Chapter 21: A Strange Disease (I)
"Old man, you get up first!" Mochizuki pulled up the old woman, "Don't worry, I'll go see your grandson right away." "It seems that this exorcist of Satomaya is not as unpretentious to ordinary people as he is to beautiful shrine maidens.
"Ahem, if you don't mind, let's go and see if you can go and see if you can? I also know some techniques for treating diseases, and may be able to help the great monk. Besides, it's getting late now, and there is no place to live in the town, I'm afraid there will be some trouble for this old man! Sima Qiudao hurriedly inserted a sentence from it to make his position clear.
The old woman heard Sima Qiudao say that she knew how to heal her illness, and hurriedly answered: "Don't bother, don't bother, my house also has two empty rooms, please don't dislike it, I want to come to the two adults haven't had dinner yet, right?" Please come to my house, the old man will prepare dinner, please be sure to enjoy the light. It seems that Mochizuki Shuangjiao also has a headache because he has hit a wall in the town, and he also has a secret agreement with Sima Qiudao's proposal, so when he heard the old woman's invitation, he just politely said it, and he half-pushed it.
When she came to the old woman's house, she checked her grandson's symptoms and saw that the child was about thirteen years old, lying on a straw mat shirtless, with many wounds all over his body, which had become inflamed and suppurated, swollen and high, and many places had ulcerated and exuded a foul smell.
Sima Qiudao is now only a half-baked warlock, he has never studied Western medicine before, and he has never seen such a heavy work as autopsy with his own eyes, and now when he sees this situation for the first time, he feels a churning in his stomach on the spot, and he is so disgusted that he almost vomits! You must know that there is a world of difference between seeing the example with your own eyes and watching a movie through the screen. After finally suppressing the discomfort, he covered his nose and asked, "This is obviously a wound inflammation infection, you should take him to the doctor as soon as possible, why do you have to find an exorcist?!" ”
"No, it's no ordinary inflammation." Mochizuki's face sank like water, and his brows furrowed: "This is the possession of the night fox." ”
"Possessed by a night fox? What's that? Is it a monster? Sima asked puzzledly, "However, if it's a monster, it's a bit troublesome to make the possessed person like this, and I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome to get rid of it?" ”
"It's a monster indeed!" Mochizuki replied without raising his head, "And this kind of monster usually appears with malicious curses, and it is rare to find a person to possess it on its own."
"Why, does the great monk mean that this little boy was deliberately cursed?!" Sima Qiu was shocked, did he use so much effort to deal with an ordinary teenager? Seeing that this old woman's family is not like some rich nouveau riche, she was maliciously cursed, so why did she come?
However, Mochizuki Shuangjiao didn't care, and said to the old woman: "Old man, please bring your knife at home, I can use it!" ”
"What can a knife do? Is it going to be surgery? Sima Qiudao was a little confused, but instead of asking stupidly, he planned to see what the exorcist from the Satokoya Kongo Temple would do next.
"This vicious curse is very rare, and it is by no means understandable and skillfully used by idle people, so this night fox possession cannot be expelled by ordinary methods, this kind of monster is possessed on the wound, and licks the wound, causing it to become inflamed and fester." Mochizuki Shuangjiao talked eloquently, until the old woman took a kitchen knife and handed it over, her expression was very twisted, so that Mochizuki Shuangjiao didn't know what to say, who has ever seen a kitchen knife to exorcise demons? "Forget it, if there are really no other guys, I can only make do with it."
Mochizuki Shuangjiao took the kitchen knife handed by the old woman, and gently cut a wound on the young man's body, only to see that the skin on the young man's chest was swollen, and a creature like a leech appeared, and it leaned over to the wound and licked it, and the wound was immediately inflamed, and there was a foul smell.
"Sure enough!" Sima Qiudao glanced at the bald monk with the same expression in surprise, the vision of the magic monk who came out of Gaoye here is really powerful. "You can't use brute force to deal with this kind of monster, there is a certain method, first let the possessed person lie down in a place where there is no filth, then wash the body with clean water, draw a talisman on the chest, put the knife on the abdomen, recite the purification mantra seven times, and finally, turn the knife to the left three times, and you can subdue the night fox." Mochizuki Shuangjiao explained while operating, the technique was skillful and steady, and the so-called experts knew whether there was one or not; Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, and the signboard of the Satoma Kongoji Temple is really not covered.
"The great monk is worthy of being a master from the Satokoye, and this insight alone is extraordinary. But I wonder if there is any other way to get rid of such a vicious curse? Sima Qiudao saw that the Moon Shuangjiao was a middle and high master, so he moved the idea of making friends, and immediately opened his mouth to ask for advice.
"Where, where, the donor has won the prize." Mochizuki's double horns were praised by Sima Qiudao, and he basked slightly, and then he returned to a serious expression, "If you want to say that there are other methods, but you need to keep in mind that when you drive away the night fox, you must not have a wound on yourself, otherwise there will be some trouble!" ”
After Mochizuki finished speaking, he turned his head to the old woman who stopped and watched, "Are there small animals such as rabbits, cats and dogs here?" Is it convenient to get one? When the old woman heard this, she did not dare to slack off, and replied, "Yes, yes, I have a few rabbits here, so I will bring them, and please wait a moment, Master Exorcist." ”
In a moment, the old woman rushed over with the ears of a gray rabbit in her hand, and the rabbit whose ears were grabbed kept struggling, and her red eyes were full of horror. Mochizuki Shuangjiao was not pretentious, he took the rabbit directly from the old woman's hand, and then directly cut the rabbit's hind legs with a kitchen knife, and brought the rabbit's bleeding wound close to the lying boy. When the two approached less than a foot apart, a faint gray smoke suddenly appeared from the largest wound on the boy's body, and pierced into the wound of the gray rabbit's bleeding hind leg with what seemed to be slow but was actually very fast...... The whole process lasted only a dozen seconds, but the scene was really terrifying! Sima Qiudao's hair stood upside down, and the old woman was terrified!
“······” Everyone in the house looked at the unlucky rabbit's swollen hind legs that sprinkled with a foul smell like pig's trotters, and they couldn't help but be secretly afraid. But that's not all......
Then there was an even more terrifying sight - the vicious swelling caused by the festering wound just now turned out to spread like a twisted and coiled poisonous snake along the veins of flesh and blood, and soon spread all over the rabbit, except for the ears that were grabbed by Mochizuki's horns, which was no longer a rabbit, but a red-gray flesh that was oozing blood and swollen everywhere (the gray part was bare fur). This seems to be because the little rabbit is far less able to resist the erosion of monsters than humans, and in a very short period of time, it has completely fallen under the poison of demons.
