Mantra

Chapter 133
Just when Wang Hou was shaking his head, I keenly noticed that there was a "thing" under this guy's neck.

That wasn't a pillow, it was hidden behind Wang Hou's neck.

With curiosity and vigilance, I stretched out my hand, lightly lifted Wang Hou's head, and pulled the thing out from under his neck.

Immediately afterwards, I looked at the "guy" in my hand, and my face froze instantly.

While freezing, I also realized the seriousness of the problem, and knew that the "curse" in Wang Hou's body might not be as simple as I imagined.

So at this moment, what I hold in my hand is... a "white-faced doll" with Wang Hou's name written on it.

Someone, when Wang Hou was in a coma, put this doll on the back of his head, a face doll with his name written on it.

At this time, the white-faced doll had been crushed by Wang Hou's neck. Its limbs were twisted, it seemed to be laughing and crying, and its face was ferocious. Its two blood-red eyes were still clear, and it stared at me blankly. An indescribably eerie feeling.

On the belly of the white-faced doll, there are two bean-sized Chinese characters written in pine ink—"Wang Hou".

I looked at the baby's face, and couldn't help but feel panic in my heart. After the panic, I was angry and grinning again!

Is it a face doll again?

Facing this doll, he must have immediately reminded me of the old lady in black who called the white-faced doll in her hand "Son".

Because of the appearance of that old lady, my old squad leader's fraudulent corpse turned into a mummy, and also because of the appearance of this old lady, I was plotted against by Li Douniu and Maozhen, and almost died.

In short, in the Zhao family building, apart from Duan Tianshi, who I have already suspected, it is the old lady who is the most elusive and unpredictable.

Why did she disturb my old squad leader's funeral?And why is there a white-faced doll in his hand all the time?Do you still call him your son?

Most importantly, what is the purpose of her targeting the Zhao family several times!
Just when I was lost in thought, and I don't know how long it took, the door of the bedroom was pushed open by Zhao Shuihe.

She walked in carelessly and shouted at me: "Your girlfriend treats you well, you should cherish it"

Shui He was halfway through her words when she saw the face doll in my hand.

The light smile on her face suddenly froze.

She and I looked at each other, and then said straight to the point: "What is the 'curse'?"

The concept of curse-eating was first heard of by the "four-browed shemale" Lao Nineteen.I only know that this kind of "curse" can make people faint or die, it is a very powerful "curse", and this kind of curse does not come from any Taoist priest or Gu Po, it is a "secret rule" that the cooks of the Wu Zang Temple are good at using .

But what exactly it is, I don't understand.

Since Zhao Shuihe once swore to me that she could cure Wang Hou's "curse", then she should know, and she should fulfill her promise.

Zhao Shuihe looked at my serious expression, and couldn't help being infected by me. She gently closed the door of the hut, leaned against the door frame, took out her coin, rolled it over, and thought about the gap before she said to me:
"Curse-eating is a general term. The food-related 'gu', 'poison', 'medicine', 'replenishment' and even 'tricks' that we are familiar with can be regarded as a kind of mantra. In fact, mantra-eating is a kind of "fire work language" , it specifically refers to the 'food' used to make money and kill."

That kind of food is not for people to eat, but a tool for profit or even murder.

So, they are "mantras"!
The origin of the original "eating mantra" is very complicated, but the main source is "Shen Nong Baicao Jing".

Legend has it that in ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong's daily daily herbs encountered 72 poisons and risked his life to identify medicines and delicacies that could be used to cure diseases and prolong life for the Chinese people.

Before Shennong's death, he compiled his life experience into China's first medicinal book "Shennong Baicao Jing", leaving a blessing for future generations.And those who practice the study of herbs have gradually become the two professions we are familiar with-"Chinese medicine" and "cook".

I wondered: "That is to say, the Chinese cook and the Chinese medicine doctor are actually two melons growing on the same vine?"

Zhao Shuihe nodded, and told me that there is a saying in ancient China called "medicine and food have the same origin", which means that many foods can be used as medicinal materials, and many medicinal materials can also be used to eat.In Chinese medicine and cooks, this theory is very popular, and it has lasted for a long time.

I nodded, of course I knew this.

Then Zhao Shuihe officially told me about the so-called curse and its history.

She said that because medicine and food come from the same source, after the cook industry took shape in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, a group of "cooks" with ulterior motives rediscovered this "special" use of food based on their own cooking experience.

These uses, of course, are killing people and making money.

These people were very courageous, and they were attached to the powerful and powerful at that time, and they also had some influence.

Therefore, with the support of their masters, they conducted experiments on slaves and prisoners of war, and carried out in-depth "development" of the special uses of food, and then formed special abilities that can use food to poison, kill, use tricks, and even divination.

These abilities are collectively referred to as spell-eating.

The emergence of "curse-eating" was quickly welcomed by the ruling classes of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period.Because they found that the people who mastered the curse were very strange and efficient in doing things, and they were good helpers for their intrigue and assassination.

Because of this, these cooks who mastered the curse were called "secret cooks", and "cooks" means cooks.

To put it bluntly, they are assassins evolved from cooks.

The dark kitchen organization is the first organization composed of cooks in Chinese history. It can even be said that they are the predecessors of the Wu Zang Temple.

At this point, Zhao Shuihe emphasized one sentence: "Because of the long history, the organizational structure, principles of doing things, and who is the leader of the 'Dark Kitchen' are no longer known. I only know that after the formation of the 'Dark Kitchen' , soon split up, and they were gradually attracted by the monarchs of various countries, forming small hills one by one."

At this point, Zhao Shuihe sighed and said: "After that era ended, the 'secret kitchen' became history, but their curses were consciously preserved by the ruling class from generation to generation, and were used by many famous people later. In the palace coup."

After hearing Zhao Shuihe's words, I asked with some half-belief: "What you said is mysterious enough, why haven't I heard from my squad leader that there is such an assassination organization composed of cooks?"

Zhao Shuihe didn't answer me directly, but asked me: "Do you know 'Zhuan Zhu'?"

His words turned my doubts into serious thoughts.

I know "Zhuan Zhu". This man is one of the five great assassins in ancient times. king.His courage is great, and he does things absolutely, which is frightening.

Therefore, I asked Zhao Shuihe: "I know, the warrior who killed the King of Wu with the 'Yuchang Sword', don't tell me he is a secret agent! This plot is too bloody."

Zhao Shuihe still smiled, and answered me: "Of course he is not, but don't you think there is something wrong with that period of history?"

I shook my head, I'm not a historian, so naturally I don't know what's wrong.

As expected, Zhao Shuihe smiled, and then told me the "truth" she knew.
