Chapter 8: A Vicious Fight
"Corpse poison? Who? You? The first time Lao Meng heard this word, he was a little confused.
I showed the wound on my hand, and Lao Meng looked at me with round eyes after looking at it.
"This? What's going on? Isn't it just a bite, how did it come to this? ”
I still don't understand what the corpse poison is, and Yu Nian has always said half and half left.
Yu Nian raised his head and said, "This tree is called the Hundred Eyes Lingbai, and there are a hundred human heads tied to it, a total of two hundred eyes. Look at the road of life and the road of death, and can penetrate yin and yang. The method is to cut off the head of the person who died with a knife, stuff poisonous insects into the skull, and seal the wound with mercury. Hanging on the Lingbai, it can be cultivated after 7749 days. Some people use it to gather unjust spirits, and some use it as a weapon. As long as you are bitten by the head of this spirit cypress, you will end up with the little monk in the basement ......"
Yu Nian said, suddenly turning his head to look at my hand, "And you, the same." ”
The numb nerves in my hands twitched, mostly out of fear.
Yu Nian continued, "If you want to detoxify, the only way is to find the head of the person who bit you, take out the poisonous insect inside, burn it to ashes, and then flush it and apply it to the wound. ”
"But when I was bitten, the old lady's head was still growing on her body."
"A severed head can be attached to a stump and turned into a living corpse controlled by poisonous insects. But have you ever thought about it, why are the heads of the whole village missing, and only the one you dug up is a living corpse? ”
Lao Meng understood, pointed at me and said, "Someone wants to harm you!" ”
From Du Chunmei's accident to the present, it is true that all of these cases are coming for me. The goal is clear, but it is not clear what the purpose is.
It's impossible for me to offend anyone when I first arrived here, and it doesn't look like Du Chunmei's grandmother is taking revenge, so what kind of person is it, so deliberately asking for my life......
However, Du Chunmei's grandmother's head disappeared after being sent to the hospital, and looking at the underground situation, it seems very likely that it is here.
In order not to waste time, we split up to find it.
I looked around the bottom of the tree, but I couldn't find a single one.
Suddenly, Lao Meng sat down on the ground and pointed to a certain place in the tree and asked the two of us to come over and look.
I ran over to take a look and found that it was Du Chunmei's head in the cage.
The left side of the skull had collapsed, but it seemed to have been repaired a lot better than the day we both found it. Most importantly, Lao Meng and I both remember the pink headband with rabbit ears.
"Didn't you say you're already buried in the ground? How is it here? ”
Lao Meng hurriedly said, "I don't know what's going on, I saw him buried in it with my own eyes." ”
When I looked up, could it be that the trunk of the tree was connected to the ground? What is thrown from the ground and will slide down with the trunk of the tree and fall all the way into the cage?
I was thinking about it, and Yu Nian called us over, as if he had found the head of Grandma Du Chunmei.
I looked over and saw that it was really her.
Yu Nian glanced at the cage, reached out and bent the golden wire on the cage, and pulled the human head out.
Lao Meng was dumbfounded, and pulled my sleeve, "Do you have such a heavy taste now?" This girl is so wild, are you sure you can stop it? ”
"The big bad werewolf in front of people and the little white sheep in front of people are actually gentle."
After a while, Yu Nian slapped me on the back of the head.
I looked back and saw that she had taken the worm out, wrapped it in a cloth and put it away.
Suddenly, the heads of the trees began to writhe uneasily, some with their eyes open, and some with the slightest sound coming from their throats.
Yu Nian's eyes sank for a moment, and at this time, two people broke in from outside the door and shouted, "What person! ”
My first reaction was to block in front of Yu Nian and Lao Meng, and Lao Meng protected Yu Nian again.
Only when he looked at it did he recognize that these two people were the abbot and the monk beside him.
When the abbot saw me, his eyes were quite playful, and he said to me with a smile: "I searched the temple but didn't find you, but I didn't expect you kid to fall into the net." ”
I don't know exactly who this abbot is or what his purpose is, but I do know that he is by no means a good man.
