Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 846 Extinction (4000)

"This is again..."

Naturally, Hua Tuo didn't know "Insect Beads", and there was a look of suspicion on his face when he saw this.

Naturally, Wu Liang would not explain further to him, but silently drew out the copper dagger and made a small cut on his finger, then squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it on one of the "worm beads".

Anyway, sooner or later this "worm bead" will bleed to recognize the master, choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun, so let's choose today.

"hiss……"

Accompanied by a light sound, the blood dripping on the "worm bead" was sucked in instantly without any trace.

At the same time, Wu Liang actually felt a bit of warmth on the "worm bead", and its original dark red color was also quietly changing, and it was as if it had been renovated in just a few seconds. Turned into a brighter bright red.

This scene was very strange, and everyone was staring at it intently.

But Prince Chamu stepped forward and whispered to Wu Liang, "Master, the aura of this bead suddenly increased several times after inhaling your blood. At this moment, it is like a raging fire, wrapping you all together. stand up."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

This shows that the witch Hu did not lie to Wu Liang at the beginning, and the recognition of the master by dripping blood is indeed the way to master the "worm bead".

However, apart from the temperature and color changes of the "worm beads", Wu Liang himself has not felt any obvious changes in other aspects.

And the male corpse full of worm eggs obtained from the Qi Ai cemetery before was left on the bank of the river with the carriages and horses of the Qi people army when crossing the river, so it is difficult to get it immediately. Those gnats go do some experimenting.

of course.

What Wu Liang is doing now is not just to understand those worms, but more to learn more about this strange worm hidden in Yaoren's body...

between speeches.

Wu Liang suddenly felt something strange!
It's not the kind of abnormality in the body, but the abnormality in the level of spiritual consciousness.

He felt that his spiritual consciousness had unknowingly merged with the "worm bead" in his hand, and the "worm bead" stretched out silk threads as thin as silk at this moment, extending outward like tiny tentacles , and one of the tentacles has been connected to the bug in front of him in a daze.

In addition, there were more than a dozen other silk threads extending into the medicine man's head.

Wu Liang could clearly feel that there were more than a dozen of the same strange insects hidden in the medicine man's head, and with his own thoughts, the dozen of strange insects had already started to move, and they were now moving along the medicine man's strange path. Drill out of the small hole on the eight meridians.

In addition, there are dozens of silk threads gathered in a small porcelain bottle in his arms.

This small porcelain bottle contained the insect eggs that were taken out from the soft tissue of the skull not long ago. Even if the small porcelain bottle was closed with a cork, the connection between these silk threads and these insect eggs could not be blocked.

He could even clearly feel that the larvae in these eggs had come to life, and at this moment, those larvae were struggling to break through the thin shell.

As for the residual limbs other than the medicine man's head, the silk thread has no connection with them.

Based on the analysis of the current situation, it may be because the strange insects in those residual limbs had already left or died long after the medicine man was dismembered, so it is difficult for a clever woman in the "Insect Orb" to cook without rice.

at the same time.

"Wu Taishi, look quickly, there are strange insects coming out of this head!"

Hua Tuo suddenly pointed at the head of the medicine man in front of him and cried out.

At this moment, more than a dozen strange insects wriggled out of the soft tissue cut by Hua Tuo on the medicine man's head, and soon left the head and fell on the sackcloth under the head.

These dozen or so strange insects crawled in the same direction as Wu Liang, but when they reached the barrier Wu Liang set up with refined salt, they all stopped as if they sensed the danger, and even stood one by one as if standing in line. It seems to be lined up in a row.

"This……"

Hua Tuo couldn't understand more and more.

But Wu Liang's expression was very indifferent, because he knew very well that it was he who used his mind to order these strange insects to stop and line up, and these strange insects perfectly carried out his order.

This feeling is very mysterious.

Wu Liang felt like a Zerg leader at the moment.

