Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 25: The Heart of Night Cry (1)
I walked out of the underground chamber with Zhao Huasheng, who was unknown, and then came out of the sewer drain, and went along the river to stay with the ghost grass woman he said.
Along the way, I saw that Zhao Huasheng seemed more anxious than me, and I couldn't help but figure it out in my heart, and said that the damn thing is that I am in a hurry to save the fat man and not you, why are you more anxious than me.
Could it be that you have a problem with your sexual orientation and fall in love with the fat man's fat body? Otherwise, you have evil intentions and bad intentions.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that this girl's real identity is not a private detective, right?
But naturally I won't say these suspicions, because now I need him, if I really tear his face on the spot, I don't know if this banana man will turn his face and deny people, and kick me like a sculpture, and then run away by himself, after all, he has already got the map.
I learned from Zhao Huasheng that when he first received Wang Qiming's order in the United States, he had read all of Wang Qiming's materials and the research materials he left behind countless times.
Some of them are about the study of Gu seedlings and Gu techniques.
Later, Zhao Huasheng came to this thousand Miao village with this clue of Gu, and through two months of investigation in disguise, he found that there were really three old Gu Miao people in the village that was already ripe seedlings, and they were the three who gave Gu to the fat man.
Zhao Huasheng found through Wang Qiming's research materials and his secret observation that the Gu technique used by these three ghost grass women was the kind that gave the fat man Gu that day, and this kind of Gu technique was recorded in Wang Qiming's information.
This Gu is called "Drunk Sheng Gu", there is such a sentence in Wang Qiming's data record: "Drunk people pour Gu drunk and reborn, this Gu worm sleeps when it enters the body, if you don't see the wine, you won't wake up, but just a drop of wine will be in the stomach, and it will be like the devil wakes up." ”
Name implies! This "drunk Gu" is effective when he sees wine, but the fat man is still a good drinker, and I don't know where the fat man offended the three ruthless ghost grass women that day.
According to Zhao Huasheng, when we didn't come to Qianhu Miao Village, he was also under Gu when investigating the three ghost grass women, but Ji people have their own natural appearance, it just so happened that he had seen the information of Wang Qiming's research, so he took back the old witch on the spot, so he was spared and escaped the danger of death, and then Zhao Huasheng knew that the clue of finding people with Gu was too unfeasible, too unreliable, and too dangerous, so he had no choice but to choose his most headache, the clue of Feng Shui, which he didn't know anything about.
Coincidentally, I arrived with the fat man and the ghost, and Zhao Huasheng said that he had been engaged in private investigation for so many years, and he didn't dare to boast about it, but he still had a certain sensitivity to see people.
As soon as he saw that although the three of us didn't know our true identities, we could feel that we were not looking for ordinary people, so he had the mentality of giving it a try, and secretly followed him, only to see the fat man being tricked, but he knew that he was not the opponent of the three old witches, so he had to turn a blind eye.
I couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this, but it was not good to have a seizure, people and fat people are not related, and it is normal not to save them when they see death, after all, this is only a moral issue, not within the scope of the law, and there is no obligation and responsibility.
But fortunately, now Zhao Huasheng has fully explained the rescue methods he learned based on Wang Qiming's research materials.
The heart of a species called "Night Cry" is required.
Night Cry!?
I thought to myself that although I did not dare to claim that I was well-read and learned, I had to get four cars of books that I had read since I was literate, but I had never heard of such a species as "night crying".
Asked Zhao Huasheng, he waited for a while, as if he was recalling something, and then responded, "Is this night cry, actually...... Actually, I don't know! I have seen Mr. Wang's research materials have not mentioned it, he only recorded that practicing drunk raw Gu requires the heart of this night cry, and the more popular the better, the same is true for solving this Gu, but as for the medicinal effect, I can explain it in advance, I don't pack a ticket, and I haven't experimented myself. ”
When I heard this, my heart said, "Damn! It's so unreliable, it's a complete pitfall. ”
But after thinking about it again, I remember that there is a record of Gu magic in the evil art chapter of "Hundred Ghost Evil Arts", and it is recorded that the solution to Gu does require the raw materials of Gu practice as medicine introduction, but the book does not record all the Gu varieties of Gu in too much detail, after all, this Gu art still exists like a mystery.
