Chapter Seventy-Four: Miao Gu Master
I walked in with He Xiaoxue in my arms, and looking at the goatee, I couldn't wait to give him a few more kicks, and couldn't help urging: "Master! What else are you looking for here? Let's go, it's almost dawn, let's hurry back to the inn to rest! ”
Old man Liu squatted next to the corpse, lowered his head and pulled his clothes, looking serious as if he was looking for something, now there were only three of us left in the forest, plus two corpses, and it was the darkest time of the day before dawn.
At this time, even the moonlight was gone, and the surrounding forest was like the open mouth of a beast, pitch black, and with the blessing of the two corpses next to me, I only felt a little chilly at the back of my neck.
"Master, what are you looking for?" I couldn't help but urge, this place is really weird, I can leave early, I really don't want to stay in this place longer.
"Do you still want to unravel the corpse poison on your body?!" Old man Liu seemed to be annoyed by me, his brows furrowed slightly, straightened up, glanced at me and asked rhetorically.
Hold the grass!
I almost forgot about it!
Could it be that this goatee has something to do with the corpse poison on my body?
Thinking of this, I carefully placed He Xiaoxue on the ground and let her rest with her back against the tree, as comfortable as possible.
Then I came to Old Man Liu's side, from the beginning I didn't understand a lot of things, but there were too many things halfway, so I never had a chance to ask, and now there is nothing to do, so I simply figured it out.
"Master, who is this person? I see what Xiangxi Gu Master you talked about before? What's going on with the twelve bronze corpses? And why did I run out uncontrollably? I said all the questions in one go, waiting for Old Man Liu to answer slowly.
"You take this, Xuanjin Red Refining Snake, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, feed it with your blood, and you will naturally understand its benefits in the future." Old man Liu did not answer my question immediately, but picked up the incense burner that I had placed next to the corpse before, stuffed it into my hand, looked at me with a serious expression, and told me again and again.
"Remember, take it with you wherever you go in the future! Do you hear that? ”
Old man Liu's expression was extremely serious, obviously this was an important matter, I stopped laughing, and repeatedly promised that no matter where I went, I would take it with me, and then Old Man Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and began to pull the relics of the goatee.
His relics were wrapped in a small bag, among which was an old book of thread bundles, on which were the four big characters of "Miao Ten Thousand Gu".
Old man Liu's purpose seemed to be this book, and after finding it, his eyes lit up, and after groping up and down, he put the book into his arms, and then silently got up and ordered: "Move the bronze corpse from the tree, put it with this person, burn it with fire, and avoid the fate of the violent corpse wilderness." ”
"What does this kind of person care about? Let him feed the beasts of the forest. "Seeing that Old Man Liu also found what he wanted, I really don't want to stay here for a long time, plus He Xiaoxue's reason, I have already done my best without whipping the corpse.
"Let you go!"
Old man Liu is indeed very persistent, I can't help it, who called him Liu Yixiao's grandfather, my master and life-saving straw!
I had no choice but to turn around and walk to the big tree with the copper corpse nailed to it, and looked, if you want to get him down from the tree, you still need to take off the copper coin sword that Old Man Liu inserted into his chest first.
I grabbed the copper coin sword with both hands that was almost completely submerged in the copper corpse, tried the strength, and found that this old man Liu looked old, but the strength was not small, I gradually increased the strength in my hand, or stepped on the trunk of the tree and kicked hard, before I pulled out the copper coin sword suddenly.
Immediately, the bronze corpse on the tree fell to the ground because of the lack of support from the big tree, stirring up dust on the ground, if it weren't for my quick eyes and hands, and hiding in time, it is estimated that I would have been crushed by the copper corpse now and could not move.
I looked at the copper coin sword in my hand, the original bright red line, the part that was once submerged in the body of the copper corpse, all turned inky black.
Look at that color, is it because of the corpse poison in the copper corpse?!
Don't bother to think about it, it's dead anyway.
I stuck the copper coin sword in my waist, bent down and dragged the bronze corpse's clothes, and dragged him to the side of the goatee, and the two lay side by side, Old Man Liu stood beside him, his hands were sealed, his eyes were closed, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was overtaking the two of them.
After a while, after Old Man Liu finished reading, he took out two yellow talismans from his arms, pasted them on the goatee and the bronze corpse respectively, and muttered to himself.
Call!
Huang Fu shook with the wind, and spontaneously combusted, and even the clothes with goatee and copper corpse also burned, the fire was fierce, if I hadn't stood far away, it was estimated that it would have burned my eyebrows.
Old man Liu stood beside him, his face flickering by the light of the fire, and the expression on his face was obscure, not knowing what he was thinking.
I didn't want to ask too much, so I turned around and walked to the side of the tree, picked He Xiaoxue up carefully, and waited for the fire to gradually weaken before Old Man Liu turned around and left, walking in the direction of the inn.
