CHAPTER XXIV
"Looks like you have a suspicion?"
Old Man Tang sighed and sat on the edge of his grandson's bed.
"I didn't think about it that way. But in the past few years, I have been thinking day and night about why this is happening. Just recently, something finally reminded me:
When the child came back, I was packing up the herbs and he came over to help. I accidentally saw a blood spot on his ring finger, as if he had been pricked by something.
When I asked him, he said he had accidentally made it while eating. I didn't think much of it at the time. ”
"But when I came back, I saw those medicinal ...... in the kitchen," he said, looking deeply at Tsuruyu, and the unfinished meaning was all in it.
Tsuru Yu said: "Even so, there is no need to hide it from your old man. Tang Yikang's condition is indeed related to Gu worms. The medicine is only to lure the live insects out of the body, but the insect corpses that have been deposited outside the spirit platform are beyond my power. ”
Old Man Tang's vicissitudes of life turned into a chrysanthemum: "It's enough for you to cut off the source of the disease." For the rest, the old body has its own way. Although it is not as good as the ghost door acupuncture, the acupuncture method passed down by my family is not vegetarian. ”
After the sauce was fried, the apprentice brought the whole casserole. Old Man Tang personally poured two sections of Tsubaki skin and mulberry white skin, and carried a live hedgehog before he knew that bad luck was coming, and he was still holding the cabbage and gnawing happily.
Handing the Tsubaki skin and the mulberry white skin to the Crane Palace, the old man Tang said: "If you do it, the hedgehog skin will be fine immediately." ”
After saying that, after piercing the hedgehog's neck, the little hedgehog immediately straightened up like a stone.
Seeing that Old Man Tang's technique was extremely stable, Heyu was no longer distracted. Zhu Weiye and Zhu Lili worked together to keep Tang Yikang lying on his side, and Heyu shot a flash of knife light, first preparing a skin for the back of Tang Yikang's head.
Crane Yu chose the thickest hollow golden needle, carefully pierced into the acupuncture point, and at the same time poured the qi infusion, carefully crushed a few times, and when he let go, the golden needle rotated rapidly on its own. Zhu Weiye immediately put the tsubaki skin to the end of the needle.
An extremely strong medicinal fragrance mixed with the fragrance of Tsubaki bark emanated, and the fragrance made Zhu Lili swallow his saliva. However, Tang Yikang's bulge continued to bulge and move at the back of his head, which instantly dispelled the idea of "giving it a taste" to the little fat man.
"This, what is this?!"
Zhu Lili's eyes widened, and the hand holding Tang Yikang's head trembled. Crane Yu said in a deep voice: "Hold it steady!" ”
As he spoke, there seemed to be a living creature surging desperately under the golden needle, and it was frozen in place by the golden needle. The golden needle suddenly swirls forward and then backwards, and seems to be in a state of extreme chaos.
Not long after, I heard a "poof" sound, and a stream of gray-black blood gushed out from the hollow of the golden needle, followed by a strong fishy smell.
"Vomit-" Zhu Lili couldn't help but tilt his head and retch. Old Man Tang handed him a piece of roasted tangerine peel: "Hold it." ”
With tangerine peel in his mouth and the fragrance of oranges close to the tip of his nose, Zhu Lili felt alive. The gray-black blood fell on the Tsubaki skin and slid into the sugar water bowl, and the gray-black condensed into the water, as if it were some kind of living alien creature.
After a full ten minutes, the black gray gushing out gradually faded. Tsuru Yu threw the Tsubaki skin into the sugar water bowl, changed it to the mulberry white skin, and another burst of black blood gushed out, but in just half a minute, no more blood flowed out.
Tsuruyu's face was solemn.
What was attracted by the Tsubaki Bark and Mulberry White Bark were some rootless Gu, in other words, the larvae born by the mother Gu. The mayflies that really raised Gu Qi were still firmly on the spiritual platform.
"The mother Gu must be lured out, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured."
