Any accumulation of the fruits of human civilization is hard-won, especially in the long years of low productivity, people struggling with food and clothing have no sense of exploration and accumulation at all.
Therefore, in addition to the necessary knowledge of food, clothing, housing, transportation, most of the skills in other areas have experienced countless times in history, and even no names are left in history, only ";**巧技"; four characters are left. The general term.
Therefore, the emergence of the industry of cadavers can be said to be a historical coincidence, and even a miracle. They discovered the skills of cadavers in the coincidence, and miraculously passed them on.
And in that era of "; people eat each other"; why did the ancestors of the Qin family turn their eyes to those weird blacks that appear in the bones of dead people when they can’t even fill their stomachs and cannot guarantee their lives? The reason for the snake going up is already unknown.
In short, in the legend handed down by the Qin clan population, in the age when there were no chickens and the white bones were exposed in the wild, the ancestors of the Qin clan discovered the secret of the black snake.
It is a kind of snake that lives widely in the waters of southern my country. The people of the Qin clan originally thought that they only lived in part of the Yangtze River in western Hunan. However, as the footprints of the corpse-driving people continued to spread across the country, they discovered this black thin Snakes live widely in the entire Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system, and even in the Nu River system.
The ancestors of the Qin family discovered that this snake likes to lay eggs in the water, or simply enter the human body from the ear, nose, and throat to lay eggs. The eggs will flow into the body's veins with the flow of blood, and finally hatch into thin hair. The snake comes.
If the host is dead before the snake eggs hatch, or the female snake enters the body to lay eggs after the host dies, the eggs cannot flow throughout the body with the blood, and eventually they can only accumulate in the bones to hatch. , Which is why the ancestors of the Qin family found black snakes in the leg bones of the dead.
The Qin clan members also discovered that if a black snake enters the body while a person is alive, then the person will become a delirious madman, like a ghost upper body, so the Qin clan kills every person who enters the black snake in his body. , Because they have become irreparable evil spirits.
That year, the sky was starved, and the hungry fell into the wilderness. The hungry people got food from it. This was a disaster from heaven and a cruel and bloody experimental ground for the Qin clan. If there are not so many dead corpses, the law of using black snakes to control dead corpses may never be summarized by humans, and the profession of corpse chasers may never appear.
But in that era when people were eating each other, each corpse became an excellent carrier for the Qin clan to gain experience. It can even be speculated that at that time, there must have been an excellent genius among the Qin clan. The characters, persuaded them and led them, before the end of this famine, summed up the law of using black snakes to drive corpses.
Although they do not possess the scientific spirit of using experiments for inductive analysis, in fact, they are already doing it. If a modern scientist who is thousands of years later observes this group of Qin people living in western Hunan, it will be amazed. It was discovered that the germination of modern scientific thinking came from a group of foolish people who lived in the wild and carried out some kind of cruel corpse experiment.
They catch black snakes, raise black snakes, inject black snake eggs into corpses, or directly put female snakes into the body through the deceased’s mouth. They found that using the sap of a certain plant rhizome, as well as the singing of a specific voice, can manipulate the black snake in the dead body to perform specific actions.
Perhaps it was in a certain afternoon when the setting sun was sinking, in a damp cave lit by a bonfire, when a dead body swayed from the straw and stood up from the straw with the weird singing and the sound of bells, and stretched out his hands, The black snakes in the bones of their legs were attracted by the smell of herbs and secret singing, and when they led the corpse with special significance to its first step, the world's first corpse chaser was born.
This is the history of the corpse man. Perhaps, there are two kinds of science in this world, one is the science that has been confirmed as science, such as the heliocentric theory, and the other is the superstition that has not been confirmed as science, such as the corpse man. Then there are two kinds of superstitions in this world, one is science with the skin of superstition, and the other is the superstition with the skin of science.
In short, the corpse chasers have been active in the land of western Hunan since then. This is an area that has long belonged to the wild land. Even after 1949, this land has experienced a period of mixed fish and dragons for a period of time. The Qin clan members quietly observe the situation in the Central Plains in this area not far from the Central Plains, not close to them, and not part of the battleground for military strategists. As soon as the world fell apart, they were active on the battlefield with a strange posture. They once sent the Shu army who died on the Yiling battlefield back to Chengdu, and also joined the Yue family army, bringing back the corpses of heroes to the Yangtze River. To the south, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, the bodies of the first group of Guangxi wolves that had risen from the pole were also sent back to Jintian, Guangxi by this group of Xiangxi people.
The legend of the corpse chaser has been passed down in this land. They have miraculously gone through thousands of years of ups and downs and dynasties. They have not been sadly cut off like other inheritances on this land, but have been passed down extremely stubbornly. .
The weakness of the corpse chaser comes from modern times.
After modern times, the corpse shovelers worked for the Beiyang government. At that time, due to the introduction of modern guns, the number of corpse shovelers surnamed Qin had been greatly reduced. Many people died under the guns, but their bodies would not be returned. When they went to Xiangxi, they were buried in situ, because the corpse-shovelers have tamed and raised black snakes for a long time, coupled with the infiltration of herbal scents, even if they are dead, the black snakes dare not lay eggs in their bodies, it is impossible. Survive in the body of the Qin clan.
This is such a sad reality. The corpse chaser brought back countless corpses from a foreign country, but most of them can only bury their bones. The doctors have such a saying that healers don’t heal themselves. Maybe the world’s people. The reason is that it is such an impermanence.
The chaos of the Beiyang warlords was the first drastic reduction in the population of Qin surnamed corpses in modern times.
The one who changed this situation was a man named Ning Hanqing. He was an early member of the Guangdong National Government. Later, the Northern Expedition, the Ning-Han confluence, the Nanjing National Government was established, and the corpse chaser was transferred to the logistics department of the Central Army. It was at this time. Ning Hanqing noticed the people of the Qin clan. He keenly realized that the establishment of the Nanjing government was definitely not the beginning of a peaceful and prosperous age. The eyes of the Eastern Kingdom made Ning Hanqing think that the blood on this land was far from being drained.
The Qin clan members can no longer sacrifice on the battlefield needlessly. As one of the few inheritances that have been passed down for thousands of years on the land of China, it must not be destroyed on the battlefield like this.
So he stopped all this, and from then on, the corpse chaser was placed under a department called the Secret Investigation Bureau and directly under the responsibility of that person named Ning Hanqing.
At first, Ning Hanqing was very interested in the methods used by the cadavers to control the dead, because he was preparing for the longevity plan, but the longevity plan has been stopped since 1644. It is difficult to find the starting plan in the countless written records handed down by the Ning family. The entry point, the appearance of the corpse chaser, aroused the interest of Ning Hanqing, but soon he discovered that this corpse control technique seemed to have nothing to do with his research. In essence, it was to install the body in the body of the corpse. It only uses some engines, and it can't really make the corpse move.
The only thing that is related to longevity is the kind of black snakes. After they enter the living host, they will not endanger the life of the host, but achieve a symbiotic relationship between the two. How is this symbiotic balance achieved? , Aroused the attention of Ning Hanqing.
But soon, he was distracted, and finally found something valuable in the written materials handed down by the Ning family, and the Secret Investigation Bureau's energy was quickly devoted to an expedition plan on the southeast coast.
It was this trivial negligence that caused Ning Hanqing to pass by a certain force, and also caused the corpse chaser to miss his last chance to save himself. (End of this chapter)
