Chapter 280 Can You Live Without a Head?

As soon as Xuanzang arrived in this small country, local monks immediately reported it to the king. When the king heard that monks from the Tang Dynasty had arrived, he couldn't wait to summon him, because he felt that the Tang Dynasty was a great country in the Celestial Dynasty and was very developed in all aspects. Even the monks, It is definitely stronger than those in a small country like ours.

Xuanzang knew nothing about this, but when he walked into the hall, he was a little surprised by what he saw. He saw many guards, standing in a circle, with brooms in their hands, vigilant and nervous. Look at the ground.

At that time, Xuanzang was still puzzled and thought, could this be a special etiquette that he had never heard of before?

But since Xuanzang stepped into the hall, the guards all noticed an amazing detail. The Gu insects under their feet actually gave way to Xuanzang who walked in slowly.

This shocked everyone in the hall.

Because these Gu insects were eager to attack anyone in the hall, but only against Xuanzang, they not only did not attack, but also gave way.

They quickly told this astonishing phenomenon to the king inside.

When the king heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He felt that his estimate was indeed correct. This monk from the Tang Dynasty was indeed extraordinary in cultivation. He immediately became very polite and shouted loudly through the crowd, offering Xuanzang a seat and giving him a seat. After serving tea and several large plates of fruits, other people in the hall also stood in awe of Xuanzang.

However, Xuanzang was still in the dark about all this, and he did not notice the little Gu insects on the ground.

He just felt that the etiquette of this small country was really strange. When the king received people, he would be surrounded by a group of guards holding brooms. It was really unprecedented and unheard of.

When he sat down in a daze, he suddenly heard the earthen jar in his bag making a crackling sound, and then he suddenly remembered that the earthen jar still contained those weird insects.

At this time, the noise of the earthen jar became louder and louder, as if the bugs inside were going crazy. Xuanzang felt that something was wrong. Ever since he put these bugs in the earthen jar, they had been quiet. Why did they suddenly become restless now?

He subconsciously put his hand into the bag, intending to stuff the earthen jar inside, but unexpectedly he got confused in the rush and accidentally opened the lid of the earthen jar a little. He only felt a bug passing by his side. His hand quickly climbed out, which made him even more confused.

Before Xuanzang could react, all the bugs inside quickly crawled out, crawled out of the bundle at extremely fast speeds, and fell to the ground.

Xuanzang was a little panicked, because after all, he was in the king's palace, and if he released these weird bugs and disturbed others, the consequences would be serious.

But the next scene is even more shocking:

I saw these bugs rushing towards the Gu bugs on the ground, and then devouring the Gu bugs one by one at extremely fast speeds. These Gu bugs that could not be burned, drowned, or crushed were killed in an instant. They were completely wiped out, and while eating the bugs, these bugs pooped out black, foul-smelling feces.

Soon, not a single Gu insect was left on the smooth ground.

In this hall, in order to prevent the Gu insects from hiding, almost everything has been moved away, except for a few chairs. Therefore, everyone in the room can clearly see that those extremely terrifying Gu insects have indeed been completely destroyed. The bugs ate it.

Everyone in the room was stunned by this strange scene. After a long while, everyone recovered, and then, earth-shattering cheers rang out in the room.

In this way, Xuanzang unexpectedly saved the king in a daze, which made the king admire Xuanzang and even prepared to make Xuanzang a national advisor.

It took a long time for Xuanzang to figure out what was going on. He wanted to explain the origin of the insects to the king and ministers, but because of the language barrier, he even talked and gestured, but in the end he couldn't explain clearly.

However, Xuanzang thought that even if he made it clear, the king might not believe it, so he gave up in the end. Later, the king saw that he could not keep Xuanzang, so he tentatively asked Xuanzang if he could leave these insects to him. First, he would be able to handle it if those poisonous insects appeared again.

Xuanzang happily gave the bug to the king, and the king was extremely grateful to Xuanzang and gave Xuanzang many treasures, but Xuanzang only received some travel expenses.

Xuanzang would think about this adventure and those mysterious insects again and again for a long time after that, but for him, this was simply an unsolvable mystery.

And this mystery was not revealed until he arrived in Tianzhu by a senior monk there.

The eminent monk told him that the mummy with its burned brain that he met in the desert had a very special constitution and was an "extremely positive" person. This kind of person's body was extremely positive.

How is this determined?

The eminent monk said that if you split open the skull of a person who died of heatstroke, you will see smoke coming out of his brain, as if his brain has been roasted. This phenomenon is generally known to few people.

