After such a toss, I had no sleepiness, I saw Zhou Tong yawning frequently outside the window, very sleepy, and couldn't help but suggest to Sheng Shiyao: "Why don't you let Zhou Tong go to sleep, and the two of us go to vigil?" ”
He glanced at it and said, "Let him guard, your body can't withstand the cold outside." "The black eyes rolled, and they caught the hand I had hidden in the long sleeve, needless to say, cold. He frowned and pulled me in front of him, "Xiaoxiao, if you endure for a while, I will find a way to get rid of the yin qi on you." ”
Slightly stunned, he sat up straight and turned his head to look at him, "Can the yin qi in my body be cured?" Didn't you say that it was brought from the womb? ”
He nodded his head, "That's why I can't cure you." Cheng Qingping used Yang Shou to suppress yin for you before, but it was only temporarily suppressed that yin qi did not leak out, and the symptoms were not cured, I have the ability to drain the yin qi, but the yin qi in your body has been fused with the soul qi for too long from birth to the present, and the withdrawal of yin qi means that the soul qi is withdrawn. ”
My heart trembled, now I am most afraid of hearing the word "soul qi", Sheng Shiyao knew what was going on in his heart as soon as he saw my expression, and said in a silent voice for two seconds: "I have already announced that incident to you, and you are not allowed to think nonsense anymore." The proclamation of that day was still in my ears, and he said it implicitly, but the meaning was clear. To be honest, I like to listen to Sheng Shiyao say those love words that belong to his own mode, strong and domineering, hiding warmth, a little eyebrows and gentle eyes, I can't get drunk.
I know that on the road of Aisheng Shiyao, there is no turning back.
In the end, I fell asleep in his warm arms, and woke up in his arms, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I met the black eyes that seemed to be covered with a veil, and the light of my eyes fell on my face, as if looking at me, but there was no focus. It's really surprising that Sheng Shiyao actually had a fugue time, and I didn't move, just stared at him, waiting to see when he would come back to his senses.
Seeing his reflection in the dark eyes, there was an indescribable laziness in the thin outline, and he was looking at it when he suddenly heard a voice saying, "The saliva has fallen." I hurriedly raised my hand to wipe the corners of my mouth, found that it was dry, glared and asked, "Are you awake?" He raised his eyebrows, "Thought you were wandering all day?" I knew it as soon as you opened your eyes, and I wanted to see how you reacted. ”
I've been tricked! Early in the morning, he was amused. Annoyed, he pushed his face away, climbed up and went to the car door, but he grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?" He replied angrily: "People have three urgencies, do you want to go with them." ”
After getting out of the car, I looked around, it was still early, most people didn't get up, only a few people were rinsing their mouths with mineral water. Zhou Tong was dozing off the edge of the tent, the fire had already been extinguished, and I saw a figure and immediately walked up. The whole convoy, just me and Jian Ning are women, and it is not convenient for men to solve this matter when they are traveling, so they have to find a hidden place. It was difficult for us to go far, so we could only walk forward for nearly 50 meters, and one person was left behind the tree.
After I hurriedly solved the three emergencies, I came out to change Jian Ningyi, and took this opportunity to look at the distant peaks, which are indeed continuous, 100,000 mountains are exaggerated, but there are really a lot of mountains on top of each other. Suddenly I heard an exclamation behind me, I was startled, and hurriedly turned to look, and saw Jian Ning staring at the roots of the tree not far away with a miserable white face. I thought there were snakes and insects, but when I got closer to look, I was also frightened, and in the grass at the root of the tree three meters away, there seemed to be a human hand standing upright, revealing half of his arm.
The two of us looked at each other, and the angle of this hand was ...... People are buried underneath?
"Cheng ...... Cheng Xiao, do you want to go over and take a look? Or go back and call them? Jian Ning asked with a trembling voice. I bit my lower lip and decided, "Go back and call them." "It's not that I'm cowardly, I've experienced all kinds of dangers, and I'm afraid of a corpse that may be buried in the ground? The main thing is that there is a bad feeling in my heart, which is very strong. I was going to let Jian Ning go back and call someone, but I stayed here to observe, but I was afraid that Sheng Shiyao would come back to me to settle accounts, so I gave up.
The two trotted back to the convoy and told them about the situation one after another, only to see Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu looking at each other in the air, and they both frowned slightly. As soon as I saw this face, I realized that they definitely didn't want to meddle in things. Sure enough, Zhuang Yu spoke: "Don't make any extraneous branches, it's time to hurry." Jian Ningyi wanted to distinguish: "But ......" but was interrupted by Zhuang Yu: "Ning Yi!" Even if it was a corpse or a murder, what could you do? Call the police? ”
There was no sound, and indeed there were many "equipment" in our car at the moment, and it was impossible to call the police, and there was not so much effort to wait for the police to find them and record a confession. But at this moment, Uba, who had been silent next to him, asked in a loud voice: "You say that the hand is upright, so are its fingers curled or open?" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhuang Yu looked puzzled, I was thinking back in my mind, and I heard Jian Ningyi say affirmatively: "It's the five fingers open." She found out at the time, and she was really taken aback, so she was more emotional at this time. I added: "The strange thing is that the hand was in the weeds next to the roots, and there was no sign of turning the earth, and it was not a white bone, but a human hand with flesh and bones. ”
That's why I just figured out why I had a very wicked and bad feeling when I saw that hand. If it is a murder case, someone is killed and buried in the mountains and forests, and the hands are not rotten into bones, which means that the time is only these two days, then it is impossible for weeds to grow quickly, and there are no traces of turning the soil, so it will not open the whole grass and bury people in it, so why will that hand reach out?
