Chapter 293 Ancient Tomb Corpse Poison
Yan Xing volunteered to be in the air and secretly observed every move of the four people, focusing on the older man who claimed to be a Taoist priest. He was the leader of the small team, with a long aura, which was not simple!
After observation, he was 100% sure that two of the other three were professional back-fighters. As for how to determine that they were tomb robbers, that was a secret kept secret in their team.
The lean owner of the street stall should have tomb robbing skills. He is not a professional tomb robbing person, so he is half a tomb robber.
He was also very interested when the old Taoist priest asked little Loli if there was anything wrong with them. It would be best if all four of them had something wrong with them as punishment for robbing the tomb.
Young Master Yan was gloating over the misfortune, while the four-eyed monkey named Heiguotou, who was the party involved, was so shocked that he broke out in sweat. He sat up straight and nervously waited for the little girl's answer as if he was waiting for the court to pronounce the verdict.
"Well, there's something wrong." Le Yun is a good and honest child. She won't lie. Yes means, no means no. She won't scare people on purpose.
"If there is anything wrong, please don't hesitate to teach me so that we can have a better understanding." Master Ao was not ashamed to ask for advice.
The monkey spirit's four-eyed black pot head became even more nervous. He still remembered that when he met Master Ao, the master stared at them for a long time, and then fell into the underground river and was washed to this strange place. After landing, Master Ao watched them for a while, although he didn't What can I say, but they don't feel good.
Moreover, they themselves also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with their bodies after entering the ancient tomb. The specific manifestations were hard to say. Anyway, they were very uncomfortable.
"If I'm not mistaken, the four of you have been to the ancient tomb and got dirty things."
Under the light of the flashlight, Le Yun turned a blind eye when she saw the nervous expressions of the other three. She did not mean to test them out with any nonsense, she just told the truth.
Sweat broke out from the nervous noses of the three black pot heads, and they looked at Master Ao cautiously.
But Master Ao felt nervous and quickly bowed slightly with one hand: "My dear friend, I would like to hear the details."
"The old gentleman may have misunderstood. The unclean things I mentioned have nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but refer to you being poisoned by the poison in the ancient tomb."
Seeing the subtle expressions on the faces of the other four people, Le Yun wanted to laugh. She was not an official and had no right to interfere with other people's careers. Besides, the self-proclaimed Taoist priest knew more about strange powers and the like. She knew how to see a doctor, but she couldn't see. The ghosts and gods that people talk about.
"Poisoned?" It was rare that they all said in unison, the voices of five people.
Yan Xing asked but kept his mouth shut. He was not doubting the little Loli's judgment, but he was surprised by the source of the poison. What kind of tomb was equipped with poison to prevent theft?
As for the four people, well, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. If you rob too many tombs, you will be punished one day. Poisoning is the retribution for them. He has no sympathy.
"Well, it's just poisoning, a very sinister poison."
Le Yun was kind enough to clarify the doubts: "That kind of poison is extremely difficult to cultivate. It can only exist in large ancient tombs. If you guessed correctly, you encountered a pool with liquid in the ancient tomb, right?"
"Yes." The four of them nodded in affirmative.
Master Ao added: "That ancient tomb is extremely weird. It has all kinds of formations and mechanisms. There is a large pool in a passage, blocking the entire road, so you can only pass by water."
"The water in the pool should be black or purple, right?"
"It's a bit more black and purple." Four Eyes and Monkey Spirit Heiguotou recalled it to confirm.
"That's not ordinary water, it's human blood. What you're getting is not water, but a bath of blood."
Le Yun looked at the four unlucky people with sympathy. Poor people, if they take a bath of blood in the ancient tomb, they will probably have nightmares for a long time in the future.
"!" The four-eyed black pot head of the monkey spirit shuddered intelligently, his hair stood on end, and he couldn't even breathe.
Master Ao's back bones were numb for a while. No wonder he looked at the pool of water that was indescribably gloomy and evil. However, there were pursuers behind him. In order to escape, he knew that the pool was very evil, so he had to jump into it and swim across it. .
Afterwards, he met the monkey spirits and learned that the monkey spirits had also drowned in the pond to escape. The four people who escaped from the ancient tomb alive had all drowned in the pond.
At that time, the monkey spirit and his party also lost their companions, leaving only the three people now. He looked at their auras and colors, and found that the three people were all possessed by evil spirits, making the hall dim and their luck poor.
Now it is known that he has also been invaded by evil spirits, but because he has the luck of his master, it is not so obvious, and he may not be aware of it himself.
Master Ao swallowed his saliva: "Is the blood pool poisonous?"
