Huangpizi is causing trouble?
Under everyone's curiosity, the old Taoist priest roughly talked about his experience.
Among the people in the North, there has always been a legend of the Five Immortals.
The five immortals refer to the five animals that accompany humans, namely foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats.
Collectively, they are called the Five Immortals of "Fox Yellow, White Willow Gray".
What we are mainly talking about here is the time the old Taoist priest encountered the yellow skin causing trouble, that is, the weasel skin.
That time, although the old Taoist priest just encountered a piece of yellow leather, it was still full of dangers and he almost didn't bother there.
It was deep in a snow-capped mountain covered by heavy snow.
A snowstorm broke out that year. The heavy snowfall came early. Before the villagers in the mountains could store enough food, furs and firewood for the winter, the mountains were closed by heavy snow. The snow outside their doors was up to a foot deep.
It's called a snowy, cold day.
Unprepared, many villagers froze to death in their homes that night.
The old Taoist priest at that time was trapped in a place called Qilitun.
Originally, he was traveling to the countryside at the foot of the mountain. He planned to stay in the countryside for a period of time and do his business of telling people's fortunes and predicting ghost houses through Feng Shui. He would continue on his journey after saving enough money.
As a result, he had just arrived in the countryside and before he settled down, he met a haggard woman wearing a simple coat, sitting in a fellow villager's ox cart, dragging several half-year-old children into the countryside, found an old Taoist priest, and wanted to invite the old Taoist priest to do it in the mountains. A white ritual.
It turned out that the woman's husband was accidentally hit by a tree while logging, half of his head was flattened, so he went down the mountain specifically to ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual for the man's salvation.
If it is a person who has died normally, there is no need to ask Taoist priests or monks to perform rituals.
But this man died accidentally.
It needs Taoist monks to take care of it and some magicians so that the relatives can be buried in peace.
The reason why the widow found the old Taoist priest was because her family was poor. When the man left, he not only left behind a few children, but also the man’s parents. As a helpless widow, she naturally had nothing to offer. How much savings. So she asked the fellow villagers for help and took her to the countryside. She wanted to go to the countryside to find out if there were any cheaper rituals. She happened to bump into an old Taoist priest who was setting up a stall on the roadside to read fortunes.
The village woman saw that the old Taoist priest was very accurate in reading people, so she asked the old Taoist priest if he knew how to do innocent things.
It is the old profession of the old Taoist priests to do simple rituals for people. When the old Taoist priests see business coming to their door, they will take the initiative to push the business out of the door. They must say that they can do it.
To say that this old Taoist priest has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot, he saw that the village woman in front of him looked haggard, her nose was exposed, and her cheekbones were pointed. She was a widow, she was plainly dressed and looked sad. It was probably because a man had just died in the family, and she was dragging a few people with her. As a child, he couldn't get much money in his hands. In order to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, he didn't ask for much money and hurriedly set off for the mountains.
As a result, just a few days after entering the mountain, the old Taoist priest had just buried the person and was about to leave the mountain when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the old Taoist priest had to brave the snow to return to the village.
Fortunately, the village woman repaid her kindness and took in the old Taoist priest and let him live next door to the house of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Naturally, the old man couldn't eat and drink for free, so he acted as a living chopping wood for the man, clearing the snow and going into the mountains to see if he could find some herbs and mushrooms to survive the winter. There were many pine forests in the north, and some mushrooms could grow in the winter.
Although we lived a miserable life, and we were hungry and full, but fortunately we didn't starve to death. In addition, the old Taoist priest had traveled all over the country over the years, and he had a strong ability to survive in the wild. He could find many herbs that were tonic in winter. . So although I was trapped by the snowstorm and didn't have enough to eat every day, I didn't get sick or suffer any disaster.
In fact, such a big snow disaster makes life difficult for the whole village.
Just at this moment, a strange thing happened in the village.
A villager family fished out a body from the river.
That corpse is evil.
It floated under the ice of the river.
That day, several villagers dug holes in the ice to catch fish on the frozen glacier.
As a result, the corpse was lying face up against the river ice, floating down the river until a villager named Zhuangzi dug a hole in the ice.
That is from that day on.
The smell of minced meat began to waft out of the house of this villager named Zhuangzi every day.
There are four members of the family, including Zhuangzi, his pregnant mother-in-law, and his parents. They eat every day with their mouths full of oil and their faces glowing. Others are starved for water and lack of soup. Zhuangzi’s family is the only one in the village. Not only are they not hungry and thin, but they are also nourishing. Come out fat.
So rumors began to spread in the village.
It was said that the strong man had just picked up a corpse from the glacier not long ago, and the smell of meat began to spread from the house every day. It was said that the meat that the strong man and his family ate was not other meat, but the flesh of that corpse.
Zhuangzi had just buried the man during the day, and at night he was so hungry that he dug the man out and took him home to cook.
In the face of the rumors in the village, Zhuangzi's family did not come forward to explain. They kept the door closed every day and rarely went out. They started the stove every day, and the aroma of minced meat came out. The family of four ate greasy every day.
But the weirdness doesn't stop there.
