Chapter 22 Twenty-second Nightmare

"In the last years of Tang Zhenguan, Chang'an was full of evil spirits. Many warlocks gathered in the city and set up altars. As a result, people's hearts were in a trance and their wisdom was dull. Emperor Taizong of Tang denounced it as the technique of defeating the enemy and ordered it to be abolished. Its law was included in the laws of the Tang Dynasty." I stopped and put down the book, is there really a nightmare?After returning from the lake, Ji Yan informed the local villagers not to approach the lake again. Most of the fish in the lake died, unless they found that there were living things in the lake again.The past few days have been relatively busy, and we have seen less, every time I ask Luo Lei to go out for dinner, but she is always rejected on the pretext of being busy with work.Christmas is coming soon, maybe she should be free that day.

The work at hand was already busy, so I stretched a very long waist.There is some time in the afternoon, everyone can get together for dinner, and it’s been a while since I saw Li Duo.As soon as I thought of this, I received a call from her. "Comrade editor, the weather is so cold, shall we invite brother Ji Yan and sister Luo Lei to eat hot pot tonight?" Her voice was still playful, and it made people laugh when they heard it.I asked her if she had told Luo Lei, and she said she had already told her that Luo Lei was free, and she was shocked when she heard that.Hang up the phone, sit in front of the computer and look forward to getting off work early.

Although I felt that time was going very slowly, the sky outside the window was gradually getting dark.I packed my clothes, went to pick up Luo Lei, and went to Ji Jihong with her by the way.This hot pot restaurant is the largest and most famous in the local area. In winter, a few friends gather together to eat hot pot and chat. I am afraid there is nothing better than this. When they arrived, Ji Yan and Li Duo were already there, and they greeted each other. Li Duo happily touched his ears, pointed to me and said, "Look, I added two more earrings." , Sure enough, the small ears were pierced with piercings, almost connecting into a line, I shook my head and smiled wryly.Maybe what she is pursuing is really hard for me to understand.It was Ji Yan who looked at it without comment, and then went to order.Li Duo was a little displeased, but soon after the food was served, the steam from the hot pot wiped away her displeasure.Luo Lei looked a little tired, although she didn't talk much, she was still very happy, chatting with Li Duo.

Halfway through the meal, we started chatting. I remembered the nightmare technique and asked, "What the hell is the nightmare technique? Is it useful?" Ji Yan was picking up a piece of snow-white boiled mutton, and put it down when she heard the question. Chopsticks. "Nightmare art exists. In ancient times, it sometimes refers to the performance techniques of those Jianghu entertainers, that is, magic, but some people say that nightmare art is black art or sorcery. It is recorded in unofficial history that Yinzhi, the third son of Emperor Kangxi, exposed the The eldest prince Yinti used the lama's nightmare technique to execute the nightmare technique on the prince at that time, that is, Kangxi's second son Yinreng, causing him to be mentally disordered, and he was abolished by Kangxi, but these are all rumors. In fact, in my opinion The later nightmare technique is likely to be a relatively advanced hypnosis technique." After Ji Yan finished speaking, she wanted to pick up the quick mutton and found that Li Duo had already eaten it, and Li Duo even made a face at him.Ji Yan had no choice but to cook another piece of raw mutton.

"Later?" I asked. "Yes, Nightmare Technique was popular in the Shang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, and then slowly declined." Sure enough, it was the same as recorded in the book. "Then you haven't seen the real nightmare technique?" Luo Lei asked suddenly.Ji Yan was stopped by the question, which is really rare.He smiled and didn't answer, but now Li Duo was in a hurry and kept tugging on Ji Yan's sleeve. "Say it, tell it, is there any?" "How should I put it, I also got some legends about nightmares from my previous generation. My grandfather has researched these aspects very much, but it is only limited to research, because he believes that there are some things that human beings cannot touch. Yes, of course, my father doesn’t think so.” The first time we heard Ji Yan talk about his father, we were very surprised, he rarely mentioned his father, even Li Duo only saw him occasionally Guo Jiyan's parents have two faces.Everyone put down their chopsticks and listened to Ji Yan's narration. Although there was a lot of voices nearby, I felt as if the table was separated.

