Chapter 621: Yin and Yang Nose Worm
"Who are you two? Why did you come here? Shangguan Kangning turned his head to Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei while packing up his things.
Because Shangguan Kangning had been keeping his head down before, Chen Ziyang didn't see his face clearly, but now that Shangguan Kangning raised his head, he found that this person was still quite handsome.
Shangguan Kangning is estimated to be around 30 years old, with well-defined facial features, a high nose bridge and a melon seed face, giving people a feeling of heroism, especially his eyes, the black eyes are very large, and they are extraordinarily spiritual.
However, it may be because of the perennial exposure to external wind and rain, Shangguan Kangning's complexion is dark and his skin is slightly rough. If his skin was better and his complexion was whiter, he would not be inferior to those little fresh meat just by his looks.
Just as Chen Ziyang opened his mouth, about to ask if the person in front of him was Shangguan Kangning, his words were suddenly interrupted by the villagers in the house.
After a few words to Shangguan Kangning, the villagers in the room lifted the plank under the old man and left the house with him. Shangguan Kangning got up and sent them out.
In the process, Chen Ziyang noticed a detail, Shangguan Kangning had been carrying his backpack when he got up to see off the villagers.
His action made people feel a little incongruous, and then Chen Ziyang understood, it was estimated that Shangguan Kangning's backpack was full of some cultivated Gu worms. There are two outsiders here, and Shangguan Kang would rather not dare to leave his treasures here casually.
"You two are here to spend the night, aren't you? Could it be a travel friend? It's rare for someone to go so far for a hike. The smell of the smell in this house is so strong that if you do want to spend the night, I can take you to the village ahead, where there are many empty houses. ”
After returning to the house, Shangguan Kangning said to Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, obviously, he didn't expect that these two people were coming specifically for him.
"This room does have some smell and is not suitable for people, but it couldn't be better to talk about. We're going to spend the night today, but before we do that, can I say a few words to you? ”
Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Shangguan Kangning was stunned for a moment. When he was treating a patient just now, he realized that there was something wrong with the two people in front of him.
The thing of Gu art is basically lost now, and there are really very few people who know how to raise Gu and use Gu, not to mention that ordinary people want to see the use of Gu to cure diseases with their own eyes, but they have basically never even heard of it.
And just now, when these two people watched themselves treating patients, they didn't show any surprised expressions, as if these two people had long known that they would use Gu, although they were still a little surprised, but the degree of surprise was much smaller.
Moreover, when these two people saw that they were using Gu to cure their diseases, they actually stayed on their faces most of the time, instead of focusing on those Gu worms. Coupled with what Chen Ziyang said just now, Shangguan Kangning raised his vigilance, and looked at the two people in front of him with solemn faces.
Feeling the hostility emanating from Shangguan Kangning's body, Chen Ziyang hurriedly said, "I want to ask, are you called Shangguan Kangning?" ”
After hearing his name, Shangguan Kangning frowned, staring at Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei at a loss, he never thought that in such a remote place, there would be people who knew him.
"That's not right!" Shangguan Kangning reacted suddenly, this place is inaccessible, if you want to come over, you need to walk for at least 15 days, the mountain road here is not a joke, if you are not careful, there is a possibility of losing your life, so thinking about it, these two people came to find themselves.
"Who are you? Why do you know my name, there is no mistake, I am indeed called Shangguan Kangning. As he spoke, Shangguan Kangning grabbed the strap of his backpack.
Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei looked at each other and smiled, sure enough, there was nothing wrong, this was really a great favor for the two of them, and they didn't expect to find the right owner so easily.
"You don't have to be nervous, we don't have any hostility towards you, we are Xu Xiaoyuan, that is, friends of Daogu Yuan, we have some things about Gu worms that we want to consult you, so we came all the way to find them."
"Aunt Dao? Is she here too? Where is she now? ”
"We came with a total of five people, and in order to find you, the other three went to the village on the east side of the mountain range."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyuan's name, Shangguan Kangning really let down his guard, carried his backpack, and walked in the direction of Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, seemingly wanting to sit next to the two of them and talk again.
"Wait a minute, don't go forward yet, if you really want to come, I suggest you put your backpack down. If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of Gu worms in your backpack, and when these Gu worms get close to me, they will react strangely, and it will be easy to get restless, and I am afraid that you will be difficult to control when the time comes. ”
"This is really interesting, if you are really friends of Dao Gu of Elimination Fate, you should know that these Gu worms have been staying by my side since they were cultivated, unless I give an order, no one can let these Gu worms make even one move."
Shangguan Kangning's face showed a playful smile, and he scoffed at Chen Ziyang's reminder, and he walked in the direction of the two people regardless of it.
"Come on, Er Yang, there's another one who doesn't listen to persuasion, this kid is a little too confident, but I like it, see how he ends up in a while." Yang Lei locked his gaze on Shangguan Kangning's face, quietly waiting for his expected expression to appear.
It seems that he deliberately wants to show his Gu control technique, Shangguan Kangning's pace forward is very large, and the speed is also very fast, his meaning is obvious, that is, he wants Chen Ziyang to see how confident he is in his Gu worms.
And just as Shangguan Kangning walked a step or two in front of the two of them, he suddenly stopped, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Chen Ziyang saw that Shangguan Kangning's hand gripping the strap of the backpack tightened, and it was obvious that he should have felt the movement of those Gu worms in the backpack.
At this time, Shangguan Kangning took two steps back, took off his backpack, put it on the ground, and kept fiddling with the contents of the backpack. Although Chen Ziyang couldn't see what he was fiddling with, he could hear the sound of some glass bottles colliding.
