 12 corpses one after another. 陆续把十二具尸体的嘴巴都缝上。
