Walking into the ward, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help being startled when he saw the pot of flowers. The ward is on the top floor of the newly built west wing of the hospital. It is a special ward. The bed is placed inside, and the outside is a quite spacious living room connected to the balcony. The layout is comfortable and simple.It doesn't look like a hospital ward, but rather a very elegant and clean high-end hotel room.Moreover, all the furnishings are not always white, but are composed of a variety of pleasing and elegant colors, which is the result of careful design by the designer.

Patients who can be admitted to this special ward are naturally rich or expensive, and generally speaking, their illnesses may not necessarily be serious.People with high status and status have gained fame and wealth, and the most concerned thing is naturally their own health. This seems to be without exception.Therefore, even if there is a slight illness, I will go to the hospital to stay for a few days, take the opportunity to check my body, in order to prolong my life and health. When people with high social status enter the hospital, their relatives and friends will naturally send a lot of flowers, so in the living room of the special ward, special shelves are specially designed for placing flowers.But there have been no flowers on the flower stand here. After the patient came in, not only had no visitors, but no one sent flowers. The flower stand was always empty. Until today, there was only a pot of flowers.

It is a potted flower that anyone will notice as soon as he comes in, as long as he takes a look at the flower shelf. The shape of the flower is not special. The flower is very big, a bit like a peony flower. There are nine flowers in total, and each flower is in full bloom, and it looks like a feeling of life.The flowers are planted in an ordinary green pot, and there are nine flowers, each of which is of a different height, like the elaborate masterpiece of a famous flower arranging artist.These are nothing, but what makes the nine flowers attract people's attention at a glance is their color.

That bouquet of flowers was black—black as thick as lacquer! At this moment, Yuan Zhenxia was not only shocked by the black flowers, but also had lingering fears about this kind of black like thick lacquer.Seeing this kind of black flower reminded him of that yacht that was black inside and out, and the owner of the yacht—the beautiful girl who was inextricably linked with the weird and unpredictable devil king. . This girl and a good friend of Yuan Zhenxia are currently using their wealth to promote a cult.The purpose is for believers to voluntarily sell their souls to the devil in exchange for the arrival of magic, and fulfill the wish of the soul seller.

This is a very unpleasant story, even thinking about it gives me chills.Among Yuan Zhenxia's many weird experiences, the last thing he wants to think about is the story of this "witch".Therefore, when he saw the thick black flowers, he was naturally startled. Yuan Zhenxia's gaze paused for a moment on the bunch of black flowers, thinking in his heart: Such a potted flower is very suitable for giving to the "witch"! He couldn't help but took a deep breath. As a result of this action, he clearly felt a very strong sweet fragrance—that kind of floral fragrance, which Yuan Zhenxia had never experienced before. I can think of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees.But the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus is soft and greasy, not as strong as this flower scent, so it was so prominent when it smelled.

Yuan Zhenxia never associated that very special floral fragrance with that bouquet of black flowers.Because botanists have done research a long time ago, pure black flowers do not exist in natural conditions.In general, dark purple flowers are considered black.For example, the Chinese people's favorite flower, peony, has a so-called black variety, but the so-called "black peony" is actually only dark purple, and the same is true for black tulips. In the natural state of flowers, there is no reason why they are black. Botanists have several different theories.It is generally accepted that because plants rely on insects to disperse pollen and sustain life, flowers also need to have colors and smells that can attract insects.Insects don't like black, so even plants with black flowers in the past were naturally eliminated because they were not suitable for black conditions.

Therefore, there are no black flowers in nature. Because of this, when Yuan Zhenxia saw the bunch of black flowers, what he thought was: it was a pot of fake flowers.Fake flowers naturally have no fragrance, so he never associated that prominent fragrance with black flowers in his thoughts. At this time, besides thinking about the unpleasant things about the "witch" not long ago, he also thought: who sent a pot of fake flowers? Sending fake flowers to the ward is inappropriate enough, let alone black fake flowers!Maybe the flower sender is just a prank, or a harmless joke, but for the patient, it may cause psychological discomfort.

