The feng shui master looked very lonely at the moment, his expression was a little sluggish, and his whole body collapsed in his chair, as if he had fallen into some kind of terrible memory. A few of us didn't bother him, just sat back in our seats silently and waited quietly. After a long time, the feng shui master seemed to break free from his memories and let out a long sigh.

"Master, have you also dealt with that blind man?" My cousin was beside him and asked cautiously.

The Feng Shui master didn't answer immediately, just nodded heavily. The cousin didn't ask any more questions, but poured another cup of strong tea for the feng shui master and gently held it to the feng shui master.

"Did you see that compass-like thing just now?" The feng shui master took the tea, took a sip, and suddenly asked without a head.

We all nodded.

The Feng Shui master then said, "You have all seen that compass-like thing contains some corpse worms, although these corpse worms look very similar to ordinary maggots, but in fact they are very different, he was raised from the corpse of a high monk, and this high monk, you also used his skull powder to make medicine this morning."

We couldn't help but be taken aback, it seems that this monk is indeed extraordinary, not only the skull has special effects, but even the insects born on the corpse are so strange, what kind of strange person is this?

The Feng Shui master continued: "If it is an ordinary maggot, it will definitely eventually emerge into a fly, but this kind of corpse worm will not, they are in this state from beginning to end, and they are extremely capable of surviving, as long as they are given a little carrion, they will reproduce from generation to generation, and they have a very long lifespan, and they are also extremely accurate - each one lives for seven years, usually does not die early, and rarely more than seven years." This kind of lifespan alone cannot be compared with ordinary maggots, so some people say that this is a maggot that has already 'become a sperm'.

I brought them back from Tibet, and it has been fifty-six years since I counted this year, and they have been multiplying for seven or eight generations, and when I brought them back, I only used a small bottle to contain seven or eight of them, but for some reason, these insects reproduce very slowly, and can be balanced within a certain number, which is extremely rare in the biological world.

But for some reason, one of the seven or eight corpse worms originally brought in survived, and this corpse worm has survived until now. ”

It's incredible that a bug has lived for fifty or sixty years! In our mind, the worms of lower life have the longest lifespan, but only a few months.

Although these bugs make us very disgusting, as soon as the feng shui master says this, we still can't help but be curious, especially my cousin, who immediately walked in front of the "compass" and began to carefully look for the worm with the longest lifespan. A few of us are still a little hesitant to go over and take a closer look.

Suddenly, my cousin shouted, "Isn't this bug?"

After he shouted like this, we couldn't take care of it anymore, and hurriedly leaned over to look.

Endure the strong feeling of nausea, I suddenly noticed that the red of these insects that were still red just now faded at some point, and it faded so completely, now it is white and tender, without a trace of red, and it is more like maggots.

In the middle of this mass of bugs, we found that one of them was very long, more than a foot long. And what's even more incredible is that this insect has an obvious "head", and on the head, there is actually a "face" that is a little similar to a human face!

Nausea, shock, fear, horror, all kinds of complicated feelings came together and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Suddenly, three words flashed through my mind: the face worm - the worm used to kill the Jews!

According to the description in the book, many of the features of the face worm and the long worm in the compass are so consistent, but the worm in this compass is longer and larger.

Is there really any connection between this bug and the face bug? It's a question that is swirling in my head.

The Feng Shui master was still sitting in his chair looking at us without much expression on his face.

"Master, isn't the bug you said has lived for more than 50 years the longest?" My cousin asked in a loud voice.

The feng shui master still only nodded slightly.

"When I saw this worm, I remembered the roundworms we had when we were children, when the sanitary conditions were poor, the proportion of roundworms in children was very high, and there were even roundworms that often came out of the child's asshole, and I remember the most exaggerated one, a roundworm more than a foot long - about the same length as this worm - crawled out of the mouth of a little friend who was playing with me", the elderly just love to recall the past, and it seems that my cousin is sometimes no exception.

Sister Li felt that what her cousin said was too fantastical, and questioned loudly: "No, cousin, are you exaggerating a lot." ”

"My cousin is not exaggerating, it was caused by the sanitary conditions of that era, although it sounds a bit strange now", because she is a doctor, Hongmei obviously knows a lot about the history of this area.

