Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Story of the Beard

"Silly big man, let me ask you, why do you want to steal other people's faces? How many accomplices do you have, who is the boss behind it?"

But this one just looked at Xiao Zan stupidly, with a frightened face.

Seeing that this one ignored himself, Hee Hee jumped up and rode on his neck.

"If you have the ability to steal people's faces, if you have the ability to open your mouth!" said Xixi, who raised his small fist and waved it in his face.

"Hey, wait, that's Mr. Li's facial features, don't break it, Mr. Li is enough to eat lotus root." Xiao Long Bao quickly stopped.

"But he didn't speak, if he didn't hurry up and let him confess, I'm afraid there would be a second Teacher Li and Teacher Chen. Hee Hee is also in a hurry.

"Little thing, you come down first, I'll ask. Xiao Zan said.

Since Xiao Dashen is going to go out, then there is nothing to do with Xixi, Xixi jumped down and sat next to him.

"Are you?" Xiao Zan looked at with a cold look in his eyes.

He didn't answer, just nodded, still looking horrified.

"I don't suck people's blood and steal people's facial features, and I want to replace someone else's identity, huh?" Xiao Zan then asked.

Still only nodded, but did not speak.

"Who lit you?" Xiao Zan asked again.

The question made him even more frightened, and he kept shaking his head and shaking.

"Even if you don't say it, I can read your memories and dig up all the little secrets hidden in your heart. However, when that happens, you will watch your spirit disappear little by little. Xiao Zan said coldly.

After speaking, Xiao Zan just looked at him and didn't make any other moves.

It may be that Xiao Zhan's aura is too strong, not at all like Xixi's bluff. I shivered for a while, and then I spoke slowly.

"It's... It's the mother-in-law. The voice is exactly the same as that of Mr. Li.

"Mother-in-law?" Xiao Zan asked?

"Mother-in-law is a charm, and we are all called out by mother-in-law. He continued.

Human martyrdom was one of the early burial methods in ancient China, cruel and ignorant. The most prosperous period of human martyrdom was the Yin Shang period, and later after the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, human martyrdom was suppressed, but it was not eradicated. It was not until the Warring States Period, in the first year of Qin Xian (384 BC), that the Qin State officially abolished the martyrdom system.

After the abolition of martyrdom, terracotta figurines and wooden figurines were used for burial. Originally, "figurines" meant human martyrdom, but later after human martyrdom faded out of history, "figurines" became a proper noun for pottery, stone sculptures and human statues in tombs. The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses are a typical example of figurines replacing people for burial, and they are also the pinnacle.

Although this method saved the lives of many innocent people, at the same time, during the construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, many workers and craftsmen died tragically.

Therefore, after the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was repaired, the grievances of those who died were also left in the Imperial Mausoleum. Over time, the resentment did not disperse, and the yin qi gathered, and it was refined from these thousands of years of burial goods.

Legend has it that it is the spirit of an old artifact that will crush people at night and suck human blood. It is indeed made of ancient artifacts, and it does suck human blood. However, such a thing is in the minority.

Most of them belong to the inferior demons of the demon world, just hovering around the ancient artifacts and taking away some of the yang energy of people passing by. Moreover, it can only survive in the place where the yin energy gathers, and once it comes to the excess of yang energy

place, it will slowly dissipate.

Originally, their group only wandered around the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, occasionally floating around in the four pits, but they only dared to haunt at night.

Therefore, except for the staff who haunt the pit at night and take away some yang energy, these have not done too many hurtful things.

And since the appearance of the ghost named Mother-in-law, their fate has been changed.

The so-called charm is born of the strange atmosphere of the mountains and forests, and it is evil in nature, likes to harm people, and is called a mountain monster. Originally, the charm only appeared in the mountains and forests where yin qi flourished and people were sparsely populated. But this ghost, who was called her mother-in-law, appeared in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

On a very cloudy night, a few of them wandered around Pit No. 1 as usual. Suddenly, after a gust of wind, an old lady with white hair and a hooked nose appeared in front of several of them.

At first, I thought that this old lady was just an ordinary person, so I played with her heart and floated around her, wanting to take away some yang energy.

Unbeknownst to him, the old lady blew a few of them away, and blew away some of their spirits.

At this time, I realized that the old lady was not an ordinary person, but a charmer.

"You unproductive people want to hide in this grave for the rest of your life?" the old lady's voice was very old, and at the same time, it was also very gloomy.

I couldn't speak, and I didn't quite understand what the old lady meant, but I was so frightened by the old lady's majesty that I trembled.

"Hey, it's really a few stupid, I don't know if it can be ignited. The old lady sighed and muttered to herself.

