Chapter 162:
Gu Jinnian's eyes were a little dazed, she said that she dreamed that she was standing in a snow-white fog, she couldn't see anything but white, her body was very painful, as if something was going to be separated, and then slowly merged, she heard a child's cry, heartbreaking, and shouted one by one, 'It's the same root, why is it too anxious'.
"Haha, Gu Jinnian, I'm afraid you haven't been to school for a long time, you want to go to class and want to go crazy, you can recite poems in your dreams." I smiled exaggeratedly, trying to distract Gu Jinnian's attention.
In fact, I knew in my heart that it was not a dream, but when Xu Fu was separating the ghost baby, the ghost baby was struggling.
Ghost Baby and Gu Jinnian should have been half-siblings.
Gu Jinnian pouted and complained when I said this: "Bad Pengpeng, see if I don't tear your mouth, you will say yes!" ”
Seeing that Gu Jinnian finally got better, a big stone in my heart fell to the ground, Miao Jiang is not safe here, so I asked Zhuang Jihui to take Gu Jinnian back to Jiangcheng as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"Peng Peng, your immortal family is good to you, right?" Zhuang Jihui asked me.
I nodded, "Well, that's great." ”
"That's good, then I can rest assured, Pengpeng, congratulations." Zhuang Jihui said with a smile.
I also laughed: "I also congratulate Brother Zhuang on his double happiness, you must treat Jinnian well, you will definitely have a good future." ”
"Don't worry, I know what I have to do." Brother Zhuang said solemnly.
At that time, it was already dark, and Zhuang Jihui and the others were ready to rest for one night and leave early the next morning.
That night, I wanted to talk to Hu Qichen about the corpse refiner, but I didn't expect the people in the clan to hear that I was back, and made a bonfire dinner, and a group of people went to the village, making a fuss and jumping until the second half of the night, Gu Jinnian went crazy, and finally collapsed in Zhuang Jihui's arms.
After breakfast the next day, we sent Zhuang Jihui and them to Phoenix Town, and Gu Jinnian bought some souvenirs before leaving.
"Gu Jinnian's affairs have been completed, when do you plan to return to Jiangcheng?" Hu Qichen asked me, others are here, obviously absent-minded.
I looked up at him: "Hu Qichen, we don't have to rush back, if I guess correctly, the initiator should be in Miaojiang now." ”
"The initiator?" Hu Qichen frowned, "Which one are you referring to?" ”
"Necromer." I said firmly, "Let's not go back to the Wu family first, I'll take you to a place." ”
I took Hu Qichen to the train station in a tricycle, and then got on the train, all the way to Qixia Station.
After getting off the train at Qixia Station, he found the big locust tree, looked up at the yellow handkerchief that was still fluttering on the big locust tree, and asked Hu Qichen: "Can you sense any difference here?" ”
"You had an accident here last time, I remember." Hu Qichen said.
I pointed to the road sign under the big locust tree and said: "There is a parallel space in this area, it should be an enchantment, there were decades ago, I told you, I met an old man here, he helped me get out, and then he entrusted me with some things, this yellow handkerchief should be a token to attract the corpse refiner back, but the corpse refiner is very cunning, so far he has not taken the bait, he should be doing something to prepare." ”
How smart Hu Qichen is, as soon as I reminded him like this, he immediately came to his senses: "Are you saying that the previous Gu disaster has something to do with the corpse refiner?"
"Yes, nine times out of ten, it was made by the corpse refiner, he is afraid of the old man who lives here, if we can contact the old man again, let him cooperate with us inside and outside, and take down the corpse refiner in one fell swoop." I said excitedly, as if the moment I had caught the corpse refiner was close in sight.
Hu Qichen shook his head: "You are too idealistic, to tell you the truth, even I can't find where the entrance is, according to your description, the old man doesn't like to be disturbed by others, if it weren't for his own wishes, I guess even if we enter it, he won't cooperate with us." ”
"What then?" I was a little discouraged, I thought that this was already a great breakthrough, but in the end it was a wasted joy.
Hu Qichen put his arm around my waist and returned to the train station: "Don't worry, since we know that this is a snail settlement, then he will always show up one day, just wait patiently." ”
"Xu Fu has already deployed a lot of people here, and he has been guarding it for many days, are we waiting for news here?" I asked.
Hu Qichen shook his head: "Of course it's impossible, after all, our enemy is not only one corpse refiner, we have to go back to Jiangcheng." ”
"What about this side?" The corpse refiner should be in Miao Jiang recently!
"Isn't there Xu Fu? There is also the old man of Yizhuang, it is enough, you can go back to Jiangcheng with me. "Hu Qichen has already made a decision.
