Chapter 254: Spirit Fetus
The Taoist priest suddenly stood up, took out a wooden box from the cabinet in the corner, and placed it on the table next to us. The wooden box looked ordinary, the size of a watermelon, and was very shabby.
The Taoist priest held the box with his hand, and stood there with a solemn and contemplative face, and we all watched his every move without saying a word.
But what happened next left us dumbfounded.
The Taoist priest did not open the box immediately, but out of nowhere, he took out a flashlight, only to see him turn on the flashlight, and a beam of white bright light shone on the wooden box. As soon as the light shone brightly, something unexpected happened—from the wooden box came the sound of a woman's moaning, which was so familiar to us that it seemed to us that we had heard it somewhere.
By the way, it should be the kind of moaning that comes from the inside of that mountain, which seems to be absent, but it is also soul-stirring and has a strong penetrating power. What the hell is going on? Could it be that there is a woman hidden in such a small box? We all stared at the box in shock.
The Taoist priest looked at us sternly, then gently lifted the lid of the box and said to us in a strange tone, "Let's come and see what this is."
Hearing him say this, for some reason, an inexplicable fear suddenly surged in my heart.
The first to stand up was his cousin, and as soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, he stepped forward to look at the contents of the box, but when he looked into the box, he couldn't help but be surprised, and took several steps back in horror; The second one who went to see it was the historian, and his reaction was even stronger after reading it—he screamed, turned his head and ran into the corner in a panic, his face pale, panting, and a look of shock, as if he had been greatly frightened.
Although we didn't know what was in the box, we didn't dare to look at it for a moment when we saw the reaction of our cousin and the historian, because we all knew that the contents must be extremely terrifying.
The Taoist priest was still standing there, his face solemn, not saying anything, while the cousin and the historian didn't seem to have fully reacted from the shock just now, just like that, after about a few minutes, the cousin seemed to come to his senses and asked the Taoist priest: "Mr. Yang, what kind of monster is this?" I really can't imagine that there is such a terrible thing in the world, what does this strange thing have to do with that cave and the blind man? ”
The Taoist priest did not immediately answer his cousin's question, but first gently closed the wooden box, and then extinguished the bright flashlight in his hand, and the strange, woman's moaning gradually stopped, and the Taoist priest's face was a little sad at this time, as if he remembered some unbearable past, he gently put the wooden box back in its place, and then sat down again, and motioned for us to sit down too.
After everyone sat down, the Taoist priest opened the conversation again: "The two of you also saw that monster just now, you may not know what it is, in fact, it is the legendary 'spirit fetus'." ”
I noticed that when I heard these two words, my cousin couldn't help but be shocked.
The Taoist priest continued: "The so-called 'spirit fetus' is a kind of freak that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and condenses and aggregates, because this kind of fetus is extremely wonderful, it can sit in the womb of a person, it can also sit in a variety of beasts, and it can even be conceived in the place where the yin and yang qi of the mountain body gathers.
This kind of freak is not only extremely strange and terrifying in appearance, but more specially, some of its effects are unimaginably huge. You may all know that the mountain, and the cave, and even the tall blind man, are extremely strange, but why are they so strange? Because they are all influenced by the spirit womb.
When I entered the cave to cultivate, I knew that there was a spirit fetus on that mountain, and this spirit fetus was related to Qin Shi Huang's quest for immortality.
According to the records of the secret art of feng shui handed down by our school, Qin Shi Huang in order to be able to live forever, really do everything, everywhere to gather all kinds of warlock masters, at that time our school of ancestors, because in feng shui and other metaphysics, attainments are very profound, and famous, so Qin Shi Huang spared no expense, hired my ancestor, to teach him the method of liberation from life and death, my teacher saw Qin Shi Huang to him so courteous, and did his best to devote what he learned to serve Qin Shi Huang.
My ancestor said to Qin Shi Huang that in order to refine the elixir of immortality, the most important thing is a pair of medicine primers, and after having this pair of medicine primers, there is hope for the elixir of immortality to be refined.
So, after three full years of traveling all over the country, the ancestor finally discovered the mountain and the cave where you are, and he found that the yin and yang qi there is extremely special, and it is the best place to refine medicine primers.
However, the refining method of this medicine primer is extremely cruel and extremely unbelievable - it is somewhere in that cave, let three hundred pairs of eighteen-year-old virgins and virgins, on a specially concocted silk cloth, day and night make peace, until they die of exhaustion, of course, to achieve this effect, three hundred pairs of men and women must be given a special aphrodisiac, so that they are extremely excited.
