His consciousness gradually returned, and his heart fluctuated, and he finally understood what the first painting of flashing light points displayed on the light wall in the cave was, which was this cliff full of hanging coffins! It was a larger painting than the black dot painting on white paper that Gemu showed me, and it used the method of changing the dots, and the difficulty was that the dots appeared and then disappeared, making it impossible to form a coherent painting. But even if I could remember all the points of light in my mind as I did, I would never guess what it meant until I saw the cliff.

At this moment, the position I pointed to by my finger is an inconspicuous one of the thousands of coffins from my point of view, if the cave owner has the intention to lead the "destined person", then this point is the key point, and it may also be the only door.

"Wish, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Ke's suspicious voice came into my ears, I stared back and turned my head, and saw that everyone was looking at me with the same astonishment as her, it must have been like a convulsion in my behavior just now, but only Gu Xi's sight was lurking, because he had seen me like this.

I replied with a faint expression: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something just now, you go on." ”

Zhu Ke was still suspicious, and wanted to ask again but was diverted from the topic by Qin Zhou's dry cough: "Axi, where did you just go?" Oh, Qing Yan, don't sell it, since Qing Yan's poison has not been diluted, why have those people's deaths changed? ”

Gu Xi's eyes flashed, and he responded: "Naturally, it's because they have a slight antitoxin in their bodies." ”

"Huh? Antitoxin? Qin Zhou was stunned, "Do you mean their Gu poison?" ”

Zhu Ke immediately vetoed: "Impossible, although there was a witch Gu technique among our clan at that time, it was only limited to witch development, and the rest of the people had never touched Gu." It was only in the later stage that in order to curb the toxicity, he began to borrow Gu poison into the body. ”

In this way, there is no direct relationship with Gu Sure, so where does the antitoxin in Gu Xi's mouth come from?

I saw that his gaze seemed to be hanging down somewhere, and when I followed that line of sight, I saw that it was on the river in front of the cliff. Something flashed in my mind, as if I had caught a trace, but it was not very clear.

But there is no need for me to think deeply, he has already said: "There must be water in front of the mountain, this is the way of feng shui." This realm hides the wind and water, and it is the place of the spiritual cave, since the mountain has the art of the mystery, the water will be supplemented. Whoever has been here must have drunk the water of that river. ”

It's water!

Even if Gu Xi said it mysteriously, the people present all understood it, and Zhu Ke took two steps towards him and asked urgently: "You mean that this water is an antitoxin against the green poison?" ”

Gu Xi said: "You just have to ask the rest of the people if they have often drunk the water in this river." ”

Zhu Ke was shocked, and slowly turned his head sideways to look at the only middle-aged man in the crowd, "Uncle He, is that so?" The middle-aged man was already stunned, his mouth was slightly open, his lips trembled, or a woman beside him said excitedly: "Yes, Ah He said that this is the holy mountain, this water is the holy water, the holy mountain has been defiled by our people, and he must drink the holy water every day to wash it devoutly, and he will come every three days to pick up two loads of water and go back." ”

But suddenly Zhu Ke broke out and asked angrily: "I'm asking you if you drank the water in this river back then?" ”

Both the middle-aged man and the woman were shocked, and the man nodded tremblingly.

Everything is clear.

When they came here to explore the secrets, it was not easy to climb this cliff, and it was likely that they lived here temporarily, so it was inevitable that this group of people would drink the water from the river. So they stored a certain amount of antitoxin in their bodies, and then went to open the coffin, and they were infected with the green poison and did not attack for the time being, until they died of poison late at night after they returned.

And this middle-aged man obviously participated in the events of that year, but he is the only one who has survived to this day, maybe the Mo people can't figure out the truth. The real reason was that the family had been drinking water from the river, which allowed him to get away with his life.

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly pulled up his sleeve, revealing the mottled arm, and then many people in the crowd pulled up the sleeve, Zhu Ke lowered his head and exposed his arm little by little. She asked, "If, as you say, he has been reduced and even expelled by drinking the water from this river, why is the mark and the tattoo on his back still there?" And people like our younger generation have never touched these coffins, so why are they all dyed? ”

Gu Xi hooked his lips and smiled, with a sarcastic smile in his smile, and he said, "Who told you that these marks are related to tattoos and green stones?" ”

Zhu Ke was stunned, and their entire Mo people were also stunned, I am afraid that this cognition was recognized after the first person showed symptoms back then. She retorted weakly: "But we all have ...... in our younger generation"

"Is anyone dead?" Gu Xi asked rhetorically.