I shook my head: "Now there is nothing to do with me in Jiangcheng, I have to stay here, catch the corpse refiner and rescue Qian Mengmeng as soon as possible, Hu Qichen, you can ignore Qian Mengmeng, I can't." ”
"Do you think the corpse refiner will run around with Qian Mengmeng?" Hu Qichen asked me rhetorically.
I was speechless, Qian Mengmeng is a big living person, he was taken away at the Jiangcheng Bridge, will the corpse refiner send him to Miao Jiang?
I think the possibility will be very small, after all, even if the corpse refiner wants to use Qian Mengmeng, it is mainly to deal with us in Jiangcheng, and he will have something to do when he returns to Miaojiang.
"Then, do you think Qian Mengmeng is still in Jiangcheng?" I began to waver a little, "However, if you catch the corpse refiner in Miaojiang, you can also ask about Qian Mengmeng's whereabouts, Hu Qichen, is it okay for you to stay with me in Miaojiang for a few more days, and when we catch the corpse refiner, we will go back to Jiangcheng together." ”
Hu Qichen hesitated: "Jiangcheng is ...... over there"
"Okay, okay, you can rest assured that you will leave me in Miaojiang and ignore it?" I started to be spoiled.
This trick was really smart, and Hu Qichen finally nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you for a few more days, but if there is no news of the corpse refiner, you must go back to Jiangcheng with me." ”
"Okay, whatever you say, I'll listen to you." I hugged him doggedly and said.
In the next two days, we stayed in Wu's house peacefully, Hu Qichen would chat with my grandmother most of the time, and I was taken around by Xinyue all day long, she led me to visit many people in the clan who had heads and faces, and they were familiar, saying that if I really became a great wizard in the future, these people would be under my control, so it would be better to familiarize myself with them first.
Two days later, there was news from Jiangcheng, saying that Huang Xian was about to move again, Hu Qichen couldn't sit still, he had to take me back, I was very unwilling, I knew that the corpse refiner was in Miaojiang but I didn't even see a shadow, even if I went back to Jiangcheng, I had a pimple in my heart after all.
It happened that Xinyue said that day that she was going to take me to a Gu master's house to play, and I suddenly remembered something, and when I went to Xu Fu and asked, "Uncle Xu, there was a Gu disaster that day, after those Gu worms ate the corpses, what remained in the body was the yin qi carried by those corpses?" ”
"So to speak, why are you asking this?" Xu Fu was puzzled.
I immediately felt like I had discovered a new world: "Then I have a way to track down the corpse refiner!" ”
With that, I ran to find Hu Qichen, and then asked Xinyue to take us to visit the Gu Master to find out the Gu worms that remained from the night of the Gu Calamity.
As soon as he mentioned this, the Gu Master suddenly frowned, he said that there were still hundreds of Gu worms that they had recovered by several Gu Masters that night, but after that, they couldn't stand the erosion of the evil qi, and most of them died overnight, and after they confirmed, all the dead were male.
"All male?" I was surprised, "What could be causing this?" ”
"This shows that the few corpses that appeared outside Phoenix Town that night were all female corpses full of evil spirit, and the female Gu could transform this part of the evil qi very well, but the male Gu couldn't, resulting in rejection, and the female demon was too strong, which led to the total destruction of the male Gu." The Gu Master was heartbroken.
"What kind of woman is so powerful?" I'm a little panicked, if the corpses are all men, I'm not so nervous, but Qian Mengmeng is a woman!
"As long as they have been humiliated in life, they are not allowed to be reincarnated after death, and the resentful female corpse may form a female demon in a certain environment, but there are a few Gu worms raised by our people who are particularly powerful, and ordinary female demons can't hurt them at all, and we are also looking for this vicious person these days." Gu Master said.
I hurriedly pushed Hu Qichen forward: "This, this one can help track down and find the murderer, but I have to borrow your Gu worms to use them, the ones who have experienced the Gu disaster and are still alive." ”
"Those Gu worms also slowly died a lot later, and the remaining few are now crazy, I don't dare to release them, they may not really help you." The Gu Master rejected our request.
Xu Fu also said before that these Gu worms have become murderous Gu, and when they come out, they will suck people's blood, and even kill people, after so many days of fermentation, I don't know how powerful they are, and it is reasonable for Gu Master not to agree.
"What about those Gu worms that died before? How was it handled? I persevered.
Gu Master's eyes flashed: "All, it's all dealt with." ”
"How did you deal with it? Buried? Go up in flames? As long as a little wreckage can be found. "Anyway, we can't miss a glimmer of hope," let's smell those Gu worms. ”
"The corpses of those Gu worms have been taken away by one of our old Gu masters, she has raised a Golden Silkworm Gu, she is not afraid of being attacked by the evil spirit of women, these Gu worm remains are its delicious meal." Gu Master confessed.
