Chapter 395: Mysterious Mermaid
After listening to the old man's words, we were all surprised, as if we were all strangers to the insects he said--isn't that the "vein ghost"?
As for the case of infection with the "pulse ghost", the madman six has talked about it, and we still have to remember, especially the case of the Shanghai woman, which makes us shudder just thinking about it, and the old Japanese man Tanaka also suffers from it, but fortunately, there is a madman six, and he has a way to deal with this kind of "pulse ghost", which makes us feel at ease.
So, we told the old man a little bit about the ins and outs of the "veining ghost", and after listening to it, the old man's eyes widened, and he looked both surprised and frightened: "Oh, my God, I can't imagine that kind of worm is so terrible, but your explanation can explain what happened next, and it is really terrible." ”
The old man gasped heavily, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "I was staring blankly at the worm on the ground, and suddenly, something popped out of the darkness, because it was dark, and I didn't have a flashlight, so I couldn't see what it was, and at this moment, there was a sudden lightning in the sky, and in the light of lightning, I saw the thing clearly, his grandmother dropped, it was a monster that I had never seen before, and I almost fainted with fright.
For decades, I have lived alone in the mountains, and I am said to be bold enough, but this monster that suddenly appeared is really terrifying. ”
Speaking of this, the old man closed his eyes in pain, trembling a little, we were a little surprised to see his reaction, what could scare the old man like this?
The cub of the amphibian man is terrible enough, the old man has seen it with his own eyes, and we have not noticed how scared he is, so it can be seen that he is really not a timid person, but it may be in the daytime, and it is with us, if you are alone, in the middle of the night, it will indeed feel different.
Seeing that his love was so intense, we didn't rush to ask, just waited quietly beside us, and Sister Li intimately handed the old man a cup of hot tea at this time.
The old man took the tea and took a sip, let out a long breath, and then calmed down a little.
"Under that flash of lightning, the monster I saw, at first glance, was a fox, and it was still red, but its face was very much like a human face, and its facial features were extremely hideous, and its ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and eyebrows, although it was very deformed, were all the same, like the face of a baby, and it smiled at me with its teeth bared!
I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground, the fox-like monster, jumped, slowly approached me, I wanted to stand up and run away, but the limbs were limp and had no strength at all, the monster suddenly screamed, pounced and wanted to attack me, fortunately the 'monkey eagle' next to him rushed over, stretched out its claws, and scratched the monster's face, the monster screamed, and then fled, when escaping, the worm on the ground, also rubbed, entangled the monster. ”
Although we were not physically present, we couldn't help but get goosebumps all over our bodies when we heard the old man say this.
After speaking, the old man was much more relaxed, and his tone was calm, and he said slowly: "I heard you say that the insect - that is, the 'vein ghost' you call - can parasitize in the meridians of people, not only people, but also the meridians of animals, it may also be parasitic, I think that monster is actually a fox, is it parasitized by the 'vein ghost', will it have a human face?" ”
We have to admire the old man's quick thinking, it seems that he is indeed not simple-minded, and he can draw inferences so quickly. As for whether his inference is correct or not, this has to be judged by the madman six, because he is the one who knows the "pulse ghost" and the meridians of the human body best.
So, we all immediately set our sights on Maniac Six.
The madman Liu's face was contemplative, as if he was thinking about the old man's inference, and when he saw that we were all looking at him, he smiled slightly and said: "Old man Ouyang's inference is very reasonable, this kind of 'vein ghost' is very peculiar, don't look at it as just a slender worm, but it is extremely different from ordinary insects, needless to say anything else, its usual winding shape is very special, ordinary people may not be able to see it, but I know that no matter where this 'vein ghost' is, its entanglement shape is actually the shape of the human body's meridians, do you think it's strange?"
After it is parasitic in the animal's meridians, it is very likely that it will change the animal's meridians in a certain way, and when the animal's meridians change, its appearance, including the face and head, will also change to a certain extent.
There is such an incident recorded in the history books, when Tang Xuanzong was in power, there was a small country in the Western Regions, and there was a 'fish man', why is it called 'fish man'? It's because the fish has a "human face", of course, there should still be a big gap between that kind of human face and the real human face, but it doesn't look like a fish head at all.
At that time, a Taoist priest said that this fish was actually infected by the 'vein ghost', and then its head and face became human-like. However, the Taoist priest added that not all fish can do this, because the lifespan of ordinary fish is too short, and the difference between the meridians and people is also relatively large, so even if they are infected by the 'vein ghost', their head and face will not change much, let alone become similar to people. According to the current scientific standards, the baby fish is actually not a fish, but an amphibian, and has a very long lifespan, which can live for more than 100 years.
