The three of them stood in the woods, looking at the big trees in front of them.
"Let's not talk about ghosts for now. Master, do you think this place is a geomantic treasure?" Qin Wei asked softly, his body trembling slightly from the cold.
Tianming didn¡¯t answer. He slowly made a big circle and bypassed several big trees before stopping in a relatively open place: ¡°To be precise, it should be this place.¡±
Qin Wei and Chen Feng stood behind Tianming and looked around, only to see that there was only one very strange tree in this large open space - strange, it means that the entire trunk of this tree grew underground, and there were only a few that were not very strange. Thick branches grew above the ground.
If you hadn¡¯t looked carefully, you would have thought it was something like a low shrub.
Qin Wei and Chen Feng didn¡¯t understand what was special here at all, and were waiting for Tianming to explain.
Tianming watched for a while and suddenly stood between two tree branches: "If you stand here and look at the sun in the sky, you will know why this place is so special."
Qin Wei glanced at Chen Feng in confusion, and the two of them took a step forward, stood between the two tree branches, and looked up at the sun in the sky.
This sight made Qin Wei suddenly feel like he was in a dream - from this angle, looking at the sun between the two tree branches, everything in front of him was blurred, as if he was in chaos. However, it all seems so beautiful. The originally dazzling sun was like a beautiful halo, and within the halo could be faintly seen the graceful figure of a woman, which was very warm.
"see it?"
Tianming¡¯s words brought Qin Wei and Chen Feng back to their senses. They instantly returned to the cold mountain from the strange warmth and shivered involuntarily.
"Master, what on earth is going on?" Chen Feng asked, slapping his thickly gloved hands.
Tianming chuckled: "How should I put this? If you talk about it from a scientific perspective, it can be explained. The tree itself has life, and some living things like trees can emit a strange The radio waves are just like our brain waves, and if these strange radio waves are combined by coincidence, or form a cycle and collision like these two tree branches, a very strange phenomenon will be formed. , just like what you just saw.¡±
Chen Feng and Qin Wei nodded in understanding. Chen Feng then asked: "What if it's not a scientific explanation?"
"Then you have to change an idea first!" After standing in the cold wind for so long, Tianming's face was still very rosy: "Which of the superstitions and sciences we talk about appeared in this world first? In fact, it is obvious. It¡¯s the so-called superstition. And the science that emerged later was just a small group of people finding a more acceptable or more conducive explanation for the so-called superstition. Then it¡¯s all easy to explain. This forest The most powerful and central part is this tree with its trunk growing below the ground!¡±
"Is this a camphor tree?!" Chen Feng suddenly said with some surprise: "This is the first time I have seen a camphor tree in the Northeast!"
Qin Wei had been wondering what kind of tree it was from the beginning, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. He was a little surprised when Chen Feng said: This camphor tree should grow in the subtropical zone. It can be found as far north as It survived in some places in the Huanghuai area, but how could it appear in the Northeast? !
Tianming smiled slightly and said: "Yes, this is a camphor tree. And it is closely related to the woman's cry you heard, Qin Wei!"
When Qin Wei heard this, he suddenly asked: "Master, you just asked us to see this tree, but you still didn't tell me why this is a geomantic treasure?"
"It's because of this camphor tree growing here!" Tianming stopped smiling: "If it weren't for this camphor tree, everything here might cease to exist!"
Qin Wei and Chen Feng looked at each other and were about to say something. Qin Wei, who was closest to the camphor tree, suddenly felt as if the ground beneath his feet had disappeared. He staggered and suddenly felt like the world was spinning, as if he had fallen into a hole.
Qin Wei screamed, and after feeling the landing, he hurriedly propped himself up, shook his head, and then realized that Chen Feng and Tianming had also fallen.
Qin Weigang was about to speak, but through the sunlight falling in through the hole about three meters in diameter, he vaguely saw a woman in front of him!
The winter sunshine is already very warm, and the angle of this forest is very special. There is very little sunlight shining in. When he saw a graceful woman standing in front of him in the gloom, Qin Wei couldn't help but scream and step back!
"Haha! It's true!" Tianming said with a smile: "Look carefully, who is this woman?"
Qin Wei and Chen Feng looked around in search of the sound. They were quite disappointed - how could this woman be a human being? She was actuallyThe trunk of that camphor tree!