"Yes," Le Yun once again gave an affirmative answer: "I have read ancient books and recorded a kind of sinister poison, which can also be called corpse poison. It uses the blood of young girls as a pool and the flesh and blood of thousands of people to nourish the source of the poison.
The source of the poison is a kind of tiny bug, which modern science calls bacteria. The corpse poison breeds from the pile of rotting flesh and blood. When the small bug eats the corpse flesh, it then enters the blood pool to reproduce.
After the corpse poisonous insects are developed, they do not need to provide new food from the outside world. They have their own biological chain. The old corpse poisonous insects die, and the new corpse poisonous insects eat the corpses of the dead corpse poisonous insects. This cycle continues.
Therefore, even if there is no meat in the blood pool, as long as the blood pool does not dry up, the corpse poison will not be destroyed.
Generally speaking, corpse poison cannot leave the blood pool for too long.
If you don't come into contact with the water in the blood pool, it will be fine. If you drip into the pool, the corpse poison will enter the body along the wounds, mouth, eyes and nose.
Of course, corpse-raising poison requires tens of thousands of people to be buried with it, and it takes more than a thousand years to develop.
So by visual inspection, the ancient tomb you are going to must be a large tomb from the slavery era, at least a large tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period. The owner of the tomb is either a king or a warlock. Only immortals existed in that period, and complex large tombs can be built with thousands of materials. It is also reasonable for Wan's slaves to be buried with him. ”
Yan Xing quietly touched his back. Isn't it scary? Thousands of people were buried together, using human blood as a pool. The slave owners' burial system was inhumane and they deserved to have their graves dug up.
The monkey spirit and the four-eyed black pot head also visited the ancient tombs and saw the burial pits. However, now they heard from the little girl that thousands of people were buried with them, and it felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice water on them, making them feel cold from head to toe.
How terrible!
They just got some ancient objects by accident, and they guessed that there might be an ancient tomb near the place where the object appeared, so they went to look for it. Their hard work paid off. They found a passage that appeared due to the collapse of the mountain and prepared to fight.
There were originally four of them, but after entering the fight, they spent three days without finding the way. They strayed into a passage. One of their companions touched a mechanism, fell into a trap, and stayed in the fight forever. It was not even possible to take away the corpses of his companions, because those who fell into the trap were shot into a hornet's nest by arrows and were beaten into pulp by thousands of pounds of rocks.
After losing a companion, they no longer had the intention to explore the tomb. When they were withdrawing, they encountered corpse soldiers and fled all the way. After escaping for a day and night, they were still in the ancient tomb and could no longer find a way to enter the battle.
While escaping, they passed through a pool and stepped on some pits of corpses. Later, they met Master Ao, and the four of them walked together.
Thanks to Master Ao, he escaped many crises, but in the end he still did not escape the fate of falling into the trap of the agency and fell into the underground river.
Thinking about it now, their trip to the ancient tombs was equivalent to walking around Naihe Bridge several times. The head was attached to the belt and could fall off at any time.
The four-eyed monkey spirit Hei Guotou was covered in chills and was cold from the inside out. If they could survive, they vowed never to fight again!
Master Ao's expression changed several times. Corpse poison, the poison of Yin, is evil, but it is not evil. He can exorcise evil spirits, but he cannot detoxify.
After a silence, he barely suppressed his emotions and asked calmly: "My little friend, what will happen after being poisoned by corpse poison?"
It was a matter of life and death for his family. The monkey spirit Heiguotou put aside his sadness and pricked up his ears. "There are no symptoms at first after being poisoned by corpse poison. The first year after corpse poison enters the body is the reproduction period. The mother body of the poisonous insect lurks in the flesh and blood to reproduce its offspring. There is nothing different about humans, except that the blood is thinner and the blood activity factors are greater. Human body temperature Relatively low, those with poor physical fitness will have insufficient energy and get tired easily
In the second year, the corpse poison larvae emerge from the eggs, develop to a certain number, and invade the bones and brain, feeding on the bone marrow and brain marrow. Only then will pain appear. It takes about a year for the corpse poison to absorb the essence of the human body. At that time, The time of death of a person.
Before the corpse poison sinks into the bones, it is still somewhat beneficial to the human body. Generally, minor poisons and ailments will be swallowed up by the corpse poison. People are less likely to catch colds and have no minor illnesses.
I'm not sure whether it can be detected with modern medical standards. I guess if something is wrong, it will be defined as anemia and calcium deficiency. Later symptoms will be blood vessel blockage, brain atrophy, or hydrocephalus. ”
Corpse poison is too old. Le Yun has never seen it with her own eyes or confirmed that anyone has been poisoned by corpse poison before, so she dare not speculate whether modern high-tech medical machinery can detect it 100%.
