I Heard I've Been Dead For Thousand Years

When Lin and Meng walked to the white valley of Xuemo Valley, Wuchan was surprised to find that there were countless small stone piers beside the valley. The squares were trapezoidal, the upper side was a square, and the bottom base was also a square. , Only three feet tall, it looks like a small grave.

"What are these things?"

Wuzen screamed in surprise, walked to a small stone pier and squatted down. These small stone piers have three colors, gray, red and black, of which crimson is the most common. Right now, this one is indeed gray and white, with gold lacquer engraved on it. Writing.

Wu Chan looked down and suddenly exclaimed.

"Is this really a tomb?"

The handwriting engraved with gold lacquer on the stone pier is exactly the date of birth and death and life deeds of a person.

Lin Meng walked over and glanced down, stretched out his hand to the three different colored stone grave bags and said:

"This is the traditional burial method of the northern barbarians, which is different from our five continents. This tomb bag is made of a kind of artificially prepared mud called white mud. Once it is air-dried, it becomes grayish white and extremely hard, and it does not leak. ."

"The northern barbarians will first lay a tomb with a wide top and a narrow bottom, spread a layer of white clay and air-dry, then put the deceased in a bar-shaped iron coffin and put it down. This tomb is also upright, and then Seal the outside with white clay."

Before Lin Meng finished speaking, Wu Chan suddenly interrupted in surprise: "They buried the coffin upright?"

"Well, to be more specific, let the dead stand and be buried."

Lin Meng nodded and continued:

"The northern barbarians are by nature staunchly believe in war and worship victory in glory. They would rather stand dead than live on their knees. In their eyes, if a person lay down and cannot stand up, it means defeat in the war and the loser will lose the glory, so they will The coffin was buried upright, and the dead stood in the tomb, meaning that they never fell down and never lost their glory."

"And the tombs of those who died of old, sick, and sick among the dead are gray-white. They are made of white clay without modification. What you see now is engraved with gold lacquer. It is a man with great achievements and great glory in his lifetime. People will receive treatment only after they die. The graves of other people who died of old age and sickness only have a name and the year of birth and death."

"As for the crimson tomb bags with the largest number, they are the graves of those who died in battle. The red color in the northern barbarian tradition represents battle for glory, and death in battle is the most glorious thing among the northern barbarians. Those who are martyrs are martyrs, and to commemorate their glory, their graves are painted with red paint."

"Look at the black tomb bags. Not only are they black, they have no writing on them. There are even black chains and big locks imprisoned by them. They are the tombs of the guilty."

"In the tradition of the northern barbarians, the guilty will be bound and put in an iron coffin, burned with fire outside, and roasted alive in the iron coffin."

"Black represents sin among the northern barbarians, and fire represents punishment. After the sinner is executed, a long nail will be nailed directly above his skull, which means that even the soul will be broken and punished."

"Finally, the guilty person will be put into the tomb with a black coffin. Although it was buried upright, the entire tomb will be poured with white clay to die. The outside will be painted black and locked with an iron chain, which means guilt. The person will sleep forever without being overborn."

After all, Lin Meng pointed to the scattered bones in the distance beyond the valley.

"As for those bones, they are all escapers, those who escaped in war or in the trials of the Northern Barbarian's own tribe. Fleeing is a manifestation of cowardice. In the tradition of the northern barbarian, the cowardly abandoned their glory. Should be cast aside for eternity."

"It's like the barbarians of the first generation of barbarians, even if they have achieved the position of barbarians comparable to saints, those who want to recall the northern barbarians are still scolded by him and are despised by the northern barbarians, precisely because the southern barbarians were from the northern barbarians. The blood of a man and horse that fled and migrated is the descendant of the coward in Beiman's eyes."

"In the tradition of Beiman,

After Wuchan listened, his expression was a little dazed, and he put his hands together and stood up.

"This northern barbarian is not only cruel, but even the traditions and customs are so cruel and ruthless. It's really terrifying."

"No."

Lin Meng shook his head and sighed, sarcastically sneered:

"It's not that the northern barbarians are cruel, but the environment here makes them cruel and ruthless. Only in this way will they survive."

"If all these northern barbarians were great saints full of benevolence and morality, they would have been extinct!"

"Let's go, let's take a look in the valley, then you will be able to understand what a true northern barbarian is, and I hope you will make a little psychological preparation."

After that, Lin Meng raised his leg and walked towards the valley, Wu Chan followed behind him and said with a little heart:

"The northern barbarians are so cruel, really don't take us at all?"

"Don't worry about this. Although the northern barbarians do not exclude outsiders, they can't say that they are welcome. At least they won't do anything to us."

Lin Meng shook his head and laughed mockingly.

"It's not so much that we don't welcome living and don't reject it, it's that we don't pay attention to outsiders, which is a complete ignorance. These people did not even pay attention to the early savage gods comparable to saints. Not to mention us?"

Sure enough, the two of them went into the valley without any trouble, not even a member of the northern barbarian had seen the two of Lin Meng and completely ignored them.

The people of the northern barbarians in the valley are very different from those of the Nanban people on the five continents, and their folk customs are extremely tough.

Adult men are either training or drinking. Even children are training with a weapon. As for women, they are doing rough work such as iron making. They look tougher and stronger than the other. There is no such thing as the delicate and delicate land of the five continents. A beautiful fairy.

Wuzen couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this, and said in a daze:

"It's no wonder that the northern barbarians are not as blessed as the southern barbarians, but their fighting power is so sturdy. Almost everyone is a soldier, the old and the weak, women and children. Even those women, in my opinion, can easily fall down three or five. Ordinary sergeants, and there are even people who can be shirtless in such a snowy and cold place!"

Just as they were talking, Lin and Meng happened to be under a dead tree in the valley. They saw two brawny men who looked exactly the same as twin brothers. They were shirtless and gave a boy who seemed only sixteen or seventeen years old with his hands and feet tied to the neck. There is a noose on it.

Strangely, there was not the slightest bit of sorrow or reluctance on the young man's face and eyes before he died. Only deep regrets were revealed in the burning eyes, as if there was something unfinished.

"What crime did this young man commit that he was going to be put to death like this?"

Wu Chan stopped and frowned deeply, and the compassionate heart of the monk rose.

Lin Meng seemed to be unmoved, just shook his head and sighed.

"You monk, I forgot what I just said. The way the northern barbarians put the sinner to death is to put them in an iron coffin and burn them to death with fire, not by the usual hanging. Now this is basically the case among the northern barbarians. It is not a punishment, but a ritual symbolizing honor."
