Chapter 37: Stone Gu
Reaching out and picking up the thin piece of thing, he took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
There are lines on it, which are very clear, just like the membranous lines on the wings of a butterfly or dragonfly. And the texture is still very hard to the touch, much like the carapace of razor clams, but razor clams belong to shellfish and open from the middle, while this thing has no opening, similar to the shape of a wrench.
While I was studying this thing carefully, my master Ma Hongji didn't know when he appeared in front of me.
"Did you find anything? ...... Hey? Yuyang, where did you find this thing? ”
Before I could reply, my master, Ma Hongji, had already snatched the things from my hands.
"Alas, I'll go! Master, why don't you make a sound when you walk, it scares me to death! ”
I was really taken aback by my master, Ma Hongji, who walked without a sound, like a ghost.
I noticed, however, that his face suddenly sank as he took the things.
We came to the living room.
I opened my mouth and said, "Master, I found it in the bathroom, right next to the floor drain. ”
Ma Hongji looked at me thoughtfully and did not answer me.
Soon, he pulled out a small porcelain bowl from his cloth bag and asked me to fetch some water from the bathroom. Then he put the thing in the porcelain bowl.
Moreover, he also grabbed a little cinnabar powder from the square box on his body and sprinkled it into the porcelain bowl.
Strange to say, the thing soaked in the water didn't change at all, but after the cinnabar was sprinkled in, the thing slowly began to melt. And bubbles appeared in the water.
It was so close that I could feel the heat coming out of the porcelain bowl, as if the water was about to boil.
But before the water boiled, the thing was completely gone.
At this time, the water is black and red, like muddy soup, very turbid.
I didn't know what my master Ma Hongji was doing, so I stood aside and watched silently.
After that, I saw him take out a yellow talisman from his body.
The yellow talisman was triggered by the mana, and it burned instantly, and the black ash that burned out was lifted into the porcelain bowl by my master.
"This talisman is called the 'Manifestation Talisman', and it can show some images." My master said it simply.
I looked at it and found that a phantom slowly rose on the surface of the porcelain bowl "mud soup". But the phantom appeared for only a second, and then vanished.
Even, if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
I was a little confused, my master said that the "Manifestation Talisman" can show some pictures. But I only saw a phantom, and it was so vague that I didn't know what it was.
However, my master nodded, showing an expression of "I see".
"Master, did you find something? Could it be that the piece that just melted is weird? ”
I hurriedly asked.
My master, Ma Hongji, touched his chin and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, the thing you picked up in the bathroom just now is the carapace shed by the Gu worm. In addition, the phantom we saw just now, the teacher already knew what kind of Gu worm it was. ”
I know it's true, it makes me very anxious. I'm a bit acute.
Seeing that my nose was glaring, my master Ma Hongji was not selling Guanzi, and said, "It's a stone Gu!" ”
"Stone Gu?"
I'm very confused by this kind of Gu worm in my heart. I haven't seen it, so I don't know what it is.
My master, Ma Hongji, continued to explain, "Gu worms originated from Gu arts, and Gu techniques actually originated in Nanyang, which is one of the three major evil arts in Nanyang. On our side, the more famous ones who raise and use Gu are the Miao Jiang people. They inflict Gu worms on people's bodies, either to help or to harm people. ”
"There are also many types of Gu worms. Like the stone Gu I said, it is one of the more powerful ones. This kind of Gu worm originally did not have a carapace, but after being raised in a stone for a long time and drinking the blood of a Gu cultivator, it was able to derive a carapace with the help of a stone. ”
"And unlike other Gu worms, this stone Gu is a harmful Gu, once it gets into a person's body, it will turn people into walking dead. Although it will not lead to death, if it is controlled by the Gu caster for a long time, it will eventually kill people......"
My master, Ma Hongji, may also be trying to teach me, so he said it in detail.
I have also understood that the girl with a stiff body is not mentally problematic, but is controlled by the stone Gu.
After thinking about it, I said in my heart, people, we can't be afraid of trouble, we should still be kind. Besides, that girl is pretty good-looking. So I cautiously asked my master, Ma Hongji, "Master, do you have a way to deal with the Stone Gu?" ”
My master did not answer, but frowned slightly, and said quickly, "Not good! Yuyang, let's hide first, the girl you said may be back. ”
Forehead!
When I heard this, my heart was in a hurry. In a hurry, my master and I hid in the bathroom.
Once inside, we turned off the lights inside. The door was also carefully shut.
"Don't worry, since I have met it, I Ma Hongji will not care."
My master was probably afraid that I would worry about the girl, so he approached me and said solemnly.
