Chapter 221 The mystery of Sai Xishi’s life experience
"Xiang Yunfeng! I knew you were eavesdropping at the door!"
I ignored Sai Xishi's rolling eyes and said loudly to the old man: "Sir, as the saying goes, you always think about your own mistakes when you sit quietly, and don't talk about others' faults in small talk! Don't expose others' faults behind their backs! You can't slander me indiscriminately! I'm a good person! "
"Ha ha!"
"Young man, if you are a good person, then there will be no bad people in the world. I am not slandering you, I am just stating the facts."
"Girl, please go out first. I will have a few words with the young man alone."
As soon as the person left, I immediately complained: "I spent a lot of money to find her for you all night long. It's good for you to sing a tune with her all night. What's your relationship with her? I saw you gave her a gold bracelet." .”
He smiled and said: "To chase a girl, you have to be willing to spend money first. What does it mean if I give you a gold bracelet? Instead, why are you hiding in the window and peeking? Do you want to watch an old cow licking young grass? Boy, you have evil intentions." "
I didn't even blush, so I defended myself: "I didn't peek! I was afraid that you were getting older! If you were not careful, you would get winded immediately!"
"Besides, you said it's normal? It's normal. How come your gold bracelet is exactly the same as the one on the hand of a corpse I saw underwater."
"You...what did you say??"
"Where have you seen a bracelet like this before?"
"In the lake! I saw it on the wrist of a female corpse!"
His expression changed instantly, and he stood up so fast that his chair fell over.
"Speak clearly! What's going on? It's a female corpse!"
I spent a few minutes telling the story of how I found the old lady’s body underwater.
He immediately asked me: "What does that female corpse look like? What does that house look like underwater!"
"Don't get excited, sir, please sit down and listen to me."
"I can't describe the appearance of the female corpse... Her face was soaked, and her body felt like she had been breathed out. It was really scary. The body was probably less than 1.6 meters tall. She should have been wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket. The visibility under water at that time was very poor. It was very low. I only remember a small courtyard with a green brick screen wall in the middle and hollow flower carvings on the windows."
He said excitedly: "Xiaolan...you should be talking about Xiaolan..."
"Xiaolan is her grandmother? Could it be that she is your granddaughter??"
"You kid, don't make blind guesses. It doesn't matter what the relationship between me and that girl is. What's important is why Xiaolan's body is still there? It's been more than sixty years!"
I asked Sai Xishi if she was her granddaughter, and he gave an ambiguous answer, neither saying yes nor no, and asked me not to make wild guesses.
As far as I know, Sai Xishi’s ancestral home is under Qiandao Lake. Since she had no relatives, she went to settle in Zhuji when she was very young. This woman with a bright appearance was not born well. According to Sai Xishi’s previous experience According to the oral analysis, the female corpse should be one of her relatives.
I moved to Mazar and sat down and said, "Sir, you don't understand. If a corpse is soaked in water for a long time, the body surface will saponify, making the skin white and smooth like soap. Then in a few years, it will become a wet wax corpse." The water temperature in that area is very low, there are no fish, and the water is very deep with no sunlight, so people become like that over time."
"We are divided into the southern sect and the northern sect. If the southern sect sees a wet corpse like this in the water, it will be tied up with a rope."
"This kind of saponified wet corpse cannot see air or sunlight, otherwise it will rot very quickly. The best way is to sink it to the bottom of the lake and not move."
He frowned and asked me, "Does that girl know about this?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, I didn't tell her."
After hesitating for a few seconds, he said: "Don't tell her yet, the bracelet you just saw is not just one pair. Back then, I made a small fortune helping people watch ships, so I found someone to make seven pairs of gold bracelets like this and gave them to each one. After giving six good friends, I still have one pair left, the one you just saw."
"You...were you so fierce back then? You had six old sweethearts?"
He smiled bitterly: "I have told you that I was nicknamed Chun'an Xiaobai Juyi back then. Do you think I am bragging? In fact, there are more than six. Strictly speaking, there are more than thirty. Only
.
It was at that time that I was closer to those six women, including Xiaolan."
