Chapter 26: The Space That Doesn't Exist (Part II)
After taking a step, I really saw Sister Bailing in front, and she had been holding my hand and never let go, so the picture I saw her disappearing just now was not an illusion?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be scared for a while. The Taoist priest and Niu Gang quickly walked out after me, and the moment they came out, their reaction was the same as mine, stunned and incredulous, and Niu Gang even pinched his face.
After everyone walked out, Sister Bailing's expression soothed a little and told us that we could turn on the flashlight. Hearing this, the Taoist priest and I looked at the flashlight, and under the light, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I was stunned, only to see that the place where we were was was where the murder occurred, and the place where the village monument was located.
What's going on? How did you come back again?
It's not just me who also has this question, the Taoist priest and Niu Gang also showed stunned on their faces, Sister Bailing didn't explain, let's go home and talk about it. As she spoke, she walked ahead with a candle and told us to follow.
This time we returned to the village smoothly, flashlights and torches flashed everywhere in the village, and it seemed that Erhu and the villagers were still looking for it.
I borrowed Officer Niu's mobile phone to call Erhu and asked him to inform the villagers not to look for it again, and Erhu eagerly asked me on the phone if I was looking for my grandmother? I said no, something happened just now, and I can't look for it anymore, otherwise there may be an accident, so I asked the villagers to rest quickly and try not to leave the house at night.
Erhu heard that something was wrong and said that he wanted to come and see me, and I told him that it was nothing serious, let him rest early, and maybe ask him for help tomorrow, so he gave up.
After returning home, Sister Bailing blew out the lotus white candle and put it away. Until then, I didn't understand what had just happened.
He Xiaoyi didn't wake up, Niu Gang was worried that she was evil, so he hurriedly asked Sister Bailing to help take a look. Sister Bailing checked it and said that she was just overly frightened and fainted, not an evil spirit, and she would be fine when she woke up from sleep.
Niu Gang was relieved at this time, at this time his mobile phone rang, the call was from his colleagues, he said goodbye to us after answering the phone, and rushed back to the guest house with He Xiaoyi on his back.
When I asked him what was wrong, he said that the place where he had been scratched just now was extremely itchy, as if it was burning. I was shocked, and said that eighty percent of it was poisoned, so I was busy asking Sister Bailing to show him.
My grandmother was originally a goddess in a Miao village named Si Yang, a hundred or ten miles away from Dingyan Village. Si Miao Village is one of the few local seedling villages, almost in a state of complete isolation, basically no contact with the outside world, is an extremely mysterious place.
I've only heard my grandmother talk about it a few times, when she was a goddess in Si Yang, she was responsible for the illness of the Miao people in the entire village, and her old man had reached the realm of magic with witch doctors.
Take, for example, what happened when I was 16 years old, when I had a very bad flu, and it was the same time that the flu was spreading widely, and the hospitals were overcrowded, and it could only suppress the disease, but not cure it. My family took me back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year, and my grandmother saw that I was sick like this, so she went into the mountains alone the next day to make some herbs and boiled them into soup to feed me to take, and in less than two days, the flu that the medical community was helpless at that time was cured.
At that time, the third uncle still asked his grandmother for a prescription with a dead face, and the grandmother said that this was a secret that the witch doctor did not pass on, and unless he agreed to be her heir, he would not talk about it. The third uncle already had a public office at the time, so naturally he wouldn't agree, so he didn't mention it again, but I found that he secretly went to the kitchen afterwards to rummage through the residue left over from his grandmother's medicine. Not long after returning to school, the school ordered everyone to drink a bad Chinese medicine, regardless of whether they had the flu or not.
As soon as I drank it, I found that this medicine tasted exactly the same as that my grandmother gave me, and I was still strange at the time, but now it seems that the third uncle must have secretly brought the medicine residue to the relevant departments. At that time, the super flu that plagued the whole society was solved by a pair of Chinese medicine, which shows how awesome the witch doctor mastered by grandma is.
Although I call Sister Bailing my sister, just because she is older than me, and she has regarded herself as an older sister since she was a child, she is not really my real sister, and she is not even related to me by blood. I heard my mother say that she was picked up by my grandmother, she was only six years old at the time, and was later raised by my grandmother as a daughter.
Sister Bailing has followed her grandmother since she was a child, and her grandmother also cultivated her as an heir, and taught her all her skills, including the witch doctor. Therefore, Sister Bailing is also a doctor who is proficient in pharmacology, there are deep mountains near Dingyan Village, there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and the villagers are often bitten and poisoned.
The Taoist priest took off his clothes, and when he saw the shocking scars on his chest, even though I had predicted the worst, I was still startled by those horrible claw marks.
The claws were poisonous, for the blood from the wound had turned black, and the flesh had turned purple and spread throughout the chest. Countless black qi wrapped around the turned flesh, as if they wanted to get in, but there was some faint golden light in the Taoist priest's wound that blocked the invasion of black qi.
It seems that the Taoist priest's cultivation over the years is really not covered, but although the black qi can't enter, the toxin has nothing to do with the yin and evil qi, and it is only aimed at the flesh, so the Taoist priest has no problem.
Sister Bailing looked at it, didn't say anything, got up and went back to the house to get some medicinal powder, sprinkled it on the Taoist priest's wound, and helped him bandage it. After doing this, the Taoist priest immediately sighed: "Hey, it's not itchy, oh, what a god, Bailing girl, you are really a miracle doctor!" ”
The Taoist priest's expression was indescribably obscene, I don't know if he sighed because he really didn't itch, or if he deliberately flattered him in order to please Sister Bailing.
Sister Bailing glanced at him, not knowing what he was: "Shao Poor Mouth, what you are in is the corpse poison brought by the corpse puppet worm, originally ordinary people were poisoned by this poison, the toxicity is easy to solve, and the most difficult thing to solve is the evil qi attached to the wound, but you have some foundation, and the evil qi does not invade, so this poison is nothing." ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said that he had to thank you for the medicine, otherwise he would not have to itch to death tonight. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I interjected: "Sister Bailing, what the hell happened just now?" ”
This is a very critical issue, and the Taoist priest is also very concerned about this issue, so he quieted down, planning to listen to Sister Bailing's explanation.
Sister Bailing glanced at me, didn't rush to speak, but asked me to turn around. I didn't know why, but I still did as she said, and as soon as I turned around, the Taoist priest immediately exclaimed: "Ah, damn it, so many handprints?" ”
Hearing this, I was shocked, hurriedly took off my clothes, unfolded it, and suddenly even I gasped. I saw that on the back of the clothes that were scratched by thorns and bushes, there were more than a dozen black handprints, as if they were burned out of a soldering iron, and the clothes were already burned.
"W-what's going on?" I asked, horrified.
Sister Bailing sighed and said, "You just fell out of this world!" ”
Hearing this, the Taoist priest and I both widened our eyes, not knowing what she meant by this. Sister Bailing explained for a while before I understood what she meant.
It turns out that ghosts hitting the wall and ghosts are just hallucinations caused by the paralysis of your own sensory consciousness, but you are still in this world, as long as you don't move, you are still very safe.
And the things we just experienced have been detached from reality, and after the Taoist priest understood what Sister Bailing said, he suddenly realized that it was a field (one said to be a domain)! The so-called field is the general name of the Daomen for the miniature worlds that exist outside of reality.
That is, it is not a real world, or a space that does not exist.
There are many kinds of fields, and the specific division is unknown, but there are recorded fields, such as Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, and the Peach Blossom Spring that the fisherman inadvertently broke into in the text is a kind of field. There is no pattern to its opening and closing, and there are many reasons for its formation.
