Chapter 48 The Prophet
Although we couldn't figure out what was going on, there should be no danger when we looked at Hongmao's calm appearance. We followed into the dark room behind the stone slab and saw that the place was not very big, square, and you could see your head as soon as you hit the light.
The moment the light entered the dark room, I suddenly saw that there was a child in the dark room, looking at us straight, which scared me in an instant.
It's so weird that a child suddenly appeared in such a place.
After a closer look, I realized that this was the corpse of a child. It was not sealed or buried. I don’t know how to deal with it. The corpse is still vivid. Apart from the bluish purple on its face, it looks like a living person. I don’t know whether it is because of the climate here or some special anticorrosion measures were made.
There seemed to be no one else in the entire dark room except this child. I asked Hari Chagai what happened, and he said, "Look, what is the surface of this child's body?"
We took a closer look and found that it was a transparent oily thing, like a layer of wax. Hongmao said: "This is called human candle oil. In our shaman secret technique, there is a way to apply human candle oil to the body, and combined with the special divine words, not only can the body not rot for a long time, but most importantly, the ghost of the corpse owner will be locked in this layer of human candle oil."
With the explanation of Hongmao, I went to observe this layer of human candle oil and found that it was quite thick. Who would use this method to deal with a child? Not to mention whether this secret technique is useful, but what is the use of keeping a child's ghost?
Shamanism is a world-wide religion, but due to its long age and chaotic inheritance, no relevant records have been found in the ancient Western Regions. It is really bizarre that this kind of shaman secret technique has appeared on this child.
At this moment, I suddenly found that there was a round hole on the top of the child's head, which was not completely sealed. The most important thing was that there was still blood in the hole, without drying, and the blood was obviously fresh.
I suddenly felt strange, pointed to the hole, and said, "What's going on?"
Hongmao shrugged and said, "I made it. I released the child's ghost, and then, it told me a lot of things." The one-eyed dragon gasped, and his head turned like a rattle, and said, "Ghost? The child's ghost came out? Where is it?"
Harichaga rolled his eyes and said, "It has been saved. But this is not the point."
One-eyed dragon muttered, "The hell is not the point, so what is the point?"
Hongmao said: "This kind of candle oil technique is actually extremely cruel. It requires the vitality of children's oil. Such a large layer of candle oil must have been peeled off many children alive. Among our shamans, this is actually a secret technique that has been lost. Even in ancient times, it was only known to a small number of powerful shaman wizards. In other words, if it were not for me to enter here, but for any other person to enter here, even if it happened to open the mechanism with a hand mold, it would be impossible to release the ghost of this child because they did not know the correct method."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but gasp. The meaning was obvious. Everything was so coincidental. The handprints on the stone slab and the identity of the shaman were all like it was tailor-made for Hari Chaga.
Wen Min said in surprise: "How could such a thing happen? No, since things have been lost, how do you know?" Her question was sharp. Hongmao shrugged, pointed at me, and said: "Why did you think I would help you find Hu Ji Duo in the 'Ghost Fiction'?" At that time, the trip to the Ghost Fiction was indeed extremely dangerous. I didn't know Hongmao before, and I thought Hongmao was the guide for us for money. Now I have known each other for a long time, and I also know Hongmao's temper. This kid usually smiles and crys poor everywhere, but it is not the kind of person who wants to live for money. On the contrary, this kid is very clever and slick.
After the ghost gang, he started a loss-making business. In the end, not only did he not get angry, but he also followed me and Tofu to Shenzhen for no reason. Finally, through our relationship, he stayed directly with Zhuanrui.
No matter how you think about it, this kid's purpose is not like just for money.
Before I could reply, Harichagai said, "In the early years, I had been in Inner Mongolia. That area was the birthplace of the shaman culture in the northwest. In fact, I knew that there were many treasure secret techniques left by my ancestors, but I was unable to do it because of my weak power. Later, the surname Zhuan suddenly came to me and gave me a copy of the information you dug out of Yaofang."
I immediately understood and said, "What are the relevant things recorded in that pile of information?"
Hari Chaga nodded and said, "Yes, this lost secret technique was discovered in the rubbing that Zhuanrui gave me."
I said, "So you followed Zhuanrui later because you knew that he had been following the shaman clues, so you wanted to benefit from it." Hongmao nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, but not all. After I found out that he was a purifier, I gave up." As soon as he said this, some of my doubts had been resolved before, Wen Min took over the conversation and asked about the child's affairs.
