Chapter 69:
Just as Wang Yao's head was shaking, I was keenly aware that there was a "thing" under the neck of this goods. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't a pillow, it was hidden behind Wang Yao's neck.
Curious and wary, I reached out and lifted Wang Roar's head lightly, pulling the thing out from under his neck.
Immediately after, I looked at the "guy" in my hand, and my face instantly froze.
At the same time, I also realized the seriousness of the problem, and I also knew that the "food curse" in Wang Roar's body was probably not as simple as I imagined.
So at this moment, what I hold in the palm of my hand is actually ...... A "white-faced doll" with Wang Roar's name written on it.
Someone, when Wang Yao was unconscious, put down this doll on the back of his head, a face doll with his name written on it.
At this time, the white-faced doll had been flattened by Wang Yan's neck, its limbs were twisted, as if laughing and crying, its face was hideous, its two blood-red eyes were still clear, staring at me in a daze, there was an indescribable sense of gloom.
On the belly of the white-faced doll, two bean-sized Chinese characters are written in pine ink - "Wang Roar".
I looked at the face of the doll, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of horror in my heart, and after the horror, there was anger and a cruel smile!
Is it a noodle doll again?
In the face of this doll, he must have reminded me of the old lady who was dressed in black and called the white-faced doll "son" in her hand for the first time.
Because of the appearance of that old lady, my old squad leader's deceptive corpse became a dry corpse, and because of the appearance of this old lady, I was plotted by Li Douniu and the cat formation, and I almost died.
In short, in Zhao's house, except for the Heaven Breaker who was already suspected by me, it was this old lady who was the most elusive and incomprehensible.
Why did she mess up my old squad leader's funeral? Why do you always have a white-faced doll in your hand? Do you still call him a son?
The most important thing is that she has targeted the Zhao family several times, what is the purpose!
Just when I was deep in thought, and I don't know how long it was, the bedroom door was pushed open by Zhao Shuihe.
She walked in and shouted at me, "Your girlfriend is good to you, you have to cherish ......"
Halfway through Shuihe's words, he saw the noodle doll in my hand.
A light smile on her face...... Also suddenly stiffened.
I looked at her for a moment, then went straight to the point, "What exactly is a 'food curse'?" ”
The concept of eating spells was the first thing I heard from the "four-eyed ladyboy" Lao Nineteen. I only know that this kind of "curse" can make people unconscious or die, and it is a very powerful "curse", and this kind of curse does not come from any Taoist priest or Gu woman, it is a "dark rule" that the cooks of the Five Organs Temple are good at using.
But I don't know what it is.
Since Zhao Shuihe once swore to me that she could cure Wang Roar's "curse", then she should know that she should fulfill her promise.
Zhao Shuihe looked at my serious expression, and couldn't help but be infected by me, she gently closed the door of the hut, leaned against the door frame, took out her coin, and while tumbling, she thought about the gap before saying to me:
"Food mantra is a general term, and the 'Gu', 'poison', 'medicine', 'supplement' and even 'strategy' related to food that we are familiar with can all be regarded as a kind of mantra. In fact, the food curse is a kind of "fire language", which refers specifically to the "food" used to make money and kill people. ”
That kind of food is not for people to eat, but a tool for profit, or even for killing.
So, they are "spells"!
At first, the origin of the "food mantra" was very mixed, but the main source was the "Shennong Baicao Sutra".
Legend has it that in ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong's daily herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons, and sacrificed his life to identify drugs and delicacies that could be used to cure diseases and sustain life for the Chinese people.
Before Shennong's death, he compiled his life's experience into China's first medicinal book "Shennong's Hundred Herbs", leaving a legacy for future generations. And the people who practice the study of herbs have gradually become the two professions we are familiar with - "Chinese medicine" and "cook".
I wondered, "In other words, Chinese chefs and Chinese medicine practitioners are actually two melons growing on the same vine?" ”
Zhao Shuihe nodded, and told me that in ancient China, there was a saying called "medicine and food are of the same origin", which means very simply, that is, many foods can be used as medicinal herbs, and many medicinal herbs may also be used to eat. This theory is very popular among Chinese medicine and cooks, and it has endured for a long time.
I nodded, knowing that.
Then Zhao Shuihe officially told me about the so-called eating spell and its history.
She said that because of the homology of medicine and food, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the cooking industry was formed, a group of "cooks" with ulterior motives rediscovered this "special" use of food based on their own cooking experience.
These uses, of course, are to kill people and make money.
These people were very bold, and they were attached to the powerful at that time, and they also had some power.
Therefore, with the support of their masters, they experimented on slaves and prisoners of war, and carried out deep "development" of the special use of food, and then formed a special ability to poison, kill, use tricks, and even divination with food.
These skills are collectively known as eating spells.
The emergence of the "eating curse" was quickly welcomed by the ruling classes of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because they found that the people who had mastered the spell eater were extremely strange and efficient, and they were good helpers in their intrigue and assassination.
For this reason, these cooks who have mastered the food mantra are called "dark cooks", and "cooks" means cooks.
To put it bluntly, they are assassins who evolved from cooks.
This organization is the first organization composed of cooks in Chinese history, and it can even be said that they are the predecessor of the Five Organs Temple.
Speaking of which, Zhao Shuihe emphasized a sentence: "Because of the age, the organizational structure, the principle of doing things, and who the leaders are no longer known." All I know is that after the formation of the 'Secret Clan', they quickly split, and they gradually became co-opted by the monarchs of various countries, forming small hills one after another. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuihe sighed and said: "After the end of that era, the 'dark secrets' have become history, but their curses have been consciously preserved by generations of ruling classes, and have been used in many famous palace coups since then. ”
After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, I asked with some disbelief: "What you said is mysterious enough, why haven't I heard my squad leader say that there is such an assassination organization composed of cooks?" ”
Zhao Shuihe didn't answer me directly, but asked me: "Do you know 'Zhuan'?" ”
His words turned my suspicions into solemn thoughts.
I know that this man is one of the five great assassins of ancient times, he is fierce, and his greatest feat is to kill the king of Wu with a "fish intestine sword" hidden in the belly of a grilled fish during the banquet. The courage of his people and the absolute strength of his work are terrifying.
Therefore, I asked Zhao Shuihe: "I know, the warrior who killed King Wu with the 'fish intestine sword', don't accuse me that he is a secret person!" This plot is too bloody. ”
Zhao Shuihe still smiled and replied to me: "Of course he is not, but don't you feel that there is a problem with that period of history?" ”
I shook my head, I'm not a historian, so I don't know what the problem is.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shuihe smiled, and then told me the "truth" she knew.
