Chapter Thirty-Six: The Expensive Head Dropping: The Worm
Ling Fan was stared at by Master Sultan's hair, as if he was the little blood ghost himself.
After staring at Ling Fan for a long time, Master Sultan said slowly, "Ling Fan, how much do you know about descending heads?" ”
Ling Fan shook his head and said, "Before coming here, I had never heard of the word head lowering, and I hadn't even watched movies and television about it, so I can only say that I can say that I don't even know the surface of head lowering knowledge." ”
"No wonder, if you don't know how to lower your head, then you don't know how to prevent it, do you know, you have already been lowered by someone......" Master Sultan looked at Ling Fan and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Ling Fan felt that his brain was buzzing, his whole body seemed to fall into a cold cellar, the hairs on his whole body stood up one by one, he felt that his throat was like a fish bone, and he struggled for a long time before he intermittently said a sentence that was quite complete: "You...... What do you say...... You say that my body was lowered by someone?! ”
Master Sultan's deep eyes revealed a cold gaze, as if he could see through all the obstacles in the world, even the heart, he waved his hand towards Ling Fan to signal him to approach, although Ling Fan didn't know what was going on, but now he had to listen to Master Sultan's words, such a person with a prominent position would definitely not lie to himself.
After Master Sultan waited for Ling Fan to walk to his side, he stretched out two dry fingers, and as he spoke, he parted Ling Fan's eyelids up and down, revealing black and white pupils, but above the black pupils, that is, where the whites of the eyes, there was a faint red line running through the whites of the eyes, and this red line was very light, if it wasn't for careful observation, it would definitely be thought that it was too worried about the formation of bloodshots.
"Master, is there something wrong with my eyes?" Ling Fan forcibly endured the fear in his heart and asked calmly.
Master Sultan lowered Ling Fan's eyelids and said to himself with a solemn face: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how can there be people in this world who can do this kind of head-lowering technique?!" ”
Master Sultan's words made Ling Fan a mess, and he was even more worried in his heart, but despite his repeated questioning, Master Sultan said that it was nothing, and told Ling Fan that he must not tell anyone about this, even the closest people around him, he has his own way to deal with it. As he spoke, he turned around and took out a bamboo tube from behind him, the bamboo tube was very delicately made, only the size of a thumb, and he gently took the upper end of the bamboo tube off, revealing a thin purple needle, exuding a strange color.
He gently took down the thin needle, and then asked Ling Fan to come over, Ling Fan didn't know what this master was going to do, but now he also had to obey orders, his body actually lowered his head, which Ling Fan couldn't imagine what he said, after he came here, since he saw the people around him talking about lowering his head, he knew that lowering his head was mysterious and terrifying, and he might be lowered if he was not careful, he was still more cautious in this regard, but even so he was still lowered by someone, which had to make Ling Fan feel depressed and afraid, It's really hard to prevent.
Without the slightest pain, he only felt dizzy in front of him, and then he was extremely clear, Ling Fan hurriedly touched his neck, just now Master Sultan obviously inserted the purple needle into his neck, but he couldn't feel it at all.
"You must not tell anyone about the purple needle, and you must do your best to forget about it, understand?" Master Sultan looked at Ling Fan and said in an almost commanding tone.
"That doesn't seem easy, but I'll do my best, but, master, what is it in my body, why don't I know?" Ling Fan was still haunted by the lowering of his head in his body, and asked.
Master Sultan said, "When you survive this night safely, you will know everything, but now you have to forget everything, including the purple needle that you have in your body and the purple needle I put on the back of your neck." ”
Ling Fan smiled bitterly: "That doesn't seem to be easy to do, to be honest, my memory is quite good." ”
"I have a way, even if I am called the king of the head lowering master, if I can't even do this little thing, then I am too ashamed of this title." Master Sultan showed a rare smile, but it was better not to smile, a dry face really didn't smile with any joy.
I saw him take out a small bamboo tube from behind him, remove the front end of the bamboo tube again, pick up the barrel and gently knock it in the palm of his hand, only to see some black powder suddenly appear in the palm of his hand.
The black powder was so dazzling and shimmering with a crystal clear sheen that even the most beautiful black jade gems could not capture the slightest bit of the black sheen.
"Master Sultan, what are these black powders?" Ling Fan asked.
