I have a second uncle, who was a profiteer when I was young. About 20 years ago, he got a treasure from the Nujiang River in Yunnan Province, specifically, a Things, because this Things finally provoked some strange and even creepy existence.
At that time, the domestic security check was not very strict. Second Uncle got this treasure and found a Green cars, ready to go back to the mainland to sell it overnight.
Because the climate in Yunnan was humid and the locals were unfamiliar with it, the world was chaotic. when he got on the bus, it was almost early morning. juwan was tired and sleepy at that time, and his seat wasintheinnermost part. he told the people outside that he was guilty and fell asleep.
Just fell asleep for a while, there seems to be a man beside him shaking him crazily. juwan barely opened his eyes and saw a blind man in rags. his face was full of sores and scars, and there was still pus and stench in it. all the people around him covered their noses to avoid it.
The most frightening thing was that the blind man's eyes were covered with two thick dead scars. In the middle of the hole, I didn't know what to use to drill two small holes. Through the dim light of the carriage inside, I could vaguely see something glittering and translucent inside the two small holes.
Second uncle was angry and anxious at that time, but he didn't care so much. He forced himself to sleep and scolded the blind man. The blind man mumbled something and couldn't say for sure. He just looked up out of the window from time to time, as if he were afraid of something.
Second uncle estimated that this person should be crazy, he ignored, wrapped in clothes and fell asleep.
No one bothered me this time, but the road was bumpy at that time. juwan woke up after sleeping for an hour and suddenly felt something was wrong in a daze.
Here, let's add that they have been wandering around all the year round. They worship not Guanyin Bodhisattva and Taoist true king, but a monkey, the red monkey in the Journey to the West. They pay attention to a person who knows yin and yang, knows how to deal with people, and is good at going in and out. Only in this way can they avoid death and prolong life, and whether they are extremely prosperous or not.
Therefore, juwan's keenness is far better than that of ordinary people. when I was young, I often pestered him to show me such skills as holding flies with one hand.
Pull away, then said, juwan was aware of something was wrong, back hair all burst, have no sleep.
Because his circle was silent.
Originally the carriage inside was packed full of people, all turned the clock, and those who did not have seats still gathered together to talk nonsense, but the seat next to the second uncle was quiet, there was no sound, even no breathing!
He looked up carefully, only to find that the two passengers sitting beside him didn't know when they had all changed, and whether they had got off the station or not, and had been replaced by a strange man and a strange woman.
The man said nothing. He looked down at the newspaper. But how did you say that look? It was not like the eyes of the living. It was dead gray.
The most horrible thing is that woman, sitting in the seat directly opposite the Second Uncle, with a baby in her arms and her head down motionless, looks like a wooden statue, the wooden idol enshrined in the temple inside, without life.
With all the children in her arms, there was no sound of crying.
People who have given birth to children may know that children usually have their eyes open, so they will fall asleep when the sun is shining during the day, and they will cry incessantly and find it difficult to fall asleep when yin qi is exuberant at night. I heard from Second Uncle that this is because those children saw something they shouldn't have seen.
The child in this woman's arms is motionless, as if she is holding a stillbirth.
And the two men are wearing thick coats, wrapped tightly. The problem was that it was summer at that time, and the train had not yet left Yunnan. The weather in Yunnan was well known. People were all wearing short-sleeved shorts, but this man and woman were wearing coats, saying it was not weird or fake.
Second uncle felt something was wrong at that time and struggled to think about it, but under his feet he seemed to be rooted in the car and could not lift it anyway. moreover, he was limp and had no strength. that kind of feeling was just like a ghost bed.
At that time, the second uncle's heart sank. He met Things.
Second uncle later told me that his face was the same when he told me about this matter. In his early years in travel the length and breadth of the country, he saw strange things more than once. We were like Kunlun Mountains Ding, The Goddess Of Mountain Temple, and Blood Pool Meat Woods. Even when we were trapped under the pillars of Bridge of Dragons for three days and three nights, when we came out, besides looking pale, we could still brag and fart with me with a smile, and then we should eat and drink.
But what he said next even sounded to me now, and I felt a chill running down my spine.
At that time it was still dark, it was the heaviest moment of the day in yin qi. I did not know when it was foggy outside the window, nor did I know where Green cars was driving through the window.
At this moment, the whole car jolted like a lumbricus turning over. inside's luggage and cargo crashed all over the floor, causing many passengers to wake up in pain. Second uncle also slipped under the table without paying attention to the whole person.
He discovered that the woman holding the child opposite had a pair of three-inch golden lotus.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the wind prevailed in foot-binding. The feet of the young girl were tightly bound to swathe with cloth straps. Finally, they were abruptly wrapped into three inches long and then put on embroidered shoes, which were three inches golden lotus.
