Chapter 684: Stone Dragon
It was also from the mouth of this onmyoji that as early as 1936, the Japanese had infiltrated the country and began to search for the secret of immortality.
Fifty years ago, when Xinzhai was built, the weapon box that Gu Po brought out of the secret room had a year written on it, which happened to be 1936. So she suspected that these people who had established towns in the area were part of the advance team sent by Japan in '36.
When she said this, I was also a little shocked in my heart, you must know that I was also present when Zuo Youdao arrested Ashiya Masanobu in Bohai Bay, to be exact, that onmyoji was caught by me with my own hands.
I asked Granny Gu: "Is this group of advance teams also related to Buzhou Mountain?" ”
"I don't know," said Granny Gu, "but some time ago, before I was caught in Hainan, there were indeed people from Buzhou Mountain wandering around, and although they couldn't find this place, they still stayed in the mountains for a long time." I've heard that the people of Buzhou Mountain are also looking for the secret of immortality, and their goal is to enter the Yin Cao to tamper with the book of life and death. Only the Netherworld Treasure can open the ghost door to the Netherworld. ”
I nodded: "In other words, the Japanese advance team that infiltrated the country at the beginning is most likely also looking for the Netherworld Treasure." ”
While saying this, I was also thinking on the other hand, it is said that Taoyuan Township was discovered in the Western Han Dynasty, and since then, no one has found it again, and the Netherworld Tongbao is a product of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems unlikely that it was put into that place.
However, there is another possibility, that is, Yuan Tiangang did find that place and put the treasure of Netherworld Pass into it, but this matter has not been known to outsiders.
You must know that Yuan Tiangang's attainments in divination, even if he can't be said to be the first person in the ages, is not much worse. With his ability, it is very likely that he can deduce the specific location of Taoyuan Township.
Granny Gu interrupted my thoughts: "On the other side of the mountain, there is also an old cottage, and some strange things have happened there recently. ”
I looked up at her, "What's weird?" ”
Granny Gu pursed the corners of her mouth and shook her head: "It's hard to tell you clearly, you'd better go over and take a look for yourself." I suspect that what happened in that village is probably related to Taoyuan Township. ”
Without further ado, I was going to leave immediately, and as soon as I stood up, Granny Gu waved her hand at me: "Don't rush yet, you still need to make some preparations before going there." ”
After speaking, Granny Gu turned her head and asked Lao Wen again: "In the inheritance of the corpse chaser, there should also be some Gu solving techniques, right?" ”
Lao Wen nodded: "Our vein usually uses cinnabar and talismans to solve Gu, and the techniques are not as exquisite as those of Gu masters. ”
Granny Gu asked Qing Yazi again: "What about you, you also have a little bit of research on Gu arts, right?" I remember that when he was young, he stayed in Miaojiang for a while, and many local veterans even exchanged inheritances with him. ”
Qing Yazi smiled slightly: "I know some Gu techniques, but they are all fur kung fu." ”
Granny Gu bowed slightly, and then fell into deep thought.
At this time, I was also wondering why Granny Gu only let Qing Yazi and Lao Wen and me come in, but left the others outside.
After a brief round of thinking, I soon understood what was going on, it seems that Granny Gu has made up her mind, once I find the entrance to Taoyuan Township, I can only take Qingyazi and Lao Wen to investigate, that place is a forbidden place for Gu masters after all, Lao Jiang can't enter, Li Huaishan and a few of them are too poor in cultivation, Taoyuan Township is dangerous and weird, rashly take them in, I may not be able to protect them thoroughly.
After a long time, Granny Gu said to the girl named Lin'er, "Take the skink." ”
It was also because Granny Gu was talking to this girl that I glanced at her.
The girl's family looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and tall, with a very handsome face, but her complexion is as white as paper, which seems to be the reason for not seeing sunlight all year round, she wears a red round-necked cardigan, and her head and body are covered with the unique silver jewelry of the Miao family, which glows brightly under the light.
There is a difference between men and women, and it is not a matter for me to keep staring at others, so after a short glance, I looked away.
Later, the girl entered a small room on the west side of the house, and when she came out, I heard a crisp ringing bell, and I was curious, and I couldn't help but look at her.
At this time, I found that she was barefoot, the pair of slender soles were very clean, clean as white paper, in fact, the room was not clean, especially the ground, there was a lot of dust, but these dirty things seemed to deliberately avoid her, when she walked, there was no dust at her feet, a pair of feet were still as clean as ever, I subconsciously glanced at her soles twice, and found that there were no calluses on it.
Generally speaking, people who are used to playing barefoot have very thick calluses on the soles of their feet.
