Chapter 42: Descent
"What's down?" I asked, confused.
"Cuan is the name of a descending technique," the old man sneered: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to get this kind of thing in the tomb."
"Descent?" I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't this a Thai thing?" ”
"Thailand's head lowering technique is the evolution of Miao Jiang's Gu poison and our mainland's descending technique." Old man Zuo said disdainfully, picked up the teacup, and took two sips slowly.
"I can't tell you exactly when it started, but judging from the records in the book, the earliest time it appeared was during the Qin Dynasty." Old man Zuo said slowly.
When the old man Zuo said this, he probably came to be interested, lit a cigarette, and explained to us with a smile.
As far as the records of those ancient books are concerned, the descending technique of the Qin Dynasty should be called the Qin surrender.
Descending was also one of the means used by the warlocks in the court to help the princes and nobles manipulate people's hearts during the Qin Dynasty.
This kind of thing is not comparable to orthodox Taoism and those folk schools of law.
Whether the warlocks believed in ghosts or gods, most of them had a good heart and their own professional ethics.
They can knife against injustice, that's right.
But if they were to stab the living, I am afraid that there would be only a handful of warlocks who could agree to this request.
Using spells to harm people, it has to be regarded as blasphemy, and it is a big taboo in the industry!
If nothing else, just breaking his life will have to kill him.
Kill a person with a spell and lose your life for several years, who dares to take this kind of work indiscriminately?
But those demotes don't think so, in their opinion, the longevity of this thing, there is no money and power to come directly.
Since ancient times, most of the people who practice the art of lowering are treacherous and cunning, and nine out of ten of them are goods who see money.
Although they use the technique to harm people and have to lose their lives, they can't help customers take money to shoot in front of them!
What's more, those princes and nobles can not only give them money, but also give them power.
Therefore, in the pre-Qin period, the technique of surrendering was very popular, and the descending masters in the court were even more left and right, and both wealth and power were gained.
At that time, 99% of the spells were stabbing on the living, and there were more spells that harmed people than those that saved people, and even fewer spells to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits.
"Ancient Qin has a skill, and the name is Qin Descending." The old man Zuo shook his head and explained to us as if he was reciting an ancient poem: "If you win people's hair and skin, the technique can be lowered, and those who are surrendered will have pus in their seven orifices, and they will not be able to live beyond life until they die." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man Zuo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that Qin Shi Huang's book burning and pit Confucianism also have something to do with this, but it's useless for me to tell you so much, just talk about this plan." ”
As he spoke, the old man Zuo drew a virtual picture on the coffee table with his fingers.
"Planing, in ancient times, it means burning fire for cooking, the reason why it is called this name" The old man Zuo laughed weirdly, and then said: "The technique they use is indeed inseparable from cooking on fire, although they burn fire, but what they do is not rice." ”
"What are you doing?" I asked subconsciously.
"They're making living people!" Old man Zuo said word by word: "The descending master uses the descending technique to put it on the living person, and then stuffs the person in the stove to roast it, these roasted meat has two uses, one is to give the descendant himself to eat, which can improve the strength of the descending master in a short period of time, it is almost like taking a stimulant, and it is a trivial matter to fly the eaves and walk the wall."
When Shen Han heard this, he couldn't help retching, but he didn't really spit it out, he just covered his mouth vigorously, and his face was a little frighteningly white.
Although I also felt a little nauseous, I put up with the nausea and asked, "Is this a bit exaggerated?" It's more powerful than a miracle drug! ”
"Bullshit elixir, if you eat human flesh, you will have yin energy in the body of the descending master, and the yang energy of the living will be forced out by them, so as to achieve the kind of physical state of unjust rushing." Old man Zuo sneered: "You have been unjustly rushed over, you should also know how strong those living people who have been unjustly rushed, and the degrader is dozens of times more powerful than this!" ”
"Well, let's talk about the second use of human flesh," I changed the subject, smirking.
"The second use is to use these flesh to harm people." Old man Zuo frowned and said, "But I don't understand how to use it, I have to go to see it on the spot." ”
As soon as the words fell, Old Man Zuo turned his face and asked Shen Han, "Where is the tomb you went down?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Han glanced at me, hesitated for a while, and said, "Qing Dynasty"
"Wait, you two don't talk yet."
