Grave robbers hear the rooster crowing or the candles go out, they rush to run away: Fear of meeting the enemy!

The phenomena that frighten the grave robbers are two of the principles of their lifelong practice. What is that?

2 strange principles of religion

In the ancient Chinese concept, yin and yang are two different worlds, and each world operates in a different way. They believe that there are many things and phenomena that represent yin and yang. For example, after the rooster crows, the sun rises, the sky shines, this phenomenon belongs to "yang". When the sun descends the mountain to give way to darkness, it is called a phenomenon of the "yin" world.

These yin and yang phenomena have appeared in many legends and stories about ancient tomb robbers. Accordingly, these practitioners have 2 principles to remember when carrying out grave robberies: Once they hear the rooster crowing or the candles are lit, they must immediately leave the area.

According to ancient legends, the sound of the rooster crowed was a useful "compass" that "showed" the grave robbers when to act. Even though the grave robbers had to find valuable graves, when they heard the rooster crowing, they were forced to retreat. If you try to enter the grave area, you will encounter bad things.

Along with that, grave thieves also have another way to determine the possibility of theft at the chosen grave. That is to bring a candle and place it in the southeast of the secret room containing the coffin. Then, proceed to light the light, if the light goes out, you must leave immediately . In the old myths, this practice of the grave robbers was to probe if the area of ​​operation was haunted.

However, these are all fabricated stories. The above two principles of grave robbers are real. However, the reason for the grave robbers to act like this is not to check if there are ghosts or not, but to protect themselves. These principles of grave robbers have been clearly explained by scientists.

Not for ghosts or demons, but for yourself

In fact, the two principles above of grave robbers were formed from the old Chinese habit of building houses and graves. Accordingly, the ancient Chinese always strictly followed the construction rules, designed according to the principles of feng shui such as based on the topography of mountains and rivers, yin and yang bagua.

Especially in the design of the secret chambers containing coffins will often be built so that the air can circulate in and out in the Southeast direction. Because according to the hexagram of Cost (1 hexagram in the Ba Quai), this is the direction with good feng shui.

There are no ghosts, grave robbers practice on the principle of protecting themselves!

The way grave robbers bring candles to burn when going on a mission is closely related to the ancient Chinese custom of building this grave. As mentioned above, because of that design rule, the southeast corner of the coffin will form a convection current with the air flow outside.

Lighting a candle in the southeast direction is a way for grave robbers to check the air content in the secret room containing the coffin . If the fire on the candle goes out, it means that the air inside is very thin and small, so you need to leave immediately. If they still deliberately stay, the people inside that secret room will die from lack of oxygen.

Scientists have explained the principle of listening to the rooster crow to withdraw from the grave robbers as follows: Very simply, grave robbers are inherently not glorious, so once discovered and caught, they will was escorted to the government, even beaten to death.

Therefore, grave robbers can only practice when it is dark, absolutely cannot practice during the day. The crowing of the rooster is a sign that it is morning. Therefore, even if the theft has not been completed, you must leave immediately to avoid being caught.

Through this, it can be seen that the two principles of "lighting a candle" and "listening to the rooster crow" of grave robbers when practicing are simply for the sake of protecting themselves, not related to ghost stories. evil.
