What happened after that was exactly what Zhang Shuxun had imagined. Gou Ma Chongshan mentioned in the record that the lanky and abnormal bronze fox mask man clearly told Ma Chongshan that he had a way to restore Ma Chongshan to normal, but this method required the flesh and blood of his close relatives to support him.
In order to prove his statement, the man in the bronze fox mask took out a small stone box from his body and opened it. A piece of white jade was used to separate two spaces in the middle. A silkworm as thick as a finger slept on each side. A small one, lying quietly inside, motionless.
The surface of the larger silkworm's body was red and translucent, like chalcedony, and blood was almost dripping from inside. The color of the smaller one is much darker, closer to gray-brown.
Ma Chongshan's eyes were pricked by the red color, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of his brother who was still sleeping in the cave. He hesitated and asked,
"I can use my own blood to raise these silkworms, can't I?" The fox mask of the shadow man looked like a smile but not a smile, and there was a bit of ridicule in the narrow pupils behind the mask.
"You have already made your choice from the moment you brought him to Buzalaang."
"Now, either take your brother and get out of my territory immediately, or stay and obey my arrangements, and I will help you regain your life." Gou Ma Chongshan could tell that although he said so, They had no intention of letting him go at all. The reason why they didn't take action yet might be because they were worried about something.
He had no choice, and the initiative was not with him.
"What do you want from me?" He knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world, and he had to analyze more clues.
"It's very simple." The bronze masked man raised his bony fingers hidden under his robe and tapped the bell on Ma Chongshan's earlobe from afar.
"I want this bell." For Ma Chongshan, who had already experienced what it was like to be a waste, the temptation to regain a new life was too great.
He agreed without much thought. There were many heirs in the Ma family, but they were just brothers. Although he felt a little guilty, he did not feel that he was cold-blooded. He still cherished his own life more than other people's lives.
"What to do?" he asked. The man in the bronze mask smiled sinisterly and waved his hand to the side. The other man in the golden fox mask returned to the cave and quickly carried the unconscious Ma Chongfeng out.
After that, Ma Chongshan's eyes were also covered with cloth. He only heard the sound of a large mechanism hub opening, and then he felt that he was being taken to a dark, cold place, and continued to go down.
Ten minutes later, those people stopped, and Ma Chongshan felt himself being laid flat on an uneven, cold stone platform.
The blindfold was removed, and the surrounding area was very bright. Those people lit many torches here and inserted them around the stone platform.
After Ma Chongshan's eyes adjusted to the bright light, the first thing he saw was a huge disk facing him on the top. There were five long chains hanging from the top, with hooks at the ends, glowing eerily.
Figures kept moving around him, and he could only use his peripheral vision to judge what they were doing. The fox men stepped on each other's shoulders, set up a ladder under the disk, and then hung a larger object on the five iron hooks.
After waiting for those people to jump down, Ma Chongshan saw clearly that the thing they had hung up just now was actually his brother Ma Chongfeng!
And it was done in the same way as a livestock slaughtering scene. Ma Chongfeng was stripped naked, his chin was removed, and his limbs and abdomen were pierced with iron hooks into the flesh, and the bones and skin were hooked and hung on it.
Several lines of blood had flowed out of the open wounds, winding down the iron hook and dripping onto Ma Chongshan's face.
He could see that Ma Chongfeng was still alive and his head was still moving, but he didn't know what those people had done to him. Ma Chongfeng showed no signs of waking up.
Ma Chongshan was horrified by the scene before him and screamed in horror,
"What are you doing?" No one answered his question. In the eyes of those fox people, Ma Chongshan was not important at all. His existence was just an opportunity to complete the experiment, and they could find a replacement at any time.
Soon, someone came over and took off Ma Chongshan's clothes, locking him and fixing him on the stone platform with an edge like a plate.
The scene after Gou was completely cruel and indescribable even with blood. The man in the bronze mask, wearing gloves, carefully took out the slightly smaller gray silkworm from the box, and then put it into Ma Chongfeng's mouth hanging above.
Not long after the gray silkworm crawled in, Ma Chongfeng began to struggle. The blood vessels under his skin began to bulge, starting from his chest and quickly spreading throughout his body.