"I met this girl from a distance before. At that time, I thought her profile looked a lot like Xiaolan. Today I saw her in person and chatted with her, and I finally cleared up my doubts."
"Then how do you know her master?" I asked again.
He looked at me and glared: "Are you done with this? Asking questions, what good will it do to you to know this? Do you want me to tell you my mother's name?"
"Xiaolan's real name is Fang Guilan." He looked up and recalled: "There was a big flood in June 1942. Several cargoes I was responsible for in Xuekou Store were washed away by the flood. I was afraid that the chief helmsman would come to settle the score with me. I took refuge in Daxian Lane behind the Confucius Temple, where I met Xiaolan, who was probably older than me at the time."
"In August of the same year, there was another plague in Chun'an. I almost died. It was Xiaolan who snatched me back from the hands of the Lord of Hell with a sip of water and a sip of medicine. By October, I was able to walk underground, but unexpectedly the Japanese soldiers started again. There were indiscriminate bombings. At that time, many incendiary bombs fell from the sky, the air raid sirens kept ringing, and there was a sea of fire everywhere. Xiaolan and I hid in the air-raid shelter in order to survive. Alas... Now I close my eyes and think back to these things. It’s like what happened yesterday.”
"When the flood came out in 1959, Xiaolan didn't run away. Instead, she ran away and went back. In order to get back the ten dollars from her wardrobe, in the blink of an eye, the water came down and the house collapsed."
"There are many people in her situation. I have heard about sixty or seventy of them, and there are even more who I don't know. Tell me where she is in Hushi."
"In the Zhongxing Lake area, there is a stone island next to it. Forget it, Sir, your body can't bear the torment. The water in that area is very deep and very cold. We can't bear it even with our diving suits and air bottles."
He nodded and asked me again: "Why did you go to the lake? Is it to fish for antiques?"
I said yes and asked him to keep his voice down so that no one could hear him.
"What are you afraid of? There is no one else here but you."
"Young people are smart. You, a northerner, have discovered the business opportunities in our south. Many people don't know that there are many antiques in the lake, Tongqiao Iron Well Xiaojinshan, Shixia Academy Huolongguan, Five Lions live at the gate of the city, and there are outstanding people. Looking at Chun'an, I have the impression that there are many temples in the north of the city, and there are hundreds or even thousands of antique Buddha statues enshrined in those temples. Unfortunately, they have all sunk into the water.
"You must have been here with us for a while. How have you gained?"
I smiled and said, "The harvest is average, just earn some hard money."
"Sneaky boy, you look like you are fishing for a lot of things. Let me remind you that you may have loosened your grip recently. In the past few years, the patrol team often caught people who stole and excavated the ruins of the ancient city. Those who were caught were sentenced to a minimum sentence of ten years."
"I'm not afraid. Those who were arrested are all wild men. I belong to the regular army. We always work according to the rules."
"By the way, sir, where is the man who tried to kill us just now? Why didn't you see him?"
"I've locked the chicken coop, don't worry about it, I'll find someone to deal with it."
This was the best, and it saved me trouble. I rubbed my hands and said, "I have satisfied your request. You see..."
He said angrily: "You kid is not willing to suffer any losses. I know you care about me and I have already prepared it for you."
After he finished speaking, he took out a thread-bound book from his arms and threw it to me.
The book is in the shape of a tube, and it looks like it was handwritten and ordered by me. It has been a few years old, and the six calligraphy characters "Secret Method of Turtle Breathing in Jianghu" are clearly written on the yellowed cover.
This was what I wanted, so I took it immediately.
He said to me: "This handwriting was given to me by my master back then. I will give it to you. All the steps are recorded in detail in the book. You can just practice according to them. Whether you can learn it depends on your talent and high understanding." One and a half years is enough. If you have poor understanding, you may not be able to learn it in ten or eight years."
"Besides, I'm reminding you of three things."
"The first is the basic condition. You should smoke less, quit drinking, and exercise more. You should adapt to the reverse breathing method. When sleeping, seal one nostril and keep the other."
"Second, it's best to have someone watching you when practicing. If you notice
.
If you are conscious but unable to move, you can have someone pour cold water on your head or pinch you."
