Chapter 16: Aunt Grass Ghost

Moreover, Long Teng told Qin Tian what happened during this time, and the two of them checked Tang Jue's left hand again, and they both felt that this matter was too incredible. The three of them discussed for a while, and Qin Tian and Chen Xiangdong pulled Long Teng out for supper, and by the way, they looked for the person who could help Tang Jue surrender. Long Teng hesitated for a moment and asked Tang Jue to go with him, Tang Jue said no, he stayed to study some of the herbs they picked along the way.

After Long Teng and the others left, Tang Jue closed the door, tinkered with those medicinal herbs, and then soaked the bag of sewing needles that Long Teng had bought into the sap of the poison arrow wood that they had scraped off at the risk of their lives that night.

According to Long Teng's temperament, he didn't plan to take the sap of the tree, after all, this is a very dangerous thing, but Tang Jue said, can you go back empty-handed when you enter the treasure mountain? You have to get a little bit of everything, in a bottle of mineral water. And said, don't look at this thing, it can save your life when it is critical! Long Teng thought about it, so he let her go.

After doing this, Tang Jue leaned back on the bed, and the recent rush made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, only a few days, but it seemed like a few years had passed. But the god of death made her sleepy, and she changed the TV channel with no interest, and I don't know when, she heard a soft sound outside the door in a daze, and she suddenly woke up, thinking that Long Teng had returned.

The TV is still playing the Qing Palace Crossing Drama, and the beautiful heroine is learning to ride a horse with a male pig. Tang Jue got up to open the door, there was darkness in the empty aisle, only the emergency light at the staircase was on, and there was no one.

Tang Jue frowned suspiciously, and was about to close the door, but saw a piece of paper diagonally inserted on the handle of the door, pale pink, like an advertising leaflet. She casually took it in. Sure enough, it is an advertising leaflet - Eucommia ulmoides bone strengthening pills, invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing the liver and waist, invigorating blood circulation, strengthening muscles and bones, used to treat rheumatism and paralysis, muscle and bone weakness......

There was a pattern printed on it, Tang Jue glanced at it, and secretly said that these useless things can only deceive the old lady in the countryside, who is so boring! Thinking about it, he threw the paper on the low table and poured water to drink.

But casually her gaze returned to the paper, and a few dark red traces came through the back of the paperβ€”there were words on the back of the paper!

Tang Jue quickly flipped it over, and a few big red characters were shocking: If you want to live, come quickly!

The handwriting was crooked, like the graffiti of a child just learning to write, but she didn't think it was a child's prank. Suddenly, a wave of ecstasy rose in her heart, and her fingers trembled slightly.

She didn't know what time it was, but Long Teng hadn't come back yet, so it wasn't too late. After thinking about it, she picked up the paper and pen at the bedside to write the customer's opinions, left a note for Long Teng, carefully took out a few sewing needles soaked in the sap of the arrow poison wood tree, and took the paper into a pair of embroidered boots and hurried out of the door.

Because it is a tourist town, it is still very lively outside the door, many vendors who have not seen it during the day have come out to set up stalls, some sell special snacks, some sell jewelry and souvenirs, the dazzling array is dazzling, Tang Jue is dazzled. She rarely went out before, because of her ugliness, even when she went out, she only followed her master to the mountains to collect medicine, and this body deity was a fool, and she almost never went out except for treatment. It's because she looks at these very novelties.

But at this moment, she didn't have the leisure to go shopping, and looked around when she got out of Yueyun Tower, and at the same time raised the piece of paper in her hand. At this time, the back was slammed, and a deep female voice said, "Don't look for it, follow me." ”

Tang Jue looked back, but saw a woman wearing a blue cloth shirt and pants and carrying a bamboo basket hurriedly walking forward. In this part of southern Xinjiang, women dressed like this can be seen everywhere. Without much thought, she followed the woman.

Although the woman was carrying a child on her back, she walked fast under her feet, and Tang Jue trotted for a while before catching up. The child behind her seemed to be asleep, leaning his little head against the basket.

The woman didn't speak, and she didn't stop to wait for her, Tang Jue felt strange and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, where are we going?" ”

The woman didn't look back, but said in a deep voice, "It's not far, you'll know when you arrive." ”

"Oh." Tang Jue replied sullenly, seeing that the two of them were silent, the atmosphere was a little weird, and he had nothing to say: "Sister-in-law, why did you come out with the child so late?" The children are asleep, beware of catching a cold. ”

The woman turned her head and glared at her, very impatient, and Tang Jue had to shut her mouth stupidly.

Shilipo was originally a small town, there were only two streets horizontally and vertically, the two only walked for seven or eight minutes, then passed through an alley, came to a bluestone paved path, the path was planted with tall phoenix trees on both sides, at this time there were still residual flowers on the branches, under the dim street lamp, a place was as red as blood Luoying. Everywhere the night breeze passes, the remnants of the branches fall down one by one, fragrant.

