Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mystery of the Dried Corpses

Wang's roar, which suddenly stopped moving, made me a little nervous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I looked at him resting on the corpse's chest, the tip of the knife motionless, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Yan looked at the dead man's chest, which was as stiff as a wax sculpture, and stared at me with bated breath before he asked me, "Lao Tian, take a closer look at the dead man's chest...... Is it moving? ”

Wang Roar's words didn't cause me to think and doubt too much, and on the contrary, I felt quite funny, and I complained a little bit about Wang Roar's nervousness.

A blackened dried corpse, like firewood, can't be dead through, how can it move.

I shook my head and said, "Lao Wang, are you wrong?" It's all dry, and you can turn it into powder ...... you blow a breath."

"That's not right!" Wang Roar continued to stare at the dead man's chest and the dagger in his hand, and he interrupted me, "His chest is moving!" And...... It's a heartbeat! ”

If this king roared again, I couldn't take it as child's play at all, so I tuned the halo of the electric light with Hyun Hongye and stared carefully at the dead man's mycelium-covered chest.

The three of them didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

After a few moments, I finally saw that the chest of the dried corpse was indeed ...... It was moving, and it was beating at an unusually regular pace, as if a heart was beating in his chest.

Mummy...... There was a heartbeat!

Looking at this strange discovery, I took a step back at the same time as Xian Hongye, as if there was no discipline, but Wang Roar didn't move, just pointed a knife at the guy's chest to calm his mind.

It was at this point that our movement seemed to "stimulate" the corpse, because as we were exercising, I was sure that I saw the dry corpse...... Suddenly sit up!

In fact, it is not right to say that the corpse suddenly sat up, because his "sitting" up was a relatively slow process, and there was no strength, and there was also the dagger of the king's roar, and it was only flicked once, as if a dying man had convulsed. But...... It's also terrifying.

The rise of these hundred years of dry corpses is a shocking change!

In the shock, Wang Roar reacted quickly, mercilessly pierced the dead man's chest with a dagger, and then raised his knife and slashed five times in a row, cutting off all the head, neck and limbs of the dried corpse.

After Platoon Commander Wang made a decision, the dead man suddenly became a bare "human being", even if he could explode and hurt people, he had no head or claws, and he couldn't set off any kind of wind and waves.

The limbs of the dried corpse were broken at the touch, and there was no blood, so it was not as bloody as we thought, and we looked at it with a flashlight, and only saw some extravasation fluid on the chest covered with mycelium, as if it were ...... Gel of transparent jelly.

Looking at those transparent liquids, I suddenly understood: "This dead man has something in his stomach like the previous golden python and pangolin!" ”

A very bad premonition crept into my head.

But with a hint of luck, I still asked Wang Yao for a dagger, and gently cut open the frozen abdomen of the dried corpse with the tip of the knife to find out.

As the knife fell, the dead man's skin was torn apart like wool felt, and there seemed to be a tremendous pressure in the ribcage, so that the folded skin and membranes attached to the mycelium immediately separated along the corpse's sternum.

As I had guessed, in the chest of the dead man was not a heart or a human organ, but a mass of flesh, a white-brown, breathing, living "flesh".

I was stunned and said, "Yinshan Tai Sui meat!" Oni Hachizhen...... How is it a ghost again! ”

My words made Xian Hongye's brows tighten, and also made Wang Yu a little inexplicable, he pointed to the tumor in the dead man's chest and said, "What is Yinshan Tai Sui?" What's the hell out of it? ”

I stared blankly at the shrinking and trembling thing, and first told Wang Roar: "Pi Ling, Jin Zhuyi, Carp Monster, Human Placenta, Tai Sui Meat, Soft Jade, Human Milk, Cell Blood Leech...... Known as the Eight Treasures of Ghosts, although these eight things are delicious, they are either weird or contrary to human morality, and it is said that eating them is detrimental to yin morality, so it ...... Ordinary people don't dare to touch it at all, so it's called 'Ghost Bazhen'. ”

Among the eight treasures, Tai Sui meat ranks fifth, but when it comes to his legend, it is ranked first.

Tai Sui, also known as "meat lingzhi", is actually a fungus, but this fungus is very special, neither belongs to animals, nor plants, neither fungi nor source nucleotic organisms or other known classifications.

According to some researchers, this organism is closer to the most primitive form of life, as if it lives at the "origin" of biological evolution, and for billions of years, the form has not evolved or changed.

It is said that this thing has no life, does not live and does not die, it is long when it encounters water, and sleeps without water, unless it is burned, even if there is no water and no wind for ten years, there is no nourishment, and it is buried deep underground or in the sky...... None of them will die.

Also because of the weirdness of "meat Lingzhi", it was covered with a mysterious color, before the Ming Dynasty, the meat Lingzhi was evenly called "Tai Sui", he was considered to be the projection of the "Tai Sui Xingjun" on the ground in the sky, and the Tai Sui meat was dug out is the most unlucky thing to relocate and break the ground, after all, the family will be ruined.

Therefore, in order to avoid this strange meat, the ancients did everything they could, and even invented a unique set of feng shui theories to prove and study its operating laws.

Hearing this, Wang roared and asked, "This thing is said to be so evil?" Then you people in the Five Organs Temple still dare to eat? ”

In this regard, I smiled helplessly and said: "When people are hungry, they even eat soil, poison and even relatives, what is this Tai Sui meat?" ”

Tai Sui meat is called "meat lingzhi" or "immortal grass" in Huogong, and its medicinal and edible value is believed to be similar to that of Ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest, and according to the different growth environment, Tai Sui is divided into "Yinshan Tai Sui" and "quenched Tai Sui". Yinshan Tai Sui is also called "Tu Tai Sui", it grows mostly in the mountains and extremely cold land, and Quenching Tai Sui is also called "tide meat", it mostly grows in the water streams and mountain streams with excellent water quality.

Among them, according to the experience of the Five Organs Temple, Yinshan Tai Sui is the most suitable for making soup, quenching Tai Sui is suitable for making cold dishes or even eating raw, and so on.

Interestingly, the history of eating Tai Sui in the temple of the five organs is very "long" and "short", before Li Shizhen came out with the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the people were in awe, and few people dared to eat it, and this kind of delicacy, until the Ming Dynasty, was once only the Son of Heaven could enjoy the "belly meat" and even "elixir".

With that, I turned around and looked at the trembling "ball of meat" in the dead man's abdomen that seemed to breathe.

I thought for a moment: but...... Whether it is Yinshan Tai Sui or Quenching Tai Sui, they should not grow on people, and they are still a dry corpse that has been dead for many years, unless they ......
