9. Self-immolation
86_86322When I was about to reach the foot of the mountain, I fell unconscious, and I was rescued by the villagers who were anxiously waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and I was moved back to the Tianyi Hall by the villagers, along with the piece of Tianyi wood.
I was awake for a moment, and I vividly remember that the village chief had asked me eagerly if I had found the young men who had gone up the mountain. I shook my head and muttered, "Dead, all dead." Then I heard a cry of grief around me. It didn't take long for me to pass out, and this time, I slept in a daze for a week.
When I woke up, the calm Yang Gu had once again had a nightmare event.
First of all, at the voting meeting, several clan elders who held their identities and bargained with the survey team died, and no one knew how they died. There was no sign before death, and the people around him couldn't see the slightest difference.
Whoever said it believed that their bodies were covered with scars, their skin was scratched and rotten, the flesh and blood were hidden in the fingernails, and the murder weapon of the murderer turned out to be the fingernails of the killed. These clan elders were all caught alive by their own nails.
In addition to the death of the old man, the village was shrouded in an extremely strange atmosphere, there were always villagers who heard the knock on the door in the middle of the night, and opened the door to see, but the door was empty and empty. The children always pointed out the window and said that some people were more villagers, and they were scared crazy, and the reason for being scared crazy is unknown!
This happened only after the arrival of the survey team in Beijing, and people were biased towards the theory of ghosts and gods, but some people pointed the finger at the survey team, saying that it was all made by the survey team.
When there is nowhere to vent one's anger, one needs a scapegoat with a black cauldron. A riot began, without sufficient evidence, and the spearhead was directed at the survey team.
I came back from Wanshou Mountain and was sick in bed for seven days. It was seven days before I could get out of bed and walk around. When I walked out of the village, I found that the villagers and the survey team were caught in a strange stalemate that was silent.
The people of the survey team also died, and there were only four people left, Professor Yang, Yang Dawu, Xiao Ning, and a survey team member named Luo Hu
When I came to the courtyard where the survey team lived, I found several widows of dead uncles carrying coffins, slumped in linen and filial piety, and wept bitterly, and Dawu, who had gone out of Yanggu, took on the role of a scapegoat who was preached by the villagers. Yang Dade was also there, perhaps worried about his younger brother, protecting Dawu.
The corridor of the courtyard was filled with several corpses covered with white cloths, and Luo Hu, a member of the survey team, wore a suit and made it on the steps of the corridor, looking at the surging villagers with a frightened expression.
A weak figure in the corner wearing a quilt caught my attention, it was Xiao Ning, because there were too many people in front, I could only see Xiao Ning's figure, holding his knees, sitting in the room with a blank expression.
"Call that old man out of the village, the dead uncle in the village, you must pay for it."
"If it weren't for your iron determination to dig Wanshou Mountain and anger the mountain god, so many people would not have died in the village, and if you don't give an explanation, we won't leave."
"Tell the old man to get out, get out of ......" The villagers became more and more angry, and they were about to rush inside.
"We are also dead, these are the elites in the research institute, they are all my robes, they are dead, am I happy, is this situation today what I want to see?" Yang Dawu looked a little crazy under the bombardment of so many people.
"You don't want to see it, then why are you digging mountains again, now that people are dead, you bastards don't want to lose money." A woman wearing a linen belt and wearing plain clothes grabbed Yang Dawu, so everyone began to pull, Yang Dade protected Yang Dawu, and tried his best to explain to the villagers, but at this time, who would listen to his explanation.
I feel a little gloomy in my heart, this farce contains the anger of the villagers, but it is more mixed with people's selfishness, and there are also some unreasonable people who are provoked by those widows, in the noise, I don't see anyone who deliberately wants to find out the key to solving the problem, many people open their mouths, they can't do without a word of money.
Just as everyone began to pull, a sharp scream came from the house, the scream was so high that it was an eerie decibel level, like an owl in the night, and then a man in a white suit rushed out of the house.
The man who rushed out was Professor Yang named Peter, and when everyone saw Professor Yang come out, they all rushed up one after another.
Looking at his crazy appearance, a trace of steam emanated from his skin, and his arms were red, and I hurriedly yelled at the crowd: "Don't get close, get out of him." ”
It was late, and when the villagers approached Professor Yang, a fiery breath rose from Professor Yang's body, and a little fire burned, spreading rapidly on Professor Yang's body, and in broad daylight, a fire man was born under everyone's noses.
