Grandpa frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "Xiaolin, I know a little about your body, but this matter may be inextricably related to your brain, if someone is there, things will be much easier to solve." ”

"Who?" I was curious, my grandfather had always been arrogant, and I couldn't imagine anyone he admired so much.

"It's a classmate of mine in college, and it's the person who smells the most like me." Speaking of this, he raised his head, smiled, as if remembering something, and continued after a while: "At the beginning, we were the two most proud disciples of the authoritative professors of Peking Medical College, and we are also known as the two most talented students in the history of the school, but also the two most radical students, we are both best friends and rivals, in the last year of college, we each chose different directions, I mainly study the human body, and he focuses on the human brain. ”

I listened quietly, without making a sound. Grandpa continued: "We are all very interested in the mysteries of the human body, and we all agree that in some unexpected situations, such as lack of oxygen, or the suspension of blood circulation, people will definitely die, but it is only an acute death, it is the death of the brain, no matter how strong the body is, brain death means that the body will no longer give instructions to the body, no longer metabolize, and the body will slowly die. But if a human brain cell can only use a small part of it in a lifetime, if a person only dies due to the death of some of the existing brain cells, but the body is intact, what interesting things can happen if other brain cells can be activated and reconnected to the body? ”

Grandpa smiled when he said this, and his smile was very mysterious.

I blurted out, "Do people come back from the dead?" ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "Theoretically, as long as it is not the case that the body is severely damaged and forced to stop metabolism due to physical reasons. Also, it should not be too long, otherwise the brain will die completely, and only a very small number of brain cells, such as those that control the natural response of the human body, such as walking, will not function until the brain decays." Grandpa paused for a moment and continued: "But because some of the brain cells are dead, it is likely that the resurrected person will lose his memory completely, or partially, depending on the length of time, but it is difficult to activate the brain cells. Xiaolin, have you ever heard of chasing corpses? ”

I paused for a moment before saying: "Chasing corpses, that is a very ancient and mysterious profession, I heard that it is only available in the Xiangxi area." "It is inconceivable to drive out the corpse, let the dead walk back to their hometown on their own, and return to their roots for burial.

Grandpa nodded and said: "We have guessed that the most basic principle of chasing corpses is to activate the brain cells of the dead, through a special spell, the pronunciation frequency of the spell is mostly similar to the brain waves of the dead, through the oscillation of the eardrum, so as to achieve the purpose of resonance with the brain cells, but the activation of the corpse should be a very small part of the brain cells that control the body's natural reactions, so those dead people are still unconscious, can only walk upright, but have no autonomy, they have to keep casting spells, in order to make the dead move, It doesn't work for a long time, it can only be regarded as a temporary resurrection, it is not a real rebirth. ”

I was shocked to hear this appalling bizarre, but it made sense, I came back from the dead in a car accident, and I am afraid that it has a great deal to do with it.

"At that time, we went to Xiangxi to explore the secrets of the strange profession of chasing corpses, but the requirements for selecting apprentices were extremely strict, and we could not meet the requirements, so we had to take some other means. The corpse chaser will ring the gong from afar to tell others to avoid it, and no one dares to peek, which is said to bring bad luck to those who see it, and even the dog will be called back to the owner's house. ”

"There will be some inns on the way to the corpse for the corpse catcher to rest, the kind of inn will be empty at that time, the door is wide open, even the thief will not dare to patronize it, we will go to the morgue inn on the way, and then go in before the corpse catcher arrives, and hide under the red curtain of the table where the candles are placed in the morgue, the local custom is that every morgue inn will have such a table, hehe, what a brilliant idea."

Grandpa smiled proudly when he said this, but I was shocked in my heart, this idea is not unthinkable, but who is so bold and arrogant, they all say that grandpa acts impermanently, and it is true, but I can't imagine that there is another person who is as crazy as him. The thought of being in the same room with so many corpses in the dim candlelight made my hair stand on end and my back shivered.

Grandpa looked calm: "That night we eavesdropped on the mantra's spell, only a few hundred notes, but it was extremely difficult, every syllable was an unexpected tone and rhyme, he and I were both brilliant and had excellent memories, and the two of us couldn't even remember a tenth of it together!" After that, we continued to the next morgue hotel and memorized the rest of the spell in the same way, and it took us more than a month and many times to enter Xiangxi to record the spell in its entirety. There is also a kind of paper charm attached to the corpse, and once when the corpse chaser went out, we stole one, but we couldn't recognize the text on it, but it was probably for auxiliary spells, and the main thing was spells. ”

Grandpa sighed: "The ancestor who created this spell is really an unborn genius, we pride ourselves on being smart, but we are still far from him, the ancient civilization of our country is broad and profound, not to be underestimated!" ”

I was horrified and at the same time eye-opening, the world is really wonderful.

My grandfather's eyes were full of admiration and admiration, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "After we went back, we started to try, and the feudal mentality at that time was still very serious, even the medical university did not have corpses for experiments, and others thought it was disrespectful to the dead." In fact, after death, people will have a stinky skin, and sooner or later they will turn into dust, so there is no respect or disrespect, it is better to make a little contribution to medicine. But many people did not understand this, so he and I had to act on the sly, and every late at night, we would go to a grave mountain on the outskirts of Beiping to see if there were any new graves, and if there were, we would dig them up and study them. ”

My grandfather said it lightly, but I was dumbfounded, not to mention the past, even in today's society, digging people's graves is a great disrespectful act. For the sake of science and the ideals in their hearts, they are really unscrupulous, and they are not afraid of ghosts and gods.

"It was so bizarre that we memorized it for a week before we could barely recite it from beginning to end. But it didn't have the slightest effect, and the requirements for pronunciation or intonation were very strict. Later, we had to go to Xiangxi again and record the pronunciation length, height and height of each syllable in detail, so it took another month.

When we returned to Beiping, we did the experiment again, and the third time we were a little eyebrow-raising, but that time there was an accident, when we had successfully used a spell to make the deceased stand up, and before we could observe, we were discovered, and there was a grave not far away from the burial place of a filial son's father, and the man missed his father in the middle of the night and came up to worship, and found out our secret, and the graves in that area were all his relatives, so he immediately went down the mountain and gathered a large number of people from his family to come up.

If it weren't for the fact that we were college students at Peking Medical College, we would have been beaten to death by those angry people on the spot, and the matter was later published in the Peking Daily, causing an uproar, and we were also severely punished by the school for a major demerit, and then we did not dare to act again for a period of time, and the experiment was over. ”
