Chapter 122: The Living and the Dead (Three Watches)
"I didn't find it, but the situation just now, if you really investigate it, it will only make the situation worse, so the best way is to stay quiet, stabilize the other party first, and also stabilize the mood of the villagers, and wait until we determine who is poisoning, and then consider the next plan." Liao Qingjiang said.
"Could it really be that the other party is just a prank, as you say? After all, if he wanted to harm Ji Zang, whether it was snake venom or Gu worms, he could easily kill Ji Zang, and the other party just let Ji Zang have diarrhea, maybe it was really just a prank, or he just wanted to take a small revenge on Ji Zang. Auntie said. He also gave me a special look.
I understand what my aunt meant, she doesn't want to cause a crisis of trust in the village at such a moment, which will lead to discouragement.
"Silver girl, don't excuse that spy at this time, you know. That's certainly not a prank. Let Ji Zang have a stomach in the middle of the night and be caught by the Changshan Ghost, is what they really want, they must find out this person, no matter who it is. None of them can be spared. Granny Gu said in a fierce voice.
The aunt opened her mouth, but finally swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Granny Gu explained to us a few of us how dangerous it was tonight, everything I experienced after going to the toilet was not an illusion, but a method of space transfer, which was a bit similar to the ghost space that Liao Qingjiang talked about.
To put it simply, the Changshan ghosts and those monsters did arrive in the village, but they were not in the human world, they were in the ghost world. The other party didn't have the power to directly connect the real world and the ghost world, but they had enough power to bring me there alone, so after I came out of the toilet, I encountered those ghosts.
Fortunately, I was still clever at the time, and I noticed that something was wrong at the first time, and once I ate the human broth stewed in the iron pot, I would definitely be assimilated by those ghosts and become one of them, or I would be unconscious and eaten by them as food.
However, I don't quite agree with Granny Gu's inference, I think those monsters and Changshan ghosts don't seem to want to kill me directly, they seem to want to capture me alive, and take out the hacksaw and axe, it seems that they just want to make me more afraid.
As for the reason, it's very simple, if you want to eat me, there is no difference between dividing the corpse alive and dividing the corpse dead, these monsters are not to retaliate against me, there is no need to divide the corpse alive, I am not a journalist, and I have no deep hatred.
I was trapped in the village of the ghost world, if it weren't for my wit and kicking the window of the bamboo building, so that Granny Gu felt where I was, and she sent out a ghost snake that could enter the ghost world, maybe I would have been captured by those ghosts by now.
Granny Gu's ghost snake is very powerful, it has been carefully raised by her in the past nine years, this ghost snake is used to deal with living people, the effect is actually not big, Granny Gu raised it, mainly because of the accident in Maple Leaf Village, she felt that if there was a ghost snake that could devour ghosts at that time, maybe the villagers of Maple Leaf Village would survive.
Raising ghost snakes is very energy-consuming. It is necessary to find a nest of snake eggs contaminated with yin qi in the cemetery, and after they hatch, let them devour each other like raising Gu, and finally there is only one left, and this snake has the qualification to become a ghost snake.
Next, the snake keeper needs to do an extremely painful thing, which is to extract one of his ribs, burn it into ashes, and for the next year, at midnight every day, mix some ashes with his own blood, and then mix it with the herbs in the secret method, rub it into pills, and feed the ghost snake.
After a year, this ghost snake can communicate with its master, and has the ability to enter the ghost world and devour ghosts. This year is extremely critical, and there can be no interruption for a day, otherwise all the work will be wasted.
This ghost snake is quite difficult to raise. But after cultivation, it is extremely useful, it can communicate with the master's mind, and it can also transform into a body in the ghost world, as long as the master's spiritual power is strong enough, it can become infinitely bigger. There are almost no limits.
The only weakness is that it is strong and abnormal in the ghost world, and its combat power in the face of ghosts is unparalleled, but in reality it is relatively fragile and easy to be killed, which is the final hole card of Gu Po. If it weren't for saving me tonight, she wouldn't have taken out the ghost snake and used it.
