Chapter 75: The Grave Guard
"Don't chase me, don't chase me!" Lao Qin panicked in his heart, his thinking was confused, and the only remaining bit of calm was completely lost. turned around and ran, panicked, and the soles of his feet suddenly stepped into the air, which stimulated his whole body into a cold sweat, as if his body was poured with ice water.
"Ahh
Lao Qin's flashlight hit the ground, making the sound of metal hitting the stone surface, and because the flashlight fell heavily to the hard ground, the bearing switch was turned off, and the light of the only light source flashlight went out.
Lao Qin felt that he was in the air, his feet did not touch the ground, and his hands could not reach anything, as if he was doing a free fall movement. Lao Qin touched his head, touched his face, instantly felt that he was helpless, and at the last moment of death, he shouted vigorously: "Ah-"
"What are you calling?"
"Who's who, who's talking in my ear?"
"Ji Xiu!"
"Teacher Ji Xiu!" Lao Qin was so moved that tears flowed out, and when he heard the name Ji Xiu, the panic in his heart at least calmed down, and Lao Qin hurriedly said: "Look at me so scared, I can't even recognize your voice." ”
Lao Qin reached out to touch Ji Xiu at this time, and found that he had touched a strange face, as if he was touching wood, but the touch of his hand could distinguish the facial features.
What is this? This is the nose, the mouth is underneath, the two above are the eyes, and the next one is the ears. Why does it look like touching the wood, and there are rough textures, is this Ji Xiu?
Lao Qin's heart became complicated, he remembered that in the human hair forest before, the ghost fox could transform into various human forms, and now Ji Xiu standing in front of him could also be fake?
When a person is in complete darkness, his sense of security will be minimized, he will be prone to doubt everything, and even inexplicably feel that there is even something special behind him. In this completely dark environment, doubts will be greatly increased, and the most thirsty thing in the heart is light.
"Ouch-" Lao Qin felt his buttocks hurt, as if he had been thrown to the ground.
At this time, Lao Qin saw the light, it was the light of his flashlight, and at the same moment when the light appeared, a grimace appeared out of thin air.
"My mother!" Lao Qin exclaimed with a trembling voice.
"It's not good, your voice can easily alarm them. The grimace is gone, and now it is Ji Xiu's face that appears.
"Huh?" Lao Qin stretched his neck, this is because he didn't dare to get close to Ji Xiu, but he wanted to get closer to see if it was Ji Xiu.
"I'm just away for a while, and you two are in a mess. Ji Xiu threw the flashlight at Lao Qin, reached out and grabbed it from behind him, and lifted Igu over.
Lao Qin calmed down at this time, and when he stood up, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "There are ghosts up there." ”
Ji Xiu looked up and looked up, Lao Qin also shone the light of the flashlight on it, the same stone chamber structure, the difference between the top and bottom was as high as more than nine meters, and a square opening could be seen on the ceiling, and Igu and Lao Qin fell from that opening one after another.
Ji Xiu jumped on the spot, her body soared into the sky, and it seemed that she was jumping lightly silently, but she jumped out of a height of nine meters. Ji Xiu raised his hands high, climbed on the edge of the opening, the whole person was hanging on the ceiling, bending his arms, just doing pull-ups, Ji Xiu's head poked into the dark space.
"Wow!" Ji Xiu suddenly shouted.
Lao Qin was nervous for a while, and was frightened by Ji Xiu's scream, and his steps were flustered, and he looked very flustered. Igu was still distracted, holding the camera in both hands.
"Lao Qin, I remember that there is a lot of garbage here, why are they all gone. Ji Xiu turned her head to look down and said.
The garbage that Ji Xiu said refers to the previous sundries, as soon as he heard this, Lao Qin was a little sad at first, and suddenly became angry again, it was a big treasure, gold and silver treasures everywhere, but they were all eaten by the ghost fox.
"Isn't there anything that moves on it?" asked Lao Qin.
