Chapter 68: The Engraver (D)

The two of us sat quietly for ten minutes, and Mr. Fang opened his mouth again: "A few years ago, I had a friend who collected a piece of amber in Tibet, and sealed a wasp in it, and this amber was also born, and he played with it in his hand every day, and after a long time, he always felt that the wasp inside would move, very small movements, and he thought it was his hallucination. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a few months later, his hands became more and more numb, his blood vessels burst out, turned blue-purple, he couldn't hold anything, and he went to the hospital for a check-up, but he was infected with bee venom. But there was not a single crack in his hand, and the doctor thought it strange. But my friend suddenly realized what was wrong, and went home and soaked the amber in water, and the next day, the water in the teapot turned a dull yellow. Reborn this thing, corpse qi and popularity feed each other, the amber is originally poisonous insects, it is possible to ooze venom, but it is too impossible to raise poisonous insects from rebirth, this is just Professor Liang's carving, unless it is ......" Mr. Fang said here, but stopped.

"Unless someone deliberately did it, using these five poisonous carvings as Gu, and using the evil qi of rebirth to raise Gu and harm people?"

Mr. Fang shook his head, "Gu poison is being raised, if it is not cultivated, the Gu will be devoured by it, if this rebirth is used as a Gu, wouldn't it be raised for thousands of years and passed on for ten generations, not to mention that it is not easy to make up for these five poisons to be reborn, and it will take a thousand years to harm people, what a big hatred this must be? Who can predict whether the enemy family can be found after a thousand years?"

"Maybe no one raises Gu, aren't you talking about rebirth and accumulation of corpses to nourish qi? In my opinion, there are many examples of ancient things turning into essence, if this rebirth itself gathers spirits into consciousness, it is a living creature with perception and consciousness, then Professor Liang just coincidentally gave it the form of five poisons, and it cultivated into a petrified poisonous insect according to this form?" My guess actually has a lot of loopholes, but in my opinion, it is the only direction that can explain this strange case.

Mr. Fang shook his head again, "The way of your family's ghosts and gods, I will listen to it as a story, the saying that the rebirth and cultivation of qi and gathering spirits is true, there are only a few people who can be psychic, if you want to be able to become a stone body, how can you be like a monkey Sun, cultivate a hundred and eight thousand years, right? But Professor Liang carved that thing for only a year, and he was reborn to cultivate Gu poison in this form, it was only a few months, and he could still use this poison to poison five living people, is this possible?"

It's impossible, I know that, but there must be places that I have overlooked, places that I have not explored, and there are places that lie ahead. I know this in my heart as well.

When I came out of Mr. Fang's house, I called the Cao team and told him that Professor Liang's few things were reborn jade, and that it had been confirmed, and that I hoped that he could arrange some manpower to check whether there was a cultural relics dealer from Hunan and Chongqing who had sold reborn materials in the underground market of cultural relics in Beijing a year ago? The Cao team agreed and told me that tomorrow I would arrange for a few witnesses from the case to come to the brigade to learn more about the situation, and if I have time, I can listen to it together and see what I find.

The next day, when I arrived at the criminal police brigade, there were already seven or eight people sitting in the conference room, businessmen, cadres, and nannies, but it seemed that there could be no connection between these people. Team Cao pulled me into the small conference room and questioned them one by one, and I sat in the corner and listened to their statements in silence. Because they came in one by one, and asked the next one after the investigation, the witnesses were obviously a little nervous, coupled with the appearance of the Cao team not angry and arrogant, this investigation completely turned into a bittersweet meeting, in addition to trying to clear up the relationship with the case, the witnesses talked about the hardships of their lives with tears, and their loyalty to the country and the people, I just want to laugh when I hear it.

However, after asking this circle, at least a few facts can be proven, one is that several victims do not know each other at all, and there is no intersection, and the case is only because they all have a carving of Mr. Liang's five poisons, some of which are ready to be taken out for sale, some are collected for self-appreciation, some are gifts from others, and one is a friend in distress when Professor Liang was devolved. The second is that the time of death of the deceased is around the time of the child, when the yin qi is at its peak, and they are all alone in the room, and no one witnesses the process of death. The third is that when the deceased died, he was playing with those five poison carvings. Fourth, the deceased was in a trance about a week before his death, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, the only difference was which little nanny, but she still took the carvings of the master's house to her room and often locked herself in the house. These clues can confirm my previous speculation, the only thing that can't be solved is the source of the rebirth, and how it was refined into poison and committed a murder in a month, these are the only feasible ways I am afraid that I can only try it myself.

After tossing all afternoon, Team Cao was also very tired, and it was difficult for him to make a sound, but those witnesses were in high spirits, how could they let him leave, just surround him in the conference room and talk non-stop. I had no choice but to arrest him and tell him that there was an important witness who was not present. Team Cao circled his head, looking confused. "Professor Liang, you think that although he can't open his mouth anymore, he must have carved the manuscript, and if he is lucky, he can find creative notes or something, maybe there will be clues. Team Cao patted his head and raised his finger at me, and was dragged back by the witnesses.

I got home, looked through a few more volumes of the Xuanmen genealogy, and slowly made up my mind. Our clan has studied a lot of arts, and it is also very thorough. Chinese magic has a long history, although the ultimate goal is to become an immortal, but more often use the method of outer dan, that is, alchemy and medicine. In my opinion, compared to the Inner Dan cultivation, the Outer Dan is more scientific, at least using a lot of knowledge and techniques in chemistry, biology, and microbiology. But the tragedy is that the magicians often take on the work of the emperor, and after the Dan is refined, they can't try it themselves, so what should the emperor do if you eat it first and become an immortal? Is it following you? This is a great disrespectful charge. Therefore, there were many emperors who were poisoned by pills in history, and when the emperor collapsed, the monks were also unlucky, and there was no chance for the development of this pill. The lack of a trial-and-error mechanism has also led to thousands of years of primitive chemical research, and only gunpowder, an unbearable technological invention, has been produced. But the magic is inseparable from the poison, so while studying the magic, there are a lot of prescriptions and medicines for detoxification at home, especially when I often go to the tomb, and the elixir of corpse poison is very complete, which is also the confidence that I dare to try it by myself. He turned over the elixir that he thought was useful, put it on the table, looked at the time, and when it was over, he took out the centipede.

The detached jade on the palm of the hand is more oily and translucent when it is in the child, and the centipede in the center of the material and the background color of the jade are also more distinct, and the centipede is not carved out at all, but it seems to be lying on the jade material, and it will run away at any time. As the material absorbed the temperature of the palm, a layer of mist spread all over the body, and I noticed that the tiny water droplets on the surface of the jade material had begun to gradually take on a pale pink color. I took a magnifying glass and looked closely, and I couldn't help but sigh at Professor Liang's genius. The dark red liquid accumulated in the chalcedony is like the blood of a centipede, under the effect of temperature difference, it flows slowly, injecting life into the centipede. Of course, when people observe small things, they will subconsciously magnify them, and during this time, they will feel the trembling of objects, more because of the imperceptible tremor of the hand itself, and some from hallucinations.

Of course, there is also a peculiarity of this carving, that is, when you observe it, you will gradually lose your sense of time, although it does not have the surging and deranged feeling of Xuanmen, but unconsciously, the passage of time is still beyond your imagination. When I looked at my watch again, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, the Cao team rushed to the house and took me straight to Professor Liang's carving workshop.
