After listening to my question, Crazy Six paused slightly, and then said slowly: "Because of its feces, it can be used as explosives."

As soon as Madman Six finished saying this, Kenya laughed first, she thought that Madman Six was joking, how could there be animal feces and explosives?

Mr. and Mrs. Chen, and Old Man Ouyang also shook their heads and smiled bitterly, it can be seen that they, like Kenya, think that Crazy Six is just joking.

Although a few of us have been with Maniac Six the longest, so we know him better and know that he rarely jokes, but his statement is still difficult for us to accept and understand, and I think it's a bit unbelievable, yes, how can animal feces become explosives?

But unexpectedly, for Crazy Six's statement, my cousin nodded, as if he agreed, what's going on, is what Crazy Six said true?

My cousin was surprised and confused when he saw us, so he smiled and said, "The old-timers are right, the dung of that kind of 'human bird' can indeed be used as explosives. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone took it seriously, and my cousin continued to explain: "Some of our local chronicles are dedicated to folk legends, and these folklore include this kind of 'birdman'.

The book records that in the late Tang Dynasty, some rebels in the Tang Dynasty were defeated and fled to the mountains in this area, and in winter, because of the heavy snowfall, the environment became more humid and cold, and the flint they used to make fire was completely invalid, so they could only eat raw meat for the prey they came, and the biggest problem of eating raw meat was that it would cause constipation. As a result, these remnants of the army were defeated and began to die in large numbers, and they were about to be wiped out.

At this critical moment of life and death, one of the rebels joined the army, but found a way to make a fire - he used a black powder, sprinkled it on the wood, and then struck it with a sword, and the black powder would burn, and then set the wood on fire.

This shocked those rebels, what the hell is the black powder? They really didn't know, because the gunpowder was yellow at that time, and it was absolutely impossible to burn with a few strokes of the sword.

After the fire, the last remaining more than ten rebels survived in the mountains, and later because of the change of the situation, they came out of the mountains, and married and had children in the local area, and reproduced offspring, the one who joined the army also became a famous local gentry, so their experience was also recorded.

According to the secret that the soldier later revealed, the black powder he used to make fire was the dung of an animal, and the animal had a very strange appearance, with a 'bird's head and a human body', which he called a 'human bird'.

As for how he found that 'human bird', there is no record in the book.

Since then, many Taoist priests have come to this mountain to look for the dung of the 'human birds', because they feel that that kind of dung belongs to the 'extreme yang thing' and is one of the best raw materials for alchemy.

Legend has it that Yuan Chonghuan, a general of the Ming Dynasty, also came here to find the dung of this 'human bird', but he was not for alchemy, but to create more powerful explosives, and it is said that he also secretly raised a lot of these 'human birds', specially collected their dung and added it to gunpowder, so that the power of gunpowder was greatly increased.

Later, he defended the ancient city of Ningyuan alone, with 10,000 men against several times the Houjin troops, that is, the troops of the Qing Dynasty, and repelled the Houjin troops. ”

After listening to my cousin's speech, everyone was shocked, and the female translator and Kenya both took out their notebooks and wrote them down, but the purpose of their records was very different - the female translator was for research, while Kenya used it as writing material.

"That stone can also be turned into explosives after encountering alcohol, and that kind of stone is the vomit of the female 'monkey eagle', I didn't expect that the feces of this 'human bird' can be used as explosives directly, is there any connection between the two? I suspect that both the 'monkey eagle' and the 'human bird' have something to do with this crater, and since the excrement in their bodies has explosives, does it mean that there is a substance in this crater that can be transformed into explosives after being eaten by the 'monkey eagle' and the 'human bird' and transformed in their bodies? ”

After listening to Xiao Lei's speculation, the madman six and his cousin both practiced and nodded, and I also felt that what Xiao Lei said was very reasonable - the secretions of the two animals can form explosives, which is by no means a coincidence, but should be intrinsically linked.

I don't know if it's because of Xiao Lei's words, so that the crazy six suddenly thought of something, I saw him stand up suddenly, and said a little hurriedly: "Quick, let's go to the crater in the back immediately, there should be unexpected discoveries, perhaps, we can solve the mystery of Xiao Lei and Hongmei's disappearance." ”

It was too sudden, and his words were a bit informative, and before we could react, he had already picked up his umbrella and walked outside the house, and we stood up in a daze and followed him.