"At that time, my father was a little older than I am now, and he was very interested in this kind of things. Nightmare art was the kind he was looking for at that time. Although I got some information about the origin and origin of nightmare art from my grandfather. Basic knowledge, but these were far from satisfying his curiosity, so he made a decision that made my grandfather very angry and worried. That was to find the real heir of the nightmare. He didn't know that his decision would give him What a transformation. But it is not easy to find a technique that has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and it is even a question of whether it will exist or not.At that time, my father sent a note to the school and asked for a one-semester vacation. Homework was not a problem for him, all he needed was time.Half a year is a budget for him. If it is not enough, he needs to go back to complete the credits and continue to discuss. It has been like this for almost two years, but he still graduated as scheduled.

After graduation, he finally found a clue, and the goal he had pursued for many years finally came to fruition.My father learned that in Henan, that is, near Chaoge, the former ruling center of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there lived a strange clan, all composed of women, who actually mastered the oldest nightmare technique.Dad decided to check it out. That year was 1982, and my father came to Qi County, Henan Province alone.As the former capital of a country, it no longer has the magnificence of thousands of years ago, but my father said that he still felt the indelible shock when he came here. Ancient ruins are a constant reminder of its value to strangers who come.After staying here for a day, my father began to look for the legendary female clan.

It is said that the real nightmare originates from the female priests in the ancient times. When the patriarchy was still formed, women occupied the dominant position. The mysterious rituals of sacrifices were all in the hands of women. At that time, witches and wizards were called gui , 觋 is a subordinate word of witch, which shows the status of witches at that time.So the real nightmare technique can only be used and passed down by women, which is why my father believed that this female clan mastered the nightmare technique. But he searched around Qi County for many days without a clue.Until one day, a very strange event occurred in the local area.

An elderly villager got a strange disease. His father felt curious and immediately went to the home of the sick villager. "Ji Yan paused at this point, and then continued: "I think it is better to use my father's own account of what happened later. (The following is in the tone of Ji Yan's father) "I came to the villager's house. It was the simplest local folk house. It was built with simple soil mixed with grass and trees. There were pieces of wall skin that fell off everywhere. It felt as if it would happen at any time. It's like a collapse, but it's a feeling after all. These houses have experienced a lot of wind and rain along with the users.

The old man living here is surnamed Lu, and other people call him Fourth Master Lu. He participated in the Anti-Japanese War, but he was a soldier of the Kuomintang. He was captured during the Liberation War and joined the People’s Liberation Army. After the Cultural Revolution, the old man was still alone. Fortunately, he treats people peacefully on weekdays, and everyone treats him as his elders, so there are many people around Fourth Master Lu's house right now. I walked slowly to the side of the crowd. Although they soon found out that I was not from the village, they kindly let me in when they knew that I was here to visit Master Lu.The inside of the house is not big, but it is very clean, with a few simple pieces of furniture neatly arranged, but it is very dark, but in the sunlight of the day, you can still see Fourth Master Lu moaning on the old bamboo bed.

If you see him suddenly, you will be shocked. His head is like a red balloon full of air, and his hair stands upright one by one, like a hedgehog that has been shaved. His forehead should be covered with wrinkles. On the contrary, it became smooth and raised, with swollen and protruding veins everywhere, and the eyes couldn't close. The bloodshot eyeballs like red agate almost swelled out. "About how long has it been?" I walked out and asked a well-dressed young man with fair skin and eyes. The young man seemed a little annoyed when he was asked, but he still said word for word: "My name is Bai Yang, and I am here. The organization officer." I was also a little funny, thinking that I didn't ask who you were. "I just want to know how long Fourth Master Lu has been like this." I retorted bluntly, Bai Yang's pale face turned red, he pushed his glasses and restrained himself a little. "It's been almost a week. At first, I only said that I was dizzy, and then I started to have a headache. I went to the county hospital for an examination, but I didn't find out why. By the way, are you that again? Are you a relative of Fourth Master Lu?" Bai Yang took asked provocatively.I'm too lazy to talk to him, Lu Siye's