Chapter 161: Jungle Taoism

Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "What Mr. Gu said is not unreasonable, when it comes to ghosts, what I have to say is the ghost house, that is, the murder house, this kind of house is usually uninhabitable, even if someone lives in it, it will often make trouble." There are also some houses that were originally good, but later the dead people did not deal with them well, and they will also become murderous houses.

According to Gu Lao, I can see the murder house as a sending station in a signal, because the formation of the yin house is often not only because of the evil ghosts, but usually the feng shui in these places is not good.

I can understand that the structure of the surrounding environment, such as the trend of the surrounding mountains, the direction of the house itself, the flow of water at the door, and the surrounding trees and stones, etc., are composed of feng shui, which by chance or non-accident form a signal amplifier to create the relevant conditions for the appearance of these ghosts. And under certain circumstances, the generation of a "grudge" may turn such a special place into a "haunted house". ”

"That's pretty much it." Gu Lao looked at Cha Wenbin with approval and said: "There are not many young generations of Taoists who learn Taoism, and there are even fewer people like you who are humble and not blind, Taoism is the essence passed down by Chinese ancestors, don't lose it, and don't get involved with superstition." ”

Cha Wenbin stopped talking after listening to it, and after struggling for a while, he still said, I think this sentence has been suppressed in his heart for a long time, he said: "Old Mr. Gu, a while ago we found a kind of dead corpse in this village, the Chinese call them zombies, I call them blood corpses." I used the Dao method to fight them, but the result was obviously not as good as the gun in Xiao Yi's hand, I was a little discouraged, the Taoist Yin and Yang spell seemed vulnerable in front of modern weapons. ”

Gu Lao was obviously interested when he heard the zombies, and he said: "Not long ago, a friend of mine found a cave with thirteen human skulls in the Semliki River in east-central Africa, and these skulls were all shattered, but the teeth of the skull obviously belonged to sharp canine teeth, and there was a pile of fossils with ashes next to it. My friend brought the fossilized ashes back to the lab for analysis, and the results showed that the ashes were all parts of the thirteen corpses. They saw paintings of human silhouettes on the stone walls of the cave, which were posed in a dangerous posture, and their eyes showed a kind of evil? The evil gaze. In its mouth is another human body. According to these clues, they found the wizards of the local tribe, and the wizard told them that these people are a kind of man-eating devils who will become stiff, bloodthirsty and fierce after death, and they were defeated and eliminated by the previous great wizards, do you see this is very similar to the zombies you said? ”

"Cannibalistic, stiff, ferocious, and fanged." Cha Wenbin said thoughtfully: "It is indeed very similar to the zombie we are talking about. ”

Professor Gu continued: "Not only that, but in Egypt in 1982, a British archaeologist found a mummy, which was a body that had been hollowed out and air-dried. The body was found outside an open crypt, curled in a corner and only partially decomposed. Thousands of scratches were scattered across the surface of the grave, as if the corpse had tried to dig a way out. The body was later brought back to the Royal College of Physicians, where forensic examination revealed that the scratches had been inflicted by the same entity over several years, and that it was the dried corpse. ”

Seeing that our eyes were wide-eyed, Gu Lao smiled and said: "The great navigator Hanno recorded in his voyage diary that he arrived at a cursed continent, where the people had teeth and claws, and they were invulnerable by day and night, and only seven of his thirty-five sailors survived in the end; There is also the Alexander Unknown Monument in Afghanistan, which clearly records a series of murders in which a person bites and then a person who bites; There are also records of at least six attacks by the same species in the desert as the Roman legions of Numidia 3,000 years ago. Attacks such as these have been recorded in ancient Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, but they were eventually destroyed by witchcraft, not human weapons. Brother Cha, with all due respect, your deeds may not be enough. ”

Cha Wenbin no longer made a sound, but fell into deep contemplation, he was only in his early twenties, which dynasty and which generation of famous Taoist priests are not all over half a hundred years old before they have the appearance of a fairy Dao bone, maybe he is really too young, Lu Dongbin is forty-nine years old and he is still decadent because of the failure of the college entrance examination.

The scenery along the way up the mountain is good, the human activities of Lion Peak are also on the tail of the reservoir, this Hongfeng Reservoir and then inside belongs to the category of almost no man's land, the most here are locusts and poisonous insects, I have been bitten a few times along the way, it is now the rainy season again, it is humid all around, and the person is more and more irritable.

