God Bestows Evil Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Cremation and Burial

last night.

Wu Xian and others were burying Granny Wang.

Time was tight, the task was heavy, and out of fear, they could only bury the person hastily.

It's just after noon today.

Eleven people were involved in the burial, so there was plenty of manpower and time, so careful planning could be done before burying the body.

Wen Chao took a sip of warm water.

"Since I survived in the blessed land, I have put aside my original academic research and turned to delving into things that ordinary people think are deviant."

"It is recorded in "Southern History" that the dead were buried in four ways: water burials were thrown into the river, cremation burials were burned to ashes, earth burials were sealed in coffins, and bird burials were abandoned in the middle."

"Those buried in water will be eaten by fish and turtles, and those buried in birds will be pecked out by birds. Their souls will follow the fish and birds to the distance, towards freedom..."

"Everyone must have noticed that there are no fish in the water and no birds in the sky in this blessed land, so bird burial and water burial are not feasible. The only options we can try are burial and cremation."

"Wu Xian and five others proved last night that information can be obtained through burial. I suggest that we try cremation today."

cremation…

Everyone immediately started discussing in a low voice.

Wen Chao's proposal cannot be said to be useless, but after it has been proven that burial is feasible, it would be a bit risky to proceed with cremation.

Fortunately, there were two corpses in total.

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to separate the two groups, one for cremation and the other for burial.

The cremation group included Wen Chao, Jiang Chun, Wu Xian, Du E, Jian Lingyu and Su Xuan. They wanted to bury Yang Bin's body.

The body was already in pieces, and it would be troublesome to bury it just to sew it up.

The burial group included the Wei brothers and sisters, Li Juxian, Ran Qiuhua, and Gao Fushuai. They felt that Aunt Miao died of drowning, which would conflict with cremation, so they chose this choice.

Wu Xian was a staunch believer in cremation. He even advocated that both corpses be cremated.

The reason is the jar!

There are five elements in a correct funeral, but Wu Xian felt that they only needed to solve four of them, because everyone had already chosen the coffin.

When everyone enters the burial-free village, the coffin or urn they choose is the necessary element for them to leave the blessed place.

For example, Wu Xian and Du E chose coffins, and only coffins needed to be buried.

Although the urn was larger, it looked a bit like an urn in shape, so Wu Xian guessed that the only way to rest Aunt Miao and Yang Bin in peace was through cremation.

But firstly, Wei Hengbo wanted to be more cautious, and secondly, Wu Xian really needed a control group to verify his ideas, so he did not forcefully persuade them.

Let's not mention the burial for now.

For the cremation, Wu Xian, Wen Chao and Su Xuan went to collect enough dry firewood.

The three ladies were responsible for making Yang Bin's body look decent. Even if it didn't require careful stitching, at least it should make Yang Bin look decent when he left.

Trying to piece together the broken corpses is a test of the human heart.

Jiang Chun wanted to vomit several times, and Du E's expression was a little unbearable. Only Jian Lingyu remained calm from beginning to end.

It took a long time, but everyone was finally ready.

Yang Bin's body was spliced out and lying on a flat wooden board.

Around his body were dotted many wild flowers picked from the wild, as well as a female native made by Du E's "ingenuity", and paper money with round square holes cut from rags.

Look at the corpses of fly larvae starting to appear on it.

Wu Xian sighed slightly.

Yang Bin's wife and children may have never dreamed that their husband and father would die here so hastily. I hope he will not be involved in the turmoil in the blessed land in the next life because of soy sauce.

Subsequently.

Wu Xian lit the dry wood.

Wow!

The flames were burning brightly, and the hot smoke contained a strong smell of grease.

Normally.

Burning people requires spreading diesel fuel. But Wu Xian and the others had limited conditions and no diesel, so they could only cut some pig fat from yesterday's wild boar and put it under Yang Bin's body.

At this point someone may be confused.

When they burn bodies outside, aren't they afraid that the ashes will be blown away by the wind and cannot be completely collected?

In fact, everyone who has experience burning corpses knows this.

Even the incinerator in a funeral home cannot completely burn a person to ashes, leaving some bones and **** behind.

A dry wood fire isn't nearly as powerful as an incinerator, so they don't have to worry about that.

The fire burned for a long time.

Finally, a broken mummy was left on the spot.

The five people each took a stone, smashed the mummy, swept it on the ground, and placed the mixture of plant ash, some sand, and ashes in an urn...

It's a little sloppy, but it's done.

Regarding the disposal of urns, there are some theories that they are enshrined in cemeteries, temples, and ghost houses, some are buried under tombstones, and some are scattered in rivers, lakes, and mountains.

Let's just add up the total.

I decided to bury the ashes in the soil and put a tombstone on top.

I was so busy until it was almost dark, so I had a simple dinner with another group, and after distributing food to the elderly, everyone went back to their rooms to wait for nightfall...

Inside the thatched house.

Wu Xian and other six people sat together in a circle. There was a pottery bowl next to each person, and the pottery bowl was filled with clean water.

The water surface was shaking slightly, and the light from the oil lamp seemed to be flashing rapidly.

Wu Xian tilted his body and asked.

"Professor Wen Da, can't you really make a few mirrors?"

Wen Chao shook his head.

"I know how to make a mirror, but the conditions here don't allow it. Some things cannot be done with knowledge, and certain basic conditions need to be met."

Wu Xian sighed and flicked the water bowl in front of him.

"Then we can only rely on this thing today."

last night.

Everyone was transferred out of thin air into their own coffins or urns. The condition for transfer was sight. As long as they were looked at, they would not be transferred.

No one can guarantee it.

The same thing won't happen tonight.

So today we all sit together in a circle, and if other people's eyes are unreliable, we can stare at the reflection in the water and let our eyes look at ourselves.

Everyone stared at the others intently.

It didn't take long.

Everyone felt that their eyes were extremely dry.

But even if you blink, you must first obtain the consent of others, because you must ensure that everyone is watched at all times.

During this time they heard many strange noises.

There were movements from the main house, the howls of monsters outside the village, and things in the moonlight were also about to move.

The big eyes and small eyes continued for a long time.

Wu Xian felt that if he continued, the dark circles under his eyes that took a month of rest would disappear again...

"I suggest you give up!"
