Chapter Ninety-Six: Attracting Worm Gu
According to Zhen Rui's own guess, he believes that these seven lamps are likely to come from Han culture, because the information shows that the earth ghost clan is a self-enclosed people, using the 'mirror world' made by the yin and yang fox to block outsiders.
Therefore, these seven lamps cannot be found by the ghost king himself, the greater possibility is that they come from some Han people who want to get close to this place, of course, the Han people are only a relatively large possibility, at that time in Guidi, there are some ethnic minorities, it may also come from them, after all, it is not written in the silk book, and it is difficult to verify after a long time.
The Earth Ghost King got seven lamps, but only used the last one, which was the magic lamp. There is no indication in the silk book about the method of using the magic lamp, and it seems that it was deliberately ignored, but after using the magic lamp, the earth ghost king suddenly died. At that time, no one knew what was going on, so they could only build an underground palace for the ghost king in confusion and bury him at the back of the group tomb, which is the most honorable position in the clan.
But on the night of the coffin, there was a sudden abnormal sound in the coffin, and then the lid of the coffin was suddenly pushed open, and the ghost king crawled out of the coffin.
I saw the earth ghost king at this time, seven heads were congested and purple, the muscles of the whole body were bulging, and he crawled out of the coffin little by little, everywhere he went, all the people who approached were torn to pieces, and everyone scattered and fled, fleeing outside, but saw dark clouds covering the sun, lightning and thunder, like the thunder god descending into the world, the heavy rain poured down, and it could not be stopped, landslides, mudslides, landslides, trees collapsed, mountains and rocks rolled down, in various disasters, the earth ghost clan was almost in a desperate situation, and in this desperate situation, there was a bigger devil fighting, he climbed out of the coffin, Ru Mao drank blood, slaughtering, invulnerable, seven heads staring at the people around them, let out a quacking laugh.
This self-styled and self-contained nation has almost ushered in a catastrophe without anyone knowing.
At this time, the prestige elder of the clan said: "Legend has it that there is a Bao Gong in the Song Dynasty, who can travel to the ghost mansion at night and drive the ghosts and gods. So he sent people to move the bag to help.
This record is not much different from the origin of the Soul Suppression Dream Knife that Zhen Rui said. But it was said that after going back and forth, when the rescuers returned to this place, the earth ghost clan had already been annihilated in natural disasters and killings, and only the ghost king of the land was still wandering in the underground palace, smelling the breath of the living, so he came out to make trouble.
At this time, Bao Gong had already obtained the Soul Suppression Dream Knife, so he suppressed it with a knife, resealed the Earth Ghost King into the coffin, and put the Soul Soul Wandering Knife into it in order to prevent the Earth Ghost King from waking up again. He also said: There is a ghost king first, and it is known that the seven lamps are not gods, but demon lamps, and the demon lamps are in the world, but they are afraid of endless troubles, so they are also buried together.
As for the countless zongzi in the burial pit that my grandfather saw back then, as well as the white cloth mummies outside, they were actually all people from the earth ghost clan who were killed by the earth ghost king.
Immediately afterwards, put in the insect incense stone, these insects are a kind of Gu, the world only knows that the Miao people are good at Gu, in fact, Guidi is full of worms, and it is also a place where the art of raising Gu is popular, but it is not as famous as Miao Gu. There are no burial objects in the entire underground palace, and these organs and poisonous Gu are naturally to deal with tomb robbers, but this purpose is different. Others deal with tomb robbers in order to protect the tomb owner's tomb and protect the corpse and burial goods inside, but the organs set up in this place are all to prevent tomb robbers from entering the underground palace and opening the coffin.
Because, once the coffin is opened, or the Soul Suppression Dream Knife is taken away, the Earth Ghost King inside will wake up immediately.
And this silk book is the last barrier of the ghost king, the purpose is to hope that those tomb robbers with great ability, if they really enter the coffin, open the coffin, hope that after reading the content of the silk book, they can give up opening the coffin and leave quickly.
