I was reborn and returned to the age of three and a half. Did my mother also have a heart transplant

"What is poison, and what is weirdness?"

Mo Yan comes from the end of the world, when there were only zombies, mutant beasts and mutant plants.

What weird, what poison, she felt these words were quite unfamiliar.

Is it unique to this time and space?

"Little Green, do you know?"

Lu Teng thought for a moment and said, "The word gu seems to sound familiar to me. I seem to have heard humans say it before, but it's been so long that I can't remember it."

"Gu means insects, so does gudu refer to poisonous insects?"

Lu Teng also didn't quite understand.

As for that weirdness, Lu Teng had never heard of it.

Pei Zaizai was a little stiff. "Yes, I heard a story from a Miao lady before. She said that in ancient times, the Miao people lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. There would be a very powerful high priest in the tribe who could predict good and bad luck and raise poisons. When he was very powerful, a high priest could have tens of thousands of poisonous insects on his body."

"Those Gu worms are very powerful. They are fed poisons from childhood and raised in an environment of cannibalism. Only the last king who emerges will become a successful Gu."

"Anyone who betrays the tribe will be fed poisonous insects, and the high priest can also use the poisonous insects to control disobedient people. They once ruled the entire Shannan, Shanbei, Lianghu, Shuangqing and most of our country. They were extremely powerful."

"So the high priests had a lot of wealth and treasures. But later, as time went by, the high priests gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. The storyteller said that the high priests went to pursue eternal life."

"So they must be hiding somewhere that ordinary people can't find, and then they established their new kingdom. My aunt also said that there are also legends that the high priests were too cunning and killed too many people. The souls of those who were killed became strange and came back to claim lives. That's why the high priests disappeared one by one. They didn't hide, but died suddenly."

"Anyway, the story is very scary. Aunt Lu just happened to find another underground palace like this. It's so big, but it doesn't look like an emperor's tomb. No emperor would put his tomb in such a place. So mom, I think this underground palace must have been built by someone like the Miao chief priest."

"So if that's the case, there must be traps in this underground palace and means to prevent others from discovering this place. Could there be poisons and weird things that are invisible to the naked eye?"

Poor Pei Zaizai, he racked his brains and almost came up with a story that could alert his mother and Aunt Lu by combining "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Swordsman" together.

As a result, Lu Teng and Mo Yan both laughed out loud when they heard these stories.

"Mom? Aunt Green?"

Pei Zaizai quit.

She was talking so seriously, okay? Why are mom and Aunt Lu laughing?

"If it's a poison, then it's still a living thing, a living bug, right?"

Pei Zaizai thought for a moment and said, "They may not be bugs. Some Gu are very small, as small as microorganisms, and cannot be seen at all. But once they parasitize in the human body, they will control the central nervous system, or devour the flesh and internal organs of the human body, eating the person empty, or live in the brain and control the person to become a walking corpse!"

"Kid, listen to less stories! This is impossible."

Mo Yan rubbed the little cub's head.

Green Ivy also nodded, "Yes, cub, that's impossible. In your words, the poisonous insects are very small, some of which are even invisible to human eyes. So how can such a small insect control the human brain?"

"The insects' brains are so small that they can only think about a limited amount of things. The human brain is countless times larger than that of an insect. It is completely understandable that insects treat the brain as food and eat it. But there is absolutely no need for them to control the human brain!"

"Humans are clumsy, inflexible, slow to walk, weak, and can't even fly. They are not even as free as insects. It makes no sense for insects to control humans without using their flexible bodies!"

"Uh——" Pei Zaizai didn't know what to say.

Because she suddenly felt that what Aunt Lu said was right.

Yeah, what do bugs control humans to do?

"But, that's what Miss Ke's story says. Those insects listen to the high priest. If this underground palace belongs to the high priest, the poisonous insects will listen to the high priest and guard this place. If we go down, we will definitely be attacked by the poisonous insects."

"There's no one alive down there!"

Mo Yan said very affirmatively, let alone living people, there is not even a living creature down there, so it is impossible for the poisonous insect that Zizizi mentioned to exist.

"That could be because the high priest is dead. The Gu worms won't die, they will just fall asleep. Once blood is fed to them, they will wake up."

"There are no poisonous insects down there. No one is breathing except for the treasure down there."

"Uh! Well, okay then!"

Pei Zaizai also felt embarrassed.

Is she too timid?

"Don't worry, we have mom and Aunt Lu here. Not only do we not have the poisonous insects you mentioned, but there is no so-called weirdness either. If there really is, then it's just right because your Aunt Lu is worried about not having any good nutrients!"

"As for the bugs that can control the human brain, they do exist, but they are definitely not in this world. In the world where my mother came from, there are mutant bugs with level 5 psychic abilities. They use their psychic abilities to create illusions for their prey, confuse and control them, and then they begin to devour their prey."

"But that's just for eating. They won't live in the human brain. That's meaningless. Of course, it's possible that sometimes they are full at one meal, but there are several preys and they can't eat anymore. But they don't want to give up the food, so they will leave eggs in the food they can't eat."

"After the eggs hatch, I'll let the children have a full meal, that's all. And don't worry, this world is not capable of producing a fifth-level psychic insect beast. If there is one, I'll kill it immediately, dig out its crystal core, and create a superpower for my child."

"Only the spiritual power core can give ordinary people without superpowers a chance to stimulate and create superpowers."

As Mo Yan spoke, she had actually already carried Pei Zaizai down the green vine ladder and reached the bottom.

It is indeed a village covering a large area.

That’s right, rather than calling it an underground palace, it would be more like a collective village built to escape from the world.

Every house inside is built in the style of living people, but the style is a bit old, and it looks like it is at least several hundred years old.

Most of them are built of stone and there are no luxurious decorations on the outside of the houses.

The front doors of some houses are even made of ordinary wood, and some have fallen off and tilted to the side due to moisture.

The only difference is the roofs of these houses, which are extremely exaggerated, with carved beams and flying eaves, and very high ceilings. There is even a nine-tiered tower built on top of the house in the middle.

This is not something that ordinary people would dare to make.

No wonder when looking down from above, it feels like there is a palace below.

"Yanyan, these houses are built so strangely. The roofs are so much bigger than the houses. No wonder they are built with stones. Otherwise, with such heavy roofs, these houses would have collapsed long ago."
