What is this...

In fact, Wu Liangliang was not without speculation.

Combined with these clothes that maintain the posture of the human body, there is also the stench that fills the entire stone house, and these black powders that also maintain the posture of the human body.

Wu Liang has already remembered what Zhen Mi said before about "nourishing Shen Zhi".

This kind of grass is mentioned in many historical documents. It is said that birds will pick up the fairy grass from Zuzhou and put it on the face of the dead, so that the dead can be resurrected, and one plant can bring thousands of people back to life.

But Zhen Mi has made it clear before that the so-called "nourishing mushroom" is not a fairy grass that can bring people back to life.

It can indeed "resurrect" people, but the "resurrected" person turns into a walking zombie who knows nothing, and the process of body decay will not stop. The final outcome is to silently walk to an uninhabited place.

The place turned into a pair of rotten soil with an unpleasant odor.

Zhen Mi saw all this with her own eyes. Although she couldn't tell what exactly it was about, she was extremely sure that this kind of "resurrection" was by no means the resurrection from the dead as people understood it.

And the situation in the stone house.

There are many details that match Zhen Mi's description.

If this place is indeed the legendary "ancestral continent", and if a kind of fairy grass called "Yangshenzhi" does grow here, then the black powder Wu Liang sees now is most likely what Zhen Mi said.

Rot turned into rotten soil by "the person resurrected by Yangshenzhi".

But there is another detail that Wu Liang can't figure out: Why are those parrots so attracted to these black powders, even if he catches them all in one go?

It feels like those parrots are addicted to this black powder.

But when it comes to addiction, the old macaque king is also an aborigine of this mysterious island... Wu Liang turned back and looked at the old macaque king. His reaction was very calm when he saw the black powder. Could it be that that black powder is only for parrots?

Is it useful?

Just when I was thinking about it.

"Wu Taishi, can I come forward and check the black soil?"

The witch Hu was obviously very curious about these black soils, but with Wu Liang's previous warning, she did not act rashly this time, but asked for instructions.

"The composition of these black soils is unknown, so be careful."

Wu Liang took out the pair of leather gloves he carried with him and handed one to the witch Hu. He also kept one and put it on his hand. Then he nodded and said, "If you plan to touch this black soil, you'd better bring it with you."

Put on these gloves."

Wu Liangzhong has some scruples about these black soils.

If the real situation is as described by Zhen Mi, he has reason to suspect that "Yangshenzhi" is actually a kind of scary thing like super bacteria or mold that can activate the body of dead bodies, just like the one he encountered in Le'an Country before.

Like "Yun Yang", it can have an impact on human beings through invisible and intangible means.

Of course, it is also possible that "Yang Shen Zhi" is only useful for dead bodies and has no effect on living people like them.

After all, historical documents only record that "Yangshenzhi" brought the dead back to life, but did not mention what impact it had on living people.

In fact, there is a huge difference between the bodies of living people and dead people.

Wu Liang once saw relevant research reports in later generations, which mentioned that after a person dies, bacteria and enzymes that are not found in living people will rapidly grow in the body, thus accelerating the decay and decomposition of human tissues... And these bacteria are related to

Enzymes are invisible to the naked eye, and no difference can be seen on the surface.

If "Yangshenzhi" is only effective on dead bodies, then it is most likely related to these special bacteria and molds.

"Wu Taishi's preparations are beyond imagination."

The witch Hu took the gloves, but with a pair of beautiful eyes, she looked at the cloth bag Wu Liang carried with him, and said with a hint of teasing, "There are not many men as careful as Wu Taishi. I have only been with Wu Taishi for a few days."

, I feel that as long as I am with Wu Taishi, I don’t need to worry about anything.”

"I suspect that you are seducing me, but I advise you not to think about it. It's not like you have never seen my woman before. She has excellent appearance and figure. There is nothing special about you that attracts me."

Wu Liang didn't understand Fengqing's words.

However, the witch Hu did not change her face because of this. Instead, she said with deep approval: "It is true, especially the beauty named Zhen Mi. Even when I saw it, I was a little moved...but I am not without merit."

