PS: The second more votes, please support more.
Although Mr. Anderson is very secretive, everyone understands and knows that the place he is talking about is the Golden Triangle. It is densely forested, the roads are rugged, and the traffic is blocked, and the governments of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos are beyond the reach of the whip. As for the powerful people in Mr. Anderson's mouth, nine times out of ten they are the big local drug lords, but they are the forces that hold military power and can openly confront the governments of the three countries.
Now, in the process of exploration, the son of a powerful man is actually bitten by a poisonous snake and may die at any time, then the serious consequences are self-evident. If a person dies, whether it is an accident or not, the powerful people will definitely take Mr. Anderson and his party under the knife and let them bury their sons......
"In a very critical situation, among the entourage of the powerful man's son, someone suddenly took out a horn like this." Mr. Anderson had a bit of exclamation on his face: "Then he sawed the horns into pieces and mashed them into powder, and then mixed them with water...... It was like mud and was smeared on the wounds of the sons of powerful men. ”
"At that time, our doctors protested vehemently, thinking it was murder. But those people threatened with guns, and everyone had no choice but to watch them treat them like this......"
Speaking of this, Anderson's expression was complicated: "Please forgive me for using the word healing, because after such a simple rescue, the son of the powerful man actually survived, and most of the snake venom has been dissolved, and after injecting our medicine, he will immediately pass the dangerous period." It's incredible, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it was true. ”
"Actually, until now, the doctors who were with us at the time have not accepted that fact."
Mr. Anderson smiled wryly, "Whenever we mentioned it, he always angrily said that it was an illusion, a hallucination that everyone had collectively appeared. Or maybe the medicine we injected before had an effect, or maybe the son of a powerful man has a special physique. Immunity to snake venom ......"
Mr. Anderson sighed to himself, then blinked, and said in surprise: "You don't seem surprised at all, don't you think I'm lying?" ”
"Anyway, it's a bit of a surprise, but it's acceptable."
Yu Feibai touched his chin and said, "And I'm suspecting that the horn used to detoxify is likely to be a rhino horn." After all, in our ancient literature, there is a saying that rhino horn can detoxify. It is said that when the rhino horn is carved into a cup, the poisonous liquid is poured into the rhino horn cup. The venom will boil like boiling water, and the toxicity will be gone. ”
"There is also a legend that rhino horn cups, like ivory chopsticks, can be used for poison testing. When a liquid containing toxins is put into the cup, it will foam at the white foam, which is a warning. Wang Guan smiled: "Of course, legends are just legends, and they must not be fully believed." Mr. Anderson, since you think that horn can detoxify. Didn't you ask the powerful people about it? ”
"Asked." Mr. Anderson smiled bitterly: "But the powerful people ignored us, but thought that we had hurt his son, and directly deported us......
"Is it really the same as this horn?" Yu Feibai asked again: "Don't you read it wrong." ”
"Sure, yes." Mr. Anderson vows: "I watched while I sawed the horns and smashed them." It can't be said to be 100% the same. But there is also a ninety percent similarity. ”
"Yes."
Yu Feibai was skeptical, then turned his head and asked, "Chang Lao, what do you think?" ”
"If Anderson hadn't lied, I might have been 60% sure. Then now you are 90% sure. Chang Lao groaned: "This thing really may be the legendary blue rhino. ”
"Bi! Rhinoceros? Yu Feibai said inexplicably: "What is it?" ”
"Like you said, a type of rhino horn." Chang Lao smiled and said, "But you must know that in ancient China. Rhino horn is not the same as rhino horn. ”
"We get that." Wang nodded and said: "In ancient times, there was a lack of understanding of various animals, and even imagined all kinds of magical creatures, such as Tongtian rhino, unicorn horn or something, maybe it was just sheep's horns and deer antlers. ”
"So, this bihino ......" Yu Feibai said disappointedly: "Is it really a sheep's horn?" ”
"Who told you it was a ram's horn?" Chang Lao shook his head and smiled: "If I don't say it, and you don't look through the ancient books, I guess you won't be able to guess what kind of animal horn this is in your lifetime." ”
"Not really." Yu Feibai naturally didn't believe it: "I just need to list the horned animals and compare them one by one, and sooner or later I will know the answer." ”
"Unless the animal is extinct." Wang contemplated a possibility.
"It's not extinct, it's still there." Chang Lao smiled: "And all over the world......"
"Chang Lao, don't sell it anymore." Yu Feibai hurriedly urged: "You see that Mr. Anderson is in a hurry, hurry up and reveal the answer." What is the origin of this bihino rhino? ”
"Maybe you don't believe me." Chang Lao hesitated: "The record of the blue rhino was first seen in Guo Pu's commentary on the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The snake horn of the ancient capital, called the blue rhino. In other words, the so-called birhino is actually the horn of a large snake. ”
"Snake Horn ......"
Everyone was stunned, and Yu Feibai opened his eyes wide and said, "Chang Lao, are you sure you're not joking?" ”
"Who's kidding."
