Chapter 251: Strange Old Man
"This is glass descending, that is, the head descending master fuses the head lowering technique with the glass, if this small glass bottle is placed in the hands of ordinary people, then the head descending master can manipulate the glass, and in the end, it can make glass fragments appear in people's bodies, making people die of pain." The witch explained in detail.
"Is it really that evil?"
I'm a little creepy, no matter what, I and the middle-aged man just now are also innocent, why did he do this?
The witch saw my thoughts at a glance, and she said cautiously: "As the saying goes, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, that head lowerer sees that you are not locals, so once he succeeds in lowering his head, he will use this to blackmail you, as long as you give him all the money, when the time comes, he will naturally help you untie the head lowering technique." โ
I kind of understand, the head lowering division is not looking for people at random, the other party has to find a fixed target to start.
"Shatteredโ"
The witch's finger pointed at the bottle again, and before, the bottle had cracked, and now, with a finger she pointed down, the bottle snapped, shattered completely, and fell to the ground.
"Ahh
In the distance, there was a scream of pain.
"Hmph, ask for your own hardship." Hearing that voice, the witch snorted coldly.
I believe it completely, because from that voice, I can judge that it should be the middle-aged man before, the witch broke the other party's head-lowering technique, so the other party has to suffer some pain.
"If the guess is correct, this village is called the head reduction village, and everyone in the village, from the elderly to the children, is a head descending master." The witch's expression was a little solemn.
Fortunately, no one came up again along the way, which also made me a little relieved.
There are a few mountains in front of me, and I can vaguely see houses at the foot of the mountains, but the location is relatively remote, and the road is rugged and rocky, even walking is difficult.
"Are they all head lowerers?"
What the witch just said made me feel strange.
In our country, the head descending division is extremely rare, here, there are head descending divisions everywhere, if it is an ordinary person here, wouldn't it be a man with his tail between his legs?
After all, if you accidentally offend someone, I'm afraid you don't even know how to die.
Because of the witch's reminder, I had been watching everyone carefully after I had entered the village.
Soon, I discovered some of the differences between a head descender and an ordinary person.
Firstly, they are all gloomy and rarely have smiling faces, and secondly, the clothes they wear are all black.
You know, whether it is the elderly, children, or women, they are all dressed in black and look awkward.
And the witch told me that there are two main types of head lowerers, one is called the black-clothed head-lowering master, and the other is called the white-clothed head-lowering master.
The black-clothed head-lowering division is mainly descending the head, but the white-clothed head-lowering division is relieved.
"What's that?"
When I walked to the very center of the village, I noticed a large stone monument erected in front of me, and on the stone tablet was carved a strange person, who looked very strange, and there was a pregnant woman with a big belly under him.
"It's a silk bottle!"
The witch patiently explained to me.
The so-called Siluo Bottle, that is the highest state that every head descender wants to achieve in his life, that is, to surpass the Siluo Bottle and become a real demigod.
In order to attain the right fruits, one must suck blood, and at the beginning of cultivation, the cultivator sucks the blood of a pregnant woman's fetus every seventy or forty days.
That's why the stele is carved with a pregnant woman.
The rest of the time, whether human or livestock, must suck blood every day to live, otherwise all the work will be wasted, and whenever night falls, the head descender who cultivates this will drive his own head to fly up from his body, and take his intestines and stomach with him, and take it out into the air...
It will patrol the darkness in search of suitable prey, until its stomach and intestines are filled with blood, and then return to the place where the body is hiding, waiting for the sunrise to come. In the head-lowering technique, this can be said to be the ultimate head-descending.
"Good evil."
After listening to the witch's story, I felt chills all over my body, and I couldn't imagine that the scene of the head separating from the body could be described as weird.
Of course, according to my tracking, we quickly entered the valley, and when we looked up, there was a very dilapidated temple not far away.
There is a statue in front of the temple, not of a Buddha, but of a beautiful woman.
From a distance, the woman seemed to be crying, but when I walked in, I was stunned to see that the statue seemed to be laughing.
Whether he was crying or laughing, I couldn't figure out.
The witch walked to the sculpture and stopped, then stepped forward, taking small steps, a few steps forward, two steps back and then to the left.
"Tang Feng, what do you say she's doing?"
At this time, Cao Ning was very curious.
"It should be breaking the formation!" My heart moved slightly, and then I continued: "You pay attention to her feet, she is using the Five Elements Bagua. โ
Cao Ning looked at it intently, and was surprised to find that the steps taken by the witch were in line with the gossip arithmetic, and they had a sense of rhythm.
