Chapter 68: Possession
There was no boundless darkness, all the light was gone, and it felt as if something was sticking to my eyes, covering everything.
I subconsciously wanted to pull it, but when I touched my eyes, there was nothing, but the feeling of being blindfolded was still there.
Fortunately, this is not the first time I have experienced this sudden blindness, after a short period of shock, I immediately calmed down, and for the time being, I didn't think about why it became like this, and at this moment, a fierce wind suddenly hit my head, my heart tightened, and I subconsciously slashed a sword in that direction.
From the feel of the hand, the sword must have struck something, but I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, and I didn't know what was attacking me.
I hurriedly grasped my sword in both hands, made a defensive gesture, and carefully felt the changes in the air flow around me, and sure enough, it didn't take long for me to sense another air flow hitting my chest from another direction.
Relying on my body to sense the air flow generated by the movement of objects, this kind of high-end operation is still a bit reluctant for me, although I also noticed it in advance, but the reaction is still half a beat slower, and before the apocalypse has time to retreat to block, a huge scroll as hard as a stone has already bombarded my chest.
In an instant, I felt that my chest was about to explode, and all my internal organs seemed to be shaken out of place, and my throat was sweet, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Almost at the same time, my body flew out, the pain was so severe that I couldn't react, and I don't know how long I was flying in the air, a very soft body caught me, held me in place, and immediately unloaded the residual strength and stopped.
At this point, I couldn't even think about who caught me, and I felt terrible pain in my chest.
Soon someone smeared some sticky liquid on my eyes, and in an instant, the darkness seemed to melt away and began to light, and then I saw a pair of translucent duck flippers sticking to my eyes.
I was startled and hurriedly reached out to pull it, but the palm of my hand went straight through it, as if it didn't exist at all.
I hurriedly looked around and found that Luo Rou was beside me, and she was the one who caught me just now.
"Are you alright?" Luo Rou asked me, and at this time, the shock in my chest and abdomen eased a little, so I waved my hand to indicate that I was fine.
Luo Rou also breathed a sigh of relief, put me down on the ground, and then waved to the person next to her, and said something, and two young men immediately walked out of the crowd and lifted me aside.
It was only at this time that I saw the situation in the field clearly, and I saw that I don't know when the disadvantaged Miao people had recovered from the chaos and surrounded the wild people who were crazy again.
On the other side, the Gu King, who had not appeared since the beginning of the chaos, also arrived at this time with a special team wearing iron armor and holding a wooden shield and an ancient Miao knife.
As soon as the team arrived, they immediately joined the warband. Unlike ordinary Miao people, the combat effectiveness of this ironclad army is extraordinary, almost as soon as it appeared, it immediately overturned three savages who were holding Miao Min, I even saw a tall armored soldier riding a horse kicking the horse's back, his body jumped in the air, and then the long knife in his hand flashed a cold light, and the moment he landed, the head of the wild man also rolled down from the torso with a grunt.
The appearance of these people was like a divine soldier descending from heaven, turning the situation in an instant.
I looked at all this in front of me in amazement, and sighed in my heart that it was worthy of being an ancient Miao village that had been inherited for thousands of years, and at the same time I was a little afraid of my recklessness, if it was not a fist but a wooden gun that smashed into my chest just now, then even if my self-healing ability was awesome, I am afraid that I would have to hate it on the spot.
Still, I wondered why I had suddenly lost my sight, and even my hearing, and what was the thing that was clouding my eyes.
Luo Rou's gaze stayed on the battlefield until the black armor army led by the Gu King had an absolute advantage, she suddenly took out a bone flute and played a gentle note.
I saw that the red dots scattered around the warband seemed to receive an order at the same time, and quickly disappeared into the nearby grass and woods, and some of them flew past us, and I realized that the red dots were actually fiery red ladybugs.
After the ladybug flew back to the forest, Luo Rou had time to take care of me, perhaps thinking that my injuries were serious (which was true), and said a word to the two people who had just carried me, and the two people quickly lifted me up again.
Luo Rou came up to me and said to me, "Thank you so much today, but you are a guest and you are seriously injured, so you should go back for treatment first!" ”
After speaking, she waved at the two of them, and the two guys carried me back to Miao Village with a solemn face.