Well, then it is estimated that it has long been digested by now.
"Don't talk nonsense, no matter how powerful the murderous Gu is, they are also controlled by you, since you can control it, are you afraid that they will not be able to escape? After all, you are still reluctant to kill these murderous Gu, but what I want to tell you is that if the other party can lure away your Gu worms once, there may be a second and third time, the more reluctant you are to kill these Gu worms, in the future, the more likely they are to become the executioners who sent you to the Western Heavens, you have to think clearly. Hu Qichen, who had never spoken, spoke amazingly.
The Gu Master's lips trembled, it seemed that he was really talking about the point, and it took a while before he said, "I...... Actually, if it really came to that time, I would kill these murderous Gu as soon as possible, but at present, they are very valuable for research, so it's a pity to kill them like this. ”
"I don't care what you want to do with them, I just want to know, can we meet those Gu worms?" Hu Qichen was born with an aura that could not be denied, so powerful that ordinary people would not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
The Gu Master hesitated for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, he made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll take you to meet these Gu worms now." ”
Different Gu worms have different habits, but the Gu worms we are going to see are not in the Gu Master's house, the Gu Master took us all the way to the west, stopping next to a deserted dry well.
This type of well is not a draft well of the past, it was built between fields to store water for irrigation of crops.
The Gu master went down first, we followed, and when we got to the bottom, it was another turn, and we suddenly felt a cold air rushing towards our faces, and then we saw a wall, there was a mechanism on the wall, the Gu master opened the mechanism and took us in, and we saw a transparent vessel, there were several Gu worms flying constantly, the vessel was specially made, and there was a catheter on the periphery, which could directly direct the blood into the container inside, so as to feed the Gu worms inside.
But even so, we still saw the remains of other Gu worms inside the vessel.
The Gu Master couldn't help but shake his head: "These little guys are too fierce, fighting all day long, and they are not merciful to their own kind. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you get one out for us first, and you can place the rest however you want." Hu Qichen said impatiently.
The Gu master took a special net bag, slowly stretched it in, and carefully fished it out, Hu Qichen's cold hand knife cut down from the back of his neck, the Gu master turned his head to look at us in disbelief, Hu Qichen gave him another hand, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Hu Qichen picked up the net pocket, stirred up all those Gu worms, and then condensed his internal force, directly shook the Gu worms into scum, and then got the corpses of the Gu worms out and summoned his ghost pets, and the ghost pets immediately flew away with the corpses of those Gu worms.
The whole process was done in one go, without the slightest hesitation, and it was only when he pulled me out of the well that I reacted: "Hu Qichen, that Gu master is still inside." ”
"Are you afraid he'll die inside?" Hu Qichen didn't have a good breath and said, "This kind of person is innocent." ”
"How can you talk like that, you are treacherous, how can you ......"
"Why can't I?" Hu Qichen interrupted me, "Didn't you see the way his eyes lit up when he looked at those Gu worms?" What a greedy look that is? He raised these Gu worms, but instead of feeding them, he starved them and let them kill each other, what was his purpose? ”
I was stunned for a moment: "He wants to cultivate the most powerful murderous Gu." ”
"Yes." Hu Qichen pulled me back, "Human nature is greedy, especially when you encounter something you want to get, many people will immediately be unable to hold it, this Gu master is obviously the one who can't hold it, keeping these Gu worms will only harm people, it is better to kill a hundred." ”
"Okay, okay, or you're calm, I admire you the most, okay?" I said, "I don't know when your ghost pet will be able to bring us news." ”
"It's not early, let's go back to the Wu family first, and wait for the news."
After returning to Wu's house, we ate and washed up until early seven o'clock, when the ghost pet flew back, and we immediately followed him out.
The ghost pet took us around, and just when I thought he was lost, he led us up a dirt slope, which was not very high, and there was a hazy white fog below, and it seemed that the lights could still be seen faintly.
"There's a house down there." I pointed down and said.
Hu Qichen looked at me suspiciously: "Can you see it?" ”
"Isn't it very clear, can't you see?" I asked Hu Qichen rhetorically.
Hu Qichen frowned: "There is an enchantment below, and the yin and evil qi is very heavy, logically speaking, you can't see it with your skills." ”
"I haven't opened my eyes yet, and I thought it was normal underneath." I'll be honest.
Hu Qichen nodded: "That may be the impact of your ghost pet on your body has taken another step." ”
"Really? But isn't the ghost pet always injured during this time? I asked rhetorically.
Hu Qichen didn't know what the reason was, at that time, we didn't have much energy to dwell on this matter, Hu Qichen took me step by step to get closer to that village.
As I got closer, I could hear the sound of suona.
The suona is a really magical instrument, it can be played at funerals, and it can also be played at happy events, and it is not a tall instrument in itself, but it can hold all the scenes.
