Chapter 14: Gone Crazy
Qian Gu, who has become inhuman and ghostly, is like a piece of rotten flesh at the moment, and the facial features on his face have long been distorted and unable to form a human form.
"This ......" I was a little speechless when I saw this scene.
"Haha, don't be surprised, I said, believe me." Seeing that I was speechless, Tan Wen smiled.
"Sorry! I thought ...... just now" Halfway through my speech, I saw Tan Wen booing and signaling that I didn't have to say any more.
"I'm afraid these corpses will have to be burned." Tan Wen spread his hands, looked at me and said.
It's okay for me to let these things stay and harm sentient beings, and it's better to send them to Elysium.
I nodded slightly, and didn't answer, the Qian Gu in front of me was already gone, only a puddle of rotten flesh was scattered on the ground, and the strange thing was that the blood that spilled out seemed to have a spiritual intelligence, and slowly moved towards the corpse.
I saw that Tan Wen's face had not changed, and there was no doubt that Qian Gu's flesh and blood suddenly dried up at an extremely fast speed after the blood had drained away.
A few minutes later, Qian Gu's corpse had become a dry corpse that had escaped alive, leaving only a piece of human skin draped over the bones.
Tan Wen explained to me, "The reason you see that others are not ghosts is because he has been feeding these corpses with his own essence and blood before. Because of feeding these corpses, it leads to the continuous loss of one's own essence to become like this.
And, when these corpses are killed, they already contain resentment, coupled with the nourishment of essence, which leads to the maximization of resentment, and then becomes resentment, once this resentment is refined, then the ability of these corpses will be comparable to that of a corpse! ”
I do know that my grandfather told me that corpses are divided into dead corpses, walking corpses, walking corpses, and zombies, and those who die and decay are dead corpses, those who die and are in the middle of evil are walking corpses, and those who die and struck living creatures are walking corpses, but the first three types of corpses will be corrupted.
Those who die but do not freeze are zombies, and the resentment of zombies is far greater than that of the first three types of corpses, and the conditions for formation are naturally very difficult.
And there are a lot of zombies, according to grandpa, there is such a story about zombies.
In the Qing Dynasty, a family of ordinary people in the mountains. The father of the head of the family was over 90 years old, and when he returned to heaven one day, everyone gathered to mourn him.
The body was originally at home, and the relatives and friends of the deceased guarded their filial piety, and late at night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only two people to guard the body.
The two men guarded the corpse until midnight, and they were also sleepy, so they fell asleep next to the corpse.
This is a cat that suddenly ran in at the door, and the cat, which had spirituality, quietly bypassed the two and jumped onto the corpse.
"Meow~" Suddenly a cat meow woke up the two people who were keeping filial piety, and after the two woke up, they saw the cat lying on the corpse, and their eyes were extremely fierce in the night, and the two of them trembled.
After the cat barked, it began to bark continuously, and the barking was very miserable, one after another, and the two stood up and wanted to drive the cat away.
Seeing the two of them standing up, the cat was also smart, one pounced, jumped off the corpse, and ran out of the funeral kiln (the countryside will do white things for the dead, and the mortuary room is called the funeral kiln or mourning room).
Seeing the cat run out of the funeral kiln, the two of them couldn't stop patting their chests and were about to sit down, but the parked corpse suddenly jumped up like a spring and stood upright. Then it began to beat, and the two of them were too frightened to open their mouths when they saw this scene, and stayed in place.
The corpse first jumped off the board where it was parked, and then jumped towards the door, ignoring the two filial guards.
The two watched as the corpse jumped towards the door, and when they jumped to the door, the corpse suddenly stopped in place, still beating.
The cave generally has a threshold, and the two filial piety keepers looked at it and found that the corpse was beating, but the height was always beyond the threshold, causing the corpse to just jump in place.
The two were very frightened, but they were also shocked, the two hid in the kiln and did not dare to speak, knowing that it was dawn, and other filial piety keepers also came, only to find that the dead were constantly beating at the door of the kiln.
Everyone was also shocked, and they didn't know what to do for a while, but Mr. Yin and Yang knew about it, and Mr. Yin and Yang, who was dealing with the funeral, saw this scene, recited a few spells, and then took a brazier and asked everyone to kneel in front of the corpse, constantly burning paper and chanting scriptures.
The corpse finally stopped beating, and then fell to the ground, and Mr. Yin and Yang said that it was all right, and the filial piety keeper moved the corpse back to the morgue.