"Well...... Ji Xiu said after looking at it several more times, "No, there is not even a piece of garbage." Ji Xiu let go of his hand after speaking, and fell from above, and his feet landed on the ground with only a slight sound.
Lao Qin's flashlight kept shining on the opening above, but after Ji Xiu jumped down, Lao Qin began to doubt himself, he hadn't seen much before, almost only saw a black shadow, and the black shadow couldn't distinguish anything, but he was frightened by such a shadow and ran away.
Lao Qin shook his head, was he too nervous before, and told himself in his heart to be calm, to relax, and only after a long breath did he keep up with Ji Xiu.
"Teacher Ji Xiu, where are we going?" asked Lao Qin after following Ji Xiu.
"In-depth, of course. ”
"What's in there?"
"This is the tomb, and of course there are dead people in it. ”
As soon as he heard these two words, the hair on Lao Qin's whole body stood up, Lao Qin followed Ji Xiu right behind him, and saw a strange mask hanging on Ji Xiu's waist, Lao Qin came in with Ji Xiu, so he was sure that this mask was found by Ji Xiu in this mausoleum.
"I suspect it's an ancient building, and it's at least a few hundred years old. When Lao Qin spoke, the strength of holding the flashlight was increasing, for fear that the flashlight would be taken off again.
"Well, yes, I'm sure this is an ancient building, and at least a thousand-year-old tomb. Ji Xiu said.
Lao Qin stared at the mask that Ji Xiu hung on his waist and said, "Teacher Ji Xiu, how did you get this mask?" ”
Ji Xiu stopped, Lao Qin and Igu also stopped, Ji Xiu turned around and said, "I said...... Don't always shine your flashlight on me, don't you know if you shine it on the left and right? ”
Lao Qin realized that he was a little embarrassed at this time, and he said in his heart: I don't use a flashlight to shine on you, who knows that you suddenly don't know where to run.
When Lao Qin turned the flashlight to the side, he saw a lot of wooden frames, and there were still a lot of dried corpses hanging on the wooden frames, which were the kind of dried corpses whose skin was blackened and had tightly wrapped the bones, but the bones had not yet been exposed.
Ji Xiu followed Lao Qin's flashlight and walked over, and Igu followed behind Ji Xiu with the camera.
Ji Xiu pointed to the dry corpse and said: "This is called a tomb corpse, it is generally called a tomb corpse, to put it simply, it is used to guard the tomb." ”
Lao Qin walked over and saw several dried corpses in front of him, the eyes of the dried corpses were hollow, but the facial muscles were obvious and vivid, it could be seen that these people must have faced a lot of torture before their deaths, and their facial features were distorted very hideously.
Lao Qin understood, Ji Xiu only concluded that this was a grave when he saw these tomb guards, Lao Qin said: "What is the use of these dried corpses, they can't move, how can they be used to guard the tomb and scare children?"
At this time, Ji Xiu turned around and left, and said as he walked: "Of course the failed product won't move, take a closer look, there are several shelves that are empty." ”
Reminded by Ji Xiuyi, Lao Qin hurriedly turned the flashlight, and sure enough, he soon found that there were several wooden frames at intervals that were empty, unlike other wooden frames with dried corpses, Lao Qin walked to the nearest wooden frame, and observed through the flashlight, and found that there were many nail scratches on the wooden frame.
Lao Qin took a big breath, feeling that all he was inhaling was cold air, so he quickly took a step and ran, running in the direction of Ji Xiu.
"This ...... These...... These dried corpses will really ...... It's going to move......"
Ji Xiu stopped again and said to Igu, "Come with me, the camera will follow me." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, now I would like to introduce to you what it means to guard the grave. Come on, pull the camera over. ”
Igu's camera begins with a dim floor, then the camera slowly lifts up, first to one foot of the wooden frame, and then slowly rises along the foot of the wooden frame, and before it comes into view is the corpse of a human being.
