Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 847 Entering the Pit (4000)

Hua Tuo and the others in the Huan army naturally didn't know what Wu Liang was thinking, but seeing him frowning at times and seeming to realize something at other times, they couldn't easily disturb him, so they could only quietly stand aside and wait.

After a long time.

Wu Liang finally came to his senses.

In fact, Wu Liang already has two guesses about the process of discovering the "Eight Meridians of Extraordinary Meridians":
One is Vipassana theory. Although Wu Liang has not yet met a practitioner who can reach the realm of Vipassana, and he himself is far from reaching that realm, there are indeed some ancient books, especially those related to Taoism, that mention it. The word "inner view", and in the process of "inner view", human beings have the opportunity to discover the existence of the "extraordinary meridians" by observing the flow of energy and body fluids in the body;

The second is the symbiotic parasite theory that is now emerging...

In comparison, the "symbiotic parasite theory" is naturally more scientific.

After all, this worm, this cave, this holy mountain of healers, and the period of the Yellow Emperor belonged to the late Homo sapiens period when humans began to be familiar with and use fire... These can more or less provide some support for Wu Liang's speculation.

However, the legendary "Vipassana" lacks a lot of tangible support and evidence.

However, the evidence found so far is far from enough to establish the "symbiotic parasite theory", so this speculation is still speculation unless more direct evidence is found.

"Wu Taishi, what new discoveries have you made?"

Seeing Wu Liang come back to his senses, Hua Tuo immediately approached him curiously and asked.

"not yet."

Wu Liang didn't confide in his speculations, but he still briefly explained to Hua Tuo about the "worm bead": "This thing is called a 'worm bead', and it is said that it is one of the orbs under Lilong's jaw. Some bugs have certain effects, but I can't fully explain the specific effects for the time being."

"Then the actions of these monsters were controlled by Wu Taishi?"

Hua Tuo went straight to the topic.

"indeed so."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

"This……"

Hua Tuo looked at Wu Liang with more complicated eyes, but he has lived most of his life, and he has seen countless people in the process of practicing medicine, and his emotional intelligence is naturally not bad. After thinking for a while, he finally did not continue to ask the bottom line. He just smiled and said, "From this point of view, there should be no need to continue dissecting the head, right?"

After all, those strange insects crawled out of his head just now in front of his face. If all these were the result of Wu Liang's manipulation, then he must be able to feel the existence of these strange insects.

"I think that now that we have reached this point, Miracle Doctor Hua can continue to dissect it. Even without these strange insects, Miracle Doctor Hua can further inspect the condition of the medicinal man's skull, and maybe there will be other discoveries."

Wu Liang said, "Actually, there are still many aspects about this medicine man that we haven't understood, such as the method and process of making the medicine man, which can make the medicine man so well preserved. This must be an extremely clever anti-corrosion method. For example, whether the brain tissue of Yaoren is also well preserved like other soft tissues, these are directions worthy of research."

"What Wu Taishi said is very true, but I am superficial..."

Hua Tuo finally nodded his head as if he realized something when he heard the words, and took up the knife again to further disassemble the medicine man's head in front of him.

……

Soon after.

The medicine man's head had been completely separated, and the skull was also separated one by one by Hua Tuo through the bone seams, and finally turned into complete bones one by one and placed together one by one.

As for Yaoren's brain tissue, it was also well preserved.

Under Hua Tuo's exquisite sword technique, Yaoren's brain tissue was completely separated, and Hua Tuo even pulled it into a strip like intestines and placed it in front of everyone.

"Wu Taishi, I have carefully observed that the brain tissue of this medicine man has not found any pathological changes, and there is no small hole for the strange insect to enter and exit. Therefore, I think that although the strange insect is parasitic on the human in the body, but its scope of activity is actually limited to the eight extraordinary meridians, and it will not easily enter other organs."

Hua Tuo explained the autopsy results to Wu Liang very rigorously, waiting for Wu Liang to make a judgment.

In fact, even Hua Tuo himself didn't realize it. Unknowingly, he had followed Wu Liang's lead and completely forgot that he was the one who was called to accept the inheritance.

