Chapter 23: The Legend of Gu Poison
A day later, this Nizi was still able to smell the smoke emitted by the cigarette butts, which was really jaw-dropping.
Song Qian asked a little suspiciously, "Xiaoyu, are you a dog?" β
Shangguan Yu almost went berserk when he heard this, his pretty face turned cold, and he gave him a slap and said, "You are a dog, this is my aunt's talent, understand, talent!" β
Following this clue, the two tracked down a mountain road, which was quite spacious and should be a business road that was often walked in and out of the mountains.
This also means that the two of them are close to the place where these killers are introduced, and the parents may be imprisoned not far away, or they may have been transferred, no matter which outcome is not good news for the two.
The two walked along the road, and at a bend, Song Qian suddenly found a clue.
The road is backed by a mountain on one side and a deep valley on the other, and when viewed from above, there are some horses, sheep and ants the same size as the grazing below.
At the bend, a vertical rattan was cut in two, drifting in the mountain wind, and if it weren't for Song Qian's father, who had taught him this knowledge, this clue would probably have been ignored.
In the mountains, rattan is generally meandering, and it is rare to grow straight, not to mention that the rattan is vertically down from a branch, but it is broken in the center.
Song Qian's father told him that there is such a legend in the mountains that the vertical rattan is used by the evil devil to send Gu, and whoever touches it will be possessed by the Gu and thus become the food of the devil.
Vertical rattan is very rare, and whoever encounters it has a strong curiosity to touch it, and this is the devil's attraction method.
For this legend, Song Qian doesn't know if it's true or not, but as long as it's a person in the mountains, there's nothing that he doesn't know. If this rattan is seen by the inhabitants of the mountains, they will never take the initiative to touch it.
Whether or not the killer escorting his parents has heard of this legend, he is afraid that he will not be so bored to break it.
According to Song Qian's inference, there is only one possibility, which should be the clues that his father left for him when he passed by.
It's just that you have to know what this clue means, and you have to solve the puzzle left by your father.
Song Qian smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "Father, father, when is it, your old man is still testing me?" β
Seeing Song Qian staring at Broken Vine and thinking deeply, Shangguan Yu urged a little impatiently: "Hurry up, when is it, and do you still have the heart to see the scenery?" Watch out for the dazzles to fall into the deep valley. β
Hearing Shangguan Yu's words, Song Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said excitedly: "I know my father's whereabouts!" β
Shangguan Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Qian like an idiot, and said angrily: "Are you stupid in a hurry, could it be that they will appear if you are stunned once?" β
Song Qian came back to his senses, knowing that he hadn't explained clearly, he pointed to the rattan and said, "Have you seen that rattan?" β
"See, what's so strange about seeing a rattan in the mountains, it's all over the mountain, you won't tell me that when you see this rattan, uncle, they appeared, right?"
Song Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you see anything special about this rattan?" β
When Shangguan Yu heard Song Qian say this, he glanced at it again, sneered and said, "Isn't it just straighter, that's your reason?" β
Seeing this Nizi like this, Song Qian simply told the legend in the mountains all at once.
This time, it was Shangguan Yu's turn to be stunned, and suddenly realized: "You mean to say that this rattan was deliberately broken by your uncle and left you with a clue?" β
"That's right, your words just now reminded me, this rattan is a legend about Gu, what does it mean if the rattan is broken?"
"Gu, it's broken?" After all, Shangguan Yu has an excellent IQ, and he seems to have grasped some key point in an instant.
"That's right, it's Broken Gu, look at the valley below, what do you think of?" Song Qian pointed to the deep valley below and reminded Shangguan Yu.
Looking in the direction that Song Qian pointed, there was only one exit from the deep valley below, and the deepest part was closed, that is, it could only enter and not exit
"You meanβBroken Valley!" Shangguan Yu covered his mouth in surprise and looked at Song Qian fixedly.
Such a turning point came out of Song Qian's mouth, and it was analyzed in an orderly manner, and the answer was about to come out in combination with various factors.
This time, Shangguan Yu looked at Song Qian's eyes a little strangely, as if he was meeting Song Qian for the first time.
Since I joined the army, I have learned a lot of things, and I have grown up very fast, and there are few people of my age who can compare with me, even in the army, I am a top existence, so after seeing Song Qian again, I feel that I am a person from two worlds.
At the beginning, he even despised Song Qian very much, thinking that he was just a waste, but after this period of contact, he slowly found that this guy still has a lot of advantages, tenacity, calmness, and even extraordinary talent, until now he is beginning to show his brilliance.
"If this guy had listened to his advice to enlist in the army for training, I don't know what kind of person he would have grown into?" It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world, Shangguan Yu sighed secretly, thinking of his life experience, and there was an invisible sadness in his eyes.
The two of them searched down the location of the rattan, and finally found a very hidden mountain path going down from here, and even found some broken branches and dead leaves that had been trampled on in the grass.
The two of them were in high spirits, and it seemed that the enemy was careless after coming down here, and did not deliberately eliminate the traces.
Maybe they also have enough trust in the strength of the killer brother, and I don't believe that Song Qian and the others can still chase here alive.
Song Qian and Shangguan Yu climbed down the downward mountain road, and the speed was not fast, because Shangguan Yu's injury had not yet healed, and Song Qian wanted to carry her several times but was refused.
Fortunately, the steel fork played a role, Song Qian pressed a button on the steel fork, and in Shangguan Yu's stunned, the steel fork turned into a short spear, just to be used as a temporary crutch.
Song Qian is in front, Shangguan Yu is behind, in case of an accidental fall, Song Qian can also catch it below.
Going down, she found two more clues, and after Song Qian's reminder, Shangguan Yu saw it, she couldn't help but be very curious about Song Qian's father, why didn't she see that her uncle was so capable before, how many mysterious places were still hidden?
There are two clues found by Song Qian, one is that a roadside weed was broken off, pointing in the direction of the broken valley.
Another clue is that two palm-sized stones have been turned over and scattered in the middle of the trail.
Seeing these two clues left by his father, Song Qian was extremely excited, and finally was completely convinced that his father and mother were below.