Similarly, it is precisely because of this that in the future, when the funeral is parked, cats and dogs and other spiritual animals will be placed outside, and they will not be allowed to enter the funeral kiln, because cats have spirituality and will be "frightened" when screaming, causing the corpse to jump.
Grandpa said that this kind of corpse that is not aggressive, but still beats after death is a walking corpse! Because it is a natural death, there is no resentment in the body, and it will not attack people.
And the stumbling ropes tied to the feet of the rural corpse are also said to prevent the Ou corpse from jumping up after the shock.
Tan Wen continued: "If these corpses are not disposed of, they will definitely become walking corpses, and this Qian Gu is completely self-inflicted, this corpse sect has an old method, and the legend can make people have incredible power, but this is just a legend after all.
This Qian Gu refining corpse did not reach the realm, and he fed the corpse with his own essence blood, using the wrong method, which caused his essence to continue to drain, plus in order to deal with us just now, he sucked the blood of these corpses.
Originally, his strength would indeed increase after absorption, and he would also become a monster, but his essence was no longer enough to support this power, just like a bucket of water poured into a small cup, and the small quilt could not hold it at all.
This guy can only hang up. This is also the reason why I asked you to believe me, the Dharma seal I received before actually has the effect of breaking evil, and it is a great threat to Qian Gu, who is no longer a human or a ghost. ”
After listening to what Tan Wen said, I instantly understood what was going on, but the solution of one problem means the emergence of another.
I asked my question: "Now that it's the twenty-first century, how can anyone still pursue the power gained by this kind of sorcery?" ”
"I don't know about this, it's done, we can go back, this corpse, you can burn it with samadhi fire later, because the paper tent is very evil, and it is difficult to burn it with ordinary fire."
Saying that, Tan Wen took out a box of cigarettes out of nowhere, took out one, asked me for a piece of yellow paper, shook his hand, and the yellow paper instantly burned, and lit the cigarette.
To be honest, it's pretty cool, before Brother Pony lit cigarettes with money, and then Tan Wen lit cigarettes with rune paper, I call it an expert!
Tan Wen asked me if I would smoke it, I shook my head, took out a talisman with Samadhi True Fire written on it from my pocket, walked over to several corpses, and gently recited the mantra, this time I didn't expect this thing to ignite on its own.
As soon as I took out the lighter, I was very embarrassed when I brushed the yellow paper and lit it myself, and when I saw Tan Wen looking at me with strange eyes, I had to laugh and throw the Samadhi True Fire on these corpses.
With a "bang", after the samadhi real fire touched these corpses, it burned instantly, just like gasoline met a flame, and a scorching smell came out.
The fire kept burning, and the smoke was also filled, and we were so panicked that we no longer stayed in the kiln.
After Tan Wen smoked two cigarettes in succession, several corpses were burned, and I looked at my phone, it was almost 10 o'clock.
"Let's go, talk to my third uncle tomorrow, it's over." The two of us walked briskly back to our village, and as we left, I picked up Qian Gu's flashlight, and now when I go back, I won't be as confused as before.
The moonlight at night was unusually bright, and I was relieved that the matter at hand had finally been taken care of.
When I got home, my stomach caused me to be a little hungry, so I walked to eat some food, and went to the shop at the entrance of the village to buy a little, and when I left, Tan Wen suddenly proposed to drink some wine, I thought, the credit for today's incident is indeed all due to him, so I agreed.
The two of us were eating on the kang, Tan Wen said, I didn't expect me to be so young, and the cooking was good. Tan Wen said slowly after praising me inexplicably.
"I've seen your birthday, plus this cultivator will suffer from five evils and three deficiencies, your life is quite special, I believe the person who taught you Taoism told you!" Tan Wen took a bite of the dish and said as he ate.
"Where did you see that?" I was a little confused, I never seemed to tell anyone about my birthday.
"You fell asleep that night, and I inadvertently deduced your date of birth from what I saw on your ID card." Tan Wen explained, for fear that I would misunderstand.
I'm not surprised by this, I never carry my ID card with me, I usually keep it on my desk, so it's normal to see it.
"That's right, my grandfather said that." I nodded in the affirmative.
"I can't tell you what your life is, but you should know that you can be one of the three shortcomings, plus your life, you are destined to live no more than eighteen years old." Tan Wen said with a heavy face.
"Is there any solution to this?" I became interested, and my grandfather just told me that there was a solution, but I had to find out what it was.
"I don't know the solution, but there is a chance to break this fate, I don't know if you want to go." The expression on Tan Wen's face softened a lot.
Their eyes were fixed on me, as if they were very concerned about my answer.
