After hearing this story, Professor Huang repeatedly pawed his hands and sighed. It took him a long while before he remembered the key point:

"Then this story about the head-swapping, does it have anything to do with Tao Zhugong's head-swapping?"

I didn't answer, but looked up at the four eunuchs in charge and asked:

"Four Taibao, you said that if you want to know the story you are telling, you must first know the story of "A Mistake of Yin and Yang". So now, what do you want to tell us?"

Professor Huang's gaze came in response, and the four eunuchs said calmly:

"Of course it has something to do with this. "Yin and Yang" is a piece of opera spread in Panyu. Although this play is later than the era of the ancient Yue Kingdom, it is passed down from generation to generation about the 'reverence of human heads' Witchcraft culture.”

"The dramas at that time were less fabricated and more adapted with reasons."

"The so-called Yin God, Bao Qi, is the 'great witch' in some tribe, and the secret method given to him is the secret method of changing heads."

"It just so happens that I have experienced something myself, and I have had some experience with this kind of witchcraft, so I want you to know the story of "A Mistake" first."

"That was decades ago."

As the four eunuchs slowly narrated, a story emerged in front of Professor Huang and me——

[It turns out that sixty or seventy years ago, not long after the fourth eunuch became the fourth eunuch, he suddenly received a message from a friend he had not contacted for a long time, begging him to help collect a few corpses.

Although this kind of thing is really rare, in Changzhou, where people are mixed with people, it is not a big deal if some people refine corpses and some drive them away.

If you don't help, you will inevitably be talked about by your former friends and become a Taibao, and you will forget your friends.

So I immediately pulled four or five corpses from the eleventh Taibao hall, drove to my friend's house.

My friend Xi Jing, whose home is also remote, opened a small clinic next to a village in a certain mountain in Changzhou. It took a lot of time to get there.

As soon as they saw their friend, the fourth eunuch wanted to say hello, but instead, his friend rushed straight to the corpse behind the car. He impatiently picked up a corpse and entered the clinic.

The Fourth Taibao was young at the time and was not as calm as he is now. He was also a little curious, so he immediately carried a corpse on his back and entered the small clinic.

When the four Taibao entered the small clinic, they saw that it was a small clinic that used to save lives and heal the wounded. It was almost like a slaughterhouse!

There were stains and blood all over the small clinic. He followed his friend into the inner room and discovered that there were a large number of dead bodies of cats, dogs and pigs piled up here.

What shocked him the most was the dog-man on the operating table!

A strong black-skinned big dog has been beheaded——

Where the dog's head was originally placed, there was actually the head of an eleven or twelve year old boy!

And the most important thing is that although the dog body and the human head look a little weak, they are still breathing!

The boy lay on his side on the operating table, shouting helplessly and painfully:

"Dad, daddy, it hurts so much!"

The four eunuchs immediately recognized the boy as the son of a good friend, but his body was now abandoned aside. There were marks on his hands, feet and torso that he had been run over. It was obvious that he had caused a car accident.

After hearing his son's cry, the friend immediately put down the corpse he had brought, cut off the corpse's head with a knife, and then separated the boy's head and body and performed simple sutures.

The four eunuchs were astonished, but they briefly guessed what happened.

My friend's son was playing near his home and happened to meet some poachers who had entered the mountains.

The poachers at that time were the older generation of bandits who no longer killed people and turned to poaching. They just hung out in the mountains, hunting wolves and bears, and skinning people for food.

Although he didn't kill anyone, his ferocity was still in his bones. When he saw the little boy running away, he thought he was going to snitch, so he drove his car and ran over the little boy.

By the time his friends arrived, the little boy had most of his body organs crushed and was dying.

Although his friend hated him, it was important to save people, so he took his son back to his small clinic for treatment.

But with such a serious injury, my friend was a doctor himself, so he naturally knew that his son could not be saved.

In a desperate situation, he thought of the secret method passed down from his ancestors and sought medical treatment in an emergency. He beheaded the family's big wolf dog, then beheaded his son and sewed them together. Unexpectedly, this secret method, which had never been tried before, gave his son a glimmer of hope.

About an hour after the head transplant, my son began to speak from his dying state. Although he was still very weak, he gave the doctor a terrible idea——

Find a body and change it!

It's just that he found many pigs, dogs and cats from the surrounding area and tried to replace them. Either the neck didn't fit properly, or his son complained of pain.

It was at this time that my friend continued the favor he had given to the Fourth Taibao by rescuing him many years ago, and begged the Fourth Taibao to bring some corpses. 】

After saying this, the fourth eunuch lost his usual composure and sighed heavily. After a long while, he continued to tell the story——

[However, that glimmer of hope is ultimately just a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps as stated in the story "A Mistake", a corpse that has been stored for a long time cannot be replaced with a head.

Maybe this is the first head change, and it is the best result of a combination of circumstances. In short-

The little boy died.

He died under his father's sword and allowed his father to cast spells and recite the mantra silently over and over again, but no more miracles happened.

He just lay there, his life passing away silently. 】

The Fourth Taibao sighed again:

"Since then, my friend has gone crazy and told people everywhere that he had killed his biological son. Then someone called the police. The police came to see that it was true, so they entered the police station."

"I actually didn't see the success of the head transplant, and I don't know much about the obscure secret method. Because after my friend was imprisoned, he hanged himself with his belt."

"But I was very impressed by the little doll with a dog body, so when I talk about changing my head today, I will inevitably think of him."

Professor Huang was so shocked that the fourth eunuch pondered for a moment, turned to me, raised his eyelids, and said in a rather stiff tone:

"You are so smart. After listening to two stories, do you know what I want to say?"

What I said was, not to say 99%, but at least 10% ironic.

I ignored the unkindness in the eyes of the four eunuchs, remained silent for a moment, and said slowly:

"The head, the head is the key, or the subject."

"Although the body and the head are indispensable, the people who performed the head replacement in both stories wanted to keep the head."

"In this case, we might as well boldly speculate that the reason why Tao Zhugong was changed was because the third lady——

I want my husband alive! "

"what?!"

Professor Huang stood up suddenly, and the chair behind him was turned over by the inertia, and landed heavily on the ground, making an ear-splitting sound:

"But throughout the ages, isn't it always a bad idea to destroy corpses?!"

Dabue: It means a recognized fault or fault.
