Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1858

[Chapter 17]

So, in the end, Song Shufu allowed Chen Feng to come to his Demonstration Department the next day.

Most of the people who have chosen an obscure research field because of their own personal aspirations are open-minded people. However, such resentful people are not without.

Especially for Tianlingling.

Funding is the foundation of research.

The reason why the Tianling Palace project has eliminated the forest of gods is here. After all, the outcome is the decisive factor in determining the allocation of funds, especially such a large-scale project that is closely related to the lifeblood of the human race. If it can occupy the right to speak, it will basically be able to determine the direction of funds within the entire Tianlingling.

Chen Feng felt a little unhappy, but he couldn’t tell where he was unhappy.

In the evening, he returned to Ai Qinglan’s ward.

At this moment, Ai Qinglan’s entire body was drenched in a cloud of clear light. This group of clear light is constantly rhythmic, as if breathing.

Things are still getting better.

“Hey, Sister Lan, it’s okay for me to do this…isn’t it appropriate? If I accidentally hurt the mind of my fellow Shenbing Lin, I’ll… feel bad about it.” On

the second day, after a brief report to Ye Suqi, Chen Feng As promised, he came to Song Shufu’s Department of Evidence.

The Forest of Divine Plague is called “Lin” because it is surrounded by spiritual plants. In addition to building a spiritual barrier to restrict air convection, these spiritual plants can also secrete a large amount of pseudoalkaloids [toxic alkaloids].

Ordinary animals, walking into this forest, will be poisoned and die just by breathing.

Except for a few species, it is difficult for even general vegetation to survive here.

This is to ensure that the disaster caused by accidental leakage can be controlled to a minimum – at least not to be further expanded due to small animals and insects.

After that, there is a long stone road with no grass on it, and inorganic disinfectants – including lime, concentrated carbonic acid, etc., are regularly sprayed to ensure that no small animals will be interested here.

Inside, each Demonstration Department still has its own sealed circle.

Truly foolproof.

Even if the strong bombarded with spells, it was guaranteed not to cause chaos. [Of course, the “strong” here is limited to the strong of the “ancient method” standard a thousand years ago and five hundred years ago. It does not include the beast of longevity that the Immortal League today regards as an enemy. 】

Chen Feng finally met Song Shufu after going through a series of complicated procedures.

Song Shufu’s empirical department was not large—or rather, he was very small, and besides Song Shufu, there was only one apprentice who had just started Qi training. More than half of it is used to raise horses, sheep and mice.

However, a few instruments are excellent.

“Oh, you’re here.” Song Shufu showed a disinterested smile on his face.

Chen Feng saluted respectfully and said, “Senior Brother Song, I heard that you are the top expert in this field, please don’t be stingy…”

“Top expert… Hehehe, because there are not many people who study this corpse refining. Ma Wen.” Song Shufu mechanically laughed a few times.

Chen Feng was silent.

“Okay, do you understand the basic concept?”

Chen Feng nodded: “The corpse-refining horse plague is one of the dozens of ‘corpse-refining plagues’ that exist. The contagiousness of the corpse-refining plague is all It is not high, and there is no record that it can be transmitted to human beings. Most of the corpse refining plagues are parasitic diseases, and a few are fungal infections. There are several corpse refining plagues whose pathogens have not been isolated, and corpse refining horse plague is one of them. ”

Well, it’s okay.” Song Shufu nodded, and then smiled nervously: “Hehehe, if you really want to isolate and cultivate pathogens… With the technology of Xianmeng, gather a wave of high-level monks, The parasites can be isolated in a few days, and the plague takes a little longer, half a month to a month? The plague is only a few months. And now

? Said: “After all, it is human nature…”

In addition to the special rewards for cutting-edge projects, Xianmeng papers probably still depend on the number of citations to eat. In unpopular fields, the number of citations is small, the merit and subsidies obtained are less, and then the research in the later stage is more difficult, and this vicious circle continues.

For popular areas, it will be easier to obtain citations and obtain resources.

In older times, many mortals could not tell the difference between necrophilia and other plagues that changed the temperament of livestock. During the period from 800 years ago to 200 years ago, the plague of corpse refining plague was indeed considered a small popular. But with the establishment of the Yangshen Pavilion theoretical system, this plague of nerves and will has lost a layer of mystery. Further research on Microbiome and Jiyin Valley makes this field less and less secret.

“After all, this plague rarely infects the human race, and it is impossible to infect the monks at all.” Song Shufu said: “Even if it is only during the Qi training period, you will not be afraid of this plague. Even those who practice the plague spell don’t pay much attention. This plague.”

This is of course normal.

When making biochemical weapons, even if you don’t want to kill the entire enemy army, you have to make sure that they can make them diarrhoea and have no fighting ability.

