Chapter 22: Corpse Technique
Zhai Bo didn't show much surprise at the cheap outside the door, as if he had long known that the cheap was eavesdropping outside the door, and he said lightly: "Since you have heard it, come in." β
The cheap guy walked in, and before he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did you mean when you said that I was pure yin?" β
Zhai Bo smacked a puff of dry cigarette and said: "You were born when the moon and the sun were cloudy, and you are pure yin, and it is also the most taboo character to be Mr. Yin and Yang, because people with pure yin and eight characters are very easy to bump into evil." If you're not careful, you'll be possessed by demons. β
"No wonder you fell to the ground and had a convulsion as soon as we walked near that land temple last night!" It dawned on me.
Zhai Bo was slightly stunned: "What? Could it be that the cheap child was already ...... last night, I said how did I think his face was a little wrong at the time, and you still said that he was tired of running! Tell me, what was the situation at that time? β
I realized that I had slipped my mouth, but at this point, I had to tell the truth, and tell me all about the evil that I had done last night and how I had helped him resolve it with my child's urine.
Originally, I thought that Uncle Zhai would reproach me for spilling urine on the cheap face, but after listening to me, instead of scolding me, he nodded approvingly: "I know how to use children's urine to dissolve ghosts, it's not bad!" If it weren't for your pee, I'm afraid the wouldn't have recovered so quickly. β
After getting Uncle Zhai's affirmation, I felt proud in my heart, but it was not a taste, he glared at me, and said angrily: "Don't think this is the end of this, I can remember it!" β
I laughed and said, "Hehe, okay, the next time I hit the evil spirit, you can also sprinkle a bubble on my face, and I will drink beer." β
"Then don't wait for next time, you can take a sip now!" β¦β¦
The two of us were joking, and Uncle Zhai interrupted us and asked me with a frown: "You just said that there was a big black cat that pounced on the cheap child at that time?" β
"Yes! It scared the rest of the way! I didn't expect a cat to dare to take the initiative to attack people, and I was still wondering if it was a sperm. β
"Nope! It's not attacking the cheap, but attacking the dirty things that invade the cheap's body, black cats are spiritual creatures, and they can see things that are invisible to the human eye, so some exorcists specialize in raising black cats. It's a pity that this black cat didn't encounter an ordinary evil thing, so it lost its life, I didn't expect that thing to have been cultivated so quickly. β
"What are you talking about?" I was confused.
"Didn't you just ask me why the boss specifically told you two not to go to the vicinity of that land temple when he was leaving?" Zhai Bo did not answer directly, but asked me rhetorically.
I hurriedly said, "Yes, it stands to reason that Li Fangtian's body has been cremated, and that evil stone has also been taken away by Uncle Shi, so what else is there to worry about?" β
Zhai Bo smacked a puff of dry smoke: "That's right! However, the real power thing is actually hidden under the ground! β
"What! And there's something down there? I was taken aback, and my eyes widened.
"You must have noticed the maggots on the table when you walked in the door."
I nodded: "See, when I was in the cemetery, I also heard my uncle talk about it, saying that that thing is called fragrant corpse maggots, eating carrion corpses, and pulling fragrant, which is really disgusting." β
"Do you know how such a weird thing came about?"
"How?"
"Hehe, don't be scared when you two say it, this thing was raised by Li Fangtian, and moreover, it was raised after he died!"
"Huh!?" I shouted in unison.
Zhai Bo took a puff of dry tobacco and continued: "Although this fragrant corpse maggot is called maggot, it is not a maggot, it is only named because of its similar appearance, in fact, it is a very rare parasitic Gu worm. It is a social species, and its living habits are quite similar to bees, and there is a female Gu in its group, which is equivalent to the queen bee in the colony, and the common maggot is equivalent to the worker bee, but it does not collect honey, but the sperm blood in the host. The incense corpse maggot burrows into the host's body and controls the host's behavior, the purpose is to kill the host, and then absorb the essence blood in the host to feed the mother Gu. β
Hearing this, I suddenly realized: "The corpses of those large numbers of rats were all killed by fragrant corpse maggots!" β
Zhai Bo nodded: "Rats are one of the most important hosts of fragrant corpse maggots, because there are many rats, and they coexist underground with fragrant corpse maggots, so they can easily be invaded by fragrant corpse maggots. β
"You just said that these fragrant corpse maggots were raised after Li Fangtian died, what is the matter?" Cheap asked.
Zhai Bo replied: "When Li Fangtian died, he committed suicide by caesarean section, and at that time everyone didn't understand why he chose such a painful death, until today, when the boss saw those fragrant corpse maggots, he understood that he put a female Gu into his body and used his own corpse to raise this female Gu." In this way, his soul would eventually merge with the Mother Gu. This is a thaumaturgy that originated in Miao Jiang and is called Corpse Gu Technique. β
"According to what you say, this Li Fangtian committed suicide just to become a maggot?" Cheap thinks it's a little incredible, "Haha, I can understand it that way." Zhai Bo smiled.
