Chapter 31: Seven Poisonous Ghost Tongues
When I left Longjia Village three years ago, I didn't know where to go. I just felt that the world was so big and there was no place for me to stay. I walked aimlessly along the road at that time. When I was hungry, I found a restaurant to eat something. When I was tired, I slept in the wilderness. Later, I worked as a construction worker in the city and a security guard in the community. But three months later, I suddenly found a terrible abnormality on my body. There was a palm-sized pattern on my chest that looked like a tattoo.
The pattern was a human tongue, the color was blood red and glaring, very strange. I thought it was a prank played by other security guards while I was sleeping, and I washed it twice with detergent but the color didn't fade at all. I couldn't help but panic, and quickly took out the sister chapter of the Ghost Talisman Sutra to look for the answer, and I really found it.
The book records that this is a poisonous curse called "Seven Poisonous Ghost Tongue". Legend has it that there is an evil ghost in the world called "Seven Poisonous Evils" who specializes in casting poisonous curses to harm the world. The so-called seven poisons are "poisonous ears, poisonous eyes, poisonous nose, poisonous tongue, poisonous teeth, poisonous hair, and poisonous nails", and the ghost tongue is one of them.
The seven poisonous curses, as the names suggest, can cause auditory hallucinations in people with bad ears, and they will suffer from all kinds of weird and terrifying sounds throughout their lives. People with bad eyes can have hallucinations, and they will see dead ghosts all the time, and eventually they will be scared to death. The nose curse will cause people to smell all kinds of odors, and eventually they will choke to death. The ghost tongue curse is the most poisonous one. You must know that the mouth and tongue are connected to the heart. If you are hit by this curse, a ghost tongue will grow in your heart, slowly devouring your essence, blood and yang energy until seven years later, you will be sucked dry and go crazy and dig out your heart and die. I will not go into details about the last three types, each of which has its own poisonous features.
I was shocked when I found out this result. How could I be cursed for no reason? I searched carefully again and finally found the reason. The book said that anyone who formed a demon corpse would be fed with the "Seven Poisonous Evils" by the corpse qi. So, after we opened the coffin lid and touched the old Zongzi, everyone was inevitably cursed, but the curses on each person might be different. The old blind man and Lei Xueting died quickly, which was a good thing for them.
After searching for a long time in the book, I finally found the solution to the curse, but I found that the other six of the seven poisonous curses were easy to deal with, but the ghost tongue was the most difficult to solve. Because the ghost tongue is invisible and intangible, it takes root in the heart, which is very different from ghost possession. It cannot be seen or touched, and current medical equipment cannot find any problems at all. No matter what rituals are used, it cannot be driven away, unless the heart is dug out, and then it will be over.
But it is not hopeless. The one who tied the bell must be the one who untied it. You just need to catch the seven poisonous ghosts and force them to take back their curses, or dig out the heart of the demon corpse and swallow it, and the ghost tongue poison curse will be lifted. But the difficulty lies in that even if you subdue the demon corpse, you may not be able to catch the seven poisonous ghosts. Even if you catch the seven poisonous ghosts, they may not help you take back the poisonous curse. This kind of evil ghost is cruel and vicious, and generally cannot be subdued by people. If you are caught, you will immediately release poison to disperse your soul, let you be hit by all seven poisonous curses, and then scatter your soul and die with you.
Although it died and still had a corpse , the corpse and soul had already merged into one, and they were interdependent. The soul was there and the body was there, and when the soul died, the body would decay. The moment it dispersed its soul, the corpse would also decay instantly, and no one would be able to get the heart of the Zongzi. In the supplementary book, there is a way to keep the corpse from decaying when the seven poisonous evil spirits dispersed their souls, but the success rate is very low, less than 10%. However, I am not interested in the heart of the corpse at all, because it has no heart!
After much deliberation, I realized that in order to survive, I had no choice but to work on the Seven Poisonous Evils. I was going to die anyway, so if I didn't try, I would have no chance of survival. I drew various yellow talismans to deal with the demon corpses, brought diving equipment back to Longjia Village, and escaped waterway. I had made up my mind to die if I failed, but unexpectedly, in the stone tower submerged by the river, I saw a demon corpse skeleton that had turned into dry bones.