Only this kind of bad habit has rarely appeared since liberation, and the woman holding the baby has a pair of three-inch golden lotus on her feet. The second uncle was just hurrying to comment. He climbed out of the chair and sat down again without much thought. The pair of shoes he had just seen reappeared in his heart.
The embroidery on the top is fussy and elegant, and the design of the pattern is of unknown origin. It is a headless phoenix bird!
The burn bird spreads its wings and wants to fly for nine days. It is a sign of Soul Ferry, but its neck is empty. It looks strange and permeates people. It seems to indicate something unknown.
At the same time, Green cars had already stopped running, and inside was in a mess. People woke up and crowded around the car. From time to time there were people shouting what train had derailed and all sorts of shaking words.
However, the strange thing is that no matter how crowded the carriage is, people seem to subconsciously avoid the two rows of seats near juwan. it seems that an invisible force distorts the light. the two rows of seats where juwan is located are separated from the rest of the world.
Second uncle looked at this strange scene in the heart is a little uneasy, but he has been wandering outside for so many years, there are still some rely on, that is, a string of life for his left wrist knot.
He met a strange man in his early years. The strange man looked at his ugly appearance and was living on the streets. His uncle was kind and sent him three steamed buns. The strange man took the steamed buns and gave him this string of life-saving knots.
The life-saving knot looks like a purple vine woven together. There are three rattan knots on it. Different people say that a rattan knot can save the life of Uncle Er. Uncle Er has always regarded it as a treasure, and he was cautious at ordinary times, so he borrowed it from his friend once in his early years, and later we used it under the pressure of Bridge of Dragons.
For this reason, juwan confided in me. I knew this thing was so divine. at the beginning, let alone three steamed buns, I gave the man three catties, no, 30 catties of white flour steamed buns.
Having said that, juwan's heart is still a little suspicious, after all, for no reason provoke to two Things of unknown origin, also don't know why they come, what plot. He looked at a strange man and a strange woman and suddenly remembered the treasure he had found in Kunming.
That is a jade heart.
This thing was bought by juwan from a peddler in Yunnan at that time. it is said that it was excavated from a jade mine near the Myanmar border. the jade mine was excavated for a period of years, several kilometers deep, and the inner passage was curved and complicated. it is said that many people died during theanti-Japanese war, often absenteeism was found in it to dig up some ancient bodies, even ancient bodies.
As the saying goes, a thousand years of stone and ten thousand years of jade. When the ancients were buried, they often had a jade in their mouth, because they believed that jade was reiki, could dissolve all kinds of poisons, ward off evil Guardian, and could survive for a long time.
The jade heart found by juwan is said to have been taken out of a dead population. Second uncle thought of here in the heart is probably thorough, but haven't figured out how to with the two Things metasomatism, car suddenly more than a group of people dressed in military uniforms.
That's an army man.
In those days, the world was not very peaceful. People went out to various Tales of Larceny, but wherever they were, as long as there were people in military uniforms, their hearts were at ease.
However, on this big night, the train stopped in the wild, and people from the army came in less than ten minutes. This matter is a bit strange in every way.
After a brief commotion, the people in Green cars slowly regained their calm under the control of the army. Everyone was sitting in their seats, only whispering something from time to time.
Second uncle looked at that a group of military people in the car to maintain order, the in the mind also anxious, their line to put it bluntly from ghosts and gods to rob food, Fear Neither Heaven Nor Earth, but only have a congenital fear of soldiers.
And although before the carriage inside people can't see themselves, but these uniforms look like a cold gas, obviously not the kind of Recruit who just joined the army, is seen a sword drenched in blood rain, the sun be the spirit of the body is heavy, Things's mask, can deceive ordinary people, but for this kind of person, hanging.
As luck would have it, a military uniform glanced at him and seemed to notice juwan with a wide mouth: "fellow townsman, are you sitting here alone?"
Said on AIRS to second uncle next to the seat.
The second uncle mentioned that it was not an empty seat. There was still a Things sitting there. He glanced at Wetherby, who looked like a dead man beside his eyes. He could not help but wonder what the uniform would look like when sitting on it. He opened his mouth to remind him.
However, the military uniform looked at only as a pose and stood up straight again.
Second uncle this just reckon with, the mouth to cope with a few words, the military uniform to cope with the past, by the way and beat about the bush to ask the next Green cars stop track this matter.
The military uniform looked lax, hesitated, and said a few vague words, but juwan went out for many years, or borrow these words to speculate about the things out of a half, at that time the heart is one's heart sank.
There are foxes blocking the way ahead, the train was forced to stop!
The foxes were in droves and, like being commanded, their upper bodies were sitting upright on the front rails. There were more than tens of thousands of them. Under the cover of the night, there was a dark area and they could not see their heads at all.