I didn't get involved in their discussion, but asked my cousin directly, "Don't you think this longest bug looks a bit like the face worm that killed the Jews?" ”

After I reminded him of this, my cousin's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, and then began to fall silent, and I knew that he also felt as if there was some subtle connection between the two.

After watching it for a while, the novelty passed, and the vice and discomfort prevailed again. So a few of us did it again. But looking at the feng shui master, his expression is much more relaxed than just now.

My cousin asked the feng shui master, "Master, how can you know when the blind man comes?" Do you have the foreknowledge of a blind man?"

The feng shui master shook his head a little crying and laughing: "If I had his ability, I wouldn't be so afraid of him, maybe I could have killed him a long time ago, and I didn't need to sleep well and eat well for so many years."

As soon as the feng shui master said this, we knew that the two may have fought each other a long time ago, and the feng shui master must be at a disadvantage, otherwise he would not be so "talking about the blind man's discoloration".

"I deal with the high blind man, nothing else, just the insects you just saw in the compass, they are my saviors, without them, I may have been killed by the high blind man."

Listening to the feng shui master say this, we feel even more strange, how can that talented and capable high blind man be afraid of these maggot-like corpse insects? The more I listened, the more confused I became.

The feng shui master looked at us with a confused face, relaxed his expression slightly, smiled faintly, and told us the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

It turned out that the reason why the feng shui master was able to judge that the high blind man was coming was mainly based on the insects in the compass - if the insects were colorless, they would be safe and sound, and as long as the high blind man approached the house, the color of those insects would turn a faint red.

Why these corpse insects have these characteristics has to start with that extraordinary monk. This high monk, living on the Tibetan plateau, he has had extraordinary roots since he was a child, he entered the temple at a very young age, became a monk, because he was extremely intelligent, so when he was more than ten years old, he almost read Buddhist scriptures. At that time, between monasteries and monks, there were often Dharma fighting conferences, which were a way of debate to see who studied the Buddhist scriptures more thoroughly and who understood the Buddhist scriptures more deeply, and each time the senior monk won.

One year, the old host felt that his body was not as good as a day, and his condition was getting worse and worse, and he knew that there was not much time to come, so he thought of arranging the position of the host as soon as possible, and in his heart, there were three good candidates, one of which was this monk who was only more than ten years old at the time.

In order to test the three people, the old host came up with a test method, he asked people to dig three caves on the hillside, and then let each of the three people go into a cave to meditate, during the retreat, no food and water are given, if anyone can't stand it, he can pull the rope inside, and then the bell outside will ring, so that the retreat is over, he can come out to eat and water normally, but only the last one to come out is the new host of the monastery.

Who doesn't want to be the host? Before the retreat began, all three of them were eager to try, and when the three of them entered the cave, the curtain at the entrance of the cave outside was immediately lowered, and just like that, the three of them began to fight.

The reason why these three people are candidates for hosts is because they are outstanding in both their attainments in Buddhist scriptures and their meditation skills.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, none of the three of them rang the bell, ended the meditation, withdrew from the competition, until the fourth day, and finally one of the three people really couldn't stand it anymore. He rang the bell with almost the last bit of strength, and he was out of the competition. But he couldn't get out on his own, but a few monks, even pulling him out.

After another two days, the other one couldn't stand it anymore, and rang the bell by himself and gave up the game, which was obvious, this monk who was only more than ten years old at the time was already the final winner, since he won, there was no need to continue to meditate, but this monk did not choose to come out immediately, but still went on a hunger strike and meditated every day.

It was not until the fourteenth day that the monk ended his retreat, but to his astonishment, he walked out of the cave on his own without anyone's help or help.

After coming out, the old presiding officer asked the three men a question -- asking them to say what illusions they saw while meditating when their bodies and spirits reached the limit of their patience.

The first person to come out said that he saw the hot tsamba and butter tea, and the old host shook his head after listening to it; The second said that he saw the golden Buddha; The old host still shook his head in disappointment; When it was the monk's turn to return, he replied that he had seen himself, and felt that his whole body was full of golden light, like a golden Buddha statue, and the monk next to him only pouted after hearing it, thinking that this teenage child was too arrogant.

Unexpectedly, after listening to it, the old host laughed and seemed very happy, as if this was the answer he wanted.
