Origin Chapter 800: Try it out
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Baiye asked nervously, "What kind of poison is it?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's not poison, it's eggs."
"Insect eggs?" Wu Baiye was puzzled.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, his right hand stuck out, extending out of the aura of the water and waving out the pool of water.
This scene made Wu Baiye **** in a breath of cold air. The pool in front of him was three feet square and seven feet deep. It held a lot of water, but Wu Zhongyuan drew out all the water in his gestures. It's like pouring out a cup of overnight herbal tea.
Without waiting for Wu Baiye to recover, Wu Zhongyuan had already grabbed a gray and white object from the bottom of the pool. When Wu Zhongyuan placed the object on the bluestone beside the pool, everyone realized that what he had grabbed from the bottom of the pool was A monkey, to be precise, a dead monkey, or a dead monkey with a hideous face and hairless body.
While Wu Baiye was looking at the dead monkey, Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, "Is there such a monkey in the Dakuang realm?"
"The monkey group is rarely seen in Dakuang, and I occasionally see ordinary macaques. It looks like this ugly and hideous monkey, and it is so big that my subordinates have never seen it before." Wu Baiye shook his head and said. Looking at the accompanying people, everyone shook their heads.
Wu Baiye pulled out his dagger and asked, "Do you want to cut open the monkey's body and examine it carefully?"
Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
Wu Baiye stepped forward with a knife, intending to do it.
The autopsy was filthy and bloody. Naturally, it was not Wu Baiye's turn to do it himself. A group of red and blue warriors hurriedly stopped Wu Baiye and replaced him.
Opening the monkey's stomach, the first thing that wafted out was a strong stench, followed by the five internal organs.
The Yellow Emperor and the city lord were both present. Although the warrior in charge of the autopsy was nauseated by the stench, he reached out and took out the five internal organs and intestines without avoiding the filth.
While taking out the five internal organs, a milky white object that did not belong to the internal organs appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing this thing, the warrior in charge of the autopsy took it out of the many internal organs, but just picked it up, he was horrified, shouted, and threw it with his backhand.
Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Baiye were standing aside, but if they weren't terrified, the autopsy warrior wouldn't be so panicked, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't blame him, because he was also startled when he saw this clearly. At one end of the object, there was a hideous and ugly face.
Waiting for the white thing to fall to the ground, Wu Baiye extended his spiritual energy to grab it back from the air and put it aside in the open space.
No matter what this thing is, it is already dead at this time. After a closer look, I found that this bee chrysalis-like creature did not give birth to real facial features. What seemed to be human facial features was actually on its body. several spots.
Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Wu Baiye, Wu Baiye knew why Wu Zhongyuan was looking at him, and slowly shook his head, "This subordinate has never seen this before."
Wu Zhongyuan looked at the others again, and everyone shook their heads wherever they looked.
The warrior in charge of the autopsy lost face in front of the city lord and the Yellow Emperor, and eager to regain his face, he stepped forward with a knife and wanted to cut open the white monster to find out.
Waiting for the warrior to make a move, Wu Zhongyuan stopped him by saying, "Don't worry, there are worm eggs in the water, which means that this monster is an adult, and its belly is undoubtedly full of eggs. I personally Do it.
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the warrior who performed the autopsy turned his head to look at Wu Baiye, and waited for Wu Baiye to nod before backing away.
Wu Zhongyuan condensed a stone knife and went forward to cut open the monster with a human face. As soon as the skin was broken, a white liquid like pus spewed out.
Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to stain a little, and looked closely, this pus-like thing was indeed the eggs of this strange human-faced insect, each egg was only the size of a needle tip, and it was still active at this time, just about to move, but it was not enough to wear Passing through the skin and into the flesh, this thing is afraid of the wind and dry, and the mountain wind blows, and it will die immediately.
After pondering for a while, Wu Zhongyuan squatted down, dipped his right index finger in pus, and sucked the eggs into the flesh and blood of his fingertips.
"Your Highness." Wu Baiye was very nervous.
"It's okay." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, at present it can be determined that this matter was maliciously poisoned, but there is more than one enemy of the human race, and we must understand the characteristics of this worm's egg, so as to infer which one this matter is. do.
Insect eggs enter the body, encounter spiritual energy, and die immediately.
Wu Zhongyuan did the same thing, stretched out his hand and dipped it again. At this time, his control of the spiritual energy had reached the level of perfection. Under deliberate restraint, what was wandering in the body at this time was the Taixuan aura, and even the eggs of the Taixuan aura could tolerate If you don't stop, you will die if you enter the body.
Changed to a dark blue hole, the eggs are still not tolerated.
If it is changed to a light red cave god, the worm eggs can struggle for a while, but they will still be killed by the spiritual energy. In this way, Wu Zhongyuan knows that this kind of worm eggs are not effective for people who practice qi, and they are only aimed at Ordinary people without aura.
Finally, the aura was completely withdrawn, and the eggs were allowed to enter the body. After entering the human body, the eggs hatched immediately and burrowed into the blood vessels, sucking blood frantically and flowing to all parts of the body with the blood.
Under normal circumstances, the worm eggs will have dormant periods of varying lengths when they enter the human body, but in order to determine the characteristics of this thing faster, Wu Zhongyuan will speed up the blood qi movement to help it grow rapidly.
