Chapter 36: Three Corpse Worms
Liu Gen felt as if his body had been struck by electricity, and several arc-shaped lightning bolts were produced on his body, this feeling of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart was encountered for the first time in his life, it was not the kind of pain that **, this terrible pain cut his heart, Liu Gen felt that his whole person had begun to scatter and crack......
"Poignant and earnest, the past is like smoke, I don't see you to make an appointment, I don't see you, wandering alone, but I look back on the bridge, tears are two, unwilling to go to Huangquan alone......"
Liu Gen opened his eyes in the faint singing, and he saw pavilions and pavilions, birds singing and flowers, and small bridges and flowing water...... A graceful familiar figure at the head of the bridge.
The earth and sky trembled rhythmically with the damp water all around, and the sky was so close to the ground. The poetry in front of him made Liu Gen feel that he was dreaming, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at the woman again, this look, Liu Gen's face suddenly turned pale, and in the process of looking at the woman, when Liu Gen's eyes swept over the bank of the river, he saw a blood-red flower, which was the flower on the other side.
"The white flower is called the mandala flower, and the red flower is called the manju sawa, one of the four flowers in the Lotus Sutra. In Japan, the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called the other side of autumn, and it is the day when Japanese people go to the grave. The flowers on the other side bloom during the autumn period, which is very punctual, so it is called the other side flowers.
The flowers on the other side, the flowers bloom on the other side, the leaves are not visible when they bloom, the flowers are not visible when there are leaves, the flowers and leaves do not see each other, and the birth is wrong. Legend has it that this flower blooms in large numbers on the Huangquan Road, which looks like a carpet paved with blood from a distance, and is also known as the "Fire Road" because of its red fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on the long Huangquan Road. They form a fiery red flower path to guide people to the other side of the Santu River, and people follow the guidance of this flower to the hell of the netherworld. ”
Looking at the gray and dim sky, Liu Gen seemed to realize something, there were a large number of flowers on the other side here, could it be Huangquan Road? Beads of sweat flowed down Liu Gen's forehead, and when his eyes moved to the bridgehead, his judgment had been confirmed, and the words "Naihe Bridge" appeared on the stone pier at the bridgehead.
Liu Gen had mixed feelings, and he was even more unwilling, did he come to Huangquan in such a daze, and he must drink that bowl of Meng Po soup on the way to Huangquan, and then he would forget all the things in this life, and the truth he had been looking for all his life and the "great cause" that was enough to change the world disappeared like this? No, that's not what I'm looking for!
Liu Gen was in this frightening, but something happened on the woman's side, a man came from a distance from the flowers, Liu Gen looked carefully, it was the lover that the woman had conjured up before, and as the man approached, two lines of tears flowed from the woman's eyes.
Liu Gen was also emotional, it seems that this time the woman finally met her lover on Huangquan Road, and the woman no longer has to create her own environment to deceive herself.
However, in an instant, all the scenery in front of Liu Gen's eyes suddenly turned into thousands of water droplets, and then merged into clouds and mist, and the heavy rain poured down from the sky, drenching the woman's clothes, the woman was stunned and did not dodge, her face was indifferent, as if nothing had happened, but Liu Gen saw two lines of blood and tears that were different from the rain.
The rain only lasted for a few tens of seconds, and then it quieted down, Liu Gen looked at the space again, and found that there was some mud under his feet, and when he looked down, it turned out to be pasty flour soaked with water, the edge of the space was folded and layered, and the whole space was bag-like, wet and a little stuffy. Liu Gen suddenly realized that this was in the digestive system of some kind of creature. Are we being devoured? It seems that today there is no escape.
However, even if the woman reached this state, she continued to use any matter around her to create that illusion, so you can imagine how obsessed she has become.
When Liu Gen was thinking, he suddenly felt the folds around him shrink inward suddenly, and then he was sucked up by a strong suction force, and flew away, and then Liu Gen began to fall again, and fell on the flour with a poof, Liu Gen did not feel any pain.
