Without hesitation, Hou Wenjie manipulated the black python to bite the python on the other side.
The python opposite seemed somewhat listless at first, but the sudden bite seemed to have aroused its ferocity, and its mouth also bit towards the black python controlled by Hou Wenjie.
Hou Wenjie remained calm. He controlled the black python to bite the snake opposite him tightly and drag it to the stream of his memories.
Then, he easily suppressed the python opposite him with his mind.
Hou Wenjie controlled the black python, which devoured all of its kind.
All of this seems like a long process, but it was actually just a fleeting moment.
Then, Hou Wenjie's hands surged with black energy, and he closed Xiao Wang's eyes again.
They went to the brazier again and burned a bundle of yellow paper for him.
Back home, Hou Wenjie began searching online for information about strange events.
He browsed through them one by one until he entered a forum called Weird Archives.
The pinned post on the forum is titled "Mysterious Resurgence, the Disappearance of xx Village".
Hou Wenjie tapped the link with his finger, only to find that he needed to register as a member to view the post.
Registering as a member costs 500 yuan.
Without much hesitation, Hou Wenjie registered.
Upon opening the post, Hou Wenjie saw a picture.
The picture shows an old man grinning as he wipes a table.
The old man's teeth looked very neat, and his clothes fit him well; they were the old-fashioned Taoist robes, without any wrinkles. It was clear that he was a very respectable person.
But his smile looked somewhat eerie.
Hou Wenjie continued reading.
To be honest, many netizens may not believe it, but I must emphasize that as a forum moderator, I, Meng Degang, am an external member of the National Bureau of Mysteries.
This world has gradually become more dangerous over the past decade or so.
Many strange things have begun to resurface.
For ordinary people, these things are a disaster.
Because the supernatural won't die!
Don't expect Western gods or Buddhas to protect you, because no one can prove the existence of these gods and Buddhas.
As for the gods of our East, due to the invasion of foreign races hundreds of years ago, with the death of the last Taoist priests, all Taoist scriptures were burned, and the complex names of those gods are no longer known to people.
Only occasionally can one see murals dedicated to the local deity amidst the ruins.
Upon seeing this, Hou Wenjie naturally recalled the original owner's memories of history.
Hundreds of years ago, at the end of a dynasty, the court was utterly corrupt.
The people were suffering, war raged everywhere, and the dynasty's rule was on the verge of collapse.
Meanwhile, the foreign tribes, with their superior military strength, advanced rapidly and eventually conquered the Central Plains with almost no resistance.
When a foreign king enters the Central Plains and wants to stabilize his rule over the country, the first thing he thinks of is to keep the people ignorant!
They burned almost all the books.
What remained were nothing more than ancient classics that had no practical application in governing the world, which they used as teaching materials for the imperial examinations.
It confines all the so-called intelligent scholars in the world to these books.
A cultural break occurred from then on, and ancient history was lost in the long river of time.
As for the common people at the bottom, the foreign king completely destroyed Taoism, strictly prohibited the promotion of ancient Taoist mythological figures, and vigorously promoted Buddhism!
Buddhist temples were built throughout the country.
Because Buddhism believes in reincarnation, doing good deeds in this life will lead to being born into a wealthy family in the next life.
Suffering in this life is the result of accumulating good karma!
In the eyes of the foreign king, as long as everyone believes in Buddhism, the common people will suffer more and be more submissive!
Even so, the foreign king felt it was still not safe, so he ordered the country to be closed off from the outside world, which prevented the invasion of foreign cultures and was perfect!
It can be said that the foreign king's initial approach to governing the country was not aimed at making the country strong and the people prosperous.
Instead, they carried the predatory nature inherent in nomadic peoples, thinking about how long they could plunder.
It was precisely because of the foreign dynasty's policy of keeping the people ignorant that this country became incredibly weak in the later stages of the dynasty. Any tiny country could come and trample on it, spit on it, and then take away large chests of treasure.
