Gong Yu and Liu Yunlong immediately looked in the direction of Ye Ming's finger.
What caught my eye was a patch of grass growing next to a puddle.
The grass is full of various weeds.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Huge doubts arose in my mind.
Gong Yu said in surprise: "Where is the source of the disease? I didn't see anything?"
Liu Yunlong said jokingly: "Don't tell us that the source of the disease is these weeds, right?"
"Yes! The source of the disease is a piece of grass! But it is not a weed!"
While talking, Ye Ming had already walked to the grass.
He squatted down in front of a grass.
This grass does look a little special compared to other weeds around it.
It is a relatively rare lantern plant.
It is covered with lantern-like fruits.
It's just not fully mature yet.
The thin skin covering the outside of the fruit is still green. It is not as eye-catching as the bright red color it turns into when ripe.
Especially on small islands, this kind of wild lantern is relatively rare.
But no matter how rare it is, it is just a very common weed.
Usually when I see it most, I will take another look at it.
Most of the time it will be simply ignored.
Moreover, the fruits of this kind of lantern are not only edible, but also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.
It can clear away heat, promote qi, relieve pain and reduce swelling.
It can cure colds, gills, sore throat, cough, bloating, hernia, and pemphigus.
But the current epidemic on Wangdao Island is a very special and strange form of madness. It is a mental illness.
No matter how you look at it, it is completely incompatible with this lantern plant.
But Ye Ming said that the source of the madness was this lantern plant. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
Gong Yu's face was full of doubts.
Liu Yunlong was deeply disappointed and disdainful.
I thought that Ye Mingzhen's medical skills were magical and could bring surprises and resolve crises, but now it seems that he is really not very reliable.
It seems that you think too highly of him.
"Ye Ming, don't think that high-minded people like us are ignorant children who don't even understand basic common sense."
"This is just an ordinary lantern plant. It can't be the source of any disease at all."
"Tell me, how could it drive so many people crazy? How could it be capable of creating such a huge crisis?"
"You're not pretending to understand, just talking nonsense!"
Ye Ming picked a fruit from this lantern plant.
Holding it in hand, he turned around and asked Gong Yu and Liu Yunlong.
"Guess what the shape of the fruit is under this thin layer of skin?"
Gong Yu replied: "It's spherical!"
Liu Yunlong also replied in the same way: "Of course it is spherical! This kind of lantern fruit is sold in fruit shops, and we have all eaten it!"
"Really? Then you'd better open your eyes and take a closer look."
Ye Ming smiled.
Tear off the thin outer layer of skin with your hands.
The fruit hidden inside was revealed.
Gong Yu and Liu Yunlong stared at the fruit intently.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the fruit clearly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed.
"Ah? How could this happen? Why does it look like this?"
"It's not round! It's curved...wait! Why does it look like a dragon?"
Normal lantern fruits are spherical in shape.
But the lantern fruit in Ye Ming's hand has a very special shape, really like a dragon.
Lifelike, like a living thing.
It makes people wonder whether this fruit can turn into a real dragon at any time, fly into the clouds and mist, and fly away.
Such an unexpected situation almost shocked the two of them.
Ye Ming looked at the dragon-like fruit and said, "Not only does it look like a dragon, it even has the word dragon in its name."
"This kind of fruit is called the Light Dragon Fruit! But it's not the cage of a cage, but the dragon of a divine dragon!"
"Of course, this grass is also called junco."
"Similar to lantern grass, this lantern grass is actually a medicinal herb."
"But the effects are different. Its main function is to refresh the mind."
"Wait!" Liu Yunlong interrupted Ye Ming and asked: "Since its function is to refresh the mind, why does it make people crazy?"
Ye Ming replied: "Because its medicinal effect is too strong! For people who are strong enough, you can use it to refresh your mind, but ordinary people simply cannot bear its medicinal effect and end up going crazy."
"Then how does it make people go crazy? The people on the island have neither touched it nor eaten it, nor even looked at it... Could it be the smell? But if it is the smell, why?
It’s no use even wearing anti-epidemic clothes?”
"A kind of spiritual wave! Since it bears fruit, its fruit will continue to release a powerful spiritual wave during its growth. This kind of spiritual wave can penetrate any material, so ordinary epidemic prevention clothing is naturally useless.
"
"But what happened to the explosion that night? Don't tell me that this epidemic has nothing to do with the explosion that night, and that the explosion was caused by this junco! Just a piece of grass, even if it is
It’s awesome, so it won’t have such an exaggerated explosion, right? And looking at it now, it doesn’t look like it has ever exploded before!”
Ye Ming nodded and said with certainty: "Yes! That explosion was related to Denglongcao."
"When this kind of junco grows flowers and bears fruit, it will trigger a powerful spiritual wave storm!"
"Under the storm, powerful spiritual waves swept away in all directions, covering a huge area. It would have a strong impact on all living things in this area."
"That night, the villagers and tourists on the island were all affected by this mental wave and had the illusion that an explosion had occurred."
"So, the explosion did not actually happen in reality, it was just an illusion."
"Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to find the location of the explosion, and naturally they cannot find out why the explosion occurred."
"What? Is this the case?" Gong Yu and Liu Yunlong listened with doubts.
Ye Ming didn't feel like he was talking nonsense, but he also felt that it was a bit beyond his understanding.
It’s hard to believe that there are such special plants and such mysterious things in the world.
Gong Yu frowned slightly: "Ye Ming, what do you mean, the villagers and tourists that night also went crazy because of the influence of this mental wave? According to you, since everyone is affected by the mental wave
We are here, but why are only some people sick and others okay? Moreover, there has been no such explosion since that night, so why are people still getting sick one after another?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes! That's true! All the people who were sick that night were sick because of this."
"Even those who got sick later were affected by the mental waves constantly released by the rush."
