"Uncle, is this thing useful?"
Xiao Wu took the elixir in his hand. The elixir was only about the size of a soybean, like a black sheep dung egg. When he got closer and smelled it, it had a cool and bitter smell.
Wu Tuman glanced at A Niu:
"Why are you talking so much? If we don't click on it, we will be entangled with dirty things again. This stuff contains coptis, cinnabar, frankincense, fennel, nard, asarum, and rue, which can ward off all evil spirits. "
After saying that, Ah Ying took out the fire folder, lit it with the incense cauldron she brought with her, and walked around the temple a few times. When the cool and light fragrance filled the space, they no longer had this headache and brain swelling feeling.
"vomit!"
But in the blink of an eye, the strange fragrance wafting from the statue of Shao Siming suddenly turned into a fishy stench in his nose, as if he had lit a piece of rotten wood soaked in animal urine.
"Uncle Wutuman, please stop being so pretentious. What's going on?" Yue Guanchao asked, covering his nose.
The old man Wu Tuman didn't say anything, stepped on the fence and looked at the baby in Shao Siming's arms.
The baby's head had been hollowed out by some animal. After groping inside a few times, he could pull out an incense burner the size of a turtle shell. The old man smashed it on the ground, and the contents spilled out with a loud clang.
"What are these? They look like the horns of some animals."
Song Siyuan picked up a piece and observed it carefully. These particles were all cut into cubes of horn. Some of the horn was still burning, emitting wisps of white smoke.
The old man Wu Tuman's eyes became dark and his face was gloomy:
"Don't dare to burn a raw rhinoceros. It smells strange when burned. If it sticks to your pocket, you can communicate with ghosts. This thing is a rhinoceros horn. Just now we were under the influence of illusions and dreams."
After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and took out the normal-sized divine sword from Shao Siming's hand and placed it in front of everyone's eyes.
Yue Guanchao discovered that this divine sword was indeed made of bronze. However, the talismans on the sword were not carved. Instead, they were first carved with rune grooves and then inlaid with white bones. It looked like it was covered with silvery white lines and was full of ghosts. gas.
However, the bronze sword looks sharp but does not have an edge. The edge is just a thick iron sheet, which can only cut tofu at most!
"What kind of knife is this? It looks so evil?"
Yue Guanchao unconsciously touched the bronze sword and ran his fingers across the blade, causing a sharp scream.
"A sword is used to cut down living creatures and kill spirits and monsters. If it is not sharpened, then it must not be used for cutting and killing. I am afraid it has other uses."
Utuman took his water bag and poured water on the sword.
However, in the blink of an eye, an animal odor emitted from the sword, as if countless yellow men were pulling at their scalps and pouring stench into their noses.
The old man Utuman pointed at the divine sword and explained to everyone:
"This thing is called the Yin Bone Sword, also called the Huangxian Sword. It is rumored that it is made from the bones of Huangpizi that have been refined for hundreds of years. It can confuse people's hearts. Furthermore, Huangpizi likes to be close to the same kind. The Huangpizi it attracts will be in the wild. Just urinate in various places, Huangpizi will only become more evil if he urinates too much. If he encounters rhinoceros horns again, he will definitely give birth to a murderous dream within a dream..."
"Some people who are not very good at Chuma Xian's family and want to eat Chuma's rice bowl will use similar Yin bone knives to pretend to be gods. Anyway, living people can't distinguish between illusions and dreams. They think they have met their underground relatives, and they don't think they are meeting their relatives underground. I am willing to pay for peace of mind.”
According to the old man Utuman, the so-called dream within a fantasy means that after seeing a hallucination, multiple dreams will appear in the hallucination!
Even if a person is lucky enough to wake up from a dream, he will fall into a dream again as soon as he smells raw rhinoceros, unless there is something to get rid of the foul smell to break the illusion.
Otherwise, people can only be dragged to death by dirty things in their dreams. Even if they die completely, they may not be able to wake up. This is a cruel method of killing, and a person can be tortured to death without seeing blood.
Yue Guanchao carefully considered the words of the old man Wu Tuman. He was clearly in a dream-within-a-dream state when he was confused just now.
He couldn't help but feel afraid. Without that injection, he might be pulled by something dirty again.
He quickly pinched the root of his thigh. After feeling pain, he felt relieved.
Utuman knew what he was thinking, and there was a hint of pride in his old eyes:
"Hunter, you don't need to pinch yourself. Dreams within illusions are not ordinary hallucinations. They can even imitate people's five senses. Even if you pinch your thigh, you may not be able to tell whether you are dreaming or not."
"ah?"
Yue Guanchao had a grimace on his face, and his facial features were twisted like Zaohua steamed buns!
"But don't be afraid. One thing will bring down another. Coptis chinensis is very bitter, and cinnabar is very evil. These two things are powerful medicines against filthy things. If you can smell the stench, it means we are fine."
Song Siyuan lowered her head and started writing in her notebook. She seemed to have thought of something and raised her head and asked:
"Uncle Utuman, I understand what you mean. We were already hallucinating when we entered Yezhi Hall. When we entered the temple, we suddenly smelled the fragrance of rhinoceros and had a dream within the hallucination, right?"
Wu Tuman nodded in response, which proved that Song Siyuan's guess was correct.
"But raw rhinoceros has to be ignited for it to have any effect?"
"So, who lit the rhinoceros?"
This question caused everyone to be silent for a while, and none of them could answer.
Wu Tuman sighed: "This is what makes the old man strange. He can harm people with raw rhinoceros and vaginal bone knives. After all, he is a wise man. We have no grievances or enmities with these people. Why do they want to harm us? .”
"The old man can only say that although there is no one in this Witch Coffin Town, it is full of other dirty things!"
The old man Utuman's words made the backs of their heads numb, as if there were ants crawling around, and hair quickly grew on the backs of their hands.
Unknown enemies are the most terrifying!
If the enemy they faced was a human being, they might be able to determine the outcome, but if they were an incorporeal dirty thing, their lives might not be guaranteed.
"Let's go, get out of here quickly. I don't know what else is waiting for you when you're done."
Everyone was puzzled, but they still had to move forward. They opened the temple door and returned along the original path. On the way back, the soldiers and bandits could no longer be seen in the corridor, as if they had never existed.
When Yue Kanshio walked out of Nogedo, he noticed something staring at them. He turned around suddenly and saw a pair of furry black claws flashing into the shadows.
