Chapter 37: The Taoist Priest Who Tracked Down
I exclaimed, "What? The Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely poisonous, you want me to swallow it! "Although the golden silkworm accepts my blood, it is still a poisonous Gu worm, swallowing it directly, wouldn't it be poisoned alive by it.
The black skeleton man snorted coldly: "Xiao Kang, do you think I look like a joke?" You pretend it's something you want to eat and swallow it in one go. I will not harm you, and if it drinks your blood, it will not poison you. ”
I looked at the Golden Silkworm Gu, it looked greasy and greasy, and its body was chubby, no matter how I looked at it, it wasn't what I wanted to eat. I shook my head: "Sir, can you not eat it, it looks disgusting." ”
The black skeleton man stepped forward directly, pinched my mouth, picked up the golden silkworm with the other hand, and said, "You hurry up and get smaller, and change a warm place for you to sleep." ”
After the Golden Silkworm Gu was pinched by the Black Skullman, it didn't resist, and it really became a lot smaller. I grabbed the two stones beside me with both hands, my eyes widened, and it was impossible for my mouth to close, so I watched the Golden Silkworm Gu burrow into my mouth.
I only feel that my mouth is oily, and I feel slippery, and my throat is still squeezed. The Black Skull closed my mouth and slapped it my Heavenly Spirit Cover. The Golden Silkworm Gu slid down my throat, and I didn't feel it, and I didn't know where it went.
The black skeleton man let go of me: "With the Golden Silkworm Town, the mysterious Gu worm in your body won't be able to make any waves." As for you, you can't die for the time being, but...... Hey hey ......"
I heard the strange laughter and hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
The Black Skull Man smiled: "But this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it's like a tiger in your body, biting you every day, making you worse off than dead." Now put one more tiger in it, and the two tigers fight, and you won't be in danger for the time being. ”
I secretly thought, probably only like this, the mysterious Gu worm will attack again, I will whine, arrange a golden silkworm for it to enter, and the two tigers will fight, and they will forget me for the time being.
I asked, "What happens when they are decided?" ”
The Black Skeleton Man shook his head: "I don't know who wins and who loses yet. If the Golden Silkworm loses, the mysterious Gu worm will kill you; If the Golden Silkworm wins, if you have any way to tame it, it will also make you uncomfortable! ”
Listening to the meaning of the black skeleton, I was a little confused, but one thing I understand, I am not in danger of my life for the time being, what will happen in the future, leave it until later and slowly figure out a way.
I clutched my stomach and tried to feel where the golden silkworm was, but there was nothing strange about my stomach. But after swallowing the golden silkworm, a feeling of exhaustion welled up, and I yawned and fell asleep against the stone.
The Black Skull Man was quite interested, teaching Xiao Feng on the side, how to fight, how to breathe, and how to train his strength. I woke up several times in a row, and I saw the two of them gesturing.
I didn't sleep well, and I had strange dreams about big scorpions, and I dreamed of fat golden silkworms, and I stood in the middle of them, looking extraordinarily small. My fate is in their hands.
I woke up after daylight.
The bonfire was burning brightly, Xiao Feng stood beside me, already asleep, and the black skeleton man sat cross-legged, his black trench coat pressed under his legs, closing his eyes to recuperate, and occasionally a faint spitting sound could be heard. The Black Skeleton Man has only bones left, and is supposed to be one of the zombies.
Both of them rest during the day and are active at night, no wonder the two of them were alive and well last night, and it seems that I need to adjust my schedule and be consistent with them.
I suddenly remembered that I had swallowed the Golden Silkworm Gu last night, and I was busy touching my stomach and checking my arm, but there was nothing unusual, and the black mark that was still on my arm before had disappeared overnight. It seems that the golden silkworm didn't do anything to me.
After I recovered some strength, my body bones were no longer in pain last night, I got up and moved my muscles and bones, looked at the Luo Doudou Spirit Position lying on the ground, and saw that it was covered with dust, and the blood I spit on it, so I was ready to go to the cave entrance to wash.
I picked up Luo Doudou's spiritual position and walked towards the entrance of the cave, the water flow of the waterfall at this moment was even greater than when I came, it should be caused by the temperature rising and the snow melting.
I was going to wash directly with the waterfall, but the water flow was so fast that it would wash away the spirit seat if I wasn't careful. I walked out of the waterfall along the path at the exit, and found that the place where the waterfall fell was a small lake, the small lake was surrounded by stones, and there were large trees nearby, and the snow was constantly falling, and the sun was shining, and the lake reflected a dazzling light.
I hadn't seen the sun in days, and I was in a good mood, so I couldn't help but stretch. I went to the water's edge and wiped the spiritual position with water, but there were a few places where the blood stains were so dry that I couldn't get rid of the blood stains by wiping it hard.
