Chapter 15: The Blind Man's Eyes
The content after that was exactly as Zhang Jixun thought. It is mentioned in the records that the slender and abnormal bronze fox masked man clearly told Ma Chongshan that he had a way to restore Ma Chongshan to normal, but this method required the flesh and blood of his relatives to provide for him.
In order to prove his claim, the bronze fox masked man took out a small stone box from his body, opened it, and used a white jade piece to separate two spaces in the middle, and on each side slept a silkworm the thickness of a finger, one large and one small, lying quietly in it, motionless.
The surface of the big silkworm body is red and translucent, like chalcedony, and it is almost dripping blood inside. The smaller one was much darker, closer to taupe.
Ma Chongshan's eyes were stabbed by the red, and his heart ached, and he immediately thought of his brother who was still asleep in the stone cave, he hesitated for a moment and asked,
"My own blood to raise this silkworm, can't I?" The fox mask of the black shadow man looked like he was not smiling, and the narrow pupils behind the mask had a bit of sarcasm in it.
"From the moment you brought him to Buzaraang, you had already chosen."
"Now, either get out of my territory with your brother immediately, or stay and obediently follow my arrangement, and I will help you regain your life." Wild horse Chongshan could see that although they said so, they didn't mean to let people go at all, and the reason why they didn't do it was because they were afraid of something.
He has no choice, and the initiative is not in his own hands.
"What do you want from me?" He knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and he had to analyze more clues.
"It's simple." The bronze masked man raised his skinny fingers hidden under his robe, and clicked on the bell on Ma Chongshan's earlobe.
"I want this bell." For Ma Chongshan, who has already experienced what it's like to be a waster, the temptation to regain his life is too great.
He agreed without much thought, the Ma family has many heirs, but it is just a brother, although he feels a little guilty, he does not feel cold-blooded, he still cherishes himself more than other people's lives.
"How?" He asked. The bronze masked man smiled and waved his hand to the side, and another man wearing a golden fox mask returned to the stone cave, and quickly walked out with the unconscious Ma Chongfeng.
After that, Ma Chongshan's eyes were also blindfolded by the strip of cloth, and he only heard the sound of a large mechanism opening up, and then he felt that he had been taken to a very dark and cold place, and continued to go down.
Ten minutes later, the men stopped, and Ma Chongshan felt that he was lying flat on a cold stone platform that was uneven.
The blindfolded strips of cloth were removed, and the surroundings were very bright, and the people lit many torches here and planted them around the stone platform.
After Ma Chongshan's eyes adjusted to the light, the first thing he saw was a huge disc facing him on the top, with five long chains hanging down from above, and hooks at the ends, glowing with cold light.
There were figures swaying around him, and he could only judge what they were doing with his peripheral vision. The foxes stepped on each other's shoulders, set up a ladder under the disc, and hung a larger object on the five iron hooks.
After waiting for those people to jump down, Ma Chongshan saw clearly that the thing they hung up just now was actually his younger brother Ma Chongfeng!
And it was the same method as the slaughter scene of the livestock, Ma Chongfeng was stripped of his clothes all over his body, his chin was removed, and his limbs and abdomen were pierced into the meat by iron hooks, hooking the bones and hanging on them.
Several lines of blood had already flowed out of the broken wound, snaking down the iron hook and dripping onto Ma Chongshan's face.
He could see that Ma Chongfeng was still alive, his head was still moving, but he didn't know what those people had done to him, and Ma Chongfeng showed no signs of waking up.
Ma Chongshan was terrified by the current scene, and shouted in horror,
"What are you doing here?" No one answered his question, in the eyes of those fox people, Ma Chongshan was not important at all, his existence was just an opportunity to complete the experiment, and they could find a replacement at any time.
Soon, someone came and stripped Ma Chongshan's clothes, and locked him up and fixed him on a stone platform with a rim like a plate.
The scene after the slaughter was completely cruel with blood, and the man in the bronze mask wore gloves and carefully took out the slightly smaller gray silkworm in the box, and then put it into the mouth of Ma Chongfeng, who was hanging above.
Not long after the gray silkworm climbed in, Ma Chongfeng began to struggle, and the blood vessels under the skin of his body began to burst, starting to bulge from his chest and quickly spreading to his whole body.
