Chapter 1737 Qianling Tribe Ⅴ
Bing Zhixie asked again: “Why does your tribe plant raccoon blood vines on pregnant women?”
“If you don’t plant raccoon blood vines, they will be killed by fetal demons. Possessed. When the time comes, both the fetus and the mother will die."
"Fetal Demon!?" Bing Zhixie has heard of some remote and ignorant places, where unexplainable and vicious things are always described as legends of demons and possessions. Therefore, when he heard the word "pregnant demon possession", he thought about it: "What is the fetal demon possession you are talking about? Can you describe it?"
Kun puzzled: "Why are you interested in fetal demon possession?" ?" She thought for a while, organized her vocabulary and language to describe it to Bing Zhixie.
It turns out that pregnant women in the Qianling tribe are prone to symptoms similar to heart palpitations and excessive dreams. They tend to dream of scary things and are unable to sleep normally. In their dreams, the fetuses in their wombs transformed into terrifying demons, brutally torturing their mothers, leaving their mothers in a state of extreme fear all day long. Not only that, as time goes by, the demonic fetus in the belly will pinch the mother's neck bit by bit in the dream, making the mother gradually unable to breathe, and eventually suffocate and the mother will die. People in the tribe believe that this is the result of being possessed by a 'fetal demon'.
However, not every pregnant woman in the tribe will be possessed by the fetal demon. They don’t know exactly what kind of pregnant women will be possessed by the fetal demon. I only know that out of every ten pregnant women, there are usually six to seven pregnant women who will be affected by the 'fetal demon'. And if you are not possessed by the fetal demon during this pregnancy, you will not be possessed by the fetal demon next time. It is completely unreasonable that there will be 'fetal demon possession'. Definitely.
Bing Zhixie said: "So you use the method of raccoon blood vine to save the lives of pregnant women, mother and child?"
Kun nodded: "When a pregnant woman in the clan appears to be 'possessed by a fetus demon' When they have symptoms, the clan grandmother will use the raccoon blood vine she cultivated to save them. The raccoon blood vine can control our behavior and not be affected by the fetal demon. It is also said that Huanxueteng can channelize the blood flow in the fetus and the mother's body, preventing the mother and child from suffocating to death."
Bing Zhixie's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Change. Blood~!" He recalled the four corpses of baby girls he had just seen in the stone room. Their black and blue symptoms were indeed like those caused by hypoxia and suffocation.
Kun said: "Huanxueteng cannot save every fetus, but it can protect the mother from dying."
Bing Zhixie immediately asked: "Are you the only people from the Qianling tribe who do this?" He immediately asked It occurred to me that the couple in Mulou were not from the Qianling tribe, but his wife Luolan also suffered from the same situation.
Kun shook his head and said: "I don't know. This area is the territory of our Qianling tribe, and other tribes are far away. They dare not invade. Because the women of the Qianling tribe are the most powerful. Warrior!"
"What about yesterday?"
"..." Kun felt a little ashamed and said: "Yesterday was different. More than ten days ago, we attacked a group of foreigners who suddenly appeared far away. Maybe they united with other tribes to retaliate. But they didn't Dare to stay because they are afraid of us ”
"Should?" Bing Zhixie narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying that there are no people from other tribes in a large area nearby? They came from far away?"
Kun said: "They dare not invade. All the mountains, rivers and rivers here are the territory of our Qianling tribe."
Bing Zhixie said thoughtfully: "I think it's not that they don't dare, but... they really don't dare."
"What are you talking about?"
Bingzhixie said: "Take me to see your grandma, I think she must know more."
Kun said unhappily: "You are so rude! Our clan grandma is not something you, a man, can just meet if you want. Now that I am talking to you alone, it is already... already a great gift to you. You can't Greedy demands more. Even if you have helped the tribe, the tribe's laws will not forgive your guilt!"
Bing Zhixie asked: "Didn't you say that I am a 'tribe'? What is it? Isn’t it a person with status? "
Kun was stunned for a moment and said: "'Zuya' is the most prestigious man in the Qianling tribe, but any man is a lowly slave. It's not allowed, and 'Zuya' can't do it either."