After the death of these three hundred pairs of men and women, the corpses were wrapped in this large silk cloth, and then on the cloth, a specially configured decoction was repeatedly poured on the cloth, and after twenty seven days, that is, one hundred and forty days, these corpses and bones will condense into a piece of purple crystals that are only the size of a fetus under the joint action of the decoction and the yin and yang qi in the cave. This purple crystalline can be turned into a kind of spirit fetus.
In addition, this whole process must be carried out in that cave, because once you leave the yin and yang qi of that cave, this spirit fetus cannot be formed.
Originally, after this kind of spirit fetus was cultivated, it was possible to prepare the elixir of immortality, but the world is unpredictable, after this spirit fetus was just practiced, Qin Shi Huang died, and the world was in chaos, without the support of Qin Shi Huang, my ancestor would not have so much financial and material resources to continue to practice the elixir of immortality, so this spirit fetus has been staying in that cave.
Later, according to the research of my master, he felt that he could use this spiritual fetus and the yin and yang qi in the cave to practice the art of immortality, so in the following decades, he worked with several apprentices to repeatedly study this cultivation technique, but because this was only a kind of cultivation of the nature of the real yàn, so in the process of cultivation, my master ancestor, as well as several of his apprentices, all went astray in cultivation and died one after another, and they all died miserably. I don't know if this is the karma of killing so many young men and women.
In the end, only one apprentice survived.
The rest of the disciples didn't dare to continue cultivating anymore, but he recorded all the lessons and lessons in the cultivation process and passed them down from generation to generation as an important part of our sect.
After it has been passed down to my generation - immodest to say, I am the master of our school, and my understanding of the feng shui theory of our school far exceeds that of my master and predecessors, which can not only be tested in reality, but also my master often says so, it is better than the blue, in addition to diligence, of course, talent also plays a decisive role, therefore, when I reorganized the water division theory of our school, I gradually felt that I had found a way to use that spirit fetus to practice the art of immortality, The master also repeatedly encouraged me to try, without his encouragement, I might not have made up my mind, since the master thought it was feasible, so I traveled thousands of miles to the cave, and according to the secret book handed down, I found this spirit fetus.
To my surprise, after more than 2,000 years, this spirit fetus is still alive, and the secret book we have handed down says, 'Although the turtle is long-lived, if it is compared with the spirit fetus, it is far behind', that is to say, although the turtle is known for its longevity, but the life span of the turtle is still too far from this spirit fetus, which shows the long life of this spirit fetus.
However, when I lifted the cover and saw this spirit fetus, I was frightened and fainted, because it was so terrible, and it was seen in that dark and gloomy cave, so the fear at that time can be imagined.
It took me a long time to overcome this psychological fear and slowly get used to the appearance of this 'monster'. Then I practiced according to the method I had planned in advance, but later I found that the more I practiced, the more wrong it became, and the more I practiced, the more desperate I became, especially after the skin on my body slowly fell off, I was even more miserable, and I thought about suicide a few times, but I probably still didn't want to die, so I slowly got through it.
Later, because of various reasons, I met that kind American professor, and then he brought me to the United States for treatment, which not only allowed me to return to a normal life, but also made me rejuvenated.
Most of my contemporaries have died, and even if they are alive, they are all old, and none of them can be as young as me."
Through this narration of the Taoist priest, we really learned some information that we had never heard of, but the most critical part, such as about the blind man and the cave, the Taoist priest did not say, I don't know if he was deliberately avoiding it, or if there was something else hidden.
However, after he said this, several of us couldn't help but glance at the wooden box a few times, if the Taoist priest didn't say it, no one knew that there was such an incomparably terrifying, incomparably strange "monster" hidden in the ordinary wooden box.
However, I no longer have the desire to see that spirit fetus, because after seeing so many strange things, I deeply feel that these strange things as long as I look at them, they will cause great damage to people's psychology, even if they can suppress that fear during the day, but they always appear in nightmares from time to time, from the half-sheep and half-human monster, to the fetal monster, and then to the freaks I met in the mass grave, they have become my most terrible memory, which makes me mentally tortured, I believe in Sister Li, Hongmei, and Xiaolei them, surely feeling something similar. If we talk about the most psychologically strong among us, of course, it is my cousin.
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips, and moistened his throat. After the cousin watched the Taoist priest put the teacup on the table, he immediately asked closely: "What you are talking about is indeed a strange anecdote and anecdote, which is really amazing, but have you ever seen the blind man in the cave?" ”
