Chapter 560: Adventure in the Ancient Temple
Professor Shan continued: "Listening to the old man's this, I was completely stunned, I couldn't imagine that the skeleton in the box had such a complicated experience, but when I heard the old man talk about the experience of Wang's cousin, I couldn't wait to ask: 'Accidental experience?' So what exactly is the experience? ’
The old man nodded and continued: "Well, after going there more than ten times, Wang Zhongyi's cousin never saw the living two-faced man again, but a chance experience made him know the secret of those two-faced people.
That time, he turned to dusk around the ancient tomb, somehow, suddenly lost, until the sky was dark, he could not find the way back, turned around, and suddenly saw a temple, the temple should be some years old, it looks very dilapidated, and it is not big, only more than ten houses, but the smell of cooking smoke, reminded him that there are still people in this table, so the cousin of Wang Chinese medicine was happy in his heart, and hurriedly walked to the temple door and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Wang's cousin found that it was an old monk who was over seventy years old, and he hurriedly told the old monk that he was lost in the mountains, because it was getting late, and he wanted to spend the night in the temple.
After hearing this, the old monk seemed to have a sad face, saying that he couldn't decide on this matter, and wanted to ask the master, my cousin was taken aback, he didn't expect that this old monk in his seventies would still have a master!
After the old monk finished speaking, he closed the door again, and after a long while, he heard slow footsteps again, and the door opened again, and it was still the old monk, this time he folded his hands and let the cousin of Wang TCM in, and it seemed that the old monk's master had agreed to let him stay overnight.
After Wang TCM's cousin entered the courtyard of the temple, he found that the yard was full of weeds, which seemed very desolate, for some reason, he felt a chill at the time, and suddenly thought of those stories in "Liao Zhai", in the depths of the mountains, in the desolate and dilapidated ancient temple, there will be some ghost foxes turning into human shapes, in this vast twilight, such a strange temple suddenly appeared, and the monks in the temple are still so weird, it is really very similar to those stories in "Liao Zhai", although Wang TCM's cousin thinks this idea is ridiculous, But he did have that association at the time.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old monk in his seventies had already led him into the room, and told him that it was his master's room, and that his master wanted to meet the cousin of Wang TCM, and the cousin of Wang TCM was also very curious, and wanted to see what the old monk's master was like, and he felt that he must be very old.
Then in the dim light, Wang Zhongyi's cousin found that the room was very dilapidated and shabby, and there was a musty smell, not even a piece of furniture, only a broken kang, and there was a monk sitting on the kang, which should be the old monk's master.
When he saw the old monk's master clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, because the old monk's master looked nothing special, and he couldn't even see that he was older than the old monk who opened the door, and he was ordinary and had nothing special.
The old monk's master was also very polite, and invited my cousin of Wang TCM to sit on the edge of the pit, and before the cousin of TCM Wang could speak, he asked something that shocked the cousin of TCM Wang - the old monk's master asked: When the donor entered the mountain, did he come to find the two-faced man?
After hearing this, Wang TCM's cousin was shocked for a long time and didn't react, his brain was buzzing, and a cool breeze blew in from the window, and he shivered all over, only then did he calm down a little, and hurriedly stammered and asked the old monk's master, how did he know.
The old monk's master sighed softly, and then slowly told the old Chinese medicine cousin the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that the master of this old monk was more than 110 years old, and because he was very good at meditation, he could prolong his life, and he came to this temple when he was more than ten years old, so he had lived in this area for about 100 years.
This is deep in the mountains, and it is rarely visited.
When the old monk's master came to this temple, there were more than ten monks in the temple, but then they all slowly died, and some left by themselves, and finally the old monk's master was left, and he lived here alone for decades, during those decades, except for two or three months to the outside of the mountain, he usually stayed in the temple and studied the art of meditation.
This kind of meditation he practiced is called zazen, and once this kind of meditation is settled, it can last for seven days and seven nights, without eating, drinking, sleeping, or sleeping, and the body enters a special state of concentration.