"Three years?" Siyan murmured to himself, his face pale and pale.
The expressions of the monkey spirit and the black pot head were also very bad. According to the little girl, after being poisoned by corpse poison, you can only live for three years at most. Once a person knows his life span, it will definitely feel uncomfortable.
The feeling of despair emerged from their hearts again, and they did not even dare to ask if it could be saved. The poison brought out from the ancient tombs was an unknown disease, and modern medicine may not be able to save it.
Those who don’t know are fearless, those who know are fearful!
Fearing the unprecedented virus, the deflated ball of the four-eyed monkey's black pot avatar suddenly withered, and his eyes lost their sparkle and became lifeless.
Master Ao sat like a stone statue, and after a long while he asked quietly: "How did my friend diagnose that we were infected with corpse poison?"
"The old gentleman is surprised that I just said something without feeling my pulse, right?"
Le Yun smiled and was not angry at being questioned: "I don't need to diagnose the pulse, because each of the four of you has wounds on your body, and the smell of corpse poison remains. You can't smell it now, but you will probably be able to smell it next year." I smell it myself. When I sweat, my sweat has a sweet and fishy fragrance, which is the most attractive to mosquitoes.
There are no mosquitoes here. When you get out of here and there are mosquitoes in spring and summer, where will you stop? As long as you are around, the mosquitoes will never patronize others without you. ”
The ability to detect diseases by looking at the breath and recognizing the disease by smelling the smell must be done by those with high medical skills. Where did the young girl come from the sect of the master, so she is so proficient in reading, hearing and asking questions at a young age?
Master Ao kept guessing in his mind and did not reply in time. He lowered his eyes slightly and heard the little girl's crisp voice again: "Among the four of you, the young uncle with the white face is the most seriously injured. The main injury is on the left back shoulder. The back was probably injured by the ancient tomb mechanism. The hidden weapon in the mechanism was not clean and the wound was suppurating
The black-faced uncle’s main injury was on his right arm, with a bloody gash about three inches long; in addition——”
The little girl paused, looking at the four of them with bright black eyes, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Well, it's hard to tell the location of an injury on someone's body. The pain of the injury with chrysanthemums all over the ground can easily drive people crazy.
The old man was injured on the left chest, and he was the least seriously injured among the four. It was probably scratched by the creatures in the ancient tomb, and the wound was also infected.
The least injured person was the handsome old man selling antiques. He was only slightly injured, and the only area that needed attention was the back of his neck. ”
"..." When the little Lolita mentioned that the chrysanthemums were covered with bruises, Yan Xing almost stopped laughing. Unfortunately, someone hurt the chrysanthemums. Haha, it's really hard to talk about it.
The white-faced man's face suddenly turned red, and he was the one with the broken anus!
While exploring the ancient tomb, another companion mistakenly stepped on a trap and fell into a trap. Although he ran fast and escaped death, his back was inevitably wounded by a hidden arrow, and his buttocks were scratched by swords emerging from the ground. For a moment.
Monkey Spirit Heiguotou was so shocked that he forgot to breathe. How did she know where the injuries on their bodies were?
Master Ao could no longer remain calm, and looked at the little girl in horror, into her beautiful dark almond-shaped eyes. His mind was shaken, and he no longer dared to show any sign of neglect. He straightened his back and put the compass between his hands. On his legs, he made the Jianghu ritual hand with both hands: "I'm sorry, I am a master of the medical sect. Do you dare to ask, but I am a master of the immortal medical sect?"
"You're welcome!" In Le Yun's eyes, the old man's hand gestures were divided. She saw clearly, and she clasped her fists calmly: "My family has inherited traditional Chinese medicine, and I have to have a senior to teach me medical skills. That senior has long since faded away from the world and forgotten He gave me a secular name and never mentioned where his master came from. Therefore, I don’t know the immortal medical school that the old gentleman mentioned, and I don’t know what sect my master is from.”
Damn it, how does she know what sect she is from? Her first teacher in medicine was her grandfather. After that, she inexplicably inherited countless medical knowledge in her mind. She didn't know which master of the space left it behind, and the senior who left the jade slips didn't leave a name. How could she tell?
Finding the source is the most troublesome thing. If anyone asks her where her medical skills come from, even if she has a delicate mind and a eloquent tongue, it will be difficult for her to tell the whole story.
I can’t explain clearly, so I can only pretend to be mysterious.