symptoms are very similar to the characteristics of a "blood rush" attack in the legendary nightmare technique, a large amount of blood accumulates in the brain, and there will be no major reaction at first, and it is even easy to understand It is high blood pressure, but it will be very dangerous after a long time. Now his condition is very bad, so we can only do bloodletting temporarily to ask him what is going on. " "Bleeding?" I asked puzzled.Ji Yan said: "Bloodletting is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which can relieve some ailments. It was also the most important treatment method before the Middle Ages. Of course, it is not a panacea, and it cannot be placed indiscriminately. You must use specific acupuncture points and pay attention to it. The amount of bloodletting, time, etc." After Ji Yan explained, she continued.Still in the name of his father. "Fortunately, I have studied acupuncture, but with my medical skills, I am afraid that at most it can only temporarily restore Lu Siye's mind, but it should be enough for me to find the cause. I took out the silver needle I brought, and this book It was used for self-rescue in case of accidents during travel, but unexpectedly it came in handy. The bloodletting of the head is very particular. I will let everyone come out like Lu Siye first. The weather is good, and the sun can help the blood flow, so the bloodletting is more efficient.About ten minutes later, I went into the room. Fourth Master Lu's blood vessels are very fragile and it is not suitable to cut oblique veins, so I had to prick his head and carotid artery with sterilized silver needles.There are twenty-one bloodletting sites on the head and neck: one Jinzhu vein, one Yinzhu vein, two occipital veins, one fungal vein, two small apex veins, one throat vein, and two tongue veins There are two buccal arteries, two eye arteries, one nasal tip arteries, two ear arteries, two temporal arteries, and two tooth arteries.There were not enough silver needles, so I had to pierce them one by one. Due to the cumbersomeness, I was busy for more than two hours and released about two enamel bowls of blood. Because I was afraid that he would lose blood and faint when he was old, he specially prepared fresh cow blood, cold water and bandages.However, the effect was very good, everything went well, Uncle Lu's head became much smaller at once, and he gradually regained consciousness, without the symptoms of congestion.Everyone was very happy and came over to thank me one after another. Of course, I knew that except for one person, Bai Yang, who had disappeared. Uncle Lu was still very weak, so I asked everyone to make me some blood-boosting and nourishing food, and after another hour, he was finally able to speak. "About a few days ago, I noticed something was wrong when I was cooking, but I didn't pay much attention at that time." Fourth Master Lu said slowly. "Cooking?" Seeing that Fourth Master Lu has improved, the neighbors have dispersed, and now only Fourth Master Lu and I are left. He first thanked me, and then I asked him if there was anything unusual recently. "Yeah, I felt pain in my eyes for a while, and then everything I saw was blood red, as if I was covered with a red cloth, and then I got better after resting, but the attacks became more and more frequent. And I often dreamed. I always saw it in my dreams. A young woman is wearing a weird mask, but she can be seen standing there holding a two-foot-long green snake in her right hand. There seem to be many shirtless men next to them, also wearing masks , dancing a strange dance, and saying words I couldn’t understand. Every time I wake up, my head hurts badly, and my face is terribly red.” Lu Si said, pointing to his face. As soon as I heard it, I suddenly thought of "Shan Hai Jing 8226; Overseas Western Classics" which records that "Wu Xianguo is in the north of Nvchou, holding a green snake with his right hand, and on Mount Bao, where all the witches follow. 'Could it be that Fourth Master Lu really suffered from the 'Blood Rush' because of the nightmare technique he was looking for so hard? Bloodletting is only a palliative measure. In less than three days, Fourth Master Lu will fall ill again, and it will be more severe. The final result will only cause eyeballs to burst and five sense organs to bleed to death.I don't have much time, I have to find someone who uses the Nightmare. There are records that using nightmare techniques to injure opponents usually uses dreams as mediators. It seems that it is true, and it is not too far away to use it. As long as you search nearby, you should be able to gain something.With this in mind, I searched around and never met a strange woman, but there was no progress, and the time soon turned into night. Since I temporarily cured Lu Siye's strange disease, I was warmly received by everyone. In a relatively wealthy family, I asked them if there had been any weird people or strange things here, but they didn't think about it for a long time. For this reason, they finally agreed that the strangest person in the village was Bai Yang and his son. "Bai Yang?" I asked after drinking a glass of home-brewed rice wine. "Yeah, didn't