Chapter 9 Chapter Eight Hypothesis of "Gu"

Professor Pinner said slowly: "Young man, if I say that I have not made any research results in the past few years, it is not true. At least I have discovered 83 new bacteria, which have not been discovered by humans. .” I hurriedly said: "Then you mean that the so-called 'Gu' is just caused by bacteria. It can be regarded as a man-made and chronic disease. Can it be explained in this way? That's the problem with Gu?" Professor Pinner said deeply: "It's really hard for me to answer your question. It's just like you ask people: What is mathematics? Two plus two equals four. This is mathematics, but calculus is also mathematics. Bacteria are in' In Gu', it is just one factor, the actual situation is much more complicated!"

I smiled wryly: "Bazhu once laid a venom on me, then, you mean, there is a certain kind of bacteria that has not been discovered in my body now? Is that what you mean?" "You can say this." Professor Pinner replied: "Tomorrow I can prove it to you. I have collected 83 kinds of Gu bacterial specimens. Tomorrow I will draw your blood. Under a microscope, you may see it. There are some kind of bacteria in your blood, which is the proof of scientific research, or there is nothing at all." I smiled wryly and said, "But why am I fine now? Why don't bacteria multiply in my body? Why do these bacteria kill me when I change my mind? Do bacteria have thoughts? Is it?"

Professor Pinner said: "Of course bacteria don't have thoughts, but I think the people here have an extremely deep understanding of the most amazing organization in the human body, the endocrine part." I was stunned for a moment: "What does it have to do with human endocrine tissue?" Professor Ping Gang remained silent for a while, and fell into deep thought. He stayed for five minutes before saying: "Endocrine is the most amazing. Modern medicine has known that endocrine can affect a person's emotions. On the other hand, a person Emotions can also affect endocrine."

I still don't get it: "So what?" "And endocrine can promote the growth and death of vitamins. Some people often fall into a state of permanent malnutrition because of endocrine disorders. Such examples are not uncommon." I was a little impatient, and spread my hands: "Professor, you still haven't touched the center of the matter!" Professor Pinner sighed: "Don't worry, kid, I'm just trying to make you understand the truth of the whole thing──Actually, in my mind, this is just a very vague concept, so in order to make you understand, I had to start from the beginning."

I smiled wryly and said, "Okay, then I won't interrupt you. You mentioned that endocrine can promote or destroy the vitamins in the human body." "Yes, from this point of view, endocrine must also have some effect on bacteria or viruses that are too small to be seen in the human body. , it has the effect of accelerating reproduction." I didn't interrupt the professor's words, I just frowned and listened attentively. "I assume that 'Gu' is a kind of bacteria or virus that can kill people, but this kind of bacteria or virus can only reproduce rapidly in the human body under certain circumstances. It can cause death. Since this kind of bacteria or virus has never been discovered by human beings, once it occurs, there is no way to cure it.”

I kind of understood what Professor Pinner meant, so I nodded involuntarily. Professor Pinner continued: "For example, you have been poisoned by Ballu, a certain kind of bacteria or virus has been lurking in your body, but it is only lurking until you change your mind about a woman." , your mood has changed, which affects your endocrine, and the change in endocrine makes the virus grow rapidly, and when it reaches its climax, your heart is severely damaged, it looks like a heart attack !" I kept taking deep breaths. Professor Pinner's research on "voodoo" in the past few years is obviously not in vain, because he has already put forward a scientific explanation for the incredible "voodoo".

Although his explanation is only a "hypothesis", this hypothesis is already extremely convincing. From this, it can be seen that Professor Pinner is the first person in the world to study Gu and has achieved results. Professor Pinner paused for a while, and then said: "Of course, there are more than one kind of Gu, there are several types of Gu, which are similar to 'heart Gu', and I believe it has an inseparable relationship with endocrine! " I asked: "Then, what about the other Gu?" "The rest is relatively simple. It is a special method of time control. The people who play Gu, undoubtedly have an extremely profound and magical understanding of bacteriology. They can calculate the speed of bacterial reproduction, and can calculate it accurately. From From the time of the voodoo, to the period of time when the bacteria multiplies enough to take life, and during that period of time, if you come back, then they have an antidote, which can make the person affected by the voodoo act as if nothing had happened."

