Chapter Fifty-Nine: Old Stories of the Past{1}
I only heard the old Taoist priest say in a slightly hoarse voice: "When I was traveling around a few years ago, I happened to hear that there was a town where people often died inexplicably, and those dead died in a very strange way, I heard that the dead were all staring at each other, with their mouths wide open, and there was not a single wound on their bodies.
But the corpses turned shriveled and blackened overnight, as if all the flesh in their bodies had evaporated on their own, leaving only a thin skin tightly wrapped around the bones, which made people feel creepy to look at. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Bao suddenly remembered the tragic situation of the dead villagers in Xini Village, which coincided with what the old Taoist priest said.
In fact, Xiaobao has always been haunted by the reason for the death of the villagers of Xini Village, in his memory, only the old woman who looks exactly like Grandma Sun is the most suspicious, and remembers that the old woman once threatened him viciously: "You know the fate of all the villagers in Xini Village, do you want to die like that?" ”
As soon as he thought of this, Xiaobao suddenly interjected: "I know! It must have been the old woman's bad deeds! ”
"Huh?"
The old Taoist priest blinked, and his old face was full of dazedness, looking a little puzzled: "Old woman? What old woman? ”
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Xiaobao was so grief-stricken that he couldn't help but spit out the bitterness in his heart to the old Taoist, and finally didn't forget to hand him the wrist of his left hand that had been pierced by the old woman with a silver needle, "Master, you see, this wrist was stabbed by the old woman, and when it rained on a cloudy day, my wrist was still faintly tingling." ”
However, the old Taoist priest's focus was not on the old woman Xiao Bao was talking about, he stared at Xiao Bao's left wrist with burning eyes, and couldn't help muttering: "It's not good! Oh no! ”
Seeing that his face suddenly became solemn, Xiaobao couldn't help but be a little flustered, and hurriedly asked him why he said this.
The old Taoist priest frowned and stroked his beard, took Xiaobao's wrist and checked it seriously: "This needle is not trivial, it is obvious that someone has given you a trick." ”
Xiaobao didn't understand the subtlety, and asked what Gu meant.
The old Taoist priest told him that this Gu was an extremely vicious evil art that could make people die inexplicably without knowing it.
And most of the deceased's deaths are very ugly, some have their intestines pierced through their stomachs, and some of them bleed to death through seven holes, and even those who are suffocated to death in their sleep.
As for the method of solving the Gu, it is also one of the secret techniques that are not passed on, if you want to break the Gu on Xiaobao's body, I am afraid that only the person who has the Gu can do it.
Xiaobao was obviously frightened by the old Taoist's statement, but he didn't expect that he thought that a simple needle would have such terrifying sequelae, would he really die like the old Taoist just said in the future?
Call!
Exhaled heavily, as long as he thought of his intestines being rotten, bleeding from seven holes, or suffocating to death in his sleep, Xiaobao felt chills all over his body, and he panicked for no reason, these bizarre and strange ways of dying were too embarrassing.
If you say that you are stabbed to death, you still have a psychological preparation, so that you will die inexplicably at any time, which really makes people psychologically collapse and collapse.
Thinking that his revenge had not yet been avenged, he might die in a daze, and an inexplicable sadness came to his heart, causing Xiaobao's eyes to turn red, and tears fell down his cheeks without fighting.
The old Taoist priest saw Xiaobao crying in front of his eyes, and stroked his head with a lot of amusement: "Silly boy, why are you crying?" ”
Xiaobao shrugged his nose and told him the truth about the grievances in his heart.
The old Taoist priest couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "It turns out that you are afraid that you will not be able to avenge your parents, so you are crying?" Let me tell you the truth, this Gu in you can't kill you at all, because the person who underwent the Gu doesn't want to kill you, otherwise you wouldn't have lived until now. ”
Well?
Xiaobao was completely confused by the old Taoist, wasn't it that most of the Gu people you just said were ugly? How can I say that I can't die in the blink of an eye?
As if he had seen through Xiaobao's careful thoughts, the old Taoist priest restrained his smile and said with a serious face: "I did just say that people who are in the Gu will die inexplicably without knowing it, but your situation is a little special. ”
He took Xiao Bao's left wrist and looked at it again, before he raised his head and continued: "The reason why I said that the Gu in you is special is because there is nothing highly poisonous in this Gu. ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Bao was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and then asked: "Since the person who played Gu didn't want me to die, why did he still give me Gu?" Is it just to make fun of me? ”
"No, no such boring people."
