Chapter 17: Chrysalis Gu

This scene happened so quickly that almost everyone failed to react, and when I saw the person who saved the Taoist priest, I was overjoyed that it was a doctor.

Lao Luo was in a hurry just now, because I was anxious about the Taoist priest, I didn't have time to call the doctor and rushed over, but I didn't expect the doctor to come now, so there is still some hope for saving the Taoist priest.

Although the doctor saved the Taoist priest from the fire in time, the flame just now still burned the Taoist priest enough, the hair on his forehead was scorched in half, and his eyebrows were burned a lot.

The doctor frowned and threw aside the clothes that were still dripping on his body, and when he saw that I was pressed to the ground by a dozen big men and couldn't move, he wanted to come and help.

"Who are you? Is it also in league with this demon? ”

The old patriarch of Luogang Village shouted sharply, and at the same time beckoned to the people on both sides, and suddenly four or five burly men surrounded the doctor.

Seeing this scene, I was overjoyed in my heart, these blind guys actually divided more than a dozen people to deal with me, but only used four or five people to deal with Taoist priests and doctors, isn't this looking for a fight?

Sure enough, after receiving the order of the old patriarch, the four or five mountain men immediately pounced on the doctor, and even two of them targeted the Taoist priest behind the doctor. In the face of the oncoming three people, the doctor was expressionless, and his body flashed one after another, and he attacked quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, picking at their stomachs and joints to greet them, and in less than three breaths, the three people had all been put to the ground by him, covering the beaten subordinates on their bodies and moaning again and again, and they couldn't even get up.

The other two guys who pounced on the Taoist priest saw that the doctor was so fierce, and they were suddenly stunned in place, and the doctor cleaned up the three people, glanced at the two stunned guys lightly, and snorted to the side, and the two immediately hid to the side, and even lost the courage to do it.

I was completely surprised by this result, but for the patriarch of Luogang Village, this scene was extremely shocking, his wrinkled face was full of shock and disbelief, and he pointed at us in a trembling manner, unable to speak for a long time.

The doctor flattened the wrinkled corners of his clothes, and continued to look at the dozen or so people who pressed me to the ground, without speaking, but the meaning was already very obvious, and I obviously felt that the pressure of those people had reduced a lot of pressure on me, and it was obvious that the doctor's silent threat had played a role.

I hurriedly took the opportunity to shout at the old patriarch: "Old man, listen to me, there must be a misunderstanding here, and we don't want to conflict with you, can you give us some time to find out the truth, if this thing is really done by my friend, you don't need to do it, the younger generation will take this scourge in front of the whole village, what do you think?" ”

Perhaps it was the doctor's terrible skill that made the old man scruple, and the old man's eyebrows furrowed, and he waved his hand at the dozen or so big men who held me down. Suddenly, the dozen or so people let go of their hands at the same time, and I hurriedly got up and walked to the doctor and the Taoist priest, asking how the Taoist priest felt?

At this time, the hair was gray and dirty, his expression was sluggish, he couldn't even stand up, and hummed weakly: "Alas, he is a mother, if it weren't for the Dao Master who was hit by the Gu, all the strength of his body would have been sealed, otherwise how could these mountain and wild villagers be my opponents, alas, it is really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!" ”

I glanced at him, ignoring it, the hairy still had the strength to complain, and it seemed to be fine.

I turned my head to look at the patriarch, and saw that his face was full of hesitation, and hurriedly continued: "Old man, I still have those words just now, please forgive us some time, you don't want those kidnapped children to disappear, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, before the old man could react, the crowd under the stone cliff suddenly made a commotion, I looked down, and suddenly saw Lao Luo leading a middle-aged couple to squeeze under the stone cliff, and I couldn't help but be happy, the old man had obviously been moved by me, at this time, if Xiaoling's parents came forward to intercede again, this matter would be completed.

Under Lao Luo's greeting, they soon squeezed under the stone cliff and were blocked by two middle-aged strong men guarding the cliff entrance, one of whom asked with an unkind face: "Lei Lao Er, what are you doing here?" Do you still have the face to be here? If your daughter hadn't brought this demon back to the village, where would my baby have disappeared? ”

The person who was questioned was obviously Xiao Ling's father, he looked at the stone cliff with an anxious face, and when he saw that the Taoist priest was still alive, he suddenly showed a happy expression on his face, and he didn't care about the person who asked him, so he wanted to squeeze on the stone cliff, but he was stopped by death.

