Chapter 168: Elder Yin
The old man who suddenly came out claimed to be Leizi's master, I didn't believe it at first, but I calmed down after he took out the phone and turned out the call record with Leizi, it seems that this old man is trustworthy.
"I don't know what the seniors call it?" I asked, the old man looked at me twice and smiled, and said a strange pronunciation in his mouth, which sounded a bit like the English 'lord', and I asked a little strangely: "Do my predecessors still have English names?" ”
The old man laughed, "This is the pronunciation of our Miao dialect, the homonym is the same as the Han brand, Yin Qiao brand is my name, you can call me brand old." ”
How do you hear how do you feel weird, isn't calling grandma taking advantage of me? I thought about it for a while and said, "That's not very accustomed, I'll call you Yin Lao." ”
"Whatever you want." After Yin Lao finished speaking, he pointed to the puddle of evil water on the ground, "Those ghost hand Gu were removed by me, there are still many such things in this Liujia Village, but you don't have to worry, if you encounter ghost hand Gu in the future, you only need to sprinkle these powders over, and those ghost hand Gu will immediately dissolve into stinky water after they are stained." ”
Yin Lao handed me a few bottles, I took it and uncorked it, and immediately a stench wafted out, I quickly plugged the cork and asked, "What is in this?" It stinks! You said that the hands that chased me before were called ghost hand Gu, but Lei Zi said that he had never heard this term in the classification of Gu. ”
"Hey, Gu art also has to keep pace with the times and seek innovation, this kind of Gu has only been around for a hundred years, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to encounter it, you are lucky." I frowned when I heard it, how did I feel that what he said felt like a salesman selling health supplements?
Ghost Hand Gu is a new type of Gu technique, this kind of Gu technique is based on the arm of a living person and then refined with some evil insects and ghosts, the time for the human hand to leave the body for three to seven days is the best time to refine, once the Gu is formed, then these ghost hand Gu will become a bloodthirsty and flesh-eating monster.
"But it doesn't have a long mouth, how does it drink blood and eat meat?" I muttered a question in my heart, and the old man smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "Live to learn all the time, not bad, I can show you the structure of this ghost hand Gu now." ”
"Do you have it on you?" I hurriedly circled around him, he didn't have a backpack and no cloth bag in his waist, it didn't look like he was hiding something, Yin Lao smiled, "It's not on me, I'll take you to find it now." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately shook my head, "No, no, no, that thing has already made me feel a shadow in my heart." ”
"You're not going to save your friend?" After Yin Lao finished speaking, I was stunned, "He's still alive?" ”
"I'm still alive now, and I'm definitely gone when I'm done." Yin Lao said and pointed in the direction of the crooked neck tree, "That tree is hollow, you can reach the nest of the ghost hand Gu from the inside, this winter, those ghost hand Gu also have to store food for the winter." ”
I heard a shudder all over my body urging Old Yin to hurry up and rescue Zhang Qian, and the old man looked at me with a slight smile, "I want to ask you something before I go in." ”
"It's all this time, let's save people first, what do you want to know, I'll tell you when we come out." I was a little anxious, but Old Yin grabbed me and shook my head, "This question is very important, what if I go down to save people with you and don't come out?" You can't let me die without a blind eye, can you? ”
Seeing that he insisted so much, I had to sigh, Yin Lao looked at me with a smile and said, "Did your ancestor have the surname Zhang?" I was stunned, "How do I know about this ancestral matter?" I only know that my surname is Bai, and my father and grandfather are all surnamed Bai in this lineage. ”
Yin Lao looked at me for a while and then smiled, "You just remember my question anyway, if you still remember it after you go back, go through the family tree and see if there are any direct blood relatives surnamed Zhang in the previous three generations, okay, let's go and save people." ”
His words made me very confused, did my ancestor have a person surnamed Zhang How important could it be to him? I don't understand this, but no matter how much I ask along the way, the old man always keeps silent, only saying that when I go back and ask clearly, I will naturally have the answer.
Soon we arrived at the foot of the crooked neck tree, the blood corpse standing under the tree had turned into white bones, and the flesh attached to it made me stomach juice surge, and I couldn't help but vomit wildly, and I felt that the bile was about to vomit out, and then Yin Lao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Follow me for a while, I didn't let you stop, you must not stop." ”
I nodded, and the two of them climbed up along the trunk of the tree, and after about seven or eight minutes we reached the top of the tree, and as we passed through the canopy, I looked at the situation on the tree, there was not even a single bird on it, it must have been eaten by the ghost hand Gu.
However, the old man said that the tree was hollow, and I still didn't believe it, because I didn't see a hole that I could get into after coming up, and just when I was about to ask a question, Yin Lao took out a bottle and poured the potion inside on the trunk, and what was amazing was that the top of the trunk slowly cracked a hole just enough for a person to get into.
"How do you know how to open this?" I was a little alert in my heart, and Old Yin turned his head and said, "Of course I know that this tree is called a hundred feet, and it is also a kind of Gu. ”
"This, this tree is also Gu?"
I felt incredible, Elder Yin nodded, "Everything you can see can be refined into Gu, even if it's a stone, so you have to pay more attention in the future, fortunately this tree doesn't eat today, otherwise you won't be able to wait for the Ghost Hand Gu at all." ”
"I don't understand, and the name of this Gu is still called Centipede, what does this have to do with centipedes?" I asked, Yin Lao smiled, he cut his hand with a knife and dripped a drop of blood on the tree, and the sound of 'rustling' immediately sounded around me! After looking around, I realized that the branches around me had moved!
Seeing this, Yin Lao took out a long nail and pierced it into the drop of blood that had just dripped down, and the tree immediately fell silent, and I was amazed to see it, so this hundred feet is every branch of the tree.
"Don't bother, go down quickly, if you delay any longer, you won't even have a chance to collect your friend's body." After Yin Lao finished speaking, he jumped into the crack at the top of the tree, and I crawled over and looked inside with my mobile phone, and almost threw up again.
The trunk was indeed hollow, and there was a lot of slippery mucus on the cylindrical inner wall that looked very disgusting, and I could smell a fishy smell, and I swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva to suppress the gastric juice that was rushing to my throat, and after taking a deep breath, I gritted my teeth and jumped down.
The space in the middle of the trunk is just enough for me to get stuck on both sides and slide down, there is that slime I didn't wear out my clothes, after landing on the ground, Yin Lao immediately helped me up, he took out a pill and stuffed it into my mouth, "Those mucus are corpse fluid, they are all made of the residue left over from devouring living creatures, poisonous, so you eat this... ”
"I'm going to throw up if I keep talking." I waved my hand to cover my mouth to keep myself from throwing up.
