Chapter 618: Spider Shadow Ghost Tower (1)
At dusk, just when Chu Xunyu and the three of them saw more and more strange reds emerging around them, a noise attracted the attention of the three of them, only to see a few big men in the distance shouting and riding over, and one of the older ones also reprimanded a young man beside him in Shu Yin, who seemed to be a local guest on a long trip.
This noise made those spiders settle down a lot, and suddenly lost their color, Chu Xunyu looked carefully, only to find that it was actually four officials, those people approached and saw Chu Xunyu The three of them were also quite surprised, and they dismounted to say hello, and the middle-aged man led by him arched his hand and asked in half-baked Shuyin official dialect: "A few friends, where are you from?"
"That place?" Mu Yuan asked confusedly, "Do you know us?"
"Nonsense!" Chu Xunyu gave him a slap, "If you don't understand Shuyin Sichuan, don't mess around, people are asking where we came from." β
After speaking, he replied to them: "A few of us came from the grassland, helped people send a dart, rushed a foot, passed by here and saw that it was not early, so we looked for this place and wanted to sleep in the open." β
"Either way! or not!" The young official who had just been trained hurriedly shook his hand and interjected in a panic, "A few big people, you don't know, this place is often haunted, and people are dead. β
"You melon baby, you talk nonsense!" The old official was almost furious, reprimanded him again, and then said to Chu Xunyu and the three of them, "Rest assured, Lao Tzu has gone south and north, and has been on an errand in the yamen of Dujiangyan for many years, and I have never heard of any ghosts here, this child is too young, he has just entered the yamen, he has never seen anything in the world, and he has never seen anything in the world. β
"No! No!" Chu Xunyu hurriedly signaled that it didn't matter, and asked where the four came from.
The four of them told Chu Xunyu that they came from the Dujiangyan Yamen, and went out to lie far away on official business, the older one was the head catcher who led the team, named "Zhou Ya", and the person called "Lao Zhou", who was very refreshing, but was a little impatient, and the timid young man was called "Zhou Jin", and the people were called "Xiao Zhou", who was Lao Zhou's nephew, who had just entered the yamen on an errand, and the remaining two officials were fat and thin, the fat person was called "Lao Wang", and the thin one was called "Lao Han". It's been eight years, much calmer than Xiao Zhou's age, and when he saw Xiao Zhou being reprimanded, they all laughed, but Chu Xunyu saw that these three elderly officials were very experienced in their skills when they touched their waists, holding the scabbard a little later in their left hand, falling down, and then retracting their elbows slightly, turning the handle to the right , which means that this posture draws the knife quickly, and if there is a slight mistake, he will shoot immediately, and he has the kung fu of snatching and blowing out the fire of the oil lamp, looking at Xiao Zhou, holding the scabbard very nervously, and I don't know where to put my hand.
Lao Zhou told the three of them that his group also missed the stay, so they had to settle here, but Xiao Zhou said that there were ghosts here, and they couldn't live there, which made Lao Zhou angry, not to mention anything else, but said that Lao Zhou used to be the supervisor of this village, and lived here for more than two years, until it was abandoned, and he didn't see any ghosts, of course, he was at ease here.
"Have you ever lived here?" Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then brother, have you ever seen a spider here?" β
"Well, don't worry. Lao Zhou laughed, after speaking, he took out his waist knife, raised his hand in the house and slapped one to death with the knife body, turned his head and told everyone, I don't know what kind of turtle son place is here, this kind of spider is very poisonous, after biting people, the bitten person will lose his heart and go crazy, and act crazy, when there was a murder in this village, in fact, it is related to this kind of thing, biting a miner in the village, and the miner went crazy, cut people with a knife, killed one, injured two, and since then, the locals are afraid to say that it touched the mountain god, and then somehow, a few more people were bitten, and then mad and hurt people, the miners are afraid to do it, the government has no choice but to withdraw the people and horses, and abandon the villageγ
This kind of spider is locally called "Red Tai Sui", because of the toxicity is violent and weird, so it is called "Tai Sui", which means that it cannot be provoked, and it is necessary to walk around, but there is a shortcoming, afraid of fire and spirits, so Lao Zhou is very confident, just raise a bonfire and sprinkle spirits around it, you can resist this poisonous insect, which makes Chu Xunyu and the three of them know a lot, it turns out that there are still people who know what this kind of thing is afraid of.
Lao Zhou is still more experienced, and found a dilapidated roof here, so that the fire smoke will not smoke everyone, and then take out the liquor and sprinkle it on the ground, and then discuss with everyone, take turns to be on duty at night, add firewood, and prevent poisonous insects from attacking.
Xiao Zhou trembled with fright, and sat on the edge of the bonfire with a pot of spirits, for fear that a red Tai Sui would attack, and the fat man "Lao Wang" teased him happily: "Gua Wazi, you can sprinkle that liquor on your body with that spirit, and then jump into the bonfire." β
Lao Zhou glanced at him dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Look at your itchy ball, and you are still a government official, Lang laughed off his big teeth, drank wine, and strengthened his courage." β
"Yes, yes. Lao Han smiled and untied the saber and put it beside him, "There is an old saying in the rivers and lakes, wine is strong and intimidating, if you drink wine, you will not be afraid." β
"Which of me can compare with you, you are all old-timers, you have killed people, your body is very angry, these poisonous insects see you all have to walk around, I am not the same as you, I am young, my body is clean, insects are bullied, as the saying goes, ghosts are also afraid of evil humans. Xiao Zhou muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Killed someone?" Chu Xunyu raised his eyebrows, and then he understood why the three old officials were almost touching the knife in a posture of "grabbing and blowing fire", it turned out that they had really killed people, but there must not be much, otherwise the murderous spirit would be heavy, and Chu Xunyu could feel it.
Old Monday was suspicious when he saw Chu Xunyu, and thought that he thought that his group was a bad person, so he quickly explained, it turned out to be related to this red Tai Sui, this red Tai Sui was really annoying back then, and the bitten person had no medicine to treat, and he was crazy and hurt people, and even cut the corpse with a knife, tearing the limbs, if it was stained with the blood of the bitten person, it would also be infectious, but it would not be so serious, the light was a fever and coma for a few days, and the heavy was recuperation for half a year, which made the government very distressed, and finally couldn't, so he had to kill on the spot, these three people had killed the bitten people back then, so Xiao Zhou said that they were murderous, and the ghosts were also afraid of the wickedγ
Xiao Zhou's words are not groundless, there are too many people to kill, and the murderous aura on his body can indeed make all evils avoid, such as Gao Wei's big knife, the accumulation of military merits in the third world, it can be said that it is iron-clad, Xiao kills a piece, which ghost dares to come? Even Yan Shang, who was confused by the black light back then, was afraid of three points; for example, Chu Xunyu, who killed people like hemp all his life, and after embarking on the road of sword cultivation, he intensified his efforts, and the spirit of fighting bravely became more and more vigorous, and generally all kinds of demons and monsters could see it, and he was bound to go around;
Speaking of this, the sky had become dark, and there was darkness all around, only the bonfire was swaying, which looked particularly desolate, and he was puzzled, so he asked Chu Xunyu: "Your family covers the world's pharmacology, have you ever heard of this poisonous spider?"
"Nope. Chu Xunyu shook his head, "Let's be vigilant, this spider is not right, it doesn't seem to be a natural thing." β
