The so-called corpse raising ground refers to a place where the corpses buried there will not naturally decay and will turn into zombies over time.
According to "Zi Buyu" and "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", zombies have three aliases: moving corpse, walking shadow, and walking corpse. Moreover, "Zi Buyu" also divides zombies into eight varieties: purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies, wandering zombies, lying corpses, and non-bone zombies. There are many legendary records related to such corpse places and zombies in the notebook novels of the past dynasties in my country.
How does a corpse raising ground raise zombies? According to the traditional folk funeral theory in Yong'an, the feng shui of the Yin Mansion focuses on the Dragon Vein Acupoint Qi, which is simply the earth Qi of the burial cave.
In the many volumes of dragon identification manuals written by Mr. Yong'an Feng Shui from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods that I have collected over the years, there are many records about corpse raising places.
Mountain-shaped veins such as the dead cow tripe hole, the dog head hole, the hard wood spear head, the broken surface Wenqu, and the soil that cannot be made into soil are all dangerous places for raising corpses
< p> Among the secrets, there is the first trick to identify the beauty of the underworld: it is difficult to recognize the secrets of heaven and even more difficult to master them. Carefully look for the dragon and recognize the stars. The hair veins and heart points are delicate and tender, hiding the wind to avoid killing the purple alder bushes. If you want to know the golden color of bones and stones, the yin and yang of movement and stillness are separated and combined. This is the noble character of the Yin Tomb, and it will be left as a true legacy for future generations.In many burial theories such as Qingwuzi's "Burial Book", Guo Pu's "Burial Book", Guan Ren's "Geographical Guide", Yang Junsong's "Three Dragons Book", etc. According to scriptures and folklore, the place where corpses are raised is the most terrifying, dangerous and taboo cemetery in funeral feng shui.
After a body is mistakenly buried in a corpse raising ground, human muscles and internal organs will not only not rot, but hair, teeth, nails, etc. will continue to grow. The corpse absorbs the essence of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers due to the light of the sun and the moon, and some body functions are restored to life. Just like the dead soul comes to life, it will transform into a zombie, wandering around and sucking the blood of people for a living.
In many years of investigation of local customs and society, the bone picking season in Yong'an is mostly carried out around Qingming, Double Ninth Festival, and the Winter Solstice. Some people also choose auspicious days to pick up bones.
A certain sacrificial ceremony must be held before collecting bones, mainly to pay homage to the souls of the dead and to the Lord of the Land. According to the description of an old man who was engaged in geotechnical work in Yong'an in the old days, when some coffins buried in the corpse raising ground were opened and the bones were collected many years later, the corpses inside still looked as warm as life, and the clothes and clothes were as bright as new, and some even had green hair on their heads. It is as long as the knees, and the muscles and skin are still elastic.
The fingernails on both hands continue to grow and curl up, and the teeth are too long and protrude outside the lips - these are the so-called green-faced fangs.
Because there is neither enough oxygen nor sunlight in the coffins in the tombs, the skin of corpses that have remained intact for many years often appears blue or white.
Therefore, relevant anthropology experts believe that corpses without decay are zombies.
A story about a corpse raising place being haunted has been widely circulated in Gongchuan, Yongan and other places.
In the Qing Dynasty, a pregnant woman died due to dystocia. The family was grieved and hastily buried him. One day, someone walked to a small restaurant on the country road. The store owner grabbed him and loudly demanded his debt, saying: His wife had owed food on credit in the store for many years, and the old debt had not been repaid and new debts had been added! The two got into an argument, and one person responded that his wife had been dead for many years. , why did he owe money? In the end, the store asked him to hide behind the curtain in the store and wait
