Chapter 013: Hell Internship
To tell you the truth, the Taoist chief asked me, "Are you ready?" and I didn't know how to answer at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe hardships of the first three steps made me understand and fear; Now facing the most difficult fourth step, how can you not be afraid?
However, if it's not good, it's good, who called me a descendant of the Maoshan faction? I can only bite the bullet and say, ready.
Daoist Cangwu handed me a rag: "Take this in your mouth." ”
"What is this for?" I asked.
"Wait a minute, you're going to be in pain, and biting this cloth in your mouth will prevent you from biting your lip." Hearing him say that sent a chill down my spine. It seems that this level is indeed not easy.
The Taoist leader asked me to sit cross-legged on the bed, and then he sat down behind me, opened the rows of silver needles for acupuncture, and pierced them into my acupuncture points one by one. For a while, dozens of silver needles were densely inserted on my body and head, like a hedgehog.
It doesn't hurt at all to prick a silver needle, at most it's like an ant bite.
However, when the Taoist leader pressed his palms on my back and began to exert his work, I soon felt a sharp pain all over my body, as if I had been divided by five horses! I felt the flesh and skin on my body being torn apart little by little, and it was painful. I couldn't help biting the rags so hard that I was still convulsing in pain, sweating all over my body, and within a few minutes I was soaking wet.
This most intense suffering of my life has been overwhelming and endless...... Just when I was about to faint, the Taoist chief said sharply, "Hold on! It's a pinch, and you have to keep your head above water! ”
While exercising gong into my body, he explained: "I let you drink snake blood and cross the snow-capped mountain and flame mountain, and the purpose is for this - after several tosses, your body is full of true qi, and the yin and yang are balanced, and the meridians are open, which is exactly the state needed to open the yin and yang eyes!" ”
"In this state, if I impact with internal force, supplemented by silver needle puncture points, I can make your meridians unblocked, your qi and blood harmonized, and then go straight to the Baihui acupoint on the top of your head...... Hold on for a while, and you can break away from the yin and yang eyes! You've got to hold on! ”
Hearing him say this, I hurriedly stood firm and eliminated distractions.
When I was 6 years old, I happened to be struck by lightning, and instead of dying, I became a half-yin and yang-eyed with the help of the power of nature. But that's a coincidence, after all. And the half-yin and yang eyes can only see vague ghosts, that is, clusters of black shadows; This situation is like the yin and yang eyes of myopia.
And now, with internal strength and silver needles, the Taoist has cured my myopia, allowing me to clearly see the true face of the ghosts, and even distinguish the size and strength of their mana.
This may barely be explained by science: people walking in the vast desert can be tracked by artificial satellites because living people can emit heat, and the heat will be detected by the satellite's thermal imager; Conversely, it can also be said that the Yin and Yang Eye is a "cold imager" that can detect the yin energy emitted by ghosts.
……
I don't know how long the pain lasted, but I felt like it had been a century. Fortunately, the boundless sea of suffering is finally over, and the Taoist chief retracted his palms, pulled out the silver needles on my body, and said happily: "Okay! Succeed with flying colors! ”
He had a pair of triangular eyes shining with fine light, and then said, "Your yin and yang eyes have been opened, but in the future, you must use the breathing method every day to practice luck." When practicing, you must have no distractions, otherwise it is easy to go crazy. Insist on strengthening your internal strength a little bit every day! ”
I slumped limply on the bed, my eyes closed, and I didn't even have the strength to move my mouth.
The Taoist chief laughed: "You lie down for a while!" When you're relieved, I'll take a shower and I'll arrange another place for you to sleep, and this lesson is called 'Hell Practice.'" ”
Damn it? Still an internship? What is this thing? I couldn't speak, and I thought, what trick did the master come up with to toss me?
After lying groggy for an hour, I finally regained my breath and had the strength to move around. However, I couldn't even stand on my feet, so I could only pick up my clothes and go to the shower. The sharp pain just now made me sweat all over, and my body was already sticky.
After taking a shower, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. The chief of Cangwu Road waited outside the door with a kerosene lamp. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could see the white gas on his head!
Yes, the master is also a person with extremely high Xuandao talent, presumably, this is what he called the Taibai Qi, the same as the one on my head. My yin and yang eyes really worked!
Cangwu Dao Chang: "Come, bring the bed, and I'll take you to the sleeping place." ”
I struggled to hold a large mass of futon pillows and a kerosene lamp and followed him. As soon as the mountain wind blew, my mind cleared up all of a sudden, and I asked, "Master, aren't you sleeping in the Taoist temple?" How do you go to other hills? ”
The Taoist chief smiled slyly: "Wouldn't it be too comfortable to let you sleep in the side room?" Open the yin and yang eyes, just so that you can see what the ghost looks like! So, I'm going to take you to a mass grave right now and give you a hell internship. ”
"Huh?! Hell still have an internship? ”
"Of course. The ghosts you've seen before are all black shadows, and you won't be too afraid. Now that you're going to see them for what they are, you'll have to learn to overcome your fears. As a disciple of Maoshan, you have to catch ghosts, and if you want to catch ghosts, you must first not be afraid of ghosts! ”
He added: "Tonight, you will spend the night alone in the mass grave and practice your courage." ”
Hey, Mom! This Cangwu Dao is long, and the tricks of the whole person are too amazing, and it will come out again and again! I can't help but feel a tingling in my scalp. However, I also understand that he was me for my own good.
