"You say, let's listen."

I looked at Li Yingxue's expression and knew that what she was going to say was definitely not simple, otherwise she wouldn't have shown this expression again, let alone the profound meaning of what she just said.

Before we came, I always thought that I came to this old mansion today just to investigate the relationship between this old mansion and the disappearance of the fat man, but after coming here, I found that many things are actually more complicated than we imagined, this house may be related to the disappearance of the fat man, but the house itself has more secrets.

My brother with facial paralysis and I found a safe place, and after sitting down, one of us lit a cigarette and said, "Say it." ”

According to Li Yingxue, the concept of this fragrant corpse first appeared in numerology.

The most important and core concept in numerology is called "life", which is not quite the same as the fate we understand now, it contains two aspects, on the one hand, the fortune of a person's life, that is, what love, career and the like, and on the other hand, it is to say that the person's life, that is, how long we say life.

Numerology believes that how long each person's life is, is fixed, and it is predictable, which is to say that the total amount of yang energy in a person's body is unchanged, whether the person is alive or dead, the yang energy is so much, of course, when a person dies, or because of an accident or something else dies early, then the yang energy in his body will be exhausted.

Another important concept in numerology is that the death of a person is due to the depletion of yang energy, of course, this refers to normal death, that is, if the yang energy in a person's body can grow indefinitely, or there is always a new yang energy injected into the body, then theoretically, this person can live forever.

That is, the combination of these two important concepts has produced the most evil thing in the nearly 5,000-year history of China, that is, to suck the corpse qi and continue the longevity of the yang.

To put it simply, it means that a rich person spends a lot of money to buy the body of a person who died because of an accident or something else, pay attention, this person must not die for too long, otherwise the yang energy in the body will be exhausted; After buying the corpse, a special treatment method is used to ensure the freshness of the corpse, that is, it will never decay, and the main way is to use spices, which contributed to the birth of the kind of thing just now, that is, the strange thing like the fragrant corpse.

After ensuring that the corpse would not rot and that the yang energy would not leak out, this rich man had to eat and live with the fragrant corpse for 7749 days before he could absorb all the yang energy preserved in the corpse into his body and use it to replenish his yang energy, that is, on the other hand, to continue his life.

This method was quite popular in the Han Dynasty, it is said that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was about to return to the west, he was looking for the world's capable people to continue his life, and there were folk masters who offered this trick in seconds, but unfortunately this trick was used by the villain because of the political struggle at the time, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not succeed in continuing his life, if he succeeded, maybe Chinese history will be another face.

This evil way later developed very viciously, some people had to buy murder because they couldn't buy a suitable corpse, and then buy back the corpse, just to save the extra few days of yang energy, and even more excessively, even locked their eyes on the child's body, and did even more despicable things.

This trick was not until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, because Jiajing, the emperor who advocated the cultivation of immortals, led by the rich people all over the country who were popular in cultivating immortals, and wanted to pursue immortality in this way, and this evil method slowly withdrew from the stage of history.

Or just withdrew from the official stage of the historical stage, and in some dark corner of history, there are still some people who secretly do this evil thing.

After Li Yingxue finished speaking, I looked incredible with Brother Facial Paralysis, I said it differently, it was the first time I heard of this kind of thing, the evil in it made me feel disgusting, and Brother Facial Paralysis couldn't believe it, the numerology Feng Shui theory he advocated seemed to be lofty, but there was such a dark and unspeakable thing in it.

He pouted and said, "No, someone really does that?" ”

Li Yingxue said: "There are too many things in this world that are more complicated than you imagined. ”

I also feel staggered, if there is really such a thing, it is not something that I can influence with my brother with facial paralysis, or Li Yingxue, what I am more concerned about now is what she said before.

I looked at Li Yingxue, and she continued: "Generally speaking, raising incense corpses not only needs one corpse, but may need a dozen, or even dozens, so the one we just saw may just escape from control by accident. ”

Brother Facial Paralysis trembled for a while: "My grass, what do you mean, there are more in this house?" ”

Li Yingxue shook her head and said: "I don't know, but according to convention, incense corpses appear in piles, maybe other incense corpses have been controlled, or maybe they haven't been controlled, before entering the inner house, none of us know." ”

I was silent with Brother Facial Paralysis, before I came, I was mentally prepared, but I always felt that even if we encountered something strange here, what we might encounter was not physical, or virtual, in this case, with Li Yingxue and Brother Facial Paralysis by my side, in fact, I was not very worried.

But now the situation is completely different, we encounter concrete, tangible, and things that will be eaten if caught, and then I panic, after all, at this time, it is not about who is experienced and who has more knowledge, but who can escape.

Brother Facial Paralysis thought about it and said, "Then it's better to go like this, let's find a safer way into the inner house and avoid the place where the incense corpse is?" ”

Li Yingxue said: "We now have two ways to enter, one is to enter through the main gate of the inner house, and the other is to drill down from the wellhead. ”

"Let's go to the front door, let's go to the front gate."

My paralyzed brother and I said in unison, and I got goosebumps all over my body when I thought about the appearance of that thing just now, and I had to drill into the well.

"Check things again, we're ready to go inside."

Li Yingxue put her backpack on her back, watched me and my brother with facial paralysis stand up very reluctantly, and followed her to push open the door of the inner house.

I thought that the situation of the inner house would definitely be worse when the outer yard was already so dilapidated, after all, those so-called precious timber could not withstand such a long period of storage, but to my surprise, the decoration and furniture in the inner house were surprisingly well preserved, and it could even be said that it was in good condition.

"People come here a lot."

Brother Facial Paralysis touched a solid wood sofa and said, "This solid wood has just been waxed some time ago, and it is not long ago." ”

I was a little stunned, who would live here? If you want this, there may be a fragrant corpse hidden in every corner of this house, and you can't be scared to death when you sleep in the middle of the night.

However, there is another possibility, that is, the person who lives here is the same person who made those incense corpses, so he does not have to be afraid at all.

After entering the inner house, there is a huge living room, whether it is furniture or calligraphy and painting, it is very well preserved, as if there were people here ten minutes ago, I and my face paralyzed brother circled, and found that the things in it are not only precious, but also very rare, and even the degree of nobility has been higher than the villa of the previous boss, which can't help but make us staggered.

Brother Facial Paralysis's interest in antiques came up again, he looked here, touched there, and kept saying: "Oh, my grass, this thing is actually here, Lao Chen, come and take a look, if this thing is taken away, it can be sold for a lot of money!" ”

I wasn't interested in talking to him about these things, so I asked Li Yingxue, "Is there anything weird?" ”

She shook her head and said, "I don't smell that strange smell anymore, do you smell it?" ”

I lifted my nose and sniffed it carefully, it was true that there was no such smell, I also shook my head, I was just about to say that I would check again to see if there was a hidden incense corpse on the first floor, when I heard the paralyzed brother who was reading calligraphy and painting over there said, "Alas? Lao Chen, come here, why is your name on this painting? ”
