Chapter 15: The Secret of the Demon Mansion (Part II)
"Uh......, it's disgusting." Hu San scolded.
"What do you think this pot is for?"
"Raising worms." He was sure of it.
"yes, then why is there a fire underneath, I thought it was going to be boiled and eaten."
"Don't be so disgusting, you don't have to eat." After Hu San finished speaking, he vomited, and then explained to me: "This is a kind of witchcraft, and it is also a method of raising Gu,"
"How do you understand this?"
"If you want to say that these evil sects are crooked, we Taoists are disdainful, but I still understand something, I have only heard the master say it a few times," Speaking of this, Hu San sighed again, "Alas, if only his old man was here, I would not be hurt like this." ”
This Hu Sankou keeps saying that he is a Taoist, but in addition to his kung fu is not bad, I don't see what Taoism he knows. However, there are indeed a lot of monastic books from Master, but I am too lazy and have not read them seriously, so I will have to study them carefully when I have time in the future.
I looked at the pile of worms on the ground, black and like a hill, and I didn't know if I was dead or alive. I walked over and kicked them carefully, but they didn't move.
"Are these dead?" I pointed to the pile of worms and asked Hu San.
"It shouldn't be dead," Hu San walked over, "It is said that there is a kind of witchcraft, called boiling insects, which uses a certain spell to adapt the insect to high temperatures, and then makes it lay eggs in a special liquid, so that the born insects will mutate when they grow up." But this process must be cast and must not be interrupted, otherwise the progress will be lost. I've also seen it once in a while, but I don't know much about the details. ”
Saying that, Hu San squatted down and carefully observed the worms on the ground: "Maybe it's because the old monster ran away, so these guys are wilted, even if they don't die for the time being, it is estimated that they won't live long." ”
"Did you bring a fire?"
"What?" Hu San looked at me suspiciously.
"Burn them to death! What if you live! ”
Hu San touched his body, and sure enough, he found a lighter, he rarely smokes, but the lighter never leaves his body.
I looked around and needed to find some firewood, otherwise I wouldn't be able to burn it. There was still some chopped firewood next to the stove pit under the four pots, and he took a handful and put it on the side of the worm pile. I easily lit the firewood, and when the fire grew bigger, I kicked the fire at the worms. In an instant, like a firecracker, it crackled, and the fire became bigger and bigger, but I didn't expect these insects to be lit so easily.
Soon the flames turned red and black, emitting a choking smell, but not a stench, just like the smell of those dead worms on the Tianqing Mountain, but this time it was much stronger.
Hu San avoided Lao Yuan and covered his nose and watched, although I also felt very uncomfortable, but I was not like him.
This pile is solved, what to do in the pot, you must know that the ones in the pot will still move. I looked back at the pot again.
"Throw the fire in the pot!" Hu San shouted from afar.
I looked at him and questioned.
Hu San walked towards me and said, "If I guessed correctly, that liquid is also flammable. ”
This kid knows so much, I'm going to be skeptical. Pick up a burning log from the fire and throw it into the pot. Suddenly, a meter-high flame burst up, and a wave of heat rushed around, roasting my face hot. Good guy, it's faster than gasoline burns, I secretly admire Hu San, don't look at him playing games every day, I didn't expect him to understand this. I gave Hu San a thumbs up, and he smiled slightly, looking a little proud.
In the same way, we set all four pots on fire, and although the fire was very large, it burned quickly, and in a short time the contents were burned completely, and there was no ash left. Seeing that these things were solved, I let out a sigh of relief.
I was just a little relaxed in my heart, and suddenly I remembered the python-sized worm I encountered in Tianqing Mountain. However, what we saw in this courtyard seemed to be grasshopper larvae. Are those big guys still in Tianqingshan, I feel faintly uneasy when I think of this.
As soon as I said the worries in my heart, Hu San also showed a sad face, and then sighed: "We are not saviors, and we can't manage so much." ”
Of course, what he said was true, but it was a bit difficult to let me know that there was such a thing that harmed others, and let me let it go.
"Why don't we go back and report to the officer?"
"That's called the police!" Hu San corrected: "Do you think they can believe it when you tell them that there are insects like pythons?" He paused again and said, "When we find Master, everything will be easy to do, and such a small matter can be easily handled by Master." ”
I often hear Hu San say how powerful Master is, but I haven't been with Master for a long time, and he hasn't taught me a single trick and a half, so I really can't imagine what Master's ability is. I only know that Master's knowledge is very deep, and there is almost nothing he does not understand.
Although I am also more interested in those so-called techniques, I am far less interested in martial arts. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my biggest dream is to become the strongest person in the martial arts world, but I didn't expect to come to this world now and encounter such a strange thing. It seems that sometimes no matter how high the martial arts are, not all enemies can deal with them, and those worms in Tianqing Mountain are examples. I secretly resolved that if I found a master, I would learn more from him about dealing with these evil ways.
I looked at the low houses and said to Hu San, "Let's see what's inside!" After saying that, I slowly touched it, and when I got closer, I found that there were four small windows in the room, and the strange thing was that there was a layer of black things pasted on the windows, and when I touched it with my hand, it felt like paper. Why is there a layer of black paper on the windows?
"Hey, be careful." Hu San reminded in the back.
I nodded, walked over to the door, and said that the door didn't actually have a door, just a jamb. The probe looked inside, but there was still nothing to see, as if there was a deep nothingness inside, and everything was swallowed up by darkness.
I lit the lighter, but the light of the fire only illuminated a small area, and I still couldn't see anything. Hu San's broken lighter doesn't know if it's running out of steam, and the light is not much bigger than a soybean grain.
I was about to take a step in, when suddenly a beam of light came from behind me, and then someone pulled my clothes hard, and when I looked back, it was Hu San, who was holding a small flashlight in his hand and shining it into the room.
"Why didn't you take it out earlier when you brought a flashlight?"
Hu San didn't answer me but pointed to the ground inside the door with a frightened face, I looked down, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and my heart beat suddenly. I saw that the bottom of the threshold turned out to be empty, and I don't know how deep. Good fellow, if you kick it off, you might have an accident. Although there is light power in the body, but the use of light power must be carried out in advance, and the effect of using it in unexpected situations is very small, at least I have not reached that state.
"Tell you to be careful, you don't listen." Hu San complained: "It seems to be very deep below. He shone his flashlight under the threshold and muttered quietly.
