Chapter 216 The Miracle of "Compendium of Materia Medica"
After hearing this example from my cousin, I immediately thought of another person: the old patriarch of the Zhao family. He was attacked by a special Yin Qi and became a "living dead". That is to say, although his body is still alive, , but consciousness has slowly been lost.
Sister Li also seemed to have thought of this and quickly asked her cousin: "Uncle, the example of the old lady you mentioned is very similar to the experience of the old patriarch of the Zhao family. Do you still remember that when the old patriarch was in this kind of 'immortal state'? When Xiao Ming was in an inactive state, we also visited him together."
My cousin nodded: "You are right, but do you know that if a person who is immersed in the yin energy of the mountains is not cremated after death and puts the body back into the cave, not only will the body not rot, but the body will not rot. A wonderful change will also occur;
According to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", after a hanged person dies, there will be a charcoal-like object in the soil directly below him. This kind of thing must be taken out quickly, otherwise it will sink quickly. , then it will not be easy to find. In addition, if this kind of thing is not taken out in time, it will cause a serious consequence. Someone will hang himself in this place soon. Why is this? Because this is a special kind of thing. The yin energy has a huge influence on people, and can make people lose their consciousness, just like being possessed by a ghost.
After digging out this charcoal-like thing, you can grind it with water and take it. It can calm the mind, soothe the soul, calm fear, and cure madness.
This kind of Yin Qi is actually similar to the Yin Qi in the cave. If a corpse is left in this Yin Qi for a long time, it will turn into something like a zombie. Although the corpse that undergoes this change will It still has the shape of a human, but its way of thinking and behavior is more like an animal. It is especially aggressive towards living people, because the yang energy emanating from living people and the yin energy from them are like Water and fire will conflict with each other, that is to say, when Yang Qi appears, they feel as if they are being attacked, so they will fight back desperately.
Therefore, according to my guess, the murderous 'ancient people' in the valley are actually this kind of 'zombie'. Once they encounter the yang energy of the four explorers, they will attack without any hesitation."
We all listened to our cousin's speculation in shock, still feeling a little unbelievable.
Sister Li asked weakly from the side: "Uncle, you always said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that "after a person hangs, something like charcoal will appear in the soil under his feet." Is it true? According to our review of "Compendium of Materia Medica" "Compendium of Materia Medica" is a precious medical book in our country. How could it have such unreliable content?"
When my cousin heard what Sister Li said, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a "Compendium of Materia Medica" from the top, and then slowly turned to a page and showed it to us. The subtitle is, "Human Department, Human Soul"
What follows is:
This is a hanged person. There is something like bran and charcoal under it. If you dig it out immediately, you will get it. If you wait a little longer, it will go deeper. If you don't dig it out, you will be hanged again. The human body receives the two qi of yin and yang to form a body, and the soul gathers to live. When it disperses, it dies, and when it dies, the soul rises to the sky, the soul falls to the earth, and the soul is Yin, and its essence sinks to the earth and turns into this thing; it is also like the stars falling into stone, the tiger's death gaze falling to the ground and turning into white stone, and the human blood entering the ground. It means phosphorus and green.
[Indications] Calm the mind, soothe the soul, calm fear and madness, take it with water (Shizhen).
To be honest, I, Xiao Lei and Sister Li have never read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" at all. We only know that it is a rigorous medical book compiled by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty of my country. We did not expect that there is such a record.
Hongmei, on the other hand, did not come over to take a look. Apart from nodding her head to what her cousin said, she just sat there quietly, as if thinking about something. However, as a doctor who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, she is definitely not as good as Cousin when it comes to medical books. My uncle knows even more, and he is very familiar with classic Chinese medical books such as "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Now we kind of believe our cousin's inference. Could it be that those people were really from the Qin Dynasty. In that cave filled with special Yin Qi, under the special influence of Yin Qi, did they really become "zombies" in the end? However, we still feel it is a bit too much. Incredible.
Hongmei, who had been silent at the side, suddenly turned to the side and said softly to Sister Li: "Sister Li, your classmate in the Public Security Bureau may have something else going on, and I didn't tell you, as if to you. It seems like it was deliberately concealed.”
Sister Li was stunned by Hongmei's words and quickly asked: "Oh, how did you know, Hongmei, what did he hide from me?"
Hongmei smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten? The last time we took action, we almost died in that pit. There were corpses, a lot of silver, and of course, deadly poisonous gas in that pit."
