XXXVII. Giving birth to a Buddha
Although Niu Erzhu knew that the mud tire was really strange, he didn't know why the other strange person who appeared in the dream one after another, and that thing reminded himself again and again, it seemed that there was no malicious intent, but he was also acting strangely, and he couldn't even see his face clearly, so he had to guard against it. Da Shao was already in a dilemma at this time, and he was afraid that he would scare the three rats and cause something wrong, so he had to hold back his words in his heart and cautiously walked towards the mud tire.
Dashao was full of vigilance, secretly holding a wooden stick in his hand while carefully probing the surrounding movements. He found that the debris was scattered and stretched all the way to the side of the idol until it was gone. Erzhu knew in his heart that this must have been left by the mud tire operation, this thing suffered a loss in the forest, knowing that Da Shao was clever, he didn't dare to start lightly, so he had to secretly attack while Niu Erzhu was asleep. It stands to reason that if you want to go on like this, Da Shao will definitely die, who knows that there is something in the dream that has made trouble three or four times, although Niu Erzhu is in danger, he has escaped death every time!
Da Shao walked to the mud tire, peeked at the ground, and saw that although the mud tire was still under his feet, there were traces of movement, originally this thing stood side by side with other little ghosts in the temple, but now it unconsciously moved forward three meters, that is to say, every time Niu Erzhu fell asleep, this thing moved forward one meter. Da Shao sweated down at that time, and secretly went straight to luck, but fortunately there was something to guide him in his dream, and he had to sleep all the time, he must have been unjustly killed!
Niu Erzhu saw such a scene, that is not at all I want to stay in this temple at all, he knows that the reason why he and the three rats have survived until now, in addition to the secret help of the masters, the scruples of the mud fetus also account for a large aspect, if it hurts when the two of them just enter the temple gate, where is its own life? Da Shao's heart palpitated, just about to call the three rats to escape from the broken temple, there was another thunder in the sky, shaking the broken temple everywhere, Niu Erzhu at first glance, suddenly his face was like earth, his heart said bad, he thought very simply, he slept but forgot the thunder and lightning in the sky, now the wind and rain are combined, there is no meaning to stop, and this thunder is also evil, specifically on the top of the two people's heads, going out is not equivalent to death?
Niu Erzhu thought about it, he really encountered a desperate situation today, except for death, there was no other trick at all. Da Shao was groaning, and the three rats also saw something, since Niu Erzhu was wandering around next to the mud tire just now, he didn't move his nest for half a day. Could it be that he really found something? Bu Facai relied on his courage to make a living, and asked with a trembling mouth: "Second ...... Second brother, do you think about it? ”
As soon as Niu Erzhu heard that he was coming, he must have known that it was not good, this kid was hairy, maybe something would happen, and at the moment of crisis, Erzhu didn't dare to look back, and stretched out his hand to gesture at him, which meant that he didn't come over to make trouble. The three rats were frightened several times in succession, and their heads were a little wooden, but they didn't see what was going on, but they still walked forward vigorously, knowing that the mud tire was not far away, and then they understood the taste. But he also understood, this matter also happened, Bu Fa Caiguang paid attention to Niu Erzhu's gestures, so he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet, and he didn't know if he tripped over something, so he fell on a big horse at that time!
This fall is also a fall, and the three rats are a big and small man, although he has lost a little weight, he can't fall to death. But it happened that there was something in this kid's hand, since he entered the broken temple, the three rats were up and down in their hearts, and they didn't live for a while, just in case, he didn't know when he found a wooden stick to defend himself, and now this fall doesn't matter, the wooden stick flew out of his hand, and happened to be smashed on the ankle of the mud tire, when he heard a dull sound, the mud tire was smashed off a layer of dirt, revealing the black stuff inside.
There was a gust of wind in the broken temple, and the ghost cried wolf howl in the wind, which made people feel a chill in their hearts, and at the same time an extremely disgusting smell spread, Niu Erzhu and the third mouse Ben'er did not fight, and they vomited at that time, the smell was too bad, just like the stinky meat of rotten maggots. The brothers couldn't care about anything else, they covered their stomachs and vomited, not to mention the danger at this time, even if there was really a steel knife on their necks, they couldn't take care of it.
The two of them vomited for a long time, only to ease up, although Niu Erzhu trembled in his heart, but he couldn't resist his curiosity, he looked at the damaged mud tire with fear, and almost vomited it again, although this thing was coated with a layer of colored mud on the outside, but it was a hollow inside, and I don't know what was wrapped in it, it had rotted for a long time, and there were some dead skin and bones left. Although the thing is rotten, it has been sealed in the mud tire, and at this time it has only seen the light of day, and once the corpse stench that has accumulated for an unknown amount of time wafts out, not to mention people, even wild boars that soak in muddy water on weekdays can smoke a few to death!
Niu Erzhu's heart sank, this is not a smell, no matter how bad the taste is, it will be over after enduring, the key is that Da Shao's eyes are sharp, and he recognized that it was not something else wrapped in the mud tire, it was a human leg! Although the flesh on the leg is gone, the bone is a real human leg bone. Niu Erzhu took a breath of cool air and secretly shouted: "Could this be the long-lost 'living Buddha' in the rivers and lakes?" ”
The so-called "birth of Buddha", as the name suggests, is to turn people into Buddhas, don't get me wrong, when Sakyamuni became a Buddha and realized the Tao has also experienced many sufferings, an ordinary mortal who became an immortal Buddha? This is a means of cheating money and killing people in the rivers and lakes, and in the final analysis, it is not much different from making animals.
Although there are many sects in the rivers and lakes, they are all "wind horses, swallows, and birds, gold bottles, and color hexagrams" five major industries, although most of these lines deceive people, but most of them are cheating money and not harming life, and they are not extremely vicious, in addition, there are two major industries of "making animals" and "giving birth to Buddhas", that is, the crime is monstrous, and even the Qing government has to order it to be banned.
Let's talk about this "animal creation" first, this thing has been around since ancient times, and even Mr. Pu Songling has recorded it. It is a means of using witchcraft and evil magic to kill people, and it is not limited to one. Some take out delicious food, coax people to eat, after eating, they are delirious, follow the bad guys, the common name is "Da Suba", Jiangnan is called "ripping". The caster tricks people into their nests and tries to turn them into animals, which is called "animal creation". This method is still rare north of the Yangtze River, but it is available south of the Yellow River.
After talking about "making animals", let's talk about "giving birth to Buddhas", and those who create this kind of evil are generally monks who do evil things, in order to defraud good men and women of incense money, so as to make ill-gotten gains. In ancient times, if passers-by had no money or missed the lodging, they generally went to the nearby temple to stay overnight, and when they left, they gave a few money, and if they didn't have money, they pulled it down. These demon monks will often pick one of them who is far away or has no relatives at home, use medicine to turn him over, imprison him in a secret room, feed him some human oil and evil medicine every day, and after a certain number of days, this person will not move, and he can't speak, how others fiddle with him.
At this time, the evil monks will put this person on the incense table, saying that it is the living Buddha who came to the world and purified all sentient beings, and those foolish people saw a big living person sitting there, and did not eat or move for several days. After this kind of torture, this person was about to die in less than half a month, and the monks lied to people that the living Buddha was going to ascend to heaven, amassed a sum of money, set fire to burn people to death, and then looked for the next target.
Niu Erzhu thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was wrong, the "living Buddha" generally burned the victim to avoid future troubles, but he had never heard of wrapping people in mud tires. Da Shao was thinking wildly, and suddenly inadvertently glanced at the ground, and found that the mud tire actually stretched out his hands and smashed it into the back of his head.
Mud tires are coming!
