Chapter 0028: Gu Worm
Xie Yu wrapped the insect with a handkerchief.
Regardless of whether it happened to run into the coffin of the sixth child, this bug can be described as a major discovery for Xie Yu.
Back in the forest, when I met Pei Heng and his party coming out of the forest.
Xie Yu bowed her head, and then raised her hand and took out the long black worm from her sleeve and handed it to Pei Heng.
Pei Heng opened the handkerchief, and he was a little frightened in his heart, this insect had no feet, but looking at the bones protruding from the soft body, it was as if these bones were its feet.
"I'll leave this matter to investigate, I think it will be clear in a few days." Cui Yun said.
There are thousands of books about poisonous insects in the prefect's mansion, and at first Cui Yun was only interested in these things, but now it can come in handy.
Five days later, Cui Yun sent his subordinates to spread the news to the Yamen.
Xie Yu opened the letter for Pei Heng, and on it was Cui Yun's vigorous and powerful font: This thing is a Gu worm.
It can be seen that these dead people have been given Gu, and these Gu poisons accumulate little by little before the deceased are alive, and when these Gu worms are full of food and drink, it is the time when they die.
——
Xie Yu felt a chill in her heart, if this was really the case, then it was enough to prove how ruthless the person who poisoned him was, and he killed so many people in such a cruel way.
After Pei Heng knew that the cause of their death was all Gu worms, he was silent for a while.
The wounds were torn and the deaths were tragic, all because of the Gu poison.
All these signs can show that this case is inextricably linked to the Longmen Temple. If you want to solve the case, you can only start from the Longmen Temple.
Pei Heng ordered that the people from the Yamen would set off tomorrow to investigate the case at the Longmen Temple.
If this matter drags on any longer, I'm afraid there will be more dead in the city!
Early the next morning, Xie Yu got up early in the morning and went to the main hall of the yamen to report.
There were not many people who went to the Longmen Temple, Pei Heng was the leader, Xie Yu was the auxiliary, and there were two accompanying officials who followed behind them in case of emergency.
After Hui Chan's death, the Longmen Temple was particularly desolate without anyone presiding over it.
The withered fallen leaves are piled up on the ground in a thick layer, and the Longmen Temple is basically empty because of the accident, so this blue sky and white day are also extraordinarily quiet.
They first looked inside the outer courtyard, but found nothing but some worn branches and fallen door frames.
The crisp creaking sound of a few people's feet stepping on the leaves suddenly echoed from the courtyard.
Pei Heng raised his hand and motioned for the others not to move.
The door of the temple was opened little by little, and as soon as everyone's swords came out, the person who appeared from the temple turned out to be Cui Yun.
"Why are you here?" The two said at the same time.
"This official also found this place suspicious." Cui Yun explained simply, his eyes stretched out, and his black eyes were a little deep: "Come in and take a look." ”
It seems that Cui Yun should have discovered something.
Several people followed Cui Yun into the ancestral hall of the temple, and as soon as they opened the door of the ancestral hall, they found that Master Liu was also here!
But before he could salute, a pungent fishy smell came out, and Xie Yu almost didn't vomit.
I saw that the dark and empty ancestral hall was covered with red cloth, and a strange aura came from the ancestral hall.
Everyone looked at the red cloth thoughtfully.
These are the reasons for this. A red cloth dyed with the blood of the Son?
Cui Yun's face was not very good, and now he learned that these red belts were all from. The blood of the woman is formed, and she feels disgusting for no reason.
"Master Liu, let's tear up all the red belts in the main hall." He frowned and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
Master Liu seemed to see that something was not quite right with Cui Yun, and quickly removed the red cloth, Pei Heng also gave his subordinates a look, and they also set off to take off the red cloth in the ancestral hall.
Xie Yu just wanted to move, but Pei Heng grabbed her and said coldly, "You wait here." ”
Then she stopped and waited obediently in the distance.
But...... It's also strange, they are all officials, why is she waiting in the same place!
At noon, the sun turns hot. hot, because this matter has a certain connection with Wang Xiang'er's father, so she also stepped on the noon sun and came to everyone.
After the rest, there was still nothing wrong with the temple, except for the bloody red belts.
Xie Yu walked to the Buddha statue with nothing to do, and the sunlight shot on the glass pupils of the Buddha statue from the carving of the main hall.
She looked at those eyes of compassion for all beings, and the more she looked at them, the more strange she felt, and then there seemed to be something strange in the Buddha statue. A group of people who were far away from the Buddha statue also heard the sound inside the Buddha statue, and quickly got up, quieted down for a moment, and listened attentively to the movement in the Buddha statue.
However, Master Liu took the initiative to come forward to investigate, stretched out his hand in his sleeve, and knocked on the body of the Buddha statue.
An ethereal voice came from inside the Buddha statue, and it seemed that the inside of the Buddha statue should be hollow, but listening to this percussion sound, I thought that there should be something in the Buddha statue.
"There's something in the Buddha statue." Master Liu spoke up.
