Chapter 17 Qiankun Dan Furnace IV
When I returned to my residence, I saw two bonfires in the attic lobby, and Han Xiao's group of people were talking and laughing together, and two half-eaten boars were set up on the bonfire with thick wooden sticks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as he saw us coming, Han Xiao beckoned to us and said, "Mr. Su, Brother Gu come here, this boar is just right to eat at this time." ā
It was cold outside, but it was very warm in the attic, and because there were two bonfires, the attic seemed to be filled with firewood. However, Han Xiao and the others didn't care, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the informal way of eating meat made me feel on a whim. Compared with the banquet just now, I prefer to eat roast boar with Han Xiao and them.
Su Qingyao and I sat down among them, and the boar on the bonfire was dripping with oil, and it was sizzling in the fire. Han Xiao cut off a piece of meat from the boar and handed it to me, saying, "Here, Brother Gu, eat a piece of meat." ā
I didn't eat much at the banquet, and when I took the wild boar in Han Xiao's hand, I took a bite, but when I bit it, I felt that my mouth was full of oil, and the fragrance was splashing, and I smiled: "It's so fragrant." ā
The eighteen-knife brothers' barbecue technique is very special and crispy. If I were to roast these two boars, I am afraid that most of them would be scorched. Han Xiao cut off another piece of meat and handed it to Su Qingyao, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that we don't have any wine here, otherwise we will have to get drunk tonight." ā
Su Qingyao had a slightly drunk expression on his face, and said with a smile: "The old man drank a stomach of wine, and he didn't have wine, and he just dispersed the wine in his stomach." ā
The crowd burst into laughter. Su Qingyao pretends to be a gentleman on weekdays, wearing a Confucian shirt like a scribe, his face is slightly red at this time, his drunkenness has not disappeared, and the brothers and coachmen of the eighteen knives in the attic have also begun to let go.
At this time, Sanyan squeezed over and said with a smile: "Brother Han and I were talking about Mr.'s ghost boy before, and it really itched people along the way, Mr. Su might as well take out that ghost boy to help the fun, so that our brother can open his eyes." ā
A coachman by the campfire on the other side answered, "That's it, Mr. Su, take it out for us to see." ā
As soon as the two spoke, the other people also began to coax, Su Qingyao was not in a hurry at this time, shook his head slightly, his face was a little proud, and said, "Do you really want to see it?"
"It depends. ā
Su Qingyao laughed, handed the wild boar in his hand to a brother with eighteen knives next to him, touched his body with oil on his hand, and said, "Okay, while you're happy, I'll open your eyes." However, you can only look at it, not touch it. ā
Three-eyed couldn't wait to say: "Absolutely don't touch it." ā
Su Qingyao smiled and took off the cloth bag on his body, and the eighteen knife brothers around him were all very surprised, and they leaned over their heads one by one. I also stopped the movement in my hand and looked at Su Qingyao's cloth bag, but saw Su Qingyao take out the small bamboo cage from the cloth bag and hold it in his hand, and when he approached the bonfire, he suddenly sudden, his eyes swept over us, and he said very mysteriously: "It is poisonous in its body." ā
After a pause, his eyes turned to look at Xiao Wu, and he said, "I was bitten by it, and my whole body festered." He turned his head and looked at the three eyes again, and said, "I will die in three days." ā
It could have been said in one sentence, but he said it so carefully, we were all surprised, and when he said this, everyone's faces became inexplicably nervous, and the attic was quiet.
Seeing us like this, Su Qingyao seemed to be even more proud, and carefully lifted the bamboo cover on the top of the bamboo cage.
As soon as the bamboo lid was lifted, I felt that even the air around me was cold, and a soft toad sound came out of the bamboo cage.
"Quack"
We were surprised again, looking into the bamboo cage. But I saw a fat toad lying at the bottom of the palm-sized bamboo cage, this toad was half the size of a palm, with pimples on its back, and its whole body was yellow.
