The Rural Doctor of the Mountain Spirit
"In the past, there was a mountain." When Xiaoliang said these few words, I saw his scattered eyes suddenly appear spirited. The sound of his speech stopped abruptly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
At this moment, he suddenly convulsed all over, and his mouth spat out black blood one mouthful at a time. Then, his whole body began to twitch, looking like he was worse off than dead.
I anxiously asked: "Xiao Liang, what's wrong?"
I rushed up to pull him up, but Xiao Liang was a man in his thirties after all. I was younger and weaker, and as soon as I walked up to him, he pushed me away with one hand.
After falling to the ground, Xiao Liang's pain became even more unbearable, a kind of pain that others could clearly sense. It was as if when slaughtering an ox, the moment the knife pierces the ox's body, the ox would cry out in pain with tears streaming down its face.
I'm getting a little scared, what if this ghost medicine doesn't cure Xiaoliang's illness but instead kills him? I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to become a ghost doctor again. As soon as I think of Xiaoliang, there is a shadow in my heart.
Suddenly, Xiaoliang got up from his convulsions and ran out of the house. I shouted loudly behind him: "Xiaoliang, where are you going?"
However, Xiaoliang didn't react at all and ran away without a trace.
I also walked out of the house, full of self-reproach. I blamed myself for being too rash, this ghost medicine after all I had never given to anyone before, why couldn't I first try it on small animals before trying it on humans?
In the midst of movement, I completely lost my footing.
Just then, a person suddenly blocked my way. I looked up and saw that Xiaoliang, who had been in agony just now, was staring at me with a smile on his face.
He stared blankly for a moment, then Xiaoliang reached out and pinched his face: "You little brat, you actually dare to bully your uncle."
I came back to my senses and rushed into Xiaoliang's arms, shouting: "Uncle Xiaoliang."
Xiao Liang patted my head: "Uncle Xiao Liang is fine, but you just teased Uncle Xiao Liang, I'm taking note of that."
He squatted down and looked at me: "Little friend, what's your name?"
I excitedly said: "Li Xi."
Xiao Liang touched my head again: "Li Xi, thank you, thank you for helping Xiao Liang's uncle regain his senses. Now it's time to reveal some things."
At this time, I thoroughly came back to my senses, but in my heart, there was a surge of wanting to cry. After all, just now seeing Xiaoliang eat my medicine and fall to the ground in such pain, I was really anxious. But unexpectedly, things changed so quickly, Xiaoliang not only didn't die after eating my medicine, but actually recovered his consciousness.
I was both shocked and delighted, unable to speak. But in my heart, I was thinking about the ghost medicine, my ghost medicine had been successfully refined.
Next, Xiaoliang pulled me by the hand and walked into the village, calling out to the villagers from door to door.
The villagers looked at Xiaoliang one by one and were also stunned: "Xiaoliang, are you really Xiaoliang?"
Xiao Liang pinched his own face: "I'm not Xiao Liang, could I be a ghost?"
"No, I'm saying aren't you stupid? How come."
"You'd better hurry up and gather in the village, I have something important to announce. This matter is of great importance, it's a crisis that affects the safety of the entire village."
Watching Xiaoliang wake up, I should have left. The rest of the things are no longer related to me. But Xiaoliang held my hand and said he wanted to announce something as soon as he woke up, and suddenly I became interested.
Then I followed Xiaoliang all the way to a vacant lot in the village. This vacant lot is usually where villagers gather for meetings, and it can accommodate everyone in the village.
When everyone gathered together, they all stared at Xiaoliang in shock and exclaimed: "Xiaoliang, how did you suddenly become normal?"
This question is actually quite silly, but Xiaoliang still answered: "I was never stupid in the first place."
It can be seen that this little bright fruit is indeed the same as what the old man said before, with a very good personality. No wonder he would be bullied by single men, and the villagers are willing to elect him as the village branch secretary.
Xiao Liang didn't waste any more words, he coughed twice and said to everyone: "Today I've gathered you all here because there's something important to say. Let's get down to business first, we can talk about other things later."
The village head led the way and asked first: "Xiao Liang, what's going on?"
