Chapter 664: Nightmare Gu Worm
A few people sat until seven or eight o'clock, and when the noodle restaurant closed the stall, they slowly got up and walked to the inn, and when they returned to the inn, the boss was napping, and when they came back, they hurriedly greeted them: "Oh, I thought you would also go to Yinping, go up quickly, and the door will be closed immediately." ”
"Boss, when did you talk about the Yin God?"
Yue Guan Chaoxin said that when he talked to Xiao Dao Chang at dusk, he didn't bother to ask about it, so he just inquired with Boss Qiu.
"Well, it's probably at the end of March, and it's going to be a few days, why are you asking this?"
Boss Qiu knew that they were from out of town, and seemed very curious about their whereabouts.
"I heard that there is a temple fair for the Yin God, don't we want to visit the temple fair, just ask, just ask."
After speaking, Yue Guanchao took everyone upstairs and returned to the room, and when they went back, everyone was full of food and drink and stood outside the railing to look at the ancient town, the middle street business road was brightly lit, like a bright shuttle facing the Yin Temple, the more you went north and south, the more sparse the lights, and finally fell into silence and darkness.
In this darkness, every house invariably lit an oil lamp and poked it on the roof, and it looked like a faint starry sky spread over the mountain bay, stretching all the way to the steep distant mountains on both sides.
Just as Boss Qiu was pushing a wooden cart to deliver hot water, Yue Guanchao took the copper kettle and asked, "Boss Qiu, why is there an oil lamp lit at night in this ancient town." ”
"This, it is the rule of Jiangyou Ancient Town, as long as the lights of Jiangyou Pass are on, Yinping Ancient Road has a cover, and all the strange forces and gods can't cross Jiangyou Pass, this is the method given by Bai Chongyang Old Daoist, I heard that even the lamp oil is special, and there is a special fragrance at night."
"Oh, I see!"
Yue Guanchao thought to himself, it was estimated that it was Bai Chongyang's comforting greeting, and he and Boss Qiu exchanged a few more greetings, and then picked two pots of tea and mentioned them to the guest room.
"I heard Boss Qiu say that this water is drawn from the mountain spring next to it, and the taste is very sweet, and it is delicious to brew any kind of tea."
After speaking, Yue Guanchao lifted the teapot and poured a cup for the people in front of him, the Qingwei spring water was boiled hot and bubbling, and the tea leaves were immediately curled and opened, shaking in the water like a small worm, and after a while, the tea soup was already green, and the taste was divergent.
Yue Guanchao blew down the teacup, and was about to taste the mountain spring water that the boss said, when the white hedgehog fart in the cage next to the table ran over, scratching his wrist, and chirping non-stop.
"It can't be hungry."
Song Siyuan took out her pocket and handed it a little sun-dried alfalfa grass, the little hedgehog just sniffed, still holding Yue Guanchao's wrist.
"This white hedgehog has been sleeping until now, why did he suddenly wake up."
Lan Ruling looked at the hedgehog, her eyes became solemn: "It's not that you woke up, it's that you seem to have sensed something, you put down the teacup first." ”
After listening to Lan Ruling's words, Yue Guanchao put the teacup on the ground, and the little hedgehog really circled around the teacup, reaching out and kicking the teacup over with his hind legs.
"Strange, could it be that there's something in the teacup?"
Ren Peacock took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the surface of the tea soup: "This is Gu powder, it can kill any Gu worm, I think there is probably something in the tea soup." ”
When the powder is spread nearby, it can be seen that something seems to be wriggling in the tea soup, and finally turns into needle-sized insects, like sesame seeds.
"Sure enough, there are Gu worms in here."
This scene, everyone was dumbfounded, they had not yet entered the Yin Ping, they had almost been hit by the Gu, Yue Guanchao looked at the white hedgehog again, and already knew what its abnormal movement represented.
"It's dangerous, what kind of Gu is this?"
Song Siyuan looked at the table, this full of tea is estimated to have been all deceived.
"This is Nightmare Gu!"
"Nightmare Gu?"
"Yes!"
Lan Ruling lowered her head and picked up a silver needle and stabbed a nightmare Gu worm under the oil lamp to observe carefully, the Gu worm was as small as a sesame seed, and it looked round like a black rapeseed, she explained cautiously: "This kind of Gu person will hallucinate after taking it, and even have nightmares at night, but it is not life-threatening, and there is no pain and discomfort, if you want to solve the Gu, you only need to take the miscanthus licorice soup, or eat the Hedgehog Pill, anyway, it solves the hundred Gu." ”
"What kind of grudge do we have against Boss Qiu, and he wants to harm us like this?"
Yue Er was not angry, and was about to go out to settle the account, and was immediately pulled back by Siyuan.
"It's not necessarily that he hurt us, these teapots are placed on the wooden cart, and we also picked two pots and brought them in, could it be that he can still know which two pots we are going to carry away before the prophet?"
"Then you mean, these teas have been poisoned?"
Yue Guanchao's eyes became curious.
"Yes!"
Let's try another pot of tea to see if that's the case, after speaking, Song Siyuan picked up the new pot that didn't move and poured two cups of tea, one was clear water, and one was just a single tea leaf.
She looked at everyone cautiously: "It seems that the Gu under the Xia is hidden in the tea, if we guess correctly, I think the real Gu is the mountain spring water." ”
"This Qiu Boss doesn't look like he knows how to do Gu arts, how can he give us a Gu?"
Ren Peacock specially noticed that there were dust and cobwebs in the eaves and corners of this inn, and it was impossible for ordinary Gu cultivators to have cobwebs.
"It doesn't have to be his Gu, I'll go down and try him later."
After speaking, Yue Guanchao poured the tea into the canal outside the window, walked down the stairs with an empty kettle, saw Boss Qiu there, walked to the counter and said: "Boss Qiu, your tea is good, the spring water is good, can you give us another pot, we will boil it ourselves." ”
"Okay, okay, this spring water is indeed sweeter than the water of the Fujiang River, and the people of Jiangyou also go there to get water to make tea, and I have to ask the farmers to go to the back mountain to pick up the three major tanks for me early in the morning, you wait, I will go and take it for you."
"Hey, I see you're busy settling accounts, you tell me the location, I'll just pick it up myself."
"Well, it's in the back yard, near the grass shed, there are three half-waist-high vats, you can see it when you go to the backyard."
Boss Qiu was busy settling accounts, and he didn't care about these, Yue Guanchao took the kettle and opened the curtain behind the stairs, and walked into the backyard to see the square courtyard full of firewood, fruit trees, bacon and smoked sausages, and there was an old locust tree in the middle, and the wellhead was full of locust leaves.
In the innermost straw hut, there were indeed three half-man high vats, and he walked to the mouth of the tank to scoop water into the kettle, and soon returned to the guest room.
After going back, the Gu powder was concocted in the same way, and sure enough, he saw that the spring water was full of Gu worms.
"This is strange, did Boss Qiu put the Gu directly in the spring water? What is he trying to do? Isn't that for us, it's for everyone? ”
Before Lan Ruling's words fell, Song Siyuan retorted: "Perhaps, he was also kept in the dark, and it was the spring water that was tampered with!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
