Chapter 46: The Successive Bridegrooms

I quickly untied my satchel and took out the dust whisk and mahogany sword from it, and at the same time, several tricks quickly flashed through my mind, but I didn't think it was appropriate.

Suddenly, I remembered that when I was at my brother's house, he told me something about my youth.

That year, he was invited to help a wealthy family do things, and he didn't know what the family had done.

The senior brother carefully looked at the face of the living corpse, and faintly saw a black gas lingering in the center of his eyebrows.

At that time, the senior brother was only fifty years old, and he was still shallow, and he didn't know how to get it! As he understood, he recited the "Returning Mantra" while sweeping his eyebrows with a whisk.

After three minutes, the living corpse slowly lay down......

In fact, I've done this kind of thing once! That time, after Xue Chunshan's daughter-in-law deceived the corpse, she was subdued with this mahogany sword.

Thinking of this, I took out the mahogany sword, secretly transported the heat flow, to the sword, and then silently recited the "Returning to the Tibetan Sutra".

With a "stab", the sword stabbed into the center of the monster's eyebrows.

Everyone, including myself, stared at him with a sense of puff.

Just a few seconds after I stabbed him, I saw that his whole body began to shake, and the flesh on his face began to twitch......

"Xiao Zhen, hurry up and ...... back"

Grandma shouted as if she had exhausted her last bit of strength.

Seeing this, everyone retreated to the edge of the rock wall.

The monster twitched all over, and then black water began to flow out of his eyes and mouth, more and more, while his entire body slowly shrunk.

In less than a few minutes, a two-meter-tall body had shrunk to about my height.

Within a minute, the cave was filled with a suffocating stench, and Chen Laosan whispered, "This is the smell of rotting corpses."

Seeing this monster slowly turn into a puddle of black water, we really didn't want to endure the stench, so we drilled out of the cave one after another.

After that toss just now, I felt that I was very good, so I took the initiative to do the "aftermath" work, Xiaoqing Xiaobi first helped her grandmother to get out first, and finally other girls.

In the end, only me and Antique Li were left in the cave.

"Lao Li, hurry up and get out! It's going to smoke to death......"

I urged.

But Antique Li kept staring at the rock wall on one side, ignoring me.

"Lao Li ......"

I shouted again, but he ignored me.

What is this old man looking at? It can't be an occupational disease again! With that in mind, I walked over.

On the rock wall that Antique Lee stared at were pictures, like the kind of comic books that children like to read.

"Look at what!"

I asked softly.

"This ...... This seems to be an ancient temple on the west side of your village! ”

Antique Li replied in a trembling voice.

"Ahh Do you know this ancient temple too? ”

I also looked closely at the dense frescoes.

Sure enough, I also saw a building in the shape of an ancient temple, not to mention, if you look closely, it is really a broken temple in our village.

"Why is the ancient temple in our village on the rock wall here?"

My curiosity sparked instantly.

"Look at these two, it looks like someone is carrying two pear-shaped things in a boat down the river - no!"

Antique Li didn't finish speaking, and he denied it again.

"It's ...... These are those two ancient bells! ”

I saw that the painting was vividly depicted, and there were two duck egg-shaped things on a boat, just like the one on the previous ancient picture, and it was indeed an ancient clock!

"Holy! Lao Li, why is the ancient clock painted here? ”

I subconsciously asked, although I knew that asking about antique Li was also asking in vain.

"I ...... I guessed what the river god was looking for in this area!"

Antique Li muttered.

"Oh?" This was quite unexpected, I asked. "What are they looking for here?"

"It's an ancient bell, no! To be precise, it should be meteoric iron! ”

According to the antique Li's guess, the river god went upstream, and has always found this isolated valley, it is likely that there were several vicious battles with the ancestors of the Jade Maiden Village, and finally snatched the two ancient bells, but he was also greatly injured, and finally failed to complete the last wish.

Antique Lee was still reluctant to leave the cave, which in the eyes of an antique aficionado was tantamount to a treasure location.

I promised him that I would accompany him to do archaeological research when he finished dealing with the matter in front of him, and he left the ancient tomb in three steps.

On the way back, I asked my grandmother about the two missing ancient clocks, and she just sighed, as if she was very reluctant to mention the incident back then.

I couldn't resist my pleading, but finally I said it one by one.

Speaking of which, it was hundreds of years ago.

It is said that dozens of water ghosts suddenly appeared from the Yellow River that year, and these water ghosts seemed to know the existence of such a village, and knew that there was a magical meteorite in the village.

They rushed into the stockade like hungry wolves and killed many people.

At that time, the village also had such a rule, that is, it was forbidden to hurt people with Gu, so many people died tragically under the sword of the water ghost.

At that time, my mother angrily ordered: Use Gu magic to drive away and eliminate this group of water ghosts.

In the end, this group of people took away two Gu Zhong, but more than half of them were killed and injured, and the people who left alive were also poisoned by the deadly Gu poison, and they should not live long.

At that time, it was very confusing that this group of people seemed to be very familiar with the route of the village, as if they had been here before, and they all knew a kind of witchcraft similar to Gu art, which was also quite powerful!

