Chapter 37: The Shriveled Corpse
Feng Lao thought for a while, and said: "I have heard of the wizard you want to find a long time ago, he lives in the depths of the mountains and forests of Dawen Town, he has a very strange temper, he only sees the people he wants to see, and he doesn't want to enter the door if he doesn't want to see it. In particular, he has a wealth of knowledge of hydrology and water conservancy, and he is well aware of the hydrogeological conditions of all rivers and lakes in the Huaihe River basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and is known as the water god and water monster. Dayu's water control is the use of Wu Zhiqi's suggestion plan, the original water control is the method of using water to block the earth, so it has not been able to cure the flood. Later, Dayu consulted Wu Zhiqi, Wu Zhiqi asked Dayu to use the method of "dredging", and told Yu the geological situation of each river and its critical places, the road map of the excavation, Dayu according to Wu Zhiqi's plan to cure the flood for many years. According to legend, wizards prayed and healed people, and the Yellow Emperor had a doctor Wu Peng, which was the beginning of the surname Wu, but the real origin is not yet known. ”
I nodded and smiled bitterly: "Well, I don't know much about this aspect, and Master hasn't told me about this, so it still depends on what you know." ”
Feng Lao immediately smiled proudly and said: "Although I don't know the specific origin and development of wizards, I also learned some by collecting some ancient records. Women can do things invisibly, and they also dance to the gods. and "Hanshu. "Serving the Ritual Chronicles": The essence of the people is not bad, Qi Xiao is smart, and the gods may descend to him. In the male said to be in the house, in the woman said to be the witch, so that the position of the gods, for the animals, can know the four times of sacrifice, up and down the mandala, the surname of the person who came out of the sect. The written record says that the witch is called the witch, and the male witch is called the witch and the witch, "Zhou Li, Chunguan, Shenshi": Whoever is a god will hold the law of Sanchen and show the residence of the ghosts and gods. "Gaiden" cloud: In men, it is said to be witches, and in women, it is called witches. The status of the god is in harmony with this text, so it is known that this god is a witch...... Words are said to be in men, witches are said to be witches, and men are yang, there are two names, famous witch and famous witch. The woman is yin, unchanged, the name is witch, and there is no name. ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Lao added: "This time you are looking for a male witch, but ...... The man is gone, what are you still looking for him for? ”
I rubbed my hands and said, "I can't tell, I always think he can give me some clues I want, some ...... A clue about the Lich. ”
"Lich?" Feng Lao's eyes opened, and he suddenly became interested: "Dare to love your kid to come to the northern Sichuan area to find a lich?" No wonder you are always mysterious, by the way, a while ago the Gansu archaeological team let me see a dried corpse of the Han Dynasty, tsk~~~ The clothes are all intact, and the forensic doctor has been examined many times to determine that there is no special treatment, but ...... Do you think such a supernatural phenomenon will become the lich you say? ”
"Huh?" I frowned, there are many ways to keep the corpse from being bad, the ancients used a peculiar spice to preserve the corpse, and there were also drugs or special places to preserve it, but if there are no measures to preserve it for thousands of years, it is naturally impossible, but Feng Lao's words have no meaning of deception, then it is difficult to say, the lich is commonly said to be a corpse demon, and the general corpse can become a corpse demon, and it is difficult to produce one in a thousand years, because not only must there be a special geographical aura environment, but also depend on its own situation, The combination of comprehensive factors can lead to the cultivation of a corpse demon by chance, or it is the method that he cultivated before he died that led to the subsequent transformation.
As soon as he heard that I was going to look for the Lich, Feng Lao was instantly excited, not only to show me the way, but also to talk to me along the way about some legends about the Lich that he knew, of course, all of which were the history of the Lich.
However, Feng Lao is old after all, and it is more than ten miles to find the wizard, but it is much more difficult to walk the mountain road, and it took us more than three hours to rush to the Dawen Town that Feng Lao said, Dawen Town, although it is also known as a town, there are not many people in it, and they are scattered, and the whole is a scattered village.
After inquiry, there was an old village chief in the local area who knew that we were looking for a wizard here, and immediately took us to the most magnificent and wealthy restaurant in Dawen Town for dinner.
"No one dares to go...... Who dares to collect the corpse? You didn't see it, that scene was enough to scare a cow to death! ”
The old village chief said vaguely, but we still understood, what he said about collecting corpses must have meant the corpses of the wizards they had here, and after speaking, the old village chief took another big sip of wine.
Feng Lao was stunned and asked, "Why don't you dare to go?" As far as I know, there is a very famous wizard here, although he has a strange temper, but he has indeed saved countless people, which is considered to be a benefit to one party, even if he can't be buried in a grand manner after his death, at least someone must collect the body, right? Also, what kind of scene are you talking about, brother? ”
The old village chief grinned after drinking, signaled that the wine was very spicy, and then glanced at Feng Lao: "Birds and beasts, within three days of the great wizard's death, they all rushed to the funeral, ouch...... The cave was surrounded by animal corpses, and the death was so horrible that even if we had the heart to go, we would not dare to come forward! ”
"Animal funeral?!" I looked at the old village chief in a daze.
The old village chief tilted his head: "Then what else!" I advise you to leave these evil things alone, because it won't be good for the great wizard to see that you are sincere and leave you behind! ”
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, the great wizard really has a spirit, he won't do that, and besides, those animal funerals may not have been done by the great wizard." ”
After hearing what I said, the old village chief rolled his eyes for a while, and whispered to Feng Lao, to the effect that "young people don't know the height of the sky...... Sooner or later, you will have to suffer...... "Yunyun."
After eating, seeing that we insisted repeatedly, the old village chief had to tell us the exact address, and we thanked the old village chief, and then went straight to the depths of the mountains and forests to search, and the old village chief said that, I am now more and more interested in this wizard.
Under a flat hillside, there is the entrance to a cave, and the entrance is blocked by a black wooden door, if we are not mistaken, then in front of us is the place where the old village chief said that the great wizard lived, of course! Because I also saw the so-called animal funeral mentioned by the old village chief, the scene in front of me made my pores all over my body instantly tighten, and my hair was numb, which ...... This is indeed an animal funeral!
There are hundreds of birds and beasts lying horizontally around the outside of the cave, and their death is thought to be instantaneous, the so-called instant death, that is, there is no sign of struggle, these birds, the wings are not extended, the beasts, the four hooves are tired, but like a voluntary death, these, these completely subvert my perception of animals!
Birds, beasts, and birds, but there is really everything, and there is not even a duplicate one, and ...... I bent over to examine the carcass of a monkey, which turned out to be shriveled and the others ...... Tigers, wild wolves, etc., the corpses are all equally shriveled, as if they have been drained of blood by something, it's so strange!
Feng Lao reminded in time: "Their eyes have all turned black, this is not in line with the phenomenon of normal death, the seventh day of the first month, will there be any formation like a thunder pool here?" ”
I glanced around and shook my head: "No, I'm afraid I have to go into the cave to have a look, by the way, Old Feng, for the sake of safety, you wait outside for a while, I'll go in first and touch it, there's no problem for you to go in again!" ”
As I spoke, I walked forward slowly and slowly pushed open the black door panel at the entrance to the cave......
"Squeak-"