The dense subcutaneous capillaries all floated out, and the hot blood dripped down like raindrops, falling on Ma Chongshan's body, sliding down from the skin and then being collected and gathered together by the stone disk under him.
Ma Chongshan's whole body was soaked in bright red blood, and the viscous blood almost drowned him. The strong smell of blood on the tip of his nose, the beast-like roar in Ma Chongfeng's throat, the ghostly shadow in the firelight, the suppressed guilt and fear, all of them swept into his mind like a storm, and the world swirled, and he was finally overwhelmed, and his eyelids sank.
During the period of coma, although Ma Chongshan's body couldn't move, he could actually feel, just like the experience of a vegetative person, he could feel that someone had cut a hole in his heart and put a cold thing into it.
His breathing was paused, but the blood was still flowing, and his heart was replaced, and something was taking his place, directing his heartbeat and breathing.
Gradually, he felt the fluctuations of the blood vessels in the peripheral limbs, and he tried to move his fingers, as if breaking some kind of barrier, and all the senses about the outside world returned to him.
He returned to the stone cave he had before, and beside him was the corpse of Ma Chongfeng, who had been eaten to the point of being only half a skin.
The head with pale skin and bloodshot eyes was placed next to his head, clinging to his scalp, as if it had deliberately fulfilled the two brothers.
The Bronze Masked Man planted a female silkworm born from two blood silkworms to Ma Chongshan's heart, and then handed over the other cocooned female blood silkworm and the remaining male silkworm to Ma Chongshan.
The huge cocoon that Zhang Qixun saw right now was the original female blood silkworm, and now more than 30 years later, it has grown so big!
The sheepskin book also said later that a female silkworm can only maintain Ma Chongshan's body for a year.
Zhang Qixun counted the big silkworm cocoons hanging in the wooden lattice cluster with his fingers.
"Two, four, six, eight, ......" to the end, he gasped, thirty-six, minus the cocoon that Ma Chongshan incarnated, there are a total of thirty-six big cocoons in the wooden lattice cluster.
Mother, so many years have passed, Ma Chongshan has killed the entire thirty-six lives of the Ma family! It's crazy, it's crazy!
After Ma Chongshan's body regained his mobility, he burned the little skin bag left by his younger brother to ashes, put it in a small bottle, and returned to Ma's house with antiques.
He didn't tell anyone the secrets in his body, and he tried to avoid too much contact with the people around him, and locked himself in the house all day long.
He was afraid to let people know that he was a monster that wasn't breathing properly and didn't have a heartbeat. His father thought that it was his brother's death that hit him so hard that he was slumped from then on, and after persuasion to no avail, he finally handed over the foundation of the Ma family to the third Ma Chonghai to take care of, and Ma Chongshan completely became a transparent person of the Ma family.
The Fox Masked Man has come to him every year since then, and even assists him in dealing with the selected Ma family and helps him clear his traces.
Since then, the people of the Ma family began to gradually wither, until Ma Chonghai died of illness fifteen years ago, and several men in the family were still young, and everyone in the Ma family remembered Ma Chongshan in a remote corner.
Even if Ma Chongshan hid in his yard, he knew the situation of the entire Ma family well. The ancient well in the backyard garden was built by him under the pretext of modifying feng shui after he took charge of the Ma family, and it was specially used to store the silkworm cocoons wrapped in the skin of the Ma family.
As for the so-called offending Brahmin nobles, this is just a rumor that he released to confuse everyone, and every year because of offending Nepalese nobles, countless poor civilians are killed and even their families are wiped out, and no one cares whether the rumors are true or false.
What the Ma family dug up in the scorpion tomb back then, and whether the things dug up were brought to Nepal by later generations, there is no record in the sheepskin book.
Zhang Qixun looked at the little brother who was leaning on the side of the backpack and closed his eyes, hesitated, but still didn't ask.
Ma Chongshan, who turned into a living dead, didn't need to eat, so the food he ate in front of Zhang Qixun would become a burden on his body, no wonder he had to sneak out at night.