The old Taoist priest habitually stroked the long hair under his chin: "This Gu on your wrist is like a mark, no matter where you go, the person under the Gu can find your hiding place through this mark, to put it bluntly, this thing is like a person who is watching you all the time, but whether you want to or not, you can't get rid of his surveillance." ”
Xiaobao was stunned and a little dazed: What does the old woman who looks exactly like Grandma Sun want to do? She didn't kill me when she was able to kill me, but instead placed a tracking Gu on me, the obvious purpose of which was to monitor my every move.
Spy on my every move?
Xiaobao subconsciously looked around, and was very worried, I guess the old woman must be watching me in a dark corner somewhere, no wonder in the dead of night, occasionally I feel a pair of invisible eyes around me staring at me.
At first, I just thought that I was too careful, and I didn't care too much, who would have thought that what I thought was an illusion before, but now it has turned into reality.
Xiaobao is not a fool, he knows that the old lady must still be thinking about the iron box.
Thinking of this, Xiaobao secretly felt lucky, fortunately, whenever he had the feeling of being watched, he didn't take out the iron box to look at it, otherwise it was estimated that the iron box would have been snatched away by the old lady.
was thinking about the iron box with all his attention, when he suddenly heard the old Taoist priest snort from his nostrils: "Being interrupted by your stinky boy has confused me." ”
Xiaobao raised his head and scratched the back of his head slightly embarrassedly, and quickly accompanied a smiling face, not knowing what he meant, so he had to listen to him quietly.
I only heard the old Taoist priest continue: "What I want to say is that that the town is always bizarre and dead, and finally alarmed the patrol room, and many commissioners went out to find nothing in the end.
I vaguely felt that this matter was not very simple, so I volunteered to help them find out the outcome of the matter.
That night, a case specialist used as bait to roam the dimly lit alleys disguised as a townsman, hoping to lure out the culprit. ”
"And what about later? Did you lead to the murderer? ”
"Oh, this thing is really strange, I don't know how to do it, there has been no progress in this matter for seven days, which made everyone depressed, and then the patrol room wanted to give up this case hastily."
When he said this, the old Taoist priest seemed to be still immersed in that incident and couldn't extricate himself, and sighed several times before he continued: "On the eighth night, when everyone agreed that it would be another peaceful night, something big happened. ”
Xiaobao knew that the next thing was probably the most exciting part of the whole thing, so he hurriedly pricked up his ears and leaned in front of the old Taoist priest, in order to hear more clearly.
I don't know why, when the old Taoist priest spoke again, there was obviously an unspeakable bitterness on his face, and he only heard him speak slowly: "The patrol officer who was in charge of disguised as a townsman was finally killed by an extremely powerful monster.
At that critical moment, Lao Dao I, as a cultivator, had no reason to retreat, so I used my secret technique to rush forward and fight with the monster for a long time before I could barely injure it.
Seeing that the monster fell to the ground and was seriously injured, I went over with a whisk in hand to find out.
When I got closer, I found that the monster's whole body was a strange blue shape, and her body was no different from ordinary people, but half of the human face had already rotted, and the white bones were exposed, and I was really surprised to see its appearance. ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao exclaimed again, and his whole body trembled, why did the old Taoist priest talk about this powerful monster look like the blue-clothed female ghost he had met before? Is it just a coincidence?
The old Taoist priest was interrupted by Xiaobao again, and he was really a little unhappy, so he gave him a roll of the eyes, and then he continued to narrate the incident angrily.
"Who knows, just as I was secretly amazed, a thick red smoke suddenly rolled up from my side.
I took a whisk in my hand to disperse all the red smoke, and when I looked in front of me, I was startled by the scene in front of me.
Because the blue monster that was dying just now, since the red smoke entered the body, its strength suddenly skyrocketed, and even the breath changed a little from Fang Cai, as long as she blew casually in front of me, I felt the sky was frozen, as if my whole body was frozen in an instant.
To tell the truth, the old Taoist priest has lived to this age, and I can be regarded as well-informed, but even so, I have never encountered such a strange thing, and I also know that I encountered a difficult stubble that day, and if I don't do my best, I am afraid that I will die on the spot. ”
"Oh, that's right." Xiaobao nodded as if he didn't understand, and then suddenly said with confidence: "No need to ask, I also know the final result, you must have beaten that monster to the ground, right?" ”
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Xiao Bao smiled shyly, and stretched out his hand to point at the old Taoist: "Oh, aren't you standing in front of me now?" So I'm sure that the monster must have been subdued by you, and no matter how bad it is... Just let him run away. ”