When everyone heard this, they were already dumbfounded, and Tofu was even more surprised that his tongue was curled, and he stammered: "In other words...... The zongzi in this coffin, he is a live zongzi? ”
Gu Wenmin was sitting next to me at this time, she looked a little weak from the gunshot wound, and said: "The coffin inside is still sealed, it seems that Mr. Chen did not open the coffin after reading the silk book." ”
Tofu said: "But...... But if we don't open the coffin, we can't seem to get out...... Hey, wait, there's another important thing......" Tofu's expression changed suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked Zhen Rui, saying, "Tuhao, take a closer look, is there anything else recorded on it?" ”
Zhen Rui said lukewarmly: "What else do you want to record?" ”
Tofu swallowed, pointed at me and himself, and said, "Poisonous Gu! Lao Chen and I both ate it, what kind of Gu is this, will I be like in the TV series, the internal organs have been gnawed off, or the seven holes are bleeding or something? Damn, that's horrible. "I also chuckled in my heart, and said in my heart that although I don't know if the poisonous Gu technique is as magical as the legend, but just because these little insects can thrive in a piece of insect incense stone for more than a thousand years, I know that the Tao is not simple, if there is really something, then how can it be good?
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but look at Zhen Rui, things have happened, it's useless to be anxious, I sat in place, didn't jump my feet in a hurry like tofu, and listened to Zhen Rui say: "It is said to be called 'Insect Attraction Gu', which will not have any effect here, but those things that are eaten will emit a taste, which will attract many other insects to enter, and in the end, the body will be occupied by various insects." ”
Tofu shuddered and stammered, "If I close my mouth, those bugs can still get in?" Zhen Rui didn't speak, Zhong Gong was Zhen Rui's mouthpiece, so he continued: "For example, there are a lot of insect eggs, which are invisible to the naked eye, and when you eat, maybe your rice is already covered with insect eggs...... Or when you take a bath, there will be a lot of invisible insects in the water, they will be attracted by the smell, they will gather around you, there will always be a way to enter your body, and then multiply, until they eat you inside...... This is an extreme form of punishment. ”
After Zhong Gong finished speaking, Tofu sat on the ground in fright, unable to say a word.
Although I felt scared in my heart, I was calmer than Tofu, and soon thought of a clue, saying, "Since you know the Tao so clearly, is there a way to deal with it?" ”
Zhong Gong pointed to the silk book and said: "Yes, it is recorded that when the coffin cover is closed, within half an hour, the insect Gu will secrete a substance to block the cracks of the coffin cover. But the nemesis of this substance is corpse oil, and people who carry this substance will produce abnormalities once they come into contact with corpse oil, making the worm Gu attack faster. ”
I immediately understood, in this way, if we wanted to unravel the worm Gu, we couldn't move the corpse of the Earth Ghost King. But we have no interest in the corpse of the Earth Ghost King, and if it weren't for the fact that my grandfather could return to normal and leave this place, I would have given up my later actions when I met him.
When Tofu heard this, he immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, close the lid of the coffin." ”
Gu Da Meinu didn't speak, but at this time, she suddenly opened her mouth and said softly: "You said, the corpse lying on the coffin before, could it be that he closed the coffin?" Maybe he's going to take that substance too? ”
Tofu immediately nodded in agreement and said, "There are no wounds on the corpse, so he died, I was still wondering what it was before, but now it seems that the Eight Achievements are like this." However, this man seems to have had bad luck and did not succeed, and died. ”
Before, we saw that the coffin was tightly sealed, and thought it was sealed, and when the coffin was opened, some fine substances similar to cinnabar could also be seen in the cracks, and now it seems that those materials, Bacheng, were what the corpse wanted to collect at that time, but then something happened and he died here.
The moment I closed the lid of the coffin, I felt as if a gust of wind was blowing behind my neck, but when I turned around, there was nothing behind me.
I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly thought of the formless and insubstantial, but existed here.
It is not mentioned in the silk book, so what is it?
It could have killed us all before, but at the last moment, it suddenly made me look behind and found the coffin in front of me. As soon as I told everyone about this speculation, Tofu was stunned, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What do you mean...... He's already awake? Want to borrow our power to measure it? ”
"Quite possibly." Gu Wenmin said softly.
Tofu said: "Then what to do now?" ”
I said, "Collect those things first, and then thirty-six counts, and go for the upper plan." ”
Tofu looked at the open vermilion tomb door, although he didn't speak, I still saw his thoughts, and his eyes were saying, "Are we still going out?"
That thing can control us to commit suicide at any time, and even do all kinds of things, once we stop opening the coffin, will everything return to the way it was before?
