Seventy-five centipede Gu
Xiao Yu'er was quite proud: "If you are disobedient in the future, I will let the cockroaches eat you." β
Xu Fatzi sneered: "You see if I'm afraid." β
"Okay, you've got it." Xiao Yu'er glared and whistled again.
"Buzz..."A swarm of flies suddenly flew out of the bushes, black and rushed towards Xu Fatzi.
", murder your husband." Xu Fatzi yelled and ran up the mountain.
The wild boar, which was surrounded by cockroaches, was covered in blood at this time, stumbled forward, and accidentally fell off the cliff and fell to pieces.
Xiao Yu'er pursed her mouth, the whistle was gone, and she continued to climb up the mountain with us.
Because of the occasional people passing by in the village, this road did not encounter any other threats except for the wild boars that did not open their eyes.
Far away. You can already see the top of the mountain.
A small courtyard is shaded by trees, and there is a high platform made of bamboo next to the courtyard.
When I came to the courtyard door, the door was wide open.
Xiao Yu'er shouted, "Is Lao Heping here?" "Looks like she's familiar with this place.
An old man with a black turban, a black clay jacket with an open placket, and straw sandals on his face came out to look at us.
This old man still has some ethnic minority customs. He opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, is there something wrong with you?" β
Xiao Yu'er laughed: "Can't you come up if you're fine?" β
"Yes, yes." Lao Heping made a gesture of please: "Come in and sit." β
Entering the courtyard, the corners were filled with sun-dried black things, which should be the raw materials for making Gu poison.
On the other side of the corner, bottles and cans are stacked high.
Some of the jars also made insect noises.
"Is there a Gu worm in there?" Fat Xu asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yu'er replied: "Yes, it's a Gu worm." β
Although this place is not very popular, the surrounding trees are not high, and under the sun, not only does it not have a gloomy feeling. On the contrary, it is still very hot.
Entering the house, Lao Heping asked, "Xiao Yu'er, is this the guest you invited?" β
"This is my husband, and his two friends, there are some things about Gu poison to ask."
"Xiao Yu'er, are you married?"
"I got married yesterday."
"Oh," Lao Heping was not surprised at all, it seems that Miao Zhai's marriage is indeed quite simple.
Calmly guiding us to sit down, Lao Hepin said, "If there is anything to ask, ask." β
I hurriedly said, "Please ask the old man to invite the great wizard out." β
Lao Heping looked at me: "Why don't I look like a great wizard?" β
"This..."
Because of the inherent concept, we always imagine the wizard as a mysterious old man dressed in a black robe who can't see the purpose, how can we think of it as an ordinary old man.
Chen Xing opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassment: "Old man, I'm sorry, we didn't expect the great wizard to be so approachable. β
Lao Heping looked at Chen Xing: "Sister, you also have a lot of Gu poison on your body, what do you need to ask me?" β
Chen Xing didn't hide it: "But there are hundreds of poisons in this world, after all, I am young and have little knowledge." β
"My sister is polite," said Lao Heping, "what do you want to ask?" β
"Old man, is there a kind of Gu poison that can make a dead patient become infinitely powerful, and his body is like a copper-headed iron arm?"
"Yes." Lao Heping raised his head and said, "The centipede Gu can make people have a hard shell like a centipede, even if it is a dead person, it looks the same as a living person. β
"This is the so-called, hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff."
My heart was shocked, and I glanced at Chen Xing, and sure enough, it was just as we had speculated before. A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.
I hurriedly asked, "Who has this Gu poison in their hands?" β
"Have you seen it?" Lao Heping asked rhetorically.
I picked out what happened in the county, and Lao Heping listened to it and thought for a while: "I advise you to go back, this kind of Gu poison can't be found." β
"Is there any secrecy involved?" I asked.
Lao He smiled indifferently: "What age is it now, the Gu poison is going to be lost, how can there be any secrets." β
"Then why does the old gentleman want us to go back?"
"Because the person who refines the centipede Gu is definitely not something you can afford to provoke."
"What's going on here?"
Lao Heping said: "Let me tell you this, other Gu poisons, as long as there are enough poisonous insects, they can be raised, but refining centipede Gu requires tiger blood. β
"In this era, although tigers are protected animals, tiger blood should not be difficult." I said.
"Do you think it's tiger blood?"
"Lao Hepin. It was obviously the tiger blood you said just now. Xiao Yu'er refutated.