But now that the donkey's skills are poor, there is no other way but to let go, so that there is at least a 50% probability of each, anyway, even if it can't cure the disease, it shouldn't be able to eat the dead.
The top priority can only be to kill the fat man
The pig became a live pig doctor, and he must have this plan in his heart, so he asked Zhao Huasheng, "Then you always know what the hell the hell the night crying heart looks like, right?" Otherwise, it's not in vain. ”
Zhao Huasheng's tone was affirmative, "That's for sure, although Mr. Wang didn't mention the night cry, but he has a relatively detailed record of its heart, and he also drew a draft." ”
That's good, I was sure in my heart, thinking that it wasn't a complete pit yet, and we were talking while hurrying, and the words were almost over, and the road had arrived.
I still habitually looked at the surrounding environment, and found that although the place where these three old witches lived was not a barren mountain with no grass, it was also a deserted ruin.
It seems that the surrounding area used to be a small village, but now it is empty, and it is extremely desolate.
Although it is now noon, it still makes people feel a little shade, and I don't know if it is a psychological effect or an environmental problem.
Zhao Huasheng pointed to a dilapidated stilted building and said, "See! On the floor at the foot of the mountain, that is the house where the three ghost grass women lived, and I was in this near Gu two months ago. ”
Saying that, he looked at his watch, "It's past twelve o'clock, I've studied it clearly, at this point in time they went into the mountains to look for the larvae and poisonous weeds that practiced Gu, and they won't come back until about an hour, so they have to take advantage of this time to find the heart of the night cry." ”
"One hour is enough! Thanks! Happy cooperation, be careful when you go back! With that, I politely reached out to shake his hand.
But Zhao Huasheng didn't mean to stretch out his hand, but looked at me with different eyes, "Let's go?" I didn't want to go! ”
I said in my heart that you can do whatever you want, so I was ready to dive to explore the heart of the night cry recorded by Wang Qiming, but before I took a step, Zhao Huasheng also moved towards the stilted building, I quickly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll go with you to find the heart of the night cry!" Zhao Huasheng looked at me inexplicably.
"What are you going to do?" I'm even more baffled.
Zhao Huasheng said: "Why am I not going to do here? ”
"Holy! It's okay for you, others are avoiding this kind of thing, why do you still want to plunge headlong into this pool of muddy water, there is really a problem. But I just muttered these words in my heart, and my mouth said, "You can only get in the way when you go, so stay here." ”
Zhao Huasheng didn't agree, but he was quite able to say, "Without me, do you know what that night's cry looks like?" As soon as the words fell, he moved away on his own!
Sure enough, it was ill-intentioned! I said something to myself, and I followed.
This stilted building was completely different from what I imagined, I thought that the house where these Gu Miao ghost grass women lived should be dirty and hateful, full of poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, and even eerie, with blood stains everywhere.
But in fact, it is not, except for the dilapidated, it can be seen that it is a little old, and the others are no different from the stilted buildings of the ordinary Miao family.
But as soon as I entered the door, it was completely different, although I had not been to the houses of other Miao people, but it is conceivable that no one can be like this, only to see that the house is spotless, and the hand is wiped on the wooden wall, the thick dust can be used as cosmetics, and there are large and small, new and old small animal skeletons hanging everywhere.
This stilted building is divided into two floors, in addition to the hanging small animal skeletons on the first floor, there are all kinds of bottles and cans neatly and orderly, presumably this is the utensils used to practice Gu.
Two years ago, I heard Uncle Nine say that according to legend, the method of making Gu worms is to put a variety of highly poisonous poisonous insects into the same vessel, so that they can eat and kill each other, and the only remaining poisonous insect is the predecessor of Gu, and then according to the Gu variety to be practiced, it will be cultivated in the later stage.
Seeing so many bottles and cans, I suddenly said that it was not good, if the heart of the night cry was placed in one of these vessels, then we would take time to find it, and we might even open jars that should not be opened.
The ghost only knows if there will be poisonous insects such as Gu King inside, the problem is that Zhao Huasheng and I are like Xiaobai against Gu, I can say that I don't understand anything.
However, Zhao Huasheng's words reassured me a lot, he said that when he came here before, he found that the three ghost grass women were all practicing Gu on the second floor, and the materials used to practice Gu were basically placed on the second floor, so there was no need to waste time on the first floor, just go up to the second floor to find it.
