Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 2 The so-called corpse
Subsequently, Qiu Yan gave me a general explanation of her recent situation:
After Qiu Yan's father died, the Qiu family's estate was temporarily taken over by her uncle, because Qiu Yan's uncle also suffered from the curse, so the family decided to set up a special foundation to fund Qiu Yan to find a cure for the curse.
Of course, Qiu Yan is naturally the chairman of the foundation, first, she can get some experience in business management, and second, the special fund is dedicated to Qiu Yan herself, so that the foundation's money can be spent on the cutting edge.
Xiang Wei's company is still funded by the Qiu family, Qiu Yan said that in order to allow Xiang Wei to better help herself, the Qiu family bought 40 percent of the shares in Xiang Wei Company, and is now the majority shareholder of Xiang Wei Company, and the Qiu family has also transferred several management personnel to settle in Xiang Wei's company to help him take care of it.
Speaking of which, I glanced at Xiang Wei, who was concentrating on driving at this moment, and didn't seem to hear my conversation with Qiu Yan, but I saw his eyebrows and eyes in the rearview mirror and seemed to be a little displeased.
Actually, the reason why I looked at Xiang Wei was because I didn't understand it.
Although Qiu Yan said it calmly, in my opinion, Xiang Wei should be very reluctant to invest in Xiang Wei's company.
The reason is very simple, if I were Xiang Wei, it would be impossible for me to be willing to live under the eaves of the Qiu family for the rest of my life, besides, if Xiang Wei is interested in Qiu Yan, he will want to prove himself more, which is evidenced by Xiang Wei's creation of his own company immediately after graduating from university.
I suspect that it may be that Xiang Wei can't say no to his benefactor, and the Qiu family takes it for granted that it is a help to Xiang Wei, and neither side has explained their intentions well, which led to this result.
Thinking of this, I can't help but worry, this estrangement, judging from Xiang Wei's appearance, he doesn't plan to unravel, so will this estrangement get bigger and bigger, and eventually lead to the breakup between Xiang Wei and Qiu Yan?
Of course, I'm not a party, and it's not my turn to mediate this kind of thing.
During this period, Qiu Yan said a lot, she said that this time the manpower was drawn from her own company, so that there would be no situation of the last pick, and she also said that she planned to arrange a formal position for me in the company, so that no matter whether the action went smoothly or not, I could get paid normally, and after the action, if I wanted, I could also stay in Qiu's company to work.
Qiu Yan said very casually, but there was no room for me to refuse, I thought to myself, although this girl has a feminine demeanor, she is too arbitrary!
However, my purpose is not the Qiu family's work, let alone the remuneration that Qiu Yan said, my purpose is to use Qiu Yan's resources to solve the mystery of the tortoise shell, and by the way, help Qiu Yan find a way to solve the curse, so I didn't refuse immediately.
I thought that Qiu Yan would take me to the hotel to arrange accommodation for me, but who knew that Xiang Wei drove us to a villa community, I asked Qiu Yan where this was, Qiu Yan smiled and said:
"My uncle wants to meet you!"
I was still in a daze in the back seat of the car, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei had already gotten out of the car, Qiu Yan opened the car door for me, bowed down and spread her hands out, and said with a smile:
"Please!"
After getting off the bus, I was greeted by a three-storey detached villa with a front garden, a garage, a small courtyard, and a gate sandwiched between two huge European-style stone pillars through the path in the middle of the garden.
To be honest, people are ashamed, and if I just thought it didn't matter if I was in an office building and saw friends in public, then I was really ashamed to stand in front of this private villa.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yan saw that I was hesitant, so she asked softly.
"Hehe, if you say it earlier, I'll dress decently."
Qiu Yan smiled and said:
"Do you think my uncle, like the security guard, also judges people by his appearance?"
As she spoke, Qiu Yan took a step forward, walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, this posture I have seen on RTHK TV, this woman is either a housekeeper or a nanny.
"Sister Chen, is my uncle asleep?" Qiu Yan asked politely.
"No, he's in the study, I'll call him."
"Thank you, Sister Chen."
Then, Sister Chen turned around and entered the house, and Xiang Wei and I also walked in behind Qiu Yan.
There were many people in the house, big and small, men and women, and Qiu Yan introduced that they were all relatives of her uncle.
After getting to know each other, the person named Sister Chen came over and said that Mr. Qiu asked us to go to the study.
Qiu Yan took me and Xiang Wei to the second floor, and then turned into a dim room, as soon as I entered the room, I could smell a strong smell of books, it seems that this study is not used for pretense.
There was an old man sitting in the study, and when he saw us coming in, the old man immediately got up to greet us.
"Uncle!" Qiu Yan saluted politely.
The old man took off his glasses, shook my hand, and said with a calm face:
"Well, he's pretty strong, about the same as I thought."
I was a little surprised, I couldn't speak for a while, this old man was full of wrinkles, his skin was dry, and he was so thin that he was only skinny and bones, if I hadn't heard Qiu Yan call this old man uncle, I might have thought he was Qiu Yan's grandfather.
"Scared by the way I look?" Uncle Qiu Yan saw that I didn't respond for a long time, so he asked.