"Third, and most importantly, this method was generally used to escape from enemies. It is a cicada's method of escaping from its shell. It cannot be used until a critical moment, because once the cicada fails to escape from its shell, it will suffocate to death in its shell. You must remember."
I cupped my fists to express my gratitude, and said that the promised 100,000 yuan would be delivered tomorrow.
He waved his hand: "The money is free. Please take the time to bring me Xiaolan's bracelet. Besides, I don't have a few more years to live. I hope you can take care of that girl for me in the future."
"No problem," I ran to the window and took a look. I made sure that Sai Xishi was not there before I dared to ask: "Sir, please tell me, is she your granddaughter?"
In the darkness, the old man struck a match and lit a cigarette.
The firelight that suddenly lit up clearly illuminated the deep wrinkles on his face, and it took a long time for him to say two words.
"no."
.....
This time I came to Dayuan Village and gained a lot. Not only did I gain a basic understanding of some of the people and forces at Xue Hangkou Pier back then, but I also unexpectedly got a secret book.
There were many such handwritten "secret books" in the old society, but it's hard to find them now. The old Gu King's secret book on the art of harvesting yin and replenishing yang in the room is also of this type, and can be collectively called "the secret art of the world." This The contents of such books are mixed with truth and falsehood, so you must learn to distinguish them yourself.
The book written by the old Gu King is not the so-called orthodox dual cultivation technique of Taoism, but the extremely evil cauldron technique inherited from the folk.
In that book, a man can stay young by harvesting a woman's Yuan Yin to replenish his own Yuan Yang. According to the description in the book, the effect is very fast. A healthy woman will die about four years after being harvested. , that’s why Ma Fengfeng’s face looked so ugly at that time, as if she had a serious illness, so the old Gu King still looked energetic even though he was over seventy years old, with a head of black hair.
The ancients have been pursuing the so-called immortality for thousands of years. The old Gu King's evil harvesting skills must have been left behind by the ancients, not created by him.
I had read the ancient book of Old Gu King in its entirety, so I chose to burn it. Firstly, I really didn’t want to spread the word and harm others, and secondly, because the content recorded in the book was completely contrary to the Kung Fu I learned.
My sister-in-law and Dr. Song practice the secret method of Xiaojialan Temple, which is essentially a tonic method. It has many side effects. In addition to being unable to have children, they also have to take an expensive elixir all year round. Once the medicine is stopped, the consequences will be disastrous. .
In my opinion, men picking women, women picking men, and even the evil blue potion, are all evil ways that rely on external intervention.
Only Xie Qirong's path is the only orthodox one, which is to refine and transform Qi.
Only those who have practiced it can truly feel the subtle changes in their bodies.
For example, I used to find that my pants were often wet when I woke up in the morning. After practicing for two years, this situation became less and less.
Where did it go? It couldn't have evaporated out of thin air.
The answer is that I melted it down.
It turns into a kind of "qi" in the body. This kind of qi nourishes the internal organs, meridians and eight meridians, so I only sleep for two hours a day without feeling tired.
Another point that needs to be corrected is that it does not mean that you stop thinking about women after refining your qi, and that you lose that function.
It's not like that. My functions are normal. Sometimes I will react when I think of the Snake Girl, but relatively speaking, I usually don't think about it wildly.
There is an old saying in the past: "When you are full of energy, you don't think about desires; when you are full of energy, you don't think about reality; when you are full of spirit, you don't think about sleep." These three paragraphs apply very well to me.
With the sound of a chicken crowing in the village in the early morning, we drove away from Dayuan Village. Your master and I made an appointment to visit her when we had time. I can still learn a lot from him, an old southern bastard.
I was driving when we got back, Brother Yu was in the passenger seat, and Sai Xishi was in the back seat. Because her car was still parked at the pier, I had to send her there first.
Along the way, Brother Yu chatted happily with her and even exchanged phone numbers.
I looked at the reflector a little worried. I know Brother Yu. He looks serious, but in fact he is not serious at all. I know of the women who have had physical contact with him over the years, at least some.
.
Four or five, he is an out-and-out fake monk.
And Sai Xishi seemed to be interested in the tall and strong fake monk in front of her, so I started to worry about Achun.
