Chapter 445: Red Curse
As soon as he heard Instructor Liu's question, Chen Ziyang knew that he and Yang Lei's eyes had betrayed the two of them just now. Just after hearing Instructor Liu's words, he and Yang Lei both glanced at each other, and there was a touch of shock in their eyes, because both of them had personally experienced what Instructor Liu had described, and since this was the case, it was impossible to hide it.
"On one of our visits to the grave, we also encountered the kind of plant you mentioned, but unfortunately, the plant is dead, and it looks like the same thing you described, and we have seen that red mist before." Chen Ziyang said perfunctorily.
In fact, what Chen said was a bit against his will, but Chen Ziyang really didn't want to describe too much to Instructor Liu what happened in the Bohai Palace. Yang Lei is okay to say, after all, he is just a bystander, but Chen Ziyang has personally experienced the power of that red mist.
At that time, because of the fall of a boulder, a gap of several meters wide appeared on the stone bridge that was only more than one person wide in the Bohai Palace. Chen Ziyang, who was standing at the other end of the gap, thought that he was dead, but when he took the bottle containing the red mist thrown by Xiao Na and inhaled the red mist into his body, he really felt the effect of these red mist.
When those red mist were inhaled into his body, Chen Ziyang felt that his whole body had inexhaustible strength, and just by exerting his feet, he jumped over the broken bridge several meters wide. Although it was still a little worse at that time, he didn't jump over completely, but fell into the abyss, but even so, the distance he jumped was impossible to jump over at all.
By this time, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei already believed what Instructor Liu said, after all, people who were not really exposed to these things could not describe the strange plants and those strange red mist, and Instructor Liu was able to say this, proving that he did know the relevant situation.
Hearing Chen Ziyang say this, Instructor Liu's face showed a look of disappointment, and then he continued: "After my boss's ancestor got that plant out, it was like a demon, and for the rest of his life, he devoted all his energy to studying this strange plant.
But no matter how much he studied, he never got those red mist, after all, the dragon's blood strain was dead, and it was already difficult to get another clue.
However, he had personally experienced the effect of this red mist, so he never gave up. Even in later days, my boss's ancestors were looking for clues to this strange plant.
Every time he went to the grave, or when he had other friends go to the grave, he would look for clues to this strange plant. Because this plant is blood-red all over, my boss's ancestor gave this strange plant a name, called dragon's blood strain.
At that time, he didn't know what kind of effect the mist emitted from this red plant had, he just knew that this red mist could instantly replenish people's physical strength, but this was already very attractive.
Later, in a Tang Dynasty tomb, my boss's ancestor finally encountered this strange plant again, and he was delighted that the plant he encountered at that time was actually alive.
But the most strange thing for him was that the plant was growing in a place similar to a mass grave. Beneath the plant lay countless bones, and the plant's roots stretched downward, wrapping around countless human bones.
Because the level of science and technology at that time was not very developed, my boss's ancestors did not come to a clear conclusion, but he roughly studied that the growth environment of this plant is very strange, and the growth of dragon's blood strains needs human blood as nutrients to survive. ”
When Instructor Liu said this, Xiao Ren and the team doctor showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Originally, these two people didn't believe much what Instructor Liu said, but when these two people heard what Chen Ziyang said, the two of them also believed it a little.
After all, Chen Ziyang and Instructor Liu have a hostile relationship, and he has no reason to help Instructor Liu speak, so Chen Ziyang's words still have a certain degree of credibility.
From Chen Ziyang's words, the two of them knew that what Instructor Liu said was not groundless and false, but probably true. However, when the two of them heard that the growth of the dragon blood strain needed the help of human blood, they still showed very surprised expressions, after all, this kind of thing is unbelievable to anyone.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Instructor Liu said: "You don't believe it, right, it's no wonder you, when I first heard about this matter, I was much more surprised than you, who can believe this kind of thing."
But have you ever thought that there are a lot of strange plants in this world, and these strange plants need a lot of strange things to grow.
I remember that in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", there is a kind of seven-star begonia, which needs to be watered with wine to be able to live, and if you think about it this way, it is reasonable that the dragon blood plant needs human blood to grow, and it is not so difficult to accept.
Because of this living dragon's blood strain, coupled with knowing the cultivation method of the dragon's blood strain, my boss's ancestor finally obtained that red mist from the dragon's blood strain. He tried to inhale the red mist several times, but he unexpectedly learned the secret.
In addition to discovering that the mist of the dragon's blood strain can prolong life, my boss's ancestor also discovered two fatal shortcomings of this red mist.
The first is that this kind of fog is like a drug, it will make people addictive, make people extremely dependent, if you don't inhale this red fog for a long time, it will make people uncomfortable and crazy. And the second drawback of this red mist is why I'm here.
Inhaling this red mist for a long time will cause some adverse reactions in the person who smokes it. In the beginning, the skin of the smoker is all red, and this symptom is accompanied by an increased heart rate and a violent mood.
The side effect of this red mist can cause the smoker to feel extremely violent, and if it is not vented in a short period of time, the smoker will explode and die. Several of my boss's ancestors' friends who went to the grave together were either killed for murder, arrested for murder, or died because they didn't vent their tyrannical emotions in their hearts in time, and none of them ended up with a good end anyway.