Old Man Tang sighed, and the old man's lips trembled, as if he was apologizing to the little hedgehog in front of him.
The bloody hedgehog skin fell into the palm of the crane royal palm, and he did not hesitate to stick the bloody inner skin to Tang Yikang's wound. The qi machine is swimming outside but not entering, and the blood and vitality continue to attract the female insects on the spiritual platform.
After more than five minutes, Old Man Tang almost thought that he was going to fail this time, and Tang Yikang, who had been lying in bed unconsciously for more than three years, suddenly screamed and struggled like crazy.
"Hold him down!" Heyu drank, Zhu Weiye and Zhu Lili, father and son, worked hard together, holding down Tang Yikang, who was constantly struggling.
However, Tang Yikang burst out with tremendous strength, and the two fat men joined forces and almost failed to hold him, and even Old Man Tang hugged his grandson's legs with tears in his eyes.
After a cry of pain, two particularly foul-smelling black balls of blood fell into the hedgehog skin. On the bed, Tang Yikang's body softened and was carefully flattened by the Zhu family's father and son.
Black blood dripped down, and Heyu immediately wrapped it, and Old Man Tang handed over an empty basin.
The hedgehog skin fell into the basin, and the whole bottle of liquor was poured into it, and the two balls of stimulation were like boiling water, gushing endlessly. Old Man Tang quickly lit the liquor in the basin, and there seemed to be a piercing scream in the air.
The phantom of a giant mayfly appeared in mid-air, the phantom was the size of a human head, the body of the insect looked like a spider on its chest and abdomen, and a distorted grimace in the center, which looked particularly hideous.
Zhu Lili was stuck in his throat with a "careful", and the person was already frightened, and Zhu Weiye next to him almost reacted, his legs trembled, and the shaking bed creaked.
In a panic, the phantom swooped down on Crane Yu with a thick killing intent, bringing a gust of fishy wind.
"Look for death!"
In the face of the menacing phantom, Crane Yu did not retreat for half a step, raised his strength and accumulated his strength, and facing the phantom was a punch. The phantom did not seem to be a unified enemy in front of the fist wind, and was immediately dispersed.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that after a moment's effort, the phantom condensed again. This time, it condensed into a strange face.
"Bad for my good deeds, I will never die with you!"
Tsurumi sneered and clasped his hands round. It is obviously a closed room, but the curtains are windless and automatic, as if there is an invisible qi forming a vortex between the two palms, stirring the air in the room and circulating and flowing.
The phantom rushed fiercely again, a grimace opening its bloody mouth, and a closer look could see that there seemed to be countless twisted and wailing souls in the mouth.
However, just as Heyu was ready to go, the ghost suddenly turned to Zhu Lili, the little fat man who was stunned on the bed.
[Is this a soul-snatching technique?] 】
Crane Yu was startled, his ten fingers suddenly opened, and the qi in his palms instantly formed a net, firmly binding the phantom in it.
The phantom rushes left and right in the net, and every time it hits the net, it will be partially consumed by the qi machine. Crane Yu watched it toss coldly, until the phantom consumed most of it, and then said:
"Dare to slippery?"
The invisible net gradually turned golden, the invisible turned tangible, and the golden net that seemed to be real and illusory was as dazzling as the sun.
"Weaving Jinluo?" The phantom couldn't help but be shocked.
Heyu never expected that when he came to this other world, there would be people who could recognize this trick "Weaving Jinluo".
Crane Yu was about to collect the weaving gold luo, completely disperse the phantom, and when he heard the words, he shook his fingers, leaving a glimmer of life for the phantom.
"You know Weaving Jinluo?" Tsurumi asked.
However, the phantom showed fear, as if he had inadvertently revealed a secret that could not be spoken. With the speed of the crane royal palace, he didn't have time to react, and the phantom dissipated in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
The air was quiet, and after a while, Zhu Lili, who was scared for a while, asked cautiously:
"Knot, is it over?"
