The three of them were chatting outside the house, when they heard a commotion in the village, and then they saw the torches lit by each family, Wei Decai and Xiao Yao glanced at each other, and they were shocked, could it be that there was something wrong with the corpse that was taken away during the day.

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately got up, and Wei De went back to the house to get his bags, which was a habit that Wei De had developed, and he had to take all his belongings with him wherever he went.

Xiao Yao and the eldest lady followed Wei Decai, and the three of them lit a torch and walked towards the village.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, they saw several young strong men running towards the three of them.

"Sir is here! Sir is here! ”

Several people saw Wei Decai and immediately shouted in the direction behind them.

Soon, from the crowd that came, an old man came out, who was the village chief who led everyone to take away the deceased during the day.

The village chief staggered to Wei Decai's side, panting and said, "Something has happened to Mr. The body of the old man of the Wang family was still fine after he was brought home during the day, but just now, he actually moved by himself, and he kept shaking on the stretcher. It's like struggling! ”

"Take me to see if there is a goddess or an old priest in your village, if so, call it." Wei Decai walked towards the village while talking to the village chief.

"There is no old secretary, there is only one goddess, if you want to say the old secretary, it is you, sir, the goddess has already arrived, but she doesn't know what to do." The village chief hurried back.

The group soon came to the front of a stilted building, and saw a dead body parked in a vacant lot in front of the building, covered with a white cloth.

Xiao Yao and the eldest lady clearly saw that the corpse was twitching violently under the white cloth, as if it was about to come back to life.

"Has anyone ever touched a corpse? What about the other four corpses? Is this all the case? Seeing this, Wei De asked a series of questions.

"No, I've been here since I got it, and the other four are also in their respective homes." The village chief replied.

Hearing this, Wei Decai circled around the corpse and pondered deeply. Everyone held their breath for fear of interrupting his thoughts.

"It shouldn't be a corpse, it's very likely that someone used it as a Gu wood. Go and see the other four corpses, if there is no abnormality, carry it here immediately, if there is an abnormality, put it in place, and call me again! Don't touch a corpse! ”

Wei Decai told everyone.

"Where's the goddess?" Wei Decai asked again.

With Wei Decai's question, an old woman dressed in black and a little rickety walked out of the crowd, Wei Decai saw the old woman coming over, and asked directly, "Do you find anything abnormal?" ”

I saw that the goddess sighed, "I didn't find any other places, it's just that this yin god keeps squirming, and I didn't let people come forward to open it and see it, and now I can't say clearly, I heard that you are still in the village, so I asked someone to invite you over." ”

Soon, the villagers who had been ordered to go to the other four families arrived with the four corpses.

Seeing that the four dead bodies were normal, Wei De ordered them to be put aside, and instructed the villagers to find dry firewood and pile it on the outside of each corpse, ready to be cremated at any time.

After doing this, he said to the goddess, "Do you have a solid black cat there?" I suspect it's a Gu worm, so I might have to use a black cat to catch a Gu. ”

"Could it be that you're talking about Yin Corpse Gu? I'll get the black cat. The goddess was shocked when she heard this, and immediately ordered someone to go to her house and bring the black cat here.

It didn't take long to see a strong man walking back with a black cat with a pitch-black body and sending it to Wei Decai.

Wei Decai turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Brother Xiao, wait a minute, if this black cat runs around, please help me catch it back." ”

Xiao Yao nodded.

Wei Decai turned to the goddess again and said, "Later, you wait for my order, and after listening to the order, release the black cat, and everyone else retreats." ”

The village chief led everyone to step back and make way for a piece of land.

At this moment, only Xiao Yao, the eldest lady, the goddess and Wei De remained next to the corpse, and Wei De held a wooden stick and picked up the white cloth covering the corpse.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the corpse.

Xiao Yao pulled the eldest lady behind him and protected her thoroughly.

I saw that the deceased was wearing a blue Miao costume, his stomach was constantly bulging, and something was bulging on his limbs from time to time, as if something was trying to climb out of it.

Wei Decai took a torch and slowly moved closer to the corpse.