Bingzhixie wondered if this tribe that only gave birth to female babies was the tribe that was possessed by the so-called "fetal demon". What was the purpose of that black cat leading him here? Does Black Cat want him to solve the mystery behind this and help these people be freed?
Kun, who was a little angry, saw him thinking seriously at night, thinking about something as if no one else was around, and the look in her eyes at him softened unconsciously. She said, "I can take you to see the tribe. Grandma, but you can't ask for more. No matter how much... I can't help you..." When he said this, the strong Kun couldn't help showing a little womanly look.
Bing Zhixie said hello casually and did not notice the change in her demeanor. He was still thinking about the blood-conveying function of blood-leaf vine.
When we arrived at the tribe, the people of the Qianling tribe, a large tribe, had all fallen asleep. The old grandma walked into the primitive tribal hall with the support of the tribe. Kun told his grandma the questions Bing Zhixie had asked. The grandma nodded, her eyes locked on Bing Zhixie like two thin slits: "Young man, why do you treat the Qianling tribe members Are you so interested in something? Do you want to do something bad to my tribe?" Grandma's common language was much better than Kun's standard.
"Of course not. Grandma, you are a wise person, you can see that I am not a bad person who harms the Qianling tribe." Bing Zhixie said: "My purpose of exploring these questions is first of all. Curious. Secondly, I think Qian Lingbu What happened to the clan was not due to 'fetal demon possession', but something else."
"What reason?"
"I don't know the reason yet, but I think. Figure it out.”
The grandma said: "You know, the Qianling tribe has been living here for many years. My ancestors...the ancestors of the ancestors...the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors have always lived here. The evil curse of the fetal demon has been there since the beginning." , this is the fate of our Qianling tribe, and only Huanxuevine can save us."
Bingzhixie said: "You have had contact with people from outside tribes. , you should know that people from other tribes are different from you. I have never heard of any group of people who only give birth to girls, and I have never heard of fetal demon possession. I think there is a root cause for all this, and it is not fate."
Kun glared at Bing Zhixie and said angrily: "You humble man, you can't question Grandma Clan's words."
Grandma Clan didn't speak and fell silent.
Bing Zhixie thought that the people of the Qianling tribe might have a very different understanding of the outside world than he did of the outside world. Their tribe has lived here for generations and has never left these mountains and rivers. Maybe their knowledge of the outside world is only the five or seven sparsely populated small tribes at the farthest reaches of their power. This grandma claims to have been to the outside world, but she doesn’t know exactly where she refers to the outside world. Maybe I should find another way to express myself.
He thought for a while and said: "Grandma, what I mean is that the fetal demon may exist in these mountains and rivers. If it can be found, it may be completely eliminated."
These words Finished, grandma’s tiny eyes His eyes opened with an obvious crack: "You said that the evil curse of the fetal demon does not always exist in our bodies, but is outside?" "Grandma, do you always think that the fetal demon has been in your body since birth? "Bingzhi said evilly.
Kun said: "Isn't it? They will wake up at any time."
The clan's grandmother said: "No, no, no, I don't think so. If the fetal demon is in our In the blood of the Qianling tribe, the foreign girl will not be possessed by the fetal demon.”
Kun suddenly realized: "Yes, that foreign woman was also affected by the fetal demon. Why didn't I think about this problem?"
The clan's grandmother said: "Maybe the fetal demon really exists outside the blood of our body, maybe If you find it, you can really eliminate it forever. Young man, can you find the fetal demon?"
"Me. You can give it a try." Bing Zhixie said, "But I need your help."
Kun didn't wait to speak, and asked impatiently: "How do you want my soldiers to help you?"
Bingzhixie said: "I want to know the locations of all the tribes you know in the nearby area."
"Why do you need to know this?" Kun has always been wary and suspicious of outsiders, although such suspicion is really unnecessary.
Bing Zhixie said: "I want to determine the scope of the fetal demon's existence and ask other tribes about the corresponding situation."
The tribe's grandmother nodded and said: "Kun, you can tell him."