I hurriedly said to the patriarch, "Old man, my friend has been invited by them to heal his illness, and I think it is necessary for you to listen to their opinions. ”

The old man looked at me and waved his hand at the two people at the mouth of the cliff: "Let them come!" ”

The old man spoke, although the two were reluctant, but they still got out of the way, Lao Luo and Xiaoling's parents immediately rushed up the stone cliff, I noticed that the couple was still leading a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and I suddenly had a plan in my heart.

As soon as Xiaoling's parents rushed to the cliff, they immediately knelt down in front of the Taoist priest, crying with snot and tears: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Dao Chief, you are not a liar, my baby is really good, he is really good......"

While crying, the couple pulled the boy standing beside him to kneel: "Quick, kowtow to the life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for the Taoist elder to be merciful and help, you would still be crazy now, quick, kowtow!" ”

The boy was not too young, he understood something to some extent, and hurriedly kowtowed to the Taoist priest to thank him.

This sudden scene made everyone stunned, and the middle-aged man who had been speaking for the old patriarch before hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Lei Lao-Er, didn't you say that this demon was a liar before, why are you kowtowing and thanking now? ”

Hearing this, Xiaoling's father hurriedly explained: "Blame me, blame me, the Taoist chief said before, he still needs a transition period to fully recover his sanity after casting a spell for my son, but after he cast a spell, my daughter disappeared, and my baby boy is still crazy, plus what happened in the village later, I will identify him as a liar." This morning, just this morning, my baby woke up, the madness turned out to be completely cured, it was my mistake, it was my mistake, the Taoist chief is a really capable person, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, patriarch, patriarch, my second child begs you to be sure to investigate in detail, and you must not be wronged by the Taoist chief! ”

After speaking, the husband and wife kowtowed to the patriarch in unison.

After listening to the words of Xiaoling's parents, the wrinkles on the whole face were piled together, and he seemed to be in deep thought.

We are all anxiously waiting, if the old man is still determined to burn the Taoist priest immediately, then there is only a hard way to kill, although we have a doctor, but to fight against so many villagers, the chance of escaping is still slim, don't look at the current we still have the upper hand, if there is really a conflict at that time, the hundreds of villagers watching under the stone cliff will definitely not stand idly by, when the time comes, the three of us will be the target of the public, in the face of the siege of hundreds of villagers, and we can not be heavy-handed, the situation is really unpredictable.

Fortunately, things did not go in the worst direction, and after about a minute, the wrinkles on the face of the patriarch and the old man eased and looked at me: "What you said, the old man can agree, I will give you three days to investigate, but you also have to promise me one condition." ”

"You say!" As soon as I heard that there was a door for this, I hurriedly said.

"In order to prevent you from escaping, this Taoist priest must be under our care during the three days of your investigation, and no matter what the outcome of the investigation is, this Taoist priest must help heal the children who were scared crazy three years ago."

The old man squinted his eyes and said slowly, looking like he had eaten us, my brows jumped suddenly, and my heart said that this old bastard is really an old fox, he obviously fell in love with the fact that Taoist priests can cure madness, so he deliberately sold our personal favors, no matter what the final result is, he is earned.

Although I am unhappy in my heart, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and we are now under the eaves of others, and everything can only be done according to their rules.

"Yes, but I also have an additional condition, that is, you must not abuse him for three days, and we can contact him at any time and ask about what happened."

This time, the old man nodded very happily and said yes.

In this way, a conflict that was about to break out was temporarily calmed down, under the order of the old patriarch, all the onlookers dispersed, and the Taoist priest's custody was arranged in the ancestral hall on the stone cliff, and the patriarch led more than a dozen villagers to follow us, saying that they were helping us.

I sneered in my heart, knowing that they were guarding against us, and I didn't bother to pierce it, and there were just a lot of details that they needed to provide.

After placing the Taoist priest, we followed into the ancestral hall, and at this time Lin Qiaoer also rushed over, and couldn't believe it after seeing the tragic appearance of the Taoist priest.

The old man and a middle-aged man beside him also followed us into the ancestral hall, while the others stayed outside the ancestral hall.

