Chapter 43: Maternal
So Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly instructed the strong man in the village to open the sealing stone on the ancient well, and then he looked into the well, only to see a large mass of black hair floating in the clear well water, and there were a large number of small insects crawling on the hair.
Granny Li found some insect repellent such as realgar and sprinkled them around the ancient well, and found a few thick hemp ropes and bamboo poles for the young people in the village to start scooping up the corpses.
The rope quickly lassoed Zhang Yulan's body under the guidance of the bamboo pole, and at this time, the insects quickly climbed up along the rope, and Granny Li immediately sprinkled the medicinal powder on the rope to stop them from spreading upward.
Zhang Yulan's body was very heavy, and it took a lot of effort for the five young adults in the village to pull her up from the well little by little, and at this time, everyone who saw her true face was stunned.
I saw that Zhang Yulan's body had become fat into a ball, and her hair wrapped her entire body, and those hairs were full of insects crawling around.
Cao Xiaoyang understood that this magnolia's body had become a nest for those Gu worms.
At this time, a young man asked Cao Xiaoyang in a trembling voice, "Mr. Cao picks up...... What's next?"
Although the anthelmintic drugs sprinkled by Granny Li have a certain repellent effect on these insects, but now that their number has increased, some insects still crawled into the range of the powder, and their bodies quickly turned into black liquid after touching the powder, and these black liquids covered the powder little by little, and then some insects have crawled out of the circle surrounded by the powder.
After a little discussion with Bai Xiaoyan, Cao Xiaoyang decided to burn the nest of this Gu worm with fire, and under the fire, the mother body of the Gu worm in the nest would definitely be burned to death, so that those faceless people could be saved.
So the villagers found a large amount of dry firewood to surround the hive, and poured oil on the firewood, and the hive was soon surrounded by raging fire.
The insects crackled in the fire, and after Zhang Yulan's hair was ignited, a disgusting stench filled the air, and everyone covered their mouths and noses and coughed, but they didn't notice that there was an extra black figure in the fire.
I saw the black shadow walking slowly in the fire, and it seemed that it was not disturbed by the heat at all.
"That'...... What's that?"
At this time, the black shadow had slowly walked out of the fire, and everyone took a closer look and found that it was a person who had been burned black.
As she moved forward little by little, the carbon-black shell on her body peeled off little by little, and in the shell was actually Zhang Yulan, who was intact.
I saw that her skin was snow-white, her long hair was flowing, and she was wearing a long red dress, and she didn't seem to be harmed by the fire at all.
Bai Xiaoyan immediately frowned when he saw Zhang Yulan, because he knew that ghosts and even Yin bodies, even if they were profound, would never be able to stay in the fire for so long and still be intact, it seemed that this Gu man was really not comparable to ordinary ghosts.
At this time, the crazy pillar happened to be in the crowd, and when he saw Zhang Yulan, he actually ran over with a smile.
"Wife, you're back, wife, you're finally back!"
At this time, several villagers wanted to hold him, but it was too late, Zhang Yulan smiled, opened her arms to the pillar, and the pillar hugged her, but also let out a miserable scream at this time.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that Gu worms crawled out of the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the pillar, and then he fell to the ground like an empty shell that had been eaten away.
The scene was so shocking that all the villagers unconsciously took two steps back.
At this time, Zhang Yulan's gaze quickly moved to Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan, she smiled slightly, and said in a somewhat charming voice: "It was the two of you who invited me out?"
At this moment, Cao Xiaoyang was very vigilant, he knew that as long as he was touched by Zhang Yulan's Gu worms, he would be in big trouble, at this time, Bai Xiaoyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, have you forgotten that you have a golden cicada Gu on your body, compared to this king of hundred Gu, her little insects can only be regarded as a few little ants." ”
Cao Xiaoyang knew that the Golden Cicada Gu could cure all kinds of poisons, but he hadn't practiced much except for the time when he was beaten by the Golden Golden Top Master, so he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
But as soon as this Zhang Yulan heard the three words of Golden Cicada Gu, she suddenly became interested, and slowly walked towards Cao Xiaoyang.
"You say that he has a golden cicada Gu on his body? How is this possible, as we all know, it is difficult to raise one of these golden cicada Gu in a hundred years, and the only one in Miao Jiang a few decades ago has long been missing. ”
Bai Xiaoyan smiled slightly. "If it's true or not, you won't know if you try it. ”
Cao Xiaoyang's heart trembled. "Lao Bai, are you mistaken, this is the rhythm of playing to my death!"
