People in the world cannot climb to the sky or enter the earth, so they don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
People in the world have not seen people who fell off the Yin-Yang Bridge and still survived and reappeared, so they don't know that there are thousands of feet deep under the Yin-Yang Bridge, and there are streams and valleys deep under the Yin-Yang Bridge.
The stream is nameless and the valley is nameless. Leng Mei calls the valley Yin-Yang Valley after the Yin-Yang Bridge.
In the past year and a half, Leng Mei has set foot in a radius of more than a hundred miles. She was blocked by a cliff and trapped in a bamboo forest with no way out of the valley and no second living person.
In Leng Mei's view, Yin Yang Valley is as big as Baihua Island. She even suspects that the Baihua Island that the world sees is just the side of Yin Yang Valley that it is willing to show to the world. The most real world of Baihua Island is under the bridge, which is separated by the Yin Yang Bridge. It is not life and death, but two worlds, one is Baihua Island, which is bordering the secular world, and the other is the Yin and Yang Valley, which is isolated from the world.
Isolated from the world, there must be something different.
There are only spring and summer in the Yin and Yang Valley, but not autumn and winter. The vegetation has sprouted new branches before it withered, and the flowers have sprouted new buds before they withered.
It's still early spring on the bridge, and lotus leaves are already touching the sky under the bridge.
In a green pond, hundreds of red lotuses reflect the sun, which is very beautiful. Although a few green lotuses as green as bamboo are also in full bloom, they are inconspicuous among the green lotus leaves.
But this inconspicuous Qinglian is Jiang Yichen's hope for regaining his sight.
The poison that made Jiang Yichen blind was blind sand. The blind sand is essentially a poisonous poisonous insect. This poisonous poisonous insect is extremely tiny and difficult to see with the naked eye. It feeds on colloidal substances and has a life cycle of only ten days, but it can In a short period of time, they reproduce tens of millions of times, and thousands of Gu insects gather in swarms like flowing black sand.
The essence of the human eye is colloid, which is what blind bugs like to eat. Therefore, once attached to it, the bugs will multiply on the surface of the eyeball.
In the initial stage, the poisonous insects are active on the outermost layer of the eyeball. As the poisonous insects continue to multiply, the number reaches hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions. The entire eyeball is covered with black poisonous insects like a dark cloud covering the sun. Covered by insect swarms, it no longer shows its luster.
Until there is no space for reproduction on the surface of the eyeball, the Gu swarm will stop conquering and fall into a dormant period.
This period of dormancy lasts for about eight or nine days. Most of the Gu insects are dying and waiting for death to come. However, a small number of Gu insects born later have not yet had a full meal and have not reproduced enough offspring. They are unwilling to die and die. Will open up new food sources.
The outermost layer of the eyeball is fully occupied, so the new food source comes from the inner layer of the outermost layer.
In the new stage, the reproduction speed of Gu worms is slightly slower. Every time a new Gu worm is born, it will be accompanied by the death of some old Gu worms. It is not until the eyeballs in the deeper layer are enveloped again by a new group of Gu worms that the Gu worms reproduce. It will stagnate and enter a new round of dormancy.
The size of the eyeball is always limited, and the number of Gu swarms becomes smaller and smaller from generation to generation, but the swarms of Gu worms from generation to generation will eventually eat up the entire eyeball.
Compared with blindness, endless torture is the most cruel and vicious curse imposed by the Nayi tribe on the Baili tribe.
It may be difficult to feel the bite of a single voodoo insect on the eyeball. Only ten voodoo bugs can feel the bite of a mosquito. However, the voodoo bugs reproduce so fast that it doesn't take long for the human body to feel what it feels like to be stuck in the eye!
When the swarm of Gu insects sprint towards the last pure land on the surface of the eyeball, the pain is like the sting of thousands of silver needles piercing the flesh, only concentrated in the eyes. This kind of pain does not flow to the surface of the body, but is directed directly into the eyes. The nerves in the brain, where pain is most acute, can make people miserable and make life worse than death!
It is not easy for people to endure such pain once, not to mention that most people cannot bear such pain at all, and most of them fall unconscious during the process.
And if you have to suffer such severe pain every less than ten days, no matter how tough your mind is, it will be difficult to withstand the dual torture of both body and spirit.
In the past, few people in the Baili tribe who were poisoned by the blind sand could survive until their eyeballs were swallowed up by the poisonous insects. They either committed suicide or had their eyes removed by self-mutilation and survived for the rest of their lives.
At that time, the reason why many martial arts masters and the world's miracle doctors were helpless about the blind sand was because in addition to feeding on the eyeballs, the poisonous insects also had extremely strong viability and could not be washed away with ordinary potions. With strong force, only a small amount can be removed by wiping with external force. However, this will only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Soon the vacant area will be occupied by the rapidly multiplying voodoo insects, which will only add to the pain.
But just like what happened a hundred years ago, and the story Leng Mei told, there is no end to the road, and everything will fall one after another.
Gu insects feed on colloids, so you can use trapping methods to lure the voodoo insects out with colloids that are more delicious than eyeballs, and then kill them!
The green lotus comes out of the mud but does not stain. Boiling the petals in slices has the effect of detoxifying and improving eyesight. Decoction of the lotus seeds is good for the spleen and stomach, nourishes the heart and calms the mind. If the petals and lotus seeds are mixed together and simmered for half a day, crystalline colloids will form.
