The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 137
The secret is that although there are very few birds that can live to their natural death, it is not impossible.Every year, some birds know that their lifespan is approaching, and they will have a strange behavior.

These dying birds, knowing that their lifespan is over, will quietly search for a dead tree, find the highest branch, and perch on the branch, waiting for the coming of death.

This kind of bird will produce an invisible aura in its body, and this aura will make other creatures automatically avoid it, and will not disturb it until it dies.

During the time when the bird is waiting to die, no matter whether it is wind, rain, thunder, lightning, or severe cold and heat, it will not move half a step.Its body will secrete a kind of bloody saliva every day, and spit it on the branches it inhabits.

This period of time can be as long as more than a month, and as short as about a week.

And the body of the bird will also change over time.

Its feathers will gradually fall off and fly away with the wind.Its body is also gradually weathered, until when it dies, the bird's body will become stiff and fall from the branches.

Where the birds inhabit, only the blood-colored saliva that the birds spit out from crying blood every day is left, which has condensed into balls and stuck to the branches.

And after the bird's body falls, a new leaf will grow on the branch it is standing on.There is only this new leaf in the whole dead tree.This is because, before the bird died, in order to thank the branch for giving it the last habitat before it died, it gave the last bit of aura in its life to the branch.

This new leaf gradually grows, wrapping the ball of bloody saliva that the bird spits out every day, eventually forming a bead the size of a glass ball.This kind of bead is called bird spirit pill.

The formation of this bird spirit pill is a bit like a bird's nest, which is a nest built by swiftlets of the swift family Swiftlet family and many kinds of swallows of the same species with condensation of saliva and down feathers, etc., which is extremely precious.

And this bird panacea is even more precious, because no one knows which dead tree the bird will find before it dies.After the sparrow pill was formed, it was either eaten by other birds, or it was blown off by the wind and fell into dust.Therefore, there are very few people who can get the Bird Spirit Pill, and there are even fewer people in the world who know this secret.

And this kind of dead tree used by birds will attract more birds because it absorbs the aura of birds.Over time, the tree will also become full of aura.

The dead tree moved by Qin Wuyu, the king of birds, played this role.

The white-headed turtledove beside Qin Wuyu had reached the end of its lifespan, and was standing on the branch of this dead tree waiting to die.

After the death of the white-headed turtledove, the branches bloomed with new leaves, which were wrapped in blood-colored saliva, which also formed the bird spirit pill.

More and more dying birds flew over, causing the dead tree to frequently bloom new leaves and form sparrow pills frequently.The dead tree absorbed the purification of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth should have been able to be revived.But the dead tree will spread the spiritual energy around through the roots, suppressing the resentment of the dead bones underground and the stiffness of the insect corpses.A balanced situation has been formed.

But in recent years, because Yagu has been used as the place where the cliff burial is performed, it has been full of yin.The yin qi on the ground and the insect-stiff qi underground complement each other and become stronger and stronger.

And that dead old tree is no longer suitable as the last habitat for birds, and its aura is getting less and less.Until a hollow is formed in the middle of the trunk, leading directly to the underground burrow.

Zhou Zheng finished talking about these in a calm manner, which indeed solved many mysteries for us.

Ma Su stared at Zhou Zheng and asked, "How do you know these things?"

Zhou Zheng lazily stretched his waist and said, "Teacher, in fact, my ancestor's surname is Zou, not Zhou."

"Zou? Insect King Zou Baizu...you are him..."

"That's right. I am the descendant of Zou Baizu, the king of insects. I know these things from a book handed down from my ancestors, and there is also a map in that book, which shows the exact location of Yagu, saying Zou Baizu, the insect king back then, was buried in Yagu. And...he is not dead yet..."

What Zhou Zheng said surprised us all.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng turned out to be a descendant of Zou Baizu, the king of insects.Seeing Zhou Zheng's attire, I suddenly turned around and glanced at the person standing on the altar.So, could this person be Zou Baizu, the insect king?he is not dead?how is this possible?

Seeing our surprised expressions, Zhou Zheng laughed loudly: "Yes, you read that right. He is my ancestor, Zou Baizu. I took great pains to find this place. Although the location of Yagu is marked on the map, it is not Not very detailed, and many place names have been changed now. I only know that it is in Fuyang Mountain. In that book, there are also many introductions to insects, including many rare ancient insects that have existed since ancient times. Insect King Zou Although Baizu has been buried underground, his aura is still there, and these rare ancient insects will gather at the place where he is buried. So if you find these ancient insects, you will find Zou Baizu."

Ma Di continued to analyze: "So, when you chose paleontology from other disciplines, after you were admitted to graduate school, you switched to my school, in order to learn more about these ancient insects, and then find the burial place of Zou Baizu. "

Zhou Zheng nodded: "That's right. But at that time, I also became very interested in insects after reading the books handed down by my ancestors. I joined you and wanted to learn more from you. As for whether I can find Zou Baizu , I didn't have any hope. After all, after he and Qin Wuyu were defeated, he thought that there was no face in the world, so he changed his surname to Zhou. And later, it was he who found someone to play tricks in Nanliu Village, and separated the villagers and Qin Wuyu. After all, he It is the king of insects. It is easy for him to make the villagers sick and recover. His practice has even injured hundreds of people in the village. I do not agree with this kind of behavior. So in my opinion, My surname is Zhou, his surname is Zou, and there is no necessary connection between the two of us."

"Then... Then why were you so persistent? Didn't you also become mad and even killed Wen Youyou? What's the difference between your animal behavior and Zou Baizu's? It's just that the current social environment prevents you from killing Wen Youyou. It’s just a lot of people. If you do this, it’s not as good as the brainless and thinking bugs you study.” Ma Di angrily accused Zhou Zheng.

Ma Su's words were not in a good tone.I think this Ma Di is a good teacher, and this may be the most vicious thing he can say.

I'm also very afraid that Zhou Zheng will become angry and order those poisonous insects to attack us.

But Zhou Zheng didn't seem to take it seriously.He still maintained a relaxed expression, without the slightest anger.

In fact, in my opinion, such Zhou Zheng is even more terrifying.

He is not in a hurry or annoyed, probably because he has a plan in mind.Although there are five of us here, he is not afraid of us running away.He even admitted to killing Wen Youyou, obviously it is impossible for us to get out alive.

With a joking expression on his face, Zhou Zheng asked Ma Su, "Teacher, do you know what I dislike most about you?"
