Chapter 43 Suspicions
Seeing the Taoist priest's painful face, he knew that the value of this soul-nourishing bottle must not be low, but he didn't know what effect it had, so he asked him: "What is the effect of this thing, can you save her?" ”
Hearing me ask, the Taoist priest sighed lightly: "This soul bottle is specially used to adopt ghosts, although there are many ways to raise ghosts in this world, but all of them need the deceased's things as a medium, or bones, or beards, it is extremely inconvenient to raise, and it is easy to devour the master, except for the soul bottle made of soul raising jade, which can directly store yin things, and the spirit body is stored in it not only not affected by the yin wind, but also can be nourished." ”
I half understood, and hurriedly asked if this was the way to save Lan, but saw that the Taoist priest shook his head, saying that Lan is a special thing, although she is a spirit body, but she can already condense a body with substantial weight, and she has a faint mountain spirit on her body, which can almost be called a mountain spirit, if not, she will not be able to withstand the devouring of the evil curse.
In addition, the Taoist priest said that he had just lost his essence and blood, and carved the Heavenly Master's blood talisman on the soul cultivation bottle, which could restrain all the spirit and evil things, and the evil curse breath would never be able to escape. I was taken aback when I heard this, wouldn't Lan have also been suppressed by the Blood Talisman when I said such a thing?
The Taoist priest sighed and said that he only had this way now, and if he left it alone, at most in less than half an hour, Lan would definitely be swallowed by the evil curse and his soul would be scattered. Only by suppressing Lan and the evil spell together so that neither can they do anything, can Lan be temporarily saved. However, he reassured me that the Celestial Master's blood talisman only had a suppressive effect, but it could not hurt the contents of the bottle, and when there was a way to restrain the evil spell, he would untie the blood talisman.
I said in my heart that this was the only way, and I hurriedly put away the soul nourishing bottle in my hand carefully, and secretly made up my mind that no matter what, I must save her.
Just thinking about it, Sister Bailing is back.
Her first reaction when she saw me was to be stunned, and then she threw down the herbs in her hand and hugged me, asking long and short questions, and she was almost crying with joy.
I told Lan about giving up her body to save myself but being infected with evil spells, Sister Bailing first felt incredible, and then let out a long sigh, let me not worry about this first, I should go back to the village immediately now, and said that grandma may have a way.
At this time, I thought about the changes that happened in the village, and I don't know what the situation is now, did the third uncle rescue my grandmother and other villagers? Thinking of this, my heart immediately hung again.
Sister Bailing's words are not unreasonable, the night is deep, and the mysterious Yeling is pitch black, I glanced at the forest, and suddenly felt cold, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me in the ink-like darkness.
I couldn't help but shudder, glanced at the pile of sacrifices on the ground that almost misled me into Yeling and the strips of clothes hanging on the branches, and hurriedly grabbed Sister Bailing and asked, "Sister Bailing, did grandma put these things here?" ”
"Huh?" Sister Bailing was slightly stunned, looked down, and wondered: "There is indeed a bowl missing at home, why is it here?" I didn't see her bring these last time I accompanied the old man! ”
My heart suddenly sank, and countless questions came to my mind at once, and I hurriedly asked, "Sister Bailing, have you ever seen your grandmother raise this kind of bug?" ”
As I spoke, I leaned over and picked up a few strange insects that had died next to the sacrifice, and brought them to Sister Bailing for her to see. This kind of insect is not big, and because of the darkness of the night, it is difficult to find these if you don't get close.
After just one glance, Sister Bailing's face changed, she snatched the insect corpse in my hand, turned it over and looked at it carefully several times, and then said in disbelief: "This is a thousand-legged centipede raised by the old man, it is a special Gu, non-toxic, but it has great medicinal value, the old man is generally only used for medicine, the baby is tight, how can it appear here, and he has died so much?" ”
At this time, Sister Bailing also noticed the insect corpses lined up on the ground that stretched all the way to Yeling, and her face was incredulous.
"Look at the direction of these insects, their heads are all facing outward, and they look like they are crawling out of the woods, huh? How does that rag resemble the old lady's clothes? The Taoist priest noticed these details and exclaimed.
Seeing his reaction, I was even more puzzled, poked him, and asked: "Hey, I said, I have already stepped in with one foot just now, fortunately you stopped me, you said that the trap at this time, let me not go in, the trap you were referring to at that time, didn't you refer to the rag?" ”
"Rags? Dao Ye was in a hurry to stop you when he came, and you almost burped after stopping you, Dao Ye's attention was attracted by you, and he didn't pay attention to it, and now he found out that thing, I mean that this forest is a trap, and you can't go in. ”
The Taoist priest was a little inexplicable, and after listening to his words, I was even more surprised. No, there is a problem, there must be a problem.
