C284 Be Sure to Believe in Science!
You must believe in science!
Although Weiqing didn't really understand biology, he at least knew that it was difficult for a woman to bear children after she had reached a certain age.
In the eyes of the modern age, 35% of pregnant women were already senior mothers. Some people in their fifties who successfully became pregnant could even go to the news. As for those women who were extremely pregnant at the age of sixty, they became a sensation as if they were using their lives to give birth!
But for someone seventy years old with two feet in a coffin, even fake news wouldn't dare to say they could get pregnant.
But Zuo Ci said with reason: "This matter is indeed completely true."
Weiqing was puzzled: "How do you know?"
It was another old story.
Zuo Ci said that when he was young, it was about fifty years ago. He was only a disciple of Ethereal Peak who came to the mortal world to gain experience, so he passed by the Xianyang City to witness a strange matter.
It happened like this. Although the Rain-praying Town Water Attraction Project was very successful, allowing this 200 year old town, which hadn't rained for a long time, to regain its vitality, there was a group of experts who came to Rain-praying Town a few years later to investigate the reason why it didn't rain lightly. After all, in the world of ordinary people, one must believe in science!
The amount of water in other parts of the Xianyang City were all normal, why wasn't the Rain-praying Town lower than two hundred years?
This year, another group of experts had come to the Rain-praying Town, and they were both Chinese and foreign experts.
Firstly, the experts investigated the first problem, which was the most direct question, about the subsidence of the Rain-praying Town.
Simply put, even though there were many channels through which Rain-praying Town could bring water from Wei River, the loss of these water sources was especially fast. It was obvious that the pools that were just filled earlier in the morning were all useless, so by the afternoon, they had decreased by a large amount.
Therefore, the experts believed that there was a subsidence in the Rain-praying Town and that the water sources flowed through the subterranean loopholes. After all, there had been instances of this before and other places, such as a fish pond which had dried up overnight, were all related to subsidence.
But after some investigation, there were no problems with the geology of the entire Rain-praying Town. Instead, it was very beneficial for storing water.
At this time, some of the local citizens stood out and bit their tongues, saying that this was not an issue of the collapse, but rather the massacre of the Jun Family two hundred years ago, causing heaven to rage. The heavens wanted to punish the Rain-praying Town, and this saying was extremely similar to a certain part of Journey to the West!
Some people also said that it was the Jun Family person who transformed into a water ghost, and that he had to drink water every day in order to live.
It was a messy version anyway, but it was basically related to the Jun Family.
Experts wouldn't believe such nonsense. What kind of deities or ghosts exist in this world.
However, there were still experts who believed that this was a foreign expert who worshipped Jesus. Naturally, this was because he believed in the existence of gods, so he wanted to find the reason from the Jun Family. However, because it had been two hundred years, there was no way to verify the Jun Family's massacre.
Finally, at the suggestion of some villagers, the archaeologists set their eyes on the mountain top where the Jun ancestor's grave was located.
In the beginning, there were many people who objected, because moving the tombs of their ancestors was a very big matter, but after discussing it, they came to a compromise that the ancestors of the Jun Family couldn't touch the tombs of their mothers and children, which was the tomb of the seventy year old grandma who was killed when she was pregnant!
After all, these villagers were also curious. Was there really an old woman in her seventies who was killed when she was pregnant?
A strange thing happened. The moment the mother and son tomb was opened, the wind and clouds immediately rose, and it started raining cats and dogs. The thunder and lightning continued, and the sky seemed to turn dark. Without a choice, the experts could only temporarily take shelter from the rain. Once the rain stopped, they could then investigate further!
Actually, the experts were all guilty, how could they open a tomb and rain after Rain-praying Town which did not rain for two hundred years?
This was completely inconsistent with science!
What was somewhat surprising was that the heavy rain only stopped after a full three days and three nights. According to what Zuo Ci had said at that time, everyone from the entire Rain-praying Town had come out to rain, to celebrate the fact that they had finally gotten rid of the curse.
When Zuo Ci, who was playing at the Xianyang City, heard about this, he immediately smelt something unusual. He immediately brought his fellow disciples and rushed to the mountain top of the Jun Family's ancestral grave amidst the heavy rain. When they arrived at the top of the ancestral tomb, this mountain valley had turned into a river, and only the ancestral tomb was left in the middle of the water.
After saying all that, Zuo Ci's emotions became a little agitated. He coughed and said, "If it wasn't for me, my Senior Brother, Junior Brother and Little Sister would not have died!"
Weiqing was curious but he did not say anything, and quietly waited for Zuo Ci to continue.
Zuo Ci rested for a long time. It was unknown whether he was recalling the past or organizing his own words, but his eyes were red, and his emotions were a little agitated. After a long time, he took out the Maotai Wine from his bag and took a sip, and sighed: "Young people, are you not afraid of the heavens and earth, especially young Taoists, are you not afraid of the heavens and the earth. "The four of us waded across the river and entered the mother and son tomb. We found the coffin inside!"
"What I regret the most is not insisting on my judgement at that time!" "Although that coffin looks very ordinary and doesn't look strange at all, it gives off a feeling that it's a monster that can devour everything. I say, do you want to go back? This coffin is a bit strange, but senior brother and junior brothers and sisters, they said that we Taoists only have one coffin of our dead bodies. As senior brothers and sisters, they opened it up, and inside was a skeleton and a brown crystal ball!"
Weiqing could not hold it in anymore and asked: "Crystal ball?"
"I found out later that it wasn't a treasure, but the placenta of the child in the arms of this seventy-year-old woman!" He let out a long breath and said: "The ignorant us, who thought we had picked up some treasure, gathered around to see what it was. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, so we stood a little further away, and then, the placenta split open on its own, and a stream of blood light flew out, engulfing the three of them. The blood light turned into a Blood Dragon and rushed out of the tomb …"
Weiqing was silent. He wanted to ask but did not dare to.
"Did you want to ask me why I'm not dead?" It is precisely because of this holy object that I avoided a calamity, but I did not have the ability to save three of my senior and junior brothers. This is an inner demon that I will never be able to surpass in my entire life! "
