Chapter 92: Shi Ding
Seeing this scene, I am afraid of Xiang Yiyi, among several medicine people, only her heart is alive, Qingyan Zhenren said that I ruined his plan, maybe it has something to do with Xiang Yiyi's difference, maybe she is the 'finished product' that Qingyan Zhenren wants.
And these exposed insects are just defective products, so Qingyan Zhenren will personally chase to the hotel to find Xiang Yiyi, so does this mean that it is inevitable that the blue butterfly that flew out of Qingyan Zhenren's body will go to find Xiang Yiyi's 'parasitic'?
Because I was seriously injured, I could only lie on the ground and watch Gu Yu and Bai Junyang deal with the medicine man, and every insect died when it landed, which saved a lot of trouble.
The Pure Land became a 'quiet land', and because there were too many corpses to bury them one by one, Bai Junyang piled the corpses together, poured the gasoline he found, and burned them intensively.
The greenhouses that were originally hidden by the formation were all exposed, and we decided to temporarily live in the staff dormitory of the Pure Land, which is the dormitory of Qingyan Zhenren and the private rooms of the foremen.
Bai Junyang helped Xiang Yiyi cremate the remains of her parents alone and buried them on the slope of the east of the plain.
I was carried into the bedroom of Qingyan Zhenren by Gu Yu, and he made a simple fixation for me with a wooden plank, and with my recovery strength, it would not take two days for the broken bones to grow.
My mother, the only one of us who wasn't hurt, came up with the idea of a greenhouse, and she proposed to grow some vegetables, thinking it was a waste of a 'homestead' that she had picked up for nothing.
Xiang Yiyi and my parents need to eat and sleep, and it is indeed not a long-term solution to eat bread, biscuits, ham and sausages all the time, but where to get the vegetables is a problem.
Mom said that this matter will be handed over to her and Dad, let us wait for ready-made, I think it is better to find something for them to do than to be idle, and the big deal is that after I am healed, I will first clear the zombies in the nearby villages and towns, and the two of them will do whatever they like.
At night, I was bored lying on the bed, taking out the string of bells to fiddle, I remember that there were many strange devices in the box where the bells were placed, but when Qingyan Zhenren and I PK, he died too quickly, and he didn't care much about it at the time, and now when he sees his box of magic weapons, he can't stop wondering, he didn't bring any of those things, is it that he is too light on the enemy, underestimate me?
I thought there might be something strange about this, but my body couldn't move, so I had to tilt my neck and shout Gu Yu, in order to take care of me conveniently, he chose a single room closest to this big house, and he could hear me as long as I shouted.
When Gu Yu heard me call him, he immediately walked in and asked me what was wrong, I asked him to help me rummage through the box in the corner, Gu Yu didn't ask why, he walked over and opened the lid of the box, and took out the contents one by one and put them on the ground.
I found that among these things, there is a bundle of small flags, a total of five colors, I once saw in a novel what a formation is called the five-element flag, and thought it was made up by the author, but now I see this bundle of five-colored flags with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and I am immediately more puzzled.
"If Qingyan Zhenren can set up the Five Elements Banner Array, then why bring puppeteers with limited damage and lethality......" I muttered the doubts in my heart, always feeling that the strength shown by Qingyan Zhenren did not match the power of his hardware.
"What are you looking for?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the objects all over the ground.
"I don't know, I just think that Qingyan Zhenren died too easily, shouldn't it, why?"
"If you do too much, you will kill yourself, he is full of evil spirits, and his violent death is light."
"Hey, I used to be the least brainy, but now I'm nervous when I encounter something abnormal, and my heart is not steady, you look for it again, look at the wall, and this bed, whether there is anything hidden in it."
Gu Yu obviously thought it was a bit unnecessary for me to do this, but he did as I was told, and as we knocked on the stone bed beneath me, we both heard hollow echoes.
Of course, this is not unusual, it is very difficult to polish the whole boulder to make a bed, especially in this special period, it is easier to build a bed with a stone slab, so it is not surprising that the inside of the bed is hollow.
But Gu Yu knocked in a few positions, and the echoes in other parts were solid, he returned to the hollow position, slashed a few times with a dagger, and pried open a stone slab that was only the size of half a magazine.
He took out a book from the dark compartment of the stone slab, each page was made of leather, and the font on the cover was very simple, I couldn't read a single stroke, and thought it was a Taoist symbol.
Gu Yu turned the first page, there were not only words but also illustrations, and I immediately recognized that the illustration was a three-legged small stone tripod on the ground, but unfortunately I didn't recognize any of the four lines of small characters next to it.
Gu Yu looked very seriously, I was a little discouraged and disappointed because I couldn't understand the words on it, and reached out and poked Gu Yu's arm, "Is it so serious to look at a picture?" Flip it back! ”
Gu Yu didn't do it this time, he frowned and looked up at me and said, "I know this word." ”
"Huh?" Hearing him say this, I was so excited that I almost rolled off the bed, even if Gu Yu held me down in time, there was a sharp pain in my back because of the excessive movement.
I hissed and inhaled, and hurriedly lay down and didn't dare to move again, but my eyes kept staring at Gu Yu's face, hoping that he would explain it to me quickly.
"This is the Lu script of the Warring States Period, but ......"
"But what?"
"The order of the strokes is very messy, and there is no coherence between the strokes, as if people who don't understand this kind of writing imitate it."
"You mean someone copied it from another book?"
"It's possible."
Flipping back, sure enough, the font has changed, the font is getting simpler and simpler, and the dynasty has crossed from the Warring States period to the Ming and Qing dynasties that I can understand some.
The last page is basically written in modern text, and the picture is the string of bells that I am familiar with, and under the picture is the six-line score, which should be the melody I heard that night.