I smiled wryly: "Professor, isn't this a bit too amazing?" Professor Pinner immediately agreed with me, saying: "Yes, it is extremely miraculous, miraculous to the point of inconceivable, but it is the truth!" The two of us remained silent for a while, before Professor Pinner said again: "Son, do you understand now? I think, even if I spend another ten years and work harder, I may not be able to come up with a proposal." Full report." I hurriedly said: "Actually, your current assumption has already made my trip worthwhile. I believe that Ye Jiaqi's sudden death was indeed due to a change of heart and the influence of emotions on endocrine."

He patted me on the shoulder: "So, you must be careful." I forced a smile: "Professor, if I go for a blood test now, of course I can be found out. There is an unknown bacteria in my blood, isn't it?" Professor Pinner said: "In theory, this is true, but in fact, I said 'bacteria' to you, just for the convenience of telling. In fact, it is not a bacterium, but a very small virus. It is almost an elusive thing that cannot be seen under a microscope, I really don’t understand why they have such a deep research on it!” I didn't say anything more, the two of us faced each other silently, and later fell asleep in an extremely confused mood.The next day, Professor Pinner showed me around his work, and beyond my expectation, his work equipment.Not shabby, but perfect.

That's why when he entered the Miao District, he already had the intention to do in-depth research on "Gu".Before he entered the Miao area in China, he stayed in Singapore for a period of time and observed three "strange patients". Those three strange patients were infected by Gu, so his concept of "Gu" had already been formed, and he was naturally prepared before entering the Miao District. He showed me more than 30 kinds of photos that can be taken through his microscope among the 83 kinds of "viruses". . In his explanation, I realized that among the eighty-three kinds of "Gu", "Heart Gu" is not the most mysterious one.