you ask us what kind of weirdo there is here. I think his father and son are probably the weirdest." A young man of very similar age said mysteriously, and the people next to him followed suit. "Yes, yes, their father and son suddenly appeared here about twenty years ago, but they are quite responsible. Although we feel strange why the child's mother disappeared, it is a private matter, and we just discuss it behind the scenes. .” Another simple-looking uncle said while chewing on a large piece of meat. "It's not really strange, snail husbands are very common." I replied casually.Seeing that I didn't care, they said in a hurry: "Of course it's nothing, but the two of them, especially Bai Guanshi's father, always cover their faces, and it is said that someone has heard him speak softly, talking to him." Like a girl, she seldom goes out, and I don’t know how he raised Officer Bai in the past few decades. After all, Officer Bai is quite promising. After graduating from high school, he worked as an organization officer in the village, and his job was okay. He’s a bit poor in dealing with people, he always likes to put on a show and put on a show. When he was studying, he was taken care of by everyone, after all, he is the most educated in our place.” The uncle just drank a bowl of rice wine, happy He had a long belch.I secretly wrote it down, but it was getting late today, and the hospitable fellow villager invited me to stay, so I decided to go to Baiyang's place the next day, maybe I could gain something. The next day I came to Bai Yang's house according to their guidance. I waited for him to go to work before going to visit. The reason was very simple, I really didn't want to see his face. Bai Yang's house is not much better than Lu Siye's house, but after all, it is still a job. Although it is old, it is not broken. Henan's seasons change greatly, the rainy season is rich, and the sun shines very strong after June. Most of the brick houses are being washed away. After being exposed to the sun, they all turned into mud walls, and Bai Yang's house seemed to be made of stones.very smooth.The door is made of wood, and there are white door god stickers on it, but they are almost gone.Considering that there is only Baiyang's family in such a large area around, it seems that their father and son don't like to get along with people very much. I yelled someone outside the door. After a long time, the door was opened with a creak, but it was only partly opened, just enough for my head to get in and out. I was wondering why there was no one, so I bent down and put my head over to take a look. , As a result, a pair of eyes happened to face each other from inside, and I met the person inside, eye to eye. I have never seen that kind of eyes, or the eyeballs are right, so I was stunned for a few seconds, but I soon realized that I would be in danger of being hypnotized by looking at it like this, so I immediately straightened up and escaped from the other person's eyes .I can hardly believe it, because the pupils of those eyes are slender, like some animal. "Are you Uncle Bai?" I extended my hand friendly.The person inside said a word of kindness, but still didn't intend to go out.I was very embarrassed standing outside, so I had to explain to him again. "I want to talk to you. I don't know if I can. I'm Bai Yang's friend." Although I don't want to do this, it seems that this is not very friendly to the uncle.Sure enough, he seemed a little convinced, opened the door, and beckoned me to come in. (Actually, thinking about the people back then, they were relatively simple. How dare strangers let them in now, Ji Yanyu) As soon as he entered, he closed the door again, and then actually lit a kerosene lamp. It was sunny outside, but he actually lit a lamp inside. There was only one reason for doing this, he was afraid of the sun. Even here he still wrapped his head with a white scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed.He doesn't have a single hair on the top of his head, but he has rough, scaly skin. I didn't look much inside the house, it's not like two big men live in it. It's very clean and tidy. The bowls and chopsticks, it seems that he didn't have time to clean up... "Have you been here for a long time? Have you ever heard of a female clan in this area before? It's just not close to outsiders, and the clan has a female leader?" I asked straight to the point.Who knew that he didn't speak at all, but his eyes turning around couldn't hide his panic. "You, why do you ask this." His voice was really as the villagers said before, slender and piercing, like fingernails scratching on a blackboard, it was uncomfortable to hear, and it seemed to have a severe nasal sound. "I'm a little curious. I'm a history student. I seem to have heard that a clan in this area uses nightmare techniques, so I want to take a look." I told him my purpose frankly. "Nightmare?" Bai Yang's father yelled, "I advise you to go back quickly, don't provoke these things, and you will regret it when something happens!" He tilted his head to one side and stopped talking. "What happened? What happened? Are you referring to Master Lu?" I asked him.Bai Yang's father snorted, "Lu