Chapter 223: Gu Poison

How good is this, I also panicked, if this continues, we will definitely not be able to get out at dawn, and at that moment, we may not be tortured by that scar bandit.

But as I walked, I suddenly felt that something was wrong here.

It's quiet.

"Why is there no one!" At this moment, Dong Xiaowan also felt that something was wrong, and pulled me for a night, looking at me nervously.

She reminded me, yes, why didn't anyone see it here?

There are a lot of bandits in this cottage, even if it's night, there should be a lot of people standing guard and keeping vigil, right? But why didn't anyone see it tonight?

Could it be that the Scar bandits guessed that we would flee and deliberately set up a game for us? Soon, this idea was denied by me, that scar bandit is obviously a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, he can't have such a city government and schemes, right?

But we didn't go a few steps before we noticed a strange scene, it was not that there were no guards, but that the guards were asleep, just like the two guards who had just guarded us, and they slept very dead, as if they were drunk.

If they hadn't snored, you'd even think they'd be dead.

This scene scares me a lot, even if I sleep, I can't do this, I sleep too blatantly, and all the guards are asleep, this scene is really too weird.

Dong Xiaowan looked at me a few times, as if she was scared, and she hugged my arm harder, looking very nervous.

I patted her and signaled her not to be afraid, for I had a sword at my waist, an arrow on my back, and a bow and arrow in my hand, so that anyone could sleep again at any time as long as he woke up, but I wasn't too nervous.

It's just Dong Xiaowan, no matter how much I comfort me, my hand is still shaking badly, no wonder, a girl, following me, sees such a scene for the first time, experiences such a thing for the first time, can you not be afraid?

At this moment, I even forgot that I am also a woman.

Continuing to walk forward, we had just turned around and walked, and suddenly we saw an even more strange scene, at this time there were more than a hundred and ten bandits standing in front of us, all of them standing in the courtyard, motionless, and with their heads down, as if they were thinking about something, but they did not look like a thinking person.

I pulled Dong Xiaowan and observed for a while, and found that these people didn't move at all, and they didn't notice us, so they quietly approached the past, knowing that when we walked in front of them, they still didn't move.

As if I had fallen asleep with my eyes open, I walked over and dwelt in front of their eyes a few times, and these people did not move at all, and at this moment I became more and more bold, and even slapped them directly with my hand a few times, but they still did not move.

This confuses me, is it because I have been caught in the fixation method?

Seeing these people like dead people, Dong Xiaowan pulled my sleeves and told me to get out of here quickly, but don't wait for these people to wake up, they really can't escape when the time comes.

Seeing her say this, I was still thinking about finding out more, but thinking that this was also the truth, I didn't dare to stay longer, so I took Dong Xiaowan towards the gate of the village.

Along the way, you will see a lot of bandits, either standing or lying down, motionless, without saying a word.

All the way to the gate of the wall, the bandits guarding the gate were still like this, as if they were really asleep.

Looking at this scene, I muttered even more in my heart, I'm afraid this is not a good thing, thinking, since these bandits are not a good thing, they are all going down the mountain to kill people, then I will cut off their roots today and let them suffer a little.

Immediately, I asked Dong Xiaowan to hide outside and wait for me, and I will go back again. This time I returned to the village, I directly knocked down all the burning braziers, and then lit a fire to burn all the houses and houses here, and then quickly ran towards the door of the cottage.

But when I just ran to the gate of the village, an even more strange scene appeared, there were pieces of moths flying out of the cottage, and then moths flew out of me.

I looked at the bandits lying next to me, they were still bandits, all of them turned into skeletons.

At this moment, the minions on the gate of the village are still standing there, as if they are still guarding this cottage, and I have already muttered in my heart, so I lit a fire and threw it directly on it.

Sure enough, as I expected, at this moment, when the gate was burning, a moth suddenly flew out of the mouths of those minions, and then fell to the ground and became a skeleton.

Who was so vicious that he killed the bandits of this entire cottage? They have been poisoned!

