Chapter 561: Two Uninvited Guests
Even in the dim moonlight, the old monk's master could find details that were difficult for ordinary people to find -- he saw a lot of insects the size of a grain of rice, passing through the fine hairs of the two-faced person, and after seeing this kind of worm, another incredible thought suddenly flashed in the old monk's master's mind -- could this two-faced person be the kind of parasitic monkey?
But the old monk's master immediately denied this idea of his own, because he felt that it was impossible - how could such a small monkey suddenly become such a big person, and still be a deformed two-faced person.
While he was thinking wildly, the strange two-faced man suddenly leaped violently, climbed over the wall, and disappeared into the night, and the old monk's master returned to the house and sat there for a long time, as if he were in a dream.
But after that encounter with the two-faced man, he never met again in the next few years. But this matter seemed to be imprinted in his mind, so that he could not forget it, and as long as he had time, the old monk's master would think about it, but he could not understand it, he felt that this matter was completely beyond his comprehension.
But what he didn't expect was that by chance, from a person's mouth, he actually knew the secret of that two-faced man.
It was more than ten years after seeing the two-faced person, once, when he went out to travel, he went to a very remote province, where it was relatively far away, so he would only go once in four or five years, but in the local area, he had a very good friend, the two can be said to be friends with each other, his friend is a fortune teller, proficient in Zhouyi gossip, and well-informed, every time the two meet, they will talk all night, there is always something to say.
Originally, he would have thought that the fortune teller would definitely not believe in this kind of thing, because this kind of thing was too incredible, but to his surprise, although the fortune teller was surprised, he did not question it in the slightest.
Because the fortune teller actually knows what that kind of two-faced person is all about.
It turned out that this fortune teller was also a tomb robber in his early years, once, when he was digging an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period, an extremely strange incident occurred - that is, in that tomb, there was a skeleton with a human head and a dog's body, just looking at the skeleton was weird enough, but what was even more bizarre was that when they continued to search, from the abandoned tomb, there was a living monster, and that monster was a human head and dog body.
Two of the tomb robbers were stunned, and the others tried to run, but the man suddenly screamed and chased them and bit wildly, except for the fortune teller, the others were all bitten by the monster with the head and the dog.
Originally, those bites were not serious, but for some reason, the wounds at the bite site could not heal, not only could not heal, but also gradually turned black and rotten, and rotted to the bones, and the last one died tragically, only the fortune teller survived.
What's even more terrifying is that the fortune teller was already very knowledgeable about Zhou Yi gossip at that time, so he could vaguely feel that the monster with a human head and a beast body was looking for him, and in order to escape for his life, the fortune teller went away from home, trekked thousands of miles, and came to that remote place.
But when he escaped, the fortune teller brought a few rolls of bamboo slips, and those rolls of bamboo slips were stolen from the Spring and Autumn Tomb, but because the words of those Spring and Autumn Period were in large seal style, and with different places, there were some differences between the words, so the fortune teller couldn't read it at first, but in addition to the words, the bamboo slips also had a strange picture - the side of a person was drawn, and it can be seen from the side that the person has two faces before and after.
At that time, the fortune teller felt very curious, he wanted to find out what was written on the bamboo slips, so, by chance, he went to Shanghai to find a paleographer, the content of the bamboo slips translated, and after the content of those words was completely translated, the fortune teller knew that those bamboo slips, there were shocking secrets.
It turned out that during a certain period of time in the Spring and Autumn Period, a group of monsters suddenly appeared, and these monsters were either human-faced beast bodies, or beast bodies and human faces, or a certain part of the organs resembled people, but as for why these monsters suddenly appeared, no one knows.
But at that time, people had legends that these monsters were sent down by heaven and were messengers who led the souls of the dead into heaven, so the kings of the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as the nobles, spared no expense to find and capture these monsters.
And among these monsters, there is one of the most special monsters, which is the kind of two-faced man. What's so special about it? It is this kind of two-faced person who can make people live longer.
