The Feng Shui master seemed very lonely at the moment, and his expression was a little dull. His whole body was slumped on the chair, as if he was trapped in some terrible memories. The few of us did not disturb him, but sat back in our seats silently, waiting quietly. After a long time, the Feng Shui master seemed to break free from his memories and let out a long sigh.

"Master, have you ever dealt with that tall blind man?" My cousin asked cautiously from the side.

The Feng Shui master did not answer immediately, but nodded heavily. The cousin did not ask any more questions, but poured another cup of strong tea for the Feng Shui master and gently held it to the Feng Shui master.

"Did you see that compass-like thing just now?" the Feng Shui master took the tea, took a sip, and suddenly asked confusedly.

We all nodded.

The Feng Shui master continued: "You have all seen that the compass-like thing contains some corpse worms. Although these corpse worms look similar to ordinary maggots, they are actually very different. It is the corpse of a high monk. He was raised by a monk, and this eminent monk, you used his skull powder to make medicine this morning."

We all couldn't help being surprised. It seemed that this eminent monk was indeed extraordinary. Not only did his skull have special effects, but even the insects on his corpse were so strange. What kind of strange man was he?

The Feng Shui master continued: "If it is ordinary maggots, they will eventually emerge into flies, but this kind of corpse insects will not. They are in this state from beginning to end, and their survivability is extremely strong. As long as you give them a little carrion, they will They will reproduce from generation to generation, and their lifespan is extremely long and extremely accurate. Each one lives for seven years, and generally does not die early, and rarely lives longer than seven years. With this life span, ordinary maggots It is incomparable, so some people say that these are maggots that have become sperm.

I brought them back from Tibet. Counting this year, it has been fifty-six years, and they have been reproduced for seven or eight generations. When I brought them back, I only had seven or eight in a small bottle, but I don’t know why. These bugs reproduce extremely slowly and can be balanced within a certain number, which is extremely rare in the biological world.

But for some reason, one of the seven or eight corpse worms that was originally brought survived, and this corpse worm has survived to this day."

It is really incredible that a bug has lived for fifty or sixty years. In our concept, the longest life span of bugs with lower life forms is only a few months.

Although these bugs made us very sick, when the Feng Shui master said this, we couldn't help but be curious, especially my cousin. He immediately walked to the "compass" and began to carefully look for the bug with the longest lifespan. Finally, our ability to tolerate "disgusting" things is stronger than that of young people. We are still a little hesitant about whether we should go over and take a closer look.

Suddenly, my cousin shouted: "Is it this insect?"

After he shouted like this, we couldn't care much anymore and quickly moved over to take a look.

Holding back the strong feeling of nausea, I suddenly noticed that the redness of these bugs that were still red just now had faded away without knowing when, and it faded so completely. Now they are white and tender, without a trace of red. More like maggots.

In the middle of this group of bugs, we found that one of them was very long, more than a foot long, and what was even more incredible was that this bug had an obvious "head", and there were actually holes on its head. He has a "face" that is somewhat similar to a human face.

Nausea, shock, fear, horror, all kinds of complex feelings came up together, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. Suddenly, three words flashed through my mind: human-faced bug, the kind used to kill Jewish worm.

According to the description in the book, many of the characteristics of the human-faced bug and the long bug in the compass are so consistent, but the bug in this compass is longer and larger.

Is there really any connection between this bug and the human-face bug? This question is swirling in my mind.

The Feng Shui master was still sitting in his chair looking at us, without much expression on his face.

"Master, is the insect you mentioned that has lived for more than fifty years the longest one?" my cousin asked loudly.

The Feng Shui master still just nodded slightly.

"Seeing this bug reminded me of the roundworms we had when we were children. At that time, the sanitary conditions were poor, and a high proportion of children had roundworms. There were even roundworms that often came out of the children's vagina. I remember the most exaggerated time. A roundworm over a foot long, about the same length as this worm, crawled out from the mouth of a friend I was playing with." Old people just love to reminisce about the past. It seems that my cousin sometimes also No exception.

Sister Li felt that what her cousin said was too far-fetched and questioned loudly: "No way, cousin, are you exaggerating a lot?"

"My cousin is not exaggerating. It was caused by the sanitary conditions of that era, although it sounds a bit weird now." Because she is a doctor, Hongmei obviously has a relatively good understanding of this aspect of history.