This means that the Seven Poisonous Evils had already died. I was so depressed, and I couldn't figure it out. I only tied it with a red rope, and that thing could break free immediately after it woke up. Why did it die? I looked at the skeleton carefully for a long time and finally found the reason. There were obvious puncture marks on the skull of the demon corpse. Judging from the wound, it should be an iron tool such as a mason's awl. There were also jujube pits and mirrors on the ground, which were things used to deal with zombies.
I then understood that someone had come in after us, killed the Seven Poisonous Demons, and then left. Who could this person be? I guess it was Chen Dahong. It is estimated that after killing people and stealing treasures, he found that there was only one small golden monster and something was missing. Anyway, the iron cage mechanism was opened by me, and the missing things must be found, so he personally entered the ancient tomb to look for it. Regardless of whether it found what it wanted, it did kill the demon corpse.
This is really a stupid thing for a dog to meddle in other people's business. Who do you want me to find to break the ghost tongue curse?
After a while in the water, I suddenly thought that since Chen Dahong dared to touch the demon corpse, it meant that he had the means to break all kinds of curses. If I find him, I might have a chance to survive. Anyway, for the sake of my own life experience, I wanted to find him, and now I am more determined to do so.
After that, I hired someone to go back to Longjia Village to find out where Chen Dahong moved from. Because I didn't dare to show up in the village, the old blind man and I had been missing for so long, and we must have been suspected by many people. In order to avoid trouble, I could only investigate secretly. The result of the investigation was that no one in Longjia Village knew where Chen Dahong's hometown was, so this clue was broken. Besides, this clue might not be useful. After he killed someone, it was impossible for him to return to his hometown.
I didn't want to work and earn money anymore. I started from Longjia Village, the center, and searched for Chen Dahong in all directions. From then on, I learned how to surf the Internet, and asked someone to draw Chen Dahong's appearance and post it on the Internet for human flesh search. In the past three years, in addition to looking for Chen Dahong, I was also looking for Lin Yuxi, because she must have been cursed. No matter what kind of curse it was, if it was treated as an ordinary strange disease, it would kill a person within a year, like the ghost tooth curse.
While looking for someone, I frantically studied the Ghost Talisman Scripture and the supplementary book. Although it would not die until seven years later, the ghost tongue would constantly absorb my blood and energy during this period, and it would lose its ability to take care of itself after three years. God will not let down those who work hard. In less than a year, I had thoroughly understood these two books and figured out a way to temporarily deal with the ghost tongue.
In addition to being interested in human blood, the ghost tongue also likes to eat "ghost rice". The ghost rice I'm talking about is not the bait used for fishing. It is a kind of black rice grown in the corpse-raising ground deep in the barren mountains, which is specially used as bait to catch ghosts. Needless to say, the output is simply hard to come by. I met a friend who likes Taoism on the Internet. I pointed out a few difficult problems to him, and he helped me get some ghost rice.
I was pale and thin from being sucked by the ghost tongue this year, and I was weak all over, like a tuberculosis patient. After eating ghost rice, my body gradually recovered, because after feeding the ghost tongue with ghost rice, it temporarily spared the blood and energy in my body. But ghost rice was too difficult to buy, and the price was ridiculously expensive. In addition, I didn't work and had no income, so I soon spent all the 60,000 yuan and became a pauper.
Later, he was forced to set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes and look at feng shui. He did everything he could to make money, including helping people to keep vigil, summon spirits, and exorcise evil spirits. After making enough money and buying ghost rice, he went to the next stop to continue looking for Chen Dahong and Lin Yuxi.
Three years have passed in a flash, and there is still no news about Chen Dahong and Lin Yuxi. I began to become a little numb, and often asked myself, when will this hard search end? Three years have passed, and Lin Yuxi may have died long ago. If she is not dead, even if I find a way to remove the curse, there is basically no point in looking for her. And Chen Dahong, even if I find him, if he doesn't know how to break the ghost tongue curse, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?
