Chapter 145 The Sunstrider said 2 in 1(2/2)
【Concentrate your attention!】
At the end of the record about "Cotton Slough", the author speculated based on the words left by the strange alchemist at that time that Cotton Slough is a kind of "worm" from Changdian. After a hundred years, it will sneak into the belly of pregnant women and eat the babies in the belly.
And replace it. When a pregnant woman gives birth, the newborn cotton slough will escape in the form of "sludge". After a period of development, the human-shaped "human velvet" will be sent to the pregnant woman's home to continue to absorb nutrients and break down more
"Human antler".
What's even stranger is that on top of the dust, there is a thick layer of black crow feathers. The crow feathers are brand new, as if they had just been plucked from the crow.
For things that cannot be explained by "common sense", they range from climate change, the alternation of day and night, to water condensing into ice and fire burning into charcoal. The ancients with rich imagination combined what they saw and heard with certain subjective conjectures to combine some strange phenomena.
Secrets are recorded in this way.
"I didn't mean you."
When Ruchen saw this, he was stunned. He was about to curse a few words, but when he saw the man kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, he suddenly couldn't curse anymore.
Zheng Xiu waited for a while.
"Go! Follow!"
At the same time, in Mian's village, another pregnant woman also gave birth to a mud baby.
Cotton slough starts out like an infectious disease.
"Why do you believe so much in the ancient books?"
Hearing Zheng Xiu talking to himself, Ruchen quickly asked.
Zheng Xiu shook his head and waved his hand: "No."
He remembered what the master said: There are eight eccentricities in the world, and one stone is owned by strange people. The implication is that everyone in the world is normal, except for thaumaturgis who behave strangely in order to follow all kinds of strange "rules"
, which conforms to the "restrictions" of thaumaturgy and is difficult for ordinary people to understand, so it is called a miraculous person.
"Yes, strong man." The old man smiled helplessly: "The old man had burned human antler with his own hands, and he knew that cotton sloughing was very powerful. After burning the human antler, the old man felt guilty and depressed. He trained Xiaozhao to become the leader of Jingtang Town.
The sixteenth generation of pure witches has returned to his fields."
It was twenty years ago again.
Xiao Zhao wiped off the dust on a stool with his hands and turned a blind eye to Crow Feather in the room. After helping the old man sit down, Xiao Zhao obediently knelt beside the old man's knees and asked with innocent eyes blinking.
The woman was still holding the "human antler" and was sitting on her knees on the ground. The husband at the side did not dare to come forward, but he was obedient.
To be honest, Zheng Xiu had read some ancient folk books like this before he was imprisoned, and they contained all kinds of strange things. However, the things recorded above were too bizarre. In today's world, people still generally believe that the "theory of a round sky and a square earth" is
, it is difficult for Zheng Xiu to regard these strange stories as true.
After careful identification, the light spots turned out to be umbrella-shaped, which reminded Zheng Xiu of a plant called "dandelion".
"What do you want to do to our Cuihua!"
fail.
"Do you still want money?" Xiaozhao suddenly raised his voice and interrupted.
The old man touched Xiaozhao's head and expressed embarrassment: "What the strong man doesn't know is that Jingtang Town is located in a remote place and rarely communicates with the outside world. Living in the town does not use Daqian's coins and gold and silver, but
When bartering, if a strong man seeks wealth, I'm afraid..."
The other residents of the town were also safe.
"As expected of Brother Zheng!" Ruchen smiled and gave Zheng Xiu a thumbs up.
The house had been covered in dust for many years and was covered with cobwebs, so it was obviously uninhabited all year round.
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you for five years, why did you suddenly come back?"
Zheng Xiu had no expression on his face and clenched his fists.
When the special effect disappears, Zheng Xiu throws it away again.
The old man sighed: "Because, about twenty years ago, there was already a cotton slough here."
"That man is really a beast. How could he watch his mother-in-law being burned alive! I might as well slap him to death!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, monk!" When the man heard this, he said angrily: "The Jingwu said that being burned by the fire is purification! Besides, it was Cuihua who didn't want to be separated from the insect! That's not a human being! It's not a human being at all!
It's a bug, wuwuwu... If it weren't for that insect, how could I watch Cuihua being burned to death... Wuwuwu... What did our old Zhang family do wrong to cause God to deal with our Cuihua like this?
Woohoo!”
Cotton slough is called the "100-year-old bug" because this phenomenon occurs every hundred years, mostly in remote places.
Until two months later, the child suddenly fell into a deep sleep and dark green mold spots appeared on his body.
The green light spots were not dense. Zheng Xiu took a few glances and took the time to look for clues.
Ruchen followed Zheng Xiu obediently, jumping up and down, looking very happy, but his face turned sad when he smiled: "Brother Zheng, tell me, if we intervene in this matter, will it delay your rescue of Feng Bei?"
What about the donor?"
Ruchen looked at the obedient husband, suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face, and said something murderous. Then he returned to normal. When he turned to look at Zheng Xiu, he was as simple and calm as the white moonlight. Ruchen touched his bald head and wondered: "Zheng Xiu"
Brother, how are you going to find that insect called cotton slough?"
The man who was furious at first suddenly collapsed and cried bitterly.
Zheng Xiu held down the monk's bald head and resumed breathing. This cotton slough would only seek parasites on pregnant women, swallowing their babies and replacing them. Such a regular reproduction method made Zheng Xiu understand the "spores" in the sky that can only be seen with spiritual vision.
It is harmless to others except pregnant women, otherwise the ancients would have noticed the difference long ago.
Suddenly, Zheng Xiu thought of a strange question. Such a cruel method to solve cotton sloughing. No matter how ignorant a normal person is, they would not believe an outdated ancient book and directly choose to burn pregnant women and children alive.
"Later, the candle melted."
The old man smiled and said: "The candle was melted by the scorching sun because it was too close to the sun..."
The old man said this and closed his eyes.
for a long time.
