Chapter 278: Xie Bangui should go this way

"A bunch of nonsense......" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the head of the academy, and the sword under the table was also drawn out half a foot. Ω "Literature Fans."

"Hahaha...... the book ghost laughed wildly, "It seems that you have believed in the things in the book, very good, very good...... Now it's time for us to talk. ”

"I ...... I...... Be...... Mistakenly killed Brother Li......"

The head of the academy suddenly woke up with a "wow" sound and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, how could he still not understand that he was deceived by a book ghost and killed his best friend by mistake. Ashamed and angry, angry and bloody, how could he not spurt blood from his mouth.

When he raised his head again, a smile appeared on his pale face, and a black qi gradually floated in his dantian, penetrating the hundred acupoints and gathering towards the heart veins.

"Good...... Very good......" The book ghost smiled hideously, "Go crazy! Crazy! Only if you enter my way, I can ......"

Zi said: ......" Chen Cheng, who was hiding outside the window and peeping, didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly recited the Confucian classics aloud, and swept away towards the mountain chief with a mighty and righteous spirit, and forcibly dispersed his surging black gas.

"Evil will not prevail over good, and you will die!" The head of the academy got up suddenly, roared like a roar, used his sword palms together, flashed left and right and slashed towards the book ghosts, and the sword qi and the mighty qi soared suddenly, as if a whirlwind suddenly rose in the study. Where the strength passed, the tables and chairs shifted, the bed was rolled upside down, and the window paper flew in the air, like a butterfly.

Under the fright, the book ghost spewed out a breath of evil qi at the same time as withdrawing and retreating, and the window slashed directly into the house, and the strength of the mountain chief instantly combined into a rushing wave, surging and overflowing, unpredictable and unbeatably fast and stabbing in the limited space. Then, there was a loud earthquake, and the entire study exploded into pieces from the inside out......

The book ghost is nowhere to be found.

Chen Cheng was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't say a word.

The mountain chief was holding a long sword upside down, standing in the open space of the study with his head scattered, looking at Chen Cheng without saying a word, but his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until I heard footsteps in the corridor that I said coldly: "It's okay here, everyone quit, don't approach the study without my order." ”

When the footsteps were far away, the head of the academy whispered to Chen Cheng: "Follow me!" ”

Chen Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, and walked back to the messy study behind the mountain chief, but saw the other party pushing the secret door behind the bookshelf and walked in first.

Chen Cheng followed him into the dark room with a slight hesitation, and it didn't take long for a huge library to appear in front of Chen Cheng's eyes. The mountain chief pointed to the rows of books wrapped in red cloth on the bookshelves and covered with the seal of the academy and said, "This is the biggest secret of the Zangyun Pavilion Academy. The existence of the academy is to suppress these ancient books with Haoran righteousness. Only the core disciples of the academy know this secret, and from today onwards, you are also one of the core disciples. ”

"Xie Shanchang cultivates!" Chen Cheng trembled with excitement, kneeling on the ground and not knocking.

The mountain chief said lightly: "It's not that I deliberately cultivated you, but that you have the value of letting me cultivate." In the face of ghosts and evils, I am not afraid of danger, which is enough to make me pay attention to you. ”

"From now on, you must have ten days a month to study the scriptures here. But, remember, no matter how curious you are, don't open those sealed books. Otherwise, you will inevitably be like me, deceived by the book ghost and embark on the road of no return. You must not go in until I agree. With your current concentration, even if you don't turn over the ancient books there, you will never recover......"

………

Chen Cheng said this, took a deep breath and said, "This is the secret I know......"

Xie Bangui asked, "Where did the things in the library of the Hidden Cloud Pavilion go?" ”

"It's burning!" Chen Cheng sighed: "At that time, the matter of human blood painters painting and killing people became more and more intense in Zangyun Pavilion, and finally it almost reached an uncontrollable level, and the number of Confucian students in the academy became fewer and fewer, and the more difficult it was for us to suppress the library...... Finally, one day, the mountain chief and we all kicked out of the stacks, locked the door inside, lit a fire, and burned the whole stack, and burned himself inside. ”

Xie Bangui said: "Didn't he confess anything before he died?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "The mountain chief divided us into several groups and let us live in seclusion in the designated place. Tell us to study hard, don't waste our studies, maybe someone will rebuild the Zangyun Pavilion in the future. ”

"That's right!" Xie Bangui sighed and said, "It's the head of the academy who has caused you a killing disaster!" ”

After Xie Bangui finished speaking, he threw a pen to Chen Cheng and said, "Draw me the path to the library, and you can go." ”

Chen Cheng lowered his head and drew the map, and the tall fat man leaned over to Xie Bangui and said, "Brother, do you think that book ghost and human blood painter will be the same person?" ”

"It's not!" Chen Cheng didn't look back and said, "Regarding this matter, I also asked the mountain chief in private. The chief told him that they were not the same person. Bookghosts only confuse people, but they don't kill people. The human blood painter is directly killing people. Taking a step back, if it was a book ghost who killed someone, the mountain chief was sure to suppress him. I will never come up with a plan to end up together. ”

The fat man muttered: "It will only confuse people and not kill people, how can you be virtuous with that soul eater." ”

"What did you say?" Xie Bangui, who was engrossed in watching Chen Cheng's drawing, obviously didn't hear what the fat man was muttering.

The fat man smiled and said, "It's nothing, you're busy with you." ”

It didn't take long for Chen Cheng to hand over the drawn map to Xie Bangui. Xie Bangui asked a few more questions before he ordered Ming Qingxue to send Chen Cheng and his wife away, but he himself ran to Chen Cheng's corpse and squatted down. After looking up and down a few times, he lifted the hat on Chen Cheng's head.