And on this big night, the suona is blowing joy, is there someone in the village doing happy events?
The whole village is not big, more than a dozen households, all of them are two-story bamboo buildings, divided into two rows, facing each other, we can only see the back wall of the bamboo building near our side.
A thin layer of white mist permeated the surroundings of the village, and the bamboo buildings were lit up with red and gloomy lights.
While we were looking around, the sound of suona slowly moved towards the west of the village from near and far, but as far as our eyes could see, it was pitch black, and there were no other buildings.
Hu Qichen put his arm around my waist, took me and flew over slowly, moving with the sound of suona, for a while, a few people walked out of the middle of the two rows of bamboo buildings, all of them were first-class men, strong and strong, walking in front of two people who played suona, followed by four carrying sedan chairs, behind was a red sedan chair, and the back bar was also carried by four big men, and then back, followed by two rows of women like flowers and jade, all wearing red wedding robes, white and scary, walking on tiptoe, floating and floating, not a person at first glance.
I felt a chill run down my spine, what was going on?
I just wanted to open my mouth to ask Hu Qichen, Hu Qichen immediately covered my mouth, signaled me not to speak, the sedan chair slowly disappeared into the darkness, and then, the ten strong men who played the suona and carried the sedan chair all called it a day and left the village, and the female ghosts in red disappeared.
We lay down on the hillside and waited for a long time, when suddenly we heard a heart-rending howl, which rang only once, and then came to an abrupt end!
Hu Qichen left the village with me, and returned the same way quickly, without saying a word on the way, until he returned to Wu's house, I couldn't help but ask him: "Hu Qichen, what's wrong?" What's going on in that village? ”
"I don't know yet, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out." Hu Qichen said.
"Hu Qichen, are you afraid?" I felt his mood change and asked with some uneasiness.
Hu Qichen shook his head: "Who am I afraid of?" I just don't want to take any chances, and I don't want to break into it until the situation is clear, after all, the evil spirit of that village is even depressing to me, and if it is twelve o'clock in the night, I can't guarantee that the two of us will not be discovered. ”
"Can't even stop you?" I wondered, "How can the evil spirit in the village be so heavy?" Something to do with those female ghosts, isn't it? ”
"Yes! The bodies of those female ghosts should still be in the village. Hu Qichen analyzed, "And they have all formed women." ”
My eyes widened suddenly: "That village is the stronghold of the corpse refiners, isn't it?" Hu Qichen, you answer me, don't you? ”
"It should be, but I don't guarantee that he only has this one stronghold." Hu Qichen replied.
I immediately couldn't sit still, Hu Qichen held me down: "Peng Peng, I'm afraid that you will be impulsive if you say it, so I will take you away directly, the night is getting deeper and deeper, and the village will become more and more dangerous at this time, even if Qian Mengmeng is really in the village, you can't save her if you go now, and you will become their prisoner." ”
I clenched my hands tightly and nodded vigorously: "Hu Qichen, I won't act without permission, I know the severity, but can you understand whether my current mood is right, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, who will be carrying it in the sedan chair today?" And who screamed later? ”
"It's not Qian Mengmeng!" Hu Qichen pressed my shoulder to calm me down, "I'm sure it's not Qian Mengmeng, Qian Mengmeng's voice is a little shriek, and the woman's voice is a little hoarse tonight." ”
I kept nodding my head and kept telling myself that Hu Qichen was right, so as to numb my nerves and prevent myself from making mistakes impulsively.
Later, Hu Qichen hugged me to bed, two hands wrapped around my body to restrict me, I kept my eyes open until dawn, as soon as the day dawned, I immediately struggled to get up: "Hu Qichen, hurry up, it's dawn, let's go find Qian Mengmeng." ”
"Wait, we'll leave at ten o'clock." Hu Qichen stared at my red eyes, and said distressedly, "You close your eyes, sleep peacefully for a while, and I'll call you when the time comes." ”
I couldn't hold it anymore: "Hu Qichen, what are you waiting for?" Wait, maybe the daylilies are cold. ”
"What do you think you're doing early in the morning if you're a corpse refiner?" Hu Qichen asked me.
I instantly calmed down: "Will go over and inspect the loot." ”
"Yes, if we go at this time, maybe we'll meet him."
"Isn't that just right? Directly arrest him and force him to hand over the money Mengmeng! ”
Hu Qichen denied my opinion: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, it is impossible for the corpse refiner to have only this one stronghold, what if Qian Mengmeng is not in this village?" Even if we succeed in catching the corpse refiner, can you guarantee that he doesn't have a caliber? Once these outlaws are exposed, they will not give themselves room to leak secrets, and Qian Mengmeng can only follow the funeral at that time. ”