I quickly shook my head and denied it, but I still couldn't speak, although I had heard Qiu Yan mention the symptoms of the curse before, what I saw with my own eyes was far more exaggerated than I imagined, and I finally understood Xiang Wei's mood now.
Uncle Qiu Yan sat us down and said to me:
The situation of our family, Xiaoyan should have mentioned to you that Qiu Yan's father is two years older than me, that is to say, in two years, I will also end up with Qiu Yan's father.
However, this is not what I am worried about, what I am worried about is the descendants of my Qiu family: Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan's older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, I don't want them to become like me.
This time, I heard Xiaoyan say that she met a descendant of a corpse chaser, and I wanted to see what the legendary corpse chaser could do, and how could he help my Qiu family find a way to solve the curse. ”
I was even more shocked, if I hadn't met Qiu Yan, I might still think that the corpse chaser was just a legend, when did I become the descendant of the corpse chaser?
I said in my heart that Qiu Yan didn't have a door on her mouth, I didn't even know my own life experience, I was wearing such a high hat, this is just to be able to find the tiger bone spearhead, if I can't find it, then Qiu Yan's uncle must not think that I am a liar!
So I quickly denied it:
"No, no, Mr. Qiu, you misunderstood, I'm not a descendant, I just know a little bit of internal tricks."
"He Zimu, there are no outsiders here, I told my uncle everything in the tomb of Wushan Tusi, you don't need to be so modest." Qiu Yan was still adding firewood to the fire, and I couldn't wait to go over and cover her mouth tightly.
"Well, the corpse chaser was also mentioned by my Qiu family ancestor, it is said that in the past, it was best to rob tombs, and it was best to bring a corpse chaser, because the tombs of the ancients were very strange, and the corpse chaser was the best at dealing with corpses."
Uncle Qiu Yan touched his chin and was talking, when he suddenly looked at me, changed his words, and continued:
"However, this corpse chaser has been a rare commodity since ancient times, and most of the people often encountered on the rivers and lakes are pretending to be some rough and ventilated water magic sticks, the real corpse chaser is hard to find, I don't know what skills you have, little brother?"
Hearing this, I finally understood that Uncle Qiu Yan was worried that I was lying to Qiu Yan, and he was testing me.
But I've never called myself a corpse chaser, and I don't know the skills of a corpse chaser at all, so I can't let Uncle Qiu Yan find a corpse that lifts up the corpse, and then use the "Point Point Dafa" to prove it.
However, since Uncle Qiu Yan has been admitted to me, then I have to show my skills, otherwise, he will really treat me as a charlatan.
I was silent for a moment, racking my brains to recall the contents of the Codex, and then made it up:
"Okay, since Mr. Qiu wants to see and understand, and there are no conditions that can be actually operated here, then I will say it with my mouth.
The profession of corpse chaser was first born in the battle of the Yellow Emperor of Chiyou against Zhuolu, it was rumored that Chiyou was defeated, and he thought of the dead soldiers, so he ordered his generals to return to their hometowns with the corpses of the soldiers, and the generals held the gongs, and the spell sounded down with the beat of the drums, and the corpses rose in columns, and they swam away with the generals.
Of course, these are all myths, as for the true origin of the corpse chaser, no one can say clearly, and the folk legend of the corpse chaser is just a rumor.
What I'm going to talk about today is the ability of the corpse chaser, that is, the method of chasing the corpse.
Many people say that corpse chasers resurrect corpses and then move as freely as the living, which is only half true, corpse chasers can indeed resurrect corpses, but that is only to awaken the body of the dead, the dead are dead, there is no resurrection at all, and it is impossible to move as freely as the living.
As for the specific method, I can only briefly say it, because I don't know much.
The ancients of China, pay attention to the qi, pulse, acupoint said, the so-called qi, the ancients believed that it is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body and maintains the life activities of the human body, "the emperor's internal classic" said: the owner of people, only blood and qi, the qi mentioned here is intangible, intangible, but it is the specific substance on which the human body depends.
The meridians, acupuncture points and qi are complementary to each other, the qi follows the meridians, and the acupoints are located above the meridians, and the acupuncture of Chinese medicine is the culmination of this statement.
What the corpse chaser does is to seal the qi in the human body in a limited time, and then let the corpse make corresponding movements through the operation of various acupoints.
However, there are many acupoints in the human body, only the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures record 160, to the Jin Dynasty Huangfu Mi's "Acupuncture A and B Sutra", the human body's acupoints are as many as 340, which makes the acupuncture points can not be messed up, and the meridians can not be moved by mistake.
As early as thousands of years ago, the corpse chaser through the accumulation of experience, mastered several sets of acupuncture point sequence, these corpse chasers connected these acupuncture points into a line, and later beautified into a symbol, forming the early Chenzhou symbol.
Through thousands of years of accumulation of generations of corpse chasers, in modern times, there are dozens of Chenzhou talismans, and corpse chasers use these Chenzhou talismans to manipulate corpses, of course, these runes have long been lost, if someone can get away with one or two of them, it can also be regarded as the sect of Chinese metaphysics. ”
