Chapter Seventy-One: The Secret of the Old House
"Recruiting Yin Bureau, Gathering Yin Array?" I whispered these two words that made me feel very unfamiliar, and I didn't have any memory of these two words in my head, so I asked Xu Yuanzhi again: "What do you mean?" ”
"This coffin room is an extremely yin thing, the hall qi is not collected, the yin qi is not dispersed, and these ghost trees are blocking the Quartet, which is the yin and yang. The ghost tree attracts the yin energy from all directions and gathers it into the old house, but avoids the yang energy, and in the long run, the old house becomes a place of extreme yin. ”
"Do you remember Sun Guanghe who said that many animals come to worship in this place every full moon night? It's not because there's anything strange in this old house, it's that those Taiyin bodies themselves are particularly sensitive to yin qi, and if they want to practice, they must find the same material supplement as their own physique, and they came here, probably attracted by the yin qi here. ”
After listening to Xu Yuanzhi's explanation, I asked again: "Then who set up this trick here?" What's the point? Also, as I've just seen, this place doesn't look like a place of extreme yin. This extremely yin land is cold all year round, not a single inch of grass grows, insects and ants are not close, and birds and birds do not inhabit, but in addition to the wrong layout, it is no different from the normal land boundary. ”
After listening to me, Xu Yuanzhi stared at the big mulberry tree in front of the house and said, "This is exactly the cleverness of the layout person." ”
With that, he took out a dagger and stabbed it vigorously at the old mulberry tree.
I didn't understand his actions, and I was about to ask again, but I saw a strange scene, the part of the old mulberry tree that he had stabbed actually flowed scarlet liquid!
This scene made me stammer: "This ...... This, the big tree is bleeding? This...... What's going on? ”
Xu Yuanzhi cocked a finger, dipped it in the scarlet liquid, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said, "This is not blood, but tree sap, you smell it." ”
I also followed his appearance, dipped some and smelled it, and a unique fragrance of plants and trees penetrated into my nostrils, making me feel clear for a while, and I asked incredulously, "How can the sap be red?" ”
Xu Yuanzhi wiped the dagger clean and put it away: "This is because this tree was manipulated when it was planted. ”
"Hands and feet? What kind of hands and feet can make a big tree red sap? What does this mean? "I was puzzled.
Xu Yuanzhi didn't answer my question, but asked me, "Have you ever heard of such a thing as a big tree bleeding before?" ”
I've heard of it, and although it sounds a bit unreliable, it's actually happened.
"Three Kingdoms" records that Cao Cao sent someone to cut down an ancient tree in order to build a palace, but several people could not cut it, Cao Cao personally raised a knife to go into battle, and as a result, the ancient tree bled non-stop, frightening a generation of heroes in a cold sweat, embarrassed. There have also been such reports in the newspapers. ”
Xu Yuanzhi asked again: "If you were asked to cut down a tree and go down with a knife, and the tree would bleed, what would you do?" ”
"Do you need to ask? I'm sure I'll be startled, and then I won't cut it. "I didn't even think about it.
That's right, most people won't cut it down anymore when they encounter this situation, thinking that the old tree is fine and dare not touch it again. This served the purpose of the man who had done the work on the tree in the first place. Xu Yuanzhi said slowly.
"The purpose? What purpose? "I'm getting more and more confused.
"Have you ever noticed where most of these trees grow? In front of the temple, at the entrance of the village, and in the cemetery, ......"
"How did I find out about this? This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's hearsay. ”
Xu Yuanzhi patiently explained to me: "There are corpses buried under this kind of tree, one in the south, one in the south, one in the northwest, this is a man-made formation, called 'Four Corpses Bless the Lord'. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "Of course, this is not an ordinary corpse, but a corpse whose soul has been locked in the body, and the soul cannot be reincarnated, but can only be buried underground with the body, so it is also called 'ghoul'." ”
"Ghouls are obsessed ghosts with an obsessive desire to protect their bodies, and they will not allow their bodies to be damaged or allowed to decay. Therefore, they desperately absorb the evil qi around them to keep the corpse from decaying. ”
"And because this ghoul is buried under the tree, most of the evil qi they absorb is actually absorbed by the big tree, and if the big tree absorbs too much evil qi, it will naturally change, and the sap will become bloody."
"And what is the purpose of this?" I couldn't help but ask.
"One theory is that the ghouls and the trees absorb a certain range of evil energy, and naturally they are evil. The second way of saying is to protect the house, do you think that if someone sees that the big tree in front of someone's house suddenly bleeds, will they dare to hit the family's idea again? ”
"You mean to say that these four trees are there to protect this old house from being destroyed?" I interrupted Xu Yuanzhi.
He nodded, "I guess this is probably just one of the reasons, and the more important thing should be to dispel the evil." The yin qi is already full of evil qi, and the combination of yin and evil qi will cause a land boundary where no grass grows, insects and ants are not close, and the existence of these trees just dissolves the evil qi, so that although this place is extremely cloudy, except for the low temperature, no other abnormalities can be seen, which is probably the reason why the cow madman ignores this place. ”
"I see!"
I suddenly felt a little enlightened, but then a new question arose in my heart: "Then guess what was the purpose of the people who built this coffin house and laid down this trick and the four corpses to bless the main array?" ”
Xu Yuanzhi shook his head: "I can't see it for a while, but the situation here is set together, presumably the person who built this old house is not simple, at least above me, the reason why he did this must be for a purpose, it is late today and I can't see it clearly, and I will study it well tomorrow." ”
There is a lot of open space around the old house, but no one cultivates it, so I think the villagers are afraid of this house, so they dare not approach it.
Xu Yuanzhi and I went to the open space to pick up some hay, came back and laid a mat under the wall of the old house, and lay down in our clothes.
Lying in the house where my parents and family used to live, I couldn't calm down.
I tried hard to give wings to my imagination and imagined what it would be like if we were all five in the family right now. Will it be like all ordinary families, full of warmth and laughter?
"Changsheng, I suddenly feel that your parents are not ordinary people." Xu Yuanzhi rolled over, faced me, and pulled me back from the illusion.
Actually, I've thought of this for a long time, if it's an ordinary person, how can I get pregnant with a freak like me who hasn't come out for more than a year? How could he run into this poor ravine and go straight to this old house that had been set up?
But who are they?
I lived with my grandmother until I was seven years old......
Seven years old is the age of ignorance.