I did not intervene in their discussion, but asked my cousin directly: "Don't you think this longest bug looks a bit like the human-faced bug that killed the Jews?"

After I reminded him like this, my cousin's eyes lit up, he nodded sharply, and then became silent. I knew that he seemed to feel that there was some subtle connection between the two.

After watching it for a while, the novelty wore off, and the bad habits and discomfort took over again, so we did it again, but looking at the Feng Shui master, his expression was much more relaxed than before.

My cousin asked the Feng Shui master: "Master, how did you know when the blind man came? Do you also have the ability to foresee the blind man?"

The Feng Shui master shook his head with a bit of laughter: "If I had his ability, I wouldn't be so afraid of him. Maybe I could kill him long ago, and I wouldn't have to sleep poorly and eat well for so many years." .

When the Feng Shui master said this, we knew that the two might have fought against each other a long time ago, and the Feng Shui master must be at a disadvantage, otherwise he wouldn't be so "blind and blind".

"When I deal with Blind Man Gao, I have nothing but those bugs you just saw in the compass. They are my saviors. Without them, I might have been killed by Blind Man Gao a long time ago."

Hearing what the Feng Shui master said, we felt even more strange. How could that blind man with extraordinary talents and abilities be afraid of these maggot-like corpse insects? The more we heard, the more confused we became.

The Feng Shui master saw the confusion on our faces, relaxed his expression slightly, smiled lightly, and then told us the whole story in detail.

It turns out that the reason why the Feng Shui master was able to tell that the blind man Gao was coming was mainly based on the bugs in the compass. If the bugs were colorless, everything would be fine. But as long as the blind man Gao approached the house, the bugs would appear. The color will turn into a light red.

Why these corpse bugs have these characteristics should start with that extraordinary eminent monk. This eminent monk lived on the Tibetan Plateau. He had extraordinary abilities since he was a child. He entered a temple when he was very young and became a monk. Because he was extremely smart, he read almost all the Buddhist scriptures when he was more than ten years old. At that time, monasteries and monks often held fighting meetings to see who studied the Buddhist scriptures more thoroughly and who understood the Buddhist scriptures through debates. The understanding is deeper, and this eminent monk wins every time.

One year, the old host felt that his health was getting worse and worse day by day. He knew that there was not much time left, so he thought of arranging the host position as soon as possible. In his mind, he had three good candidates, one of whom was the only one at that time. A teenage monk.

In order to test the three people, the old host came up with a test method. He asked people to dig three caves on the hillside, and then asked each of the three people to enter a cave to meditate. During the retreat, no food or water was given to anyone. If you can't stand it anymore, you can pull the rope inside, and then the bell outside will ring. In this way, the retreat is over, and you can come out to eat and drink normally, but only the one who comes out last will be the new abbot of the temple.

Who doesn't want to be the host? Before starting the retreat, these three people were all gearing up and eager to try. When the three people entered the cave, the curtain outside the cave entrance was immediately lowered, and just like that, the three people began to fight.

The reason why these three people are chosen as hosts is because they are all outstanding in terms of their knowledge of Buddhist scriptures and their meditation skills.

One day passed, two days passed, and three days passed. None of the three people rang the bell, ended their meditation, and withdrew from the competition. Until the fourth day, one of the three people finally couldn't stand it anymore. He rang the bell with almost the last bit of his strength, thus withdrawing from the competition. However, he could no longer walk out on his own. Instead, several monks dragged him out.

After another two days, the other one couldn't stand it anymore and rang the bell himself and gave up the competition. It was obvious that this eminent monk, who was only in his teens at the time, was the final winner. Since he won, then There was no need to continue meditating, but the eminent monk did not choose it immediately, and continued to fast and meditate every day.

It wasn't until the fourteenth day that the eminent monk ended his retreat, but surprisingly, he walked out of the cave without anyone's support or help.

After coming out, the old host asked the three people a question, asking them to tell them what visions they saw while meditating when their physical strength and spirit reached the limit of endurance.

The first person to come out said that he saw hot tsampa and butter tea. After hearing this, the old host shook his head. The second person said that he saw the golden Buddha. The old host still shook his head in disappointment. When it was the senior monk's turn, he replied that he saw himself and felt that his whole body was shining with golden light, just like a golden Buddha statue. After hearing this, the monks next to him just curled their lips and felt that this teenage boy was too young. So arrogant.