Logically speaking, with four mouths and such a daily eating method, the meat should have been finished long ago, but Zhuangzi's family still had meat to eat every day with four mouths.
Later, rumors spread to the village woman's house where the old Taoist priest stayed, saying that the body of her man had been dug up and eaten by Zhuangzi's family.
This person will go crazy if he eats people. Even jackals, tigers and leopards will not eat the same kind of meat. No matter how hungry he is, he will not eat the same kind of meat because it is easy to get mad.
When Jin An heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Cannibalism is indeed a recipe for madness. It is also known as the epizootic virus.
That's how mad cow disease came about.
Beef cattle eat too much feed made from the same type of offal and broken bones. Although their nutrition improves, they also sow the seeds of disaster and make them susceptible to mad cow disease, which is also known as the epilepsy virus.
Of course.
People in this world do not yet have the concept of viruses.
But it has long been proven that people will become crazy if they eat human flesh.
In the tomb, a group of people walked while listening to the old Taoist priest continue to talk.
After hearing the rumors, the village women rushed to her husband's grave to open the coffin.
However, the bones are normal.
There was no sign that the soil on the grave had been disturbed.
However, the body that Zhuangzi had retrieved from the glacier and buried was missing.
Although the body of the village woman's husband was still there, the body picked up by Zhuangzi was missing. This reinforced the villagers' initial suspicion that Zhuangzi's family had eaten the man.
When encountering such an evil thing, the villagers could not stand still. They were afraid that the Zhuangzi family was addicted to cannibalism and would eventually eat the corpses. Who could guarantee that the Zhuangzi would go crazy and eat his fellow villagers? That day, everyone rushed to Zhuangzi's house, smashed the door and rummaged through the boxes, but they were surprised to find no human flesh, bones or corpses as they imagined.
The villagers, who were still angry at first, were now in a dilemma.
At this time, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law screamed in pain. It turned out that the villagers came to her house and beat her up. The adults were frightened and had fetal gas, and the child in her belly was born prematurely.
As a result, on that day, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law had a dystocia and died on the bed, with blood flowing all over the floor. On that day, the midwife fainted from fear, because what Zhuangzi's mother-in-law gave birth to was not a baby, but a weasel skin. !
That night, Zhuangzi's family was in trouble. The mother-in-law died in childbirth. Her eyes were wide open and she could not close her eyes. However, she gave birth to a weasel skin in eight months of pregnancy. Zhuangzi was so frightened that he peed his pants. That night he hurriedly found the old Taoist priest and begged him for help. , save him, save his parents.
The old Taoist priest had already heard about the matter of Zhuangzi's family. The old Taoist priest did not refuse Zhuangzi's request for help. He said that he could save people, but Zhuangzi must tell him all the truth truthfully and not hide anything, otherwise he would not be able to help with this matter. busy.
The reason why the old Taoist priest was willing to help Zhuangzi was because when Zhuangzi came to ask for help, he could tell at a glance that the strongman didn't look like he had eaten human flesh at all.
People who have eaten human flesh will have their teeth blackened and their hands and feet trembling.
The signs are clear.
But Zhuangzi does not have these characteristics.
When Zhuangzi saw that the old Taoist priest was willing to save him, he immediately grasped the last straw like a drowning man, naturally desperately trying to survive, so he told the truth.
Just a few days after the snowstorm hit and the mountains were closed by heavy snow, Zhuangzi began to go into the mountains to look for food. Because his mother-in-law was pregnant, both adults and children needed nutrition, so he took on the responsibility of being a husband and a man and went deep into the snowy mountains. Looking for food everywhere.
That day.
He went deep into the snow-capped mountains, chasing a rabbit, and accidentally found a snow-capped mountain village buried in heavy snow.
It was an abandoned deserted village.
It was also the first time for Zhuangzi to see this snow village.
Never seen it before.
It seems that the snow village appeared only during this snowstorm.
At that time, the only thing that Zhuangzi could think about was that he was here, he didn't want to waste all his efforts, and he wanted to catch the rabbit so that he could immediately nourish his mother-in-law and the baby in his belly, so he stepped into this strange snowy village alone.
In order to embolden himself, he even deceived himself and said that there was no village here before, but now there is a snow village. Maybe he misremembered the location and followed the hare in the wrong direction in the snowy mountains.
In this way, Zhuangzi encouraged himself to enter the snow village alone.
But there is nothing in Snow Village.
no one.
No animals.
Not even the droppings of animals hiding in the snow are left here.
There were no animal paw prints in the snow.
The entire snow village was clean except for his own footprints when he came from behind.
Zhuangzi looked around from room to room, each room was empty, until he found a painting in one room.
There were no people in the painting, only a bare temple, a snow-capped mountain temple.
As a result, when he returned home that day, Zhuangzi had a dream. He dreamed that he came to a snow mountain temple, and a great immortal lived in the snow mountain temple.
The great immortal said that Zhuangzi would salvage a corpse tomorrow. That corpse was her physical body in the mortal world. Although she was in the immortal class, her physical body in the mortal world could not be laid to rest after her death. She would not be able to report to the immortal world, and she would not be able to truly occupy her position. The Immortal Class then wanted to beg Da Zhuang to salvage the body and bury it in the village. This would be a meritorious deed and would bring good results to her, so that she would have no worries about food and drink in this life.
