Chapter Twenty-Seven: Searching for the Gu King
This person could not tell the specific age, but judging from his expression and physical condition, Hu Yinfeng estimated that he should be at least forty years old. With a fair complexion, a polite appearance, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, if he hadn't met on such an occasion, walking on the street like a teacher, no one would have thought that this person was actually a member of one of the most mysterious organizations in China.
This person has been silent and silent from the beginning to the present, but he is not as unfathomable as the No. 2 Ponytail and No. 3 Taoist, but it just gives people a sense of detachment, as if he has nothing to do with everything here.
Hu Yinfeng has quietly opened his eyes, and he didn't find anything special about this person's face, all his complexions are normal, plain and bland, and he can't see the slightest peculiarity.
But this person is the fifth person of the black hole, and judging from the time and seniority of his entry into the black hole team, he should not be an ordinary person, so Hu Yinfeng still added a caution to this person.
At this moment, this person's eyes also fell on Hu Yinfeng, and the knife saw the situation of the two of them, and hurriedly introduced: "Lingmao, this is No. 5, everyone calls him Shadow." ”
Hu Yinfeng immediately stood up, raised his glass and nodded to No. Five, and said, "Hello Fifth Brother, the civet respects you." After saying that, he drank it all.
The shadow also stood up, holding a cup of Moutai, smiled slightly, did not speak, but also tilted his neck to the ground.
In this way, the black hole team basically knew all of them except for the No. 6 phoenix whose whereabouts were unknown, only the name of the No. 2 horsetail was not known, the knife was not introduced, the horsetail did not introduce itself, and others did not talk much, and it was not easy for the tiger to get to the bottom of it.
Only the Director of the Division is not from the Black Hole Team, but he seems to be familiar with everyone here. Hu Yinfeng also toasted him, so that even if they had all met.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. The knife put down his chopsticks, stared at everyone on the table, looked around, and said with blazing eyes: "Everyone, Phoenix has been missing for almost a month, and there has been no news so far."
According to the civet cat, the phoenix was snatched away by an old woman, I think we should go again, first, to find a way to find the whereabouts of the phoenix as soon as possible, it is best to rescue it, and secondly, to find out the whereabouts of the Gu King, which is very important for our next move. Old Five, what is your opinion?"
The knife swept its gaze at Shadow Five.
Although Hu Yinfeng didn't understand what Daozi just said, when he saw that he didn't come up to ask the opinions of No. 2 Ponytail and No. 3 Dao Chief, but to ask No. 5's opinion, he knew that this No. 5 had a very special position in the entire group.
Sure enough, the shadow picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "According to the information I got from this trip to Beijing, the sun is probably also looking for the whereabouts of the Gu King, in addition, the few Jianghu clans among the people, as well as some secret organizations in Hong Kong and South Asia, are also looking for the Gu King, I think, the Gu King should be aware of it."
The Valley of Hundred Worms we went to last time shouldn't be the Gu King's lair, at most it was just one of his footholds, or just a portal.
Now that the phoenix has been arrested, if it is the Gu King's person who captured the phoenix, we have already startled the snake, and the other party must have strengthened its vigilance. Therefore, even if I go to the Valley of Worms again, I don't think I will gain much. ”
The knife said: "No matter what, the phoenix is missing there, since there are no more clues now, we still have to go to the Valley of the Hundred Worms, anyway, we can't sit at home and wait." Now that we have more people, we have to break through once anyway, otherwise, we are likely to be preempted by the sun again. ”
The cold tail of the horse, who had been sitting next to Hu Yinfeng, suddenly spoke at this time: "Who are you going to take this time, and how many people are you going to go?"
The knife groaned for a while, and said: "The Valley of Hundred Worms is different from other places, things like knives and guns don't have much effect, and there are too many people and big targets, so I don't think I need to go all, it's enough to have me, the second sister, the doctor, and the civet." The shadow goes out on his own as usual, and can be contacted at any time if there is any information. The Taoist chief took the rubber and loach to Henan first to see what was going on in the Xue family and the Chen family, and then you turned your head to the south, and we will meet in the old place in Hunan in half a month. ”
Everyone agreed, and the work was divided on the spot.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Hu Yinfeng was woken up by the doctor knocking on the door, and went downstairs after simply cleaning up, and saw that a car had been started in the yard, and the doctor opened the trunk of the car and put in a large bag of things, and then covered the rear car cover, and sat in the driver's seat, with a knife sitting on the co-pilot's seat, and the tail of the living corpse horse with a frosty face was sitting on the right side of the back row.
Hu Yingfeng saw that the horse's tail was sitting in the back row, and his scalp hurt. He never wanted to be close to this half-human, half-ghost woman, but somehow, he always had some fate with her.
Yesterday at dinner, Ponytail sat next to him. When she went out today, she sat next to her again, which made Huzi feel very uncomfortable. But he couldn't say anything, so he reluctantly sat in, leaning against the left window.
