Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Anaconda Miasma

The mountains outside the forest, especially around the lowest broken house, were surrounded by layers of thick fog.The dense fog was covered with a faint black, and the fog was so heavy that it could not be lifted into the air. It was all pressed on the mountain, and no trace could fly up.The fire in the dilapidated house had been extinguished, but the rain stopped at this moment, and the sky was showing a gray light.The fog on the grass was not affected by the light, and he was slowly climbing up the mountain, as if alive, and he would climb to the forest at the foot of the mountain in a short while.

Huang Qianshan could tell at a glance that this was the most poisonous gas in the forest—miasma, a poisonous gas that can cause people to suffer from damp heat and steam in the southern forest.Miasma was most common in ancient Zhuang areas, and Guangxi was known as the "Land of Miasma". Huang Qianshan would not be unfamiliar with it.Ancient people's understanding of miasma was very limited. The actual disease-causing miasma was mostly caused by flying mosquitoes. After being bitten by mosquitoes, people and animals would be infected with falciparum malaria. Although ordinary miasmas are mostly caused by mosquitoes spreading diseases to harm people, some special miasmas can directly affect the human body and even animals.For example, there is a folk song in Yunnan that describes the viciousness of the miasma very vividly: "Ten people go to Mengla, and nine people cannot return home; if you want to go to Chefonan, you must first buy a coffin; if you want to go to Pusaba, you must marry your wife first."

Huang Qianshan was born in Guangxi, and he has seen many miasmas, but he knows that miasmas exist in the filthy atmosphere of southern mountain forests, and are more common in Guangdong and Guangxi.Except for Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest China, miasma is rare in other parts of China, and it has never been seen in the areas north of the Yangtze River.Seeing the miasma in Wangwu Mountain now, Huang Qianshan was really startled, and this miasma was no small matter, he was by no means an ordinary person. The light black miasma at the foot of the mountain is a rare anaconda miasma. This kind of miasma is very difficult to form, and Huang Qianshan has only heard it from old people.It is said that this kind of miasma was formed in June and July because anacondas and snakes copulate in the mud of mountains, forests and rivers, exhaling the filthy air, which then stagnates in the mountains and waters, forming a light black miasma.As the name suggests, the anaconda snake moves around like a snake, but it cannot fly into the air and can only walk on the ground. This is its most distinctive feature.If you are placed in the middle of the attack, the victim will feel abnormal pain in the chest and abdomen, a fishy smell in the mouth and nose, and become unconscious and weak.

Huang Qianshan felt remorseful and blamed himself for being too careless. How could the king of the ancient Guo State be so careless? Since he buried traps in the mountains and rivers to attract thousands of small snakes with green scales, he would also use the big rivers in the mountains to set up traps. More powerful poisonous miasma.There must be a lot of special wooden figurines hidden under this big river in the mountain. Even after thousands of years, the insects and snakes in the mountain can still make peace here.In addition, it is summer now. Although it is cool in the mountains, it rained twice at night. Now the rain stops and the sun rises, and a lot of water vapor is transpiring. Combined with the special materials on the countless wooden figurines lurking under the big river, this is the creation of anaconda and snake miasma. Prerequisites!

Gu Changtian didn't react for a while, Huang Qianshan didn't have time to explain to Gu Changtian, he was anxious not knowing how to save Lao Yue and the others.One way to get rid of miasma is to eat coix seed, which can lighten the body after taking it for a long time; there is another kind of betel nut, which can also fight miasma; in addition, there are other methods such as realgar and atractylodes, which are often burned and smoked , can also eliminate miasma.Of course, if a person lives in a place with miasma for a long time, he will not be afraid of miasma, and Huang Qianshan belongs to this category.Huang Qianshan's hometown often has miasma, and the people around his house are not afraid of miasma, but the miasma is not an ordinary miasma, and rushing into the miasma recklessly will definitely never return.

"Brother Gu, retreat into the woods immediately, and don't be touched by the anaconda and snake miasma, or I won't care about your life." Huang Qianshan chewed a few mouthfuls of celandine that was wet in his pocket, then tore off his coat, and put It covers the mouth and nose. Gu Changtian was still in a daze, but he also sensed that there was something wrong with the light black mist, so he said, "I'll go with you, and I can also cover my face." Huang Qianshan said irritably: "Don't be wordy, I'm not afraid of miasma. Your physique is not good. Covering your mouth and nose, anaconda and snake miasma can also kill you. Go up quickly, don't be touched by miasma! Chew some more if you have time." Mouth celandine, I'll be right back!"

