I remember my grandfather once told me that the fate of the corpse after death is more special, the first is the most common, buried in the ground and directly decomposed or taken to cremation.

The second is to become all kinds of corpses, such as zombies, living dead, ghosts, ghosts, etc., some of which are pure corpses, and some are a combination of ghosts and corpses formed by combining with ghosts. But in the general category, it can also be attributed to the concept of corpse.

The third type is different, and in a strict sense, it can no longer be regarded as a corpse, because it is a kind of consciousness formed by the combination of the corpse qi and the aura in nature after the corpse decomposes, and this kind of consciousness generally exists for a very short time, only a few seconds to a dozen seconds.

We usually call this kind of thing ghost fire, and the scientific explanation is that human bones contain phosphorus, which will combine with air under the action to form a flammable gas. And then it floats out of the grave, and the gas has a very low flammability point, so it can easily catch fire.

The process is usually very short, like a flash in the pan, but the color is blue and magnificent, very charming, and of course, it will reveal a lot of weirdness.

But this scientific explanation is not strongly corroborated.

My grandfather once told me that this gas is conscious, and their life form is to burn, and they live by burning themselves, which is why they seem to have a thin life.

And this qi is said to be a consciousness formed by the cultivation of cells in the body of the corpse after death. So it has gone beyond the boundaries of the corpse and has become a new individual. Hey! Speech! elder brother

Corpses and ghosts are both produced by the action of human souls and spirits, but this kind of consciousness is different, it is the consciousness of those cells on the corpse at the last moment of decay, which is a new consciousness.

Therefore, it is generally classified as a spirit, and thus also has a name - corpse spirit.

However, because it existed for a short time, as time became less and less recorded about it, it gradually faded out of people's sight, and even after these corpses were generated, they didn't know what they were, so they dissipated, and their existence was short, which made people feel sad for its life form.

Instead, people began to use the term "ghost fire" instead of its name. But I forgot that it was two completely different individuals at this time from when it was a human being.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "Wang Daochang, it's a corpse spirit!" ”

Wang Junhui was stunned for a moment and said, "Corpse spirit? ”

Judging from Wang Junhui's expression, although he was shocked, he seemed to have heard of corpse spirits.

Wang Junhui looked at the faint blue light for a while and couldn't help but be surprised: "I originally thought that corpse spirits were short-lived, but I didn't expect this guy in front of me to exist for such a long time." No wonder I don't know it, because my master hasn't even told me about the existence of a corpse spirit that has existed for so long! ”

I said next to me: "My grandfather didn't say it either, it seems that we have met an outlier that has not been recorded this time." ”

Hearing what we called it, the blue light flickered a few times and said, "You say I'm a corpse, is this the name of my species?" I'm not a human, I'm not a ghost, I'm not a corpse, I'm a corpse? ”

The voice of the blue light began to show a little excitement, and it seemed to be happy to know its category.

The blue light stood in the doorway of the headmaster's room again, and it stretched out its arm to look at itself. Then he repeated the two words: "Corpse spirit!" ”

After confirming the identity of this master, a stone in our hearts finally fell, and we thought it would be some kind of big monster against the sky, but it turned out to be a strange corpse spirit.

Once its identity is figured out, the mysteries here will be solved one by one.

The corpse spirit did not rush to do anything, but asked us again, "How do you know what I am, and you didn't lie to me?" ”

She asked this question, a little naïve, but I explained it to her very seriously.

After listening to my explanation, she said, "You mean, I still have my kind, but my kind is not as lucky as me, and they all dissipate shortly after they are created?" ”

At this time, half of the time has passed since the magic power of my yin and yang hands, but it is good to be able to solve this matter safely and not to fight, so I suppressed my emotions and continued: "That's right, as for why you have been able to exist for so long, it should be related to the special circumstances when you were born, what you experienced at that time, can you tell me about it, and also, don't you want Wang Mansheng and others to copy the process of your generation, so you should be very clear about the process of your generation, right?" ”

The blue light nodded and said, "Indeed, I remember very well the circumstances of my birth. ”

As she spoke, she sat down on the steps in front of the headmaster's office, and then continued: "I don't remember anything about my time as a human being, I know that I used to live as a human being, but I can't remember what I did. ”

I understand why the blue light said that, because at that time its consciousness was only its consciousness as a cell, and naturally it did not really have any memory.

The blue light paused for a moment and then continued: "Then I died, I was not buried, I was thrown into the back ravine, and then I had a feeling that the other me had left me, and the familiar dependence had left me. ”

The meaning of this sentence of the blue light should refer to the process of leaving the body of the soul that governs the body, and those cells will naturally lose their support without the support of the soul and spirit.