Although I have only been in contact with my master Ma Hongji for a few days, I don't think he is very attractive, but he is still a very good person.
"Squeak!"
There was a sound of the door opening.
I covered my mouth and held my breath as hard as I could.
However, it seemed a little strange that my master and I were hiding in the narrow bathroom, where a girl lived. Luckily, the girl didn't come to the bathroom.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that my master and I will be regarded as hooligans.
My master opened the bathroom door a little, and he leaned close to the crack in the door to look out.
I was also very curious, so I squatted down and leaned over.
The girl was still staring straight at her, her body was very stiff, and when she entered the room, she stood dumbfounded by the bed for two minutes.
These two minutes are a torment for me.
I thought the girl had noticed something wrong.
However, the girl didn't react much.
Two minutes passed quickly.
The girl finally had a move. There was a "coo, coo" sound coming out of her mouth. That's how I describe it, but it's not quite accurate, it should be said that the sound came from inside her stomach.
My master was afraid that I would make a noise and frighten the girl, so he made a boo gesture at me.
In fact, I was very nervous in my heart, where did I dare to speak.
I saw that the girl slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and then lay down with her body straight.
Like a dead man, the girl's hands were on her chest, her eyes slowly closed, and her body remained motionless. As soon as she lay down like this, the room suddenly became quieter.
I'm not a Lushan Taoist priest now, I don't know anything, I can only follow the arrangement of my master Ma Hongji. If he doesn't move, I don't dare to move.
I thought the girl was tired and came back to sleep.
But I was wrong.
Not long after the girl lay down, the sound of "coo, coo" became even more real. The sound had come from the girl's belly.
But now the voice came out of her mouth.
It wasn't long before I saw the girl's cheeks move.
It wasn't the kind of muscle trembling as she chewed, but something touched her cheeks, slowly lifting the flesh off her face.
Then, there seemed to be a little white smoke coming out of her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a black head and big eyes appeared on the girl's lips, and gently drilled out.
My heart tightened, and my heart said, this black-headed thing should be the stone Gu that my master Ma Hongji said.
Stone Gu's small eyes sparked a few glances around the room, like a cautious and vigilant person.
After making sure that there was no danger around, it slowly emerged from the girl's mouth.
I could see what it looked like. Its body was round, a little smaller than a clenched fist. The surface of the body is covered with a thin layer of black carapace.
The armor has been petrified, and a pair of wings have grown on the left and right.
Near the tail, there are also rows of small spurs-like burrs.
After completely burrowing out of the girl's mouth, the stone Gu also shook off its wings and shook off the liquid on the surface of its body.
My master's gaze stared coldly at the Stone Gu, and his face was ugly.
What made me wonder was that after shaking its wings a few times, the stone Gu actually flew towards the window.
The windows are open and there are no screens.
Directly, the stone Gu flew out of the window.
The time was already Shenshi, and it was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
As for what the stone Gu flew away for, I don't know.
"Squeak!"
My master pushed open the door of the bathroom and walked out.
"Master!" I screamed.
Ma Hongji looked back at me and said, "It's okay, that stone Gu won't come back for the time being." ”
I listened to my master, Ma Hongji, and walked out of the bathroom.
What made me feel strange was that the sound of my master Ma Hongji pushing open the bathroom door was very loud, and the girl lying on the bed, she didn't even react in the slightest, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
She was still alive with even breathing between her mouth and nose.
My master walked up to the girl and looked at her.
I followed and asked curiously, "Master, since that stone Gu has already left, why don't I wake up this girl first?" ”
My master shook his head and said, "Yuyang, this matter is not as easy as you think. Stone Gu seems to have been in this girl's body for a while. The girl was not sleeping now, but was in a coma. ”
"Also, you may not know that in addition to controlling people's minds and confusing people, Stone Gu also has a property, which is to detain people's souls. This girl, her soul has already been taken away by that stone Gu. ”
"However, the stone Gu will already come back as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the soul will return to this girl, and she won't have much of a problem."
"The problem now is to find the Gu caster. It wouldn't be hard if we just wanted to save this girl. As long as the stone Gu flies away from this girl's body, catch it, and fuse this girl's soul into her body, you can save her. ”
"However, there is also a bit of danger here, there is a connection between the Gu Worm and his own Gu worm in the Divine Soul. If we detain the Stone Gu, we will definitely be sensed by the Gu caster. When the time comes, the Gu caster destroys the body of the stone Gu, and even if it is carried, this girl's soul will be shattered. ”
"In that case, not only will we not be able to save her, but we will also harm her!"
My master, Ma Hongji's words, are very clear, and they also make me feel that this matter is not simple.
