Chapter 174: The Origin of the Spider
How could it be river water? Doesn't that mean...... I wasn't dreaming just now, everything I experienced was real?
In an instant, a thought appeared in my mind, the old man just said, the third master is too anxious, does that mean that the third master thinks that I can't do it alone, and came out to guide me again?
Is the mountain that the third master went on just now here a few decades ago?
I grabbed the old man, a little excited, and asked him, "Did you know that a poisonous spider is enough to make an entire tree rot with a drop of venom?" ”
I felt clearly the hand holding the old man's arm, and the old man seemed to tremble.
Without a trace, he pulled his arm out of my hand, sighed, and said, "How did you ever see that thing?" Could it be that the third child is still left? ”
Sure enough, this spider has something to do with the old man!
"When the third master came to this mountain, there were obviously still trees on this mountain, no, it should be said that the trees on the mountain were obviously alive, but later, why did they all die? I also saw a poisonous spider on the tree that the third master had raised before, so I guessed that the appearance of this place should be caused by those spiders. ”
The old man seemed surprised, and asked me again if the third child still had those spiders.
When I answered in the affirmative, the old man sighed again. The old man said that those spiders were actually cultivated when he was a child.
"At that time, I was young, and I didn't know how to do it, so I always liked these things, once I went to the mountains with the third child to play, and suddenly found a very poisonous spider, this spider bit the third person, and the third child was paralyzed on the spot, or I found the antidote, and saved the third child."
However, it is precisely because of the intensity of this poison that the old man suddenly became interested in this spider, he smuggled the spider back, and put several poisons with the spider, in the later things, the old man did not say it carefully, probably because he was afraid that I would steal the teacher and learn the art, and brought it in two or three sentences, which basically means that after in-depth research, he finally deepened the poison of the spider.
It's just that he won't tell me what kind of research method it is, and the intention can be imagined, probably because he is afraid that if I go astray one day, I will use the method he taught to do evil.
However, I envy this kind of talented and intelligent people, they can always use a lot less effort and suffer a lot less than others, but in the end, the achievement is beyond the reach of normal people.
For example, this old man, my uncle, he said that his master found him in a place called Yizhou in Shandong, when he was only five or six years old, but he had already begun to like strange things, such as poisonous snakes, such as toads.
It is precisely because of this that his brothers are named after the place, but his master is unwilling to give him the word "benefit".
Therefore, because the master was unwilling and couldn't think of another name, until now, this old man has no name.
He seemed to be rubbing something in his hand, and I couldn't tell if it was loss or indifference, he said, "It's okay, it's been decades anyway, and I haven't met anyone who can call me by name!" ”
The old man has liked poison since he was a child, but he didn't have the opportunity to contact Gu worms, it's a pity to think about the large string of poisonous Gu that we blew up under the mountain......
The old man said that the spider had no name, and that he had researched it himself when he was still in the mountains, but his master did not like it, saying that he did not do his job properly, and always did things that harmed others and benefited himself, so he had to force him to destroy the spider.
"At that time, I finally raised three, one male and two female, before I started my experiment, the master let me destroy it, for this matter, I had a big quarrel with the master, the master was actually quite spoiled me at that time, but unfortunately I was too young to see.
Later, when he couldn't resist me, he didn't quarrel with me, so he asked the third child to take it and destroy it for me. ”
Naturally, the third master did not disobey the master's order, and after a while, he brought back the corpse of the spider, of course, the one that was burned.
I think it was probably at that time that this old man began to completely dismiss the third master, and it was always the third master's fault first.
However, it didn't take long for this incident to happen, the third master, the eldest and the second came down the mountain one after another, and then, the master went down the mountain, and the things that followed were connected to the front.
I think, at that time, the third master must have only killed a spider, and the rest was still thinking about returning it to the old man, but unfortunately, before he could pay it back, he encountered such a thing, and the master and brother who raised him from childhood to adulthood died overnight because of his own impulse, and the third master must have felt extremely guilty in his heart, so he gave up everything, and didn't even leave the fourth child a little thought, and turned around and left.
However, he did leave a thought for himself, that is, the two spiders.
Now, presumably the old man also understands the third master's good intentions, he was silent for a long time, I don't know what he was thinking, after a while, he suddenly asked me: "What's wrong with you, why did you suddenly ask my spider?" ”
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the old man's story is still told, and I probably thought I was just thinking of the two spiders, and he probably didn't know what was going on on the mountain.
I told him about the withering trees on the mountain, and sure enough, the old man could not sit still, and he kept clapping one hand on the other, and kept walking up and down on the ground, muttering, "How can this be...... No way, those spiders can't stay outside......"
After chattering for a long time, he suddenly slapped his head again, snorted, and said, "I know!" The third child definitely didn't think there was anything to be afraid of this spider at that time, so he simply let the spider go! ”
No, I think the old man guessed wrong, and I am more inclined to the other way than this statement - when the third master went up the mountain, he took those spiders with him, and those two spiders may have discharged their eggs on this mountain without knowing it, which caused the current farce.
Sure enough, the old man seemed to quickly realize his mistake: "No, we didn't live in this mountain before......"
Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking, and after a long time, he suddenly said coldly: "Silly boy, you just dreamed, can you see the things around you clearly?" Do you think it will be ......?"
Before the old man finished speaking, I nodded heavily, no, no, the answer is yes.
