Chapter 156: Mask Boils
PS: This chapter is a bit too scary, with dense phobias and timid heart discomfort, please read with caution.
At the end of the staircase is a cliff with a dark abyss below, and there is no way out.
The Fifth Master asked everyone to rest first, and then climbed the endless stone steps, returned to the Nine Rings Burial Pit from the new, and then looked for other passages.
The fat man suddenly felt an itch in his back, and asked me to scratch it, but when I put my hand inside his clothes, I immediately noticed that something was unusual, and hurriedly lifted his trouser leg and removed the bloodstained leggings that were tied to his legs.
It turned out to be completely unexpected, and the fat man fainted with black eyes after one glance at his legs. The other onlookers also couldn't bear to turn their eyes away, and I felt the gastric juice churning, and I almost threw up.
The fat man's stout white legs were covered with white boils the size of a thumb nail, and their appearance was exactly the same as the carapace of the mask of the horseshoe crab, and the crescent-shaped eyes and mouth were faintly visible, and he looked at everyone with a hideous smile.
The dense white mask boils on the fat man's legs are like goosebumps, which make people dizzy to look at, and feel infinite panic and fear in their hearts, and there is a sense of horror that wants to scream, but can't scream.
I hurriedly took off the shoes and socks on my left foot, and found that the boils on my feet, which were originally just beans, had grown to the size of a fingernail at some point, and turned into a white mask, like a small mask horseshoe crab burrowing under the skin on the surface of the foot. I panicked and lifted my trousers to see my calves. It's only covered with white masked boils, and it looks very terrifying and cautious. If you look at it more, you can't help but have stomach acid.
The rest of the Western Expedition. They all began to lift their clothes one after another to check. As a result, all people, including Tianyu, were spared!
The sharp knuckles under the abdomen of the white strange mask horseshoe crab can not only suck blood, but also inject foreign objects similar to Gu worms or insect eggs into the human body. I had never seen the initial appearance of the wounds on my body, because everyone was in a hurry to flee for their lives. It wasn't until I came to the Nine Rings Burial Grave that I had time to check the wounds because of the itching pain. What the wound looked like at the time. It was just a boil the size of a bean, but now it has grown into a hard shell the size of a fingernail, protruding from the bottom of the skin, exactly like the back shell of a white mask horseshoe crab.
I knew that these masked boils were most likely the eggs of masked horseshoe crabs, which sucked blood and parasitized the eggs on the host, and then let the eggs go. Grows under the warm skin. From the time we got into the burial pit to now, in such a short period of two or three hours, the eggs of the horseshoe crab have grown from the size of a bean. Grow to the size of a fingernail, and grow at this rate to the size of a palm. It won't take a few days!
I can't imagine when the boils in the mask grow to the size of the palm of my hand. They all broke free from my body. At that time, I will definitely not be able to resist and hit my head first. And never go through that kind of horrible thing to the bone.
The matter of the mask boil shook everyone's morale to the bottom, and the fifth master was the first to ask me: "Xiaowen, this mask-like boil is related to the mask monster insect I met just now, right?" ”
I nodded without thinking, and when Fifth Master saw me nodding, he swallowed his saliva, and continued to ask me with some nervousness: "Then do you have any way to solve this matter?" ”
Hearing Fifth Master Cha's question, I felt a full headache, I generally know some ways to crack Gu arts, but I don't know anything about witch doctors. Encountering this situation now reminds me of Smoke Man, who is the authentic descendant of the witch doctor Zhu Youshu, who knows and knows how to cure this strange disease, but unfortunately he is not here now.
I remember Tianyu seemed to understand something, but I wasn't quite sure if she could be treated in such a bad situation without medical conditions.
Tianyu had been lying asleep on the cold ground, and now I had to wake her up, so I first explained to the fifth master, "I don't know much about witch doctors. But my sister understands something, and I'll wake her up now to heal everyone. Rest assured, she will be able to heal everyone. ”
I have to swear by it, but I don't know if the rain will really heal you, but I have to give you hope now. If Tianyu wakes up and says that she can't heal, it's okay, I will comfort everyone with my three-inch incorruptible tongue. I believe that as long as we do not despair and hope until the end, we will be able to overcome all kinds of hardships and find a way to heal.
Tianyu was woken up by my staggering, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, I helped her up and sat on the ground, and then immediately told her in detail about the boil in the mask.
Tianyu beat his spirits, reached out and pulled up his trouser legs, and took a look.
I saw that on the fair-skinned and smooth calves of Tianyu, there were also several masked boils the size of fingernails.
