Chapter 29: Secrets
The old man smiled, poured me a cup of tea unhurriedly, and did not answer my question, but asked, "Who gave you this jade pendant?" ”
Seeing the old man ask about the jade pendant, I had some doubts in my heart, but I also said truthfully: "This jade pendant is my sister's belongings, she left it at home when she traveled far away, and I will keep it for a while." ”
"Your sister's? Do you still have what your sister gave you? The old man continued.
I frowned, but I didn't really want to answer this question, this belongs to **, the first time we met, if it weren't for the jade pendant in his hand, I wouldn't even say the origin of the jade pendant, my sister also gave me a dog tooth pendant, but I didn't plan to tell him.
The old man seemed to see my thoughts, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I won't take your things, I don't think you are the same as the others in the village, it is because the things your sister gave you saved you, and this jade pendant has no such effect, so I suspect that you should have other things on you." ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, my heart suddenly chuckled, what do you mean by this? That dogtooth pendant saved me?
The old man saw the confusion on my face, and he said directly: "Okay, you can take these two things back, today is the Midyear Festival, whether you can spend today safely depends on your creation." ”
"Old man, I want to know why this village is"
Before I finished speaking, the old man interrupted me directly, and he said: "Okay, I can't say too much about this village, I heard that you are going to fight hard in the ring with people at noon?" ”
"Yes, there is a bit of a grudge that needs to be settled." I gritted my teeth and said, my eyes glued to the bǐ shǒu.
The old man looked at me, shook his head and said, "If the opponent is stronger than you, it is useless to count on bǐ shǒu, if bǐ shǒu is taken away, you will only die faster." ”
"Well, I know, but if it weren't for bǐ shǒu, I wouldn't have any chance of winning." I said it categorically.
The old man nodded, "The young man is good, very brave, do you still have the green glass bottle that Meng Yao gave you last time?" ”
"Where are you? Old man, is this thing so magical? I took out the glass bottle with the green liquid from my pocket and said, when Meng Yao gave me this thing before, she said that it would be fine as long as it was applied on your hands and touched the skin on Qiu Wu's body, I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that the old man mentioned it again, I paid attention to it.
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "Well, yes, those men have been poisoned, and this thing can directly induce dú sù, making people very slow to react, and he will definitely not be able to beat you at that time." ”
I rubbed myself up from my chair: "Poisoned? What's going on? The old man said so, didn't I get poisoned? ”
The old man hummed and said, "Have you ever heard of a cocktail (qu two sou, three saudis)." ”
"No, that's something!"
The old man explained to me with a heavy face, it turned out that this cockroach is an omnivorous animal, also called the ear clipworm, which is said to burrow into the human ear, cut off the human cranial nerves, so that the host can not feel threatened. The female cricket, which lays eggs, attaches itself to the human body through its chela.
At midnight, when a person is asleep, the earwig crawls into the ear and burrows into the brain. The cockroach then carefully cuts the human cranial nerve, leaving the poor host undetectable. It lays thousands of eggs, and after four days, the larvae hatch and feed on the soft brain tissue, by which point the host has gone completely mad and eventually dies in horror.
"Holy! Really? And such a horrible bug? So all these poisoned people are dead? "I was shocked and said, this kind of thing is really unheard of, this indiscriminate burning of the village is really unscrupulous, and such a vicious method can be used.
"Hehe, this bug does have it, but what I said just now is just a rumor, it's not that scary, but this kind of bug does like to drill small holes to lay eggs, so using this characteristic, some Gu masters have refined the ear clip worm into something called the Ear Clip Water Gu, this kind of Gu is raised in water, and after being drunk, the effect is actually the same, if you don't solve the Gu in time, you won't live for four days." The old man said lightly.
"Water?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, I instantly remembered the water tank in Cao Ruoqi's bedroom, as well as the water tank in the center of Huó Dòng.
I hurriedly asked, "I saw a water tank in Cao Ruoqi's room, will the frog water Gu you said be placed in the water tank?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"That's over, I'll drink the water too!" I sat back on the stool and said with a pale face, if I was given another chance, even if I was given 10 million, I would definitely not come to this hellish place.
The old man looked at my panicked expression, smiled and said, "Don't worry, your poison has been cured, because you didn't have sex with anyone last night." ”
"How?"
"This kind of Cockroach Water Gu is refined according to the characteristics of the Burning Village, so it requires constant special mating to be activated, and if it does not mate with the woman in the Burning Village within twelve hours, the Cockroach Water Gu will automatically die." The old man said.
I've heard of this thing, but it's only heard, as far as I'm concerned, I don't believe in this thing, but this old man is saying it in this way now, I can't help but believe it.
"May I ask the old man, what are the characteristics of the indiscriminate burning village? What is the intersection of particularities? I quickly asked.
The old man smiled, did not answer my question, just smiled and said: "Hehe, I can't say these things for the time being, if I do, I will also be very dangerous, all I can tell you is the ones just now, if you are still alive after tonight's sacrifice huó dòng, come to me again, now take your things and go." Remember, the two things your sister gave you are both good things, and the mirror on the back of the jade pendant is not an ordinary thing. ”
Seeing that the old man stopped, I didn't ask any more, but his words made me feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, and I knew that this chaotic burning of the village was not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. As for what the old man said my sister gave me, of course I will keep it well.
"Okay, thank you for the old man's advice, Shen Wang retired." I bowed respectfully, put away the token and bǐ shǒu, and turned to leave the room.
"Well, the young man is good, Xiao knows enough, then I will tell you three more little news." The old man's voice came again, and I stopped, and turned my head to look at the old man gratefully.
"First, the other thing your sister gave you, as long as you carry it with you, even if you drink the water with the Cockroach Water Gu and have sex with the woman in the village, there will be no danger. Second, you can't beat the other person to death in the ring at noon. Third, don't try to run away, if you do, you won't have any way out. The old man said lightly.
I hummed, nodded, and bowed respectfully to the old man again, then turned and exited the room.
This trip was definitely not in vain, and when I looked at a village built on the upper slope, I had a fear of the unknown, even if the old man gave me some advice, but he still didn't tell me how to escape the sacrificial huó dòng, which seemed to be on my own. As for the truth of the old man's words, I did not doubt it, and he had no reason to fool me.
It turned out that there was a problem with the water in this village, no wonder when I wanted to drink water for the first time before, Cao Ruotong called me loudly, and then let me drink it, maybe she still had a little affection for me at that time, but it was only a little bit, and now, it is estimated that there is no affection at all. In that case, I have no reason to like her anymore.
Too many things have happened in the past two days, and what I regret the most is Lin Ling, and I am now sure that he came here for a purpose, but I don't know what his purpose is, if I know, I want to help him complete it.
Then I laughed at myself again, I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself.
Standing on the stone steps for a while, I didn't know where I was going now, I turned my head and looked at Cao Ruoqi's house, I really don't want to go again. Then he turned his head to look at the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, which was also empty, except for Qiu Wu, who was hanging under the big locust tree, everyone else should be nested in the center of Huó Dòng.
Raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock, and in two hours, I would go to the ring with Lei Hao to settle the grievances.
