Chapter 275 The Mysterious Death Event
"Then why did the corpse worm turn into an ant?" Sister Li asked from the side. This is also the most confusing question for me. Yes, the corpse worm is a very yang thing, but that kind of ant is a very yin thing. Although things are said to be yin and yang that can transform into each other, I just can't figure out how they transform.
After listening to Sister Li's question, Xiao Lei continued to explain with a smile: "Have you noticed that there is one similarity between the weird big ant and the corpse worm in appearance alone, that is, they both have a It has a human-shaped face with vague facial features.”
After Xiaolei reminded us, the three of us suddenly thought of this. Xiaolei was right. Why didn't we think of it before?
Xiao Lei continued: "It was because both of them had weird 'faces' that I suddenly realized that there might be some connection between the two. I analyzed it carefully at that time and came to a conclusion, They all grow on corpses.
Of course corpse worms breed from the corpse of eminent monks. Another point is that we have all heard from my cousin before that the 'human-faced worm' in Zhang Yuanwai's son's stomach was bred from the corpse of a Taoist priest. Later, The Jew died because of this 'human-face bug' that was parasitic in his brain.
So I thought that the bugs that breed on extremely yin and extremely yang corpses might all have heads shaped like a 'human face', and since those ants also have such a 'human face', they are very likely to Corpse worms were also bred from corpses, and later turned into ants due to the special environment in the valley.
What's special about the environment in the valley? It's obvious that the yin energy is extremely heavy. In other words, in this special yin environment, corpse worms develop into weird ants.
Another point is that ants crawl out of the soil.
Therefore, I wondered if corpse insects would turn into butterflies if they were directly exposed to a hole with strong Yin energy, and if they were buried in the soil of the hole, they might turn into ants.
Moreover, the soil in the cave is very special. Do you still remember what the Taoist priest said when you were in Shanghai?"
When Xiao Lei said this, he took a notebook from the side, turned to a certain page, and started reading:
"Qin Shihuang once refined the elixir of immortality in a cave. How to refine the elixir? In that cave, three hundred pairs of eighteen-year-old virgins were made on a specially prepared silk cloth. They had sex day and night until they died of exhaustion. Of course, to achieve this effect, three hundred pairs of men and women must be given a special drug to make them extremely passionate.
After these three hundred pairs of men and women died, they wrapped the bodies with this large piece of silk cloth, and then repeatedly poured a specially prepared decoction on the cloth. After twenty seven days, that is, one hundred and forty days Afterwards, under the combined action of the decoction and the yin and yang energy in the cave, these bones will condense into a purple crystal that is only the size of a fetus. This purple crystal needs to be collected from an eighteen-year-old man. Semen, and the menstruation of a woman of the same age, are repeatedly watered, and after more than a year, this purple crystal can become a spiritual fetus,"
When I visited the Taoist priest in Shanghai, only Xiao Lei sat with a notebook and carefully recorded what the Taoist said. Now that I think about it, what he did was very good. As the saying goes, "a good memory is worse than a bad pen." In addition, turning information into Text will make the information clearer and more organized, and it will be easier to find more details.
Xiao Lei closed his notebook and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I recorded everything the Taoist priest said, so I have a very deep memory of the details the Taoist priest said. When I was in the cave, I suddenly thought of this detail and realized I noticed that even though the mixture of corpses and decoctions was covered with cloth, it was impossible not to penetrate into the soil under the cloth. In this way, the soil turned into a kind of soil with strong yin and yang energy. Xiao Ming, you I also smelled it, and the soil had a special fishy smell, which was a manifestation of the strong yin and yang energy.
As for whether that kind of soil is extremely yin or extremely yang, I haven't thought about it clearly, but I remembered the book I read from my cousin, which said that whether it is extremely yin or extremely yang, they can be transformed into each other. Combining these factors, It suddenly occurred to me that maybe if you bury corpse insects in the soil, they might turn into ants. Unexpectedly, I succeeded in doing so."
After Xiaolei said this, although I still don't quite understand it, I have a little understanding. In addition to being afraid, we admire Xiaolei even more. In that kind of dangerous situation, he can still see so many details and think so well. Clarity, except for Xiao Lei, I am afraid no one can achieve it.
Originally, we were full of confidence in this operation, thinking that we might be able to eliminate Blind Man Gao in one fell swoop because we had made so many preparations. But what we didn’t expect was that not only did we fail to eliminate Blind Man Gao, we almost lost our lives. , Alas, what should I do next? Everything seems to be back to where it started.
My cousin suddenly interjected: "After hearing about your experiences in the cave, I think there is something very strange."
