Chapter 002: Gu Worm
The person under the eaves, Lu Luo could see it clearly, even if he covered half of his face with a straw hat.
It's Yan Xun.
It's like a world away.
The first time I said goodbye to him was the winter of Jingyao's fifth year. Although they met again, the memories were short and sad, and there was nothing to be missed.
The days I really miss are still five years of Jingyao; The real painful parting is also Jingyao's five years.
Lu Luo stood still and did not move.
"He found me." Lu Luo also deceived the heavens and covered up her birthday, but Yan Xun remembered her past life, and he knew her appearance, so he found her traces.
Lu Luo didn't remember his previous life, he didn't know Yan Xun's appearance, and he couldn't find him.
The sky was overcast, and the stratus clouds were low and low, and the black pressure was pressing, and it was going to rain cold at any time, and it was like dusk in the middle of the afternoon.
The trees on both sides stretched out their branches, and the ground was covered with thin layers of golden fallen leaves.
The person opposite met her gaze, and he slowly took off his straw hat.
He had come to see her, and there was no need to hide it when he was discovered.
I haven't seen him for another three years, he is a little older, the years have passed in the corners of his eyes, there are subtle lines, but his face has been carved with time and is more resolute and handsome.
He is becoming more mature and steady.
He looked at Lu Luo, but his footsteps did not move.
"From now on, I will turn a blind eye to the righteousness"
That's what he promised.
His deep eyes entangled her, as if he wanted to remember her appearance.
He must have been defending nearby, and through Lu Luo's Su Xiang, he observed that she had left Batuo Mountain. Coming southwest.
He may have fantasized that she had come to him, otherwise he wouldn't have shown up.
Such a fantasy must have tormented him, because when he went to Jiangnan three years ago, Lu Luo also fantasized about it, and she knew this kind of pain.
Lu Luo felt a dull pain in his heart after being numb from pain, like he was injured, even if he recovered well, he could still remember the pain when he touched it.
This is the shadow left in the heart.
Shui Changning also noticed it.
He glanced at Yan Xun. He glanced at Lu Luo again. Everything is understood.
Shui Changning, who was afraid of trouble, got into the carriage first, pretending not to know anything, he didn't want to get involved in anything.
Lu Luo slowly turned around. Get ready to get on board.
She didn't plan to see Yan Xun.
It doesn't make sense.
For Lu Luo. In this life, I can only do this with Yan Xun. She built a high wall in her heart, Yan Xun was outside the wall, and she couldn't flip through the wall herself.
Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Yan Xun taking two steps out. Eventually, it stopped.
"Take the initiative to avoid", did he finally remember this promise?
After Lu got into the carriage, he didn't lift the curtain, and I don't know if he caught up.
The carriage went all the way to Miao Village without stopping.
Almost all the mountain roads to Miao Village are bumpy, very difficult to walk, they walked for five days before they went to the so-called "boundary monument".
The boundary monument is a pass, lined with mountains that can not be seen at a glance, and it is very steep.
This is the only entrance that stretches for hundreds of miles.
When he tried to go any further, the horse neighed vigorously and refused to go.
"Here we are." Lu Luo muttered to himself.
No matter what she said, Shui Changning would not answer if he could not answer, unless Lu Luo specifically asked him.
Lu Luo is asking and answering himself most of the time.
The two got out of the carriage, and Lu Luo's heavenly eyes didn't see any problems, and there was no anger.
"Any questions?" Lu Luo also asked Shui Changning.
When asked about him, he shook his head and said, "No." ”
He didn't see a problem either.
What keeps the horse coming to a stagnation may be something on the ground.
Lu Luo found that the grass in the boundary monument was very strange, it was all jet black, but it grew thickly, and I didn't know the variety.
"Where's the rooster?" Lu Luo asked Shui Changning again, "Let the rooster go." ”
Shui Changning bowed his head.
The two roosters were released, and they swaggered over the boundary marker, suddenly began to convulse, and fell to the ground and died.
Lu Luo and Shui Changning looked at each other.
According to the people in the town, in this case, they must leave quickly and leave this place, because the goddess does not welcome them, otherwise they will either fall or fall into the Gu, and their death will be very miserable.