Therefore, after this baby fish is infected by the 'pulse ghost', the facial features of the head can change drastically, and eventually become similar to a human.
Some historians say that it was only after this account was transmitted to the West that the legend of the 'mermaid' was born, but of course, this point is still very controversial in the academic circles. ”
Crazy Sixth is really extraordinary, not only a few of us, but even Old Man Ouyang nodded again and again with admiration on his face.
The mystery of Old Man Ouyang's disappearance was temporarily solved, but more mysteries followed: Why did the "Vein Ghost" suddenly appear again? And it is still a well-targeted attack on the "Monkey Eagle", who is behind this?
Also, we are not unfamiliar with that kind of flute sound, the last time we were in the hotel in the county town, we encountered it, it was the deformed amphibious man, with a strange leaf - in fact, that is, the organ of the "vine demon" - blown out, after people heard it, they would be weak and weak.
Why is this qiē reproduced in this hotel? And coupled with the old Lu who didn't know the details, it once again made us feel an inexplicable unease and panic.
Although the life and death of the blind man are still undecided, even if he is dead, if we do not understand the reasons behind these strange phenomena, we still cannot live a peaceful life.
Thinking about what we have to do, the secrets we have to crack, and so much more, it's a long way to go.
Hongmei and Crazy Six, and hurriedly checked the arrow wound of the "Monkey Eagle", the bad thing is that the wound is actually a little infected, and it began to ooze pus, but also, after this toss, plus the wind and rain, it is strange that it is not infected.
So, Hongmei and Crazy Six hurriedly helped the "Monkey Eagle" clean the wound, put anti-inflammatory drugs, and used a kind of medical tape to stick it on the wound.
"Monkey Eagle" nodded to the madman Six and Hongmei, and called twice, and the old man translated for it: "It is thanking you two for treating it."
"Well, this bird is really human, you're welcome, in fact, you have also helped us a lot, and I will inevitably trouble you in the future", the madman six said to the "monkey eagle" seriously. Watching this interesting interaction between people and birds, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed a lot.
Yes, this big bird, but it is a strange bird, and it will definitely help us a lot in the future, and when it is healed, we will rely on it to take us to the bottom of the cliff.
It's still pouring rain outside, it's been a long time since it's rained so much, and it seems that we are trapped in this mountain hotel, but in this way, our mood is not so anxious.
There is no urgency, such a heavy rain, there is no way to go anywhere, especially in this mountain, this kind of heavy rain is the most dangerous to travel, then we have to "come to it, then it is safe".
Just as everyone was looking at the heavy rain outside the window and talking about the recent weird experiences, there was a knock on the door, and I hurriedly walked over to open the door, but when we saw the person outside, we couldn't help but be taken aback: it was no one else who knocked on the door, it was that Lao Lu!
Not only was I surprised, but everyone in the room was stunned.
When everyone froze there, it was Lao Lu who spoke first: "Oh, there are so many people, it's so lively, I'm sorry, old man, I'm here to disturb you again, what, aren't you welcome?" ”
He said with a smile on his face, a little self-deprecating.
As soon as Lao Lu said this, Old Man Ouyang reacted and hurriedly greeted: "Ha, welcome, welcome, come in, let me introduce to you, this is Lao Lu, a medicinal herb merchant, and also a doctor with profound attainments. ”
"Hello everyone, ha, the old gentleman has won the award, and I can only be regarded as a rough doctor at most." Lao Lu greeted everyone and entered the room.
This sudden unexpected situation made each of us a little panicked, because none of us expected that Lao Lu would take the initiative to come again, could it be that the series of strange things that happened yesterday had nothing to do with him?
At this time, my heart suddenly tightened, and I hurriedly looked at the position where the "Monkey Eagle" was standing, and found that the "Monkey Eagle" had disappeared at some point, and I was relieved that it must have been hidden by itself or by the old man.
This old Lu should have known about the "monkey eagle" for a long time, and even if he didn't know it before, the waiter at the hotel would have told him - we can almost certainly say that the waiter must have been instructed by Lao Lu.
However, if he sees the "monkey eagle" in person and asks directly, we are not easy to answer.
Moreover, this old Lu is still in the old man's room, secretly installing a bugging device, but at this time, he can greet and chat with us like no one, it seems that this person is really insidious.
Thinking of Xiao Lei's words yesterday, I hurriedly looked at the old man's feet, and sure enough, I found that he was still wearing a pair of angled drags, and the gap between the thumb of the foot and the other four toes was very large.
Could it be that this old Lu is really Japanese? Fortunately, there are three real Japanese women in the house, can they tell if this old Lu is Japanese or not?
