Chapter 312 The Immortal Meets the Dragon (7)

We went to the bird's nest to have a look, and there were a lot of gray bird feathers falling out of it. The nest was very big, with a diameter of one meter, and it was quite thick with red strips and some soft dead leaves.

The bird that flew out just now was too fast, and we didn't see what species it was, but its size was about the size of an ordinary mountain eagle. With that size, it is impossible to use such a large nest.

Xiao Qi patted the bird's nest and said: "This bird is quite good at enjoying itself. I built such a big nest for myself, at least four times its size? I really want to have a bed four times bigger than me." Ah, you can roll around on it."

I said: "Are you implying that the bed I gave you is too small? A 1.2-meter bed is almost enough." Xiao Qi gave me a sad look and said, "Not enough, it's so small, it's uncomfortable."

I felt uncomfortable from her eyes, so I said, "Yes, yes, I will change it for you when I go back, but you can't say that I changed it for you, just say that I changed it for you, otherwise other employees will think I'm biased, maybe you think I've set your unspoken rules."

Jin Le poured a basin of cold water on the side, and said: "You can hide the rules in a bed, you are too naive."

This kid, he doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't make fun of me for a day, doesn't he?As soon as I was about to push back, I saw that the kid had already circled to the back of the flesh statue, that is, the back of the olive-shaped stone chamber, where two dark holes could be seen, there should be 'ear chambers'.

Xiao Qi and I followed immediately, while Xu Kaiyi, the female doctor and Xiao Shen were watching from the outside room.

When we walked to the back, the sunlight could not penetrate, so we turned on the flashlight, turned on the light from left to right, and sure enough, we saw that there was an ear chamber on the left and right, which were larger than the outer chamber.The ear room on the left seems to be a study room. When the lights are turned on, you can see the shelves cut along the mountain wall.

But this side room is very messy, there is nothing on the shelves, half of the desk is rotten, and there are some garbage on the floor. I took a closer look and found a mineral water bottle.

Jin Le squatted down to pick up the mineral water bottle, looked at the production date, and found that the expiration date had not yet arrived, and the production time was last year.

He said: "It may be left by the developer."

Xiao Qi poked his waist and said: "You can't litter in the ancient ruins! Those people are really unqualified, we have to take the garbage away when we leave." Jin Le nodded and praised her: "Well, you are a character Noble girl, she followed an unreliable boss."

I didn't want to bother him, so I looked around in the cave and said, "This looks like a study... but I didn't see a single book."

Jin Le said: "There must have been books here before, but those are ancient books. The people in this village have known that many things in the village are antiques in the past two years. It is estimated that the old things here have already been taken out by the villagers."

He was right. When we went to the ear chamber on the right, it was also empty.

On the stone bed in the ear room, there is only a pile of rotten grass and quilts. In addition, the suitcases and other daily utensils that should have been there are all gone. On the floor of the stone room, there are some decayed wooden products, and the original The appearance is scattered in a mess, showing a situation that seems to have been ransacked.

It's probably the same as what Jin Le guessed, the old things left here, nine out of ten, have been taken away by those young villagers.When the three of us were walking out, we met Xu Kaiyi who was coming towards us. I asked him if he had discovered anything, and Xu Kaiyi said, "No, where are you?"

I said, "No, almost all the things here have been looted by the villagers, and there is nothing left."

Xu Kaiyi said: "Then let's go." In this fairy cave, except for a dried corpse... Oh, no, to be respectful, it should be a flesh-body fairy.

Except for a flesh-body fairy, there is only a piece of hanging red left.

Jin Le looked at the flesh body, and said: "These people don't know the goods, and this flesh body fairy is actually very valuable."

I said, "Didn't you say this is dried bacon? Why is it so valuable?"

Jin Le choked angrily, and said, "Are you ignorant again, aren't you? The value of everything in this world depends on supply and demand. If you need it, it's worth it. If you don't need it, even the best things are worthless. For us, this A flesh-body god is just a mummy, but for some superstitious people, this is a treasure." He seemed to be interested, so he told me about a flesh-body god, another folk saying.

The reason why Jin Le knew this was because of his professional relationship. Although he studied Western medicine, as long as it was related to medical skills, there were no taboos. Therefore, he had heard a lot of folk remedies and medical legends.

Take the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" as an example, there is a chapter on human medicine in it.

Plants can be used as medicine, animals can be used as medicine, even gold and stones can be used as medicine, and humans can naturally be used as medicine. If the human body has no medicinal properties at all, wouldn’t it be a waste?
In fact, there are many records in the chapter on human medicine in "Compendium of Materia Medica", and now only medicines such as human yellow and Ziheche remain, and more types of human medicine are because later generations think that human medicine is shocking. So it was deleted.

In folklore, the flesh body of immortals and the golden body of Buddhists are both extremely valuable human medicines, and a whole body of flesh and blood is a great tonic. There is even a saying that what you eat will cure you.

For example, if you are crippled, eat the meat from the legs of the immortals, and your legs and feet will recover; if you are blind, drink water from the eyeballs of the immortals, and you will see again.

Those of us who have received modern education may sound incredible now, but as the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are still many people who are superstitious about the way of human medicine.

Especially some rich people who are reluctant to die, but they are trying to buy human medicine secretly.

Among the several human medicines that are secretly circulated, the common one is Ziheche, which is the placenta; the more shocking one is 'Yuanyi Tongzi', which is the dead baby.

In ancient times, the conditions were backward, and the birth rate of women was very high, and it was very common for the fetus to die together with the adults during pregnancy. Some poor daughters-in-law, if half of the child was lost, or the child was stillborn, there were some problems. If there is a need, they will inquire in advance to buy fetuses, and there are even more frenzied people who exchange their children for food. The fetuses are born alive, and they are strangled to death before they take their first breath, and then they are sold to those in need.

It is said that this is done because the fetus is in the mother's body, using the fetal breath, the meridians all over the body are accessible, and the innate vitality is circulating. When eating Yuanyi boy, what it eats is this innate vitality.

After birth, when the baby breathes for the first time, the meridians on the body will be closed, and the innate vitality is stored in the kidneys for your own use. No matter how you eat at this time, you can’t eat the baby’s innate vitality into your body up.

And those rich people who are afraid of death bought Yuanyi boy who died without taking a breath, squeezed meconium, and ate whole stew soup.

In modern times, few people eat Yuanyi boy. After all, thinking about it makes you feel horrible and disgusting, but some deranged nobles value their own lives more than anything else. In order to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives, they dare to do anything. eat.

Jin Le said: "I heard that in the Guangdong area, there are still people who secretly buy Yuanyi Tongzi to eat, and the supply usually comes from small hospitals and small clinics." Xiao Qi wrinkled his face and said: "Stop talking, too disgusting."