Seeing that my face was ugly, the Taoist priest asked me: "Reporter, what's the matter, what the hell did you think of, you can say it, don't be shocked, it's gloomy here, and the little heart of the Taoist can't stand your fright." ”
I ignored the Taoist priest, and at this time, Sister Bailing seemed to think of something, her face changed, and she suddenly said: "Xiaoyi, should you doubt ......?"
Sister Bailing didn't say anything further, but I knew she had guessed what I was thinking of. The Taoist priest still didn't understand, scratched his ears and cheeks, and scolded unhappily: "Immeasurable, your grandmother is a Tianzun, can we talk more than half a sentence?" Damn, you are bullying Dao Ye, an outsider! ”
I said in my heart that this dog is usually so clever, why is his brain turning so slowly now, so I told him, "I suspect that my grandmother has entered Yeling!" ”
Obviously, all kinds of signs outside, whether it is sacrifices, insect corpses, or rags hanging at the entrance of Yeling, all point to a possibility, that is, grandma has entered, entered Yeling, and she has an accident inside, so these Gu worms are released as a distress signal.
After listening to my speculation, the Taoist priest immediately patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Immeasurable Tianzun, you are really worthy of being a reporter, do you guys usually watch too many suspense movies, there is such a suspenseful thing, if your grandmother is trapped inside, then the person your third uncle saw is a ghost?" Besides, your third uncle also said that those people from the Heavenly Witch Sect have been planning for this operation for a long time, and they even did not hesitate to set up a corpse refining town outside the village, planning to refine the entire village into a ghost village, it is not impossible to have such a large-scale organization, it is not impossible to spread these illusions here a few days in advance to lure you in, why are you so stupid? ”
I didn't speak, I had thought about this possibility before, and when I first heard the Taoist priest say that it was a trap, I instinctively thought that the clothes hanging at the entrance of Yeling were deliberately placed there to lure me in. After that, the Taoist priest told me about the experience of meeting the third uncle, and then let me know about the situation in the village, and I was even more convinced that it was a trap that led me into Yeling, but what I didn't expect was that the trap that the Taoist priest referred to refers to the entire Yeling, which are two completely different concepts.
If the rags and those traces on the ground are traps, then these may be the arrangements of the Heavenly Witch Sect, but if the entire Yeling is a trap, then it is meaningless to tell me that Yeling is a trap.
It's like there is a poisonous spring in the village, and everyone knows that this spring is poisonous, but one day, a family's child is missing, and they look for it, and they only find the child's shoes by the poisonous spring, and then someone tells you that the shoes are a trap, that someone wants to kill you, and that your child is not in it at all. At this time, you may not fall for this, and if someone tells you that this spring is a trap, that the spring water is poisonous, and that you should not go in, this is equivalent to, who doesn't know that the spring water is poisonous? But for the sake of the child, he has to go down.
I told the Taoist priest the difference between the two, and the Taoist priest went around for a while before he understood: "Damn, you have been around for so long a day, and what you are entangled with is this?" What the hell does this have to do with the conspiracy of the Heavenly Witch Sect? ”
"Of course it does!" This time, without waiting for me to speak, Sister Bailing pulled her hair and already explained: "Have you ever thought that we didn't have a plan in advance to go into the mountains to find people this time, how did the Heavenly Witch Sect know?" Moreover, the direction of our search for people after entering the mountain has no purpose at all, at first none of us thought about going to Yeling, it was Xiao Yi who later thought that the old man had entered Yeling a few days ago to take that kind of strange tree root, we temporarily decided to go to Yeling, how did the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect know that we would definitely go to Yeling, and temporarily make a false appearance? ”
After Sister Bailing said this, the Taoist priest also frowned, but he was still puzzled: "According to what you say, the old lady is still trapped in this forest?" This is impossible, didn't your third uncle say it, your grandmother didn't go into the mountain at all, but was trapped in the ancestral hall with a group of old men and old ladies, what your third uncle saw with his own eyes, can there be fake? ”
The Taoist priest mentioned this point is exactly what I can't understand, and that's what I'm worried about, if these things outside Yeling are true, it means that grandma must have been here yesterday, and even been trapped in Yeling, so she released the thousand-foot centipede that she regarded as a treasure for help.
But if that's the case, the grandmother that the third uncle saw must not be my grandmother, in that case, things will be even more complicated. The third uncle was deceived, what is the origin of the person who can deceive the third uncle's eyes? If the third uncle was really deceived, then the situation in the village must not be what he and Sister Bailing said, in this case, wouldn't he be caught in the net when he returned to the village?
The worst thing is not these, if the matter is what we guessed, grandma is trapped in Yeling and cannot get out, we have to face this mysterious and mysterious forbidden place in front of us.
Things were all messed up, and it was impossible to distinguish between true and false, and at this moment, the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed, and he said an even more terrible guess: "Reporter, could it be that your third uncle is also fake?" ”