Si asked for it himself. As soon as Yang Zi came back and told me about his condition, I knew she did it." "Her?" I was startled, sure enough, Bai Yang's father knew some secrets.But he soon realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, shut his mouth and stopped talking, no matter how much I asked him, he just kept silent.I had no choice but to give up and ask why Fourth Master Lu was tortured by "Blood Chong". Uncle Bai answered this question very readily. "Lu Si was a soldier. In the past, he often bragged to everyone about his time as a soldier. He said that he was besieged during the war and the soldiers lacked food, so he searched for wild animals in the local area. He even drank it himself. Snake blood, normal snake blood is fine, but what he drank was snake king blood." "Snake King Blood?" I asked in surprise. "Yes, he described the snake in detail. It is three feet long, with a thin cup mouth, white skin, and black markings on its head. All snakes are hibernating, but the snake king is aestivating, so he easily caught the snake king. I don't know if he is lucky or unlucky. The snake king is not a rare treasure, and it is not poisonous, but its blood is very violent, cold in nature, and has great spiritual power. Lu Si said that it was still midsummer at that time, but he drank it I felt cold all over my body, as if I was in an ice cellar. Although I got better later, my body has been cold for many years when that day comes.” "Why didn't he break out 'blood rush' until today?" I asked again. "The blood of the Snake King must be attracted by the outside world to exert its power." Uncle Bai said darkly again, "like dreams, sometimes revenge may happen, it doesn't happen at the time, it's all arranged by fate Yes, I heard that you temporarily saved his life by bloodletting yesterday, but you still don't twist the will of heaven, and even yourself will suffer." "The traction you're talking about is nightmare technique, right?" I continued to ask, but this time he stopped talking, and even turned his head away.Finally I had to say goodbye. He sent me outside the door and didn't come out.But he still said: "Young man, I know you are not Yang Zi's friend. I think you are a very kind person, so I talked to you more. But let me say it again, don't care about Lu Si's affairs, he is doing it on his own. Kneeling and worshiping, you should be careful about yourself. Also, if you want to talk to Yang Zi, he always said that he has no friends here, and I am a person who can't even leave the door. It's my child." After speaking, he sighed and closed the door. I thought about Bai Yang's father's words carefully. It seems that he still concealed a lot of things, but one thing is certain, he is definitely related to Nightmare.I just turned my head and wanted to go back, but there was already a person standing behind me, none other than Bai Yang.Face to face, I found that his skin is really white, so white that it is frightening. I am afraid that it is difficult for even women to find such a complexion. With bright red lips and pointed chin, I really feel like a girl. "What are you doing at my house?" As soon as he spoke, he didn't look like a woman, and he felt very embarrassed. The dead fish eyes behind the black thick-rimmed glasses looked at me up and down with drooping eyelids.It's as if I've come to steal something.I held back my anger and said as gently as I could that I was looking for his father.Not wanting him to lose his composure even more, he shouted almost angrily: "My father won't see you! Hurry up, don't disturb our life!" I saw that he was a little hysterical, so I had no choice but to avoid it temporarily. Didn’t a philosopher say that you’re arguing with a lunatic unless you’re also a lunatic.I thought about it and went back to Lu Siye's house again. Sure enough, he developed much faster than I expected. His neck was swollen again, and his face was flushed. He could only lie on the bed. He just had bloodletting yesterday. It cannot be repeated, not to mention that he is so old, losing a lot of blood is tantamount to suicide. Just when I was at a loss, a more shocking news came. Bai Yang's father died suddenly. The news was told by Bai Yang. Just now, he even said vaguely that after I left, he went in and found that his father was dead. .Everyone who didn't know what was going on looked at me with strange eyes. I was almost carried by a group of people to Bai Yang's house.Sure enough, Bai Yang's father, who was talking to me just now, was lying quietly on the wooden bed inside, with a white scarf covering his face. If he was killed, I would only suspect one person, even though I really hoped that I would skepticism is wrong. "After you left, as soon as I went in, I found that my father was dying. It was almost as if he was exhaling too much and not breathing in. Not long after, he, he died." After speaking, Bai Yang burst into tears. "I have no reason to murder Uncle Bai. I've only been here for a few days? Today is the first time I've seen him." After speaking, everyone began to discuss again. Indeed, the motive for killing Bai Yang's father is too far-fetched.Bai Yang didn't say anything at all, he just kept crying. To