In particular, Yuan Zhenxia, ​​as the attending doctor of this patient, knew that the patient was very sensitive, and he still had doubts even though he had passed a strict physical examination.The scope of the examination is so wide that it has actually exceeded the principles of general health examination—many additional examinations are deemed unnecessary by doctors, and the examinee has to endure a considerable degree of pain, such as pulling out the spinal cord in the spine. etc.However, due to the patient's persistence, they were carried out one by one, and the result of the examination was that everything was very healthy and normal.

However, although the patient didn't say anything, his demeanor, as a doctor, could tell that the patient believed that death was threatening him! Yuan Zhenxia strongly felt that this patient had this kind of psychological pressure, so he asked a psychiatrist to come for consultation.But as soon as the patient knew the identity of the consulting doctor, he threw the psychiatrist out in a rage. From some conversations between Yuan Zhenxia and this patient, we can see the mentality of this patient.A few days ago, after all the examinations that could be done on the human body were completed and there were definite reports, Yuan Zhenxia walked into the special ward with relaxed steps, and said to the patient in a very relaxed tone: "All examinations, It all proves that every part of your body is perfectly healthy and normal, you can leave the hospital every second!"

After hearing this, the patient bowed his head in silence, with a very sad expression, as if he was full of thoughts. (Take this opportunity to introduce this patient, because this patient plays a very important role in the future development of this story.) Before Yuan Zhenxia was appointed as the attending doctor by this patient, he had never met him. That day, in the office, he received a call from the dean: "There is a Mr. Xi, with a letter of introduction from Dr. Linus, who has appointed you to be his chief physician. Please come to my office." Yuan Zhenxia naturally knew who Dr. Linus was. He was a world-renowned authority on tropical pathology. In Sri Lanka, he presided over an international-scale tropical pathology research institute.

That "Mr. Xi" has a letter of introduction from such a great scientist. Although it says that a doctor should not pay attention to the patient's identity, but only the patient's disease, there are always small shortcomings in human beings. Some patients always arouse the doctor's special attention. At that time, Yuan Zhenxia thought in his heart: Why did he appoint himself as the chief physician?While thinking, he replied on the phone: "Tropical diseases are not my specialty, this patient..." Before he finished speaking, the dean had already laughed: "Come quickly! From my point of view, this gentleman is in good health and has no illnesses. He probably wants to have a detailed physical examination!" Yuan Zhenxia went to the dean's office and saw the patient for the first time.He looked about thirty-seven or eight years old, thin and tall, with a natural noble temperament, his skin looked very dark, but his face was quite pale. (It's not a contradiction, even black people go pale at times.) The shape of his face is a bit long and narrow, but it highlights his very expressive eyes and a rather high nose.It's just that his eyes look rather melancholy, definitely not the eyes that a happy person should have. His lips were thicker than the average man's, but the lines were very pronounced. Yuan Zhenxia's initial impression of this patient is: this is a man who can be called a handsome man, and he must be a very connotative man. Therefore, when he shook hands with the other party and found that the other party's fingers were slender and his hair was naturally curly, he immediately thought: He must be an artist, probably a musician, more likely a pianist. But he didn't say it.The reason why he didn't say "Your Excellency is a musician" is that at the same time, he saw a diamond ring on the ring finger of the other party's left hand.The diamonds in the ring were quite large, at least five carats, and of such excellent quality that they sparkled even in ordinary indoor light. If we had a bad impression when we first met, it was because of this ring. It also made him think that an artist, no matter how rich he is, would probably not have such tacky decorations.Therefore, he felt that his estimate of the other party was wrong. After shaking hands, the "Mr. Xi" introduced himself in very standard English: "My name is