Chapter 21: The Army of Planarians

Li Gengai scratched his head in some frustration, the surroundings were clean, there were not even ants, obviously abnormal, what normal person would suspend the house in mid-air? When he was looking around, he saw a large group of gray and transparent planarians wriggling in the corner of the wall, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

These planarians twist their bodies, entangle together, and curl up into a large clump, and there are small clumps on top of the large clumps, and some planarians begin to climb up along these "mats", along the corners of the wall, all the way to the top, and the trance ants carry food like a general extension, but because of the mucus on their bodies, they are upright.

Strange –

Why can't any other bugs be seen here, only planarians survive?

Li Gengai looked up along the planarians, but saw that where the planarians had climbed, there were some traces of the mucus drying up, but in addition, it seemed that something else had been added, and suddenly a violent, fantasian thought broke into his mind.

Could it beβ€”

Don't!!!!

"Come here!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Li Gai squatting in the corner looking at the slugs, and couldn't help but be a little curious: Did they feel that life was hopeless, so they began to give up on themselves?

"W-what's there to worry about?"

The big dog said tentatively, but Li Gai's face showed an unconcealable look of ecstasy.

"Thanks to these bugs, I now finally know what our situation is now!"

??

"Huh? Bugger? The second dog swayed left and right and looked at the insects for a while, and saw that they were disgustingly entangled, a little greasy, "Isn't it just a bunch of slugs, what's there to see?" However, there are so many bugs here that you can catch them, and when you are really hungry and have nothing to eat, you can solve your urgent needs. ”

…………

Li Gai shook his head, "What I solved is not the food crisis, but our current predicament, these bugs are not slugs, but planarians." ”

It's it, it's it, it's the planarian that Title Douluo can't kill.

Planarians are the world's most powerful creatures in terms of regeneration, even if they are cut into four pieces, not only will the planarians not die, but the wounds heal quickly, re-grow and develop, and become four independent planarians, which seem to be incredible, but they are far from reaching the limit, and even if they are cut into 279 pieces, these fragments will eventually grow into a complete planarian.

The reason why it is so powerful is related to the totipotent stem cells it has, when these planarian bodies are damaged, the electrical signal will change, and the planarians can sense which part of the tissue is missing, and the totipotent stem cells will repair and grow it, and finally return to a complete form.

And this creature reproduces in a very special way, by cutting itself and then re-developing, and then achieving the purpose of cloning.

The big dog was surprised when he heard "tsk", but turned his head and said, "No, if you want to say that, external physical injuries will make them repair themselves, so if they are mentally injured and have depression, then how can they repair themselves?" ”

????

Your nine-year compulsory education must have enrolled in additional cram schools.

Li Gai smiled awkwardly, "This, it shouldn't be possible in the world to have a creature that can't get along with its mental health, right?" ”

Why didn't you freeze to death in the nine-year cold window?

The sense of substitution is too strong, embarrassed I cut out a set of three bedrooms and one living room on the spot, and a little more embarrassing, even the villa can be cut out.

Saying this, Ergou hurriedly picked up a planarian and dismantled it into eight pieces, the expected thing happened, the fragments of those planarians were quickly repaired, and they healed themselves into new planarians.

"Hehe, two planarians fought, and it turned into a group fight in the back."

Ten years of cold windows, why did you turn on the heating?

"Cultivate it into edible food, and then cut it infinitely, so you don't have to worry about running out of food to eat - you see, I pull, it eats, and then I cut it into countless small ones, I eat it again, after pulling, it eats again, I think it's really an endless road, at least we won't starve to death here!!"

The big dog frowned, "Then why don't you eat your own?" In this way, there is no middleman to make the difference, so do you have to go through such a process? Then if this planarian eats how many kickbacks, you don't know. ”

…………

Affirmation from Bei Ye, Bei Ye called the insider.

From now on, in this exploration column, there will be a reality show at the same time, which is called "Planarians on the Tip of the Tongue".

Don't love me, it won't work out, unless the sand sculpture beats me.

Forget about me, next, I'm not worthy of you.

So, this is a major discovery of a food breakthrough!

Now the water source is short.

"Planarians like to be near shallow water in streams."

As soon as Li reformed his words, he suddenly even felt the water source in his stomach.

The big dog and the second dog suddenly looked at Li Reform excitedly, "So, what about the water?" ”

Li Gengai rubbed his temples, "That's the problem I want to say, planarians like to live where there is water, but there is no water in the places we see, that is to say-"

"In other words, the place where these planarians want to go must be a place with water, and we can definitely find the answer as long as we follow the footsteps of these planarians."