The top branches of the camphor tree grow outside the surface of the earth, and the main trunk inside the earth actually looks like a dancing woman. What Qin Wei just saw was the head of the woman above the tree crown. . Looking at it now, the entire tree trunk is graceful and graceful, very much like a dancing woman. When the tree trunk begins to branch, more than a dozen small branches grow out, and the roots are intertwined together to outline an extremely beautiful picture. woman¡¯s face!
"This" Although Chen Feng can be considered well-informed, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw such a strange scene.
Needless to say, Qin Wei, when he saw this scene, he had already stood behind Chen Feng and did not dare to express his anger. It made sense, after all, he had experienced a cry on the hill himself. But I didn't see who made the sound at that time. But looking at it now, there is no doubt that the woman's cry must have come from this camphor tree!
"We have broken the Feng Shui here!" Tianming suddenly said seriously: "None of you are allowed to touch this camphor tree. If you don't listen, it may bring unexpected disasters!"
"But, what is going on?!" Chen Feng, who was almost middle-aged after all, quickly calmed down, took a step back to get further away from the camphor tree, and asked softly.
"Do you know the meaning of the camphor tree?" Tianming saw Chen Feng and Qin Wei shaking their heads and explained: "In ancient times, when a girl was born in a family, they would plant a camphor tree in their yard to show their family's happiness. An unmarried woman. When the girl grows up and has someone to marry, the elders will cut down the camphor tree in the yard and make a huge box to hold the dowry of the married woman!"
"But this camphor tree?" Qin Wei's voice was trembling.
Tianming stroked his white beard and said softly: "If I thought correctly, this was originally a camphor tree planted by a family for their daughter. Later, maybe because of love, the woman died mysteriously before getting married, and Her soul is probably combined with this camphor tree until now. And this place also has a feminine ghostly aura!"
Chen Feng nodded slightly: "That means that the camphor tree grew like this after becoming one with the woman's soul?"
Tianming nodded slightly: "You are right. However, you have inadvertently admitted the existence of ghosts!"
Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "According to what the master said, this ghost is just a special form of life. I can accept this."
"But, how can we make this woman's soul disappear?" Qin Wei suddenly asked.
Tianming shook his head: "This camphor tree grows in the tropics and subtropics, and the tradition of planting camphor trees if a woman in the family is not married is exactly what was passed down in the Miao village! But in the Miao village, planting camphor trees It¡¯s not just to show that there is an unmarried woman in the family, it¡¯s a trick!¡±
"Gu Shu?!" These words shocked Qin Wei and Chen Feng.
"Yes, it's the cup technique!" Tianming said softly: "You know, the cup technique in this Miao village was originally only taught to women, and these women who knew the cup technique were called 'grass ghosts'. In the original Miao village, this Once the camphor tree is planted, it is a carrier of cup magic. In every camphor tree seed to be planted, there is the blood of a newborn baby girl. Therefore, the birth of every grass hag is related to a tree. The camphor tree has a blood connection! This camphor tree actually represents the life path of a grass hag to a certain extent. If the cup-giver is skilled in cup-making, this camphor tree is more likely to represent the blood relationship with her. The lives of even the grass hags!"
"So, why do you need to use the Cup Technique on the camphor tree?" Chen Feng asked.
Tianming replied: "The camphor tree is a tree of gods in the hearts of Miaozhan people. Originally, there were very few people who could perform the cup technique, but later some Miao people discovered that the camphor tree has extremely strong vitality, and they are performing this kind of magic." The cup technique of the blood spirit can greatly improve the cup technique of the grass hags who have a blood connection with the camphor tree. This discovery made the Miao village, which had only a few grass hags, vigorously develop this kind of blood spirit technique. Cup Technique. In this way, the Cup Technique of the Miao Village has been greatly developed. However, because of this, there are more and more grass ghosts in the Miao Village, and factions and disputes have emerged. It also gave rise to the Miao people who later came. The migration of people provided a prerequisite. So there was a change in the cup technique after the migration of the Miao people - men also received the inheritance of cup technique, and many strange cup techniques also slowly appeared."
"Then it seems like this camphor tree can almost be called the foundation of the Miao cup technique!" Chen Feng said in a low voice.
Qin Wei didn't think about this at this time. He suddenly felt that Tianming in front of him seemed to know too much. He felt that not many people in the world knew about these Miao things, especially the camphor tree. Even if you are a descendant of the Miao ethnic group, you may not know. But the Tianming in front of him knew it in such detail!
Tianming was about to say something when suddenly, a woman's cry came outMaybe not many people know about it, even the descendants of the Miao people may not know it. But the Tianming in front of him knew it in such detail!
