Chapter 12: Speechless

"Okay, Mo Lan, I'll promise you this time." Chunlan sighed, and her expression relaxed. "Since you're here, let's stay here first, but doesn't he need to witness the process of planting orchid Gu with his own eyes?"

Mo Lan glanced at me, then asked me again with some hesitation. "Willow Springs? You? ”

At this time, curiosity had already occupied my body, and I hadn't seen the process of planting Gu, so naturally I didn't want to miss it, so I nodded firmly.

"Then you swear now that you'll never tell you what you've seen here." Chunlan slowly walked in front of me, and then stared at me with burning eyes.

I don't like to talk much, and even if I don't swear to other people's secrets, I will definitely keep them secret for her, and since she asked me to swear, I will do it.

"I swear ......"

"Wait." Chunlan interrupted me abruptly, and then took out a box from behind me, it was a very ordinary-looking wooden box, without any decorative texture. "Please squint your eyes and swear by holding this box, saying that I swear that if I leak what I have seen and heard here, I will be willing to accept the punishment of the pandan clan."

I looked at this box again, the dull wood, rough processing, it really doesn't look special, I've seen many clans will swear by a clansman's token, some are totems, some are human bones, but what kind of road is this small box?

"Sister, this ......" Mo Lan glanced at the small box, and a trace of nervousness flashed in her eyes. Otherwise, I'll send you out of Liuquan, you can wait for us outside the valley for a while, or you can drive my car to Lijiang......"

Mo Lan's words aroused my desire greatly, and I began to wonder if they thought I was cowardly or could not see the big scene, so they tried to dissuade me in such a way, and the more I did this, the more I could not leave there.

"It's okay, I swear." I took the small box, closed my eyes and began to recite the vows. "I swear that if I leak what I see and hear here, I will be willing to accept the punishment of the pandan clan."

I'm sure I'll keep it a secret for them, but to be honest, this kind of ritual is really a bit stupid, if a person really doesn't keep his word, what's the use of just a poisonous oath? Is it really cursed?

Suddenly, I felt a strange smell permeating me, and I looked down and sniffed it carefully, the reason why this smell was strange was that it was a faint fragrance, but there was a burning and rotting smell hidden in the fragrance. The smell was like a puff of dust that broke into my nose and mouth, like an anesthetic that made my whole body limp

I opened my eyes suddenly, frightened by the sight before me, the little box was opened at some point, and under the lid lay a red and bloody thing, which looked like a piece of flesh and a rotten tongue, and made the person who watched it tumble in his abdomen for a moment.

"This! What is it? In a hurry, my body was no longer obedient, and the small box slid down from my palm, and Pandan caught it at once, and then immediately fastened the lid.

As soon as I spoke, I felt a tingling pain in my throat, and my vocal cords were so swollen that I couldn't help but cough dryly, but the pain intensified, and there was a strong smell of blood in my mouth

"Liu Quan, drink some water." Mo Lan hurriedly handed me a bamboo cup, which was full of clear spring water, I couldn't care so much at this time, and drank all the water in the cup, this cup of water did relieve the pain after drinking, but the body was still soft and weak.

I collapsed to the ground and began to gasp weakly. "Mo Lan, what the hell is going on?"

Mo Lan shook her head helplessly, and then looked at me with a little guilt. "I hurt you, my sister planted Gu for you just now."

"Gu!" When I heard that, I felt as if I had fallen into hell, and all my thoughts were lost.

"Of course it's not an orchid Gu, it's another kind of Gu that has entered the WTO, called a Broken Tongue Gu." Mo Lan helped me up. "The survival period of this Gu is five years, and you must not tell anyone what happened today within five years, otherwise your tongue will rot."

I came here to accompany Xiao Yin, but Xiao Yin didn't do well, but I was planted with such a vicious Gu first, and I wanted to die at this moment.

"I will keep my promise, why do you do this to me? Don't you even have the most basic trust? I roared, but then regretted it, for now I had to push my mouth a little harder to get hurt.

"It's not that we don't believe you." Chunlan suddenly spoke. "It's that the power of this Gu is much more effective than a man's promise, if you really keep your promise, what difference does it make to you if you don't plant this Gu?"

"You!" I never expected that Chunlan was so beautiful, but her heart was as vicious as a snake and scorpion.

"Liu Quan, I'm sorry, I hurt you, don't quarrel with your sister anymore, otherwise she will plant you more terrifying Gu, all Gu sisters in this world will plant." Mo Lan helped me to the stone bench beside me, and then gently massaged my throat, her fingers were cold, like a piece of ice on my body, and the pain quickly dissipated.

"My sister was deceived by one of your human men before, so she wants to give you a trick just in case." Mo Lan whispered softly in my ear. "Liu Quan, don't blame her, it's all my fault, I think you are very sincere and have a good impression of you, so I brought you here to let you see my family, I didn't expect it to be like this."

I sighed deeply. "Forget it, I definitely won't leak the secret anyway, so whether there is this Gu or not is indeed as your sister said, it doesn't matter."

"Thank you, it's good that you understand, the affairs of our Xianglan clan really can't be understood by the world, otherwise there will be big trouble." Mo Lan looked at me sincerely and told me again and again. "Liu Quan, after today, not only will you not be able to say these things, but you will also be able to write them, as long as you let anyone except you know about it, you will be poisoned by Gu."

I nodded feebly, now like a hunted prey, life or death is not a choice for me.

There was a scene in Xiao Yin's eyes just now, he stood aside in a panic, his lips twitched, and the sketchbook in his hand was scattered all over the ground. "Willow Springs...... This...... Is this Gu? ”

Xianglan slowly walked to Xiao Yin's side and looked at him with contemptuous eyes. "Son of Orchid, you still have a choice now, how can you turn around and leave if you are afraid of Orchid Gu."

"I ......"

"I want to remind you that this orchid Gu is a thousand times more terrifying than the wordless Gu that you just planted on your friend."

Xiao Yin is usually very calm and doesn't like to panic when he encounters problems, but at this moment, I can clearly see that his legs are trembling, which is more like a survival performance of resisting death.

Because I think he himself knows that if it is as good as Mo Lan described, then Orchid Gu is equivalent to death. 10