Even though later, virtuous and righteous people bravely sacrificed their lives to create a new era and a new atmosphere, the medical system, mythological system, and a considerable part of the cultural heritage passed down from ancient times were lost.
Nowadays, most tourist attractions are Buddhist temples, and some city centers even have magnificent cathedrals. Every day, many people travel long distances and spend a lot of money to burn incense at Buddhist temples, donate to churches, and pray sincerely to pastors.
However, there are very few Taoist temples to be seen. Even the Taoist scriptures were only translated a few years ago because they were originally sent to foreign countries.
I just don't know how much of the original meaning remains.
There's even a video circulating online showing a Taoist priest painstakingly building a temple, then traveling for half a year, only to have the temple contracted out to a tourism company by the local tourism bureau.
The Taoist temple was filled with Buddha statues; how ridiculous!
Putting aside this surging memory, Hou Wenjie continued reading the post.
The picture in my post is a photo taken in Luomen Village.
Luomen Village is a small village located in Yangshan Town, Dachuan City, Chuzhou.
Because the village is far from the town and transportation is inconvenient, the villagers bought houses in the town after they earned money.
Only a few elderly people remained, and then these elderly people mysteriously disappeared.
The old man in this photo is one of the missing elderly people.
At that time, after receiving an alert from the city police department, the Bureau of Mysteries of Dachuan City immediately dispatched personnel to Luomen Village to search for any hidden supernatural phenomena.
But the supernatural is immortal! Even if you find it, you might not be able to defeat it!
The only effective way to deal with the supernatural is to imprison it! This term might be hard to understand, but those who have read online novels should know a common name for it: sealing!
Current research indicates that all firearms are ineffective against the uncanny.
Therefore, imprisoning the supernatural requires professional supernatural sealers.
I cannot say much about Feng Guiren.
What I can tell you is that in the bizarre world, the only thing that can deal with the bizarre is the bizarre itself!
The Bureau of Ghost Stories of Dachuan City dispatched two ghost-sealing masters.
One of them took this photo with their phone.
Now, a cordon has been set up outside Luo Family Village, and armed troops are guarding the area.
The official explanation was that there was a highly contagious virus outbreak, and wartime regulations were being implemented in the entire village area.
In addition to providing ample compensation to the families of the missing elderly, a confidentiality agreement was also signed.
Some people may wonder why I know so much, and many more may be skeptical.
Actually, if you don't believe me, you can take a stroll around the vicinity of Luomen Village and you'll see.
This concludes the post by the original poster, Meng Degang.
Below are comments from other people, as well as Meng Degang's reply.
Q: [Since this is classified information, how dare you post it so openly? If it's true, and others post it on social media platforms like YouTube and Toutiao, causing it to spread, won't you be blacklisted?]
A: First of all, I dare to post this because I belong to an official affiliated organization, and this forum I created also serves to bring in fresh blood for the organization.
Our organization is a formally registered non-governmental organization. We also receive official tasks every month.
It can be said that the connection with the government is quite close.
Therefore, the authorities tend to turn a blind eye to our semi-covert recruitment of new people and the dissemination of information.
After all, the number of strange occurrences is increasing year by year, and the number of people needed is also increasing.
At this point, it is necessary to screen a group of people who have had indirect contact with the strange!
And if you're willing to spend 500 yuan to become a member and come to a forum like this, you must have experienced some very strange things in the past.
If you have truly experienced the bizarre and survived, you are very suitable to become a Ghost-Sealing Person, because it means that your mind is different from ordinary people!
Furthermore, even I can only post this kind of thing on semi-hidden forums. How could you ordinary people possibly post this kind of thing on platforms like Metaspace and Toutiao/Weibo?
Your posts will never pass the review process, and what awaits you is likely the sound of someone knocking on your door to read your water meter.
This kind of information cannot be disseminated on a large scale!
Once it spreads, panic will grip the entire society. The uncertainty about the future, the fear of death, and various complex emotions will brew into a huge disaster.
Only with stability can there be a possibility of improvement.
Unrest will only lead to greater disaster.
At that time, people will become more terrifying than monsters.
