Volume 2: Division Lieutenant Department Chapter 35: A Thought
"Lord!"
To be honest, Dian Wei was confused by the scene in front of him. It was obviously a small snake the thickness of a pocket version of chopsticks, but when it came out of the man's throat, it suddenly became so thick that it grew in an instant, like a thousand miles in a day. However, that's fine, it's strange that after it spits out a series of pickled things from that stomach, it can instantly return to its original form, which is really perverted!
The pile of pickled things spit on the ground was stinking, and Dian Wei couldn't even get off his feet, and when he reacted, the little snake had already flown back into the copper tripod in the woman's hand, and the copper tripod was also hidden by her. Facing the woman's contemptuous question, Dian Wei snorted, no matter what, since the lord had an order to kill the snake, he would never be soft.
It's just that Dian Wei just answered, and was about to step forward, but his arm was grabbed by Chen Nuo.
Dian Wei turned around, and Chen Nuo waved his hand, signaling him to let him calm down.
In the face of the stinking pickled things, Chen Nuo really didn't want to stay for a while, let alone spit out from the belly of that unbelievable little snake, how disgusting it would be. However, seeing the middle-aged man 'resurrect from the dead' had to move Chen Nuo.
What's going on?
The ancients believed in gods and ghosts, because many phenomena could not be explained, and they had to rely on gods and ghosts. However, as he saw it as a traverser, he still felt incredible about the scene in front of him. However, what could not be explained 1,800 years ago may not be able to be explained 1,800 years later. He faintly thought of the scene that was happening in front of him. That was before he was here.
In that life, he was obsessed with playing, and he also went to remote mountainous areas such as Yunnan and Fujian. In the mountains, he had heard legends about Gu worms and the like. It is said that some people will catch live creatures such as poisonous snakes, spiders, and centipedes and put them in a Gu, and let them bite each other until the last poisonous insect remains. Most of the people who harm people are in people's meals, or on their clothes, and often those who are killed die within a few days. But this kind of thing is a rumor after all, and not many people have really seen it, and it is too little to believe.
Of course, regardless of whether there is such a thing or not, if this legend is linked to what the woman in red did in front of her, it may be able to explain a thing or two. The copper tripod in her hand, as well as the spirit snake in the copper tripod, it was difficult not to remind Chen Nuo of this incident. However, it was obvious that if there were really Gu worms or something, although the woman in red in front of her could easily manipulate the 'snake Gu', she was not deliberately harming people's lives. So far, at least, the middle-aged man is still alive.
Facing the question of the woman in red, Chen Nuo motioned for Dian Wei to retreat, but he stepped forward, bowed his hand to her, and said with a smile: "The girl misunderstood!" We didn't know that you were saving people, so you acted recklessly for a while, scared the girl, and I hope the girl will forgive me! ”
"Oh, how do you know I'm saving people, not harming people?"
The woman in red smiled, her eyes stared, and she looked at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo didn't answer her immediately, he turned around and took a closer look at the middle-aged man. Obviously, the middle-aged man's previous extremely dirty face was stirred by the spirit snake in his body, absorbing and spitting out all the pickled things in his stomach, his face was already full of red light, and he became much more energetic. Moreover, from the joy on the old woman's face when she faced the middle-aged man, it was not difficult for him to discern that the woman in red did have the grace to recreate the middle-aged man.
Facing the woman in red again, Chen Nuo had to take off the 'femme fatale' hat that was buttoned on her head before to express his apologies. But he, in the face of this mysterious woman, still can't be completely relieved. Although he misunderstood her in the end, in the final analysis, it was caused by the spirit snake in her hand. Thinking that she can control this spirit snake and save the lives of one person today, then it is possible to take the lives of others at any time. If this terrible power is not dealt with clearly, it will be a catastrophe at any time. Both for others and for herself.
Of course, Chen Nuo knew that it was impossible to persuade her to give up these poisonous insects at this time, and she might not be willing to listen. All he can do now is to say what he wants to say as much as he can: "Whether the girl is harming or saving people, you and I don't need to argue." But the so-called good and evil are just a thought, so why should we distinguish them too clearly? As for whether a thought is a Buddha or a demon, it depends on whether the girl can maintain her original heart. Girl, do you say yes? ”
"One thought for a Buddha? A thought of a demon? What is a Buddha? What is a demon? ”
The corners of the woman in red's sarcastic mouth stiffened at the moment, and her beautiful eyes rolled, but she did not immediately refute Chen Nuo's words. She looked like a lost lamb in need of guidance. Chen Nuo didn't want her to be confused, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation and say a few more words to her. At this time, a personal guard stepped forward and reported to Chen Nuo that the two generals, Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang, had sent people to look for him because he had not returned to the camp for a long time, and now they had reached the other side of the stream.