Bing Zhixie said again: "In addition, I want to know what will happen if pregnant women who have planted the rhinoceros vine pull out the rhinoceros vine."
"They will die." said the clan grandmother. Straightforward and simple.
Bing Zhixie asked: "How to die?"
"Suffocated to death in pain and fear." Grandma said.
“It’s suffocation!” Bing Zhixie nodded: “Can the pulled out raccoon blood vine be replanted to save her life?”
“A new one needs to be planted. The raccoon blood vine, over time No." After the clan grandmother finished speaking, she asked: "Why are you asking?"
Bing Zhixie said: "I want to see with my own eyes what the pregnant woman will be like after pulling out the blood-red vine."
At this time, many people in the tribe woke up. They came around the hall curiously, whispering to each other and asking what happened. A familiar person also appeared. She was Cha who Bing Zhixie had treated yesterday. She glanced at Bing Zhixie and crawled to the stone bed with difficulty to ask Kun something.
Kun said a lot to her, and the people around her were in an uproar. They cast their eyes on this rare man from outside with deep concern, with complicated emotions in his eyes. Many of these people were those who had been treated by Bing Zhixie last night.
The clan grandmother stood up from the stone couch and said: "Young man, do you know? The fetal demon is the god we most fear. For saying such a thing, you should have been executed. What's more, you are still a man. If It was me back then, and you had already committed a capital crime."
"What about now?"
Grandma said: "Since I have the Huanxue Vine to save my life. This method will let me and my tribe know that the fetal demon is not invincible, so I give you this opportunity. If you can really eliminate the poison of the fetal demon to our tribe, you will become the most respected person in the Qianling tribe, and we will also. I will worship you as a god, but if you fail to do so and even anger the fetal demon, you will pay a heavy price for it!”
"What price?"
Magic power suddenly surged from Grandma Clan's body, and a strange light array lit up under Bing Zhixie's feet. Then she took out a wooden box from her sleeve. She opened the box and took out a piece of black stuff: "This is the Heart-Eating Witch. Swallow it. If you can't do what you promised, you will be doomed."
Bingzhixie sensed that the magic light array under her feet was temporarily ineffective against her. He was malicious because he didn’t get out. He said: “I want to help you, why do you have to pay the price?” Confrontation, this is a very dangerous move, and it is likely to be attacked by the fetal demon. We want to get rid of the poison of the fetal demon, so we must pay the price, and I can't let you treat the risk of the whole clan as a floating cloud."
Bingzhi. Xie feels a little coke, but he is still very serious Said: "Grandma, the danger you are worried about does not exist at all." At this time, Bing Zhixie had a certain judgment on the existence of the 'fetal demon'. There may be some factors that cause humans within the range to be affected by the 'fetal demon'. ', but this 'fetal demon' is definitely not the ghost and god they believe in.
The clan's grandmother was very angry. She lifted the magic and said: "If you are not willing to bear the consequences of punishment, don't mention helping us!" For people with superstitious ideas, some things cannot be changed. They are like people who believe in religion. To outsiders, the so-called gods and demons are imaginary illusions, but those who believe in them regard these illusions as existences of great awe. What Bing Zhixie wants them to do now is like asking a group of believers to fight the devil they fear most. Although they want to get rid of the fear caused by the 'devil', they are not willing to be fooled by others. If they really want to think that Bing Zhixie is helping them defeat the 'devil', they have to gain their trust, and this trust comes from the 'Heart-Destroying Witch' in the hands of the clan's grandmother.
In fact, Bing Zhixie does not need to promise anything to them. He can investigate and understand the matter alone, find the so-called 'fetal demon' by himself, and find a way to eliminate it. Whether these people from the Qianling Tribe trust them or not is not worth mentioning to him. Yes, he could indeed do it independently, and that was his intention.
But when he saw the eager eyes around him, his cold and stiff heart suddenly softened. He had seen similar looks before, but his state of mind at that time was very different from his current state of mind. At that time, he only felt that he was the most lonely and helpless person in the world. He isolated his heart from the world, and was cold to everyone and the whole world. But now...