Xi? Pengara? Taining." Yuan Zhenxia was taken aback for a moment, first introduced himself, and then asked, "Your Excellency is..." What he meant was to ask where the other party was from.This name is obviously not a Chinese name, but from the other party's point of view, it is obviously Asian, so Yuan Zhenxia wanted to ask. However, that seat?Bangla?Mr. Taining intentionally avoided this question, and just smiled politely: "I have a few Chinese friends, they all call me Xi Taining, so let me take my surname as Xi!" Yuan Zhenxia raised his eyebrows, but naturally he didn't ask any more questions.The dean handed over a letter at this time: "This is a letter from Dr. Linus, you should read it first." Yuan Zhenxia was a little puzzled, but after reading the letter quickly, he understood why the dean asked him to "read it first". Here's the letter from the Doctor: Introducing the "patient" seat?Bangla?Mr. Taining came to your hospital. I put the word patient in quotation marks because according to my diagnosis, this gentleman is in excellent health and has no illness at all.But he insisted on going to the hospital for treatment, so I am writing this letter of introduction to you. seat?Bangla?Mr. Taining also asked me to convey a special wish of his to Your Excellency.He will appoint a doctor from your hospital as the attending doctor, and he is unwilling to disclose his identity—in fact, I don’t even know his identity—so, just treat him as a patient and don’t pursue other cases. , I am convinced that he is so rich that he can afford any expenses. This is a very special letter of introduction, and it is written by Dr. Linus himself, making the introduction even more solemn. After Yuan Zhenxia read the letter of introduction, he thought about it for a while—at this moment, it would be impolite to look at the person who refused to reveal his identity, so Yuan Zhenxia just thought in his heart: this person's identity ,What exactly is it?But immediately, he felt that it was meaningless, no matter whether he was an emperor or a beggar, as long as he was sick, the method of treatment was the same. Therefore, he handed the letter to the dean with a very natural attitude, and at the same time turned to Xi Taining: "Mr. Xi means..." Xi Taining immediately said: "I want to ask the original doctor to do a detailed examination for me first." Yuan Zhenxia nodded: "Yes!" When he agreed, he never thought that the so-called "detailed inspection" would be so detailed! Therefore, through quick arrangements, Mr. Xi Taining became the patient of Dr. Yuan Zhenxia and was admitted to the special ward of the hospital. The next day, the inspection started, which was already detailed enough, but Xi Taining asked again and again for various inspections. For nearly ten days, Yuan Zhenxia carried out inspection work at his request.At the same time, he was carefully observing his state of mind. Taining was very melancholy and preoccupied, so he didn't speak much.When he was silent, he always frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and he could hardly bear the natural darkness, and when it was dusk, he would appear very disturbed, and he would start drinking. It is absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol, but one is that patients in special wards always have some privileges; the other is that after the first day's examination, Yuan Zhenxia was sure that he was not sick at all.So for the first time when Xi Taining took out a bottle of expensive and rare "Sherignac" aged brandy in front of the doctor, he glanced at Yuan Zhenxia, ​​Yuan Zhenxia just made a helpless gesture, never After that, it became a routine for Xi Taining to drink every night. Xi Taining's capacity for alcohol is very good, one bottle of wine, the next day, there is only an empty bottle, and he is not drunk at all.In order to get to know the patient better, Yuan Zhenxia once drank with him until midnight.Usually people who drink alcohol must talk a lot, but Xi Taining is different, he just drinks without saying a word, but the more he drinks, the more gloomy his expression becomes.Moreover, the sighing sound in the middle can also make people clearly feel the pain of his mood. Yuan Zhenxia tried to make him speak out, but failed.After a few days, Yuan Zhenxia was sure of one thing: the various tests he requested proved that he really thought that a certain part of his body was sick and would kill him.That's why Yuan Zhenxia asked a psychiatrist for consultation. The result of the consultation was extremely unpleasant.Xi Taining, who has always been a very gentleman and behaved