Chapter 7: Parchment Rolls
The patriarch vomited three or four mouthfuls of black blood in a row, and hung on the head of the bed in exhaustion, and no longer had the strength to scare me.
"Xiaocha, they are all people from the village, don't do it too much." Wang Tiezhu persuaded.
I looked at the little snakes that were still wriggling on the ground, and my heart was like numbness, this is indeed a snake Gu, how to solve this snake Gu Grandma also told me, but I can't be wronged in vain.
I didn't put this snake Gu, but it must be inseparable from Jiaolongpo, so, could it be the Gu that the snake fairy released?
He even knows Gu art?
I couldn't help but think of his double pupils, if he really knew how to do Gu magic, he would definitely be a master second to none.
The whole village doesn't want to see me, so I can't bear this crime, in their hearts, this matter is inseparable from me, what I want to do is not to exonerate myself, but to use this opportunity to achieve my goal.
Thinking of this, I said: "The patriarch has indeed fallen for the snake Gu, and it is not impossible to get rid of the snake Gu, but he must agree to let my mother go back to the ancestral grave." ”
"No-" The patriarch stretched out his voice and shouted out the word desperately, and the villagers outside were in a commotion again, but because of the vision of Jiaolongpo before, they didn't dare to say anything casually.
Wang Tiezhu looked at me in embarrassment: "Xiaocha, your mother has been buried in Jiaolongpo for 20 years, and your grandmother didn't insist on her returning to her ancestral grave when she was there, so why do you want to touch the scales of the villagers?" ”
"But Jiaolongpo is going to be dug up, can I watch my mother's bones being ruined by you? Just one sentence today, either let my mother go back to the ancestral grave, or, everyone will be buried together! "I said this very seriously, I don't know if I feel that I have the support of the snake fairy, and I have no fear, and I have become bolder.
The patriarch didn't let go, Wang Tiezhu was caught in the middle and was also anxious, I was angry in my heart, I turned around and left, no one could stay.
When I got home, I didn't have the heart to eat, so I went to my grandmother's room and pulled out a wooden box from a secret compartment under her bed.
This wooden box has been here for a long time, my grandmother once said that her life's work is in it, if I want to touch Gu one day, this thing will definitely help me.
Open the wooden box, there is a black notebook lying quietly inside, very thick, open the notebook, and it is densely recorded with fly-headed small blocks the cultivation methods of various Gu insects and the doorway to release Gu and solve Gu.
I quickly turned to the page of the method of solving the Gu corresponding to the snake Gu that the patriarch had in today, in fact, I remember the method of solving the Gu, but after all, this is the first time I plan to solve the Gu in person, so I still have to make sure, after comparing them one by one, I put the notebook back in the wooden box, and I plan to put it back in the dark grid.
This is the most precious thing my grandmother left me, and I have to be careful.
I don't know if it's a notebook is old, the part of the next line binding is a little loose, snapped, something fell from the part where the leather and the paper intersected, I was surprised, after all, when I was very young, my grandmother often showed me the notebook, so many years, I also remember the content of the seven, seven, eight, eight, but I never found that there was a mezzanine in the notebook, and my grandmother didn't tell me?
I picked up the things on the ground and peeled off the brown paper wrapped around the outside, layer by layer, and there were three layers, revealing the contents inside.
What surprised me was that it was so tightly wrapped, and it was only a parchment roll, very irregular, the size of a man's palm, and it was densely packed with characters like ghostly drawings, and I didn't know any of them.
"What is this?" I looked at it for a while, knowing that it was important to my grandmother at least, so I hid it with me, thinking that when school started, I could go to the library and look it up, and then put my notebook back in the hidden compartment.
In the next half a day, there was no other movement in the village, I didn't eat a few meals and was hungry, I made dinner early, and while eating, I was thinking that the patriarch's old stubbornness would have to dig Jiaolongpo sooner or later, or I would dig out my mother's bones in the dark tonight.
Sticky and uncomfortable, when I took a bath, I inadvertently saw the scales on the inner thigh, which seemed to grow a little more, and I was inexplicably afraid, will this scale grow bigger and bigger, and finally spread all over my body?
Then I remembered what the snake fairy said during the day, what did he want me to call him?
I don't know his name.
What a weirdo!
But I have a lot of things in my heart to ask him, as if every time he appears, the scales will be hot, I reached out and rubbed it, hoping to rub it and call the snake fairy out, but after rubbing it for a long time, the skin is about to break, and I don't even see the slightest shadow of the snake fairy.
In the end, I had to give up, just wiped off the water stains and put on my pajamas, but the courtyard door was slammed, and the wooden door rumbled, and I asked loudly, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Xiaocha, you get up and go to the patriarch's house with me, something big has happened." Wang Tiezhu shouted.
I snorted coldly: "I can't take care of his business, besides, he doesn't bother to ask me for help, let him ask another master." ”
"Please, I went to the village next door in the afternoon to invite Lu Gushi, but, but ......, hey, you better go and see for yourself, Xiaocha, no matter how resentful we are, we can't see death without help, watching the patriarch die, how eye-catching is the camellia festival in our village, how many villages around want to swallow us, as soon as the patriarch falls, it will really be chaotic." Wang Tiezhu said earnestly.
I thought to myself, how much does the mess have to do with me, anyway, I've always been like an outsider in this village.
But after all, this is also where I grew up for 20 years, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion, and I really can't do things that I can't save when I die.
I was also shocked when I saw the patriarch again, it was only half a day, and he was covered with abscesses the size of soybean grains, some of which were broken, revealing red, red, white and white flesh, and some of which were not broken, with yellow pus, looking like a giant toad.
This was clearly the consequence of the failure to solve the Gu and was counterattacked, and he turned his face and asked the Lu Gu Master angrily: "What did you do?" ”
