Chapter 560 Adventure in the Ancient Temple
Professor Shan continued: "I was completely shocked when I heard what the old man said. I didn't expect that the skeleton in the box had such a complicated experience. But when I heard the old man talk about the experience of my cousin, a Chinese medicine doctor, Wang, I couldn't wait to ask
:'A chance experience? What kind of experience was it?'
The old man nodded and continued: "Well, after going there more than ten times, Wang Zhongyi's cousin never saw the living two-faced man again. However, an accidental experience made him know
The secrets of those two-faced people.
That time, he was walking around the ancient tomb at dusk. Somehow, he suddenly lost his way. When it got dark, he still couldn't find the way back. After wandering around, he suddenly saw a temple.
The temple must have been a few years old and looked very dilapidated. It was not big, with only a dozen or so houses. However, the smell of cooking smoke reminded him that there were still people inside. Therefore, cousin Wang Zhongyi was secretly happy.
, quickly walked to the temple door and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, he heard the sound of coughing and walking from inside. When the door opened, cousin Wang, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, discovered that the person who opened the door was an old monk in his seventies. He quickly told the old monk that he was in
He got lost in the mountains and wanted to stay in a temple for one night because it was getting late.
After hearing this, the old monk seemed to have a troubled expression on his face and said that he could not decide on this matter and wanted to ask the master for advice. My cousin was surprised at the time. He did not expect that this old monk in his seventies actually had a master.
!
After the old monk finished speaking, he closed the door again. After a long while, he heard the slow footsteps again. The door opened again. It was still the old monk. This time he put his hands together and opened the door to Cousin Wang Zhongyi.
After letting him in, it seemed that the old monk's master had agreed to let him stay overnight.
After Wang Zhongyi's cousin entered the temple yard, he found that the yard was full of weeds and looked very desolate. For some reason, he felt a chill at that time and suddenly thought of the stories in "Liao Zhai". Deep in this mountain, it was desolate and dilapidated.
In the ancient temple, some ghost foxes will turn into human forms. In this vast twilight, such a strange temple suddenly appears, and the monks in the temple are so weird. It is really very similar to those stories in "Liao Zhai". Wang
Although my cousin who is a Chinese medicine practitioner found this idea ridiculous, he did have this association at the time.
While he was thinking wildly, the seventy-year-old monk had already led him into the room and told him that it was his master's room. His master wanted to meet the cousin of Dr. Wang, who was also very curious.
, wanted to see what the old monk’s master was like, he thought he must be very old.
Then under the dim light, Wang Zhongyi's cousin discovered that the room was very shabby and shabby, with a musty smell. There was not even a piece of furniture, only a broken kang, and there was a monk sitting on the kang, who should be the old man.
The monk's master.
When he saw the old monk's master clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because the old monk's master looked nothing special. He couldn't even be seen to be older than the old monk who opened the door. He was ordinary and nothing special at all.
at.
The cousin of Doctor Wang put his hands together and saluted the old monk's master. The old monk's master was also very polite and invited my cousin, Doctor Wang, to sit on the edge of the pit. Before the cousin of Doctor Wang could say anything, he
He asked something that shocked the cousin of Dr. Wang - the old monk's master asked: Did the donor come to the mountain to find the two-faced man?
After hearing these words, Wang Zhongyi's cousin was so shocked that he couldn't react for a long time. His mind was buzzing, and a cool breeze blew in from the window. He shivered all over, and then he calmed down a little.
When he came down, he stammered and asked the old monk how he knew.
The old monk's master sighed softly, and then slowly told his cousin, an old Chinese medicine doctor, the whole story.
It turns out that the master of this old monk is already over 110 years old. Because he meditates very well, he can live longer. He came to this temple when he was more than ten years old. Therefore, he is in this area.
Have lived there for about a hundred years.
This place is deep in the mountains, and very few people usually come here.
When the old monk's master came to this temple, there were more than ten monks in the temple, but later they all died slowly, and some left on their own. In the end, the old monk's master was left, and he was here alone.
He lived for decades. During those decades, except for two or three months when he went to the mountains to seek alms, he usually stayed in the temple and studied the art of meditation.
The kind of Zen he practices is called zazen. Once this kind of Zen enters concentration, it can last for seven days and seven nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping. The body enters a special state of concentration. In this state, the old monk's
A wonderful change will occur in the feeling of a Master. What change?
