Two huge heads rolled around on the table until they knocked over the ceramic teacup.

Chu Yin was suddenly startled, and Shi Qi's eyelids jumped,

Zhu Xuemin didn't panic at all, took out the toolbox from the backpack bar, sat on the seat and calmly put on a mask and rubber gloves for himself.

Use metal tweezers to pluck the two severed heads and examine them carefully.

A slightly smaller head, with the face of an old man,

Its skin is sickly white, and its eyes are lifeless.

There is no hair or eyebrows, not even traces of hair in the pores of the skin,

Eight pairs of long, narrow fangs protruding from his lips testify to his inhuman identity.

And the slightly larger head is a bit like the head of an ordinary praying mantis,

The whole is translucent green, and the shape is an inverted triangle,

It has two tentacles, two large, transparent compound eyes, and strangely shaped chewing mouthparts.

On the broken surface of the neck, there is still green juice remaining.

Hatsuyin approached the table, endured disgust, and asked curiously, "These are the other two things?" ”

"That's right."

Xun Zi'an nodded and said: "I took the dragon ruler and slowly searched it from place to place, and only moved it after confirming that it was correct." ”

According to the previous divination results, Zhu Xuemin believes that the three elements that open the third layer of Shengnanwang's dream are in three locations: Luzhou, Fengzhou, and Qizhou.

Therefore, the dragon ruler was made,

Let Xun Zi'an take it to Fengzhou and Qizhou to look for abnormal elements.

"These two monsters are strange, and their strength is obviously not very strong, but they always give me a weird feeling,"

Xun Zi'an frowned and told his companions what he had seen.

One night a few months ago, the youngest son of a rural manor owner in Fengzhou tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, always feeling that there was something in the darkness outside.

In the middle of the night, I got up and looked out of the window, only to see an old man in white appear in the courtyard, expressionless, motionless, staring at the house.

The child was so young that he was too frightened to speak,

Seeing the old man in white tiptoe to the ground, "moving" towards the house,

Gently push open the door,

Stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of the servant girl who usually took care of the child, but now she was asleep,

Gnaw off the head, disembowel, and then turn to look at the child.

At last the child screamed,

When the adults in the courtyard arrived, they saw a room full of blood and frightened children sitting in a pool of blood.

After Wu Dewei's cavalry arrived, he didn't find any demonic breath, and after the search was fruitless, he had to seal off the manor and let the family move away.

Xun Zi'an used the dragon ruler to find the location of the manor, and after hearing the story from others, he took advantage of the night to sneak into the manor alone.

took out a dead pig corpse from the backpack pen, processed it with the props of the Special Affairs Bureau, disguised it as a living person, and placed it in another room.

Sure enough, the old man in white appeared in the courtyard again, he didn't notice Xun Zi'an hiding in the closet, and floated straight to the dead pig, holding the corpse and gnawing it indiscriminately.

As a result, he was attacked by Xun Zi'an from behind, cut off his limbs, pasted with talisman paper, and prepared to take it back to Chenzhou City for Zhu Xuemin to identify.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, the neck of the old man in white would automatically break and he lost his life.

"It's the same with this praying mantis monster in Qizhou."

Xun Zi'an said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law of the Fan family in a certain village gave birth to a child,

After three days and three nights of dystocia, the family was anxious and sleepy, so they had to ask the aunt and sister-in-law of the neighbor next door to keep watch for the night.

The sister-in-law next door readily agreed,

It's just that the neighbor Sun's husband is out of the house, and the young son at home is still young, so he doesn't worry about letting the child stay at home alone, so he lets the young son stay in the outhouse during the vigil.

The boy loved to read the most, and he came here to prepare for the long night.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the mother-in-law of the Fan family got up early to visit the delivery room, but saw that there was a dead silence in the room, and the six women next door and the mother were all dead of anger, without any wounds on their bodies.

The little child sat in the outhouse, holding a book in his right hand, and the left half of his body was charred. ”

He paused for a moment and said slowly: "When I arrived in Qizhou, I heard that there was also a woman in the next village of this village who was about to give birth, and she also had a difficult birth for two days and two nights.

So he went to the village and squatted outside, only to squat down on this one-man tall praying mantis.

It also doesn't have any demonic breath,

Also when he was taken out of the village, he inexplicably broke his neck. ”

“...”

Zhu Xuemin listened to Xun Zi'an's narration quietly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said indifferently: "I have never seen these two types of monsters in the document library of the different society.

There is no information collected in this world.

And judging from the results of the psychics, they are not demons. ”

"Not a demon?"

Hatsuyin was stunned, "What's that?" ”

"Monk,"

Zhu Xuemin said indifferently: "Or it used to be a part of the monks." ”

？！

Looking at the stunned expressions of his companions, Zhu Xuemin said solemnly: "People die like life, their feet are not green and evil, their eyes are not destroyed, their hair is taken off, and they are all autopsies."

During the day, I went to the upper solution, and in the middle of the night, I went to the lower solution, and I said to the underground master of the dawn and twilight.

Taiyi guards the corpse, the three souls camp bones, the seven spirits guard the flesh, the fetal spirit records the qi, and the so-called Taiyin refining form.

The meaning of this sentence is roughly that the body of a person wants to be alive after death, the skin on the feet does not rot and turns blue, the eyes do not break, and the hair falls out, which is called autopsy.

Dying during the day is the upper solution, dying in the middle of the night is the lower solution, and dying early in the morning and evening is the underground master.

And if Taiyi guards the corpse, the three souls guard the bones, the seven spirits guard the body, and the fetal spirit absorbs the aura, this is the Taiyin refining form. ”

Taoism refers to the act of abandoning the body after attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven, or leaving no body or pretending to be an object (such as clothes and swords), as autopsy.

The principle of Taiyin refining form is similar to that of autopsy immortals,

It was the aging monk who buried his body in the ground when his life was about to end.

Let Taiyi guard the corpse, the three souls camp bones, so that the flesh will continue to grow while rotting,

until the internal organs are completely replaced,

The body is reborn and renewed,

Then return the primordial spirit to its place and resurrect itself from the filthy soil.

"Although the Taiyin refining method can allow the monk to break through and stand up, in order to peek into the realm of immortals,

However, the conditions of use are extremely harsh, and the monks are ignorant of the outside world during the whole process, and have no ability to resist, and once they are disturbed, they will be doomed.

Only those aging and poor monks who are about to reach the end of their lives and have no hope of becoming immortals will take risks and try to refine the form of Taiyin. ”

Zhu Xuemin pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Of course, the aging and poverty here are relative.

A monk who is qualified and capable of refining the Taiyin form is only a few steps away from ascending to the Tribulation.

In the mortal world, it is already a powerful existence sitting alone in the clouds overlooking the small people, and it can only be produced in hundreds of years.

The last recorded Taiyin refiner was a certain elder of Longhu Mountain three hundred years ago. ”
