Chapter 559: Monsters in the Spring and Autumn Tomb
When TCM Wang said this, my heart tightened, I felt that every word of TCM Wang hit the nail on the head, and it was what I wanted to know the most, but I never figured it out, yes, why do hermits have that kind of quirk?
I have thought about this more than once, and it seems that I have asked others at the time, but everyone knows, and even I have asked the guide, who I think is the most likely person to know the secret, but the guide only coldly replied to me: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
It made me quite embarrassed at the time. This matter has become an eternal mystery in my mind.
I couldn't help but lean over to Wang TCM and said eagerly: "Then you can tell me quickly, what is going on, I have thought about it countless times, but I have no clue at all." Wang nodded and said, "Actually, what really cures your infertility is the hot spring in that cave." That kind of hot spring has a special substance, which can be disinfected and sterilized, and has a very unique disinfection and healing effect on special inflammation.
And that kind of hot spring is very strange, it only becomes a hot spring when it snows heavily, and it is usually cold, needless to say, that kind of hermit obviously knows this secret, so he claims to treat the disease only when it snows heavily, he actually does not treat infertility himself at all, it is obvious that the guide is in collusion with him, deliberately let the patient stay in the cave overnight, and must soak in the hot spring, in this way, in fact, the patient is cured, but the patient is unconscious. I savored these words of Chinese medicine Wang carefully, and the more I tasted it, the more I felt that what he said made sense, and this mystery that had been hidden in my heart for many years was finally revealed.
But then, why did the hermit deceive me? And let me bring that two-faced monster back? What is his purpose in doing this?
In the face of my barrage of questions, Dr. Wang frowned, did not answer immediately, but thought for a long time before he sighed and said, "Although I am not quite sure, I can probably guess the reason, that hermit did this for only one purpose, that is to live forever. When I heard Wang say this, I was even more confused—what was the connection between the two-faced man and the immortal life that I had brought back?
And what TCM Wang said next, I was shocked and speechless for a long time, TCM Wang said: "This is a long story, immortality has always been a dream of people since ancient times, and the purpose of some hermits to live in seclusion is to make people immortal through various cultivations.
That kind of two-faced person is their way of cultivating.
You think it's weird to see that kind of two-faced person, right, but I can tell you that in the Spring and Autumn Period, in some mountains, this kind of two-faced person was actually not the weirdest, and at that time, you could see the beast-headed human body, or those monsters with the human head and the beast body.
At that time, why did these monsters appear in the mountains? It's unknown, and it's even more confusing to figure out that none of the monsters were there before or after that time.
In fact, it was a few tomb robbers who first discovered this secret.
It was during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, several unsatisfactory talents in the imperial examination, gathered together to become tomb robbers, these tomb robbers are very different from ordinary tomb robbers, they read a subset of scriptures and history, especially for tomb robbers, they read all kinds of history books, which also allowed them to dig a lot of large tombs that others could not find, and gained a lot.
But in the process of digging the tomb, they encountered an extremely strange thing, that is, in a burial chamber, they found some strange skeletons, these skeletons are the kind you have seen - some human heads and beast bodies, some skulls have two faces in front and back, and some are human and animal heads, and even some of them are like humans, and some of them are large but some of them are like beasts.
At first, when they saw these skeletons, they couldn't believe their eyes, and even thought that those skeletons were just man-made, but when they carefully examined these skeletons, they had to believe that this was not man-made, but that these monsters really existed in the world.
At that time, these Xiucai were very scared, they felt that since there was such a strange thing in that tomb, then that tomb must be extraordinary, so they didn't dare to touch anything in that tomb, but from the walls of the tomb and the words on the stone tablet, they could judge that it was an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period.
So, these talented tomb robbers rushed down this matter, and recorded it in great detail, including the location of the tomb, the shape of those skeletons, etc., and said that this incident was the most incredible strange thing they encountered in the decades of tomb robbing.
In the twentieth century, one of the descendants of these tomb robbers saw this record of his ancestor, and this descendant happened to be a student of Western medicine and had studied abroad, and he was very curious about this matter, so he and a friend, according to the location recorded in the book, went into the mountains to find the tomb, to see if there was really that kind of skeleton in the tomb.
Fortunately, according to the records in the book, he really found the tomb, and also went in, and those strange skeletons were actually there, when the descendant was ready to take the skeleton out, let the relevant experts properly identify it, but the strange thing is that when he was about to take those bones with his hands, his hand just pinched, the bones became powder, it turned out, those bones were completely weathered, and there was no way to pick them up completely, and the descendant had no choice but to draw the shape of those skeletons.
And when he showed the photos to some experts, none of them believed that the photos were just fakes, because from the point of view of biology and species, this species does not exist at all.
Frustrated, the descendant eventually gave up the effort, but the photographs remained.
But as it happened, somehow it happened, after a few decades, the photos were transferred to an archaeologist, who was shocked when he saw them, and then went to find the descendant, but alas, at that time, the descendant of the tomb robber was no longer there.
And the archaeologist, through various ways, went to find the ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period, but never found it, and the archaeologist was actually my cousin.
When my cousin told me about this, he also regretted that this was the most regrettable thing in his life, because he had obtained several bamboo slips from the Han Dynasty, and it was recorded that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were some monsters in that area, and those monsters were strangely shaped, terrifying, and strangely, those monsters probably only existed for a few decades at most, and after those decades, they never appeared again.
And what's even more strange is that those monsters suddenly appeared in that historical period, neither before nor after, and many people believed at that time that the reason for the appearance of those monsters was that the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth were not right.
When my cousin saw this kind of record, he didn't really care, thinking that it was just a kind of legend, but unexpectedly something happened - in an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn period in the mountains, my cousin saw a lot of murals of this monster on the stone wall of the tomb, and the paintings were quite realistic.
It's a pity that the ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period has been stolen very strictly, except for the murals on the tomb wall, almost nothing has been left, the unthinkable happened, in the corner of the tomb, scattered more than ten skulls, my cousin at first glance, think that these heads are just human skulls, but when I went to take a closer look, I screamed in shock, my cousin shouted, and the two colleagues next to me also ran over to see.
It turned out that the skulls were very different from ordinary human skulls, because on each skull, there were two faces in front and back, and all three of them were speechless. After a little calming down, they began to discuss, and some of them said that this two-faced man might be just a deformity of human beings.
But my cousin thinks so, he thinks that if it is a deformity, then there can only be one or two, how can there be more than a dozen such deformities? Then, he suddenly thought of the record on Han Jian, could it be that these two-faced people are the monsters mentioned in Han Jian?
But then something even more incredible happened: when they picked up two of these skulls and were about to go back to study them, suddenly a figure popped out of the dark corner of the tomb, and the three of them hurriedly shone their flashlights, and between them stood a naked man, whose hair was like weeds, and had a foul fishy smell all over his body, and a thick layer of hair on his body.
The man squeaked and forced them over, several people leaned against the wall of the tomb, stunned for a while, I don't know what to do, when the hairy man was about four meters away from them, suddenly turned around slowly, and when the hairy man turned around completely, the three of them almost fainted, because behind the hairy man's head, there was a face!
When the three of them reacted, they screamed in fright and rushed out of the ancient tomb.
And when they went back and told others about the experiences of the three of them, none of them believed them, and unfortunately, they did not leave any evidence at that time.
When they persuaded the archaeological institute to send many people to the tomb again, the strange thing was that the skulls of the two-faced people disappeared, and the living two-faced man did not appear again, and in the years since, my cousin has been there more than ten times, but he found the two-faced man again, although he did not find the two-faced man, but because of a chance experience, he actually knew the origin of the two-faced man. ’”
