Yiqing continued to grin, with the corners of his mouth getting wider and wider. The skin on his face gradually became lighter and became more and more delicate. At the same time, his originally bony and shriveled chest slowly expanded, and double figures appeared. peak. After a while, the pig's eyes, dog's nose and sheep's mouth disappeared, replaced by dark eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and a small mouth, and even the buttocks became plump. Lying on the bed was an extremely beautiful woman…
She stood up, looked around, and then moved to Hansheng's bed. Under the cold moonlight, she carefully looked at Hansheng who was sleeping soundly.
After a long time, she lightly opened her red lips and sighed faintly: "The river is around Huangling Spring Temple, the delicate oriole is talking alone, and the courtyard is covered with green moss. The clouds are calm, and they are returning to the mountain. The sound of flutes and drums is faint and the fragrance is cold. , Yue'e has gathered all the curves, and the romantic way is better than the world. It should be noted that crazy visitors are sentenced to death for beauties. "
Suddenly, two drops of tears fell coldly on Han Sheng's face.
Han Sheng woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and what he saw was a beautiful and refined beauty. Under the moonlight, the beauty was sad and lovely, and her breath was like orchid, which made people feel pity for her.
Han Sheng slowly sat up and glanced at Master Yiqing's bed which was empty. Then he looked at the graceful woman, but she was wearing Yiqing's clothes.
"Are you a corpse?" Han Sheng understood and glanced sideways at the pig intestines hanging on the bedside.
He has experienced too many things in more than a month, so he is not very afraid.
The woman said faintly: "My little girl Mingyue, she became a nun at Wuming Temple in Wengong Mountain since she was a child. She originally wanted the ancient Buddha Qingdeng to be with her for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, she met a scholar a year ago. She fell in love for the first time. She didn't want to eat or drink all day long, so she wanted to return to secular life. Instead of lingering for a lifetime. The scholar also vowed that I would wait for him to finish his studies and agreed to meet in two years. Mingyue could not sleep for a long night, and he suffered from lovesickness day by day. In the end, the master found out and punished Mingyue to face the wall and repent for a year. Half a month ago, the scholar A box of mooncakes was given to me privately at home. Ming Yue was so happy that she ate it that night. Unexpectedly, she was poisoned and died. The master noticed that something was wrong in my room and cast a spell to drive away the poison and save me. However, there was no way to save me and Ming Yue became a corpse. Flesh corpse. Now I can only hide in other people's bodies. Every night, I can show up for an hour and come out to eat something."
As Mingyue spoke, her eyes kept glancing at the pig intestines hanging on the bedside.
Han Sheng saw this and said hurriedly: "Mingyue, that food is not delicious. It is fed to dogs and is extremely dirty. Tell me, what happened to the other corpses?"
Mingyue sighed and said: "I only have my own thoughts at this hour every day. Those corpses are all fake. They were deliberately arranged after I showed up to scare everyone."
"Why?" Han Sheng asked puzzledly.
"I hope he can find a real master to come after he gets scared," Mingyue said.
"Why are you looking for an expert to come here?" Han Sheng still didn't understand.
Mingyue's clear water-like eyes looked at Han Sheng and said slowly: "Ask him to help me change back to a normal person."
"How can this be changed back?" Han Sheng asked.
"I don't know either. Since the corpse has a mind and can appear for a certain period of time at night, I guess there must be a way in this world." Mingyue said.
Hansheng is kind-hearted and willing to help others, but he knows very little about corpses. Only the "Shroud Sutra" records some eighteen names of corpses and their respective habits, as well as tips on how to eliminate them. , but there is no mention of ways to help them recover themselves.
It seems that if you want to help Mingyue, you must first understand more about the characteristics of flesh corpses, and maybe you can find corresponding solutions from them.
Uncle Shanren may know more about this.
Hansheng got dressed, came to the door of the west room, and called softly: "Uncle Shanren." He knew that with Uncle Shanren's martial arts skills, he should be very alert when sleeping.
Sure enough, the door opened, and Wu Chushan came out dressed in clothes.