The phoenix wood has the reputation of "the leaf is like the feather of the flying phoenix, and the flower is like the crown of the phoenix", also known as the shade tree, at this time the green is dense, covering the sky and the sun. This boulevard is also full of tourists during the day, vying to take pictures, but at this time it is empty, and Tang Jue's heart rises a chill for no reason.

Xu was the experience of these days that gave her a deep understanding of human nature, and she turned her mind and secretly held a sewing needle soaked in the sap of the poison arrow tree in her hand. You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

The woman walked ahead, without stopping for a moment, and in a moment she crossed the boulevard.

At the end of the boulevard is a huge lake, and the white mist on the surface of the lake is shimmering with the white mist of the moon in the sky, and the mountains in the distance are like a fairyland.

The woman walked around the lake, not on the normal cobblestone path by the lake, but on a path up the mountain.

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow. The dew drops hanging between the blades of grass quickly wet the beautiful ethnic boots on Tang Jue's feet. Tang Jue looked at the new shoes that Long Teng had just bought for himself, slightly distressed, and couldn't help but ask again: "Sister-in-law, how far is it?" ”

The woman didn't look back, but said, "It's not far away, it's just ahead." ”

Tang Jue sighed, saw that the woman was willing to speak, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know who the person looking for me is?" ”

The woman turned around and said, "I don't know about that, but the man didn't say anything, but only gave me the note, and I just passed it on in the middle." ”

"Did the man say anything else?"

"Nope."

Then there was silence again.

Tang Jue didn't care about this woman who cherished words like gold and had early menopause, and only thought that she would be able to see the strange person later, and she would be relieved of her detoxification. Thinking about it like this, my heart is less afraid.

After walking for about half an hour, the woods grew denser and overgrown with weeds, and it was difficult for the moonlight to penetrate again. They had just passed by a few houses, but the woman had no intention of stopping, and went straight inside, as if she were going to climb the mountain.

The woman walked fast, and Tang Jue had been very tired in the past few days, and her body had been poisoned, and gradually the two of them distanced themselves. Tang Jue was already sweating fine on his forehead, panting, and finally stood still with his support for a tree, and asked in a loud voice, "Sister-in-law, how far is it?" ”

The woman turned around slowly, with a sneer on her face: "Since you can't wait, let's be here!" ”

Before Tang Jue could react, he saw the child sleeping in the back basket behind the woman suddenly floated, staring at her coldly, his eyes shining with bloodthirsty red light, his big mouth was open, it was full of fine sharp teeth, and the saliva that exuded a fishy smell was dripping down.

Tang Jue suddenly felt a chill, she had always thought that the so-called grass ghost women were all goosebumps, withered old women, dull, like half a dead person. But this woman is carrying a child on her back, so ordinary that she can't be more ordinary, and she can be seen everywhere in southern Xinjiang, grabbing a handful.

Naturally, this child is not an ordinary child, but a Gu demon boy who has been refined by Gu magic and witchcraft, and the locals are also known as blood babies. It is said that it is made in a very evil way, using a freshly dead baby and needing the blood of a virgin to feed it.

The Miao people are good at raising Gu, and some of the Miao family's secret techniques of raising Gu are passed on to women but not to men, so the Miao girls who are managed by outsiders to raise Gu are called grass ghost women. Because the Gu is usually made into snakes and insects and other yin objects, long-term contact, the yang energy is damaged, making these women look old, and their faces are covered with furrows at a young age. Tang Jue took it for granted that the so-called grass ghost women were all old women who looked like old witches in Western fairy tales.

Tang Jue took a deep breath and calmed down, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Sister-in-law, you brought me here just to kill me?" ”

The grass ghost woman was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect this girl to be able to laugh at this time, was she braindead or not afraid at all? Puzzled for a while, she said, "Of course not, I brought you here because there are two old people who want to see you." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Tang Jue seemed to be interested, but when she said this, her right foot took a step back.

The grass ghost woman was immediately alert, and shouted in her mouth, "Want to run? With both hands raised, the Gu Demon Boy floating in the air flew behind Tang Jue with a "whoosh", and did not attack, but just blocked her way and stared at her coldly.

However, she was wrong, Tang Jue didn't want to run, but to take the most advantageous attack before the other party made a move against her. She took a step back, then kicked her right foot the ground, and after a few runs, she suddenly shot at the enemy like a cannonball, and slammed her head into the chest of the grass ghost.

Although the grass ghost woman has a very strong ability to raise Gu, the combat effectiveness of the body itself is very poor, and when she saw Tang Jue rushing over, her reaction was quite agile, and her footsteps slid to the side. However, although Tang Jue doesn't have much actual combat experience, she has also cultivated the true qi of the inner family since she was a child, and she has fought with two giant pythons, where can she escape? With his left arm stretched out, he grabbed her waist and threw her to the ground, holding a sewing needle in his right hand and piercing her eye socket.

As soon as the spell was recited, she felt the pain in her left eye, and she couldn't help screaming, her hands were raised, and more than a dozen black and red thick centipedes shot from her sleeves towards Tang Jue's door.
