Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Nightmare

"Yes!" Zhao Guai nodded slightly, "It was too late when I suddenly realized it, and that feeling came very quickly, almost killing me!" "What does it feel like?" Wu Qi asked in a trembling voice, obviously he had already expected that the thing was not a good thing, and he really didn't understand what kind of terrifying effect it had. It is said that when Zhao Guai knew that he was forced to take the pill, he was frightened out of his wits and scratched his throat desperately, wanting to spit it out.But the medicinal effect of the pill was extremely fast, before Zhao Guai tossed about for a while, he felt a burst of heat in his stomach, as if being poured into scalding boiling water.Immediately afterwards, this huge heat quickly spread to the whole body. He obviously did not enter the alchemy furnace, but it seemed to be roasted in a high-temperature alchemy furnace. Breathing out fire, that feeling made his life worse than death.

As for the specific feeling, Zhao Guai couldn't describe it clearly, because at that time he had been forced to lose his mind completely by this feeling. In his own words, what he wanted to do most at the time was to find a huge piece of ice to drill into. Otherwise, he would crash his head against the mountain wall. After that, Zhao Guai was completely unconscious, and this state of life and death did not know how long it lasted. Zhao Guai only knew that he had passed out again.When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a mountain stream. The mountain stream probably led from the inside of the mountain. He was probably washed out by the stream. The stream was not too urgent, so he was blocked by a protruding rock. .Zhao Guai didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but at this time he had returned to normal.

He walked out of the mountain smoothly, and everything before it seemed like a dream to him.However, even if this is a dream, it can only be regarded as a nightmare, and this nightmare is far from over.In the following years, Zhao Guai had the same dream countless times.The scene in the dream is an empty mountain, which looks like a magnificent cottage, with a peculiar exotic style, many men, women and children of different races in strange clothes, twisting their bodies around the fire, doing various things. The weird movements looked like a kind of dance or some kind of ritual, but no matter what it was, they couldn't feel a trace of joy, but seemed extremely mysterious.

Everyone can only see vague outlines, not their faces, let alone any expressions on their faces.Suddenly, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, the original cottage turned into a huge mass grave.Then, everyone stopped moving, and in the depths of the chaotic graveyard in front of them, they were suddenly surrounded by a sedan chair.And everyone's faces were also revealed at this time, every pupil on each of the pale faces was obviously widened to the limit, and it seemed that they might burst out of the eye sockets at any time.All the people opened their mouths in pain, and with the resentment reflected in their eyes, they made strange and noisy noises, as if they were cursing, more like crying for help in pain.

Suddenly, the curtain of the bridal sedan chair was lifted, and a woman walked out slowly. The woman was covered in heavy makeup and was dressed like a bride. Zhao Guai suddenly felt that she looked familiar, but the woman's face was blurred, no matter how she looked at it, she could not see it. unclear. Some people in the crowd carried the woman on their backs and walked forward surrounded by others. The expressions of those people were still the same. It didn't look like they were getting married at all, but they seemed to be going out for a funeral, crying all the way.I don't know how long they walked, the crowd suddenly stopped still, the woman turned her face and said something to the crowd, everyone was astonished, and their eyes immediately focused on Zhao Guai, those pale faces were full of excitement. There was a fierce light, as if seeing an enemy.

Zhao Guai was looking at it inexplicably, when those people suddenly frantically crowded over, tied Zhao Guai lying on the stone slab, and then stabbed him, as if they wanted to eat his flesh.Zhao Guai struggled desperately, but to no avail. Those people held up shining daggers and cut his stomach frantically.Zhao Guai only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw those people holding a bloody piece of human skin and walking towards the woman in bridal attire.Looking down again, his stomach was bloody red, and his flesh had disappeared. The woman took the skin peeled off from Zhao Guai with satisfaction, and a strange cat face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling quickly appeared...

Every time he woke up from the dream, Zhao Guai was covered in cold sweat, and what was even more creepy was: every time the scene of himself being skinned appeared in the dream, he could truly feel the heart-piercing pain, A few days later, strange skin peeling symptoms would appear on his body. Pieces of epidermis fell off by themselves for no reason, and finally gradually fell off into a large patch of white spots, as if he had vitiligo. It was the place where I passed through the clothes that I took off from the paper figurine, and just peeled off along that place, it looked like I was wearing another white waistcoat.

