Evil Spirit Book

My head was empty, I couldn't think about anything, just like a dog in the water, I crawled back to the original place tremblingly, sitting in the shallow water under the steps and panting, only then did I feel pain all over my body. There were many blood marks on the exposed skin, probably from sharp fish scales.

The blood that flowed from the dead body turned its belly up and floated on the surface of the water almost stained the water on the surface red. Looking at its huge corpse, I suddenly felt a twitch in my heart and came up with a guess.

There are also piranhas here. Is it possible that the water in this water hole is connected to the big lake outside?

The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible, because Nayi Village is located at the bottom. It is really said that people go to high places, water flows to low places, and the water on the top gushes out from the ground. Under Feilongyuan, there is a huge lake as vast as the sea. The water in the big lake accumulates all year round. If there is no pouring outlet, it is estimated that the nearby area will already be flooded.

And now, the same kind of piranhas happened to appear in the water cave of this divine lake. Doesn't that just mean that the two lakes are connected?

Since they are connected, there must be a link. Perhaps, that link is the hole that the people of Nayi Village look for every year.

However, according to geography, the entrance of this cave is not necessarily outside, it may also be underground, connected by underground water channels, or the entrance of the cave that Nayizhai Shenhu sacrifices were looking for did not exist in the first place.

After sitting for a while, our breathing calmed down, because there was no medicine on hand, and we couldn't treat the wound, the three of us discussed it and decided to swim over.Piranhas of this size were rare in the first place, probably because the water receded too fast at that time, and the piranhas were too big, so they were trapped here. Thinking about it, there should be no second one.

We didn't care about taking a break, and after discussing, the three of us went into the water together and swam towards the black protrusion on the opposite side. Fortunately, nothing strange came out of the water.

As the distance got closer, I also saw the shape of the object clearly. It was a stone platform, about two meters long and one meter wide, just big enough for a person to lie down on, and about two meters high, but a Most of them were submerged in the water, with only a height of less than one meter exposed.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing, and I am not sure what it is used for. If it is to store food, it seems that this kind of stone platform is not used.

I picked up the wind lamp and observed carefully, and found that there were faint patterns on the stone platform, but the patterns were carved very shallow, and coupled with the millennium of water erosion, the specific appearance could no longer be seen, and the overall look was quite old.

I thought of the figure I saw before, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong. Even if that person is really harming us, then he should be hiding. Who would lie carelessly on it? ?

There are no pretty girls on this stone platform, so I would be too panicked to sleep on it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stand up straight, and looked down at the surface of the platform, and I couldn't help being stunned when I saw it... There really is a girl.

Seeing how focused I was, Bada asked me what I was thinking about. I pulled him over and said, "Look, what does this look like?"

He stared at Shitai and said in surprise, "Like a girl."

I said, "Except for girls?"

He looked at it carefully for a while, with a look of disbelief: "This girl is kissing a bird." I suddenly felt like a chicken talking to a duck.There are indeed many carvings on the stone platform, but most of them are already relatively blurred, and some of the larger carvings can barely be seen.

On the surface of the two-meter-long stone platform, there is a pattern of a woman carved, naked, with disheveled hair, dancing with hands and feet, and it seems that there is a mask on her face.

This mask is a bit weird, like a bird, and there are many grass seedlings on the bird.

Others don't recognize it, but I do, because I've seen someone wear this bird mask once.

That was when I was still living in the country. At that time, the uncle’s villa had not yet been built. The mountain roads in the village were very difficult to walk, and there were few opportunities to go to the county town. The children in other villages usually helped the family members. Work, but I am different. First of all, we are a family of Chinese medicine, and the main income is to see a doctor, so there is not much farm work. Usually, my mother grows some vegetables in the yard.

Since I was an only child, I was inevitably spoiled. My parents were in good health and didn't have much work to do, so I went crazy everywhere after school since I was a child, and I was very free.

My uncle is not married and has no children, so every holiday, my dad will send me to my uncle to accompany him. My uncle is very happy at that time, and he will take me everywhere when he is not seeing a doctor. Play.

The countryside and the countryside are nothing more than catching birds and crabs, but after a long time, I feel tired. Seeing that I have nothing to do, my uncle took a moment and said that I would go to the rally.

I thought it was going to the market, and I was very excited because my uncle’s family is relatively rich, and he is always willing to spend money on buying things for me. My dad is very picky, and he has to bargain for a cotton candy. If he refuses to lower the price , my dad put on a tiger face and said: "Then get a small one and charge half the price." The cotton candy sellers are so popular.

The result was different from what I thought. My uncle didn't take me to the market, but to the neighboring village.

The biggest difference between the neighboring villages and ours is that their population is relatively concentrated, and there is a large courtyard with buildings shaped like stilted buildings inside.The mountain road in the neighboring village is rugged, and it is very troublesome for the villagers to get sick. My uncle often visits the doctor in person, so he has a high reputation in the village. We received warm hospitality as soon as we went.

However, the most unforgettable thing for me was that night, a bonfire was lit in the village, surrounded by all kinds of game, including rabbits, roe deer, goats, pheasants, bamboo spots, umbrella mushrooms, all grilled golden, Dripping oil and water, I gulped and swallowed saliva greedily.

The people in the village knew that I was my uncle's nephew, so they gave me a special face. First, they tore up a rabbit leg and gave it to me to eat. When I was eating to the point of darkness, I suddenly heard the sound of drums around me. Then, there was a young man from the village. The girls came out to dance, and they wore masks that looked like birds and plants, and they were very green and beautiful.

My uncle later told me that this is the people in the village offering sacrifices to the spring. This is the original form of the Spring Festival, that is, to worship the coming of spring, which heralds the harvest of the new year. The bird in the mask is made of mountains and seas. In the scriptures, there is an animal called "spring bird", which means auspiciousness and prosperity, and those feathers shaped like plants are the symbol of wheat grain, which means a good harvest.

This kind of mask was popular on a large scale in ancient times, and later evolved into the Spring Festival, and many of the original customs of offering sacrifices to spring have been lost.But in some remote places, some customs are still preserved.

In the village we visited, the Spring Festival and sacrifices were held separately.

To put it simply, it was a mask that would only be worn during the Spring Festival.

The woman in front of me, although the mask on her face is somewhat different from the one I saw when I was a child, but in major respects, it is not too different. I am almost sure that the woman above should be a witch who is performing a spring festival .

According to the little yellow dog, witches are also a kind of medicine, which is called witch doctor among the people. In fact, the earliest medical skills were all evolved from witch doctors, and they were gradually divided into traditional Chinese medicine, Taoist medicine, and Miao medicine. Now, most people classify witch doctor as Taoist medicine, because the process of witch doctor's treatment involves a lot of ghosts and ghosts. Therefore, some people say that Taoist medicine is the most complete medical technique preserved throughout the ages.

One is because most of it is passed on from master to disciple, and is passed on among sects.

The second is that the scope of transmission is narrow, and it is not easy to be impacted by foreign cultures.

For example, Western medicine was first introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. At that time, most Western doctors went straight to Beijing, the imperial city of China. They would fight doctors in Taoist temples, but they would never go to Taoist temples to fight doctors, because Taoist medicine is powerful, but its scope of influence is too small, and many people don't even know it all their lives.

Because of this, many medical techniques handed down from ancient times have been passed down from generation to generation through shamanism.

In the past, most of the witches in the spring festival also served as doctors in the village. Although the witch in front of me danced and danced like a scene of sacrifice, it did not seem to be performing a spring festival again, but seemed to be healing a disease.
