Chapter 121: The Truth About the Strange Things in Yanyan Village
Shangguan Ling listened to Nan Xinuo's words, the corners of his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched the white porcelain bottle in his hand, and the picture of the Hulk appeared in his mind, and his thoughts were complicated.
Nan Xinuo glanced at Shangguan Ling, then looked at Yun Shizi, who had a light expression, paused for a while, and continued.
"Grasshoppers are not venomous, and they generally don't crawl out of the ground, so unless some creature is willing to go underground to touch them, you won't usually see them on the ground, because they can't see the light."
Seeing that they were all listening to themselves seriously, Nan Xinuo laughed lightly, thought for a while and said, "Flowers and plants generally don't grow underground, so grasshoppers naturally don't eat flowers and plants, and of course they don't hunt for food." Because they are lazy by nature and unwilling to move, some will directly absorb the moisture of the land, which is enough for them to survive. If they come across other creatures, they will live on these living creatures and absorb their nutrients. But creatures fostered by grasshoppers are not alive or dead. ”
"Because of the living habits of grasshoppers, people regard them as evil things, and the grasshoppers themselves are very yin, and their existence is full of evil energy inside and out, so as long as there are grasshoppers underground, there will be no living people living there. However, the grasshopper is not found in places with heavy yin qi, and the land with yin qi and blood is the place where the grasshopper grows. ”
As soon as Nan Xinuo's words fell, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "In other words, the kind of grasshoppers that have corpses buried, and those corpses are all bloodstained under the cemetery. For this reason, as long as there are grasshoppers, the soil will have a unique smell, and even the color will change slightly, taking on a dark red color, and if there are many grasshoppers, the color will become heavier. ”
When Shangguan Ling heard this, she stared at the dark red dirt on her boots, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she understood why Nan Xinuo said that the dirt on her boots told her. It's just that he didn't pay attention to it at first, after all, although red mud is not common in the night abyss, it can be found in many places. It's just that if you look closely, the dirt on this boot is really different from the rest of it.
"So, as soon as I came in, I saw the dirt on Shangguan Gongzi's boots, and I guessed that your boots were stepping on the soil with a grasshopper, so you also know that the strange things in Qiyan Village are related to grasshoppers!" Nan Xinuo hooked his lips and chuckled.
Yun Shizi glanced at the faintly lit sky, then looked at Nan Xinuo, and chuckled, "I went to the cave last night and saw the villagers who were locked inside, except that they were not sane, their bodies were not abnormal. According to the village chief, they all went to the mountains to become like this, so they must have encountered the same thing, and I asked them to dissect their corpses, and found nothing unusual. ”
Nan Xinuo frowned, let the servants dissect their corpses? "Nothing unusual was found in their bodies, so you let them open their heads? Found strange little bugs inside? ”
Yun Shizi smiled lightly and nodded, "Indeed, since they are confused and unconscious. Why don't you open their heads and see what's inside. As I expected, the villagers all found bugs of the same shape in their heads. ”
"Grasshoppers don't stay in the stomach and intestines of people, they will wait until they have finished absorbing nutrients, they will go up, and when they get to their heads, they will not move, and when they are rested, they will go out of their ears or eyes. Nan Xinuo whispered.
Shangguan Ling glanced at Nan Xinuo, whose expression was naturally cold, and was slightly surprised, ordinary women had already turned pale with fright when they heard the craniotomy, but Concubine Yun Shi was fine, and she didn't have any reaction to be afraid of nausea. This Xining County Lord is really extraordinary.
"So, I guessed that the reason they were the way they were these bugs, because there was no evidence to prove my suspicions, and it was a bit complicated, so I didn't tell you at the time, I wanted to tell you this when I had a conclusion, but I didn't expect you to know about the grasshoppers." Yun Shizi glanced at Nan Xinuo, who looked indifferent, and paused for a while and said.
Nan Xinuo nodded, "No wonder, at that time, you said that this matter has nothing to do with the quality of my medical skills." This grasshopper has no medical value, and it is not in the scope of poisons. Therefore, there will be no record of grasshoppers in medical books and poison books. If I hadn't been lucky enough to read a book that happened to contain a grasshopper, I really wouldn't have known. ”
"It is written in the book that a man was buried in the ground and touched grasshoppers, and as a result, the grasshoppers entered his body through their ears and absorbed the nourishment of his body. Later, he crawled out of the land, like a zombie, walking unconsciously, and when he met creatures, he directly bit them, whether they were people or animals, they didn't feel anything at all. Just thinking about getting food to meet your needs. ”
Shangguan Ling frowned, this person's condition is the same as that of the villagers of Xuanyan Village, but this person only saw the grasshopper become like this underground, but the villagers will never climb underground to let the grasshopper get on their bodies, right? They became like this because of the Hulk, so there must be a grasshopper on the Hulk.
