This time it was the turn of the family to be afraid, they trembled one by one, and they didn't dare to go in, they had heard the rumors of these days, and many of them disappeared without a trace because they touched this bug.

But seeing Liu Futong's face glaring more terrifying than the king of Hades, he said angrily: "If anyone doesn't go now, I will pull him out and behead him now!" ”

After saying this, who would dare not go, if he didn't carry it, he would be dead now, and the subordinates rushed in, carefully entered the room, and carried out the coffin of Mrs. Liu.

At this time, it happened to be the hottest time of the day, and when the old lady Liu was carried out, suddenly a burst of black smoke came out of the coffin, and then these insects, together with the old lady Liu, turned into a gray smoke, and there was nothing, only the old lady Liu's clothes remained.

Liu Futong's face changed, but fortunately, the family next to him supported him, so he didn't fall down, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and ask the spirit boy to come over and see what is going on!" ”

It seems that this spirit boy has won Liu Futong's favor, but he regards me and Uncle Xu as nothing.

Soon, the spirit boy jumped over, pushed me and Uncle Xu away with a hand, a pair of eyes just stared at the ground, and whispered to Liu Futong, Liu Futong immediately dismissed everyone, and suddenly a pair of eyes stared at me and Uncle Xu, and said, "Everyone, please go back!" ”

The spirit boy stopped us, and he said, "There is still something to do, you two help, why don't you come to my room first." ”

Saying this, it was as if he was our superior, and I was about to go back, but Uncle Xu grabbed my wrist, and he said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Then he took me out of here, and I saw that his steps were a little flustered, and he did not go to the spirit boy's room, but turned left and right, and flew out of the wall of this Liu mansion, and went directly to the outside.

I naturally don't know much about his actions, but seeing that he was in a hurry, this is not the time to ask, I have been walking for a while, and seeing a small alley in front of me, Uncle Xu took me to flash in, looked left and right, and took out a small insect from the cuff.

I gasped, this is not the insect on Mrs. Liu's body, it was obviously turned into a burst of black ash by the scorching sun just now, but I didn't expect that Uncle Xu actually hid one and put it in his sleeve.

"I just heard Liu Futong say that I want to move Mrs. Liu's coffin out of the room, I am afraid that I will not have a chance for a while, from the room, I took the opportunity to take one and stuffed it into the cuffs, but I didn't expect that it happened to be crooked, but left a live one."

The hard work of the past few days has not been in vain, but who does this worm have to show it, so that you can't catch a common person on the street and ask, right? This is too unreliable.

Uncle Xu and I came out of this alley, aimlessly glanced at the crowd around us, I patted my head, and said, "This scholar has the most knowledge, we can take it to the academy and ask them, have you seen it, or what books have you seen it." ”

Uncle Xu nodded, we inquired with people, and asked what academy there was nearby, and sure enough, there was a Bailu Academy nearby.

Bailu Academy is easy to find, because it is completely different from the buildings in the vicinity, with a bookish atmosphere, red bricks and white walls, a couplet on the left and right at the gate, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and it is extraordinary at a glance.

Just as he was about to enter the academy, he was stopped by an old man dressed in sackcloth, who said, "What's the matter with the two of you?" ”

We took out the worm and carefully let him look at it: "We don't know why we want to invite the students from the academy here to take a look." ”

Seeing this little thing, the old man smiled, and then he was about to close the door, and kept shaking his head: "This is the academy, you treat this as a vegetable market, anyone can come in?" ”

I hurriedly stopped him from closing the door, and said, "This worm can burrow into a person's body and kill it, but we don't know what it is, so please ask the gentleman here to take a look." ”

The old man was immediately stunned, staring at the insect in my hand, as if he didn't believe it, this little insect could have such a great power, he just wanted to touch it with his hand, I hurriedly stopped: "This thing can't be touched, if you touch it, it will drill into the human body." ”

The old man didn't believe it, and laughed: "What is this, fooling a three-year-old doll, just this little thing, I can pinch it to death with one hand!" ”

Immediately after that, he snatched the insect from Uncle Xu's hand, and caught us off guard, only to see that the old man was still there, with the little insect twisted in his hand, at this moment, he screamed softly, and then, a small red blood spot appeared on the belly of his finger, and the insect was gone.

