Chapter 81 The corpse raising ground outside Chang'an
There is a deserted wilderness in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.
This place belongs to the suburbs of Chang'an City and is a area to be developed. In recent years, the country has vigorously developed real estate and adopted the policy of surrounding rural areas from cities. The demolition and construction extends from the urban area to the suburbs.
This place belongs to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. It used to be a deserted wilderness. Logically speaking, it is not too far from Chang'an. Even if the factory cannot be built, the factory can at least farm. It would be a pity to abandon it for no reason.
However, the older generation in Chang'an City knows that this place is not peaceful and unclean. If the old man says that, there is only one possibility, and there may be dirty things here.
It is said that around 1995, a Taiwanese businessman came to Chang'an to invest and fell in love with the place in the East Suburbs. After talking to the official, he quickly took down the land. So in the beginning of spring, he broke ground to build a factory. Not long after, the materials were shipped over and the construction workers also began to move in, but a strange thing happened the second week after the construction started.
At this time, we were going to dig the foundation. When the foundation was dug three or four meters deep, we didn't expect to dig a pile of scattered bones out. The workers were shocked and the construction party quickly called the police. After the police came, they blocked the scene and opened all the bones. There were about five or six pieces of them. It was even obvious that there were knife and gunshot wounds from these bones. Later, after investigation and forensic examination, the police found that the pile of bones may have a decades of history. They had been buried underground before the founding of the country. In the era of chaos, the dead were basically thrown away and they were done.
Since it was a historical issue and not a criminal case, this episode was quickly blown away. The construction party continued to start work, but unexpectedly, only one day later, when the foundation was laid again, another accident occurred. A worker dug out a tattered straw mat from the ground, and a corpse was wrapped inside the straw mat. What was even more surprising was that the corpse in the straw mat was not rotten, and he was wearing very worn and age-like clothes.
The workers exploded when the corpse was dug out. After the police arrived, they were stunned. It was explainable to dig out bones, but it was no trivial to dig out a corpse. Moreover, the corpse was preserved very completely, and even the face could be seen clearly.
An old man living near the eastern suburbs came to see the fun. He said that this place used to be a chasm, but at that time, he could see more than a dozen graves scattered. Later, for some reason, the graves were gone, but no one nearby dared to pass by this piece at night.
Afterwards, there is nothing else.
The Taiwanese businessmen withdrew their investment and left quietly. The construction site was completely shut down, and the place became a barren land.
However, people from nearby saw that on the third night of digging out the body, a group of people suddenly came to block the place, and then a fire broke out late at night. The fire burned for a long time, and the smell of burnt. After dawn the next day, a brave man came over and found that the soil in a piece of place was burned black and the surrounding weeds were burned clean.
There is the place where the body was dug out in a straw mat.
After twenty years, this place has been abandoned. Even if it has been developed near Chang'an, it is unknown why it has been ignored.
That night, a car drove over in the wilderness outside the eastern suburbs at about nine o'clock. The door was pushed open, and three people were wearing double-breasted male clothes with their heads wrapped around their heads. Except for one of them, they looked quite old, the two were probably around forty years old, with dark skin and not tall figure.
After getting out of the car, two people opened the trunk and took out tools from the inside. The old man, who was quite old, walked straight to the middle of the field, then squatted down and casually pulled the dust on the ground with his hands. After a moment, a piece of charred soil appeared, as if it had been burned by fire.
The man sighed and said without raising his head: "It's a pity that one was missing. It was burned after it was dug out. We didn't have time to take it away and ruin it in vain."
"Uncle Donggan, are the others okay?" the two of them walked over with shovels and asked.
Uncle Donggan shook his head and said, "It's okay. Since then, no one has come to this place. It's buried deeper and no one can easily find it... I mean the place, you can start, dig it out quickly and we will leave overnight tonight."
"Okay, Uncle Donggan, let's invite the body!"
Asking for a corpse is a professional and rare term. It is said that the ancient witch people in Xiangxi would raise the corpse in a place with strong yin energy. After they were pregnant and developed, they would dig out the corpse and take it away.
This kind of corpse raising is very different from the corpse driving in Xiangxi. The corpse driving in Xiangxi only sends the bodies of people who died in a foreign land back to their hometown for burial. Together with the venomous poison and the fallen flower cave girl, it is also called the Three Evils in Xiangxi.
It is different to keeping corpses. This is a witchcraft passed down from the ancient Miao people in western Hunan. Corpse raising people will look for some corpses and then raise them underground. When the corpses are formed, they will be dug out again. When the corpses are dug out, they almost remain in their original appearance. The body does not rot at all, and even the hair, teeth and pores on their bodies can be clearly visible. The skin is still loose and sagging, just like they have just died.
There were two famous corpse raising sites in China, one is Yong'an corpse raising sites in southern Fujian, and the other is Fuxian Lake in Yuxi. It is said that there are many corpses standing under the water. Whenever the water flows, these underwater corpses will swing with the water flow, just like a person is still walking underwater before he dies.
However, as these two places became well-known to the public, the two corpse-raising areas gradually became abandoned and basically no longer exists.
As for why raising corpses, outsiders don’t know. Only the great witches in the ancient Miao tribe in Xiangxi know that this is a secret passed down from generation to generation, and outsiders never know it.
