Chapter 392 A strange bee
Xiaolei and I were stunned after hearing this. We didn't expect the old man to be so scheming.
The old man continued: "Actually, what Lao Lu said about the curative effect of 'Monkey Face Flower' is indeed so miraculous, but why did he tell me this? It's because Lao Lu has already seen how much I know about this flower. came out, so he told all about the magic of this flower, not to be honest with us, but to show me how much he knew about the 'Monkey Face Flower' in order to get more from me. information,"
We both couldn't help being surprised when the old man said this, and asked almost in unison: "You know something about this kind of flower, how did he know about it?"
The old man smiled slightly: "Lao Lu just said that he saw the 'Yinqing Tree' turn red and suddenly thought of the 'Monkey Face Flower'. In fact, this is not the case. The actual situation should be that he smelled the smell of the 'Monkey Face Flower', Then I noticed that the 'Yinqing Tree' turned red, because when the 'Yinqing Tree' encountered 'Monkey Face Grass', its ends would indeed turn red, but the redness was extremely faint and you couldn't notice it at all if you didn't look carefully.
How could he observe such subtle changes in the 'Yin Qing Tree' before he knew there might be a 'Monkey Face Flower' around him? This is so unreasonable.
The real situation should be that he first smelled the smell of the 'Monkey Face Flower', and then observed the changes in the surrounding 'Yinqing Trees'. In other words, the 'Yinqing Trees' were just a reference. The most important thing is It was he who smelled the 'Monkey Face Flower' first,"
"Why don't we smell the smell of 'Monkey Face Flower'? Do we really have 'Monkey Face Flower' here?" I asked in surprise, as the old man said, if there is the smell of "Monkey Face Flower" here , of course there should be "monkey face flower".
The old man smiled and shook his head: "There is no 'Monkey Face Flower' here. I haven't encountered that kind of grass in decades,"
Hearing what he said, Xiaolei and I were even more surprised. Since there is no "monkey face flower", how could there be the smell of "monkey face flower"?
The old man seemed to have guessed our thoughts, and then explained: "You may not have thought that my 'Monkey Eagle' can emit the same smell as the 'Monkey Face Flower', but this smell is not strong, unless I am extremely sensitive and familiar with this smell, otherwise I would not notice it at all.
That old Lu might be familiar with this smell, so he could smell it. When he smelled the smell of 'Monkey Eagle', he mistakenly thought it was the smell of 'Monkey Face Flower', and he was sure I thought that what was in my bag was the "Monkey Face Flower", so I paid so much attention to this bag. Although I felt that this person had ulterior motives, and what he said was true and false, I really didn't expect that he had anything to do with Japan. origin,"
So, the old man's speculation is very reasonable. If Lao Lu really thinks that the bag is the "Monkey Face Flower", he will definitely get the bag at any cost, and the waiter who broke into the room is also extremely worried. Maybe he paid a lot of money to buy it.
But one thing we still don't understand is, how can "Monkey Eagle" have the smell of "Monkey Face Grass".
When we raised this question, the old man smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I just told Lao Lu that the 'monkey face flower' can only grow on the bones of monsters. In fact, I lied to him, 'monkey face flower' can only grow on the bones of monsters." The place where the 'face flower' really grows is actually the excrement of this 'monkey eagle'. For this reason, in order to collect this kind of 'monkey face flower', I specially collected the excrement of this 'monkey eagle' and I hope that the 'Monkey Face Flower' can grow from this excrement, but these are all in vain, because if there is no 'Monkey Eagle' excrement, the 'Monkey Face Flower' will definitely grow, right here On the one hand, I didn't completely lie to that old Lu. In addition, the surrounding environment also needs to cooperate. According to my research, the place where this kind of 'Monkey Face Flower' grows is usually where the 'Monkey Eagle' grows all year round. The place of excretion that has been accumulated for many months.
To elaborate, this is very complicated. The excretion method of the 'Monkey Eagle' is very different from that of ordinary birds and birds. Ordinary birds and birds usually have only one excretory tract, and the feces and urine come out from one hole. Moreover, in order to reduce the weight of the body during flight, they can excrete it at any time.
But the excretion method of the 'Monkey Eagle' is very different. It has two excretion openings. One of the excretion openings can be excreted at any time like ordinary poultry and birds, and it is a semi-liquid and semi-solid combination of feces and urine. things.
But the other excretory hole should be unique to the 'Monkey Eagle'.
This excretion hole specializes in excreting a kind of light red solid, and it only excretes once every thirty days or so. What is even more strange is that when excreting this solid feces, they always fly to a fixed place, and It is not excreted everywhere.
This kind of light red feces has no odor at all, only a faint fishy smell, and this fishy smell is also mixed with some fragrance. In short, it is a very special smell. Coincidentally, 'Monkey Eagle' 'I also have this smell on my body, but it's just a little lighter than the smell of feces."
"Then the 'Monkey Face Flower' should also smell like this," I speculated based on what the old man just said.
The old man nodded: "Yes, that's right, that's the smell of 'Monkey Face Flower'. It's quite wonderful. Also, what I said about worshiping that Taoist priest as my teacher is not completely fabricated, because I My father was a Taoist priest when he was young, and he actually practiced the Feng Shui school, which is the school that is good at preserving corpses from decaying.