"Master, the goatee is so bad that it almost killed us, why do you do this?" I am a little puzzled, because in my cognition, there is revenge, and there is kindness must be repaid!
There is no need to sympathize with those with bad intentions.
"No matter what he did in his life, he is dead, and you said that he almost killed us, aren't we still alive now." Old man Liu looked indifferent, and he didn't seem to have any hatred for the goatee: "Moreover, didn't you notice that something was wrong with him?" ”
"There's a lot of something wrong, who the hell is he?" I hugged He Xiaoxue's hand tightly, my brows furrowed slightly, and there were too many doubts in my heart.
In particular, the fact that my body was out of control made it difficult for me to forget the feeling of unease and horror that swelled up in my heart when I walked out of the inn involuntarily.
"He is a Miao Gu Master, do the corpse chasers in Xiangxi know? The corpse chasers in Xiangxi are divided into two branches: the Maoshan Taoist faction and the Miao Gu faction. ”
"The Maoshan Dao Sect, similar to us, also uses the Dao method to exorcise corpses, and in the past, it was also specialized in sending the corpses of dead guests home from foreign lands, but the Miao Gu Sect is completely different."
"They have a gloomy personality, they specialize in raising some Gu worms, and then put Gu worms into the corpse, driving the corpse to obey their orders, but they will also drive the corpse to harm people, and even worse, they will unknowingly put the Gu worms into the human body, so that they can't survive and die."
Boom!
Hearing this, I swallowed my saliva subconsciously, and at this time I began to be a little afraid, it turned out that the goatee was still such a powerful character, no wonder, even the head was opened.
But the proprietress is really powerful, and such a person also died at her hands!
"In that case, the reason why I ran here uncontrollably is because I was poisoned." I stood beside Old Man Liu, and I was not in a hurry to go back to the inn at this time, planning to find out about this on the way.
I suddenly felt that when I used to stay in the village, I was still pretentious, and it turned out to be a frog at the bottom of the well, following Old Man Liu's side, I realized that there were many strange things in this world.
The corpse alone is divided into yin corpses, blood corpses, ghost corpses, bronze corpses, etc.
I've decided!
After solving the corpse poison on his body this time, he went home to study the "Ten Methods of Exorcising Ghosts", and if such a situation occurs again next time, he will not ask He Xiaoxue to rush forward alone.
Looking down at He Xiaoxue in her arms, the bright red in her eyes at this time had slowly receded, but her eyes were still red, and the green tendons on her face continued to last, so I subconsciously tightened my hands.
"Twelve bronze corpses, that is, the Gu corpses of the Gu Master?" I turned my head to look at Old Man Liu, who was standing next to me, and asked.
"Well, these twelve bronze corpses are just a name, in fact, the number of bronze corpses is not necessarily twelve, if the Gu Master's ability is strong enough, he can even control hundreds of copper corpses to obey his orders, but this is not the reason why they make copper corpses."
Old man Liu paused when he said this, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was a little solemn, obviously this bronze corpse was not simple, he continued.
"As soon as the goatee died, you also saw the scene where the copper corpses killed each other, this is the purpose of the Gu Master, ordering the twelve bronze corpses to kill each other, and finally leaving the most powerful bronze corpse king, when the time comes, his body will condense the resentment of the twelve copper corpses, which is simply a killing weapon."
"But fortunately, it seems that that Gu Master is not proficient in the ability to control the copper corpse, and he needs to use blood to stimulate the killing nature of the copper corpse." Old man Liu said with a little rejoicing.
I nodded as if I didn't understand, it seems that the Gu master is not good at learning, we can escape today, it's really a blessing!
"Gu masters are in contact with Gu worms all year round, and it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with some Gu poison on their bodies, if we don't use fire just now, the Gu poison will invade the underground, and there will be no grass in the vicinity of ten miles, and in a few years, not a single inch of grass will grow." Old man Liu let out a long sigh, put his hands behind his back, and didn't look at me, and explained softly.
"Jiuliu, you have to remember, how great the ability is, how much responsibility there is, you can't do things by your own preferences alone, just like the two sentences just now, if you let them be violent corpse wilderness, if they are really eaten by wild beasts, the corpse poison will cause the violent nature of the beasts, in case of hurting people, we will damage yin virtue for no reason, not to mention, but also harm others and ourselves."
Only then did I understand why Old Man Liu burned those two corpses, it turned out that there was such a reason.
The reason why he said these things to me was obviously to make me pay attention in the future, and to think more about others no matter what.
"Well, master, I see." I solemnly agreed.
Today's old man Liu seems to be completely different from before.
After walking some distance, I could vaguely see the two lanterns at the entrance of the inn, and after our delay, the sky not far away was already slightly bright, and the sun began to rise slowly.
It's finally dawn!
"What?!"
