Chapter 843: Animal Creation
Make livestock!
The moment I heard these two words, I was stunned.
This is an evil art that can turn people into animals, and it is mentioned in the Tales of Zhai Zhi.
There are also people who become animals, called making animals, this technique is still rare in the north of the river, and there are many in the south of the river.
However, in the records of books, in ancient China, most of the folk juggling and begging people used the art of animal making. In ancient times, unlike now, there were more ways of entertainment, and there were fewer ways of entertainment in ancient times, and they liked to watch dramas and jugglers.
At that time, many people appeared on the streets with some strange animals, such as large birds with human heads. The body of the big bird was a bird's body, but it was a human head, and the jugglers on the street said that it was the 鴸 (zhu) recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
There was also a monster with a snake body and a human head, which those people said was a big snake that was going to cross the catastrophe, and they caught it, and abolished the cultivation, so it became like that.
At that time, there were many of these things circulating on the streets, and the people didn't know what they were, they thought they were animals in mythological stories they had heard! In fact, those things are all man-made humans and animals who can do evil magic.
But those are just low-level means, merging people and animals, making people half-truths and half-truths in order to achieve their own profit-seeking goals. Some are powerful and can directly turn people into animals. Of course, I don't know the specifics, because this is an evil art, which basically rarely appears in our field of vision, even in reality, and most of them are only shown in stories.
After the old man said these two words, he continued: "Yes, it is to create animals, and it is said that it is a means to make people into animals!" I couldn't sleep for days when I heard this story. ”
Looking at the old man, Wu and I didn't talk, just waiting for him to tell this story about making animals.
On the contrary, Wu Fatzi saw that the old man was a little slow, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Old man, what kind of story?" Don't whet my appetite. ”
After taking two more puffs of cigarette, the old man sighed deeply and said, "It is said that a long time ago, a very beautiful girl was born in a village, and that girl has always been the object of coveted by young people in several villages. At that time, the richest person in Shili and Eight Townships was a man surnamed Zhou, whose father moved from other places, and said that he was a big family in the city. He confidently went to the girl's house to propose his relatives three times, but the girl refused, and the reason given was that the person surnamed Zhou was very ugly. ”
In the end, the girl married a poor neighbor next to the family surnamed Zhou, the poor neighbor's family was poor, and her parents were starving to death, but she was handsome and very good to the girl. This makes the surname Zhou so popular, every day when I go out, I see the little couple loving and loving, but there is no way. ”
"I gave birth to a child in the second year of my marriage, and I thought that life would slowly get better. Who knew that the next year, there was a famine in the village, and the poor neighbor and his wife were so hungry that they couldn't open the pot, so he went to the neighbor surnamed Zhou to borrow food. The man surnamed Zhou has a lot of food at home, and he is willing to help others, but he must be rewarded by others. Some returned some valuable things at home, and some came to him as free workers. ”
Seeing the poor neighbor come to borrow something, the person surnamed Zhou thought that he had finally found a way to take revenge on the poor neighbor! So he said to the poor neighbor, "I can lend you food, and I can guarantee that your whole family will not starve, but ask the poor neighbor how to repay him." ”
At that time, the poor neighbor didn't even think about it, and directly said that as long as the people surnamed Zhou kept their families from starving, they were willing to be cattle and horses for the people surnamed Zhou. This made the person surnamed Zhou very happy, and immediately lent the food to the poor neighbor, and asked the poor neighbor to come to his house three days later to fulfill his promise. ”
After taking the grain back, the poor neighbor thought that at most he would only go to the family surnamed Zhou to work as a servant, and three days later, he said goodbye to his wife and children and went to the family surnamed Zhou. After that, the poor neighbor never appeared again, the poor neighbor's wife went to the family surnamed Zhou to look for it, the person surnamed Zhou said that he just made a joke with the poor neighbor, the two grew up together, how could he repay himself, the poor neighbor just went to his house to chat for a while and then went back. ”
For a period of time afterward, the man surnamed Zhou saw that the poor neighbor's wife had been looking for the poor neighbor, so he took the initiative to look for her and gave her a lot of help and care. Slowly, the two get closer and closer on their journey to find their poor neighbors, and they get to know each other on a deeper level. The poor neighbor's wife saw that the person surnamed Zhou was very good to her in addition to being ugly, so she also had a little meaning for her, and the two came together because they couldn't find the poor neighbor. ”
After that, the person surnamed Zhou brought a white horse, saying that he bought it, and he could pull them around to play in the future. When the horse was pulled out, she barked and cried when she saw the poor neighbor's wife, but the poor neighbor's wife didn't understand it, she just thought that the horse was a little spiritual. ”
After that, the people surnamed Zhou came together with the wife of the poor neighbor, they forgot about the poor neighbor and lived a simple and happy life! And the white horse, in addition to washing his face with tears every day, starved to death not long after. The people surnamed Zhou didn't eat the white horse, and buried the white horse in the soil. ”
This was seen by another person at the time, in those days, people couldn't even eat! Seeing such a big horse buried, it's greedy to think about! So the man went that night and dug up the grave of the white horse, and tried to eat the horse's flesh. But after digging up, he was dumbfounded, it was a horse that was buried in it, but what was dug out was a person, and that person was still a poor neighbor of the surname Zhou, and that person was so frightened that he went to the yamen to report to the official. ”
Later, the people of the Yamen arrested the person surnamed Zhou, and after some interrogation, the surname Zhou explained the process of making animals. The man surnamed Zhou said that the white horse was actually a human animal made by the poor neighbor himself, because the poor neighbor promised to use it as a cow and a horse for himself, so he really made the poor neighbor into a horse. ”
After saying this, the old man's expression relaxed a little!
He sighed and said, "Later, I was worried about whether these animals in my family would be a relative of my family, and I also deliberately observed them for a while, and I didn't dare to eat meat for a long time. ”
Hearing this, I nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Old man, you mean that Mr. Yin and Yang told you the story of making animals when you went to chat with him about the mountain monster, right?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it was told at that time, and I don't know why he told me such a story." After listening to it, I didn't ask any more questions, I just thought that this story of making animals was too terrifying. ”
I hummed and didn't ask any more, but I already had some eyebrows in my heart.
I seem to know how the giant rat came to be, and why the giant rat has no spiritual remains......
