Chapter Eighty-Five: Bao'an Xing (II)
After Weng Pingping dropped this sentence to me, he walked towards the villa first.
By the time I entered the living room with the big bag in my hand, Uncle Cheng and the others had already sat down.
Putting the things in my hand on the table in the living room, I also sat on the sofa very familiarly.
The four of us men sat together, and Qin Yue and Gou Tang sat opposite us.
"This time, Mr. Weng Ping will go with us. β
After I sat down, Qin Yue's words were obviously said to me.
"Let's put aside the matter of Feng'an for the time being, this time, our target is the King of Dian. β
"This time is different from the tomb visit, we are looking for a city, a country that has disappeared for thousands of years with almost no history to refer to. β
Hearing Qin Yue's words, a wave of unexplained excitement suddenly rose in my heart.
Adventure? It seems to be much more exciting than a grave visit.
After Qin Yue said this to all of us, he looked at Weng Ping, and Weng Ping also stood up from the sofa under Qin Yue's gaze.
"There are me, Miss Qin and Zhang Bing who witnessed the death of the driver, Miss Qin found a Gu worm in the body of the deceased, and after my research on this Gu worm, I can now confirm that Xu Qiang's cause of death was caused by this Gu worm. β
Hearing Weng Ping's words, the excitement in my heart was completely extinguished.
"In the body of this Gu worm, I have found at least three or more toxins that can directly kill people. β
"The first toxin, anticoagulants, once in the human body, prevents the body's hemostatic function and can directly lead to death. β
"The second toxin, I will temporarily name it Venom, this kind of venom carried by Gu worms, as long as we accidentally infiltrate a drop into the body, it will directly cause us to have nine kinds of pain. β
"Convulsions, burns, rashes, swelling, nausea, abdominal pain, headaches, until death from shock. β
When Weng Ping said this to us in his trademark hoarse voice, I saw Gou Tang sitting next to Qin Yue, and her face turned white.
"The third toxin, and maybe I shouldn't call it a toxin, a germ to be exact. Once this germ penetrates into our body, it will lurk in our body, although this bacterium is not directly fatal, but it can infect all organs in our body until it fails and dies. β
"Fourth!"
This Weng Ping didn't give any of us a chance to breathe and digest this information.
"This fourth toxin is a bit like acetylene, and it can cause an adult to lose all mobility in an instant, if they are unsuspected. That is, what we commonly call weakness and powerlessness. β
At this moment, after hearing these words from Weng Ping, I felt that I had become numb, numb waiting for Weng Ping to say the fifth toxin.
But under my almost numbness, Weng Ping sat back on the sofa.
"Gone?"
Seeing Weng Ping sitting back on the sofa, I looked at Weng Ping stupidly and asked.
"It's gone. β
And after I think Weng Ping asked this sentence, I saw Uncle Cheng and the others all looking at me one by one, including Qin Yue and Gou Tang.
Under the attention of Qin Yue and everyone, I opened my mouth, but I didn't spit out a word.
Silent!
After Weng Ping introduced the four toxins to us, the six of us all fell into a deep silence.
In this deep silence, I saw Qin Yue get up from the sofa.
Stand up, and look at each of us.
"Come, I want to tell you about this Dian king. β
At the moment when Qin Yue's voice sounded, all of us looked at Qin Yue.
"First of all, I'm sorry to tell you, about this Dian king, there is no record of this Dian king in the five encyclicals left by my ancestors of Mimen. β
"So I can only learn about this king of Dian through some wild histories or wild writings that are only extant. Last night, after my screening and identification of these wild histories and wild writings, I summed up several pieces of information that are extremely credible for this Dian king. β
Qin Yue's voice was calm, calm and not mixed with any emotion.
"First, the king of Dian is good at raising insects, to be precise, the entire Dian kingdom is breeding and collecting all kinds of insects for this preference of the king of Dian, we call it the kingdom of Dian, it is better to call it the country of insects. β
"Second, the king of Dian is good at alchemy, this section is clearly recorded in history, in the short few years when the Dian Kingdom paid tribute to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the most tribute paid by the King of Dian was all kinds of pills. β
"Thirdβ"
Qin Yue paused slightly when he told us this.
This slight pause was as if Qin Yue was also distinguishing the authenticity of this third record about the King of Dian.
"This third person I'm going to talk to, I think after I say his name, you all know. β
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I was immediately curious, could it be that Qin Yue couldn't even know me after saying this person's name.
"I have seen an account in an unknown wild history that mentions the alchemy of the Dian king. β
Qin Yue didn't directly say the name of this person who seemed to be well-known, but he said such a paragraph to us first.
Is this ruining our appetite? I didn't expect Qin Yue to do this.
"Xu Fu, the owner of this wild history, once put forward a bold guess, he guessed that Xu Fu, a scholar of the Qin State, had traveled to the Dian Kingdom by mistake, and this alchemy technique was brought into the Dian Kingdom by Xu Fu. β
After Qin Yue said this to us, everyone in the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Xu Fu, this Xu Fu you are talking about is Xu Fu who was sent overseas by Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir of life?"
Looking at Qin Yue, I asked Qin Yue with wide eyes.
"Well, it's this Xu Fu. β
After getting Qin Yue's answer, I was stunned.
Crazy, which crazy ancients dared to make such a shocking speculation?
Such a madman did not leave his name in the vast river of history, but unfortunately, I really feel sorry for this crazy ancient.
"Is it credible? I mean, is the speculation in this wild history credible?"
Gou Tang looked at Qin Yue with a pair of smart eyes wide, and there was a kind of disbelief in his voice.
"It should be credible, Xu Fu went to sea and never returned, and the Kingdom of Dian was only discovered during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If we connect all these limited clues about the records of the Dian king, we can conclude at least three points. β
"Good insects, alchemy, and scheming, this Dian king who disappeared out of thin air in history should have these three characteristics. This is also the closest we have come to the King of Dian. β
"And my intuition tells me that the nameless tomb master we found in Feng'an, what he wrote on his epitaph is by no means untargeted, you know, this tomb owner is also a master of the art of Qimen Dunjia. β
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I couldn't help but think of this nameless tomb master.
Seven years, this guy spent a full seven years studying the fate of my "ancestors", and now I also know that Qin Yue, Gu Yicheng, Uncle Cheng, Gou Xilai, and even Gou Tang are also burdened with this kind of fate.
"I know that. β
A clear voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.
Gou Tang!
It was Gou Tang who interrupted my thoughts.
"I agree with Qin Yue, a Qimen master of the Tang Dynasty spent seven years writing down the names and kingdoms of four people who disappeared out of thin air, and the object of his research is the fate of Zhang Bing's ancestors. β
"The word fate is mysterious, but no matter how mysterious it is, it can't be separated from fate itself, I think this Qimen must have found clues or others closely related to fate in these four kingdoms and characters. β
Gou Tang stood up from the sofa with a pout after saying this to himself.
"Disappearance may not be the truth, but hiding!"
As Gou Tang's last words fell, all of us almost looked at Gou Tang, who had just replaced Gou Xi to join our team, with a sudden look.