Xiao Liang sighed: "Actually, I was beaten by the bachelor like this, and there is another hidden reason. At that time, apart from stealing from me, I also discovered his other evil deeds, which made him have a wicked heart, in order to shut my mouth, he directly wanted to beat me to death. But I'm lucky, I didn't die."
We all silently listened, but in our hearts we hated that bachelor even more. Someone asked, what was it after all?
Xiao Liang said: "This kid cut down the old willow tree next to our village's ancestral tomb, those few old willows, everyone should remember them."
Someone suddenly realized: "I remembered, indeed there was an old willow tree that was cut down by someone. At that time, we were catching people everywhere, but we didn't catch anyone, and the bachelor refused to admit it."
Xiao Liang said: "That willow tree was cut down by a bachelor, does everyone still remember who planted this willow tree? The Taoist priest who planted the willow tree back then said that our village's feng shui wasn't good, it was a place of great calamity. Those years, our village often had children die young, and there were also ghosts. After the Taoist priest planted the old willow tree, there were no more hauntings."
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiao Liang's words at this time, however, made everyone's face filled with horror: "That Taoist told me that the few willow trees he planted just happened to be a five-element array method, and one cannot be missing. If we cut down one of the willow trees, our village won't be affected too much, but the array will be broken, and the air will be chaotic. This place will still become a great calamity."
"What's the big deal about the law?"
Xiao Liang furrowed his brow: "The Taoist said that as long as the willow trees are here, people's great calamity can be eliminated. But if one of the trees is missing, the formation is broken, and the village still has a great calamity. However, the great calamity does not point to living people, but to the dead."
As soon as this was said, everyone still didn't understand. What is meant by "great calamity pointing towards death"?
I finally understood at this time, what is meant by the great calamity pointing to the dead, refers to the fact that this place will accumulate corpse energy, and the corpse energy will condense but not disperse. Over time, when the corpse energy becomes dense to a certain extent, it will form a place where corpses are nurtured. And what is meant by a place where corpses are nurtured, is that the corpse will undergo changes, and the yin energy will continuously gather, until it becomes extremely powerful.
As I thought of this, I involuntarily looked around and saw that the village indeed had something not quite right, always filled with a kind of vague desolation.
At this time, Xiaoliang loudly explained to the villagers. What he said was indeed the same as the records of the ghost doctor's technique for raising corpses.
"The Taoist said that if the Feng Shui formation is broken, this place will become a gathering place for corpse energy. The corpse energy will gather and condense but not disperse. The dead will undergo corpse transformation, and even turn into corpse monsters. At that time, I'm afraid our village will be completely finished."
The villagers looked at each other in dismay: "What can be done to make up for it?"
Xiao Liang shook his head: "The willow tree was planted by the Taoist priest himself, and when he planted the willow tree, he personally set up an altar in front of it. Now that the Taoist priest is gone, where can we go to find him?"
The villagers said: "Then let's go and invite a master to come and redo the ritual."
"I said at this time: 'Absolutely not, once the law platform is set up, it cannot be easily pulled out, otherwise the suppressed ghosts and monsters will all run out, and by then I'm afraid the village will also be in danger.'"
As for the corpse monster, it must be said that a so-called corpse monster is actually a corpse that has undergone a transformation after being possessed by an evil spirit. If there are dirty things around a person before they die, such as snakes, rats, insects or livestock, it is easy for the corpse to undergo a transformation.
There is a record that in a small mountain village, an old woman lived alone. The old woman's children all went out and didn't even know when the old woman's life was exhausted.
The old woman raised a cat, and in her daily life she relied on this cat. On the day of her death, the old woman held the cat in her arms, lay down on a chair, and died quietly.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly jumped up from the chair. Others may not notice, but those who understand the way know that at the moment when this old woman closed her eyes, she was actually dead.
And now he has become a cat corpse. What is called a cat corpse is a body that has undergone a transformation after being possessed by the spirit of a cat. As soon as the old woman stood up, her face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and she walked with light steps, just like a cat.
What's even more frightening is that after the old woman turned into a cat corpse, she would walk around in the village every night. Some people saw her from afar and saw that her mouth was full of fresh blood, and her shrinking head and body made her look like a beast, scaring the villagers to death.
When Xiaoliang mentioned the corpse monster, I remembered this story and couldn't help but shudder all over, feeling a chill run down my spine.