The strong man is doubtful.
As a result, he really recovered a body the next day. That is to say, the next morning after the burial, Zhuangzi got up early in the morning and opened the door and saw a hare hanging outside the door.
Zhuangzi was so happy that he really thought that his kindness moved the immortal in heaven. He set up a longevity tablet for the immortal at home, burned incense and prayed for blessings.
In fact, he didn't know.
It’s okay if he doesn’t set up a longevity card.
This act is tantamount to planting the seeds of disaster, inviting wild gods into the house, and killing his mother-in-law and unborn child.
Just when the family of four had a feast, a rare meal after the snowstorm, that night, the great immortal once again entrusted Zhuangzi with a dream, saying that Zhuangzi had eaten the food she sent, and her body left in the world was lying in the cold. It was cold underground, and no one worshiped her. She hoped that Zhuangzi could visit her grave and talk to her.
Zhuangzi, who had tasted the sweetness once, quickly agreed this time.
As a result, the next morning after the worship, a pheasant hung outside the door and window of Zhuangzi's house again. Zhuangzi, who was still excited and ecstatic at the time, didn't know that he was inviting the wild god into the house, which would bring disaster.
Yesterday, the great immortal was unable to enter his house due to his lack of cultivation, so he could only hang hare meat on the door of his courtyard.
It was hung directly on the window of his house today.
On the third day, the Immortal dreamed again, saying that this time chicken blood would be dripped on her grave to nourish her mortal body.
Zhuangzi did as he was told, and it happened that there was still a bowl of chicken blood left to stew from the pheasant slaughtered yesterday.
Sure enough, the next day, there was another hare hanging on the door and window.
On the fourth day, the Immortal asked for dog blood in her dream, on the fifth day, she asked for live birds to be buried in her grave, and on the sixth day, she asked for human blood...
Although Zhuangzi wondered why the Immortal wanted human blood, at that time Zhuangzi had no doubts about the Immortal's ability. Although he had some doubts, he still went ahead and dedicated his own blood to the Immortal.
However!
Zhuangzi soon discovered that things were not that simple.
The immortal's desire became stronger and stronger, and the things he began to ask for became more and more unbearable. It was not difficult at first, but later, he actually started asking for people's fingers.
Even live birds could no longer satisfy her desire, so she asked Zhuangzi to find her a baby and bury it in the soil of her grave.
Zhuangzi was really frightened this time.
He didn't do it.
The Great Immortal did not embarrass Zhuangzi, so he wanted the head of Zhuangzi's old father instead, because the Great Immortal said that Zhuangzi had leaked his affairs to his father, and the Great Immortal's name was not allowed to be blasphemed by ordinary people. Zhuangzi had to pay the penalty if he blasphemed the gods. There is a price to pay.
No matter how hard Zhuangzi begged, the immortal refused to go around his father.
That same night, Zhuangzi's mother-in-law had severe abdominal pain and almost miscarried. The immortal once again entrusted Zhuangzi with a dream. In the dream, she changed her previous kindness. This time she tore off the disguise and warned Zhuangzi with sharp teeth that today was just a little boy. As a small punishment, if the father's head was not sacrificed to her, the son's wife would be killed and killed the next day.
This warning made Zhuangzi understand that he was luring the wolf into the house, but it was too late to regret it.
It was impossible for him to commit patricide, so he just kept on doing it and took advantage of the dawn to dig out the body of the great immortal and burn it clean.
Zhuangzi thought that by doing this, he would be able to stay unnoticed. No one in the village would know that he had invited an evil god to the village, and the family of four could continue to stay in the village until the snowstorm was over.
There is still a lot of meat stockpiled at home, which is enough for them to survive this snowstorm year.
In the next few days, as Zhuangzi expected, the immortal did not come to him again in his dream. It seemed that the nightmare had ended with the fire burning the body.
Until, some villagers broke into his house, causing his mother-in-law to give birth prematurely and giving birth to a weasel skin. His parents were so frightened that they fainted and fell to the ground. The family was ruined in an instant.
But it was too late for Zhuangzi to repent, and his family was ruined.
In order not to involve my parents.
Then he ran to the old Taoist priest and begged him to save his parents.
…
Snap.
Snap.
In the empty cave, the team of ten people continued to move forward.
Everyone was quiet all the way, listening to the experiences of the old Taoist priest.
"Yukimura?"
"Weasel skin?"
"So it turns out that the Taoist priest who came from the snow-covered mountains to report the case to the government was Taoist priest Chen?"
The captain who spoke this time was the general.
He looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise.
The surprise on his face was beyond words.
"Daozhang Chen, you may not have an impression of me. I also heard this from a visiting friend..." After stopping and walking, they had walked out of the tomb passage in front of them, and a step appeared in front of them, leading to a huge high platform in front of them. platform.
Tick tock!
Suddenly.
The soft sound of a drop of water made everyone tense.
"Hush, there's movement!"
The captain made a silent movement and looked solemnly at the high platform in front of him.