After turning left and right for a long time, I finally arrived. It was a dark valley, and the wind was gusting, and the leaves rustled. The valley is full of mounds of sealed earth of various sizes, as well as crooked tombstones and clumps of weeds.
My legs began to disobey me, and it was very difficult to take small steps.
And by this time, I already knew what the ghost looked like! Not far ahead, dozens of translucent guys with their feet off the ground were staring at me!
Some of them are hanged ghosts with long tongues; Some were wearing tattered military uniforms, and their jaws were knocked off by some murder weapon, leaving only a large blood hole, still dripping with blood; Some of the eyeballs were gouged out, leaving only two blood holes...... Others wore Qing Dynasty Jiangya sea clothes, or wide-sleeved cheongsam, or Hanfu - these should be ancient old ghosts of an earlier age.
I don't think I'm a timid person, I've watched a lot of horror movies before, and I'm not scared much, but now ...... Seeing a ghost on TV is a different thing from actually seeing a ghost.
The Taoist chief stopped and said, "I won't go, you can go and talk to them yourself." With that, he turned around and left.
My scalp was tingling and my heart felt like it was about to pop out of my throat. The dozens of ghosts looked at me, smiling or blank.
I picked a relatively flat floor, and while shaking to open the bedding and set up the quilt and pillows, I stammered, "Hello! Good evening......"
The ghosts remained silent, floating two meters away from me, in a circle, glaring at me, an uninvited guest.
I thought to myself: Damn, let's sleep, what's so good-looking? Don't you all have to sleep?
I tried to keep my hands from shaking too much, and patted the pillow. At this moment, the female hanged ghost with a long tongue came up to me and pressed her face to me!
I screamed, sat down on the floor, and moved a few feet back. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the ghost who was wearing a military uniform and had his jaw knocked off. I secretly complained, how can I spend tonight!
But at this moment, I could see clearly the military uniform on this ghost by the light of the kerosene lamp. I recognize that it is not the Eighth Route Army. My curiosity overshadowed my fear, so I asked, "Uncle Jun, how did you get your face?" Also, which unit are you from? ”
The ghost soldier was stunned, he didn't think I would ask this. It replied: "Young man, I am a subordinate of Wang Jun, commander of the 80th Division of the 27th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In 1941, I was captured by Little Japan, and they pointed a machine gun at my jaw and blew a third of my face off. ”
I don't know much about the War of Resistance Against Japan, but I've seen some documentaries about it before. I thought about it for a while and couldn't help but ask again: "History records that the 80th Army of the National Revolutionary Army was captured in Zhongtiao Mountain. But Uncle Jun, how did you get here in Mianshan? ”
The ghost soldier snorted, "History? How much truth does history have? -- If you talk to the old ghosts who live here, you will immediately realize how many fallacies there are in the history textbooks of your generation! ”
It actually makes a lot of sense. The victor will seize the country, and then he will order the deletion and correction of the words and theories that are not conducive to his own rule -- Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and Hong Xiuquan burned Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and Guandi temples, all for this reason.
In addition, with the passage of time, history will inevitably become more and more distorted, and there is no way to verify it.
I forgot for a moment that it was a ghost, forgot that I was afraid, and I was so excited to discuss the Battle of Mt. Nakajo with it. And this ghost, apparently having been in the valley for too long, was very bored, and now that I came to talk to it, I was naturally happy.
The other ghosts were also listening to it in fascination.
After listening to the ghost soldier's account of the tragic battle, I was in great respect, and I couldn't help but stand up straight and give it a standard military salute: "So you are a battle hero!" The ghost soldier was very happy when he heard this.
Then I saw an old man who looked like a eunuch, and although he was gray-haired and a little hunchbacked, he had a white face and few wrinkles, and he spoke softly and delicately. When asked, it turned out to be a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, who served Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of Jianwen!
I excitedly talked to it about the history of the Ming Dynasty. The ghost eunuch was also very happy, and it told me: In fact, Zhu Yunwen was not forced into the palace by Zhu Di and self-immolated as written in history; The truth is that Zhu Yunwen set fire to the palace, creating the illusion of self-immolation, and then quietly left the palace with gold, his family, and loyal servants.
……
After a long walk around the kerosene lamp, I even forgot about my fatigue. Obviously, tonight's encounter was an eye-opener for me.
However, the last words of the ghost soldier puzzled me very much. It said: "Brother Dao, your vocation is to subdue demons and subdue demons, but I advise you not to go to Zhongtiao Mountain, and it is best not to run into that thing in the mountain for the rest of your life!" ”
I hurriedly asked: Are there any powerful youkai in Nakajo Mountain? He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just feel that the aura of that thing is definitely not comparable to ordinary ghosts, and I don't dare to get close." ”
……
Late at night, I finally fell asleep.
In fact, people are the same as ghosts, people are divided into good and bad people, and ghosts also have good ghosts and evil ghosts. Criminals are in the minority, and most are law-abiding citizens; The same is true of ghosts, there are only a few ghosts who are vicious and cause trouble, and in most cases, they can live in harmony with others.
You see, the fear I had when I first saw a ghost has disappeared.
