Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fish Gu
"Whew-"
Xiao Man rubbed Zhong Shao's face, and after he was much sober, he said, "Brother Zhong Shao, you are poisoned." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh?" Zhong Shao slowly sat up in a sweat, wasn't everyone chasing him just now?
"There is a thousand-year-old Buddha flower in the golden silk nan wooden coffin," Xiao Man said, "That flower was made into a kind of Gu by someone, and the coffin was just opened just now, and the smell has not yet dispersed, so you are anxious to see it, so you inhaled the fragrance of the Buddha flower and poisoned it." β
Zhong Shao's eyes widened and he said, "What the hell? Can smell also poison people? β
Xiao Man nodded and continued: "Not only smell, but also many methods, such as food, contact, Gu worms, etc., all of which can plant Gu poison on others. β
At that time, after the coffin was opened, only Zhong Shao was in a hurry to poke into the golden silk nanmu coffin, so he was the only one who was poisoned.
Xue Ling stood beside Yan Feng, looked at Zhong Shao and said, "Zhong Shao, I heard Yi Yi say that you two ate the fish in that pond before?" β
Zhong Shao's eyes moved to the left, then he turned his head to look at Xue Ling and said, "What's wrong?" Those fish wouldn't have a problem, would they? β
Xue Ling said a little embarrassed: "No problem, it's no problem, it's just a little bad anyway." β
"What's not going to be good?" Zhong Shao broke the casserole and asked.
Xue Ling glanced at Yi Yi, and was thinking about whether to repeat what she had just said to Yi Yi.
"Say, Xue Lingβ" Zhong Shao got up from the ground and spoke.
Yi nodded, then turned and walked to the side.
Xue Ling nodded and said, "The fish in that pool, it's ...... It's actually a Gu inducement that is being cultivated. β
"Huh? Gu Yin? "Zhong Shao was a little surprised, your sister* finally found something to eat, and it turned out to be Gu Yin?
"Yes, the method of making that Gu Yin comes from the Miao people." Xue Ling opened his mouth and said, "Because in ancient times, Miao Jiang was relatively late in civilization, so the local people have always maintained the habit of water burial, and this Gu Yin is taking advantage of this feature of water burial. β
"The sarcophagi outside are connected to the stone platform below, and you can see a lot of small holes in the sarcophagus wall, right?" Seeing that Zhong Shao nodded, Xue Ling continued: "Those sarcophagi were not all put in one at a time, but it took a long time to put them in one after another. β
"I heard Yi Yi say that the last sentence of the inscriptions on those sarcophagi reads the beginning of a certain year, which is in line with the characteristics of fish Gu production." Xue Ling glanced at Yan Feng and continued, "When the sarcophagus was just placed on the morgue, the grass ghost women would put a lot of small fish fry into it through the small hole carved out in advance on the sarcophagus, and the small hole on the sarcophagus was actually a fish prison, as long as the small fish got in, it was generally difficult to get out. β
"The little fish have no food when they get in, but they can't escape, they will feed on the corpses insideβ" Xue Ling paused and continued, "The little fish will continue to eat the corpses in this sarcophagus inside, and then they will slowly grow up, but when they grow up, the little fish will not be able to get out through the small holes in the sarcophagus, and at this time, they will continue to feed on the corpses, and when those corpses are finally eaten and only a pile of bones remains-"
"Those fish fry that grow up will kill each other," Xiao Man's last few words were particularly heavy, "until there is only one fish left, and this fish, because a large amount of corpse qi has accumulated in the body, is cooked with Miao Jiang's medicinal wine, and people eat it unconsciously, and then let people fall into Gu, is this the case, Xue Ling?" β
Xue Ling looked at Xiao Man and nodded, and then turned his head to look at Zhong Shao, who was not good.
After hearing that those fish grew up eating corpses in the middle of the way, Zhong Shao's heart almost collapsed, not to mention that for himself, those corpses might be corpses hundreds of years ago.
Those little fish ate the corpse, and he ate the fish again, Zhong Shao felt drunk just thinking about it.
"As for the so-and-so year Qi on the sarcophagus, it is actually a record of how long it takes to come here to open the sarcophagus and take away the Gu Yin after this sarcophagus is sent in." Xiao Man said.
Only then did Zhong Shao put his mind at ease, what he ate was just a small fish, this should not be those Gu Yin hundreds of years ago, at best, they were their descendants.
"Descendants are descendants, no matter how bad they are, they are stronger than those Gu Leads." Zhong Shao comforted himself in his heart.
Ling'er hid behind Zhong Shao and hugged Zhong Shao's waist, Zhong Shao would be a little embarrassed in front of everyone with such an intimate action, so he said: "Ling'er, don't be like this, there are so many people here, be good, let go of your hand first." β
"Ling'er doesn't let go," Ling'er buried her head in Zhong Shao's back and whispered, "Master, I'll tell you a secret." β
"What?" Zhong Shao pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"The time is coming, and if you don't stop it, it will be resurrected." Ling'er hid behind Zhong Shao and said timidly.
"When?" Zhong Shao read softly, and suddenly remembered what happened in Death Canyon.
In the process of entering the Death Canyon, Yun Ni has been emphasizing a point in time, and later after Zhong Shao unlocked the Qimen Dunjia on the stone door of the secret room, he found that the time recorded on it was the summer solstice. Unexpectedly, after the last bronze gate of the Death Canyon, when the summer solstice arrived, there was a strange scene of two ghosts carrying a sedan chair and Yin soldiers crossing the border.
In fact, Zhong Shao had another guess in his heart, that is, this point in time was related to whether he could get the jade. That is to say, if they hadn't entered the bronze gate at the time of the summer solstice, maybe they wouldn't have been able to take the jade at all.
In this way, then the Kundi Stone is the same as the Thunder Stone, and if you want to get it, you must go into the place where the Thunder Stone is stored at a certain time.
Ling'er just said that the time point is almost up, could this time point be the time point when you can take away the Thunder Stone? Also, what does it mean in Ling'er's mouth? Why is it able to be resurrected?
Zhong Shao turned around and held Ling'er's two small hands on her chest, she seemed to be afraid of the corpse in the golden silk nanmu coffin behind her.
"Ling'er, what do you mean by that point in time?" Zhong Shao asked Ling'er softly, "What does that "it" mean?" Does "it" refer to the corpse in the coffin? β
Ling'er nodded obediently, and then whispered: "Master, I will tell you the secret that Ling'er wants to guard." β
Zhong Shao's heart moved suddenly, leaned over, and listened to Ling'er whispering in his ear about the origin and process of everything.
Before everyone knew it, the lurking squad slowly approached everyone. (To be continued.) )
