Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cow
After a moment of silence, I saw a faint look of horror on the village chief's countenance.
After a while, the village chief stomped his feet hatefully, and then led us all the way in the direction of Niuzi's house.
On the way to catch the car, my eyes would always unconsciously peek into the rearview mirror to peek at the village chief's face.
I only found that the village chief's expression has been stiff since he heard the words from my mouth.
Although I don't know exactly why the village chief is in such a state, the cold sweat on his forehead tells me how strong the panic is in his heart at the moment.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the door of Niu Zi's house, and before I even entered the house, I could already smell a very familiar smell of corpses.
This corpse breath was what I smelled on Lu Yu before, and now that it has appeared in this place again, I think my previous guess should not be wrong.
"Village chief, you wait here, if I haven't come out for an hour, you can flee quickly, and inform the people in the village to close their doors and windows, and don't come out no matter what you hear." After a slight reminder to the village chief, I grabbed Ke Meng's palm tightly and walked slowly to the house in front of me with heavy steps.
Recently, Niuzi's house was originally going to be rebuilt, but because of the incident of the green-haired female corpse, this renovation was shelved.
Therefore, although the exterior wall of today's Niuzi house has collapsed in half, the internal house is still intact.
However, I still haven't figured out why the village chief's expression suddenly changes drastically when I mention the cow.
Could it be that the village chief already knew that something was wrong with the cow?
And at this moment, the most important thing for me is to find the cow first, so I didn't think much about the strangeness of the village chief.
When I entered the house, I saw that it was a mess, as if it had just experienced a war between the two countries.
The furniture fell to the ground in a messy manner, and the sheets of paper that should have been neatly placed were now spread on the ground in an orderly manner.
And in this messy environment, I can faintly hear bursts of strange sobbing.
The voice came from a back room not far away, very low, and mixed with a faint weirdness.
Come to think of it, this sound should be made by the cow who had been in contact with Lu Yu at the beginning.
With that in mind, I did not delay any longer, but hurried to the door that led to the back room.
The palm of his hand slightly grasped the handle of the door, and gradually pushed the door open with a gentle force.
I saw that the moment the door opened, a figure covered in green hair immediately appeared in Ke Meng's line of sight through the crack in the door.
This figure was crouching in the corner with his back to the door, and above his strange palm, he was holding a pair of tooth extraction pliers.
"What is he going to do?" Seeing that the cow in the corner was in such a strange state, Ke Meng, who was standing next to me, put a surprised look on his face and whispered to my ear.
"Shhhhh As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a cow not far away, and handed the iron tongs in his hand to his head.
A shrill howl came out of the cow's mouth, and then a black fang, stained with dark green blood, appeared abruptly at the tip of the pincers.
"Ke Meng, you see, this kid is going to pull out his fangs, think about it, if he has been completely ossified into Lu Yu's puppet now, will he be so stupid? Hmph, if I hadn't guessed, this kid should still have human sanity by now. I casually explained a few words to Ke Meng beside me, and I slowly pushed open the door and walked into the room in front of me.
The cow, who was not far away, seemed to hear the sound of the door being opened, so he jumped up with a panicked face, and barked on a mouth full of sharp fangs, and roared in the direction of the door.
"Niuzi, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm here to save you, I know that you may have inhaled Lu Yu's corpse qi now, and wanting to suck human blood is something you can't control. However, don't be impulsive just yet, I can help you solve your problems. "It seemed that the cow was trying to attack me, so I hurriedly stopped it with words.
From the behavior of Niu Zi just now, I can deduce that his sanity must still exist, otherwise he would never be stupid to pull out his attack "weapon".
"You, can you really help me?" Sure enough, after hearing my words, Niu Zi's expression suddenly became a little relaxed, and then he looked at me not far away with a sad face, and immediately asked eagerly in a dull voice.
"That's right, I'm a Priest Heavenly Master, and it's really fitting to deal with what happened to you." After that, I pointed to the chair behind Niu Zi and immediately reminded: "Don't be nervous now, I will never come near you until I am uncertain." Please also sit on that chair by yourself and do not act rashly. ”
Hearing this, Niu Zi looked at the chair next to him with his red and green eyes, and then jumped slightly, and it was extremely easy to fall from the air to the chair surface.