Just listen to Uba: "This may not be an ordinary burial corpse. ”
Eventually, we came to the tree, and we saw up close the hand stretched out in the grass, it was indeed a human hand, but it seemed as if a layer of oil had been applied to the hand, and the hand would be bent and weak after death, but the hand was straight and open with five fingers. Zhou Tong squatted down and took a closer look, and said suspiciously: "Look at this nail is so long, it can't be a corpse." ”
Liuzi also squatted down to study, picked a branch next to him and was about to touch the hand, but was stopped by Uba Shen: "Don't touch it!" I was startled, and the six executioners also shrank back, and Zhou Tong complained dissatisfiedly: "Can you not be surprised?" ”
Uba ignored him, staring at the hand with a fierce light, "This is the Gu arm, with the fresh human hand as the carrier, planted into the Gu worm, when the Gu grows to a certain extent in the blood, it will be cut off by the roots, immediately smeared with special divine oil, and then inserted it next to the roots, in order to let the roots of the roots of the tree entangle it and connect it with the Gu altar below, so as to achieve the purpose of raising Gu." Now, the subcutaneous layer of this hand should be full of Gu worms, once it is attracted to the human body, think about the consequences for yourself. ”
Liuzi almost immediately threw the branch in his hand to the ground, Zhou Tong's face changed, and he said in a strong voice: "You are alarmist." Uba snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe you can dig up the soil next to the roots of the tree to see if there are any corpses underneath, but I have to warn you, but don't break the Gu altar, otherwise even if the Gu is not formed, it will fly out like locusts." ”
After the discussion, he decided to take a shovel from the car and dig the next layer to inspect, because Wuba said that this place is still on the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and it stands to reason that no one will erect the Gu arm here to raise Gu, and although witchcraft is prevalent in southern Xinjiang, after all, there are a few people who understand this, and it is very strange to raise Gu so blatantly.
Since we were all laymen, Uba had to dig the earth himself, and he first went around to the roots of the tree and shoveled, and after digging three feet, he saw the coiled roots, and then carefully went around the front with a shovel. When the head of the coffin with black paint appeared underneath, Zhou Tong shouted beside him: "It is not a burial corpse, this is clearly a coffin." But when Uba dug on the other side and there was a black coffin, everyone was silent. It is impossible that the coffin will be so short, and the visual distance is about one meter or so, so this should be a black and wooden box. But in terms of shape, it is indeed somewhat similar to the coffin, and there is an obvious lid.
When the roots were tightly intertwined with his hands and the wooden box underneath, Uba stopped his shovel and thus revealed the shape of the underground. It was a square wooden box of equal length and width, with a hole in the middle of the box, just inserted into the upper arm, and the roots of the tree seemed to grow together with the arm, filling the gap between the holes. On the surface, this box is sealed, and I don't know if there is the Gu jar that Uba said in it.
I felt a slight doubt in my heart, burying things in the ground like this is called raising Gu? There must be some kind of assistance to achieve the goal. And if you are exposed like this, you are not afraid that passers-by will find out and destroy it? Uba also had no explanation for this, saying that under normal circumstances, Gu arms are buried in the ground and will not be exposed to the outside of the soil.
Sheng Shiyao, who was silent for a while, spoke at this time: "I know why it is exposed, it is because of the soil quality and this old tree. Zhuang Yu nodded, "That's right, don't look at this tree looks tall and stout, but because the roots and nutrients are robbed by the contents of this wooden box, it makes its inner bottom empty, and at the same time changes the geological layer around the roots, but in rainy weather, the soil layer around the wooden box will sink due to water seepage, and over time, the hands that were originally buried in the ground will be exposed." ”
When we went around to the other side and cut a hole in the trunk with a shovel, we found that it was already rotting wood, and it would not be long before the tree would become a dead tree. I left some distance to dig the soil under my feet, and found that the color of the soil layer was brick red, while the soil we had just dug up at the root of the tree was black, and the area was about ten square meters.
So it is speculated that the reason why the Gu cultivator chose to bury his arms here to raise Gu should be the relationship between this tree, and found that there are many trees around, but this one is different, its leaves are small and brownish-red.
I don't know why, looking at the small brown leaves, I feel a kind of demonic feeling.