As for the "Monkey Eagle" and "Monkey Face Flower", I heard him talk about it when I was very young.
The old man said that the light red 'monkey eagle' feces is called 'Yin Wan Dan' by their sect. This 'Yin Wan Dan' is extremely precious and can greatly slow down the decomposition of the corpse."
When I heard the word "yinwan", I immediately thought of testicles. Ha, what a strange name.
I originally thought this in my heart, but I said it out loud unknowingly. After hearing my association, the old man and Xiao Lei both laughed.
The old man explained solemnly: "Ha, you have quite a lot of imagination, but in the Tang Dynasty, 'Wan' meant feces, and the ancient meaning of 'Wan' was still preserved in Japanese. Later, Extended to "like the shape of feces," "a ball of stuff," etc., you may know that in the past, Japanese ships were often named "such-and-such pills" and the like."
The old man's knowledge is profound enough, and he can give us a lot of insights by just saying a few words.
"This kind of shit only occurs once a month. This cycle is very similar to a woman's menstruation," Xiao Lei also murmured next to him.
"Ha, you two young people, why are you making three-way associations? Ha, but in a sense, this association is not wrong. 'Monkey Eagle' is originally negative. After eating that After killing the monster, the skin and flesh of the monster will stay in the belly of the 'Monkey Eagle' for about a month, and finally it will turn into a light red color, just like Taoist alchemy, and the belly of the 'Monkey Eagle' will be like an elixir. furnace,"
We think the old man's metaphor is quite interesting and appropriate.
After the old man's explanation, we found that what the old man told Lao Lu was indeed true and false.
But what is certain is that this wonderful "monkey face flower" may be extremely difficult to find, because the "monkey eagle" is basically extinct.
Without the "Monkey Eagle", there will be no "Monkey Eagle" excrement, and the "soil" on which the "Monkey Face Flower" grows will be gone. If the skin is gone, the hair will be attached.
Xiao Lei and I also felt very sorry that such an extremely precious and strategic herb could never be found again.
Especially Xiao Lei, as an officer who graduated from the military academy, has a deep understanding of the military significance of this medicinal material.
"Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Maybe this kind of 'monkey-faced flower' is still there. We may have underestimated Lao Lu. In many aspects, he may have a much deeper understanding of this kind of 'monkey-faced flower' than we do." ,"
As soon as the old man said this, he heard the "Monkey Eagle" next to him bark a few more times, and nodded repeatedly, as if he agreed with the old man's inference.
This reaction from "Monkey Eagle" suddenly made the old man excited. He immediately turned around and asked "Monkey Eagle": "Have you discovered anything?"
"Monkey Eagle" nodded again, and then saw "Monkey Eagle" sticking out its tongue.
When we saw the tongue of "Monkey Eagle", Xiaolei and I were both surprised, because its tongue is so special, it is more than a foot long, but not more than two inches wide, and it is at the center of the tongue. The end is actually bifurcated, which suddenly reminds me of the core of a poisonous snake, which is scary to look at.
Maybe he was used to seeing it, but the old man seemed not surprised. He held the long tongue of the "Monkey Eagle" with his hand and looked at it carefully, but he didn't know what he was looking at.
Suddenly, I heard the old man shout: "My guess is right. As expected, Lao Lu knows a lot about that kind of 'monkey-faced flower',"
Xiao Lei and I were confused by him again. Why did the old man come to this conclusion just by looking at the tongue of "Monkey Eagle"?
We quickly moved over to see the long tongue of the "Monkey Eagle".
After taking a closer look, we discovered that there was a golden thing on the tip of the tongue of the "Monkey Eagle". When we looked closer, we found that it was an insect the size of a fly.
The whole body of this insect is golden yellow, but it has no obvious head and tail. Its round body has two pairs of tentacles and wings on the front and back, and the entire body is completely symmetrical.
What kind of insect is this?
The old man explained to us that this kind of bug is called 'headless golden wasp'. The smell they like to smell the most and are the most sensitive to is the smell of 'monkey face flower', which can also be said to be the smell of 'monkey hawk'. Or the smell of red feces from a "monkey hawk".
As long as there is this kind of smell, the "Headless Golden Bee" will fly over. Therefore, whether you are looking for "Monkey Eagle", "Monkey Face Flower", or the light red excrement of "Monkey Eagle", "Headless Golden Bee" Bees' are the most important guides.
It was through this kind of bee that the old man found the "Monkey Eagle".
But these "Headless Golden Bees" also became extinct with the extinction of the "Monkey Eagle". Why do they suddenly appear in this hotel today? This is probably related to that Lao Lu.
"Are these 'Headless Golden Bees' released by Lao Lu?" the old man asked "Monkey Eagle" in a low voice, and "Monkey Eagle" nodded affirmatively.
But Xiao Lei and I are a little doubtful of the "Monkey Eagle"'s judgment. This "Monkey Eagle" has been in the bag all the time, and it can't see anything outside. How can we be sure that the "Headless Golden Bee" must be an old man?