In addition, on the girl's left ankle, there is also a string of silver bells, and the small bells are made by them. I didn't hear the bell when she was walking before, so I guess the silver bell must have been tied after she entered the Westinghouse.
Later, when I took my eyes off the girl, I turned my head and met Granny Gu.
Granny Gu looked at me with an incomprehensible smile on her face, and I politely replied with a smile, just as Granny Gu asked me, "How is it, our family Lin Erjun right?" ”
I didn't reply, Qingyazi grinned and replied, "Jun." ”
Granny Gu may also feel a little bored, frowned, and reached out to take a burden from Lin'er's hand.
The bag was boxy, wrapped in a layer of batik blue and white cloth on the outside, and it should be a box inside.
Granny Gu carefully untied the blue and white cloth, revealing a silver square box in the baggage, and then she lifted the lid of the box and took out three palm-sized bags.
"This is the sachet I made the night before, and the herbs in it can restrain the poison of skink." As she spoke, she handed the bag to Lao Wen, who kept one for himself and divided the other two between me and Qingyazi.
I picked up the bag and smelled it, and it smelled of rosemary, mixed with a hint of bitterness.
"You three come here." At this time, Granny Gu beckoned to us, Lao Wen immediately got up and walked to her, and Qingyazi and I also came over one by one.
Standing beside the ancient mother-in-law, you can clearly see the contents of the silver box, that is, a pile of dried lizards, slender, long, dry and shriveled, each lizard is dark throughout, with only a faint white pattern attached to the center of the back.
Just now, the ancient mother-in-law kept mentioning the word skink, in fact, the so-called skink is a lizard, and some people also call this thing a four-legged snake.
Granny Gu asked Lao Wen to stretch out her palm, and then took out a dried lizard and put it in Lao Wen's hand, and leaned down to blow at the shriveled lizard.
Originally, I thought that these lizards had already died, but I didn't expect Granny Gu to blow it up in one breath, and the lizard on Lao Wen's palm came to life all of a sudden, it first swelled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if someone had injected air into its body, and when the whole body became plump, it quickly moved four little feet and drilled into Lao Wen's cuffs.
Lao Wen was startled, and hurriedly shook his arm, trying to throw the lizard out, but Granny Gu immediately stopped: "Don't shake it around, as long as the skink is on your body, the Gu things in this area won't be able to hurt you." ”
Lao Wen seemed to be quite afraid of that thing, and desperately grabbed two handfuls on his back, probably a skink crawling down the cuffs to his back.
After a while, Lao Wen shook his clothes again, and asked Granny Gu with a frightened face: "Where did that thing go?" How could I not feel it? ”
Granny Gu smiled and said, "These little things are shy, it's hidden, and it deliberately doesn't let you feel it." ”
Qing Yazi took the initiative to stretch out her hand in front of Granny Gu, and didn't forget to joke with Lao Wen: "Isn't it just a four-legged snake, and you are so nervous like this?" ”
Lao Wen pursed his lips: "As soon as I see these slippery things, I feel uncomfortable. ”
Qingyazi got a skink, and the ancient mother-in-law grabbed my hand again, and put the third skink on my hand, in fact, I originally wanted to say that I didn't need this thing, mainly because I saw this kind of slippery and slippery thing, and I was also annoyed, but I couldn't bear the fast movement of the ancient mother-in-law, and before I could speak, the skink had already fallen in my palm.
This skink was bigger than the old Wen and Qingyazi combined, and its limbs were very thick, and it looked as if it had undergone some kind of mutation.
As soon as it reached my hand, it became agitated, and it didn't care to burrow into my cuffs, but twisted and turned around in the palm of my hand, stopping from time to time to look up at Granny Gu.
Granny Gu looked a little surprised: "This skink, but it's a big Gu that I raised, I didn't expect it to be so afraid of you." ”
I returned the skink to my mother-in-law: "The poison in my body is fierce, and when ordinary poisons see me, they will instinctively be afraid." Give it back to you, I don't need it, and there are sachets. ”
As I spoke, I returned the sachet along with it.
Granny Gu put the two things back into the silver box, and said with a smile: "It's not that ordinary poisons are afraid of you, but the poisons in this world can't get close to you." Last time I was in Hainan, you said that you were not afraid of iron corpse poison, I thought you were talking big, but when I looked at it today, you really didn't lie to me. ”
After speaking, she pulled Lin'er in front of me again, and asked me with a smile: "The poison on your body shouldn't hurt the living, right?" ”
I don't know why, I always feel that Granny Gu is weird today, and she always seems to want to shift my attention to the girl named Lin'er.
This is troublesome, I specially brought Lao Wen and them here to find the Netherworld Tongbao, but Granny Gu's mind seems to have been off the line, which is really panicking.