"A little farther away, a little farther away." Chen Ziyang said to Shangguan Kangning, who looked surprised, and at the same time stretched out his hand and waved his hand, looking helpless.
After fiddling with the backpack for a while, the expression on Shangguan Kangning's face still did not relax, and a few drops of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
In desperation, Shangguan Kangning had no choice but to follow Chen Ziyang's advice, took the backpack and took a few steps back, and once again appeased the Gu worms in the backpack, this time because of the distance, he finally calmed down the restless Gu worms in the backpack.
After looking at Chen Ziyang with an incredulous expression, Shangguan Kangning asked, "What the hell is going on?" I've been raising Gu for more than 20 years......"
"It's never been like this, has it? We've heard this sentence several times, and it was your sister Shangguan Qing who said it. ”
The current Shangguan Kang Ning had completely let down his guard against Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, if these two people were really hostile to him, they would not tell him in advance that the Gu worm would move.
As long as he gets close to them, he will lose control of the Gu worms in his backpack, and at that time, he can be said to have lost his biggest support, and it is a good time for these two people to make a move.
Now it seems that these two people did not do this, but reminded them before, which proves that they should indeed be friends of the Dao Gu.
"You've seen my sister come all the way here, and it seems that you really have something very important to do."
"We can know that you are here is what your sister Shangguan Qing told us, I know you don't know what's going on now, in fact, I don't know, it's like this......"
Chen Ziyang briefly explained the ins and outs of the whole matter, including how they found Shangguan Qing, what happened in Shangguan Qing's home, how they came here with all the difficulty, and the purpose of their search for Shangguan Kangning.
Just like Shangguan Qing's reaction before, the current Shangguan Kangning was interested, and even his reaction was even greater than that of his sister.
Through some previous things, Chen Ziyang concluded that this Shangguan Kangning is a Gu idiot, and he is very obsessed with Gu worms, so whether it is the Gu book pattern that Shangguan Kangning does not have in his hand, or it can cause the mutation of Gu worms, no matter which of these two points, it has an irresistible temptation for Shangguan Kangning.
"We know you're looking for a rare bug, and we're pressed for time, so let's get down to business. Can you please help me take a look at this Gu album? After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, he took out the picture of the Gu beast.
This time, Shangguan Kangning was obedient, he put his backpack aside, walked to Chen Ziyang's side without carrying Gu worms, picked up the paper and looked at it.
"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, this person just didn't listen to persuasion." At this time, Yang Lei did not forget to tease him.
Staring at the pattern on the paper for a long time, Shangguan Kangning's two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and then his eyes widened violently.
"This ...... Such a rare Gu, where did you learn about it! After Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei entered the room, Shangguan Kangning's surprises were one after another.
"Listen to your tone, do you know this bug?" Hope appeared in Chen Ziyang's eyes. Originally, he thought that Shangguan Kangning would probably not recognize this kind of Gu worm after watching it for such a long time, but he didn't expect that in the end, Shangguan Kangning's words would change.
"This Gu worm should have disappeared for hundreds of years, I didn't think about it in that direction at first, I didn't expect that what you brought was such an ancient thing, but when I thought about it, I noticed that the characteristics of the original Gu worm were so obvious.
This kind of Gu worm should be called a two-nosed worm, which has not appeared since the Song Dynasty, and all records are before the Song Dynasty.
You see, there are two claws on the front of the head of the bug, but you don't notice that this pair of claws is different from the claws on other bugs.
Most of the claws are used by insects to eat, or used as weapons, and the claws are generally symmetrical to the left and right, slightly bent towards the head of the insect, and some of the claws will have some serrations or spikes on the inside of the claws.
The pair of claw-like things drawn in front of the head of this insect are very weird, they are straight, and there are spikes on both sides of the inner and outer sides.
In fact, this pair of things is not an insect at all, but the nose of this insect, or rather, the organ that this insect feels the smell of, just like the pair of antennae in front of the ant's head, so this insect is called a two-nosed worm.
It is precisely because of such a unique organ that this insect has a very keen sense of smell, dozens of times more powerful than a dog's nose. However, it is very interesting that this insect is only very sensitive to the smell of its companions, and does not react so strongly to other smells.
The females are relatively large, the largest of which is about the size of a grape grain, while the male is very small, usually the size of a grain of rice or a soybean.
The carapace of the insect has some very peculiar patterns, the pattern on the back of the female is crescent-shaped, while the pattern on the back of the male is a dot. Because of this, this bug is also known as the sun and moon nose worm.
However, the gender distribution of this insect is very uneven, the number of males is very large, the number of females is very small, and the proportion of males and females is huge.
It is said that during the mating season, the males of the sun-moon worm climb to the height of the branches of the tree, and then use their unusually keen sense of smell to find the female. Even when they are hundreds of kilometers apart, these males can smell the scent emanating from the females.
Of course, I only know a little about these things, and I'm not sure if this is the case, but judging from the pictures on the paper, I estimate that this insect is the male of the sun and moon nose worm. ”
Chen Ziyang took the paper from Shangguan Kangning's hand and stared at the picture carefully for a while. That's right, several characteristics of the insects drawn on the paper are exactly the same as what Shangguan Kangning said.
"That's right." Chen Ziyang reacted suddenly. The picture on the paper is a male insect, which is also a hint left by Yuan Tiangang.
As long as a few female insects are left near the treasure, then the person holding the male insect can use the male insect's sense of smell to find the location of the female insect with the help of the male insect's sense of smell, that is, the location of the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang. Treasure is on the horizon!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Ziyang's face, but after only a few seconds, the smile on his face froze as he thought of two questions.
