Manager Huang saw that we were speechless and knew that we were probably talking about a weak spot, so he struck while the iron was hot and asked:
"Do you know what yellow legs and widow's caps are?"
Thinking of the medicinal materials he had shown us before, coupled with this name, even if we racked our brains, we couldn't figure out what kind of animal or part of the plant it was, so we had to shake our heads.
Manager Huang must have known that the two of us couldn't explain the reason, so he continued on by himself: "The so-called Fei Huang is actually the legs of locusts, but not all locusts can be made into this medicine.
Only those locusts that have been fed with certain toxic medicinal materials such as rendan and aconite since childhood, and can produce strong anti-toxicity and grow up smoothly, are qualified to be dried and used as medicine."
Locust legs! It turns out to be that kind of thing. No wonder I just saw a yellow one with some hairs on it. I originally thought it was the tender stem of some kind of hairy plant.
This knowledge is too unpopular. Before we came out, Gui Granny didn’t do any science popularization. Only those who are professional in Chinese medicinal materials and have done some research on their origins can possibly tell the origins.
"Except for the part expelled from the body, most of the plant alkaloid poison contained in these locusts from snack to large is accumulated in its six legs. Because locusts have an open-tube circulatory system, the poison is accumulated in the corners of the body.
, it is not easy to be carried up by the blood and flow back into the systemic circulation, and a large amount of toxicity accumulates in the legs over time. However, removing the legs too early will lead to the loss of toxicity, so we usually keep the dried locusts intact and remove the legs before selling them."
The two of us were completely speechless. The other party's professional knowledge surpassed ours by several levels. He couldn't even refute. We could only keep cursing in our hearts why the ghost mother-in-law didn't tell us in advance, which made our reputations broken.
.
"And you probably don't know the details about the widow's cover. In fact, it is a body door behind the abdomen of the poisonous spider. The venom usually passes through there. All of them are similar to the yellow legs, which are organs that are infiltrated with poison for a long time.
, and it is difficult to preserve it after being separated from the body.”
Manager Huang seemed too lazy to continue to tell us the origins of the remaining flavors. Instead, he stood up. There was a strange buzzing sound behind him. He asked word for word: "Please tell the truth, what are you going to use these things for?"
What are the highly toxic medicinal materials for? Otherwise, you may not be able to walk out of this door completely."
"Manager Huang, what do you mean by this? At worst, I won't buy these medicines. Do you have to care about our personal freedom?" I noticed a very obvious threat in his words, which even reached a very abnormal level.
situation.
Because even if we are buying highly toxic drugs, as the manager of a pharmacy, other than not selling them to us, he has no right to do anything superfluous to us. Even the police only have the power to investigate. If we actually use them to commit crimes,
Before, even the law had no right to judge us, so why would he say such harsh words?
"That's the literal meaning. Please tell the truth about the purpose of buying these poisons. Otherwise, my babies will not eat human flesh for a long time."
His tone actually became a little weird at this moment. Although he had suddenly switched between two attitudes before, at least it still sounded like normal human speech. This time, it made people feel numb all over, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Creepy.
At this moment, I finally knew where the previous buzzing sound came from. It turned out that several huge dragonflies flew behind him. Their bodies were about as thick as a human arm, and their bodies were weirdly golden and blue, and their wings were
A faint cyan metallic luster is reflected on the eyes, and the two compound eyes are frighteningly large.
Even with my poor biological knowledge, I know that this is definitely not a normal animal. No matter how big an ordinary dragonfly is, it cannot reach this level. And with such a bright color, it must be deliberately fed and cultivated by people.
A heterogeneous species.
Cultivation? I suddenly understood, and quickly reminded the fat man: "Be careful, this is probably a voodoo. Although we don't know his identity, we are being targeted by someone who can use voodoo."
The fat man nodded and reached into his trouser pocket. There was the talisman he had just drawn before. It was just in case he had to go to the next city on the night trip to purchase. Considering that the two of us had been dealing with unclean things recently,
You have to deal with them, so be prepared to use them for self-defense.
I just didn't expect that I didn't encounter a ghost, but I encountered a real voodoo. I vaguely felt that this was not a coincidence, but I didn't have time to think about it carefully now, so I just regarded it as a preview for the evil witch cult in the future.
Although Gu is also a kind of existence similar to evil or monsters, it is quite different. The evil itself is not its essence or main part, so those spells that specialize in removing evil spirits and subduing monsters have little effect on them.
On the contrary, it is direct destruction on the material level, which is more useful for the poisonous creatures that also have flesh and blood bodies. Fortunately, the charms we prepared in advance include the Yang Fire Talisman. No matter how magical the poisonous creature is, it is just a worm, and it has nothing to do with flames.
Innate fear.
I kept calm and said word by word: "Yes, we are indeed not buying them to make medicinal diet, but do we need to tell you? Anyway, you can know one thing, we are definitely not buying them to harm others, on the contrary.
, we have to rely on them to save a person."
Manager Huang narrowed his eyes and said with some doubt: "Rescue people? Yes, although these medicines are highly toxic, if combined with other materials properly, they can indeed be used as medicines for some difficult and complicated diseases, but at the same time, these medicines, which are usually extremely rare, are needed.
Materials, then there is only one possibility."
The fat man and I stared nervously at him as he continued, thinking that he would directly tell us about our pursuit of the evil witch cult. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth and said:
"You want to raise voodoos, right? These are all the favorite foods of highly poisonous voodoos. If you only bought one or two of them, I wouldn't be so suspicious. But if these all match, then you can only
It means you are also a member of Gu Dao."
I thought to myself that although your guess was wrong, there really is no difference from the conclusion. We bought these materials just to use them as feed for her group of precious Gu creatures.
I know that when the matter has reached this point, it is no longer useful to just deny it. The other party has determined that you are closely related to the cultivation of voodoos. Blindly denying it will only make him think that you are deliberately covering it up.
"Even if this is the case, so what." I tried to sound more calm and calm, pretending not to care, "If I really just want to try to raise Gu, you are not willing to sell it.
