Uncle shook his head: "In the three or four thousand years of passing down the secrets of the river patrol people, a large part of them have been lost, and I only know that if the things that are suppressed in the thirteen ghost caves of the Yellow River are used in some kind of evil magic, they can go against the sky, suck the lives of many people, and become immortal human demons." ”

I was even more confused: "Uncle, since he exists in the form of a shadow, he usually can't see it at all, let alone destroy it." ”

The uncle smiled slightly: "Don't be discouraged nephew, everything in the world is arranged, no matter how powerful an existence is, it has its weaknesses, this ...... There must be this "demon" too.

The weakness of the "Devil"?

Since it exists in the form of a shadow, shouldn't it be afraid of light?

Hao Minyuan asked again: "Old Song, there is something else I want to ask you!" ”

The uncle nodded and signaled him not to be verbose, and said directly.

"Our Liu Institute and my colleague Lao Yuan were killed by the "devil", the cause of death! In layman's terms, it is to be scared to death, does this mean that since the "demon" is invisible, it can only cause people's spiritual changes and make people fearful, so as to kill the other party! ”

This time the uncle neither nodded nor shook his head.

"The theory of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times, but in fact, its existence cannot be summarized simply by 'being' or 'nothing', because what is invisible does not necessarily really exist, and what is visible may not really exist."

Uncle's words are quite philosophical, Hao Minyuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and the words changed: "Old Song, what ...... What's going on with those dozens of ancient corpses of young girls? ”

"I think it's an ancient sacrifice!" Uncle thought for a moment before replying, saying the same as I thought.

The use of human sacrifice has been recorded all over the world, including both China and the West.

Among them, the human sacrifice in China, according to the literature, first originated at the end of the primitive society. At that time, people believed in the gods of the heavens, and whenever they encountered something that humans could not answer, they would think that it was the gods of heaven who had sinned against people. In order to appease the wrath of the gods, the ignorant ancients came up with the method of human sacrifice.

This method of sacrifice is not only used to appease the anger of the gods, in ancient times, in order to pray for the blessing of the heavens in the coming year, people would take out tributes during the sacrifice, and people as tributes to the gods, which can better express people's devout belief in the gods.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, floods were rampant in some mountainous areas, and each village would appoint a person of high moral standing in the clan to find suitable children and raise them in the local ancestral hall, and these selected children, their personal freedom was restricted from an early age, eating and drinking were enclosed in the ancestral hall, and when they finally grew to adulthood, the villagers would sacrifice it as a tribute.

These children often end up in a sacrificial ritual on a raft and sinking into the river to "serve" the river god. These children have not yet seen the flowers of this world bloom and fall, experienced the clouds and clouds, and at a young age they have become sacrifices to appease the anger of the river gods, and have become victims of ignorant beliefs in the gods.

Of course, not only to quell floods, but also to drought, locust plagues, solar terms and other events, all of which used human sacrifices. These events are numerous in China's long history.

Human sacrifice has been recorded in almost all dynasties in history, but it has gradually decreased among these dynasties, but it has always been retained regardless of the number of sacrifices.

These feudal remnants were gradually banned until the early years of the Republic of China.

And now China also considers it illegal to sacrifice a living person, which is the act of mutilating the lives of others......

According to the oracle bone inscriptions, there are many ways for the ancients to sacrifice the living.

The more common is the "Mao" sacrifice, which is the shape of a person or livestock that has been hollowed out of their internal organs and hung in half, just like the pigs and sheep hanging on the slaughter line today. In fact, Qiang captives were often killed along with cattle and sheep.

Other forms of sacrifice included the offering of human and animal entrails, blood, and heads. The processing methods of human and livestock include barbecue, boiling soup and stewing, air-drying into bacon, etc., all of which have special oracle bone characters. It's all about processing food, because they're the food that is offered to the gods.

According to custom, the gods also inflicted blessings when they enjoyed the offerings, so after the ceremony, the sacrificers would share the offerings.

This naturally leads to a frightening inference: the people of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially the upper-class slave owners, were most likely cannibals. But it's not just archaeological evidence.

In historical documents, except for Bo Yi Kao, it was made into meat sauce; Another small monarch who had a disagreement with the king, the "Oni Hou", was also made into jerky and given to other kings for food......

Hao Minyuan continued to dig into the roots: "Sacrifice? How can a corpse not decay for thousands of years, and it is still the same as falling asleep...... The point is to be like a corpse...... It's a lot of power! He said this a little incoherently, and it was evident that he was still very frightened at the mention of these things.

"It may be a kind of witchcraft, you must know that the originator of Taoism and spells is witchcraft, but today, many witchcraft have been lost."

I know that things have come to this point, and I shouldn't hide it anymore.

"I know about this, Brother Minyuan, do you know what the red worm that crawled out of the mouth of the female corpse is?"

Hao Minyuan shook his head.

