the last priest

A man, a man with long hair to the waist, a modern man with long hair to the waist, a modern man with long hair to the waist who died no more than half a year ago.

The red rope that may have come from the Yiwu Small Commodity Wholesale Market proved that this person is at least a modern person. Except for those who are engaged in art or have a strong personality, modern men rarely grow hair, and it is this length.

Half a year ago, a man with long hair reaching his waist and wearing ancient jade found this place?

Cha Wenbin shook his head and denied the answer. After Leng Yiran fell in, weeds were overgrown around the entrance, and it didn't look like a place where people had been active, unless there were other entrances that he didn't know.

Although he couldn't remember a lot of things, he could still remember how he got to the forked intersection. Later, he still vaguely remembered meeting Zhuo Xiong, and after thinking about it, he would feel a severe headache.

The hair soaked in water had already started to have moss, and he grabbed it casually and saw that the hair was messy and unmanaged. He could imagine that if this person stood in front of him alive, he would be regarded as a savage.Because the beards on his chin and lips are as long as a palm, this person probably hasn't tidied himself up for a long time.

Except for the jade ring, there was no one around the dead body who could prove his identity. Frowning, Cha Wenbin lit a candle and inspected this highly sensitive dead body from top to bottom.Except for the huge wound on his belly caused by those maggot bites, Cha Wenbin didn't find any fatal injuries on the skin alone.Judging from the pitch-black hair, this person was not very old, about the same age as Cha Wenbin estimated, but a lot of water plants and mud were found in his nostrils.

"Those who fell into the water and drowned," Cha Wenbin said to himself.He had touched drowned people, and his daughter had also drowned.The easiest way to identify the cause of death of a body floating in the water is to check the nostrils and lungs. If you were alive before falling into the water, you will choke on the water.Out of survival instinct, people struggling in the water will roll up the silt and aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, and oppressive breathing will make these silt enter the human respiratory tract, but this phenomenon will not happen to people who fall into the water after dying.At that time, Cha Wenbin's daughter drowned in the river, and her throat and nostrils were all blocked by a kind of black waterweed. In the local area, this kind of waterweed is often fished up and dried, which is indispensable for making "yellow paper". A kind of raw material, so the death of his daughter has an unusual evil smell.

By the river, Cha Wenbin randomly built a grave with random rocks, so as not to expose the corpse in the wilderness, so at least taking other people's things made him feel better.

Pressing a stack of paper money on the pile of stones, Cha Wenbin lit a stick of incense and said, "It's safe to burrow into the ground. I'll take your piece of jade away first. It will be used as a proof for your family to look for you. If you have any last words If you haven't finished it, drag a dream to me at night."

Turning around, with a "click", the stone that was holding the paper money fell down for some reason, and the paper money that was originally pressed was blown away by a gust of wind. Cha Wenbin stopped and looked back. The incense that was just lit has gone out.Those paper moneys fell at his feet one after another. Faced with such a strange scene, Zha Wenbin even showed a smile on his face. He took out the jade pendant from his arms and said: "If you don't bring it with you, don't you die?" Take it with you, if you can't put it down, it will be nothing more than a cup of loess. Don't let that greedy heart dirty your stinky skin and dirty this jade."

With a "咻", a cold light from the Seven Star Sword flashed, and a piece of paper money that was floating was split in half...

Cha Wenbin felt that his body was also very weak, and he vomited out the water he had just drank before it was time to refill it. Burp is over.

After washing his face, he slapped his cheeks with both hands and said, "It can last for a while, but I have to find someone."

Walking along this underground undercurrent is his only choice at present. The pebbles by the river beach can make a "squeak" sound every time he takes a step, and the huge underground world will also "squeak" echoes, as if they are talking to him. The unexpected guest expressed dissatisfaction.

Cha Wenbin is an extremely sensitive person. He can feel that there is something following him not far behind him. He walks and stops, and always keeps a distance of about ten meters.The sword in his hand has trembled more than once. This is a warning to the owner before encountering an evil thing, or it is excited to fight.