naturally and noblely, became madly angry and drove the psychiatrist out. However, Yuan Zhenxia also got an expert's opinion: "It is not uncommon for this patient to think that there is a hidden and fatal disease in his body. Even though he is not willing, you still have to suggest that he accept it." Psychiatric treatment, otherwise, he will be killed by this stubborn and weird idea in his heart!" Therefore, when Yuan Zhenxia told Xi Taining in a relaxed tone that day that he could leave the hospital every second and that his health was absolutely fine, Xi Taining's reaction did not surprise him. At that time, after hearing Yuan Zhenxia's words, Xi Taining first turned his head to look out the window, then held his head in his hands, and said in a very sad tone: "You can't find out!" Although Yuan Zhenxia was not surprised, but at that moment, he also had an impulse - really wanted to grab Xi Taining's thick and curly hair and throw him straight out of the ward! He even reached out his hand.When he realized that of course he couldn't do this, and wanted to withdraw his hand immediately, Xi Taining suddenly raised his head, and held Yuan Zhenxia's hand with both hands.At this moment, the look he was looking at Yuan Zhenxia was the look of a person in a desperate situation asking for help! Yuan Zhenxia was taken aback, but still said in a very calm voice: "Whatever you want to say, just say it!" Xi Taining's lips trembled, obviously he wanted to say something.But after several minutes, he still didn't say anything. He just sighed and let go of his hand: "Look... Is there any part I forgot to check?" Yuan Zhenxia sighed: "Even the hair and nails have been tested, what else can be checked? Mr. Xi, yes, there is one thing that needs to be checked, and that is your mental state." Xi Taining replied with a demeanor and tone of resolute refusal: "No! Go away, I understand that my mental state is very normal!" Yuan Zhenxia felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, sneered, and said with an attitude that a doctor should never speak to a patient: "Then, I have nothing to do, I have done everything I can do!" When Yuan Zhenxia said this, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.A doctor shouldn't talk to a patient like this, but the other party is not a patient at all, so it's different. Xi Taining turned around: "I don't want to leave the hospital yet, you are still my attending doctor!" Yuan Zhenxia didn't say a word, turned around and left the ward. There is no doubt that Xi Taining "can afford any expenses". The bottle of wine he drinks every day is equivalent to a senior employee's salary for a month.Yuan Zhenxia was curious about his origin and identity for a while, but now he is no longer interested. Although, because Xi Taining has always maintained a very educated demeanor, Yuan Zhenxia did not feel disgusted, but he naturally became much colder towards Xi Taining. From that day on, as the attending doctor, Yuan Zhenxia just went into the ward three times a day, took the "patient"'s temperature and blood pressure, listened with a stethoscope, and asked the "patient" what was wrong, that's all. Naturally, regardless of the "patient's" repeated refusals, Yuan Zhenxia always advised him to see a psychiatrist.But Xi Taining's attitude has always been melancholy, and he doesn't even say a word all day long, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. Yuan Zhenxia once mentioned this situation to the dean.There are all kinds of strange patients in the hospital, but there are very few patients like Xi Taining, and the dean can't come up with a solution, so he has to let him live. But today, suddenly there was a pot of black fake flowers! What Yuan Zhenxia immediately thought was that black represents death. For Xi Taining, this strange change will definitely cause him emotional uneasiness.I hope that the flowers were just brought in, and Xi Taining has not seen them yet, so he has to quickly take out this pot of fake flowers! When he was thinking like this, he walked quickly to the flower shelf, and when he got closer, the strong fragrance became stronger and stronger.Although he believed in his heart that it was a pot of fake flowers, he was certain that the strong fragrance came from this pot of flowers! Naturally, there are many ways to make artificial flowers emit fragrance. The simplest method is to spray a large amount of perfume on the artificial flowers.So, what is the purpose of the flower giver? Yuan Zhenxia thought as he came to the flower stand.When he looked down at the potted flower, the scent became