This corpse is a dehydrated dried corpse, the camera first pats the soles of the dried corpse, the gap between the toes of the five feet is large, the skin is black, and there are many darker corpse spots all over the skin, from the soles of the feet to the neck, from the calf to the thigh, at first glance, the calf is as thick as the thigh, you can see the crotch of the pelvic bone, the waist that can be broken with a pinch, the black skin is spread on the ribs, and the mouth is twisted and the expression is vivid and hideous.
Igu's camera freezes on the head of the dried corpse, and Ji Xiu stretches out a finger into the dried corpse's mouth and makes several circles in the mouth. Ji Xiu said: "There are no teeth in the mouth. ”
"Okay, everyone already knows, as I said before, this is called a tomb guard corpse, as the name suggests, it is a corpse used to guard the tomb. Ji Xiu was playing with the dried corpse in front of the camera, while analyzing.
"In fact, the corpse can not only be used to guard the tomb, but the corpse can do too much, which must be explained from the Tao, and the only one who can do all this is naturally the Tao. ”
"Man is the spirit of heaven and earth, the length of all things, many ordinary people do not realize how spiritual they are, in fact, in the Tao, people are one of the treasures of heaven and earth. ”
"That's right, you heard it right, from birth to growth, from infancy to old age, the preciousness of human beings is no worse than the natural materials in the mountains and dangerous mountains, nor is it weaker than the treasures in the deep sea and ocean. In Taoism, man is positioned at the highest point of nature, and at the same time, man is considered to be a very precious material. ”
"Okay, the foreshadowing is complete, and the next thing is to analyze the details of the tomb guarding corpse. ”
"Since ancient times, the use of human body as a material has never stopped, but this behavior is so cruel that it has never appeared in the official history, but everyone in the world knows it. A Taoist with a high level of cultivation can keep his soul alive and condense without dying after death, but ordinary people can't, and the soul of ordinary people dissipates after death, and the human body becomes a corpse, completely losing spirituality. ”
"How to preserve the spirituality of the human body has been a matter that many Taoists have wanted to break their heads since ancient times, and they found that ordinary people who died the most miserable and unjust died are more likely to retain their spirituality than ordinary people who died normally. ”
"In other words, ordinary people who are tortured to death may condense their souls after death and not disperse, which can be regarded as a breakthrough in the history of Taoism. In the future, there will be more breakthroughs, such as if a person has experienced a variety of emotions in a short period of time before death, it will become what I call the grave guard. ”
"The method is very simple, first of all, you need to prepare materials, that is, people, a large number of captive people, depending on the status of the ruler, the king of a country can captivate people in a city, and the princes of a feudal town can captive people in a village. ”
"Captivity is to feed these people with good food and drink, to make sure they don't go hungry when hunger comes, to ensure that they have a house to live in when the flood comes, to make sure they can survive when the plague comes, in short, to love the people like children, and to pour a lot of money to make the captive people love the ruling class. ”
"When the rulers of the ruling class die, these captives go to mourn, which is mourning. Then self-directed and self-acting let everyone be trapped in the grave, let everyone think that they are dead, and then be trapped for a few days, and consume their will, this is sorrow. Then the eldest son opened the grave and rescued everyone, comforted everyone, and brought wine and food to sing and dance, which is joy. When the banquet is halfway through, kill all the children and leave the parents behind, this is anger. ”
"Finally, there is joy, bliss. These angry parents who have lost their children are tied to wooden frames and treated with torture that does not damage the flesh but can feel the greatest pain. For example, acupuncture points, tooth extraction and nail extraction, bamboo sticking into the fingers, gouging out the eyeballs, palace punishment, etc. ”
When Lao Qin heard this, his mouth opened wide, expressing disbelief.
Ji Xiu tapped the forehead of the dried corpse with his finger and said, "Because of the differences in the human body, not all of them can be made into tomb guards, and it is estimated that only ten out of a hundred people can become tomb guards. ”