I had to go to the nearby woods to get some dry thatch, mix it together, and use it as a brush. I laughed in my heart: "Lord Luo Doudou, if you know anything underground, don't blame me for brushing your spiritual position with thatch." It is limited to find a clean rag. ”
I wiped it vigorously a few times, and the front side was clean and reflected in the sun, and then I wiped the back. When my Gu worm attacked, it rolled on the ground and inadvertently turned over the spirit position, and there were more blood stains on the back.
It was the season when the snow melted, my hands were so cold that I couldn't do it, so I was busy snorting a few hot breaths into my mouth, and then wiped the blood on the back of the spiritual seat, and wiped it back and forth for more than ten minutes, and finally washed the blood stains clean.
I lay on the stones to dry so that the rain would not damage the wood, and I sat by the water to bask in the sun, occasionally picking up some stones and making a splash on the surface of the water to pass the time.
At noon, when the sun moves, I turn the spiritual position over so that the back side can also receive sun exposure. The front and back of the spiritual seat are painted with anti-odor black lacquer, which is very smooth and somewhat reflective. Just as I was turning the spiritual table, the sun shone on it, and something magical happened.
The light reflected the scorpion pattern in the flowing water of the waterfall. The scorpion seemed to be able to move, full of vitality. I can conclude that it was formed by the scorpion projected in the water on the opposite side of the spiritual position.
In the pattern projected by the remnant scorpion, there is a faint line, twisting and turning, like a mountain range; There is also a thin interlaced line, like a river. The scorpion projection faintly resembles the terrain of a place.
The remnants of the scorpion were hiding here, and I almost jumped with excitement.
I was secretly surprised in my heart, who would have thought that the secret of the pattern behind the spiritual position would be so hidden. The front looks like a scorpion and needs to be reflected by light to show the topographic map.
I thought to myself, Luo Doudou's spiritual position is very likely to be made by himself, and the secret is also hidden by himself. The spiritual seat is placed on the shrine, there will be no sun exposure, and the incense ash and paper ash will be covered with the surface, which forms a protective layer. If there is no destined person, it is absolutely impossible to discover the secret of the remnant scorpion pattern.
If it weren't for my Gu poison attack last night and I vomited blood on it, I wouldn't have taken it out and washed it with water. If it weren't for the sun after the snow today, the sun was shining brightly, and the secret behind it would not have been discovered.
How can I not be excited? I couldn't wait to run into the cave and share this great discovery with the Black Skeleton and Xiao Feng, and I suppressed my inner urge to think that they were still sleeping.
At that moment, I suddenly heard something strange coming from the woods. I hurriedly put away the spiritual seat and held it in my arms, for fear that someone would snatch it away. I saw two people coming from a distance, wearing gray Taoist robes, and their clothes were very strange.
When I was in Xiaojia Town, I saw someone wearing this kind of similar clothes, and it was a Taoist priest who specialized in making a dojo for the dead, and it seems that these two people were Taoist priests. The two of them came quickly, their feet were covered with mud, and their robes were torn in a few places.
Two Taoist priests stood a few meters away, and I sat on the stone, looking at them uneasily. They are one old and one young, the old Taoist priest may be in his sixties, and the little Taoist priest may be a year or two older than me.
The old Taoist priest asked, "Doll, why did you come here in this barren mountain and wild mountains?" ”
I couldn't tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy, so I lied: "I went out with Abba to collect medicine, and he went to the south to collect medicine." I didn't want to leave, so I sat here to rest, and when he had finished collecting the medicine, he would come here to pick me up. ”
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that you live in the village near here, have you seen a strange person recently?" There was no flesh all over the body, only bones, and it was pitch black, which was very recognizable. ”
I thought to myself, isn't this the Black Skull? What is the old Taoist priest doing with the Black Skull, there will be no good things.
I shook my head like a rattle: "Old man, you're talking about zombies, why are you saying such things in broad daylight to scare me." My Abba also said that he would scare me with zombies. I'm here alone, why are you deliberately scaring me. ”
The little Taoist priest laughed: "Master, you are a coward. Let's look elsewhere, the black skeleton man has a violent temperament, and we who are Taoist priests should eliminate the demon and kill the zombie. Taoist priests and zombies are incompatible. ”
Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this old man and a young Taoist priest did not chat with the skeleton man to talk about friendship, but came to kill the skeleton man. The Black Skeletons saved my life, and I can't let them do it.
The old Taoist priest smiled at me: "Doll, you are really an innocent child. It's a pity that you can't fool the poor way. You have the smell of that black skull, tell me, where is he hiding now! ”
