Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret of the Skull
Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret of the Skull
Xiao Ruoshui screamed, everyone was attracted to him, Xiao Ruoshui took out a small bag unhurriedly and hung it on the door frame, and then he walked into the house, the cowhide bag didn't move, as if Xiao Ruoshui had never appeared. Everyone was even more amazed, and began to disbelieve their eyes, and the more they looked, the more confused they became, what the hell was going on?
The High Priest and the Great Elder were stunned by this magical scene, and they hurriedly asked Xiao Ruoshui, "What's going on with this?"
Xiao Ruoshui unhurriedly opened the cowhide bag and poured out two heads, he put on gloves, held the head in his hand, and observed carefully, he completely ignored that this was a dead man's head, which made many people present look creepy, and many people closed their eyes and did not dare to look at this scene. Suddenly, Xiao Ruoshui pulled out something from his skull, and he held this thing like a worm and a mushroom and said, "It's this thing that's doing tricks." The High Priest and the Great Elder hurriedly stepped forward and looked carefully at the things in Xiao Ruoshui's hand, it looked like a worm, but the upper part was like a mushroom, as if it was a mixture of ordinary worm-like mushrooms, and the part of the worm was still wriggling with white brains, which made people want to vomit. The Great Elder just wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Xiao Ruoshui, he said, "The Great Elder is very evil, don't touch it." The Great Elder was frightened and withdrew his hand and didn't dare to touch it.
"This thing can burrow into the human body and grow, if it weren't for my gloves to protect me, I might have been eroded by now, so don't do it. Wrap it in a cloth and put it in a brazier and burn it, remembering that everything you have come into contact with it has been burned. Xiao Ruoshui instructed loudly.
"You take these two heads outside and burn them first, and I'll go back and explain it to you. The things in Xiao Ruoshui's hands seemed to be moving, which made people shudder. Everyone picked up the cowhide bag, loaded the heads, and when they walked outside the yard, they passed by the place where Xiao Ruoshui put the bag, and the two heads bit the cowhide bag by themselves, making a piercing biting sound. They put their heads on the braziers, kindled a fire, and poured oil on them. It was on fire. After a while, people were afraid to approach. Xiao Ruoshui picked up a small bottle, poured it full of wine, put the thing in his hand into the bottle, and closed the cap. He didn't know if it was useful. He knew that wine could anesthetize a lot of things. It can kill a lot of things, he walked over to the packet with the bottle and shook it. The wine bottle didn't move, he listened to the movement inside, but there was no sound at all, he smiled proudly, it seems that this thing is safe for the time being.
He put the bottle in the pouch, kicked it into his arms, and walked to the place where the skull was burned, and he looked closely, and the beating flames seemed to be the most powerful weapon to kill evil. After a while, the flame was extinguished, Xiao Ruoshui walked to the skull, the skull had turned white, he picked up a hammer and knocked it gently, and suddenly he found that there was a steel needle inserted in the skull between the eye socket and the skull, he quickly knocked on the other head, as expected, there was also a steel needle in the skull, the difference was that the two skulls had different positions, one was directly from the temple into the brain, and the other was directly from the eye socket into the brain.
Xiao Ruoshui gently pulled out the steel needle and looked at it, the steel needle was very thick and short, he observed carefully, he suddenly found that there was a gap in the middle of the two steel needles, he pulled the end of the steel needle and turned it, the steel needle was actually divided into two parts, and the steel needle was actually hollow and turned together. He nodded, put the needle in his small bag, and went back to the house.
The High Priest and the Elder were already a little impatient, they were so dazed by this strange change that their minds were completely stagnant, and they wanted to make sense of it all urgently. As soon as he saw Xiao Ruoshui finish washing his gloves and walking into the room after washing his hands, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Shaoxia, what's going on?"
Xiao Ruoshui shook the water in his hand and said with a smile: " What you just saw is actually a creature called the wedding mushroom, it is generally parasitic on the host, absorbing the host's nutrients, and at a certain time, when it encounters a suitable place and adapts to its own environment, it begins to germinate and wait for the arrival of the next host, this thing is very common in tropical humid places, and it is generally parasitic on ants, but it was brought to Mobei by people with ulterior motives to cultivate, and it can actually parasitize on people, and it can parasitize on dead corpses, which is also something I didn't expect. ”
"Why is this thing only interested in you?" asked the High Priest curiously.
Xiao Ruoshui smiled, he took out a small bag, took out a small grass like a sesame seed, and said to the three people: " It's not that I'm attracted, it's this thing, it's called Huanyang grass, produced in the Western Regions, it is said that it can make people eat for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, extremely excited, no pain, but it is extremely damaging to people's bodies, wherever there are traces of Huanyang grass, the wedding mushroom will be chased endlessly like a fly and bloodthirsty, because the blood of the person who eats the yang grass has the power to prevent the sporulation of the wedding mushroom, so what attracts the wedding mushroom. ”
"Xiao Shaoxia, I still don't understand, why do you want this mushroom to prevent sporulation?" the Great Elder asked.
"Actually, it's also very easy to understand, if a wedding mushroom will definitely divide the spores after a certain period of time, it is necessary to pass on to the next generation, but it also means their own death, most of the plants are like this, just like bamboo flowers, this mushroom's pursuit of longevity is the same as people's pursuit of immortality, but this method is a bit evil. Xiao Ruoshui said to the three people.
"By the way, I just saw that you put the wedding mushroom in the wine, it is honest, you might as well put the Yang Returning Herb in another bottle of wine, it will be much safer. The High Priest proposed.
"That's a good idea, I'll put it in the wine. He picked up a small wine bag, and the wine of the grassland was packed in a leather bag, not afraid of collision or fall. He poured the wedding mushrooms and the grass into the two wine bags respectively, plugged the stopper, and between the stopper and the mouth of the bag is a screwed thread, even if it collides, it will not spill a drop, and it can also prevent the air from entering and deteriorating, which is really a rare good thing on the grassland.
"Hey, it seems that this wedding mushroom is a particularly evil thing, and it is really strange to kill other people's lives for the sake of their own lives. The High Priest sighed.
"Xiao Shaoxia, I don't think the sacrificial activities will be held, we will also accept our fate, let this curse continue. The Great Elder said helplessly. He was dazed by the series of wonderful changes today, and he also felt that this was God's arrangement, and they really couldn't do anything about it.
"It must be held, but remember that I will write you a note, and you will do as I say, and I will see what this curse is all about. Xiao Ruoshui said firmly, his face did not have a trace of retreat, and he was full of desire to challenge this magical world.
"Xiao Shaoxia has made you so tired, how can you make us grateful to you. The Great Elder said sincerely to Xiao Ruoshui.
"Don't be grateful, I just like to be someone who challenges myself. I volunteered, so you can get ready. Xiao Ruoshui comforted the Great Elder. The Great Elder looked at Xiao Ruoshui and sighed, glanced at the High Priest, and went down to prepare without speaking.
"Are you really going to be a sacrifice?" Gu Lisha looked at the backs of the two old men leaving and asked Xiao Ruoshui, her voice was soft and sweet, which made people feel a burst of heartbeat.
"There are some things you have to do, no matter how difficult it is, you can actually go away and wait for me to come back. Xiao Ruoshui said to Gu Lisha.
"No, the prophecy seems to say that the two of them are bathing in the sun, how can I not go?" Gu Lisha smiled at Xiao Ruoshui, and Xiao Ruoshui also smiled, smiling brightly. Yes, there are some things that must be done, whether they can succeed or not, but if they don't try, they can't succeed, Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha are such people, what they like most is to challenge, challenge themselves, and challenge any unknown world.