"Would you like to go outside?" the old lady gestured outside.

The ones didn't react except shivering.

"Forget it!" the old lady waved her hand, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, one of them floated to the old lady's side and grabbed the old lady's arm with his hand.

"Why, you want to go outside?" thought to the old lady, who was finally smarter.

The old lady could still feel his eagerness, even though his face had no facial features, only a dark mist shadow.

"Then I'll try to enlighten you, and call me mother-in-law in the future." The mother-in-law nodded in satisfaction.

Then the mother-in-law reached out and pressed the head of the one, closed her eyes and recited a spell. Immediately afterwards, a cloud of white light burst out from the mother-in-law's fingers, rushed straight to the ceiling, and lit up the No. 1 pit, like day.

A few hurriedly covered their faces, for fear that the white light would take them away.

When the white light faded, the black shadow that seemed to have changed little and was still humanoid, but on his body, there was an extra layer of evil spirit. Especially when he was standing with the others, it was obvious that he was different.

After being successfully ignited, this one wanted to float outside, but was stopped by his mother-in-law.

"The time has not yet come, you need to use the power of people to take you to their world. As she spoke, the mother-in-law looked at the others, "What about you?"

After saying that, those few also floated in front of the mother-in-law and asked the mother-in-law to enlighten herself.

After that night, my mother-in-law would come almost every night and teach them some spells and tell them something about the world.

From then on, these few are no longer the low-level demons in the demon world, they follow the instructions of their mother-in-law, take away people's facial features, and then slowly replace their identities and blend into the human world

As for the reason why the mother-in-law did this, it is not clear.

On Labor Day, the National Normal University organized a group of faculty and staff to travel to Xi'an, including Xiao Long Bao, Teacher Li, Teacher Chen, and some other teachers and professors.

When they finished visiting Shaanxi Bo, they drove to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.

Seeing such a magnificent scene, it is natural to take pictures of "brushes and brushes". Many people chose a place with a better view and took a pretended intimate group photo with the terracotta warriors and horses behind them.

Among them, there are Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, as well as several other teachers from the same class. Xiaolongbao felt that the terracotta warriors and horses were too ugly, and he had no plans to take a group photo, so he just took a few shots casually and left with the team.

Just when everyone took a group photo with the terracotta warriors and horses behind them, several quietly appeared. They disguised themselves as the shadows of the Terracotta Warriors and appeared in Pit No. 1. Although these shadows are darker and larger than those of other terracotta warriors, the tourists' minds are all about taking pictures and listening to explanations, and no one will pay attention to those strange shadows.

Of course, the child's eyes were bright, and a little girl spotted it.

"Mom, Mom, look, there's monsters. The little girl tugged at the hem of her mother's skirt and pointed to a terracotta warrior and said.

"Wherever there are monsters, they are all terracotta warriors. The little girl's mother was chatting with her friend, glanced in the direction the little girl was pointing and turned her head away.

At this time, the one that was discovered by the little girl moved, and one dodged, and disappeared.

"Huh... The monster is gone. The little girl rubbed her eyes.

However, no one paid attention to this little episode, and even the little girl herself quickly forgot about it.

Just when Mr. Li and Mr. Chen were taking a group photo side by side, the one that suddenly appeared behind them just now turned into the shadow of a terracotta warrior.

At the same time as the SLR flashed, the faint beam that followed the flash was sucked into the camera, and at the same time, there was another one next to him.

These two traveled to the camera's alternate dimension, waiting for the right time......

When Mr. Chen sent the photos from the SLR to his mobile phone and sent them to Mr. Li on WeChat, the two appeared in Mr. Chen's and Mr. Li's mobile phones respectively.

When the yang energy dissipates at night, the two of them travel out of their mobile phones and begin to illusion them, taking away their facial features and replacing them in the world.

Because the person concerned needs to be in a trance in order to be able to smoothly take away the facial features, there will always be illusions for the person, so that the person mistakenly thinks that he is having a nightmare, emotional tension, and slowly, a state of trance will appear.

Afterwards, it returned to the person's mobile phone, and it did not appear again until the evening when the yang energy dissipated and the yin energy gathered.

At the same time, the other tourists who took photos with a single-lens reflex that day and turned on the flash were also entangled by several others, some of whom had been replaced by their identities, and some of them, like Mr. Li, were in a state of disappearing facial features.

It's just that the person concerned doesn't know what happened, only that he has been having nightmares, and his facial features are slowly fading, thinking that he has become ugly.

And the person who was completely replaced, after discovering that all his facial features were gone, was eaten by himself, and even the spirit quickly dissipated......
