Chapter 177: Fake Death
When Lin Xiao and others walked into the monastery with Commissioner Peng Lab Nasinghe, they saw many monks making the Bayeux Sutra.
Buddhism has been introduced to Myanmar for more than 2,500 years, and more than 1,000 years ago, the Burmese people began to engrave Buddhist scriptures on the leaves of a tree called Bedoro to make the Bayeux Sutra.
Just as Li Shangyin's poem once mentioned that "remembering the lotus 'flower' seat, and hearing the Bayeux Sutra".
Of the more than 50 million people in Myanmar, more than one of them are Buddhists.
Every man in Myanmar is required to cut his hair and become a monk for a certain period of time. Otherwise, there will be contempt from society.
I have to say that Buddhism's ability to follow the local customs is also very powerful.
Just like the pagoda here in Myanmar, it has a very distinctive characteristic, the spire is thin and towering, and the golden 'color' light is particularly tall.
Buddhists advocate the construction of floating temples, and temples must be built pagodas, so there are many pagodas everywhere in Myanmar.
Myanmar is known as the land of a thousand pagodas, and it is said that at its peak, there were 14,000 pagodas.
Lin Xiao and they naturally obeyed the customs of Myanmar, everyone wore a pair of sandals, the upper should be cloth, and the sole was made of rubber products, which was 'very' comfortable to walk on.
When they entered the temple, they took off their shoes and walked in barefoot, first with Commissioner Penglap Nasinghe, and bowed in front of the Buddha statue.
[a] [Present] [Reading] the novel Master YBDU Gangcuo came out and saluted each other.
"Master Gangcuo, Mr. Lin has something to ask." Commissioner Phunt Nasinghe said to Master Gangcuo.
Master Gangcuo replied with a salute, and then said in Mandarin, "It's Mr. Lin, I heard them talk about it just now, it was Mr. Lin who found out that Jiana had fallen into the Gu?"
"The master speaks Mandarin?" When Lin Xiao and the others heard this, they were a little surprised.
However, considering that this is the northern mountainous region of Myanmar, which is very close to the territory of China, it is not very strange that as an ascetic monk, he often has to walk back and forth and can speak Mandarin.
"The poor monk once went to China and did a few years of cultural 'exchange', and the basic conversation is still okay." Master Gangcuo modestly said.
"This is easy to do, at least there is no obstacle to the flow of 'communication', otherwise, if you always ask He Wei to translate, you will be able to accurately express your true intentions." After Lin Xiao heard this, he was quite happy.
"Mr. Lin wants to ask about Jia Na, right?" Master Gangcuo looked at Lin Xiao and said, "I heard that Mr. Lin found out that Jia Na was hit by Gu, and the poor monk felt that Mr. Lin should be a fellow practitioner, but now that I have seen it, it is indeed the case." ”
Lin Xiao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Master Gangcuo to be able to see his details.
However, there is nothing strange about this, after all, Lin Xiao's cultivation is a combination of 'essence' spiritual cultivation and physical tempering, and his current physical strength is also different from ordinary people, in the eyes of experts, it can indeed be seen.
"Master Gangcuo's eyes are like torches." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "What I want to ask is indeed about Jia Na." My companions were a little uneasy when they found out that Jia Na was a Gu Worm, so I hope I can figure this out and minimize their panic. ”
"Mr. Lin's mood is understandable." Master Gangcuo replied, "In fact, in our mountainous areas of northern Myanmar, it is rare for such a thing to happen, and we have to find out why." ”
As an area where Buddhism flourishes, there are few such evil Gu techniques in Myanmar, and few people will delve into this kind of Gu arts, Jia Na has never left Myanmar to go north, she suddenly fell into Gu arts, this thing is indeed very strange, the monks in the temple are also studying this matter, on the one hand, to remove the Gu magic on Jia Na's body, on the other hand, they also want to find the root cause, and eliminate this unstable factor.
Otherwise, the residents of the nearby villages will be uneasy because of this.
Monks have a relatively high social status in the minds of the villagers, so if something is difficult to solve, the villagers will come to them as soon as possible.
"We suspect that it was Thailand's descending division who came to the mountains of northern Myanmar." Master Gangcuo said to Lin Xiao.
Sure enough, it was Thailand's head lowering division, Lin Xiao and the others were a little worried when they heard it.
Thai Gu art is also called "descending head." "Together with Xiangxi Gu Technique, it is known as the two major evil arts in Southeast Asia.
"Gu" originally referred to small insects that were born in a vessel containing grain, and later also included flying insects that were born when food was rotting.
There are many ways to lower the head, and the head lowering technique is mainly divided into spiritual 'sex' related or non-spiritual 'sex' related according to the method of casting.
Non-spiritual 'sex' related mainly refers to Gu descent, which is divided into insect descent and 'medicine' descent.
Insect descent is the use of special or special silverfish to descend, and the 'medicine' descends as its name suggests, using a special 'medicine' to drop the head.
The spiritual 'nature' is related to the spell and the flying down, these two ways do not need to have physical contact with the person being descended, and can be completed through empty questions and distance, so the spiritual life-related Gu art is the most terrifying.