"Well, in this way, even if this strange insect is harmful to the human body, the harm is very limited?"

Wu Liang murmured.

This conclusion also verifies the "symbiosis theory" he speculated before. The brain tissue and internal organs of the human body are extremely important. Any foreign matter entering or causing even a little damage may cause irreversible serious damage , never endangered human life.

As far as Wu Liang knows, most of the parasites discovered in later generations do not have such strange martial arts ethics. As long as they enter the human body, they will eat and reproduce in a destructive way. It will never let go of the place it enters, completely disregarding the life and death of people.

Hua Tuo shook his head again, and expressed his opinion: "Not necessarily, Wu Taishi should know that there are 36 death points distributed in the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body, and this kind of strange insect wanders among them. Achilles heel is not good, and it can also cause pain and kill people unconsciously."

and many more!

Hua Tuo's words instantly woke Wu Liang up.

Now that he has controlled these monsters, is it understandable that he can do whatever he wants to other people?
After all, this kind of strange worm is very small, and it is extremely difficult to be found. If he unknowingly sends this kind of strange worm into someone else's body, after the little worm has opened up the strange meridians in the other person's body, it will be difficult to detect. When there is nothing to do, it can clear the meridians of the person concerned and relieve the pain, but as long as he has a thought, this kind of worm can also attack the dead point of the person immediately, or even gather at the dead point of the person to block the meridians, which can bring pain to the other party. Not a small injury.

If so, this thing is much more powerful than the life and death talisman of Tianshan Child Elder in the later martial arts novels...

However, this still needs to be verified.

As he speculated before, the reason why there are no such strange insects in the human body now is very likely because with the evolution of human beings, the internal conditions of the human body are no longer suitable for the survival of such strange insects. If so, his This kind of assumption can only harm people in a short period of time. After a little longer, this kind of strange insect will die naturally because it cannot adapt to the current human environment.

If so.

It is very difficult for this kind of strange insects to continue to reproduce, and now Wu Liang has only a few eggs and strange insects in his hand, and he doesn't know how to feed them. In this case, they may all die soon, which is impossible Putting it into use...

Wait a second!
Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly remembered something.

Bugs!

Except for the color and body shape, the worm looks very similar to this strange worm, and both of them can be manipulated by the "worm beads", which makes people wonder if they are the same kind, but they have also undergone a certain degree of evolution?

and also.

Wu Liang didn't doubt the wisdom of the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty. People like this kind of people who don't have much ambition can have such harmful ideas just now, so if it is replaced by some ambitious people, it is impossible to just have ideas, but Put this thought into action in no time!
If someone tried to raise this kind of strange insects to realize their ambitions, then it would be necessary to conduct a lot of experiments, even with living human beings for experiments.

In the process of raising gnats.

Naturally, you will encounter difficulties that Wu Liang just thought of, and you may also encounter many difficulties that Wu Liang never thought of. In order to solve these difficulties, you need to make more attempts.

Just like the alchemists of the Celestial Dynasty undoubtedly discovered black powder in the process of alchemy.

In order to solve the difficulties encountered in the process of raising gnats, other things may be created in the future, such as gnats and worms that only harm people...

And as far as Wu Liang knew.

There should be relevant records of such things as qi art and voodoo art in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but this holy mountain of doctors can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor's time.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang nodded to Hua Tuo and said: "What Doctor Hua said is very true. Medical skills have two sides. If they are mastered by doctors who pay attention to medical ethics, they are the skills of living people. become a murderous art."

"Exactly, Wu Taishi has a high opinion."

Hua Tuo thought it was true.

……

At this moment, the medicine man has completed the dissection work.

Although Hua Tuo never solved the method of making this medicine man, but the harvest is not small.

Wu Liang immediately ordered the people in the Huan army to collect the medicine man and bury it underground again, and then returned to the previous hut with Hua Tuo.

In this way, when we came to a distance of about ten feet from the hut.

Immediately, many invisible silk threads scattered from the "worm bead". The purpose of these silk threads was very clear, pointing directly at Hua Tuo's hut.

To be precise, it should be the medicine man in that hut.

