"How did this kind of monkey do it? Could it be that he really became a spirit? Otherwise, he would be too capable."
Song Siyuan was also thinking about Yue Guanchao's question, but she couldn't come up with the result for the time being. Yue Qingshan seemed to have figured out the reason: "Looking at the flames just now, those monkeys must have been burned. What we slipped into the crack of the door was probably monkey oil." , using monkey oil to confuse people can also confuse people to the point where they cannot see the truth clearly, and only Shan Kui can do it."
"Shan Kui?"
Everyone looked at Uncle Yue, wondering what he meant by Shankui. This kind of monkey was so weird that they couldn't tell what it was.
Yue Qingshan looked at Yue Guanchao and recalled his past experiences: "I remember, I told you the story of mandrills. These mandrills use their saliva to confuse people, making them unable to see the real and the real, and even causing severe hallucinations. Once a living person is alive, If they are confused by them, these mandrills will drag people into the cave and eat them, or drink the blood or eat the pure meat. These are just ordinary mandrills. If they get older, the mandrills will no longer be called mandrills, but It’s Shan Kui.”
He paused and continued to explain: "The so-called Shankui does not only refer to old mandrills, but all monkeys and apes that are old enough can be called Shankui. Such Shankui can easily be a hundred years old." With a lifespan of five hundred years, as he grows older, he has already developed intelligence compared to ordinary monkeys. Not only can he confuse people, but he can also talk to people. If he puts on human clothes, he can imitate people to nine extents. , if you cover your face again, no one will be able to tell that he is a mountain leader."
"Their methods of confusing people are much better than those of mandrills!"
"How clever is he? Is it possible that he can also manifest a divine statue?"
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Yue Qingshan shook his head in denial and said: "Ordinary mandrills can only wait and let the living people walk into the trap automatically. If the living people notice their tricks, it will be difficult to fall for them, but the mountain leader will actively look for prey, and even To make the prey willing to be eaten, he uses the monkey oil he made himself!"
Monkey oil is not mandrill saliva, so it is not considered a natural product, but a processed medicated oil.
The raw material of this medicinal oil is very special. It is the tears of the mountain leader. It is said that the tears of cows can channel spirits, the tears of dogs can ward off evil spirits, and the tears of monkeys are also useful, that is, chasing souls and seeking lives, attracting strangers, and bottle the tears of the mountain leader with one thumb. , it costs several hundred yuan to buy on the black market, which shows the magic of its legend!
Monkey Tears is just the main ingredient. The rest of the ingredients are some wild herbs, such as datura, absinthe wormwood, ephedra vine, Ganoderma lucidum, raspberry, bamboo peach blossom, daylily. Unlike old monkeys, monkey oil is often used Prescriptions also differ.
Yes, Shankui will search for medicinal herbs all over the mountains and plains. This is not because he has become a spirit, but because of his animal spirit!
Humans are different from wild beasts. When humans get sick, they can only seek help from a doctor. When animals get sick, although they don't know what the disease is, they can know what medicine can cure the disease through the animal's spirituality, and then search for herbal medicines all over the mountains and fields to cure the disease.
Just like dogs, once they have a broken bone, they know how to go up the mountain to find a kind of grass, which can be used to repair the bone and heal the injury. Once cats have indigestion, they also know how to look for herbs to induce vomiting. This habit of animals comes from the knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the beast group. This characteristic of them has long been known to doctors of all ages. Some herbal medicines for treating diseases were inspired by tracing the traces of animals to form certain prescriptions.
It can be said that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, most likely relying on wild animals to screen them in advance to determine whether they were poisonous or not, and how effective the medicine was. These tips were even written into the "Shen Nong's Classic of Herbs" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", which were used by folk doctors to practice medicine. What a trick!
The old monkey has lived in the human world for hundreds of years, and even a pig has become a spirit. Monkeys are the closest to humans and can be regarded as distant relatives of humans. Using the spirituality of animals, not only can we find more herbs, but we can also learn how to prepare and cook them. It is magical in an instant. .
The herbs that Shankui is looking for are dried in the sun and then ground with stone hammers. When they form fine powder, they are thrown into the tears. As the herbs are continuously mixed, they will form an oily-water-like sticky substance under the catalysis of the drugs. In a thick state, it looks like turbid liquid sesame oil, slightly brown and translucent, and smells rich. This thing is called monkey oil!
Even if someone does smell it, they will not think that this thing is the fishy bodily fluid of some kind of animal. Instead, it can relax their mind and fall into a trap, which is convenient for the old monkey to pretend to be a ghost and cause harm to people.
If he had just heard about such a thing, Yue Qingshan would not believe it easily. When he was young, he saw the old monkey fooling people with his own eyes, and only then did he know that it was true.
When he was young, he had stayed in Shu with the Golden Rat Society. This place had steep mountains, dense wild forests, and countless mandrills and wild monsters. There was also the old monkey who had become a familiar figure and came out to cause trouble in the world during the last years of the previous dynasty.
One day, when they walked to an ancient town, they saw little monkeys standing on the shoulders of the people. Hundreds of villagers were like this, which made Yue Qingshan and the others curious.
They all make a living by traveling around the world, and everyone knows a few slangs. After some inquiries, it turns out that the City God of this ancient town has revealed his true identity!
