Chapter 166: Grass Ghost Woman
The fat man's trick worked, and the bugs stopped not far from him, not daring to come closer.
Occasionally, a few of them rushed into the fire without fear of death, and they were also burned to ashes.
The gray master painted a scoop according to the gourd, and also lit a corpse, shouting: "This place is not suitable for a long time, you should run out quickly!" ”
"Man Qiang, let's go!"
I shouted, pulled Man Qiang and ran out.
The bugs under the feet were trampled on the ground and "poof" and soon, a sticky juice penetrated the shoes, and the feet felt slimy.
Bugs crawled on top of me and burrowed into my clothes, and a tingling itch spread all over my body, making people feel like they were scratching all over my body.
We sprinted through the corpse pile at a speed of 100 meters, and the fat man and the gray man also came out, and the gray man was at the end, and after coming out, it ignited the entire corpse pile, and the tongue of fire kept running up to the top of the cave, cutting off the retreat of the insects that chased us inside.
But this did not solve the crisis, there are still a lot of insects in the tunnel, a big scorpion took advantage of the chaos to climb on my arm, the scorpion tail needle is as thick as a matchstick, and the gesture pierced my arm, I screamed, I beat it out just wanted to run, the ankle suddenly cooled, and when I looked down, a spotted snake was wrapping around my foot and neck and crawling up......
The snake's body was cold, and the numbness brought by crawling directly made my legs weak, and helplessly, I shouted: "Gray master, save me!" ”
The gray master glanced at me, sighed, bent down and tore the snake off his feet, threw it against the wall, and then picked me up with one hand and Man Qiang with the other, and sprang out of the passage with a few ups and downs, and then turned back and carried the fat man out.
The fat man and Man Qiang had dull expressions, and they seemed to come out in ignorance.
I glared at the gray master and asked, "Master, what do you mean, you can easily bring us out, why do you want us to fight insects in fear?" ”
Gray Ye's eyes rolled, and he was happy: "I originally wanted you to exercise your skills and courage." Xu Daochang told me before leaving, and I will give you more opportunities to exercise. ”
I'm all over my head, is this a workout? It's playing with my little life!
I felt something was wrong just now, how could a thousand-year-old demon see a bunch of bugs and be so scared that he was so scared?
The fat man also eased up at this time, looked at the gray master with a look of adoration, and asked with a shy face: "Master, what kind of kung fu are you?" Running so fast, you have time to teach me. ”
I was speechless for a while, you ran away with the rat spirit, isn't this nonsense!
The insects here don't know how many years they've been hungry, and they chase after us when they smell our scent, like an old dog that smells meat buns, chasing after them.
We didn't say anything more, just turned around and ran towards the stone steps, I didn't want to stay in this place for a second.
I was at the front, just a few steps up, when suddenly a flashlight shone down on my face.
"Who?"
I stopped abruptly, blocking the light with one hand, clenching the bone sword with the other, and shouted sharply.
But I wondered in my heart, how could anyone come to this hellish place? Could it be that the murderer is here?
The man didn't speak, and the flashlight moved to the side and continued to walk down.
I stared at him nervously until I could see his face clearly, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
It's the poker face cop, how did he get here?
"Let's go, the bugs are catching up!" The fat man who fell behind suddenly stopped when he saw me and screamed.
I raised my feet and tried to continue to go up, but the poker face didn't mean to give way at all, and I continued to go down unhurriedly.
"There's a lot of bugs down there!" I say.
"I know." The poker face is understated, as if it knows everything about the situation here.
With that, he raised his hand and sprinkled the ash of grass and wood powder on our faces, and at the same time, a foul smell diffused.
"Phew! Bah! Bah! What's that? Inexplicably sprinkled with ashes, I took three sips in a row, a little angry: "What are you doing?" ”
"Squeak ......"
Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of insects behind me, and when I looked down, the insects that were chasing after us turned around and fled like a great enemy, and disappeared from our sight in an instant.
I was amazed and asked, "What kind of insect repellent powder are you sprinkling?" ”
Poker Face shook his head, turned to the person behind him and said, "Granny Cao, they are scared of this medicinal powder, it seems that you really said it." ”
Actually, I had noticed a man behind him, but the man was so short that he was so tightly blocked by the face of the playing cards that I couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.
At this moment, the playing card face turned around, and I saw a dry old lady through the gap beside him.
The old lady was about seventy years old, with a wrinkled face, a dark blue cardigan, and a small black hat, dressed as a standard rural old lady.
However, the poker face can bring her all the way here, this old lady should not be simple, listening to the tone of his voice, he is still full of respect for her, not to mention the meaning of his words, those insect repellent powder was given to him by this old lady.
Who is this old lady?
Could it be a Gu girl in the Miao Jiang area?
Only the women who raise Gu there will be called "grass ghost women".
Poker face calls her a grass mother, could it be that she is really a grass ghost woman?
I stared at Granny Grass and pondered, and she suddenly raised her head, staring at me with a pair of red eyes, which scared me aback.
"Hey, hey! The lad scared you, didn't he? Granny Grass grinned twice, and her face was full of wrinkles like a ball of dried orange peels.
I pretended to be calm and shook my head again and again, but I understood in my heart that the identity of this mother-in-law was really guessed by me.
There are a lot of people in Miao Jiang who can raise Gu and Gu Xia, but most of them are fake grass ghost women who are in trouble, they just know some fur and raise some simple Gu.
There are two extremely obvious characteristics on the real grass ghost woman, one is that her eyes are as red as cinnabar. Second, there are red, green, green and yellow stripes on the abdomen, arms, and back.
Although I can't see the stripes on this grass mother-in-law, I can basically determine her identity based on these red eyes.
What is the poker face doing here with this grass ghost woman? Could it be that there are Gu here? Or that big bunch of bugs just now were all Gu worms? The insect controller guessed by the gray master before was actually wrong?
Thinking like this, I was shocked into a cold sweat, this thing is very evil, we ran away from the worms just now, could it be that we have already been hit by Gu?
"Are you going up?" The poker face looked at me, and he moved to the side, making way for me to hurry up.
"No, no, the bugs are already gone, and I want to go down and have a look."
My goddamn curiosity......