After such situations happened many times, Zhao Guai began to feel extremely uneasy, not to mention this strange and strange disease, he just couldn't bear the pain of the sharp knife cutting and peeling the skin in the nightmare.Zhao Guai didn't believe in evil spirits, he thought it was probably caused by taking the pills, so he went directly to Wu San, who had some friendship with him, to see if he could get rid of it with medical methods, which made him embarrassing and painful illness. Wu San was skeptical of his words, until Zhao Guaifa really took out the clothes, and Wu San was surprised to believe it.The first time he saw it, Wu San was sure that this garment was exactly the same as the one he had before, and it was actually a Huotan shroud!Wu San naturally didn't believe that this kind of thing could be found everywhere, so he decided that this was the one he had stolen back then, and he looked extremely excited, as if seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Seeing Wu San's expression, Zhao Guai didn't beat around the bush anymore. All his consequences today were caused by this thing, and now it has become a burden to him. Seeing that Wu San couldn't let it go, he immediately expressed that as long as Wu San loved it After San healed his illness, he handed over the Huotan shroud. Wu San checked Zhao Guai's symptoms, and judged that everything was caused by the excess of hidden qi in his body, which caused excessive yang fire.The vigorous fire of Zhao Guai body is caused by the stimulation of foreign objects, and it has a strong regularity. It takes twenty-four hou as a cycle. At the beginning of the hou, it must be burned by a fierce fire, so there will be a scene of peeling in nightmares. In fact, it was the severe pain caused by the burning fire in the chest and abdomen.But Twenty-Four Hous go round and round, endlessly, and when the karmic fire accumulated in the body reaches a certain level, it will burn itself to death like a human body spontaneously combusts.At present, there is no way to eradicate it at all, and the only way to reduce its ferocity is to expel it.

Professor Wu San gave Zhao Guai a set of needling techniques, called: Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, and the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate are extremely complicated and changeable, and it is impossible to master them without a solid foundation in Chinese medicine. Because of its extremely strict requirements, if there is a slight deviation, it is very likely to go straight to the gate of hell.The set that Zhao Guai learned is the most basic method of interpretation, which is specially used to induce and interpret karmic fire, so as to eliminate the excess yang qi in the body.To be honest, this kind of thing really gave Zhao Guai a headache, but since his life was at stake, he didn't dare to neglect it.However, Zhao Guai still had some troubles during his practice. One time, due to a deviation in interpretation, the karmic fire reached the Sanyinjiao of his right leg, and the water and fire clashed, which almost disabled his right leg. Fortunately, Wu San reversed the pulse flow in time, and this was done. The crisis was turned to safety, but Zhao Guai's right leg was traumatized by this mistake and became a lame man.

Except for this near-miss accident, everything else went smoothly, and I finally mastered the technique of the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate proficiently.Because this acupuncture method is only a stopgap measure, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and Zhao Guai followed the archaeological team to the mountains many times. Find that pill again for research. After Zhao Guai said all this, he let out a long breath as if he had completed a huge task.And Wu Qi at the side also felt as if he had heard a legendary story, and it was hard to imagine that the protagonist of the story was standing in front of him now.At this moment, the credibility of the things in it is no longer important. Wu Qi saw something called determination from Zhao Guai's resolute and not old face. "Okay, you already know the whole thing, it's God's will to return the Huotan corpse garment to Wu San's hands!" Zhao Guai laughed at himself and said, "Wu San may have cracked the Huotan corpse garment." I believe that with his personality, he will definitely investigate the secrets of the world. Therefore, it is Wu San's last wish that you came here, and it is actually an arrangement from heaven!" Wu Qiqi said: "The secret on Huotan's shroud? Then... why do you want the pattern on the secret box with dragon patterns? What did what you just said have anything to do with that secret box?" Zhao Guai smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Wu, why do you and Wu San have such similar personalities, you are so stubborn! You already know a lot, this matter is very complicated, but it is definitely not the same as Wu San or you. It doesn't matter, we just did a business, you do me a favor, and I also do you a favor, neither owes anything! This is my own business, so don't ask me any more!" Wu Qi's mouth was covered forcibly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he was still trying to say something, but Zhao Guai waved his hand to signal him to stop there.At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side of the fire, and the two shouted at the top of their voices: "Mr. Zhao, Doctor Wu, come out, there is something new!"
