Chapter 168: People are the Champion
Seeing the panicked appearance of the three of us, the grass ghost woman comforted us: "Don't be afraid, it's all a little trick, my wife will give you something, and you'll be fine if you eat it." ”
As she spoke, she took out a small white porcelain bottle from her pocket, like a snuff bottle, and poured out three small black pills from it, one for each of us.
I don't know what material this thing is, it's not big, the smell is not small, and a stinky smell goes straight to the nostrils, and when you smell it, it's a little spicy, which makes people want to vomit.
The fat man didn't care about it, as soon as he heard that he could solve the Gu, he pinched his nose and stuffed the pill into his mouth, tilted his head, and swallowed it dryly.
I admire him for this, he has the courage to try, and he is not afraid that this thing is poisonous.
After all, it is the first time we have met this grass ghost woman, the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of defense is indispensable, and we can't have no defense at all, right?
Man Qiang and I stared at him closely, for fear that something would happen to him.
In less than two minutes, the fat man's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, and he hugged his stomach and shouted pain.
At first, he could still stand with his teeth grinned, but after a minute, he actually lay upright on the ground and rolled around, wailing as he rolled, and his fat face was completely bloodless, like white paper pasted to the window.
I couldn't help but clench my bone sword and asked sharply, "Granny Cao, what's going on?" ”
"Fatty, are you alright?"
Man Qiang also panicked, screaming and reaching out to pull him.
The grass ghost woman didn't speak, just smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and pointed at the fat man, and motioned for me to look at him again.
I hesitated to turn my gaze to the fat man, only to see him crawl up with a bone, kneeling on the ground and vomiting "wow".
Before, he vomited with Man Qiang, almost vomited out the bitter gall, and his stomach was already empty, but at this time, a puddle of viscous black liquid poured out of his mouth, this liquid emitted a foul smell, like the silt at the bottom of the river, which made my stomach twitch.
"Bugs, bugs. ...... vomit"
The fat man threw up and screamed with a frightened and painful expression.
I can still speak, it seems to be fine, this pill should not be poisonous.
I glanced at his vomit, and sure enough, a pile of worms as small as grains of rice was wriggling in it.
The bugs made my scalp tingle for a while, and I swallowed the pill thinking that I had it in my stomach.
In a moment, a sharp pain rose from the bottom of my stomach, stronger than the other, and I couldn't help but scream......
Immediately, like a fat man, I vomited something unknown, and I was so disgusted that I wanted to take out my stomach and wash it.
I don't know how long it took for me to stop, and I sat on the ground with my whole buttocks, and my whole body collapsed, without a trace of strength, and my body was covered in a cold sweat, as if I had just been fished out of the water, and there was an indescribable fishy smell in the whole cave.
Look at Man Qiang again, he is also dying in pain.
Until Man Qiang finished vomiting, the grass ghost woman looked at our vomit one by one, nodded and said, "It's okay now, let's go up." ”
The gray master pulled the three of us up, I felt like my legs were stepping on cotton, several people supported each other, and finally climbed up the steps, I couldn't support it, and squatted on the ground all of a sudden.
The female ghosts in the Yin Temple are gone, it may be that we are too yang, they are stunned and hidden.
Xiaozhu Village is low-lying, and it looks gloomy from the outside, and there is a feeling that it is almost dark.
The grass ghost woman also sat on the ground without any scruples, and said: "People are useless when they are old, and they are tired after walking such a long way, so don't go back today, let's stay here for one night." ”
The playing card face nodded, sat down next to the grass ghost woman, and asked, "Grass mother, do you always see any eyebrows?" ”
The grass ghost woman groaned for a while, and said: "This Gu cultivator is not simple, his ability is only afraid of being above me, and he is vicious, he uses forbidden arts, raising spirit Gu, he must be removed." ”
"Spirit Gu? What kind of Gu is this? Poker Face continued to ask.
The Grass Ghost Woman explained: "There is a saying among us Gu cultivators that Gu is divided into five orders and thirteen kinds. But most of them are those thirteen kinds of ordinary Gu, in the Dragon Boat Festival every year, in the middle of the night when the yin qi is extremely strong, all kinds of poisonous insects are packed in a clay pot, buried at the crossroads, and taken out after three years, the one that survives is the Gu. However, few people know the meaning of the term 'fifth order'. ”
"This fifth order is actually a process of Gu transformation and upgrading, from eggs to Gu worms, to Gu mothers, Gu queens, and finally Gu spirits. The word 'Gu' has an insect on the top and a dish below, so it is natural to raise the insect in the dish as Gu. But this is just an ordinary Gu cultivation method, if you want to raise a spirit Gu, you must use a living person as a dish, and this is the case from the beginning of cultivation. ”
"A living man is a vessel? Does it mean that the people in the jars below were put into it while they were alive? ”
I asked casually, in fact, I had thought of this for a long time, even if the grass ghost woman said yes, I wouldn't be too surprised.
I never thought that the next words of the grass ghost woman made me horrified.
"Packed in the jar, it's already after raising Gu. From the very beginning, raising a spirit Gu was based on people, laying Gu eggs into the body of a living person, slowly hatching, and then slowly growing into an adult Gu, and then taking it out and replacing it with another living person, until it cultivated a spirit Gu. This process takes about 30 years. These villagers in Xiaozhu Village are the first batch of tripods. ”
As soon as she said this, even the always calm poker face couldn't help frowning.
"The whole village?" The fat man's curiosity is the same as mine, he asked.
The grass ghost woman nodded: "From the early stage of cultivation, the spirit Gu must not be sloppy, the process of strengthening from eggs to insects is too long, just planting Gu eggs in three or five people, the success rate is extremely slim and a waste of time, so people who raise spirit supernatural will attack a large number of people at the same time to ensure a success." ”
Speaking of this, the grass ghost woman looked out of the door, raised her hand, and said: "No matter what aspect of this village is, it is not suitable for people to live, and the villagers here should have been brought here after being controlled by the Gu raiser." ”
Poker face nodded and said: "Before I came, I specially checked, this Xiaozhu Village was not on the map in the early years, and then I contacted the staff here, and the materials they gave me said that Xiaozhu Village was almost exactly thirty years from the time someone moved in to the death of the whole village." ”
I suddenly thought that there was no land to cultivate around this small bamboo village, and I couldn't help but ask: "Don't the people in the Gu need to eat?" There is no land to cultivate near this small bamboo village, how do they live? Is it drinking wind? Also, what will happen if they fall into the Gu? ”
