Chapter 392: Miscalculation
The canoe was parked on the beach outside the temple, and the guards had surrounded the canoe so that no one was allowed to get close. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Wei Rong saw Wei Youqing coming, hurriedly stepped forward, Wei Youqing asked, "How did the ant die?" Did you find anything? ā
Wei Rong replied: "The Jie Ant went to sea the night before, and now she has no clothes on, I think she met a pirate." ā
Wei Youqing nodded, and slowly approached the canoe, the body of the ant had been covered with a white cloth, lying straight in the canoe. Wei Youqing squatted down and opened the corner of the corpse cloth, revealing the pale face of the ant inside. Soaked in seawater, the face was swollen to the size of a basin, half of its cheeks and one eye had gone, and its lips had been gnawed away.
Wei Youqing felt nauseous and uncomfortable, and hurriedly put down the corpse cloth. It was clearly for the fish in the sea to gnaw, but it was recovered and sent back in a canoe.
"Who has ever seen the corpse of a jeopard?"
"It was a corpse found by a child, and the child was probably frightened and shouted for his life......" Wei Rong said with some shame, "When Wei Rong arrived, there was a large group of people gathered here. An old man said that she was bitten by a sea monster. ā
"Sea monsters? What is it? Wei Youqing sneered and said, "I've been on this island for a long time, why haven't I heard of a sea monster in the sea?" ā
"A lot of people say...... It was indeed bitten by a sea monster......"
Wei Youqing didn't bother to argue, waved his hand to stop Wei Rong's words, and ordered: "The sea monster is the sea monster, bury the person!" ā
Wei Rong said: "Little chief, the leader of the tea tribe is waiting here, she is the mother of the Jie Ant, she wants to hold a sea burial for the Jie Ant here according to the rules of the local people." ā
Wei Youqing hesitated, although he believed that Aoki's methods should not leave a trace, but he was still uneasy, after all, if Jieren found any clues, it would cause an uproar. Uneasy, he opened the corpse cloth again, but fortunately there were no other scars on the surface of the corpse except for the whiteness and swelling of the seawater bubbles.
Wei Youqing checked the canoe again, and suspected that this canoe was indeed the canoe that he rowed to the north end, and the person who stole the boat seemed to be trying to bring back the corpse of the jet. What can I do with it? It has always been popular among the natives to bury at sea, and after a while they have to throw the body into the sea.
"What about the child who found the body?"
Wei Rong looked around, shook his head, and said, "He's not here, a six- or seven-year-old native boy, maybe he was frightened and ran away." ā
Wei Youqing didn't feel that there was him, nodded, and ordered someone to let the mother of the jie ant take the jie ant. The leader of the tea tribe, Jie Centipe, is the mother of the ant, there are many children of the natives, and there are many who died in the past, although since Wei Youqing went to Pearl Island and brought the text and Langzhong, the death of children has been greatly reduced, but because the natives are the pillars of the tribe, the heart is naturally much stronger than that of the Han women.
Therefore, the girl did not show too much sadness about her daughter's death, she calmly stepped forward to bow to Wei Youqing, waved her hand, and two other men stepped forward to pick up the corpse of the ant, and put her on the bamboo and wood shelf bed on the side, the bed was full of a kind of colorful flowers, this kind of flower Wei Youqing recognized, it was the kind of small flower unique to Pearl Island, and now it has a nice name, called "Sun Flower".
The tea tribe wizard Jieping came over and lifted the corpse cloth on the Jie's body. Wei Youqing had seen the burial of the natives at sea, and knew that this was what the sorcerer wanted to do for the deceased, so that she could rest in heaven. The wizard Jieping chanted words around the Jiezi, and kept using a branch to pick up water from the earthen basin in her hand and sprinkle it on the stiff corpse of the Jiezi.
Something strange happened, and the water was sprinkled on the ant, and it quickly condensed into ice. The wizard stopped in amazement and looked at the scene before him. At this time, everyone found that the body of the jeopy ant was frozen into ice, and it was only because the jeopy ant was naked, so it was difficult for everyone to touch her body. Even though she looked stiff, she was just a dead person.
What's even stranger is that the ant's lower abdomen is soft, and the water dripping on it does not freeze. Wei Youqing naturally understood that this was the poison of the flying ants that finally made the ants condense into ice, this is nothing, the ants violated the ban on becoming a temple, and when they went out to sea at night and encountered flying ants, they couldn't complain about others.
But the lower abdomen of the ant does not freeze because the uterus was burned by Aoki, as long as someone sees the abnormality, put aside her belly, you can naturally see the clues. Wei Youqing scolded Aoki again a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, but he had to think about how to cover him up, and said in his heart that if someone had a lot of things to investigate, he would have to rely on the ethereal pirate again.
Thinking of this, Wei Youqing hoped that the person with a heart would jump out to investigate the matter, and let him see who wanted to go against him. He scanned the audience, but found no suspicious people, all of them looked at the ants strangely, and the rapede said with some incertainty: "Was she bitten by flying ants?" I've heard my grandmother talk about it before......"
When Wei Youqing heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, it was obvious that the person who had tried his best to steal the boat and worked hard to catch the ants had miscalculated, although the flying ants of the ant clan were powerful, but because of this, the people who had seen the flying ants bite people died. The natives present were not even sure that the flying ants would freeze after biting, so how could they wonder why the stomach of the ants did not freeze.
For a while, no one spoke, and no one could answer the Jeopede's question. Wei Youqing didn't speak, just waiting for someone to jump out to make a move, but who knew that no one jumped out to take it.
Seeing this, Jie Jie shook her head and sighed, and said, "There is a strict order in the Cheng Temple, and people surnamed Jie are not allowed to go to sea. It is a heavenly punishment for this child to be in the temple service and not obey the temple command. Wizard, try it, can you freeze her? You can't just hit the road! ā
The jeopede looked at the jeopy in embarrassment, and looked at Wei Youqing for help, hoping that the priest could help her. Wei Youqing remembered that she could absorb the cold on her body when she held the ant that day, and it was very comfortable after absorbing it. I wanted to try again, but the appearance of the ants in front of her made her a little disgusting.
Wei Youqing lifted the corpse cloth, put the ant back up, and slowly walked with his hands on the ant's body. Coolness entered Wei Youqing's body with his hand, and he suddenly felt cool and comfortable all over his body.
Wei Youqing didn't know what the cold caused by this ant poison was, although it was very comfortable, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. At this time, the "Three Worlds Cause and Effect Sutra" in the scripture memorized the day before yesterday appeared in my mind, and I suddenly understood in my heart that these flying ants landed on this sea with the fox country, and these so-called cold poisons were of great benefit to the fox clan exercises that I practiced.