Although it is wrong to lie, you must remain mysterious when necessary. Le Yun's heart is strong enough, and she can tell half-truths and half- lies as if they are true. She is calm and breathless, and she keeps vomiting in her heart. Why must it be so? I want to ask what family or sect a person comes from?
It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white. If it can catch mice, it is a good cat. No matter where it comes from, if it can cure diseases and save people, it is a good doctor. A hero does not care about his origin, understand?
Master Ao felt that the young Taoist friend might not want to mention the sect after entering the world, but in his heart he confirmed that she was a disciple of the Immortal Medicine Sect. Only the disciples of the Immortal Medicine Sect have amazing medical skills. They don't need to diagnose the pulse, but can diagnose diseases by just looking at people's Qi.
The young fellow Taoist didn't want to say anything, and he didn't force it. He bowed deeply and said, "It turns out that the master is an expert outside the world. Since I don't know how to talk about seniority, I asked someone to call me, young fellow Taoist, because I am older. I'll invite you too." On behalf of my fellow Taoist disciple, Ao He, a disciple of Duanmu Songzi from Tianji Gate in Altun Mountain, conveyed the order to the Master to send his greetings. ”
"Mr. Lao Lao, I would like to remember my master. I also ask the old man to see my master and convey my greetings on his behalf, and say hello to the old man, Le Yun, who is an unknown person. I hope that the Taoism will last forever, and that I will attain enlightenment as soon as possible."
Le Yun wanted to faint. She hated the cumbersome etiquette and the polite politeness. It would kill her brain cells.
Another hidden sect!
Yan Xing was originally an outsider, but when the beer-bellied man reported to the sect, he secretly opened the door. Little Loli was born in a secluded spiritual sect, and here comes another secluded sect. One by one, they all joined the world. Is there something wrong? What big thing is going to happen?
"The little Taoist will definitely convey the blessings of the little Taoist." The little Taoist volunteered to sign up for his number, indicating that he was willing to get acquainted with him. Master Ao was happy, and his tone immediately became warm and true: "Little Taoist, I just mentioned corpse poison. Is there any way to detoxify this corpse poison?”
The four-eyed black pot head of the monkey spirit had long been confused by the sects that Master Ao and the little girl kept talking about. They had never heard of the Tiansmen sect or the Xian sect, but Duandou and his party had heard of the Xiajiu sect. There are several sects in the world, which are also spread by word of mouth, and there is no way to verify it.
Because I didn’t understand them, I just felt that Master Ao and the little girl were so tall, mysterious, and fantastical. I stared at them so hard that my eyes almost dropped to the ground, and I just looked at them straight.
When the topic turned to corpse poison again, the four people's attention returned to reality and they felt sad.
"All things are mutually reinforcing each other, and there is a solution to corpse poison, but..."
"Just what?" Before the little girl finished speaking, Si Yan and Hei Guotou asked eagerly.
When his companion interrupted someone midway, Master Ao smiled apologetically at the little girl to express his apology.
"It's just that the generation is different. In the past, there was an antidote to the corpse poison, but now it depends on luck." Le Yun didn't care about someone interrupting her. The poisoning of those few people was related to their family and life. They were anxious, so it was understandable for them to interrupt in the middle. Original.
"How do you say this?" In order to prevent the three companions from interrupting, Master Ao quickly took over the conversation.
"In the past, spiritual energy was abundant, and rare and exotic animals roamed the ground. The modern environment has been polluted, and many things have become extinct. The same goes for medicinal materials that can detoxify corpses and may not be found."
"What do you need?"
"Ancient Tomb Corpse Poison is a yin poison that needs to be restrained by yang things. The yang thing is the place closest to the sun or close to the Flame Mountain. The main medicine requires a fire dragon. The fire dragon has long been extinct, so we can only find fire dragon relatives. Lizards, as well as dozens of medicinal materials grown in volcanoes or red-flamed deserts, together with commonly used medicines for the four seasons, take the first spring rain after the beginning of spring, the water from deep wells on the first day after the beginning of summer, and the first frost water after the beginning of autumn. The first snow after the beginning of winter is mixed with water to boil medicine, and then it can be solved
Even if the names of the required medicinal materials are told to you, the ones you find may not be usable. The places where the medicinal materials grow are also divided into yang and yang, and there are also age differences.
Some medicinal materials are so delicate that a person who is poisoned by corpse poison will die if touched. There are also several medicinal materials that need to be fed with the blood of boys and girls after being harvested to prevent them from becoming ineffective. ”
The little girl said calmly, and the four-eyed monkey spirit Heiguotou was confused at that time. According to that, doesn't it mean that they will definitely die?