Although the ghost snake is exposed, it doesn't affect anything, as long as the spy is pulled out, when the ghost of Changshan and those ghosts come to attack the village. The ghost snake can still kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind.
However, it was not an easy task to find spies among the villagers, because it was too chaotic at the time.
Dinner was made by all the women in the village, and everyone participated in the process of cooking. However, none of the other villagers had stomach troubles, and I was the only one who was poisoned, which means that there is no problem with the food in the pot, and the spy must have poisoned my bowl alone.
Reasoning about it like this. Except for Liao Qingjiang and Feng Tingting, who are closest to me, that is, the aunt who helped me bring me food, may commit a crime.
"There will be no problem with the magpie concubine, she usually treats people so kindly, how can she be a spy?" Feng Tingting immediately objected.
"Tingting!" Granny Gu's face sank: "Now is not the time to rely on feelings, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts." Haven't you heard? ”
Liao Qingjiang saw the grievance on Feng Tingting's face, and opened his mouth to express his support: "Actually, I think the other party has been hidden for so long, it is definitely impossible to expose it so easily, in fact, poisoning is sometimes quite simple, such as when Aunt Magpie comes over with a rice bowl." Someone was passing by, and it was enough to spill the poison into the bowl while she wasn't looking. ”
"Isn't everyone suspicious? So how can we be sure who this spy is hiding among us? Granny Gu frowned.
Liao Qingjiang thought for a while and sighed: "Let me try, I'll try divination to see if I can find out who the other party is." ”
"But aren't you at your limit today?" Feng Tingting said worriedly. In the afternoon, when Liao Qingjiang helped to strengthen the village. I have divined several times, but I am already exhausted by looking for possible loopholes and problems.
"It's okay, I slept just now, I've recovered a lot, I should be fine." Liao Qingjiang said, and took out the copper coins used for divination.
Liao Qingjiang has indeed recovered a lot, but divination is still a little difficult, which can be seen from his breath-holding visualization, and the sweat on his face has been flowing down.
Ten minutes later. After the divination was completed, Liao Qingjiang began to calculate the hexagram, and then, his face became extremely ugly: "What's the matter?" The hexagram says that the person who wanted to murder Ji Zang is dead? Could it be that the fifth master of the snake did it? Or is the other party a ghost at all? ”
As soon as this statement came out. The room was suddenly quiet, and the faces of Gu Mother-in-law and Auntie were also ugly and abnormal, the other party's methods were too weird, how to find out the other party?
At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside the bamboo building. Then there was the sound of banging on the bamboo door and the voice with a crying voice: "Mother-in-law, Aunt Yin, my mother is gone." ”
Someone is missing again?!
My heart couldn't help but jump suddenly: tonight, the long mountain ghost appeared, but I escaped from Shengtian, I originally thought that the other party would retreat. Now that someone is missing, will they be able to escape?
Liao Qingjiang and I hurriedly opened the door, and there was already a crowd of people outside the bamboo building, and it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing in front crying, her eyes were already swollen.
"Mother-in-law, Aunt Yin, please save my mother, she is gone."
Granny Gu and Aunt Gu glanced at each other and asked, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, tell me all the causes and consequences, where did your mother disappear and how long has it been?" ”
"I don't know, my mom was asleep next to me, and when I turned over just now, it was empty. I couldn't find it everywhere, so I hurried over. ”
"Let's go over and have a look." Granny Gu greeted. The aunt hugged her without saying a word, and walked towards the Chase shop together.
Liao Qingjiang and I were also about to go with the crowd, but we saw that Feng Tingting's teeth were chattering. Both legs couldn't move a little, and I couldn't help but be curious: "Tingting, what's wrong?" ”
Tingting replied in a trembling voice, "Xiaoyu...... Xiaoyu is a magpie ......"