Wu Liang quickly sensed the strange insects inside the medicine man through these silk threads. Their size was the same as the ones he saw just now, but the number was much more, at least hundreds of them, and there were hundreds more of them. Unhatched eggs.

And these strange insects are not only distributed in the medicine man's head, but also in the limbs and abdominal cavity. At this moment, these strange insects seem to be performing their own duties, wandering around the medicine man at a leisurely pace. in the meridian.

"This medicine man does have a lot of research value. Later, he can find a way to deceive Hua Tuo..."

Wu Liang was skeptical in his heart, but he said to Hua Tuo: "Doctor Hua, you have been in this secret realm for a while, you should have explored it all before, right?"

"To be honest, I have climbed to the top of this holy mountain, and I have also descended to the bottom of this tiankeng. Unfortunately, so far I have not found any place that I have to study, so I have to build a stone house here to stay temporarily."

Hua Tuo smiled wryly.

"Oh? I was looking into the tiankeng over there just now, and vaguely saw something at the bottom of the tiankeng. Since Doctor Hua has been down to the bottom of the tiankeng, he should know what those things are?"

Wu Liang asked along the way.

"It's just some broken pottery, and it's all empty pottery, with nothing in it."

Hua Tuo said with some disappointment.

"Is it possible that there was something there, but someone took it?"

Wu Liang pondered, "Since this secret place is a holy mountain for doctors, and there are various signs that many people have been here before, some of them are indeed doctors who have been recruited by the holy mountain, and some of them don't know the magic tricks. Many ordinary people died here, and this tiankeng is clearly exposed outside, so it is reasonable for someone to come here and take some things away."

"It's not impossible, but there are indeed only some broken clay pots left underneath."

Hua Tuo nodded and said.

"Then what about the top of the holy mountain?"

Wu Liang looked up at the not-so-high holy mountain again. Its most peculiar part should be almost entirely composed of basalt that is suspected to have strong magnetism.

"Although there are some dwarf trees at the foot of the mountain and on the side of the mountain, it looks lush and green, but the top of the mountain is bare. I also found nothing."

Hua Tuo said.

"It was mentioned in the biography of the Qinyue people that he studied under Changsang Jun and passed on his medical skills and forbidden prescriptions. At the same time, there was also a detail of drinking the 'water from the upper pool'. Since then, he has obtained superb prescription skills."

Wu Liang analyzed, "If this biography is not deliberately misleading us, then the 'water from the upper pool' that the people of Qin and Yue drank should probably be the water in the stone basin on the top of the holy mountain. Anything related to this?"

"No, there is indeed nothing on the top of the holy mountain."

Hua Tuo continued to shake his head and said.

"..."

Wu Liang finally stopped asking.

He is now unable to determine whether the broken pottery in the tiankeng was destroyed by humans later, whether there was something in it but was taken away by someone, and at the same time, he cannot determine whether there is a stone basin on the top of the holy mountain. It disappeared only after being destroyed by human beings.

However, this did not prevent him from doing a field trip.

After so pondering for a moment.

"Doctor Hua, I plan to go into the Tiankeng for investigation, would you like to go with me?"

Wu Liang looked at Hua Tuo again and asked.

He hoped to bring Hua Tuo with him, because the records in the history books showed that even without Wu Liang's participation, Hua Tuo would definitely be able to unlock the secrets of the Holy Mountain and remove the strange poison from his body... just like Zuo Ci back then.

That's why Wu Liang shared the information he got with Hua Tuo so generously, the purpose was only to provide some help to Hua Tuo, so as to speed up the process of detoxification.

"It's my wish to be able to walk with Wu Taishi!"

Hua Tuo had already respected Wu Liang very much at this moment, and said happily immediately.

In this way, everyone immediately took action.

The soldiers of the Tuan army and Yu Ji, who had bad legs and feet, were left on the tiankeng. With the boulders and Hua Tuo's hut as shelters, there was no need to worry about the threat of rolling mines.

Under the leadership of Hua Tuo, Wu Liang and others took a relatively easy path and soon came to the bottom of the Tiankeng.
