Chapter Eighty-Seven: Gu Mother
"Oh no, these worms are ignoring the aura shield, ah!"
A Mingtang disciple standing at the front was crawling all over his body at this time, and he fell to the ground screaming non-stop.
"Retreat, retreat."
Zhou Tao waved out the chaotic qi to disperse the earthworms that surrounded him, and seeing that three people had fallen in the grasshopper group, he was extremely angry in his heart, but there was no good way but to let the others withdraw from the ancestral hall first.
But he didn't retreat, and he found that these worms seemed to be afraid of his chaotic aura.
After Tang Can, Tang Ming and the other Mingtang disciples withdrew from the ancestral hall, Tang Can saw that Zhou Tao was still inside, and hurriedly shouted: "Young shopkeeper, come out quickly." ”
After Zhou Tao dispersed the worms that surrounded him, he turned his head and shouted to Tang Can: "Don't come in first, I'll try to disperse these insects." ”
Out of the ancestral hall, the miraculous thing is that those worms did not chase them out, but after turning around at the door, they all rushed towards Zhou Tao, who was still in the ancestral hall, and the three Mingtang disciples who were already lying on the ground and had not moved.
Zhou Tao relied on his own chaotic qi, blocking the countless worms that had been paved up, and slowly moved towards the three Mingtang disciples lying on the ground.
The chaotic qi in his body was consumed extremely quickly under Zhou Tao's wanton squandering, and Zhou Tao felt that the speed at which the Taiji diagram transformed the chaotic qi in the interior scene could no longer keep up with the speed of his consumption, and there was already evil qi mixed with the chaotic qi and was beaten out by Zhou Tao.
Because of the influence of the evil qi, Zhou Tao's eyes began to slowly glow with a hint of red.
"It's not an option." Zhou Tao was secretly anxious in his heart, if he kept consuming chaotic qi like this, when the chaotic qi was completely replaced by evil qi, he was afraid that he would lose his mind again and fall into the peerless mode, and at that time, I am afraid that all the people here would be killed by himself.
Zhou Tao first moved to the side of the three Mingtang disciples and tried their snort, these three people were still alive, and he turned his gaze to the blood jade coffin, where there was still a steady stream of worms crawling out.
At this moment, in the ancestral hall, whether it is on the ground or on the surrounding walls, there are already three layers inside and three layers outside, and the outer three layers are thick and full of worms.
If this scene is seen by someone who suffers from dense phobia, I am afraid that he will go into shock on the spot.
"Something doesn't seem right with these worms." Zhou Tao pinched a worm in his right hand and probed it with chaotic qi.
"Sure enough, these worms are all puppets without the breath of life, which should have been spawned by the red liquid in the coffin."
Zhou Tao did not perceive a trace of life breath on the bodies of these worms, but was filled with the same breath as the red liquid in the coffin, so Zhou Tao judged that these worms should have been born from the red coffin.
"Whether it's right or not, you'll find out if you try it." Zhou Tao secretly said in his heart, pulled out the broken knife with his backhand, and stabbed it fiercely at the blood jade coffin.
"Poof!"
The sharp broken knife was like a tofu insert, and it easily stabbed a hole in the blood jade coffin.
Zhou Tao pulled out the broken knife, and inserted several large holes in the blood jade coffin in a row, and the blood-red coffin liquid in the coffin suddenly flowed out along those holes.
As the liquid in the coffin decreased, the masked corpse floating on it was revealed.
The body was not floating on the coffin at all, but was held up by a metal plate.
Soon, the liquid in the coffin flowed out and seeped into the ground of the ancestral hall.
Sure enough, as Zhou Tao guessed, there was no coffin, and the mouth of the mask no longer crawled out again, and even the originally dense worms in the ancestral hall stopped their activities and fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing that all those worms were "dead", Tang Can and Tang Ming, as well as the other four Mingtang disciples, stepped on the insect corpses all over the ground and returned to the ancestral hall.
Walking to Zhou Tao's side, Tang Can looked at the only corpse left in the coffin, and couldn't help but be a little curious, who was buried in this coffin.
Just as several people were watching, the expensive clothes on the corpse began to fade, and finally turned into ashes along with the mask, dissipating into the air, and at this point, the true face of the corpse was also revealed in the eyes of everyone.
"Holy!"
Tang Can saw the true face of the corpse, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
After the clothes and mask dissipated, a huge worm nearly two meters long lay on the metal plate.
"This is the Gu Mother?"
Tang Ming exclaimed.
"Gu Mother? What is Gu Mother? Tan Can looked at Tang Ming with a questioning face, it was the first time he had heard of the word Gu Mother.
Zhou Tao also looked at Tang Ming.
He hadn't heard of this Gu Mother either.
Tang Ming squinted his eyes and said, "This Gu mother is also a kind of Gu worm, you should have heard of Gu worms, right?" ”
Tang Can and Zhou Tao both nodded.
Although Zhou Tao has never seen what Gu worms look like, he has seen Gu worms from movies and books.
"Gu worms first originated in southern Xinjiang, and have been used by local Gu doctors as a tool to treat diseases and save people, and later with the slow evolution of Gu worms, some Gu doctors with improper hearts used Gu to harm people.