The Mo people looked at each other, and then began to whisper, apparently by Gu Xi's words, that is, these people have appeared marks and tattoos, but no one has died as they did back then.

Zhu Ke retorted: "That's because we used Gu poison to fight poison with poison to temporarily save our lives, if the marks on our bodies are not affected by this poison according to what you said, then the Gu poison enters the body, and we can't bear this poison." ”

"It's not that you didn't get hit with the green slur, the difficulty of this thing is that the poisoned person will become the source of poison, and you will more or less have been in contact with the person concerned on that day, so that the poison will be passed on."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Then I have known her for many years, won't I also be infected with this poison?" "Over the years, I have had a lot of contact with Zhu Ke, but I have never felt anything unusual. And the people I have been in contact with, Zhu Ke has been in contact with in Pingcheng, and they have not heard of the news of sudden death.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows when she saw me speak, "Didn't she already say that she would use Gu poison to suppress toxicity, otherwise do you think she would still be alive today?" The village used that Gu Pond to refine Gu people, in addition to absorbing Gu Qi, the main purpose was to break the poison. ”

Zhu Ke's eyes flashed, acquiescing to this fact.

Ge Mu, who had been silent for a long time, asked at this time: "Just now Mr. Gu said that the mark on my clan's body was not caused by this green poison, so where did this start?" ”

"It is a fire, and once it enters the body, it makes people's body temperature higher than that of ordinary people. There are certain substances in the human body that will gradually ferment when exposed to heat, such as your marks and tattoos. ”

Gu Xi's words didn't mention Gemu and the others, even I was taken aback, and I heard Zhu Ke ask in disbelief: "You mean that these marks are already in our body?" How is this possible? ”

yes, how is that possible? How can there be patterns in the human body? Strictly speaking, if you ignore the hideous shape of the marks on their arms, they are actually a pattern, but from the visual point of view, it feels as if they have been beaten here, but they are coming from the inside of the skin to the outside.

This time, Gu Xi didn't give another answer, but said in a cold voice: "This is for yourself." ”

Zhu Ke looked at Gemu blankly, and Gemu was also blank.

I saw Gu Xi pointing at Xie Ze and asking, "You might as well ask him, do you have these marks on your body?" ”

Xie Ze himself had been gloomyly cowering behind and didn't know what he was thinking, when he was suddenly pointed out and startled. He saw that everyone was looking at him, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Zhu Ke stared at him for a while, and finally shook his head: "He doesn't have it on him." ”

At this time, I thought of the meaning of Gu Xi, those marks and tattoos did not come out originally, they were all latent in the body, and after being hit by the green seed, it was stimulated by its heat, so the long-dormant ones will slowly be revealed. And only Zhu Ke's clan has this symptom, and Xie Ze is a foreigner with a foreign surname, so ......

I said to Zhu Ke, "Go and ask if the woman who has married into your people from outside has that mark on her?" ”

But she didn't move, her pupils shrunk and she said, "No need to ask, there are still fifty-eight people in our clan now, and fifteen of them are married into foreigners, and none of them have any marks on them. ”

And so it was! Looking at Zhu Ke's expression, he should also be able to see through the mystery in the middle.

Therefore, only those who have inherited their Mo lineage have these marks, and foreigners and outsiders have not produced them even if they have been hit. Then the problem comes down to the Mo people, there is something different from ordinary people in their bodies, and since it is inheritance, there is only one answer left: blood!

I see that whether it is Zhu Ke or Gemu, their faces do not have a look of sudden realization, they only become stunned and at a loss. I'm afraid that this shadow of death that has plagued them for more than ten years never expected the final answer to be like this.

After being silent for a long time, I heard Zhu Ke murmuring: "It turns out ...... This is the mark that belongs to our Mo people. I looked sideways, and I couldn't see the look on her face because she had her head down, and I could tell from her voice that there was relief and pride.

Probably sensing my gaze, she raised her head to meet my eyes, but the weak helplessness disappeared in an instant, turned into indifference and stared at me and said slowly: "Wish, can you start?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't react for a while, "What to start?" ”

"You've got through the secrets of this cliff, it's time to start officially going into the charter," she said. ”

My face didn't move, but I was shocked in my heart, she actually saw it? But wasn't she still surprised by my abnormality just now, why did she judge so definitely now?

In a flash of thought, I responded, "I can't do anything." ”

She looked down and smiled before shaking her head lightly, "Wish, maybe you've never really tried to get close to me, but I've been studying how to get close to you since the first day I met you, how to get you to take your guard off and accept me. Do you think I won't know you? ”

I frowned, and a dull ache somewhere in my heart that had been hidden came back to me.