This crystalline colloid has no actual medicinal value, but as long as it can be made "delicious", it can be a good medicine for treating blindness.
In the prescription from the past, this crystalline colloid was simmered with more than a dozen kinds of herbs for several hours. After cooling, the crystalline colloid is crystal clear. It is naturally very different from eyeballs, but in the eyes of Gu insects, it is a delicacy. tonic.
As long as this crystalline colloid is applied to the eyes and allowed to be slowly absorbed by the eyes, these colloids will become a new food source for the insect swarm and stop further damage to the eyeballs. Once the Gu worm swallows these "delicious delicacies" into its belly, it will be the time of its death. Delicious food and poisonous food are inextricably linked!
When the voodoo bugs are completely eliminated from the surface of the eyeball, applying new clean colloid will replenish the lost lens of the eyeball. As time goes by, the colloid will be colloided by the eyeball.
Therefore, the amount of colloid used in the repair stage is very particular. At least it will affect the visual distance in the future, and at most it will cause long-term swelling and pain in the eye holes. Only the right amount can restore the poisoned eyes to their original state. Of course, this is a story later.
On the day he fell from the bridge, the eye-blocking sand had completely eroded Jiang Yichen's eyes. During the five days of coma, he was in the first dormant period of the Gu swarm. At this time, he could apply green lotus and medicine colloid for treatment as soon as possible to recover as soon as possible.
Leng Mei could not recall all the contents of the prescription she had seen many years ago. She only remembered the specific description of the colloid in the prescription. She used this to determine the success of her repeated attempts at dispensing the medicine. .
Finally, after she tried more than thirty times, that is, the day after Jiang Yichen woke up, she determined a colloid prescription that was 60% sure, and then started applying medicine to Jiang Yichen's eyes the next day.
Maybe the Gu swarm was in the dormant stage, maybe the Qinglian colloid prepared by Leng Mei had limited efficacy, maybe Jiang Yichen was too numb to the eyes. All in all, Leng Mei changed Jiang Yichen's medicine three times during this day. , Jiang Yichen didn't feel anything strange about his eyes, so he couldn't tell Leng Mei whether it had improved.
On the seventh and eighth days that followed, that is, the third and fourth days after Jiang Yichen woke up, Jiang Yichen couldn't help tensing up his nerves, waiting for the severe pain caused by the swarm of Gu insects after they passed their first dormant period.
Little did he know that the Gu swarm allowed Jiang Yichen to spend two days in peace and restlessness, and stayed dormant for a full nine days before fully erupting!
…
…
The pain comes at dawn.
Last time, Jiang Yichen was unconscious when he fell from the bridge and escaped the pain.
This time, Jiang Yichen welcomed the baptism when he was most awake.
After experiencing the pain of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Poisons, the severe pain of thousands of needles certainly failed to break Jiang Yichen's mental defense, but it did not mean that his physical strength and nerve strength could completely ignore the intense stimulation brought by those pains.
Although he didn't say a word, the pain forced layers of sweat to soak his clothes early.
The severe pain lasted for a full two hours, so that Leng Mei, who had made up her mind to wait and see what happened, felt something was wrong. She was wondering which medicine was wrong, but she did not dare to act blindly.
In the end, although Jiang Yichen resisted the pain, he fell asleep due to mental exhaustion.
Seeing Jiang Yichen sleeping deeply, Leng Mei couldn't help but recall the past that he had told her over the past few days. Two emotions flashed in her eyes, one was understanding, and the other was admiration.
Leng Mei admired Jiang Yichen because she didn't think she could have made a better choice in a short period of time amid what he had experienced.
Leng Mei understood Jiang Yichen very well, and felt that they were basically the same kind of people when they were on the Yin-Yang Bridge. People close to them treated them well, but the world was destined not to allow them and their relatives to live the rest of their lives in peace, so they gradually Under the expectations of others and through my own efforts, I became a chess piece of sufficient weight.
But the chess pieces are chess pieces after all. To put it bluntly, they are just objects with feelings. People close to them will be angry and angry because of the loss of their chess pieces, but in the end they will not stop their progress for them.
And when two temporarily abandoned and forgotten chess pieces met unexpectedly, there was no reason to feel sympathy for each other. She must help him!
After being stunned for a while, Leng Mei took off the lotus leaves tied around Jiang Yichen's eyes, turned over the side coated with green lotus colloid, and observed for a moment with no results. She followed the increasingly bright sunlight that had already hidden by the window and door. , walked slowly out of the house and sighed.
She knew what the problem was, and she knew even more clearly that she couldn't solve it exactly.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will remember every word of an article they casually glanced at out of curiosity a few years ago.
She frowned and looked at the lotus leaf in her hand again with some distress.
I saw that the viscous colloid that was still as crystal clear as dewdrops from last night was now reflecting the sunlight, making it extremely dazzling.
Although the light was dazzling, under sufficient light, Leng Mei finally saw a thin line of black spots floating in the texture of the lotus leaf that had been completely cleaned!
Leng Mei's heart moved. She carefully picked up the lotus leaf and brought it closer to her eyes. She looked more carefully and made sure again and again that the thin lines connected by the black spots were not dirt and impurities, but rather like dots of fine black sand. After that, her jade lips lightly Kai, breathed a sigh of relief!
