Museum of the Dead

Sky burial - After death, the deceased is carried to the sky burial site through the funeral ceremony, and the celestial burial master recites the sutras and rituals and then feeds the eagles or vultures and other birds until they are devoured.

It is a posthumous gift held by Tibetans, and it is a form of letting the soul return to nature.

When Fei Yan set foot on this land, he couldn't help being shocked.

Opposite him is a continuous mountain range, with gentle slopes at his feet.

Regarding the location of the sky burial ground, there are also certain requirements.

There are generally winding mountains on the opposite side of it, because this can block the sight, and it can also cut off the missing of the relatives, the nostalgia for the homeland, or the yearning and unwillingness to the property and power of the dead who stay here.

Mountains generally face the sun, because facing the east will produce yang energy, and this masculinity will always envelope the burial ground, which can be regarded as a kind of suppression of the dead.

There is also - shelter from the wind.The celestial burial scene needs to be surrounded by mountains and bays in front of it, without mountain gaps and canyons, so that it will not be disturbed by the cold wind.

And the gentle slope that Fei Yan stepped on just now is the center of the sky burial.

This kind of gentle slope is conducive to the operation of the entire sky burial ceremony, and vultures and eagles can also fly to peck at it.

"My God! I finally saw it!" Qin Feng stretched out his hands excitedly, closed his eyes and felt the smell in the wind, "It's not in vain. Isn't it, Xiao Le?"

Li Xiaole's eyes were also much brighter than usual, and his face flushed with excitement.

"We... actually... saw it in advance!"

Fei Yan glanced at the two of them, "In advance?"

Sky burial is a custom in Tibet, which may be the same as cremation, burial, etc., choose a day, transport it to the mountain in batches, and perform the ceremony.

Qin Feng turned around, looked at Fei Yan's puzzled face, grabbed his shoulders, and replied familiarly: "There were six of us as backpackers, and we made an appointment to see the sky burial together. We are going to face the foundation first and then set off together. Who knew that we would run into it directly!"

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, he felt a chill on his back. Could it be because there are too many dead bodies in this place?

"your hands."

He heard a cold voice, as if from hell.

He turned around, only to realize that the voice came from the long-haired man behind him who hadn't spoken.

Qin Feng was a little apprehensive, and when he realized it, he withdrew his hand resentfully, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and changed the subject: "Then what...why did you come to Tibet?"

"We're here to find someone."

……

In a youth hostel, two tall and sturdy men were packing their bags.

"Brother," one of them was wearing only a black vest with a beard on his face, and the muscles on his arms were about to explode, "Why haven't those two boys come here yet? Can't get through the phone?"

"Probably on the way!" The man called Big Brother threw his bag aside. He was handsome and tall, and he was leaning half of his body on the bed at this time, "Hurry up! My little baby!"

After finishing speaking, he let out a deep and wretched laugh.

The bearded man was quite helpless, packed his bag, and shook his head: "What's that kid's name?"

"Qin Feng." The man said proudly, "Does he look handsome just by his name?"

The bearded man waved his hand: "This name...isn't that the college student in the group? I heard that he is quite famous in their school, and a bunch of little girls are chasing him!"

"It's because he's from that school that I'm looking for him."

"How?" asked the bearded man.

"Secret." The man said mysteriously.

The bearded man didn't continue to ask, and criticized him: "This kid just came here for a trip. If he knows that the guy who has been pretending to be a cute girl in the group is gay, shouldn't he be scared to death? Then you have to take it easy, don't worry about it." Same as the last one, stalking to death."

"Got it, got it!" The man leaning on the bed turned on his phone, pulled out a photo, and exclaimed to his face, "It looks handsome, haven't you seen a real person before? Maybe the photo is too p Already!"

"It's become popular for men to cheat on photos these days?"

"Tsk, let's talk when you see the person! If the real person doesn't match the photo at all, I'll take a trip to Tibet honestly, without any second thoughts!"

"Speaking of which, if you want to play, you just find the same kind to play with. Why do you go to the backpacker to meet people?" The bearded man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket, lit one, and the room was filled with smoke after a while.

"Isn't this exciting?" A smile completely inconsistent with his appearance appeared on the man's face, which made people extremely uncomfortable, "Anyway, I'm not at a loss."

The bearded man finished smoking a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out fiercely, "You can do whatever you want! Be careful, and don't forget the ultimate purpose of our coming here."

"Got it!" The man collapsed on the bed and stretched out, "I will definitely find her this time."

"But before that, call my little baby," the man dialed a series of numbers, and after waiting for a long time, he still heard a familiar mechanical female voice.

"Where did you go?"

The man's gaze became deep, and then he looked up at the wall of the youth hostel, on which many guests wrote words like "xx is here for a visit" with a marker pen.

The man's eyes were focused, and after a while, he suddenly murmured: "I found you."

In an inconspicuous corner of the wall, a line of small characters as thin as a mosquito was written with a black pen——

【Dad, Mom, I'm coming to Tibet. ——Jiang Shanshan]

……

"This name... I seem to have heard of it somewhere?" Qin Feng took off his hat and pushed his hair back with his hands, "I have a little impression, but... I can't remember it for a while..."

Fei Yan told them Jiang Shanshan's name just now, and the two seemed harmless, telling them that they might get some unexpected clues.

Li Xiaole who was at the side suddenly said, "This...isn't...that girl from our hospital?"

Both Qin Feng and Fei Yan were stunned.Qin Feng patted the little fat man's back with a palm: "Okay, boy! Tell me, do you have a crush on him?"

Li Xiaole blushed, he hesitated for a long time without speaking.

Qin Feng stared wide-eyed: "It's over, you really have a crush on him!"