Later, a cultivator discovered this man, and he knew of the existence of the grasshopper. He took advantage of the characteristic of wanting to be a grasshopper and raised a group of people like zombies. But the grasshopper could not see the light, nor would it come out of the ground on its own. So, he used a squirrel as bait to lure out all the grasshoppers. But the grasshopper needs too much nutrients for the squirrel to satisfy. Later, he used the butterfly to make the creatures bigger, so that he could raise a lot of grasshoppers, get more people like that, and find a way to make them all use for himself.
It's just that later, this Taoist priest was not proficient in learning, and he did not have the will to complete it. He was also caught by a grasshopper and became a monster that looked like a human being. Decades later, someone tried to use the grasshopper again, and this time the man succeeded in raising the green-eyed monster, the Hulk you saw. ”
Shangguan Ling frowned, his thoughts were complicated, and when he thought of the Hulk, his expression couldn't help but be a little heavy, "So, that Hulk has a lot of grasshoppers on his body?" ”
"Yes, if it is as recorded in the book, the Hulk you see should be full of grasshoppers in his glasses, those eyes are very scary, and they should also have the effect of psychedelic people, and the villagers will be frightened and be caught by the grasshopper because they see the eyes full of grasshoppers."
As soon as Nan Xinuo's words fell, he looked at Yun Shizi with a little surprise, his expression was a little cold, and asked, "Since you know about the grasshopper, you should also know who made the green-eyed monster, and I am still a little curious, who has such an evil heart to turn a seven or eight-year-old child into a foster grasshopper monster." ”
Yun Shizi saw that Nan Xinuo's expression was a little cold and arrogant, and he paused for a while before saying, "This matter may have something to do with Lirui." Those grasshoppers should have been taken from the mansion of the king of the year. After all, back then, those soldiers were indeed bloodstained, and the land was full of resentment and resentment, and the blood was heavy, enough for the growth of grasshoppers. ”
"So, Shangguan Ling, you made this dirt in the Gully Palace?"
"Indeed, I went to the mansion of the king of the Gully, which was already a wasteland, especially the mass grave where those soldiers were buried, it was extremely evil, I think, there were many grasshoppers in the soil of that mass grave."
When Nan Xinuo heard this, he frowned slightly, he didn't expect that this matter would also involve the county lord of Lirui, but was she the one who did the matter in Qiyan Village? Or was this matter planned by the Drunken Dynasty again?
The Drunken King's Mansion can make a broken tail stone dragon, and it is not impossible to make a green-eyed monster to bewitch people's hearts at this time.
It's just that I'm still curious that someone has the ability to make a green-eyed monster.
"So, can you find out who made the green-eyed monster?"
Yun Shizi raised his eyebrows and whispered, "It should have something to do with that beast trainer in Wenling." The beast trainer knew all the beasts and insects in the world, and he had studied sorcery, and he was once seen putting a worm on a man who had just died, and the person immediately had a heartbeat and breath, like a living person, but without consciousness. Wenling, where he lives, is full of insects, and once people touch it, they will turn into monsters. Therefore, no one has ever dared to go to his Wenling. ”
Nan Xinuo was surprised, there is still this person, but why did he make a green-eyed monster and turn the people of Yanyan Village into human-like monsters? And he's related to Lord Rirui? Otherwise, why use the grasshopper in the palace of the king of the gully?
"If there is such a person, no one in the rivers and lakes can tolerate him, right? Isn't there no room for people who practice evil arts in the eyes of decency? ”
Yun Shizi raised his eyebrows, looked at Nan Xinuo, who was very puzzled, and explained softly, "Indeed, as you said, there is no room for people who cultivate evil arts in the eyes of decency. He can raise such an evil insect, the world naturally can't tolerate him, at the beginning, several major sects have been to Wenling, but that place is full of all kinds of strange insects, making people look like people and inhuman, and a major sect has suffered heavy losses. In the future, there was no one to take care of him. ”
Shangguan Ling also added, "At the beginning, the imperial court also sent troops to Wenling, after all, he was too evil, and the world would not tolerate the existence of people who practiced evil arts." Although he also made Wen Ling miserable, he still couldn't kill him, but he never went down the mountain to harm anyone. Then people gradually forgot about him. ”
"That's right. So, what are you going to do with him? He made the people of Xuanyan Village like this, are you going to go to Wenling to arrest him? Nan Xinuo said with a frown.
Yun Shizi did not answer this question, but saw that it was already dawn, walked to Nan Xinuo's side, took her hand and walked out, Shangguan Ling was surprised to see this and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Naturally, I went back to my room to rest."
"What!!" Nan Xinuo and Shangguan Ling were both shocked.
Shangguan Ling heard Yun Shizi say this, and looked at Yun Shizi who had already walked to the door helplessly, "You guys went back to sleep, what about the monster?" Can't solve the problem in Yanyan Village? ”
"I'll talk about it when I'm rested."
Shangguan Ling rubbed his eyebrows, he was too tired to pay attention to them, glanced at the bright sky, and helplessly climbed the window to leave.
