Chapter Thirty-Six: Laid Out

A black, purple, two-foot-long fleshy tongue stretched out of Chen Muqing's mouth, writhing weirdly, not to mention how penetrating it was.

Even if I hadn't seen or heard of such a state before today, this wouldn't be a human tongue at all, and it reminded me of what my grandfather had mentioned before, a kind of Gu that Miao Jiang had, called 'Tongue Coating Gu'.

This kind of Gu is an extremely yin and evil Gu, which is different from the ordinary Gu refining utensils that use utensils as dishes and poisonous insects to compete with each other.

Tongue coating Gu is a kind of Gu poison that uses the corpse of the deceased as a vessel, so that the poisonous insects gradually suck the resentment of the deceased in the process of fighting, and then become infected with corpse poison and yin poison, making it even more powerful.

Because this Gu refining method is too vicious, it is also very disrespectful to the deceased. Therefore, even in Miaojiang, Xiangxi and other places where the wind of witchcraft is prevalent, it is also regarded as one of the taboo techniques of 'blasphemy and ghost', and it belongs to a kind of corpse Gu.

Grandpa had been to Xiangxi for some reasons in his early years, and he happened to meet someone who dealt with this kind of 'tongue coating Gu'. I met a friend, and that friend taught him some knowledge about the Corpse Vessel Gu, including the method of cracking the Tongue Gu.

I was still young at the time, and when the old man told me about these things, I just listened to them as interesting stories, but I didn't expect that there would be a time when it would come in handy today.

Some of the things to prepare were basically ready-made, and I took out yellow paper, cinnabar, incense burner, and copper coins from my bag.

First, he lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner, and then placed them three inches above Chen Muqing's head. Then use a cinnabar pen to draw a talisman on the yellow paper, then tear the talisman into small pieces, and paste them on Chen Muqing's eight points, and press a copper coin on each hole.

Just as I pressed down the last copper coin, eight copper coins stood up in unison, and some of them even stuck directly into Chen Muqing's flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the suppressed fragments of yellow talismans sneered and smoked, and Chen Muqing's body also trembled, her eyes began to turn white, her mouth opened wider and wider, and the purple-black tongue seemed to be unable to bear it, and began to drill out desperately.

I saw the opportunity, twisted some cinnabar from my fingertips, and sprinkled it on the base of Chen Muqing's tongue with a wide open mouth.

A pungent fishy smell rose along with the black smoke, and a woman's scream seemed to sound in the room for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the big purple-black tongue fell off Chen Muqing's tongue, writhing, and bursting out a large number of thin, small, red, extremely disgusting and terrifying poisonous insects.

I quickly sprinkled all the remaining cinnabar, and I couldn't let go of any of the poisonous insects that came out of my tongue. After being broken by cinnabar, the evil qi of the corpse was soon turned into a pool of foul-smelling corpse water.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and then put another copper coin into Chen Muqing's mouth and pressed it against the coating of his tongue.

Then he slapped his palm on the center of his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't wake up yet!"

This sound was based on the method in the "Mantra of the Pavilion", and I shouted loudly, stimulating Chen Muqing's Lingtai entrance with my own yang energy.

As soon as these words fell, the eight copper coins on Chen Muqing's body fell down one after another, and Chen Muqing herself was also stunned, sat up suddenly, and spit out a mouthful of yellow stinky water.

At this point, he woke up, covered his forehead with a little headache, came back to his senses, and then saw me beside the bed, and asked, "Little pillar?"

"Isn't it who I am?" I breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked amusefully, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you say that something happened to Ah Xiu, why did you lie down?"

"I ······" Chen Muqing showed a thoughtful look, as if he had been stimulated a lot before, which made him unable to remember what happened for a while.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked up and said, "No, it's Ah Xiu who has an accident." But after I called you, she was suddenly fine, and... And then..."

Chen Muqing suddenly stood up, her face turned red, and she didn't know what to say next.

I raised my eyebrows, and only then did I know what was going on. It turned out that after Ah Xiu suddenly sat up from the bed, he kissed him without saying anything, and after that, he didn't know anything.

"She... Kiss you?" I looked at Chen Muqing with a somewhat strange expression, Chen Muqing's face also turned red a lot, and nodded.