It is that he just feels it, within a few tens of zhang, as long as there is something moving, he can feel it, and can distinguish what it is, and every time he gets this realm, he will be extremely comfortable. It is also the practice of zazen that makes him mentally and physically extremely strong.
But one year, something strange happened.
On that occasion, the old monk's master was sitting in meditation and was gradually entering a state of concentration, especially at midnight, when he reached its peak state, but at that moment, he suddenly felt that something had intruded into the realm of his senses.
When he was sitting in meditation, he could often feel something intruding as far as he could feel, such as some wild deer, hares, eagles, foxes, wolves, etc., and once, even a tiger broke in.
But even when he sensed the tiger approaching his place, the old monk's master did not feel very panicked, because he knew that the walls of the temple house were all made of two-foot-thick blue bricks, and the doors and windows were all made of thick wooden planks, which were extremely strong, and as long as they were closed, no matter what kind of beast they were, they would not want to break in.
First of all, he couldn't feel what that thing was, which had never been done before, not only that, but that thing also caused the old monk's master's meridians to flow backwards, which almost caused the old monk's master to suffer fatal injuries, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately stopped zazen, so that his meridians were not harmed.
In this way, the old monk's master was shocked and angry, and he immediately picked up a Zen stick and rushed out to see what it was, almost seriously injuring himself.
When he rushed out, he found that there was a person standing in the moonlight, which made him even more surprised, supposedly, if someone broke in, he should definitely be able to feel it, and his meridians would not be affected like that.
Because he has reached a deep level of Zen, he basically no longer has a sense of fear.
The old monk's master asked the man first, and the man let out only a strange low roar.
After the old monk's master approached the man, he gently pulled the man's hair away with the end of the stick, only to find that the man's face was extremely ugly, and what was even more strange was that the old monk's master obviously didn't see the man open his mouth, but a strange low roar came from the man's body, and the old monk's master carefully distinguished, and felt that the sound seemed to come from the back of the man's head.
He was even more surprised, and when he quickly turned behind the man, the old monk's master was stunned - for there was another face on the back of the man's head, and this face was larger than the one in front of him, and it was not covered by hair.
Ordinary people would be scared half to death when they saw this kind of scene, but the old monk's master was extremely strong in controlling his emotions because of his extremely profound Zen skills, and he quickly regained his calm, and he found that the two-faced man didn't seem to have the ability to attack, so he relaxed a lot. And he brought the man into the house, because he wanted to get a good look at the two-faced man.
After pulling the two-faced man closer to the house, the old monk clearly saw the appearance of the two-faced man.
The old monk's master not only carefully observed the two faces of the two-faced man, but also looked at other parts of the two-faced man's body, and he was surprised to find that the two-faced man still had a layer of fine hair on his body.
The old monk tried to ask the two-faced man some questions, but the two-faced man didn't seem to understand at all, he still just screamed, the old monk's master frowned, from the sound of the call, the old monk's master is absolutely very familiar, what does this kind of call look like?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through the old monk's mind—the two-faced man's cry was very much like a monkey, and a strange monkey; That kind of monkey is called a 'parasitic monkey', why is it called a parasitic monkey?
First of all, the size of this parasitic monkey is extremely small, the big one is only the size of a fist, and the small one is not the size of a human finger, not only a small head, but also the form of their life is also very special, it is generally parasitic on the body of a large vulture, in addition, some animal groups, there are often this kind of parasitic monkey parasitism.
What's even more bizarre is that this parasitic monkey does not need to eat, but on its body, it will also parasitize a kind of worm, this parasitic worm, almost completely transparent, they will crawl from the parasitic monkey to the body of other animals, and then suck enough blood from other animals, and then inject this blood into the body of the parasitic monkey, the parasitic monkey relies on this way to obtain nutrition, so as to survive.
Thinking of this, the old monk's master suddenly had another thought--could this kind of two-faced person have a connection with parasitic monkeys? Because he understands that sound is most closely related to the meridians, and if the sounds are similar, then the meridians must also be similar.
At this moment, in the dim light, the old monk's master discovered an even more amazing scene.