When traveling in Thailand, it is common to encounter scammers who will pretend to be shamans, look for foreign tourists, and use spiritual 'sex'-related Gu magic as a deception to deceive.
The success rate of this is very high, because the deceived person is afraid of the power of the spiritual 'sex' related Gu arts, and has to break the bank to eliminate the disaster, and the second is that the spiritual 'sex' related Gu techniques do not require physical contact, and it is easy to fall for the Gu, so the deceived person is easy to be fooled.
When I was in Thailand, there were also many tour guides who would deliberately tell these magical stories to tourists, intentionally or unintentionally exaggerating the mysterious 'color' of Thai Guju, and at the same time creating a psychological 'yin' shadow for tourists, and these customers were even more convinced when they encountered scammers.
One of the most common methods used by scammers is to trick the victim through their eyes, and if the whites of the tourists' eyes are slightly bloodshot or red, they will be exaggerated until the target is afraid of being deceived.
In fact, the whites of the eyes are slightly bloodshot and bloodshot is a general health condition, and the bloodshot may be due to staying up late the night before, drinking excessively, just cried or had conjunctivitis, so you don't have to worry.
If the blood is crimson and there are blood cells at the end of the blood, it is a sign that there is a problem in some part of the body and you need to go to the hospital.
Unless there are black lines or lots of black 'colored' spots on the upper whites of the eyes, that may require caution
In fact, Gu requires a wizard to have a certain amount of skill, so if it is not a deep hatred, no one will easily give Gu to someone.
As for the origin of Gu magic, there are many theories, and although this ancient culture is evil, it cannot be completely scoffed, although there are many examples of witchcraft harming people, but there are also wizards who teach witchcraft to save people.
It's just that relatively speaking, among the head lowering masters in Thailand, there are some people with improper intentions.
These people have no bottom line in their actions, and they only do things according to their own preferences, and it is not excluded that they may create all kinds of bloody crimes.
"Buddhism is prosperous here in Myanmar, and there is no room for the head descending master, so judging from the other party's Gu trick habits, it should be Thailand's head descending master." Master Gangcuo explained to Lin Xiao and the others, "Judging from the flying insects hatched in Jiana's body, the other party's skills are still very shallow, and they should be junior head descending masters who have just left the school and gone to the mountains to increase their experience." ”
"I see." After Lin Xiao heard this, he nodded, and then asked with some curiosity, "So, what are you going to do with the Gu on Jia Na's body?" Just letting her live in the temple won't solve the fundamental problem, right?"
"The Dharma can naturally resolve all misfortunes." Master Gangcuo smiled slightly, and folded his hands.
Lin Xiao and the others listened, but they were at a loss, they didn't know how Master Gangcuo was so sure?
Now it can be determined that Jia Na has been tricked by Gu, but Lin Xiao definitely doesn't believe that as long as he puts people in the temple, he can be safe and sound.
If the Dharma had really worked so well, I am afraid that the whole world would have been unified long ago, and the facts are very clear, this is simply impossible.
"You can go with the poor monk to see Jana." Master Gangcuo said to Lin Xiao and the others.
"That's very good." Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, in fact, he was also more interested in the situation inside the temple.
Since Master Gangcuo said that there was nothing wrong with Jia Na, then they must have undergone special treatment after bringing Jia Na back, otherwise, how could the Gu poison in her body dissipate on its own?
A few people followed Master Gangcuo and walked all the way inside.
Inside the temple, in addition to the magnificent hall and pagoda, there are also a large number of bamboo buildings, because the climate here is relatively hot, even in the current dry season, the temperature is low, there are about 30 degrees, so the bamboo building is the most comfortable building to live in.
Lin Xiao and the others followed Master Gangcuo for a while, and then came to a bamboo building in the back mountain, and after entering, they saw four young monks, sitting in the four directions of the bamboo building, facing outward, with their upper bodies bare, their faces smeared with oil paint of unknown texture, while knocking on the wooden fish, while reciting scriptures.
Inside the bamboo building, there is a very strong incense, which makes people feel drowsy.
The 'girl' child Jia Na, who had been tricked by the Gu technique, was lying quietly on the bamboo 'bed' at this time, without any clothes on her body, just using a wide blade of grass to cover the sensitive parts.
Lin Xiao glanced at it and found that Jia Na's breath was completely empty at this time, as if she was dead, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
However, he scanned it with his 'essence' divine power, and found that Jia Na was still alive, but the vitality in her body had been minimized by the monks using a certain method.
Today's Jiana should have entered a state of suspended animation.
"Strange, it seems that these monks also have some stunts at the bottom of the box, otherwise, they would not be able to stop the head lowering masters from Thailand." Lin Xiao was amazed when he saw it, and he had a little more respect for this master of Gangcuo in his heart.
Compared with the monks who drink, eat 'meat', use mobile phones, ride cars, and occasionally open up for 'women' and 'women' who have lost their footing, the ascetics here are more likely to gain Lin Xiao's approval.
After all, they can be regarded as true monks only if they behave like this, and those who make money with sesame oil when they wear a robe can only be called bald donkeys.