Just based on his feeling, as long as there is something moving within a few dozen feet, he can feel it and distinguish what it is. Every time he reaches this state, his whole body will feel extremely comfortable.
It is through this practice of sitting meditation that he becomes extremely strong mentally and physically.
But one year, a strange thing happened.
At that time, the old monk's master was sitting in meditation and gradually entered a state of trance. Especially at midnight, his state reached its peak. But at that time, he suddenly felt something breaking into him.
within the realm of feeling.
When he usually meditates, he can often feel something breaking in within his range, such as some wild deer, hares, eagles, foxes, wolves, etc. Once, there was even a tiger breaking in.
.
But even after sensing the tiger approaching his residence, the old monk's master did not feel very panicked, because he knew that the walls of the temple house were all made of two-foot-thick blue bricks, and the doors and windows were all made of thick wooden boards.
It is made of wood and is extremely strong. As long as it is closed, no wild beast can break in.
But the thing that broke in that time made the old monk's master feel that it was too unusual. First of all, he could not feel what the thing was. This had never happened before. Not only that, the thing also made him feel very unusual.
The old monk's master's meridians were reversed, which almost caused fatal injuries to the old monk's master. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped sitting in meditation immediately, so that his own meridians were not harmed.
As a result, the old monk's master was shocked and angry. He immediately picked up a Zen stick and rushed out to see what it was, almost causing himself serious injury.
When he rushed out, he found that there was a person standing under the moonlight, which surprised him even more. Ordinarily, if someone broke in, he should definitely be able to feel it, and his own meridians would not be able to feel it.
be affected in that way.
Because he has reached a very deep state of Zen, he basically no longer feels fear.
The old monk's master asked the man first, but the man only made a strange low roar.
After the old monk's master approached the man, he gently pushed the man's hair away with the end of a stick, only to find that the man's face was extremely ugly. What was even more strange was that the old monk's master did not see the man open his mouth, but
A strange low roar came from the man. The old monk's master carefully distinguished it and felt that the sound seemed to come from the back of the man's head.
He felt even more strange, so he quickly turned behind the man. The old monk's master was shocked - because there was another face on the back of the man's head, and this face was bigger than the face in front.
It's bigger and not covered by hair.
Most people would be frightened to death when seeing this kind of scene, but the old monk's master had extremely strong control over his emotions because of his extremely deep Zen skills. He quickly regained his composure, and he found that the two-faced man did not seem to be attacking.
Ability, so he relaxed a lot and brought the man into the house because he wanted to take a good look at the two-faced man.
After pulling the two-faced man closer to the room, the old monk could clearly see the appearance of the two-faced man.
Apart from the strange squeaking noises, the Two-Face Man was relatively docile. The old monk's master not only carefully observed the Two-Face Man's two faces, but also looked at other parts of the Two-Face Man's body. He was surprised to find that,
The two-faced man still has a layer of fine hair on his body.
The old monk tried to ask the two-faced man some questions, but the two-faced man didn't seem to understand at all and still just screamed strangely. The old monk's master frowned. From the sound of the shout, the old monk's master was definitely very...
Familiar, what does this sound sound like?
Suddenly a thought flashed into the mind of the old monk and master - the cry of the two-faced man was very much like a kind of monkey, and it was a strange kind of monkey; that kind of monkey is called a 'parasitic monkey', why is it called a parasitic monkey?
First of all, this kind of parasitic monkey is extremely small, the big one is only as big as a fist, and the small one is no more than the size of a human finger. Not only is it small, but its living form is also very special. It usually lives on the body of a large vulture.
In addition to this, this kind of parasitic monkey often lives in some animal groups.
What’s even more weird is that this kind of parasitic monkey does not need to eat, but it also has a kind of parasitic bug on its body. This parasitic bug is almost completely transparent. They will crawl from the parasitic monkey’s body to other animals’ bodies.
After absorbing enough blood from other animals, the blood is injected into the body of the parasitic monkey. The parasitic monkey relies on this method to obtain nutrients and survive.
Thinking of this, the old monk's master suddenly had another idea - could this kind of two-faced person be related to the parasitic monkey? Because he understood that the sound is most closely related to the meridians. If the sound is similar, then the meridians will also
Must be close.
Just then, under the dim light, the old monk's master discovered an even more astonishing scene.
