Chapter 619: Spider Shadow Ghost Tower (2)
Chu Xunyu and the three of them inadvertently met the old Thursday official in this dilapidated village, coincidentally Lao Zhou They actually worked as overseers here back then, and witnessed the whole incident, which made Chu Xunyu and them happy, but they didn't expect that there were still people in the know, which was really unexpected, you can inquire clearly, Chu Xunyu is also very curious why this spider is not recorded in the classics at home.
It's night, everyone has fallen asleep, Lao Zhou is on duty, in fact, Chu Xunyu and the three of them don't have to sleep, just make a show, Chu Xunyu pretended not to sleep, and came to Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou sat on the threshold with a steel knife, and smoked according to the door frame, Chu Xunyu also sat down and asked: "Brother, have you seen this kind of spider?"
"No, I've never seen a turtle slaughterer. Lao Zhou shook his head, and then told Chu Xunyu a piece of the past: In fact, this kind of spider has never been seen at all, it was dug out for mining, and the miners still mined as usual that day, but they dug deep and dug out a big copper tripod in the crack of the stone, which was full of patina, and most of the miners were born with mud legs, and they didn't know what it was, but Lao Zhou was on an errand in the yamen, and he had seen some of the world, and knew that this thing was called "Ding" , then tell everyone that this thing was used by the emperor a long time ago, it is a good thing, ordinary people can't touch it, and now that it is dug up, it should be handed over to the government, and the lord will definitely have a reward.
It's okay not to say this, but it's counterproductive to say it, and when those miners heard that it was from the emperor's family, they exploded on the spot, "Whoa" Rushed up, patted off the lid with a shovel, and saw what treasures were in it, thinking that it was a night pearl or something, who knew that it was full of a large number of shriveled red spider corpses inside, and then the miners scolded the bad luck, but they didn't expect to dig out this kind of thing, Lao Zhou was behind the crowd, and he couldn't stop it, but fortunately, the miners in front said that it was a spider, so he was relieved, so he ordered everyone to carry it up and hand it over.
Just like that, those spiders actually lived, poured out from the ding, rushed into the crowd, the miners were ferocious, waved the shovel and slapped it directly, and after a while, they all shot to death, among them, there was a miner called "Sanmazi" who caught one alive with a jar, and he was happy to be happy, because this spider has a strange shape, and the abdomen is a red eye, if this is taken out, it can also be sold to the medicinal herb shop for a good price.
But in other words, who would have thought that when the work was finished that night, the miners in other tunnels had to find Sanmazi to see the spider, Sanmazi was said to be helpless, so he had to take out the jar for everyone to take a look, but just uncovered the lid, the spider "whoosh" A sound came out, a bite on the hand of the three mazi, the three mazi monster screamed, the face instantly turned bloody, fell to the ground and smoked white foam, now people suddenly realized, knowing that this thing is highly poisonous, quickly shot to death with a shovel, lifted the three mazi to find Langzhong, but did not go to the entrance of the village, the three mazi "rubbed" jumped up, like crazy picked up the bricks on the side of the road and smashed a miner, smashed to the ground and opened his mouth to bite, the surrounding miners hurriedly went up to pull, five, The six people separated the two of them, and suddenly found that San Mazi bit the man's ear in his mouth while smirking and chewing, and the edge of the ear was still leaking out of his lips, and the bitten miner was lying on the ground with his ears covered and screaming like a pig, and the blood was pouring out, and everyone did not dare to be abrupt, so they tied people up with ropes, lifted the two brothers and sent them back to the city to find Langzhong.
Within two days, I heard the news from the city, and the Langzhong who treated the wounds of San Mazi not only did not cure the disease, but also went crazy, and heard that he had hacked his three-year-old son to death with a firewood knife, and when his wife found him, that Langzhong had already disemboweled the child and was gnawing on the intestines, which caused the panic of the people and the attention of the government, and sent people to see what was going on overnight, and gathered Lao Zhou and them together for questioning.
