Chapter 355: Riverbed Fishbones
The sound of the beard startled me.
At noon today, when he fell off the horse, he coughed up blood from internal injuries and did not snort, which shows that he is an iron-clad man.
What kind of injury could make him like this?
I opened the tent curtains, only to see a beard with only big pants and a crazy beard, scratching his body with both hands.
There were so many patches of skin on his body that they were so festering that they could barely be seen in their original form.
Especially at the base of the thighs, armpits, and neck, these places are densely packed with white debris, and there are faint lines of fish scales.
Toilet paper was littered on the floor, and the blood still had a faint fishy smell.
I suddenly sounded, there were trash cans on the floor of Sun Mingjin's room, and the blood also carried this fishy smell.
Moreover, Sun Mingjin also bought medicine to treat skin diseases, presumably to treat this disease!
Damn, I finally got it!
The beard is the same disease as Sun Mingjin!
I reached out and pressed my bearded arm, "Bear with me, don't move!"
The beard was particularly painful, and he could only scratch his body with one hand.
After taking the pulse for a while, I said solemnly, "On the surface of your skin, the energy is alienated, and scratching has no effect, it will only make the skin ulcerate and aggravate the condition!"
"But I can't help it!"
Tears flowed from his beard, and he scratched out a few deep blood marks in pain.
I pulled out a charm, quickly flipped it twice, lit it, and stuffed it into the bearded man's mouth.
His body froze when he landed, and all the rest of his body froze except for his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
The beard opened his mouth, and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhuge is great, it's not itchy!"
I sighed, "I sealed your soul in your brain, so I can't feel if my body is itching."
"You're vegetative now, and I'll have to find your friends to take care of you."
Soon, I called Knifeface and the others and explained to them what had happened.
Knife Face and the others, very righteous, bowed to me in unison, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuge for helping our boss!"
"You're welcome."
After a short time together, the bearded man was unguarded against me, sighed, and finally said what was in his heart.
"Mr. Zhuge , I'll tell you the truth! I...... I may have fallen under the curse of the merfolk."
"Merfolk curse!?"
I've never heard the name mermaid.
Next, the group chatted and explained their itinerary to Murphy and me.
Bearded and others heard that in the upper reaches of the Ulan Le League, the water source of Lake Zar, there is a mermaid settlement.
If you eat mermaid meat, you can live forever, so from the time of Qin Shi Huang, you began to catch mermaids.
These merfolk were killed to the point of extinction, and it is said that the last race is hidden in the Ulanle League.
The group of people came here for the sake of immortality.
I glanced at the crowd and asked, "Why do you want to live forever?"
"Mr. Zhuge is really interesting."
Knife Face said without thinking, "But all human beings want to live, like the turtle king, and live for thousands of years."
"If the brothers never die, they will live happily as immortals."
I shook my head, "You're wrong. Life and death do not exist in the time of chaos, and there is life before there is death."
"The price to be paid for the so-called immortality is not something you can imagine."
"There are tens of millions of people who have lived all their lives to understand the rules of heaven and earth, but they have died one after another on the road."
"For thousands of years, the number of cultivators who can live forever is only ten fingers on my record."
"All the tempting interests have been secretly marked with chips. The path of immortality is not something you can take, let alone something you should take."