stronger, almost making his breathing difficult.Yuan Zhenxia hurriedly straightened his body, and at this moment, he found that the potted flower was not a fake flower, but a real flower, a real pure black flower!The flowering branches are dark brown, with fine thorns, no leaves, just flowers—about the size of a human palm! This made Yuan Zhenxia extremely surprised. When he lowered his head again to observe the strange flower more carefully, Xi Taining's voice came from behind him: "Don't get too close, this kind of flower It is poisonous, the pollen is very poisonous!" Yuan Zhenxia was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed that the black flowers had dark black stamens as thick as lacquer, the female stamens were very prominent, and the stamens had the same black pollen. Yuan Zhenxia's original intention was not to let Xi Taining see the potted flower, at this moment, he naturally knew that he didn't need to do anything unnecessary.He turned around and saw Xi Taining's expression was very strange, as if he was excited but anxious. Yuan Zhenxia pointed to the potted flower: "What kind of flower is this?" Xi Taining didn't answer this question directly, but walked to the flower stand and took a deep breath, as if smelling the fragrance of flowers: "Not only are the pollen poisonous, the stalks are poisonous, the petals are poisonous, the roots are poisonous, even the fragrance of the flowers is also poisonous!" Yuan Zhenxia looked at him, feeling a little unpredictable about his words, waiting for his further explanation. Xi Taining took another deep breath: "The fragrance of this flower is famous all over the world, and it will intoxicate people. The effect is similar to that of drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, or even taking LSD. It will make people have very beautiful hallucinations!" Yuan Zhenxia raised his eyebrows: "There is no need to go through the burning process, just smelling the fragrance of flowers will make people intoxicated?" Xi Taining nodded, walked a few steps away, and sat down.Yuan Zhenxia glanced at the pot of flowers again, at this moment, he only felt an indescribably strange feeling about the black flowers in the pot. He said in a deep voice: "Since this potted flower is poisonous, I don't think it is suitable to be placed in the ward!" Xi Taining seemed to have expected this kind of situation long ago, and his reaction came quickly and calmly: "Doctor, it's best not to express any opinion on things you don't understand!" Yuan Zhenxia was a little annoyed and raised his hand.But before he could open his mouth, Xi Taining rushed to say: "This potted flower can do things that your well-equipped and talented hospital can't do!" There was obvious irony in his words.Yuan Zhenxia can hear it naturally, and immediately said coldly: "Chewing the flowers raw, or decocting them into herbal tea and eating them, will heal your paranoid disease?" He originally wanted to say "you can be cured of your mental illness", but suddenly, he changed "mental illness" to "suspicious illness", and his tone naturally softened a lot. But Xi Taining was still very angry, and repeated in a deep voice: "It's best not to express your opinion on things you don't understand!" Yuan Zhenxia raised his voice: "Is there anything I don't understand? You are not sick, and this kind of flower can't help you. I understand everything!" Xi Taining immediately asked back in a very rapid voice: "Do you understand? May I ask how much do you know about 'head lowering'?" For a while, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't understand his words, so he could only ask, "What did you say?" There is a reason why Yuan Zhenxia couldn't understand Xi Taining's words.Because they have been talking in English, and when talking about the word "Jiantou", Xi Taining did not use English, but used the Chinese Cantonese pronunciation, such as "Kung Fu" and "Wonton" have become The same as English vocabulary.So for a moment, Yuan Zhenxia really couldn't connect the pronunciation of these two characters with the word "Jiantou", forming a concept in his mind. And when Yuan Zhenxia asked back, Xi Taining's reaction was very strange.In an instant, his face became extremely pale, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.It seemed that the words he said hastily just now in a fit of anger revealed some secret, and it was as if a catastrophe would be imminent! Yuan Zhenxia waited for a while, but couldn't get his answer, and asked again: "What did you just say?" Xi Taining stood up, waved his hands, and sat down again, as if he had