In the firelight, I saw Professor Yang's face full of panic and shock, his eyes wide open, and he was gradually engulfed by the fiery snake. Because they were so close, several villagers were all touched by the raging fire. All of a sudden, people howled all over the ground, and the smoke of fire rose to the sky.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, put out the fire...... the villagers began to put out the fire with buckets, and after more than half an hour of rioting, the fire was finally extinguished.
There were two charred corpses lying on the ground, the two villagers who rushed to the front, the closest to Professor Yang, and Professor Yang should have turned to ashes, leaving only a puddle of cigarette ash on the ground that still burned out of paper money.
In contrast to the previous anger, most of the villagers fell silent.
"Let's all go back, don't you see that even the professor is dead? I know it's hard for you to feel bad when your loved one dies, but there's no need for you to make it worse at this time. I slowly walked in front of the crowd.
Because he was angry, the tone of his speech was also a little cold. The deliberate people did not dare to make trouble, and then everyone worked together to clean up the yard, and the relatives of the deceased howled and carried the charred corpses out.
People looked back at the cottage with awe in their eyes.
As soon as everyone walked out of the yard with their front feet, Yang Dade was so angry that he pushed Dawu and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago that Wanshou Mountain is our Yang Gu's ancestral mountain, and there are mountain gods living in it, and the land of the ancestral mountain can't be dug up. ”
"What mountain god, would the mountain god be so stingy and strangle the lives of ordinary people at will?" Yang Dawu's expression was also very angry.
"You think now is the time for a fight?" I glanced at them and walked straight to Xiao Ning, who was sitting on the stone steps.
Xiao Ning was draped in a big quilt, cowering beside the pillar, leaning against the pillar to half-cover his body, taking the pillar as a dependence, I walked up to him and wanted to touch his head, but he was afraid to move back twice.
Xiao Ning's face was already very white, and the bangs in the middle parted to both sides. At this time, a bloodless pale appeared on his fair face, and his bangs split into his bare forehead, covered with dense drops of sweat.
I wiped my hand on his forehead, and the sweat that I wiped off made my hand feel cold. Not only that, Xiao Ning's arms and face were cold.
This looks a bit like "taking off the sun". The term deyang is not a loss of soul, but refers to "the weakness of the human body after the explosion of its physical potential." "There is an energy in ordinary people, and this energy is universal and Taoist priests call them yang energy.
I vaguely remember the story of a mother who was downstairs drying her clothes when she saw her child fall down to the eighth floor, and at the last moment, the mother ran from 20 meters away, fell to the ground and hugged the falling child with her body.
Someone has studied this problem, and in order to catch a child falling from about 30 meters from the eighth floor, the mother from 20 meters away has to run at a speed of about 9 meters per second. In the perception of ordinary people, this is almost impossible, but man is an animal that makes it impossible to become possible.
It is said that after saving the child, the mother died of heart failure without any harm. This is the weakness of the human body after the explosion of potential.
For example, when I meet a ghost, I am so scared that I scream with all my strength. At this time, the weaker side in the eyes of ordinary people must be the one who encounters the ghost, and maybe the person will be killed by the ghost.
But in fact, this terrifying scream can even kill a ghost. There is yang energy in the human body, and the medium of guò saliva and haqi is emitted, and I believe everyone has heard that spitting can break the ghost and hit the wall, and this rumor comes from this principle.
Xiao Ning's appearance at the moment, one of the symptoms is to evacuate the yang energy on his body and guide zhì off yang, according to this development imagination, he must have encountered a very terrifying thing, when the two met, Xiao Ning burst out with a very terrifying scream, draining the yang energy on the body, and the whole body was cold.
Looking at her eyes again, she was as depressed as a patient with soul loss, obviously overly frightened.
Slowly, I raised my head and asked Yang Dawu, "Dawu, do you know what happened to Xiao Ning before?" ”
Dawu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Last night, I fell asleep in the house, and then I heard a scream, and when I came out to look, I saw Xiao Ning squatting in the corridor, shaking his head very frightened, gritting his teeth and saying no, don't." ”
"I ran up and asked her what she didn't want, and she didn't answer, just repeated the words no, and this quilt, or did I see that she was cold, and took it out and covered her?" As he spoke, Dawu took two steps forward.
And at this time, Xiao Ning, who had been curling up, suddenly let out a scream in the bottom of his scream: "Don't, don't come over." Immediately afterward, he passed out
