The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 139 Gentian Sand

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"What is the secret in your book? It can change your temperament drastically, and you will not hesitate to give up so many things that are worth cherishing..." Ma Di shook his head and sighed, while looking at Zhou Zheng.

A sad expression appeared on Zhou Zheng's face again, and he said lightly: "Teacher, if the secret is revealed, it is not a secret. Unless...the people who should not know the secret will die. There are five of you here, five Is it worth exchanging human life for a secret?"

Zhou Zheng's tone was calm, but it sounded intimidating, as if the life and death of the five of us were in his hands alone, and he could take our lives with just a casual move of his finger.

Looking at those poisonous insects all over the ground, I know that Zhou Zheng's confidence is well-founded.

Ma Di hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked at me, obviously asking for my opinion.I nodded at him, and he looked at Liang Yue and Xing Mo, and they both nodded in unison.Ma Di looked at the third uncle again, who was still sitting there cross-legged, as if he had fallen asleep, and remained indifferent to everything that happened on the court.

According to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, we don't need to seek the opinion of the third uncle.

I guess everyone thinks so, this secret is on Zhou Zheng's lips, and this secret may be related to the origin and direction of the entire incident in Nanliu Village.Even if we don't ask this secret, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of this hole in today's situation.

Seeing that we had reached an agreement, Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Since you are not afraid of death, then I will tell you this secret. After I got the cheat book from my ancestors, I found the map of Mount Fuyang. I thought that my ancestors would leave me a fortune, maybe there would be a treasure waiting for me to dig. Who knew that after I studied and understood the book, I discovered that there are actually many treasures in nature, which are more valuable than real treasures. Gold and silver are more precious and more valuable. Because real gold and silver have a price after all, but the treasures of nature are priceless. For example... Bird Spirit Pill, and... Longdansha."

"Gentian sand?" We heard another novel thing from Zhou Zheng's mouth, and we couldn't help but increase our curiosity.

Zhou Zhengze continued: "Longdansha, like Bird Spirit Pill, has an extremely complicated formation process. It's just that the name sounds good. It is said to be gentian, but it actually comes from the body of a worm. We know that worms are the same as birds, and their natural lifespan is the same as birds. No one knows how long it is. Insects have more natural enemies, and most of them will die unexpectedly. Molluscs do not have gallbladders in their bodies, but these worms that die unexpectedly will produce a special substance in their bodies, and The bile of other animals is similar, but this substance is solid, called worm sand. This kind of worm sand can detoxify hundreds of poisons, but it must be taken out of the worm in time, otherwise it will decompose within 1 minute,"

Having said that, I glanced at Ma Di.We were poisoned by the sand wolf worm, and he took something from the worm's body and took it to detoxify.Is that thing the so-called insect sand?

In all likelihood, this is the case, but Ma Di remained calm and was listening intently to Zhou Zheng's narration, so we don't need to rush to ask.

"Actually, during the period of following the teacher, the teacher has been studying how to preserve this kind of insect sand for a long time. If it can be successful, it will be a discovery that attracts worldwide attention. But the teacher probably also Not much progress..."

Ma Di frowned, and asked, "So, you have researched it?"

Zhou Zheng smiled, nodded and said: "I remember the teacher often said a word to us, that is, never underestimate the wisdom of our ancestors, the things handed down by our ancestors are treasures in many fields. I remember the teacher's words I also take it seriously. In the book left by Zou Baizu, there are detailed records on how to obtain this kind of insect sand."

"Oh? Sure enough, there is a way to obtain worm sand." Ma Di's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I know the teacher can't wait, don't worry, listen to the students slowly. It is recorded in the book that centipedes are dead but not stiff. If a large number of poisonous insects die and are buried in the soil, the body will A large amount of toxins will be produced. If these toxins are emitted, it will be the air of insect stiffness. If people smell them, their bodies will change. If these toxins are dispersed in the soil, it will ensure that the insect sand produced by the insect body will be preserved forever But once this kind of insect sand leaves the soil, it will still decompose."

Ma Di said: "Isn't this still impossible to preserve? You can't take the soil to get insect sand, right?"

Zhou Zheng waved his hand: "Teacher, you are too impatient, I haven't finished yet. Do you remember our subject?"

"Earth dragon?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "That's right, that's not right. Earth Jiao is just a temporary name given by the teacher? Actually, this kind of creature..."

As he spoke, Zhou Zheng put his hand into his bosom, and unexpectedly grabbed out a strange worm.The worm twisted its body in Zhou Zheng's hands. It had a snake-like round head and a slender tail, but there were many limbs distributed on its body, and it also had many densely packed thin feet.Isn't this the earth dragon in the picture that Ma Su showed me?

The worm was not big in size, only more than 20 centimeters in length.The triangular head turned around, and snake-like letters spit out from its mouth.Looking at it makes people get goosebumps.

Zhou Zheng went on to say: "Actually, this kind of creature is called a mirage. It is not a creature inherited from ancient times, but a product that was cultivated by nature by chance and coincidence. The formation of a mirage requires the cooperation of many conditions. For example, we need a good climate, good soil, even suitable geomantic omen, and a place with strong yin energy. The Yagu where we are located is such a place. At that time, a large number of insect corpses were buried in the ground, and this is exactly The best food for a golden-threaded earthsnake. The golden-threaded earthworm swallowed a centipede. The centipede is dead but not stiff. It will gradually wake up and revive in the belly of the earthworm. After two years of gestation, the two creatures will The two merged into one to form a new species called earth mirage. Earth mirage will swallow insect sand in the ground. The insect sand gathers less and becomes more, and the sand gathers into a tower. It condenses in the body of the earth mirage, and the earth mirage will spit it out after a few years. One thing, this thing is gentian sand.”

After listening to Zhou Zheng's narration, I realized that the creature that Ma Su and the others came to look for was not a land dragon, but a soil mirage.Moreover, this mirage is a necessary link in the formation of gentian sand.

Ma Di asked: "So you came last time to look for mirage and gentian sand? Why didn't you come alone, but with us?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "No. I was also caught off guard on that topic. Because no one in the world knows this secret. As soon as I saw the pictures and photos, I knew it was a mirage. But I can't stop us from coming to Mt. No."

Ma Di nodded: "So, you want to keep this secret secret. You can only take some measures to interrupt the research on this subject."