made the greatest determination, he said two words from his mouth: "Bow your head!" To say those two words, to him, it seemed that he didn't know how much effort it would take.After he finished speaking, he gasped involuntarily, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. But Yuan Zhenxia still didn't understand.Naturally, if Yuan Zhenxia saw the word "head down", he would know what was going on.But just listening to the voice, he really couldn't imagine that the other party would suddenly mention the matter of "lowering the head" in such an abrupt situation! He just imitated the pronunciation of these two words, and then asked very puzzled: "What is that?" Xi Taining showed a very bitter smile, and murmured: "It would be great if I knew what that is!" Seeing Taining's serious expression, Yuan Zhenxia hastily asked, "Can't there be the simplest explanation?" Xi Taining looked at Yuan Zhenxia, ​​breathing quickly: "The simplest explanation is that it is a kind of witchcraft──" As soon as this sentence came out, Yuan Zhenxia suddenly understood.He took a breath: "Oh, Jiangtou! I'm sorry, I really didn't expect that you would suddenly bring up this matter. Jiangtou, of course, I don't know much about Jiangtou, why did you suddenly think of it..." When Yuan Zhenxia spoke up to this point, he suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Xi Taining with a very suspicious look.There was a question swirling in his throat, but he didn't ask it. The reason why he didn't ask was because he felt that if this sentence was asked, it would be a very funny thing! The question he wanted to ask was: "Mr. Xi, did you suffer some kind of head drop?" As a doctor, Yuan Zhenxia naturally couldn't ask such a question. The simplest explanation Xi Taining made just now is: that is a kind of witchcraft.This explanation is naturally not enough to summarize the rich content of "head drop", but it is very simple and clear. Yuan Zhenxia is a Western medicine doctor who has undergone strict scientific training, but witchcraft is completely within the realm of metaphysics. However, Yuan Zhenxia's mood is very contradictory.He has had personal experience to prove the existence of witchcraft, and the curse of witchcraft can be fulfilled in the next generation of the cursed!This experience convinced him again that there is so little that human science can understand! Because of his contradictory mood, although he didn't ask this sentence, but looking directly at the doubtful expression of the other party, it was as if he had said it, and Xi Taining nodded very slowly. In an instant, the ward was extremely quiet, and the two of them could hear each other's breathing. Xi Taining has already answered Yuan Zhenxia's question: Yes, I got hit by a head drop! After Yuan Zhenxia received such an answer, his thoughts naturally became extremely chaotic.The first thing he thought of was: What is "hitting the head and lowering the head"? "Changing the head" is a very common saying, which means to be harmed by the "dropping the head". However, what is "head down"? Yuan Zhenxia cannot be regarded as an expert in this field, what he knows is only slightly more than ordinary people. He knew that "head down" had a rich and rich content.At this time, he couldn't think about it one by one, he just thought of one point in general: it was a process of achieving the goal through witchcraft, magic, or various inconceivable methods. And "hitting the head down" means being victimized by such methods, and the victims can have hundreds of consequences! What is the head drop in Xi Taining?What will happen to him?It seemed that it was not for nothing that he strictly demanded a thorough examination of his body.Is the lowering head among him some kind of poison that will cause him to die? The silence lasted at least three minutes, and it was Xi Taining who broke the silence first. He smiled bitterly: "That's why I must come to you, because I know that you have had many strange experiences, especially in witchcraft, and you have also done in-depth research..." Yuan Zhenxia also smiled wryly: "You mean, you... were victimized by a kind of witchcraft... What would happen?" Xi Taining took a deep breath: "I will... have a strange disease, and then, I will die soon." Yuan Zhenxia frowned and shook his head. That is really hard to believe! Xi Taining suddenly became excited, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You don't believe it? You should believe it, why don't you believe it?" Yuan Zhenxia took a deep breath: "I didn't say that I don't believe it. In fact, I have experienced