So we went straight to the second floor, before going upstairs I suddenly felt a little uneasy, two years ago, in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, in the primeval forest of Uncle Zhang's village, I also had it
An experience similar to this.
I remember the experience of the haunted house in the forest vividly, as if it was just yesterday.
But at this moment, I am no less nervous than I was then, after all, I was facing something beyond my control.
Although I have been to the tomb many times and experienced countless lives and deaths, the fear and tension in my heart are not as strong as this time, after all, the experience of being a psychedelic Gu in me made me almost kill the fat man with my own hands, and I didn't know it afterwards, or Uncle Jiu told me that the kind of fear and sequelae that were bewitched by the mind, confused consciousness, and made people collapse afterwards are not jackals, tigers and leopards, and exotic birds and beasts can be compared.
After setting up the second floor, in order to save time, Zhao Huasheng and I searched separately, the area of the second floor is estimated to be more than 100 square meters, and the next floor is the same.
But I didn't find anything like a night cry, but I did find some strange flowers and plants, but this thing is of little use to us!
But fortunately, Zhao Huasheng found a dark layer, right above our heads.
This is our last hope, if there is no night cry in the darkness, it is the sky to destroy the fat man! The fat man is really going to shout injustice when he arrives at the Lord of Yama, he usually doesn't steal or rob, he just loves to brag a little, and he has nothing to tease and tease the women of his mother's family, but he has never been really embarrassed, if he is really wronged, the fat man will definitely not agree, I am afraid that he will have to nag me every day if he is a ghost.
Before going to the dark floor, I suddenly had a plan, that is, to let Zhao Huasheng help me keep watch on the second floor, now we are on the second floor There are windows, you can observe the wind and grass outside the building at any time, if the three ghost grass women come back we can still know the first time, then we can evacuate in time.
But if you go to the dark floor, the situation outside the building is really blind, so you have to leave one behind.
The dark layer is not far from what I imagined, it is pitch black, and the area is large, much smaller than the first and second floors.
By the light of my phone, I was ready to look around, but to my surprise, I realized that the dark layer was empty, and there were not piles of bottles and cans as I imagined.
The only thing that was one thing was a large wooden box, a storage box, unlocked, and I opened it with the last shred of hope.
Pity! There is no so-called night cry heart, there is only a set of Miao clothes, this Miao clothes are exquisitely made, the craftsmanship is extraordinary, through the bright and rich embroidery on it, it is known that it is women's clothing, and it is also a dress.
As the name suggests, casual clothes are worn daily, and dresses are worn on special holidays.
Look at this Miao suit is a little familiar, it seems that where have you seen it? Driven by curiosity, I took it out to watch, only to see the embroidery with mountains and rivers, flying birds and cattle, humanities houses, each embroidered on it with artistic processing techniques, so not gorgeous, no wonder this Miao costume is called the most gorgeous costume in China, wearing the history books on the body.
I thought I was familiar with similar Miao clothes in the village, but when I opened it, I realized that otherwise, this Miao clothes are very different from those worn by the Miao people in the village.
There is a difference in embroidery, in addition to all the embroidery of the usual Miao clothes, its back and skirt hem have some strange patterns.
That is, it is not birds and animals, nor is it the geography of mountains and rivers, but it seems to be some kind of totem, and the reason why I feel familiar is because of these totems that I don't know what they represent.
But I can't remember it for a while, I was going to say that this place is where the three ghost grass women live, and it is understandable that their Miao clothes are different from others, but the problem is that this familiarity is not an illusion and a sense of immediacy, but I have really seen it, but I am not impressed, and after thinking about it for a while, it is still fruitless, so I am ready to put it back.
But at this moment, I noticed that the silver jewelry on the Miao suit was missing, and what made me different was that I had seen the part that I had concluded was missing from other styles of the same silver jewelry, and it was not long ago.
That's the one found in Deng Ganggan's daughter's room, which makes me feel inexplicably that there is some key information in it, but I can't say what the key information is, but this sixth sense is unusually strong.
I didn't find the so-called night cry, so I had to leave the dark layer in frustration, and when I just went down to the second floor, I found that Zhao Huasheng was gone.