Ke Meng and I stood near the door, so that we could not only keep a relatively safe distance from Niuzi.
It can also be the first time to grab the door when the cow is out of control.
"Okay, Niuzi, I want you to tell me now, how did you inhale the corpse qi in Lu Yu's body, you must tell me everything in 1510, otherwise, I can't do anything." Seeing that Niuzi's state was quite stable at the moment, I hurriedly expressed the doubts in my heart.
After all, the direct consequences of active inhalation of corpses and passive infiltration of corpse qi are completely different. Moreover, there is an essential difference in the methods of these two situations, so now I must first understand the situation of the cow.
"I, my house was supposed to be rebuilt, but I accidentally bumped into the big locust tree, and found the female corpse covered with green fluff under the big locust tree. I, a person who has been soft-hearted since I was a child, felt that my heart was full of guilt when I saw the female corpse so embarrassed, so I planned to send it to the ancestral hall and find someone to surpass its soul before burying it. At this point, Niuzi's expression suddenly became weird.
After being sent to the ancestral hall, I knelt alone in front of the female corpse and recited some words of blessing and prayer for it, but the moment I caught a glimpse of the green-haired female corpse, I suddenly saw the terrifying bright red eyes of the female corpse. In order not to frighten others with its eyes, I boldly went to the female corpse and closed its eyes together with my hands. As the words blurted out, Niuzi's expression became strangely panicked.
"Did you see anything strange the moment you closed its eyes?" At this moment, I had already heard the key point of the words, so I asked eagerly.
"The moment I closed its eyes, I saw a green smoke drifting out of the mouth of the female corpse, and I happened to be at the head of the female corpse at that time, so the green smoke followed my breath all the way into my body." After that, Niu Zi hatefully threw the pliers in his hand on the table beside him.
"At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but that night, my expression suddenly became trance-like. And I could clearly see that above my fingers, there was a strange black armor, and the same green fluff as the female corpse. The most hateful thing is the sharp fangs that are born in my mouth. At this point, Niu Zi could no longer hold back the frustration in his heart, and suddenly cried out.
"Ever since the fangs appeared, I had an inexplicable need for blood, and my whole being was out of control at that time. So I traveled alone in the middle of the night and sucked all the blood of the livestock in the village. Tears oozed from the corners of the cow's eyes, and fell to the ground through the strange green fluff.
"After sucking the blood of livestock, it didn't satisfy my need for blood, so I was ready to turn to humans when I was out of control. But at this moment, the sun rose, and after being exposed to the sun, my expression suddenly returned to normal, but my body also showed burns because of the sun. Pointing to the pliers on the table next to him, Niu Zi said with a wry smile: "After I regained my senses, in order to avoid going out to hurt people again, I was ruthless and wanted to pull out my fangs." ”
After listening to Niu Zi's account, I was able to roughly determine his situation.
For a person like him who actively inhales corpse qi, the diffusion of corpses in the body will be relatively slow, and this situation is relatively easy to deal with.
"Niuzi, you wait here quietly, I asked my friend to go out to the village chief immediately and ask him to bring some tools, so that I can help you expel the corpse qi from your body." As I spoke, I handed Ke Meng a note with a short line of font written on it: Ke Meng, stay outside the door, I feel that the village chief is not quite right, you hurry up and look at him.
After seeing the font on the note, Ke Meng nodded slowly at me, and then turned around and left the room.
As for me, a person slowly walked to Niu Zi's side and whispered to him: "Niu Zi, don't be nervous, I'll help you stabilize your soul now, and when your expression becomes trance, I will find a way to suck out the corpse qi in your body, I don't know if you can trust me." ”
"Anyway, I'm going to die horizontally and vertically, so it's better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor." After that, Niu Zi smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and slowly lay down on the bed paper beside him.
"Since you believe in me so much, then I naturally can't let you down, don't worry, I will do my best." With that, I put a soul-calming rune on the cow's forehead, and after seeing that the cow's expression was stable, I began to suck the corpse qi.