There is a room in the ancestral hall, which is for the people who guard the ancestral hall, at this time the Taoist priest is very weak, I and the doctor helped him to the bed, the doctor took his pulse, and checked his whole body, but except for the pulse is a little sluggish, the Taoist priest's physical signs are very normal, even better than me.

Looking at the doctor's frowning brows, the Taoist priest smiled helplessly: "Hey, buddy, you are a doctor!" What do you call it? ”

The doctor glanced at him and said lightly: "I'm a friend of the reporter, you can call me a doctor!" ”

"Oh! You're the doctor that journalists often mention? The Taoist priest showed surprise, in the process of getting along with the Taoist priest before, I mentioned some past events with him, and also talked about doctors, and it was not strange for him to know doctors.

The doctor smiled faintly: "The reporter has often mentioned you, thank you for taking care of you the first two times, otherwise the reporter may have hung up!" ”

"Haha, where, where, reporter, this kid saved Daoye's life, Daoist should mention him!"

……

Seeing that these two people actually talked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, my mind was full of black lines, and I coughed, and the two stopped the topic.

The doctor asked, "What do you feel uncomfortable with?" My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I am also a medical graduate, but I can't detect anything wrong with your body. ”

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest suddenly wailed: "You don't have to look at it, the Taoist master is not sick or injured, but he has been tricked, and this thing can't be detected with the most advanced medical equipment." ”

Hearing this, the doctor's face changed: "Zhong Gu? Are you sure? ”

"Oh, Dao Ye, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and it's not the first time I've dealt with insect Gu, although I don't know who gave me this thing, but I can be sure that Dao Ye is indeed in the Gu, and this Gu poison is very domineering, and he has been trying to suck Dao Ye's blood, if it weren't for Dao Ye using a body of cultivation to close the blood of the whole body, I'm afraid I would have been sucked to the point that only an empty shell was left."

Hearing the Taoist priest's narration, my heart suddenly moved, and I suddenly remembered the record of a Gu worm that I saw on the Taiye's hand recently: Pupal Gu, an evil Gu that specializes in sucking the life and blood of the host, exists in the form of miniature eggs, invisible to the naked eye, and often enters the human body with food or drinking water.

The Gu eggs hatch in the host's body, burrow into the host's subcutaneous flesh, and live by gnawing the flesh and blood, and the adult can grow to the size of a wasp, because it will leave many pits shaped like a beehive under the host's skin after hollowing out the host, so it is called a pupal Gu.

Thinking of the description of the pupal Gu, I suddenly felt a numb scalp and said to the doctor, "Let me take a look!" ”

The doctor looked at me in some surprise, but still let go, I grabbed the Taoist priest's hand and lifted his sleeve, if it was a chrysalis Gu, there would inevitably be many cavities on the Taoist priest's arm that looked like a beehive, and there was only a thin layer of human skin left above the hollow, and the skin was full of pits that were filled with Gu worms.

I was ready to see the horrible scene, but when the sleeves were lifted, there was nothing unusual on the Taoist priest's hands, and I didn't see those terrible chrysalis pits.

I was shocked, and I thought to myself, could it be that I guessed wrong?

Thinking about it, I stretched out my finger and pressed it on the Taoist priest's arm, and when I pressed it, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong, there were many hard lumps under the Taoist arm, and when my fingers pressed it, those hard lumps were still squirming, obviously it was not a hard lump in his own flesh and blood, but a living creature in it.

I only felt that my scalp exploded, and I remembered what the Taoist priest had just said, Bacheng was really because he used cultivation to seal the acupoint, so the chrysalis had no way to get into his flesh and eat the blood.

Damn, which bastard Gu is this?

Seeing that my face was different, Lin Qiaoer hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong?" ”

"The Taoist priest is right, he is indeed a Gu, and it just so happens that I know this kind of Gu."

Hearing this, the Taoist priest suddenly came to his senses, "Damn, even the Daoist doesn't know about the Gu, you turtle actually know?" ”

I ignored him and told me what I knew about the characteristics of the chrysalis Gu, as soon as I finished speaking, I thought that the Taoist priest who reacted the most should be the Taoist, but I didn't expect the old patriarch of Luogang Village, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching coldly, suddenly stood up.

"Baby, what you said, but it's true?"
