Volume 1 Chapter 173: The Search for the Silk Book
Cha Sisi took me to the man's house, this man was a middle-aged man with very thick hair, and Cha Sisi told me that he was the second best Gu magician in the village after Zhuo Sang.
This man's name is Meng Luo, and he was a Gu master who followed Zhuo Sang in his early years, and later became independent when he got older. However, he couldn't speak Chinese, so I had to ask Cha Sisi to translate for me so I could understand what he was saying.
I didn't want Cha Sisi to intervene because I suspected that there was an invisible force around me that was preventing me from learning about the eight-winged ant, so I was afraid that when I was communicating with Monro, she would be able to translate and learn about the eight-winged ant.
So after thinking about it for a while, I said, "Can you ask Ah Mao to translate, I don't want you to be involved in this matter." ”
"Why? I can translate too, but does that have anything to do with who translates for you? ”
Cha Sisi was a little puzzled, and her face was displeased, it was obvious that my behavior made her very dissatisfied.
I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know how to explain it to her, but I still insisted on saying to her after weighing it: "You let Ah Mao translate for me, this matter is more complicated, and I will explain it to you later." ”
Cha Sisi wanted to say something more, but I insisted on asking her to find Ah Mao, otherwise I wouldn't ask Monroe.
Tea Sisi gave up, so I had no choice but to help me find Ah Mao, Ah Mao obviously resisted a little after seeing that it was me, but helplessly it was Cha Sisi's request, Ah Mao reluctantly sat down beside me.
After Cha Sisi left, there were only three people left, Ah Mao and Monro.
In fact, this behavior is a bit selfish, if there is really an accident, then the risk now is all on Ah Mao.
He is not related to me, so I am willing to let him take the risk, and I don't want to let Cha Sisi fall into the realm of no return.
I asked Ah Mao to ask Monro in the evening what kind of thing this eight-winged ant was.
After thinking about it, Ah Mao translated it to Monro, and Monro quickly chattered a bunch of words in Hmong, and Ah Mao kept raising his eyebrows, obviously what Monro said surprised him a little.
After Monroe finished speaking, Ah Mao did not speak for a long time, until I asked him impatiently what Monro had said, and Ah Mao slowly spoke.
He said that this is a kind of Gu worm that only appears in ancient books, it represents a bad omen, it is based on the corpse of a dead person as a carrier, and it must be the kind of corpse that does not rot even years ago. This insect is very rare, even in ancient books there are few records of it, in ancient times it was recorded because it can be used as medicine, if there is a serious corpse poison, you can take this eight-winged ant to detoxify. ”
After Ah Mao finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva, and I was a little puzzled, if it was just these contents, why did it surprise him so much?
"Gone?"
I looked at Ah Mao suspiciously, and Ah Mao continued at this time: "Also, but there is some horror in the back, are you sure you want to listen?" ”
I frowned, then nodded, and Ah Mao thought for a moment, and continued: "Meng Luo said that after eating this eight-winged ant, there will be abnormal changes in the body, and the whole person will become a cicada chrysalis. At this time, it must be kept in a very low warm environment, otherwise the person will die......"
I was stunned, I didn't expect the eight-winged ant to have such an effect, and I suddenly had a very bold conjecture.
The reason why the eldest sister is looking for this eight-winged ant is that she has been poisoned by the corpse, and she must take the eight-winged ant to survive?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is, because Kunlun Mountain happens to meet the conditions for becoming a cicada chrysalis after taking the eight-winged ant. The temperature is extremely low, and no one will be disturbed if it becomes like this in the Kunlun Mountains, could the second brother have learned about this, so he hurriedly entered the Kunlun Mountains to confirm the condition of the eldest sister?
But if that's all there is to it, why do they all have to hide it from me, and tell me that it doesn't affect anything?
Saying goodbye to Monro and Ah Mao, I was alone and ready to return to Cha Sisi's home.
Now I know what the eight-winged ant does, but I still can't figure out what the connection is, maybe my guess is wrong, the eldest sister is not poisoned, but she just wants to get this eight-winged ant to others.
But after that, why did they enter the Kunlun Mountains again and deliberately avoid me?
It stands to reason that Master Cao should be on my side, but in the end, he actually followed the eldest sister into Kunlun Mountain, so there is a big suspicion here.
Although I can't figure it out, I finally have a clue at this moment, and now what I have to do is to continue to investigate these clues, maybe I will know what the second brother and eldest sister are looking for.
For the next few days, Cha Sisi and I accompanied Cha Youping in the village, and occasionally I would hang out with Cha Sisi in her room.
After a few days like this, the New Year was almost over, and Cha Sisi and I bought tickets back to Xianyang, and then prepared to return.
On the day we were about to go back, Cha Youping told me to take care of Cha Sisi and not let her be wronged.
"Uncle Cha, don't worry, I can't grieve Sisi myself, Sisi follow me, you can rest assured....... I don't advise you to go to the city with us, you can take care of your body here. ”
I smiled and said to Cha Youping, I have discussed with Cha Sisi, and I will send someone to repair their house after I go back this time.
After that, Cha Sisi and I left Wulong Mountain, and we got on a plane back to Xianyang.
As soon as I got out of the airport, Uncle Long drove a car to pick me up, and after I learned the useful information of the eight-winged ant at this time, I began to investigate what was in Kunlun Mountain.
I think the key may be the silk book that Professor Chen has been working on since his lifetime, so I have to find a way to get that silk book now, and maybe I can find the clues I want to find on it.
I came to the research institute, because Professor Chen died, Master Cao disappeared, and our original department has now sent a new professor to take over, and I have become a student under him.
I asked Uncle Long to find a relationship and find a way to help me get the silk book, and I didn't waste time trying to find Professor Chen's silk book in the department.
But I searched for a long time and didn't find it, and Uncle Long didn't have any clues, just when I was confused, I suddenly thought that Baisha also went to Kunlun Mountain, he knew the existence of the silk book, could it be that he took the silk book first?
