Chapter 276: Seed Gu
Seeing something squirming faintly by the door, Liu Yu immediately shouted, "Little fool, it seems to be a big snake outside!" ”
Orochi?
Why is there a big snake in the haunted house?
"Let's go out first, this house is too evil to stay for long."
At the same time as Liu Yu's words fell, he grabbed my waist with one hand, and then rushed out towards the broken window before.
I was worried about Duan Ruoxue at this time, so I hurriedly said to Liu Yu, "I'm afraid Sister Ruoxue is still somewhere in the house." ”
Liu Mo didn't reply, "She shouldn't be in the house, there may be a problem on the way you came up just now, she was on that road." ”
Liu Yu asked me to deal with the big snake first, otherwise this thing will follow all the way, and it will be a trouble after all.
But I don't know what's going on, just as Liu Yu and I floated out, the thing at the door, as if sensing something, only stayed for a second or two, and then took advantage of the cover of the night at a very fast speed, and disappeared into the darkness.
And with the departure of the big snake, the surrounding air also returned to its normal state, no longer with the slightest cold feeling as before.
"This snake is not simple, the cold on its body can have such a big impact."
Liu Yu said that it is estimated that it is a snake that is about to become a Jiao.
I looked in the direction that the snake had scareped, and wondered, what the hell did it hit tonight?
It's a clay figure and a big snake that is about to become a dragon, but fortunately it didn't run into a miasma, otherwise it would not have been so easy to get out.
After a while, along the dark mountain road, on the edge of the cliff on one side, I found Duan Ruoxue.
She's rushing in my direction right now, too.
Seeing me, Duan Ruoxue looked surprised, "Lu Yuan, what's the matter with you, I called you before, why can't you hear me?" ”
I said, we have fallen for the evil of those yin people, but fortunately, nothing happened.
Seeing that Liu Mo was also there, Duan Ruoxue nodded, and then sighed, "I underestimated them before, I didn't expect these guys to have such skills." ”
I said, "The legend of the clay figure in Dragonbone Town, and the miasma of the corpse are all true, because the clay figure has already appeared." ”
Liu Yu said: "I'm afraid it's not just the mud figures, have you noticed, there is moisture all the way, and the big snake is also very suspicious." ”
Duan Ruoxue and I listened to Liu Yuyi, and we both looked carefully towards the way we came, and sure enough, we saw some wet water droplets on the ground on both sides.
The water droplets mixed with the sand and mud on the ground, and at a glance it was clear that they were the marks left by some behemoth dragging them.
"What does the snake have to do with these clay figures?" After Duan Ruoxue saw it, she couldn't help but speak.
I said, it is not surprising that there are big snakes in the mountains, the location of the dragon bone town is remote, the mountains and forests are dense, not to mention snakes, I am afraid that there are many other birds and beasts.
But Liu Mo was dismissive of my words, and she waved her hand mischievously at me, "Little fool, what you said is completely wrong, it is obvious that the big snake must have something to do with the miasma." ”
"Liu Yu, what do you mean is that the snake is controlled by a miasma?"
Liu Mo grinned, "Didn't the blue-headed ghost say before, the old green coffin was wrapped around a big green snake, and it was later released into the river." ”
"It must be this big snake who is doing the trick, you see, there are traces of water along the way, which means that there is obviously water in the place where the big snake came out."
Duan Ruoxue nodded, looked at Liu Mo and said, "Second Miss's analysis is indeed reasonable, it seems that this trip is not that we unintentionally bumped into it, but that these things have been waiting for us for a long time." ”
When I think about it carefully, it seems to be the same thing, but I don't know, how can a snake and a few clay figurines be so human?
If there is someone behind the control, then who will this person be?
After I said this idea, Duan Ruoxue immediately looked at me and said, "It's not difficult to control a thing, just take that clay figure as an example, as long as the other party understands some advanced secret techniques, it is not impossible to let the clay figure move freely." ”
"As for that big snake, it's even simpler, have you heard of the Gu seed?"
I nodded, "Yes." ”
"If the big snake is planted with Gu in its body, it is not difficult to control it."
Duan Ruoxue said that the Gu is a kind of witchcraft that is very popular in the Miao Jiang area, and it is said that all people or animals who are in the Gu will obey the arrangement of the Gu people, which is very mysterious.
It can be used to harm or save people, but as for what is going on, no one can say clearly.
However, there is indeed a parasite in the world that is somewhat similar to Gu Seeding, and once infected by this kind of thing, then the infected person will become a puppet.
This parasite is actually a fungus called Cordyceps lateralis. The fungus is at least 48 million years old, and they are able to control insects to turn them into "zombie insects" until the puppets die.
As long as they are infected by this fungus, the infected person will lose their sense of self and behave abnormally under the control of the fungus.
So this is somewhat similar to the same kind of Gu, but Liu Yu has another opinion on the matter of the big snake.
She said that the big snake was a spiritual creature that turned into a fast-turning Jiao, and it should not have been planted with Gu, but it had a great relationship with the miasma corpse.
So far, we don't know if the miasma corpse is the old Huayang immortal, and there is no way to find out where the body was buried.
Now the serpent and the clay figure appear at the same time, indicating that our actions have been detected first.
Duan Ruoxue nodded, let me contact Chen Zuo and Bai Xiaodao first, and ask them what they found.
Before I could speak, Chen Zuo asked me to meet in Huayang Alley first.
He said that the current form is a bit complicated, so let me rush over as soon as possible.
I hung up the phone and hurriedly walked with Duan Ruoxue towards Dragon Bone Town.
I finally entered the town, and when I found Huayang Alley, Duan Ruoxue and I were stunned again.
Originally, I thought that Huayang Alley should be a street or an old house, but what we never expected was that it was bare.
"How can it be an open space?"
I asked Chen Zuo if he was in the wrong place.
Chen Zuo shook his head, "We have been investigating for two days, the place is right, this is indeed Huayang Alley." ”
Bai Xiaodao said, "Huayang Alley used to be a street, but then it was hit by a fire, and the whole street burned down, so it has been abandoned until now." ”
I nodded at Bai Xiaodao and asked him, what do you think this time?
Bai Xiaodao smiled at me, "Brother Lu, in fact, I was in a hurry to accept Master's commission, and I didn't even understand much about the Fairy Spirit Gate at that time. ”
"But fortunately, now you and I have finally figured it out, so we don't distinguish each other, the secret of the fairy bone golden seal, my master has explained, let me find someone from the Zhenling Gate......"
Chen Zuo saw that the two of us were far away, and hurriedly interrupted on the side: "The so-called family doesn't speak two words, you are also considered to be brothers in the same family, some things are not too late to talk slowly in the future, the first thing at present is to find out the miasma corpse!" ”
"That's not easy, won't it be over when you find Qiao Chuyi and that Mr. Li back then."
When Liu Yu heard this, he spoke directly.
I nodded, and then told me about it, but Chen Zuo glanced at Bai Xiaodao after hearing this, but shook his head with a gloomy expression, "We're a step too late, Mr. Li is already dead!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What about Qiao Chuyi?" ”
It's impossible, the two insiders have returned to the West together, right?