Gu Lao's body is still very strong, and I, the only local, can not be regarded as a guide, so I can only follow the general direction, and I heard my father say that there will be an abandoned house twenty miles down the Hongfeng Reservoir, and I don't know who built it, or he used to hunt and see it when he was young, so we decided to spend the night there tonight.

When I arrived at about four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a house in the distance in a cedar forest. This is not better than mountaineering, climbing this kind of wild mountain is very tiring, the feet are almost soaked in the water for a day, find a place to rest is naturally enjoyable, but when you get closer, you find that something is wrong, this forest from time to time there is a half-human high stone statue, there are people with beasts, there are steps covered by fallen leaves and silt on the ground, this is not like the general mountain and wild people.

Looking at the house with the appearance of an attic on the first floor, a pattern of yin and yang Tai Chi was engraved on a piece ten times the height of one person at the door, Cha Wenbin's mind buzzed, could these rooms be a Taoist temple?

Counting them, there were seven rooms, three large and four small, all of which were made of brick and wood, and the whole complex was encased in a forest of cedar trees that did not rise to the top. There was a small stream passing through the building, and a path could be faintly seen by the stream, and the houses were ruined, two of the large houses and two huts had collapsed, and only three of the remaining houses, the big one, were barely able to make do, and the broken tiles and rotten lines of the roof showed that no one had been there for a long time.

There was a bronze padlock on the door of the big room, and the rusty patina seemed to tell an ancient story, and Cha Wenbin gently broke the chain without force, and the door that could not distinguish the color was slowly pushed open with a "creak".

A musty smell came to my face, and I saw a few rats scurrying around, and the house was littered with fallen leaves and ashes, and I could vaguely see a shrine and the three idols behind it.

Cha Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then walked in respectfully, knelt down on his knees and bowed to the three immortals who were already covered with cobwebs: "Disciple Tianzheng Sect Cha Wenbin, Sanqing Patriarch is above, and he is worshiped by the disciple." After that, "Dong Dong Dong" kowtowed to the ground three times, and I knew that what was enshrined here was the Taoist Sanqing, so it seems that this place must have been a Taoist temple undoubtedly.

Yuan Xiaobai looked up and down, covered his nose and said, "Can there be people here?" ”

Cha Wenbin glanced at Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu nodded to him, and he said: "Don't get in the way, you live in a tent at night, we will guard outside, when I was a child, I often lived in this kind of place with my master, this is a jungle Taoist temple, there is no owner, anyone can come." ”

There are two natures of Taoism's palace view: one is the descendant Taoist temple, and the other is the jungle Taoist temple. The former has a sect, which is passed down from generation to generation between master and apprentice, and other Taoist friends can stay overnight but cannot meddle in affairs; The jungle Taoist temple is different, it belongs to all the Taoist priests in the world, that is, the collective nature, all the French disciples of Taoism have the right to live and manage, when there are many people, they will have a voting meeting to elect the leader, it is ownerless.

After a simple tidying up, there is a small room at the back of this house, Cha Wenbin said that it should be a dormitory, so it will not be bothered as in the past, and it will be one night in this hall at night, because it looks relatively solid here.

Naturally, I don't have any opinions, the only tent is reserved for Yuan Xiaobai, and it's no problem for a few of us men to make do with it. The walls of this hall are transparent, and the walls are painted with images of gods of broken colors, and nothing else. There are not so many things to find fault when going out, Xiaobai and I have everyone's dinner, my mother prepared for us with the baked cakes and boiling water, after eating it was only five o'clock, I thought that there was no meat this night, but I was not addicted to it, so I proposed to get some game to make a tooth sacrifice.

Because it wasn't dark yet, Cha Wenbin didn't object, just let Ye Qiu and Dudu follow me to take care of him, I saw that the guy ignored my expression, and resolutely pulled the dumb with a rope noose and said: "Just follow the old one, forget the second one, I can not move, just go around here, and come back before dark." ”

Dumb and a little reluctant, I even coaxed and beat it to get it out, this dog was trained by my father, to the forest is a good hand, on the way to the road I noticed that there are a lot of yellow muntjac feces nearby, this thing is my favorite.

All I had to do was walk along the stream, and the presence of dogs was even more powerful, but I was not very lucky that day, and I only caught a hare, and when I came down the hill I found myself lost......

I walked along the damn stream, both up and down, and I hadn't gone far, and by the time I realized that I had gone down more than I had gone up, it was already dark, but I didn't find out where the temple was.