After Tianyu saw it, he put down his trouser leg with a wry smile, and said to himself: "It seems that I am really sick and confused, and I have this ghost thing on my body, but I didn't even notice it." ”
I deduced from Tianyu's tone that she should know what was going on with the masked boil, so I anxiously asked her, "Can you cure it?" ”
Tianyu looked at me and nodded, and I immediately heard that the people around me were relieved, and everyone's hearts that had been hanging were finally put down.
But I know very well in my heart that even if Tianyu says that it can be cured, it does not mean that Xiàn can be cured, and now that even eating is a problem, the medical conditions are not much different from those of primitive society.
Tianyu first walked up to the fat man who had fainted to the ground, glanced at the dense mask boils on his legs, and couldn't help frowning.
I squatted next to the fat man and asked Tianyu worriedly, "How is he doing?" ”
Tianyu rolled up the trousers of the fat man's legs high, and then said to me: "The fat brother is fine, it is better to heal in a coma." ”
I didn't know anything about witch doctors, so I couldn't help but ask Tianyu, "Do you need anything?" ”
Tianyu probably couldn't get used to these rows of masked boils for a while, and after taking a deep breath, she turned her head and explained to me: "These mask-like boils should be the eggs of those mask horseshoe crabs, and the adults will use the blood-sucking objects as hosts while sucking the blood of other creatures, and then parasitize their own eggs on the bodies of other creatures. These eggs will then slowly suck the host's essence and blood, and eventually grow to a certain extent, and then they will burrow out of the host's body, and the host will naturally be sucked out of the essence and die. So, before these mask boils are finished, you can use mahogany nails to pierce the soft shell! Then smoke wormwood, or directly wash the wound with water boiled in grapefruit leaves, then take the water under the jujube tree, and finally apply the powder made of peach kernels at the time of daily shenyou, and replace it for seven days. ”
After listening to Tianyu's explanation, my eyebrows were twisted into a lump, not only my expression, but the rest of the Western Expedition team also frowned, and said in their hearts: It's so cumbersome and complicated, with today's conditions, there is not even a nail, let alone a nail made of peachwood! There is also the water under the jujube tree, which is even more unheard of and unseen. How to accomplish these harsh conditions now, it is simply an impossible task, this is not a disguised announcement that everyone is hopeless!
I frowned tightly and asked Tianyu with a bitter face: "These things you said are not available here now, so don't you have any other cure?" ”
Tianyu blurted out without hesitation: "Yes." ”
When everyone in the Western Expedition team heard that there was another way, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts: This girl can really hang people's appetites and make people's hearts go up and down, just like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs. There is a way why not say it earlier, so that everyone is worried in vain.
Who knows, Tianyu has not finished saying that she has aroused people's appetite, and then she said again: "Although there is a way, it is only a symptom but not a cure." ”
With that, he stopped making a sound, and took out a parchment roll the thickness of a pencil from his bosom.
Although Tianyu's words were not explicitly stated, everyone understood that what she meant was that the treatment methods carried out under the limited conditions were only the surface of the boils, and as for the residual poison left by the mask boils in the human body, she could not completely remove them now. For the rest, everyone can only ask for more blessings.
Tianyu carefully spread the thin sheepskin roll in his hand on the ground, I saw that there were a lot of silver needles inserted in it, Tianyu's attitude and expression were very cautious and pulled out a silver needle from it and said: "The five elements of insects belong to "wood", Jin Kekezhi, use silver needles to break its shell. However, it is also necessary to use herbs to clean and apply medicine to heal, otherwise, the residual poison cannot be eliminated from the body, and there will still be life-threatening injuries. ”
I saw that I could break the mask boil with a silver needle, so I was anxious to help, but as soon as I stretched out my hand to take the silver needle, I was stopped by Tianyu shouting: "Don't move, the silver needle is poisonous." ”
When I heard this, I immediately retracted my hand in fright and looked at Tianyu in horror. Seeing that she lit a candle and then put the silver needle on the flame and burned it, she lowered her head and said in a very relaxed and ordinary tone: "These silver needles are not used to save people. ”
When I heard Tianyu's indifferent tone, I suddenly shuddered in my heart, these silver needles are not used to save people, and they are also coated with poison, so they are used to kill people.
The "poison needle" has been used in assassination since ancient times, and most of them are hidden weapons used by assassins, and I suddenly remembered that the weapons that Tianyu carried with him were all hidden swords, daggers and darts used by assassins. Could it be that the kung fu that Tianyu learned was the assassination technique used by the assassins?
I suddenly realized that I was so unfamiliar with the woman I loved so much in front of me.
This makes me feel a little vague and uneasy about the rain! (To be continued......)