be honest, I didn't feel any sympathy when I watched him cry, I just felt it was very artificial. Everyone ran out of ideas, and finally decided to let me stay in the village first, but they took all the luggage and documents to the village committee for safekeeping, and handed them over to me after the matter was over, so I had no choice but to agree. In fact, I was equal to Arrested here.But I don't care, it's better to stay here for a while. The villagers gradually dispersed, the weather was very hot, and the corpse had already smelled a little. Everyone wanted to help Baiyang move the corpse out, but he refused desperately, saying that he wanted to spend the night with his father, so he had no choice but to do so.I didn't leave because I believed Bai Yang had something to say to me. It was already dark outside, and sure enough, Bai Yang, who had been crying in the corner for a long time, finally stood up, went inside and took out a white towel and a washbasin, scooped up less water from the water tank outside, washed his face carefully, and washed his clothes I tidied up again, put on my glasses, and stood in front of me again. "You should know best that I didn't kill your father. Besides, what was the cause of your father's death?" I asked him first. "Indeed, you didn't kill my father." The corners of his mouth were raised, his bright red lips looked terrifying after being washed, and his snow-white teeth looked like animal fangs. "Don't tell me that you killed your father with your own hands." I held back my anger. After all, in the conversation with Uncle Bai, I felt that he was still a kind person, otherwise he would not have reminded me to be safe again and again. "It can't be considered completely." He smiled, as if he was talking about the life and death of others.I couldn't hold back anymore, stood up and grabbed his tightly buttoned collar. I seldom got angry, and I rarely hit anyone, but this time was different. I punched Bai Yang in the face, and his whole body was like a kite. The same thing flew out of my hand and fell beside the bed where Uncle Bai was lying.The strange thing is that he didn't fight back, just crouched there with his head down and sneered. I was surprised by his performance. "Looking at your manners and clothes, you should live in a relatively wealthy family. You have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy the love of your parents and elders." He was still sitting on the ground with his head bowed. I couldn't see his expression, but his tone Very grim. "You can't imagine how I grew up at the same age as you. Poverty, loneliness, and being ridiculed are nothing. Because these are too small compared to the suffering I have suffered." Bai Yang continued to narrate, while I Stand there and listen.It was just me and him in the room, with a rotting corpse.It was dark outside. "I know what you're looking for. Because that's where my father and I came from." Bai Yang's indifferent sentence shocked me very much. Could it be that they are the people who use the nightmare technique?But aren't all of that tribe women? "You must be wondering why our identities are. Have you ever seen bees? The queen bee is the top of the entire rule, and the male peak is just a mating tool used to reproduce offspring. In that clan, men are at most used to reproduce the clan members tools and labor, and is not allowed to leave there for life. My father is a Xiongfeng." I continued to listen, but I couldn't help being surprised, so that I let out an uncontrollable ah. "But the balance has been broken. Those who can use nightmare techniques should be called my aunt and my mother according to the current society. They are gradually separated from society. They live in a place that no one can find. The way of life continued, the nightmare technique allowed them to communicate with the gods, and even temporarily possess the power of the gods to punish mortals, almost becoming the endorsement of the gods, and executing rewards and punishments for the gods. Lu Siye is one of them. Originally, they hoped that I was a girl so that they could inherit the clan's nightmare technique, but they unexpectedly discovered that I was actually a monster!A monster who is neither male nor female! " Bai Yang suddenly shouted hoarsely. "Yes, a monster that can neither inherit the nightmare technique nor reproduce offspring is simply not qualified to live. When I was about to be executed by my mother, my father, the Xiongfeng lying here stood up Come out, under his begging, I was exempted, but the price was that the two of us left the clan forever, and in order to prevent the blood of the clan from being leaked, they castrated my father and cast a nightmare on him . "I've been listening, but going to feel myself shaking.Suddenly the room lit up, Bai Yang actually lit the kerosene lamp, the dim light illuminated the room, and also shone on Bai Yang's father who was lying quietly on the bed. Bai Yang picked up the oil lamp with almost no expression on his face, and walked to the wooden bed.Bring the waiter closer to the corpse covered with a white scarf. "Do you think about what his face looks like?" Bai Yang looked at me with a playful expression, as