Liu Shiba closed his mouth, lit a cigarette, meditated silently for a few minutes, turned around and asked:
"How did this corpse turn into a spirit body? Can you explain to me?"
"This question is very simple. Do you know that in Chinese medicine, there is something called Tai Sui?"
Cao Xiong smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"Taisui? I know a little bit about this, but I've never seen it."
Liu Shiba glanced at Cao Xiong doubtfully, and his heart moved.
"Tai Sui was discovered in ancient times, also known as Ganoderma lucidum. The main ingredient in the legendary elixir of life is Tai Sui.
Ge Hong, the legendary Taoist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recorded a little in the book Baopuzi that grinding Zhuzhi into powder or turning it into water can make people lighten their bodies and live forever.
Ordinary people actually know that there are two types of Tai Sui, namely earth Tai Sui and stone Tai Sui. Stone Tai Sui is produced in the mountains; earth Tai Sui is produced in the earth."
Cao Xiong squinted his eyes, looked out the window and spoke slowly, as if he was lost in memories.
Hearing this, Liu Shiba's heart moved and he asked strangely:
"Old Cao, don't say anything I don't understand. Just say you know the other types of Tai Sui, right? What does this have to do with this male corpse?"
The beard on Cao Xiong's chin curled up, he grinned, and said with a wry smile:
"Besides those two types, there are actually water Tai Sui and Wood Tai Sui, which are produced in deep sea swamps and volcanic magma respectively."
After saying this, Cao Xiong frowned slightly, raised his arm, stretched out a finger, pointed at the male corpse in the coffin, and said solemnly:
"And he is the only fifth kind of Tai Sui in the world, Tai Sui in human form."
"Humanoid Tai Sui?"
Liu Shiba gasped, his lips were burnt and his mouth was dry.
Then Liu Shiba laughed strangely, patted Cao Xiong on the shoulder, and said happily:
"Old Cao, just pretend for me, I don't believe Tai Sui can grow like this, he looks like a living person."
Cao Xiong blew his beard and stared, slapped Liu Shiba's hand away and said angrily:
"Are you panicking? Can't you wait until the old man finishes speaking?"
Liu Shiba turned his head to look at the male corpse in the coffin and nodded:
"Then you say."
Cao Xiong cleared his mind and continued:
"Actually, the fifth human form, Tai Sui, does not grow naturally, but is cultivated by the ancients using the method of raising corpses.
If this kind of acquired spirit becomes a spirit and awakens its mind, it is called an acquired spiritual body."
"Oh? You know a lot, old man? Can you tell me about the ancient method of raising corpses? How did you raise this humanoid Tai Sui?"
Liu Shiba asked curiously, but there was a faint fear in his eyes.
Cao Xiong was silent for a while, then explained calmly:
"The human form Tai Sui formed by raising a corpse must be a complete and disease-free boy, and it must not be older than fifteen years old."
"Are you kidding me? How could a perfectly healthy person make you a humanoid Tai Sui?"
Liu Shiba smiled disdainfully.
Cao Xiong turned his head to look at Liu Shiba gloomily, and said softly:
"For example, the kind that is artificially drowned in a water tank, or suffocated to death."
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and then he calmed down.
After thinking about it, he also understood that in ancient times, this kind of killing and eating meat was completely normal.
"Then what?"
Liu Shiba asked calmly.
"Then the corpse was washed and dried. While the three souls and six souls were still in the body, a fist-sized Shi Taisui was stuffed through the anus of the corpse. Finally, it was put into the coffin and buried deep in the ground."
Cao Xiong's expression at this time was a bit ferocious, and Liu Shiba was a little frightened by his gloomy look.
"Lao, Lao Cao! I'll tell you later, I'm going to pee..."
After Liu Shiba finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the bathroom.
After running into the bathroom and closing the door, Liu Shiba took a deep breath, then took out his penis and peed into the toilet.
"Wow... Wow"
The door to the bathroom was closed, and the light was not turned on. It was dark inside. As he peed, Liu Shiba felt a chill on his back, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
This feeling was very strange. He didn't dare to look back, as if there was something secretly staring at him in the darkness behind him.
For a moment, Liu Shiba felt that his heartbeat was several times faster than usual, his mouth was dry, he couldn't help but shuddered a few times, and dropped a few drops of urine on the ground.
Cao Xiong stared at Liu Shiba, who came out of the bathroom with a pale face, and asked strangely:
"Eighteen, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Are you looking bad?"
Liu Shiba waved his hand, wiped off the cold sweat, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm fine, Lao Cao, please continue talking."
Cao Xiong glanced at Liu Shiba in confusion, nodded and continued:
"A corpse buried deep underground will not rot in a short period of time due to the sealing of the coffin and other conditions.
So Shi Taisui, who was inserted through the anus, absorbed nutrients from the corpse's internal organs and survived for a long time.
Some coffins are buried in places where Feng Shui dragon veins or treasure places are chosen, so it is more convenient for Tai Sui to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so this kind of human form Tai Sui is formed."
"Humanoid Tai Sui?"
Liu Shiba chewed on these four words that made his hair stand on end and looked at Cao Xiong again.
Seeing Liu Shiba staring at him, Cao Xiong coughed dryly and said:
"The human form of Tai Sui is actually the legendary acquired spirit body. After thousands or even ten thousand years of nourishment by the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the skin of the corpse is already covered with Tai Sui.
Strictly speaking, the humanoid Tai Sui is no longer the dead body, but another creature that can generate its own consciousness by chance.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, some powerful monsters or sages with great wisdom are often mentioned. In fact, they are the products of this kind of human form transformed into refined humans after Tai Sui."
After hearing this, Liu Shiba finally understood what kind of thing the two of them had dug out last night.
This is a huge treasure, perhaps unique in the world...
No wonder Cao Xiong, an old guy, is so excited that he won five million yuan?
But what is the use of this humanoid Tai Sui?
Regardless of whether he becomes a spirit or not, do you still have to raise him by yourself? What use is this thing to you?
Cao Xiong seemed to understand Liu Shiba's doubts. He picked up the cold drink on the coffee table and drank it in one gulp, and said proudly:
"Eighteen, we will make a fortune."
"Tell me clearly? What's the use of this thing? How can I make a fortune?"
Liu Shiba curled his lips.
Cao Xiong smiled sinisterly, stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Liu Shiba's eyes, and chuckled:
"The humanoid Tai Sui, let's make it 50-50, and I'll tell you what wonderful uses this thing has."
Liu Shiba's face was expressionless, but his body shook and his whole body tightened inexplicably.
I don’t know why, but at that moment, Liu Shiba felt a trace of murderous intent from Cao Xiong?
Could it be that the humanoid Tai Sui is so valuable that this old guy, who is about to die, has the murderous intention to kill people and seize treasures?
Sure enough, this is the way the world is. Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads, but no corpses.
Liu Shiba suddenly smiled and shouted sweetly:
"Uncle Cao, what you said is right. What's more than 50-50 is different. What's mine is yours, right?"
Cao Xiong shook his head and said with a ferocious smile:
"Boy, there is another sentence at the end: everything you have is mine..."