This incident can be regarded as a painful lesson for the Jade Girl Village, and since then, the ban on "not hurting people with Gu" has been lifted, and instead it has begun to vigorously cultivate powerful Gu worms.

Because of the tragic lesson, everyone was reluctant to mention it, so this history was also consciously erased, and when the people who experienced these things at that time died, only the successive generations of mothers passed it on orally, in order not to forget this lesson.

……

After listening, I asked my grandmother: "Do you think the dried corpses in this cave are the water ghosts who came to the village to rob the ancient bell back then?" ”

Grandma thought for a while and replied, "Probably not!" Although it is called a 'water ghost', it should be dozens of very murderous people, and this guy is two meters tall and obviously ......"

Before Grandma finished speaking, she stopped, as if she had thought of something.

"I remember, my mother of the previous generation told me that we had lost a lot of Gu techniques in our village, and they were snatched by this group of people, and I think about it now, this guy is very much like a Gu after his body has mutated!"

After hearing this, I was also excited, and hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that he was originally a person like us, and he only became like this after being hit by Gu?" ”

Grandma nodded slowly and continued, "Think about it! He didn't seem to be able to leave the cave, it should be that there was some formation in the cave, but he tricked the monkeys into repeatedly invading our village, which at least showed that there was something he wanted in the village, and it also showed that he knew the village very well. ”

The more you talk, the more you have a door! It seems that this person is one of the water ghosts who was injured and left that year, that is, the river god who disappeared.

I asked again about the evil cult of the Yellow River.

Grandma once said that it was the child she sent out, but after a few days of understanding, I found that although the Jade Girl Village is all Miao people and is very good at using Gu, in essence, they are just using these Gu worms to defend, and they don't really want to harm anyone.

At that time, grandma only mentioned it casually and did not elaborate.

"Grandma, what are those evil spirits in the lower reaches of the Yellow River...... It's you...... Is it caused by our stockade? ”

Grandma: "Huh? "With a sigh, he asked me what kind of evil spirit?

After I said something briefly, my grandmother shook her head.

"Every year, I send children to the Yellow River to absorb the essence, but they never hurt people, and they ...... And apart from me, there is no evil energy controlling them! ”

When I heard my grandmother say this, I knew that something was wrong, so who could be behind all this?

The Monkey King led us to the woods, then turned back, and howled at me a few times as he left, which my grandmother explained meant "take care, brother."

Now the second major problem that plagued the village has been completely solved, the calculation date is the thirteenth, and tonight is the night of the full moon, according to the previous plan, my task should begin.

At noon that day, we gathered in the hall for lunch, and my grandmother was obviously very happy, and asked the middle-aged woman behind her to bring a few large bottles.

"Xiao Zhen! This is a special Gu wine made by our village, although it can't prolong life, it can definitely strengthen the body, today I will make an exception for you...... You and your friends have a taste. ”

As soon as I heard that it was Gu wine, the first thing I thought of was those wriggling little insects, and I said in my heart: This can't be a bar made of small insects! The first reaction was to refuse.

"Grandma, your nephew is a good young man, and I usually don't drink a drop of alcohol, so let them drink a few of them!"

As I spoke, I pointed at Chen Laosan and them.

Chen Laosan's face turned white, and he stammered back, "I'...... I'm also a good young man, and I don't usually drink......"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Grandma turned her head to look at Chen Laosan, and said slowly: "Chen Laosan! Your father and grandfather's deaths are to blame! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and this can't blame others, as for you! ”

Grandma paused suddenly and continued.

"As for you, I know that I haven't done anything other than to hurt the heavens and reason, and besides, you are also a friend of my grandson, that is the guest of honor of our village, I naturally won't hurt you in the slightest, and ...... And when you leave, they will give you a pearl as a gift. ”

As soon as he talked about pearls, Chen Laosan's face instantly turned red again, he had been looking for this ancient village all these years, didn't he just look at the record on the sheepskin found in the red coffin! A pearl, if it is genuine, is worth hundreds of thousands, to say the least.

Chen Laosan kowtowed to his grandmother three times with great interest.

Grandma turned to me again, "I know you're afraid of this wine, just don't worry!" Grandma will still lie to her grandson? ”

After thinking about it, how could the insects make wine, maybe it was made from the pollen of rare plants collected by Gu worms in the mountain depressions.

Thinking so, I drank the small bowl of green wine that Xiaobi had poured on me.

Sure enough, it's good wine! Fresh in the mouth, refreshing in the stomach.

The three of them just looked at me in a daze, and didn't dare to drink it, I think they were probably worried about being hit by Gu again!

Grandma laughed a few times dryly, and said to them, "My mother wants to let anyone fall into the Gu, no one can escape, and if she doesn't want anyone to fall into the Gu, he doesn't have to worry." ”

The meaning is obvious, that is, there is no Gu in this wine.

Everyone drank wildly, only to get drunk.

Grandma really didn't give them a trick, but I was tricked.

When I woke up in a daze, I saw that it was pitch black all around, and after scanning for a week, I found myself lying on the big bed in Lang's room, and then looked at my sides! Oh, my God! Xiaoqing Xiaobi lay on her side next to me, and she was naked.