Seeing his attitude, I pointed to these heads on the top of the tree and said, "The common people believe in you, and after so many years of burning incense and worshiping Buddha for you bald donkeys to eat and drink, in the end you do this kind of thing?" ”
The abbot was poked by me, but he spread his hands, "Their death is a natural disaster, I just borrowed everyone's head for a use, it's not too much." ”
He turned his head to look at the cage hanging from the tree, as if admiring a work of art.
"I helped them play their last role, and they should be grateful to me." After he finished speaking, he looked at me viciously, "If it weren't for you finding Du Chunmei one step ahead of us, if you hadn't crushed his head, this spirit cypress would have been cultivated a long time ago." ”
Lao Meng couldn't suppress his anger, and said loudly, "You don't compare your fangs here, can't you see the height of your eyebrows?" We now have the upper hand in numbers. I'll tell you to tell grandpa that I'm in a hurry, and I'll wax your bald scoop and kick it as a ball. ”
The abbot smiled contemptuously, and six or seven warrior monks with iron rods suddenly rushed in at the door, looking more like a group of thugs raised by the abbot.
Lao Meng swallowed his saliva and leaned behind me for a moment.
When I saw this posture, my heart was a little empty, and I whispered to Yu Nian, "Yu Nian, you have to take care of this matter." ”
Yu Nian glanced at me, stood up and said to the abbot in a loud voice, "Do you know me? ”
The abbot glanced at Yu Nian contemptuously, and didn't pay attention to this little girl at all.
Yu Nian flipped his palm upward, and before long a puff of white smoke rose, and the image of a woman appeared in the mist.
"Do you know her, then?"
The abbot's expression suddenly became very eager, and Yu Nian seemed to have succeeded in his prank, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he withdrew his hand.
The smoke dissipated with the woman's movements.
The abbot glared angrily, "What did you do to her?" ”
Yu Nian suddenly burst out laughing as if he was laughing, catching us all off guard.
The abbot felt that he was being teased by a little girl, and he was very faceless, "What are you laughing at!" Believe it or not, I can't get any of you out today? ”
Yu Nian stood up straight, suddenly suppressed his smile, looked at the abbot coldly, and said word by word, "I laugh at you for being stupid." ”
She walked sideways in front of me, stood among the crowds, and said in a unique cold tone, "I think you all know the story of your grandfather. You should know what the plague was because of that year. The old queen died in a dry well, and you were afraid that her soul would come back to take revenge, so you instigated the villagers to build a temple on it to suppress it. Think you'll be able to get along in peace? Let me tell you, it is no one else who shares the joy of fish and water with you every day, it is the ghost that the old queen has turned into to ask for your yang energy. The bedside is not an aphrodisiac incense candle, but a goosebump lantern that she draws your soul. ”
The abbot's face turned pale for a moment, and Yu Nian continued, "This natural disaster is her revenge, but this human head full of trees, the human disaster that prevents these people from being reincarnated, is caused by you. People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and you haven't learned to abandon evil and follow good over the years, so I'll teach you how to recognize Huangquan Road. ”
After Yu Nian finished speaking, he took out the cinnabar knife stuck in the back of his waist and handed it to me, turned his head to look at the people opposite, and everyone on the other side was shocked by her words.
But I lost my mind slightly when I took the knife, and my heartbeat suddenly stopped.
The abbot's scandal was punctured by Yu Nian, and he became angry and called for the warrior monk behind him to catch us.
For a while, several people rushed up with iron rods, and I only felt that Yu Nian's back was angry, and the bone umbrella was revealed in his sleeve again.
"Old Meng, you hide first."
Lao Meng didn't listen to me, and snatched the knife in my hand, "You better take care of your hands first, the knife can't be held steadily, and if it rots, it will become a cripple!" ”
After saying that, Lao Meng rushed up and helped me block the oncoming stick.
Yu Nian threw the umbrella into the air, the bone umbrella was quickly propped up, and she turned over and held it in her hand again.
Looking at the weak umbrella surface, it became as hard as steel when the iron rod hit it head-on.
Within a few minutes, Yu Nian had the obvious upper hand.
At this time, the abbot may have also seen the fire, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to slip away, but I found it in time. Lao Meng and Yu Nian were trapped, and I chased after the abbot without thinking about it.