something even more incredible. However, I don't understand your situation at all, so how can I have a positive reaction." Yuan Zhenxia's words were very sincere, Xi Taining looked at him for a moment, his excited expression gradually calmed down. Yuan Zhenxia said again: "If what happened to you cannot be understood with common sense, then from the first day you entered the hospital, you should treat me as a friend and tell everything to me. I, instead of saying nothing!" These few words smack of a bit of reproach.Xi Taining sighed, his lips trembled a few times, and then he said bitterly: "I thought... with modern medical technology, something could always be found. Who knows... nothing can be found!" Yuan Zhenxia said slowly: "Based on the usual reasoning, nothing can be found out, just nothing happened." Xi Taining waved his hands again and again: "No, no, there must be, I know myself──I was hit by the head bow." Yuan Zhenxia didn't answer, waiting for him to say more about how he "dropped his head". However, Xi Taining's expression was uncertain, and he hesitated to speak several times, as if he was very embarrassed, and deliberately avoided Yuan Zhenxia's gaze, and changed the subject: "Should we first confirm what is 'head-down', and then ...Speaking of it, is it easier to understand?" For Xi Taining's attitude, Yuan Zhenxia naturally didn't appreciate it very much, but he still said patiently: "I'm afraid few people in the world can answer this question. Perhaps, with a lot of manpower and material resources, we can have a certain degree of success." As a result, it must be a huge tome, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words!" Xi Taining showed a very disappointed expression: "I think you have at least a certain degree of research on this kind of thing!" Yuan Zhenxia heard what he said, and it was a challenge to his common sense. He didn't want to show weakness in front of this mysterious man who claimed to have "hit the head down", so he thought about it for a while: "As far as I know, the 'head down' The content of 'is very complicated. It can be traced back to the 'gu' used by the Miao people and Yi people in Yunnan and Guizhou. It is a strange and strange method - to cultivate some substances or bacteria that modern science cannot understand. And the increase or decrease in the number of these substances or bacteria can be controlled through changes in human emotions!" When Yuan Zhenxia spoke up to this point in one breath, he stopped for a while.Even I felt a little funny about the "style" like a textbook just now. But Xi Taining listened very attentively, and expressed his opinion: "Yes, there was a gentleman, when he was young, he had an experience with 'Gu', and I read his records in detail." Yuan Zhenxia said: "Very good, then we can briefly mention that aspect. There are many kinds of 'Gu', each of which achieves its goal through very complicated methods. Perhaps it is due to nature. Because of the environment, the Gu art did not spread to the north, but spread to the south, and spread to Southeast Asia. Burma, Thailand, Malaya, and even India are all areas where the Gu art spread. And the Chinese in those areas, just The Gu art is collectively referred to as 'dropping the head', in fact, the content of the two is very different!" Xi Taining nodded repeatedly.Yuan Zhenxia's words clearly let people know that he is not ignorant of "lowering the head". Yuan Zhenxia took another breath: "In fact, the content of lowering the head is richer than that of Gu art. It combines local spells, witchcraft, and incantations, and uses more things, including dead people, and even the dead. It involves the study of souls. Among the many kinds of head-bending, there is a magical method that allows the performer to control the soul of a child or teenager and serve the performer!" Xi Taining groaned: "Yes, this kind of head lowering is called 'raising ghosts'." ("Raising ghosts" is a very terrifying head-reduction technique. The head-reduction master steals the dead child's body—the death cannot exceed one day and one night. Then, in a very secret place, the child's corpse is treated Chanting a spell, through an extremely magical power, makes the soul of the dead under the control of the caster.) (After the caster successfully controls the soul of the deceased, the body is buried. The controlled soul will follow the caster's will to do many things that only the soul can do, such as transcending time and space, confusing Human emotions or harming others, etc. The strength of the ability depends on the level of mana of the caster.)
