I wanted to turn on the lamp and watch the meeting again, but while I was thinking in the dark, I fell asleep unconsciously, and by the time I woke up in a daze, the sun was already shining through the window. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the table, it was already past ten in the morning.

I didn't get up immediately, but lay down on the bed, seriously recalling all the amazing stories I had seen in the professor's book last night. Those stories are vivid, as if they have really happened, and the professor's writing is too vivid, maybe I am too involved in watching it, anyway, those plots, as well as the expressions of those characters, are deeply imprinted in my memory, as if these things have been experienced by myself, so real.

I hurriedly went to the table and touched the book, wanting to read it again and see what happened next. Because I remember clearly last night where the book was placed, when I touched it with my hand, my eyes didn't look at it at all, but when my hand touched the expected position, I didn't touch anything!

I was shocked, and I quickly turned over and sat up, and looked at the table, to my great surprise, the book was not on the table! In fear and panic, I desperately searched for the book, not on the bed, on the table, on the floor, there was none! Could it be that some mysterious person, or something even more terrible, stole the book while I was sleeping? Thinking of this, I felt like I was covered in sweat and my eyes exploded, and I was covered in a cold sweat.

I kept reassuring myself in my heart: I must have misremembered last night, the air conditioning was on in my house, the doors and windows were all aluminum alloy, and they were very well closed, and I checked carefully, all the doors and windows were still tightly closed, and they were all locked from the inside, and there was no sign of anything coming in at all.

I searched and searched, only to find out later that it was a false alarm, and it turned out that the book had fallen between the desk and the wall. Probably my mischievous cat did it, because he loves to play with anything with his paws. A lot of the things on my desk are often kicked to the floor at night.

I quickly pulled the table out and pulled the book out. When I took it out, I saw a page that I had turned by chance, and it read the following paragraph:

What is the most feared thing in this world? It's a ghost. Why are you afraid of ghosts? Because all "ghosts" are "irregular shapes" of people, this kind of "irregular state" of people is actually a freak of people, and it can also be said that the prototype of ghosts is a kind of "freak" a kind of person who looks very irregular. Man's fear of ghosts is man's fear of freaks.

In fact, people's fear of freaks is very conducive to the survival and evolution of human beings. Freaks, all with congenital defects, are the "defective products" of human beings, and the fear of human beings for this form ensures that people can find ways to avoid this "defective products" as much as possible in the process of evolution, so as to maintain the healthy development of human groups.

I don't know if he's right or not, but I think it's funny.

I quickly flipped through a few pages to find the place I saw last night, and read on. I really want to know, what happened to the old eunuch who entered the cave and didn't come out? Did Zhao Meng and his wife go to the cave to save him?

But what makes me strange is that the professor didn't know why, and he stopped writing abruptly, as if he was deliberately trying to leave a suspense. I don't know where he read these stories, or if he heard them from others, but I suspect that they should be recorded in local chronicles or other sources.

However, the professor also mentions this incident in the supplementary part after the end of this story:

During a period of time in the early Han Dynasty, in a mountain village dozens of miles away from this valley, many people had seen a monster, which was said to be shaped not like any animal, but like a fetus.

It is said that the first person who saw this monster was an old man. This old man usually gets up very early in the morning, and will carry a dung basket to the mountains to pick up some animal manure as fertilizer for farming, which is a habit that old men in the countryside generally have in the past.

This day was no exception, as soon as it was dawn, he began to wander around the village. As people get older, their senses become shorter, so the old man basically gets up at dawn every day. Before the night completely fades, I start picking up dung. In the village, he was one of the first to get up.

When he approached the boulder at the east end of the village, in the misty morning light, he seemed to see what seemed to be blood, and as if there was an animal eating something.

Recently, a lot of chickens in the village have been lost, and people think that it must be a weasel or fox in the mountains who did it, and they got into the trap, but it still has no effect, and what should be lost is still lost. So the old man decided that it must be a weasel, or a fox, etc., and he wanted to creep over and attack the animal with his shovel.

