Chapter 24: The Worm Marrow

"This master, this is the wine and food you want, you use it slowly!" Xiao Er took a large handpan and placed Su Jin's wine and food on the table one by one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Su Jin saw the food, he began to roll up his arms and sleeves to prepare for a big fight, and raised his eyes to see Jiuyu lying on the chair opposite, licking the black chicken soup in the small bowl. Suddenly feeling that his behavior was indecent, he straightened up in a proper manner, took a small bite of vegetables with chopsticks, and teased his taste buds with delicious food, Su Jin narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

Jiuyu secretly used demonic power to tempt, and the food was not unusual. It seems that he is still secretly killing elsewhere, so be careful step by step. Seeing Su Jin's idiot look like he only cared about eating and drinking, Jiuyu sighed deeply, this nerd doesn't know how he died.

In the evening, the shopkeeper introduced Su Jin into the guest room. The tables, stools, pillars, and beds in the rooms are made of white marble. Behind the carved screen is a jade oval bath, Su Jin saw it, and immediately clamored to bathe, instructed Xiao Er to boil hot water for him, and asked if there were any fresh petals in the store.

Xiao Er looked Su Jin up and down, and secretly said that a big man would take a bath and what flowers he wanted, which was really hypocritical. He still smiled on his face: "This flower is difficult to raise, and there is nowhere to pick it now, but there is a good incense in the store, called 'soft fragrant jade', if you burn a branch, it will ensure that the room is full of fragrant fragrance and let you sleep peacefully." ”

"'Soft fragrant jade'~ This name is good, it makes people's hearts warm, you and I will light a branch, let the master smell it, if it is really good, this son will be rewarded." Su Jin liked this tune, and wanted to give it a try when he heard the name of 'soft fragrant jade'.

After a while, the shopkeeper sent hot water, saying that the incense was still being prepared, and asked Su Jin to wait. Su Jin climbed into the bath full of hot water, sighed comfortably, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiuyu bypassed the screen, came to the bed, picked up the burden that Su Jin had placed at the head of the bed, woke up the two little people, and whispered: "Bingyan, you are watching your master here; Flame, you follow me to take a look, the second little boy in that shop is a stone spirit, what he said about 'soft fragrant jade', there must be something strange. ”

"I'd better go, if I really want to burn something, my brother will do it too much. I went and burned their souls, and their bodies were unscathed, and they could not be found for a while. Ice Flame stepped out from behind the flames.

Jiuyu thought for a moment and nodded. Ice Flame rode on top of Jiuyu, and Jiuyu carried her to find the little second and follow her. I saw the man go down the stairs, go straight to a room in the backyard, and knock on the door: "Boss, are you sleeping?"

After a while, a lazy voice came from inside: "No, let's talk, what's the matter?"

"Boss, that young man, I always feel that something is wrong, I am afraid that the ordinary jade will not be able to control him, and the little one has come to ask you for some black 'worm marrow', which will save more trouble." Xiao Er stood in front of the door and respectfully replied.

"It's just a weak scholar, is it really as evil as you say? The black 'worm marrow' demonic aura is too strong, don't kill people in one fell swoop. "The hostess had some concerns.

"That's better than letting him break our rules here." Xiao Er insisted.

"Well, well, here you go. It's a pity that the master gave such a black one this month, and it was wasted on that kid!" A small white hand stretched out from the room, and a black stone was handed out.

Xiao Er took it with both hands: "Thank you boss." Then turn around and go to the front yard to get the incense burner.

Jiuyu hurriedly followed, what he saw just now was real, inside the stone, there were wisps of mist circulating, as if there was some living thing.

When they came to the front hall, the inn had closed, and the guests had gone back to their rooms to rest. The shopkeeper put the jade on the table and went to get the incense burner.

"Fox, should I burn this little er?" Ice Flame leaned close to Jiuyu's ear and whispered.

"No, it's too obvious, his master must be able to detect it. You set a fire and burn the black stone, and be careful not to let him see it. Jiuyu turned his head and told Ice Flame.

The pale blue flames rose and slammed into the black stone on the table, and for a moment, there seemed to be a cry of pain in the black stone. Xiao Er subconsciously turned around, didn't find anything, frowned and picked up the black stone and put it in his sleeve.

After the flame burns, the black stone is still a black stone, but the black gas inside no longer flows. Seeing that the matter was done, Jiuyu quietly returned upstairs with the ice flames.

Not long after, Xiao Er knocked on the door, saying that he was sending an incense burner, Su Jin hid behind the screen and asked Xiao Er to come in and help light the incense.

Xiao Er diligently moved the small copper incense burner in, put it outside the screen, took out the black waxy stone from the cuff, put it in the incense burner and lit it: "Childe, smell it, can this fragrance still suit your liking?"

"Well, it's very sweet, fragrant but not greasy! What a 'soft jade'!" Su Jin smelled comfortable and was full of praise.

Xiao Er secretly sneered in his heart, hum, wait until Ming'er you will know the beauty of this incense: "Master, you have a good rest, and call me again if you have something." After saying that, he withdrew.

At this time, in the backyard proprietress room, a man was laughing at the disheveled woman, his hand boldly reached into the woman's clothes, and the teasing proprietress was panting: "Oops! Enemy! Your hands are lighter!"

"Heh, who let that annoying little two come to ruin my interest again. What a beauty, you have to accompany me to be happy today!" The man became more and more dishonest, picked up the proprietress and threw her on the bed, possessed and pressed it, rubbed it on her, and pressed her mouth to kiss.

The proprietress didn't look over: "I don't follow, I don't follow!" You're the worst, and if you knew it would turn you into a stone man! I'll make you bad!"

The man panted and pulled the proprietress 's clothes: "What's so good about the stone man, like a walking corpse, where is it interesting to have me, a flesh-and-blood living person!" Little hooves, legs apart... ”

After the clouds and rain, the man hugged the beauty in his arms, and his hand lingered on the smooth and delicate skin: "Lovely man, tell me, what is that 'worm marrow'?"

The proprietress gasped for a long time before she came back to her senses from the love just now, and when she heard the man ask, she said to him leisurely.

There is a stone in the west, called "worm marrow", endophytic insect eggs, with independent consciousness, after turning into worms, such as silk and smoke, ethereal and difficult to distinguish. Mucus is secreted, and after the mucus solidifies, it becomes a hard shell, and the appearance is hard and colorful, which is very beautiful.

Parasitizing on humans and animals can make the host's memory disappear, and the behavior is at the mercy of the "worm marrow". The "worm marrow" enters the host's body by breathing, invades the brain, and highlights the shape of jade on the forehead, like a decoration.

Then, mucus is secreted and circulated through the bloodstream to all parts of the body. During the day, when the sun shines, the mucus will melt, and there is nothing unusual about the parasite, eat when it is time to eat, and work when it is time to work.

After sunset, the mucus solidifies as hard as stone, all living people become stones, and the essence and blood in the human body are gradually absorbed by the "worm marrow".

The next day, people wake up, they don't remember yesterday's events at all, they just subconsciously go to eat and work, in fact, everything they do, even down to every action, is exactly the same as yesterday. But it can only be like this, numb and repetitive living.

The darker the "worm marrow", the more dangerous it is, and the more harmful it is to the host. The people of Miaojiang often look for "worm marrow" to practice Gu, and they have tried all kinds of spirits, and their viciousness can be seen. If this stone becomes a essence by itself, it will no longer be called "worm marrow" but "dragon marrow", which is very terrifying.

The proprietress was subdued by this refined 'worm marrow', and there are six or seven towns like this stone city.
