It is said that he has always wanted to rebuild the Great Buddha Hall and the nine-story building, but he has never been able to raise enough silver to start the construction. In his early years, there was an explorer Stein Hein who came to him twice to buy scriptures and promised to buy them for him. Donating money to rebuild the pavilion, but I haven't been here since, and it's empty talk when I think about it.
Xu Xiake stayed there for a whole month. Taoist Wang talked with him a lot, and the most talked about thing was regret. When he discovered the scripture cave, he kept the scriptures well for more than ten years, but he did not expect that the previous government knew about it. These scriptures are famous, and the people sent here are not to protect the scriptures, but to do everything possible to seize them.
If this is the case, it would be better not to discover the scripture cave in the first place, so that these scriptures can be saved from being plundered.
Before leaving, Xu Xiake left the money he had with Taoist Wang and returned to the northwest from Hexi. When he walked to Longxi, he found the living dead in Longnan County. The local villagers were hunting the living corpses, so he decided to give up the business road from Longnan first When entering Shu, I walked into the Yinping Ancient Road with the companions of these local warriors to investigate the situation.
When they reached the depths of Yinping Wild Mountain, they could see countless living corpses wandering in the mountains. However, these corpses were very afraid of people and avoided people when faced with them. However, at night, they became very ferocious, chasing and biting living people, accurately. Generally speaking, he only walked part of the Yinping Ancient Road, and soon entered the Longnan Commercial Road through other ancient roads and returned to Sichuan.
After stumbling, two months later, I had been repairing in Shu, and then I met them again!
"Hey, I haven't asked you yet, haven't you returned to Fengtian?"
After Xu Xiake finished speaking, he looked at everyone with curious eyes.
To make a long story short, Yue Guanchao briefly informed them of what happened when they left Xijing and returned to Sichuan. After hearing this, Xu Xiake’s eyes became colder: “According to your opinion, these are related to the remnants of the Witch God!”
"Yes, we suspect that the remnants of the Witch God are manipulating the Nuo God Cult to do things, but we don't know what the purpose of these people is."
Song Siyuan really knew nothing about this. So far, she didn't even know where the Yinping Witchland was. Just the people in Jiangyou Ancient Town being poisoned was enough for them to cope with. She said in an anxious tone: "By the way, you I have been in contact with corpses. Do you know how corpses can be resurrected? Do they think they are alive? Or do they think they have souls? Or maybe they are bewitched."
What they saw from the high tower was only a distant view. As for how the living corpse was resurrected, they still knew nothing. Just from Boss Qiu’s photos, they could not determine the cause of the resurrection. In her opinion, the most likely reason was The situation is either that he was possessed by a poison, or that he was parasitized by something.
Xu Xiake thought for a moment, and his expression became mysterious: "When I was in Yinping, I was also curious about the mystery of corpse resurrection. When I helped Xiang Yong hunt and kill the living corpses, I also tried to treat these living corpses. I found that the living corpses seemed to have There is some kind of Gu worm, but I don’t know what kind of worm it is. It is spread all over the body and covered on the joints. It can support the corpse to walk. If you want to completely eliminate it, you have to burn it or cut off the head. It is expected that the Gu mother will never hide in the head. .”
After Xu Xiake finished speaking, Lan Ruling took out something from the mountain spring water and handed it to Xu Xiake: "Is it this thing?"
"no!"
Xu Xiake shook his head: "Those Gu worms are not that small. They burrow into the muscles. You have to tear the muscles apart to find them. They are a bit like red silkworms. After being peeled off, they swim more happily when put into the water. Only It will die if you sprinkle it with lime powder.”
"This is strange. I have to go back and look through the Nuo Gu skills left by my mother. Maybe she recorded this."
"This matter is related to Sister Ren, and it is also related to your illness. How can you not save your friend when he is in trouble? I have decided this matter. In a few days, there will be a ceremony to receive the Yin God, and there will also be a Nuo God Cult. Everyone, let’s see what the Nuo God Cult wants to do then.”
"Tomorrow we will go to the back hill of Jiangyou Ancient Town to have a look. If there are really Gu insects, your guess will come true."
At this point, Xu Xiake had already decided to help. He walked to the main hall and said goodbye to Bai Chongyang, then returned to the inn with Yue Guanchao and the others.
As soon as they entered the inn, Lan Ruling immediately got into their guest room and took out "Hundred Nuo Gu Techniques" to study.
According to Lan Ruling's words, this book is a method of harming others summed up by her mother-in-law. It is not to let her harm others, but more to let her understand that she must not have the intention of harming others and be defensive. Indispensable, Lan Ruling has learned medical voodoo skills since she was a child. Lan Qingping is also cautious and cautious before teaching her anything that involves harming people.
There are reasons for this: firstly, if the poisonous poison is not controlled, it can easily backfire on him; secondly, he does not want Lan Ruling to be contaminated by the evil poison and develop a weird and cunning character.
Regardless of whether they are medical or evil, they are all voodoos. Before Lan Qingping left, he simply compiled the voodoos that could harm people into "One Hundred Nuo Gu Techniques" and asked Lan Ruling to keep it in his collection.
At the moment, Lan Ruling couldn't tell the difference between the poisonous insects, but she felt that poisonous insects would probably be classified as evil poisonous insects, so she opened the book and read it carefully.
I haven't read the book for more than ten years, and some of the pages have been stuck together. After being separated, the ink has been smudged, and there is a strong smell of old books. The paper must be good, so it can be preserved to this day.
Yue Guanchao and the others sat at another table, waiting anxiously for the results. Xu Xiake stood by the railing, staring at the exquisite houses in the ancient town.
"found it!"
When everyone saw Lan Ruling's record of finding the Gu worm, they gathered together with excited expressions.
"Corpse Gu."
The Corpse Gu is one of the twelve poisonous poisons of ancient Wu Nuo. No matter whether it is a living person or a dead person, as long as it is poisoned by the Corpse Gu, it will become afraid of light and heat, prefer shade and coolness, and at the same time be bloodthirsty and cruel, killing living people. The food is often not for eating or drinking, but just to vent the evil spirit of insects.
People infected by the poison like to wander around at night and attack others. During the day, they will become dull due to sunlight and heat. They can only avoid living people to protect themselves. If the weather is too hot, they will escape from the host. Soil, waiting for the next parasite.
After these worms escape from their host, they will sleep in a place with a suitable temperature. After finding a new host, they will gradually wake up and enter the brain along the human skin. Then they will multiply to a certain number in the host's body and successfully occupy the whole body. The poisonous insect will turn into a poisonous mother and control the corpse to wander outside.
Rumor has it that this poisonous insect comes from the Seventy-Two Cave of Wu Nuo. It is a poisonous insect from the clan era of Shu. It was used to deal with the war between the Central Plains and the Gu people in the southwest. Because the number of Wu Nuo Gu people was too small, the ancestors of the Gu people only then The Corpse Gu was developed to fight against the king's division in the Central Plains.
This also means that these Gu insects can be manipulated. Some Gu masters can use jade flutes to control Gu corpses to fight, making one against ten, invincible.
"Why does this kind of Gu art feel like the murals we saw?"
Song Siyuan realized something was wrong, took out her backpack, took out the murals they saw in the tomb, and displayed them in front of everyone.
Some people died, but not completely...
