Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Strange Baby
The terrain here is low, the canopy is dense, and the perennial decay and dampness nourished a large wave of ferns, but among the ferns, a fluorescent green face plate can be faintly seen, which is like the peach described in "Journey to the West", round and lovely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why we are frightened by the cute things, in addition to the dense ferns around and the lining of the face is terrible, another reason is because there are facial features on the face, which are small and exquisite, not obvious, it is like a newborn baby, with its eyes closed peacefully, and its small mouth is lightly closed, looking like I see pity. The fly in the ointment is that the fluorescent green around the baby is a bit scary, and the general mountain spirits are often accompanied by a terrible green light, and I don't know where this baby-like thing is.
Baocai frowned and looked at it, muttering, "Tsk...... It's really a person over thirty, and my brain is extremely dull, and I am grinding to death, where have I seen it?" he thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and reached out to touch the plate on his face.
I snapped, opened his hand, and said cautiously: "Damn, this thing looks terrifying, what if it's poisonous?" I looked around, found two branches, handed them to Bao Cai, and said, "Use some tools, it's too risky to catch them with your bare hands." ”
Baocai took the branch and said, "You should be cautious, but ...... This thing is in my mind...... It seems harmless...... I just can't remember what it is. ”
I squatted on the ground, looked at my face and plate, and speculated, "I have never seen this thing in our time, and I have never heard of it, could it be that you saw it in some ancient book?"
Bao Cai carefully broke some leaves on the side of the face plate, but he didn't expect that under the face of this strange thing, it was really like a baby, with a torso and similar underdeveloped limbs, which reminded me of a cartoon I watched when I was a child, "Ginseng Doll".
The baby's little short feet were stuck in the dirt, and he could be sure that it was a plant thing, and Bao Cai kept watching, and he repeated what I had just said: "I have seen it in ancient books...... I've seen ......."
He was in this problem, and the strength of his hand was not grasped well, and the branch suddenly pierced into the baby's torso, and this thorn, which resembled a rhizome plant, shook uncomfortably, as if it were alive, and the treasure was so frightened that he shrank his hand, and I was also startled, and said, "I really have aura, and I know that it hurts!"
Bao Cai trembled and swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and replied: "The plant has no nervous system and muscles, and its movement indicates that it contains actin in its body, which exists in the muscle fibers of animals, and is a reaction to the outside world, which is very rare in ordinary plants." ”
As I spoke, a foul smell of plants came out, and I covered my nose, took a step back, and said in disgust: "Are you sure this plant is harmless?
Baocai stared blankly at the thick limbs flowing from the belly of the human-faced doll, and suddenly, he looked back at me, with a shocked look, and said, "Son, master...... This smell woke me up!"
I was so smoked that I rolled my eyes and said, "It stinks so much, if you can't wake up, then it's really weird." ”
Baocai turned his head, continued to look at the human-faced doll, and said excitedly: "Alas...... You don't understand...... This...... This...... This ......"
I couldn't speak clearly when I heard him excitedly, so I hurriedly said, "What the hell, you are so excited that you stutter?"
Baocai took a deep breath and said: "There are peaches in the sky to prolong life, and there are Ganoderma lucidum in the ground to replenish qi and maintain health, these are some of the things that we know in modern times that have been sealed as immortals, but there is also a life-saving thing, which is rarely mentioned, it is said that it is scattered green, likes the yin tide environment, and it is commendable that it can only grow into a baby for thousands of years." As the saying goes, "form complements form", which resembles a baby, can purify the body of filthy energy, rejuvenate the internal organs, and help increase people's life expectancy. Ye Shili said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions and ordered him to find this kind of immortal object......"
I was amazed and said, "It's really fake...... If it really has such a miraculous effect, then we are not walking the dog Shi luck, and if it is sold in this era, will it be worth a lot of money?"
The treasure was still in the incredulity of seeing rare treasures, and he said absent-mindedly: "Selling? This is something that cannot be asked for even ten thousand gold, let's go back and burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva." ”
I saw that he was not even interested in making money, so I couldn't help but squeeze and said: "Come on, the value of many things has been inflated, since Ye Shili said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had asked Zhang Qian to find this face doll, then with their manpower and financial resources, it is impossible not to find it, if they want to find it, I haven't seen Emperor Wu prolong his life! What purifies the filthy qi in the body, I guess it is to detoxify you...... It's like a series of divine beasts and sacred grasses in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all of which are exaggerated...... Let's stop grinding, hurry up and find some herbs to stop bleeding and heal wounds quickly. ”
"Hey, Son, the ancient book I read, it's all real talent, do you know what this human face doll is called? It's called Goblin Fruit, it absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, combines the breath of the earth, and finally condenses into such a small baby. Ordinary plants are refined, what 'ginseng dolls', and the 'ginseng fruit' in Journey to the West are all human-like, they are all peerless treasures forged by God, I think if it really can't help people's lifespan, then for the internal injuries on Bajian and the Kushi, there is still a great benefit, and now if we want to move forward, everyone must wake up. "When it comes to his own expertise, treasure is especially serious.
However, if you think about it carefully, what he said is not unreasonable, but all the sacred herbs and fairy fruits described in ancient books are actually strange things, they are nourished and grown over the years, and they become essences over time, which is a precious treasure. Moreover, since this goblin fruit is not poisonous, if you take it back to Bajian and Kushi to heal their injuries, there may be some special curative effect.
Thinking of this, I looked at the goblin fruit and said, "The ginseng fruit and the ginseng doll are both treasures, and they are all particular about obtaining them, is there any way to take this goblin fruit, in case we don't take it well, it burrows into the ground......"
When Bao Cai heard this, he smiled and said: "Son, you are quite humorous, what is shown on TV is always put on TV, and it is not strange if you don't add some fantasy effects." As he spoke, he broke the branch into several pieces and pulled it into the soil where the goblin fruit was.
In the past, Baocai was the kind of opium ghost who was powerless and looked like he had smoked opium, but this time he dug out the mud, but he was full of energy, and he didn't gasp a few times. You must know that he fell down from the mountain stream before, and the whole person was very depressed, and suddenly became so energetic, I am a little unaccustomed to it.
I joked with him: "Hey, Bao Ye, I think you will be very energetic when you encounter something you like to do, when will you be above your field and take another doctorate, postdoc or something?"
Baocai didn't raise his head, and said, "Son, don't make fun of me, the reason why I am spiritual is because of ......" He suddenly stopped his movements, touched his chest, and then turned his head to look at me. (To be continued.) )
