Chapter 35: The Blood of the Green Worm
Qi Lu looked at the demon blood on the paper that had turned iron-brown, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
You must know that no matter how long a monster cultivates, although his body can transform into a human form, and even his organs become the same as a human, there is one thing that will never be the same as a human, and that is his blood.
Youkai who have cultivated to the highest level will mutate the blood in their bodies and turn into a disgusting green, but they will not be able to make their blood the same composition as human blood.
What Qi Lu has to do now is to test the composition of the blood, and then deduce the type of monster, so as to find out the truth of the facts.
At first, Qi Lu thought that this monster was a demon of calamity, but after fighting with him last time, Qi Lu realized that he had misjudged it, because calamity was a monster that used the fire demon method, and all the spells of this monster were related to the earth element.
Through these days of investigation, Qi Lu has been able to conclude that this monster is the mastermind behind it, and he, like Lin Bo, wants to get the Songwen Sword. What kind of secret is the Songwen Sword hiding, there are so many people who are not afraid of the curse of the magic sword and want to get it urgently Qi Lu didn't know the reason, but Qi Lu knew that as long as he caught this monster, he would naturally tell himself the reason.
It's getting late, and it's too late to find a professional institution to test the ingredients of the blood. And as a human laboratory agency, whether he can recognize the true identity of the monster through blood, Qi Lu does not have much confidence, he decides to use another method to solve this problem.
Qi Lu smoked a cigarette first, and then prepared the corresponding utensils, and he began to be busy.
There was a black gold basin on the table in front of Qi Road, judging from the peeling paint on its edges and the mythological patterns depicted around it, this basin was probably some age, it could be regarded as an antique, not an imitation made in modern times.
Qi Lu first wrote a rune on a piece of yellow mounted paper, and then held it in his hand and recited an obscure incantation. As the incantation was recited, Qi Lu lightly placed the talisman paper in the clear water in the basin.
After he finished reciting the incantation, the water in the basin also became muddy, and Qi Lu tore off the blood-stained napkin and put it into the water.
Qi Lu recited another spell in his mouth, as long as this spell was recited, the water in the basin would be clear again, and the runes on the rune paper that sank into the water would disappear completely. And that bloodstained sheet will show a color different from the blood stain itself under the dual mana of spells and runes, and Qi Lu will be able to identify the identity of the monster according to the color of the new blood sample and the corresponding information of Tu Suoji.
This is the blood test method commonly used by soul crossers, and since this method is not spread to the outside world, outsiders know very little. Using this method to identify the identity of the monster has a high accuracy rate, even if it can't fully verify its true identity, it can greatly narrow down the range, so that the soul master can use the corresponding spell when dealing with the monster, and make himself invincible.
But the result of the practice was beyond Qi Lu's expectations, although the handwriting on his newly written rune paper was completely hidden, the blood stains on the soaked napkin also disappeared.
Could it be that his rune was written wrong, or was there a mistake in the spell Qi Lu wondered, he recalled the details of each practice, and did not find anything wrong with it.
Qi Lu was about to open the laptop computer and look up the reason for the failure of the method in the computer, when he suddenly realized that he had neglected a detail, and it was this detail that caused him to fail.
Because Qi Lu had already imprinted an induction charm written with his own blood on his body before obtaining the blood of the monster. It was this blood talisman that interfered with Qi Lu's demon-seeking blood test and made him fail.
Qi Lu found the reason, and was a little discouraged, it turned out that he had been busy for half a day.
This road is impassable, it seems that the investigation has entered a dead end again, Qi Lu sat down and smoked again. said that he was smoking, but in fact, he was also taking the rest time to rethink how to solve the case.
When he smoked two cigarettes in succession, he finally came up with a way to crack it, since the blood test of the demon search didn't work, he simply used the induction charm to directly find the whereabouts of the monster. As long as he finds a place for the monster to live, and when Lao Wu comes back, the two of them will join forces to capture him on the spot, and they are afraid that he will not confess truthfully, even if he is hard-mouthed, Qi Lu has many ways to rectify the monster, and he believes that he has the ability to pry open the monster's mouth.
With his mind already decided, Qi Lu no longer hesitated, he walked into the inner room, and opened the safe placed in the corner with the key, which was full of glass bottles of different sizes, as well as some small crockpots, giving people the feeling that this was not a safe, but a cabinet for medicine.
Qi Lu rummaged in the cabinet for a long time, and finally took out a small bottle filled with green liquid.
Qi Lu changed the basin of water again, then removed the seal on the bottle, unscrewed the cap, carefully dripped the liquid inside into the basin, resealed the cap, and then locked the bottle back to the safe, and returned to the table.
In less than a moment, the green liquid dyed the water in the basin a turquoise color, and there was a faint glowing green light shining in the water.
Qi Lu clasped his palms together, and prayed secretly in his heart: "Green worm, it's all up to you this time."