There are many kinds of Gu, the most powerful is the Gu Doctor's Natal Gu, but this kind of Gu is extremely rare and precious, and it is closely related to the Gu Doctor's life, once the Gu Doctor dies, the Natal Gu will also die, the same, if the Natal Gu dies, the Gu Doctor will also die. “
Speaking of this, Tang Ming pointed at the huge worm and said, "Because the natal Gu is too important, the natal Gu is generally rarely shown to people, and later this Gu mother was researched to replace the natal Gu to save people, or fight." ”
"So, this Gu Mother is the most powerful Gu worm besides the Natal Gu?" Zhou Tao looked at the corpse of the Gu Mother and said thoughtfully.
Tang Ming nodded and continued: "It's not as good as the natal Gu, but the good thing is that the Gu mother is dead, although the owner of the Gu mother will also be seriously injured, but it will not be life-threatening." “
After speaking, Tang Ming seemed to have just remembered something, and said, "It's not good." ”
Then he hurriedly walked over to the three Mingtang disciples who were lying on the ground.
"Since it is a Gu mother, then they should have been poisoned by Gu poison, and they have to be treated immediately, once the Gu poison enters the brain, they will not be saved."
Tang Ming tore open the clothes of the three people, and saw that the chests of the three people were covered with black lines, which looked extremely weird and hideous, and some lines had a tendency to continue to extend upward along the chests to the necks.
Tang Ming said with a solemn look in his eyes: "There is not much time left for us, at this rate, they should be able to hold out for twelve hours, once we can't find the antidote within twelve hours, they will definitely die." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tao's face became extremely ugly, these Mingtang's brothers came with him to complete the task, they came to help him, once these three people died, he couldn't explain to Grandpa Zhao, and at the same time, his heart would be extremely guilty.
"Then how can we find an antidote to this Gu Mother Gu poison?" Zhou Tao asked in a deep voice.
Before Tang Ming could speak, Tang Can, who had been standing next to the coffin, opened his mouth and said, "I think I should find out where the antidote to the Gu poison is." ”
Zhou Tao turned his head to look at Tang Can: "Tang Can, what did you find?" ”
"Look here." Tang Can pointed to the side of the coffin and said.
Zhou Tao and Tang Ming walked over quickly, turned to the other side of the coffin, and saw that the inner wall of the coffin that Tang Can was pointing to was also carved with patterns.
I saw that on the inner wall of the coffin, it was the content after the funeral picture, and the funeral procession depicted carried the coffin to a halfway up the mountain, and finally buried the coffin in a cave halfway up the mountain.
Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, generally speaking, where there are Gu worms, there will be corresponding antidotes growing with them, as long as we can find the place where this coffin is buried, we can find the antidote.
"I know this, too, but where to find this burial place?" Tang Ming began to make mistakes on the side.
Zhou Tao stared at the carved picture, and said after a while: "I may know where that place is." ”
"Where?" Tang Ming hurriedly asked.
"You see, the soil on this coffin is very similar to the soil on this mountain, so this coffin should be buried in this mountain, and as for the place where it is buried, it should be in the place of the dragon's eye."
"Dragon's eye? What longan? Tang Can was a little confused.
"There is a Wolong dragon vein here, and this coffin is buried on the dragon eye of this dragon vein." Zhou Tao pointed to the carving on the coffin and said.
"Dragon vein? There is a dragon vein here. ”
Zhou Tao nodded and said: "There are many large and small dragon veins in the Qinling Mountains, this is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, it is not uncommon to have dragon veins, now without further ado, let's hurry into the mountains to find that dragon vein." ”
After speaking, Zhou Tao took the lead and walked out of the ancestral hall.
The rest of the people nodded and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall with Zhou Tao.
The three who fell into a coma were carried on their backs by the other three Mingtang disciples.
Walking out of the ancestral hall, Zhou Tao looked around and said: "This Phoenix Village is located in a valley in the south, the so-called dragon vein must be in the dangerous mountains and beautiful waters, and there is a stream not far from the front of Phoenix Village, with this stream as the boundary, the mountain is divided into two parts: north and south.
The dragon vein is in the south of the water, the so-called front has a photo, and the back has a back, which is the truth, so this dragon vein should be in the back mountain, we go to the south mountain, we should be able to find the dragon vein. “
Listening to Zhou Tao's remarks, when Tang Can looked at Zhou Tao, little stars appeared in his eyes, and he admired Zhou Tao even more.
Zhou Tao had goosebumps all over his body when he saw him, if it weren't for the fact that after these days of getting along, Zhou Tao knew Tang Can's personality, Zhou Tao probably would have to wonder if Tang Can had a problem with his sexual orientation.
After having a goal, everyone began to march towards the back mountain, that is, the South Mountain.
As soon as they walked out of the village, the three Mingtang disciples who were suddenly being carried on their backs suddenly woke up and said, "Water, water, I want to drink water." ”
At the beginning, Zhou Tao and the others were very happy, maybe they woke up because the Gu poison was not so serious?
Zhou Tao took out his kettle and handed it to one of them, and after the man took the kettle, he frantically poured water into his mouth, and even choked because he drank too fast, but he was still frantically pouring water into his mouth while coughing.
Seeing this strange scene, Zhou Tao narrowed his eyes.