But as he got closer and closer, he felt that something was more and more wrong, that animal, no matter how it looked, did not look like a weasel or a fox, when he got close enough, and by the brighter and brighter morning light, he looked closely, he finally saw clearly what a weasel or a fox was, but a fetus that did not look fully developed, but the horror was that this fetal-shaped monster, not only moved quickly, but also seemed to have sharp teeth in its mouth, was tearing at a chicken.

The old man didn't know where he got the courage, but he only heard him shout, and then smashed the monster with the shovel in his hand. Unexpectedly, the monster like a fetus reacted extremely sensitively, and suddenly dodged away, and quickly glanced back at the old man, which frightened the old man, because he felt that a fierce light flashed in his eyes that seemed to be open.

Then, the monster quickly burrowed under a boulder and vanished.

After that, some people saw this monster one after another. Because this incident was so bizarre, it had a very great impact at the time, and even many people at that time carved this incident on the tombstone, and said that this kind of strange thing, since Pangu opened the world, no one seems to have encountered it, so the person who can see this kind of monster is one of the most important experiences in his life, and it is worth carving on the tombstone, so that this kind of deeds will be left on the tombstone forever. In addition, even the emperor at that time was alarmed by this matter, and the emperor invited many warlocks to listen to their opinions on this matter.

Some people say that this is a "ghost baby". What is a "ghost baby"? At that time, it was more popular for people to marry in the dark, that is, unmarried men and women died at a very young age, in this case, the parents of the deceased would often find him another dead opposite sex, and then let the two dead people "marry", so that the deceased could live a normal married life in the underworld, and bury the two young deceased together. As a result, people say that men and women who marry in the underworld can also give birth to children in the underworld, and of course they give birth to this extremely strange "ghost baby". Otherwise, how could such a monster appear?

According to the professor's speculation, this fetal-shaped monster is not a ghost baby at all, but it is likely to be the baby that Zhao Meng and the concubine miscarried in the cave, they thought it was a dead baby, but because the environment and temperature in the cave were extremely weird and special, the baby survived and remained in a near-fetal state.

This speculation is not unfounded, in the mythology of the Indians there are similar caves, in which the baby is in it, and in appearance it always remains in the shape of a baby, but in behavior and thought, it can grow.

I thought about it, is there a similar myth in China? It's really not too similar to this, if you barely find one, Nezha should be counted as one, no matter how long it takes, he will always be the appearance of a teenager.

But when I saw this supplement, what I thought of was Sister Li, and I saw the fetal monster in the cave, which was too similar to the fetal monster written in the professor's book. The place written in the professor's book can now be determined to be the cave. What I didn't expect was that in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, that kind of fetal monster appeared.

Why did Zhao Meng and his wife become extremely afraid of that cave later, it is not written in the professor's book, but I seem to have a vague feeling that the reason why they are afraid of that cave is most likely that they have seen that fetal monster. Such a strange thing, of course, would make them feel extremely frightened.

Also, the old eunuch, who had not been able to come out of the cave for so long, probably had already entered the labyrinth part of the cave, and thus was trapped in it, and could not get around. Maybe among the bones we saw in the cave and in those bones, there was an old eunuch's, it was really tragic! It seems that this mysterious cave has swallowed many people's lives, and we are right that we did not rush into it.

And the reason why the professor wrote this story must be aware that from the plot in it, some characteristics of the cave can be understood. And according to various indications, the place where the Taoist priest hid was this cave. The professor is an expert in the study of various human cultures and customs in the world, and of course he has a lot of research on all kinds of mysterious legends and places, and of course he will understand the dangers and mysteries of these places, so he will make all kinds of preparations and come up with coping strategies before he can successfully enter the cave.

This book provided by Feng Shui masters is so important to us. This book is a monograph on the exploration of the cave, and this exploration is from the perspective of fieldwork, not just theoretical speculation. I must read this book to see how the professor and his two students entered the cave, and perhaps find out what amazing secrets are hidden in this cave that we do not know.

I looked out the window, the weather was very good today, the sky was clear, the sky seemed blue and high, I sat down comfortably on the sofa on the balcony, holding the "treasure book" written by the professor in my hand, and read it carefully. On this bright day, it is also unique to read such a very obscure and secret book. My cousin, Sister Li, and Xiao Lei didn't call to disturb me, they all knew what I was doing, and I knew that they were anxiously waiting for the information of this book.