Pei Heng stepped forward and approached the Buddha statue, but he didn't know why, it had been a while since the red belt was removed, but why was the fishy smell still echoing in the hall, and the closer he got to the Buddha statue in front of him, the stronger the fishy smell became?
Could it be that this Buddha statue is the source of the true taste?
Cui Yun ordered people to smash the Buddha statue in front of him, but his subordinates hesitated: "Prefect, the Buddha statue is a Buddha object, how can it be destroyed at will?" ”
Buddha objects? Hearing this, the corners of Xie Yu's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, if this Buddha object bothered the people in the city, why not slam her door open?
"The Buddha knows our intentions, and he will not blame them." Cui Yun replied.
The subordinates smashed open the Buddha statue with stones, but from the head of the Buddha statue, a large number of black insects that she had seen in the coffin of the sixth child yesterday poured out. One by one, the moment the Buddha statue was smashed open, a huge fishy smell came to the nose, it turned out that the fishy smell that the people in the city had been smelling all the time had always been from the Gu worms in the Buddha statue in the Longmen Temple.
The scene in front of them was too disgusting, and everyone was still stuck in the scene of Gu worms gushing out, Cui Yun's subordinates churned in their stomachs, but they still endured a strong vomit and approached the other Buddha statues, smashing the heads of the Buddha statues one by one.
Suddenly, some of the Gu worms that came out of the Buddha statue saw the air outside, and they all curled up one after another, as if they were stimulated by the red belt that was piled up next to the Buddha statue and nourished by menstrual blood, and began to move little by little.
The sticky liquid secreted on the side of the Gu worms, one by one snaked like snakes, and the most unacceptable thing was that when they were alive, the dense small tumors around their bodies were swollen, as if they were about to burst open.
Xie Yu frowned and watched as these Gu worms began to gradually resurrect, only to realize that these Gu worms should be nourished by the menstrual blood on the red belt, so they smelled the smell of menstrual blood, and they may gradually wake up.
After the Buddha statues were opened one after another, the Gu worms that surged down from the Buddha statues almost spread to everyone's feet.
Wang Xiang'er didn't move before, but when she saw so many black strange-shaped Gu worms, she couldn't help screaming anymore.
Those Gu worms seemed to stretch their muscles and bones one by one, first crawling all over the place where the red belt was stacked before, and the Gu worms that crawled out of the red belt were extremely fast.
Xie Yu watched the Gu worms crawl towards her little by little, and suddenly thought that she was still here today.
These Gu worms are all made of places. The women's menstrual blood locks nourish, so they should be able to feel the breath of Xie Yu's body. Those Gu worms are extremely sensitive to this aspect. sense, coupled with the fact that they had not been nourished by menstrual blood for a long time, those active Gu worms quickly crawled towards Xie Yu.
Seeing this, Wang Xiang'er screamed again in fright, and hurriedly hid on the round table behind Xie An.
Everyone retreated to the sun, Xie Yu pulled Wang Xiang'er and jumped outside the hall far away from the Gu worms, those Gu worms were still menacing Xie Yu and Wang Xiang'er before, but when they reached the interface between the shadow and the sun, those Gu worms refused to move as if they were being scorched by the sun, just curled up in the shadows.
Pei Heng watched the Gu worm writhe his body in pain for a while, and then stopped moving.
Some Gu worms came one after another, but when they arrived in the sun, they behaved the same as the previous Gu worms.
"The sunlight has an effect on them, Xie Yu, go to the sun." Cui Yun shouted at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu nodded, had the same discovery as Cui Yun, and went directly to the most obvious place of the sun.
Fortunately, it was noon, if it was night, then Xie Yu would have been eaten by these Gu worms by now.
After all, Wang Xiang'er is still a little girl who has never seen any scenes, she sat on the round table in front of her with her legs and silently touched her tears, looking so pitiful.
"Are you alright?" Xie Yu walked up to her and asked with concern.
Wang Xiang'er raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yu's clear eyes, but she had other considerations in her heart.
Why did those Gu worms only go in the direction of Wang Xiang'er and Xie Yu?
"Maybe it's because Wang Xiang'er is a girl, and Xie Yu just happened to be standing in front of everyone." Pei Heng said coldly, his handsome face changed a little, since he came to the Longmen Temple, he has always cherished words like gold, Xie Yu didn't expect Pei Heng's statement to really help her.
Otherwise, wouldn't her identity be in front of everyone?
"Lord Kipchak is right, right." Xie Yu smiled and nodded, and the others didn't think too much about Xie Yu's affairs, after all, these Gu worms were too weird, and they were related to the case, and everyone wanted to know what the face of this criminal was.
As she spoke, those Gu worms were already filled with the dividing line between sunlight and shadow, but she noticed that a group of Gu worms were speeding forward from the shadows next to them, and the target was not herself, but to the west.
What's there?
Maybe the others hadn't noticed that the Gu worms had sneaked away from the shadow next to him, and suddenly the person brought by Master Liu was standing in the shade to enjoy the shade, he watched the Gu worms surging in his direction, and screamed in fright, and then stomped on those Gu worms that were close to him with his feet.
"Don't!" Cui Yun shouted: "Don't move! ”
