Chapter 50: Mahogany fungus
After listening to Zhao Haipeng's words, each of us had an unnatural expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If there is a parasitic bug in the human body, although the thing is disgusting, it can still be understood, and the decoction should also have a way to treat it.
But if you are like Old Man Hui, a "fungus" grows in the body coldly...... The devil knows what will happen.
After Zhao finished speaking, Hui Siqi asked eagerly, "Then ...... How did the fungus get in? Will it be fatal? How can I save it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Haipeng opened his mouth and said to Hui Siqi: "Don't worry, first of all, you understand that this thing is not an ordinary fungus, but a barbed 'red ear', which is also a kind of fungus." ”
Zhao Haipeng said that fungus is a kind of fungus, and the black fungus and white fungus we eat are fungi rather than plants.
And the fungus has a strange property, that is, it must parasitize certain animals and plants, and use other people's nourishment to reproduce.
For example, the fungus we see on TV is often parasitic on the branches of trees, and the Cordyceps sinensis we are familiar with is also a fungus that parasitizes insects.
And the red ear mentioned by Zhao Haipeng is one of them.
Zhao said: "There are not many species of red fungus, and the distribution is scarce, mainly growing in the Wuyi Mountain area of Liangguang and the coast......"
This kind of fungus is also called "blood amaranth velvet", the color is red, can be used in medicine, the basic effect is no different from the ordinary black fungus, but because of the red color of blood, and grows between the branches of ancient trees, so the local people think that it is poisonous, and it is transformed by the blood of ancient wood.
Like ordinary fungus, the blood amaranth velvet ear is divided into two categories in terms of appearance, one is the "slippery ear" that is smooth on both sides, and the other is the "wild hairy ear" with fluff on the reverse side, and there is occasionally a mutation in the wild hairy ear to produce a kind of fluffy barb-like "hooked hairy ear".
Speaking of which, Zhao Haipeng emphasized: "The piece of fungus that grows on the old man's chest is the hooked ear that has been made into a 'wood Gu'. ”
Zhao Haipeng has never seen that kind of fungus, but he has heard that it only grows in Wuyi Mountain, absorbs light during the day, and fluoresces at night.
Why do those mutated red fungus glow? It's scary to say, it's to attract phototaxis insects, and when the insect is attracted by the light at night and flies to the fungus, it will stick out the barb-like dorsal hair and grab the insect.
After that, the hairs will become a straw-like sharp weapon, hooking the insect and piercing the insect's internal organs, sucking its juice and turning it into nutrients for the fungus.
This...... It is a very cruel process.
The red fungus itself is not very "digestive" and is not poisonous, so the insects that are sucked into the nutrients will not die immediately.
The bugs will watch their bodies be sucked dry little by little by the fungus's velvet, and the whole process can even last for several days.
...... It's really alive!
Zhao Haipeng finally guessed that this mutation was probably due to the dense vegetation in the Wuyi Mountain area, fierce competition, and a serious shortage of nutrients for saprophytes, although it sounds weird, it is not uncommon in nature. Those pitcher plants, sperm vines, and all of them live on this.
Lao Zhao shook his head and said: "That ability was originally a skill that plants relied on to survive, but it was in the hands of people with ulterior motives...... It's a different story at all. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Haipeng told everyone about the filthy and vicious nature of this "spell" technique.
He said that the hook hair ear itself is a fungus, non-toxic and harmless, even if it can eat insects, it is not a threat to people.
But once this characteristic of it reaches the hands of those "secrets", it is completely different.
Taking advantage of this insect-eating characteristic, the secrets designed a "eating spell" that can make the fungus, which originally grew on rotten wood, grow in the human body and kill people.
The specific process is also disgusting to say. It is to find the eggs of a "skin fly" first, and then transplant a small piece of hooked hair ear into the inside of the egg of the skin fly, and soak it with freezing and medicinal wine to make a "fly Gu".
When they need to harm people, they get the fly Gu into the human body through a certain method, and at the constant temperature of the human body, the fly eggs and hooked hair ears wake up and grow at the same time.
After waking up, the hooked ears that grow in the body of the skin fly can only survive by cilia sucking the body fluids of the fly maggots. The skin fly is a parasite that can survive in the body of a living person, and they will puncture human blood vessels with their mouthparts, and then suck blood to grow......
In the end, this grafted "Gu" formed a strange internal circulation, the flies sucked the blood of people, and the hooked ears sucked the blood of the flies, and so on, until the fungus grew large enough to break the human organs and make people die of exhaustion.
Fungus is a fungus that grows very quickly, and if it is not a place, then at most two or three days, people will ...... because of its crazy growth Die.
...... As he spoke, Zhao Haipeng raised the chest X-ray photo in his hand and said: "The one in this photo is not a butterfly, but a fungus hyphae that grow symmetrically on both sides of the skin fly larvae, and the black spot in the middle is the skin fly larvae." ”
After Lao Zhao said this, when each of us looked at the things in the chest X-ray photo again, our faces were involuntarily slightly pale.
This spell of "planting fungus" in the human body once again made me feel the weirdness of the "eating curse" of the Five Organs Temple, and made me understand these cooks...... It's best not to provoke.
At the same time, I strengthened my thoughts, this Hui family's affairs are not easy to mix too much, we can't afford to offend people by standing in the wrong line, and being planted by others to plant such a thing, it is really better to live than to die.
Hui Heiqi, who heard Zhao Haipeng say this, was overjoyed, and she couldn't help grabbing Zhao Haipeng's hand and said, "Big brother, you know so clearly, there is a way to save my father's life!"
As he spoke, Hui Siqi was emotional.
Old Zhao Chong's second miss smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you want to put it in the past, you will die within three days, and there is no possibility of survival, but modern society is so advanced in science and technology, it is ...... to treat this It's a piece of cake. ”
While speaking, Zhao Haipeng turned around and instructed He Zhibai: "Eldest sister, can you find me a syringe, a bottle of methyl chloride, and then let the medical staff prepare a drip of glucose." ”
He Zhibai nodded, and immediately went to do it.
After ordering this, we all knew that Zhao Haipeng was confident in removing the fungus in Old Man Hui's body, so we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, my curiosity rose again, so I asked Zhao Haipeng: "Old Zhao, you are the abbot of the Confucius Palace, how do you know so many Cantonese dishes in the Wuling Palace?"
"This ......" Zhao Haipeng was asked by me, and suddenly he was a little hesitant, as if I had said something painful.
In this regard, Zhao Shuihe said with a big grin: "I don't know, when the Zhao family in Lunan was beautiful in the past, it was very close to a family surnamed Lei in Wuling Palace, and later it wasn't for Lei Ren's ......."
Zhao Shuihe's words suddenly caused Zhao Haipeng's huge reaction, so that Lao Zhao suddenly opened his mouth unprecedentedly and threatened Zhao Shuihe: "Shuihe! If you want to mention that name again, I will sew your mouth shut!"
Zhao Haipeng said angrily!