Legend has it that this Gu poison is used from the Miao Jiang tribe in the southwest, and those who use it well can benefit the people of Li, but if this kind of magic falls into the hands of people with improper intentions, then it is bound to harm countless people, so this Gu poison technique is also called evil magic and witchcraft, and the most famous thing for witchcraft is that Emperor Wu of Han in the Western Han Dynasty was in his later years, not only killed the prince, but also killed the queen Wei Zifu, and the people involved were countless, known as the witch Gu disaster in history.

Later generations of the Tang Dynasty also explicitly forbade the use of witchcraft in the harem. You can imagine the seriousness of this thing, at this moment, the people of this cottage don't know whether it is a perennial robbery and harming people, offending others, or because of what, it has suffered such a disaster, it can be said that the whole cottage does not leave people and animals.

Looking at this scene, my heart is somewhat desolate, the bandits we saw yesterday are not people, I didn't expect that they have already been eaten away by the moth to only a pair of skins, but in the end, they have to kill people and rob people every day, and they are still doing bad things after they die, how ridiculous and funny is this.

This scene can be described as tragic, although the bandits in this cottage have harmed countless people, they really deserve to die, but this way of death is indeed too cruel, the person who fell under the Gu is really ruthless.

Fortunately, we were caught by them in the mountains, and only then did they discover this scene and destroy them all, otherwise I don't know how many passers-by they would have harmed by going down like this day after day.

When I found Dong Xiaowan, I didn't have the slightest regret and rushed down the mountain.

I hadn't gone far, and I didn't know if our horses were spiritual or what, so I followed them from behind, and at first I thought of finding the horses first, but I didn't know how to find them, so I gave up the idea, and at this time they ran over, and our luggage was still on the horse's back, and I was a little excited in my heart.

Fortunately, these bandits are controlled by Gu poison, although they are robbing money, but they don't have the mind to take money, it is indeed our luck.

But when I went to lead the horses, my heart was also tight, we went up, it was not eating, did this horse fart eat? If they eat, or if it's not our horses, we don't know.

After saying that, I quickly picked up the torch and burned it on their bodies, I couldn't bear it in my heart, but there was no way, who knows if these horses were Gu?

Sure enough, when I put the torch in front of the horse's head, I saw a moth fly out of the horse's mouth and pounce on me.

In a hurry, the torch in my hand quickly waved back, this flying fire was afraid of fire, the torch in my hand just flashed, the moth was burned without wings, fell to the ground and died without a few twists.

And our horses have also changed rapidly with the speed that can be seen by the eyes, and they have become a skeleton in an instant, where has Dong Xiaowan seen the scene in the village just now, and when he saw the horses at this moment, he was gone in an instant, and he was so frightened that he screamed again and again.

Looking at the horse, my heart ached, this horse followed me out of Rugao, saved my life several times, followed me along the way, the feelings naturally did not say, and gave me a trip like this.

I looked at Dong Xiaowan's horse, it was estimated that it was also poisoned, so I quickly gathered the torches, and sure enough, both horses were poisoned.

Seeing that his mount was gone, Dong Xiaowan couldn't accept this fact, and cried so much, I comforted him for a long time, picked up his luggage and continued to go down the mountain.

It's just that this sycophant thing is always heavy in our hearts, and along the way, the mood is very heavy, if I want to choose, I'd rather not see that scene, at least I thought the horse was still alive.

But why did they come along? And in the cottage, it was fine, and I used fire to test it out in front of us? I'm afraid this question is still related to the Gu person.

This horse has come, but I am afraid that it will also harm us.

For the rest of the journey, we had the money on us, but we didn't have to worry about food, and after all, I have to thank the two horses, if they don't follow, we will starve to death on the road.

They still saved me and Dong Xiaowan, and then it was not easy to get to a county seat, we rested late, so we went to buy two horses and continued to drive, this time, it was much safer.

But along the way, I asked Dong Xiaowan if she was taking me there, and she didn't say anything, just I knew when I arrived.

I was even more curious by him, wondering who this woman was taking me to.

I didn't even know where we were going, until I got to a place and I remembered where we we're going.

When I walked to a mass grave, I always felt very familiar, I always felt that I had been to this place, this thought, isn't it, didn't we pass through this mass grave when Grimace sent me to Rugao?