And where the torches came near, the wriggling immediately ceased there, and the other places moved more violently.

"Sure enough, it's a Yin Corpse Gu!"

Seeing this, Wei De must have said.

Then take a bag of cinnabar from your bag and sprinkle it around the perimeter of the corpse, which will enclose the center of the corpse.

Then he turned back to the goddess and said, "Put the black cat in the enclosure." ”

The goddess stood outside the cinnabar circle and carefully placed the black cat next to the corpse.

As soon as the black cat was put into the circle, it began to become restless and began to scream at the corpse. The surrounding people and the eldest lady's body tightened.

Where the corpse wriggled violently, the black cat barked even more violently.

Then the goddess took out a small gong and began to beat it slowly.

The black cat heard the sound of the gong and began to wander around the corpse.

At this time, Wei De summoned a man in the prime of life, handed him the torch, and instructed him to prepare the fire at any time according to his instructions. At the same time, he took out the knife in his arms and handed it to Xiao Yao.

"Brother Xiao, the black cat shouldn't run around, I will spew talisman wine towards the corpse later, you just need to hold the knife and slash at the white mist that spews at me, but remember not to touch the corpse."

Xiao Yao nodded.

I heard Wei Decai say to the goddess, "Let's start fishing for Gu." ”

The goddess immediately took the black cat in her arms, stood outside the cinnabar circle, took out some of the smelly powder from her arms, and sprinkled it on the corpse.

Sprinkled with this powder, the corpse's wriggling became more violent. The goddess continued to beat the gong in her hand, but this time the gong was at a longer interval, and with each strike, the black cat who was being held screamed miserably, and a black arm began to stretch out from under the clothes on the side of the corpse.

When the arm was raised, it burst out like a splash. Countless small black dots fell from above, and a fishy smell came from afar.

Xiao Yao could see that the arm was like it was piled up with sand, and it was knocked apart by a stick.

The countless small black dots scattered on the clearing, densely packed, would not be noticeable in the middle of the night if there was no torch illumination.

The villagers outside the circle were all stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see those black insects, began to eat the powder sprinkled on the corpse by the goddess, and soon the powder was eaten cleanly.

When the black insects ran out of food, they began to crawl towards the outer edge, but when they reached the cinnabar circle, they began to crawl along the cinnabar circle, as if they were very afraid of the cinnabar.

The goddess continued to bang the gong in her hand, the black cat kept barking, and more black insects crawled out of the corpse one after another, numb and full of numbness, all over the ground.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and there were no more insects crawling out of the corpse, so I saw Wei Decai signaling to Xiao Yao's eyes, and then took out a gourd, poured a mouthful of something, and opened his mouth to spit out a white mist, spraying insects all over the ground.

Xiao Yao immediately picked up the knife and slashed through the middle of the white mist in the direction of the white mist.

As the blade moved, the white mist immediately ignited a red flame, and then fell on the insects on the ground.

Those little black insects ignite when they are exposed to fire, and they die at the slightest touch.

For a while, the smell of burnt paste was everywhere around the empty field, and the insects in the cinnabar circle began to scatter and flee in all directions, but when they arrived at the cinnabar circle, they had to turn back.

Wei Decai continued to spew out white mist along the corpse, while Xiao Yao continued to slash flames with a knife beside him, countless flames scattered in the open space like scattered flowers by a heavenly maiden, and the smell of burning became stronger and stronger, making the eldest lady standing not far away feel nauseous, and finally couldn't hold back, ran to the side and squatted on the ground, retching.

And these black insects saw that they couldn't break out of the cinnabar circle, so they gathered together and hugged into a ball, wanting to use this to roll through the cinnabar circle.

Seeing this, Wei Decai and Xiao Yao would immediately make up for a burst of flames.

There were fewer and fewer bugs left, and gradually some bugs began to crawl back into the corpse's clothes.

Wei Decai violently sprayed a large mouthful of white mist on the corpse, and Xiao Yao slashed the white mist several times with a knife, and the falling vermilion fire began to burn on the corpse.