"Oh, yes!"
Chen Nuo slapped his forehead, it turned out that it was not early! He had come here to beg for water, but looking at the pile of pickled things on the ground, it seemed that it was unnecessary. He glanced at the woman in red, not wanting that the woman had recovered from her stupe, so he just raised his eyes to look at him. Chen Nuo was shot by her extremely soft gaze, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, as if he was a child who had done something wrong, and moved his eyes away for no reason.
"Does the general seem to be ready to leave?"
The fragrant wind wafted in, and Chen Nuo realized that the woman in red had already walked up to him while speaking, and she was half-stretched, as if she wanted to pull the cloak on her shoulders for him. Chen Nuo's body sank, thinking of the legend about Gu worms, he knew that there was a way for clothes to touch Gu worms, seeing that she suddenly approached so deliberately, he naturally didn't dare to be careless, and quickly shook his spirits.
Chen Nuo was clever and took two steps back.
When the woman in red saw Chen Nuo behaving like this, she had already retracted her hand and pressed her mouth to eat and laugh. Eyebrows looked forward to it, deliberately patrolling up and down Chen Nuo's body, and asked with a smile: "Looking at the general's expression, is it possible that I am afraid that I, a weak woman, will eat you?" ”
It is indispensable to defend against people, let alone this 'thorny rose'. Chen Nuo straightened up, puffed up his chest, arched his hand to her, and said, "Sage and awe, how can I not do without?" What's more, under the temptation of such a beautiful girl, I, Chen, asked myself for lack of concentration and didn't dare to be careless. If I desecrate the girl by doing something indecent, it will be a capital offense! Excuse me, girl! ”
When the woman in red heard Chen Nuo say this, she chuckled: "General, are you making fun of me?" Thinking that a hero in a thousand-man array like you, how can you still be afraid of us weak women? ”
"You ......"
Chen Nuo's expression was cold, he felt that something was wrong, how could he listen to the meaning of her words, it seemed that he had fallen into her trap from beginning to end. His arrival, and her appearance, seemed premeditated?
Chen Nuo stared at her coldly: "Do you know who I am?" ”
The woman in red didn't have the panic she expected, she just smiled and said, "Like the general's armor, isn't it a hero who leads troops to fight, and isn't it a hero who kills the enemy in a thousand-person array?" ”
Chen Nuo's eyes kept looking at her, but from her face, he couldn't find any flaws. Perhaps, it's because I'm too careful. He retracted his gaze, bowed his hand to her, and said, "It's not too early, please forgive me for being too disturbed." Girl, let's green mountains don't change the green water. Good bye! ”
"Goodbye?"
The woman in red stared at him: "The general is saying that we can meet again in the future?" Since it's goodbye later, why should we part now? ”
“……”
Stupid, the current separation, of course, is for a better meeting in the future!
Well, Chen Nuo naturally couldn't say such sour words, let alone in front of a girl who didn't know anything about it. Chen Nuo straightened up, didn't explain much, and then gave up his hand, and quickly left here with Dian Wei and the others.
Facing Chen Nuo's distant back, the woman in red stood still. The night breeze came slowly, rustling with thatch.
The woman in red stroked her hair, suddenly laughed dryly, and said, "Although you can't answer my words, you are right, we will meet again sooner or later!" ”
……
"Leave some people behind and let them keep an eye on this place, and report anything to me immediately!"
Before Chen Nuo got on the horse, he remembered that the woman in red was always uneasy, and deliberately explained Dian Wei's two sentences. When Dian Wei heard Chen Nuo's order, he immediately surrendered his hand and made arrangements. Chen Nuo rushed all the way back, and he still needed to sort out what happened tonight. First the smoke, then the gold and iron, and then the howling voices, these were the things that led him step by step to this side of the village, and he was able to witness an incredible 'ritual'. It stands to reason that this is nothing, after all, the feet are on his own body, who can blame him for coming by himself? From beginning to end, he Chen Nuo never doubted it, but it was the woman's words that suddenly made him suspicious.
However, speaking of which, he was wearing armor, and the blind man knew that he was a general with troops, so there was nothing wrong with what she said. It's just that his sixth consciousness told him that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed. Although he was just passing through Luoyang, if this matter was not clarified, not to mention that he was not at ease, I was afraid that the matter itself would also find him. If it lets it find it on its own, and then rushes to deal with it, then it might as well take the initiative!
Looking back at the village behind him, quiet and mysterious, when will this mysterious veil be lifted?
