After bandaging, we both focused on the corpses of several strange insects on the floor. I said with lingering fear: "What the hell is this!"
Wen Qingshan shook his head: "I have never seen this kind of thing before, I have to study it carefully!" After saying that, he put on a plastic glove, picked up the mutilated corpses of several strange insects on the ground and threw them into a
In plastic sealed bag.
Wen Qingshan and I did not dare to stay for a long time because we were worried that this evil thing was still dormant in the tomb. After cleaning up, we left the ancient tomb.
Not long after we came out of the tomb, news came that Li Song had died on the way to the hospital. In fact, this was expected, as his internal organs had been bitten seven times by those strange insects.
Even if Hua Tuo were to be reincarnated, it would probably be difficult to save him.
In order to find out the origin of the strange insects that attacked Li Song, Wen Qingshan handed over the corpses of two of the strange insects to the police. The police took photos of the corpses and then sent the photos to well-known biologists at home and abroad.
, everyone was very shocked after seeing the photo. Some people thought it was a newly discovered species, while others thought it was a mutated insect, but no one could tell exactly what it was.
Wen Qingshan took a different approach and decided to look for clues from some classical records. In his opinion, there are only two possibilities for the appearance of this kind of strange insect in the ancient tomb. First, the strange insect was specially raised in the tomb by Shao Yuanjie.
, in order to prevent someone from robbing the tomb, since he raised blood corpses and hairy zombies, it is not surprising that he would raise such weird things to guard the tomb. Secondly, the strange insects were brought by people from the cult, because Sun Zhengmin
He died after his internal organs were eaten by this strange insect. Therefore, the strange insect may be a tool used by people in cults to kill people.
No matter which possibility it is, it seems to mean that this kind of strange insect has already existed, and maybe there will be corresponding records in some ancient classics and books. Of course, it is not certain whether it can be found. After all,
Nowadays, many wonderful classics and volumes have been lost long ago.
Let’s get back to the subject, because my shoulder was injured. Although the injury was not serious, because the forensic doctor detected a very rare neurotoxin in both Li Song and Sun Zhengmin’s bodies during their autopsies, they were worried that strange insects were poisonous.
So I was forced to stay in the hospital for two days while the doctor conducted a comprehensive examination of my body.
Unexpectedly, when the test results came out, people were shocked.
The doctor told me that although no similar toxins were found in my body, when they did toxicology tests, they found that my blood was somewhat special and seemed to have natural resistance to various blood circulation toxins and neurotoxins.
.
At first, I didn't understand what it meant, so the doctor gave me a simple example. If I was bitten by a highly venomous cobra, I might not feel anything at all, but the cobra would be poisoned to death.
It sounds like a kind of superpower that is different from ordinary people, but after hearing this, I felt panic in my heart. What happened? After being bitten by a poisonous snake, I was fine, but the poisonous snake died. Wouldn’t I be a bitch?
A "poisonous person" whose snake is poisonous in return? If this is the case, will others be able to have close contact with me in the future? Will they be poisoned and die because they get too close to me?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. After I was discharged from the hospital, I immediately went to see Wen Qingshan. In my mind, he was a "know-it-all" and maybe he could solve my doubts.
Wen Qingshan was studying the strange insect behind closed doors at home, while Fatty Niu went to Guyuan Pavilion to help take care of the business in the shop. Wen Qingshan was the only one left at home. When he saw me, before I could explain my purpose, he
He immediately led me straight to his study room.
His study room is located on the second floor. As soon as I walked in, I was shocked and speechless. This was not a study room, it was just a small library!
The study room covers an area of seventy or eighty square meters. There are a dozen wooden bookshelves about four to five meters wide that almost reach the roof. Each bookshelf is filled with books.
Seeing this study room, I instantly understood why Wen Qingshan was so knowledgeable and talented.
Wen Qingshan brought me to a desk, pointed to an open thread-bound ancient book on the desk and said: "This book is "Foreign Objects" written by Song Ying during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This work has long been lost. This is
According to records in the Qing Dynasty edition, there is a strange insect that lives deep underground called the corpse mole, which may be the kind of strange insect we see in ancient tombs!"
When I heard this, I immediately picked up the ancient book on the current situation on the table and started reading.
After all, it is an old book that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is very worn. I hold it in my hands carefully, for fear of accidentally scattering it. The words in the book are written with a brush, and they are all traditional Chinese characters.
It’s still vertical layout, which looks very strange.
Under the guidance of Wen Qingshan, I finally found the description of the "corpse-fucking mole cricket": "In the extremes of the underworld, alien insects breed, called corpse-fudging mole crickets. They are covered in armor and can fly with fluttering wings.
