Chapter 186: Renbi
,
Lao Zhou seemed to be a little speechless, glanced at me lightly, and said disdainfully:
"Han Gaozu Liu Bang's wife, Empress Lu, have you heard of it?"
I thought about it at once, and took his words and said:
"Yes, of course I know, I'm a schooler, and I'm a university! After Han Gaozu died, Queen Lu Pheasant called his favorite concubine Concubine Xiao or what kind of concubine, chopped off his hands and feet, gouged out his eyes, poured copper water into his ears, and later threw him into the toilet and killed him, right? ”
Lao Zhou nodded and said slowly:
"At present, this version is handed down, but it is still different from the real person."
I suddenly came to my senses, stared at Lao Zhou and asked:
"So what's the matter? Tell me about it! ”
Lao Zhou glanced at me, took a sip of the teacup, and began his narration:
"Renbi is a thing that originated very early, and it came from a people who admired witchcraft, and they were accustomed to making this woman or child into a human being, putting it in a jar, and raising it to prove their absolute right.
After those people are made into human beings, they will never be able to leave the container that holds them, and after they die, their souls will never return, they will always be controlled and enslaved, and they must do what their masters want them to do.
Later, this method of making people was preferred by some people in power, and their disobedient courtiers were made into people, as a warning to those subordinates who were not loyal to them, and to establish their own prestige.
After the death of many princes, they will also make a lot of burials, which can not only show their rights and status, but also effectively prevent their tombs from being excavated after their deaths.
Over time, a special plant will grow in the place where the resentment is accumulated, which is the kind of medicinal herb that you are looking for for your girlfriend's cousin this time. ”
After I heard this, I couldn't believe that this thing was true, so many people could choose to treat the people around them in such a cruel way?
I asked Lao Zhou:
"You called me here to take me with you to find a place where there are many burials for this kind of person? Can I see the man who was made of it? I've never seen anything like it! ”
Lao Zhou stared at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled, but he was angry with me.
"You're really not fucking afraid of death, I have to turn around and run when I see that kind of thing, you still want to go and see, are you really alive enough? Just be my apprentice if you see through life and death, you don't need to look for death! ”
I smiled wryly and said:
"Is it really as scary as you say? Didn't you just say that that thing can never be separated from that container? How powerful can the action hand limit be? ”
Lao Zhou didn't speak again, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, looked at me, and said slowly:
"It seems that I can't go this time, so I called you, but I'm starting to suspect that calling you here was a wrong start!
We're going two hundred kilometers from here, and it's all mountainous, so I don't know if we'll see anyone, but the chances are not small, but if you've been so curious, I'm a little skeptical that we'll be able to come back alive this time. ”
I smiled and said nonchalantly:
"With you, Master Zhou, with you, Master Zhou, so likely you won't be able to come back? That's not realistic at all, is it? Don't worry, I'll listen to your arrangement and promise not to mess around! ”
Lao Zhou looked at me suspiciously and didn't say anything more.
The next morning, we left the hotel early and walked into the middle of the mountains.
I didn't bring much, not even a change of clothes, all water and food. The destination of this trip was too far away, and there was simply no way to bring too many things, except for water and food, and no one had a raincoat.
Walking into the mountains, I realized for the first time that Lao Zhou's body did not look like an elderly man at all. Walked faster than me, as if I didn't know I was tired.
In order not to let this old thing laugh at me, I could only grit my teeth and follow, without saying a word, in order to save my strength.
The first time I stopped to rest, I felt like I was about to pass out, and I fell to the ground and couldn't get up at all.
I simply ate something, wrapped myself in a raincoat and fell asleep on the ground.
I felt that I had just fallen asleep, and I was woken up by Lao Zhou, and the sky had just had a hint of brightness, and the feeling of watching the sky slowly brighten up was really a little comfortable.
On the evening of the third day, the weather suddenly changed, a strong wind blew in the mountains, thunder rolled in the sky, and then the rain fell on the beans.
Luckily, we found a small cave and escaped the tragic fate of soaking in the heavy rain.
When I went to bed at night, I wanted to find a stone to pillow on, but since I couldn't make a fire, I had to fumble around.
I really found a smooth flat stone and stuffed it under my head.
Just about to go to bed, he heard a slight voice from Lao Zhou, who seemed to have some doubts about Shen Mo's matter.
After a few seconds, he sat up suddenly, and hit his flashlight to shine on me.
I rolled over impatiently and said dissatisfiedly:
"Didn't you say that the light beckons beasts? Why aren't you afraid of this? ”
He didn't speak, but suddenly he reached out and snatched the stone from under my head with a brush, and the back of my head smacked on the ground, and I grinned in pain.
"What's wrong with you? Can't you find a piece yourself? I... ”
Before I finished speaking, I was stunned, because I saw something called fear in Lao Zhou's eyes.
It was an emotion I had never seen in his eyes, and I had always thought that this old thing was born to be afraid.
He didn't look at me, he stared at the stone in his hand.
I leaned over to take a look and saw that it wasn't a stone at all, but more like a fragment of an altar.
I whispered a little worriedly:
"So? What's wrong with this? Was it left by someone who lived here before? ”
Lao Zhou shook his head slowly, and his tone changed a little:
"No, this is no ordinary jar, this is a container for people! I couldn't be mistaken! ”
Glancing around the black hole, I reluctantly suppressed my emotions that I couldn't tell whether it was fear or excitement, and said in a dry voice:
"Why don't I look and see if I find anything else?"
Lao Zhou's eyes never left the jar in his hand, and he didn't respond to what I said!