"Yes, but are the police sure to find that hole?" Sister Li asked still a little puzzled.
"Based on common sense, they should have discovered that carefully searching the environment around the crime scene is an indispensable part of solving the case. The valley is not big, and the pit is really special. There are so many people's bones, and There is still a lot of silver, how could we not find it," Hongmei explained.
We all think what she said makes sense. Of course, the Public Security Bureau has its own disciplines and important case details and circumstances cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Even if they don't tell Sister Li these circumstances, it's understandable.
As soon as Hongmei talked about this, the mysterious pit of corpses, the silver ingots in it, and the baby-shaped monster that emerged from below suddenly appeared in our memory again. That terrifying scene in the dark night. It still scares us.
If my cousin is the "number one think tank" of our team, then Hongmei is definitely the second. She usually doesn't speak much, but whenever she speaks, she often hits the mark. She's a beautiful woman, plus Such intelligence and wisdom are really uniquely attractive to men.
Seeing that we were all listening to her attentively, Hongmei continued: "I came back from the Feng Shui master yesterday, and after hearing him talk about so many grudges and grudges between him and Blind Man Gao, I thought a lot. I feel like I have made a very important discovery, that is to say, I seem to have found a way to track down the blind man."
Although Hongmei's words were not loud and her tone was still weak and gentle, to the rest of us, they were like a muffled thunder.
Xiao Lei said excitedly: "I really have you, Hongmei. Please tell me how to track Blind Man Gao. Isn't this the biggest problem we are facing now?"
My cousin's eyes also shone, and he said with a smile: "That's great, girl, I've been thinking about it for a long time, I don't even have a clue, but I didn't expect that you actually figured it out, please tell everyone."
Hongmei blushed and smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "What I think is not necessarily correct, it is just an inference. Well, I will tell you and let everyone know if there are any loopholes.
This is what I think. According to the experiences told by the Feng Shui master, in fact, his situation back then was somewhat similar to ours now. We all wanted to find the blind man Gao and kill him. Also, the difficulties faced by the blind man were the same. His whereabouts are mysterious, and if you want to find him, you don’t know where to start;
Of course, later they accidentally got a clue that the blind man Gao would come to the bank to exchange money for the ocean. With this important clue, he and the old Taoist priest finally succeeded in tracking the blind man Gao.
From this incident, we can get an important inspiration. Although the blind man has an extremely special physique and has lived for more than three hundred years, he also has so many superhuman abilities, such as mind reading ability, super keen sense of smell, etc. In addition, he also has extremely superb martial arts, but in short, from the fact that he needs to exchange silver ingots for ocean flowers, we can judge that he is still a 'human', and he still needs food, clothing, housing and transportation like ordinary people, so he Need to exchange oceans to buy daily necessities.
In other words, if he wants to survive, he still needs to spend money to buy food, clothing, etc. Since he wants to buy these necessities, he will definitely have contact with the outside world.
Since you want to buy something, it is of course inconvenient to buy it directly with silver ingots.
In the past, it was convenient to exchange silver ingots for oceans, but now you must exchange silver ingots for banknotes before you can spend it. Where can you exchange silver ingots for banknotes? It must be a gold and silver jewelry store, or an antique shop, or Pawn shops and the like.
As long as we pay attention to these places, we may find the blind man. Although his makeup skills are extremely superb, don't forget that we now have corpse worms that we got from the Feng Shui master. This kind of corpse worm is a magic weapon for identifying the blind man. As soon as the blind man appears in these places, our bugs will change color, and we can be more targeted. Unlike now, we can't find a clue at all."
"Oh, Hongmei, you are so talented," Xiao Lei shouted excitedly.
My cousin also smiled and gave Hongmei a thumbs up. Sister Li even more excitedly hugged Hongmei's shoulders and said repeatedly: "Hongmei, you are really a female Zhuge Liang. It's great, it's great. "
When everyone praised her, Hongmei's face turned even redder, and she quickly said shyly and modestly: "Thank you for your praise. This view may not be mature. In practice, there will definitely be many difficulties."
Unexpectedly, we finally found a way to solve the biggest difficulty in front of us. Although this method may not be perfect, it has brought us great hope after all, because our vacations are extremely limited, so we can no longer tolerate it. If you have any hesitation, since you think this method is feasible, implement it immediately.