King Suo spoke cautiously beside him, and Li Gengai nodded and smiled, "Exactly." ”

That's not right.

Ergou was surprised, "But didn't you just say that you figured out what's going on in this place now?" Now only the planarians have been explained, and it still doesn't understand what we are in now. ”

Li Gengai circled around the courtyard, "Haven't you noticed yet?" ”

Found?

But seeing the brilliant embroidery all around, it is very gorgeous, not like the calm atmosphere that the general courtyard likes, but a bit of nouveau riche feeling. There is a certain age, but no matter where it is, the color has not peeled off, and because I tried it before, every door can't be opened, so it adds a bit of weird and gloomy atmosphere for no reason, although the surroundings are bright because of the flashlight, but it always makes people feel a kind of indescribable weirdness.

The One-Thorn Iron King suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "It's a cover, right?" ”

The cover, also known as the underworld, is a house for the dead, which is used to cover the coffin of the deceased when the deceased is out of the funeral and burned in the burial place.

As soon as the "cover" came out, the big dog and the second dog suddenly moved, and their eyes showed a look of disbelief, "What? ”

The folk prefer to refer to the underworld as a cover, so as soon as the villagers say "cover", they immediately understand what it is.

But seeing that Li Reform's expression remained unchanged, obviously he had already guessed, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, looked around, and only now did he see this courtyard, no matter how magnificent it was, with a gratuitous gloomy atmosphere.

Cover?

It's actually a cover?!!!!

A group of them, they actually ran to the house that burned the dead??

"Y-you, you, you-why the hell do you say that?"

Ergou swallowed his saliva and asked Li Reform with courage, Li Reform squatted down, still in the corner, looking at those planarians.

"Because these planarians, like the slugs, leave this dry slime on the ground after climbing, and when they weather, they crystallize, but look hereβ€”" pointed to the traces of the planarians' crawling, "not only is there no here, but the walls are actually wet." ”

Sure enough, everyone stared at the place where the planarian crawled with their eyes, and it was as if the paper had been soaked in water, leaving traces of gray soaking, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces showed a look of horror.

They're really in the hood?!!

Li Gai didn't seem to be worried at all, he looked up at the sky around him, the corners of his mouth curled, and he understood everything that was happening here, but he didn't look like he had panicked before, as if he had even thought of a way out.

"What to do? What to do? ”

"How do I know what to do? I've lived so long that I've only seen the dead burned in a hood, and I never thought that one day I would go into the hood, so how the hell are we in the hood? I looked at it from a distance before, and this courtyard is still very normal. ”

"Phew, in this snowy mountain, what is normal of everything you encounter? I don't think it's normal, and now I'm inexplicably stepping into the shroud that burns the dead, can't we also become funeral objects in the dark? ”

…………

Big dog, second dog, you and I are discussing the solution, and the lock king and the iron king are silent: the first to find out that there is a problem here is Li Reform, and now seeing that he is not in a hurry, it is obvious that there is a way to get out, they are not like those young people, they can't hold their breath, the more they are confused, the more they can't panic, and they have to act at the opportunity.

It's just that they don't understand a little: they have encountered a lot of strange things along the way, even if this is a cover for the dead, it shouldn't be suspended in the air, because no matter what, you have to conform to the law, even in the underworld, you have to talk about the rules, how can this good and decent thing be suspended in the air?

Li Gai smiled slightly, "Have you heard the story of the paper man?" ”

"Paper people?"

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Is it also the burned virgin boy and girl that is offered to the deceased?" ”

"That's what it means."

There are no more than the following four types of paper ties: one is the statue of a god, such as a large tie product burned in front of the mausoleum during burial; the second is portraits, including boys and girls, opera characters, waiters, etc.; the third is the building, such as the mourning room, the gatehouse, the archway, the car car, etc.; Fourth, there are bright vessels, including eating and drinking utensils, offerings and auspicious items, as well as Rui beasts.

Paper is mostly used for rural funerals, mainly for boys, virgins, gold mountains, silver mountains, cash trees, horses, floats, etc.

On the October New Day of the Qing Dynasty, there is such a custom among the people: the paper workshop uses five colors of paper-cut to make men's clothes, which are several feet long, called "winter clothes", almost every family wants to pay tribute at night, and burn the winter clothes in front of the house, called "sending cold clothes", which is to mourn the dead soldiers, and this move, even the palace concubines and queen mothers in the palace are extended, which shows the popularization of paper ties.

"I already know that this courtyard is a cover, aren't you curious, how did it hang in the air?"