Seeing this, Uncle Xu suddenly picked up the old man's hand, and pinched the other hand on her fingers, and then saw the tail of the little insect, and the old man mentioned it with his hand, and then lifted the little insect, but he saw that the little insect was already full of meat on the belly of the old man's fingers, and the tips of the old man's fingers were obviously flattened, hanging on the fingertips like a layer of skin.

A stream of black blood flowed out from between the old man's fingers, dripping and clicking, exuding a faint stench, which frightened the old man, looked at Uncle Xu, and asked with a little trembling: "I, I'm okay now, right?" ”

After seeing the old man nodding, he was obviously relieved.

"It's good that I'm here, otherwise I won't be able to do anything when the worms are completely into your body." The old man said.

At this time, the old man no longer dared to be careless, and immediately invited us into the academy, and went to a hall, let us wait here for a while, and he immediately invited the gentleman, and after a while, he saw that the old man invited the gentleman over, and he didn't know what to say to the gentleman, but he saw that the gentleman of the academy also had a serious face.

Uncle Xu and I got up, but I never thought that the head of the gentleman was followed by several gentlemen, and there were ten people in total, walking towards us, and without waiting for us to salute them, the first person who was quite a Confucian old gentleman said, "Quickly take out that worm and show it to me." ”

Uncle Xu turned around, avoided the sunlight, and took out the small insect from his sleeve, because it had just entered the old man's finger, and at this time, the insect was full of rotten stench, which was disgusting.

The old man stood behind these gentlemen, tiptoeing, constantly looking at Uncle Xu, and kept reminding the old gentlemen: "Sir, be careful, don't touch it with your hands, it's just ......."

As soon as the elegant old gentleman raised his hand and signaled not to let the old man speak, the old man immediately shut up and followed everyone to watch.

However, this old gentleman did not pick up the worm, but asked Uncle Xu, "Why is this worm ......?"

Uncle Xu smiled: "I don't know, maybe this thing is a thing, it doesn't like to eat my meat, so I hold it, it's not dangerous at all." ”

The old gentleman nodded, looked back at the few teaching gentlemen behind him, and said, "You must have never seen this worm." ”

Those gentlemen were quite young, and they even called the old man sir, and it seemed that this old man was a man full of wealth, and they shook their heads again and again, and said to the old gentleman: "The student doesn't know. ”

"I've only seen it from books, and looking at this appearance, it should be a Gu worm." The old gentleman stroked his beard, but he didn't dare to say that it must be, but said, "Probably." ”

Mr. Xu wondered: "Why did the old gentleman say so vaguely?" Did you watch it in the early years and forget what it looked like? ”

When the young scholars behind the old gentleman heard this, they immediately showed dissatisfied expressions on their faces: "My husband is from Hanlin and has the ability to never forget, so you can't help but look down on everyone too much." ”

Ben just said it casually, but he didn't want these people to be so angry, it seems that this old gentleman is very knowledgeable, but compared to those younger scholars, this old gentleman was not angry, but said: "I naturally remember, but the book said that this Gu worm lives in the Miaojiang area, how could it be brought to the capital of our Xia Liang Kingdom?" ”

"Who brought Xu in what jar?" I said.

The old gentleman immediately denied it and told us about this Gu worm in Miaojiang.

Originally, this Gu worm was raised by the Miao Jiang witch doctor, and ordinary people could not see it, they used this Gu worm to manipulate people, as long as the person was poisoned by this Gu worm, he became a living dead, he had no thinking, and could only be at the mercy of the witch doctor.

But if this Gu worm wants to leave Miao Jiang, it must be carried by the human body, in the human body, there will be more and more Gu worms, if you are like us, put the Gu worm in your purse, but you won't live long.

Therefore, most of the Gu insects in Miaojiang are only in the Miaojiang area, just because they are not easy to carry, and they are carried by people, and they can't last for a few days.

I heard the old gentleman say that Miao Jiang is about half a year away from Xia Liang Capital, and Gu worms can stay in a person's body for five days at most, this can only be a young and strong young man, if it is a person who is not in good health, it will not last even five days.

The road from Miaojiang to the capital, but one by one, human lives, presumably, this road is also a coffin, those demons came to Miaojiang with hundreds of coffins, and slowly abandoned along the way, so that people died slowly......

"And the witch doctors will follow, too?" I asked.

After listening to our description, the old gentleman said: "I'm afraid not, if the witch doctor is here, it won't give birth to so many Gu worms, they will use witchcraft to make these people have only one Gu worm in their bodies, so that it is easy to control, and there is no need to look for new people everywhere as their servants." ”
