Cannibalistic longevity village ....

Hot sweat broke out on my forehead: Zhao Banxian, eat someone?

I secretly looked at Zhao Banxian, who was leading the way in front, and I was in a very relaxed mood for a self-driving trip, and I fell into a trough and panic all of a sudden.

I originally thought it was a small business like Zhang Daguan, who came to the ancient village of Jiangnan Water Town in the mountains to travel, and did the dirty things of the funeral parlor in the village.

But....

It's not simple anymore, the combination of these information, it's a little scary: drive away with laughter, longevity village, cannibalism ....

This Chen policeman doesn't understand the knowledge of yin xing, but after accepting so many cases, he must understand something, and this laughing disease may be a disease.

I said, "Officer Chen, do you see anything?"

"Here, it's not a place to talk, let's have a good trip, this village is very good, asphalt slate, very historical, like an ancient town for making costume films, and you think it's serious, maybe it's not that serious." Chen Tiantian lightly pointed to Zhao Banxian, who was leading the way in front, meaning to be careful.

Be careful with Zhao Banxian?

I frowned, I don't believe he has any malicious intentions, but he is also quite old, maybe he has hit an evil spirit, be vigilant, it's not a big deal.

We passed through rows of houses, and we followed the road to the funeral parlor on the edge of the intersection.

The person in charge of the funeral home, Wang Zhongyun, received us at the gate and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, thank you very much for coming to us and helping to solve the dirty things in this village." ”

I said, "Haven't you two solved this matter yet?"

Hahaha!

Zhao Banxian laughed and patted me on the shoulder and said, "No! It's not a matter of a moment, and I don't know what it is in a village, but it is said that it is an ancient curse related to this longevity village, and it is very afraid of people's laughter, and people's joyful emotions can drive it away. ”

I thought about it and asked him, "Why do you laugh so much?" Say a few words and laugh.

"I don't know, I laughed when I came to this village, maybe it's the secret of this longevity village, I smile often, and I can fight against that terrible dirty thing, I thought I couldn't laugh, I couldn't think of it that simple, that thing.... I'm not afraid at all. ”

Zhao Banxian continued: "These days, I have studied the dirty things that haunt in the middle of the night, and changed the feng shui bureau of this funeral home, which has to be done for a long time, so I didn't go back, but I didn't expect you to worry about me and come to see me." ”

Except for laughter, Zhao Banxian spoke quite normally.

I hugged Wang Zhongyun and said, "A few of us are here to have a fun time this time." ”

Wang Zhongyun also laughed exaggeratedly, patted me on the shoulder and said: I know, let's learn feng shui with Zhao Banxian, you newcomer have to study hard, me and Lao Zhao, carry you!

I said thank you so much.

Wang Zhongyun took us into the funeral home, visited the condolence hall and incineration room for a week, told us about the cremation process, and said while walking: "You don't have to go to the farmhouse outside, those family hotels, pit money, recently, several employees of our funeral home quit their jobs, saying that they can't stand the dirty things that wander in the funeral home at night, it's terrible, I was scared away, I don't dislike the funeral home, there are many staff dormitories, and I will arrange for you to live." ”

I nodded.

That outdoor people, do not abide by the rules of the village, during the Spring Festival, do not laugh on Chinese New Year's Eve, do not laugh at the disaster, do not drive away the New Year beast, have an accident, sent to the funeral home for cremation, as a result, every night in the funeral home, there is a New Year beast that only appears on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.

This thing is bizarre in itself.

I thought about it for a while and said: Let's stay for a few days and have fun, a few employees in our store are here for a vacation, and they have to go back to work after a few days.

"Play casually, our village..... But the famous longevity village of ten miles and eight townships, there are many tourist tour groups that come every year, and you can go to our longevity spring tomorrow, walk in the green bamboo forest, the scenery is good, and the air is sober. Wang Zhongyun was very enthusiastic and said to a few of our young people: "There are many backpacker girls, handsome guys, and beautiful scenery. ”

A few of us just smiled.

Next, as peers, we visited the process of the funeral home, which can be regarded as a long insight.

At five o'clock, Wang Zhongyun invited us to dinner again, we waved our hands, indicating that we had brought something and could barbecue, so we drove the car outside into the village, and then chose a beautiful tree and began to set up barbecue grills and picnics.

It's like a vacation.

I came over with a barbecue grill and meat, sat on the small bench and skewered the meat one by one, and said to Chen Tiantian: "We didn't eat their things, fortunately we brought them ourselves, let Zhao Banxian go to the funeral home to eat by himself, anyway, Zhao Banxian has already laughed like that, this funeral home.... It can't be eating the flesh of the dead, right? ”

Miao Qianqian was holding the firewood, and also asked: "Yes, fortunately, we brought our own food, do you mean that Zhao Banxian ate human flesh to laugh like this, right?" ”

Looking at a few of us, Chen Tian smiled and sat down next to the fire, and said, "This matter, you yin people don't understand, I'll tell you about it." ”

We ate barbecue by the fire and talked about what was going on in the village in front of us.

Chen Tian said that this laughing disease is a very special disease, laughing wildly, as for the reason for suffering from this disease, there is only one: cannibalism.

