Chapter 31, Forbidden Arts
The diary reads:
"There was an inexplicable illness in the village, and the people who contracted this disease were nausea, dehydration, and fever at first, and then they were bedridden and couldn't get better with any medicine."
"Seven days after the disease appeared, many villagers developed similar symptoms, and everyone started to stay closed."
"The goddess of the village said that this is God to punish them, and these people who are suffering from diseases must be sacrificed, they are possessed by the devil, and only by sacrificing to the gods can everyone be saved, I am the only doctor in the village, I used to go out to study, so I know that this disease is actually a plague that has been spread in the outside world, they call it cholera."
"In the second week, the sick people were arrested, the village goddess was an outsider, she seemed to have some kind of magic to make the villagers believe in her, they were ordered by the goddess to be hanged under this stone bridge, I tried to stop it, but I couldn't stop it."
"In the third week, the sick were gone, but something even more terrible appeared, and the undead were brutally killed, unwilling to leave, wandering around the village."
"In the fourth week, the whole village was shrouded in a mysterious blue mist, and there was no way to escape this place in the mist."
"In the fifth week, people were almost dead, they were afraid that the undead would be counted, they all hid in their homes, some committed suicide, some starved to death."
"In the sixth week, I survived, and one day I sneaked out and found the goddess secretly casting spells under the bridge, and I finally understood that these undead spirits were summoned by the goddess, and she killed everyone."
"I sneaked into the house of the goddess and opened some information, I knew that this is an evil witchcraft, and many people are to be sacrificed, the purpose is to let her get a longer life, her plan is to make the whole village become her sacrifice, I went through her information, I know the way to get out of here, the goddess left a way to the outside world in her own home, this is the road she left for herself."
"In the end, I don't plan to leave, I want to put an end to this demonic ......."
Liu Tie found a knife in the hand of this corpse, which should have been the last time he was going to assassinate the goddess, but here, it seems that he did not see the corpse of the goddess, obviously he failed, the goddess did not die here, but his diary brought us a lot of useful information.
Liu Tie pointed to a place in the diary and said: "There is a date under this diary, which is 1843, during the Qing Dynasty, a year after the end of the Opium War in China. ”
I said slowly: "It seems that this doctor should be one of the few sensible people in this village, but I still found some problems in his diary, first of all, this goddess, she is an outsider, and she knows some forbidden witchcraft, which means that she has long been eyeing this village, the diary says, she wants to gain immortality, I don't know about the Xuanmen, is there really someone who will kill so many innocent people for immortality?" ”
The thief sighed and said: "The world of Xuanmen is more cold-blooded and ruthless than the real world, this kind of thing of immortality, to be precise, there are indeed some very special things or methods in the world, which can increase people's longevity, of course, this is against the sky, how old can you live, it is written in the book of life and death, but if you reach a certain realm, even if the ghosts of the underworld come to arrest you, you don't have to be afraid at all."
I once heard that something similar happened on Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist who attained the Tao was in his forties, his yang life was exhausted, and he came to arrest him, but he was almost not, so the underworld did not dare to send someone to arrest this Taoist, he relied on his own cultivation and heart shape, and he lived for more than 300 years before he was feathered, but like this is a very decent practice.
But some people always think of some side ways to increase their longevity, after all, not everyone can have such cultivation and mind like the Taoist of Qingcheng Mountain, I think this goddess is estimated to be until her own yang life is exhausted, look at people like her must be evil, knowing that it will definitely be uncomfortable to go to hell after death, so I think of this way to obtain immortality, so I think about it, I know why there is a ghost domain here.
This ghost domain is the paradise of the undead, and the underworld can't control it, and it can't be seen, so no one will know about the dead here, I guess the ghost domain here is made by this goddess, she doesn't want the murder of these people to fall on her head, so she creates this ghost domain to hide from the sky and the sea, so that these killings can't fall on her head.
And I found some interesting things, these people are sacrificed, and the sacrificed people will become the soul slaves of the sacrifice object, so these soul slaves will obey the orders of this goddess, she controls these soul slaves naturally not to scare these villagers to death, but to obtain immortality for herself, what did she do next for immortality? It wasn't written in this diary, and I think it should be that the goddess didn't write down such an important thing.
She must have an ulterior motive. ”
The thief said a lot, and he answered the questions that puzzled us a lot.
Ye Xin was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you think witchcraft can really live forever?" This kind of forbidden technique, shouldn't it be all some means to hurt the heavens, and if it is for immortality, then there is more than one goddess in the world who knows witchcraft, but I have never heard of anyone who has obtained a longer life through witchcraft. ”
Lethe, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"I once came into contact with a sorcerer who was very proficient in witchcraft, this person was caught by our superiors, tortured him, and indeed told many secrets about witchcraft, but they were all hurtful things, and I have never heard of the means to achieve immortality."
I thought for a moment and said, "The witchcraft factions are intricate, and what you know may only be a part of it. ”
At this time, the thief looked at me with a surprised look and said, "Eh, Brother Li seems to know something?" ”
I recalled some of the words recorded by my grandfather, and at this moment I also felt a little numb in my scalp, and said: "This doctor may have misunderstood, this goddess, she is not going to sacrifice everyone, but to plunder everyone's longevity, you should know that our Li family has great attainments in feng shui, and many taboo means in feng shui are recorded in the inheritance of our Li family, and these taboo means can achieve some effects of changing life against the sky."
I think that there are similar forbidden methods in witchcraft, so I naturally thought of a terrible result, that is, plunder, and we have similar means in the Feng Shui Forbidden Secret of the Li Family, which can modify and reorganize one person's life and another person's life, and only these two people can be changed, but it has no impact on the normal operation of the world. ”
When the thief heard this, his whole face was extremely surprised, and he said, ", you are a miracle!" ”
Everyone else looked at me like this, and even Lethe's gaze at me was a little hot.
I smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be so simple, changing one's life is to go against the sky, and the slightest carelessness of the caster and the person being cast will be scattered, so although there is a record of this method, no one has ever dared to practice it." ”