"This tiger's blood, not the tiger's blood," Lao Heping explained: "In the old days, high-ranking military attachΓ©s had tigers embroidered on their court uniforms, and what was needed to refine centipede Gu was their blood. β
Xu Fatzi muttered: "Aren't they all human, now everyone is equal, how can there be any tigers and leopards." β
"But the bloodline thing is very mysterious." Lao Heping said: "Just like the dog in the village, obviously I have never seen a tiger or a leopard, but as soon as I enter the territory of a tiger and a leopard, my whole body trembles, and I can't stand steadily, which is blood suppression." β
"I know that," I chimed in, "it's like a man seeing a snake." Subconsciously, you will be surprised, although many snakes are not poisonous. β
"But old sir," I continued, "since we have participated in this matter, we will certainly participate in it until the final truth is discovered." β
"Why don't you listen?" Lao Heping should be the same as me, a less powerful person, and sighed: "You can't afford to provoke people who can refine centipede Gu." β
"Does he have three heads and six arms?" Xu Fatzi was very unconvinced: "Is it that the knife can't be cut?" Or can't the bullet go in? β
Lao Heping did not continue to persuade, but only said: "Xiao Yu'er." Wait a minute, go back to the village and inform you, the villagers who are unwell, find a way to go to the town health center, I have to leave for a while. β
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yu'er asked.
Lao Heping said: "To refine the hundred-pede worm Gu, in addition to the tiger's blood, it also gathers the hundred-insect Gu, the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, the Spirit Rhino Gu, and the Gu Mother is sticky powder. β
"Although these Gu poisons are common, the refining methods are all secrets in the villages, and I suspect that the refining methods of these Gu poisons have all been leaked."
"So I have to go to the major villages, inform them, and discuss by the way, how to deal with this centipede Gu."
Speaking of this, Lao Heping stood up: "Several." The matter is urgent, I won't leave you any longer, and I still have to advise you, you better go back, don't wade into this troubled water. Even if you don't check. The big stockades will also figure things out. β
"Thank you, old gentleman, for your kindness," I said, "I actually have a proposal, we can work together to find out what is really behind the scenes." β
"No," said Lao Hepin, "this matter." Actually, it has nothing to do with you. β
In that case, we don't bother much.
Before going out, Chen Xing still had to break the casserole and ask to the end: "Old gentleman, Gu Mother is sticky powder, which means that those who died have sticky powder on their bodies?" β
"Yes."
"It's not that after eating the sticky powder,"
"That's for women."
Chen Xing continued to ask, "If a person has these Gu poisons in his hands at the same time, and at the same time has tiger blood, will he be able to refine a hundred-legged worm Gu?" β
"It's not." Lao Heping said: "Just having Gu poison, there is no refining method. β
"Alright, you guys go down the mountain, I'm going out soon."
"Fat Xu," on the way down the mountain, Chen Xing, who was thinking about the problem, suddenly said: "I will go back from Miao Village later, you can eat some sticky powder and try it." β
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu'er glared at Chen Xing: "You asked my husband to attract those who ate centipede Gu?" β
"I'll be ready for anything." Chen Xing said.
"No," Xiao Yu'er said angrily: "If you want to eat sticky powder, let the crazy brother eat it, his combat power is not as good as that of a fat man, and he is the most suitable for bait." β
Chen Xing looked up at me with a smile: "See." You are despised. β
"My forte is ghosts," I said, "I really don't understand this thing." β
"By the way," I suddenly remembered something: "We forgot to ask just now, is the centipede Gu only effective if it is eaten by a dying patient?" β
"Yes," Chen Xing echoed: "Just now I was thinking about how to refine Gu and how to find the real culprit behind the scenes, but I even forgot about this." β
Xiao Yu'er turned her head and said, "Anyway, I haven't gone far, just go back and ask Lao Heping again." β
"Is this the only way down the mountain?" I said, "Why don't we wait here for the old man?" β
Xiao Yu'er shook her head: "No, there is still a road on the back side of the mountain." I don't know which way Lao Heping will go. β
"Then what are you talking about, go up the mountain."
Several people climbed to the top of the mountain again.
As I approached the courtyard, I had a feeling that I couldn't explain it.
Looking towards the top of the mountain, there were several figures faintly seen in the bushes next to the courtyard.
Looking closely, the figure is a little empty, and he is still holding a mourning stick in his hand.
"How can there be a gloom on the top of the mountain?" I said subconsciously.
"Where?" Xu Fatzi looked over.
Xiao Yu'er asked, "What does Yin Cha do?" Hook the soul? β
"In general, yes." I replied.
"It's not good," I shouted, "I'm afraid that Lao Heping is going to return to the underworld." β
We hurried up the hill, near the courtyard, and heard a wail.
rushed up desperately, only to see Lao Heping lying at the door and rolling, countless cockroaches, centipedes, ladybugs, and locusts crawling around on Lao Heping's body.
I gasped and was about to rush up, but was desperately pulled by Chen Xing.
Xiao Yu'er screamed and kept blowing the whistle, but she didn't expect the insects that heard the whistle to be even more manic, desperately squeezing Lao Heping.
Lao Heping's whole body was wrapped in insects, forming a large ball of insects on the ground.
Xiao Yu'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran up and stepped on the cockroaches on the periphery.
The dim juice splashed out, and other insects immediately stepped forward to wrap the cockroach's corpse, and more insects attacked Xiao Yu'er.
"Take off your shoes, take them off and throw them away." Chen Xing shouted.
Xiao Yu'er hurriedly took off her shoes and threw them into the distance, and the insects immediately chased after her after the smell.