When he turned around, Liu Gen saw the woman standing behind him. When Liu Gen was about to carefully observe the situation around him, his eyes suddenly widened, and the flour around him actually floated up, and then gradually formed a small bridge and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions...... A young man walked over from the bridge......
Liu Gen saw the process of women's creation with his own eyes this time, just like computer construction 3D software, and even surpassed.
Liu Gen turned to look behind him again, and the corners of the corpse insect's mouth moved slightly, as if the face with a human expression showed a little helplessness.
Liu Gen sorted out his nerves slightly, looking at the situation, he was able to enter this "soul locking insect bowl", it must be that the soul and the body have been separated, the light he saw just now is most likely who opened the lid on the bowl, the light of the yang world after the soul leaves the body has an absolutely destructive effect on the magnetic field at the cathode, and at the time of crisis, the corpse insect swallowed himself and the woman into his belly, avoiding the disaster. No wonder there is a corpse worm in the "Soul Locking Worm Bowl", it turns out that it plays a role in protecting the soul in case of emergencies, so this corpse worm will live for at least a thousand years.
For thousands of years, in this small bowl, if it were oneself, it would definitely not be able to endure this loneliness. But isn't that woman always in this bowl like this, and has been recreating the realm all the time.
Liu Gen felt the urge to cry in his heart, whether he was moved, sad, or desperate, Liu Gen himself couldn't tell the difference.
The corpse insect is a physical creature, it lives in this yang world, and it will not be afraid of the light of the yang world, and the corpse insect that has passed through the Gu can easily attach the soul to its body, and it has become the medium of the yin and yang worlds, and the light just now must have opened the lid, if, if you can use the corpse insect to escape and return to your body, maybe you can return to the world again, Liu Gen has a glimmer of hope in his heart.
As the saying goes, people have words, and beasts have beasts, Liu Gen wants to tell his thoughts to the corpse worms, but communication is an obstacle. This is the first problem, and even if the corpse worm understands its intentions, it is still a question of whether it will help itself.
Liu Gen thought about it and couldn't come up with any way, and sat on the ground in frustration. I don't know how many hours have passed, but Liu Gen's soul has begun to adapt to the restraint of not having a body, and has begun to learn to control its actions, no longer losing its autonomy due to the changes around it, and it has begun to hear the subtle sounds around it, and its visual senses have become sharper.
As his senses intensified, the heaven and earth in Liu Gen's eyes were different from what he had seen before, as he saw the patterns on the inner wall of the bowl in the distance.
Liu Gen walked over, carefully identified and observed the pattern, and couldn't help but be very surprised, this pattern was very similar to one thing, that is, the human brain.
The entire inner wall is covered with brain structure lines, and there are wires connecting to each other. Some of the lines near the bottom were covered with flour, Liu Gen stretched out his hand to brush off the flour on it, and at the moment when his hand touched the wall of the bowl, Liu Gen heard a voice from behind, yes, it was an old woman's mutter: "Poor child, poor child"
Liu Gen turned around to find the source of the voice, and there was no shadow of anyone except the woman who was still building the environment alone. There was a swishing cool air behind Liu Gen, could there be a ghost? But on the other hand, now that I have left my soul, can't I also be called a ghost, and what is there to be afraid of ghosts?
After his eyes roamed around and found no one or ghosts, Liu Gen turned around again, and then rubbed the flour with his hands, but just as his hands touched the lines, the old woman's murmur came from behind him: "Another poor person"
Liu Gen turned around abruptly, and his eyes were still empty, except for the woman and the corpse worm, there was nothing that could give rise to human voices.
Liu Gen went to brush the flour on the bowl wall for the third time, but his eyes peeked behind him secretly under the cover of his sleeves, but Liu Gen still didn't see anything, but the voice sounded eloquently when his hand touched the bowl wall: "Child"
How is it incomplete when speaking? Is it true that if I touch the bowl wall, I press the play button? Does this bowl have a recording storage function? It's incredible!