Some of Zhang Qixun's previous speculations were not groundless, the reason why Ma Chongshan was attacked was probably because he secretly swallowed a male silkworm, and the male silkworm Gu swallowed the life-saving female silkworm in his body while eating Ma Chongshan.
In the final analysis, the reason for all this is just the dark selfishness of human nature to blame, and the blue-robed Tibetans of the year were right, Ma Chongshan really wrapped his greedy soul with a pure and hypocritical skin.
However, the Wang family has been waiting for more than 30 years, why did they rush to Nepal to kill them this time?
After a few turns, Zhang Qixun chuckled in his heart, it seemed that his new face had come in handy.
The stage has been set up, and when he goes to Motuo and A-Ning to meet, the protagonist appears, and the big drama on the snowy mountain is completely ignited.
Zhang Qixun and the little brother waited underground for two days, and finally waited for the big silkworm moth incarnated by Ma Chongshan to break out of the cocoon.
First, one end of the cocoon gradually began to moisten, and there were tentacles that were quite thick with human arms poking out, followed by the head with fried gray hair also drilled out, and the black compound eyes at the front end that were larger than watermelons looked tight and seeping tight.
After that, the forefeet, the chest and abdomen, and the wings, and after more than an hour, the silkworm moth finally dragged its wet wings to the edge of the wooden lattice cluster.
After the wings and fluff on the body were dry, the big silkworm moth flapped its wings and flapped its wings, and after several temptations, it staggered and flew up.
When its wings are all open, and with the middle body, the width of this silkworm moth is nearly three meters, which is beyond imagination.
All the features of the ordinary silkworm are magnified countless times on its body, giving people a sense of déjà vu facing Resident Evil.
Zhang Qixun and the little brother held their breath, hid their bodies behind the pillar, and silently watched the huge silkworm moth fly slowly to the larger cocoon.
Zhang Qixun originally wondered why the guy in the huge female silkworm cocoon didn't come out, but saw that the big silkworm moth used the same method to secrete a transparent liquid-like liquid from its mouth, moistened one end of the cocoon little by little, and then retracted its wings, dug a hole with its forefoot and drilled in.
There was a commotion in the giant silkworm cocoon hanging above, and after waiting for another day, the male silkworm moth that had completed the mating came out of the cocoon again, and then spit out the last bit of white silk to block the hole, and flew back to his cocoon tremblingly, and died completely soon after getting in.
Zhang Qixun was about to turn into a mushroom, and the little brother on the side finally started to act. He asked Zhang Qi for a palm-sized white jade box, then climbed up the wooden pillar, approached the big cocoon, and used a knife to make a hole in the place where the male silkworm moth had bitten before, and then went straight into it.
Zhang Qixun is stupid at the bottom, what's the situation? Is this a belly retrieval for eggs? He hurriedly ran over and climbed the pillar, preparing to support the little brother in time if there was a fight in the middle of the day.
After waiting for less than two minutes, the little brother came out of the big silkworm cocoon, holding the jade box in his hand, which seemed to contain something.
I thought of what the little brother said before
"Wait for it to spawn" as well
"It's useful", Zhang Qixun muttered silently in his heart, could it be that the little brother went in just now and put the two eggs laid by the mother's blood silkworm in a box?
What use can the Tianshou silkworm be for the little brother, this thing is so evil, it is impossible for the little brother to take a bunch of people in order to save one person.
As if seeing the doubts on Zhang Qixun's face, after returning to the ground, the little brother took the initiative to explain: "This kind of Tianshou silkworm Gu that has not been contaminated with blood is very rare, as a medicinal material, its most essential effect is suppression. ”
"Suppression?" Zhang Qixun was puzzled at first, then thought of a possibility, and said in surprise,
"This thing is useful to the blind man?" The little brother put away the jade box and nodded,
"It can't be completely cured, but it can be delayed." Today, many of the witch Gu inheritances of the Menba clan have been broken, and perhaps there is really only the only female blood Gu of the Tianshou silkworm left here in this world.
Zhang Qixun once asked the system, the eye disease of the black blind man is not only because of the mysterious inheritance of the family, but also for some acquired reasons, and he has unclean things pressed on his shoulders.
If that thing is not solved, even if the system is materialized, all that can be done is to delay the decay.
Stubborn