But I don't care if he's shy or not, it's that the whole thing is weird at the moment. Just kissing the mouth will not make people fall into the tongue coating Gu, unless it is a Gu worm with tongue coating Gu in Ah Xiu's mouth at that time, and took advantage of the moment of kissing to send the tongue coating Gu to Chen Muqing's mouth.

As soon as this thought came to me, I suddenly had a very bad premonition: "It's not good. ”

I looked at the toilet with the door closed, my scalp was numb, and I just wanted to pull the ignorant Chen Muqing, but there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and several policemen rushed in, and I saw Chen Muqing and me in Axiu's room at a glance.

"Don't move! Someone has reported you for burglary and attempted rape!"

"What? we?" Chen Muqing looked shocked and dazed, the muscles at the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching, I took a deep breath, stood up obediently under the gaze of the police, glanced at the toilet, and whispered to myself, "It's been put a..."

There was nothing to say about the rest of the matter, Chen Muqing and I were taken to the detention center to make a record, dictate, and more importantly, to be labeled as suspects. As I expected, the police found Ah Xiu, who was 'disheveled' and 'overstimulated and mixed', in the toilet.

In this way, even if you want to confront each other, you can't do it, even if you want to get substantive evidence from the parties' mouths, you need to wait for Ah Xiu to wake up.

Chen Muqing and I spent a difficult night in the detention center for the first time as suspects on suspicion of 'rape' and 'robbery'.

Chen Muqing's face was dejected, of course, this does not mean that he thinks that he really did those things when he is unconscious, but because he knows that only Ah Xiu will call the police to make this kind of accusation.

But why? He couldn't figure it out.

I sat at the other end of the room, my eyes closed, sorting through what had happened over the past few days. There is no doubt that the whole thing starts with the love triangle of expressions, and I am afraid that there is some secret hidden behind it, at least I can know that there is a 'witch master' involved, and from the fact that Ah Xiu will suddenly kiss Chen Muqing, let him fall into the tongue coating Gu, and let me go to great lengths to break the Gu, just being caught by the police, Ah Xiu is involved in this matter.

Will Li Qiu's death have anything to do with her?

Yang Haoran didn't actually think that Li Qiu would commit suicide, he was very smart, participated in a KTV party, and then used his hand stained with corpse poison to attract my attention.

I suspect that he deliberately said that he saw Li Qiu's ghost to let me into this situation. Maybe he had found something from Li Qiu's body, but he couldn't be sure.

Thinking carefully and analyzing slowly, a little bit of the truth slowly surfaced in the fog, but this is only the tip of the iceberg, and a large part of the puzzle is still hidden under the water, and the mystery is still far away from me.

"Interesting..." When I opened my eyes, I didn't feel scared and angry, but found it funny.

I'm adventurous and inquisitive by nature, and since an unknown unknown enemy has gone to great lengths to put us in a detention center, there must be a reason for doing so.

There is only one reason I can think of, and that is Li Qiu's corpse. Usually the length of detention is 48 hours without evidence, and so much can happen in these two days, I can't sit still and stay here for two days, otherwise when I get out, there may be no clues left.

Thinking of this, I sighed softly and could only ask for help from one person.

I asked the police officer on guard to make a phone call, and after a few beeps, the other party answered, and after I briefly explained what had happened, the other party simply replied with two words: 'Wait'.

After waiting for more than an hour, a bail document was sent to the detention center. Chen Muqing and I were released on bail, and waiting for us at the door was a smartly dressed woman with glasses.

"Aunt Yan. I greeted the other party with a smile on my face, and the woman pushed down her glasses, as capable as ever, even though she was in her thirties, her body and temperament were still first-class.

Aunt Yan glanced at me and Chen Muqing, and nodded: "I happened to be dealing with something in Nanyue City, although you were released on bail, don't mess around too much, otherwise the boss will not be able to deal with it well." ”

"Well, I'll try not to cause trouble to Uncle Ji. I smiled helplessly, "This time there is really no way, I was put on a side, if I don't want to get out as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything." ”

Aunt Yan sighed softly: "Your surname is Lin, is every one of you explorers?" Forget it, where do you want me to send you?"

I shook my head and said, "No need, I'm not far from where I'm going." ”

The morgue, it shouldn't be too far, right?