This time, instead of sending me back to the stilted building, they carried me to a larger courtyard that was brightly lit and full of wounded people, apparently their makeshift hospital.
As soon as they put me down, someone soon came forward to check my injuries, I suffered mostly internal injuries, the appearance was only a little bruised, and I was treated by an old Miao doctor who could not speak Chinese, I spoke for a long time, he didn't understand a word, and finally just put some analgesic and swelling herbs for me, I had to smile bitterly.
I spent that night in this temporary hospital, and after myself, a steady stream of seriously injured people were sent, including even the Black Armor Army led by two Gu Kings, obviously the situation behind me had changed again, and I couldn't help but start worrying about the safety of the Taoist priests.
Fortunately, early the next morning, the Taoist priest and the doctor and others were led by Luo Rou to the temporary hospital, except for the appearance of some embarrassment, they were fine.
From the Taoist priest, I learned what had happened after I left.
It's easy to say, after I left, the 'possession' of a dead savage took control of a Miao people, causing the gap in the stone wall to break at the beginning to be broken, and the wild people outside took the opportunity to gather a little and broke through the wall again, and no less than ten wild people poured into the wall.
The situation changed again, the black armor army led by the Gu King (the Taoist priest said that the name of those people was Hei Miao Wei) resisted desperately, and the Gu King himself also released his natal spirit Gu, plus Luo Rou, as a holy woman, used a powerful forbidden witchcraft to manipulate the corpses of the four savages, which narrowly repelled the attack of the savages.
Hearing this, I was amazed in my heart, and I couldn't help but look at Luo Rou, but I saw that her face was pale with some black energy, and her spirit was also a little sluggish, it seemed that the price she paid for using forbidden witchcraft was really not small.
At this time, I remembered the 'possession' mentioned by the Taoist priest, and I felt a little strange, so I asked Luo Rou what is possession? 61 Library
After what happened last night, Luo Rou has completely treated us as her own people.
She told me that the so-called spirit possession is actually a kind of mountain monster parasitic on the body of wild people, most of the mountain monsters are afraid of people, like quiet and lonely places, so these non-human and non-animal existence is mostly concentrated in the deep mountains and old forests, and the more desolate it is, the greater the probability of encountering spirits.
I've seen some mountain spirits and wild monsters before, such as the ghost mandrill in my hometown, which is a type of spirit.
It is rumored that the spirit is a kind of life that comes and goes with the underworld and the world, it is very weird, there are many types, thousands of strange, and most of this kind of creatures carry a strong atmosphere of the underworld, people come into contact with it, even if it is just a glimpse from a distance, it will be contaminated with obscurity and mildew, so that it is riddled with diseases, bad luck, it is really a veritable hoodoo.
However, this is only for humans, on the contrary, since the obscure aura of this type of creature is most loved by evil things, many spirits have the ability to dominate all evils. In the first volume of "Chronicles of the Pingxiao Daoren" that I have read, there is such a story about mountain spirits.
It is rumored that there is a person who has cultivated to a high level of Taoism, and he is dedicated to eliminating evil and defending the righteous path as his own responsibility. There was a person, the Taoist traveled to a remote town in southern Xiangnan, and learned that there was a zombie nearby, which had killed dozens of people, making the town panic and unable to live all day.
The Taoist was determined to eradicate this evil for the local area, so he secretly investigated, and finally intercepted the murderous corpse in a mountain village near the town. The Taoist then fought to the death, and although the Chengjing zombie was powerful, it was still ambushed under the Taoist's superb Taoism and exquisite methods.
After eradicating the murderous corpse, the Taoist was about to destroy the zombie's body, but unexpectedly, a short man in a black hat suddenly flew out of the zombie's body, and begged for mercy at the Taoist again and again.
When the Taoist took a look, it turned out that a mountain spirit was attached to the body of the murderous corpse, and the reason why the murderous corpse could become a sperm zombie was mostly because the mountain spirit possessed it. The Taoist thought in his heart, if he let go of this spirit, in case it was possessed by other zombies, within a few years, it would inevitably give birth to adult zombies again, in order to harm the common people, so he was ruthless, ignored the short man's begging for mercy, and killed it with a sword.
