Chapter 37: Let's Talk About Poison

"Forget it, don't bother with it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Fantasy is useless, let's talk about something else. Why did you come to Siping? At the station, where are you going?" After all, Huang Bu has more trouble than Lao Wang, and when facing difficulties, there is no certain way to face and solve them.

"I'm here to find you and Hu Daxian. Something happened. Lao Wang briefly told Huang Bu about the prince's tooth of the night found by Xiong Shanjun, the appearance and destruction of Hai Dongqing, and the separate action with General Yin to find Hu and Huang.

"Oh, let's go to the old bear. "Huang can't be pretentious, so he decided directly.

What made Lao Wang speechless was that he actually asked people to drive a big Cherokee jeep over, saying that Siping was more than 2,000 miles away from Heihe, and it was more convenient to take a car to Xiaoxinganling in this way.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"Study poison. Huang couldn't answer simply.

"Is it drug production or drug trafficking?" asked Lao Wang with interest.

"you. is to study some poisons of interest. It's all advanced knowledge that you haven't heard of, are you interested in learning and learning?" Huang Bu was not polite, and laughed with a counterattack.

"Not interested. Lao Wang knew that he should not fall behind at this time, so he simply did not pick up the stubble. You must know that the illusion of Huang Bu, the medical skill of Hu Bu Return, and the divination of where to return are all unique in the sea. In fact, if you talk about studying poison, it is really possible to study some results, and it is estimated that people will not return.

"Cut. What do you mean, what do you mean by drinking a duck to quench your thirst? What is a duck?" Huang ignored him and directly threw out the question.

"The plover is a legendary bird of prey, larger than the eagle, with a loud and terrible song. Its feathers are highly poisonous, and when you soak them in wine, the wine becomes a wine, which is so poisonous that it is almost impossible to recover. But considering the actual situation, it is estimated that this is just a legend, and over time it has become a general term for poisonous wine. This idiom is generally used as a metaphor for using the wrong way to solve immediate difficulties regardless of the serious consequences. "Lao Wang deserves to be a teacher, this thing is really difficult for him.

"Let me tell you, the plover is not a legendary bird of prey, it actually exists, that is, the snake eagle, the small bird of prey is not much bigger than the chicken, and it is widely distributed in the southern mountains, such as Wudang Mountain. Because of its snake eating, it is mistaken for highly venomous, and the Taoist priest's practice of Yu Bu has been verified to be an imitation of his actions when catching snakes. Last year, I went to Wudang Mountain, and it was a coincidence that I saw it one day. "Let the knowledgeable old Wang suffer a small loss, which is exactly Huang Bu's original intention.

"Oh, that's not bad. I'll test you, what is Hedinghong?" Lao Wang was idle and bored, and continued to ask.

"Crane top red is actually red letter stone. It is a processed product of natural arsenic-containing minerals such as arsenic bloom, arsenite sand or realgar. Also known as the letter stone. All arsenic stone must be put into a sand pot, sealed tightly with mud, calcined in the furnace fire, taken out and cooled, or boiled with mung beans to reduce its poison. For grinding fine powder. The refined products of arsenic sublimation are white powder, i.e. arsenic, which is more toxic. Red letter stone is a natural mineral of arsenic trioxide, which is famous for arsenic after processing. In ancient times, officials hid it in the crown and used it to commit suicide when necessary, which was the source of the name of Heding Red. After arsenic enters the human body, it will combine with the sulfur group of the protein, denatured and inactive the protein, which can block the pathway of intracellular oxidation for energy, and eventually cause death. The more Huang Bu talked, the more excited he became, and he couldn't hold back the momentum.

"Awesome, admire, admire. I really don't understand these things. Recently, I heard that snake venom is more expensive than gold, so tell me about snake venom. Lao Wang gradually put away his ridiculous tone and formally asked for advice.

"The children can be taught. Snake venom can be divided into circulatory toxins, neurotoxins, mixed toxins, cytotoxins, etc. Heck, you can also go to Baidu. Huang didn't show impatience, but he explained very patiently.

For example, vipers, belly snakes, bamboo leaf greens, five-step snakes, etc., poison the blood circulation of prey. It causes rapid swelling, hardness, bleeding, severe pain, purple-black skin, often skin necrosis, and swollen lymph nodes. Increased body temperature, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, inability to stand. Nosebleeds, blood in the urine, convulsions. Eventually died of heart failure or shock.

Toxins secreted by snakes such as Zhang Wuji's golden and silver krait in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" belong to neurotoxins. After the person is bitten, the local symptoms are not obvious, the bleeding is less, and the redness, swelling and fever are mild. However, after the injury, there were sharp systemic symptoms, the patient was agitated, moaned in pain, trembled muscles of the whole body, foamed at the foam, had difficulty swallowing, had difficulty breathing, and finally lay on the ground, the whole body had convulsions, and the respiratory muscles were paralyzed and died.

Whereas, the venom of cobras and king cobras is a mixed toxin. The local wound is red, swollen, warm, painful, and may be necrosis. After the toxin is absorbed, the systemic symptoms are severe and complex, ranging from neurological symptoms to damage caused by the blood-circulating toxin, and finally, all death from asphyxia or cardiodynamic failure.

The more terrifying is the sea snake, whose venom is a cytotoxin. Sea snake venom damages the muscles rather than the nervous system. Sea snake bites people without pain, and its poisonous attack has an incubation period, and there are no obvious symptoms of poisoning in the short term, but this is very dangerous and easy to paralyze people. In fact, the venom of the sea snake is absorbed by the human body very quickly, and the first thing to feel after poisoning is muscle weakness, soreness, drooping eyelids, and jaw rigidity, which is a bit like the symptoms of tetanus, and the heart and kidneys will also be severely damaged. A person who is bitten can die within a few hours to a few days.

"How about it, increase your knowledge?" asked Huang Bu proudly.

If he knew that the snake venom he was talking about was wreaking havoc on others, I don't know how he would feel.

Everyone was panicked and looked at Xing Zheng.