Like the Killing Blade, this magic tool used to ward off evil spirits and kill ghosts will also be contaminated with hostility if it kills ghosts. Whether it is a human or a ghost, what ends is only its conscious existence in the yang world or the underworld. Or kill.Zha Wenbin is a person who is unwilling to kill. He pretends to be a righteous man and kills ghosts without asking why. He thinks that it is no different from a butcher.

Taoist people always put morality above all else. Practicing Taoism is not for the purpose of subjugating demons, and learning the five elements and eight trigrams is not for Fengshui divination. These things were originally established to allow people to understand the world and understand their own hearts. .Through these understandings, man and nature can be integrated together in a seamless way, and the application of Taoism can be improved to a higher level.In the final analysis, being a Taoist priest is not to practice the Tao, but to cultivate the Tao. To practice the Tao, you must first cultivate virtue.

He patted his saber lightly and said: "Be quiet for a while, ghosts and wild ghosts."

It's no wonder that I stared at it like this after taking someone else's treasure, but the chilly feeling behind my back was indeed not very pleasant.A new ghost can't do anything to him, he can be beaten forever with anything he takes out.

It will be fine when the light comes out, Zha Wenbin thought in his heart.

"Gululu" screamed wildly in his stomach, "The raw water just now must have been drunk." Cha Wenbin said while clutching his stomach.

There was a big rock not far away, and Cha Wenbin thought about touching it there to solve it. Although the Taoists were away, they had to pay attention to staying away from water sources.I dug a small hole with my hands and made it convenient on the spot. After a while, I really ate badly. I squatted down and felt that my body was getting worse and worse. Diarrhea in the wild is not a good sign. A simple problem can make people collapse quickly.

He has some pills in his bosom, these are made according to the local folk recipes, usually when someone is sick and asks him to exorcise evil spirits, if that person is really sick, Cha Wenbin will give some of the medicine he made to the visitor.If the family is rich, the sick would have been sent to the doctor long ago. These days, how many people would think about finding a Taoist priest. There are two kinds of people who really seek a Taoist priest: one is for long-term cure, and the symptoms of evil spirits are obvious; the other is for the poor. Unable to uncover the pot, the dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, hoping that the fairy water can save people and cure diseases.

In rural areas, most of the people who went to Zha Wenbin for physical reasons were the latter. At that time, no medical insurance was popularized, and a minor illness could cover the whole family’s food rations for a year. Go inside the hospital.Because of these, Cha Wenbin always prepares some Chinese herbal medicines and earthen prescriptions. Among them, this small pill made of chicken gizzard skin, tea leaves and incense ash is really effective in treating diarrhea.

After taking two pills, he was about to get up and continue on his way, when he raised his head inadvertently, a glimmer of light flashed in the darkness in the distance.A very faint flash of light, but it did not escape his eyes.It was a crack between the rocks, but for the light, he really wouldn't have noticed it.

The gap was more than one meter high from the ground, and there were several large stones placed underneath it in the shape of steps. The gap was more than half a meter wide and about forty centimeters high, barely enough for a person to get in.Holding the Huozhezi climbing steps and looking in, the depth is about two meters. The ground is covered with hay and a few stones are scattered inside. On the ground is a khaki Chinese tunic suit that was popular in the 80s of last century. The reflection is from the top of the tunic Issued by a badge.

I took off the brooch and saw that the material used to make things was really good enough, without any rust, and there were a few big gilt characters printed on the bottom of a layer of transparent plastic: The Second Institute of Archeology.

Zha Wenbin has seen this thing before. In Chaozi’s house, Mr. He once had such a brooch in his study; Everyone wears such a brooch, which is the work card of the Provincial Institute of Archeology!

How could this thing be here?Picking up the dress, Zha Wenbin checked it, it was very worn, and when he continued to probe in, he suddenly found that the walls on both sides of the gap were covered with white stone lines.What surprised him even more was that he actually found an iron jar containing some kind of ointment. The second son of "archaeology" is very recognizable.

There are a few black stones and a handful of hay beside the pot. This kind of stone is called "fire salt" stone in our local area. When two stones collide with each other, sparks can be rubbed out. I played with it when I was a child.There are also many kinds of stone-polished utensils, some of which are as sharp as daggers.

The chilly feeling behind him was still there, and there was a tendency to get closer. Cha Wenbin backed out of the gap and looked back: Isn't this the place where the dead body lived?
