Before Qin Muyue and Lao Mao could be shocked, Qin Wuji woke up with a groan and asked weakly: "Ye Guoshi, what is going on?"
Qin Wuji, who had aged several years, coughed and became much weaker, but the fierce light in his eyes no longer existed.
However, Qin Wuji was more curious about what Ye Fan said than his own body, and turned his head slightly to wait for Ye Fan's explanation.
"grandfather!"
"Mr. Qin!"
Qin Muyue and the others instinctively wanted to step forward to help Qin Wuji, but Ye Fan gently reached out to stop him, indicating that the old man should be buffered for a while.
Ye Fan asked the old cat to bring Qin Wuji the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed a few days ago. While serving the old man to drink it, he explained to everyone with a chuckle: "The fish soup you drink is not the real Tianshan snow eel at all, but very similar to it."
A dead mermaid who kills without sight."
"Let me tell you a custom first..." "In some remote places, people still retain the custom of water burial. They believe that when a person dies, being buried in water can wash away the sins of his life, and he will be clean when he is reincarnated."
"But when it comes to water burial, people are worried that the body will float away, unable to get the bones back for worship, or that it will crash into other people's areas and cause trouble."
"So when they bury their loved ones in water, they put them into a thick sarcophagus, then dig 49 small holes around the sarcophagus, and finally slowly sink it into the water."
"At the same time, in order for the corpse to return to nature and be reincarnated as soon as possible, they would also smear fish material on the corpse and the coffin during water burial to attract fish to gnaw in."
"If a fish eats too much, becomes full, or becomes addicted to eating, it will stay in the coffin."
"When you pick up the sarcophagus and open it on the 81st day, it will be full of fat and big fish."
"Using these fish to cook soup over low heat will make it taste very delicious, and there will be a thin layer of oil after cooling..." Ye Fan rubbed his nose: "It's just like the Tianshan snow eel I drank a few days ago.
"
"Wow..." As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, Qin Muyue turned pale and rushed out to vomit regardless of the pain.
In a short time, she vomited out all the Tianshan snow eel she had eaten today.
All the arrogance and majesty turned into fear and disgust.
The other poison-testing doctor also knelt down, his stomach churning and uncomfortable, but he hadn't eaten much today, so he could only keep retching.
Old Cat and the others also shuddered.
Although they had never eaten Tianshan snow eel, they had seen the soup made from it and combined with Ye Fan's description, they vowed not to eat fish again in the rest of their lives.
Qin Wuji, however, remained calm and asked: "Ye Guoshi, are you saying that the Tianshan snow eel we eat is a dead mermaid?"
"Real Tianshan snow eels are extremely rare. In addition to difficulty in breeding, they also have a harsh growth environment."
Ye Fan looked at Qin Wuji and smiled: "Of ten thousand eggs, only one or two will survive and become fish in the end."
"These surviving fish can become Tianshan snow eels that are free of all diseases after being baptized by the essence of the sun and moon and infiltrated with unique minerals."
"Because of its rarity, medicinal effects, and especially its huge economic value, some people have come up with the idea of artificial breeding."
"They will do everything possible to find the eggs of the Tianshan snow eel, and then try to reproduce them all."
Ye Fan patiently explained to Qin Wuji and the others: "It is difficult to survive even with ordinary breeding methods..." Qin Wuji made it clear: "After a series of experiments and research, they finally found that water burial can maximize the reproduction of Tianshan snow eels.
?”
Old Mao and the others were slightly surprised. They didn't expect that fish reproduction was connected with customs.
"That's right! The cool environment of the coffin in the water and the elements of the body's decomposition are very suitable for the living environment of the Tianshan snow eel."
Ye Fan nodded lightly: "And there is enough oil on the human body to allow fish eggs to survive, develop, and grow to the maximum extent."
"If my estimate is correct, Cihangzhai put the Tianshan snow eels that were about to spawn into a sarcophagus with corpses and raised them in captivity."
"After eighty-one days, open the coffin, take out the sterile eels for consumption or give them away, and then put the eels that are about to lay eggs inside another sarcophagus for cultivation."
"As the cycle continues, there is a constant supply of snow eels, either sold, auctioned, or given away."
"The variety is still the same, and the taste and appearance are almost the same, even fatter and whiter. However, the different growing environment makes the two completely different."
Qin Muyue, who had finally finished vomiting, felt nauseous again when she heard that the fat was white, and she rushed out to vomit again.
Ye Fan ignored the woman's miserable condition and looked at Qin Wuji and the others as they continued to explain: "Natural Tianshan snow eel can get rid of all kinds of diseases. If you eat too much of this kind of snow eel from the coffin, it will easily cloud your mind with fat and cause hallucinations."
.”
"In addition to its taste and meat texture being the same as Tianshan snow eel, its functions are completely different."
"I now suspect that in addition to his own psychological factors, the emergence of Mr. Qin's dual personality is also inspired by the dead mermaid."
"It's grease covers your heart, slows down your nerves, and paralyzes your body. It will make your condition and physical condition seem to improve."
"It's just like a person being chopped. There is no bandage, but an injection of anesthesia. It doesn't seem to hurt anymore, but the blood keeps flowing."
"If things go on like this, your nerves will become more and more fragile, your mood will become more and more irritable, and you will easily have hallucinations."
Ye Fan gave his own speculation: "Once Mr. Qin's spirit weakens, it will be difficult to suppress another demon, and it will emerge to control you."
"What?"
The old cat was shocked and lost his voice: "Mr. Qin's illness is also related to the Tianshan snow eel?"
Qin Wuji also narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not surprised. There were too many people in this world who wanted him dead.
"Of course, otherwise with Mr. Qin's willpower and physical quality, his condition would not have deteriorated so quickly."
Ye Fan turned his attention to Qin Muyue who walked in: "Qin Muyue just fired. In addition to being mentally disoriented, she probably also had auditory hallucinations..." Qin Muyue, who came in again, fell to the ground with a plop after hearing this.
The pretty face looked at Mark with a hint of surprise: "How do you know?"
Qin Wuji's voice dropped: "Mu Yue, did you feel anything was wrong before you fired?"
"No...no...I finished drinking the fish soup and talked on the phone with Senior Sister Li, and then a voice kept shouting in my head, saying kill him, kill him."
Qin Muyue lowered her head and squeezed out a sentence: "It made me very irritable and violent. I couldn't get rid of it no matter how I tried, so I ran over to grandpa for help."
"Then I didn't know anything."
She had calmed down a lot now and could recall some details. The moment before the shooting, she had the uneasy trance of a trapped animal.
"You also lied to me, saying that someone died in Mr. Qin's bedroom and asked me to run over and check."
Old Mao added: "Then you rushed into the study while I was leaving and shot."
Qin Muyue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't remember, I really don't remember."
"Grandpa, I really didn't want to kill you, I really didn't want to shoot you."
Her pretty face was in pain: "I don't know how this happened..." "Old cat, seal up the remaining snow eel soup and send it to Hengdian for testing to see if it has the same composition as corpse oil."
Qin Wuji sat up slightly: "Mu Yue, call and ask Li Hanyou to come over..." "Ding——" Qin Mu Yue was about to nod when Lao Mao's phone vibrated. He put on earplugs to answer, and soon
