Chapter Fifty-Four: Snake Mo
After I finished speaking, Tan Jian didn't sarcastically mock me anymore, but frowned and said, "You mean to give up?" ”
I said, "Give up." ”
Tan Jian sneered and said, "Have you forgotten what our office does?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Looking for someone." ”
Tan Jian pointed at Wang Zehai and said, "Not only looking for people, but also looking for corpses." Then he said: "If this matter can't be solved, what prestige will my boss have in the future, and I will let you see it tonight." Zhou Xuanye on the side just smiled and didn't accept my suggestion to go back.
Although Tan Jian said this very awesomely, I knew that if it was really that easy, he and Zhou Xuanye would not have left directly at the beginning. I was about to persuade Tan Jian not to be angry for a while, but Zhou Xuanye put his hand on my shoulder and said in a low voice: "This is not only for your conscience, but also for our own conscience. ”
The two of us looked at each other, looking at his determined eyes, I knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so I didn't speak again, but looked at Han Xu who was bouncing around, and said, "It's okay for us to go, but we can't let them take risks." "This one of them naturally refers to the three of Han Xu.
Wang Zehai is obese and slow, Han Zitong is a woman, and his physical strength is a little weak, and Han Xu is about the same as a five or six-year-old child.
When Zhou Xuanye heard this, he smiled and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks. Do you know what those things are? He was obviously talking about those roots, and I shook my head, and my heart moved, and I asked, "Do you know?" I thought it was some new carnivorous plant. ”
Zhou Xuanye shook his head and said, "It's indeed a carnivorous plant, but it's not necessarily a new variety." There is a "Ancient and Modern Miscellaneous Records Volume" in my teacher's school, in which a similar plant is recorded in the chapter on sacred objects, called 'Snake Mo'. ”
"Snake Mo?" It's too much of a name.
"Hmm.' Snake Mo's sex likes yin, multi-born and underground or lurking in the shade of vegetation, retreating when encountering sunlight, coming out when encountering moonlight, moving when encountering fire, knowing the temperature and walking. ”
I couldn't help but sigh, "How can there be such a strange plant." ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "The world is full of wonders. This 'snake mo' is only recorded in legends, and it is said to be the companion of the snake demon, and where there is a snake mo, there must be a snake demon. ”
Wang Zehai was also listening to the conversation, and was surprised when he heard this: "Snake demon? Are there really youkai in the world? ”
Zhou Xuanye shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's recorded in the book, but I haven't seen it, who knows." ”
Han Zitong was a little nervous and said, "The black python we met can't be a snake demon, right?" ”
Tan Jian said lukewarmly: "If it is a snake demon, the three of us can still live until now?" ”
Zhou Xuanye took over the conversation, shook the searchlight in his hand, and said: "This is just a record in an ancient book, the ancients knew a limited amount, and some records are inevitably exaggerated, and they cannot be trusted. However, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, as long as you know the weakness of this snake, everything will be much easier. "The reason why Zhou Xuanye and the three of them fled in embarrassment was just because they were caught off guard, but now, he calmed down and figured out the way of the snake, and he had a countermeasure in his heart.
He said to us, "The serpent is afraid of the sun, but he is not afraid of the fire." Yang is the essence of heaven and earth; Fire, the spirit of the earth; If I'm not mistaken, Han Xu is a dragon, right? Han Zitong was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "The dragon qi is upright in heaven and earth, as expected, Snake Mo should not be interested in him." Let's give it a try when we get to the place in a while, and if we guess correctly, we will let Han Xu go on our behalf. As he spoke, he pulled something out of his fanny pack.
The thing was in a small black cloth bag, it was a triangular folded rune paper, this rune was different from the yellow rune paper I had seen before, it was vermilion all over, and the runes were yellow, and it looked very conspicuous.
Zhou Xuanye pinched the rune paper and said, "Just throw this rune paper into that hole in the ground, and leave everything to me for the rest." ”
Han Zitong's eyes were full of suspicion, and he said, "It's that simple? "Actually, I don't know if she suspects, I also suspect in my heart, although I have seen the skills of Zhou Xuanye and the others, but if you want to get a corpse out of the snake's belly, you can really use this rune paper to get it?