Of course, it's one thing to watch, but if you really want to crack it, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
After about ten minutes, the witch beckoned to us, and I walked over first, while Cao Ning followed behind my ass.
In this particular environment, I became more and more cautious, and the vision ahead quickly appeared in my mind.
Suddenly, my heart tightened slightly, and I lost the figure of Sunan in front of me, and I saw an old man.
When I probed the old man, the old man seemed to be aware of it, and he actually raised his head and said coldly: "Your guests are coming, you are not welcome, forgive me, forgive me!" โ
I was surprised that the other party was speaking Chinese.
"Old friends, no need for so much etiquette." There was a look of surprise in the witch's eyes, but she pushed open the temple door with her hand.
Obviously, the witch didn't expect the other party to notice either.
As soon as the door opened, I smelled a dark, damp, musty smell.
Looking up, there was an old man sitting on a futon in the middle of the main hall, and because the light was dim, I couldn't see what the old man looked like.
It's just that I instinctively feel that the other party is very old, and next to the old man stood a girl, a girl in red, who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, and the girl stood there quietly motionless.
Even when we people came over, she didn't react, as if the sky fell and it had nothing to do with her.
"Your legs ......" Apparently the witch was much more observant than I was, and was astonished when her eyes fell on the old man's legs.
"It's been scrapped a long time ago, and I won't need it anyway."
The old man replied nonchalantly, as if he didn't pay attention to his leg at all.
"Old fellow, where did the woman and the child go?" Originally, I was planning to sneak attack, but now that I have been discovered, I don't bother to talk nonsense, and I asked cleanly.
"Young man, come here, and I'll tell you!" The old man beckoned to me, and I instinctively looked over to the witch, who nodded.
I walked over to the old man.
Of course, I just moved, and the witch moved forward at the same time.
This purpose is also very simple, if the old man dares to do something to me, the witch will strike at the same time, without mercy, but also to deter the old man.
However, the old man turned a deaf ear, and his attention was all focused on me.
"It stinks."
When I walked up to the old man, I smelled a foul smell coming from the old man's legs.
I instinctively looked down, and where I saw it, my stomach was boiling and I almost threw up.
The old man's legs were rotting, and there were maggots in the rotten places, which looked extremely disgusting, but the old man did not feel the slightest feeling, as if they were not his own legs at all.
I was horrified to watch.
"If you want to know where the woman and the child are, reach for it!" The old man spoke calmly.
I really want to punch this old thing in front of me, but I don't know the safety of Sunan and the child yet, so I must refrain from it.
Of course, I didn't dare to relax for a moment, my energy was almost at its limit, nervously searching every corner around me.
Subconsciously stretched out his hand, of course, instinctively looked at the old man's hand, for fear that he also had maggots on his hands.
Fortunately, don't look at the old man's legs are terrifying, his hands are normal, but he is slightly thin, so I think of the word claws.
Soon, I could feel a mysterious fluctuation of energy, first passing through my hand and then into my body.
"The Soul Consciousness is so powerful? No wonder they are aware of my presence! โ
In an instant, the old man's pupils contracted, and my heart moved, and I understood why the old man did this.
To put it bluntly, when I probed the old man outside, it aroused the old man's suspicion, so the old man asked me to stretch out my hand.
"If you want to know where the woman and the child have gone, stay here tonight!" The old man's gaze fell on me, and he spoke nonchalantly.
For some reason, when I made eye contact with the old man, I felt panicked and a little creepy.
"Impossible."
The witch almost blurted out that she was adamantly opposed.
"Since you don't want to stay, there's nothing I can do."
The old man simply closed his eyes, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
"Nima'sโ"
I really want to slap this old thing to death, but I must refrain from probing the information of Sunan and the child, and I must not provoke the other party.
The witch and I made eye contact, and eventually, the witch said, "Alright then, we'll stay in the wing for the night, but we'll only need one room." โ
"No problem, Dong'er, take them to the West Wing." The old man still didn't open his eyes, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
Dong'er, the name of the girl next to the old man, I instinctively looked at the girl in red.
I wondered because the girl in red was the same as before, she still had no change in expression, and she didn't even blink her eyes, like a living dead.
Hearing the old man's words, she walked straight to the left.
I followed the girl in red and found that she walked so lightly that even if I listened carefully, I couldn't hear a sound, which reminded me of a kitten, because kittens walk without footsteps.
