Chapter 265: Pilgrimage to the Poison Bee
The demon Taoist priest said, pushed Hove away, and turned his head to look at the blind man,
"Now that you've guessed what it is, go ahead and tell it.
I didn't expect that after so many years of living in seclusion, you would have heard the name of that thing. ”
But the blind man smiled, and lost no time in sarcasticly,
"The old man's line of Xieling Lux is the best at searching for information about ancient tombs, and naturally he also knows some strange things in ancient times, even things that people like you who have been expelled from the division know, how can the old man not know?"
"You ......"
The demon Taoist priest's face was cold.
The blind man snorted coldly, regardless of the attitude of the demon Taoist, he turned directly to Wu Yi again, his face was easy-going,
"Master Wu, in fact, when we talked about it before, we were completely inflamed by the atmosphere in the ancient tomb, thinking that the one who knocked us on the shoulder and the back of the head from behind must be an invisible person!
At that time, the old man didn't think about anything else, he was just afraid of that, and he was really ashamed to say it... I didn't remember that thing until now...
As for what that thing is, Master Wu, you can see it when you go to the place where the frightened foreign friend stood earlier. ”
Wu was stunned when he heard this, and he knew it at a glance?
Then he turned around and looked there, it was empty, there was still nothing, but Wu Yi still walked over with doubts, and his eyes searched the ground.
Listening to the meaning of the blind man's words, it seems that he has been sure that everything is not the work of ghosts, and it will not be easy to be noticed
Little things don't make it?
Except for the blind man, the demon Taoist priest and the sister-in-law Wang, the rest of the people also came over at this time, and everyone was panicked by that thing, if they could really find the root of that thing, it would naturally be a comforting thing in this weird and gloomy thousand-year-old tomb.
After looking for a while, Wu Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his eyes fell on the corner of the curtain wall that seemed to be made of white marble, only to see that there was really an extremely inconspicuous gray thing lying there quietly!
And almost at the same time as Wu Yi saw it, he immediately confirmed in his heart that grandma's was this thing that had been making trouble!
Because of its shape, it's an enlarged version of the parasite in your blood that looks like a broken hair!
At the same time, the fat man also saw that thing, and immediately screamed, and walked over to pick up the gray thing with the length of his palm.
"Damn, it's really a great spectacle, how can there be a dead branch in this tomb, could it be that the old man in this tomb still engaged in greening construction and four modernizations in the ancient tomb before he died?"
The blind man heard the fat man talk about the dead branches, chuckled, and came over,
"Fat man, this is not a dead branch, it is a living thing, it is the little thing that knocked us on the shoulder behind the back before, and it is also the reason why we are all poisoned!"
"What, alive?"
The fat man was startled, hurriedly threw the thing to the ground, and then went up and stomped on it a few times.
"Grandma, I've always heard that dead people can cheat corpses, but I didn't expect to hear that this branch will also cheat corpses today! Gou Ri, this is really not a good place! ”
When the blind man heard the fat man's movements, the smile on his face froze, and he hurriedly asked,
"Fat man, you don't just put that thing under your feet and step on it, do you? Hey, I said you are really fast, you listened to the old man finish talking to you, this thing was alive at first, but it was already dead after scaring people! ”
The fat man stopped, kicked the thing that had been stepped on into a puddle of slag to the side, and said with a frown,
"What are you talking about when you're dead and alive for a while, besides, this thing is like a dead branch, and it's not a treasure, when a cannon is stepped on, it's stepped on as a cannon, what's all the fuss!"
Wu Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could he see that the blind man's expression at this time seemed to be ...... Some flesh hurts that? Could it be that something like a dead tree is very valuable? Hurriedly urged the blind man to speak quickly.
The blind man sighed and said slowly,
"Hey, just step on it, I just hope that you won't regret it later, fat man......"
The fat man waved his hand with a big grin, and said that the things in this world that he regretted were not born yet, so you just said it.
The blind man shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, this palm-sized thing that looked like a tree branch was really a lot of good things to say.
This thing can be traced back to the late Warring States period and the early Qin and Han dynasties, and it was recorded in the six volumes of "Shennong's Materia Medica" revised and supplemented by Wu Pu.
At that time, this kind of thing was called 'Zhiheqi', and it was recorded as a medicinal herb.
It's just that this herb is different from other herbs because it is alive and has a certain amount of danger.
Later, there were classics that recorded this thing in detail, saying that it was long and thin, and its life characteristics were described as being the same as bees, implying that the likes and interests were all over.
The blind man explained that this creature, called 'Zhiheqi', was extremely fast, and had a short sharp spine on its tail, and when it encountered an enemy, it liked to use its short thorn to stab the opponent in the shoulder a few times, and after the stab, it itself died.
This is very similar to bees, and when it dies, it will turn into the dead branches that the fat man said earlier.
The feeling of being slapped on the shoulder from behind is actually the illusion of numbness in the shoulder after being stabbed a few times in succession, so it also has a folk name, called 'pilgrimage poisonous bee', because of its stinging appearance, as if a courtier is kowtowing when he meets a saint.
As to why it likes to strike on the shoulders of its enemies, it is impossible to decipher, perhaps it is just a habit of its life.
Wu Yi frowned thoughtfully when he heard this, if it was really this little thing that stabbed himself in the back a few times before, no wonder he didn't find anything when he turned around, after all, in this empty and dimly lit ancient tomb, no one would pay attention to the inconspicuous dead twig under his feet.
Then the blind man sighed and said,
"This pilgrim poisonous bee will immediately die and wither after stabbing the toxin into the enemy's shoulder, and it will immediately die and wither into the same appearance we have seen before, this thing is an extremely rare and precious medicinal material, in 94 at an auction in Hong Kong, someone once auctioned the corpse of a pilgrim poisonous bee......"
The blind man said, turned his head to face the fat man again, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly,
"At that auction, this inconspicuous little thing was sold for the price of a bronze!"