Bai Xiaoyan smiled and said nothing, and then Zhang Yulan flew in front of Cao Xiaoyang in an instant and grabbed his neck.
Cao Xiaoyang only felt a chill spread from Zhang Yulan's hand all over his body, and he wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all.
At this time, Zhang Yulan slowly stretched out her other hand and touched Cao Xiaoyang's heart, first showing a very surprised expression on her face, and then laughed.
"I didn't expect the Golden Cicada Gu to really be here with you, it's not in vain that I've been looking for so many years, it's really hard to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it!"
Saying that, blood-red claws grew on her originally tender and white hands, and she wanted to pull out Cao Xiaoyang's heart.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang felt a warm current in his heart spread around, and then his limbs quickly recovered, and he picked up his fist and slammed it towards Zhang Yulan's face, but now that he is only a mortal, it is difficult to hurt Zhang Yulan in the slightest.
He shouted for help from Bai Xiaoyan, but found that the guy had already run to the well, and at this time, Tang Wenwen also ran over, and the two guys seemed to be completely ignoring Cao Xiaoyang's life and death.
Cao Xiaoyang shouted, "What are you two doing!"
At this time, Bai Xiaoyan suddenly turned around, only to see a huge white worm lying on his fan, this worm was half an adult's arm's length, in addition to the snow-white body, its head also had black scissor-like mouthparts, which looked very terrifying.
Bai Xiaoyan smiled and said to Cao Xiaoyang: "Chartered man, look at how fat this thing is, if you fry it in oil, you can eat it for several days." ”
"your Lao Bai, just this thing, it looks more disgusting than shi, even if you give Lao Tzu a million Lao Tzu, you won't eat a bite. ”
Tang Wenwen pinched her nose on the side and said, "You two are really disgusting." ”
Hearing their strange conversation, Zhang Yulan seemed to notice something, and hurriedly let go of Cao Xiaoyang to look back, and when she saw the big insect on Bai Xiaoyan's fan, she immediately showed a frightened look.
Bai Xiaoyan said: "Miss Zhang is really too simple, didn't she lose the corn to pick up the watermelon, and in the end, not only did the watermelon not pick up the corn, but she also lost it." ”
As he spoke, he threw the big insect into the air, and then cut it in two with a fan, at this time Zhang Yulan screamed, and then knelt on the ground.
At this time, the faceless people who were originally struggling violently suddenly all calmed down, and they spat out a lot of black liquid from their mouths.
Cao Xiaoyang suddenly understood, it turned out that the big worm just now was the mother of these Gu worms, and as soon as the mother died, these Gu worms also turned into black water.
Just now, Bai Xiaoyan deliberately said that he had a golden cicada Gu on his body, but in fact, it was to attract Zhang Yulan's attention, and then take the opportunity to grab the Gu worm mother behind her.
At this time, Zhang Yulan knelt on the ground with her hair draped, her originally fair skin had now turned yellow-brown, and her body had instantly lost a lot of weight, looking like a dying old man.
At this time, Bai Xiaoyan slowly walked in front of her and asked, "Say, where is the Gu Po, I know that it is not easy for you, so as long as you honestly explain the location of the Gu Po, I will let you live." ”
Zhang Yulan slowly raised her head and looked at Bai Xiaoyan and said, "How to live? Do I still have a way to live? I was given to Gu Po by my parents less than half a month after I was born, I grew up in the pile of Gu worms since I was a child, and I have grown into the appearance of no one or a ghost now, you tell me that there is still a way to live?"
Bai Xiaoyan shook his fan and said: "Life is short, the misfortune of a lifetime is nothing in the six realms of reincarnation, take advantage of the fact that you haven't made too much mistake and honestly go to the lower realm to reincarnate, and your life can start again." ”
At this time, Zhang Yulan laughed again, shook her head and said: "For me, there is no possibility of starting over, I am a Gu person in one life, and it is impossible to throw away this identity in eternity." ”
After saying that, a cloud of purple smoke suddenly spit out from her mouth, and Cao Xiaoyang and the rest of the villagers were immediately choked by the smoke and coughed again and again, and they couldn't even open their eyes.
By the time the smoke cleared, Zhang Yulan was long gone.
