Chapter 84: See the Black Hand Again
"Tian Li, take my horsewhip, I'm going to kill this son of a scumbag today!"
"Old Yan, what's the use of you beating him to death now? Still trying to figure out how to get things back. β
"Uncle, Auntie is right, let's think about how to make amends now."
Under the persuasion of his wife and nephew, Yan Cunhua suppressed his anger, pointed at Yan Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said fiercely:
"I'm not going to move you for now! If the soul flute can't be found, I will definitely slaughter you and sacrifice to my Yan family's ancestors! β
Yan Xi was so frightened that his face was bloodless and trembling, it was the first time he had seen his father get so angry.
Tian Li hurriedly went over and said, "Ah Xi, you quickly explain to your father honestly, who is that boss?" β
Yan Xi shook his head and cried, "I don't know his identity either, I saw him once, and it was through the curtain." Listening to his voice, it should be a middle-aged man, andγAnd ......"
"And what? Say it quickly! Tian Li was more anxious than anyone else, he was really afraid that Yan Cunhua would be angry for a while and beat his precious son to death.
Yan Xi continued: "He doesn't seem to be from our Chinese, because he speaks Mandarin with a very strong Southeast Asian accent. β
Southeast Asia? Nanyang!
Lin Chu's heart trembled suddenly.
Originally, this was a matter of the Yan family, and it was difficult for him to be an outsider.
So I listened quietly and didn't speak.
But when I heard Yan Xi frankly admitting that his boss instructed him, it was very likely that he was from the open sea.
Lin Chu unconsciously remembered two other things related to "Nanyang".
Chu Li'er, the eldest lady of the Chu family, was assassinated and poisoned by Nanyang Gu in her body.
The ancient tomb of Baiyan Township was ransacked, and the intruder used Nanyang Gu worms to kill the tomb guard.
Now there is another boss from Nanyang who has seized the Yan clan's heirloom Soul Suppression Flute.
So Lin Chu couldn't help but ask: "What did that boss say to you, where did you meet, and who else were there at the scene?" β
Yan Xi looked at Lin Chu indifferently and was silent.
Yan Cunhua ordered: "Answer Lin Gongzi's question!" β
Yan Xi then told the details of the day's situation.
The details of the time and place of his meeting with that boss do not have any valuable clues.
But Yan Xi finally said a detail that Lin Chu attached great importance to.
He said: "The boss gave me a small bottle with a strange worm in it, and he said that if I was in any danger while I was taking the flute, I would pour out the worm in the bottle so that I could save the day." β
Bottles, Strange Worms......
An extremely vivid Chinese character immediately appeared in Lin Chu's mind - Gu!
He immediately asked, "Did you use it?" β
Yan Xi shook his head: "The process of taking the flute was extremely smooth, and nothing unusual happened in the whole process, so I didn't use it." β
Lin Chu continued to ask: "What about the bottle and the worm?" β
Yan Xi honestly confessed that he went to the city to hand over the Soul Flute to the middleman and came back, thinking that it was useless to keep this strange worm, but it was still a evidence, so he dug a pit in his yard and buried it.
Lin Chu asked the location and immediately planned to dig it out.
Hu said: "Brother, you wait, I'll help you get it back." β
Lin Chu shook his head: "No, it's a very dangerous item, or I'll go in person." β
Hu Lai didn't worry about Lin Chu alone, so he also followed.
Lin Chu took the small hoe given by Yan Cunhua, came to Yan Xi's yard behind, and dug out a delicate small white porcelain bottle from under the garden rockery, which could be easily held in the palm of his hand with one hand.
He gently lifted the cap of the bottle and opened a small slit, and saw a sleeping worm curled up at the bottom of the bottle.
At first glance, it looks like a thousand-legged horse, which is a millipede as a folk saying, but it has wings, poisonous horns on its head, and poisonous fangs in its mouth, and it is very violent.
Hu Lai asked curiously: "Why does this insect look so strange?" It's as if it's a mixture of several bugs. β
Lin Chu closed the lid and walked back while introducing:
"This is a Gu worm, and it should be the Devouring Gu in the Gu worm, that is, the Gu raised by the method of devouring. Every time it devours a poisonous insect, it grows the characteristics of that poisonous insect. β
"Those who devour one poisonous insect are called one turn, and those who devour two poisonous insects are called two turns, and so on, the highest is nine turns devouring Gu."