Some chiefs brought their subordinates down and asked for "rebellious Gu". If his subordinates betrayed him, then the "gu poison" would immediately break out. There is another kind of "Gu" that punishes disrespect to the gods, and there is another kind of "Gu" that punishes theft. clear. And the "culture agent" of each "Gu" is different. Generally speaking, each kind of "Gu" uses a kind of insect as its "cultivation agent", some are spiders, some are scorpions, and there are many strange insects that have never been seen before. The "Gu" can attack after three years, and its "cultivation agent" looks like a leaf. But it wasn't a leaf, in fact, it was a moth that looked like a leaf.Moreover, not only worms, but also various animal organs, such as the "culture agent" of "Heart Gu", which is a kind of bird's heart. Professor Pinner also showed me that kind of bird, which is a very beautiful bird with royal blue feathers and a very moving song. If it is said that the heart of that kind of bird can breed a kind of bacteria, and This heart can go through many years and still remain bright red, and that kind of bacteria can cause people to die when they change their hearts. Unless this person has the same experience as me, he really will not believe it anyway. During that whole day, listening to Professor Pinner explain everything about "Gu", it was like having a nightmare, and I just kept smiling wryly.Finally, in the evening, Professor Pinner asked me a very serious question: "Aren't you going to live here for a long time?" I was taken aback for a moment, and then I answered him: "Of course not, I'm going, and I want to leave tomorrow, because my purpose of coming here has been fulfilled, and I already know what 'Gu' is all about." Already!" Professor Pinner looked at me sadly: "I don't think you can go out. They take their secrets very seriously. Since you are here, it is by no means an easy task to go out." I couldn't help but stay for a long while, looking out, the sky was full of sunset, and the whole valley was in a very strange atmosphere. It was almost impossible to climb over the mountains and leave this valley, and if you wanted to go out through the only passage , Of course you can't steal it out, but you have to explain it to them. I thought for a while: "Professor, I want to explain to them that I want to leave, so maybe they won't refuse." Professor Pinner shook his head: "Your chance is only one in a thousand, but you might as well try to tell them—" He stopped suddenly when he was talking, and listened carefully. I also heard a drumbeat. That kind of drum sound is very deep, beating again and again, which is extremely uncomfortable. Professor Pinner said: "They are summoning their clansmen. I think the purpose of this gathering is related to you." I said: "So, do you count as one of their clansmen? You have been here for several years. Are you not one of them?" Professor Pinner said: "Of course not. In their eyes, I am just a monster with green eyes and golden hair. They don't know what I am doing here. If they know my work, it is to reveal their secrets to the world." If I were to die, then I would have died a long time ago!" At this time, the sound of the drums gradually became more rapid, and I saw Brother Meng walking forward. Brother Meng came to the bottom of Professor Pinner's studio, raised his head and shouted: "Mr. Wei, please come down." , my father wants to see you." I climbed down the bamboo ladder and followed him forward. Along the way, I wanted to speak up several times and asked him if it was possible for me to leave, but he just kept his head buried and walked quickly, not giving me a chance to talk to him. Chance. I think he is avoiding me on purpose, does he already know my intentions? The further I went, the louder the sound of the drums, and the sky was gradually getting dark. I saw the flames shining in front of me, and several very large fires were lit, and there were already many people sitting around the fires. There is a team of "drummers" who are beating a few big leather drums fluffy.As soon as Brother Meng and I arrived, the sound of the drums fell silent. I saw Brother Meng's father walking forward with very solemn steps. speak up. I couldn't understand a word he said, I thought he was performing some kind of ritual on me, so I hurriedly asked the fierce brother next to me: "How should I match your father's movements?" ?” Brother Meng said coldly: "You just need to stand and not move, that's enough!" Brother Meng's attitude was suddenly so cold, which made me very surprised, so I had no choice but to keep silent, while his father kept pointing at me and kept talking, what he said was naturally related to me. Brother Meng's father spoke for twenty minutes before he waved to me. Although I couldn't understand his words, I could understand the gestures he made. I immediately strode forward Go, came in front of him, he stretched out his thick and big hand, and pressed it on my shoulder. At that moment, I only felt a sudden itching on my shoulder. My body shrank involuntarily, and before I shrank, his hand also moved away. I quickly looked over my shoulder, and after looking at it, I couldn't help being stunned. On it, there was a dead spider, which was gray and white with black stripes. What made my whole body paralyzed was the spider's legs.All pierced through my clothes, and when they touched my muscles, the word "Gu" flashed in my mind like lightning, and I couldn't help but screamed! At this time, Brother Meng also came to my side, and I almost grabbed the clothes on his chest roughly, but at that time my body was frozen because of fear, so that I could do nothing, I just stared at him: "You ...What did father do? Tell me, tell me quickly!" Brother Meng said: "You quickly thank my father." I screamed strangely, and said: "I thank him? Why? He put a voodoo on me, and I still want to thank him. What kind of voodoo did he put on me? Tell me quickly, and get the antidote quickly. Me, quick! Quick!" I don't know what kind of poison has been placed on me, so I was naturally panicked. I finally raised my arm and grabbed Brother Meng's hand. Brother Meng said: "You should thank my father, he really did it on you. Gu, but that's what he did after he saw that you couldn't be part of us." I still don't understand: "What does this mean, please explain clearly." Brother Meng said: "This means that you can leave here at any time and go to your favorite place. However, within twenty years, if you reveal the secret to humanity and everything about us, then your Gu will be destroyed." It will attack, your throat will be blocked by invisible things, you will not be able to speak, you will not be able to eat, you will suffer great pain and die!" I stood dumbfounded, and murmured: "Twenty years... I remember." Brother Meng said: "You'd better remember it firmly!" He shook hands, and the drum sounded again. He led me away from the open field and returned to my residence. I lit the oil lamp and carefully observed my shoulders, but I couldn't find any traces. arrive! The "story" is finished, but there are a few things that must be added.First, within twenty years, I never mentioned to anyone my experience in the Miao District. Someone even asked me if I knew Ye Jiaqi, but I shook my head and denied it, because I was afraid of the poisonous poison.And now, it has been more than twenty years, so I am no longer afraid. Second, brother Meng described that if I didn't keep the secret for them, my "gu poison" attack, the symptoms were quite similar to "throat cancer".This made me think that there may also be a very close relationship between "Gu" and "cancer". Third, Ye Jiaqi is of course a pseudonym.One year after this story was disclosed, I received a letter accusing me of not repeating the old story even if I used a pseudonym. The letter was not signed, and the wording was more sad than accusatory. I know this letter is not signed. The reason is that the sender didn't want me to know who wrote the letter.But I already know who wrote the letter, and who else can express such sorrow over this matter as I do?Let's all forget about it completely!