"Something happened? Hansheng." Wu Chushan asked alertly.
"Follow me." Han Sheng led the mountain man into the east room.
Wu Chushan was shocked when he saw such a beautiful beauty sitting on Han Sheng's bed. He looked at the woman and then at Han Sheng in confusion.
"Uncle Shanren, she is the corpse in the crematorium." Han Sheng told Shanren Wu Chu Mingyue's misfortune in detail, but he did not notice that the pig intestine hanging on the bedside was gone. .
"Oh, so that's it," Wu Chushan said in a deep voice, "In the past, when I was in Wolong Valley, when I had nothing to do at night, my master once talked about the corpse transformation in the rivers and lakes. This has happened since ancient times, but in official history It is rarely mentioned in the classics. The flesh corpse is a kinder one among the many corpse transformations, and generally does not actively harm people like the shadow corpse. I remember the master said that the so-called corpse transformation is the transition between life and death. At this stage, which is what is called the 'bardo body' in Buddhism, it is affected by some external force. There are 18 kinds of external forces, leading to 18 kinds of corpse transformation. For example, on a moonless night, a cat who is feminine happens to Jumping over the heart of the corpse at this time will lead to corpse fraud. There are many examples of this among the people. There are also some that only appear in specific areas. For example, walking corpses only appear in the western Hunan area. That is Apply an herbal medicine from the Miao family on the mouth and nose of the corpse in the bardo, and the corpse can continue to walk at night like a normal person, and the water will flood the Jinshan Green Snake and spank the five ghosts , but it will not be able to speak or think, but it will be able to Obediently follow the command of the corpse chaser. As for the corpse, even the master has limited knowledge, so I can't say anything."
Han Sheng was greatly disappointed. Even Uncle Shanren didn't know about it. It seemed that it would be even more difficult to understand the situation of the corpse.
Wu Chushan said thoughtfully: "There is someone who might know."
"Who?" Han Sheng immediately became interested.
"Lingnan Wu Daoming." Shanren said.
With a "plop" sound, Mingyue fell to the ground.
Han Sheng was so shocked that the water covered Jinshan with green snakes and spanked the five ghosts . He hurriedly carried Mingyue to the bed with Wu Chushanren and took a closer look under the moonlight. He saw that Mingyue was unconscious and her mouth smelled like pig intestines.
Only then did Han Sheng realize that the "Three Shit Soul-Destroying Hearts" hanging on the bedside were missing.
Alas, the flesh corpse was greedy, and it was true that it cost him his life… Han Changsheng sighed.
"There is no other way. This 'Three Shit Soul-Breaking Intestine' is specially designed to destroy flesh corpses. It only takes one bite to kill the soul. It seems that she ate a whole one. She is really pitiful. She was poisoned to death in her lifetime. The fleshy corpse was harmed by my poisonous intestines, all because of my carelessness." Han Sheng blamed himself.
Wu Chushan comforted Han Sheng and said: "Han Sheng, don't blame yourself anymore. In short, there are too many injustices in this world. The flesh corpse is dead. It seems that the body will return to its original shape once it is clear. It will be fine at dawn." Just tell him to go back early."
Han Sheng nodded and lay back on the bed. Wu Chushan went back to his room to rest.
Han Sheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. In short, he was the one who harmed Mingyue. Also, the culprit was the scholar's family. Although he didn't know why they did this, they were indeed too cruel.
In a daze, he remembered that there was a way to detoxify ghost poison in the "Qing Sang Sutra", because at that time he had thought, how could a ghost come to him to detoxify? Maybe Hua Tuo wanted to make the sutra more interesting. It was more comprehensive and I just wrote it down casually, so I didn’t take it too seriously at the time, but now I suddenly remembered it.
This requires the use of the cyan yin and yang ruler.
The scriptures say that the Yin-sinking wood gathers ghost energy and detoxifies ghost poison. The Yin-Yang ruler can measure the life and death of the Yin body. Put the ruler into its mouth. If the Qi, Ding, Wang, Yi, Guan, Xing, and Wealth are resolved, harm, suffering, Death and loss are inextricable.