"I see that this Gu worm has about five kinds of poisonous insect characteristics, so it should be a five-turn devouring Gu with a thousand-legged horse and a land as its main worm."
Hu Lai looked at Lin Chu in amazement: "Brother, are you really a college student who has just graduated?" How do you know so many crooked ways? β
Lin Chu said helplessly: "If one day you are like me, life is suddenly like a door of bad luck has been opened, and strange things are encountered all day long, and your life is like a plastic bag hanging on the branches of a stormy tree, I believe you will definitely find a way to become self-taught and become an expert." β
Hu Lai complained: "Don't say it, since I met you, every time I am with you, I have encountered those things." You see, we met for the first time in an old building, entangled with female ghosts; met for the second time in Baisha Township, entangled with zombies; This is the third time, but I hit a ghost on the road, and now I have to entangle with these mountain spirits and wild monsters when I am in Yan Village......"
For the fact that he often affects his friends around him, Lin Chuchu is also very self-blaming.
Hu Lai changed his words at this time: "But what does it matter!" If we brothers are brothers, we should share weal and woe! β
Lin Chuchu was very relieved that he had relatives and friends like Xu Minghao, Hu Lai, and Ah Guang around him, maybe it was a blessing that he had cultivated in his previous life.
As they spoke, the two of them had already returned to the lobby of the front yard.
Ever since he dug up this precious Five-Turn Devouring Gu in Yan Xi's garden, Lin Chu had basically determined that the black hand of this Yan Village incident was that guy again.
From the South Seas, with Gu masters......
If it weren't for him, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.
That black hand wants to poison the eldest lady of the Chu family, rob the emperor zombie of the sealed town in Baiyan Township, and now want to seize the heirloom of the Yan family, the Town Soul Flute.
Lin Chu really didn't know what he wanted to do.
In order to figure out the motives of this black hand, Lin Chu felt that the first thing to figure out was what kind of artifact the Soul Suppression Flute was.
He had been very curious about this question before.
At that time, he felt that Yan Cunhua would say it himself.
But now he couldn't wait for Yan Cunhua to speak by himself, as soon as he returned to the hall, he asked in person:
"Patriarch, although I am an outsider, I am also a good friend of Ah Guang, and now you Yan Village is in trouble, even Ah Guang is in trouble, I can't sit idly by. If you can trust me, please tell the Soul Flute and your Yan Family Ancient Building, and I will try my best to help you. β
Yan Cunhua heard that Lin Chu took the initiative to help.
Of course, he couldn't ask for it.
After all, he had already seen Lin Chu's skills tonight, if it weren't for the various methods and magic weapons provided by Lin Chu, his home would have become a ghost nest long ago.
So he thanked Lin Chu very excitedly: "Lin Gongzi, if you can help us, it would be great!" β
"Patriarch, let's save time and talk about things directly."
"Good! If you want to talk about the Yan family's ancient building, first of all, we have to talk about the reason why our Yan family moved west......"
Yan Cunhua told that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian iron cavalry waved its troops south, burning, killing and looting.
The Yan clan was originally a prominent clan in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the moment of national crisis, their ancestors resolutely threw themselves into the struggle against the rebellion.
The Yan family suffered heavy losses, but also achieved extremely impressive results, a little-known young man of the Yan family beheaded the former general of the Mongol expedition to the Song Dynasty, and cut off his head and brought it back.
This young man, who was from a humble background in the Yan clan at that time, later became the founder of Yan Village.
The national fortunes of the Song Dynasty have ended, and after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court went around to arrest and persecute the civil forces that participated in the anti-Mongolian resistance, and also offered a heavy reward for the head of the Mongolian general, even if it was just a dry bone, as long as it was completely integrated with the neck bone of the body, regardless of the reason, the reward was 10,000 taels, and the official was added to the knighthood.
At that time, the young man had grown into a young man, and he was not bewitched by glory and wealth, but took the remaining clansmen and the head away from his homeland in the south of the Yangtze River and went to the southwest mountains to avoid trouble and live in seclusion.
However, at that time, the head of the Mongol general underwent a mutation.
