Chapter 63: Xiang Leng Tang decides
Cailiu walked over indifferently, and leaned over to burn the long insects directly to the ground with the scorching fire in his hand, almost without the slightest hesitation between his gestures, as relaxed as poking a few ants to death. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the ground, those long worms had already been burned into powder.
The fat man clapped his hands on the side, "Hey, the woman is a good means!" ”
I interrupted the fat man and asked Cailiu what was going on, and Cailiu brought the half-bright and half-extinguished fire fold in her hand to her mouth, and blew again, and in an instant the surroundings lit up again, and in the light I saw that her face was half-hidden in the darkness without any expression. She looked at me faintly for a long time before she asked me back.
"Do you know about schizocephalus?"
What's that? I have never studied these insects, but there is the word "split head" in the obedience, and I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. To put it simply, Schizocephalus is a parasite that inhabits the brains and spine of living people, and once infected by this organism, a series of dooms such as vomiting, convulsions, fainting, seizures and even amputation are ensued.
I listened to it for a long time and realized that it was just a parasite. This thing is similar to parasites such as liver flukes, I have seen it on the news before, saying that if you eat raw foods such as sashimi and raw beef, you will be infected and sick over time, and it is even more terrifying, I heard that some people have taken out parasites about five meters long from the body. YN Many areas also have the habit of eating raw meat and red meat, our local people call it chopping, I have not been interested in these things since I was a child, but I heard the elders say that they have to drink a high number of liquor or soju to eat chopped meat, in order to kill insects and eggs, I didn't understand it before, but now I can understand it.
I had been running around in the tomb for so long, and I was even frightened and tired along the way, and I was already hungry and unbearable, and now I heard these two women talk about these things, and I suddenly lost any appetite. I babbled and asked Cailiu, meaning that this weird insect is also sick because he often eats raw meat?
Cailiu shook her head, "These schizocephalic larvae don't belong in this ancient tomb. ”
I was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she said, but what I heard next was even more evil. Cailiu told me that this ancient tomb of the Shang Dynasty is indeed as I said, in their time, the scale of human sacrifice reached an unprecedented scale, but in a certain period, someone would catch hundreds of newborn babies and use them as larvae; The so-called larvae induction is to let these children who are about one to three years old eat a large number of Schizocephalus eggs to raise the worms. Usually these children do not survive to adulthood, and those who do will be dissected when they reach the age of ten years, and the adult larvae will be removed from the body and used for other purposes.
I listened to it creepy, and the fat man muttered after a moment's hey, "Hey, fuck, why does it sound a little like some modern farming techniques?" ”
I was about to answer the fat man's words, but Cailiu continued:
"The contents of those skulls under the Copper Sea Ghost Ding just now are the adult bodies of the schizocephalic larvae, even if I don't cut off the head of that ancient corpse, it won't be hanging for long, and these ......" She swept the place at her feet that had been burned into black ash by the fire with the corner of her eye, and said lightly: "It's just a larvae." ”
It's not that I don't believe what Cailiu said, and it's rare for her to say so many things at one time, but as far as I know, although the Shang Dynasty was full of ghosts and witches, and people were martyred and sacrificed, it was not enough to do such a crazy thing as raising parasites with children's bodies. And there is no record of it on the oracle bone inscription, which, this is unreasonable!
Cailiu heard me say this, the fire fold in her hand flickered and dimmed, her eyes flashed with an uncertain light, and she said quietly: "I didn't say it, it is a masterpiece of the Shang Dynasty in ancient times." ”
I was stunned for a moment, but immediately remembered something, and hurriedly asked her, "What do you mean...... Is it the person who is clothed in the Fox Cave? ”
Cailiu glanced at me, didn't say anything, I knew that the conversation about these things was over, so I didn't say more, I don't want to say more, we didn't talk about it for a long time, but these contents made me unable to digest for a long time, I thought of the three-story ancient building in the hinterland of the jade coffin tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty, remembered the female corpse in the stone coffin with strange patterns, and remembered the head of the larvae under the bronze giant tripod just now, and my heart turned up with an inexplicable rage, who is doing these things? This is contrary to the way of heaven and human ethics.
Just when I was indignant, Cailiu had already looked at the strange insects that had been cut in two on the ground, and Xiaoye was also looking left and right beside her, but she was looking at the firefly itself, and Cailiu was looking at its fatal wound. After a long time, Cailiu nodded to herself and sighed lightly.
"Clever."
The fat man and I were puzzled by what she meant, and when she asked her why, Sailiu shook her head, pointed to the cave where we came, and said, "Someone dug this cave and used it to trap and kill this monster." ”
No way?!
The fat man and I stared at each other almost at the same time, Cailiu said this very scary, slaughtering the barbarian firefly with the power of mortals? Isn't that funny! This thing is fierce and vicious, walking like the wind, flying sand and rocks everywhere it goes, you know at a glance that it is born with strange power, how can it be killed? Unless it is equipped with military equipment, it has to be said, but how do you look at it, this monster is like being cut in two by an extremely sharp cold weapon?
Cailiu didn't want to explain, only told us that it was indeed caused by manpower, and it was the power of one person, and although the skin and flesh tissue where the strange insect broke was charred and black, it was cut extremely neatly and smoothly, obviously
- "It was killed by Xiang Wu, who was burning with flames. ”
"None? What is it? "I've never heard of this kind of thing, and I want to ask, Cailiu turned a deaf ear, bypassed the insect corpse and walked forward, the fat man followed me, saw that I was embarrassed and took my words and said: "I guess it's a kind of magic weapon, haven't you read the novel?" What kind of Xuanyuan sword, Pangu axe, Kunlun mirror or something, I guess it's that kind of thing. ”
I spat him, "You said it was a novel, how can you believe what the novelist said?" And you're talking about these legendary things, who has ever seen them? Yes? Have you seen it? ”
The fat man pursed his lips, a little aggrieved, "Hey, isn't this also a blind guess, who the has ever seen a melee cold weapon burning with flames?" ”
