Chapter 274: Four-winged cicada
The insect in Su Daochang's hand was very small.
Even if the outside is wrapped in liquid nitrogen, it is only the size of an adult's thumb.
There are two pointed antennae on the head, and the ears are like human ears, but they are the kind of ears that are miniaturized to the extreme.
Six-legged, front two, back four.
The wings have four pieces, two of which are golden and two of which are green.
The entire body is dark green.
Su Daochang glanced at the fat man, and finally found a basin of water, and found the vessel containing the worm.
In order to prevent the insect from escaping on the way to resurrection, he also used special equipment.
That is their unique Qihuangmen anesthetic pill, this anesthetic pill, similar to the effect of anesthetic.
But it is useless to people, and can only be effective on dead things, or some kind of evil thing, as for the production method is unknown.
Su Daochang threw the mung bean-sized anesthetic pill into the water, and finally threw the small ice crystal into the water.
We all stood aside and watched.
In less than a minute, the frozen insect king began to show symptoms of activity.
But at the moment when he was ready to take off, his body lost the action of taking off again, and he floated on the surface of the water like that.
The fat man pointed to the insect king in the water and said, "This thing won't die, will it?" ”
"How is it possible, this kind of king worm, if you say that it will pretend to be dead, I believe it, but if you say that he is dead, it is simply a fantasy!"
Saying that, Su Daochang picked up a small pair of tweezers, carefully clamped the little insect, and then put it into a glass bottle and stuffed it with a special wooden stopper.
At this time, Daoist Su gave me the feeling that he was still like a Taoist priest in the Qihuang Gate, he was simply an expert in scientific research.
He shook the glass bottle twice, and the little worm in the bottle fluttered its wings and scurried around inside the bottle.
Because of the blockage of the bottle, it repeatedly hit the wall, so it makes the insect look very manic.
At this time, if you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this little insect are blood-red.
Su Daochang shook the bottle and said: "The temper is not small, I will put away this insect first, and I will contact my fellow door tomorrow and ask what this thing is, we are making plans!" ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said: "That's okay, this kind of small insect looks insignificant, but it must be something extraordinary to be able to survive among so many poisonous insects!" ”
"The floating corpses I salvaged from the sea, although they are not as serious as this female corpse, I guess they are all live worms in their bodies......!"
Just as they were about to leave, I whispered, "Actually, you don't have to wait until tomorrow!" ”
"What do you mean?"
My words made all three of them stop.
Daoist Su looked at me with surprise and said, "Boy, do you know this thing?" ”
I nodded, "I know, I haven't seen it, but it shouldn't be wrong!" ”
The fat man became interested, looked at me and smiled: "Mu Yang, do you know all this thing?" Are you the Coffin Mountain Taibao, or the Coffin Mountain Encyclopedia? ”
I ignored the fat man's ridicule of me, but said lightly: "This insect is called the four-winged cicada!" ”
"He likes cold and heat, and is not afraid of any toxins, but he has a very short lifespan, and is a descendant of the ancient insect frog, or a descendant variant."
"There are sporadic records in "Sou Shen Ji" and "Huainanzi Wanbi Shu", and there are some characteristics of the frog itself!"
"And what are the main characteristics of frogs, I think all of you here know something."
"And now it seems that I should know what the other party wants to do with this poisonous insect!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Wu Zheng and the three of them looked at each other, and they all showed a look of surprise.
I must not have thought that I would know such a thing.
Actually, the original source of this thing is not that I have actually read the relevant texts on this subject.
It's because the fat man learned from Han Lao's mouth when he was hit by ten thousand poisonous insects.
Han Lao told me at the time: "Legend has it that there is a cicada called the four-winged golden cicada, which is non-poisonous and edible. ”
"Eaters will inherit the characteristics of green cicadas, no poison, no matter what toxin is useless to the human body, but will become their own nourishment."
"But the only biggest drawback is that the life span is extremely short, it can be as long as two or three years, as short as a few months, or even a few days!"
"In addition, this four-winged cicada is a rare cicada, and it has almost disappeared in ancient times!"
"Future generations, especially those in the Yin circle, use this cicada to hang their lives and use ......!"
But this is actually a big gamble, because no one knows what will happen when they don't eat the cicada.
But for those who are dying, this kind of thing is undoubtedly a silver lining.
This kind of means of snatching life from the hands of Lord Yama would not be tried by ordinary people!
And Han Lao in the Nine Gates successfully hung his life with this kind of thing, and it was also the only four-winged golden cicada in the Nine Gates.
As for why Old Man Wu didn't use this kind of thing to continue his life in the first place, he used the life-sustaining seven-star lamp that tested his luck even more.
This may be the trust of Old Man Wu in his ancestor, or maybe the Wu family does not have this kind of artifact.
But whether there is it or not, Old Man Wu is dead, and there is no way to delve into it at this time.
The fat man said: "Mu Yang, do you mean that someone wants to use this insect to achieve the effect of being invulnerable to all poisons, and also wants to prolong their life?" ”
"Maybe you can think more exaggerated!"
The corners of my mouth rose slightly, revealing an expression that I didn't even recognize.
But in my heart, it seems that I understand a lot of things, and after verifying them one by one in my heart just now, I said these words.
I said to the fat man: "Fatty, do you remember that when we went to Shuchuan, we encountered ten thousand poisonous insects on the train?" ”
"And you were poisoned by the third uncle at that time, and you were kidnapped halfway, and you were even more poisoned by ten thousand poisonous insects in your body."
"You don't know who your kidnappers are, but I think you know, or can feel the pain of life worse than death, right?"
As I spoke, the fat man gradually reacted.
"Yours, you mean to say, fat man, like the dissected female corpse, was used as a carrier for experiments!"
"Or nutrients, and in order to make this so-called four-winged cicada reach a certain saturation state, remove its shortcomings!"
"Thus, thus ............!"
The fat man's face began to become a little unnatural, and he didn't even give his answer completely when it came to the end.
But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one says it.
Wu Zheng, who had been silent and silent, was also frowning at this time, slightly angry.
Then the fat man's words began: "Thus, to achieve some perverted goals that have been completely deformed psychologically!" ”
"This purpose is ......!"
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng glanced at Daochang Su beside him, and Daochang Su also heard the meaning from my words.
He and Wu Zheng glanced at each other and said the answer in unison.
"That's it, the four words that make all the Yin circles and even all mortals crazy about it!"
"Immortality............