The frog is a fairy insect that grows in Tianyu Mountain, it is shaped like a cicada, but it has beautiful wings like a butterfly, and it will fly 800 miles day and night without getting lost. At the same time, it also has a peculiar ability, that is, no matter who takes its eggs, the female frog can quickly find the place where the eggs are hidden, even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers.
The liquid that Qi Lu dripped into the basin was the blood of the green worm, and some people who were good at witchcraft in the south of ancient China used the deep idea of the mother and son of the green worm to smear its blood on the coin, and then use this money to buy things. The used money will automatically fly back to the owner at night, and so on, and the caster will become very rich.
Qi Lu is not a greedy person for money, these green worm blood that he finally collected has long been controlled by Lao Wu with a special charm, and at the same time, it retains all the functions of the insect body when it was alive.
Qi Lu is now going to use the unique properties of the green worm's blood to help him find the traces of the monster. He wrote a charm with a red pen and threw it into the water.
The basin of green water suddenly flowed along the rune paper as if it had life, and the runes that had just been written on the rune paper disappeared little by little, as if they were swallowed by the green water.
Qi Lu wanted this effect, this spirit rune that was exactly the same spell as the imprint on the monster's body, had been engraved in the blood of the frog at this time, so that the blood had a memory function. What Qi Lu had to do next was to infuse the blood of the monster into the blood of the frog, and then let it follow the breath to find the whereabouts of the monster.
Qi Lu recited another spell and put the napkin stained with monster blood into the water. He nervously watched the change in the blood stains on the paper, for fear that this time it would end in failure again. In that case, there is really nothing I can do.
The blood stains on the paper gradually faded with the flow of green water, and finally turned a faint light red.
Qi Lu secretly screamed that it was not good, there was only one possibility for such a result, that is, the monster had discovered the induction charm imprinted on his body, and he had cast a spell to completely eliminate the induction charm.
"Forgive you like a ghost, this handsome guy also has a way to deal with you"
After Qi Lu cursed, he decided to use the secret technique taught by Lao Wu to summon the spirit body of the frog to help.
He brought a bucket lamp and placed it in the direction facing south with his back to the Ugin basin, and then Qi Lu lit the incense candle on it with his own hands.
In the flickering candle flame, Qi Lu stepped on the sword and chanted the spell, and burned the talisman in front of the lamp. After the ceremony, he solemnly bent down and bowed to the air three times, then got up and pointed his sword at the green water in the basin, and shouted: "E"
In an instant, the flame of the incense candle burning on the bucket lamp was half bright and half extinguished like a strong wind blowing, and the basin water also changed, boiling like boiling hot water, and wisps of green smoke rose in the water, converging into the appearance of a transparent green worm above the basin water. When the smoke-shaped frog was fully formed, it spread its wings and flew out of the open window, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the disappearing frog spirit, Qi Lu showed a satisfied smile on his face, he threw his sword aside, took out his mobile phone, and leisurely played the mobile game inside. All he had to do now was to wait for the Frog Spirit to follow the message left by the blood of the youkai, find the last place when the youkai eliminated the charm, and then bring the news back to himself.
About half an hour later, the spirit of the frog flew back through the crack in the window, and it turned into a cloud of green smoke and fell into the water.
Qi Lu hurriedly put down his mobile phone and looked at the water in the basin.
As the green smoke completely settles in the water, the basin water becomes a puddle of turquoise. In just a few seconds, the green water moved, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle of the water, it was spinning at high speed, and when the whirlpool gradually calmed down, the basin turned into a huge jade.
The jadeite began to become transparent, and a faint image appeared inside. Qi Lu smiled proudly, and he craned his neck to look at the message displayed by the jade.
didn't look at it, who knew that this look suddenly surprised him, and his eyeballs almost fell out
This image is a temple, Qi Lu is very familiar with this temple, it is Guanyin Temple
Why, why did the monster eliminate the induction charm, and the final place to settle would be Guanyin Temple, aren't you afraid that Master Wutong will subdue him on the spot This is the way to find death Qi Lu slapped his head with his hand, and he couldn't figure out the motive of the monster.
Just as Qi Lu was thinking, the water jade suddenly found a cracking sound with a click, and then countless golden rays of light burst out from the cracks in the jadeite, shooting straight towards Qi Lu
"Oops" Qi Lu yelled badly, and his body hurried a backflip in the direction where the golden light came from, successfully avoiding these deadly golden lights.
The golden light flew into the air, and all of them shot on the walls of the room, leaving holes of different sizes, stirring up a burst of white dust with the smell of lime, choking Qi Lu and coughing.
Just as he came back to his senses, he heard a "pop", and the Ugin basin cracked into four or five pieces, and the green water inside flowed down the table to the ground. The napkin stained with the blood of the youkai caught fire in an instant.
Qi Lu couldn't save it, he didn't expect that this soaked one would burn to ashes in a blink of an eye, and his whole body was stunned, feeling that he was stealing chickens and not being able to fight back.
A burst of cold air suddenly rolled up in the green water on the ground, blackening the incense and candles, and the paper on the wall was flying with ashes, making Qi Lu feel creepy.