It has chelicerae at its head and is good at digging earth and rocks. It likes to eat rotten wood and carrion. It lives longer than turtles and swans. It has nothing to eat and can hibernate for several years without becoming stiff."
After reading it, I couldn't help but admire Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, you are so strong, you actually found the relevant records!"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "I didn't go out for two days in a row, and I found it after looking through nearly a hundred ancient books."
"However, since this corpse-crouching mole has existed in ancient times, why haven't even those biologists heard of it?"
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "The corpse mole lives deep underground. It likes yin and hates yang, so it is normal for it to be rarely found. However, according to the book, this kind of insect mainly feeds on rotten wood and carrion, and
If they are not aggressive, why are the temperaments we see in the ancient tombs so ferocious?"
"That's right! And he was staring at me and biting me!" When I mentioned what happened that day, I still had lingering fears.
Wen Qingshan looked at my shoulder and asked: "By the way, how is your injury now?"
"The injury is not serious, but something seems to be wrong."
"What's the situation?" Wen Qingshan asked.
"The doctor said that when a toxicology test was conducted on my blood, it was found that my blood was resistant to various toxins."
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, even if I am bitten by a poisonous snake, it will not be a serious problem."
"What!?" Wen Qingshan couldn't believe it: "There is such a thing?"
I nodded and said, "Actually, I came here today just to ask you, have you ever heard of a situation like mine?"
Wen Qingshan pondered for a while and said: "Come to think of it, I have actually heard of it. Before liberation, it was said that there was a strange man in Shandong. He had the habit of eating raw snakes, scorpions and other poisonous substances since he was a child. Later, his body gradually Snake venom creates immunity and is called the Poison King. Your situation should be similar to this Poison King. Could it be that you also ate raw snakes and scorpions when you were a child?"
I immediately shook my head and said, "No! I have no interest in eating snakes. Not to mention raw food, even if it is cooked, I have no appetite."
"That's right. The last time we discovered Dashun's treasure, you were bitten by that snake. You almost lost your life at that time. How could it be poisonous to snakes..." Before Wen Qingshan finished speaking, suddenly He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly slapped his head: "I understand, you must have taken Qiu Chi's inner elixir, so you have developed immunity to snake venom!"
"Ah..." I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a moment, but when I thought about it more carefully, it was indeed possible! Because I had never found out that I had any immunity to toxins before. Not only that, I I even feel that I have a particularly sensitive constitution. Let alone venomous snakes, even if I am just stung by a bee, it will take a whole day for the swelling to subside. But now I suddenly discovered that my blood can actually resist all kinds of toxins, except for the poisonous snakes. Apart from Dan, I really can't think of any other reason.
In fact, after taking the Qiu Chi Nei Dan, I felt that my body was a little different from before. I used to be bitten by mosquitoes a lot. In our dormitory, it was usually the three of them who had nothing to do, and I was the only one bitten by mosquitoes. My head was covered with bites, but now, even if I sit shirtless in front of the computer and play games, I don’t seem to be bitten by mosquitoes anymore. In addition, I accidentally scratched myself while playing basketball a few days ago. I injured my leg and lost a large piece of skin on my knee. If this situation had happened before, it would have taken at least ten and a half months to basically recover. But this time, it only took three to five days and it was completely healed, without even leaving any scars. .
Could it be that it was the Qiu Chi inner elixir that not only gave me an extraordinary ability to heal wounds, but also made me invulnerable to all poisons?
When I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat wildly. I don't know whether it was because of excitement or fear. I don't know whether it was a curse or a blessing to have such an almost evil "superpower".
Seeing me looking uneasy, Wen Qingshan asked with a smile: "Such a wonderful thing has happened to you, why don't you seem excited at all?"
"Holy crap! How can this be a good thing!" I sighed: "Oh... Why do I feel like I'm almost turning into a monster!"
"Haha!" Wen Qingshan raised his head and laughed: "What you said is too exaggerated! Don't worry, even if you want to become a monster, it's not that easy!"
"Boss Wen, do you think I will become a poisonous person and be unable to marry and have children in the future?" I said what I was most worried about.
Wen Qingshan, who was still smiling just now, became serious immediately. He glanced at me and said solemnly: "It's very possible! I'm afraid, you will have to die alone in the future."
"Ah..." I was so shocked that I opened my mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time. It felt like I was drenched from head to toe by a basin of cold water. My mood at that moment was probably similar to being told by the doctor that I had cancer. Not much.