I was silent for a moment, looked at Chen Tian with a somewhat shocked face, and said, "You said that as long as you eat people, you will laugh?" Laughing disease? ”

"I thought you were yin people, and if you don't do my job, you should know about this matter, in fact, if you eat people for a long time, you will suffer from laughing disease."

Chen Tian took a skewer, sprinkled pepper on the thin strips, took another sip of beer, and said, "That year beast, don't you have to laugh to drive it away?" According to my suspicions, in order to fight against the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Spring Festival every year, the villagers here are afraid of eating people and using a yin technique similar to laughter to make themselves laugh, otherwise it is impossible for a person to laugh for so long to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, and they use this terrible soil method to drive away the New Year beasts that appear every night. ”

I was silent.

In order to make himself laugh, he actually went to eat people, only to fight against the curse of the generations in this village, so that the villagers here can survive the annual Chinese New Year's Eve?

I said, "Isn't that scientific?" If this person eats animals, if he eats people, he will get sick? From a rational point of view, this human flesh is just a kind of meat, no different from pork and mutton, and eating human flesh will cause you to get sick?

"Yes, yes, human flesh is also meat." Miao Qianqian took a big bite of the barbecue, and several of us discussed the topic of eating human flesh while eating, and we didn't lose our appetite at all.

"You yin people, do you also talk about science?"

Chen Tian looked at me and suddenly said, "Then, I'll tell you about this laughing disease, the natural world is still very mysterious, and there are many things that are difficult for humans to understand." ”

"Laughing disease, which was once discovered on a large scale in Guinea in 1950.... At that time, our country had just been founded, very busy, maybe many people did not know, at that time, there were 35,000 people suffering from laughing disease, and later investigation found that the people there had a custom of cannibalism, the people who died in their own family, pried open their heads and dug out their brains, and the family members ate and divided them raw, which is said to be a ritual of look. ”

I'm a little incredulous:

35,000 people have this laughing disease, that doesn't mean .....

This is not far away, I can't imagine that sixty or seventy years ago, there was still a large-scale custom of terror cannibalism in the local area.... is still eating his own family in large quantities.

Reminds me of circumcision.

We don't know, think it's unbelievable.... It doesn't mean it doesn't really exist.

Chen Tian said: "People eat people, in the superstitious words of your yin people and the ancients in the past, if you lose your conscience and violate morality, you will be punished by God. ”

I said that animals eat their own kind, and there are also?

"Yes, there are basically them, and they are still relatively famous: mad cow disease, have you heard of this disease? It is said that it was particularly terrifying at that time, Europeans and Americans did not like to eat animal offal, killed cattle to eat meat, the internal organs of cattle would be ground into powder, and used to raise cattle, as cattle feed for cattle to eat, so the cattle ate the internal organs of the cow, and those cattle appeared large-scale mad cow disease, and then transmitted to people. ”

I was completely silent.

These two sides are exactly the same, they both eat their own kind on a large scale, and as a result....

Is this accidental?

Not.

Is this some mysterious power, or is it really God's curse?

This Chen weather knowledge is really profound, worthy of being a police flower, a police captain, I have heard of laughing disease, I only heard of the famous mad cow disease before, but I didn't expect this to be the case, and I have seen it for a long time.

I pried the charcoal fire with a wooden stick to make it burn more vigorously, and said, "That's a curse, it's okay to eat the meat of other species, natural selection, a member of the food chain.... But cannibalism violates the principles of heaven and earth, and may be retributed. ”

I think so....

That's a reasonable explanation.

Chen Tian laughed, undeniably picked up a skewer, and said: "Actually, all feudal superstitions can be explained, your soul Yin Spirit, metaphysics, can't be explained yet, but I believe that one day in the future.... will thoroughly understand what the logic of the soul and the yin spirit is, and now you have a scientist's explanation for the damnation of the yin people. ”

I asked what the explanation.

Chen said: "It is said that if a species eats its own kind for a long time, a protein virus of 'pathogenic prion protein' will appear in the brain, and it is not clear why this substance appears.... Let's take people as an analogy, is it possible that the human stomach has the ability to distinguish what kind of meat it eats? Know that what you eat is not mutton and pork, but human flesh? ”

Miao Qianqian suddenly said: Is this a cursed virus? Will it appear after long-term consumption of the same kind?

Chen Tiantian chatted with us and discussed this matter together.

Eating skewers, drinking beer, chatting around the fire, and finally stood up, smiled happily at us and said, "Actually, camping with you guys, it's very happy, it's the first time I've someone willing to take me out to play and participate in group activities, and you're not afraid of me, I'm the happiest." ”

I smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

"I can feel your emotions, it's sincere!" Chen Tiantian smiled brightly and beautifully.

We packed up our tools, drove the car back to the funeral home in the tourist village, stopped in the parking lot, Chen Tian said: "Eat and drink, it's dark, after chatting, let's go, I'll be a gun for you, I'll explore the funeral home of this night with a few of you, the legendary 'year' of the Spring Festival... See what secrets this mysterious village hides at night. ”
