350 - Fallen people

After resting for a while, everyone reacted from the shock, obviously, it is definitely impossible to find out the news from the mouths of these drivers who stayed with us last night, so the third brother and the three of us decided to go back to the restaurant to meet Bailong and Xiaoru first, and then discuss when we find Mao Xiaofang.

After getting in the car. The third brother drove us back the same way, and not long after walking out along the mountain road, I suddenly saw a person trembling out of the woods on the side of the road.

"Look, it's Mao Daochang!"

As soon as he recognized him, the third brother quickly parked the car on the side of the road, and the three of us got out of the car and ran towards Mao Daochang, only to see that Mao Daochang, who was fine when he left last night, is now scarred and scarred, and it was us when I saw it. It seemed to be relieved, and the moment the brows were relaxed, the person had already sat on the ground with a 'poof'.

The three of us hurriedly rushed to Daochang Mao's side, and the third brother was the first to ask, "Daochang Mao, what's wrong with you?" Also, why are you here? ”

"I am, I'm the ...... who followed an old friend here"

Mao Daochang took a few long breaths, suddenly grabbed the third brother's arm, stood up desperately, and hurriedly said: "Quick, go back to the restaurant, there is indeed a demon ...... in the restaurant."

"Dao Chief, we already know this."

Talking. We helped Mao Daochang to get into the car, and then when the third brother was driving, I briefly told him what happened last night, but after saying that, Mao Daochang did not show any surprise, but sighed secretly and said: "It's the ...... of the people."

Listen to Mao Daochang's words. I hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, what is the Luotou people?" ”

Mao Daochang glanced at me, and said in a deep voice: "The Luotou people are also called worm falls, which is a kind of demon unique to the south in ancient times, this kind of demon has no body, can only be attached to the human body to survive, and the possessed people have no symptoms during the day, and they don't even know that they have been parasitized by the Luotou people, until after the night, the parasitic people fell into a deep sleep, and under the impetus of the yin qi, the Luotou people began to control the human body to go out to forage for food, however, this kind of demon has long been extinct in the Central Plains. Even I've only heard of it in some accounts......"

That's all that is said and done. Mao Xiaofang told us another story. A story about the 'fallen people'.

He said that the records about the Luotou people have been mentioned in various ancient Taoist books and even historical books, and there is such a story that happened in the Three Kingdoms period, which we are most familiar with.

According to Mao Daochang, there was a general named Zhu Heng in Wu at that time, and there was a servant girl in his house, who was the 'Luotou Min', that is, an ordinary human being parasitized by the Luotou people.

Every night when everyone else had slept, her neck would stretch out, and after a while of her neck would be in the house, her head and neck would separate, and then her neck would retract back to its original length, and the human head would fly out alone to feed, out of the dog's hole, through the skylight, and not back until it was almost dawn.

At first, no one noticed about it, but then it was inadvertently discovered by another maidservant, so he told the general Zhu Heng about it in a panic, Zhu Heng went over to look and found that the maid's body whose head had flown out was still in a good state of sleep, and even the chest cavity could see the ups and downs of breathing, so Zhu Heng covered her whole body with a quilt and left temporarily.

When it was almost dawn, the maid's head flew back again, but because the body was covered by the quilt, he couldn't find the body, and then the whole head fell to the ground and rolled around screaming, as if he was about to die, then Zhu Heng appeared again, lifted the quilt, and the head immediately returned to the maid's body. Dumb co-skills.

was afraid, Zhu Heng didn't dare to kill her, but drove her away as soon as it was dawn, only to learn later that it was Luotoumin.

At that time, the Fallen Heads were very common in the south, especially in some remote tribes, where people were often parasitized by the Fallen Heads people, and even these demons with special abilities were specially selected to form a special night attack force to resist strong enemies, this kind of troops, in history, was called the 'Flying Head Army'.