The dense capillaries under the skin emerged, and the hot blood dripped down like raindrops, falling on Ma Chongshan's body. After slipping from the skin, it was collected by the stone plate under him.
Ma Chongshan's whole body was soaked in bright red blood, and the thick blood almost drowned him. The strong smell of blood on the tip of his nose, the roar of a trapped beast in Ma Chongfeng's throat, the ghostly shadow in the firelight, the suppressed guilt and fear, everything swept into his mind like a violent storm. The world was spinning, and he was finally overwhelmed. He fell into a deep sleep and passed out.
During the period of coma, although Ma Chongshan could not move his body, he could actually feel that, just like the experience of a vegetative state, he could feel someone making a cut in his heart and putting something cold in his heart. Go in.
His breathing paused for a while, but the blood in his body was still flowing. His heart was replaced, and something replaced his heart, directing his heartbeat and breathing.
Gradually, he felt the fluctuations in the blood vessels at the end of his limbs. He tried to move his fingers, as if some kind of barrier had been broken, and all the senses about the outside world returned to him.
He returned to the previous cave, and next to him lay Ma Chongfeng's corpse, which had been eaten until only half of his skin was left.
The head with pale skin and bloodshot eyes was placed next to his head, close to his scalp, as if it was intended to kill the two brothers.
The bronze masked man planted a female silkworm, produced by the mating of two blood silkworms, into Ma Chongshan's heart, and then gave another female blood silkworm that had formed a cocoon and the remaining male silkworm to Ma Chongshan.
The huge silkworm cocoon that Zhang Zhuxun saw now was the original female blood silkworm. Now more than thirty years later, it has grown to such a big size!
Later in the sheepskin book, it was said that one female silkworm could only keep Ma Chongshan's body functioning for one year.
Zhang Zhuxun counted the large silkworm cocoons hanging in the wooden clusters here with his fingers.
"Two, four, six, eight..." Gou counted to the end and gasped. Thirty-six, excluding the cocoon in Ma Chongshan's incarnation, there were a total of thirty-six large cocoons in the wooden cluster.
Mother, after so many years, Ma Chongshan has killed thirty-six people in the Ma family! Crazy, so crazy!
After Ma Chongshan regained his ability to move, he burned the remaining skin of his brother to ashes, put it in a small bottle, and returned to Ma's house with the antiques.
He didn't tell anyone the secrets in his body, and he tried his best to avoid too much contact with the people around him, locking himself in the house all day long without seeing anyone.
He was afraid that people would know that he was a monster with no normal breathing and no heartbeat. His father thought it was his brother's death that hit him so hard that he never recovered. After persuading him to no avail, he finally handed over the Ma family's foundation to Ma Chonghai, the third eldest son, to take care of it. Ma Chongshan completely became a transparent person of the Ma family. .
Being a transparent person also has the advantage of being a transparent person. Ma Chongshan's actions can be more concealed. Since then, the fox-masked man has come to see him every year, and even assisted him in dealing with the selected Ma family members to help him clear his traces.
From then on, the number of people in the Ma family began to gradually wither. It was not until Ma Chonghai died of illness fifteen years ago, and several of the boys in the family were still young, that everyone in the Ma family remembered Ma Chongshan, who lived in a corner.
Even if Ma Chongshan is hiding in his own yard, he still knows the situation of the entire Ma family very well. The ancient well in the backyard garden was built by him under the pretext of modifying Feng Shui after he took charge of the Ma family, specifically to store the cocoons wrapped in the skins of the Ma family.
As for the so-called offending the Brahmin nobles, this is just a rumor he spread to confuse everyone. Every year, countless poor civilians are killed or even wipe out their families because of offending the Nepalese nobles. No one cares about whether the rumors are true or false.
There is no record in the sheepskin book of what exactly the Ma family dug up in the scorpion tomb and whether the excavated items were brought to Nepal by their descendants.
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at the little brother who was leaning on his backpack with his eyes closed and concentrating. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not ask.
Ma Chongshan, who has become a living dead, does not need to eat, so the food he eats in front of Zhang Zhuxun will become a burden on his body. No wonder he sneaks out at night.