When Tan Jian heard this, he said coldly: "This is the 'séance', I haven't been willing to use it for seven years, and if I use it here today, she will not die unjustly." "This name sounds a little familiar to me, and after thinking about it carefully, Tang Linlin seems to have mentioned this thing.
At that time, I chatted with her and asked her how Tan Jian and the others were looking for the dead, whether it was like the corpse chaser on TV, walking in front with a bell, and the corpse jumping in the back.
Tang Linlin touched her little chin at that time and said: "It's almost, but the corpse can't jump, with the jumping corpse, that is the only thing that the 'corpse refiner' with low Taoism does, and the 'corpse refiner' with high Taoism, when walking the corpse, the corpse is like a living person, except that it can't speak, it can't breathe, and the rest of it is indispensable to walk, sit and lie down." ”
I was very surprised when I heard it, and asked her, "Brother Zhou is among the corpse refiners, is he powerful or not powerful?" ”
Tang Linlin spread her hands and said, "How do I know this, the corpse refining sect is almost lost, and there is no comparison object." However, I know that Zhou Xuanye has a 'séance talisman' there, and I heard that it is a cow, and when the rune moves, the ancestor sends the spirit, and it is not a problem to walk the corpse for thousands of miles. In this way, it is about a great thing. "The so-called thousand-mile walking corpse refers to the instantaneous transportation of the corpse to a far away location through a séance.
This sounds like a fantasy, in fact, alchemy is actually a technique summarized by ancient alchemists according to the principle of corpse transformation.
The corpse of the corpse is called the hairy corpse, and above the hairy corpse, there are drought and kuiba, these belong to the legendary high-level corpse, the corpse can fly to the sky and the earth, and travel thousands of miles a day.
And the function of that séance talisman is to invite the ancestor of the corpse refining vein to come, so that the corpse will appear for a short period of 'top corpse transformation', and it has the ability to pull out the drought fish. At that time, Tang Linlin just mentioned it in passing, and she didn't know it herself, so I only had such a general impression, but I also knew that the séance talisman was a very powerful thing.
For a while, I couldn't help but stare closely at the runic paper on Zhou Xuanye's fingers.
As Tan Jian said, this thing has been on Zhou Xuanye for seven years and has not been willing to use it, which is very precious and rare.
Han Zitong was still a little skeptical, or rather, although she felt guilty, she didn't want Han Xu to take risks, so she said: "Is there any other way, I'm worried about Xiao Xu's ......" She didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was obvious.
Zhou Xuanye was slightly silent, and after a moment, he said in a low voice: "You are his guardian, you can make a decision." However, time is running out, and if we want the body to be well preserved, we had better try it as soon as possible. "When I heard that the food that a python eats in its stomach, the bones will break due to squeezing, and my heart is heavy when I think about that situation.
Han Zitong didn't say anything, on the verge of hesitation, but at this moment, Han Xu jumped up and down and said: "Xiao Xu wants to help, Xiao Xu wants to throw the talisman ......" The scene of a big guy selling cuteness really makes people want to poke themselves in the eyes.
Zhou Xuanye struck while the iron was hot when he heard this, and said, "Let Han Xu try it first, if the snake Mo has signs of attack, then we can only give up." ”
When Han Zitong heard this, he could only nod his head, and said uneasily: "Even if the snake Mo doesn't attack Xiao Xu, what about those snakes?" ”
Wang Zehai immediately said: "We have snake repellent medicine, but I didn't know there were snakes before, so I didn't take it out." As he spoke, he took out a plastic bag from his bag, which contained yellow balls the size of a dragon's eye, the main raw material of this thing is sulfur, the taste is very pungent, and it can be very effective in avoiding insects and snakes when placed in the pocket.
While speaking, Wang Zehai tore open the plastic bag, put the pills in Han Xu's pockets, and muttered: "Put more and smoke them to death." ”
After doing all this, everyone had no scruples and quickly walked to the dangerous area.
We stopped, Zhou Xuanye handed the searchlight to Han Xu, and carefully instructed him what to do next, and said it very clearly. Actually, it's not difficult, it's just to throw the rune paper into that snake hole.
