Chapter 3: The Art of Taboos

The decoction is not only strange in color, but even the smell has a faint smell. I sniffed it lightly, and I felt bitter in my stomach and nauseous. What's even more terrifying is that the stench is very similar to the stench of the jar in the cellar, except that the stench in the cellar is more rotten and erosive.

This decoction is not a good thing at all, Luo Dajin is obviously lying to me.

I instinctively took a few steps back: "Uncle, I'm already very obedient. I don't want to...... Like the people in the jar, they become corpses. I don't want to sleep in a jar...... Please, don't force me to drink this decoction. ”

Luo Dajin smiled: "Those dolls didn't survive because the Gu God didn't protect them." Since the Gu God drank your blood, he wouldn't watch you die. Don't worry, I will raise you and won't watch you die. ”

I looked at the hot air coming out of the bowl, and knew very well in my heart that if I didn't drink it obediently, the final result would be that Luo Dajin forced me to drink it, and in order to gain his trust, I couldn't go against his wishes.

I had no choice but to step forward, take the porcelain bowl nervously, and asked, "Uncle, the Gu God drinks my blood...... What kind of god is the Gu God? I've only heard of the land gods, as well as the heavenly thunder mother and the Jade Emperor. Are the Gu Gods more powerful than them? ”

Luo Dajin kept muttering about the Gu God in his mouth, what kind of "monster" it was, I still don't understand.

I had no choice, so I took a deep breath and drank the decoction in one go. Sure enough, a feeling of discomfort came up from my stomach, retched a few times, and vomited a small amount of the decoction, and it took me a while before I was relieved.

Luo Dajin said: "Every profession has a patron god, the craftsman worships Luban, and the teacher worships Confucius." Of course, Gu masters worship Gu gods. The Jade Emperor is ethereal, but the Gu God is real, and I personally selected it......"

I understand the first few sentences, the land god protects the peasants and cultivates the land, and the Gu god must also protect the Gu master and raise the Gu. But why could a Gu master choose his own Gu God? That's weird. I glanced at Luo Dajin and didn't ask any further, to find out the reason for this, I can't be in a hurry now, and I can't let him know my plans.

Every step I take now is walking on thin ice, and it is better to be careful and careful.

Luo Dajin saw that I obediently drank the medicine and did not punish me again. The room where I rested tonight was no longer a rancid cellar, but a clean room, next to Luo Dajin's bedroom. The scary thing is that he can detect every move I make in the room.

The room was very simple, with a bed, a simple table, and a simple wooden cabinet against the wall. Luo Dajin said: "There are clothes in the wooden cabinet, and the clothes on your body are dirty, so change them inside, all of them are children's clothes." ”

I was a little surprised, and I couldn't understand why his temperament had changed so much, and he had suddenly become kind. I soon guessed that he must have thought I was a child, so he used this method to buy and win me over. If this continues, I won't remember my previous identity and become his worm son.

Thinking about this, my antipathy and hatred for him intensified a little.

After Luo Dajin left, I slept on that bed, the quilt smelled a little mildew, but it was acceptable, it was better than crawling a cellar full of bugs.

Under my pillow, I found an old rattle, the paint on the side of the rattle had peeled off a lot, some of the patterns on it had also changed, and the projectiles on both sides had long since disappeared, and it could not be shaken at all.

I couldn't help but think to myself, maybe I wasn't the only one who slept here, and the children who were bought here by traffickers before might have slept in this room. This rattle may have been left behind by one of them.

I subconsciously clenched the rattle, worried that Luo Dajin would hear something unusual, so I put the rattle under the pillow again.

In the middle of the night, my stomach was swollen so badly, I didn't know what was drilling in my stomach, and from time to time there was a sharp pain, and the sheets were soaked with sweat.

I screamed many times in a daze, but I didn't have the strength to sit up from the bed. I vaguely saw Luo Dajin standing beside the bed, rolling a black stone in my abdomen, and began to read some words that I didn't understand.

The whole process lasted several hours, and by daybreak. I was so dehydrated that my lips were cracked. Luo Dajin pried my mouth open, poured a few bowls of water, and then let me fall asleep.

It wasn't until the sun was shining that he came in to see me, with a bowl of porridge and two fried eggs on it.

Luo Dajin said: "Insect son, the medicinal soup you drank contains black flowers, butterfly bones, broken intestine roots, money seeds, and cicada flowers. These herbs are very lethal, and if you survive it, you won't have to suffer so much in the future. ”

I have never heard of any of these Chinese grass names he said, but the name of broken intestine root is not a good name when I hear it. I looked at him with resentment in my eyes, and I wanted to jump up and bite him, but I had no strength in my body, so I could only stare at him with my eyes. If eyes could kill, Luo Dajin would have already broken his body into pieces.

Later, I learned that four of these five medicinal materials are highly poisonous, only Qian Zi is a blending pharmacology, and the reason why Luo Dajin fed me highly poisonous herbs is to let me accumulate toxins in my body and become a legitimate "Gu man", so as to achieve his ulterior secret.

Luo Dajin's left eyelid twitched, and he shouted hideously: "If I see your eyes like this next time, I will break your legs and let you lie down for a few more days!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he put the porridge on the table, turned around and walked out.

I couldn't control my tears, and I flowed down again, and with the last of my strength, I crawled out of bed, crawled down the ground, crawled like a lame dog, and crawled to the edge of the table. When I put my right hand on the table, I accidentally touched the porcelain bowl on the table.

With a bang, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, shattered, and the porridge was splashed on the ground. My tears were falling in a row, ticking to the ground.

I knew I would starve to death if I didn't eat, so I picked up a piece of porcelain, scraped the porridge on the ground, and put it in my mouth. I barely chewed the meat in the porridge, and when I ate it, I swallowed it directly.

I told myself in my heart, Xiao Kang, you have to live, even if you live secretly, you have to live, and only by living can you have a chance. I cried as I ate, thinking back to my previous happy life, and then I really realized that the happy times of the past will never come back.

I was in such a strange place, and I was the only one left to rely on. It may take me a long time to escape from this vast mountain, it may be three years, it may be ten years, it may be a long time, but I firmly believe that one day I will escape, and I will never demonize Luo Dajin's insect son.

After eating some porridge, I regained some strength, rested against the corner of the table, and looked out the window into the distance, a free white cloud fluttering in the wind. One day, I will be as free as that white cloud.

Just then, the sound of an argument came from outside the living room.

I had some strength and quietly stepped aside to eavesdrop. Through the gap, I saw an old man with a black scarf wrapped around his head standing next to Luo Dajin, smoking a dry cigarette and his face was covered with old age spots. If I hadn't seen the earrings on his ears move, I would have thought he was an ordinary old man.

The hanging from his ears were clearly two small black snakes, and from time to time they spit red letters.

The old man in the black scarf said: "No, you can only raise this child as a godson, you can't enter the genealogy of our Luo family, and you can't touch anything related to Gu worms." ”

Luo Dajin sneered: "Uncle Dao, you know my temperament. What I set my mind to do, no one stopped me. His name is Luo Jiu, and he must be in the White Ancestral Hall tonight. If you don't preside, then I'll preside over it myself! ”

The old man in the black scarf widened his eyes angrily, and the cigarette stick knocked on the door panel: "Luo Dajin, Luo Dajin, are you going to break the taboo, do you want to kill everyone?" For so many years, in the entire Miao Jiang Gu Sect, no one has ever been able to successfully raise a Gu person! You can't do it either......"