The anaconda and snake miasma had almost climbed to the edge of the mountain forest, Huang Qianshan rushed down suddenly, breaking into the misty miasma in an instant.Huang Qianshan didn't dare to take a big breath. Although he was exercising extremely fast, he kept his heartbeat and breathing to a minimum to avoid ingesting too much anaconda miasma.When rushing to a lower place, Huang Qianshan spat out the celandine that he had chewed in his mouth. He rubbed the chewed celandine on the exposed skin to prevent miasma from poisoning his body through the skin.It rained twice last night, and the smell of celandine has long been washed away by the rain. Huang Qianshan can also amplify the smell of the medicine by doing this, and make the poisonous snakes and insects in the forest retreat.

There was no fire in the dilapidated house, Huang Qianshan secretly hated himself, and blamed him for being careless for causing Lao Yue and the others to have an accident.In the pale black miasma, Huang Qianshan couldn't see clearly the situation in the mountain. He stumbled and nervously walked back to the dilapidated house, but he didn't dare to ask immediately if the people in the house were all right.As soon as Huang Qianshan went outside, he knocked on the rotten wooden door. As he expected, there was no echo in the room. When he walked in, everyone passed out. "I don't know when the anaconda miasma appeared. If Gu Changtian and I appeared as soon as we left, Lao Yue and the others would be hopeless." Huang Qianshan thought dejectedly in his heart.

The miasma of anacondas and snakes in the dilapidated house was relatively weak. As soon as Huang Qianshan entered, he saw four people sleeping on the ground, but the fire was still smoking, presumably the fire had just been extinguished.Huang Qianshan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. Since the fire had just extinguished, the anaconda and snake miasma should have been forced out of the house by the fire and could not enter. Probably later, Lao Yue was fascinated by the miasma that gradually penetrated, and gradually lost consciousness. After the fire was extinguished, the miasma to come in fully.As long as this is the case, the miasma poison among Lao Yue and the others will not be too deep, and Huang Qianshan is sure to rescue them all.

Huang Qianshan felt the pulses of the four of them. Fortunately, their pulses were still strong, but they had to leave the range of the anaconda and snake miasma immediately, otherwise it would be difficult to rescue the poisonous gas into the heart.Although Huang Qianshan had good physical strength, he couldn't move four people with one person. Unfortunately, Gu Changtian didn't live in a miasma place for a long time.Huang Qianshan compared the pulses of the four, and found that Cai Minmin was the weakest, and Liang Xiaoyu was the strongest.Huang Qianshan thought to himself, Cai Minmin usually looks very stinky, but he didn't expect to have the weakest physique. On the contrary, Liang Xiaoyu has the best physique.

