Chapter Fifty-Seven: Zhong Gu
"I see, it's the ice corpse!"
"Ice corpses?" I was stunned, but then I understood what the doctor was referring to, and my face couldn't help but change.
Lin Qiao'er looked curious, looked at the reaction of the two of us, and couldn't help but ask: "How is it, do you remember?" ”
The doctor and I looked solemn and told me about the night the doctor arrived and I was attacked by ice corpses near my rented house. It was the only possibility I could think of, because I couldn't think of anything I had touched other than the ice corpse.
After listening to my narration, the old turtle grinned and said, "That's right, the most ideal hotbed for raising corpse Gu is the ice corpse. ”
After getting the old turtle's affirmative reply, our faces became ugly, I really didn't expect that the attack that night was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface, the ice corpse, the fire corpse poison, plus the corpse Gu that only appeared now, this is a triple killing machine!
I was secretly frightened, and the Taoist priest muttered at this time: "Immeasurable Tianzun, why did the Taoist master just leave for two days, and you encountered so many things, alas, it really doesn't make people worry!" ”
At this time, I didn't bother to quarrel with him, corpse Gu, I haven't seen it in the master's codex, I don't know if I haven't read it yet, or if his old man doesn't know this kind of Gu? I had to ask the old turtle for help to solve the Gu.
The old turtle squinted his eyes, stared at my eyes carefully for a long time, and then shook his head and said: "Corpse roundworms, because of the characteristics of controlling corpses, were originally used by many folk corpse chasers to drive away corpses, and then they were refined into corpse roundworms by the Southern Xinjiang Gu Dao Dana, which was used to treat the disease of living death. ”
"People who have fallen into this kind of Gu are particularly prone to mental fatigue and drowsiness, once they enter the state of sleep, the corpse Gu worms in the body will occupy the control of the body, thus controlling the unconscious actions of the person in the dream, as if sleepwalking."
"This kind of Gu is very difficult to solve, uncle can't help it now!"
The old turtle's words made my face ugly all of a sudden, big - master, this old guy has said so much, just to scare us, is it useless to fart?
The Taoist priest was also a little depressed, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old turtle's words: "Uncle can't help it now, it doesn't mean that there is no way!" ”
The old turtle grinned, raised his head, and said extremely arrogantly: "In this world, thaumaturgical witch Gu, the uncle said second, no one dares to call it the first, don't worry, little reporter, the uncle will cover you!" ”
The old turtle's words made me can't help but roll my eyes, and said in my heart How can there be such an unreliable person in this world, no, it should be a turtle.
Although I complained in my heart, I still asked politely on the surface: "Master Turtle, I know that you have magical powers, but after all, this Gu is on me, if you don't tell me how to solve it, I am not sure!" ”
The old turtle seemed to be extremely useful for other people's sycophants and flattery, and the two mung bean eyes narrowed, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, since you know how powerful the uncle is, then the uncle will do well, let me tell you the truth, the difficulty of the corpse Gu is that it cannot be found, this thing can only survive in a dead corpse, but after refining into a Gu, it can also survive in the body of a living person, but the state is a little peculiar." ”
"When the person's consciousness is in a waking state, the Gu worm is lurking in the host's body, in a dormant state, unless the person is cut open entirely, little by little, there is no way to find it. And when the person is asleep and the consciousness is weak, the Gu worm will become active, controlling the host to wander around, only at this time, the corpse ascaris is located in the Tiancong acupoint, and some means can be used to lure it out or kill, otherwise even if it is an immortal, there is no way to solve this Gu. ”
"Now, you understand what Uncle means, right? It's not that the uncle can't solve it, but it's not time to solve it, so you can honestly wait for the next time you sleepwalk! ”
The doctor was thoughtful, and I finally understood, but the next time I sleepwalked, when would it have to be?
The old turtle retracted his neck and continued to poke his phone with his paws, ignoring my words.
I looked at the Taoist priest helplessly, and sighed in my heart, judging from the previous situation, the corpse Gu does not attack every time I dream, if it does not attack in the next week, or even a month, then wouldn't I have to be so worried all the time?
Moreover, there is a question that still lingers in my mind, even if the corpse Gu made me sleepwalk, then how did I appear in the deep mountains more than a hundred kilometers away?
I looked at the doctor and found that there was also suspicion between his eyebrows, and I knew that he was also suspicious, but now this matter has finally come to an eyebrow, and if I continue to dig deeper, it will only make everyone more nervous, so I tacitly agreed with the doctor not to mention it again.
Although I woke up, my body was still very weak, and in order to let me recover as soon as possible, several people retreated, leaving only Lin Qiaoer to take care of me.
Perhaps due to the influence of the old turtle's words, I subconsciously didn't dare to sleep to death, so I spent almost the whole day half-asleep and half-awake.
In the evening, my health improved a lot, and with the support of Lin Qiaoer, I came to the lobby to have dinner with them.
Seeing that I was not only awake, but also able to walk on the ground, Lao Gui was very happy, after all, I am his boss now, if something happens to me, it will have a great impact on his reputation in the village in the future, and he is also a kind person.
After dinner, because the temperature turned cold, we didn't rush back to the room, so we made a fire in the lobby. It was a very old fire pit, just in the corner of the hall, with large rocks in a deep pit dug in the floor of the hall, and there was a chimney on the top of the fire pit.
A group of us gathered around the fire, enjoying the warmth of the fire jumping in the fire, chatting and chatting, the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
Lao Gui's daughter, the girl named Xiuling, also came up and was next to the doctor. Originally, the person next to the doctor was a Taoist priest, this guy had an old turtle on his head, and Lin Qiao'er was blowing about his glorious deeds of subduing demons and eliminating demons back then.
Looking at the Taoist priest who was being beaten by the old turtle and screaming again and again, Lin Qiaoer and I couldn't help laughing, but Xiu Ling was a little surprised at the beginning how the Taoist priest could have such a domineering old turtle on his head, and then he didn't pay attention at all, just blushed and talked to the doctor, which made me envious.
The fire was very warm, and the atmosphere was also very warm, and after Lao Gui finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he also joined in, and a group of people sat in a circle directly around the fire pit.
Lao Gui sighed and said: "Oh, this house hasn't been so lively for a long time, I remember the last time it was like this, it was five years ago, when her aunt came......
As he spoke, Lao Gui's face showed a strong sense of memory and nostalgia, and even Lingxiu, who was devoted to the doctor, heard Lao Gui talk about her aunt, and her face was full of reminiscence.