Chang Lao explained: "Not only the commentary on the Mountains and Seas, but also the narrative of the Ming Huidian, the snake horn out of Hami. There are also records in Cao Zhao's Gegu Essentials, bone rhino and blue rhino. The color is like light jasper, slightly yellow, and its literature and science are like horns. The sound of the buckle is as clear as jade, the grinding and scraping smell is fragrant, and the burning is not smelly. The most valuable, can reduce swelling and relieve pain. ”
"In addition, it is the pine desert Ji Wenyun of Hongmai, the bone is rhinoceros, the rhino is not very big, the pattern is like ivory, with yellow. Those who make knife targets think that they are priceless treasures. Chang Lao talked eloquently and made a final addition: "You may not know much about the people I just mentioned. But Li Shizhen, you should have heard of it. ”
"Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, the author of the Compendium of Materia Medica?" Wang Guan asked.
"That's right, it's him." Chang Lao nodded and said: "Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, there is also a detailed record of snake horns. Bone rhino (also known as bone du) blue rhino, according to Tao Jiucheng ploughing clouds, bone rhino, the horn of the big snake also. As a Gu poison, it is said that its antidote to Gu poison is like a rhino horn. The Tang book has an ancient capital country that is also produced here, and the bones are like the ancient capital. ”
According to Li Shizhen's account, this snake horn is poisonous. However, it can fight poison with poison, which has the effect of reducing swelling and poison and detoxifying all kinds of poison. Chang Lao frowned and said: "But you also know that because there is no physical evidence, everyone has a distrustful attitude towards the literature about the snake horn, thinking that it is just the beautiful imagination of the ancients." Even most people think that the blue rhinoceros is just a variety of rhinoceros horn, a very valuable thing, not a big snake horn. ”
"Still. I think. There are so many documents that have been recorded, especially Li Shizhen, when compiling the Compendium of Materia Medica, he must have studied it carefully, and he would not copy some illusory things. Chang Lao was convinced: "So I think this is very likely to be the legendary snake horn and blue rhino." ”
"Is it really a snake's horn?"
Yu Feibai was very stunned, and said very happily: "Priceless treasure." ”
"Of course."
Chang Lao smiled: "As we all know, the snake is the original image of the dragon, and the difference between the dragon and the snake is whether it has horns and claws. In this sense. The horn of the snake is the horn of the dragon, and you say that it is not a priceless treasure. ”
"Definitely."
Yu Feibai was excited, but also a little troubled and said: "Chang Lao, you also know that my psychological tolerance is very low. Don't fool me. My little heart can't stand the ups and downs......"
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
Chang Lao said angrily: "You go back and ask Ling Xi to see what he says." ”
"Chang Lao, look at what you said, I definitely believe your old judgment."
Yu Feibai said. Immediately looked back and smiled: "But today's exhibition is indeed almost over, and we are planning to go back...... Wang Guan, Tsinghua, you say yes. ”
"Uh... Well! Wang Guan nodded wisely.
"Alright. Don't pretend. Chang Lao waved his hand and said, "Just go, don't make such excuses." Take the things back and give Ling Xi a good look, and I'll go back to him to discuss and study. ”
"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Anderson, I'll invite you to dinner when I have time." Yu Feibai greeted him, and he rushed to drag Wang Guan and Tang Qinghua away.
"Yu ......"
Mr. Anderson naturally shouted, so that Yu Feibai ran faster when he heard the voice.
After a while, returning to the car, Tang Qinghua couldn't help but complain: "Why did you come and leave, I haven't seen the layout of the exhibition hall clearly." ”
"What's there to see." Yu Feibai said casually: "Anyway, that's the case, otherwise you can just dig up the person they set up the exhibition hall to Zhengyaxuan." ”
"Good idea." Tang Qinghua nodded and said, "I heard that their general manager is responsible for this matter, you can help me dig it." ”
"It's important to get down to business, and we'll talk about this kind of trivial matter later......"
At this time, Yu Feibai patted Tang Qinghua's shoulder and said with a straight face: "Besides, it's a trivial matter, I believe in your ability, and you can solve it by yourself, and you don't need me to go out personally." ”
"Get out!"
Tang Qinghua despised it, and then drove away slowly.
Not long after, back at the gate of the mansion, Yu Feibai ran towards the mansion where Mr. Qian lived at a speed of 100 meters, and shouted in a high-pitched voice in ecstasy before entering the courtyard gate: "Mr. Qian, come out quickly, I have picked up the baby." ”
"What a baby, the frizz that makes you make such a fuss."
At this time, Qian Lao was watering the flowers in the house, pruning some dead branches and leaves with scissors from time to time, and he was content.
"Priceless." Yu Feibai smiled: "The legendary dragon horn." ”
"Dragon's horns?" Qian Lao smiled and asked: "What dragon, the clouds and rain, the dragon that can show the hidden dragon?" ”
"Old Qian, don't listen to his nonsense." At this time, Wang Guan also followed, and chuckled: "It's not a dragon horn, but a snake horn, the horn of a big snake." ”
"Hey, how did you say that." Yu Feibai accused: "It's really boring. ”
"Bi Rhino!" Qian Lao was stunned, then put down the kettle for watering the flowers, and walked out of the flower garden lightly: "Is it a bihino that is as colored as jasper, can reduce swelling, relieve pain and turn poison?" ”
"yes, that's it." Yu Feibai nodded hurriedly, took out the things and presented them to Qian Lao...... (To be continued.) )