Some of Zhang Zhuoxun's previous speculations were not groundless. The reason why Ma Chongshan suffered backlash was probably because he secretly swallowed a male silkworm Gu. The female silkworms who were saving their lives were also swallowed up.
In the final analysis, the cause of all this is just the dark selfishness of human nature. The blue-robed Tibetans of the past were right. Ma Chongshan really wrapped his greedy soul in a pure and hypocritical skin.
However, the Wang family has been waiting for more than 30 years. Why did they rush to Nepal to silence them this time?
After his mind wandered a few times, Zhang Zhuxun chuckled in his heart. It seemed that his new face had come in handy.
The stage has been set up, and after he goes to Medog to meet Aning, the protagonist will appear, and the drama on the snow-capped mountains will completely ignite.
Zhang Zhuxun and his brother waited underground for two days until the big silk moth that Ma Chongshan transformed into emerged from the cocoon.
First, one end of the cocoon gradually began to get wet. Inside, Kazuto's rather thick antennae poked out tremblingly, followed by a head covered in gray hair. The front end's jet-black compound eyes, which were larger than a watermelon, looked like leaks. People are tight.
Then came the front legs, thorax, abdomen and wings. After more than an hour, the silkworm moth finally climbed up to the edge of the wooden lattice cluster with its wet wings.
After the wings and the down on the body were dry, the big silk moth flapped its wings, and after several trials, it flew up unsteadily.
When its wings are fully extended, including the body in the middle, the width of this silk moth is nearly three meters, which is much larger than imagined.
All the characteristics of ordinary silkworms are magnified countless times on it, giving people a sense of déjà vu facing a biochemical crisis.
Zhang Shuxun and his brother held their breaths, hid themselves behind the pillar, and watched silently as the huge silk moth slowly flew to the larger cocoon.
Zhang Zhuxun was originally wondering why the huge female silkworm cocoon didn't come out, but he saw that the big silkworm moth used the same method to secrete a transparent water-like liquid from its mouth, moistening one end of the cocoon little by little, and then He folded his wings, dug a hole with his front feet and got in.
There was a commotion in the giant silkworm cocoon hanging above. After waiting quietly for another day, the male silkworm moth that had completed mating emerged from the big cocoon again, and then spit out the last bit of white silk to block the hole. He flew back to his cocoon tremblingly, and soon after getting in, he died completely.
Zhang Zhuxun waited so long that he almost turned into a mushroom, and the boy on the side finally started to take action. He asked Zhang Zhuo for a palm-sized white jade box, then climbed up along the wooden pillar. After approaching the big cocoon, he used a knife to make a new hole where the male silkworm moth had bitten before, and then went straight in. .
Everyone below Zhang Zhuxun was dumbfounded. What happened? Are you going to do an abdominal dissection to retrieve the eggs? He quickly ran over and climbed up the pillar, preparing to be able to support his brother in time if a fight broke out later.
After waiting for less than two minutes, the little brother emerged from the big silkworm cocoon, holding the jade box in his hand, which seemed to contain something.
I think of what my brother said before
"Wait for it to spawn" and
"It's useful," Zhang Zhuoxun muttered silently in his heart. Did the younger brother just go in and put the two eggs laid by the female blood silkworm into the box?
What use can the Gou Tian Shoucan be to this little brother? This thing is so evil. There is no way that my little brother will take on a bunch of people just to save one person.
As if he saw the confusion on Zhang Shuxun's face, after returning to the ground, the little brother took the initiative to explain: "This kind of Tianshou silkworm Gu that has not been stained with blood is very rare. As a medicinal material, its most essential effect is suppress."
"Suppression?" Zhang Zhuxun was confused at first, then thought of some possibility and said in surprise,
"Is this thing useful to that blind man?" The little brother put away the jade box and nodded.
"It cannot be completely cured, but it can delay time." Today, many of the witchcraft and Gu inheritances of the Monba tribe have been discontinued. Perhaps there is really only the mother blood Gu of the Tianshou silkworm here in this world.
Zhang Zhuxun once asked the system that the blind man's eye disease was not only due to the mysterious inheritance of the family, but also some acquired reasons. There was something unclean on his shoulders.
If that thing is not solved, even the materialization ability of the system can only delay the decline.