Mao Daochang said that there are many similar to this kind of demon-based troops in history, such as the rattan armor soldiers of the Ugo country during the Three Kingdoms period, the king vulture bone itself is one of the four red-haired calves in the legend of Daomen, feeding on raw snakes and beasts, invulnerable, and the rattan armor soldiers are actually not only as simple as hard armor, if it is just the rattan armor soaked in potion is invulnerable, it will not be so that Wei Yan, the general of the Southern Expedition of Shu, went out to fight the rattan armor army, and the whole army was wiped out but could not hurt the enemy, and finally could only set fire to the other party and burn them to death, Mao Daochang said, the so-called rattan armor soldiers, rattan armor is just a cover-up, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is an undead zombie army summoned by the red hairy calf, zombies are the most afraid of fire, so Zhuge Liang, who understands gossip in Ming Yin and Yang, chose to extinguish it with fire......

And after Mao Daochang finished talking about these legends about the Luotou people, he suddenly exclaimed again and said: "But speaking of which, it seems that the demon of the Luotou people has long been extinct, right?" Why is it suddenly appearing again now? ”

"The people of the fallen head have not gone extinct, never have been."

Mao Xiaofang raised his eyebrows and replied: "Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling founded the Heavenly Master Dao in the Han Dynasty, and the establishment of the Heavenly Master Dao also marks the gradual rise of the exorcism world, which is undoubtedly a great disaster for demons, and then there are more and more exorcists, and the demons are killed less and less, so in a certain period, many demons chose to flee from Middle-earth, and naturally they became extinct in the Central Plains, but this does not mean that they have long been extinct......"

"You mean, they fled somewhere else?" I exclaimed.

Mao Daochang nodded and said: "That's right, it was Japan, which was called the Japanese slave country at that time, which was also recorded in some Taoist classics. Legend has it that the people of Luotou were called 'Wheelshou' in the Japanese slave country at that time, and in addition, there were even many demons that were rampant in Japan, all of which escaped from the rise of the Middle-earth exorcism world, and because of this, it gradually contributed to the rise of Japanese exorcists and onmyoji, and many exorcists crossed the ocean to Middle-earth to learn art, in order to eradicate these demons......"

When I listened to Mao Daochang's words, I said in my heart that this is also a good thing, how crazy little Japan is when it is fighting, and it is not bad to get some demons to play them to death.

But at this time, there was another question in my mind, so I asked Daoist Mao again: "Daoist, but according to what you said, isn't this fallen head of the people already extinct in the middle, why does it appear again now?" ”

As soon as I said this, Mao Daochang immediately let out a long sigh, shrunk his brows and was silent for a long time before he said: "It's an old friend of mine who brought them back again......"

"Old, old friend?"

I was shocked, but Mao Daochang had already nodded.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard the woman lying on the seat next to me gasp, and her expression suddenly became panicked......

"Mao Daochang, is it possible...... Could it be that he's back again? ”

Mao Daochang glanced at him, nodded again, and sighed: "He has disappeared from the exorcism world for ten years, and if he hadn't seen me with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that he would come back, but last night he almost put me to death, and I doubt it...... His return this time may have something to do with the Witch Cult......"

I didn't know what I was talking about, so I hurriedly asked, "Daoist, who are you talking about?" ”

"His name is Takenaka, before the Three Mountains Apocalypse and even ten years ago, the Japanese Shinto Onmyoji who was in the exorcism world - Takenaka Massajiro ......"

"Day, Japanese?"

"That's right, the Japanese."

Yuan replied beside him: "Although this person is Japanese, he is a prestigious figure in our Middle-earth exorcism world, because he is not only a master of exorcism in Shinto in Japan, but also one of the twelve deities of the Heavenly Hunt, and he is the top in the industry in terms of skills, and even my buddies did not suffer from him back then......"

At the mention of this name, Mi's face became more and more ugly, and I was shocked, how could a Japanese person be one of the twelve Heavenly Hunting Figures?
