Chapter 108 A White Rib
Behind the small door, many collections are displayed.
Master Yin introduced Li Fan enthusiastically.
"This is the fish bone of the Vedic fish. This fish became extinct three thousand to five hundred years ago. I also spent a lot of effort to collect this fish bone. It is said that the Vedic fish is extremely intelligent and can learn human speech. . If you eat its meat, you can understand the language of fish. I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
He walked up to a lifelike, winding giant snake that was over a thousand meters long.
Master Yin said excitedly: "This is the Congyun Sea Snake. It usually lurks in the deep sea and buries its body in the soil. I ran through most of the Congyun Sea before I caught one this long! I made it into a specimen. It took me a lot of effort.”
Then, he whispered mysteriously: "According to my research, in fact, the snake is not the original body of this kind of sea snake. There is a mysterious parasite in their body. This insect is extremely tiny. Even the spiritual thoughts in the foundation building stage are not easy. It’s unimaginable that it’s this tiny insect that controls a huge sea snake!”
…
Along the way, Li Fan's eyes were opened to the various collections.
The two stopped in front of two human skeletons placed side by side.
Master Yin pointed to the two skeletons and asked with some pride: "Fellow Taoist, may you see any difference between these two human skeletons?"
"Different?" Li Fan's consciousness swept away, and it seemed that they were just the remains of a mortal.
Both are the bones of men, but they are different in height and size.
But if you want to ask what the essential difference is...
After looking at it for a while, Li Fan shook his head: "I'm blind, I can't see the difference."
Master Yin laughed loudly: "Don't talk about you! I bet that no other monk except me in this sea of clouds can detect the difference between these two corpses!"
He pointed at the two skeletons, approached Li Fan, and said extremely quietly: "These two people are not the same kind of people."
"Not the same kind of people?" Li Fan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Master Yin made gestures with his hands and thought for a while, but seemed unable to think of suitable words to describe it.
After struggling for a long time, he clenched his fist fiercely and said with a confused face: "It's just a feeling, you know the feeling? They are obviously both human beings, but these two human beings live in different eras and in different regions. Maybe they They all look similar, and I dug them out from the bottom of Congyun Sea, but there is a very special boundary that marks the difference between the two bones..."
What Master Yin said was mysterious. After talking for a long time, he couldn't explain the specific reason.
Don't worry, just keep moving forward.
He suddenly stopped in front of an empty display stand.
He pointed at the empty booth, his face pale and his fingers trembling.
He wanted to say something, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"Fellow Daoist Yin, what happened?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.
"me……"
"Where's my baby!"
Master Yin was shocked.
The human-handed dog following him whined and drooped its ears.
He glanced up secretly and hurriedly huddled at Master Yin's feet, shivering.
When Li Fan saw this, he thought of something.
So he asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Yin, the treasure you are talking about cannot be a bone..."
Master Yin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, have you seen it?"
Li Fan looked strange and led Master Yin back to the door of this square building.
When he first arrived, a human hand and a dog bumped into Li Fan.
The thing in its mouth also fell down. At that time, Li Fan took a look and saw that it was just a bone. He thought it was just a dog toy, so he didn't pick it up.
But he didn't expect that this bone was actually Master Yin's treasure.
I saw him picking up the bones with a distressed look on his face and wiping the saliva off them.
Appreciate it carefully and caress it gently with the eyes of the lover in your dream.
That look made Li Fan on the side have goosebumps.
A slight cough woke Master Yin from his intoxication.
Li Fan couldn't help but asked: "Fellow Daoist Yin, I wonder where this bone came from? Why do you value it so much?"
Master Yin held the bone firmly in his hand, as if he was afraid of losing it again.
Staring at the bones in his hand, he looked a little dazed: "This, this is an incredible treasure. All my other collections can be lost, but this one is even more precious than my life."
Li Fan couldn't help but feel solemn after hearing this. He became really curious and looked at Master Yin with questioning eyes.
"Fellow Taoists must be familiar with the immortal miasma," Master Yin said in a show-off manner.
"In the beginning, this immortal miasma was only prevalent among mortals, but it had no impact at all on us immortal cultivators."
"Later, a cultivator was infected with it for no apparent reason, and then it started to spread among the cultivators."
Li Fan looked at the bones in Master Yin's hand: "What do you mean..."
"Yes, this rib belongs to the first immortal cultivator who was infected with the immortal miasma."
Master Yin smiled foolishly and rubbed his ribs back and forth like a treasure.
But then, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Li Fan didn't look surprised or excited at all.
"Why, it's such a treasure? Don't you feel trembling and surprised when you see it?"
Li Fan shook his head repeatedly.
"Hey, it's such a pity that fellow Taoist can't understand its preciousness." Master Yin sighed.
"The infection of immortal cultivators by immortal miasma is one of the greatest events in history. Its impact on the current structure of the world of immortality is only a major catastrophe."
"And how valuable are the bones of the unlucky insect who was first infected with the immortal miasma for research and commemoration?"
"Aren't you curious? Why can the plague on mere mortals infect immortal cultivators?"
"If we can figure out the source of this mutation, maybe we can solve the miasma of immortality from the source!"
"When the time comes, I will be a great being that will be remembered by the entire world of immortality!"
Master Yin was a little intoxicated in his own fantasy for a while.
After a while, when he saw Li Fan's still indifferent face, he let out a long sigh, looking like he hated the iron.
"You don't know, this one is called Su...what does Su mean? Forget it, every bone of this unlucky insect is priceless, and countless monks are fighting for it."
"I was very lucky to be able to grab such a rib."
"Of course, the most precious thing is his complete skull, which is stored at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
Master Yin was thinking about it, and his mouth was drooling.
Li Fan really couldn't understand this hobby and could only shake his head.
At this time, Master Yin suddenly reacted: "Huh? I don't know what happened when my friend suddenly visited me?"