Lu Luo's carriage bumped here, and after walking for five whole days, her bones fell apart, and she almost fell off the cliff several times.
Go back and buy another rooster?
Lu Luo felt that the cost was too high, and she really didn't want to spend this time. Besides, who knows that the rooster that he bought back can survive to pass?
She'd have to figure out something.
"Give me cinnabar." Lu Luo said to Shui Changning.
Shui Changning was silent, got in the car and took out the cinnabar and handed it to Lu Luo.
Lu Luo remembered that his master had a book that recorded the spell of killing Gu worms.
Lu Luo was not very proficient, but he still tried to read it slowly.
While reciting a mantra, Lu Luo threw the cinnabar out with all his strength and scattered it over the boundary monument.
Her spell did not stop, using the official dialect transliterated from Miao Jiang.
Shui Changning was next to him, and he vaguely heard "how to decoction and boil rotten bones when thinking about it", etc., and he didn't understand specifically.
After reading for a long time, the thick black leaves on the grass sprinkled by cinnabar actually began to move.
A thin layer of black wind rose on the leaves.
As soon as the shadow started, a small trace of the dead leaf fiber of Bai Sensen was revealed, and the green leaves were eaten up.
A black breeze, like a thin veil, drifted towards Lu Luo and Shui Changning.
"Beware!" Lu Luo shouted and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Shui Changning also retreated.
The black breeze stopped when it reached the boundary marker, and floated out of bounds.
"It's a worm." Shui Changning's tone was flat and explained calmly.
Those strange black plants and trees are all attached to a layer of small insects as thin as gray.
The ignorant break in without letting go of the rooster and will be eaten alive by those bugs.
"I can't get by." Lu Luo frowned.
Lu Luo has been on the mountain for two and a half years, and he has an understanding of the descending technique and the Gu technique, and knows how to take precautions when encountering the descending technique and the Gu technique.
But a large area of insect guards, she can't break it, she far exceeds her ability.
Even a goddess with excellent witchcraft, with her own strength, I am afraid she will not be able to take down so many insects.
"What should I do?" Lu Luo turned around and asked Shui Changning, who was looking ahead, "Do you want to go back and buy a rooster again, or wait here?" ”
Shui Changning groaned slightly.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "Tomorrow at noon, the yang energy is the strongest, let's set up a formation, and it will rain heavily to see if we can wash it away." ”
Lu Luo shook his head: "Breaking in so rashly, won't there be more and more poisonous insects in the future?" Without the consent of others, it is difficult for us to enter Miao Village, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. We are looking for the stone court, and we can't get out for a while. ”
She disagreed with Shui Changning's approach.
Shui Changning washed the insects with a torrential rain, which was a provocation.
Entering other people's territory and daring to provoke others, isn't it seeking death?
Their warlocks, witches, and descenders were originally independent, and no one was worse than the other.
Before finding Shi Ting, Lu Luo didn't want to provoke anyone.
Shi Ting's life is the most important thing, and it is also the purpose of their trip.
Shui Changning just suggested, but Lu Luo disagreed, so he said: "Then wait for two days, if you can't get by, let's go back." ”
The mountain road was too difficult to walk, and they came here from the nearest town, and for five days the carriage was torn apart, and the horses were injured in their feet, and the people could not stand it.
Therefore, it is fundamental to wait for the rabbit first, wait to see if there are people in Miao Village, and find another way to get in.
Shui Changning's opinion, Lu Luo agreed.
They drove the carriage back a mile, as far away as possible from the boundary monument and the bugs, so that they could feel more at ease.
After stopping the carriage, Shui Changning and the coachman built a bonfire and prepared to spend the night on the ground.
Lu Luo slept in the carriage.
They were like this all the way, if they missed the inn and had to sleep in the open, Shui Changning slept on the ground like the coachman.
After eating some dry food, Lu Luo leaned on the carriage and searched in her mind for information on the witchcraft and descending techniques she had seen.
She fell asleep in a daze.
In the second half of the night, Lu Luo felt something in her mouth, her mouth unconsciously closed, and something soft and cool like jelly slid into her throat.
She was awake all at once.