He and Li Xiaole are childhood friends, he can smell what he ate for lunch when this guy farts, and now Li Xiaole's reaction, he can guess it with his toes.

"I...I..." Li Xiaole said "I" for a long time before saying, "I...haven't seen her for a long time."

Fei Yan was overjoyed, at least these two were Jiang Shanshan's alumni, so they knew something.

"Then do you have a good relationship with her?" Fei Yan asked hastily, he had a hunch that following these two people would find Jiang Shanshan whose whereabouts were unknown—whether she was still alive or not.

Li Xiaole shook his head, "No...haven't spoken."

Fei Yan was a little disappointed, "I see."

Li Xiaole took out her mobile phone, "But I followed her Weibo quietly."

After finishing talking, I clicked on Weibo, but found that there was no internet in this place.

"Forget it, I'll show you when there is a signal."

Fei Yan nodded, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, he turned around and saw that it was Yin Luan.

"What's wrong?" Why is it so sticky all of a sudden, he thought to himself, but he didn't move his hand away.

Yin Luan pointed to the front and said, "The ceremony will be held soon."

"Maybe Jiang Shanshan is among the many undead."

Fei Yan was slightly taken aback, but if he linked the two words "Sky Burial Ground" and "Jiang Shanshan" - Yin Lu'an was right.

Several people paused their conversation and walked towards the sky burial ground.

They may not be aware that what they are boarding at this time is the largest Sertar sky burial ground in Tibet. As they walk up the steps, tourists begin to increase. There are Tibetans and Han people inside.

Fei Yan and the others followed the crowd and walked forward. After a while, he saw many statues about Buddha. Could it be that sky burial has something to do with religion?

"There are different theories about the origin of the custom of celestial burial." Qin Feng seemed to see Fei Yan's doubts, and explained to him enthusiastically, "However, the most widely circulated and most accepted by the majority of people is—— Buddhist sources say."

"Buddhism?" Fei Yan suddenly remembered that the dean believed in Buddhism, and Jiang Shanshan majored in university - folk culture.

The completion of the field investigation may also be the reason for a college girl to go to Tibet alone, but this is just a conjecture. Before meeting Jiang Shanshan, no one can guarantee that this conjecture is correct.

Yin Luan suddenly took out a mobile phone, not the one he usually used.Fei Yan asked suspiciously, "You still carry two mobile phones with you?"

Yin Lu'an spread the phone in front of him, opened the address book, and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "It's only for Guichai directly."

Fei Yan was curious, he approached the curator, poked open the address book, and found that the names saved in it were bright——except for Tianling and Hu Po, there were Hades, the first-level judge, the second-level judge... until the last one , is the No.18 judge.

How can there be such a note?Fei Yan was about to be amused by the curator, and couldn't help but ask, "Do they... have no names?"

"Have."

"Then why are the remarks given to them all job titles?" Fei Yan thought it was funny when he recalled these remarks, and his eyes rolled.

"Because I'm too lazy to remember." Yin Lu'an tapped Tianling's name lightly, "I don't need to remember the name except for business affairs."

"Oh."

It's really ruthless, Mr. Curator.

Fei Yan was suddenly curious, what would Yin Luan make a note for himself, Fei Yan?

But just now everyone said, don't you need to note the name of people who don't contact you except for business?

Fei Yan was suddenly depressed. It seemed that he and Yin Lu'an had never been in touch with each other by mobile phone. Maybe... Maybe his insignificant number didn't appear in the curator's address book at all.

He was lost in thought here, but suddenly he heard Tianling's voice from the phone.

"Hello! Boss?" Tianling's voice was hoarse and noisy.

This place is the celestial burial platform, which is considered the holiest place by the Tibetan people. Fei Yan did not dare to speak loudly, but only whispered: "Tianling?"

The tone on the other end of the phone immediately became brighter, "Xiao Feiyan! Hey, I can't finish this task soon. Do you know how troublesome it is to take away so many undead together? Amber and I are almost exhausted—— "

"Help me investigate something after I'm done." Yin Lu'an interrupted him. If he continued to complain, he might not be able to hang up the call.

"Tsk tsk!" Tianling dissatisfied on the other side of the computer, "You and Xiao Feiyan came to a free and holy trip to Tibet, and Amber and I are doing coolies here, so you still want to squeeze us."

Yin Luan didn't speak.

After a while, Tianling finally compromised: "Got it, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Yin Lu'an hung up the phone after hearing this sentence, and Tianling probably jumped up on the other end of the phone!

Fei Yan was surprised: "You... haven't told him about the investigation yet?"

Yin Lu'an: "It's okay, he is very reliable and will understand what I mean."

Fei Yan: "..."

A companion is like a tiger, having such a superior is also a test of one's ability!

The sunshine and exercise made Qin Feng sweat all over his face. He was a little out of breath. He looked back at his good friend who was two steps behind them. Li Xiaole was carrying a big bag and holding a bottle of water. He was already panting and sweating profusely. up.

Qin Feng glanced at the two people around him again, and said with emotion: "Why don't you two sweat! And your luggage?"

Fei Yan lied without blushing, and said flatly, "I was robbed."

The jaws of the two young men almost fell to the ground, "Then...are you all right?"

Fei Yan shook his head, "It's okay, life is the most important thing."

Then he pointed to a large group of people in front of him and asked, "What is that?"

Qin Feng tilted his head and glanced, "That's a lama, explaining the knowledge of sky burial to others."

The author has something to say: Fei Yan: Am I not worthy of having a name in the cell phone of the curator...

Curator: No... Listen to me...

(don't listen or don't listen)

Tianling who revealed his voice once: You two should be together soon, but my role is getting less and less...

Do you want to know the remarks the curator gave Fei Yan?The next chapter will be revealed~~~