When Han Sheng thought of this, he immediately got up, went out to the yard, and walked to the kennel. Benben looked at him sleepily, grunting in his throat with dissatisfaction.
"Hansheng, is something wrong?" Wu Chushan's voice came from the west room.
"It's okay, I'm here to check on Benben. Uncle Shanren, please go to sleep." Han Sheng lowered his voice.
He took out the red sandalwood box from the thatch in the kennel, pulled out the wooden lid, and checked it in the moonlight. The "Qing Sang Sutra" was intact and not affected by moisture at all. He took out the yin and yang ruler and closed the wooden lid again. , put the wooden box back to its original place, and then quietly returned to the east room.
Han Sheng walked to Mingyue and saw that she was still a beautiful corpse and had not yet turned back into the ugly Master Yiqing. He hoped it was too late, he thought.
Han Sheng opened Mingyue's small mouth, put the yin and yang ruler on her pants and rubbed it clean, and then carefully inserted it into her mouth…
Han Sheng looked at the yin and yang ruler carefully, just like a doctor looking at a thermometer. After a while, he discovered that a white line appeared on the cyan ruler, with a blurred edge, rising from his mouth. That was corpse aura, the ghostly aura condensed on the gloomy wood.
The white corpse energy rose slowly and suddenly stopped at the "death" position. Han Sheng's heart suddenly went cold. "Death" means to retire, lose money, leave home and die. See Lai Mingyue is hopeless.
After a moment, the corpse energy actually moved and moved up one level. Han Sheng looked at it eagerly. It was the "Xing" position, which meant adding children, prosperity, noble children and admission to the imperial examination.
Hansheng couldn't help but feel happy. The scriptures explained that ghosts are the bardo body, and their poisoning is different from that of humans. People's poisoning damages the internal organs and meridians, while the bardo body damages the qi, that is, the soul, and this Yin-Sinking Wooden Yin-Yang Ruler can Gather the soul, and when the soul gathers, the poison will be detoxified.
Mingyue was poisoned by the scholar's family and was rescued by her master in Wumingan Temple when she was in the bardo (the transition period between life and death). However, she mutated into a corpse. The flesh corpse mistakenly ate Han Sheng's "Three feces and soul-breaking intestines" and should have died immediately. However, the three feces were impure and did not come from the body of the person involved. Therefore, the medicine was not as effective as it was. Finally, there was a glimmer of hope. Now, according to "Qing" According to the method of "Nang Jing Sutra", the yin and yang ruler gathers the soul and resolves the poison of the three feces. Mingyue regains the flesh corpse, a healthy flesh corpse.
Han Sheng finally figured this out. Next, Mingyue will continue to return to Yiqing's body, and there will be an hour every night when she can come out. However, in order to completely save Mingyue, we must first return her to the bardo state, and then use the method of detoxifying people in the "Qing Sang Sutra" to treat Mingyue, and finally succeeded.
"I will go find Wu Daoming early tomorrow morning." He thought.
"What's wrong with me? What is this?" Mingyue woke up and pulled the Yin-Yang Ruler out of her mouth and said.
Han Sheng was overjoyed. The "Qing Sang Jing" was simply a miraculous work. Being a doctor was pretty good. Not only was he happy to save people, but he was also happy to save ghosts.
Han Sheng took the yin and yang ruler, secretly glanced at the towering peaks of Mingyue's chest, and said: "Mingyue, you just ate the pig intestines and were poisoned. Now you're fine. The hour is about to come. I'll go there tomorrow. Find a way to cure you. Remember, my name is Han Sheng, and this is Nanshan Village in Nanshan Town. We will talk again tomorrow night. By the way, what is the scholar's name and where does he live? "
Mingyue was about to speak, but was speechless. The skin on her face suddenly turned black and wrinkled, and her graceful and curved peaks suddenly collapsed and shriveled. What slowly appeared in front of her eyes was still a pig. Master Yiqing has dog eyes, a nose and a sheep mouth…
"Why does my mouth smell so bad?" Yiqing asked warily.