Everyone wanted to see what was going on with the madman Liu, but the cousin suddenly turned around and said, "Old sister-in-law, and Brother Ouyang, you two and the two 'monkey eagles', stay at home, lest the two 'monkey eagles' be tempted by that kind of flute again." ”

It was still raining heavily, and a few of us walked to the crater behind us with umbrellas and raincoats. What everyone doesn't understand is, what did my cousin find? What is the connection between the disappearance of Xiao Lei and Hongmei?

With this kind of mystery, everyone followed closely behind the madman six.

In the misty rain and fog, the crater became more and more mysterious, and when we walked to the side of the crater, at first glance, we didn't find anything unusual, but when we looked closely, we did find the strangeness of this crater - as Mr. and Mrs. Chen said before, it rained so heavily, and there was not even a puddle of water in this crater, which is indeed strange.

Maybe it's because Kenya is a reporter, so her observation seems to be sharper than ours, and this time, it was she who first noticed the anomaly: "You see, there's a grass growing in the pit. ”

We hurriedly followed the direction she pointed, and sure enough, next to a stone in the crater, there was indeed a grass growing.

If there is grass growing in other craters, it is very common, but the appearance of grass in this crater is extraordinary-because this crater has always been grassy, how can a grass suddenly grow? We hurriedly went down to the pit and took a closer look at the grass.

When we walked up to the grass and looked closely, all of us were shocked - the green 'grass', without a leaf, just a green stalk, came out of the stone. If you look closely, you can see that the 'grass' is squirming slightly.

Maniac Six held the umbrella and muttered, "That's right", then leaned down and gently touched the 'grass' with his hand, what was even more incredible was that the grass seemed to have a feeling, and when Maniac Six stroked it, it would swing gently, and at the same time, there seemed to be a strange sound coming from under the stone.

After a few strokes, the madman six held the 'grass' tightly, and then pulled it up violently, only to see the grass violently "struggle", but the madman six grabbed the slightest trace and just didn't let go, at this time, the stone under the grass began to creak, and we were all stunned when we stood next to it - this scene was too weird and unbelievable.

In the past, whether it was an amphibious man or a half-human, half-sheep monster, it was more of a fear, and after seeing more monsters, you would feel that it was understandable for any strange-shaped creature to appear in this kind of mountain, but this scene in front of us made us feel not fear, but an unimaginable weirdness.

With a creaking sound, a hole slowly appeared under the grass, and when the hole got bigger and bigger, something came out of the hole, and when they saw the strange thing clearly, everyone almost exclaimed in unison: "It's a 'human bird'!" ”。

The female translator, Hongmei, Sister Li, and two Japanese female assistants all screamed, turned their heads and didn't dare to look again, Mr. Chen and I are men after all, so it's a little better, especially since this is the second time I've seen each other, so the fear is not as strong as the first time, I mustered up my courage and looked at it twice, but I was still scared and my heart beat weakly.

It turned out that the green thing was not grass at all, but the tentacles on the head of the 'man and bird'! By this time, Maniac Six had already pulled the whole 'human bird' - a feathered, baby-like body with a huge bird head, and it was really weird and creepy to look at it so closely.

Xiao Lei, Crazy Six, and Cousin are still calm, Xiao Lei just wanted to go and help Crazy Six catch the 'human bird', but was stopped by Crazy Six .

That tentacle should be a very special part of the 'human bird's body, after being caught, it seems to be very painful, squeaking, but it does not dare to break free.

At this time, Madman Six took out a silver needle from his body and stabbed it fiercely in the neck of the 'human bird', and suddenly, the "human bird" was paralyzed, and after lying on the ground and struggling a few times, he was motionless.

"The small hole in the courtyard, as well as the four small holes around it, and the bottom of the crater should have figured it out, after I cracked that 'Feng Shui Gu', the aura under the crater should have completely changed, and the 'human birds' may rely on that aura to survive, so the change in the environment inside made them very painful, so they couldn't help but climb out one by one.

It can be seen from the meridians that the 'human bird' that crawled out of the courtyard is male, and this one is female, so it has more green antennae on its head, this kind of male and female division is similar to the male and female division of 'monkey eagle', but it is no wonder that they are all related to this crater, so there are similarities in some aspects, and it is also normal. ”

Because Madman Six can see the meridians, whether it is for humans or other animals, he has his own unique perspective and can discover things that ordinary people can't find.

"When you went out just now, you said that you could unlock the secret of my and Hongmei's disappearance, could the disappearance of the two of us be related to this 'human bird'? But it's so small, how can it catch the two of us in the air? ”

Xiao Lei asked puzzled.