Second uncle just thought about this scene in his heart, and he felt a kind of evil, feeling these animals have become fine, deep Shan Ye woods don't drill, come out with people Land grabbing,
He subconsciously pinched the jade heart in his arms. It didn't take long for him to get this treasure. Strange things happened one by one. First, two Things got on the bus and the fox group stopped him. Are they all running for this jade heart?
This thing, what ability can attract so many strange existence?
Second uncle's face suddenly turned white. He only felt that the baby in his arms was a Too Hot to Handle that could not be thrown out. But at this moment, there was a train whistle in the distance. Those troops seemed to receive some instructions and went down the train one after another.
From time to time, there are still several military uniforms that cheer the passengers on the bus loudly, saying that just now it was just a train failure and now it has been ruled out, reassuring everyone.
Are those foxes scattered in front of us? Second uncle came up with this idea in my heart, he turned to a look, the opposite seat is empty, the two Things don't know when unexpectedly also all disappear.
It seems that everything that happened before is just a dream.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind juwan, clutching juwan's sleeve with inhuman strength.
Juwan looked back and saw that the man was dressed in rags. His arms, neck and even face, which were exposed outside the clothes, were all covered with horrible, poisonous sores and scars, unspeakable terror.
It was the blind man I met when I was in Green cars.
Second uncle took a deep breath, this is not as easy as when he was asleep, the blind man can be so close when he was awake, coupled with the previous reminder, obviously is also a hidden makes.
He pressed down his temper and said in a small voice, "Can I help you, this master?"
The blind man faltered and seemed to have something stuck in his throat. It was very difficult for him to speak. He struggled to spit out a few words: "They are ... not here ... go ..."
His voice was hoarse, like fingernails across the blackboard.
SEC. Uncle looked out of the window, the night was shrouded in outside, can only see a dark as the sea, now Green cars has not yet started, and in front of the fox group also don't know where to go, wild so trade rushed out, and where can I go?
The blind man seemed to feel juwan's hesitation. his face twitched and he could hardly hold out a few words: "the bus ... is dying ... go!"
"Everyone on the bus is going to die?" The second uncle's eyelids jumped and he looked back at the full crowd in the carriage. Those people were still discussing the matter tirelessly and were completely unaware of the impending disaster.
All the people on this list of Green cars will die? Is it because of those fox groups before? Or the three Things?
Second uncle's face was gloomy. he only felt his heart pounding and his blood gushing into his forehead. "dry!"
He opened his mouth and hesitated to remind the people on the bus, but did not know how to say it at the moment. The blind man beside him looked from time to time from left to right, as if he could not wait any longer. he took juwan's hand and rushed under the bus.
Immediately, the second uncle a grind teeth, also can not consider packing, conveniently picked up his perennial hand that long smoke pot, followed the blind man, while no one noticed, sneak down the Green cars, through the cover of night, ran to the distance.
In the middle of the night, the wind was very sharp, with a strange echo that sounded cool.
They stumbled along the way and did not know how long they had been running. They could only see the distant mountains rising and falling in the dim light of night, as if they were huge and horrible monsters, silently watching the two nonentities fugitives running.
Second uncle ran and ran, suddenly feel wrong, the blind man took his hand, seems to be not a hand.
I do not know when a tough layer of fur will grow on it. Five fingers. No, that is definitely not a human finger. Four fingers are short and one finger is long. It is like pouring molten steel. It is ferocious and powerful. It is tightly handcuffing the wrist of Uncle Er!
Second uncle looked up and saw that the blind man had turned into a huge white fox, and people were standing up and pulling him at a gallop ahead.
The white fox's fur looked pock-marked, covered with scars and poison sores, like it had been burned, and it was eerily cold and desolate.
But this scene only appeared for a short moment. The next moment, the white fox became blind again.
Second uncle's eyelids jumped violently, and the fox ran at night. this strange situation would cause palpitations on anyone. at that time, second uncle could not open his steps and his legs could not help shivering.
The blind man did not seem to have found anything unusual, and turned back and gave juwan a confused look.
Second uncle is not the kui is a veteran, combined with a series of strange things happened in Green cars before, as well as in front of the head into a man-made old fox, a strange guess slowly forming in his heart, but now the fox is still looking at him, a grasp is not good, even if there are two lives for life is not enough.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind and a smile forced from his face: "Master, I suddenly remembered that all my luggage was still in the car, and there was a treasure jade inside that I had worked so hard to get."
Under the dim light of night, the blind man was already a gloomy face, hearing the words of juwan, his face was even darker. juwan looked at the fox with a steady breath and watched it suddenly and violently at any time.
After waiting for a while, the blind man hoarse voice said, "wait here … I have a way … to get it."
"Won't be to let your fox son fox sun to get it ..." Second uncle made a whisper in the heart, at the same time also strengthened the speculation in the heart, but now can drag for a while is for a while, the moment a fox, in this desolate wild ridge, Waning moon dilute star silently waiting, also don't know what are waiting for each other.