Huang Qianshan weighed the pros and cons, carried Cai Minmin on his shoulders first, and ran to the forest at the foot of the higher mountain after leaving the dilapidated house.He ran back and forth four times in a row, and when he carried Liang Xiaoyu away for the last time, Huang Qianshan was out of breath. He could no longer suppress his heartbeat and breathing, and he inhaled the miasma into his body.At this moment, Huang Qianshan suddenly felt the darkness in front of his eyes, but he bit his tongue fiercely, the salty blood and the sharp pain made him wake up immediately.Huang Qianshan understood that he had already been poisoned by the miasma poison of anaconda and snakes, but he couldn't fall into the miasma, otherwise Liang Xiaoyu would die, it would be a big loss if he died. Ancestors. Finally, Huang Qianshan moved the four unconscious people out of the range of the anaconda and snake miasma. Gu Changtian was terrified when he saw it, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.Huang Qianshan chewed a few more mouthfuls of celandine, but the poison of the anaconda and snake miasma could not be cured by celandine, it could only alleviate the poisonous gas attacking the heart.Huang Qianshan was also thinking about what to do irritably, but it was a pity that the medicines brought by Lao Yue and his party were replaced, otherwise they could find some useful medicines from them. Gu Changtian didn't dare to go far, he had been waiting for Huang Qianshan beside the white jade tablet, he was worried that it would be dangerous if he went far, and also afraid that Huang Qianshan would not find him if he went far.Fortunately, the anaconda snake miasma did not climb up, it stopped outside the forest.Huang Qianshan looked at the poisonous miasma outside the forest, and thought that fortunately, after thousands of years, the miasma of anacondas and snakes thousands of years ago would surely spread to the mountainside.Now the wooden figurines in the big river have almost used up the special medicine on their bodies, and the anaconda miasma produced is more than powerful, otherwise they would not survive. "Brother Huang, what should we do, the four of them can't wake up." Gu Changtian hurriedly tossed the four unconscious people, but it was all in vain. Huang Qianshan was also restless. When he saw the white jade tablet, and then at the piles of red stone vines beside the white jade tablet, he thought of a solution.Legend has it that white jade has the function of purifying the human body, so the ancients often made white jade into jade and wore it on their bodies, hoping that it would avoid disasters and solve difficulties.This is not empty talk, there is also a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that white jade is used as medicine to detoxify.The red stone vine itself is a rare thing, and now it has absorbed the essence of the white jade tablet for thousands of years, growing so fat, it is the best to detoxify the poison of the anaconda and snake miasma. Gu Changtian felt sick after hearing this method, he didn't dare to eat stone vines, but when he thought that others would eat them, not himself, so he treated the live horse as a dead horse doctor, and simply fed the four people red stone vines.Huang Qianshan tried the medicine himself. He first smashed the red stone vine into juice, and then swallowed it.Huang Qianshan felt that his body was fine, so he hurriedly smashed the red stone vines, mixed in some celandine, and then fed these things into the mouths of the four of them together with Gu Changtian. After waiting for a while, Gu Changtian panicked completely. He didn't believe that Huang Qianshan knew so much, and wanted to say that Huang Qianshan had cured someone to death.After waiting for a few more minutes, the rain in the forest turned into white steam and slowly rose. The sun passed through the layers of branches and leaves of the old trees and shone on everyone.Finally, Liang Xiaoyu finally woke up, and Lao Yue, Cai Minmin and Hao Dali also woke up.Seeing the four of them woke up, Gu Changtian felt relieved and stopped nagging. After Cai Minmin woke up, she wanted to complain and scold others, but when she heard that she was poisoned, Huang Qianshan carried them up one by one, so she reluctantly said: "Who knows if you insulted me, but...thank you gone." When Liang Xiaoyu woke up, she saw many red stone vines piled up beside her. She felt sick, so she turned her head to the side and vomited violently.Hao Dali struggled to sit up, and while stretching his muscles and bones, he said: "Your uncle, I almost lost my life after sleeping, so I won't sleep next time!" Lao Yue rubbed her temples vigorously, she looked around, and after she figured out the situation, she asked suspiciously: "Mr. Huang, how do you know so many things, and how to detoxify miasma? You seem to be very knowledgeable about medicine. learn." Huang Qianshan glanced at Hao Dali, and then said lightly: "Forget it, it's okay to say it after so many years, although my uncle didn't let us say it before. Have you ever heard of the Qihuang Great Seal, also known as the Qihuang Seal?" Lao Yue and the others shook their heads to express their ignorance. Huang Qianshan made a long story short: "I heard from my grandfather that there was a Qihuang seal in my family. They said that this seal has a very powerful Qihuang technique and some messy secrets. My ancestors are all People from Qihuangzhong, unfortunately for some reason, can’t show their medical skills in front of others. I don’t know very well, and I haven’t seen the Qihuang seal. I guess they are trying to lose face, but the children and old people in the family know some herbal medicine. So nothing surprising." After Huang Qianshan finished speaking, he knew that Lao Yue wanted to say words of admiration, which he didn't like to hear the most, so he immediately changed the topic without giving them a chance.Huang Qianshan pointed to the white jade tablet beside him, and asked Lao Yue: "Miss Lao, I heard that you know a lot of ancient characters, why don't you come and see, what words are written on the white jade tablet?" Lao Yue didn't know that Huang Qianshan was playing tricks, so she turned her head to look at the white jade tablet in a daze. After looking at it seriously, she said: "This...impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
