Chapter 107: Hairy
readx;? The little Taoist priest frowned and said, "Indeed, the evil qi has become heavier, this will not be ......"
"What is it?" I asked, leaning under the roots, tilting my head to the side, curious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The little Taoist priest muttered to himself, "No matter how we deal with them, we can't kill them." ”
The treasurer added: "It must be that you didn't get to the seventh inch." ”
The little Taoist priest said: "You can say that, but you can't say that......"
The Kushi and I were confused, both of them looked at him suspiciously, and the little Taoist stared at the movement outside, and explained: "They didn't attack us immediately just now, maybe they wanted to complete this third change, just like a snake shedding its skin." These things grow fast, and it may not be itself that is causing it to change, but some kind of host. ”
"Hosts?" I was taken aback, "they should be hosts in their own right, what else is there to live in them?"
The little Taoist priest looked at me and said, "You have seen Gu worm boarding and scab boarding, what do they have in common?"
I didn't think about it and replied, "It's all bugs!" As soon as the words came out, my eyes widened and I exclaimed, "You mean, these weird babies may have some kind of bugs in their bodies?"
The little Taoist priest nodded heavily and said, "So we can't kill them, because the real hosts are not dead." ”
"How can this be......" I lowered my head, a little incredulous.
The little Taoist priest said: "All kinds of evil arts in various places, have their own names, this may be a kind of art in the Western Regions, 蜧 (li, the black snake that can be used in the ancient book) Gu, the worm Gu is not like the Miaojiang poisonous Gu, to be practiced through a variety of poisonous insects, it uses only one kind of poisonous insects, called 'hairy', the locals call it 'dead and surrendering'! ”
"Hairy!" I went, and I immediately thought of the poisonous insect I saw in the meat ball in the tower, the name was too similar to itself, and I itched all over my body when I thought of the insect with dense fine hairs on its body.
"And where exactly does this bug lodge in the baby?" the curator grasped the point.
The little Taoist priest said lightly: "The throat is ......."
"No wonder...... When I saved this kid, I cut it off with its neck, and it didn't react, I see. The Kushi said suddenly.
The little Taoist priest turned his head sideways, looked at the Kushi and said: "If you just cut off the neck, the hairy color may not be dead, it will come out of the original host body and look for a new host, so if we really want to deal with these strange babies, we have to directly prick it in the throat, if you see a thick purple-black liquid, it means that the hair is dead." ”
"I saw this kind of bug when I was in the Demon Tower, it was not small, and it was hairy on its body, and I couldn't understand how this kind of bug could lodge in the body of a strange baby. "I raised my confusion.
The little Taoist priest turned his gaze back to the outside and said, "It may be a kind of hope." Those strange babies are about the same size as ordinary babies, but because they are dead, they will cause a puffy, dead state, which looks bigger than ordinary babies, but if they are hosts, then it is possible that these children themselves are real people, and after they die, someone wants to make them reborn through hair. ”
Hearing this, I was surprised and said, "This way of rebirth is too disgusting, what do you think they have become?"
Kushi sneered: "Your kid must not be married yet, if your child loses his life and becomes a cold corpse, don't you want him to be resurrected again?"
Although I don't like this, it reminds me of the novel "Pet Cemetery" written by the horror master Stephen King, in which the father digs up the young child from the cemetery and buries him in a mysterious and eerie Indian cemetery in order to resurrect him. This sounds simple, but the process is very rugged and terrifying, beyond the limits of human bearing, but in order to see their children again, parents are willing to go off the beaten path, just like the strange baby we see in front of us, it is the product of the extreme hopes of parents.
I once heard my grandfather say that a quarter of the tombs of the Loulan people are buried by children under the age of 10, and most of them do not live to old age. Therefore, under the difficult living conditions of the yellow sand, the people of Loulan began to seek favorable living conditions, longing for longevity and longing for future generations.
Probably understanding the change in the strange baby, we poked our heads carefully in the crevices of the roots of the trees, like groundhogs. On Baocai's side, Qiu Yue was alone observing the movements of the strange baby, but soon she also buried her head in the crack of the tree. Because the strange babies began to bark, and the cry was much hoarse compared to their previous ones, like a duck with laryngitis, and the voice could not come out, it was always a squib, but the hoarse voice was also extremely harsh, like sawing wood, "hiss...... "It'......s not crisp at all, it's messy."
It seems that the little Taoist priest has judged correctly, there is indeed something in their throats, and now these things are messing around, causing these hosts to scream in pain. I couldn't stand watching this miserable picture the most, and I was about to learn from Qiuyue to retract my head, when my knee was suddenly hit by something cold, I was so frightened that I exclaimed, my body fell backwards, and after cardiac arrest, I beat wildly again.
I thought it was hiding in and didn't clear the scene, and it was the strange baby who had already fallen in it that caught me, and reacted, subconsciously lifting his feet and kicking wildly, the little Taoist priest and the library master saw this, and they all bowed down, and were about to help me, but they heard something in the dark shouting depressedly: "Don't ...... Don't ......" However, because of my violent reaction, he didn't have a chance to speak.
"Son, don't kick, Brother Liu is going to kick you to death!" Hearing this voice, I stopped my steps and was stunned for a moment.
I heard a person's voice silent, and complained: "Hey, hey...... I...... I didn't even give the monster baby a whole death, I was kicked to death by you first, you ...... You...... It's too sensitive, too. ”
The little priest took the torch that was caught in the crack of the tree and shone it into the darkness, and the man saw the light and shrank back. Look closely, the person who came was Baocai, and he stood in front of the door with both hands, looking extremely depressed.
I smiled, looked back apologetically, and said embarrassedly, "You guys...... Why did you come here? Is it under the roots of this tree?"
Bao Cai came out of the crack in the tree because of the suffering just now, and when he reached our more spacious position, he dusted his sleeve with a complaining face, and then began to rub the wound that I had kicked and hurt. He looked like a big child, showing me without any scheming, wanting me to come forward and say a few good words, but now I don't have the pretentious heart to comfort him.
Qiu Yue couldn't stand the aggrieved appearance of Baocai, so she gave him a blank look, hugged the fire monkey, and replied to my words, "The road led by the little monkey, we saw it crawl over, so we followed, but I didn't expect this tree crack to be open." ”
Although I think the trees here grow tall, the roots are exposed, like a giant python, but I never expected that there is a hole under the roots, especially where we hide in, it is a giant tree groove, like a tree hole, can squat a few people in it, this tree hole is one meter five or six deep. It is that the tree crevice is the tree crevice after all, and it is impossible to stand and walk underneath, so you can only kneel and climb.
The little Taoist priest held the torch, took a picture of his head, turned his head and said: "I have never seen a tree here, but if you think about it carefully, the roots of these trees are twisted one by one, and there are cracks under the trees, don't they symbolize the keel? If we go down this tree, we may reach the ancient tomb." (To be continued.) )