I heard the knife command: "Drive." The car was like an arrow from the string, starting in an instant, and rushing out of the yard with a roar.
The doctor's skills were great, the car drove fast and steadily, and the speed was estimated to be at least 100 yards away. He is not familiar with the geographical environment here, and he doesn't know where the yard he went to yesterday is located, it was a small plane that came in directly, so there are no landmarks, others don't say it, and Hu Yinfeng is embarrassed to ask.
The sedan turned along the asphalt road, and through the window, he could see that the outside was full of rolling hills and dense woods.
After about an hour, they turned onto a wide north-south road, and the car drove due south.
There is nothing to say all the way, the starry night, the next morning, the knife and his party arrived in Changsha, Hunan, after a short rest, the car turned around again to the west, went to Changde, Zhangjiajie, turned and then went south, and then entered the ground of Xiangxi Prefecture.
The car stopped in Xiangxi Prefecture, and the knife found a hotel that could be seen, and asked for four rooms next to each other, one for each person, and stayed and rested for the time being.
Although it was a car, it was tiring after a long time, especially with a living corpse sitting next to him, Hu Yinfeng's nerves were tense along the way, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he felt even more uncomfortable.
But the doctor who drove the car was in good spirits and didn't look like a long distance at all, which surprised Hu Yinfeng. It is said that the driving hand and eye are used together, and it has been so long, how can this kid still be alive, like a fish that has just been caught. Everywhere he went to rest, he took the east and the west before and after the saddle, as if he had endless strength.
The four of them had a simple meal and went back to their respective rooms to rest. The knife said that everyone would have to leave in the evening. Hu Yinfeng didn't understand why he was setting off at night and not during the day, but he didn't ask.
Lying on the big bed in the single room of the hotel, Hu Yinfeng couldn't sleep. First, he doesn't have the habit of sleeping during the day, and second, this is the first time he has followed the black hole on a business trip, and he doesn't know what he can do.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Hu Yinfeng hurriedly jumped off the bed, opened the door, it was a knife standing outside the door, and Huzi hurriedly let the knife into the bedroom.
The knife was not polite, entered the bedroom, sat on a sofa in front of the bed, and said, "Civet, do you know what you are going to do this time?"
Hu Yinfeng shook his head and waited for the following.
Daozi said: "Last time we went to a place called Baiworm Valley in Phoenix, Xiangxi, it is said that someone once saw the traces of the Gu King there, and we are looking for the whereabouts of the Gu King, because this person is involved in a huge secret, and the country needs to know the true situation of this person, and the black hole was ordered to investigate this person, but there has been no exact clue." ”
Gu is a long-standing witchcraft that is popular among ethnic minorities in southwestern China.
The caster first selects all kinds of poisonous pests, puts them in a closed container, and lets them kill each other, bite, and devour each other, and the last thing left is called "Gu", but at this time, Gu is not a Gu in the real sense, it is just a protozoa, and it is more toxic. It also needs to be artificially cultivated, fed, and trained before it can become an invisible Gu that kills people. This poisonous insect is used as a Gu seed, and most of the eggs it lays are used for Gu seeding.
Shi Gu is mostly placed in meals, and there is a cloud in "Chiya": "Gu Cheng is put in the food first, and the flavor increases by a hundred times", and it is mostly placed on the first piece of food. The food that has been given Gu is very delicious, and ordinary people can't resist this temptation at all, so they will unknowingly give up their lives in addition to gluttony.
Some of the lower Gu are the worm itself, some are the feces of the lower worm, and some are the saliva foam of the lower Gu, that is, saliva and other secretions, all of which can achieve the same effect. Sometimes Gu can be cast without food, and when the caster reaches a higher level, it can be used to make people hit in silence.
Liu Nan recorded in "Miao Huang Xiaoji": "Miao's Gu poison is extremely terrifying, and its Gu release does not need special food. "That is to say, using food to kill Gu is the most basic and final means, exhaling casually, and even looking at you can make you finish, this is what makes Gu magic shudder.
It is precisely because Miao Jiang has endless strange things, and that place has not been completely developed by humans in the past, so outsiders rarely enter, and those who enter without permission can rarely come out alive, either dying from the miasma of the mountains, or being harmed by tiger and snake poison, or even killed by mountain people, or even being bewitched by people.
In short, most people from other places are reluctant to go to that kind of place unless they have to, and this has caused the economic development of a large area in southwest Miaojiang, including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hunan provinces, to be very slow, and all kinds of backward, grotesque, primitive, mysterious, and even bloody and terrifying customs have been preserved intact until today.
Many remote corners of these places are still blind spots of modern civilization, and the mountain people live in a constant rhythm for thousands of years, rarely intersecting with the outside world. Because of this, many secrets that don't want to be known to outsiders choose Miaojiang as a hiding place, which is very suitable.
This Gu King is the owner of many secrets, it's just that others know some small secrets, the Gu King's secrets are scared to death when they say it, and now Hu Yinfeng has not passed the final test, and the knife doesn't want him to know too much.