Some things don't raise it, and I don't know what it is. As the eggs hatch and grow, Wu Zhongyuan gradually perceives the characteristics of this human-faced monster. This thing should be a kind of creature like iron worm. Capable of releasing neurohormones to control host behavior.
He had encountered something similar in modern times, in Zuo Ci's underwater mausoleum. The iron nematode he saw that time, to be exact, the iron nematode-like creature was a yellow snake-shaped creature, which was the same as this time. What you see is not the same, but although these creatures are different in shape, they have a common feature, that is, they can control the behavior of the host.
Aura is a kind of energy, and nutrition and blood are actually a kind of energy. Human-faced monsters can't tolerate Aura, but they can absorb nutrients and blood from the human body. The unbearable spiritual energy is transformed into blood energy that the monsters can absorb, and then supplies them frantically, striving to help the monsters mature in the shortest possible time.
Under the impetus of blood gas, the human face monster grows rapidly and releases more and more neurohormones. This neurohormone can affect a person's mind, gradually destroying and replacing it, while the human face monster They also do not have very mature consciousness. Their consciousness is limited to self-survival and reproduction. This is also the instinct of all creatures. They will not kill the host, but only occupy the body of the host and let the host become their nourishment. Suppliers and practitioners of reproduction, and their way of reproduction is bite, the second generation of eggs will be concentrated in the host's mouth and spread through bite.
Finding out the characteristics of this strange human-faced insect, Wu Zhongyuan opened his eyes, and at the same time sent out his thoughts, his dantian opened the gate, Taiyuan's spiritual energy surged through his body, and all the eggs and adult insects disappeared instantly. Tan's right hand dissipated like ash.
During Wu Zhongyuan's "testing the law", Wu Baiye and others had been waiting anxiously. When Wu Zhongyuan opened his eyes, Wu Baiye nervously stepped forward and said, "Your Highness."
Wu Zhongyuan was summing up at this time and was not in a hurry to speak. The ancients knew almost nothing about parasites, and did not understand what the incubation period was. They had to explain it intuitively to them in a way they could understand.
After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan said, "This poison is maliciously injected by others. The poisoned person will not be poisoned immediately. They will lose their consciousness, bite others, and those who are bitten will be poisoned. Most people will not be poisoned immediately, and it varies from person to person, ranging from a few hours to half a month."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, everyone looked at each other. Many people in these two besieged cities were bitten by these people, but most of them showed no signs of poisoning.
"Dare to ask the sage, is there a way to save it?" a red-blooded warrior asked eagerly.
“This poison likes heat and hates cold. People who have been poisoned but have not yet developed the poison can detoxify by taking a large amount of salt water,” Wu Zhongyuan said. A drop of water removes the poison."
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, everyone felt a little relieved, and Wu Baiye asked again, "Excuse me, Lord, how do you identify people who are poisoned?"
"Red spots will appear on the palms of both hands." Wu Zhongyuan replied.
As soon as these words came out, several red and blue warriors immediately pleaded guilty and resigned. Wu Zhongyuan knew that they were going to two villages to screen and treat patients, so he waved his hands and let them go.
Wu Shiyun, the deputy city owner of Dakuang, was also with her. She lived in the mountains and cultivated her spiritual energy.
After a few people left, Wu Zhongyuan reached out his right hand again to decompose the flesh of the monkey corpse. He couldn't turn the flesh and blood into a virtual body through aura, but he could separate the dead corpse from flesh and blood.
He did this for one purpose only, and that was to determine the cause of the monkey's death.
After the fur and flesh were separated, Wu Zhongyuan found the cause of the monkey's death. The monkey was killed by twisting its neck, which made it difficult to continue to investigate. It only takes brute force to break the neck, not at all. Using Reiki, if the opponent killed the monkey with Reiki, you can roughly judge the Reiki cultivation of the person who shot by the broken bones of the monkey, but it is impossible to judge by twisting the neck.
After the inspection, Wu Zhongyuan urged the fire dragon to burn the monkey's corpse, and then lifted off the ground and looked down at the ground. He needed to observe the area where the water of the pool passed through, so as to judge the possible scope of the epidemic.
Because the water volume of the pool is not large, and there is no obvious river channel on the ground, it is inconvenient to search at a high altitude, so I have to return to the low altitude and follow the flow of the pool to search.
The pond water is divided into two parts, the east and the west flow, Wu Zhongyuan seeks the west, Wu Baiye seeks the east, and after half a column of incense, Wu Baiye lifts his breath and begins to search from high altitude.
Wu Zhongyuan had already found the end of the river on the west side at this time. Since it was a dry season, the water volume in the river was not large, and the branch of the westward 30 li was almost dry. But it is not good news for Wu Baiye to lift the air, which means that the small tributaries merge into the mainstream river.
After finding the end of the West Branch, Wu Zhongyuan turned back to the east, caught up with Wu Baiye, and explored the east together with him.
At this time, it was no different than modern times. There were very few villages at this time, and there were no villages around the river. I searched for dozens of miles to the east, but there was no village besieged. After more than 100 miles, the river suddenly diverted to the north.
The direction of rivers in our country is basically from west to east, but some do not follow this principle, and this is the case at present.
Seeing the river suddenly diverted to the north, Wu Zhongyuan's heart suddenly twitched. Dakuang is the northernmost city in the Central Plains, and the North Army Camp is just north of Dakuang...
