Just after Li Kengqiang stepped on the corpse of the rotten chicken, his shoes were stained with black and red flesh. But now, a few minutes later, the edge of Li Kengqiang's right shoe has turned pure black, and as time goes by
As time goes on, the range of pure black becomes larger and larger.
This is what makes Zhang Fan and Li Kengqiang confused.
Zhang Fan moved the flashlight back to the dead chicken. When it was crushed by Li Kengqiang, it was still black and red, but now nearly three-quarters of it has turned into pure black.
"Even if an ordinary rotting chicken body is trampled to pieces, the contact area with the air is larger, and the oxidation reaction or other reactions are more intense, it should not change its color so much in just a few minutes.
My sister and I have seen dead pigs and chickens like this many times since we were young, and this has never happened to us. This is completely against the laws of nature."
Li Kengqiang said, "This is not the terracotta warriors and horses that have been buried for thousands of years and faded after being unearthed."
Zhang Fan pondered for a while and then said: "If it's not what I expected, this chicken must have been poisoned. There is a kind of poison that can cause dead animals to behave like this.
When the animal's body remains intact, the color of the body is no different from the color of normal death. Once the body is broken, the body will turn black in just a few minutes."
"The chicken was poisoned?"
Li Kengqiang said with some confusion, "To deal with a chicken, there is no need to use poison, right?
Isn’t this killing a chicken with a knife?”
Zhang Fan waved his hand, "This is not a way to kill a chicken, because the main purpose of the person who spreads the poison is not to kill the chicken, but to use the poison to gather the essence of the animal's body.
This poison is called Gathering Gu. Animals infected with Gathering Gu will have a very obvious black hole on their neck, which is where the essence in the body spurts out."
Wang Kengqiang walked to the chicken and rummaged around the chicken's neck. In the center of the chicken's neck, there was a blood hole about half a centimeter in diameter.
"It's true! It seems like this chicken is really poisoned."
Li Kengqiang said, and then he turned his attention to Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang, can this essence gathering Gu be cast on people?"
"Essence Gathering Gu is mainly used on people. A dying person can maintain his life for up to two months after inhaling the essence of others gathered by the Essence Gathering Gu. However, both humans and other animals can only use this method.
The method is to extend your life once, but if you use it again, it will have no effect."
Zhang Fan said, this is what is recorded in the "Secret Technique of Hundred Gu" that Zhang Fan obtained.
"In other words, if I am dying and about to die, and I rely on the Essence Gathering Gu to steal the essence from other people's bodies, I can live for up to two months. Once the two months expires, even if I use the Essence Gathering Gu to steal the essence again
Even if you steal the essence from other people's bodies, you can't renew my life. Is that what you mean?
Mr. Zhang?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
Zhang Fan nodded.
“Can the essence of chicken also be used on humans?”
Li Kengqiang subconsciously glanced at the chicken on the ground that had been trampled to pieces.
"According to the records in the "Hundred Gu Secret Technique", this method of extending life can only be used on the same species."
Zhang Fan replied.
"So that means this chicken has extended the life of another chicken?"
Li Kengqiang answered.
"That's what it looks like on the surface."
Zhang Fan replied.
"If this matter is related to Zhao Fushun, there should be a dying chicken in Zhao Fushun's hand."
Li Kengqiang added, "He went to such great lengths to keep a chicken alive. This chicken should be of great use."
Li Kengqiang's statement is still tenable. If this chicken is not important to Zhao Fushun, why is Zhao Fushun so important?
"Mr. Zhang, he is here to resuscitate a chicken, so what was he doing before running?"
Li Kengqiang asked.
"After feeding a person or animal the Essence Gathering Gu, the poisoned person will die on the spot, but the time when the essence is gathered and ejected is half a month later, and Zhao Fushun happens to 'run' home every fifteen days."
Zhang Fan said.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Li Kengqiang whispered softly subconsciously, "Does it mean that every time he comes here, he is trying to save the life of that chicken?
That’s not right! You just said that this life-extending method can only be used once."
After Li Kengqiang thought for a while, he continued: "Does he have other animals in his hand that are very important to him and need to be kept alive?
Every time he came here before, he kept those animals alive?
I'll look around to see if there are any other animal carcasses here."
As he spoke, Li Kengqiang started rummaging around. After rummaging for a while, Li Kengqiang said: "Mr. Zhang, come over and take a look. Is there another chicken here?"
Zhang Fan stepped forward and cut open the chicken's body. Soon, the chicken's body changed from black and red at the beginning to black now. There was also a black hole on the chicken's neck. Obviously, this chicken's body was
The chicken was also infected by the essence gathering poison.
Later, Zhang Fan and Li Kengqiang found several more such chickens. Of course, some chickens had been dead for too long, and their bodies had been torn by the wind and sun, and had turned black. These chickens turned black.
, there is a bloody hole in the neck.
"Why did Zhao Fushun use this essence gathering Gu to save so many dying chickens?"
Li Kengqiang's face was full of doubts.
Zhang Fan was also very puzzled by this. This was beyond Zhang Fan's cognition.
The two of them had been here for a full hour, feeling dizzy and nauseated by the smell.
"Let's go to the side road to rest for a while."
Zhang Fan suggested, "I'll make a call and ask about these things that are beyond my scope of knowledge."
Li Kengqiang nodded happily, and then the two of them walked towards the pit together, stepping over countless rubbish before reaching the road beside the pit.
Zhang Fan washed his hands with the mineral water in the car, smelled it several times, and then took out his mobile phone. Li Kengqiang turned his back to the garbage pit, breathing heavily. He took out his phone, which had turned completely black.
, the smelly shoes were thrown directly into the garbage pit.
Zhang Fan called Wu Jun. After all, Wu Jun was the leader of the Miao tribe. Although the tribe was not large, Wu Jun was not very good at preparing poisons, but he should know more about poisons than he did.
The call was quickly connected, and Mr. Wu's very polite voice came from the phone, "Hello, Mr. Zhang..."
"Clan Chief Wu, have you eaten?"
Zhang Fan first exchanged greetings.
"Eat, have you eaten?"
Wu Jun asked with a smile.
"Not yet. I'm calling this time because I have something to ask you."
Zhang Fan went straight to the point, "Do you know about the poison called Jingjing Gu?"