I thought so, and the blue light looked at me, and then suddenly said, "You seem to know me very well." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, it was able to understand what I was thinking, and its magical powers reminded me of the unfathomable talisman master, Xu Xuan.

"Then my body was torn apart by wild beasts, and they tore my skin and ate my entrails, and then I felt like I was starting to become lilt, and then gradually forming a vague shadow, and then my shadow began to burn, forming my current body. ”

Speaking of this, the blue light continued: "When I was formed, my whole body felt like it was going to disappear soon, but a fragrance wafted in, and my body that was about to be dissipated suddenly regained its aura, and then I continued to exist like this, and there was no sign of that dissipation. ”

Curious, I asked the source of the scent of the blue light, and it said, "In the mouth of my corpse, there is something that looks like a mushroom, and it seems to be a reishi mushroom. ”

Something grows out of the corpse's mouth?

I also heard my grandfather say that a fungus will grow on the corpse, commonly known as Afoetida, of course, this kind of medicinal material called Afoetul is not the kind of medicinal material Afoetidae produced in Xinjiang, China, but the legendary famous medicine that can bring the dead back to life - Afoetidade.

This kind of medicinal material is listed as a strange medicine with Tai Sui, and the price per gram is more than dozens of times that of gold, which can be said to be priceless!

If he met a rich person who needed this kind of medicinal materials, it would be tens of millions, and he would probably be happy to give the money.

Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart and said: "Your corpse actually grew that kind of thing against the sky, but Ah Wei only works for the living, why does it still have an effect on you, a corpse spirit with only a virtual body, and the smell of Ah Wei itself should not be fragrant, and it will even ......be a little stinky."

Thinking of this, I wondered if I had guessed wrong, could it be that the fungus growing out of the corpse's mouth was not Afoet, but something else?

The blue light shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but it smells fragrant, just like it does now, except that it has been avoiding me and refusing to see me." ”

Avoiding her? What does this mean? Could it be that the thing that grows in the corpse's mouth will not move? If that's the case, it's not a plant, it's an animal, right?

I was puzzled again, and hurriedly went to ask the blue light, and at this time, the time of my yin and yang hand had completely passed, and more than half of the phase qi on my body was consumed, but my yin and yang hand was just opened, and it basically had no effect.

Wang Junhui was still very sure, as if all this was in his expectation, and he also urged the corpse spirit to continue to talk about the matter, and told her that as long as the reason for the incident was explained, he could consider letting the corpse spirit go.

The corpse spirit looked at Wang Junhui and me, and suddenly smiled and continued: "I didn't lie to you, after that thing saved me, it suddenly grew two legs, jumped out of my corpse's mouth, and then disappeared into the north ravine with a smoke, I have looked for it many times but did not find it, but I can often smell the familiar smell on it." ”

I asked the corpse spirit again, "Are you sure you're seeing a plant, not an old one?" Something like that? ”

The corpse spirit said with certainty: "That's right, I'm sure, it's very similar to a mushroom, and it's a bit like a Ganoderma lucidum, but when it runs, it's a bit like a black ginseng, with two fungus tentacles, and it runs very fast." ”

Judging from the shape and growth position described by the corpse spirit, there is no doubt that it is a ferophyll, but why does it run?

Could it be that Afoeta has become a refinement? That's the only answer I can guess.

But it didn't take long for the corpse to rot from throwing it to the back mountain, and it might not take too long to grow A-Wei, but A-Wei would definitely not be able to cultivate into a refinement for one hundred and eighty years, right?

At this point, we seem to be stuck in a quagmire again.

But Wang Junhui suddenly said: "Maybe when I find the owner who emitted the fragrance, everything can be revealed." ”

After speaking, Wang Junhui said: "You don't remember who you are, that is, you don't know why you were thrown to the back mountain, what happened to Wang Mansheng and others, why they suddenly went crazy ten years ago, and why they disappeared for ten years, and why they came back here after ten years, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." ”

Speaking of this, the corpse spirit suddenly smiled "hehe", but the laughter didn't sound like she wanted to laugh at all, but it sounded like she was pronouncing the word "hehe", which sounded particularly weird.

I feel that we are infinitely close to the truth, and I even feel that my hexagram is wrong, and we don't need Cen Sixian to solve the matter completely tonight.

And the rabbit next to me seemed a little impatient, its small? Zi kept sniffing and sniffing, as if he couldn't wait to find the source of the fragrance.

It's really gluttonous!
