What exactly is a scam? And does Xiangxi corpse squad really exist?

Deceiving a corpse is the resurrection of the dead! ~ it's not really supernatural!

Some time ago, the program "Approaching Science" appeared! Said a dead man was going to be cremated! Suddenly resurrected! ~ in fact, human nerve organs have stopped secretly! ~ In fact, some things can be explained by science!

Definition criteria of death. It is common to stop breathing; Second, the heart stops beating for a long time (about 10 minute); The third is brain death; The fourth is nerve death. First, stop breathing. If the time is short, many things can be saved now. Second, the heart stops beating, and many can be recovered after rescue; Third, brain death, some are dead, some are completely dead, and some are vegetative; Fourth, nerve death, and some can be recovered.

The exact death toll is four. For example, if the head falls off, the nerves are not completely necrotic, and the body will still move. Chickens, in particular, can run far after being beheaded, which is quite scary. Some can run back to the henhouse. If technology develops to a certain extent, a person's head will be surgically attached like other parts of the body in a short time, and he may still be alive.

The main reason for swindling corpses is to stop breathing, that is, to die, as a sign of judging death. Some people may recover within a short time after death, resulting in so-called corpse forgery.

Up to now, no one can point out the real situation of corpse driving in Xiangxi.

According to people who have the custom of driving corpse monsters in Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu counties in western Hunan, driving corpse is not for people to see, but at night. Who dares to go out and see the dead who will leave at midnight? However, according to hotel operators in four counties, the dead were not carried by people, but jumped like sparrows. Because the corpse driver had to stay in the hotel, it was more clear that only one person drove three or five bodies.

According to the local people's unanimous statement, the corpse driver is a mage in cassock. No matter how many bodies there are, he will go there alone.

As for its actual form, it is not so much "driving" the corpse as "leading", because this mage is not behind the corpse, but leading the way in front of the corpse, beating gongs while walking, so that nocturnal people can avoid them, and people with dogs lock them up. When there are multiple bodies, connect them with straw ropes, one every six or seven feet.

When walking at night, the bodies were wearing tall felt hats and some yellow papers with symbols on their foreheads. The hotel that does the business of corpse drivers is not closed all year round, of course, it is day and night. Its intention is twofold:

1. Behind those two doors is the resting place of the body. They arrived before dawn and left after dusk. The body leaned against the wall behind the door. If the weather is bad and you can't leave, you may stay for several days and nights.

No one has touched the door of this hotel except the passing corpse driver. Because of the horror of the corpse, the door has become a very mysterious and horrible forbidden area. Even the staff in the hotel didn't look around. Even if they knew there was no body there, no one wanted to see the back of the mysterious door.

Second, bodies come and go after dark and before dawn. Actually, it's all at night. There is no need to close the door in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the body. Closing the door is nothing more than theft prevention. This kind of hotel will not be stolen. Thieves dare not patronize. Even if they dare to steal, they will not steal anything.

It is said that corpses can jump because of the yellow paper symbols on their faces, so when they stop at a place, the mage immediately removes the paper symbols from their faces, otherwise they will jump out by themselves.

During the Anti-Japanese War, under the eaves of a family in Datong Street, Chongqing, a note was posted on the door frame, which read: "Send the corpse back to Hunan on behalf of the agency."

People who have heard of "corpse removal" already know that it is corpse removal after reading the note, because he explained that "returning to Hunan" would never be confined to Hunan, nor would it be as horrible as "corpse removal". Isn't "transportation" more elegant?

"Acting to transport the corpse back to Hunan" is an old man in his 60s. According to him, the above-mentioned corpse-driving situation is true, and he is not sure when and who created it. This weird method is closely related to Taoism.

He also said: it is rare for outsiders to see this, not for others to see, but no one dares to see it.

He said: this industry is difficult to do outside Xiangxi. First of all, accommodation becomes a problem. Second, people who walk at night don't know how to avoid the gong, but they come to watch the excitement. It's really scary. Third, in many villages, there is no road outside the village, and it is bound to pass through the village. In most places, corpses are not allowed to enter the village, let alone jump. At the same time, the residents along the road don't understand this situation, and they can't ask them to cooperate-they lock up the dog as soon as they hear the gong, because the dead body is afraid of dogs, and if the dog bites the clothes of the dead body, the dead body will fall. A dog was easy to deal with, so a group came and bit the clothes of the dead body at sixes and sevens. Even if the corpse driver is bitten, things will be very serious, but Xiangxi does not have these difficulties.

Why is there a business of "corpse driver"? Because the upper reaches of Yuanjiang River in western Hunan are barren, most poor people go to eastern Sichuan or eastern Guizhou to make a living by peddling, collecting herbs or hunting. There are many mountains in those places, malaria is very heavy, falciparum malaria is often prevalent, and the living environment is extremely bad. Except for the local Miao people, outsiders seldom go. None of the Han people who died in those places were rich. The Han people traditionally have a deep concept of transporting corpses back to their hometowns for burial. However, even if they have money, it is difficult to transport them by vehicles or stretchers on rugged mountain roads thousands or hundreds of miles away, so someone has created this strange economic way to transport the bodies back to their hometown.

One person can catch several bodies, and the cost is naturally too small.

As for preservation, it is said that the corpses transported by this method will not be corrupted from the time they are transported to the destination, but those that have been corrupted before transportation cannot be transported.

It may be mysterious witchcraft, superstition, a trick to cheat money or a sensational rumor. Yes and no, I hope readers can distinguish clearly.