Hearing what my cousin said, we all turned our attention to him. He leaned on the sofa, touched his chin with his hand, raised his face slightly, squinted his eyes, and continued thoughtfully: "We are in Shanghai, and we listened to that Taoist priest. When talking about the situation in the cave, why didn't he mention the strange corpse on the rock wall? Is it because he didn't know, or he knew but deliberately didn't tell us,"
These words from our cousin shocked us a lot. Yes, the Taoist priest had been in the cave for so long. Ordinarily, he should know that there were corpses on the rock wall, but if he knew, why didn't he tell us? .
However, if you think about it carefully, it is also possible that the Taoist priest was completely unaware of this matter. It was pitch dark in the cave after all, and perhaps he really did not find the strange corpse during the time he was practicing in the cave.
But another question is: Even if the Taoist priest doesn't know the corpse, he will see the ants after all. Wouldn't those ants usually crawl to the corpse?
My cousin said that this possibility also exists, because after all, we disturbed the corpse with corpse worms that day. The corpse is extremely yin-qi, and corpse worms are the most yang things. When yin and yang meet, it is like water meeting fire. Both parties would inevitably react violently, so the corpse insects transformed into butterflies, and the corpses also transformed into corpses. This attracted the ants to come over, but in normal times, ants might not be attracted at all.
All these possibilities make me a little dizzy, it's so complicated.
The secrets about Blind Man Gao have been peeled off layer after layer, but we have no other choice but to use perseverance and will to continue peeling off the cocoons until these secrets are completely clarified and Blind Man Gao is killed.
My cousin suggested that regarding the situations we encountered in the cave, it would be best to ask the Taoist priest in Shanghai. He should be the person who knows the best about everything in the cave.
But when we visited a Taoist priest in Shanghai last time, we originally wanted to leave his contact information, but the Taoist priest told us that he did not have a phone or other modern communication equipment. To contact him, we could only contact him through the historian. .
So, we immediately called the historian and told him everything we encountered in the cave in detail, and asked him to find a Taoist priest and tell us about our experience in the cave to see what the Taoist priest could do. Can't provide any useful information.
But what happened next was completely beyond our expectations.
When the historian in Shanghai answered the phone, he immediately went to the Taoist priest's home, but he brought back news that shocked us: the Taoist priest had moved away, and no one knew where he had moved.
The Taoist priest had moved earlier or later, but he moved at this exact time. We vaguely felt that it was very strange. Could it be that he was hiding from us? Why was he hiding from us? Was he worried about something, or was he afraid of something?
The situation that was gradually becoming clear suddenly became confusing again.
Another day passed, just when we were at a loss and didn't know what to do next, even more shocking news came: the Taoist priest was dead.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to us. The despair, fear, and elusive mystery enveloped us again.
It was around ten o'clock in the evening. Sister Li and I came back from our cousin's house. After washing and preparing to rest, we suddenly received a call from Sister Li, saying that our cousin had called and asked us to go there immediately, saying that something had happened. .
I was lying in bed and already drowsy, but when I received the call from Sister Li, I immediately jumped up from the bed as if I had taken stimulants. I felt that every muscle in my body was tense because of the presence of the blind man. , so our nerves are always in a state of tension, and any slight disturbance will arouse a great reaction in us.
I originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Sister Li had already hung up the phone and seemed very anxious.
Something happened, what happened? Could it be that the blind man Gao was attacking again? I immediately took out the tranquilizer gun and dagger, my heart was beating wildly, and I paced around the house uneasily, waiting for Sister Li to pick me up.
About ten minutes later, the phone rang again. Sister Li drove up to my downstairs. I hurried down and quickly got into Sister Li's car.
On the way, I couldn't wait to ask Sister Li what happened. Sister Li said that she didn't know the details. It was a call from her cousin, asking us to go there. He said that something important had happened and we needed to discuss it immediately. How to deal with it, but didn’t say anything on the phone.
We both drove to our cousin's house full of doubts.
When I arrived at my cousin's house, I found that everything was as usual. I just felt that my cousin, Xiaolei, and Hongmei were discussing something. After we sat on the sofa, my cousin talked about the whole story. Remove the pulse.
Just now, my cousin received a very unusual phone call from a historian in Shanghai. On the phone, the professor told us some shocking news: the Taoist priest was dead.
Here's what happens:
Just this morning, around nine o'clock, a middle-aged woman suddenly came to see the historian. She looked like she was in shock.
Upon meeting, the historian immediately recognized that this middle-aged woman was the nanny of the Taoist family.
The middle-aged woman handed the historian a letter and said: "Mr. Yang wrote this letter before he died and specifically asked me to give it to you."
When the historian heard this, he was immediately shocked and asked: "Do you mean that Mr. Yang is dead?"