Master Sultan smiled mysteriously at Ling Fan and said, "These black powders are made from the heads of an insect called 'worms', although they are insects, but you don't underestimate these things, their value is much more precious than those so-called diamonds and jades, based on this alone, I can guarantee that at least two large bungalows like the ones you saw before are already in the palm of my hand." ”
Ling Fan stuck out his tongue, it was not that he had never seen the so-called precious strange things, but like this, just a little powder could be worth two luxurious villas, which really made Ling Fan's imagination feel the limit, to be honest, if he hadn't known in advance that the old man in front of him was the legendary king of the noble head descending master, he would definitely think that he had met the so-called Jianghu Warlock.
Master, since these things are so valuable, what are you going to do with them? Ling Fan forced himself to admit the value of the black powder in front of him, but he was still curious about what they were used for.
Master Sultan looked at the black powder in his palm with great pity, and said: "The beetle is an extremely precious insect in our country, and the life of the worm is only three years, and it can only give birth once in three years, and it can only give birth to two larvae at a time, and one of the two larvae must become the food of the other, so it is said that the worm can only produce a new life every three years......"
Ling Fan suddenly felt as if he was back in the high school classroom, because he had the feeling of listening to the biology teacher talk about the history of biological insects, this feeling made him a little speechless, but Master Sultan's later words made Ling Fan's entire body stun.
“…… The beetle also has a unique feature, and it is this feature that doubles its value, then its amnesia, due to the capacity of the head, the memory of the beetle can only be kept for one day, it only remembers its own behavior and the places it has been to in a day, and the next day, everything is a new beginning for it, because the previous memory has been lost, so we will collect the beetle, and use it to refine the head that makes people temporarily lose their memory, and the effect can be maintained for at least half a day on the person's body, and when encountering people with particularly strong resistance, It is estimated to last for several hours. Speaking of this, Master Sultan looked at Ling Fan and said, "You should know what it's used for now, right?" ”
Ling Fan nodded and said, "Well, I understand, I understand, if I still don't understand why it's so expensive?" ”
Master Sultan sighed: "In fact, the value of the beetle was not so high before, although the growth of the beetle is extremely short, but the number of the beetle in country A is still considerable, after all, it is an insect and can be seen everywhere, but when the biologists discovered these special characteristics of the beetle, it was frantically captured by the head descender, and they were used to refine the amnesiac head dropping." We human beings have a big weakness, that is, they like to regret, regret what they have done, but time can not be turned back, regret is useless, then we want to forget those memories, business failure, marriage breakdown, etc., these are the most common mistakes made by those high-ranking officials and nobles, so they are more demanding of regret medicine, so they buy a large number of beetles, so that in the end, the number of beetles has decreased sharply, and now if you want to find another beetle from country A, it is quite difficult, However, even so, the dignitaries, nobles, wealthy businessmen and wealthy people still maintained a considerable interest in the beetle, so it is not surprising that its value is so high. ”
"Oh, I see, but if those people only know how to make mistakes and don't fix them, I don't think even the number of worms will be enough for them, and it would be cruel to just make their own amnestics for a while at the cost of the lives of these little insects." Ling Fan looked at the black powder in the hands of the head descending master and regretted how many beetles' lives would be needed for such a small handful of powder, and it was only refined with the head of a beetle.
Master Sultan looked at Ling Fan with appreciation and said with a smile, "That's why I decided to use these beetles on you, because you can stop some people from making mistakes again, and these things belong to you." ”
When Ling Fan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Master, are you joking with me, I can't afford these things, I'm just a student, it's not worth selling me to this handful of black powder." ”
Master Sultan smiled maliciously at Ling Fan, "Who said you don't have money, didn't Prince Totai give you a blank check?!" ”
"Uh......" Ling Fan suddenly understood a lot, but he also understood a truth: there is no free lunch in this world!
Although Ling Fan was still a little reluctant, was it easy for him to get a check that could be filled in arbitrarily and cashed at any time?! However, compared to life, these things he had to endure the pain of love, it seems that after this matter is completed, the biggest challenge he faces is not what is the surrender, but the accountability of the entire headquarters members, especially Lao Gu, what face do he have to see him, it's really sad, how did he get lowered, it's really sad.