I was stunned and said, "Senior Su, isn't this just an ordinary toad? ā
It was indeed a very common toad lying in the bamboo cage, and it seemed that due to the weather, it lay at the bottom of the bamboo cage and did not move, as if it was dead. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that toad was coming from it.
Su Qingyao smiled, cut a small piece of golden meat from the boar on the bonfire, and said, "Look at it." ā
After speaking, he threw the small piece of wild boar in his hand into the bamboo cage. Before the piece of wild boar fell at the bottom of the bamboo cage, suddenly, the toad lying at the bottom of the bamboo cage and not moving, suddenly moved. I saw it suddenly open its pitch-black mouth, and a tongue as long as the thickness of a thumb covered with pitch-black barbs shot out like lightning, and it rolled up the piece of wild boar that was still falling in the air.
The tongue was almost entirely black, with barbs like scales on a fish's body, and two forks at the tip of the tongue, each with two blade-like barbs, resembling a snake letter. Its small open mouth was also different from that of an ordinary toad, its mouth was pitch black, but it was full of messy tiny fangs, and its upper and lower jaws were all over, and there was not a single flesh in one mouth.
The piece of pork was rolled into its mouth, and suddenly, between its two white eyes, a crack suddenly opened at the top of its head, which was half-closed and half-open, and it seemed to have a light blue crystal bead inside, exuding a slight blue glow and a little chill.
The surrounding Eighteen Knife Brothers let out a small exclamation, their eyes widened, and they said, "What kind of toad is this, why is it so strange?"
Su Qingyao said: "This is a blue water cold toad, it shouldn't look like this, but it will become so peculiar when it is raised by the old man with Gu worms." ā
Three-eyed smiled: "Mr. Su, where did you catch this blue water cold toad, I can also catch one, you teach me to feed the ghost boy, how about it?"
Su Qingyao put the bamboo cover on the bamboo cage, glared at him three times, and said, "Do you think it's easy to raise a ghost boy? This is what the old man bought from Wushan at a great price." ā
There are many tribes in the Western Regions, among which the four major tribes with the four royal lines are the most powerful, and the Wushan tribe is one of the four major tribes. The four major tribes are scattered all over the Western Regions, do not interfere with each other, the Wushan part is located in a secluded place in the southwest of the Western Regions, and it is rarely involved in the affairs between the Western Regions, and most of its subordinate tribes are also peaceful and self-guarding, and there is almost no trace of the Wushan Department in the territorial battles that often occur between the tribes of the Western Regions. There are a lot of ghost babies raised in the Wushan tribe, and the blue water cold toad in Su Qingyao's hand is obtained from the Wushan department, and the people of the Wushan tribe believe that raising Gu worms in the bodies of fish, insects and beasts can attract the gods of heaven to come down to protect the tribe, and many people in the clan raise ghost boys.
The method of raising ghost boys in the Wushan tribe is very unique, and it has a long history, and many tribes in the Western Regions have imitated the method of raising ghost children in the Wushan tribe and raised ghost boys to protect the tribes. Shang Boyu's mandrill is a ghost boy, and the mandrill ghost boy raised by Shang Bo Yu is imitating the ghost boy raised by the Wushan tribe, but Shang Boyu's imitation method is a shoddy breeding method, far from getting the essence of the ghost boy raised by the Wushan tribe. In the Wushan Department, any kind of animal can be raised into a ghost cub, from the mountain beast, the sea and river cockroach, to the grass insects, spring streams floating, but all living creatures can be raised into ghost cubs. Once the ghost cub is raised, it can drive away Gu worms, detoxify and cure diseases, and even participate in wars between tribes. However, raising ghost babies also requires a great risk, and the ghost boys are fed with Gu worms, which can be regarded as the Gu of Gu, and they are extremely aggressive before they survive, and if they are not careful, they will be in danger of being poisoned by Gu poison in their bodies, which is not an easy thing.