.”

"I have to remind you that our time is limited and we should not spend our energy on such meaningless things."

Wu Liang didn't answer at all. After putting on his gloves, he knelt down and carefully opened the set of clothes in front of him, and pulled out some of the black soil inside.

"..."

The witch gave him a dissatisfied look, and finally stopped saying anything and squatted beside him to examine the black soil carefully.

…

There is nothing special about this black soil to the naked eye.

If I had to say what it looked like... Wu Liang thought of the coffee grounds left after grinding and brewing, or black sand, because it was not completely powdery, and a large part remained in the form of granules.

besides.

Wu Liang didn't see anything special.

And because he had some scruples, Wu Liang had no intention of picking it up and smelling it for the time being. However, he could find a container with some water and put it in to check the dissolution.

However, this will take time, and Wu Liang does not intend to conduct such an experiment now.

So he just took out an empty small porcelain bottle from his cloth bag, put some black soil into it, sealed it with a stopper, and waited until he got outside to make plans.

The result was just when he was doing this.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the miko Hu holding a handful of black soil with her gloved hands, and then slowly brought her face closer, as if she wanted to smell it now.

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

Wu Liang quickly stopped him.

"As you can see, it's just a smell, and I'd like to taste it if necessary."

The miko said matter-of-factly.

Have a taste...

Wu Liang felt that his head was big and he was convinced: "You know what this is and you still want to taste it. If this thing is toxic or has any adverse effects, it will be fatal. Are you not afraid of death?"

"

"Afraid."

The witch nodded, but then said, "But some things require pioneering brave men to try. Your country had a 'Shen Nong who discerned medicine and tasted hundreds of herbs' a long time ago. Without this brave man who dared to try, there would be no country in your country."

Weren't today's enviable agricultural and medical industries, as well as your tea ceremony, also attempted by this brave man?"

"These... are clearly two different things, right?"

Wu Liang was asked.

What she said made sense, and I was speechless.

I, a great Taishi Ling who is well versed in ancient and modern times, was actually questioned by a Japanese woman using the historical facts of the Celestial Dynasty...

"How are they two different things? Even if what Shennong tasted was grass, as far as I know, the alchemists of your country have always had the habit of using gold and stone to refine elixirs and take them in order to achieve immortality and prolong life. This should be the same thing.

Bar?"

The witch blinked again and said, "Besides, those parrots can be eaten. I will try it and it will be fine... Please rest assured Wu Taishi, this matter is my own initiative. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Wu Taishi."

There is no need for Taishi to have any burden in his heart."

Well...this problem is even more serious.

Not only those alchemists, but even Qin Shihuang and Han Wu Emperor, who were more than ten thousand people, could be regarded as pioneers and brave men who had the courage to test poisons. These two were addicted to taking those pills before their death, and whether they ended up ruining their health.

It’s hard to say, Shang Shang, since he didn’t seek immortality anyway.

But Wu Liang thought about it again.

It's hard to say a good thing but it's a ghost that will kill you.

Since the witch Hu insisted on trying it and he had tried to persuade her, even if she had a clear conscience, there was no need to insist on stopping a Japanese from making this little white mouse.

On the contrary, this can also help Wu Liang obtain first-hand experimental data and gain a more specific and detailed understanding of this black soil.

in addition.

Wu Liang once again remembered the identity of the legendary queen Himiko.

In history, it is very likely that she came here, maybe tasted this black soil, and then quickly rose to become the legendary queen after returning. And as a shrine maiden, maybe there is something about this in the shrine's documents.

There are records related to black soil, so there is this kind of unclear courage.

"please."

With this thought in mind, Wu Liang finally stopped trying to stop him.

He and Miko Hu are not enemies now, and he is not too worried about Miko Hu gaining any unexpected abilities after tasting the black soil and attacking him.

What's more, Wu Liang also has black soil in his hands now. If this thing really has any miraculous effects, Wu Liang can also have it.

Then.

The witch Hu put the black soil under Wu Liang's nose and sniffed it twice.
