Luo Shixin wanted to put down the seven-star horizontal knife with one hand, and with a thumb with the other hand, the lid of the wooden box was turned up.

The moment the lid of the wooden box opened, a change broke out.

An object suddenly burst out of the box, and a pitch-black shadow flashed and went straight to the door of Luo Shixin.

Kratos, Wang Hu, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong didn't have time to exclaim.

Luo Shixin reacted first, and the knife that had not yet been put down was horizontal in front of the door.

With a soft clang, the pitch-black shadow hit the knife face and fell to the ground, and the shadow flew in mid-air towards Kratos on the side. Kratos reacted as well, leaning his head down and avoiding the blow.

The shadow missed the blow and flew towards Xue Yong.

When Xue Yong was in a hurry, Luo Shixin swung a knife.

As if with a premonition, the shadow paused just as it was about to slash the blade. Luo Shi was shocked by his confidence, and couldn't help but say: "It's too fake, can this thing dodge the knife?" Before he could finish speaking, he saw the shadow fall straight down and fall to the ground.

At first glance, it was a flying insect. But in a moment, there was a sudden boom, and the flying insects spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes.

Luo Shixin, Kratos, Wang Hu, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong, you look at me, all of them have numb scalps, cold backs, and an inexplicable chill comes out of the bottom of their hearts.

Wang Hu said in shock: "Fortunately, it is the general who opens the box, and if you are any of us, where to dodge." God knows what will happen if this thing is targeted, this Gu magic is really terrifying. ”

Mo Hu'er was even more palpitating, thinking of the terrible consequences. I just can't wait to give myself two ear melon seeds.

Even Luo Shixin didn't dare to think about it.

They didn't know that that little flying insect actually had a big origin, and it was called a torture Gu.

Miaojiang is full of poor mountains and bad waters, poisonous insects, rats and ants. The living environment is harsh, and the people in the Miao village can only survive by loving each other and supporting each other. No matter how powerful a warrior is, it is impossible to survive alone in Miao Jiang. The vast majority of Miao people have the idea of single-mindedness in Miao Village, and attach great importance to the overall interests of the clan cottage. Because of this, they hated the traitors in their clan. In order to punish the traitors who betrayed the interests of the tribe, a Miao elder developed a torture Gu that made all the Miao people fearful hundreds of years ago.

The most terrifying thing about the torture Gu is the ability to reproduce, it can burrow into the human body. It reproduces and reproduces in the human body, feeding on all internal organs until all internal organs are eaten away.

The process is not fast. It is very slow and slow, and every day the tortured person can feel the feeling of swarms of insects wriggling in the body, eating away at the body in the body, and he cannot survive or die.

However, this bug cannot survive in the air for long periods of time. As soon as it appears in the air, it will blindly look for the host. Drill in and reproduce. If the host is not found after a certain period of time, it will spontaneously combust for mysterious reasons.

As for why this is happening, even Miao Jiang people can't say.

"It doesn't matter what a bug is! In short, Teng Yuandai attaches so much importance to this box, and specially puts Gu in the box, the thing in this box must be a treasure. ”

Luo Shixin's eyes fell on the box in his hand, and the box had already been opened by him, revealing the contents inside. The inside of the box is solid on all sides, except for a groove in the center that resembles a flame. Thin sheepskin, wrapped in a mysterious thing placed inside the groove.

"General! Be careful! Mo Hu'er screamed with some concern.

"Yes!" Luo Shixin responded. He placed the wooden box on the ground and carried the sheepskin with a seven-star horizontal knife. Picked out the contents of the box.

The sheepskin hung from the knife, and a flame-shaped token rolled to the ground.

Pull the sheepskin up close and take a look, and the sheepskin is densely written with horizontal and vertical handwriting. However, the font is not the handwriting of the Central Plains, nor is it the word on the box that resembles an oracle bone inscription.

"This seems to be the text of the Miao people, I have seen it in Tuyuhun! Not so sure, not mistaken, it should be. ”

It's Kratos, Kratos has a great talent for languages, and for more than a year he has been able to speak the Chinese language fluently, but occasionally he uses the wrong words, especially four-character idioms, and can't understand them. He had stayed in Tuyuhun for many years, and Tuyuhun was located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty at the junction of Tubo and Nanzhao, and had certain contacts with Miaojiang.

Luo Shixin asked him if he had it, Kratos shook his head like a rattle, he had a talent for language, but he didn't have any talent for learning, and the number of men he knew for more than a year was only a hundred, and the cultural process was in the early childhood.

"This should be the fire god Zhurong!"

The flame token on the ground made Wang Hu pick it up and said, "When I walked the world, I once went to the border of southern Xinjiang. I heard that the people there discussed the Miao people, saying that they believed in the god of fire and respected the god of fire, and the man standing in the flames on this token should be Zhu Rong. Teng Yuandai is an elder of the Miao clan, maybe this thing is his elder's identity certificate. He didn't hesitate to hand the token to Roshixin.

Luo Shixin stretched out his hand to take it, the token is not as mysterious as the wooden box, there is no sense of weight at all in the light and fluttering hand, put it on the tip of the nose and smell a faint fragrance, it is very refreshing, play for a while, then wrap the token in the sheepskin, put it in the box, and said: "Keep it for the time being, maybe it will be used in the future." We withdraw ......"

The group followed and disappeared into Meridian Valley Road.

Chang'an is now inaccessible, and Luo Shixin does not want to use his privileges and leave evidence of entering the city at night.

The five of them stayed in an inn near Wannian County, and then entered the city at dawn.

In order not to hide people's eyes, Luo Shixin and they found a small inn called an inn without a name, and the environment was not so good, so they could only stay overnight.

The shopkeeper of the inn warmly greeted Luo Shixin and them to the "upper room", nodded and retreated, holding the accommodation money received in his hand, and couldn't help but smell it, and was a little intoxicated.

As soon as I got off the second floor, I saw three fat mice in the shopkeeper running up, and said excitedly: "The shopkeeper, I have caught, I have caught, there are three of them." ”

The shopkeeper lost his mind for a moment and whispered, "How is it possible? You're kidding me, aren't you? ”

He is usually lazy and does not pay attention to hygiene, so that the cellar is infested with rats, stealing grain and beans and oil every day, making him head and two. Rat poison, rat traps or something are used, but the rats seem to be fine, but there is no effect. had no choice but to drive the shopkeeper down to catch mice, and there was not a single mouse shadow for three days.

The shopkeeper didn't want to do it, the shopkeeper had a bad idea, although the shopkeeper didn't catch the mouse, but because he was there, the rat couldn't steal anything, so he gave a bounty to fool the shopkeeper to continue.

As a result, on the first day, the shopkeeper caught three of them.

The shopkeeper scratched his head inexplicably and said, "I don't know the situation either, today is the same as a few days ago, there is not a single mouse shadow." But just now, the rats ran out of their holes with screams as if they were crazy, and fled in all directions, as if they had met a cat. There were more than 20 of them, and I was clumsy, so I only killed three. Not only mice, but also cockroaches and ants, and by the way, snakes. The same is true of the little snakes that the shopkeeper bought to make snake soup, and suddenly they tossed and scurried in the snake basket. ”

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and asked blankly, "When!" ”

"Just now, when the guests came. As soon as there was a commotion below, I heard the voices of the guests, and it was that time. (To be continued......)
