Chapter 14 The Scary Corpse in the Forest (4)

The short one reprimanded the fool and the others, and was reprimanded by the tall Taoist in turn. He immediately looked timid and said, "Senior brother, what should I do then!"

The tall man immediately said: "Help me, press the coffin board, bring the coffin nails, put eighteen nails on it! Immediately nail the coffin to death, sprinkle cinnabar on it, and hang the gossip mirror for me, quick, quick!" This tall and short Taoist priest brought a group of little Taoist priests to earn money for nothing, and he was quite capable. When he said this, the little Taoist priests under him also started to move quickly.

The remaining few bold middle-aged villagers swarmed down the vibrating coffin board, and the movement of the coffin board was immediately suppressed, but the doctor was watching from the side, and he could clearly see that the seam, the One hand is still outstretched.

That hand was black and blue, with signs of decay, obviously not a living hand, but at this moment, it kept stretching out, trying to crawl out.

At that time, the doctor was completely dumbfounded. The rest of the cowards and those with taboo attributes had already dispersed and did not dare to watch. However, the doctor stood where he was because of the huge shock.

At this moment, he thought a lot in his mind.

He thought; could it be a suspended animation?The people inside are still alive?Should I go to the rescue?There are many cases of suspended animation in medicine. In ancient times, as long as a person lost his breathing and heartbeat, he would be judged as dead. In modern times, as long as the brain is not dead, even if the patient temporarily has no heartbeat and breathing, there is a chance to be rescued. of.

However, the corpse had obviously been at rest for many days, even if it was a fake death, it should have turned into a real death.

Are there really ghosts in this world?
But soon, the doctor threw these thoughts out of his mind. He is a person with a relatively firm mind, and a little bit of strangeness is definitely not enough to shake his heart.

After a while, the coffin was locked. After sealing the coffin, the Taoist took cinnabar and sprinkled it on the top of the coffin.

It's strange to say that after such a scatter, there was no movement in the coffin.

When the doctor said this, his expression was extremely calm, and while he was speaking, he was observing the surrounding environment, probably to be wary of that dark shadow.

When I heard this, I couldn't help gasping for air, and said: "If you say it like this, it seems that the ancient theory of gods and ghosts is not groundless."

He said: "I was also shocked at the time. Science and the theory of ghosts and gods are always in opposite directions. If the theory of ghosts and gods really exists, then modern medicine will also be questioned. So after the things in the coffin were suppressed, I deliberately I consulted those Taoist priests."

I said, "What do you ask them to teach?"

The doctor said: "I asked them the principle of shocking the corpse, and the principle of subduing the corpse change."

I became interested and asked, "What did they say?"

The doctor smiled, and the moles at the corners of his eyes moved accordingly, always making people's eyes drawn to him, often forgetting his appearance.

"They say that cats belong to yin and can communicate with ghosts and gods; when a person dies for less than seven days, the soul leaves the body but the soul does not leave the body. Cats jump over the corpse, and if they startle the soul in the corpse, they will cheat the corpse; the longer the corpse is left, the harm of cheating the corpse The smaller it is, but if the corpse is startled right after the corpse is laid to rest, the corpse will change drastically; and they only used two things to subdue the corpse in the coffin, one is coffin nails; the other is cinnabar; "

"The material of the coffin nails has always been peach wood, which can ward off evil spirits, and eighteen is the number for exterminating demons; cinnabar has the effect of calming the nerves and strengthening the soul, and is the most common thing in Taoist talismans to ward off evil spirits. Putting these two things together can put the corpse The disturbed 'po' is appeased."

I was dumbfounded when I heard it, and when I thought of those hands in the mudslide, my scalp felt numb, and I said, "But, we don't have peachwood coffin nails, and we don't have cinnabar. We're here, so what should we do?"

The doctor coughed twice, and did not answer my question, but continued on his own: "Later, I went back to the city and asked my former supervisor, who just happened to have done research in this area, so he gave I have a different answer."

My curiosity was completely lifted, and I said, "What answer?"

The doctor said: "The earth is a large magnetic field. All living things and non-living things living in it have their own magnetism or magnetic field. After a period of time after a person dies, the magnetic field and bioelectricity of the human body have not completely disappeared, while cats The magnetic field of this kind of animal can interact with the magnetic field of human beings, so when a cat approaches a dead person, if the magnetic field of the dead person has not disappeared completely, the muscle tissue of the body will react. Because the muscles and meridians of the corpse are all It is stiff, so even if one of the muscles reacts, it can move the whole body."

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said, "When you say that, I really don't think it's scary anymore. But why can cinnabar and coffin nails make the corpse quiet?"

"It is not the coffin nails that really quiet the corpse, but the cinnabar. The cinnabar itself does have the effect of calming the nerves. In modern terms, it can stabilize the magnetic field of the human body. As for peach wood, some of its ingredients are similar to cinnabar. , but the effect is not comparable to cinnabar, so in that incident, it was actually cinnabar that really worked."

After a pause, the doctor said again: "So, if that black shadow is really the driver, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"If it's really the driver who cheated the body, and he's coming to kill us, what should we do?"

The doctor paused, narrowed his eyes, and said, "As I said just now, the corpse is stiff, and it can move by the pull of muscles. As long as this structure is destroyed, it will not be able to move. "

Destroy the structure of the muscles?I vaguely understood what he meant, and suddenly felt my scalp go numb, and said in a low voice, "You, you mean... cut in half?"

The doctor nodded, quickened his pace, and said, "Let's go quickly."

The driver was already headless, but the doctor was already thinking about cutting it in half again. I immediately felt that a doctor is really the most psychologically powerful profession in the world.

You said that the other party looks about the same age as me, and looks fair and tender, but why does he look so much better than me?
I couldn't help but said, "Dude, how old are you? I'm 26."

He said, "I'm 27."

I said, "Which hospital do you work in?"

He said: "Peking University."

"Fuck, bull! Grade A! I have been working for more than four years, and I am still working in a small company. How long have you been working?"

"For more than a year, we usually study medicine with a combination of undergraduate and master's degree, or a combination of undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree, which is divided into five years, seven years and eight years, so I don't work for a long time."

I said, "You have only been in college for eight years, no wonder you are so poor."

"..." The doctor paused, turned his head to look at me silently, pursed the corner of his mouth, and immediately walked away from me quickly.

I realized that I had said something wrong, so I quickly followed up and apologized: "Look at my mouth, I was wrong, I was wrong, how do you say something? Don't bully young people and poor people! If you work for two more years, you will definitely get better. But... you are so poor, you must not have a girlfriend now, right?"

After finishing speaking, I wanted to slap myself: Xu Kaiyang, Xu Kaiyang, why can't you control your stinky mouth!
Sure enough, not only did the doctor not accept my apology, but his complexion became even darker. From then on, he didn't say a word to me, and went back to the big rock where we stayed, ignoring me.

When they arrived at the place, a group of people lit firewood, used a cleaned concave stone as a pot, and simmered a pot of mushroom and shrimp soup. Some wild spices collected by the doctor were put in the soup, and the taste was surprisingly good. We The five of them ate so loudly that there was not even a soup base left, and each of them had a round belly after drinking it.