The back of Chen Cheng's skull was like a lotus, split into several petals from the inside out, and a white sphere arched out of his head. It seems that the cause of Chen Cheng's death should be that this mass of things that grew out of his head first crushed his brains and then opened his skull, so that it was fatal in a short period of time. However, how could a spherical foreign body about the size of Chen Cheng's head pop up in the human brain?

Xie Bangui put on the Soul Claw and peeled off Chen Cheng's skull piece by piece along the crack in the bone. It wasn't until Xie Bangui opened all of Chen Cheng's skulls that he took out a mushroom in the shape of a human head from his brain.

When Xie Bangui grabbed the edge of the mushroom cap and slowly lifted the mushroom, he saw that the stem of the mushroom actually ran through Chen Cheng's entire head, and the palm-sized root was on his facial features, and what he saw when he pulled out the mushroom was the skull's translucent nostrils and eye sockets.

Xie Bangui held the mushroom and muttered to himself, "What the hell is this?" ”

"The head mushroom is also the main medicine for the configuration of 'self-forgetfulness'." Seeing that Xie Bangui didn't understand, Ming Qingxue continued to explain: "'Forget Me Scatter' is a very strange medicine, and it is colorless and odorless, and it is also non-toxic. Its greatest function is to make people lose all perception for a short period of time, and even the will is suspended for it. You can recover automatically without an antidote, but after you recover your will, you will forget a lot of things, and you won't know what happened during this time of losing your will? ”

Xie Bangui said: "But how can this thing appear in people's heads?" ”

"The meaning of the man's head mushroom is not that it looks like a human head, but that it must be planted in the human head, whether it is a dead person or a living person, as long as the brain pulp is not dry, the head mushroom can be cultivated. Of course, the living are more suitable for planting than the dead, because the brains of the living are more energetic. ”

Ming Qingxue took a deep breath, pointed to the mushroom in Xie Bangui's hand and said: "The head mushroom can be transplanted after it grows up, the color in your hand is a little yellow, which means that it has not yet grown, and when it grows into white flesh, it means that it is ripe." You can also transplant it into any kind of environment and continue to grow. ”

Xie Bangui put down the mushroom in his hand: "It seems that the people of Yinru Village will all die violently if they inhale the mushroom seeds." Because of the nature of the head mushroom, they don't know that they are dead. ”

"That's not right!" The fat man questioned: "Their souls are already out of their bodies, can't they see the corpses on the ground?" ”

"This starts with another characteristic of the mane mushroom. The manhead mushroom originally grew in the wild and reproduced by preying on mandrills. However, mandrills are also very spiritual, and their souls will not easily dissipate after death, and will linger near the corpse. And the newborn man's head mushroom is extremely fragile, and it can't withstand the yin wind brought by the mandrill soul at all. Therefore, the mane mushroom floats out of a mist-like thing, blocking the sight of the unjust soul, and the unjust soul can't find the corpse, so it will naturally leave. ”

The fat man patted his head and said, "You mean that the human head mushroom can only be seen by people, and ghosts can't see it, right?" And the ghost encounters the head mushroom, and by the way, he can't even see his own corpse? ”

Stygian Qingxue nodded and said, "You can understand it this way. ”

Xie Bangui said: "Is there anything that can restrain self-forgetfulness, or head mushrooms?" ”

"I don't know." Ying Qingxue shook her head and said, "Before, I heard that several great witches have developed an antidote to crack the 'self-forgetfulness', but I don't know if it has succeeded. If you want to guard against mane mushrooms, it's actually very simple. As long as you can close your mouth, nose and ears, the seeds of the head mushroom will survive for a very short time, and they will die if they can't penetrate the person's facial features within five breaths. ”

The tall fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

The light snow whitened the other party's eyes and said angrily: "The head mushroom originally grew in Xiangxi. It was you Central Plains people who brought him back to the rivers and lakes, and it was also the Central Plains people who arranged to forget themselves, but in turn, they pressed the sins on the head of Wumen, and you Central Plains people don't have a good thing. ”

"Gotta ...... I'm not going to fight with you! The tall fat man turned to Xie Bangui and said, "Brother, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Of course, I entered the Zangyun Pavilion, I don't take the plank road, I go back to the mountain." Xie Bangui pointed to the map that Chen Cheng drew for him and said: "To build a library in the belly of the mountain, the first thing to consider is fire prevention and moisture prevention, the Zangyun Pavilion is near the water and the clouds and mist are continuous all year round, the humidity in the mountain is very heavy, the library will definitely build a vent, if I guess correctly, this vent should be in the back mountain." We entered the stacks through the vents. ”

The fat man grabbed his head and said, "Isn't it faster to enter from that mountain chief's study?" ”

Xie Bangui shook his head and said, "When you go to the study, you will definitely meet the true dragon nine sons, I don't like trouble......"

Xie Bangui didn't know that the so-called troubles he had already suffered casualties by now.

Although Xie Bangui didn't know the exact location of the vents in the library, he knew a little about feng shui. For a building like Zangyun Pavilion, which is laid out in feng shui, the location of each auxiliary building is extremely exquisite, and the location of the vents is roughly only so few, so it is not difficult to find out.

In less than half an hour, Xie Bangui found three holes for ventilation. After several calculations, Xie Bangui finally selected one of them: "This vent is the right size, and it is closest to the location of the library. We go in from here. ”
