3. The hometown of the corpse

The world-famous area of ​​Kekexili is due to high cold, lack of oxygen and water plants. The herds living in this area can only wander around, live by water plants due to the environment, move their homes every few days, and are in a nomadic state all year round. The people there did not have stable settlements before their lifetime, and there was no fixed sky burial platform after their death. At the same time, there were no temples or monks in these areas, let alone those complicated funeral ceremonies. People generally practice wild burials and abandoned burials. Wild burials mean that after a person dies, their bodies are taken off and thrown into the wild, wherever they die. Abandoned burials refer to the fact that after a person dies, the living family removes the tent and moves them away, and abandons the dead on the former site. Anyone who uses this burial method usually takes off his clothes, and covers them on the dead until his lifetime, looking like a living person sleeping.

The burial customs of this nomadic tribe are more likely to cause corpses to be raised. Although they cannot build low doors to resist corpses, people also take corresponding measures when there is no other way. For example, when corpses are thrown into the wild, they are tied to natural stone stakes or large stones with a rope to prevent corpses from running away to harm people. Despite this, corpses often occur. People often encounter corpses. For example, the documentary of Sima Township, Anduo County (this person used to be a robber).

), one year he rode a horse and hung a knife to the Nacang tribe in the northwest of Nagqu (now the jurisdiction of Nima County). After he grabbed a good horse, he rode and stepped back quickly. One day after running for several days and nights, he got off the horse in an empty and deserted place, and tied the two horses to a small pile with a long rope used by Tibetan herders, sitting cross-legged beside the pile to make fire and make tea (this is the habit of all robbers). He wanted to let the horse eat some grass under the cover of night, and he also filled in some hunger.

The two hungry horses didn't eat grass, but looked at him in fear, and roared in his nostrils. Zhaduo looked back in confusion. Only a few steps away from him, standing a naked zombie, staring at him like a wild beast that was about to pounce on him, and there was a hair rope tied to his left leg. I didn't see where he wanted to tie it. Perhaps because of the extreme tension at that time. He turned over the horse and ran away desperately. Under the hazy moonlight, he clearly saw that the corpse had been raised.

After catching up. About five kilometers away, there was a small mountain bag. More than a dozen herders lived at the foot of the mountain. As a robber, Zhaduo naturally could not be discovered, so he walked around the mountain and hid to the top of the mountain. His heart was still "fluttering". About a quarter of an hour later, when he heard the people in the herds' village shouting dogs and shouting together, he knew in his heart that he had corpses entered the village. He rode a horse and flew back to his hometown. Those tents that had neither housing nor low doors were prevented were attacked by corpses. The ending was imagined!

Example 2: Babu, the head of Sewu Township, Anduo County, went to the Nacang tribe to steal horses and encountered an old site abandoned by a herdsman. The windshield wall that was more than one meter high in the tent was intact, which made people know at a glance that the household had just moved. He wanted to go in to take a break, but just took a step further and found a brand new seven-color lace sheepskin robe in the southeast corner of the earth and stone. The one lying in the robe was clearly a woman. When he looked closely, the head of the female corpse had already raised her head and looked at him with her eyes open. Needless to say, she was abandoned and raised by the woman. Fortunately, she discovered it in time to avoid a sudden disaster.

Example 3: There is a shepherd named Wuerba in my tribe (now Nima County). After he died, he sent his body to the wild burial in the afternoon when he was buried, a crow fell down to peck. As soon as he pecked a few times, the zombie suddenly got up and caught the crow and ran away. So he left the saying "Wuerba's corpse caught birds" in the tribe.

Example 4: There is a shepherd named Merta in Sima Township, Ando County. His female slave lives under the throne of Galbu Mountain. Because she is poor, she has never even had a name. People use the name of the mountain where she lives as Galbu Old Lady.

One day in early spring of 1967, Mrs. Galbu finally ended her miserable life and lay quietly in the ragged tent that could only accommodate her. Although this place is in the heart of the county and in different remote areas, she can send the road to the residence of life by the crisp sound of the Dharma ringtone, but because she is single, she cannot enjoy the final treatment she deserves in life. A monk from Andoma Temple and the master of the sky burial master, Darlo, went to chant scriptures for her out of compassion and sent her to the sky burial.

They came to her. The poor old lady had half her face exposed outside the collar, her eyes were closed tightly, her dry mouth was half a cracked mouth, and her thin body occupied all the space in the tent. She had no choice but to borrow a corner of the shepherd's house to recite the scriptures. While chanting the scriptures, the monk asked the Tianzang Master to come over and see the old lady's body. When the day's burial master went over to look at the old lady's body, he found that the old lady's head was exposed outside the collar. When he went to see the second time, the old lady had already opened her eyes and sat up slanted. Her skin was dark, and the blood vessels on both sides of her nose were swelling to the thickness of her fingers.