If a virus can only tickle your throat at most, then the ghost is willing to use it as a biochemical weapon.

At this point, it is really different from Huangjing Plague Poison.

Huangjing Plague is a plague that immortals are afraid of, but the corpse-refining horse plague cannot even be infected by ordinary monks.

Chen Feng nodded and said, “I have indeed heard of it.”

“However, there is a very small probability that it will indeed infect mortals.” Song Shufu said.

Chen Feng stared at Song Shufu and said, “Could it be Senior Brother Song… ah, when I didn’t ask.”

“Nothing.” Song Shufu’s eyes were bloodshot: “It’s not a great secret. My grandmother, an ordinary grassland. The woman died of horse plague in corpse refining. There are some differences between the Xianmeng a few decades ago and now, I had not yet entered the Dao, and I could only watch my grandmother die a little bit under the spell.”

“It’s just, it’s ridiculous, the outer gate of Tianlingling who was stationed in my hometown was a mediocre person who had never seen the corpse refining plague. Hanging my life.” Speaking of

this, Song Shufu’s voice trembled with meaning: “For the first time, I know that the corpse refining plague is so terrible for the human race… It is a disease that tramples on innate wisdom, a disease that tramples on will and mind. Finally…”

He took a breath.

“Finally, my father applied for the hanging spell to be removed. Then, according to the regulations, my grandmother’s body was cremated – until now, I am the only one who believes that the real cause of my grandmother’s cause was drinking a broth of dead horse meat. .”

“This is not…” Chen Feng instinctively opened his mouth, and then closed his mouth.

He wanted to say that it was impossible. Since it is broth, it must have been boiled at least—the Qiangdi in the north are not on the southeast coast, and they like to cook the soup over water to ensure that the temperature of the soup does not exceed the boiling point. The Northland heavy oil diet, wisdom causes the temperature of the soup to be greater than the boiling point of the water.

Not much plague can remain active at this temperature.

Furthermore, it is impossible for this kind of broth to be drunk by the elderly alone.

But…

Song Shufu nodded: “Well, I thought so too. But, it’s just so absurd. The temperature of the soup did not kill those plagues. The whole family drank it, and only the frail grandmother suffered. But That’s it.”

Chen Feng lowered his head and said nothing. He personally does believe in Song Shufu, but…

from an “academic” perspective, Song Shufu’s personal experience and his long-term judgment cannot be used as an argument.

Song Shufu also admitted this. So he is so down now.

“I got sick with this disease.” Song Shufu said: “If no one studies, then I will do it myself. Anyway, I am not satisfied with the progress of my practice. Even if I don’t have longevity, I still have at least 10,000 years to live. Do it slowly. That’s it.”

From Chen Feng’s point of view, Song Shufu’s quickest way is to join the big project team, first become a high-level cultivator, accumulate prestige, and then attract a fund for the direction he wants to research.

After all, the Corpse Refining Plague hardly infects the human race and does not require urgent research.

But…some people are persistent after all.

Song Shufu continued: “The pathology report you gave me, although I don’t know why, concealed most of the things, but it made it clear that this was a plague spread by some kind of black-painted monster cannibalism, and then this patient was eating The meat of the black monster, right?”

Chen Feng nodded. The fact that “patients” and “black-painted monsters” belong to the same race… no need to explain, right?

“Do you know how old and sick animals are handled in our hometown?”

Chen Feng shook his head. This is not his area of expertise.

“Well, dead animals, because they are too old, the meat is hard and sour, and people who die from illness are not allowed to eat them. So, some people cut off large pieces of meat from those animals and fed them to the dogs, and the rest was cooked and beaten into flesh. Mud, mixed in hay fodder, and fed to the animals.”

This is indeed the norm. Animals that graze grass cannot digest the meat because they don’t have the teeth to chew it up, and they don’t have the corresponding digestive enzymes. However, this situation can be avoided by mashing the meat after cooking. Crude protein, minerals, protein and fat, vitamins, etc., are very rich in meat and bone paste.

On Earth, this is at least something unique to the industrial age.

“There was such a practice in the Qiangdi ancient times. Generally, the horses that died in battle were dragged back, the meat was eaten by the soldiers, and the bones were ground, mixed with grass and fed to the war horses. Inherited their fighting spirit.” Song Shu replied: “Of course, also inherited their plague.”

“This is the original origin of the corpse refining horse plague.”

“A warhorse that has been hit by this plague, walks with force, stumbles, and occasionally foams at the mouth, and is extremely aggressive. At the beginning, the sorcerers of the grassland thought it was the enemy’s corpse spell. The war horse was turned into a corpse.”

“It has been until today.”