To mitigate the effects of this side effect and to be able to live a few more years with the help of the red mist, my boss's ancestors continued to study this red plant. Decades after he discovered the Living Dragon Blood Bead, my boss's ancestor had already crossed the age of 100, and it was during that time that he finally found a clue.
It turned out that this strange plant was introduced from the Western Regions, and the first place where this plant was introduced was in this ancient country.
As for the place where this clue was found, I think you can also guess that it was in the previous tomb. Moreover, my boss's ancestors discovered that the builder of that ancient tomb was likely inextricably linked to the people of this ancient country. This is exactly what happened, and the picture on the stele told us this before.
But unfortunately, he did not escape the fate of death after all, and under the side effects of that red mist, he still exploded and died. So the burden of finding clues fell on my boss.
A hundred-year-old man, plus he has the physique of a young man under the influence of the red mist, so my boss is already his fifth generation.
After several tosses, this matter finally revealed a trace of eyebrows. My boss found out about the ancient kingdom of Sumi, and also found the treasure of the ancient kingdom of Sumi, but this treasure is not like other treasures are some valuable things, but refers to the main plant of this dragon's blood plant, that is, the ancient tree that appeared on the previous mural. ”
Hearing this, everyone felt a little short of breath. Even if this red mist will cause the person who smokes it to explode and die, it is extremely attractive for anyone to increase their lifespan by a few decades out of thin air.
And now everyone knows that the reason why they came here is related to the root cure of the side effects of this red mist, if they can find a cure for the side effects of this red mist, then it can be said that this red mist has become perfect, this temptation is quite large, and few people can resist it.
"As the gateway to the Central Plains and the Western Regions on the Silk Road, there are countless secrets hidden here, maybe the dragon's blood strain is just one of many secrets, maybe the most insignificant one, but its role is huge.
As you may have seen in the previous frescoes, the immigrants of the ancient kingdom took away the seeds of this ancient tree, and it is very likely that the dragon's blood strain was propagated through these taken seeds.
My boss found out that in the main strain of this dragon's blood strain, there may be a way to completely cure the side effects of the dragon's blood strain. That's why we're here, to get something from the mysterious tree at the end of the passage.
As for what I want to get, I don't want to tell you, you will naturally know when the time comes, but all this is just speculation, but the possibility is very large, so I don't want to reveal it to you now.
My boss can be said to be rich and powerful, as long as we can help him completely solve the side effects of the red mist, he can ensure that you three generations have no worries about food and clothing. There's even a good chance he'll take out the mist secreted by the dragon's blood strain and share it, adding decades to each of you's lifespan. As for where to go, you can choose for yourselves. ”
Chen Ziyang didn't expect Instructor Liu to make such a move at the end. Should I say it or not, Instructor Liu's trick was very effective, Yu Chen Ziyang saw that even Yang Lei was a little moved, and he saw a trace of desire and greed in Yang Lei's eyes.
Adding a few decades of lifespan out of thin air is too attractive, not to mention that there is endless money as a second-layer lure, and even Chen Ziyang himself is a little tempted.
Although in the eyes of others, perhaps Instructor Liu's words were a bit exaggerated, Chen Ziyang knew that it was very likely that Instructor Liu's description was still conservative. The red mist emitted by the dragon's blood strain may have done more than just increase a person's lifespan. However, at this time, Chen Ziyang's mind was not on this, and he found a loophole in Instructor Liu's words.
When she was in the Bohai Palace, everyone saw the dragon's blood strain for the first time, and they all showed surprised expressions, and even Xiao Na collected specimens from different parts of the dragon's blood plant, which seemed to be her going to take it back for careful study.
Judging by this, Shawna should have seen this strange plant for the first time. And Xiao Na is also a high-level member of the Dragon Digging Club, her status should be on par with Instructor Liu, even if it is low, it is not much lower.
But why is Instructor Liu so knowledgeable about the dragon blood strain, but Xiao Na is unheard of about this matter? Chen Ziyang couldn't figure this out.
If Xiao Na's actions at that time were to confuse herself, it was a little too unreasonable. First, there is no need for Shawna to confuse herself. Second, from Xiao Na's movements and eyes at the time, Chen Ziyang could see that it was indeed the first time she had seen this strange plant, otherwise, her acting skills would be too exaggerated, and she could almost win the Oscar.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very likely that it was still related to the dragon blood strain, after all, this matter was too unbelievable, and at the same time, the attraction was too great, it was likely that Instructor Liu's boss didn't want too many people to know, so he entrusted his most trusted Instructor Liu to handle this matter. Thinking like this, Xiao Na is forgivable for not knowing about the dragon's blood strain.
After Instructor Liu finished talking about what happened, all the people fell into contemplation, and Chen Ziyang could see that except for him, everyone else was moved, and even Yang Lei was a little unable to control it.
Seeing this situation, Chen Ziyang had no choice but to remind him kindly: "Although what you said is reasonable, and we also believe some of it, but the road ahead is still dangerous, this ancient country is really too evil, since we came here, a lot of strange things have happened, let's be careful, don't even if you have the life to get something, but you don't have the life to enjoy the extra decades." ”
Chen Ziyang's words had an effect, and the eyes of the others turned from fanaticism to reason, and everyone thought of this. But Chen Ziyang knew that Instructor Liu's words had captured the hearts of the team, and his previous efforts were in vain, and it seemed that there was no way to give up halfway in this matter, and it still needed to be carried out.
