Chapter 10: The Secret of Human Skin
Tai Sui, also known as meat Ganoderma lucidum.
From a scientific point of view, it has its own repair ability, and the body contains highly anti-corruption and immunity-improving substances, similar to fungi, but it is the fourth life form of non-plant, non-animal and non-fungal, and has extremely high medicinal value, which can be said to be hard to find.
There is also a saying that Chinese folk call Tai Sui God. The traditional Chinese chronological method is called the Ganzhi chronological method, which is composed of the ten heavenly stems (A, B, C, D, E, JI, G, XIN, NON, and Gui) and the twelve earthly branches (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Ji, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai) in turn. Started in Jiazi and ended in Guihai. A reincarnation takes sixty years and is called a jiazi.
Legend has it that in these 60 years, every year the heavens will send a god out to pay the year, he is responsible for the blessings and disasters of the year in the world, and also in charge of the blessings and misfortunes of the life of the person born in this year.
There are 60 Tai Sui in 60 years, so they are collectively called 60 Jiazi gods. What makes Rowan feel tricky is the third Tai Sui explanation mentioned in this "Chronicles of Foreign Objects and Demon Beasts", which is also a form that he has never heard of before, called "Standing Tai Sui".
No one has ever seen the authenticity of this Tai Sui, and it has only been passed down orally from ancient times to the present.
Legend has it that the Tai Sui God will be the weakest on the day of returning to heaven to return to life, at this time gather a number of people with great magical powers, with mana to drag the fairy spirit of the Tai Sui God into the mortal world, and seal it with a clay pot that burns well, Tai Sui likes the soil, and the good soil is the soil division technique, and the soil can travel three thousand miles a day, but the pottery is obtained after the soil is burned, and it is not the soil.
But this Tai Sui immortal spirit was imprisoned for more than one jiazi, that is, sixty years, and this spirituality took a sharp turn. After the reincarnation of this Jiazi, it came to his year, but because he was trapped and did not return to heaven to restore his life, the spirit of the fairy god became the spirit of the evil god, if it happened to be the second Jiazi when someone opened the clay pot, the evil spirit of Tai Sui was attached to this person, sucking the brain, gnawing the marrow, eroding bones, eating meat, sucking this person to only a complete human skin, leaving hair nails and other external objects in the body, the most dear and then peeling off the skin and leaving, established Tai Sui, for the disaster in all directions, it is really a big murderer.
It is recorded in the book that the Standing Tai Sui likes to eat human flesh and bones, floating in the soil, captive the people who pass by into the ground to suck the bones, flesh, tendons and veins, and suck only a human skin before abandoning it, while the Standing Tai Sui is getting stronger and stronger. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tai Sui was the capital of the king, and for a time the people were scared to stay at home, and they were silent day and night.
Zhang Tianshi You Fang preached so far, watching this scene pinched his fingers and couldn't help but be shocked, so he wanted to kill the Standing Tai Sui to protect the common people, but the Standing Tai Sui entered the earth and escaped, and the ghosts and gods were difficult to find, so it was not easy to kill it. Zhang Tianshi chased and caught up, several times fell short and even occasionally injured, and finally one day, Zhang Tianshi pinched his fingers to calculate the direction of its haunts, and tended to the three mountain gods to bury the mountain stones in the east, west, and south, leaving the east as the mouth, and a layman surnamed Xiao volunteered to lure Tai Sui into the game as bait, and then killed the Lidi Tai, but how to do it, the whole process is not mentioned in the book, but the power of this Lidi Tai Sui can be seen from this.
This thing sounds mysterious, but Luo Wen knows that in the mysterious place, all the myths and stories are almost facts, and the facts that happen are also myths. The situation presented by Zhang Cheng's human skin is basically the same as the situation mentioned in this standing Tai Sui, and at this point, Rowan can almost be sure that this ghost with long feet is likely to be Tai Sui who was trapped in Yijiazi, and the next step is how to find and kill it.
As for who trapped it, what was the purpose of trapping it, and how Zhang Cheng got the clay pot, these must be put back now, because it is more important to reduce casualties than these, and it must be eliminated before it causes human life, and if it is allowed to gradually become stronger, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Rowan looked at his watch, there was less than half an hour left before the gathering time of the four teams, and it was time to think about how to get out of here, Rowan put the "Foreign Object Demon Beast Collection" back in its place and began to look at the room again.
If Luo Wen returned the same way, he would never have the courage to do so, and he would not have considered it when he was forced to do so, and Luo Wen felt that there must be a secret door in this room, because the old man on the second floor of the basement said: Didn't Xiao Zhang's child deliver food today.
But with one sentence, it shows that there are people who come in and out of the house every day to deliver food, and Chen Tiandou said it clearly, only recognize the warrant and not the person, and the director's order is not signed just by saying it, how can it be possible for people to go to the men's toilet of the library every day with food boxes and tableware.
Rowan turned his attention to the ground again, and this time it was easy to see that all the footprints pointed to the old pendulum clock, because the traces of the downturned fluff on the carpet were too obvious to Rowan eyes. Rowan walked to the pendulum clock and found a button without much effort, pressed the pendulum clock and opened it backwards, revealing a long staircase.
When Monkey, Dahai, and Yun Yi walked into the lounge of the fourth team, they saw Zu Long's finger Zen handstand, and he was reading a thick book while doing a handstand, which looked a bit like someone's codex.
Zu Long smiled and said hello when he saw them come in, and the muscles on Dahai's face twitched unconsciously.
After a while, Hexiang and Xing Song walked in one after another, followed by Luo Wen. Luo Wen nodded to the monkey and Hexiang, the monkey understood that he pressed a yellow button from a remote control in his pocket, and the room was automatically turned on by the anti-eavesdropping device installed in the room, and the audio of the meeting discussion recorded in advance was released, Hexiang checked the room, and made sure that no eavesdropping equipment was found, and returned to his place.
Rowan lit a cigarette and said: "I already have the clues of the case, I believe that the old team members have smelled something unusual, this case is not simple, yesterday I asked the monkey to contact a colleague in the information department to set up similar information about this clay pot, but nothing was found." Our old man is the biggest news dealer in the country, and if even his department has something to know, it can only be said that we have encountered something that is prickly, and we have all written a suicide note to play with our lives. ”
After Luo Wen finished speaking, he looked at the members of the four teams, only the sea looked left and right, and everyone else stared at Luo Wen intently.
Rowan then briefly said his discovery, and the sea slapped his thigh: "Oh mom! Zhang Cheng's calf eats a fairy in the old sauerkraut jar! That's too much of a back! ”
Yun Yi hugged a pillow and said: "Judging from the existing information, it basically matches the conditions of the Standing Tai Sui, it seems that this ghost is very likely to be the Standing Tai Sui, and it is very tricky to deal with." We can put this aside for a while, but the biggest question in front of us is how to find it? ”
Hexiang looked at Luo Wen and said: "Team Luo, we should still start from the source and find out the origin of that clay pot, after all, there are not many people who can seal Tai Sui, although it is difficult, but it is the only clue." Moreover, the clay pot itself also gives us directions, and we should determine the scope of our search to the northeast. ”
The monkey frowned and asked Rowan while gnawing on the dead skin on his fingers, "Go to the Northeast next?" ”
"Go to the Northeast!" Rowan nodded and replied.
After hearing this, the sea was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Rowan in one step, Rowan subconsciously wanted to resist, but the strength of the sea was surprisingly large, and he kissed Rowan on the face, and then shouted happily to everyone: "Come to my house, the sauerkraut stewed white meat tube is enough!" ”