At this time, Wei De immediately asked people to throw some dry wood into the cinnabar, light the dry wood, and cremate the body on the spot.

The fire burned for nearly an hour before it slowly went out.

When the villagers wanted to come forward to watch, but Wei Decai stopped them in front of him, and ordered the goddess to strike the gong again, and in the cry of the black cat, I saw that in the ashes, many black insects crawled out.

Only then did Xiao Yao understand that it seemed that ordinary flames could not kill them at all, and only with this vermilion fire could they have an effect.

Wei Decai and Xiao Yao continued to cooperate, releasing Zhu Huo and constantly burning the black insects that crawled out.

It wasn't until I heard the crowing of a rooster in the village that no more insects crawled out.

Wei Decai sprinkled some cinnabar along the original cinnabar circle, and at the same time ordered someone to cremate the other four corpses with dry firewood, and finally gave some instructions to the village chief and the goddess, before taking Xiao Yao and the eldest lady back to the house outside the village.

"Brother Wei, what are you talking about Yin Corpse Gu?" The three of them returned to the house, and Xiao Yao had time to ask in detail.

"Yin corpse Gu is a kind of Gu worm that uses the corpse of a dead person as meat, these Gu worms do not directly harm people, they will just enter the corpse and multiply quickly, but they do not use the corpse as food, but use a kind of oil secreted by the corpse as food, and this fat is corpse oil."

"The powder that the goddess sprinkled is the powder that was obtained after the corpse oil had been dried. The Yin Corpse Gu is afraid of heat, so it will dodge when it encounters flames, and it will also go around when it encounters cinnabar. But ordinary fire can't burn them, they will hide in the hard shell, only vermilion fire or some fire with talisman wine can burn them, and the white mist I spew out is talisman wine. ”

Wei Decai patiently explained.

"Then this Yin Corpse Gu is nothing to be afraid of, why do you and the Divine Woman seem to be very afraid?" Xiao Yao continued to ask.

"Yin corpse Gu skills are really nothing, they are just a group of insects that eat corpse oil, but Yin corpse Gu is the food of another kind of Gu worm, this kind of Gu worm is the Golden Silkworm Gu!"

"Golden Silkworm Gu?"

At this time, Xiao Yao seemed to have entered a completely new world, and everything was unknown.

"The Golden Silkworm Gu is one of the most terrifying Gu worms among the Gu worms. And after eating the Yin Corpse Gu, the Golden Silkworm Gu will also mutate and become a Gu worm called the Yin Silkworm. ”

Xiao Yao was no longer surprised, and continued to listen to Wei Decai's explanation.

"It's not easy to cultivate the Gu worms of this Yin Corpse Gu, and it is necessary to sprinkle a special medicinal powder on the corpse to promote the generation of corpse oil, so that the Yin Corpse Gu can be raised, it seems that there should be someone near here who wants to feed the Yin Silkworm, so the ones we saw before appeared."

Wei Decai expressed his conjecture the thickest.

"Could it be those Zhong family members?" Xiao Yao whispered softly.

"Probably not, the breeding time of the yin silkworm is extremely long, it takes about nine years, the silkworm body molts nine times, and each time it molts, it will add a pattern until it grows to nine patterns, which is the legendary nine-pattern yin silkworm."

"This kind of yin silkworm still needs to mate in pairs before it can finally give birth to the best of the required Gu worms, the eyeless silkworm."

The eldest lady has already heard the clouds, and she should be listening to the book of heaven.

"It is already very difficult to cultivate ordinary golden silkworms, and it is even more difficult for yin silkworms to need a large number of yin corpse Gu worms for food. The cultivation of the nine-striped yin silkworm and the final production of the eyeless silkworm are estimated to be just a legend. ”

"As for the use of the eyeless silkworm, due to the long legend, it has long been unclear, even if it is two yin silkworms, it is very rare."

"So I reasoned that it wouldn't be the Zhong family's doing. In addition, as far as I know, the Xichuan Zhong family is not good at Gu poison, and if they want to cultivate Yin silkworms, they can only be the Witch Clothes Sect or the Poison Dragon Sect! ”