When Su Qingyao said this, his face was already full of red light, but I couldn't listen to it, and my stomach was faintly tumbling and vomiting. Su Qingyao was still talking endlessly about how he got this blue water cold toad, but the brothers of the Eighteen Swords could hear it, no wonder, swords, guns and halberds were the usual weapons used by the people in the Central Plains, and in the Western Regions, most of them used witches as soldiers, which naturally aroused Han Xiao's curiosity.
After finishing speaking, Su Qingyao put away the bamboo cage, I took the opportunity to divert the topic, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, I'll rest early." ā
Su Qingyao said with a smile: "Gu Xiaoyou, the method of raising ghost boys is very knowledgeable, and according to legend, the head lowering technique is obtained from the method of raising ghost boys. ā
I didn't see what the raising of ghost boys had to do with the head-lowering technique, and said, "Really? I don't see it." ā
Su Qingyao waved his hand and said, "Gu Xiaoyou, you don't understand the art of witchcraft, so naturally you don't know the mystery. Raising ghost boys needs to recognize the master as a success, and the ghost boy raises it with his own blood to lead it, in order to be effective, if the ghost boy knows the blood of the people, it will naturally not follow the owner, listen to its call. This is very different from the head-lowering technique, and it is also recognized by those great wizards in the Western Regions. ā
My heart moved, and I suddenly remembered Huang Zhutou, and also remembered the subordinates led by Tao Qingfeng, they were all head-lowering techniques in the body, but Huang Zhutou's head-lowering techniques were a little different from those people's head-lowering techniques, not so dull. I said: "Senior Su, a few days ago, you told you that Huang Zhutou had a head lowering technique in his body, but as far as I know, the head lowering technique on Huang Zhutou's body is different from the head lowering technique seen in Xia, what is going on?"
Su Qingyao's face showed a smug look again, and said: "That's because there are upper and lower head lowering techniques, and there are also advantages and disadvantages in the techniques." ā
He suddenly put on a radiant look again, shaking his head like a comfortable old man, and we couldn't help laughing, and a coachman next to him asked, "What's the difference?"
Su Qingyao said: "The difference is not ordinary. The Gu poison used in the inferior head lowering technique is despicable, and the person in the Gu is like being hallucinated, like a dull wood, unconscious, and the sword enters the body is still unknown, unless the head is cut off and the witchcraft can be unraveled, but if the head is cut off, the person will die. ā
This is not false at all, we encountered Tao Qingfeng and others intercepted on the way to the dart that day, those big men were hit by the head lowering technique, and they still did not feel pain when the knife was cut on the body, until we cut off their heads and died. Su Qingyao said again: "The top-grade head lowering technique is terrible......
I was listening attentively, but Su Qingyao suddenly paused at this time, his eyes swept over us, and the three eyes couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"
Su Qingyao suddenly laughed, stood up and stretched, and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, the old man suddenly got a little tired and took his leave." Tsk, the roasted boar meat is so fragrant. ā
As he said this, he walked towards the room where he lived, and we were not interested for a while, but we didn't dare to talk more, after all, among us, Su Qingyao's generation was the biggest. But I think the top-grade head-lowering technique in his mouth should be the head-lowering technique in the yellow head-hunting, right?
When you think about it, it's possible. After Huang Zhutou was hit by the head-lowering technique, he talked and laughed, and he couldn't tell that he was a person who had been hit by the head-lowering technique, and he was more like a living person than the big man under Tao Qingfeng.
If this is the case, then there is indeed a distinction between the upper and lower levels.
I was thinking about it when suddenly a person outside the attic shouted: "No fire is allowed in the pavilion, please all the heroes of Youyun Villa respect yourself, don't be difficult to do." ā
The Kunlun sect has strict rules, and it is indeed a little disrespectful for us to set up a fire to roast a boar in the attic, and as soon as the Kunlun sect disciple outside spoke, the noise in the attic immediately became smaller. I saw that many people pouted, and Han Xiao replied to the outside: "What the brother outside said is that I will put out the fire when I wait, and I will disturb." (To be continued.) )