"Is this guy sick, he doesn't do it if he puts a good haode person, but he wants to be a maggot!" Cheap sighed.
Zhai Bo said: "He did this to take revenge on society. β
"Revenge on society? He has become maggots, how can he take revenge? β
"Ordinary incense corpse maggots do not threaten human beings, because they can't see yang energy, and they will die when they encounter yang energy. However, after that female Gu absorbs a large amount of essence, it will be cultivated into a Gu essence, this Gu essence is not afraid of yang energy, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will come out and harm people. β
"How can Gu spirits harm people?"
"Gu spirits will take the initiative to attack people, and implant Gu eggs into the human body, and after those Gu eggs hatch into Gu worms, they will enter the human brain, making people become a walking corpse controlled by Gu worms, and when they come to Zuihou, people will be sucked up by Gu worms and die, just like that pile of dead mice."
"Ahh I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a long time, and then we realized what a disaster we had done, and we were remorseful, but Uncle Zhai said: "Actually, thanks to you for cutting down that peach tree." β
I was slightly stunned and puzzled: "Why? Didn't we cut down the peach tree to make these things? β
"That's right! However, it is not a good thing that these things are exposed sooner. Because once that female Gu cultivated into a Gu essence, the peach tree could no longer suppress it. If you wait until that time to deal with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and if you don't get it right, you will kill people. β
"Now that Li Fangtian's body has been cremated, does it mean that the female Gu has also been burned to death?"
Uncle Zhai shook his head: "Originally, the boss also thought so, but after Li Fangtian's body was picked up, the boss found that his stomach was empty, and there was no trace of the mother Gu." β
"Where did it go?"
"The female Gu has a very strong ability to escape the soil, so it must have escaped, but it will not run away, it must still be around there, which is why the boss won't let you two go there again."
"So, aren't the surrounding villagers in trouble?" I couldn't help but worry about the fat man, because he passed by there every day on his way to school.
"The mother Gu has not yet cultivated into a Gu essence, so she shouldn't dare to come out and harm people, but when you pass by there at night, you still have to be careful, because the maggot group that helped it collect essence qi has been burned along with the coffin, so it has to forage for food on its own now. Although it can't implant Gu eggs into the human body, its saliva contains highly poisonous, and as long as the prey is bitten by it, it will be unconscious within a few moments, and then it will slowly suck the prey's essence and blood. β
Hearing Uncle Zhai say this, I immediately thought of the big black cat, no wonder when I saw it today, its body was already shriveled, it turned out that it was sucked dry by the female Gu. But if you think about it carefully, the black cat is so big, how can a maggot suck its essence and blood dry, then it can't break its belly!
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth and asked, "How big is that female Gu?" β
Zhai Bo said: "It's hard to say. According to the book, if it turns into a Gu essence, it can be the size of a domestic cat, but I have seen one before, which is only the thickness of the mouth of the bowl and more than a foot long, and it was found in a corpse of Chen that has been fifty or sixty years old. β
"It took fifty or sixty years to grow so big, and Li Fangtian had been dead for twenty or thirty years, so this female Gu would be half a foot long at most, how could it suck up the blood of a big black cat." I was confused.
Zhai Bo said with a smile: "Hehe, because after the mother Gu inhales the essence blood, her body can expand several times, just like a locust!" What's more, the size of this female Gu is probably much larger than you imagined, so let alone a cat, even if it's a cow, maybe it can suck it dry. β
"Ahh weishenmeοΌ "I was taken aback.
"Because of the stone."
"What's the matter with that stone?" I was more and more confused.
Zhai Bo said: "It is not an ordinary stone, but a soul stone, the soul stone contains a peculiar aura, this aura is similar to the essence of the human body, can be attached to it by lonely souls and wild ghosts, hence the name." The reason why Li Fangtian committed suicide by holding that stone, I guess he wanted to use the aura contained in the soul stone to replenish the essence of the mother Gu, and at the same time, he could also drive the lonely souls and wild ghosts attached to the soul stone to come out and harm people, which can be described as 'killing two birds with one stone'. β
"I see, the scumbag must have something to do with the lonely ghost in this stone last night." It dawned on me.
"No, it doesn't matter!" Zhai Bo nodded and continued: "Generally, a female Gu is domesticated into a Gu essence, and it will take a hundred years to say the least, but this female Gu is only twenty or thirty years old, but it is already able to forage for food on its own, I am afraid that in another three or five years, it will become a Gu essence, and the growth rate is so fast, presumably because it absorbs the aura of the soul stone." β
"So what to do with it?"
