Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Miasma Mother

The underground river in the cave kept rising yellow balls of light, increasing in number enough to drive away the darkness in the depths of the cave.The hazy yellow light renders the craggy rocks of the cave like an old movie scene.Lao Yue and the others didn't know the origin of the moon-like light ball. They grabbed the roots of the old tree and admired it in the water, saying that it was a rare scene in a thousand years. It's a pity that they couldn't take pictures in the water. For life. Huang Qianshan had never seen this kind of scene before, and he always found it weird. When the moon-like light ball kept rising from the water, he gradually remembered the miasma mother that the old people occasionally mentioned in the deep mountains of Guangxi.As the name suggests, miasma mother is the most powerful and complex poisonous miasma among all kinds of miasmas. Old people who have lived for hundreds of years have only heard it mentioned by their ancestors, but they have never seen it with their own eyes.The old people said that before miasma mother appeared, the rivers and streams were either green, red, or filthy. Huang Qianshan saw the discoloration of the river, but he didn't think of this layer.The discoloration of the river water is mostly due to the rain in the mountains and the sun, the heat and humidity, and the sprinkling of poisonous snakes and poisonous saliva and dung, which is why the river water changes color.

It is said that there are three kinds of miasma mothers, one is tangible and the other is invisible.The tangible miasma mother is like colorful clouds, and the invisible miasma mother is like a fishy wind, or a strange fragrance, both are miasma mothers.There is another kind, which is the most powerful of the three miasma mothers. It first turns into a moon-like ball of light from the water or jungle bushes, and slowly climbs into the air.Until the ball of light accumulates to a certain amount, it will lure curious people or creatures greedy for the essence of the moonlight to the vicinity.When people or animals forget themselves and look at this beautiful scenery with forgetfulness, the miasma mother will suddenly burst, and the colorful miasma will burst out from the light sphere at a speed as fast as a mountain torrent, and no one can escape.

Miasma does not need to be transmitted by poisonous mosquitoes. It can not only enter the body through the mouth and nose of humans and animals, but also penetrate the skin, hair, and eyes of humans and animals, making it impossible to guard against.Therefore, the old people in the deep mountains of Guangxi warn their younger generations that if they suddenly see lights in the mountains, or smell strange aromas or fishy smells, they must stay away immediately.There are not many exact records about the toxicity of miasma mother. Huang Qianshan has heard many versions, but they all have one thing in common, that is, people will not die immediately after being poisoned, but there is no way to cure them. After that, people's bodies will slow down within six hours. It festers slowly until the body is completely bruised and bloody, and people will not die until they are tortured to the limit.

Huang Qianshan wondered in surprise, could the aroma he smelled earlier be one of the miasma mothers, he had been sniffing hard for so long just now, could it be that the miasma poison has penetrated into the body unknowingly? !When Huang Qianshan thought of this, he immediately felt itchy all over his body, and when he looked at the back of his hand, the skin there really began to fester in a small area.Huang Qianshan was so frightened that his whole body went cold, no matter how much Lao Yue paid him, so what, he was still dead.In order to determine whether the miasma mother appeared in the cave, Huang Qianshan asked one by one. Unexpectedly, except for Lao Yue who was normal, the skin of the other four people had ulcers to varying degrees.

When Cai Minmin heard Huang Qianshan's deduction, she immediately froze, but she still asked in disbelief: "Mr. Huang, you are so proficient in Chinese medicine, there must be a way to cure it, right?" Huang Qianshan said in embarrassment: "I don't know about this. If I can go back to Guangxi to find my grandma, maybe she will have a solution, but we can't rush back to Guangxi within six hours." Liang Xiaoyu looked at her palm in horror, then looked at Laoyue beside her, and then panted and asked, "Why is Sister Yue okay then, is it just a common skin disease, not the miasma mother that Mr. Huang said?"

Gu Changtian had seen Huang Qianshan's ability before, so he didn't doubt it, he just asked: "Brother Huang, if you think about it again, is there any way to save him?" Hao Dali said pessimistically: "Is the mysterious queen of the ancient Guo State perverted? She used all these crooked methods to harm people. If the ancient tomb in the mountain is still there, I will not only pee in her coffin, but also shit. On her face, let's see if she dares to use dirty tricks!" Huang Qianshan was shaking in the underground river while clutching the roots of the tree. He said with difficulty: "The most urgent thing is not to survive, but to avoid the third kind of miasma mother. It will pick up speed and may kill instantly."

Hao Dali sighed in the water, he said: "Forget it, I still don't want to shit on the queen's face, I might as well let the miasma mother miasma kill me directly, lest my whole body slowly fester, such torture People, if you want to die, hurry up." Lao Yue thought carefully about what happened along the way, and then said: "Why do I have no signs of being poisoned? Could it be that I have done something that you have not done? Think about it carefully, maybe there is a way to save it." Huang Qianshan also found it strange, but after entering the mountain, they lived and ate together, did Lao Yue do something that the other five didn't?At this time, more and more light spheres gathered in the depths of the cave, and Miasma Mother was ready to go.Miasma often occurs in the southwest. Huang Qianshan never expected that there would be such a powerful miasma mother in the west side of Wangwu Mountain. Maybe this is also related to the gradual warming of the earth.There was a strong earthquake in the ancient Guo State, and floods, high temperature and drought usually occurred before and after the earthquake. The queen must have transformed some places and created miasma in every corner of the mountain, such as the green scales hidden in the water. Snakes, the venom they spit out is an important condition for creating poisonous miasma.