"It's a primitive Gu worm, and it's it that controls the female corpse—it's equivalent to the brain of the female corpse."

Hao Minyuan took a deep breath: "The human body controlled by insects...... And what's going on? Gu worms are really so powerful? ”

"In fact, in the past two months, most of the evil things that have happened are related to Gu worms, last time in the cracks under the Yellow River, I learned some Gu techniques by chance, but they are all theories, I don't know how to operate them!"

Hao Minyuan's gaze staring at me became strange.

"No wonder my brother can make such a miraculous medicine, first curing those women who have gone crazy, and now subduing the ancient female corpse, it turns out that ...... It turns out that my brother knows how to use witchcraft! ”

I was a little embarrassed when he said that.

"Actually, I don't really understand ......"

The conversation of several people was interrupted several times by the sound of cries outside. Book bar

Hao Minyuan stood up suddenly, looked at me with straight eyes, and stared at me for at least ten seconds before he slowly spoke: "Since my brother can concoct a potion to subdue the ancient corpse, shouldn't he also be able to concoct a potional to heal the injured people outside?" ”

Although we were chatting behind closed doors just now, we still heard the impatient complaints of medical staff outside from time to time, and it seemed that they were helpless against the people who were bitten by ancient female corpses.

This is probably really like Lin Zhengying's zombie movie, he was bitten by a zombie, and the general anti-inflammatory drugs are useless, so he has to use Taoism, which is called one thing to one thing.

"This ......"

I hurriedly asked the natal Gu in my belly in the language of thought.

Natal Gu only replied with one sentence: The old way, a hundred trials are unpleasant!

Hao Minyuan took me to the office of the president of Hekou District People's Hospital.

Knocking on the door, a middle-aged man with gold wire glasses opened the door, and in front of the door was a large black desk, an old man with a wrinkled face holding his cheek in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

On the sofa on one side, a man and a woman, looking at their fifties, also had sad faces.

"Captain Hao—no! It should be Director Hao, why are you here! ”

When the wrinkled old man saw us coming in, he immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand, squeezed a smile on his face, and greeted us.

"Dean Gao, are you worried that there are too many wounded!"

Hao Minyuan's style remains the same, and he still asks straight to the point.

Dean Gao smiled bitterly and nodded: "Actually, I'm not afraid, but I've tried a lot of methods, and I've used all the medicines that should be used, but I was stunned that there was no effect at all, so this is ...... That's so sad! ”

He smiled bitterly twice: "That's right! These two are Vice President Zhang and Vice President Liu, and we are discussing what to do! ”

Hao Minyuan pointed at me: "This is Liu Ludong, the rising star of our criminal police team, maybe he can give it a try?" ”

A look of disbelief flashed on Dean Gao's face, he looked me up and down, and said "tsk" twice: "It's really talented and not young!" This brother studied medicine? ”

I shook my head.

"That's ...... What kind of home remedies do you know? ”

I shook my head truthfully.

Hao Minyuan hurriedly played the round: "Okay! Dean Gao, the matter is urgent, let him try! ”

There was still a big clean basin, more than 100 clean bottles and a house that no one could disturb.

When everything was done, I filled more than two dozen bottles myself, and then called in the dean, vice president, who had been standing in the hallway outside the door.

"The antidote, I've already prepared it, you just need to find someone to fill it in the bottle...... Injuries according to the severity of the injury - serious drink five or six sips, and soon it will be fine! ”

Dean Gao nodded stunnedly, and the female vice dean surnamed Zhang behind him didn't seem to believe me, so she put her hand on her glasses, looked at me again, and finally fixed her eyes on the bottle in my hand.

"It's as simple as that? IMHO! This bottle looks like it's just water......"

I know it's because Hao Minyuan is here, and what people say is polite, but the implication is: You won't get an ordinary bottle of water to pretend to be a panacea!

I'm not angry, and I wouldn't believe it if it were me.

"Then let's try it first! It won't hurt anyway. ”

The other vice president was obviously oily, and took the bottle in my hand with a busy smile: "Vice President Zhang is also cautious!" Thank you in advance! ”

He turned around and handed the bottle of water to the man in gold-wire glasses behind him, and whispered to him to find an injured person to try.

Dean Gao also squeezed out a smile on his face, and politely invited us back to the office, handing out cigarettes and making tea.

In fact, I understand, he doesn't believe it very much, this is delaying us, waiting to see the effect!

Less than ten minutes later, the man with gold wire glasses ran in, perhaps because he was too excited! They all forgot to knock on the door.

"Dean Gao, what a ...... What a god! ”

Dean Gao stood up suddenly: "Xiaohu, this medicine has an effect?" ”

There was a noticeable tremor in his voice.

The man with gold wire glasses, who was called "Xiaohu", was even more red, and his mouth was about to burst.

"It's not just effective, it's ...... It's a cure! ”