According to the conditions for opening the ghost, the first thing is that the handprints match, and secondly, the powerful among the shamans. Harichaga is not a powerful person, at best, a blind cat encounters a dead mouse. But this coincidence really seems very strange.
This was originally a reserved agency, and now everything is showing. This reserved agency seems to be left for the red hair.
Did the ancients two thousand years ago have expected that two thousand years later, a group of people like us would come here?
After Wenmin asked, Hari Chagai told us the reason. Of course, all of this was told by the child in front of him.
In fact, this child was not a shaman, but a prophet.
The so-called prophets generally have two meanings. One is that people with profound wisdom and knowledge can learn from history and clearly understand the world, so as to accurately calculate the future situation based on the existing situation. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of foresight, such as those experts predicting housing prices in the real estate market.
Another meaning is mythological. This kind of prophet is born and assigned by the gods to save the world. They can see the past, present and future through their souls and help people avoid good and bad luck.
The child in front of him is a prophet in the second sense. He started to have some predictable dreams from the beginning, and these dreams eventually became reality. At the beginning, he just dreamed of some small things, such as raining tomorrow, and later there would be insufficient firewood at home, etc., but as he grew older, he dreamed of more and more things.
In the end, he predicted that a very terrible thing was that the "Emma" who was suppressed by the Lord of the Gods would break through the obstacles, then eat all the people in the ancient city, swallow silkworms, and become an empty city without a man.
Emma, which is what they call 01.
All his prophecies were accurate, so at that time, he was regarded as a prophet at a young age.
When the one-eyed dragon heard this, he smacked his tongue: "Dream in dreaming about the future? Is it so exaggerated?"
Wen Min shook her head and said, "No exaggeration, there was a prophet in Britain in the 19th century who also dreamed of speaking. It caused a sensation at that time, but he suddenly disappeared." I asked subconsciously, "How did it disappear?"
Wen Min said: "No one knows how he disappeared. Think about it, what would happen if you were a very powerful person and found a person who could predict?" Without waiting for my answer, the one-eyed dragon immediately said: "Let him predict all the lottery and stocks for me, and then I will send it."
Wen Min nodded and said, "Yes, so although no one knows the truth about his disappearance, many people speculate that he may have been forcibly recruited or hijacked by a certain force. Even if he can predict, he is just an ordinary person."
One-eyed dragon sighed when he heard this. Wenmin's words reminded me of one thing. A small number of people had such an experience. At a certain moment, they would feel that what was happening in front of them had dreamed of in their dreams and could clearly realize what would happen in the next moment. Although this situation is rare, it is more common than that of a rare prophet.
Scientists have studied this phenomenon, believing that it is an illusion caused by memory delay, and some opponents believe that this is the sixth sense of human disappearance. The sixth sense, which once seemed mysterious, has now been proven to exist.
Before the disaster comes, animals will have some senses. The intensity of each animal's senses is different. Humans also have the sixth sense, but this perception gradually degenerates in a long and comfortable life.
A small number of people will still be left behind. There are fewer people in this part, but they do exist. Someone once joked: If there is really a doomsday in the world and there is really a Noah’s Ark, then when the doomsday comes, the one who is truly qualified to climb the ark should be the people with the strongest sixth sense, rather than politicians or wealthy businessmen, because the former retains the sixth sense, and this ability of human beings to gradually disappear can allow new humans to find the most correct way to survive in the apocalypse.
Back to the topic, the prophet's new birth prophecy caused unprecedented panic in the ancient city of Silkworm Swallowing Scarboroughs. In order to change this terrible nightmare, with the participation of all the sacrifices, they began to use more exaggerated human sacrifices to enhance the power of the Heavenly Eye in order to change their destiny.
The prophet also expected this scene and also expected an unchangeable fact. Under his mobilization, most of the people began to transfer, leaving only a small number of the diehards still defending the dead, while the prophet expected the demise of the ancient city and expected a great hidden danger. So he asked a priest to preserve his body and soul in this way, waiting for the arrival of the person who could eliminate the hidden dangers.
The one-eyed dragon looked at the red-haired strangely and said, "Don't tell me, this person is you."
Hongmao said calmly: "Yes, this person is me."