The ball of light began to condense and tended to charge towards them. Huang Qianshan thought for a while, their equipment could not completely prevent poisonous gas, let alone miasma mother not only could enter through the mouth and nose.People in the mountains know that they must have enough food to travel, or drink a few glasses of wine to resist the miasma. This is one of the reasons why Huang Qianshan has been able to drink so much since he was a child.Moreover, mountain people dare not untie their clothes when they are working in the dense forest, and take advantage of the wind to cool off.At night, you must also close the door when you sleep, this is to prevent miasma from entering.But after entering the mountain, they didn't have enough food at all, they only ate unnutritious snacks, let alone drinking alcohol, so how could they resist the miasma.There were no doors or windows in the cave, so the poisonous miasma could not be shut out. Thinking of this, Huang Qianshan felt an unprecedented headache.

At this time, Lao Yue calmly asked Huang Qianshan: "If the ball of light is the third kind of miasma, then the bluestone sculptures at the bottom of the water, they are not shooting the sun, but the miasma. Will there be a way to shoot down the miasma?" ?” Huang Qianshan just found out that he was poisoned by the miasma mother's poisonous gas and messed up his position. After Lao Yue reminded him, he realized that the shape of the "moon" shot by the blue stone sculpture is not just an artistic expression, it must also have a hidden meaning.Gu Changtian couldn't figure out how to shoot the "moon", after all, Miasma is a ball of light, there is nothing that can shoot the light through.Huang Qianshan said that the mother of miasma is not really light, it rises from the bottom of the water, or a kind of micro organism hatches from the water, and then flies to the air to gather together, but they have terrible toxicity, this ancient root The spore virus is about the same.

"Could it be that insecticide is used, but we didn't bring it with us." Liang Xiaoyu said helplessly. "If the bugs really changed, I'm afraid the insecticides won't work on them. They are much more poisonous than the insecticides. Maybe they kill the insecticides in turn." Huang Qianshan said with a wry smile. "Stop discussing, it's too late, I can't even try to escape, Miasma's ball of light is starting to break!" Hao Dali shouted in panic. Miasma light spheres rose in dense piles from the underground river. They no longer floated, but like deflated leather balls, pouring out colorful rays of light from the light spheres, more beautiful than the sunset.The more beautiful things in nature are, the more dangerous they are. Huang Qianshan, Lao Yue and others all understand this truth. Now that Miasma Mother is showing her power, they are all at a loss for what to do.Huang Qianshan always feels that if his life is alive, there is hope. Although he knows that he still has six hours to live, he doesn't want to give up these six hours. Unleash the poison of the miasma mother light sphere.

The mysterious queen of the ancient Guo State was proud and conceited. Since she displayed the "Oracle Bone Inscriptions on the Mountain Road" to imply outsiders, the bluestone carvings at the bottom of the water have a solution.Huang Qianshan and the other five people hurriedly looked at the bluestone carvings at the bottom of the water, not knowing what the shooting "moon" alluded to. Didn't the queen of the ancient Guo State expect that few people would use arrows after thousands of years? What did they use? Go shoot "Moon".Hao Dali saw Miasma mother rolling towards him, he panicked a little, his hands trembled, and a bag he was carrying slipped into the water.Hao Dali instinctively dived into the water to fish out the sunken bag. At this moment, Huang Qianshan guessed the meaning of shooting the "moon". The bluestone sculpture at the bottom of the water was not placed on the shore, but placed at the bottom of the water. After Huang Qianshan saw Hao Dali's movements, he realized that the meaning of "shooting the moon" probably implied that people should hide under the water, and "drawing a bow and shooting an arrow" meant catching the submerged Roots in the water.At this time, when the "moon" rushed across the water, looking at the "moon" from the bottom of the water was like being stabbed by a tree root.The body fluids of venomous snakes are stagnated in underground rivers, but since ancient times, some mountain village wild doctors have said that poisonous snakes have been soaked in wine as medicine, so hiding in the water will not kill you immediately.What's more, the five people have already been infested by the miasma mother, and sooner or later their bodies will fester, so they don't care about the snake venom in the water. Huang Qianshan raised this statement, but no one questioned it anymore, because Miasma Mother had already arrived.As soon as Huang Qianshan finished speaking, the six people each took a breath, and then slid down the thick tree roots into the underground river.Miasma mother is composed of a gas and microscopic organisms. Although they are formed from water, they cannot enter the water.Huang Qianshan held his breath and swayed in the water. He felt that the world was clean, and he only heard the sound of water gurgling.The deflated light ball on the water surface swept across the water surface, and then brought thick light dust like a comet. Cai Minmin couldn't help but wanted to surface to take a breath, Huang Qianshan caught Cai Minmin when he saw it, but Cai Minmin didn't break free, but hugged Huang Qianshan's body instead.Huang Qianshan felt that his whole body was crispy, which was very strange, but the situation was special, so he let Cai Minmin hug him like that.After all, human beings are animals on land, and they can't survive after staying in the water for a minute, but the colorful light on the water surface is still as thick as fog, so Huang Qianshan has been making gestures not to allow them to go up. After a while, Huang Qianshan couldn't hold back anymore, he felt his brain was about to explode.The light on the water was already dark, so he called everyone to come to the surface for air.After Huang Qianshan was released by Cai Minmin, he was also eager to surface, but he didn't want to but saw a pair of golden eyes in the water.After Huang Qianshan vaguely saw a silhouette, he swallowed a mouthful of river water in shock.Huang Qianshan thought in horror, no, the thing under the water is the owner of the giant egg in the weather station!
