Chapter 177: Puzzle Solved
The matter was urgent, I went out of the mountain with the playing card face with the earth dragon, and hurried overnight, when the east was white, the two of us returned to Jinyi, and went straight to the grass ghost mother's house.
It was still early, but the door of the grass ghost mother's house was already open, and the lights were on in the house.
The small room was full of people, the few girls in our class who had fallen into the Gu were there, and there were some middle-aged men and women, who should be their parents.
They all looked haggard and very ugly, and it was obvious that they had been under tremendous pressure in the past few days, both mentally and physically.
"Changsheng, you're back!"
"Did you find something?"
“……”
Seeing the two of us rushing back, everyone who had been silent opened their mouths to inquire at the same time. It's just that their eyes are full of anticipation and timidity, as if they are afraid that I will say something that will disappoint them.
"I found it, don't worry." The playing card face comforted him, and handed the bag to the grass ghost woman.
"It's really a dragon, everyone is saved." The grass ghost woman opened the bag and glanced inside, and immediately frowned, then patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations, "Fortunately, I came back in time, if you come back a day late, these girls will die." ”
Without further ado, the grass ghost woman did not continue to ramble, she took out the earth dragon, put it in a wooden basin with clear water that had been prepared a long time ago, and pulled the five girls to kowtow to the earth dragon.
While leading the kowtow, she said something in her mouth, which roughly meant that in order to save the lives of these girls, she needed to take a drop of blood from the earth dragon, hoping that the earth dragon would agree.
This earth dragon is a strange beast born of condensation of the earth's qi, it has long been psychic, and when it first met us, it would take the initiative to let out a child's cry to attract us to the rescue, and now it naturally understands the words of the grass ghost woman, and nods frequently in the wooden basin.
After kowtowing six times in a row, the grass ghost woman got up and took out a slender silver needle, and easily stabbed it in the tail of the earth dragon, and a bright red blood bead rolled out, and slowly dispersed in the water.
I've never seen such a bizarre scene, and my eyes are immediately drawn to it.
Then, the Grass Ghost Woman took out five more pills and distributed them to each girl, took some water mixed with the blood of the earth dragon from the wooden basin, and let them take it, and then poured the rest of the water into a black jar.
Not long after the girls took the pill, they hugged their stomachs one by one and exhaled in pain, which made their faces pale, and the pear blossoms brought rain......
After a few more minutes, the five girls began to vomit, and they all vomited a large pool of black sticky stuff, and the room was instantly enveloped in a sour and rancid smell.
In the cave in Xiaozhu Village, I also had the same experience, so I naturally knew the pain and felt it, and I couldn't bear to look at it again.
Unlike us, the girls vomited black stuff and each vomited a ball of blood.
I saw that there was a living creature shaped like a loach in each blood mass struggling and writhing, and the grass ghost woman was not too dirty, and her hand was like electricity, and she directly grabbed them all and threw them into the black jar.
Looking at what she spit out, every girl was shocked and frightened, her face was pale and dumbfounded. The grass ghost woman breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sense of relief: "Fortunately, I have not dishonored my mission, and now I have been forced out, and everyone is fine." ”
Hearing her say this, the girls and their parents thanked the three of us for their kindness and politeness.
In the end, the grass ghost woman sent them away on the grounds that we hadn't closed our eyes all night and needed a rest.
After cleaning up the filth in the house, the grass ghost woman poured out the water in the black jar, and the blood stains were washed away, and I finally saw the confused appearance clearly.
It is about the same length as a loach, white, covered with small red dots, and the head and tail are generally thick, like a large woodworm.
"How do you get the heart of this thing out?" I stared at the basin and asked the grass ghost.
The Grass Ghost Woman showed a cheerful smile and seemed to have returned to her girlhood, explaining: "Earth dragons are the nemesis of confusion, they are greatly injured after being soaked in earth dragon blood, and they can be used to deal with them with my natal Gu." ”
According to legend, the Natal Gu was the first Gu worm that Gu cultivators cultivated and refined with their own hands, and it was very important to them and directly affected their future realm cultivation.
The stronger the natal Gu selection, the smoother the Gu cultivator will be in the future, and vice versa, it will drag down the cultivation.
After raising to a certain extent, the natal Gu will become one with the Gu cultivator, with one heart and one realm.
Grass Ghost Woman, the realm is quite deep, and her Gu must not be simple.
At this time, she closed her eyes and concentrated, pinched her fingers in her hand, and muttered a few words in her mouth, and saw a fat and fat, golden insect about the same size as a silkworm of five sheds, magically appeared in her palm.
The grass ghost woman put this insect into the altar, covered it, and said to us easily: "The natal Gu is going to finish eating the confusion, it will take about an hour, I will cook for you, you sit down and rest for a while." ”
This time, we didn't say no.
The poker face was probably the same as me, and he wanted to see what would happen in the end, so he sat down patiently and chatted with me.
It wasn't until we had eaten and drunk enough that the grass ghost woman opened the jar and took out five beads the size of soybeans from it.
"Is this confusion?" I asked, then gently pinched one and put it in the palm of my hand to examine it carefully.
It's crystal clear, it looks like crystal, it feels pure, but it's hard, and it's definitely not as fragile as it looks.
The grass ghost woman told us again: "When the mind encounters human blood, it will melt into water, and if this water is present on the living creature, you can confuse its heart, and from then on he will think what you think, do what you do, and you are the only one." ”
After she finished speaking, she took one of herself and carefully put it away, handing the rest to me and the playing card face.
We took two each.
The grass ghost woman said again: "There were originally six of them, and the girl who died originally because of confusion, the one in her body disappeared, and probably returned to the hands of the person who raised the confusion." ”
Poker face nodded, turned his head to me and said: "A hundred years of confusion, once we were confused, he must hate us to the core, you should be careful in the future, so as not to be retaliated against." ”
After some advice, we said goodbye to the grass ghost woman, and the playing cards took me to the river, and released the earth dragon into the river.
The river is connected with the underground water vein, which can be said to extend in all directions, and this dragon is produced in Ningyuan County, and it will naturally return there.
When the earth dragon meets the water, just like the dragon returning to the sea, it is very happy, and after circling in the water a few times, it plunges into the bottom of the river and disappears without a trace.
This matter has a perfect ending.