For people with extremely positive constitutions, if they die of heatstroke, the situation will be more serious, and their brains will burn, because only the brain of the mummy was burned to ashes, while other organs were not burned. From the traces of the past, we can probably judge that the person was an extremely positive person in life, and the bugs born on this mummy are also "extremely yang things". This kind of "extremely yang thing" corpse worms can be said to be It is invulnerable to all poisons and is the most yang and strong thing in the world.

Those Gu insects that are almost unkillable are "extremely yin things", and only corpse insects that are "extremely yang things" can "defeat" them.

After the eminent monk explained it, Xuanzang understood what was going on.

Xuanzang also curiously asked the eminent monk, since the corpse worm can defeat the extremely tenacious Gu worm, is it possible that the vitality of the corpse worm itself is also as tenacious as the Gu worm, and cannot be burned, drowned, or crushed to death with a knife? It will not die even if it is chopped.

In his book, Xuanzang recorded the eminent monk's answer to his question: "Yushiye", which means that the vitality of the corpse worm is stronger than that of the Gu worm.

The eminent monk further said that this kind of corpse bug will just die and disappear without a trace, and ordinary human methods cannot kill them at all.

This shocked Xuanzang. He had never thought that there were such strange insects in the world. It was incredible that people could kill tigers and lions, but not this little corpse insect.

Does this kind of corpse insect really have no nemesis in the world? When Xuanzang couldn't help but raise this question, the eminent monk just smiled and shook his head, saying of course not, everything in time is mutually reinforcing, and this kind of zombie Of course, insects also have their enemies.

So what is its nemesis? The eminent monk simply answered that it is "a headless living beast."

Huizhong saw that this was recorded in the book. He thought at the time that this might be just a joke made by the eminent monk, because the so-called "headless living beasts and birds" refer to animals or animals that have no head but are still alive. Birds, that is to say, only such "living creatures" can become the "nemesis" of this corpse insect, but without a head, how can any beast or bird still survive?

Therefore, Huizhong felt that this was just a joke made by the eminent monk. This kind of corpse insect might really have no nemesis, but everything that happened tonight subverted his view and reminded him of the record in the book again. Could it be that Is the sudden death of this kind of corpse bug because there really is a "nemesis" of corpse bugs appearing around?

With Huizhong's profound medical knowledge, he understood very well that the reason why the corpse worm died so violently was most likely due to the presence of a special yin energy around it, and this special yin energy happened to be the corpse worm's nemesis.

There are thousands of kinds of yang qi, and there are thousands of kinds of yin qi, and the yin qi that appears around may be the enemy of corpse insects.

So what is emitting this kind of yin energy? According to the Tianzhu monk, what emits this kind of yin energy should be a headless but still alive beast or bird.

When Huizhong thought of this, he couldn't help but shuddered. Is this really possible?

If he hesitated any longer, these zombie insects might die soon, and he knew he should act immediately.

What to do next.

The first step is to follow this special Yin Qi and find the source of this Yin Qi. Maybe the source of these Yin Qi is really a headless beast or bird as the eminent monk in Tianzhu said, but no matter What is it? We must get rid of this source of yin energy.

So how to detect this yin energy? Huizhong has already thought of a method.

What he didn't expect was that this method of searching for Yin Qi that he had already mastered would be put to use now.

This method of detecting Yin Qi sounds amazing, so how did Huizhong learn this method?

It turned out that when Huizhong was practicing medicine, he met a master tomb robber and became a close friend. The two had similar temperaments and often drank and chatted together, and eventually became friends who talked about everything.

This master tomb robber has a staggering special ability. He can find the exact location of a tomb just by smelling it with his nose. Moreover, he can accurately identify the tomb just by smelling the soil dug out by Luoyang shovel. era, so this person would be extremely wealthy just based on his nose.

Because his surname is Zhang, others jokingly call him "Gou-nosed Zhang".

Huizhong was of course very interested in this kind of strange person, but he always believed that the superhuman sense of smell of "dog nose Zhang" was completely innate, and often jokingly said to "dog nose Zhang" that if he had the same It would be great to have a nose like this. You don't have to work hard to make money by practicing medicine or dig a few big tombs, and you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life. Whenever this happens, "Dog Nose Zhang" doesn't answer, but just smiles at him. That's all, but Huizhong always felt that the "dog's nose" smile seemed to have a deeper meaning and hide some secret.

Sure enough, later on, this secret was finally revealed.

One day many years later, the "dog with a stretched nose" fell seriously ill. He consulted many doctors, including Huizhong, but none of them recovered. His condition became worse and worse, and he was about to die. One day, the "dog with a stretched nose" He sent a servant to invite Huizhong to come over, saying that something happened.