There is a bug on this two-faced person, and this bug can suck the blood of the person, and then inject the blood of the person into the body of the two-faced person, and the two-faced person lives in this way, of course, in addition, they will eat some grass, leaves and other food, but if they don't absorb human blood, they will die quickly.
But that's not the most fantastic.
According to the division of traditional Chinese medicine, the characteristics of human blood can be divided into many kinds, there is a kind of people's blood is classified as 'cold poison' type, there is often a man with this cold poison type of blood, and this kind of man must be sterile, this is because this cold poison blood type, will block some meridians, and these blocked meridians are related to fertility, of course, these meridians can be opened through guò acupuncture and other ways, once opened, these men can give birth, but their blood is still cold poison type.
But if the two-faced people absorb this cold poison blood type for a long time, a red crystal will be formed in their body, and after this crystal is taken out, it can be taken as a medicine primer, which can make people live longer, and not only longevity, but also make people's meridians all open, making people feel extremely comfortable, and that feeling is even more comfortable than when doing things for men and women.
Because this red crystal is so magical, it is priceless, so that kind of two-faced people have become a monster that many people are looking for, because with them, this kind of crystal can be made.
After listening to the old monk's master, the cousin of the old Chinese medicine doctor knew the origin of this two-faced person. ”
The rain outside seemed to be much lighter, and in the dim light, we were all immersed in the stories told by Professor Shan, especially the madman Liu, who listened very attentively, because things like meridians were what he was best at.
"After listening to the old Chinese medicine doctor, your student's grandfather must have known what was going on with that two-faced man, and the reason why that hermit asked him to bring back that two-faced man was to use his blood to nourish that crystalline in the body of the two-faced man. But then how did he deal with the two-faced man? How did the two-faced man become a skeleton and be put in a box? What's even more incredible is that that kind of two-faced person can still live after becoming a skeleton, what is going on? ”
Hongmei had been listening quietly beside her, and when Professor Shan spoke here, she was the first to ask.
After listening to Hongmei's question, Professor Shan nodded and continued: "Well, after I listened to the old man talk about this, these similar questions immediately appeared in my mind, and I didn't know what was going on until the old man continued.
It turned out that after knowing what was going on from the mouth of the old Chinese medicine doctor, the old man felt that he was plotted by the hermit, so he and the old servant secretly planned to get rid of the two-faced man, how to get rid of it?
He and the old servant sealed the two-faced man in the zài cellar, and then the family set off overnight, traveled thousands of miles, and returned to their hometown, which was in this mountain.
When they returned, they breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had finally gotten rid of that nightmarish two-faced person, and from then on, they could live a normal life.
In the next twenty years, his son grew up, and also married and had children, and the old man also became a grandfather, all of them were calm and beautiful, and the old man gradually forgot about that terrible experience, except for the occasional nightmare, but no one expected that the unexpected disaster suddenly fell from the sky and shattered the family.
The old man will never forget that day.
That day, he was collecting medicine not far from home, when suddenly, his son came to him in a hurry, and said that two guests had come to the house, saying that they were his old friends, and had come to see him from far away. He doesn't have any friends in the field, what's going on?
So, he followed his son home in a daze, and on the way, he couldn't think of any friends he had in other places.
When the courtyard door was opened, the two guests were sitting in the courtyard, and were teasing the grandson in the arms of his daughter-in-law, and when he saw the two men clearly, the old man's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground at once.
For those two men were none other than the hermit and the guide, and although decades had passed, the appearance of these two men had hardly changed at all, exactly the same as when the old man first saw them, and the old man could hardly believe his eyes.
The hermit and the guide came over to support him with a smile, and said things like 'I haven't seen you for so many years, you look a lot older', and when the old man sat on the stool and saw that his daughter-in-law and son were looking at him with surprised eyes, he calmed down a little, he knew that seeing his reaction, the daughter-in-law and son must have felt very strange, so he secretly gritted his teeth and tried to control his feelings, but how could these two people find here, and what did they suddenly come to find themselves for? ”