The blind man looked back from time to time, as if he were getting more restless with the passage of time. SEC. Uncle took a sneak peek. He only felt that the center of his two eyes covered by the dead scar was glowing with green light from time to time. It seemed that the fox felt that everything was under its control now, so it had no scruples, or that it was still afraid of something.
This time juwan also did not dare to talk much. he took out the long tobacco pot he had with him and lit the fire with the burning stone. perhaps because the dew in the field was too heavy in the early morning, he rubbed it for several times and did not light it. he simply pulled out some tobacco leaves and chewed them in his mouth.
As time went by, I don't know how long it took. The blind man suddenly shook himself, and his mouth made a roar like a wild animal. It sounded very angry.
Second uncle heart movement, turned to meet the blind anger twisted face. In front of his eyes, the riddled face, full of fire poison, twisted and deformed gradually, growing fur, and the chin became pointed and warped.
Turned into a fox's head.
"You lied to me?"
The fox, with a hoarse voice, said word by word in a human tone: "Are you waiting for them?"
"It's a disaster." Second uncle's heart sank, his eyes turned to the side subconsciously. The night was like the sea. Two figures in the distance were approaching rapidly like ghosts. At present, the fox's forelimbs were drooping, its hind legs were varicose, and it jumped at him.
Just then!
Uncle Er shouted: "Evil spirits are killed!" He held up an ancient flour mirror in his left hand. The mirror was bright and moving. His right hand pinched the thunder tactic. His mouth shouted, "When you think of the thunderbolt, the sound of the thunderbolt will shake the void. If the gods and evil spirits do not subdue, the five thunderbolts will break the fire and go without trace!" As the last word fell, a thunder burst through the night sky, and the blind man under Shimizu Raikou couldn't help lying on the ground. As soon as he rolled, he turned into a prototype darling Peine De Mort. Hi, it was a fox that has been around for years. Second uncle responded with a smile, a smile in his chest. His eyes were like electricity, and he looked at the two Things. At this time, there was a strong wind blowing from nowhere in the wild. Uncle Er's attire was rattling in the wind, and he was not angry with himself. There was a Taoist among many people. He was a mighty saint. He only listened to his clear voice way.
"Stop, stop, Uncle, how did you change your taste halfway through the story?"
I can't help but interrupt juwan's improvisation, dissatisfied way.
Second uncle smiled, raised smoke pan disapprovingly and be very pleased with oneself took a puff. Then he shook his head and said, "I'm not looking at this plot as weak, so I need some artistic treatment."
He snapped his mouth and continued: "There is nothing more to say behind. It is just that the two Things also came for the sake of that jade heart. It will hurt to fight with this old fox, the two tigers, and I will stay out of it."
"But how did you escape the fox's attack?" I looked suspiciously at Uncle Xia's left wrist. On the ornaments woven with straw and rattan, two purple rattan knots were still looming.
Second Uncle squinted and said: "I heard people say that jade can dissolve all kinds of poisons, especially the jade heart obtained at that time, which is obviously not an ordinary thing, so I finally threw the jade heart at the two Things. Naturally, the fox left me and went to rob the jade heart first."
"That's why the fox wants this jade heart?" I asked in surprise and disbelief.
"I want very much." Second uncle laughed and continued: "it is covered with poison sores and scars. it looks like it is suffering from fire poison. without this jade heart, I am afraid my life will not be long."
"So when I got on the bus, it came to see me, but I didn't expect Yuxin's owner to come so fast. That's why it later used some tricks of fox blocking the way. On the one hand, it attracted Yuxin's owner's attention, and on the other hand, it took the opportunity to lead me off the bus."
I mused, "So the masters of Yuxin are actually the first two Things?"
Second Uncle hesitated, "Maybe, those ancient mines in remote mountains will generally give birth to strange treasures, and there will be treasure protectors within three steps. The babies held in Things's arms are probably legendary jade fetuses, and they should be treasure protectors. And jade heart is part of the jade fetus, just don't know why the two will be separated, and was at the beginning the peddlers get ... Just ... "
"Just What?"
"A thousand years of stone, ten thousand years of jade, and eighty-one victims. If you can turn jade into ice, you can see the candle on The Palace of Eternal Life."
Second uncle smoked a cigarette and uttered the vague words uncharacteristically. then he seemed to lose his mouth and motioned with his hand. "what am I doing talking about this? ordinary people will never see this kind of thing in their whole lives. just have fun and listen to it."
However, both the then Second Uncle and I did not expect that this jade fetus would not only be born again in the future, but also have many implications with us. It even led to a plot spanning 2,000 years. How many strange people and scholars and the Taoist tradition of avoiding the world were involved involuntarily.
Finally opened the ancient temple called longevity.
However, that was a long time ago.
End.
