Mutated Tao Chapter 19: Superstition
Hearing what Li Huowang said, Bai Lingmiao opened his eyes wide and said, "Yes, yes, my grandfather also told me not to run outside the village. People peeled the skin and put on dog skin as a dog to train them. Because the child is smart, they can use this dog that understands human language to perform acrobatics in the street. The child will be miserable, because the dog skin is stuck to the body I will never grow up again."
Frowning slightly, Li Huowang shook his head, "No, I'm not talking about stories about these old ladies scaring their grandchildren, I'm talking about something like Mr. You."
"Master You like that? Let me think about it..." Bai Lingmiao frowned slightly and began to think. "The stories my grandfather usually tells are very messy, but most of them are about worms eating people in the mountains and so on. There are really very few species of Mr. You."
"Who told you the story of Grandpa You?"
Bai Lingmiao's eyes widened innocently, "Of course my grandfather told him, and then my grandfather told me, and I will tell my grandson in the future."
Li Huowang scratched his head, co-authoring this story is still passed down from his ancestors, he seemed to have miscalculated.
"Brother Li, I know one." A frail young man leaning against the wall and listening suddenly said.
This person's joints are deformed, one shoulder is high and the other is low, and his whole body is very twisted. Even in the material room, he can be regarded as relatively "outstanding appearance".
"Brother Li, my surname is Zhao, and I'm a five-year-old at home. Just call me Zhao Wu."
It doesn't matter who says it, Li Huowang walked up to him and said, "Okay, you say it."
Zhao Wu looked around, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The evil thing you mentioned, I heard from the older generation that there was a kind, and that thing was called grandma."
"Great grandma? What does it look like?" Li Huowang quickly searched in his mind, but couldn't find any pictures related to it. Guessing from the literal meaning, there was no clue at all.
"Shh~ Brother Li, don't be so loud, keep your voice down, this thing is very evil, I heard that, grandma will hear it, if you often say something, they will come to you!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Huowang regained his energy.
"I heard from my cousin that it looks different in front of everyone, some are like ghosts with long ears, some are old people who have passed away, but the only similarity is that anyone who stays with them After a while, those people will also become grandmas!"
Li Huowang stroked his chin thoughtfully. "This place is really strange, there are all kinds of inexplicable things, okay, is there anything else?"
"Yes, there is also the in-law fish, this thing is also evil..."
From Zhao Wu, Li Huowang knew a lot of strange terms, and these are the materials he will put into the elixir.
"You really know a lot, thank you, this information is helpful to me." Only talking about the highly poisonous pill alone, Dan Yangzi might be able to detect it, but adding these things that even he can't distinguish , the reliability is much higher.
What you want is not to understand, as long as you don't understand anything, it will appear advanced.
Hearing what Li Huowang said, Zhao Shi smiled happily. "I heard this from my uncle. He is a peddler. He has been everywhere and knows a lot."
"Okay, it's almost time, I'm going back, you wait quietly for my news." Li Huowang took a deep breath, stood up and walked out.
Just two steps away, a tall figure of at least 1.9 meters stood in front of him. "I, I, I..."
Li Huowang knew the bald head in front of him. The people in the material room called him a fool, the one with cross-eyed and drooling.
It is not necessarily accurate to say that he is a complete fool. He is just stuttering, unresponsive and mentally retarded. "I know it too!"
Li Huowang sighed, stretched out his hand to pat his bald head, turned around and walked towards the door.
Ask a fool, it's better to just make it up yourself.
Early the next morning, Li Huowang was called to his residence by Dan Yangzi. "I have almost practiced the internal and external Zhoutian exercises you mentioned. Please tell me the elixir that you take with the exercises."
"Yes, master." Li Huowang walked to the stone slab and began to observe again pretendingly. "Hmm... Grandma has two hearts and refines its essence? Master, what does this mean?"
Dan Yangzi wandered back and forth in the house with a cloudy expression, muttering to himself: "Is that so? The way to become a fairy actually needs this kind of evil?"
"Master, what is Grandma?"
"Don't worry about it, just keep talking."
"One in-law fish, take its gills, soak in arsenic for two taels..."
What he learned from Zhao Wu was combined with Li Huowang's modern knowledge, and finally mixed with the energy he hadn't slept all night, and he softly formulated a systematic way to become a fairy in his mouth.
After Li Huowang finished talking about everything he had made up, he was very excited and muttered to himself.
However, when he identified it carefully, he felt very astonished.
"Yes, it can't be wrong, the arsenic is colder, and it must be neutralized by hot and dry things like in-laws and fish. Wonderful! And this is actually using grandma to enter the alchemy, why didn't I think of it before, since people can enter the alchemy Pills, why can't these evil things enter the pills?" This guy actually started to figure out the balance of the medicinal properties of the pills.
Li Huowang discovered that when Dan Yangzi is smart, he is very smart, but when he is ignorant, he is really ignorant. He doesn't believe in anyone, he only believes in what he can't draw up in his heart.
If there is a word to express it, it is superstition. In a world without gods and ghosts, superstition in ghosts and gods represents ignorance, but in a world with gods and ghosts, superstition is still ignorance, but the superstition is different.
At this moment, Dan Yangzi reached into his cuff with his right hand and lifted it, a copper bell with a corner missing appeared in his hand, it was the kind of bell used to manipulate zombies that he saw in zombie movies.
As he began to shake vigorously, the ear-piercing bell rang instantly, and Li Huowang suddenly felt a splitting headache, and he instinctively covered his head and clenched his teeth.
This weird copper bell not only affected his hearing, but also affected his eyes.
Everything around began to twist and deform, and the whole world shook violently like an earthquake.
"What's going on? Danyangzi, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with me? Did he find out?"
Just when Li Huowang was thinking this way, he saw the corner of the table, the edge of Danyangzi's Taoist robe, and even the side of the book next to him. In the whole room, any corner between the edges that he saw seemed to be alive. With the twisting, it slowly condensed in front of Dan Yangzi.
It's hard to describe what this mass formed from the corners of the object looks like, but the only certainty is that it can be alive.
Li Huowang thought he was wrong, so he shook his head vigorously, but it turned out that it didn't shake, but after a while, the thing turned into two with Li Huowang's shaking.