Liu Gen tried to touch, leave, touch, and leave his hand a few times, and his voice was indeed intermittent with the movement of his hand.
Thousands of years of antiquities can have such high technology, it seems that his "broad and profound" of ancient China is still at the level of subjective understanding.
"Child, thank you for taking care of me during that time"
"Don't look for it, I'm talking to you"
"I'm right behind you"
Liu Gen realized that the voice seemed to be talking to him. Just as he was about to turn around, the voice of an old woman sounded behind him: "Don't leave the wall of the bowl with your hands"
Really talk to yourself!
Being able to speak in a situation is definitely not the effect of recording.
"Who are you?" Liu Gen asked tentatively.
The old man's voice immediately responded: "I am the three corpse worms behind you"
What the! Three corpse insects, Liu Gen couldn't believe it. The three corpse insects are legendary things, Taoism believes that there are three corpses in the human body, also known as three insects, three Peng, also known as Qinggu, Baigu, and Xuegu. The name of the upper corpse is Peng Ju, a good treasure, the name of the middle corpse is Peng Zhan, good five flavors, and the name of the lower corpse is Peng Jiao, good **. Moreover, the upper corpse lives in the brain palace, the middle corpse lives in the Ming Hall, the lower corpse lives in the abdomen and stomach, and the three corpses often live in the human body, which is the root cause of ** and the evil demon that poisons the human body.
Liu Genzu is a Taoist disciple, and there are many Taoist classics in his family, and he is of course very clear about the concept of "three corpse insects", but understanding is understanding, and no one has ever seen the real three corpse insects. So much so that everyone thinks that the "Three Corpse Worms" is just a legendary myth, and the Taoists are just making it up out of thin air.
"Are you really a three-corpse worm?" Liu Gen's suspicions are not unreasonable, the modern anatomy of the human body has been extremely delicate, except for the acupuncture points identified in traditional Chinese medicine have not found the physical existence, the others have not been hidden, and even the bacteria that are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye are clearly seen by the microscope, such an entity insect, there is no reason why modern medicine cannot find it.
"That's right, I'm the three corpse worms in the human body, but I originally existed in the human body in an invisible state, and I still lived in this woman's body more than a thousand years ago" The old woman's voice was a little silent.
Liu Gen felt more and more that his head was a little insufficient, and he could only hear the insect speak human language when his hand touched the lines of the bowl wall; The three corpse worms really exist; The three corpse insects can exist independently from the human body; The three corpse worms can live for thousands of years......
The old woman's old voice then sounded: "Originally, I existed in the human body, I would be born and die with the human body, mainly in the human brain, I would sense the thoughts of the human body, and I would change my mode of action with the real state of mind of the parasitic mother, for example, the mother's human body was addicted to * evil, I would create all kinds of * evil scenes for her, such as the mother's heart tends to be cruel and perverted, I will create cruel scenes in her brain accordingly, and then make the mother more evil and greedy."
The more Liu Gen listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more he didn't understand, and he couldn't help asking, "Why are you doing this?" There is a way to repay good and evil, why don't you help the mother to do good? ”
The old woman's sneer faintly came: "Haha, hahaha, everything must be done in the world, for evil and not evil, for good and not good, good and evil are nothing, and they create their own hearts"
Liu Gen couldn't fully understand the headless words of the corpse worm, but he seemed to think that there was some truth in what it said.
"I was put in this corpse worm by the Gu caster, and it has replaced the corpse worm's own control, and the purpose here is to protect the 'Green Willow', to be precise, to prevent her from self-destructing the original god, but now it seems that she will not self-destruct, because she is obsessed with her own illusion and can no longer extricate herself, and she has been happy to repeat it for thousands of years, alas, poor child"
Liu Gen's opinion is completely different from that of the three corpse insects: "This is too cruel, it's better to break it."
"Broken? Hehe, if she breaks it, I will also be destroyed, this is the key to this Gu technique, so I can only protect her with all my heart, which is equivalent to protecting myself"
I'm still a little puzzled: "Isn't it true that all the people who have not been tricked also have a death period, if the person dies, won't the three corpse insects also perish, your fate is like this, why earn time?" It is right to conform to the laws of heaven and earth."