if joking.Before I could answer, he took off the white scarf. What a face that is.Except for the eyes, almost none of the other parts can be called facial features. There is no nose, lips, or ears. The empty face is covered with shiny scales, and there are only two air holes in the center. "You see. Since I was a child, I have faced such a face all the time. For twenty years, I have had nightmares every day. I have endured others' ridicule for never going to the toilet. I am withdrawn and indifferent. You Do you think I am willing? I hate him, why didn’t he let me die in the first place? But let me suffer in this world?” Bai Yang pointed to the corpse on the bed. "Really you killed him?" "No, he asked for it himself. After you left, I went in and asked him what he had talked with you, but he kept telling me to get in touch with you more, saying that you were a cheerful person, and that I was too cold to Being with people, we got into a fight, and twenty years of resentment finally broke out. I put a plastic bag over his head, I didn't kill him, I just kept asking him, asking if he was alive, asking him What's the point of living like a monster. He started to cry, and he cried. He cried and said that he would have killed me if he knew I was like this. He also said that he endured so much pain for such a result. I tightened my grip My father didn't struggle, he had already given up, but his hands still subconsciously tried to untie the plastic belt, and then his feet kicked off the ground helplessly. There is also a light yellow liquid flowing out from the bottom, and I heard that people will lose control of urine when they are about to be strangled to death, which seems to be true." "You are a beast. Uncle Bai has paid so much for you. He just wants you to live a good life. But you killed him!" I scolded.But Bai Yang laughed again. "I didn't kill anyone, what happened here is at most one monster killed another monster." He said, put the lamp back where it was, and put the white scarf back on.Everything seemed to be nothing happened, so I sat on the chair and looked at me. "Now, do you still want to find that legendary clan? Or do you want to go there and become a male peak? Haha." Bai Yang laughed wantonly.I couldn't stand it anymore, and left the room as if I was running away. Bai Yang's laughter behind me couldn't be dissipated, and it was as clear as a knife.I found everyone, and when I went back to Bai Yang's house, I found that there was already a fire there. Bai Yang set the house on fire, and the stone wall was burnt red. The fire was huge and we didn't fully put it out until near dawn.There were two corpses inside, hugging each other tightly.It's like burning two black firewood. Fourth Master Lu also died a few hours later. No one can stop them from punishing them, just like you can't stop the rain. " At this point, Ji Yan stopped, "That's all my father's narration. He said later that maybe Bai Yang's father was under the snake technique, and his facial features gradually rotted and fell off from his face, and his skin gradually keratinized. Like a snake. And Bai Yang felt that the deformity caused by the marriage of close relatives in the clan made him asexual. After that, his father finally gave up the crazy idea of ​​finding the clan that used the nightmare technique and began to study history and archeology. However, his The body still seems to have been more or less injured, otherwise he would not have died of a sudden illness so early, and some manuscripts and evidence pictures about the nightmare technique he had left behind disappeared immediately. The only thing left is him The story I told." After listening to it, we were a little moved, especially Li Duo, who seemed to be touched by Bai Yang's life experience. After all, she also knew that she was adopted by Ji Yan's parents.The four buried their heads in each other and ate something.Luo Lei asked again: "Then what did you say about the chaos in Chang'an at the end of Zhenguan?" "That's because Tang Taizong saw his sons killing each other for the position of crown prince in his later years. He had no family relationship at all. He felt that he killed his brother and murdered his brother back then. He thought it was a cycle of cause and effect, and he was unhappy with retribution. So he went to Chang'an He often invites people to open an altar to pray for himself, and to chase ghosts and catch demons. In fact, the biggest reason for the turmoil at that time was based on the appearance of the soul-returning incense. As a treasure, its appearance will cause many competitions, although it was later rumored that it was It was brought to Japan, but it still brought a lot of commotion to Chang'an at that time, that's why Emperor Taizong decided to abolish the nightmare technique and imprison the warlocks, so the nightmare technique completely declined after the Tang Dynasty." Ji Yan explained again. "Okay, let's not talk about this, the hot pot is cold." I called the waiter to add some water, and everyone started eating and drinking again.It's just that I still feel emotional about Bai Yang's death in my heart. Perhaps for him, death is a relief, while life is a struggle.