Lao Zhou didn't dare to hide it, and told what had happened, and the government ordered that anyone who found this kind of "strange ding" should be handed over and not opened privately. But the news spread, the rumors could not stop, and after a while, another one was dug up in the same tunnel, and the miners swarmed up, carried the thing out, and set it on fire in broad daylight to vent their personal anger, and were burned by the fire, and the sore spots eaten by the spiders were forced to climb out of the lid and attack the crowd, and the miners were furious, brandishing shovels and slapping them, and there was a scuffle, and several more people were bitten, and more than a dozen others were injured.
This is a big trouble, I heard that even the governor of Chengdu knows that this kind of spider bite is incurable, and the poison is very widespread, which can make people crazy and crazy, and harm others, so he ran to the county yamen to slap the table and hit the bench, and even the top of the Dujiangyan county official was almost picked, but the anger is angry, things still have to be done, what should I do if the injured are tied up and sent over? The governor mobilized Lang Zhong from ten miles and eight towns to come for consultation, but they were all helpless, and finally made a difficult decision to secretly execute all the wounded.
The miners stopped doing it, and they all gathered to make trouble, because the tunnel was dug deeper and deeper, and a few more were dug out, this thing was really too old, no one dared to touch it, and they were afraid of it, and they went on strike collectively, but fortunately, there was a miner who had an occasional adventure, like a stroke of genius, and found the fatal flaw of this thing, that is, the fear of alcohol.
Shu since ancient times like to eat pepper and spicy, every meal must have spirits with each other, so Shu men are booze, that day there was a miner in the house to eat and drink, suddenly crawled on the table a spider, the buddy was so frightened that he fell under the table on the spot, in a hurry to pick up the wine jug and smashed it, the liquor was thrown out, the spider was soaked in it, the spot was soft into a ball, with tongs clamped and thrown into the stove, the burning crackling, the miner was overjoyed, and hurriedly reported to the government, from then on, in digging out this ding, it will be sprinkled with spirits into it, and then burned, which is temporarily peaceful。
But I don't want this spider to be unstoppable from now on, and from time to time crawl out of the depths of the tunnel to hurt people, the miners are afraid, so they collectively resigned, and over time, the government can't, so they have to give up this vein, this is all the beginning.
Chu Xunyu listened to the rise, secretly speculated, there must be a cultivator cave in this underground, but I don't know what it is, this kind of cultivation of different species, the means of driving insects since the pre-Qin Yiren, there are many more in the world today, such as Yunnan's "Baizhong Sect", Western Xinjiang's "Gebu Palace" and so on, etc., there are no less than 30 large and small sects, so it is concluded that there is a hidden place in the depths of this underground, and I don't know which master's will left behind, which has not been dealt with, which has attracted unwarranted disasters.
As he was talking, Chu Xunyu's eyebrows suddenly moved, and he felt something, so he looked up, and in the dark night, he found that in the depths of a piece of rubble, there seemed to be a child's back in it, as if he was eating something, Lao Zhou jumped up nervously, touched the knife with his backhand, Chu Xunyu asked, "This is?"
Lao Zhou's eyes glared, his blood was gushing, and he gently pulled out a long knife and said: "This is what has been bitten, Lang'er is a melon baby, pig braincase, I know that this place is so dangerous, why don't you come here to play, and if you are bitten at home, your parents will not come to find land, brother, you are waiting here, watch Lao Tzu and I raise the knife in my hand, and come back after I kill him!"
"You decided to kill?" Chu Xunyu asked, "He's still a child." ”
"What can you do if you don't kill it?" Lao Zhou raised his eyebrows, "If you are bitten, you will no longer think about the living, and you will not be afraid of fire and fire!
"Okay!" Chu Xunyu gritted his teeth, even if he killed himself, he would see it with his own eyes, so he said to Lao Zhou, "You wait, I will wake up my companions to keep vigil here, I will go with you to check on one or two, and take care of each other, in case there is still this kind of spider by your side." ”