I only felt a pain in my head at this time, and hurriedly waved my hand: "What, wait for me to take care of it first, what is this tomb you are talking about?" Shen Han's tomb? Girl, where the hell are you going to do business?! ”
Shen Han looked at the old man Zuo and saw that he didn't say anything, so he shrugged his shoulders at me.
"Tombs, I studied archaeology, so"
"She's a grave robber." Old man Zuo explained impatiently, took a sip of tea, and said to me: "Don't care about these details, let's get down to business first." ”
Serious business, you have a face?!
You old guy really don't take the laws of the country seriously, do you?! Believe it or not, I'll call the police and hand you both over to the state?!
I slowed down for a moment and asked them tentatively: "Sister, didn't Lao Zuo make it clear, looking at your appearance, you should be an archaeologist, right?" ”
"I did study archaeology, and when I first went to university, I chose this major." Shen Han said to me very seriously: "But I am indeed a tomb robber, you see, this is what I took out of the tomb last time." ”
Saying that, Shen Han took out a wrench from his pocket like Xianbao, the whole body was turquoise, and the material should be jade, I can't say the specifics, this is not something I'm good at
"How much is this worth?" I asked cautiously.
"200,000, if the seller likes it, he can go up." Shen Han put the wrench back and asked me seriously, "What's wrong?" Do you want to buy it? I can give you a 10% discount. ”
I rubbed my temples, and said in my heart that this girl's thinking jumped a little bit, and it was fine just now, why did she start selling me in a blink of an eye
"This is sold, how many years do you have to be sentenced?" I asked casually.
"What do you mean?" Shen Han glared at me: "The surname is Yuan, you don't want to report me, right?" ”
Shen Han's right hand was already clenching the teacup, as long as I said a word, it was estimated that the teacup would have to slap me in the face.
"No, just ask." I smiled all over my face: "Besides, I can't bear to let such a beautiful girl go to the bitter kiln." ”
Shen Han gave me a deep look, his eyes full of threat.
"Anyway, you're not digging my ancestral grave, what am I afraid of?" I sneered, "I just feel like it's rare, so I'm a little surprised."
"You think it's a bit immoral." Shen Han sneered.
"No," I scratched.
"Don't you go off-topic, okay?" Old man Zuo was a little impatient: "She digs her, you live yours, it's all a fart?!" Shen Han and Xiaohai's family, they dig graves to see the object. ”
"Loyal ministers, good generals, literati, and warlocks, they don't move the graves of these four kinds of people, as for the other ancient tombs, they will be dug up, and it is a waste to keep them, and the people's fat and people's anointing will be attributed to the people, is this wrong?"
"Besides, their craft is a craft handed down from their ancestors, if they lose their skills, it will not be a thing."
Shen Han was deeply impressed by Old Man Zuo's words, and kept nodding his head and said, "Grandpa Zuo is right!" My brother and I think the same way! ”
"Your brother is also a tomb robber?" I smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, I'll go, you're a family of tomb robbers, it's like making a movie."
Old man Zuo and Shen Han didn't pay attention to me anymore, and chatted to themselves.
"Planing is different from ordinary things, because without the control of the descending master, that piece of meat that harms people does not have much effect, no matter how much or how little meat it is, it can only harm people within three zhang." Old man Zuo asked Shen Han seriously: "When you went to the tomb, did the patient who was infected by the planing go with you?" ”
"No, I'm sneaking up the mountain." Shen Han shook his head: "That night, as soon as I dug out the tomb door, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn't go in, but the second time I went up the mountain, I found this aunt lying in the grass under the mountainside, and when I saw her symptoms, I felt that I made it, after all"
Speaking of this, Shen Han looked at me with great shame, and said guiltily: "Wasn't it the same last time?"
"Could it be that this old aunt accidentally went to the ancient tomb when she was going up the mountain?" I asked.
"Possibly." Old man Zuo frowned: "But this tomb shouldn't be so dangerous, the tomb door hasn't been opened, how did this plan come out?"
"That aunt seems to go up the mountain to collect medicine to sell" Shen Han smiled bitterly: "I didn't even enter the tomb door, shouldn't I have brought it out."
"We'll have to see it on the ground." Old man Zuo shook his head: "It's not good to say anything now, it's just right to plan this kind of thing!" ”
The old man on the left slapped his thigh suddenly: "You girl dug out the tomb door!" The burial in the ground naturally has to work! Maybe it has something to do with your broken ground! ”