Therefore, Qingyan Zhenren only learned these few pages of words he knew, the soul bell, the gossip array, the corpse control technique, and ...... Medicine Man! I quickly flipped through the last few pages and counted the contents.
"This book is definitely not a true person, he has only been learning the above evil arts for a short time, you see that it is only a corpse technique, there are eight sub-categories below, his focus is on this one, it may have something to do with the zombie outbreak, if he learns all these eight sub-categories, it is not impossible to control the zombies."
"But there is no recipe for medicinal herbs on it, why does he grow so many herbs?"
"He's a Taoist priest should be real, there is no writing in this book about how to control zombies, he is likely to use his own pharmaceutical knowledge, combined with the methods in the book to conduct research."
It is undeniable that Qingyan Zhenren did have two hits, but all of this was based on his enslavement of survivors and experimentation with living people, and I still remember how miserable the female corpse that was carried out of the medicine room died.
The spells recorded in this book are extremely evil, and thanks to Qingyan Zhenren, who has only learned a little bit of skin, but there is no information about the blue butterfly in the book, so we still don't know what effect it has on Xiang Yiyi.
Qingyan Zhenren is good at studying evil arts, the blue butterfly in his body is likely to be a secret technique that is not recorded in this book, Gu Yu told me not to worry, Qingyan Zhenren dares to raise butterflies in his body, that at least means that it will not have any impact on people in a short period of time, the time it takes to build the Pure Land is definitely not short, he has not had an accident for so long, maybe his sudden death requires a specific premise.
As long as we don't touch that premise, the butterfly will lie dormant in Xiang Yiyi's body, and it may never come out again for the rest of our lives.
I think Gu Yu is right, Qingyan Zhenren has so many survivors as experiments, if butterflies are harmful to the human body, he can use survivors to experiment, why bother to raise them in his own body?
This butterfly may have great benefits for people, but if used incorrectly, it can have serious consequences.
After talking about Xiang Yiyi, Gu Yu turned the book to the first page and translated the text on it for me, which roughly said that Shi Ding was originally nothing special, but since its owner used it to cook a picked up animal by chance, from now on, as long as he uses this Ding to cook something to eat, the human body can be completely eliminated.
The language of the ancients was very concise, and Gu Yu turned it out to probably mean this, and I was immediately interested, and asked Gu Yu to cook instant noodles for me with a stone tripod.
Anyway, if you can't eat well, you can't die, in case what is written in the book is true, then I don't have to lie on the bed for two days, and Gu Yu's injuries can be recovered immediately.
Gu Yu obediently cooked a bag of instant noodles with Shi Ding, but he didn't give it to me, he ate it first, although on the surface he did it was very unkind, but I knew in my heart that he was afraid that something would happen to me, and he was testing poison for me.
Gu Yu ate a few bites of instant noodles, and before he could feel it, I saw that the wound on his neck had healed quickly.
"Oh my God, an artifact!" I stretched out my hand, touched his smooth neck, and said urgently, "Give me two bites, I'm tired from lying on my stomach." ”
Gu Yu picked up one and wanted to feed me, I said in my heart You feed the cat, grabbed the chopsticks and stuffed a dozen or so together into his mouth, and then hurriedly observed the changes in his body with internal vision.
The injured soft tissues are rapidly recovering, the broken bones are growing back, the bruising on the surface of the skin is quickly absorbed, and the pain disappears.
I rolled over from the bed and jumped to the floor, not sore at all, this thing was a treasure, and in the spirit of having good things to share with my family, I called everyone else over.
Anyone who was injured was divided into instant noodles, and my father wanted to pick up the stone tripod after eating to take a closer look, but unfortunately there was a fire burning under the tripod, and the whole tripod was very hot, so he had to give up.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was there, I didn't hide the book and asked Gu Yu to show them the book, but no one except Gu Yu could understand the ancient text, and they were not interested in the evil arts recorded in the book, so they unanimously agreed that Gu Yu should dispose of the book.
Gu Yu flipped the book from beginning to end, back and forth several times, he said that only this mouth ding in the book is beneficial to people, and the rest of the records are all evil arts, since it is an evil book, it is safer to burn it.
Naturally, we had no opinion, so he lit the book with the help of the fire, but the moment the skin was burned by the fire, a strange smell suddenly gushed out, and immediately filled the whole room, I was afraid of poison and wanted to cover my mouth and nose, but it was still late, and I took two puffs of strange cigarettes.
The people present are the same as me, at least take a sip, this is inevitable, after all, we are not martial arts masters, and we know how to close qigong.
As a result, we were fine, except for Xiang Yiyi, who suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed violently, I thought she had epilepsy, and asked Bai Junyang to plug her mouth and not let her bite her tongue.
But Bai Junyang saw that it was not like that, he pushed away me who was about to go up to help, with his feelings for Xiang Yiyi, it was impossible to stand by coldly, he didn't go over himself, and he didn't let us go over to help, there must be his reasons.
Xiang Yiyi's eyes rolled white, obviously unconscious, her limbs trembled, and her stomach bulged, as if there was a living creature writhing in it.
After about a minute, from her wide open mouth, a caterpillar covered in gastric juice crawled out, about three inches long and the thickness of a little finger.
I thought I had seen a lot of disgusting images, but when I saw this scene, I still couldn't stop my throat from itching, my stomach churned, and I didn't vomit it after a few swallowing movements.
The caterpillar squirmed and crawled to the ground, and as soon as the black and blue fur touched the ground, a wisp of smoke came out, as if it had been thrown into a fire.
With the production of smoke, the caterpillar's body gradually melted, and finally turned into a small pool of black and blue liquid, and Xiang Yiyi's body stopped convulsing.