And the silk thread emitted after the "worm beads" merged with his consciousness is like the pheromone that transmits information between the insects. His thoughts are the thoughts of all the insects connected with him. The worms are his hands, his feet, his fine hair, and a part of his body.

Wu Liang immediately stepped forward, took off his gloves and put his hands next to the dozen or so strange insects lined up, and then moved his mind slightly.

The strange insects immediately turned to the right together, and then crawled unhurriedly towards his hand in a neat row, followed his middle finger to avoid hurting his skin, and finally stopped in a row again. On Wu Liang's index finger, they all turned to face him as if in a military parade.

"..."

This time, not only Hua Tuo, but also everyone in the Huan army were shocked.

Although this wonderful scene has nothing to do with magnificence, it is enough to shock everyone. Is there anything more miraculous than this in the world?

and……

Someone has already realized the horror of this ability.

This kind of thin and small insects is probably hard for ordinary people to notice, but now Wu Liang can control the insects to such an extent, if he intends to harm people, can he also do it without anyone noticing?
In this way, who in the world can compete with Wu Liang?
Wu Liang actually thought of this, but whether he could do this still needs to be further verified. At this moment, he mainly wanted to find out the relationship between this strange insect and the scorpion, as well as the actual function of this strange insect.

Looking at the neatly arranged strange insects on the index finger, he pondered for a moment.

Wu Liang suddenly turned his head to look at the big dog standing behind the Huan army.

"correct!"

Wu Liang suddenly woke up.

Now there are worms in the body of the big dog, which is a strange worm that is suspected to be a bone-eating worm.

But now that Wu Liang has recognized the "Insect Orb" as the owner, he can then get in touch with these strange insects hidden in the medicine man's body, but it has no effect on the insects in the big dog's body.

Does this explain some problems?
Although Wu Liang has not experimented with the gnats in the Qiai cemetery yet, since it has been proved that the witch Hu did not lie about this matter, he must now be able to control those gnats as he controls this monster of.

And those strange insects that are suspected to be bone-eating worms are helpless...

That is to say, "worm beads" are not effective for all insects, but only for specific insects.

It is inferred from this.

Could it be that the worm and the strange worm in front of me really belong to the same kind?
Thinking of this, Wu Liang looked at the eyeball again... The eyeball can also affect this kind of strange insect, so can it be used by humans like the "worm bead"?

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately put this idea into action.

He cut his finger again and dripped a drop of blood on the eyeball.

But it was disappointing.

After the blood dripped on the eyeball, it was not immediately sucked in in an almost greedy way like it was dripping on the "worm bead", but slid down directly like it was dripping on an ordinary glass ball. go down.

From this point of view, although this eyeball is also a magic weapon with breath, it is obviously not the same thing as the "worm bead". At least the method of recognizing the owner by dripping blood will not have any effect on it.

and so……

At this moment, Wu Liang still didn't have a clear understanding of this strange insect, but only suspected that this strange insect might have the same ancestor as the gnat.

The gnats are obviously specially bred to harm people.

So what about this monster?
It's really hard to say...

Wu Liang always felt that since this place is the holy mountain of doctors and the inheritance place of the "Bian Que" organization, and the "Bian Que" organization was the first to propose medical ethics, then there should be no harmful things here.

Just like what Hua Tuo said before, even if those medicine men stayed here, it was definitely not to kill people, but to expel people who strayed into this place, so that no one would be injured by rolling landmines that appeared at any time.

If such a "Bian Que" organization finds out that this kind of strange insect is harmful to people, how can it make it stay?
Also.

Judging from the anatomy of these medicine people, although this strange insect lays eggs in the human body, it always swims along the meridians of the human body, and there is no phenomenon of feeding on human tissue, although this does not prove that this strange insect Insects are harmless to humans, but at least they should be a kind of parasite that can live in symbiosis with humans...

and many more!

Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly realized another problem!
The meridian is a unique medical discovery of traditional Chinese medicine, and this discovery has stumped many medical workers even in the later generations with extremely sophisticated medical instruments, because the meridian is not like blood vessels and nerves. Although it is all over the human body, it is not a clear so that a group of medical workers in later generations studied it for many years and dissected countless corpses, but they could not find traces of meridians.

So it was not until the 90s of the [-]th century that a medical professor discovered some complex tissues mainly composed of connective tissue through the method of inverting the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, and believed that this is where the meridians of the human body are located...

This statement has been supported and recognized by the medical community in later generations.

But is this the truth?
Wu Liang thinks not necessarily, after all, it is just an industrialized research method to search for differences through reverse derivation, and it does not touch the essence of meridians at all.

How can you pretend to understand if you haven't really touched the essence?

And then again.

After so many years of research in the medical world of later generations, they can only infer the existence of meridians through the meridian map, so how did the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty discover the meridians?
You must know that the concept of "meridian" has appeared almost at the same time as the civilization of the Celestial Dynasty!

"..."

Wu Liang unconsciously looked at the strange insects on his fingers, and then at the small holes on Yaoren's soft tissue where these strange insects could swim.

Hua Tuo has already verified that the paths of those small holes coincide with the meridians of the human body.

And the earliest origin of this "holy mountain" can be traced back to Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Yellow Emperor period.

Shouldn't...

A flash of light flashed in Wu Liang's mind.

Is it possible that the discovery of the "meridian" originated from this strange insect? !
At first, this strange insect was a kind of parasite symbiotic with human beings, but the doctor discovered this strange insect in the process of treating patients, and at the same time discovered the path of the strange insect walking in the human body.

As for what kind of symbiotic relationship is it?
Wu Liang is more inclined to mutual benefit, just like rhinoceros and rhinoceros bird, crocodile and toothpick bird, this kind of strange insect swims in the meridian of human body, can play a role in dredging meridian, so that the human body can reduce the pain caused by the blockage of meridian At the same time, part of the body fluids of the human body will also flow through these small holes, and part of the body fluids are the nutrients of the strange insects.

But what Wu Liang can be sure of is that no matter whether it is a person of the Eastern Han Dynasty or a person of later generations, there must be no such strange insect in his body.

Did it go extinct for some unknown reason?
But as far as Wu Liang knows, if one of the two species in this symbiotic relationship becomes extinct, the other will be greatly affected, and it may even be symbiotic.

Why does this strange insect no longer exist, but humans don't seem to be affected in any way?

Wu Liang thought of a possibility - evolution!
Compared with most species that have ever existed on the earth, the evolution process of human species is relatively fast.

Australopithecus - Homo sapiens - Homo erectus - Homo sapiens - Late Homo sapiens...

Especially in the stage of late Homo sapiens, humans learned to use fire and began to eat cooked food and cooked water, which made humans different from other mammals. At the same time, with the change of diet, the life span of humans is also increasing. In the process, The human constitution must be undergoing rapid changes.

Is it because the human physique has become less and less suitable for the survival of this strange insect in the process of evolution, so it became extinct?

Maybe there is another possibility!
Eating cooked food and cooked water can help humans resist most bacteria, germs and parasites, which may also block the transmission of this strange insect. Over time, this strange insect may also gradually decrease.

Human beings continued, but unknowingly abandoned a symbiotic parasite that helped humans clear their meridians...

Under such circumstances, humans without the parasites of strange insects gradually developed diseases caused by blockage of meridians. Doctors began to search for the root of unknown diseases and seek ways to relieve them.

By comparing different human beings, doctors gradually discovered this symbiotic parasite and the migratory path of the parasite.

And on this basis, through further research and observation of this strange insect, some principles related to "meridians" have been discovered, such as where the meridian is blocked, which part of the human body will cause pain, and another example is pressing or acupuncture. Each acupuncture point can link the pain of which part...

After such a long period of time, the doctor finally drew a complete map of the eight meridians and researched theories related to it, and has been able to replace the role of this strange insect in his own way.

Since then, this parasite that coexists with humans can really be completely extinct!