When the corpse insect heard me say this, he shook his huge head, and then looked at the green willow, and there was a lot of sadness in his words: "The problem is that when we are one, we will not sense that we can exist independently, and it is natural to live and die with the host, there is nothing wrong with it, our life in the human body is actually a life of honing the host's heart, not what you think, you all think that we are seducing the host to do bad things, that is just the superficiality of your view of things, if you want to return to the nature of the human heart, there is no obstacle training from us, You will never be able to see where you come from. ”
It was the first time Liu Gen had heard different claims about the Three Corpse Worms, and all the previous books had recorded negative claims about it.
The corpse worm ignored Liu Gen's surprise, and then said: "I know you still have questions, obviously because of the ** of the three corpse worms, which caused many people to fall, isn't this evil?" Isn't it? ”
Liu Gen really wants to say this. It seems that the three corpse insects have already figured out what humans think.
Without waiting for Liu Gen to reply, the corpse insect continued to take care of himself: "This is the pedantry of your human beings again, you only divide good and evil on the surface, and you can't see the many connections behind it, for example, I seduce people in the human body to produce all kinds of **, it seems that I am evil, but in fact, I am just helping human beings to disperse and eliminate the real evil, so that the long-term accumulation of evil will cause your own catastrophe." Without our constant interference, you will never see your true evil, and your mind will always be in the self, and you will never be able to talk about cultivation, let alone escape from the solid cycle of samsara."
Liu Gen's head is a little big, as if his brain has been stuffed with something different, these theories and his original outlook on life are impacting, and he can't turn around for a while, and there is a kind of stinging pain in his nerves that beats like a hedgehog.
The corpse worm didn't care about Liu Gen's painful expression at all, and still chattered: "I, maybe I am one of the few people who have been separated from the host's body, and can exist independently of the human body, and no longer be controlled by others, do you think, can I not cherish this opportunity!" Even after a thousand years of waiting here, I've been hoping to really get out of here."
Liu Gen was puzzled and said: "You have the body protection of the corpse worm, you can find an opportunity to leave."
The corpse worm let out a hehe sneer: "Hehe, I can only exist in this body when I go out with this dignity, I have been tricked, and I can only survive in this corpse worm"
"So what are you waiting for?" Liu Gen was even more confused.
The corpse worm's eyes turned twice, and the corners of his mouth curved upward: "Because I discovered the secret of this bowl, do you know why you and I can understand each other's words, no, not words, to be exact, I can sense each other's thoughts"
As soon as the corpse insect reminded him, Liu Gen remembered that his hand was still in contact with the bowl wall, right, why could he only sense the corpse worm's words when he touched the lines on the bowl wall?
The voice of the corpse insect once again came to Liu Gen's ears: "The lines on this bowl can connect yin and yang and communicate the six paths, if it only makes us understand each other's language, it is not enough to call it a secret."
Is there any other sensational effect? Liu Gen admitted that he couldn't make inferences at all, since he found out that he appeared in the bowl, scenes were staged that he couldn't understand, and the wisdom that usually surpassed ordinary people was like an idiot, these were not things in his mind at all, how could the summer insect know winter!
The voice of the corpse insect sounded to himself: "In this you can replace the body, the soul can enter and exit freely, as long as there is a humane flesh and blood real body, I can enter, and I can control this body, this and my previous existence in the human body are two completely different concepts, the previous initiative is the human mind, I just play a subtle auxiliary role, now I have my own soul after separation, so the body controlled by me will completely listen to me"
Liu Gen was very surprised in his heart, Liu Gen couldn't tell the truth from the things that the three corpse insects said before, if it was really as the corpse worm said, the three corpse insects were honing people's minds and helping people in the end, which was fine, but if it was harming people at all, but made up pretended esoteric excuses for its own behavior, then after it went out, it had its own initiative, would it bring mankind into a disaster?
