Chapter 165: Evil Magic and Worms
Gray Ye next told a story.
According to legend, during the war between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, there were many defections on the side of the Song army. While the battle was going on, some people in the Song army suddenly began to cut down the people on their side as if they were crazy, which led to heavy casualties in the Song army, and finally almost all of them collapsed.
By chance, some soldiers found that the kind of people who suddenly went crazy had a kind of yellow worm like a silk thread in their bodies when they were hacked to death, so the soldiers said that it was this strange insect that made them go crazy in battle, and cut them indiscriminately.
When there were many rumors, Song Jun launched an investigation into the matter and dissected the corpses. Surprisingly, there were no insects in the corpses, but their bones were densely covered with small eyes, which were obviously drilled by insects.
Later, Song Jun caught a few more crazy people and dissected them alive, and the result was shocking, in the bodies of those people, they were all that kind of yellow worms, which were still alive when they were first cut out, and it didn't take long for them to melt and disappear. It seems that they can only parasitize on living people, and once the host dies, they cannot survive.
At first, the generals of the Song army thought that these soldiers had eaten something with insect eggs by mistake, so they strengthened dietary management, however, it was useless, as long as the war started, there were always people who went crazy, and there were not a few.
So rumors spread, some people said that they had eaten millet with worm eggs, and since then Song Jun would rather starve to death than eat millet.
But even so, there are still madmen in every big war. At this time, someone suggested that the two armies were at war and the stronghold was not far away, why was there no such thing on the Liao army's side? The generals of the Song army had no countermeasures, so they had to search for famous doctors in the DPRK and find the root cause.
The imperial doctors of the DPRK and China took turns to fight, but they could not find out the reason, until one day, a sloppy old man wearing rags and straw sandals, came to see the general, saying that he knew the reason for the incident.
The general asked him what was going on.
He replied that the worm was not an ordinary worm, it was an insect that was raised by the insect controller to harm people, and the worm was smaller than an ant at the beginning, but once it entered the human body, it grew very fast, absorbed the nutrients in human bones, and released a substance that could paralyze the nerves, so that people could not feel pain.
But as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, the insect controller controlled the insects to no longer release the pain-relieving substance, and the person immediately felt unbearable pain all over the body, like ten thousand ants gnawing on it, and even if he would go crazy, he would make a slashing action when he saw someone.
If the cause is found, it is only necessary to reproduce the person who controls the insect and remove it, and this can prevent this from happening again.
The general asked Lao Dao for help.
I saw that the old man took out a box from his arms and released a red insect similar to a centipede, and the old man muttered a few words, and the strange insect quickly got into a tent and stopped beside a soldier.
Before the soldier could understand what was going on, he was taken down by everyone.
After some searching, the soldier found a box full of the little yellow bugs that were born in the new......
After the gray master finished speaking, I fell into deep thought.
According to Gray Ye, the murderer should be an insect controller, he first set fire to those girls, and then killed the villagers of Xiaozhu Village with insects.
"What is his purpose in doing this?" I asked with a frown.
"Maybe it's for insects." The gray master is not too sure, after all, this thing sounds terrifying enough.
"Rustling ......"
A chaotic sound suddenly sounded, like nibbling on mulberry leaves, and like the claws of many animals scratching the ground at the same time......
"it!" The fat man screamed.
I jerked my head back, and the scene behind me gave me goosebumps.
On the dim ground, a large area of black pressure appeared at some point, and it was moving quickly towards us.
There are centipedes as long as children's arms, flower snakes two or three meters long, scorpions the size of palms, and all kinds of strange-shaped insects......
"What the fuck is going on?" I scolded, was it really said by the gray master, this is the insect breeding place of the insect controller? Is it that the nets on the outside are broken, and the insects inside are getting here?
"Fuck it!" The fat man scolded his mother and shouted, "Master Gray, why are these guys so big? Is it mutated? Will it be toxic? ”
Hearing this, the gray master hurriedly said: "These are all insects raised by evil methods in the land of the most yin, they are bound to be extremely poisonous, don't be bitten ......"
In the face of thousands of bugs, we didn't even have the courage to run out, so we could only retreat and dodge.
The four of us didn't need to be reminded, and we didn't pay so much attention to it, so we climbed directly onto the pile of corpses and ran in desperately.
The gray master ran the fastest, as a thousand-year-old demon, its speed was definitely not covered.
I grabbed him and whispered, "Master, what are you running?" Isn't the demonic energy in your body able to suppress all kinds of animals? You play to your strengths and scare them off. ”
The gray master broke free from me, and said without replying: "Do you think I don't want to, these insects have been raised in the corpse breeding ground for an unknown number of years, and they are no longer insects in the usual sense, and they are not afraid of demons at all." ”
"What then? We were able to hide for a while, but not for long, and they immediately caught up. ”
"Let's look for an exit first, and then make a plan if there is no exit."
Very disappointed, after crossing the corpse pile, the entire hole in the ground is clear at a glance, let alone speak, even the space in this is pitiful.
In this way, we were blocked in the hole by countless bugs.
All the insects were menacing, with a cannibalistic posture, and suddenly surged to our feet.
I stepped on it with my feet raised, and my hands were not idle, and a bone sword was wielding a tiger.
The fat man's wooden stick played a role, he smashed the head of a big snake flattened, jumped to his feet, his face turned pale, and said dejectedly: "This is into the nest of insects, I knew that I would be eaten by insects when I came in, it is better to be haunted by female ghosts!" ”
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four, not to mention that we are facing this endless army of bugs?
All our efforts pale in comparison.
"Ahh
The fat man scolded and shouted: "Damn, little beast, I want to eat your fat grandfather, see if I can't kill you, let you know how good Lao Tzu is!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a lighter and rushed to the pile of corpses regardless of it, picked up a corpse and lit it, the corpse had clothes, and corpse oil oozed from the skin, and it was immediately on fire.
The fat man carried the corpse around the ground and said viciously: "You want to eat me!" No way, let's die! ”