After this incident, the Taoist thought that his merits were complete, but just as he was about to leave, thousands of corpses surrounded the town, killing and injuring countless people, and even the Taoist was seriously injured under the siege of countless zombies. When he was dying, Pingxiao Dao encountered this place, and he and his friends shot together, so as to save the life of the Taoist in the hands of the corpses.
Although the corpse disaster is temporarily resolved, the situation of the town surrounded by thousands of corpses has not changed at all, and there are innocent townspeople who are brutally murdered every day.
The Taoist who was rescued by the Taoist of Pingxiao witnessed this tragic scene, smiled miserably, and told the truth of the siege of a thousand corpses, it turned out that after he killed the villain in the black hat that day, the villain turned into a ball of black gas, and viciously said to the Taoist that it would definitely let the Taoist be buried with him.
After saying all this, the Taoist sighed guiltily and broke himself, and as soon as the Taoist died, the corpse disaster was immediately resolved.
Pingxiao Daoist later left a highly rated conclusion to this Taoist at the end of this story: The righteous path through the ages!
From this story, it is not difficult for us to see the strangeness of the spirits, and the things in the savages that the Miao people call 'possessed spirits' belong to this category.
Luo Rou said that the spirit is a special kind of spirit in the mountains and forests near Miao Village, which belongs to a kind of spirit spirit and cannot be seen by the naked eye. They will only parasitize on a wild man in this life, and after the death of a wild man, they will not run for their lives alone, but will avenge the parasitic wild man.
Last night I suddenly lost my sight, and with my hearing, blindfolded by the parasitic possession of the wild man.
When I heard this, I was shocked, you must know that the translucent thing last night had been covering my eyes for a long time, could it still be now?
Luo Rou saw what I was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, after the spirit is separated from the savage, it can survive alone for an hour at most, and the one on your body has already turned into dust!" ”
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the Gu King also came to the small courtyard with those black Miao Guards covered in black armor.
Including the Gu King, all of them were stained with dried blood, and they looked like they had a feeling of iron and blood, which showed the tragedy of last night's battle.
The Gu King first signaled to all the injured Miao people in the courtyard, and then came to our side and grabbed my hand with a solemn face. I was a little stunned, I didn't know what he meant, and then I heard him say to me in a very grateful tone: "Respected guests, thank you for your help, if there is no support from you, the people in the village will be killed and injured at least several times, I swear here, no matter what I want, but what I can do, Miao Zhai can do, we will be satisfied!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed, I was worried about the burial of the mountain, and now the leaders of Miao Village have said so, and this matter is already a certainty.
Although the meaning is like this, but on the surface, we still have to be polite, after saying some kind words on the face, Gu Wang said that after the matter is dealt with, he will still have a banquet for us.
Although the wild man's attack was repulsed, there was still a lot of bad things waiting for him to deal with, so the Gu King asked Luo Rou to entertain us, and he himself left in a hurry.
Looking at the disabled people in the courtyard, the Taoist priest asked curiously: "Luo Da Beauty, there is something that the Taoist master has never figured out, why would those savages gather to attack Miao Village?" Could it be that there is a wild man's nest around here? ”
The Taoist priest asked exactly what we all wanted to know, so they all looked at Luo Rou curiously!
Facing our curious gaze, Luo Rou sighed and said, "Dao Chief, you are really right, in fact, those savages are the aborigines here, before we migrated here, this secret realm has always been the territory of savages, but near the village, there are at least six caves inhabited by savages!" ”
"What?"
We all exclaimed!
"I'm a good one, six, according to that, we were poisoned by your people, and then we were rescued back to Miao Village, or are we lucky?" The Taoist priest said with an exaggerated expression.
Luo Rou smiled bitterly and nodded: "It should be!" Based on our years of experience dealing with savages, if the first to spot you are savages, I'm afraid ......"
Luo Rou didn't continue, but the Taoist priest muttered a little disappreciatively: "Cut, what's the big deal, even if you can't win the fight and get caught, how can they eat me?" ”
Hearing this, Luo Rou glanced at the Taoist priest lightly, and said calmly: "Daoist, you are really not wrong, those wild people can really eat people!" ”
